Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Dear patient, please tell me the truth about what happened that day.”
“I’ll help you with my psychological analysis later.”
Even though a month had passed, the detective would still break out in a cold sweat whenever he thought about it.
About a month and a half ago.
As usual, Detective Lin was looking for his following exploration material.
Through an online search, he found out that there was a wax museum in a city in the south that specialized in letting people experience the feeling of horror. It was called the most terrifying wax museum in history by the majority of his fans.
If someone could stay awake for a night inside, they would receive a reward of 100,000 yuan from the boss.
The wax museum had been open for two months, and the number of visitors had reached thousands.
The place had become an attraction for many influencers.
Brave young people from all walks of life and livestreamers would form groups to check it out.
It was a pity.
So far, no one has successfully survived the night.
They were either scared away in the middle of the night or fainted from fright.
“Dr. Chen, this was the situation at the beginning.”
“The more I look at it, the more interested I am. The reason why no one can succeed in the challenge must be because the owner has done something internally.
“It’s like setting up traps in a haunted house, or having the staff members play tricks.”
“He would create an atmosphere of terror to scare away the challengers.”
With this speculation, Detective Lin made the horrifying wax museum his next target.
It was a working day, raining heavily, and he was the only guest who went in to experience the night.
At this point, Detective Lin’s lips trembled.
“I’ve been to at least 80 or 100 eerie places, but I’ve never seen such a strange one.”
“The moment I entered, I was deeply shocked.”
The overnight stay lasted from nine o’clock in the evening to seven o’clock the next morning.
Detective Lin joined the army at the age of 18 and was in the special forces for 7 years.
No matter his courage or vision, they were far superior to ordinary people.
After entering the Horror Wax Museum, he observed the wax statues inside with interest.
The more he looked, the stranger he felt.
The wax statues were lifelike. Whether it was their skin or face, it was no different from a real person.
Other than that, he also smelled a faint stench inside.
The stench was very similar to that of a corpse.
Detective Lin had once smelled this scent in some special places.
At midnight, something unexpected happened.
Even though Detective Lin was usually bold and brave, he was so scared that he almost developed a cerebral hemorrhage.
It was called the Horror Wax Museum, but it was actually an abandoned factory.
A wax statue was bouncing towards him in the corner of the factory.
Immediately after, a few more wax statues moved to different degrees.
Some of the wax statues raised their hands, while others grinned at him.
“I’m not afraid of being laughed at by everyone. I was so scared that I almost peed my pants.”
“But the more 1 thought about it, those wax figures that suddenly moved might have some kind of mechanical mechanism inside.”
“They could be receiving a signal through some electronic device; the mechanism would then activate, making them move.”
“I’ve touched these wax figures before. There’s no body temperature on them, which proves that they weren’t human staff.”
“I originally wanted to dismantle a wax statue to find the power source and the mechanism, but 1 didn’t expect…”
Detective Lin suddenly stopped.
“Brother Lin, when did you learn to keep us in suspense?”
“Brother, why did you stop at such a time?”
“I’ll say it for him. I didn’t expect… there to be a place in the world that could make Detective Lin pee his pants.”
“Yo, just listening to it makes me feel excited! I want to go over and take a look when I’m on annual leave.”
“Oh, 1 remember the scary wax museum that Detective Lin mentioned. Many people have gone there.”
“The experience is great, and the money spent is worth it, but 1 won’t go there again.”
“Is the wax museum haunted?”
“Didn’t you hear what Detective Lin said? There are thousands of people who paid to enter the place. If there’s really a ghost, these people would have been in trouble long ago.”
“Hurry up and say what you want to say.”
Looking at the chat that kept urging him to continue, Detective Lin said helplessly, “Brothers, if I say I fainted from fear, will you laugh at me?” n 11
There was a short pause in the chat.
In the next second, a barrage of comments flooded the screen.
All of them were mocking him.
He was a fearless detective specializing in revealing urban legends and searching for terrifying areas.
The fact that there was a day where he would faint from fear was really hilarious.
Detective Lin knew that if he said that, he would definitely be ridiculed by chat.
But there was no other way.
In front of Chen Yu, he dared not speak anything but the truth.
“I planned to take hold of a wax figure to study it, but for some reason, 1 fainted.”
“When I woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.”
“After leaving the wax museum and returning home, I started having nightmares every day.”
“I can always dream of strange things, and 1 can even see all kinds of things that look like ghosts in the middle of the night.”
“That’s why I diagnosed myself online and felt that I was delusional.”
Detective Lin told everyone what had happened.
“By the way, Dr. Chen, since you’re all-knowing, can you help me read… 1 mean, analyze the wax statues in the Horror Wax Museum? What kind of mechanisms are being used?”
“What kind of material could make the wax statue look so lifelike and have the same skin as a real person?”
“What kind of chip is used for the internal electronic equipment?”
“How could they jump and laugh like living people?”
This question had been weighing on Detective Lin’s mind for some time, so he asked it aloud.
Chen Yu smiled. “Those wax statues don’t have any mechanisms, nor do they have the high-tech chips you think they have. They are real corpses.”
The detective felt his hair stand on end as soon as he heard that.
Corpses!
Did he just spend hours with dozens of corpses?
These corpses that could move like living people?
This was illogical!
“Dr. Chen, are you kidding me?”
Detective Lin nervously looked at Chen Yu.
It was true that he was not afraid of anything, but that did not mean he was not scared of ghosts.
If those statues could move on their own, weren’t they obviously haunted?
The unknown was the most terrifying.
The horror of the unknown could scare people half to death.
“I never joke,” Chen Yu said. “The wax statues you saw were all corpses.”
“As for why you fainted, it wasn’t because you were scared.”
“You were knocked out by one of the wax figures, or more accurately, by the harmful gas spat out by one of the corpses.”
“Under normal circumstances, these corpses won’t affect you much.”
“You have a certain degree of responsibility for the problem that has arisen in your body.”
“Did you throw something when you left the wax museum and arrived at the airport?”
