Ye Xiang, although he now has the cursed high heels, the total number of his redemption tickets can only be used for less than a second. If it exceeds one second, his current redemption tickets will become negative. Even the three soul charms cannot be used. It's like holding a gold brick but starving to death! Therefore, for Ye Xiang, the next step to consider is to earn redemption tickets! Otherwise, what can he do in less than a second?

In front of him, the gate is still tightly sealed. Yu Chen even walked over and checked the lock.

"It seems that no one has come out." Su Han also followed and looked, saying, "Why don't we try to talk to the person inside? It's already this time, we don't need to consider the master's orders anymore, right? People have died!"

Then, without waiting for Yu Chen's agreement, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hey! Can the person inside hear me?"

However, after a long time, there was no sound.

"This door and the walls should have strong soundproofing effects. Maybe the person inside can't hear us," Yu Chen shook his head, not expecting much.

"Then... what's inside?" Su Han looked at the gate with a resentful expression, "Let's find some tools and try to open the door! If we open the door, we will know what's inside!"

"Yes!" Liu Ying agreed, "People have died, so there must be a murderer hiding in the villa! We can't just ignore it... The person inside must know the truth. Let him out and try!"

"This..." Yu Chen hesitated.

"Yes!" Su Han said loudly, not moved at all, "I've thought about it! There must be a big conspiracy behind this! We can't find out without opening this sealed door! I don't care, I must open this door!"

"Stay calm!" Ye Xiang immediately stopped him, "Have you considered whether you should really do that?"

"Of course!" Su Han was not swayed at all, "I've thought about it! People have died even without opening the door, right? Do you want me to spend these three days with a murderer? No way! I've thought about it. Maybe there's a secret passage inside that leads outside. Maybe the murderer also enters and exits through the secret passage!"

At this time, according to the original script, there should be a line from Hang Qingshu: "I also agree with Zhang Hua's words. Without knowing the unknown dangers, opening the door rashly, no one knows what will happen."

However, it was Lu Zenan and Hang Qingshu who started arguing because of this, and then Yu Chen came forward to mediate. But now, Hang Qingshu's actor, Hou Tianbai, is already dead, so many lines cannot be said later. Although it won't directly deduct the redemption tickets of the actors, if the influence expands and creates a butterfly effect, then it's hard to say.

On the other hand, Wu Jun is no different from an invisible person. According to the script, he should be dead by now, so he naturally can't have any lines. Until the third act, according to the rearranged script that changed the second act, before arranging new scenes for him, his redemption tickets will continue to be deducted. At this moment, he can only wear a bitter face and say nothing, but he knows how difficult it is to have the redemption tickets constantly deducted.

After a long dispute, in the end, according to the original script arrangement, Yu Chen stepped forward to stop Su Han and said, "You need to think clearly, this is not just your problem! As you said, someone has already died! This means that everything is definitely not simple! Can you guarantee that opening this door will not have more terrible consequences? Can you?"

"This..."

"What 'this'! There are still six other people here, it's not just your problem! Your secret passage is full of loopholes. If there really is such a secret passage, it could have killed all of us while we were sleeping last night! Is there a need to wait until now? In any case, let's turn this villa upside down and see if anyone has broken in!""Um..." Liu Ying looked around and asked, "Um... what about lunch? Wasn't it supposed to be delivered on time?"

"Why bother with lunch!" Su Han angrily replied, "Everyone is dead, why bother with lunch!"

"No... we still need to prepare lunch," Yu Chen shook his head, "If there really is someone inside, we can't neglect preparing lunch for them. And... I have a feeling that if we go against the owner's request, something terrible might happen."

At this moment, Ye Xiang looked at the door again.

The door was still securely locked. And inside, there was still no movement. However, breakfast had indeed been eaten, so there must be someone inside.

Ye Xiang was very puzzled.

Many horror movies have this kind of plot, doors that cannot be opened, boxes that are forbidden to open, and the protagonists in horror movies always violate the taboos without knowing their fate. But... this horror movie is very strange. Because, this door has never been opened! However, both the original script's Wu Jun and the real "Hang Qing Shu" have truly died.

What kind of secret is hidden behind this?

