"The door was opened?"
Chen Ge's hands froze in mid-air. The strangest thing at this moment was that the angle at which the door in the mirror opened was almost the same as the angle at which the door in the bathroom stall opened.
After taking off the black cloth, Chen Ge walked to the toilet cubicle. He turned his head to look at the mirror and stretched out his hand to open the cubicle door completely.
In reality, there was nothing in the toilet cubicle, but the picture reflected in the mirror was completely different. The narrow cubicle was blood red, and the walls and floor seemed to be oozing blood. It seemed like another world.
Chen Ge still didn't have the courage to enter the compartment to find out the truth. He grabbed the door panel and wondered whether he should dismantle these things.
About ten seconds later, Chen Ge heard a very strange sound, coming from far away and getting closer, as if a person was crawling on the ground in wet clothes.
"Where did it come from?" The voice became clearer and clearer, and it was getting closer and closer to Chen Ge.
He glanced out into the hallway, then back at the mirror, and finally determined that the sound was coming from the toilet cubicle.
"Something is coming?" Now was not the time to be curious. Chen Ge decisively closed the door of the cubicle. He propped the door lock with a mop and turned around to look at the mirror.
The sound that sounded like a corpse being dragged entered the compartment, and soon a blood-red smell escaped from the crack in the door. The other party seemed to be looking for something, and a strong fishy smell filled the air.
After a few seconds, the sound gradually faded away and the stench in the air slowly dissipated.
A minute later, the door of the compartment in the mirror returned to normal and the room became much brighter.
Chen Ge leaned against the cubicle door, sweating on his palms. If he didn't wake up, the thing crawling on the ground would probably run out like the monster in the mirror.
"Even if the mirror is covered with a black cloth, the blood-red door will still appear on time."
Chen Ge knew nothing about the world behind the cubicle door, and he had no good solution for the time being, so he could only lock the cubicle with the problem.
After washing his face with cold water, Chen Ge returned to the staff lounge. When he opened the door, he found that Xiao Xiao had gone somewhere again.
"Did she come over here just to remind me just now?" Chen Ge sat on the edge of the bed. He couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he took out his black cell phone.
Sliding the screen, Chen Ge clicked on the daily tasks column.
“Easy difficulty: A terrifying experience should not cause traumatic psychological trauma to the experiencer. Please improve the safety system of the haunted house and check the safety hazards in the haunted house.”
“General difficulty: One person cannot support the house alone. A good haunted house needs an excellent team to operate. Recruit more talents and they will help you overcome difficulties.”
“Nightmare difficulty: There has always been another person living in your room. Don’t you want to know who he is?”
"Attention! Some missions are extremely dangerous, please choose carefully!"
The three daily tasks that were refreshed all looked familiar to Chen Ge. He had seen them many times.
"Simple tasks and tasks of normal difficulty are what I should do at this stage. I need to increase my manpower and improve the safety system. But in comparison, the rewards for nightmare tasks are more tempting."
Danger and opportunity coexist, and what's more important is that after he hired the Pen Fairy, he has one predictable opportunity a day.
In his opinion, it is more cost-effective to use such opportunities on nightmare-level daily tasks.
Taking out the ballpoint pen wrapped with transparent tape, Chen Ge felt a little embarrassed: "When there is a chance, ask the Pen Fairy if I can get her a new pen."
Chen Ge randomly found a piece of white paper and spread it on the table. He then recited the spell to call the Pen Fairy. After receiving the Pen Fairy's response, he asked the question in his mind.
"Can I safely complete the latest nightmare daily task on my phone?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Ge looked at the white paper in front of him. His ballpoint pen trembled for a long time, but he still couldn't draw the answer.
"Is this question difficult?" The Pen Fairy's ability was not as strong as Chen Ge imagined. It seemed that she could not answer anything related to the black phone.
Chen Ge looked at the ballpoint pen in his hand that was about to disintegrate, and quickly changed the question: "The one just now doesn't count. I want to ask you if there has always been another person living in this room?"
The ballpoint pen stayed on the paper for a long time, and finally wrote the word "yes".
"Then do you know what it looks like?"
This time the Pen Fairy did not respond, and the ballpoint pen in his hand returned to normal.
Chen Ge did not mean to blame the Pen Fairy. Predictions seemed to consume a certain amount of energy from the Pen Fairy itself, which was probably why the Pen Fairy could only predict once a day.
"Is there really another person living here? I didn't even notice it. From the mission description, it seems that this guy is different from ordinary ghosts." There are now many more residents in Chen Ge's haunted house. He doesn't mind if any strange things appear again, but the prerequisite is that the other party must listen to him and not hurt tourists like the mirror ghost.
After much deliberation, Chen Ge decided to accept the nightmare-level mission.
"Are you sure you want to accept the nightmare difficulty daily mission? Accepting it may lead to unknown situations."
"Sure."
The screen flashed, and a new message appeared.
"It lives in the room with you and appears when you fall asleep."
"If it has good intentions, it will wipe away the filth behind you and protect your home."
"If it has evil intentions, it will stand by your bed while you are sleeping, thinking maliciously about how to destroy you."
"The name of the following game is Invisible Guest: Sprinkle soaked rice around the house at midnight, place a pair of worn slippers outside the door, light a white wax on the bedroom floor, make the bed look like someone is sleeping, and finally lie under the bed. The key to the task is that you must really fall asleep. As long as you see its face, the task is considered successful."
"This mission is the third nightmare-level daily mission you have accepted. After completing the mission, you will randomly receive a trial mission with a horror scene."
"Attention: After completing three nightmare missions, the nightmare-level missions in the daily missions will be randomly refreshed. Please treat each nightmare mission with caution!"
After reading it once, Chen Ge had memorized the mission information.
"Why is it necessary to fall asleep for the mission? How can I see the other person's face when I am asleep? Did I see it in a dream?" Chen Ge didn't quite understand the meaning of this mission, but since he had already accepted it, he could only do it according to the mission requirements.
After putting on his coat, Chen Ge once again visited the Paradise Canteen late at night and "borrowed" half a bowl of rice.
"The haunted house is so big, it would be a waste to spread it all out." After soaking the white rice in cold water, Chen Ge scattered it near several rooms on the first floor of the haunted house. He found a pair of slippers and placed them at the entrance of the corridor of the haunted house. Then he lit a white candle beside the bed.
