Haunted House

...In the thick fog, a dilapidated bus was slowly driving along the endless highway.

There were 7 people in the bus, three women and four men.

They sat in the car, looking at the thick fog outside the window, with different expressions.

Doubt, confusion, fear...

But other than that, their faces were all equally pale.

It was as if they had experienced something terrible on the road.

The bus moved forward all the way until it finally came to an old and dilapidated villa, and then finally stopped.

The villa was surrounded by thick fog, and it was pitch black, mysterious and weird.

The door opened, as if telling the passengers inside... It was time to get off.

The 7 people on the bus slowly got off the bus, and they looked back, with an unspeakable fear in their eyes.

Because, in the driving seat of this bus, there should have been a driver's position... but it was empty.

Yes, this bus... has no driver.

As the last passenger got off the bus, the bus door closed automatically, and then it started moving again until it disappeared into the depths of the fog...

The seven people standing outside the black villa looked at each other and saw the extremely ugly expressions on each other's faces.

"Let's go..."

"I think we have no other choice."

At the critical moment, a thin man in the crowd spoke up. He wore dark brown square-framed wooden glasses, and his handsome face showed a calmness that was different from others.

"Really...really want to go in?"

The beautiful woman with gold earrings trembled in her voice.

She was wearing very little, so she was very cold.

She covered her arms with her hands and kept rubbing them.

"What if it's...not safe inside?"

The others were silent.

Originally, they thought it was some kind of prank, or someone specially invited them to do a show...

However, when they found that there was no driver on the bus, they fell into deep fear!

Although everyone was once a staunch materialist, some things that happened before... were too incredible!

"So, are you going to walk into the fog?"

Ning Qiu Shui took a deep breath and tried to appear calm.

In fact, his heart was beating very fast.

From the time he received the mysterious letter to the time he came to this place, it was less than an hour.

But this hour had a huge impact on his worldview!

"Have you forgotten the fat man who jumped out of the car at the intersection?"

When the fat man was mentioned, great fear immediately filled the woman's beautiful eyes!

Her legs softened and she almost couldn't stand!

Previously, there were a total of 8 people on the bus.

Everyone suddenly appeared on the bus after falling asleep.

Among them was a fat man who kept cursing on the road, saying that it must be some unscrupulous program operator who wanted to invite them to do a reality show.

The fat man said impatiently that their cell phones must have been replaced, the driver of the bus was actually driving the bus under their feet, the thick fog scene was specially created with dry ice, etc...

Finally, when the bus stopped at a certain intersection, the fat man directly opened the window, jumped out of the car, and walked into the fog alone...

Things had developed to this point, and everything was normal.

However, when everyone came to the next intersection, they found something floating on the traffic light shrouded in fog...

As the bus slowly approached, they could see clearly that what had been floating on the traffic light... was the bloody human skin of the fat man who had left earlier!

The skin was completely peeled off, and everyone could even see that the fat man's expression was extremely terrified and distorted, as if he had seen something particularly terrible before he died!

And large pieces of scarlet blood kept flowing from the pole of the traffic light!

This scene directly scared everyone in the car!

Some people didn't believe in evil and opened the car window, so the bloody smell that made people want to vomit was floating all over the car...

...

When the fat man was mentioned, everyone's face was very ugly, and some even began to retch.

"...Since no one dares to approach the fog, we can only enter this black villa..."

Ning Qiushui took a deep breath.

He was also afraid.

But for some reason, whether he saw the bloody human skin floating on the traffic light or smelled the bloody smell, his reaction was far less than that of everyone else.

Moreover, he was very interested in the mysterious letter before.

The owner of the letter... What exactly did he want to tell him?

With Ning Qiushui taking the lead, everyone followed him, pushed open the iron door of the black villa, and entered the garden outside the villa.

It was very quiet around.

It was terrifyingly quiet.

Everyone had to stay close together. The beautiful woman with gold earrings in the middle felt that someone was rubbing her, but she just frowned and didn't say much.

Let's rub it... It's better than being skinned for no reason!

In this way, everyone came to the door of the black villa, and Ning Qiu Shui knocked on the door.

Dong Dong Dong --

As he knocked on the door, footsteps soon came from the inner door. The people behind couldn't help but step back a few steps, staring at the door, and seemed very nervous!

Zhi --

The door was opened.

However, the horror scene expected by everyone did not appear.

The one who opened the door was a very delicate and beautiful girl.

She seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Are you there?"

"Come in."

The girl spoke, and everyone realized that he was actually... a boy.

A very beautiful boy.

However, the boy's voice was very cold.

There was not much emotion.

Everyone looked at Ning Qiushui and followed the boy in, looking at each other for a moment, not knowing whether to follow or not.

