Chapter 236 4 Newcomers
The last time the elevator opened was on the twelfth floor, right in the middle of the building.
"The game is over, but the 24th floor still doesn't appear."
The silver-gray elevator door was facing the dark corridor, and Chen Ge stood inside and took out the flyer of the Weird Talk Association.
"The first floor corresponds to the 23rd floor, the second floor corresponds to the 22nd floor, the entire building is an odd-numbered floor, the twelfth floor is in the middle, and there is no corresponding floor."
After thinking for a long time, Chen Ge didn't know if he had succeeded: "Is it because the old man saw it? So I failed? Do I need to try again?"
It was already Wednesday, the night was dark, and Chen Ge also felt a little uncomfortable when he was alone in the elevator looking at the dark corridor outside.
"There is a number 24 on the elevator display, but there is no corresponding button on the control panel. Is this the fault of the installer, or is it intentional?"
Chen Ge was unwilling to leave, and decided to go to the top floor to take a look.
He pressed the button for the twenty-third floor, and the elevator began to ascend again.
The numbers are constantly changing and never stop in between.
"20, 21, 22..."
Chen Ge looked at the display. When the number changed from 22 to 23, he suddenly found that the elevator did not slow down as before.
The color of the numbers continued to deepen, as if blood was oozing from the wound, a cold wind blew from the closed elevator car, and strange noises came from outside the elevator from time to time.
Chen Ge stood in the corner, his body half-bent, and his fingertips lightly touched the pig-killing knife tied to his calf.
After about two seconds, the elevator began to slow down, and when the elevator came to a complete stop, the last digit on the display lit up.
"twenty four!"
The silver-gray elevator doors opened to both sides, with a few strands of blood sticking in the middle, and a strong stench poured in from the outside.
Covering his mouth and nose, Chen Ge was very familiar with this smell. He had smelled a similar smell in Wang Shenglong's room in Haiming's apartment and on the first floor of the third sick building.
"This smell seems to be unique to the monster over the door!"
The elevator door opened completely,
There was a cold wind blowing in the empty car, Chen Ge looked at the almost completely dark corridor outside, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He didn't go out directly, but first set the one-touch dial on his mobile phone to Gu Feiyu's phone number. Although this was one more process than calling the police, it could effectively prevent the police from revealing his existence.
After setting up, Chen Ge took out another thing from his personal pocket. Before coming, he was also considering whether to take this thing out of the haunted house.
"There is a requirement on the flyer that all members of the association must not disclose information to each other, so masks must be worn."
There are many masks in Chen Ge's haunted house, but the one that is most comfortable to wear is the combined face of a Skull Smash Doctor.
"Wearing it, it feels like I can more easily fit into this psychiatric community."
It was a bit unnatural to wear a human skin mask outside the haunted house for the first time, but now I can't think about these details.
Walking out of the elevator, Chen Ge glanced back. There were bloodstains and incomplete bloody handprints on the walls on both sides of the elevator door, as if someone struggled to climb to the elevator, and then was brutally grabbed back.
The silver-gray elevator door slowly closed, and the elevator didn't come up after going down.
"How am I going to leave?"
There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and Chen Ge can only comfort himself like this now.
He checked the things on his body and walked towards the corridor.
In the elevator, someone could be heard screaming outside, but after coming out, Chen Ge found that the surroundings were very quiet.
The security doors on both sides were all locked, and there was no sound coming from the house.
"It feels like there are no living people on this floor."
Continue to walk forward, the light is getting dim, and more and more blood stains begin to appear on the walls.
"Is the Strange Talk Association in a certain room?" Chen Ge walked about a dozen meters forward, and suddenly saw a security door in front of him that was open.
Approaching the iron gate carefully, he was about to look inside when a man wearing a beak mask suddenly walked out.
The two sides met, Chen Ge stopped, but the bird-billed man took a step back in fright.
Chen Ge didn't speak first. In this completely unfamiliar environment, the more he spoke, the more dangerous he might be.
Both of them were silent, and after a few breaths, the bird-billed man asked suspiciously, "Newcomer?"
"Yes." Chen Ge changed his voice, making his voice sound more hoarse and deeper.
"There are three new people here today, how can there be a fourth?" The bird-billed man stopped in front of Chen Ge: "How did you find this place?"
Chen Ge handed the flyer of the Strange Talk Association to the bird-billed man. After the man glanced at it, he became even more puzzled: "It's the flyer we sent out, but why are there four people here this time?"
He walked up to Chen Ge and looked up and down, the long beak almost touched Chen Ge's face.
"I can't smell the strange smell..." The bird-billed man closed the security door next to him and said unsurely, "Come with me."
Chen Ge followed behind with his head lowered, his eyelids twitching slightly, just when the bird-billed man turned around and closed the door, he glanced inside the house.
There were several wooden boxes in the dark room. One of the boxes had not yet been sealed. Half of the arm was stuck in the gap. A circular wound could be seen in the center of the palm, as if it had been pecked through by a bird's beak.
Following the beak man, the two came to the end of the corridor.
"Go in." He pointed to a door in the deepest part of the corridor and said to Chen Ge.
"it is good."
Chen Ge didn't talk nonsense. He opened the door and paused for a second or two. After confirming that there was no danger at the door, he walked in directly.
Taking a step forward, when Chen Ge saw the scene in the house, he took a breath.
The room was much bigger than he had imagined. There was an extended dining table in the living room. Five people in faceless masks and black robes were sitting on the left and right sides, and three people in casual clothes were standing beside the dining table. Not seated.
"Thirteen..." Chen Ge wrote down all the characteristics of those people in just a few seconds: "Is it because of the light? Why are there no shadows on the five people on the left, only the five people on the right? Is there a shadow?"
"Come in, fourth newcomer, good luck." The bird-billed man closed the security door heavily without giving Chen Ge a chance to go back.
"Bang!"
The door closed loudly, and everyone in the room was attracted, looking at Chen Ge through the mask.
"How can there be a fourth newcomer?" The man sitting in the first seat on the right stood up, his voice was a little shrill, and there was a smoke scar on his little finger exposed.
"Don't interrupt other people's stories." The person in the first seat on the left spoke lightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"But why are there four newcomers?" The man on the right sat back in his seat.
"It doesn't matter how many new people there are now, there are only three people left in the end anyway."
The man on the left said gloomily, hearing his words, the faces of the three newcomers standing beside the dining table were not very good.
