Chapter 1122 - ow Long Till the Free Massacre? 2 in 1 (1/2)

“Theoretically speaking, the hidden pathway of the first sub scenario should lead to the secret room with the first clue. This room should not be that big. The haunted house’s boss probably wants us to find the body parts of the rag doll inside this black fog.” The middle-aged woman analyzed the situation based on her own experience of designing her haunted house.

“Then we’d better start looking. Be careful not to wander too far away from each other. There might be haunted house actors hiding inside the black fog.” The three stayed together as they moved forward. They walked for a full two minutes before they saw any trace of a wall. Their expressions started to change. “This does not appear to be a hidden room at all…”

“This place is too big. Have we arrived at a new scenario? But how come we have not encountered a single actor? What is the philosophy behind his haunted house design? I find myself failing to understand his thought process more and more.”

“How about we retrace our steps? I think we should regroup with the others.”

“Okay.” They all stopped moving. The three haunted house designers turned back to look, and they suddenly discovered something very scary. “Was this the direction that we came from?”

The ground under their feet had no discerning features. They were surrounded by black fog, and there was no object of reference—it was impossible to tell where they were in relation to everything else.

“Wait a minute, aren’t we supposed to have another member in our team? When did that kid disappear?” The longer one stayed inside the black fog, the greater the fear inside one’s heart would be amplified. The three haunted house designers’ hearts had started to shake like a leaf. At that moment, they heard a woman’s painful and despairing scream. Nudging their feet slowly toward the scream, they switched on the flashlight function on their phones.

The light was distorted by the black fog. They could see a woman who was covered in bandages not far away. Surrounded by a thick shroud of black fog, the woman appeared to be ingesting the black fog around her like some kind self-mutilating torture. As the fog rushed into her body, it tore open one wound after another on her body before it proceeded to leak out from her wounds again. The woman appeared to be searching for something inside the black fog. She used her own body as a vessel, and the filtering process was incredibly harsh and painful.

The black fog was being pulled toward her. As she continued to consume the black fog, black and red tattoos slowly started to surface on her body under the bandage. The tattoos were like a second layer of skin. They wrapped around her body. From afar, the woman radiated a kind of extremely grotesque beauty, but when one looked closer at the scenes that were depicted by the tattoos on her skin, everyone’s heart would be gripped by fear. The black threads severed the woman’s skin like knives. Blood mixed together with the black threads reconstructed a child’s regrettable and painful life—his encounter with many heartless characters and surviving inhuman pain and torture. Inside the deepest and darkest despair, a flower of sin was blooming!

The light from the flashlights hit the woman. The three haunted house designers saw the woman’s wounded body under the bandages, and their heads went numb.

Liang San stared at the woman’s bizarre posture, and he turned to whisper softly to his older brother, “What is that thing? That does not look like an actor! Is that a mannequin?”

“At first glance, she seems like an absolute beauty, but upon closer inspection, you will realize how disgusting everything is…” Just as he uttered the term ‘disgusting’, Liang Er saw the woman’s head slowly turn around. A pair of eyes dominated by curses and malice had landed on him. Liang Er lost control of his body immediately. Every piece of fatty flesh on his body was shaking.

The click and clack of high heel against the ground echoed through the space. Countless faces inside the world of the black fog started to wail. The strange smiling human heads that were formed from the curses rushed out from the rooftops. There was also a centipede-like creature strung together with human heads crawling rapidly on the wall. They rushed toward the three haunted house designers with evil intentions.

Moments earlier, they had been complaining about the lack of haunted house actors, but just a few seconds later, everything had changed. Liang Er and Liang San had no idea where these things had come from. Their faces blanched, and their natural instinct propelled them to retreat. More and more monsters appeared. They had not even dared to imagine these monsters in their worst nightmare; they had already broken through their understanding of fear.

“Run! Quick! Run!” The middle-aged woman was the first to react. She turned and started to race down the street. As she picked up her pace, the monsters rushed at her like a wave.

There were so many of them!

Liang San also started to turn back and run, but he had only taken a few steps when he heard a harrowing scream coming from behind him. He realized that his big brother was still standing where he was.

“I cannot move!” Liang Er had no idea what had happened to his body. Ever since he said the word ‘disgusting’, he realized that his heartbeat had started to go haywire. It was as if his body did not belong to him anymore.

Liang San hesitated for a moment. In the end, he stayed because blood was thicker than water. He turned around to grab Liang Er by his arm. “Bro! I will carry you!”

Before he finished, he saw the black threads hidden inside the fog crawl into Liang Er’s body, and they had started to spread toward his own body!

Liang San was so shocked that he immediately let go of Liang Er. The folds of fat on his face were trembling from fear. The eyes that were hidden inside the fleshy face had not been so wide in his life. “What are these things?”

Flinging his brother’s arm away, Liang San staggered backward and started to run. “Big brother! I will go and get people to come help you! Hang in there!”

Liang San could not care about what was happening behind him anymore. He chose a direction and started to run like his life depended on it. There was no object of reference in the black fog, so he had no idea where he was at all. He was surrounded by monsters, so he did not to even stop for a second to take a break.

“Liang San, Liang San…” After who knew how long, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the fog.

“Big brother?”

“Yes, it is me! Quick, come over here! The exit is this way!” The voice was leading Liang San in a certain direction. The shadow of a fetus flickered in the black fog. Liang San wanted to stay away from that shadow, but he realized that his own brother’s voice was coming from the location where the shadow was. He then noticed the anomaly about this situation. He wanted to turn around and run the other way, but the moment he did so, the fetus started to madly chase after him!

“Liang San, where are you going? It’s me, your older brother!”

“Stay away, do not come close to me!” Liang San’s confidence when he first entered the haunted house had completely shattered. His mental stability was shattered the moment he abandoned Liang Er to leave on his own.

“I really am your big brother! Have you forgotten about me? When we were playing hide and seek when we were young, you were hiding under the bed. Someone was whispering in your ears, accompanying you. Do you still remember, one night, when you snuck out to go to the internet café, there was a big dog that kept barking at you? Since then, you’ve had a fear of dogs. Actually, that dog was not barking at you. It was because it had seen me!

“I am your big brother, the eldest brother that you will never shake off, Liang Yi!

“I died in front of you, but I have never left! We will be brothers forever!”

The fetus’ shadow crawled swiftly on the ground, and it was only a matter of time it caught up to Liang San. It crawled up Liang San’s body and strangled the man’s neck. The face that was bloody and ghastly was hanging from Liang San’s head as it stared into the man’s eyes. “Look closely! Look! See how similar we look!”

“Ah! Argh!” Liang San shook his head wildly like he had lost his mind. The darkest fear in his heart was recreated through the curse. It did not take long for the man to crumple in a heap with white foam coming out of his mouth.

The sound of high heels echoed on the ground. The scary fetus morphed back into a curse and disappeared among the black fog.

The screaming was endless. The middle-aged woman stumbled her way through the world of the black fog. Most of the monsters had been distracted by Liang Er and Liang San. Furthermore, she was the first to run, so she had made quite a headway in her escape.

“How did the boss manage to come up with all these props? What is going on inside this haunted house?” The middle-aged woman had lost her composure. All she knew was that she needed to run. After running for ten minutes, a wall suddenly appeared before her. “Was that the path that we used to get here?”

She followed the wall and continued to search until finally she found the black iron door. “The door is not locked! I am so lucky!”
