Time passed, and night enveloped the House of Horrors.
In the second half of the night, a strange sound suddenly appeared in the quiet haunted house, as if someone was sawing something.
In the staff lounge, Chen Ge slowly opened his eyes, and he glanced at his phone—it was 11:10 in the morning.
He rolled over and pressed his head with a pillow, but the weird sound kept getting into his ears.
"I'm not dreaming? What keeps ringing?"
Every prop in this haunted house was made or remodeled by Chen Ge himself. He knew very well that no prop would make a sound similar to sawing wood.
After sleeping for six or seven hours, his head was still a little awake. Chen Ge pinched his thigh, put on his pants, and took out a hammer from the toolbox and held it in his hand.
He turned on the flashlight and pushed open the door to the lounge.
The haunted house in the middle of the night is many times more terrifying than in the daytime. Chen Ge leaned against the door and did not rush out.
"It can't be a thief, only a brainless person would come to a haunted house in the middle of the night to steal things; it can't be a mouse, the sound of gnawing on the wood is very soft, very fine, not so clear." Two normal people can think of it. After choosing the option, Chen Ge began to think in an abnormal direction: "Could it be that the monster in the mirror ran out?"
Because of insufficient fabric, the mirror Chen Ge in the midnight escape scene on the third floor was not completely covered.
He stared at the dark corridor, took a few steps back, and placed the puppet left by his parents next to him before he dared to walk out the door.
The sound came from overhead, Chen Ge kept going up the stairs, and finally stopped outside the door of the midnight escape scene.
"Sure enough, it came from here, but it is not clear whether it was from the remnant soul of the victim in Ping'an Apartment or the dirty thing in the mirror." Stopping at the door, Chen Ge hesitated a little, and frankly even he himself I don't want to go into the horror scene at night.
Tortured by the sound of cutting in the room, Chen Ge clenched the handle of the hammer: "I myself have the title of the Specter's Caretaker, and I have won the kindness of the victims of the Ping An Apartment, even if I encounter the dirty in the mirror during the midnight escape scene. things, it shouldn't help me either."
He thought of the scene when the monster in the mirror stunned Heshan, just because Xu Wan suddenly appeared, causing her to fall short. From this, it can be seen that this monster is not too powerful.
"Go in and have a look. Anyway, the monster in the mirror and I are in an endless situation. The more I know about it, the more confident I will be to deal with it." Chen Ge was very calm, he knew in his heart that what he was afraid of was actually not the same. Not the monster itself, but the feeling of facing the unknown.
Opening the door of the midnight escape scene, a faint musty smell wafts in the scene, and it looks more and more like Ping'an Apartment.
The doors on both sides of the corridor were half-open and half-closed, Chen Ge raised his phone and entered with the hammer in his other hand.
The sound of cutting gradually became louder, and Chen Ge knew that he was getting closer to the truth step by step.
He walked all over the third floor, and finally stopped outside a door. He had already determined that the strange sound was coming from this room.
The door was not closed tightly, Chen Ge reached out and grabbed the door lock, the cold feeling made him instantly awake a lot.
His leg muscles tensed and he slammed the door open.
"Who's in there!"
Chen Ge rushed into the house with a hammer, and happened to see a burly black figure half-squatting in the bathroom, looking very similar to He Feng!
The shadow did not expect that someone would come in, throw away the things in his hand, turn around and jump into the mirror and disappear.
"Stop!" Chen Ge shouted and swung the hammer, but he didn't hit anything.
The bathroom was empty, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"That figure is definitely not He Feng! But why is it exactly the same height and body shape as He Feng?" Standing in front of the mirror, Chen Ge looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little awkward: "This monster is imitating He Feng. What's the real purpose of it?"
The appearance of the black shadow brought a lot of questions, but it also revealed two pieces of information to Chen Ge.
First, the monster in the mirror can move away from the mirror; second, it can become the same as the person who looks in the mirror.
"This guy is more dangerous than I thought."
The cutting sound that echoed in the haunted house finally stopped, Chen Ge crouched down and looked at the few things that the shadow had just thrown away.
On the rough concrete floor, four crooked puppets and a few sharp mirror fragments were thrown.
He held the puppet in the palm of his hand and checked it. The puppets representing his mother, elder sister and younger sister were only covered with dust and dirt on the surface, which was not a big problem.
Only the puppet, which symbolizes his father, had his neck cut in half, and there were many scratches on his body, which were seriously damaged.
"Why is only my father injured?" Chen Ge quickly thought of a reason. The puppet representing his father had helped He Feng get out of trouble and sabotaged the plan of the monster in the mirror, so the monster would take revenge on him.
"The residual thoughts of the four victims can't stop the monster in the mirror. They can only let the other side bully them. There is a huge difference in strength." Chen Ge knew nothing about the power of that world, and he could only follow limited information. Speculation: "In addition to being scary, the victim Cannian has no means of attack. The monster in the mirror is one level higher than the victim Cannian, but it runs away when it sees people. From this point of view, the monster itself is very weak in combat, and the main attack method should be At the spiritual level, for example, using the flaws in people's hearts to make people trance and hallucinations, so as to lose themselves."
Combining the encounter between Heshan and He Feng, and the scene just now, Chen Ge came to his own inference.
The monster in the mirror is very difficult to deal with, but in a head-to-head confrontation, its ability cannot be exerted, so as long as you find a way to draw it out of the mirror, everything will be easy.
"I have to plan well and try to get rid of it tonight, so that the midnight escape scene can be put into use tomorrow." Chen Ge's eyes were calm, and the monster in the mirror became more and more arrogant. Without getting rid of it, Chen Ge would sleep and eat Uneasy.
After leaving the midnight escape scene with four puppets, Chen Ge entered the tool room after locking the door.
While taking out the needle and thread to sew up the wound on the puppet's body, he thought of a countermeasure.
"That monster is very aggressive. It seems to be very interested in living people. If I want to lure it out of the mirror, the easiest way is to use a living person as bait." Chen Ge's hand was very clever, and for a few minutes Time has sutured most of the wound.
"But the crux of the problem is, after I pull it out of the mirror, how do I kill it? I heard that ghosts are afraid of salt and garlic, but if there is a real fight, if I throw these things on it, will it be too much fun? ?" After careful consideration, Chen Ge decided to log in to the spiritual forum for consultation.