"You'd better come in quickly..."

Just as everyone was hesitating, the voice of the young man came from the room again.

"That fog... is very unsafe."

When the fog was mentioned, everyone remembered the fat man who died tragically before, shuddered with fear, and rushed into the room.

The hall of the villa was very wide and decorated in a very classical style. On the left was a neatly arranged bookshelf, on the right was a wooden staircase leading upstairs, and in the middle there were three large sofas for rest.

In the center of the sofa was a burning brazier.

In the room, four people were surrounding the brazier.

They looked at the flames in the brazier, dazed and dazed, and didn't speak.

The atmosphere, in such silence... became colder and colder.

"Excuse me... where is this place?"

"Why are we here?"

"What's the situation with the fog and bus outside?"

"..."

Finally, after thinking for a while, Ning Qiushui asked these three questions.

But still no one answered him.

Even the four people who were warming themselves by the fire didn't even look at him.

At this time, the bearded man Liu Chengfeng behind Ning Qiushui couldn't help it:

"I'm asking you questions!"

"Are you all mute?"

He spoke so loudly that it rumbled in the room, making people's eardrums hurt.

Finally, the man in a suit who was sitting on the sofa opposite Ning Qiushui and warming himself by the fire spoke:

"I know you have a lot of questions..."

"If you can come back alive from the first bloody door, I will tell you the answers to these questions."

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Blood Gate? What is that?"

Ning Qiushui's heart moved, and he remembered the mysterious letter he had received before, and asked.

The man in the suit did not even raise his head, and pointed to the third floor of the villa.

"You don't have much time. The Blood Gate will open in less than 5 minutes. At that time, you will enter the horror world in the Blood Gate and complete the task on the Blood Gate."

"After completing the task, the bus will come to pick you up."

After he finished speaking, a short and thin woman with twin ponytails in the crowd, Yan Youping, asked weakly:

"What if... I don't complete the task?"

The man in the suit heard this, slowly raised his head, and looked at Yan Youping.

The calm and indifferent eyes made Yan Youping tremble in his heart.

"You will die."

"And it will be... a very miserable death."

Everyone softened when they heard this.

They wanted to think it was just a joke.

However... the serious expression of the man in the suit dispelled the last bit of luck in their hearts.

"Can... no, not go?"

Another young man with blond hair swallowed and asked.

The man in the suit glanced at him.

"Okay."

"But... you'd better not sleep in the future."

The blond man was stunned:

"Why?"

The man in the suit smiled:

"Because if you don't complete the task in the blood gate, then... there will be 'things' behind the blood gate looking for you."

"No matter where you escape, they will find you."

"Then..."

The man in the suit didn't continue, but everyone already knew the ending.

Ning Qiushui glanced at the third floor, and finally asked the man in the suit:

"Before we go in, do you have any instructions?"

The man in the suit was slightly startled, and then turned his eyes to Ning Qiushui. After seeing Ning Qiushui's calmness, which was different from everyone else, a trace of imperceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Instructions... yes."

"Although the story behind the Blood Gate is extremely dangerous, there is more than one way out. As long as you find a way out, it is not difficult to complete the mission and survive."

Ning Qiu Shui nodded.

"Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he actually took the first step and walked upstairs.

Seeing Ning Qiu Shui so decisive, the beard Liu Chengfeng struggled fiercely in his eyes, and then gritted his teeth and followed him up.

"Damn, brother... you are really brave!"

Liu Chengfeng whispered when he came behind Ning Qiu Shui.

On the way, he actually noticed Ning Qiu Shui.

It's hard not to notice.

Whether it was when he found the fat man's human skin or smelled the strong smell of blood, Ning Qiu Shui didn't react much.

"Brave?"

Ning Qiu Shui laughed at himself.

"Do you think we have a choice?"

Liu Chengfeng is very tall, so even though he is one step lower than Ning Qiushui, he is only a little shorter than him.

"When you saw the fat man's skin earlier, you didn't even blink. Were you... that person before?"

"Which one?"

"Killer."

"You've read too many novels. Where do so many killers come from in reality?"

"Uh...then..."

"I'm a doctor."

"Oh~ No wonder, a forensic doctor?"

"Almost, a veterinarian."

Liu Chengfeng: "..."

The two chatted and came to the third floor of the villa.

As soon as they came up, the two stopped talking.

A strong smell of blood and a strong smell of rotting wood filled the air.

There was nothing on the third floor of the villa, only a wooden door soaked in blood.

The scarlet blood on the wooden door read a line of words:

[Take care of the paralyzed old man in bed for five days]

"Take care of the old man...this is our mission this time."
