Chapter 963 Spider and Butterfly



Although this old Japanese house has only a few rooms, it feels like a maze. Some rooms are interconnected and appear to be separated by partitions, but in fact, the partitions are wooden doors that can be pushed and pulled.

The layout of the entire room was very strange. The five bedrooms corresponded to the five internal organs of the human body. Chen Ge also found fragments of scriptures in each bedroom.

Although the overall architecture is of Japanese style, the fragments are written in traditional Chinese characters, most of which are rare characters. Chen Ge only recognized gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

"Five bedrooms, five internal organs of the human body, five elements..." The sound of wind chimes rang in his ears, and Chen Ge looked back. He had always been curious about where the sound of wind chimes came from. This was the second time he heard this sound.

"Have you noticed that this house looks like a person lying on the ground?" The policeman's attitude towards Chen Ge is very good now. He follows Chen Ge like a follower, and runs wherever Chen Ge goes.

"people?"

"Yes, the room we entered is the human head, the rooms on the left and right are the human arms, the rooms below are the human legs, and the corridor in the middle is the human body. The shrine is at the end of the corridor, and it looks like it is being stepped on by someone." The police's words gave Chen Ge some inspiration.

"If the whole building is compared to a person, then this architectural layout is like a living person suppressing the shrine."

"A person stepped on the god?" A gleam of light flashed in the policeman's eyes, and he shouted at Chen Ge: "I understand! A person stepped on the god! That's why a pair of red high heels appeared in the shrine!"

The first half of the whole reasoning was fine, but it went completely off track later. Chen Ge wanted to remind the other party, but the policeman was very excited and loudly shared his discovery with other tourists.

While other tourists were discussing enthusiastically, Chen Ge stood quietly in the corridor: "The theme of this room is curse. Curse can also be a cycle, starting from the malice of the first person. If you want to pass the level, you must first figure out what happened here."

"I found a DV in the first bedroom. It recorded seven young people staying overnight at the old house. The DV didn't say what happened to those seven people, but the probability of their survival was basically zero. That's seven lives."

"In the second bedroom was a pile of clothes, all covered in mud, as if they had just been taken out of a quagmire. Compared to what the owner of the house had said in the first compartment, the owner's parents had been killed in a mudslide, and the entire family was buried outside. The clothes they were wearing when they died must have been covered in mud and water."

"So, the clothes piled in the second bedroom are likely to belong to the owner's parents. As for the reason for their car accident, it is likely related to the shrine."

Chen Ge stroked his chin and quietly sorted out the clues in his mind: "According to the owner of the house, it was raining heavily outside on the day her parents got into trouble. The roads in this small mountain village are difficult to walk on. Judging from the villagers' reactions, natural disasters such as mudslides should often occur around. The owner of the house is a local resident and is naturally very aware of these things, so why did they insist on leaving?"

The answer is self-evident. Chen Ge turned back to look at the shrine: "They may have opened the shrine. Even if they didn't, they must have discovered something very dangerous, so they had to leave! But they didn't expect that even if they left the old house, they still couldn't escape the shadow of death. This should be the power of the curse."

"Then came the third bedroom, where I found an overturned altar table with a black-and-white photo of an old man on it. The weird thing was that the old man in the photo was facing away from the camera, so his face couldn't be seen. In addition, I also saw a lot of children's toys in the third bedroom, and those toys were hidden under the altar table."

"The items in the third compartment reminded me of the story the man in the DV told. On the day the old man was buried, the grandson opened the shrine and disappeared. If the grandson is also dead, then this is another two lives lost."

"There is one thing in common in these cases, which is that the parties involved may have opened the shrine."

The first three bedrooms were filled with the deceased's belongings, but the situation changed starting from the fourth bedroom.

"I found traces of a fire in the fourth bedroom. The walls of that bedroom were blackened and everything in the room was burned. Who burned that room? And why did they burn everything in the bedroom?"

Unable to figure it out, Chen Ge temporarily skipped the question: "Not considering the fourth bedroom, the fifth bedroom is also very strange. This room should be a woman's room. There are mirrors on the wall, and the closet is filled with all kinds of beautiful traditional clothes and some boxes for makeup. The owner of the room should be a young woman, but why is there a black and white photo of an old lady on the other side of the room?"

"The fifth bedroom creates a sense of disconnection. What's even more bizarre is that the black-and-white photo of the old lady faces the room, giving the impression that she is smiling at the new clothes in the room."

"The black-and-white photo of the grandfather in the third bedroom was taken with his back to the camera, while the black-and-white photo of the old lady was taken facing the camera. Why is that? What on earth happened to this family?"

Chen Ge was thinking when the child's voice suddenly appeared again: "A butterfly will feel pain if it loses its wings, but why do they tear off its wings?"

This ethereal voice suddenly appeared, startling Chen Ge: "Maybe it's because they are jealous of the beauty of butterflies. Some ugly people like to destroy things that are more beautiful than themselves, as if this will make them more beautiful."

"Ugly person? Grandma is not an ugly person..." The child seemed to be muttering to himself.

"Grandma? She ripped the wings off the butterfly?"

"Yeah." The child seemed a little unhappy.

"You must be lonely here alone, right? Can I be your friend?" Chen Ge tried to speak slower.

"I'm with grandpa, and he doesn't let me run around. He's afraid grandma will know I exist, so he always makes me hide in my room." There was a hint of innocence in the child's voice, he was like a blank sheet of paper.

"So the scariest person in this house is grandma?" Chen Ge raised his hand slowly. He wanted to confirm one thing.

I felt a chill at my fingertips and realized that there was indeed something standing next to me. It was not a projection!

"Can you take me to meet your grandfather?" Before Chen Ge could wait for the child to reply, he heard the sound of wind chimes again. This was the third time the wind chimes sounded.

"Grandma is here, I should go back." The boy's voice gradually became smaller. Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to look behind him and found a child of four or five years old running into the third bedroom.

Just as he was about to chase after it, he suddenly felt the wooden partitions on both sides of the corridor shaking, and a giant spider larger than an adult crawled out of the room covered with talismans.

Screams were heard everywhere, and the spider was crawling rapidly on the walls and ceiling. Her arms were like those of a human, and she had a withered human head.

"Projection?" The monster was so realistic that even Chen Ge felt his scalp tingling. "It's worthy of being a hell-level difficulty. This thing is not only terrifying, but also can bring people physical discomfort."

The spider seemed to have identified Chen Ge and crawled towards him quickly.

When Chen Ge saw that the situation was not good, he led Spider to quickly meet up with the other teammates.
