Chapter 0209: Why were you there again?
Losing its bindings, the white shadow fell backwards, it was fast.
”Don’t run!”
Rarely seizing the opportunity, how could Chen Ge watch it slip away, lifting his sword and rushing towards the White Shadow.
Without the woman’s manipulation, the breath on the White Shadow grew weaker and weaker, its face became more blurry, and its body gradually became transparent.
The creature felt threatened, it scurried over to the black suitcase and rolled up something from inside, then grabbed the door and left.
Chen Ge didn’t see what the White Shadow took, he just felt that since the two sides were in an antagonistic relationship, what the White Shadow wanted to take away, he must leave behind.
The Pig Killing Knife did limited damage to the White Shadow, Chen Ge was very decisive and targeted his attack on the thing that the White Shadow had taken away.
He saw the opportunity to slash out and grabbed the thing in the White Shadow’s hand as he dodged.
In the scramble, the thing was torn open, half a page of white paper fluttered to the ground, and the White Shadow couldn’t be bothered to pick it up and hurriedly ran out of the living room.
Chen Ge directly chased to the door, there was nothing in the dark corridor, he thought very rationally, the tape stern ghost is not around, he is really not necessarily the opponent of the white shadow.
Without going after it, Chen Ge closed the security door and turned on the lights in the living room, the scene in the house made his eyelids jump wildly.
On the cold floor, the woman’s limbs were twisted into strange shapes, her eyes bulging outwards, screaming loudly, but her bare face revealed an expression that Chen Ge could not understand.
It was like pain, relief, and a hint of joy.
”Does it hurt?”
What to do with the crazy woman was a matter for the Tape Knight, Chen Ge’s task was just to find this woman and help the Tape Knight fulfill his heart’s desire.
He turned around and picked up the half page of white paper that had fallen on the ground.
Looking like an advertising flyer, the half that depicted the specifics was taken away by the white shadow, and the half page that Chen Ge got only had four red words and a small introduction.
”Weird Tales Association? Telling a true weird story every week?”
This half-page advertising flyer caught Chen Ge’s attention, not only because the White Shadow was going to take this away in the end, but more importantly, the background of this advertising flyer’s accompanying picture was a half-open blood-red room door!
”About the world behind the door?”
The ad sheet belonged to the crazy woman in Ward 2, who had herself entered the door to Ward 3.
”Could it have been created by those escaped mental illnesses? And what’s the point of telling a weird story every week?” Looking at the crude advertising flyer and inexplicable synopsis, Chen Ge felt that it was those heavy-handed scamming advertisements on the poles that were much more heartfelt.
”It has to be about real weird stories, so what happens when you make up some fake ones? And how would they go about identifying the real ones?” Chen Ge put away the half-page of advertisement paper and pondered that if he were to tell about his experiences during this time, he would probably be able to shock a lot of people out of their wits. Of course, this was only limited to people, Chen Ge was very self-aware, and he knew in his heart that if all of his listeners were ghosts, then it was not certain who would scare who.
The screams in the room slowly stopped, replaced by a mechanically repeated woman’s voice.
”It hurts ……”
”The woman was put on tape?” Chen Ge walked to the woman’s side, her gaze was dull and lost its color, as if her soul had been drawn out.
He wasn’t sure what the Tape Knight had done to the crazy woman, it was the Tape Knight’s own business.
Placing the crazy woman on the sofa, Chen Ge turned off the tape recorder, and at the same time he pressed the switch, his black cell phone gently vibrated.
Sliding the screen, a new message appeared.
”Successfully fulfilled Xu Yin’s heart’s desire, his impression of you has greatly improved, is Xu Yin hired to become a member of the House of Horrors?”
”The goodwill quest is completed this way?” The strength of the Tape Knight Ghost could be much more powerful than Pen Fairy, but recalling that mission of hiring Pen Fairy, this mission was already very thrilling.
”Whether or not to hire Xu Yin? Failure to make a choice within twenty-four hours will be considered automatic abandonment.”
”Yes!” Chen Ge clicked the screen, the excitement in his heart was hard for normal people to appreciate.
”Lucky Knight Ghost Favored One, congratulations on successfully hiring the special kind of Knight Ghost – Xu Yin.”
”Xu Yin (Knight Ghost): he possesses a very unique voice (can briefly control residual thoughts and interfere with other Knight Ghosts, ineffective against Red Clothes, can only be used once a week).”
”Note: The screams of tourists will excite Xuyin, and feeding on the fears of tourists can make Xuyin’s abilities stronger. If Xuyin is depressed for a long time, he may leave you.”
After reading the information, Chen Ge was generally satisfied with Xu Yin, this guy was a special kind of Lil’ Ghost with his own special abilities just like Pen Fairy.
”Not bad, I’ll be able to add another card when I go on trial missions in the future.” Taking the tape out of the recorder, Chen Ge put it together with the ballpoint pen, “The only drawback is that the Tape Knight Ghost only seems to appear when it’s playing, so it looks like I need to go to the yard sale to get a Walkman.”
After finishing his business, Chen Ge remembered that there was still a “victim” lying in the bathroom.
He ran into the bathroom and found that Gu Feiyu in the bathtub had completely fainted.
”This kid is probably scared enough.” Chen Ge dragged Gu Feiyu out of the bathtub, covered him with his security uniform, wrapped the pig-killing knife and hid it in the bottom of his backpack, and then sat down at the scene to wait for Team Li to arrive.
Twenty minutes later, Team Li arrived along with the head of the neighborhood property.
In order to prevent the disorder from expanding, they didn’t make too much noise.
”Chen Ge!” As soon as they entered, Team Li saw Chen Ge sitting in the middle of the room, “You’re not hurt, are you? Where’s the suspect?”
”Already tied up, the victim is the security guard, who is now in an unconscious state.”
Team Li entered the house and frowned after examining the scene, he glanced at Chen Ge, “The female is the murderer? The male is the victim?”
”That’s right.”
”Then why were you at the scene? And what role did you play?”
”I …… “Chen Ge was in a hurry, “By coincidence, there is a girl on the fourteenth floor who suffers from depression, and I’m the one who cured her. Tonight I mainly came to see how she’s recovering, so if you don’t believe me, you can go upstairs and ask.”
”So you inadvertently crashed this murder case?”
”It can be interpreted that way.” After Chen Ge finished speaking, he realized that the gazes of the several police officers looking at him had changed: “Really, it was just an accidental discovery.”
”You don’t have to say it, I believe it.” Team Li waved towards the people behind them, “Ah Yong, go call an ambulance, first send the victim to the hospital for treatment and examination. A few of you come over to collect fingerprints, don’t move the drinks on the table, women don’t have the advantage of physical strength, murders usually use poisoning and other methods, pay attention to protecting the scene.”
Team Li was experienced, and with just a general glance, he surmised part of the case.
Chen Ge stood silently next to him, not saying a word, he was still holding the half page of advertising paper in his hand.
