My House of Horrors Chapter 431

Chapter 431
This was a corridor made from dead bodies and covered in red moss . Chen Ge remembered the reminder—he had to maintain complete silence inside the red corridor . It was Lee Zheng who had told him that, but he did not tell Chen Ge why . He had only said that was what the school staff had told him . Will the noise wake the bodies in the wall?
Seeing the faces in the wall, Chen Ge softened his movement—his every step was the epitome of caution . With the white cat leading the way, he was not that worried . However, after he took a few steps, Chen Ge suddenly heard sound coming from behind him—it sounded like people running in the corridor .
The two workers are afraid of me; they wouldn’t have come into the corridor if not necessary . This mean they were in danger, probably ran into some monsters .
With the increased movement, Chen Ge could feel the whole corridor shaking . As the footsteps echoed down the passage, the ‘moss’ started to leak red liquid . Much of the ‘moss’ from above his head, next to his body, and under his feet started to peel to reveal the many faces . They were so well-preserved that one could easily mistake them for being alive .
Their lashes quivered . When the red liquid slid past their faces, their skin seemed to be revitalized, and their eyelids twitched like they would open in the next second . Chen Ge did not dare stay in the corridor any longer . The area was too cramped, and if the bodies in the wall woke up, he had a feeling he would be buried alive .
Buried alive by the bodies and stay here forever, becoming one of them?
Chen Ge took in a cold breath, and he had a vague idea why there were so many dead bodies there . He moved faster to catch up to the white cat .

The corridor was very long, and the surroundings were all blood red . ‘Moss’ was still falling, and the bodies that formed the foundation of the wall vibrated slightly . Some of the bodies seemed to hear the noise, and they tried to extricate themselves from the rest . The whole corridor was shaking, and cracks appeared on the wall . Eventually, arms fell out from the ceiling!
The scene would make anyone’s skin crawl . Even Chen Ge’s heart was racing, much less a normal person . Holding his hands above his head, Chen Ge practically crawled forward . The arms that fell from the ceiling felt like they were grabbing after him . The sound behind him was nearing, and the bodies in the wall slowly awakened . Chen Ge could sense their movement .
This three-star scenario is more dangerous than I thought .
If the corridor collapsed then, even if he summoned all of his employees, it would have been useless . Only Zhang Ya would be able to use her long hair to force an opening for Chen Ge . The ghosts were only one of the standards to gauge the danger level of a scenario; some of the scenarios were naturally dangerous . For example, this underground morgue, due to it being built underground, was hard to be taken down .
The white cat’s call came from ahead of him . After consuming the society’s blood, the white cat had become smarter . It too could sense the changes in the corridor, and it called urgently for Chen Ge to come out . Since the bodies were awakening, Chen Ge threw caution to the wind and started running .
Some parts of the corridor were completely blocked by the red ‘moss’, and Chen Ge could only use his body to force his way through . If not for the fact that Chen Ge knew where the white cat was, he probably would not have charged forward so heedlessly .

The ‘moss’ peeled off, and the fragrant liquid stuck to his body . In this creepy environment, Chen Ge felt like his body was enveloped by a warm mist, like he was sitting beside a heater in the winter, and his body temperature was slowly rising . If not for the impending danger, he might even have thought about staying there a bit longer .
The footsteps behind him approached . Chen Ge did not have time to care about other people . He drilled forward, and after who knew how long, the pressure around his body suddenly gave, and his sight brightened . “Finally got out from there!”
His jacket was soaked and was radiating a light fragrance . The hammer in his hand also smelled less bloody, but it looked scarier . The other side of the corridor was most likely the central hub of the underground morgue . This place was no different from inside the corridor . Everywhere he turned, everything was covered by a thick layer of blood red ‘moss’ .
This place is technically a room quarantined by using dead bodies .
The echoes of the footsteps inside the corridor did not influence the central hub much . Chen Ge waited for some time beside the exit, waiting for the two workers . He also wanted to know what was happening outside .
It was Li Jiu who poked his head through first . The man was obviously in shock . When he saw Chen Ge, his lips fell open like he was about to say something . Chen Ge expected such a response, so he quickly rushed forward to cover the man’s lips and then whispered into his ear, “Keep quiet . “
Two seconds later, Li Jiu understood the message and nodded quickly . Then, Ma Wei struggled out of the tunnel . Similarly, Chen Ge covered his lips before he could say anything . After the two calmed down, Chen Ge said, “This place is buried with endless bodies . If you don’t want to wake them up, be quiet . “
“Brother, the cadavers in the glass tubes outside have all come out . When we went past them, we saw them coming this way . ” Li Jiu sounded worried, and his face was covered with sweat .
“When you went past them?” Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, and his detached tone scared Ma Wei and Li Jiu . “Were you two planning to escape?”
“No, really not, we just planned to go look around,” Li Jiu stuttered .
“Don’t worry, it’s understandable if you tried to run . I’m more curious, am I that scary? You’d rather go find dead bodies than listen to my advice . ” Chen Ge used the hammer to peel the ‘moss’ on the red corridor away . The bodies did not follow them .
Ma Wei and Li Jiu did not know how to answer, so they kept their heads lowered and kept quiet, afraid that they might say something wrong . Actually, it was not their fault for being afraid . If a murder was committed there, the murderer could even skip the process of dealing with the carcass .
“Never mind . It’s fate that we manage to meet down here . If you two listen to my orders closely, I won’t make things too difficult for you . ” Chen Ge sounded warm in his previous sentence . “But I shall warn you first, if you create problems for me…”
He picked up the hammer to allow Ma Wei and Li Jiu to see the blood stains clearer . “Please reconsider, this is human blood on the hammer . “
Li Jiu and Ma Wei nodded in quick succession without a second thought .
