Chapter 0016 Don’t spend the night here
”The landlord is highly suspicious, but we can’t rule out other possibilities.” Chen Ge scratched his head, “If only I could find a tenant to ask.”
He had met a total of four people since he entered the apartment building: the woman hiding behind the doorway, Wang Qi who posted a missing person notice, the grumpy landlord, and the old man in a wheelchair.
”The old man lives with the landlord, so I’ll leave it aside for now, the woman on the first floor gives me a strange feeling, and that leaves Wang Qi who looks relatively normal, and he should know something about what’s going on in the apartment.” Chen Ge put the thermos inside, locked the door and walked towards the first floor.
The sound-activated lights were on, and just as Chen Ge arrived on the first floor, he saw Wang Qi walking through the corridors holding a missing person’s notice, and he stuffed a missing person’s notice into the doorway of the rented apartment, not caring whether or not there was anyone living inside.
This unusual behavior attracted the attention of Chen Ge, other people posting a missing person is to go to a crowded place, he is good, picking no one lives in the rental housing plug.
Chen Ge quietly followed behind Wang Qi, and waited until Wang Qi put the last missing person notice into the doorway before he opened his mouth, “Brother, I can understand the feeling of missing family members, but you should also be a little stronger, do not repeat these meaningless things to torture yourself.”
Hearing the voice, Wang Qi slowly turned around, his cloudy eyes seemingly never focused, “Understand? You won’t understand, and I never expect you to understand ……”
Chen Ge didn’t bullshit with him, took out his cell phone, and pulled up the missing person filing he made at the police station a few months ago, “I’m not lying to you, my parents suddenly disappeared half a year ago, and at the very beginning, I broke down and despaired.”
Seeing the photos saved in his cell phone, Wang Qi was silent, and only after a long time did he utter a sentence, “I sympathize with what you’re going through, but our situation is different, my fiancée will definitely come back, I can feel that she didn’t go too far away.”
”Can you tell me about you? We’re both at the same end of the world, maybe I can even help you out.” Chen Ge’s attitude was sincere, and what he said was from his heart.
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment, probably thinking of the fact that Chen Ge had also helped him pick up a missing person notice before, he looked at Chen Ge with a slightly eased gaze, “You can’t help me, seeing as you’re a nice person, listen to my advice, hurry up and leave, don’t ever spend the night here!”
”I’ve paid all the money, if you let me go, you have to say a reason.” Chen Ge came here in order to complete the trial mission, leaving now was the same as saying halfway through, and the Midnight Escape Terror Scene would never be unlocked.
”Is money important, or is life important?” Wang Qi glanced around and whispered after realizing that no one was around, “This apartment building has had a murder case before, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it.”
”I’ve also heard that this is a murder house, but I haven’t found any cases about it on the internet, so it should be a rumor.” Chen Ge voiced the question in his mind.
”In the past, this construction building was called Fu An Apartment, and it was only renamed Ping An Apartment after the incident. That case was quite a big deal back then, and the murderer hasn’t been caught until now, and the grievances of those who died in vain are hard to be pacified, so they will appear in the old mansion as soon as it’s late at night.” Wang Qi looked serious and spoke in a serious manner.
”What era is it now, you still believe in this?” Chen Ge smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth, in fact, he was more panicked than anyone else in his heart, the Monster in the Mirror, the Knightly Ghost of the Love Letter, he really didn’t want to get involved with more Ah Piao.
”I didn’t believe it at first either, until later, when my fiancée strangely disappeared in this neighborhood.” He pulled his hair painfully, the exhaustion on his body could not be concealed at all.
”Why did your fiancée come to this place?” Chen Ge’s attention was instantly focused, the speaker had no intention of listening, Wang Qi’s fiancée’s situation was somewhat similar to his parents’ situation.
”I don’t know, in fact I’ve never heard of this apartment building before, or the police told me about it, they said that all the clues were interrupted here.” Wang Qi let go of his hand, there were still a few hairs between his fingers, “I also had no choice but to come here to look.”
”Then did you find anything?” Chen Ge was very curious.
Wang Qi opened his mouth and seemed to have thought of something, he didn’t dare to say it, took out his cell phone from his clothes pocket and typed a line on the screen.
”My fiancée seems to have been kidnapped by someone in this apartment!”
Seeing the words on the cell phone, Chen Ge was a little surprised, things didn’t go quite the way he imagined, “Bro, missing and kidnapping are two concepts.”
Wang Qi signaled Chen Ge to keep his voice down as he blocked the passageway with his back and clicked on his cell phone mailbox for Chen Ge to view.
Originally, he just casually glanced at it, but when Chen Ge saw the text messages in the mailbox clearly, his eyes slowly widened.
Wang Qi’s cell phone mailbox contained a text message from her fiancée!
The content of the text message was only two words – save me, and what was even stranger was that the text message was sent at around 2:00 a.m. yesterday.
”A person who is supposed to be missing sends you a distress text message in the middle of the night?” After surviving the initial shock, Chen Ge quickly calmed down, “Since you received the text message, why didn’t you just call the police? Your fiancée is obviously still alive.”
”You may not believe me when I say this, I receive a text message from my fiancée every day after midnight in the wee hours of the morning, and the content of the text message is all about these two words. And the most crucial thing is that whenever I wake up with a sleep, the text message will disappear, as if it never happened.” Wang Qi pointed to the blood in his eyes, “In order to keep this SMS, I haven’t closed my eyes for twenty-four hours.”
”Once you fall asleep, the text message will disappear?” It was the first time Chen Ge had heard such a thing.
”I know you’re afraid that you think I’m crazy too, but all I’m saying is the truth.” Wang Qi leaned against the wall and put his cell phone away, “There are even weirder things that often happen around me, let’s say that my fiancée’s things would somehow appear in my house without any signs, it’s like she’s reminding me to go forward and look for her every now and then.”
After listening to Wang Qi’s last sentence, Chen Ge’s eyelids fluttered.
According to his experience in the past few days, his fiancée was not missing, but had been killed and turned into a ghost and was back to haunt him, and that was the only way to explain it. Of course, this all presupposed that he wasn’t lying.
”My fiancée disappeared in this apartment building, and my life changed because of this apartment, this is a murderous mansion, it is inhabited by lone souls who died in vain, all those who presume to come close will be tainted with the unsettling, you’d better hurry up and leave.” Seemingly because of the reason that he hadn’t said so many words for a long time, Wang Qi’s face was a little pale.
