The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 1358

Chapter 1358

Tsk Gak!

The door of the mansion was pushed open . Eckart finally recovered from his daze .

“Go, go, go!” he said in a hurry .

In fact, even without his orders, the camera, lighting and other crew members were already moving out .

After all, only Eckart was the ametur in the shooting group .

As for Mei Huasheng?

She was the first to chase after Kieran . She started following Kieran the moment he walked into Edwood Mansion .

In the eyes of Mei Huasheng, what Kieran was doing was all part of his ‘setup’ .

Setting up a lie and luring the innocents into a trap, ultimately gaining what he sought after .

Fortune? Fame? Women? All might be his target .

As for her? Mei Huasheng would not let Kieran succeed, because it would only hurt a lot of people .

The first floor of Edwood Mansion consisted of an administration office, a storeroom, a laundry room, two activity rooms, a living hall plus many corridors .

The corridor generally formed a ‘T’ shape .

After walking past the shoe rack, closet and umbrella rack, Kieran saw the wide living hall and the stairs that led upstairs .

One side of the living hall still had a big square table and a ladder along with a paint bucket that was left behind a long time ago .

It seemed like the third owner of the mansion, Yu Narles, wanted to forge the mansion into a warm, cozy family home, but unfortunately…

Mei Huasheng shook her head when she saw Kieran go up the stairs without having the intention of stopping . She quickly chased him .

When the two of them vanished beyond the stairs, Eckart and the crew finally came in .

“Hurry up! Hurry up!”

Eckart didn’t care about what the script wrote anymore . What introduce the first floor, get used to the atmosphere, etc? All were discarded from his mind . He only knew he had to follow Kieran because he had a feeling that he would get something just by following Kieran .

As a matter of fact, that really was the case .

After going up the horizontal V-shaped stairs, Eckart and the crew saw Kieran stop at the second floor corridor .

The second floor differed from the many sections of the first floor in that it housed only guest rooms .

A total of nine guest rooms were divided into two sides . The side near the stairs had four rooms, 201 to 204; opposite it was 205 to 209, with 207 directly in front of the stairs .

Kieran was standing in front of room 207 .

“What’s wrong? Found anything?”

Eckart finally did his job as a host, walking over to Kieran with the microphone and asking softly . But despite lowering his voice with the microphone near his mouth, his voice echoed throughout the second floor, causing specks of dust to fall .

Echoes moved around the spacious corridor; the overlapped echoes were very discomforting .

When the crew saw the spots where light couldn’t reach, they felt scared facing the unknown in the dark .

At least the two site supervisors stuck together tightly . They held a wrench from the van and sized up the surroundings nervously as though they were afraid that something would jump out of the dark suddenly .

The scared expressions of the site supervisors was captured by the cameraman as well .

According to the script, the two site supervisors were supposed to act scared, but the effect was amplified when they weren’t acting .

“Em . Some whispers tell me there is something unusual here . ”

Kieran’s nasal voice spread through the microphone and what he said entered everyone’s ears .

Whispers? What kind of whispers?

The crew was guessing instinctively . Other than Mei Huasheng, all of them quivered uncontrollably .

Saying something like that in a dark place was really scary . The two site supervisors with the wrench were so scared that they almost dropped the tool .

The two of them unconsciously went closer to the lighting man . They hoped for more light, but when they truly got closer to the light, they realized how scary the darkness really was .

Their little movements didn’t ease their fear at all . Quite the opposite, as it made them more scared .

Wuuu!

Coincidentally, a sudden night breeze entered through the unclosed second floor windows .

The night breeze in July was extra chilly but at this particular moment, it became gloomy and eerie .

Ka, Ka Ka!

The breeze blew over, and the two site supervisors almost stopped breathing . Both of them tried their best to clench their teeth tight, trying not to scream out of shock, but their mouths quivered because of the breeze . Their shivering muscles forbade them from closing their mouths, thus producing the chattering sounds from their teeth .

However, no one would laugh at them at the moment because the others were no better than them .

Fear is infectious . It’s formless and sometimes even more terrifying than the plague .

“T-Then w-what should we do?” Eckart asked in a slightly hoarse voice, adding more depth to the scary atmosphere .

He hadn’t done it on purpose . His throat was tight because of the nervousness and when he spoke, the voice turned hoarse without his control .

Kieran replied with action .

He turned the door handle of room 207 . The obviously rusted mechanism produced a squeaky sound, and the door opened .

Then…

“Aaaaaaaah!”

A sharp scream came from the crew .

The two site supervisors ran downstairs while screaming .

The lighting man and cameraman also staggered backwards . The light wobbled and the camera became shaky, thus making the captured shot even more scary .

Under the wobbling light, a face appeared in the camera .

What kind of face? A scarred face! The face was scarred left and right! The scars even overlapped each other repeatedly!

More importantly, the cause of these scars appeared to all be different; some were knife cuts, some were scald wounds and some were obviously burn marks by some acid .

Under the overlapping hideous scars, the face looked even more scary and vicious .

And inside the dark room, the eerie level of the face skyrocketed infinitely .

The fear exploded in everyone’s shivering hearts when they saw the face .

The two site supervisors had run, the light and camera man limped on the floor and Eckart even shrunk behind Kieran at the very first moment .

His instincts told him that Kieran’s back was the safest place in the entire mansion .

Among the crowd, only Kieran and Mei Huasheng acted normally .

With the light, Kieran carefully inspected the face as if some precious treasure was hidden under all those hideous scars .

Mei Huasheng frowned . She hated cowards with cold feet .

Although this wasn’t the battlefield she used to fight on, she already listed the two site supervisors on her ‘no-contact’ blacklist .

As for the others who didn’t run?

Their cowardry reaction landed them on her blacklist as well .

As for Kieran?

Mei Huasheng categorized him on another list .

“He is not one of those ‘things’ . He is just a poor, homeless ragpicker,” Mei Huasheng explained with a frown . She was ready to end this little farce with the crew, because it was too funny in her eyes .

Kieran, who has been quiet, spoke . “Is that so?”

He was looking at the ragpicker before his eyes . His gaze turned sharp and a name came out of his mouth .

“Feng De . ”
