Opening the door to the room, Eddie poked his head out of the room and checked the hallway to see if the creatures were still there.

(Eddie): "The hallway is clear, we can leave now"

After telling everyone in the room that they could leave, Eddie left the room followed by Sara, Donald and Steven.

(Eddie): "Well, what are we going to do now?"

(Steven Price): "We will follow the original plan. We will go to the video and monitoring room to check the current situation of the house. Come with me"

Agreeing with Steven's suggestion, the group followed him as they left the premises.

******

Under Steven's leadership, the group passed through several corridors until they reached a small alley with a door at the end of it.

(Steven Price): "It's here"

Stopping the group in front of the door, Steven pulled a roll of keys from his pocket and used one of the keys to unlock the door before opening it.

tic!

Crrrr!

Unlocking the lock, Steven opened the door and entered while the rest of the group followed him.

Upon entering the room, the group came across a small place, where there were some electronic devices that were connected with several cables, which led to a set of televisions, which did not transmit images because they were off the air.

And in front of these televisions was the operator who was sitting in a swivel chair with his back to the group that had entered the video and monitoring room.

(Steven Price): "Schecter!"

Upon noticing the operator Steven called out his name but received no response.

(Steven Price): "Schecter?!"

Finding the operator's lack of reaction strange, Steven approached him and touched his shoulder before turning him towards him.

(Sara): "Aah!"

(Eddie): "Wow!"

When the operator faced them, the group jumped. Because there was a huge hole in the operator's face area that revealed the entire inside of the head, which was completely empty.

After everyone took a step back in fright. The group noticed that the television screens went completely black with several pairs of eyes poking out of their dark background.

Terrified, the group stood still for a moment before regaining their senses and running out of the room as darkness slowly enveloped the room they were in.

******

Facing a half-finished wall, the ghost rider looked into the large hole in the wall and saw that it led to a small hidden hallway with a single rusty iron door at the end of it.

Entering the hallway through the hole, the ghost rider walked over to the rusted iron door, before facing it and lifting one of his fingers.

Ssss!

When he lifted one of his fingers, a small flame formed at the tip of it.

And then the ghost rider used his finger to tap the flame against the rusty iron door.

Ssssss!

By touching the flame to the door a small hole formed in it, before expanding and consuming the entire door. Revealing a dark room with wreckage and ash from corpses strewn all over the walls of the room.

Stepping into the room, the ghost rider peered inside until he noticed a black mist forming on the wall in front of him.

Gathering in the center of the wall, the black mist assumed a humanoid form covered in a translucent cloak that reflected the hundreds of dying faces of the people who died there.

"""Intruder, you are not welcome here""": Said the ghosts in overlapping voices.

(Ghosts): """This place and the sacrifices that are in it all belong to Lucifer, the king of hell. But because of him some of these sacrifices escaped. Which left our lord very dissatisfied, to the point that he doesn't want his existence to remain in this place. So, we order you to withdraw"""

Producing a short chain in his hand, the ghost rider turned it into a rifle. Before pointing the weapon at the entity in front of it.

(Ghost Rider): "What if I don't want to leave?"

(Ghosts): "...There will be consequences"

Baam!

Triggering the rifle, the projectile flew towards the unknown entity, passing through it, before hitting the wall behind it. Blowing up the wall and the unknown entity at the same time.

Boom!

When the wall exploded, a large amount of ash was scattered throughout the room. Leaving the place barely visible for a few seconds.

After the ash in the air dissipated, the ghost rider saw the huge hole that had formed in the wall he had destroyed.

Wiping the ashes from his shoulders the ghost rider walked to the hole before entering it and finding himself in a new hidden room.

And in the center of the room was an organic plinth with a dark figurine attached to it.

Looking around, the ghost rider saw that the floor, ceiling, and walls of the room were completely organic.

(Ghost Rider): "Really, this house is disgusting"

Giving a small sigh, the ghost rider glanced towards the figurine before pointing his rifle towards it.

Recharge!

Baam!

As he pulled the trigger, a projectile flew from the barrel of the rifle towards the dark figurine.

But when it hit the figurine the projectile split in two, passing through the figurine and hitting the wall behind it.

Boom! Boom!

Upon seeing what had happened, the ghost rider was surprised. Until he noticed the voice of a man next to him.

(???): "Magnificent, isn't it?"

Looking towards the voice, the ghost rider saw a man in a white coat standing a few feet away from him, looking towards the figurine that was in the center of the room. But upon looking at his face, the ghost rider immediately identified him as Dr. Richard Vanacutt.

(Dr. Richard Vanacutt): "This idol was forged in the fires of hell, using the ashes of sinners as the base material for its forge. And Lucifer, the one who created him, gave this idol as a gift to his most faithful subjects on earth, so that they would feed him with beliefs and sacrifices. Until He reaches..."

Recharge!

Baam!

Firing a shot at Vanacutt, the ghost rider easily turned him to ash. Before walking to the center of the room and grabbing the idol with his right hand.

Grabbing the idol in his hand, the ghost rider ripped it off the pedestal. Before squeezing it with his right hand.

Applying a thousand-pound grip, the ghost rider held the idol firmly. Making the item release some strange noises, before starting to produce small discharges of energy due to friction caused by the rider's hand grip.

Barroom!

Releasing a massive amount of Light, along with a thunderous sound. The idol repelled the rider's hand, before falling to the ground and rolling to a nearby wall.

Barroom! Barroom! Barroom!

As it approached the wall, the idol released three large bursts of purple rays on three of the four walls of that room.

Thumb! Thumb! Thumb!

Hearing a pulsing noise from the walls hit, the ghost rider looked at them and saw three huge lumps growing on the walls.

rip! rip! rip!

Tearing the pits from the walls, three seven-foot-tall, muscular Baphomets leapt out of the pits, each carrying a giant double-edged axe.

(Baphomets): """Béééé!"""

(Ghost Rider): "Oh, what a headache"
