Jiang Ling held Fan Yu's hand and entered the world behind the gate. Chen Ge had no other choice now. Compared to the man in red with blood all over his face, he felt that it was safer behind the blood gate.

The air became sticky, a smell of blood lingered at the tip of my nose, and my vision was obscured, as if I was in a thick fog.

"It's quite different from the world behind the door in Ward 3."

This was Chen Ge's second time entering the Blood Gate. The world behind the Living Coffin Village Gate was filled with blood mist, and visibility was only two or three meters away.

"Don't get lost. There are man-eating creatures hiding in this fog." Jiang Ling had completely torn off her disguise, but her childish voice was filled with an unquestionable strength.

"Got it." Chen Ge looked at me strangely. "It's hard to imagine that a little guy who can't even hit my shoulder when he jumps is actually a top-level red ghost."

"Although you saved me, please be careful with your words, otherwise I can only repay you after you die." Jiang Ling glanced at Chen Ge coldly. After entering the door, her coat began to change. The blood threads in the fog kept entwining around her body, as if she was the master here.

Chen Ge's eyelids twitched slightly. He felt that the words sounded familiar. He remembered Zhang Ya's love letter.

After Chen Ge came in, Jiang Ling closed the door. When she opened it again, the scene outside the door had completely changed.

Before my eyes was a blood-red village, with thick fog covering the sky and enveloping everything.

"The man in red will catch up soon. This door won't delay us for too long."

When the blood mist floated to Jiang Ling, it would directly merge into her body, but perhaps because her injuries were too severe, she could not actively absorb the mist.

Led by Jiang Ling, the three of them walked towards one side of the village. The closed blood door behind them trembled slightly, and roars continued to come from the other side of the door.

"Where are you taking us?" The blood mist had no effect on Jiang Ling, but it made Chen Ge and Fan Yu feel very uncomfortable, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

"Be quiet." Jiang Ling gestured to the two to hide in the small house next to them. After waiting for a few seconds, a deformed monster walked out of the fog in front.

It has a tall body, deformed arms, crooked and hideous facial features. It wears a coarse coat and looks around as if it is looking for something.

The fog was thick, and the monster walked past Jiang Ling and the others and soon disappeared.

"What is that?" Chen Ge pointed in the direction where the monster left.

"Villagers." Jiang Ling couldn't hide the resentment in his eyes at all: "They are what the villagers look like in my mind."

"What do the villagers look like in your mind? Is this blood-red world constructed according to your cognition?" Chen Ge attached great importance to all information related to the door.

"I don't know how this world came into being. I only know that this world is very similar to a nightmare I once had. In my nightmare, all the villagers were monsters like him, deformed and ugly, and they were always looking for me and wanted to capture me back." Jiang Ling didn't continue speaking. She changed direction and walked towards the depths of the village.

Behind the door was a blood-red world, but Chen Ge still hadn't figured out whether this world was a connected whole or a series of independent entities.

According to the investigator who jumped off the building, everyone has a door in their heart, and this door can only be opened when the mind completely collapses and is most desperate.

Men Nan pushed open the door of the third ward. The world behind the door was the world in Men Nan's impression, with patients who looked like zombies due to injection of sedatives, twisted and strange doctors, and broken hands due to fear.

The world behind the gate of the Living Coffin Village is shrouded in blood mist, and is filled with villagers with deformed bodies who want to catch her, which is consistent with the ghost girl's impression of the village when she was alive.

"Is the world behind the door a reflection of human hearts? Is it a real nightmare?"

Chen Ge thought about the door in his haunted house again: "Why is there a door in my haunted house? Who left that door?"

The blood mist spread, and the sounds of roaring and fighting were heard behind him. It should be the red-clothed people from the Ghost Story Association fighting with the villagers from the world behind the door.

"Let them fight, we're going to get something."

Passing through the blood mist, Jiang Ling brought Chen Ge and Fan Yu to the center of the village.

The fog here became thinner, and a group of villagers were kneeling in the open space in the middle.

They have deformed bodies and ugly faces, and even if they are wearing clothes, they can hardly be called human beings.

"What are they doing?"

"repent."

These monsters lowered their heads with their bodies facing the ancestral hall, and between the ancestral hall and the village stood a red coffin!

Unlike in reality, the coffin in the world behind the door was blocking the entrance to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is the place where the ancestors are worshipped in the village, but this coffin is standing in the middle for no reason at all.

"As long as we open the coffin, everything will be fine tonight." Jiang Ling walked around to the side and slowly approached the ancestral hall: "Don't alarm these monsters."

The three living people held their breath, moved their feet, and approached the ancestral hall little by little.

The fog surged, as if it had sensed the breath of living people, and some of the monsters' lowered heads shook slightly.

Fan Yu and Jiang Ling walked in front, and Chen Ge was the last one to come. He looked at the monsters kneeling on the ground and felt a little creepy.

Red paper money was scattered around, and the monsters looked like they were attending a funeral. They were forced to lower their heads and put on sad expressions, trying to squeeze out a few tears.

"Mourning? Funeral?" After entering the Living Coffin Village, Chen Ge discovered that there were many things related to funerals in the village, including white lanterns hanging on the streets, paper money, and coffins.

"Whether in reality or in the world behind the door, this village seems to be holding a funeral, a funeral that has continued to this day and has yet to end."

Chen Ge took out his black cell phone and took a look. "I have entered the world behind the door, but the phone did not tell me that the mission failed. It seems that according to the black cell phone, it doesn't matter whether I am inside or outside the door, as long as I don't leave the village, it will be fine."

He found the mission information. He saw the words "Living Coffin Village" on the black phone. At first he just thought the name was strange and didn't think much about it.

But now, after combining the various things he encountered in the village, Chen Ge had some vague guesses: "Living coffin?"

Sliding the screen and turning to the task prompt, Chen Ge looked at the information on his phone.

“That day, they all came except me.”

The prompt message for this trial mission was very short. Chen Ge slowly narrowed his eyes. It was not until now that he understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Those people came to attend my funeral. They came to mourn for me, so they all came except me. This prompt message is trying to tell me that the key to breaking the deadlock is related to the funeral."

Chen Ge looked towards the entrance of the ancestral hall. At this time, Jiang Ling had quietly run to the side of the red coffin.
