Chapter 479 There is only one truth! 4000 words



Yang Chen walked at the back, with a gleam in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly, controlling his expression to ensure that no one would notice his abnormality.

"You guys want to play, then I'll play with you to the end, and I want to win this time."

Because he has never done it before, he is eager to succeed. Yang Chen enjoys this process very much. He likes this exciting feeling, which is something that no other entertainment mode can bring him.

"There's a ghost among the twelve tourists. If we catch him, we can break the situation." Yang Chen walked between his classmates, Lao Zhou, and Duan Yue. After ensuring his own safety, he secretly watched the two editors and Xiao Li's every move.

"The owner of the haunted house never plays by the rules. Fan Cong and Fan Dade, who have already been in trouble, are also likely to be ghosts. They disappeared early, and they may appear somewhere else next time, disguising themselves as victims."

Yang Chen thought very comprehensively. He was very cautious and constantly improved his speculations.

The wall lamp emitted a dim light, the iron door next to it was half open, there were water stains on the ground, and there was a row of rusty morgue cabinets in the room.

"Mortuary No. 1?"

There were a few words written crookedly next to the door. Huya took a look inside and saw that all the morgue cabinets were locked.

"Tailing?" She called into the room, but no one responded. "Shouldn't Tail be hiding in the morgue?"

The two editors went in and took a look around, but found nothing, so they continued forward.

The corpse storage in Jiujiang Forensic Medical College is not arranged according to location, but according to size and purpose. Several tourists walked along the passage for three minutes, and a half-open iron door appeared in front of them.

"Mortuary No. 5? The internal structures of these mortuaries are similar. What is the plan of the owner of the haunted house to build so many mortuaries? Is he really planning to hide corpses?" Wang Yan touched the cold iron cabinets and said, "Just like what I saw in the textbook, these mortuary cabinets should be real ones. They may be things that were eliminated from the front line and collected by the owner of the haunted house."

When he said this, his expression didn't look very good and his voice was a little out of tune.

"Things discarded from the front line?" Xiao Li pondered Wang Yan's words, and his face gradually darkened: "Doesn't that mean that these morgues really once stored corpses?"

“That’s right.” Yang Chen nodded. He stared at Xiao Li, trying to see something from his expression, but to his disappointment, all of Xiao Li’s reactions were normal: “According to my guess, in a dozen seconds, the wall light will go out. I suggest that everyone stay in this room and don’t run around. Wait until the third darkness before continuing to explore.”

There were all kinds of terrifying monsters hiding in the darkness. Huya and Anan knew that Yang Chen was doing this for everyone’s good, so they agreed this time.

Time passed by, and four minutes had passed since the last time the lights were turned off, but the wall lamp was still not turned off.

Several people gathered together and looked at Yang Chen.

"The lights didn't go out, which means there's no pattern to turning them off, which means the owner of the haunted house is always watching us, and will take action as soon as he finds a loophole." Yang Chen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by other tourists.

"Stop making meaningless speculations." Hu Ya shook her head and turned to walk outside: "Follow me, walk together, don't be afraid of anything else."

The editor-in-chief of the horror magazine revealed her decisive side. She opened the iron gate and walked directly outside, with An Nan jogging behind her.

"This woman is quite interesting." Bai Qiulin looked at Hu Ya's back and coughed, "Let's go over too. She's right. Many times we scare ourselves. There's no need to be too nervous. Don't forget, this is just a haunted house, just a place for entertainment to scare people. Could there be real ghosts in it?"

"Brother Bai is right." Xiao Li followed Bai Qiulin out.

"Let's go too."

Just as Lao Zhou and Duan Yue were about to walk out, Yang Chen at the end of the team suddenly said in a low voice: "Lao Zhou, you two had better not go with those two editors."

"Why?" Lao Zhou turned around. He felt that this forensic medicine student was a little bit strange.

“I’m not sure now, just remember what I said.” After Yang Chen finished speaking, he led Li Xue and Wang Yan to the front of Lao Zhou.

