Chapter 1124 - Dont Blame Your Brother for Saving Himself First 2 in 1 (1/2)
“Some of them are predesigned by the studio, but some of them were not.”
“Like the time you were so traumatized that you were sent to the hospital?”
Fu Bole was very interested in the incident involving Qin Guang, but Qin Guang obviously did not want to remember anything about it. He directly ignored what Fu Bole said and changed the subject. “I just saw a plastic ball that moved on its own in the side hall. This place appears to be occupied by a few children that we cannot see with our naked eyes.”
“Now that shows how ignorant you are.” Fu Bole shook his head. “I know you are a popular livestream host who is highly valued by Director Ma. Initially, I thought you would be a valuable asset to the team, but after what we have been through, I realize perhaps I was mistaken. Just standing here, I can come up with at least six methods to make a ball move on its own. It is nothing that surprising. Sometimes, we will even use the same technology on mannequins’ heads to make the heads roll on their own. It will look more impactful visually to the visitors.”
“You mean just like that?” Qin Guang pointed behind Fu Bole.
“What?” Fu Bole and Wei Chaochao turned their heads back at the same time. They saw that the man in the picture on the shrine table, which was originally facing away from them, had changed his pose. The old man in the black and white picture had turned around!
“Isn’t this the old man who was talking to us earlier?” Wei Chaochao was rather shocked.
“The man has half of his leg inside the coffin already, and the boss still has the heart to photoshop him into a black and white photo. Isn’t he afraid that this thing might come true one day? The boss is really one f*cking heartless b*stard.” Fu Bole also did not expect the person in the picture to suddenly turn around. All the curse words were to cover up the fear in his heart. He had no idea how the boss managed to do something like this. At that moment, he was truly spooked.
“The old man’s black and white picture is placed on the shrine table. That means that he has been dead for quite some time already, so the information that he gave us might be misleading.”
“When we first arrived here, I saw many holes that were dug up in the front yard. The holes are too big for trees or vegetation, and they are too small for adult graves. Do you think it is possible that they are to bury children?”
“That is possible. This orphanage is definitely not as simple as it appears. It has to be the most crucial location of the entire ghost fetus scenario… Orphanage, dead guardian, mass grave, this place might be where the ghost fetus is born!” Wei Chaochao and Fu Bole were so engaged in their discussion that they did not realize that Qin Guang had kept his gaze fixed on the space underneath the shrine table.
“Just now, a boy’s head poked out from behind the shrine table, but the boy’s body could not be seen under the table. It felt like the boy crawled right out from the black and white picture himself.”
“Where is he?”
“He was standing right next to the shrine table, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.”
The three stared closely at the shrine table. At that moment, the whole scenario started to change again. Blood started to seep down from the gap in the ceiling. Blood slid down the walls and edged along the frame of the black and white picture before dropping onto the table.
“What is going on? Is it because we have uncovered the truth that we have triggered some kind of trap inside the haunted house?” Fu Bole, Wei Chaochao, and Qin Guang looked around. When they recovered from the shock of the supernatural events that happened around them, something else that shocked them deeply happened. The old man in the black and white picture had disappeared. All that was left inside the picture was an empty chair and a cigarette holder that had fallen to the ground. It gave the feeling that the old man had left in a hurry like he was running for his life.
“Have you guys played the game ‘What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf?’ before? In essence, one person is supposed to stand at a fixed place, and whenever he turns around, the people behind him will get closer to him. From facing away from us to turning around and then running out of the picture itself, the boss of the haunted house is playing psychological tricks on us!” Wei Chaochao tried his best to analyze the situation as scientifically as he could, but before he could finish the rest of his sentence, a drop of blood landed on his forehead. “It is incredibly sticky, and it smells like copper. This fake blood is incredibly well made.”
Wei Chaochao used his hand to swipe at the blood on his face. He realized that this droplet of blood was actually made up of countless smaller blood droplets, and each of them was twitching in his grasp.
“You have got to be kidding me. They spray red paint directly from the ceiling of a haunted house. The boss of this place sure is brazen. Is he not afraid of ruining the visitors’ clothes?” Fu Bole had more to complain about, but he was quickly stopped by Wei Chaochao.
“Brother Fu, these blood droplets are very strange! When they fall on your clothes, they slide down directly, but if they fall on your skin, they will solidify almost instantly. It feels like there is a kind of force controlling them. Someone is using this rain of blood to find their prey.”
Bang!
A giant explosion came out from the street outside the orphanage. It sounded like a door was being violently kicked down. Before Wei Chaochao and Fu Bole could react, they saw a young boy wave urgently at them with desperation on his face. It was as if the boy was telling them to get away from this place as soon as possible. The little boy was still gesturing wildly when he was picked up by the old man. Then, the grandfather and grandson leaped over the orphanage wall and escaped into the night.
“The ghosts from the picture appeared again? Was the boy reaching out to us for help?” Fu Bole felt like he had stumbled across some kind of instrumental clue. He immediately called after Wei Chaochao. “Quick! Chase after them! The boy might be the ghost fetus! The old man is the ghost! We have to save the boy from the evil clutches of the old man!”
The three rushed to the entrance of the storage room, and before they stepped out, they saw Xiao Sun walking their way. If not for Xiao Sun’s swiftness of feet, they probably would have rammed directly into each other.
“Get out of the way! Do not stand in our path!” Fu Bole shouted loudly.
“What’s going on?” Xiao Sun’s heart squeezed with concern.
“We have found the boy! The most crucial character inside this ghost fetus scenario, we’ve found him!”
“What boy?”
“That boy is our hope of clearing this scenario! Do not let him get away!”
Before Xiao Sun could even comprehend what was happening, Fu Bole, Wei Chaochao, and Qin Guang had leaped out of the backdoor and run out from the White Orphanage.
“Even a newbie knows it is taboo to separate from the main team inside the haunted house. How come these people are so damn stubborn?”
Seeing the trio slowly disappear from his line of sight, Xiao Sun did not give chase after them. Instead, he turned his focus to Ma Feng. “Other people call him Director Ma in private. This man should be a big fish. I need to make use of this opportunity to try to find out what are they up to.”
Scratching his chin, Xiao Sun mimicked Chen Ge and started to narrow his eyes. “I have been living in the haunted house for several days now. This place has always been peaceful. It is like a welcoming home for ghosts and Specters, but from the moment this batch of visitors showed up, I feel like the whole atmosphere of the scenario has changed. The colleagues have gotten so agitated. Sigh, it feels like these people have not come with good intentions. There is a huge problem with this batch of visitors.”
Raising his open palm, the blood rain dropped in the middle of his palm. Xiao Sun could sense the emotion that was inherent within the blood rain. “This rain contains the emotion of fury and the intention to kill. It chills me right to my bones. It is like a knife is placed on my neck, and I could be killed at any moment. This is too scary.”
After he said that, Xiao Sun was about to move forward, but just as he wanted to do so, he realized that something was wrong. The blood rain dropped on his body, and it morphed into blood vessels and secured him in place.
Turning around with some shock, Xiao Sun was so frightened that his soul almost departed from his body. The lady in the red raincoat with her lips sewn had materialized behind him. Her thin and branch-like arms hung limply on Xiao Sun’s shoulders. The murderous intent from the Red Specter was overwhelming.
