The short figure's heart-wrenching cry finally woke his boss from his joy.
"Red Ghost?"
As the owner of a haunted house, he knew many legends about the evil ghost in red. Only those who had the deepest resentment and had suffered a lot of torture before death had the chance to become red.
Whether it is true or not, at least that is what many movies and horror stories say.
"A ghost in red appeared in my haunted house? And he's not even the haunted house actor I hired?" This is what happened, but it is very difficult to understand it thoroughly. Some things can only be experienced when you are in the situation yourself and feel what kind of despair it is.
"Xiao Zhao, don't panic. I'll call someone over right away! I don't care what he is. In my territory, you have to follow my rules. If it's a tiger, lie down. If it's a dragon, lie on it..."
The call was hung up by the short figure. He didn't have time to listen to his boss' nonsense.
In the narrow and gloomy passage, the short figure was running at full speed. It was the first time he discovered that the haunted house where he worked was so scary.
The once familiar environment has now become unfamiliar. The props and mechanisms along the way seem to be covered with a thin layer of blood. All audio playback devices seem to have malfunctioned. The rustling sound of electricity continues to sound, and it seems to be mixed with some painful wails and whispers.
A recording secretly recorded from a murder scene seemed to be playing in the background. The feeling of despair and pain was spreading throughout the entire haunted house, tormenting everyone's ears, stimulating their hearts, and keeping their spirits on the brink of collapse.
"What's going on? What on earth is going on? Why do I feel like the whole building has come alive? Why do I feel like this building is going to eat people!"
The short voice shouted desperately, he was now extremely helpless.
"You ask me, but who should I ask? I traveled thousands of miles from Hanjiang by high-speed rail to visit your haunted house, thinking that visiting a haunted house would relax me, but you ended up bringing out a real ghost for me!" Chen Ge found that the short figure was running too slowly. If he continued like this, even if Xu Yin let him go, he would still be caught up. He simply picked that person up.
"Don't move! Where is the exit of your haunted house?"
"The elevator! The elevator is the only entrance and exit! There are a few floors that can only be accessed by swiping an employee ID card, and that's the exit!"
The short voice was grabbed by Chen Ge's clothes, like a human-shaped leather bag, with his body suspended in the air, screaming.
"Got it!" Chen Ge wrote down the information and decisively rushed to the elevator in the middle of the first floor. He pressed the elevator button desperately, but the elevator just stopped at the underground floor and wouldn't go up!
"What's going on! Is the elevator out of order?"
"That's impossible! The boss is worried that something unexpected might happen in the haunted house, so the elevator is inspected and maintained every day!"
"Then tell me why it doesn't come up!" Chen Ge said impatiently, as if he was about to collapse: "Are there other employees on the underground first floor? Are they occupying the elevator?"
"No, I'm the only employee on the underground first floor. That scene is not usually used. Today it's mainly because we need to receive guests..." The short figure suddenly stopped talking here. The fear in his eyes became stronger: "Wait a minute, the elevator hasn't come up, which means someone has been pressing the elevator button on the underground first floor. Is there more than one ghost in this basement?"
The short guy was frightened by his own thoughts. He didn't need to wear makeup now, his face was white.
"If a ghost controls the elevator, then this only way to survive is no longer safe. After all, since the other party can control the elevator, it is certain that they will appear in the elevator!"
The elevator is a completely enclosed space, and the short guy couldn't imagine himself encountering a ghost in the elevator.
"So what do you think we should do now?"
"Run! Find other people! We won't be afraid if there are more people!" The short man was really panicked. He witnessed the whole process of Xu Yin's appearance with his own eyes. The extremely shocking scene lingered in his mind. He estimated that if he dreamed about it in the future, he would wake up in fright.
There was no better way. The man in red behind him was getting closer and closer, so Chen Ge had no choice but to carry his backpack and rush to the nearest scene with the short man.
I kicked the door open and heard the sound of piano playing. It was an extremely sad sound, as if something very bad had happened to the player.
"How about finding a place to hide first?" Being carried by Chen Ge, the short actor was finally able to calm down and think.
"Are you sure? In many horror movies, the supporting characters die tragically because they foolishly find a blind spot to hide in." Chen Ge has a lot of experience in dealing with being chased by ghosts.
While the two were talking, the sound of blood dripping had already appeared in their ears, and the dripping sound seemed like a death note.
It was too late to go out now, so Chen Ge hid behind the piano at the signal of the short man.
The smell of blood gradually became stronger. Chen Ge and the short actor saw a pair of blood-red shoes through the gap under the piano.
A feeling of despair was spreading, and as if sensing someone coming in, the sound of the piano playing gradually became more intense.
The lonely and sad melody floated into Xu Yin's ears. The melancholy deep in his eyes became obvious, and he turned his head to glance at the door.
There were four words written on the door: Music Classroom.
Various musical instruments were placed in the dim classroom. The most conspicuous one was the piano in the center of the room. A rope was hung above the piano seat, as if someone had stepped on the edge of the piano and hanged himself.
As the melody of the piano music changed, the rope hanging above the piano began to sway by itself, as if the dead had returned.
Blood was gushing out, and Xu Yin stopped in front of the piano. He reached out to push aside the swinging rope and sat on the chair in front of the piano.
After a moment's silence, he placed his hands on the piano keys, as if recalling the memory deeply buried in his heart.
The blood-stained fingers moved on the black and white piano keys, and a completely different melody sounded in the classroom.
Like a stream, like moonlight, like a dream that can never be grasped.
Chen Ge, hiding behind the piano, looked at Xu Yin. He felt that he still didn't know Xu Yin well enough. This special girl in red still had a lot of things hidden in her heart.
"When I have the chance in the future, I will buy a piano specifically for Xu Yin. I think he can 'express' what's in his heart through this method."
When the short actor was scared to death, Chen Ge took out his phone and searched the price of ordinary pianos. After flipping through a few pages, he put his phone away: "The pianos bought from outside may not be good. I think the piano in Nightmare Academy is pretty good."
"Shh, don't talk." The short actor held on to Chen Ge tightly. He treated Chen Ge as a companion, but he probably would never guess what his teammate was thinking.
Halfway through playing the piano, blood suddenly seeped out from under the black and white keys. If you look closely, you will find that this unusually bright "blood" is not as viscous as real blood.
Soon the keys began to move out of control and played a strange melody. Xu Yin, who was sitting next to the piano, was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a shrill cry coming from inside the piano.
