Chapter 0115 Room 303

　　The streetlights pulled Chen Ge’s shadow long, there was not a single person on the street, and occasionally you could see stray cats running past the garbage cans, making OO@@ sounds.

　　”At the back of a busy downtown, there’s actually a quiet neighborhood like this.” Chen Ge walked through the middle of the dark buildings and walked along the narrow cement road to the deepest part of the residential area.

　　A faint stench wafted through the air, and the garbage cans along the roadside hadn’t been cleaned out for a long time, with various kinds of household garbage in plastic bags piled up, and things running out of them from time to time.

　　Compared to the previous buildings, the building in front of Chen Ge looked a bit more dilapidated, the walls on the first floor were stained with various kinds of stains, and the entrance to the building had a lot of miscellaneous objects placed on it.

　　”Found it.” Chen Ge looked at the six-story apartment building in front of him, the advertisement outside the residential area said that this was the place.

　　”The mission site posted by the black cell phone is room 303 on the third floor, Men Nan should be living there.” Chen Ge looked at the time, six minutes short of 8:00 p.m.: “When Dr. Gao arrives, it might be a bit inconvenient, so I’ll go in first to find out the situation.”

　　He didn’t call Dr. Gao and directly entered the building.

　　The floor was very low, probably only about two meters one on the first floor, the guardrail was made of iron, and at every distance, there was a red rope wrapped around it, and it was not known what it was for.

　　Entering it, Chen Ge smelled a strange odor. It was very faint and not a stench, people who were used to living there would even slowly ignore the odor, Chen Ge was also more sensitive because it was his first time here.

　　”It’s kind of like the odor emanating from rancid rice.” Chen Ge stopped at the first floor, he tried to look for the source of the odor, but there was no luck, the smell was like the apartment building itself emanating, soaking into every wall brick.

　　There were no lights in the hallway, so Chen Ge took out his cell phone to illuminate it.

　　There were four families living on the first floor, making it very crowded, and the soundproofing of the building was not good, so you could clearly hear the quarrels inside.

　　Gently, Chen Ge came to the third floor, he did not venture to knock on the door of 303, but first stood outside the door and listened to the sound inside the house.

　　The third floor of the four families, 301 in the TV sound on loud; 302 in a man on the phone, his mood is not very stable, Chen Ge can hear him repeat the most two words are – you do not force me anymore, you want to force me to death?

　　303, 304 two rooms, on the other hand, there is no sound, very quiet.

　　After two or three minutes, Chen Ge gently knocked on the door of room 303, interestingly enough, he just knocked on the door of room 303.

　　The TV in 301 immediately turned down the sound, and the man in 302 didn’t seem to be on the phone, so the whole third floor was suddenly quiet.

　　Chen Ge knocked outside the door for a minute, the door of the room still didn’t open, he had doubts in his heart and shouted in a low voice, “Men Nan? At home?”

　　No one responded, and just as Chen Ge was wondering if he was mistaken, the door to room 301 opened.

　　A very scruffy middle-aged man slumped on the doorframe, and a thick odor of alcohol emanated from him, “Hey! Who are you looking for?”

　　”Men Nan of 303, he’s a student of Jiujiang Medical University, I heard that he hasn’t been feeling too well lately, so I’ve come to take a look at him.”

　　”You’re looking for the wrong person, I don’t know who Men Nan is, but he definitely doesn’t live in 303.” The man scratched his face, the left side of his face seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito and had scratched the skin.

　　”But my friend told me that he lives in this room.” Chen Ge wanted to get words out of the middle-aged man’s mouth, “Besides, you don’t know Men Nan, so why can you be sure that he doesn’t live in this room.”

　　”303 People have died, this house hasn’t been rented out since the accident, why do you think?” The middle-aged man put his hand in front of his eyes and looked at the blood remaining on his fingertips, he scratched the wound even more, “Stop knocking on 303’s door, do you hear me? What bad luck.”

　　After saying this, the middle-aged man closed the door to his room, but Chen Ge noticed that the sound of the TV in the house was not turned up, and this middle-aged man probably didn’t leave, but was hiding in the doorway watching his every move.

　　Chen Ge didn’t bother knocking on the door again, he had already obtained a very important clue from the man – 303 had died, and the room had never been rented out since the incident.

　　The mission site that the black cell phone was talking about had been found, and now the key was to figure out how to get in there and check it out before twelve midnight.

　　”The black cell phone has never been wrong, and the cause of Men Nan’s illness is probably related to this room.” Chen Ge looked at his watch, it was already eight o’clock.

　　He called Dr. Gao, and the other party was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find his way out and had been guarding outside the residential area and hadn’t come in yet.

　　After explaining the situation on the phone, a few minutes later, Dr. Gao led Men Nan into the building.

　　When he saw Men Nan again, Chen Ge was taken aback, this young man now looked completely different from a normal person, like he was born with a deformity.

　　His head and spine were almost misaligned, and his head was hanging low, as if he was being pressed down hard.

　　Chen Ge pointed at Men Nan and showed an inquiring look towards Dr. Gao.

　　Dr. Gao immediately understood what Chen Ge meant and gently shook his head, “The situation has gotten even worse, it was only stabilized with difficulty after taking the medication, let’s go in and talk about it.”

　　Men Nan, who had his head lowered, took out the key from his pocket. The light in the hallway was dim, he tried several times, but the key could not be stuffed into the lock hole, he was so angry that his arms were trembling, and it seemed that he was about to fall ill again.

　　Seeing this scene, Chen Ge hurriedly took the key and helped him open the door of room 304.

　　The three of them entered the house, Dr. Gao and Men Nan were used to it and didn’t think anything of it, but it was Chen Ge’s first time here, and as soon as he entered, he smelled the strange odor that was like something going bad.

　　”It seems to be emanating from the walls.” Chen Ge looked around, the house was cleaned up and there was no garbage in the paper basket, so he couldn’t find anything that could give off a foul odor at all: “Could it be a corpse hidden in the wall?”

　　Soon Chen Ge rejected this speculation, the wall in the deepest part of the corridor on the third floor of Ping An Apartment was specially thickened by Wang Qi, a normal apartment wall could not be stuffed with a corpse at all.

　　”Looking for something?” Dr. Gao opened his mouth to ask after noticing that Chen Ge had acted erratically as soon as he entered the room.

　　”Do you smell an odd odor?” Chen Ge finally stopped next to the wall between 303 and 304, where the stench was the strongest.

　　”It’s a bit, old houses more or less produce weird odors.” Dr. Gao helped Men Nan to the bedside, but Men Nan refused to go near the bed, he would rather stand than sit on the bed.

　　Chen Ge glanced at Men Nan and asked softly, “What’s wrong with him?”

　　”He’s afraid that he’ll fall asleep, in his last dream, that man had already choked him, if he falls asleep again, he might not be able to wake up again.”
