Chapter 711

“It’s not even locked?” Chen Ge pushed the iron gates open further . Before him was a two-story building with a strange architectural design; it was hard to imagine that such a place existed in the middle of the forest . “A new mailbox is hung on the gate, and behind the gate are some red buckets filled with drinking water . There is also laundry left to dry at the back, so someone must be staying here . “

Afraid of scaring the local ‘citizen’, Chen Ge waved his phone in the dark, knocked on the door, and called, “Is anyone home?”

The only response was silence . He waited ten seconds, and when Chen Ge was about to give up, the door of a nearby building was pushed open . No one spoke, and after a silent communication, a rusty voice croaked from behind the door, “Who are you looking for?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

Based on the voice alone, it was impossible to tell the person’s age . Chen Ge studied the building from afar and did not just go toward it recklessly . When a normal citizen saw a stranger in the vicinity of their home in the middle of the night, their first reaction would be to switch on the light and not to open the door . However, the voice’s owner acted abnormally . After ten seconds of hesitation, he pushed the door open a little further .

“I’m sorry, but is this Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa?” Chen Ge was very polite . No matter the time, no matter what he ran into, he believed that politeness could open many doors .

“How can I help you?” The person did not answer Chen Ge directly, but from his tone, he had already confirmed the answer .

“It’s like this . My friend said that he’s staying at Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa and told me to come find him tonight . However, my GPS cannot find a location with that name, so I came to ask for direction . ” Chen Ge was not lying . He was indeed looking for a friend, but once the person behind the door heard Chen Ge’s answer, there was an audible gasp . “Your friend is staying at Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa?”

The man’s voice was strange . He sounded like his throat was parched, and he mumbled over his enunciation .

“Yes, do you know where Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa is?” Chen Ge took a few steps forward, interested in the man behind the door .

“Of course I do because you are at Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa . ” When the man heard Chen Ge’s approaching footsteps, he closed the door again . “Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa is constructed from the villas at Yong Ling Mountain . Back then, something happened here, and most of the citizens chose to migrate . Later, due to certain reasons, the management was forced to abandon the holiday villa as well, and I am the only one who remained to look after this place . “

The man paused before continuing through the door . “I am the only resident here . You should have been lied to by your friend; he couldn’t be staying here . “

“That shouldn’t be . ” Chen Ge continued casually . “Some time ago, there was a film crew that came here for a shooting, and he was one of the film crew . He invited me here tonight because he said that he chanced upon an important discovery . “

“Stop, it’s dark already, please watch your words . ” The man cut Chen Ge off quickly; he did not want Chen Ge to speak further .

This strange reaction was what Chen Ge was waiting for . Instead of stopping, he continued to mumble to himself, “I’m afraid it was because of his film crew that this place was turned into a holiday villa . I heard that many strange things happened when they were shooting the movie . The movie, I believe, is called… Left Oculus?”

“Stop it!” The man shoved the door open, and he was looking quite agitated . Now that the door had opened fully, Chen Ge got a better look at the speaker . The man before him was around forty with a short body and a severe hump . His face was white, and the most conspicuous feature was that his eyes were both closed—he appeared to be a blind man . Chen Ge waved his hand lightly before the man’s face, and the latter did not react in any way . “I’m so sorry, I don’t mean any offense . I was merely repeating what my friend told me . “

“Your friend said that he’s part of the crew? What does he look like?” The man seemed to have calmed down .

“What does he look like?” Chen Ge was confused . A blind man asking for a person’s appearance, that did not sound quite right . After a moment’s consideration, Chen Ge provided Lee Changyin’s appearance .

The man frowned before waiting for Chen Ge to enter the building . “Don’t just stand out there, come in . “

The building was dark . The light switch on the walls had been removed, and only an exposed base remained . The man seemed to have gotten used to the darkness . He strode into the living room and sat on the sofa; he did not bump into anything along the way . Running into a strange-looking blind man in the middle of nowhere, another person would not have dared to follow, but Chen Ge was an exception .

“I don’t know what your friend told you, but there is one thing that I can be sure of—you have been lied to . ” The man reached out his hand to search for a plastic cup on the table . He picked it up and took a sip .

“Why do you think I will trust you and not my friend?” Chen Ge noticed that the man’s hand was shaking slightly when he picked up the cup .

“The crew for Left Oculus will not return; this place is the source of their nightmare . After escaping with their lives barely intact, why would they return?” The man’s voice had returned to normal and calmed down .

“Brother, it sounds like you know some inside details . ” Chen Ge sat across from the man . There was little light in the room; moonlight streamed in from the window, casting a white pall on the coffee table .

“I am just a guard . I have no exact clue what happened with the crew, but I know that House 744 at Yong Ling Mountain was mowed down completely because it was used for their movie set . ” The man had his eyes closed, but his face was turned toward Chen Ge . “After this place was turned into a holiday villa, the boss built a private showing theater on the site where House 744 once stood…”

When the man mentioned a theater, the black phone in Chen Ge’s pocket suddenly vibrated . Chen Ge was curious, why would a message arrive on the black phone at a moment like that?

He took out his phone and clicked open the new message .

“Congratulations, Specter’s Favored, for triggering two-star special mission—The Story of the Left Oculus!

“This mission is made up of three parts . Please arrive at the dead’s showing theater in the next half an hour and enjoy the full-length movie!

“After this task is completed, the next task will be given!”

Looking at the words on the screen, Chen Ge’s eyes narrowed . “There’s a mistake, right? Shouldn’t it be the private showing theater?”

“Hey, are you listening to me?” The man called after Chen Ge .

“Sorry, I was merely stunned, please continue . ” Chen Ge glanced at the time and put the phone away .

“What happened later is quite scary . Be it morning or night, the theater feels weirdly eerie whenever you enter it . Many visitors also said that when they were watching their movies, they would see figures that were not related to the movie in the films . ”
