Chapter 967 - Sacrificial Teammates (2/2)

“The scrolls aside, based on what you said, someone is bound to be in the hidden room alone. Isn’t that a bit unfair to that person?”

“It’s more than unfair; it’s cruel.” Chen Ge smiled. “So, I suggest the person going into the hidden room can have one more scroll.”

“I can’t make this decision. We’d better get everyone to discuss this.” The police officer pushed open the door a sliver. The big spider had disappeared.

“Everyone, come out now. We don’t have much time!” Chen Ge shouted. “The key timing here is the windchime. When the windchime rings, the scenario will change. When the spider appeared, it was the third time that the windchime rang. When the windchime rings next, the ghost from the altar might come out.”

Chen Ge and the police officer shared the solution with the rest. Everyone felt it was rather preposterous, but there was no better idea. Staying there and doing nothing would only make things worse.

“We agree with you, but who is willing to stay inside the talisman room?” The man with glasses was brave when he was with the rest, but when he was left alone, he too would be afraid. “If you are willing to volunteer, we…”

“I’ll be in that room then.” Chen Ge took two scrolls. “I’m here to clear the scenario. I don’t want anyone to hold me back.”

“You’re still thinking about that?” The man shook his head. He felt like Chen Ge was dreaming. “We have no problem with you staying in that room, but you cannot take two scrolls. There’s a limited number of scrolls, and you wish to take two? What about the rest of us?”

“Fine, I’ll take one.” Chen Ge placed the scroll on the ground. Throughout this process, not one ‘visitor’ argued for his safety. The visitors got their assignment. The police officer would stay in the living room, and the woman with the long hair would stay in the bedroom next to the hidden room. After everyone got into position, the windchime rang again.

“Xu Yin.” Chen Ge stood in the middle of the talisman-filled room. He contacted Xu Yin immediately, but he did not summon Xu Yin to stand beside him. He was waiting for a chance.

“A Red Specter can move about freely. Where will the maid go?” Chen Ge smiled as he talked to himself. “Opening the altar triggers the curse. I’ve helped you separate all who have triggered your curse. Can you resist and not do anything?”

When he first entered this hidden room, Chen Ge realized that there were no cameras, so he did not hold back. Actually, when he found out that the Specter inside the altar could fight against the red high heels, he was determined to find her. A normal Specter was different from a Red Specter. Even if he could not bring her back to the Haunted House, consuming her would highly increase Xu Yin and the headless woman’s power.

The spider projection brushed past Chen Ge through its fixed trajectory. It crawled out the closet, and a scream came from outside. Then, the scenario returned to normal. Just as the visitors recovered from the visit by the big spider, a scent of blood permeated the air.

“She’s here!”

Chen Ge grabbed the closet door, and he heard a wailing song sang by a woman coming from the corridor.
