Chapter 236
The elevator finally opened at the 12th floor, the middle floor of the building .
The game is over, but the 24th floor hasn't appeared .
The elevator opened to a darkened corridor, and Chen Ge stood within the elevator as he took out the ghost stories society's flyer . 1st floor corresponds to the 23rd floor, and the 2nd floor corresponds to the 22nd floor, but the 12th floor is right in the middle; there's no corresponding floor .
Chen Ge thought about it but could not be sure whether he had been successful or not . Is it because of the old woman? Is that why I failed? Should I try again?
It was already Wednesday . Standing inside the elevator, looking out, Chen Ge felt unsettled . "There are 24 numbers on the elevator, but there is no button for the 24th floor on the control panel . Is this a mistake by the elevator company, or is there a second meaning?"
Chen Ge would not give up so easily, so he decided to go back up to the top floor . He pressed the button for the 23rd floor, and the elevator started to climb . The number kept changing, and it did not stop .
20, 21, 22…
Chen Ge looked at the number, and when the number changed from 22 to 23, unlike before, the elevator did not slow down . The number deepened like it was bleeding . The enclosed elevator booth suddenly gathered a cold gust, and weird sounds could be heard coming from outside the elevator .
Chen Ge stood in the corner and half-arced his body . His fingers reached toward the cleaver tied to his calf . After about two seconds, the elevator started to slow . When the elevator completely stopped, the number on display lit up .
The 24th floor!
The silvery-gray door opened, and as the two halves parted, a sticky substance that looked suspiciously like blood was stuck to them . A stench surged into the booth like a wave . Covering his lips and nose, Chen Ge was very familiar with this smell . He had smelled something similar when he was at Hai Ming Apartments and the Third Sick Hall .
This smell seems to be unique to the monsters behind the door!
The elevator door opened fully . Chen Ge looked down the corridor, and he started to hesitate . He did not walk out immediately but changed the speed dial on his phone to Gu Feiyu's number . Even though this added an extra procedure to calling the cops, it could prevent the emergency call to the police from exposing his identity .
When he set up everything, Chen Ge removed one other thing from his pocket . Before he arrived, he had also been wondering if he should bring this out of the Haunted House .
There is a requirement on the flyer that since all the members are not allowed to reveal their information, they must wear a mask .
There were plenty of masks inside Chen Ge's Haunted House, but the one he was most comfortable with was the skin mask for Doctor Skull-cracker . With this, it should be easier for me to join the group of insane people .
It was understandably unnatural since this was the first time he had put on the mask outside of the Haunted House . However, now was not the time to be concerned about these details .
Exiting the elevator, Chen Ge turned back to look . On the walls beside the elevator door, there were some blood stains and blood prints like people were struggling to crawl toward the elevator but were cruelly pulled back .
The elevator slowly closed, and it did not return after it left .
How am I supposed to leave?