Since even if the door is closed, Wu Jun (Hang Qing Shu) would still die, then why strictly forbid them from opening the door? Could it be, as the character Lu Ze Nan played by Su Han said, that opening this door is actually a way out?

But at this stage, Ye Xiang didn't dare to gamble. If opening this door really meant no turning back, it would be a dead end for him. Currently, he possessed the cursed object, but it was almost impossible for him to use it. Regardless, he had to find a way to increase the redemption coupons.

So far, except for tearing off the soul charm in "Horror Bus," he had never truly increased his redemption coupons.

Now, he could only continue to search inside this villa.

In fact, this villa had already been searched once. But in such a large place, there must be some oversight. Ye Xiang decided to search more carefully, perhaps there would be unexpected discoveries beyond the script.

And naturally, he followed behind Yu Chen. Unlike him, Yu Chen had enough redemption coupons to use the cursed object.

"Liu Haiping," Ye Xiang, who was following behind Yu Chen, asked, "This building gives off a strange feeling."

"The architectural style of this building is very peculiar," Yu Chen observed the ceiling and walls, "Although I don't know much about architecture, it's obviously not a modern architectural style. No... I even feel that when it was built, they didn't consider the issue of living comfort at all. They didn't even build windows, completely disregarding lighting and ventilation, it's just like a prison."

Just then, suddenly, Yu Chen frowned, stopped in his tracks, and Ye Xiang almost bumped into his back.

"Hush—"

Yu Chen made this gesture, causing Ye Xiang's heart to tremble!

Because... this action was not in the script at all!

Due to the lack of windows and the absence of lights in the corridor, the surroundings appeared dark and eerie. The villa was also quite large, and they were somewhat separated from the others.

The faded stripes on the old floor began to lose their color. The corridor ahead seemed extremely quiet.

"Creak—"

Suddenly, a door in front of them opened! However, the door blocked their line of sight! But this door was originally tightly closed, it couldn't have been blown open by the wind!

Yu Chen no longer hesitated, he suddenly pulled out the severed finger from his pocket!

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

After the severed finger was taken out, blood immediately began to drip from the nail area!

Then, he started to retreat continuously, and Ye Xiang followed suit.

Time passed second by second. When it was about to reach ten seconds, the "creak" of the open door finally closed!

At this moment, Yu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put the severed finger back into his pocket.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness," Yu Chen said, "When my father was young, he encountered a 'zongzi' during a fight, luckily he had prepared 'black donkey hooves' at that time, and this severed finger was left by that 'zongzi'. It has a strong exorcism effect."

"Fight," "zongzi," "black donkey hooves," anyone who has read "Ghost Blows Out the Light" by Tian Xia Ba Chang or "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" by Nan Pai San Shu would understand what they mean. Every time a cursed object appears in the movie, the script will arrange a segment explaining the origin of the cursed object in the movie. Of course, it doesn't necessarily make logical sense, but that's not a requirement.

This segment doesn't exist in the script at all! Obviously, this is closely related to Hou Tianbai's changes to the plot!

Yu Chen also stared at the door in front of him, then he grabbed Ye Xiang's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look!"Ye Xiang immediately understood. The room before them was probably not as simple as it seemed! Just now, if Yu Chen hadn't promptly pulled out the severed finger, the consequences would have been unthinkable! This severed finger was obtained from a horror film even more difficult than "The Room of Confinement". Although the severed finger was now back in his pocket, the protective effect it had generated in those few seconds would still last for a while. Naturally, Yu Chen wanted to thoroughly investigate this room.

Every horror film followed a certain pattern. That pattern was, if a ghost's attack on a person was evaded, then, for a short period of time, it couldn't kill that person a second time. This would create a safe time frame!

Upon reaching the door, Yu Chen took a deep breath and reached out to grab the doorknob. Ye Xiang also immediately reached into his pocket to grasp the high-heeled shoe. Even though using this high-heeled shoe now would result in a negative balance of life-saving tickets, preserving his life was more important. If it really came to it, they would find a way to earn more life-saving tickets to offset the negative balance!

Yu Chen, opened the door.

At that moment, both he and Ye Xiang, almost held their breath.

Behind the door...

There was no one.

The two of them finally relaxed and began to carefully examine the room before them.
