The scene in front of him even surprised Chen Ge, the owner of the haunted house. The horror scene of Muyang Middle School was much larger than that of Midnight Escape. When he stepped into it, the gloomy atmosphere was as if something would come out of the darkness at any time, which made people feel uneasy instinctively.
"Four classrooms, corridor, toilet, office..."
Everything that was available at Muyang Middle School was also available in Chen Ge’s horror house, except that it had a completely new layout, with all the rooms gathered together.
Walking in the dark corridor, Chen Ge turned his head from time to time to look at the classrooms on both sides.
There was a thick concrete wall outside the window. There was no lock on the door, and even though there was no wind, it kept creaking.
Although the first few classrooms were weird, they were still within an acceptable range. When Chen Ge came to the last classroom at the end of the corridor, the hairs on his body stood up. It was the first time he had such a terrifying feeling in his own haunted house.
This classroom is very similar to the last classroom in Muyang Middle School, but not exactly the same.
There were densely packed words carved in red paint on each desk, and what was even more frightening was that there was a set of dark school uniforms placed on all the chairs.
The style of the school uniform was the same as the one worn by the students in the group photo at Fan Yu's house. The only difference was that in the group photo, all the students were wearing school uniforms with their backs to the camera, while in this classroom, all the students were wearing school uniforms facing Chen Ge at the door.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ge bravely entered the classroom. He stood on the podium and looked at the rows of dark school uniforms on the chairs below, which looked like rows of people standing there.
"Why are there only school uniforms in this classroom? Do these uniforms represent the regrets left here?" Chen Ge lowered his head and counted them. There were a total of twenty-four sets of school uniforms in the classroom.
"The midnight escape trial mission is completed. The midnight escape scene in the haunted house has become the new residence of Yin Xiaoxiao's family. If we speculate based on this..." Chen Ge's face looked a little ugly. The twenty-four sets of school uniforms in this classroom may represent the twenty-four souls that lingered here and were unwilling to leave.
"Not necessarily. Maybe I'm overthinking it." Chen Ge walked out of the classroom, closed the door, and continued forward.
There is a toilet at the corner at the end of the corridor. Going forward, there is the first fork. The road on the left leads to the office area, and the road on the right leads to the girls' dormitory.
Chen Ge first walked a few steps to the right. The corridor became narrower, and the rooms on both sides were close to each other. At the end of the road, there were two narrower corridors.
"It's only the first two-star scene, but it's already so complicated. If I unlock a few more horror scenes, I might really turn this underground parking lot into a terrifying maze."
He pushed open a door at random, and the layout inside was just like a crime scene.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Ge found several chairs placed together in the second-to-last dormitory, on which were placed several pieces of paper and a badly damaged ballpoint pen.
"Is this the hidden item that unlocks the reward for Muyang Middle School?" Chen Ge held the ballpoint pen that looked extremely miserable and broke into pieces as soon as he picked it up in his palm. "The hidden item must have its own special function. Wang Qi's missing person notice made me and Yin Xiaoxiao's family friends. I can use them to help me manage the midnight escape scene. Could it be that this ballpoint pen is the key to solving the problem of those students in the last classroom?"
Chen Ge was puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he took the pen and walked out of the Muyang Middle School scene, and used transparent tape to stick the ballpoint pen back together.
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, I know you have a grudge against me, and I have fixed your pen for you now. If you forgive me, please circle it on the paper."
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, you are my past life, and I am your present life. Are you there? I have something to ask you in your present life..."
If Chen Ge wanted to deal with the students in that classroom, asking the Pen Fairy was the easiest way. Unfortunately, no matter how Chen Ge called out, the Pen Fairy did not respond.
"Is it that serious? I'm also a victim, okay?"
Chen Ge put the ballpoint pen that had been taped back into the girls' dormitory, then walked around again before returning to the first floor.
"Although the twenty-four school uniforms in the last classroom are scary, the visual impact is not strong enough. When I have time, I will modify the puppet models for the night when the zombies are resurrected, put school uniforms on them and throw them into the classroom. This should be more terrifying." Chen Ge covered the wooden board and was about to go back to the house to sleep when his cell phone rang again.
He looked down and unexpectedly it was Captain Li calling.
"Uncle Sanbao? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Chen Ge came back with the police on duty this time. At that time, Captain Li was still at Muyang Middle School and seemed to be discussing something with the people from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team.
"If you are not too busy now, can you come to the city police station? The murderer of the corpse in the well case wants to see you."
"Meet me?" Chen Ge felt puzzled, but for Captain Li's sake, he agreed: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After taking a taxi to the city police station, a familiar-looking policeman led Chen Ge into the interrogation room.
Fan Yu's aunt was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room with handcuffs on her hands.
"The body is still being examined. The prisoner is emotionally unstable and refuses to confess anything. He just wants to see you, so I asked Captain Li to call you." A middle-aged policeman in the interrogation room stood up and shook hands with Chen Ge: "Thank you for your help."
"It's okay." Chen Ge walked up to Aunt Fan Yu. She seemed to have become much more haggard in just one night. She lowered her head and her hair covered her face.
Sensing someone coming, Aunt Fan Yu's empty eyes focused and she looked at Chen Ge with a complicated look.
"Are you looking for me?" Before Chen Ge could get close, he was stopped by the police on the scene and asked to keep a safe distance.
Aunt Fan Yu nodded gently. She paused for a long time and said something that Chen Ge had never expected: "Do you still have the painting I gave you in the toilet on the third floor?"
If she hadn't said it, Chen Ge would have forgotten about it. He took out the painting that he had placed next to him and placed it in front of Aunt Fan Yu.
Looking at Fan Yu's weird paintings, Fan Yu's aunt was not afraid but felt very close to him. After her children and husband died unexpectedly, Fan Yu used such paintings to help her get out of her collapse and despair.
After a long silence, Aunt Fan Yu finally spoke: "I raised Fan Yu for three years, but the first person to appear in his painting is you. Is this fair?"
"Things are different from what you think. Maybe Fan Yu thinks I am one of the same kind." Chen Ge pointed to his eyes: "We can see the same thing."
"Really?" Fan Yu's aunt lowered her head again. The interrogation room was very quiet.
"You called me here just to ask this?" Chen Ge folded the painting and put it away.
After more than ten minutes, Fan Yu's aunt finally calmed down. She seemed to have made a decision and whispered, "I am Fan Yu's only relative, and now I have to leave him. That child has a weird personality and doesn't have any friends. I don't expect you to take care of him in the future, but I only ask that you go see him when you have time, talk to him, and don't let him be bullied by other children."
