"I must have seen her somewhere."
It’s not that Chen Ge is very confident in his memory, but the girl’s face is very distinctive and it is difficult to forget.
He couldn't remember what he had done and was unwilling to let the man go, so he grabbed his cell phone, grabbed a hammer and chased after him.
The rice on the ground was kicked apart, and when Chen Ge walked out of the staff lounge, the shadow had disappeared.
"Where did she go? The door is closed. The girl should still be in the haunted house."
Turning on the light, Chen Ge walked to the scattered rice, followed the scattered rice grains and slowly moved forward to the deepest part of the corridor on the first floor.
The wooden boards covering the ground were lifted up, and the sound of wind whistling underneath could be heard.
Chen Ge pushed the wooden board aside, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and entered the scene of Muyang Middle School.
Grains of rice could be vaguely seen on the stairs, which made Chen Ge even more certain that the girl had run into the Muyang Middle School scene.
"Her escape route is very clear. She came in this direction." The scene was large, but the rice grains left on the ground pointed him in the direction.
The horror scene was set in the underground parking lot, but the terrain of the parking lot was not changed. The white rice grains finally disappeared next to a load-bearing column.
"Could it be hiding in the pillar?" This load-bearing pillar is located directly below the haunted house and bears the weight of the entire haunted house.
Patting the pillar, Chen Ge recalled the stories his elders had told him when he was a child. There was a spirit living in every house, most of them were good spirits, but there were also evil spirits.
Good spirits protect the home, stabilize the people's fortunes, and bring harmony to the neighbors; evil spirits disrupt the order of things and destroy the family's feng shui.
Usually the spirits living in the house are deceased ancestors, but there are exceptions. For example, where Fan Yu and his aunt live, there are many ghosts running rampant. If left unattended, they will become more and more out of control.
This is the same as described in the introduction of the black phone mission. There is a guest in the house who has never been seen before. It may be full of malicious intent or it may have good intentions.
"Could the girl hiding behind me just now be the spirit protecting the haunted house?" The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He walked around the pillar and found a puppet thrown behind the concrete pillar. This puppet was the first puppet he made by himself.
"That's not right! I always have my doll with me." Chen Ge reached into his pocket, but the doll that was originally stuffed in his arms had long disappeared. "Is that you, the person who lives with me in the haunted house?"
Chen Ge reached out to pick up the puppet, and when he took it away, he saw that there was a man-made hole under the puppet's body.
He looked into the hole with the help of the light from his cell phone. In the hole, which was only wide enough for four fingers to fit, was a bracelet and a thousand paper cranes.
Neither of them were expensive items. The bracelet was made of plastic and looked very much like a little girl's toy. The paper crane stuffed at the bottom had been severely deformed.
After taking the item out, Chen Ge saw three crooked words at the end of the bracelet - Luo Ruoyu.
"Why are there girls' toys in the underground parking lot?" Chen Ge held the bracelet in front of him: "If this bracelet belongs to the figure just now, then the three words on the bracelet should be her name."
The surname is Luo, the guardian spirit of the haunted house, the girl's toy in the underground parking lot...
Connecting all the clues together, Chen Ge slapped his head. The face he had just seen in a trance overlapped with another face in his memory.
"This girl is the daughter of Director Luo of New Century Paradise!"
When he went to see Director Luo to discuss leasing the underground parking lot, he saw the girl's photo. She had physical defects, but had the purest smile.
"The girl became the guardian spirit of the entire park? But why did she possess the puppet left by my parents?" Chen Ge felt that this nightmare mission had a deeper meaning. He took the puppet, bracelet and paper crane and ran back to the employee lounge. He took out a photo album from the locked drawer and opened the first page of the album to see a photo of Chen Ge's family of three.
This was taken by Chen Ge's parents on the first day the horror house was built. The background of the photo is the door of the horror house.
In the photo, Chen Ge's father stood proudly in the middle, as happy as a child. Chen Ge, who was still in school at the time, was separated from his parents, looking at the camera speechlessly.
His mother was standing on the other side of his father. Looking at the photo carefully, Chen Ge discovered that his mother's hand was raised in the air with her fingers bent, as if she was holding another person's hand.
“There were four people in this photo?”
Looking through the photo album, there is another photo that is even more bizarre. The father is pointing at the horror house and showing it off to Chen Ge, while the mother is half-crouching on the ground, reaching out her hand to gently touch the air.
There were many daily life photos at the end, which made Chen Ge feel cold. He had always felt strange before, why every time he took a photo of himself, he would always leave a large space next to him, as if the person he was really photographing was someone else, and he was just a breathing background.
"Isn't this old couple's attitude towards ghosts too good? If you put yourself in their shoes, with parents like them, there's no need to worry about not being visited by evil spirits!"
He really didn't expect that Director Luo's daughter would be attached to the rag doll left by her parents, and it seemed that she had lived with them for a long time.
Director Luo's daughter is the guardian spirit of the park. She cannot leave the park, so Chen Ge's puppets are only useful in the haunted house and the park.
It is for this reason that when Wang Qi was about to launch a surprise attack on Chen Ge in the small house on the back hill of Ping An Apartment, the puppet did not react at all. There are many similar situations.
Chen Ge closed the photo album and rubbed his temples gently. He felt that there was something fishy about this mission.
He shifted his eyes away from the doll and the bracelet and held the paper crane in his palm.
The material was ordinary, but it seemed to be stained with blood, and looked dirty.
"This paper crane doesn't look like it was put in recently. It must have been there for a long time."
After taking apart the paper crane, nine words were written on the white paper stained with a small piece of blood - the third room in the third ward!
"The third ward?" Chen Ge lost his composure the moment he saw these words. After completing three nightmare-level daily tasks, he could obtain another horror scene trial task. Before doing the task, he had already prepared to choose the task corresponding to the third ward. After all, this horror scene was the only three-star horror scene that came with the black phone.
"The handwriting looks very similar to that of my family members, but why would they leave a location without any clue? Is the third room in the third ward dangerous, or does it contain the secret of their disappearance?" Chen Ge put away the paper and thought about another question.
"The black phone said that after completing the third nightmare mission, the following nightmare missions will be randomly refreshed. This means that the three nightmare missions I have completed are fixed."
"The first mission opened the door to another world for me; the second mission told me that my parents were only missing, but still alive; the third mission left me with a location. First it gained my trust, then gave me hope, and finally left me with a direction to explore. The three nightmare missions are linked together, and it seems to have a deep meaning."
