I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 284: Stupidity and smartness, a perfect match
Jenny was so sad that she couldn't even remember what Tessa said to her before she died.

She just nodded absentmindedly, and subconsciously raised her hand to hold her boyfriend Alex's hand, but when the hand touched her, she pulled back as if she had been electrocuted.

Jenny turned around suddenly, and the man behind her was the same as always.

But that hand was clearly as cold as ice.

"Don't give up hope, see."

Alex used the feeble light from his camera to illuminate the graffiti-covered map.

"As long as you go through the underground passage, you will reach the operating room where the ghost of the dean is in the movie. And after the operating room, there is a red door that allows you to leave here."

"Didn't Lance say that before? That's the only door to leave here."

The news of leaving the hospital gave Jenny hope.

She put Tessa's body down, stood up, and followed Alex beside her.

They seemed to be luckier than Lance and his friends. This time the underground passage did not loop around like before, making it impossible to escape.

After walking for a while, I saw the operating room at the end.

"my God……"

There are photos and materials of human experiments randomly placed in front of you, and strange organs soaked in glass jars.

There were also blood-stained iron hooks and many torture instruments.

Only when you see it with your own eyes can you feel the horrible chill.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Voices came from not far away. Alex and Jenny turned around and saw a nurse in white pushing an operating table towards them.

There are no living people in Collingwood.

The nurse walked, the skin occasionally exposed under her clothes was as gray as a corpse.

Seeing this, Alex immediately took Jenny to find a closet to hide.

Even though she had a place to hide, Jenny couldn't help but gasp for breath and felt dizzy due to fear.

She had no time to take care of her own body, she just wanted to calm down this disobedient and noisy body.

The sound of heartbeats is too loud in this dead and eerie area, and there is a risk of being discovered by ghosts at any time.

Fortunately, Alex covered her mouth and helped her regulate her breathing.

Through the gap in the cabinet, the two saw the lit operating light and the true face of the patient lying on the bed.

"That is……!"

The familiar face made Jenny unable to control herself and speak.

The person lying on the operating table was not the good friend who had been with them all the way, but the mysterious young man who helped them get in here.

At this moment, his eyes were dull and he was mumbling unconsciously as if he was dreaming.

He wore a numbered bracelet on his wrist and a mental hospital gown. It was obvious that he had been assimilated into this place and became a "patient" who was at the mercy of others.

The scene of the young man casually ending the life of a fierce ghost was still vivid in his mind, but who could have thought that in the blink of an eye he would be pushed onto the operating table by the ghost doctors and nurses here.

Even he is powerless to resist?
Can we still escape then?

Sadness and despair filled Jenny's heart irresistibly.
"We...we..."

"Shh!"

Alex seemed to be worried that Jenny was emotionally unstable and might behave irrationally, so he tried to comfort her immediately.

But the following scene made Jenny completely lose control!

Dean Frank used a scalpel to cut open the young man's brain and removed his white matter.

And as if he thought this method was not enough, he directly used the instrument to completely crush the young man's brain!
During the process, they can even see the whole scene of the squirming brain turning into a mass of paste!

Such a shocking scene made Jenny unable to suppress the fear in her heart any longer, and she let out a sound.

It was at this moment that all the evil spirits, including Frank, turned their heads towards the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, a nurse with a pale face and no pupils appeared in front of the closet where the two were hiding, and opened her mouth and let out a scream!
The powerful force blew the entire wardrobe away, and Alex and Jenny, who were inside, were hit and fell out, spitting blood.

Even though there were no wounds on the surface, the vibration caused by the heavy hitting of the wardrobe still hurt Jenny's internal organs.

She now felt as if her chest was being torn apart by pain.

The many evil spirits chasing after her forced her to stand up.

But with their speed, how could they defeat the evil spirit?

Dense ghost shadows came from all directions. These medical staff who had once assisted the evil looked even more twisted and terrifying than the previous patients.

At this moment, the wall on one side suddenly shattered!

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, the figure "fell" from the side, then turned around and landed steadily on the ground.

The moment the numerous ghosts saw clearly who was coming, they all took a step back.

Jenny looked up, and the confusion in her eyes was replaced by disbelief.

"You, you are not..."

The person who appeared in front of them was the young man who had been sent to the operating table before.

But it was clear that his brain was smashed and he became a corpse.

Before Jenny could figure out what was going on, Alex pulled her up.

"Run away!"

Alex's tone was very urgent, and he pulled her all the way to a door.

After entering, the former turned around and closed the door. After a while, when he opened it again, there was an empty room behind the door.

There is endless emptiness and deep darkness like a vast sea.

There is only a red door in the middle, giving off a weird atmosphere.

Jenny knew that was the door Alex had talked about, the way to escape from the mental hospital.

"We can just go back through the gate."

Alex's voice was full of joy.

"Jenny, we did it."

Jenny subconsciously walked towards the door and put down the many devices she had been holding.

Just as she was about to step in...

"I see, you have already made a deal with the devil."

A voice came from behind, and both Jenny and Alex shuddered.

The two looked back at the same time, and saw that the mysterious young man had stood behind them at some point.

His eyes were cold, with an indescribable indifference, and he just stared at Alex quietly.

Jenny turned her head, her eyes full of confusion.

How did this young man escape from being besieged by evil spirits? And how did he catch up with them quickly and get here without a map?

But before that, there is another problem.

"What you mean by making a deal with the devil is..."

"Don't believe what he says!"

Before Jenny could finish her sentence, she was interrupted and questioned.

Alex stood in front of Jenny, looking at the young man with hostility in his eyes.

"He's the one behind it all."

