This side quest is described in the first person, and it is about a person who hid in the fifth compartment of the toilet in order to catch the red shadow that always appeared at midnight.
What happened after that was not described in detail in the mission introduction, leaving Chen Ge with ample room for imagination.
He turned off the flashlight, and was a little puzzled: "The mission said that a red shadow would appear in the toilet at midnight, but the footsteps stated that it was two people walking side by side. Could it be that in the past few years when the school was abandoned, the red shadow had sex with each other? New friends?"
The footsteps were slowly approaching the toilet on the second floor. According to the mission requirements, Chen Ge should hide in the fifth compartment of the toilet at this time, but he felt that this was too passive. Can't run.
"Maybe I should be more proactive."
Carrying a tool hammer, Chen Ge ambushed behind the bathroom door. No matter who came in, he was ready to give the other party a hammer before speaking.
Taking a breath, Chen Ge held his breath and raised the tool hammer in his hand.
The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, it seemed that two people were running side by side, and they were already very close to the bathroom on the second floor.
The waiting process was a kind of torture for Chen Ge. He didn't know what was outside, let alone what the thing was going to do. He could only eavesdrop while trying not to make any noise.
After about a few seconds, the footsteps finally stopped at the door of the toilet.
"They're coming!"
Chen Ge's hand holding the tool hammer was already sweating, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
It was windy and rainy outside the toilet, and more and more raindrops scraped into the house and wet the ground.
"Where's the person?" Chen Ge turned his head to look behind him and above the door panel. There was no such thing as a human face suddenly appearing. His patience was slowly drained away. He grabbed the door panel with one hand and prepared to go out and see for himself.
But before he could walk out from behind the door, a flash of lightning lit up the night sky. With the brief light, Chen Ge saw two shadows appearing on the toilet floor.
"There's someone at the door!"
His body froze in place, the flashlight had already been turned off, and the toilet was pitch black at this time, and nothing could be seen.
"The shadows are very short, like two children." He didn't dare to relax at all, and after waiting for a few more seconds, footsteps sounded again at the door.
It's just that, unlike what he imagined, the owner of the footsteps did not enter the toilet, but entered the corridor next to him, as if he was going to the first floor.
"Is this gone?"
Chen Ge moved slowly and looked at the toilet door, there was nothing there.
"It seems that there were two children standing at the door just now. This is a deviation from the red shadow described in the black mobile phone task. Is it because the time has elapsed for too long and there have been unknown changes, or because of my arrival in the campus, some Strange things woke up early?"
Chen Ge couldn't think of the answer, and he didn't have the heart to explore these.
Turning on the flashlight, Chen Ge walked outside the fifth compartment of the toilet. Whether it was the target of the black phone or not, he had to check it.
Pushing on the door panel, there was still nothing behind the dilapidated compartment.
"According to the current situation, the cubicle I'm looking for should be in the toilet on the third floor. The two children went to the first floor just now. Now is the perfect opportunity." Chen Ge hurriedly walked out, not yet. Walking out of the toilet, the phone suddenly vibrated, and a strange call came in.
"Whose number is this?" Chen Ge had very few friends, and he basically never contacted the few.
He hesitated for a moment, huddled in the corner, quit the live broadcast, and answered the phone: "Hello, hello."
"Are you Gao Ruxue's classmate? I heard that you met a child who behaved abnormally today and may have a mental illness?" The voice over the phone was mature and stable, giving a feeling of trustworthiness.
"Yes, you are?"
"I am her father and a lecturer at Jiujiang Medical University."
Heshan told Chen Ge before that he gave Gao Ruxue his phone number, and now it seems that the "senior sister" with her own cooling aura is quite reliable.
"Can you tell me in detail about the child's situation? Mental illness is a poisonous weed rooted in the body. If it is not removed as soon as possible, it will destroy a person's future." Gao Ruxue's father is well aware of the dangers of mental illness. In his opinion, mental illness Even more dangerous than some physical ailments.
"It's like this. There is a seven- or eight-year-old child. His physical condition is completely normal, but he looks a little autistic, unwilling to communicate with others, and afraid of the sun."
"Any other symptoms? It's better to be more specific."
"I saw this child at the entrance of the haunted house. His aunt told me that this child especially likes to play in the haunted house. In the haunted house, he has absolutely no emotions such as fear and fear that a normal person should have. Unlike in the sun, the whole People are a lot more active, and he seems to feel safe only in places where the sun can't shine." Chen Ge expressed his doubts in one go, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe there would be such a child.
"A seven or eight-year-old child who likes to play in haunted houses? And won't be afraid?"
"Yes, the kid was even curious about the haunted house actor in dead man makeup."
There was silence over the microphone for a few seconds: "If he just doesn't feel scared, it could be Ul-Vis disease, a disease that damages the amygdala in his brain."
"Sorry, I don't quite understand."
"It's very simple, the amygdala is the nerve center for the establishment of fear memory, and it is also responsible for controlling the generation of emotions such as fear and anger. If there is a problem here, people will not feel afraid even if they touch high-voltage lines, close to beasts and poisonous snakes, let alone Enter the haunted house."
What Gao Ruxue's father said made sense, but Chen Ge felt that this disease was different from Fan Yu's situation: "Mr. Gao, that child is not afraid of anything, he is afraid of the sun and hates walking in the sun. That situation is not just not afraid of haunted houses, but likes the atmosphere of haunted houses very much, he is completely different in the haunted house and outside."
Chen Ge thought about it and added: "He didn't say a word outside the haunted house, and he didn't have contact with others at all; after entering the haunted house, he became excited. If he was forcibly pulled out of the haunted house, he would still do things to others. When he attacked, I saw him gouging out his aunt's arm with my own eyes."
"Listening to your description, I feel a bit like symptoms of bipolar disorder. When mania is full of destructive desires, I lose my mind, and even hurt the people closest to me; when depressed, I feel lonely and sad, refuse to communicate, and close in on my own. In the world." Teacher Gao analyzed Chen Ge seriously: "But there is one thing I don't understand. Patients with bipolar disorder have random episodes, and if there is nothing, they will change when they enter the haunted house. I personally think that since he has It was a change in personality in the haunted house, so his cause should be related to the haunted house, was he frightened in the haunted house when he was a child? Or maybe his parents worked in the haunted house?"
After listening to Gao Ruxue's father's words, Chen Ge vaguely had a guess.
The change in the boy's character is related to the haunted house, and the biggest difference between his haunted house and the outside world is that there are really ghosts in his haunted house.
