Chapter 8 Black Friday
"Three entrances and three exits, main wing, east and west wing rooms, hand-curtained verandahs, hanging flower curtains, Ruyi Gate, upside-down lintels, thunder pillars... The details of this haunted house are well done. It imitates an ancient courtyard house and has a sense of immersion." Gao Ruxue
He walked around the scene with a relaxed expression and would comment a few words from time to time.
"Sister, we are in a haunted house, not visiting Suzhou gardens. Can you consider my feelings?" The empty house is filled with gloomy air, soul flags are floating, and paper money is flying. Heshan sees the haunted house and Gao Ruxue's place.
It was completely different. He was cautious, fearing that something would suddenly emerge from the shadows in the corner: "It's better to find the exit quickly. I have an ominous premonition."
"Now that you're here, let's take a good tour. We are playing in a haunted house. Don't let yourself be fooled by the haunted house."
"Do you remember that the owner of the haunted house said before he came in that we should find the exit within fifteen minutes? I always think that man is a bad guy. If we can't escape within fifteen minutes, something terrible will definitely happen.
Something!" Heshan tried to persuade Gao Ruxue, but unfortunately the other party didn't care.
"There are only a few ways to scare people in a haunted house. The most they can do is ask the staff to pretend to be ghosts and chase us around. We are not even afraid of the dead, but are we afraid of the living?" Gao Ruxue walked aimlessly through the corridor, casually
Pushed open the door to the left side room.
The venue for ghost marriage is a standard courtyard structure. The main room is for the elders and the head of the family. The side rooms are for the eldest son and the younger generations. The side rooms are located on both sides of the main room and are where the servants and maids live.
Pushing the door open, the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, the bedding on the bed was torn, cotton wool was scattered, and a white silk ribbon hung in the middle of the beam.
"Senior sister, I'm waiting outside, please pay attention to your safety..." He Shan was dragged into the room by Gao Ruxue before he could finish his words. With a bitter look on his face, he looked at the white silk swaying slowly in the windless movement.
The body is a little stiff.
"It's interesting. Bai Ling is 1.5 meters above the ground. It's impossible to hang anyone at this height. The tables and chairs fell over, and there are still traces of struggle on the ground. The haunted house is deliberately creating the illusion of being forced to commit suicide. A maid lives in the wing room.
, Li Gui even spared no servants who were not related by blood to the family, and it seemed that he was planning to torture everyone in this mansion to death." Gao Ruxue looked calm, with a hint of excitement hidden in the corner of her eyes: "The design of the haunted house is very detailed, maybe
There are other Easter eggs hidden as well.”
She rummaged through the cabinets and lifted off the quilt on the bed. Under the shabby quilt lay a paper girl doll.
"The paper man is lying on the bed of a living person?" Gao Ruxue threw the paper man aside and opened the bed board. There was nothing underneath.
"The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. I overestimated this haunted house. Let's go, the exit is not in this room." She waved her hand and strode outside.
Heshan, who was left alone in the room, looked at the paper doll on the ground and felt his teeth chattering. Maybe it was because of the angle, but he actually felt that the paper doll was smiling at him.
"The copper chicken bleeds, the paper man opens his eyes...wait for me! Senior!"
The door to the penthouse was closed tightly again, and the white silk in the room stopped floating.
"Can you please lower your voice? What's your name? A grown man is as timid as a girl." Gao Ruxue gave Heshan a blank look and stopped at the edge of the verandah.
"It's not that I'm a coward! This place really makes me feel uncomfortable. The longer I stay, the stronger the uneasy feeling becomes, as if the thing I'm most afraid of has been brought out!"
When He Shan said this, Gao Ruxue was stunned for a moment, and she also noticed something was wrong.
The most important thing for a forensic doctor is to have a steady mind and a steady hand, but when she was talking about Heshan just now, her tone became obviously much more irritable, which has never happened in other places.
"Am I afraid? I know everything in the haunted house is fake, why should I be afraid?" A crack appeared in Gao Ruxue's psychological defense line. Neither of them found the reason for fear. Under self-doubt and psychological suggestion, fear
The seeds are taking root and sprouting.
"You don't think there really is anything unclean hidden in this place, right? His haunted house was built on a mass grave, or it was converted from a hospital building..."
"Shut up! The underground morgue in our school is not scarier than this place. You are also a medical student, so why are you so cowardly?" Gao Ruxue said indifferently, but her speaking speed became faster and faster. She sat on the railing of the verandah.
Looking around, he saw ancient houses, mourning halls, dead trees, and paper money all over the floor. These things were not very scary: "What on earth am I afraid of?"
Both of them were attracted by the gloomy environment and did not pay attention to the background music that had been playing on a loop.
This taboo song called "Black Friday" has subtly entangled in the hearts of the two of them, like an underground river washing their souls, dragging them step by step into the bottomless abyss.
"Xiaoshan, how long have we been here?"
"I don't know, but I feel like we won't be able to escape within fifteen minutes!"
"Don't panic, I thought about it carefully." Gao Ruxue ignored the dust and walked directly to the other side of the verandah: "There is nothing to be afraid of in this haunted house. The main reason is that the boss has been giving us negative psychological hints. From the moment we enter,
From the beginning of the haunted house, he has been emphasizing words such as mass graves, living burials, female ghosts, etc. He wants us to scare ourselves. The more cunning thing about this person is that he has set a time limit, but he has not specified it.
Whatever we encounter, this causes us to put pressure on ourselves and diverge our minds to imagine the most terrifying things."
"Then what do you think we should do now? This haunted house always feels different from other haunted houses." Heshan is a very honest young man. He will believe whatever his senior says.
"Your feeling is correct. In a normal haunted house, there will be professional actors playing ghosts, using a lot of equipment to create bloody and terrifying scenes, and then let us experience it step by step. But this haunted house did not do that. He made it
The scene is set, allowing us to explore freely, without guidance or constraints, and no one knows what will happen next.”
"I understand what you mean, the unknown is the scariest thing." Heshan looked like he had an epiphany.
"At this point, we can only explain it this way." Gao Ruxue frowned slightly: "Okay, let's go to the next room."
The wing room is adjacent to the main room. This is where the head of the family lives. When the wooden door is opened, linen mourning robes are thrown inside the room. There is a lacquered wooden pavilion in the middle of the hall.
There was a red coffin with a big word "happiness" pasted on white paper in the middle, and a neat row of paper figures kneeling on both sides.
