Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 201 No Lamp Road, Entering Dreams
The No-Light Road was on the edge of the city. When Chen Ge and the others arrived, it was already getting dark, and many strange auras began to appear in the gray sky.
There were no pedestrians on the street anymore, but from time to time, dark shadows could be seen flashing by. This city was more active at night than during the day. One by one, strangely shaped shadows gradually took shape in the dark night.
As night fell, Chen Ge was also prepared. Xu Yin, Men Nan, Bai Qiulin, the Red Raincoat, the Red High Heels, the Headless Female Ghost, and the "temporary employees," the Tunnel Female Ghost and Spider Boy, eight Red Specters protected them, and their auras erupted, directly clearing a safe zone.
The boss and the others exclaimed in surprise. This was the ability to manipulate vengeful spirits, and not just one. They knew that Chen Ge also had a comic book in his hand, from which he could summon a large number of vengeful spirits at any time. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a night parade of a hundred ghosts.
"This is the No-Light Road?" Several Red Specters protected them in the center. Even though it was already dark and many ghosts and monsters appeared in the distance, they did not dare to approach at all.
As for Chen Ge, he was looking at the alley in front of him.
They were standing outside the alley, and there were dim lights every few meters, but strangely, all the lights stopped abruptly at the entrance of the alley, as if a dark mouth had swallowed all the light.
Even when he used his Yin Yang Eyes, the visibility was very low. It was indeed as its name suggested, with no light at all, completely shrouded in darkness.
"My understanding of the No-Light Road is only related to the legend of '4'. As for whether there are other things in it, I don't know, so be careful."
Jiang Xuan said calmly. Chen Ge couldn't tell if he really didn't know or was pretending not to know, but that didn't matter anymore. If even the protection of eight Red Specters couldn't break through, then knowing more wouldn't help.
"Let's go!" Chen Ge said. Xu Yin and the other Red Specters took the lead into the No-Light Road. The blood color on their bodies was not shrouded by the darkness, which was good news. Now, they were like bright lights in the dark night, ensuring that they would not get lost in the darkness.
The whole street was very quiet, but strangely, Chen Ge always felt that countless eyes were staring at them, as if they were discussing their origins and guessing the date of their death.
The No-Light Road was not big, but they walked back and forth several times, but they still couldn't find No. 44. It was as if it didn't exist, like a ghost, with no trace to be found.
However, at the moment when the midnight bell rang, several Red Specters looked in a certain direction. As they approached, Chen Ge and the others realized that it was a three-story building with an old awning at the entrance of the building. On the outer wall of the building, there were also a few words written—No-Light Road No. 44.
Like a ghost, it only appeared after midnight. The whole building seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of mist. Even the Red Specters almost lost control of their own power when they sensed the appearance of this building.
"F-Found it?"
The three burdens muttered in a low voice, their eyes even more horrified. This No-Light Road was not normal at all. Even buildings could suddenly disappear or appear. Who knew what was inside?
Slowly walking into the dark stairwell, Chen Ge felt a familiar yet unfamiliar emotion in his heart. He seemed to have been here in a dream, but he had forgotten the specifics.
"Be careful, this building is very strange." Men Nan, a non-combat Red Specter, said. The other Red Specters also had this feeling, but they couldn't explain it.
"I know." Chen Ge touched the mottled wall and walked down the stairs to the basement. According to Jiang Xuan, he had to avoid places with "4" in the No-Light Road, but tonight, he was going to places that were all "4".
And now, even the Red Specters said that this building was very strange, which made him even more afraid to be careless.
The dark corridor had no end in sight, and occasionally he would step on dry, cracked wood and insect corpses. The gloomy and terrifying environment, coupled with the unusual behavior of the Red Specters, made Chen Ge equally apprehensive.
"Room 444…"
Looking at the door number above their heads, Chen Ge and his party fell into silence.
"Are we going in?" Jiang Xuan asked. He had said that things related to "4" in the No-Light Road were very dangerous, and this room was undoubtedly the most dangerous one.
"Go in!"
Xu Yin stood beside Chen Ge, and blood-red patterns spread rapidly around Chen Ge, and a strong bloody smell came like a blood sea pouring in.
The entire corridor was filled with blood color in an instant, as if to tear through the darkness.
"Creak!" Accompanied by the harsh sound of the door opening and the flying dust, everyone and every ghost watched vigilantly.
But the scene behind the door was beyond their expectations. There were no unjustly dead souls inside, nor were there any strange monsters. There was only a dim light swaying overhead, the carpet smelled of mildew, rotten tables and chairs were piled in the center of the room, and even one or two corpses of unknown insects could be seen in some broken holes in the floor.
Other than that, they couldn't see anything else. It was hard to imagine that this was the most dangerous room in the legendary No-Light Road.
"As expected, legends are not credible." Chen Ge looked at Jiang Xuan, who looked a little unnatural, and couldn't help thinking.
Could it be that he really guessed wrong? Otherwise, how could a monster who could become the lord of a city deceive him on such a trivial matter?
"Hoo~" Jiang Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked at Chen Ge and said, "What should we do next?"
Chen Ge rested his chin and looked at the room and said, "Before 4:44:44 AM, fall asleep in this room, and we may be able to leave here."
"Fall asleep here?!" Da Yu couldn't help but exclaim, this was probably crazy.
"That's right." Chen Ge nodded. To enter the deep dream, they needed to fall asleep. As for the many vengeful spirits, according to Chen Ge's guess, they would probably enter the deep dream as he did, along with his sleep.
In fact, he had previously asked Xu Yin how they entered the middle dream, but even Xu Yin couldn't explain it. After Chen Ge entered the dream, they seemed to be sucked into a door, and when they woke up again, they were already in the middle dream.
Chen Ge believed that this was the power of the black phone, allowing the many vengeful spirits in the haunted house to enter the dream together with his sleep. This method of entering the deep dream was likely to be the same.
"Can… can they fall asleep too?" Shen Luo looked at Xu Yin and asked. He didn't know if ghosts could fall asleep, but in this place, without these eight Red Specters guarding them, how could they fall asleep?
Although there was no danger in front of them, it might be because they were afraid of the power of the eight Red Specters, but what if there was a crisis as soon as they all fell asleep?
"There's no way, we can only take a gamble, otherwise we can only be trapped here." Chen Ge said, the black phone gave him such a reminder, to enter the deep dream, there was only this way.
It was impossible for him to leave his employees in the middle dream, in that case he would rather find other ways out. Hearing his words, the boss and the others looked ugly, but they really had no other way. Jiang Xuan was also looking at Chen Ge and the others, as if he was calculating whether this was feasible.
"Let's do it, at worst, we'll start all over again." The boss still thought this was a game, thinking that after dying, he would only clear his game account.
"Now that you've decided, don't waste time, didn't you say you have to fall asleep before a certain time?"
Jiang Xuan said, while he found a corner, cleaned it up casually, used his backpack as a pillow, and without regard for the corpses of insects on the ground, he lay down and closed his eyes.
"Is this guy really not afraid at all?" Chen Ge glanced at Jiang Xuan, he couldn't understand this person.
After Jiang Xuan lay down, Chen Ge and the others also lay down one after another.
Closing their eyes, although they couldn't see anything, they felt that this room was different. Vaguely, Chen Ge seemed to see three figures wearing paper masks, sitting upright, looking at them in another direction.
But if he opened his eyes, there was nothing in that direction. Several Red Specters also said that there was nothing unusual. The three paper-masked figures, like this dream that could not distinguish between illusion and reality, no one could judge whether they really existed.
