For Chen Ge, whether he encounters a real ghost or a fake one, he is not afraid.

It can even be said that this is not a question of fear or not, but a question of expectations.

If a living actor wants to be taken away, he must concentrate and slowly lay the groundwork.

If it’s an evil ghost, there’s no need to be so troublesome. Just take it away first and then slowly deal with it after you go back.

Looking at the empty corridor, Chen Ge was about to continue walking downstairs. Perhaps it was a coincidence or someone in the background was deliberately guiding him, but a door in the corridor was pushed open at this moment.

"We found the exit! Damn! It's right behind us!" A man's voice was heard in the corridor, and it sounded familiar to Chen Ge.

After a while, a man and two women ran out of the room. They were the tourists who came in with Chen Ge.

The man's name was Li Yuan, his girlfriend's name was Xueli, and the other woman was quiet and lifeless, and Chen Ge didn't know her name either.

"Eh?! Why are you here alone?" Li Yuan also saw Chen Ge. He noticed that Chen Ge had a strange expression on his face and was standing alone in the corridor. He waved to Chen Ge enthusiastically: "Brother! There is a ghost in the corridor! Come out quickly! Don't stay there for long."

"It's okay. The ghost just passed by. It shouldn't come out now."

"That's hard to say. By the way, where are the three students with you?" Li Yuan and Xue Li were huddled together, with messy hair, looking very embarrassed.

"The four of us were chased by ghosts and got separated." Chen Ge made up an excuse.

"We heard the screams from a long distance away. I'm really sorry for asking you guys to stay behind to cover us." Li Yuan was also embarrassed. He felt that he had something to do with the three students getting separated. "Let's go together. We've already visited the art room and the music classroom. Next we're going to the abandoned warehouse. What about you?"

"I've been to the abandoned warehouse. The actor inside is feeling a little unwell. Next, I'm going to go to the bottom floor of the corridor to take a look." Chen Ge took out the photo he found under the incense burner: "I'm going to do the Thirteen Steps mission."

"Thirteen steps?" Li Yuan took the photo and took a look. "Brother, listen to my advice. You'd better not go to the corridor. Before I came here, I joined a Nightmare Academy tour group. Someone in the group said that the corridor of this haunted house might really be haunted."

"Is it really haunted?"

"It seems that when the building was not yet completed, a child came here to play and accidentally trapped himself somewhere, and then disappeared." Xueli added: "A small number of tourists have seen the child in the corridor. They said that the incense burner in the corridor is not a prop to scare tourists, but to calm the child and prevent him from running around."

"Can you tell me more about the child? For example, his life experience, whether he has any character flaws, whether he comes from a single-parent family, etc." Chen Ge asked a series of questions that Li Yuan had never considered.

"Is this... necessary to know?"

"What's the group number of your group? Can you add me in?" Chen Ge showed an expression that only a newbie would have: "I also want to communicate with them."

"Okay." Li Yuan pulled Chen Ge into the group: "Those three students are not very old, and they got separated from us again. They must be very scared now. How about we go find them first?"

"You guys go find them. I'm going to stick to my original plan." Chen Ge took the photo back and turned to leave.

"Are you really not afraid of ghosts?" The voice was a little hoarse, and it made people feel very uncomfortable. The one who said this to Chen Ge was the taciturn woman.

"Are you talking to me?" Chen Ge stopped and was a little surprised. He found that the woman was staring at the photo in his hand. To be precise, she was staring at the middle-aged man in the photo.

"kindness."

"Of course I was scared! I just didn't show it."

"If you are afraid, I advise you not to enter the corridor casually. Nightmare Academy used to have daytime and nighttime sessions, but the nighttime session was later cancelled. The main reason was that someone saw that child in the corridor." The woman shifted her gaze from the photo to Chen Ge's face: "I am not kidding. Although it is hard to believe, he does exist. Haven't you noticed that even during the day, very few staff members would walk into the corridor or go up and down the corridor?"

"From your tone, it seems like you know something?" Chen Ge shook the photo in his hand: "You have been staring at the person in the photo. Do you know him?"

"He is my father. He was the one who brought my brother to play around here more than ten years ago." The woman's words shocked not only Chen Ge, but also Li Yuan and Xue Li.

"In other words, the missing child is your biological brother?" Li Yuan grabbed Xueli's hand and took a step back. He felt his scalp tingling now. The teammate who had always been following him turned out to be the biological sister of the missing child in the ghost story.

It's hard to describe the feeling of this weird story coming into reality and being together.

It was like something that I had always listened to as a story suddenly happened to me one day.

Li Yuan and Xue Li unconsciously moved a few steps towards Chen Ge.

"Then why did you come to this haunted house? Just to visit? Aren't you afraid that seeing the things will remind you of the past and bring back bad memories?" Chen Ge didn't expect that the woman had such an identity.

The woman did not answer Chen Ge's question, but raised the corners of her lips, as if she was smiling.

"This haunted house is scary to begin with, and you two are making me even more panicked. Let's not stay here, let's go to the next scene." Li Yuan came out to smooth things over. He patted Chen Ge's arm and said, "Let's go together, don't act alone."

After knowing the woman's identity, Li Yuan and Xue Li didn't dare to visit with her. The thought of it was creepy.

"Okay, but the next scene I'm going to is the corridor. Are you sure you want to come with me?" Chen Ge put away the photos. He didn't care about what the woman said and entered the corridor again.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Xueli and Li Yuan didn't know what to say. In their opinion, Chen Ge was no longer the kind of person who would not cry until he saw the coffin, but someone who would go to the mountain of tigers even though he knew there was a tiger there.

In the end, they did not have the courage to follow Chen Ge into the corridor, and they separated again at the corridor entrance.

The darkness slowly engulfed Chen Ge's figure, and this time he walked directly to the bottom floor of the building.

If there were other people around at this time, they would see a very strange scene.

A young man, with his head down, was counting the steps and talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone.

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he would glance at the surveillance camera from time to time, as if he wanted to memorize the locations of all the surveillance cameras.
