Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 196 Three People
Almost instantly, Chen Ge's mind tightened. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ran to the door, pressed himself against the wall, gripped the doorknob, and various countermeasures flashed through his mind.
He wouldn't sit idly by and wait for death. Even without the help of various ghosts, without his trusty Head-Shattering Hammer, he wouldn't give up hope.
"You… you all be careful!"
Pressed against the door, Chen Ge heard several hurried voices beside him. They were trying to suppress their volume, but in this dark, silent environment, the sounds were amplified infinitely.
"Boss… Boss, can we… can we escape?" Another trembling voice came, with no pretense whatsoever.
"Don't ask me!" A soft shout rang out, but it lacked confidence and also carried a tremor. "Damn it, what the hell is this hidden map?"
"Hidden map?" Chen Ge noticed the description in their words. This way of speaking was more like referring to a game map.
"Boss, we can't see anything right now, and there's that strange laughter outside. What do we do?" Another voice rang out, his tone also very anxious, providing Chen Ge with more clues.
Strange laughter… He remembered the soft laughter he had heard on the ground, like a little girl, but it was likely different from what they heard.
Moreover, he couldn't be sure what exactly was outside. Were the "three people" outside really people?
In this absolute darkness, he had to remain calm. Without confirming the other party's identity, he absolutely couldn't reveal himself, otherwise it would likely be a dead end.
"First… first wait, see if there's anything for lighting here." The "boss" spoke again. "Da Yu, you search on the left. I'll search on the right. As for Brother Shen… you do whatever."
Chen Ge detected a different meaning. This "boss" seemed helpless towards that "Brother Shen".
"Ah… then…" "Brother Shen" called out again, a little hesitant. "Then I'll block the door, in case someone comes in."
The boss and Da Yu didn't answer. Chen Ge couldn't judge whether what they said was true or false, only faintly hearing the sound of footsteps moving.
"They're getting closer!" Chen Ge's mind was on alert. Behind him lay a headless corpse, and just one door away, there were three unknown "people".
"Bo… Boss, this place… it's like a two-bedroom apartment!" Hastened breathing accompanied Da Yu's very low voice. They seemed to have noticed the abnormality as well. They were clearly underground in the amusement park, yet there was a residential apartment!
"I… I know!"
As the voice came, Chen Ge tensed up. The "boss"'s voice was very close to him. Although there was fear in the voice, Chen Ge's mind became even more focused, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"Click…"
Chen Ge heard the sound and had already prepared to take action. The other party's hand was already on the bedroom doorknob.
"Bo… Boss!"
"What's wrong?!"
The "boss" outside seemed to have gotten a big fright as well. He was just about to open the door in front of him when a shout suddenly came from the other side.
"Lau… laughter, it's outside!!!"
"Brother Shen"'s voice trembled. Besides that, Chen Ge also heard the laughter he mentioned.
It didn't sound like one person's laughter, but rather a mixture of a group of people's laughter. More accurately, it was like a mix of children's voices, but it was clearly laughter, yet it made one's scalp tingle.
"Creak…"
Chen Ge suddenly felt a chill. A coldness instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. On the bed behind him, there was actually a sound!
The headless corpse, after hearing the laughter outside, also responded and climbed up from the bed.
In that instant, the laughter outside grew even louder, and even knocking sounds began. Those children's laughter seemed to have been stripped of emotion, cold and heartless, full of weirdness.
Inside the room was a corpse getting up, and outside the room were three unknown "people". Outside the house, there was also a mixed laughter. Chen Ge was surrounded inside, in what could be called an unsolvable situation!
"Wh… what to do?!"
"There's movement in this room too!"
"There's another room here!!"
"Fight it out!"
Almost at the same time, the four "people" in the room made a decision. Chen Ge, with the determination of waking up from a nightmare, flung open the door.
"Ah!!"
The "boss" outside was startled and screamed. The door in front of him suddenly opened, and a great force abruptly pushed him away, then rushed toward the other room at an extremely fast speed.
Bang!
The "boss" crashed into the wall behind him. The force was very strong, like a suicide soldier, rushing out of the room with the determination to die.
But he didn't have time to think much, because sounds came again from the room beside him, like a person dragging his body forward with difficulty.
Ignoring his aching body, he staggered and ran towards Da Yu's direction.
In the darkness, in this narrow house, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" came from time to time. Da Yu, who was closest, had already opened the door and slipped inside. After him, Chen Ge arrived second. Without thinking, he also slipped inside.
With this step, a little light appeared in the endless darkness, and even the laughter and footsteps behind him disappeared. Without thinking, Chen Ge immediately moved away from the door.
But when he looked back, in the room on the other side of the door, two figures were staggering as they ran.
But what was terrifying was that behind one of the men in a suit and leather shoes was a headless figure with blood all over his body. The figure was almost sticking to him!
And on the other side was a man in a hospital gown, with a very ordinary appearance. But what made Chen Ge gasp was that there were dozens of "children" hanging on his body. They each opened their mouths wide, as if they were laughing, but as if they wanted to swallow the man!
"Ah!!"
A scream also came from behind him. It was a man in a supermarket employee uniform. He had also seen the scene outside the door. This was obviously something he had never seen in his life.
Bang! Bang!
Immediately afterward, two figures rushed in, unable to stand still, and the two people fell directly on top of each other.
But what was strange was that the ghosts behind them, and even on their bodies, seemed to be isolated outside, as if the inside and outside of the door were two different worlds. They could only reveal their ferocious faces across the door, as if they wanted to grab Chen Ge and the others inside.
"Bang!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Ge also breathed a sigh of relief. He took three steps in two steps and directly closed the door. Even if he was trapped in the room now, he didn't want to face those monsters.
Not to mention that in the entire underground, this was the only room with light. This place was definitely not simple, and there might be a glimmer of hope.
"Are you guys okay?"
Chen Ge reached out and pulled up the two people in front of him. Although he was still wary of these three suddenly appearing people, for the time being, they had not shown any abnormalities. As Boss Chen, who had been dealing with ghosts for a long time, was more willing to see this situation.
He liked this kind of ghost, liked to play with people's hearts, liked to scare people to death, and only this kind of ghost could he find more opportunities to survive in this environment.
"Thank you!" The man in the hospital gown stood up and thanked Chen Ge, and Chen Ge also nodded.
"Was it you who bumped into me just now?!" But the other man in a suit and leather shoes was different. He pushed Chen Ge away and looked at him with cold eyes. He had also seen the things behind him just now. If he hadn't been lucky, he really didn't know what he would have become now.
Dismembered? Cooked? Or not even scum left?
Just thinking about it made him furious. Looking at Chen Ge in front of him, he didn't have a good expression at all.
