This old house is quite old. The floor is paved with mottled stones, and the walls are made of blue bricks with yellow talisman paper stuffed in the gaps between the bricks.
The house is very ordinary, nothing special about it, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable looking at it, probably because of the talisman papers.
Pushing open the vermilion door, a strong musty smell wafted out from the courtyard wall, yellowed paper money was scattered on the ground, white upside-down blessing characters were pasted on the pillars, and the roof was hung with paper figurines.
Going further in, you will enter the main hall. In the center of the hall stands a bronze mirror with sacrificial texts written on the mirror. In front of the mirror are the heads of pigs, sheep, and cows, as well as a bronze incense burner with three broken incense sticks inserted in it.
"Are the heads of pigs, sheep and cows real?"
Before he even got close, Chen Ge smelled the strange odor coming from the offerings. The offerings had already gone bad, but Paradise didn't seem to have any intention of replacing them.
“I didn’t expect that I could see such a traditional scene in the virtual Future Park.”
Avoiding the bronze mirror, Chen Ge looked around. There were twenty-four pictures of evil spirits hanging on the walls of the main hall. The evil spirits in each picture were missing a part of their body, some were missing an eye, and some were missing a leg.
"Why are all the evil spirits incomplete? Are they afraid that if the painting is completed, the evil spirits will run out of it?"
The paintings on the wall look very old and don't seem to be fakes.
Chen Ge walked to the evil ghost portrait and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it felt. "It's very similar to the evil ghost that Doctor Gao carved on the door of my haunted house. When Chang Wenyu wanted to destroy the door of the Psychic Ghost School, a similar evil ghost picture was also branded on her back. The only difference is that the evil ghost pictures that Doctor Gao and Chang Wenyu took out were complete, while the evil ghost pictures here are all incomplete and have lost their charm."
Holding up the head of the headless female ghost, Chen Ge asked her if she could sense anything from the painting. The headless female ghost looked at it for a long time, even touching the scroll with blood, but did not find anything unusual.
"The whole old house is filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere. I don't recognize many of the words on the memorial, but they don't give me the feeling that they are praying for peace."
Chen Ge wanted to study it for a while longer, but he heard the sound of something being knocked over in the side hall.
Picking up the chainsaw, Chen Ge pushed open the door to the side hall. There were bloodstains on the ground, and red-stained paper money was clinging to the ground.
As soon as Chen Ge entered the room, he felt very uncomfortable, as if his body was wrapped by something and it was difficult to breathe.
"Something's not right." He didn't move forward, but stood at the door.
After a while, he vaguely heard the voice of the man with glasses.
"Hurry up, that guy might be coming soon."
"I know, the point is that I don't seem to have the key to this door."
"Didn't you say you could open all the doors inside the scenes?" The man with glasses twisted his throat, seeming to be very anxious, but he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Before we came in, I memorized all the information about the scenes, but I have no impression of this scene at all! Really, I regretted it the moment I came in. I have no information related to this scene in my mind at all." The youngest boy's voice trembled.
“Is there no record of this scene?”
"Yes, you just asked me to open the door. I don't even have the corresponding key. How can I open it for you?"
"That's impossible! Did someone miss some information?"
"Do you think there will be any problems with the information that Bai Buhui personally gave me the day before he went to the Western Suburbs Haunted House?"
"With Team Leader Bai's personality, he will definitely not make mistakes." The man with glasses was a little confused: "Then what do you think is the reason?"
"When our haunted house was first built, some scenes were designed by Qingming and Director Jiang Jiu. This scene might have been added by them secretly." The youngest boy whispered, "Director Jiang Jiu is very secretive. He probably knew that our haunted house would be haunted one day, and now he has set us up."
"Jiang Jiu? I remember now. I heard that Virtual Future Park didn't originally plan to build a haunted house. It was him who insisted on doing so, and finally the higher-ups agreed."
"Yes, that's him. This guy has done a lot of harm to others."
The two men were talking in low voices, and their voices came from outside the side hall.
"They don't have the key to this scene? The courtyard scene is not in the haunted house records?" Chen Ge did not chase after them directly. He had a ghost ear. In addition to the voices of the two "tourists", he could also hear Xu Yin's voice and the sound of ancient music.
"Xu Yin doesn't like to talk much. The fact that he can speak means that he has met a strong opponent." Chen Ge could hardly imagine that he was in an open theme park now. There was a lot of noise outside and tens of thousands of tourists were still visiting and having fun. Under such circumstances, he could actually meet a red-clothed man who could rival Xu Yin.
"Two tourists are trapped in the courtyard. Xu Yin and the girl in red costume should be outside the courtyard wall." Chen Ge couldn't help but sigh: "Those two tourists are really lucky. If they had the key, they might see the three people in red costume fighting each other. At that time, it would not be just a simple stimulation. I'm afraid their worldview would be directly overturned."
Through the conversation between the two tourists, Chen Ge knew that this was the scene he was looking for, and he no longer needed a tour guide.
After the two smelly red-clothed men arrived, Chen Ge, accompanied by two red-clothed men, pushed open the door of the side hall.
At this moment, the man with glasses was squatting by the wall, with the youngest boy stepping on his shoulders. He seemed to be preparing to climb over the gap between the wall and the roof.
The two of them maintained this posture and saw Chen Ge coming in, and then they saw the headless female ghost and the fat and smelly one.
"Bang!"
The man with glasses threw the young boy off. Chen Ge ignored them and raised the big saw to smash the locked wooden door of the courtyard. He gave people the feeling that he was being chased too.
The gate opened and Chen Ge ran out. The man with glasses and the young boy lay on the ground, staring silently at the two men in red.
Chen Ge ignored the screams behind him. After he ran out of the yard, he immediately placed the chainsaw across his body and stood with his back against the wall.
After making sure that he would not be attacked, Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to observe his surroundings.
The woman in red costume was besieged by Xu Yin and the red high heels. She was breathing weakly and was already at a disadvantage. She refused to dodge when faced with attacks and had to fight head-on every time.
"She seems to be guarding something?"
Changing the angle, Chen Ge discovered that there was a shrine behind the red-clothed costume. The appearance of this shrine was exactly the same as the shrine in the Cursed House, the only difference was that there was a headless clay statue in the shrine.
The clay statue was covered in black and red blood, and most importantly, the words "Chen Ge" were written on it.
"Why is my name there?!"
Before Chen Ge recovered from his surprise, his heart suddenly began to beat violently. The outline of the shadow behind him slowly changed. There seemed to be a voice in the depths of his consciousness telling him to approach the shrine and take away the clay statue.
