Chapter 0063 – Someone in the House
”Sister-in-law is quite concerned about you.”
”That’s for sure.” Team Li put the cell phone away and suddenly felt a little awkward, “What kind of seniority are you? Calling me uncle and asking my daughter-in-law to call you sister-in-law?”
He said for half a day and no one answered, only to look back and realize that Chen Ge had already fallen asleep.
The police car drove directly to the entrance of the New Century Paradise, Chen Ge was woken up by Team Li, and got out of the car with his bag on his back in a daze.
”Pay attention to safety! Zhang Peng hasn’t been caught yet, and with the way things are going, that outlaw is psychologically twisted, and it’s likely that he’ll do whatever it takes to get back at you.” Team Li instructed uneasily.
”Got it.” At the mention of Zhang Peng, Chen Ge sobered up a bit, he waved his hand at Team Li and entered the middle of New Century Paradise.
The old man watching the door had long been asleep, and Chen Ge walked in through the front door without the other party noticing in the slightest.
”Tonight’s harvest is still quite a lot, the favorability quest is complete, I can make a request to Zhang Ya that isn’t too much, it’s just that asking her to help me get rid of the monster in the mirror would be a bit too wasteful?” Chen Ge took out his black cell phone and opened Zhang Ya’s exclusive page, and the favorability level had already been upgraded from “Love with Love” to “Not Yours”.
”I’m going to study this and try to maximize this opportunity.” Chen Ge didn’t exit the page, so he just took his cell phone and pushed open the haunted house guardrail and entered it.
”When I have money in the future, I can go outside and rent a house to live in, it always feels weird to keep sleeping inside the staff lounge.” Chen Ge walked on the long dark corridor, he was familiar with every part of this haunted house, even if he didn’t turn on the lights, he wouldn’t run into anything.
”Zee.”
As he passed the first floor bathroom, the wooden door seemed to be blown by the wind and let out a soft sound.
The bathroom door was not sturdy to begin with, and that day it had been slammed by Chen Ge with a hammer, and the door panels were all deformed.
He tried to close the door tightly, and while shaking the door panel, he suddenly saw that the bathroom window was half open.
”I forgot to close the window when I left the haunted house?”
The sky outside was already flooded with bright light, Chen Ge stood at the window and checked, there were no shoe prints or anything like that on the window sill: “Have I been too nervous lately?”
Chen Ge casually grabbed the mop next to the cabinet and walked towards the surveillance room in the deepest part of the corridor, the haunted house had re-installed the surveillance, which basically covered all the corners, and only needed a simple check to determine if anyone had come in.
Pushing open the door of the surveillance room, Chen Ge sat in front of the desk and opened the computer.
The surveillance videos were all saved inside, Chen Ge first found the surveillance probe number at the bathroom door and opened the video.
He only checked it out of caution, but after watching it for a few minutes, Chen Ge suddenly realized that a strange man appeared in the surveillance video!
The man had his head down, and after coming out of the bathroom, he quickly ran into the corridor.
”Someone really came in, now there’s another person hiding in the house of horrors besides me!” Chen Ge’s sleepiness was gone, “This person seems to know that there is a surveillance at the bathroom entrance, he is very purposeful, he directly ran into the depths of the corridor, he must have entered the horror house before.”
There were several surveillance in the corridor, after the strange man disappeared from the surveillance video at the bathroom door, Chen Ge found the number of the next surveillance probe, which was located at the corner of the corridor, and the shooting screen and the surveillance screen at the bathroom door could be seamlessly connected.
The screen switched, and the video showed the strange man running into the depths of the corridor before rushing straight into the surveillance room.
”Coming straight to the surveillance room is definitely for destroying the surveillance video, this person is not only a veteran, he also knows the location of each room in my haunted house like the back of his hand.”
There weren’t many people who could fulfill both of these points, Chen Ge had already roughly locked down a range, but just as he was about to sift through it even further, he suddenly saw himself appearing in the surveillance video.
”Carrying a bag, holding a mop and a black cell phone, that strange man hasn’t gone out yet, I’ve already walked in, so …… he’s in the surveillance room at this time!” The moment he saw himself in the surveillance video, Chen Ge immediately grabbed the mop next to him and turned back violently!
The utility cabinet more than two meters away from him had just been pushed open, and a man with a sharp knife and bloodshot eyes was drilling out of it!
”Zhang Peng!”
Upon seeing the man’s distorted face, Chen Ge directly shouted out, and probably stimulated by Chen Ge’s voice, Zhang Peng backhanded the knife and rushed towards him like a madman.
After surviving the initial panic, Chen Ge quickly calmed down, he opened the door of the surveillance room, waved the mop and retreated.
Although Zhang Peng only had one working hand, he was fighting with total desperation, this person also seemed to know that he couldn’t escape, and appeared here so that he could pull a cushion before he died.
Chen Ge dodged left and right, moving towards the repair room, he seemed to be in a mess, but in reality, his thoughts were clear.
Zhang Peng was here to fight for his life, it was useless to just run away, he had to fight back. It was difficult to injure him with just the mop in his hand, so Chen Ge thought of Dr. Cranium Breaker’s hammer, which he had previously hidden in the repair room because he was afraid of causing misunderstandings with the police.
The attack was getting more and more fierce, Zhang Peng seemed to have seen through Chen Ge’s plan, he didn’t dodge at all and let the mop hit his body, just to get closer to Chen Ge.
Soon Chen Ge arrived at the door of the repair room, he saw a gap and pushed open the door of the repair room, before he could enter it, he felt something more on his body, as if he was carrying a stone.
”You’re dead today!”
Zhang Peng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth, a hint of color returned to his eyes, and his swinging of the sword became much more flexible.
”What’s going on? Was the monster in the mirror manipulating Zhang Peng just now? Then where did the monster go now?”
The movement became more and more sluggish, Chen Ge reached for his back but touched nothing, his spine was bent and when he twisted his head to look back, he realized that a black shadow that was about the size of an adult was lying on his back!
”Monster in the mirror!”
Panic flickered under his eyes as Chen Ge moved forward with all his might, crashing into the repair room as he made a desperate dash for the cabinet that housed the miscellaneous items.
”Now is not the time to give up, Zhang Peng and the black shadow are one and the same, I just need to waste Zhang Peng with a hammer to break the game!”
As if a small mountain was pressing on his back, Chen Ge had clearly underestimated the growth speed of the black shadow, and compared to when he first encountered it, the monster had become extremely difficult to deal with.
A suffocating sensation came from his neck, the weight on his back was still increasing, and the laughter belonging to different people could be heard in his ears, the already tired Chen Ge couldn’t hold on just as he reached the cabinet.
His brain was dizzy and his ears were buzzing, Chen Ge didn’t need to turn around to know that Zhang Peng had already rushed in with his sword.
The monster on his back pressed Chen Ge to death, he used all his strength to open the cabinet door, and was about to rummage through a pile of clutter to find the hammer when the black cell phone in his pocket fell out, the screen still stuck on Zhang Ya’s exclusive page.
