Chapter 1154 - The Last Nightmare Daily Mission 2 in 1 (2/2)

Of the three daily missions, only the last mission was written in ghastly blood-like red letters. Taking in a deep breath, Chen Ge chose the last daily mission.

“Nightmare Daily Missions are very dangerous. Are you sure you want to choose it?”

“Yes!”

“Red Specter’s Favored, you have accepted the nightmare daily mission, door—this the most difficult of all the nightmare missions. Hopefully, your luck will be as good as always.

“Door (Nightmare Difficulty): Close your eyes, cover your ears, and do not speak a word that is not your name! Starting from 1:44 am, push open all the doors in your house!

“Whenever you push open a door, you must call out your own name. There are two ways to succeed at this mission. One is to have successfully pushed open all the doors in your house, and the other is to hear your own voice echoing from the other side of the door when you shout out your name.

“Warning! You cannot reveal the information of this nightmare mission to any other individual! You cannot carry any items related to the phone or any Specter or spirits with you when conducting this nightmare mission!”

Chen Ge was silent looking at the writing on the black phone. Based on the description of the nightmare mission alone, it did not look that scary, but Chen Ge knew how difficult it would be when put into practice.

“The mission requirement is for me to push open all the doors inside the house, but it did not mention whether ‘this house’ is referring to the house that I once occupied or this House of Horrors. If it is referring to this haunted house, even if it gives me the entire night, I will not be able to open so many doors when the most crucial of my senses are blocked.”

Chen Ge stared at the words on the phone screen.

“For me, the only way to pass this mission is to hear the echo of my own voice from the other side of the door, but at the same time, the mission requirement has me block off my hearing. In that case, how am I supposed to hear any voices coming from the other side? Or is it because the voice that rings out from the other side of the door will travel directly into my heart and mind?”

Pushing open doors in your own house and then hearing your own voice coming from the other side of the door, from the description, it sounded very simple, but it carried a very unique meaning to it.

“Will I run into any danger conducting this mission inside the haunted house…” The thought just flashed across Chen Ge’s mind when it occurred to Chen Ge that not too long ago, the door inside the toilet had been pushed open, and something had escaped out from it. The thing that had escaped from behind the door was possibly still hiding in the haunted house.

“Even if he is still hiding inside the haunted house, I should not be that worried.” For the sake of security, Chen Ge tied one end of the rope around the white cat and the other end of the rope around his own waist. Leading the white cat, Chen Ge entered the prop room and found the necessary eye patch and earmuffs. When all the preparatory work was done, Chen Ge walked to the front door of the haunted house. He wanted to start from the entrance and then gradually open all the doors inside the haunted house.

“I grew up in this haunted house. For the area aboveground, I can walk through it with my eyes closed. The real difficulty will be the underground scenarios.”

Time was slowly ticking away. At 1:43 am, Chen Ge put on all the necessary accessories and started to count his heartbeat at the entrance of the haunted house. When it was 1:44 am, Chen Ge pushed open the front door of the haunted house with a powerful swing. He was unable to see or hear anything. The world around him was dark and quiet; it felt like he was the only person left in the world. The map of the haunted house was slowly being constructed in his mind. Chen Ge moved down the corridor with his eyes closed. He did not bump into anything. After all, he had taken this route basically every single day.

“All the nightmare missions have a deeper meaning behind them. They are leading me step by step closer to the truth. This mission should be no different.”

Chen Ge did not tell his other employees about the details of the mission. He could not hear any voice or see anything. Padding down the corridors of his own ‘home’, it felt like he was walking back in time to the time when his parents had just disappeared. The young man who had just lost the anchors in his life always cowered inside the corner of the haunted house’s staff breakroom. He was very afraid. He was not yet ready to deal with all these things alone. But from a time that was hard to pinpoint, the young man had started to change.

“Chen Ge?” Pushing open the door to the dressing room, Chen Ge called out his own name lightly, but there was no response. Holding onto the door, the image of him helping his employees with their makeup appeared in his mind. They were busy as they joked among each other. He had never imagined that he would be able to make so many friends in his life.

“Chen Ge?” Then he found his way to the Prop Room. After pushing open the door, there was still no response. Chen Ge slowly moved down into the darkness. The surrounding became more and more quiet and cold. The surveillance room, the staff breakroom, the changing room, Chen Ge had visited them one by one before he finally reached the toilet. He knew very well that he was standing before his haunted house’s toilet. The blood door was inside this toilet.

“Is the aim of this mission to lure me to open that door? But a blood door can only be opened at midnight, can’t it? Unless the person pushing open the door is the door-pusher himself.”

With a certain supposition in his mind, Chen Ge opened the toilet door, walked through it, and moved toward the fated cubicle. His hand landed on the door handle and slowly pushed.

“Chen Ge?” The cubicle door was pushed open. Chen Ge’s heart was beating so loudly, and he held his breath without knowing it.

One second, two seconds…

About ten seconds later, he did not hear his own voice being echoed from the other side of the door.

“It’s not here?” Retreating from the toilet, Chen Ge went to explore the scenario of Minghun and Murder at Midnight, but he still failed to find that door.

“Could it be underground?” He slowly nudged his foot forward and pulled open the iron door that led to the underground scenario and carefully stepped down the stairs. The temperature continued to drop. Chen Ge shivered involuntarily. He tugged at the rope around his waist and realized that the white cat had already struggled loose from its constraint. The other end of the rope had been dragging on the ground.

“The cat has gotten cleverer and cleverer.”

Even though Chen Ge had gone to the underground scenario many times, it did not form muscle memory. To ensure that he did not miss any doors, he could only move slowly step by step.

Darkness, loneliness, chilliness, and quietness, Chen Ge felt like he was stranded alone in this world, and all of his sensory emotions were being slowly stripped away.