“Can’t we go with those two editors?” Old Zhou was thoughtful. When Yang Chen passed by him, a flash of realization and surprise flashed across his brows. He took a deep breath and said, “Is there something wrong with those two editors?”

Yang Chen did not explain in detail to Lao Zhou. The seeds had already been sown, and he just had to wait for them to take root and sprout.

The wall lights in the passage were never turned off. Several tourists passed by morgue No. 6 and morgue No. 7 and also did not encounter any danger. It was like the calm before the storm.

After passing the door of Morgue No. 7, the corridor became colder and the smell of formaldehyde in the air became a little stronger. Several tourists came to the junction of the outer area and the middle area of ​​the underground morgue.

In the middle of the passage was a half-demolished wall, with a large amount of debris piled up in the gap, including wooden tables and chairs, crooked fences, and several dolls with deformed and twisted body joints.

"Is this scene not over yet?" Wang Yan was wearing short sleeves, and the cold air penetrated into his clothes through the cuffs.

The entrance to the next area is very narrow and blocked by debris, making it look like an unopened area.

Huya walked to the hole in the wall, took out her cell phone and shone it inside. She originally just wanted to see what was on the other side of the wall, but when the light shone over, she suddenly saw a girl with a back that looked like Tail, holding a cell phone, and going into a passage.

"Tail? Still holding the phone? Who is she talking to?" Huya hit the wall with her palm and shouted towards the hole in the wall, but there was only her echo in the corridor.

"I think I saw a tail! Anan, come and help, move these things away!" Hu Ya grabbed the broken tables and chairs. Perhaps considering the safety of tourists, the edges of these tables and chairs were very smooth, without sharp edges, and it seemed that they were often moved.

"Let's go and help too." Old Zhou was very enthusiastic. He, Bai Qiulin and Xiao Li all walked over to help the two editors clear the way.

The three medical students stood by, and Yang Chen silently watched Hu Ya and An Nan, highly alert.

He didn't believe what Huya said and thought it was most likely a trap set in advance: "I just happened to see my missing companions when I went there. Isn't this too coincidental?"

The more Yang Chen looked at the three editors, the more suspicious they felt. The three of them entered the haunted house later and should not have signed the waiver agreement. The three of them were editors of a horror magazine and had strong psychological endurance. This identity allowed them to not deliberately act scared or timid, making it easier for them to disguise themselves.

“When I suggested following the head, it was the male editor who strongly demanded to go into the warehouse to check, which led to a series of events that happened later.”

"In that situation, Bai Qiulin had already told us in advance that there might be danger at the fork in the road, but they still insisted on going to check it out. This in itself was very abnormal."

"When the chef and his brother got into trouble in the passage outside, the three editors were all in the innermost part of the warehouse. It was as if they knew in advance that the tourists outside would be attacked and that something bad would happen, so they distanced themselves from it in advance."

"The most important thing is, there was clearly nothing in that warehouse, so how did the last of the three editors disappear?"

"There is a secret passage hidden behind the printer, but in this strange situation, any normal person would not enter the secret passage alone to explore it. He would definitely shout loudly to attract his companions to come and check together."

"That woman called Tail must have deliberately escaped through the passage behind the printer. She created the illusion that she was missing so that her teammates had an excuse to lead the way!"

"What a perfect plan. The teammate is missing and the remaining two editors are emotional, so they did something impulsive at this time, and other tourists cannot blame them."

Yang Chen’s eyes gradually brightened: “So this was something they had arranged long ago. No wonder Wei's phone couldn't be reached. It wasn't like they said that the phone was lost, but Wei was not going to answer the call from the beginning.”

There were too many suspicious points, and the actions of the three editors were too abnormal. In Yang Chen's opinion, there was only one reasonable explanation for their behavior, that is, the three editors were actually "ghosts" arranged by the owner of the haunted house!

“I should have discovered them earlier.” Yang Chen could vaguely see cold sweat dripping down his forehead: “I have never heard of the magazine The Most Horrifying. It is very likely a name that was made up casually. When I first entered the haunted house, the male editor took the initiative to agree to cooperate with me, but not long after entering, he made a different choice from me, and slowly replaced the three of us veterans, and unknowingly became the leader.”

