Chapter 0155 – There is more than one person in the building

　　After the cooked meat was exposed to the air for a period of time, the meat would harden.

　　Chen Ge aimed the fixed camera on his chest at the duck and reached out to touch it, the skin was soft and there was still a hint of residual warmth.

　　”This duck was just made no more than an hour ago.” He moved his body and took the duck out of the iron cage, “The internal organs were not cleaned out, the duck neck was cut right off, and the duck head cannot be found.”

　　Chen Ge flipped the duck’s body, there were teeth marks remaining on the half-raw meat, the stomach was torn open, there were no duck feathers on the ground, and the creatures that tore into the duck seemed to have eaten the feathers into their stomachs as well.

　　”A large canine in a steel cage?” Putting the duck back, Chen Ge looked at the other end of the iron cage again.

　　Outside the iron cage with the duck, there were two plastic bowls filled with colorless liquid.

　　”Why are there two bowls outside the same iron cage? Are there two dogs kept in this cage?” Both bowls were identical in color and shape, and Chen Ge lifted the bowls up to the tip of his nose and smelled them.

　　The liquid in one of the bowls was colorless and tasteless, and should be ordinary water, while the liquid in the other bowl emitted a faint and irritating odor.

　　”It seems like it’s been drugged with rat poison.” To prevent rats from chewing up the props, Chen Ge’s haunted house had bought rat poison before, so he was familiar with the odor.

　　”Two bowls with the same shape, one filled with water and one mixed with rat poison. Doesn’t the breeder have any fear that the animal he keeps in the cage will accidentally drink the wrong one?”

　　The scene in front of him was indeed a bit odd, and as Chen Ge captured it all into the camera, he swept his cell phone screen, the pop-ups slid fast, and one of the messages with a lot of words flashed past his eyes, vaguely featuring the words iron cage and human.

　　There were too many pop-ups, so Chen Ge didn’t scroll back, he examined each and every steel bar of the iron cage, and found that there was a large oil stain on the exit of the cage, as if it was a person’s hands desperately grasping the steel bars, unwilling to be taken away.

　　”Could it be that the cage contained not an animal, but a human being?”

　　Used medicine bottles were dumped all over the nurses’ station, and small paper bags with patients’ names on them were thrown everywhere, some of which still had pills of different colors left in them.

　　”A mental hospital that’s been abandoned for four or five years is actually inhabited by living people, and by the looks of it, there seems to be more than one.”

　　Chen Ge became even more cautious; all the preparations he had made during the day were to deal with the ghosts and monsters, ignoring the danger of the patients themselves.

　　Stepping out from the nurse’s station, Chen Ge focused on checking the walls on both sides.

　　The guy in the iron cage had been forcibly taken away, his hands were stained with oil, and he was sure to leave some traces in the process of struggling.

　　Without walking out a few steps away, Chen Ge saw that the wall skin was scratched, and there were blood spots mixed in with the oil stains.

　　”Injured?”

　　Chen Ge followed the traces and chased them all the way to the second floor of the sick building. Here, the hallway split into two, one leading to the interior of the first sick building and the other leading to the second sick building.

　　The entire rehabilitation center was a continuous building, with the three sick buildings connected to each other internally.

　　After spending nearly twenty minutes, Chen Ge walked all over the first sick building, there were very few places in the building where people could hide, he didn’t find the caged man, nor did he find any more traces of living people living in this place.

　　”Could that guy have been taken to one of the other sickbay buildings?” Chen Ge headed downstairs when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, it was Liu Dao calling.

　　”Something wrong?” Chen Ge’s nerves were taut, and any breeze would have a great impact on him.

　　”Chen Ge, you’re going too fast! Tonight is an overnight live broadcast, it’s only been twenty minutes now and you’ve already run through a sick building, how are you going to proceed with the live broadcast later?” Liu Dagger kept an eye on Chen Ge’s live broadcast, “Qin Guang’s side’s popularity just broke through 600,000, your side hasn’t broken through 50,000 yet, don’t just focus on exploring, communicate more with your water friends.”

　　Chen Ge listened to Liu Dao’s words and returned to the first floor, when he looked at the end of the first floor corridor, his pupils contracted slightly, “How come the iron gate of the sick building is closed? I remember the gate was open when I came in.”

　　”What are you talking about?” Liu Dagger’s voice paused for a moment, “The situation is not optimistic for us right now, you shouldn’t have too much pressure, just follow your own thoughts and broadcast.”

　　”We’ll talk later, hang up first.” Chen Ge put away his cell phone and ran towards the iron gate with his tool hammer raised, and when he passed the nurse’s station, he subconsciously glanced inside.

　　”It seems like there’s a change somewhere.”

　　Worrying about the sick building’s gate in his heart, Chen Ge didn’t roll into the nurses’ station to check it out first, he first ran to the sick building’s entrance and shook the iron gate with force.

　　”It’s locked! When was it?”

　　Chen Ge leaned over the doorway and looked out, and on the handle outside the iron door someone had added a new large lock.

　　He slammed the iron gate with force, and it seemed like there was something supporting it on the outside, and the gate didn’t move at all.

　　”Ring lock, support, looks like a repeat offender.” There were living people living in the abandoned mental hospital, and Chen Ge suspected that the former patients had returned. They weren’t crazy in the normal sense, some of these guys were probably smarter than the vast majority of normal people, and should never be underestimated.

　　Chen Ge tried to use a tool hammer to pry the lock of the door, without any effect, he entered the sick rooms on both sides again, and the windows were all sealed with iron fences.

　　At this moment, Chen Ge could more than ever appreciate the feelings of those patients who were sent to the mental hospital, this place was like a special prison.

　　Seek help? Call the police?

　　Chen Ge glanced at his cell phone screen, the popularity of the live broadcast was still growing, if he left now, this live broadcast would be ruined.

　　Besides, he still had the trial mission on the line, he had to enter the third sick building before midnight early morning to survive until dawn, once he called the police, it was estimated that he would have to waste several hours of time just asking questions.

　　”I remember that the windows on the second floor aren’t equipped with security grills, and it’s the same for leaving from there, so there doesn’t have to be an alarm for the time being.” Chen Ge had kind of gone out of his way in order to complete this trial mission and find clues to his parents’ disappearance.

　　Returning to the nurse’s station, Chen Ge noticed a subtle change inside when he passed by just now.

　　Rolling into it, the plastic bowl outside the iron cage had been emptied, and all the liquid inside had been poured out.

　　”Is he afraid that I’ll find out that one of the bowls is under rat poison?” Chen Ge couldn’t understand what the other party was doing and was about to get up when he suddenly saw a few lines of small words written on the wooden board under the counter.

　　In order to see those words clearly, Chen Ge bent down and poked his head into the counter, and before he could get close to those words, the top of his head felt a little itchy, as if a small bug had burrowed into his hair.

　　He reached out to scratch it, and the back of his hand inadvertently touched something.

　　Twisting his head to look upwards, Chen Ge’s heart jumped hard.

　　There was a handful of long black hair attached to the partition under the counter!

　　There were long and short ones, and it was unknown where they had gotten them from.

　　”Why is there hair under here? Is it from the guy in the iron cage?”

　　Without waiting for Chen Ge to figure it out, a sharp cat cry suddenly sounded outside the nurse’s desk, and he hurriedly crawled out from under the counter to look outside.

　　The white cat opened its teeth towards the second floor corner staircase, its heterochromatic cat pupils staring at a certain place.