"What nonsense are you talking about... He is here to save us!"

"Save us? Don't forget who sent us to this damn place in the first place!"

"Just now, the group of evil spirits stopped attacking after seeing him. Doesn't this prove that this guy is abnormal?!"

Alex pointed at the young man's shadow.

"There is a terrifying devil lurking in his shadow!" Jenny was stunned when these words came out.

"but……"

"Camera... go look at the camera..."

Upon hearing this, Jenny immediately took out the camera from Alex's backpack.

Since she began her escape, she has not cared about these devices anymore, and she has no idea what is recorded in them.

As the LCD screen lit up, the image of the young man with a dark ghost shadow appeared before her eyes.

That horrifying look and the unusual feeling of oppression, just the picture of it, was enough to terrify Jenny!
The monster transformed from the black fog randomly killed many survivors in hospital gowns and dismembered them.

The body parts were eventually swallowed up by the black fog, leaving nothing behind.

The young man watched all this from beginning to end, without any ripple on his face, and even had a faint smile on his face.

"Do you...have anything to explain?"

She looked at the young man and asked with difficulty.

no answer.

Jenny met the young man’s eyes.

The calm look in his eyes remained the same as always, but she could clearly read in it a kind of arrogance that disdained explanation, as well as an indifference that disregarded human life.

Yes.

A guy who can raise ghosts to kill people will certainly not have any intention of making excuses.

In his eyes, everyone is just food.

Jenny's eyes repeatedly moved between the young man and Alex.

Finally, she stood firmly behind her boyfriend, watching the young man's movements with full vigilance.

"Come with me and kill him."

Alex spoke in front of Jenny, and there was no joking in his tone.

"Only by destroying him can we leave here."

"it is good."

Jenny pulled a steel pipe out of her bag.

Struggling to survive in this horrific mental hospital, she is no longer the weak woman who does not know how to resist and can only scream.

Now the culprit was right before her eyes.

For the companions who died tragically here, and more importantly, for the chance to escape from here.

Jenny is determined to fight the devil in front of her together with Alex!

On the opposite side, the young man smiled, and the curve of his mouth was full of sarcasm and mockery.

She rushed forward, yelling as she raised the steel pipe in her hand and was about to swing it hard at the young man's head!
But the next second, Jenny was stunned.

The young man in front of her suddenly appeared in front of her and put a finger at her throat.

At this moment, the fear of death made Jenny's body seem to be petrified and unable to move!

That finger seemed to be able to pierce her neck and take her life at any time.

Even though she knew this was against common sense, Jenny didn't dare to move at all.

The next second, Jenny felt a pain in her chest.

A mouthful of blood spit out and fell on the pale ghost claw that pierced his heart.

The young man in front of him seemed not to have expected this and was also pierced through the upper abdomen.

There was a crazy laugh behind him, and the ghost claws were pulled out, bringing out pieces of internal organs and large amounts of blood.

Jenny and the young man fell to the ground together, and their lifeless eyes reflected a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

It is completely unrecognizable and there is no trace of its former appearance, but the necklace hanging around its neck is enough to prove its identity.

[Don't...believe...Alex...]

Before she died, Jenny finally remembered Tessa's last words.

But it was too late. She had no time to regret and her consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

……

“What a perfect ending.”

Alex's voice came from the monster's mouth.

It licked the blood from its claws.

Then he raised his head, looked around, and spoke loudly to a being that did not exist in front of him.

"I've done it, collected all the footage, killed all the people."

"Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise and let me go out and spread this despair and curse!"

The red door opened wide, and the strong white light inside was so irritating that Alex couldn't open his eyes.

He walked out of the door holding a series of equipment, and his body returned to its original appearance under the sunlight.

After stepping out of the door, there is an endless grassland in front of you.

Turning his head and looking behind him, the red gate collapsed, turned into powder, and was blown away by the wind, disappearing completely.

He pulled some grass from the ground, wiped the bloody camera clean, and took off his bloodstained coat and threw it away.

After leaving the hospital, he caught a ride on the road and went home to put all the footage together and edit it into a standard documentary.

He then found the distributor of the first "Graveyard Encounter" and handed the completed documentary to him.

The other party tacitly did not ask where the documentary came from, and Alex also changed his previous tone.

At the film's release special, he claimed that everything about Collingwood was just fake marketing.

Going on an adventure is just a waste of time.

However, this has attracted many explorers and mystery-solving programs, who have tirelessly gone there to investigate.

But that has nothing to do with Alex.

He rose to fame by filming "Grave Encounter 2" and realized his dream to become a famous Hollywood director with constant film offers.

As for his former good friends and Jenny, they had long been thrown into the corner of his memory.

Alex, who enjoyed fame and fortune, lived a perfect life.

He lived a life of debauchery, moving around among many powerful and famous people day and night.

Until his aging body could no longer withstand daily activities and he was pushed into the operating room.

But the lighting in this hospital doesn't seem to be that good.

Alex is old and his eyes are already cloudy.

He forced his eyes open, and after adjusting to the light, he finally saw the surrounding furnishings clearly.

At this moment, the old body suddenly twisted wildly.

Surrounding him were ghost nurses with pale faces.

The normal operating table now has restraints to fix the body.

A male doctor came up to him, and in front of his fearful eyes, he took a scalpel and forcibly cut open his brain...

……

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Roars filled with fear and pain spread throughout the dark area.

Alex covered his brain and fell to the ground, his body arched and twitching, white foam constantly coming out of his mouth.

But soon, he bit off his tongue and blood kept oozing out from between his teeth.

"Stupidity and smart-assery, a perfect match."

From above, the young man's voice floated over, full of mockery.