Feeling scared for a moment, Yang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, I was careful in advance. This time, I will definitely not be so stupid as to follow them to die."

Looking over the three editors, Yang Chen clasped his hands together: "We need to find a way to expose them. This scene itself covers a large area, like a maze. It is almost impossible to enter the core area within 30 minutes, find the photos and get out while avoiding the attacks of ghosts. The owner of the haunted house will not design a scene that is completely impossible to pass, otherwise the meaning of the game itself will be lost. If you think about it this way, the key to passing this underground corpse warehouse scene and the five photos..."

Yang Chen recalled everything the haunted house owner had said: "Those five photos of the victims can help with clearing the level. How can the photos help with clearing the level? Holding the photos will prevent you from being attacked by ghosts? The haunted house owner shouldn't design such a boring game. Excluding the role of the amulet, then what is the use of these five photos?"

"Before entering the haunted house, the boss particularly emphasized the word 'victims', which means that the people in those five photos should all be dead." Yang Chen's brain was working rapidly, and he held his chin with one hand: "Five photos of dead people..."

His eyes suddenly widened, and Yang Chen's body trembled violently. A thought flashed through his mind like lightning!

"I know! The five people in those five photos are probably my five teammates! They represent five dead people! They also represent five ghosts who have sneaked into the team!"

With his mind racing, Yang Chen felt that he finally understood the real gameplay of the Underground Corpse Vault scene: "The real requirement for clearing the Underground Corpse Vault is not to leave the scene with the photos, but to find the five ghosts in the team! Those five photos are the most critical clues!"

His heart was pounding wildly, and Yang Chen became completely excited. He guessed the plan of the haunted house owner and saw through the hidden rules of the game.

“Old Yang, are you okay?” Wang Yan saw Yang Chen suddenly wave his fist and became excited. He was very worried about his mental state and wondered if he had been stimulated by something.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you pass the level this time!” Yang Chen had a smile on his face, and his eyes were staring at the two editors like sharp knives.

"Five photos of victims. It turns out that the owner of the haunted house gave us a hint at the beginning. There are actually five 'ghosts' hidden in this team."

"The six tourists behind are new visitors, which means five of them are employees of the haunted house. The owner of the haunted house is really playing big!"

Among the twelve tourists, five are ghosts! Who could have imagined this?

Yang Chen went over the remaining six tourists who had not signed the agreement in his mind: "The three editors are the most likely. I have never heard of that horror magazine. The second is the chef who suddenly fell ill and ran away, and his brother. The last one is Xiao Li."

After thinking carefully, Yang Chen felt that he had understood everything: "Xiao Li came in alone, and he is not familiar with the other people. If he is excluded, then there is only one truth."

"The three editors, Fan Dade and Fan Cong are all actors in the haunted house. Fan Dade suddenly got sick, and together with Fan Cong, he created a terrifying atmosphere, causing the real tourists to fall into panic, anxiety and self-doubt. Then the three editors worked together to control the rhythm and lead the remaining tourists into the abyss, experiencing the scare points that had been prepared long ago. It was really terrifying. This haunted house is really crazy!"

Five people correspond to five photos, representing five "ghosts"! Yang Chen has already determined the identities of the five ghosts. He put his fingers into his pocket, wanting to edit a message and secretly send it to Li Xue and Wang Yan.

"What are you three doing standing there? Come and help. Don't stay here too long. The fork in the road is the most dangerous place." Bai Qiulin saw the three medical students standing there and shouted at them.

"Let's go and help." Li Xue felt a little uncomfortable. She and Wang Yan walked over and started moving tables and chairs, slowly clearing a passage.

At this time, Wang Yan, Li Xue, Xiao Li, Bai Qiulin and the two editors were outside the passage, Lao Zhou and his wife were on the other side of the passage, and Yang Chen was standing far away in the corner. He was looking for an opportunity to expose the two editors in public.
