Chapter 0184 – Can’t Help It
Chen Ge still had a lot of questions in his heart, but unfortunately the boy didn’t give him the chance to ask and started counting down.
It could be seen that the boy was also barely holding on, his body hadn’t completely recovered yet, and the red clothes on his body were slowly becoming dim, “Don’t dawdle, hurry up!”
Walking closer to take a look, Chen Ge realized that the door panel was full of fine cracks, in which countless blood threads were interspersed in the rapid mending.
He associated it with the blast when Zhang Ya arrived and found it a bit strange, “The old man sent Zhang Ya to the door, and Zhang Ya broke through the door, so from this it seems that the door can be destroyed, but it is also capable of repairing itself.”
Reaching out to push the door, the world outside was no longer a blood-colored, the pitch-black long corridor looked surprisingly kind to him at this time.
”Meow?” A white cat squatted in the doorway, and when it saw Chen Ge, it cocked its head, its heterochromatic eyes filled with curiosity.
Walking out of the room, Chen Ge wanted to turn around and say hello to the boy, but he didn’t expect the other party to close the door with a bang, not giving him a chance to speak.
”I always feel that this kid is hiding something. Could it be that he is afraid of Zhang Ya?” That red dress appeared in his mind, and Chen Ge himself shivered, this three-star trial mission had given him a new understanding of Zhang Ya.
The character of Zhang Ya, the red-clothed stern ghost, was completely at two extremes from her life, cruel and tyrannical, fighting from outside the door to inside the door, eating whoever stopped, and tearing apart directly when she looked at him.
”Zhang Ya should have followed me out, right?” Chen Ge turned to look, Zhang Ya stood a foot away from him, her red dress even more vibrant than before.
His fingers seemed to be shaking gently as if they were spasming, Chen Ge smiled awkwardly as a way to hide his panic, “Look at this whole thing, I was worried about you so I went in to look for you righteously, but I didn’t expect to be saved by you in the end.”
Zhang Ya was silent, a pair of eyes carefully looking at Chen Ge’s face.
Chen Ge was stiffened by her stare and didn’t dare to move a muscle, he was thinking about how to go about easing the atmosphere, but after thinking for half a day, he realized that he had lived for more than twenty years, and his experience in striking up a conversation with a girl was surprisingly zero.
”What the hell have I been doing for the first twenty years?!”
After racking his brain, Chen Ge finally squeezed out a sentence, “This side of things has been dealt with, let’s go home.”
Zhang Ya didn’t reply, she took another step forward, and when her face was about to stick to Chen Ge’s body, she steeply accelerated through Chen Ge’s body and drilled into the middle of his shadow.
The black cell phone in his pocket vibrated, Chen Ge sat down against the wall, his forehead was already wet with cold sweat without realizing it, the pressure that Zhang Ya brought to him was just too much.
”Cell phone vibrating, could it be a hint that my mission is complete?” Taking a breath, Chen Ge took his cell phone out and tapped on the message prompt.
”Zhang Ya’s favorability has increased slightly! About to break through to the next stage – Can’t help it!”
The words on the cell phone screen made Chen Ge suck in a breath of cold air, “Can’t help it, why does this word sound so dangerous? With feelings so strong that they can’t be controlled, will Zhang Ya directly tear me apart in a fit of excitement?”
Chen Ge held his head, tangled in agony, the white cat on one side was lying on the backpack, lazy, and seemed to have gotten used to all the anomalies of this master of his.
”The car will be there, let’s not think about that much first.” Chen Ge stood up, he took out his own cell phone and looked at it, all communications were blocked after entering the door.
At this time, he remembered that he was still in the middle of a live broadcast, entering the platform’s homepage to take a look, his own live room had been temporarily blocked, however, the account had not been frozen, and he could still operate and speak.
”What’s going on?” Looking at the number of concerns, this one night’s live broadcast, the fans skyrocketed by one hundred and fifty thousand, casually entering a larger live room are talking about him and Qin Guang.
Chen Ge calmed down, he went into Qin Guang’s live room to look again and found that the dude was also blocked.
”What happened?” Chen Ge dialed Liu Dagger’s phone and it rang six or seven times before he connected, “Liu Dagger? Why were both my and Qin Guang’s live rooms blocked? Is it because the black screen was too long?”
After a few seconds, an unfamiliar man’s voice came from the other side of the phone, “We’re from the city precinct’s criminal investigation team, immediately state your location, stay where you are, and don’t move.”
When did the police come over? How did they know I was in the third sick building?
Chen Ge subconsciously glanced at the time, surprisingly, it was already 3:50 a.m. He felt that he had only stayed in the world behind the door for a short while, but he didn’t expect that such a long time had passed.
It was estimated that when he entered the world behind the door, the live broadcast was interrupted, and Liu Dao and the others called the police.
Unlike those water friends on the internet who were up in arms, Liu Dagger knew the seriousness of the matter and was clear about the exact location of the accident.
”I’m on the first floor of the third patient building of the rehabilitation center, there are two victims in the laundry room of the second patient building, now I’m collecting more things from the suspects.”
”Those two victims have been rescued, you don’t want to damage the scene, we’ll be right there, please stay in touch.”
”My cell phone is about to run out of battery, I’m afraid I can’t call for too long.” Chen Ge hung up after pausing for a moment as he grabbed the killing knife and skull crushing hammer and hid them.
”The stuff in the dean’s locker should be stowed away as well.” He frantically ran to the dean’s office on the second floor and loaded away the materials inside the closet, and while picking up the mail, Chen Ge inadvertently discovered another secret of this closet.
The partition at the back of the closet could be opened, and it was a hidden passageway, entering the passageway and going down, at the end was an iron door.
The lock hole of this door matched the key that Chen Ge had in his hand, and after opening the door and pushing away the cover behind the door, Chen Ge was shocked to find himself back in ward three.
”This should be the secret passageway of room three that Wang Haiming said, this path is connected to the dean’s office, and only the dean knows about it.”
Looking at the hospital bed facing the entrance of the secret passage and remembering Men Nan’s mother who used to live here, Chen Ge vaguely understood another reason why the boy was torturing the old dean.
”Wang Haiming also stayed in ward three, this key should be him and the mirror ghost cooperating with each other to steal it from the dean.” The police would be coming over soon, Chen Ge put away the key, took care of everything, and stayed quietly at the entrance of the ward.
At four o’clock in the morning, the door of the third ward building was broken open, and the long-awaited Chen Ge took the initiative to walk over, carrying a bag on his back, a rooster in his hand, and a white cat lying on his shoulder.
”One of our own! I also found some things left behind by the suspect here.” Without waiting for Chen Ge to get closer, the police surrounded him, all of them were raw faces.
After cross-examining him, Chen Ge led the police into the third sickbay, deleting some of the things related to ghosts and monsters, and he told the story of how he had chased the deformed face and ended up locked up in the third sickbay.
”There are fingerprints of the suspects on the iron door on the fourth floor, there are three of them in total, and all of them used to be patients in the third sick building.”
It was hard until dawn, and only after receiving the message that the black phone’s mission had been completed did Chen Ge follow the police out of the rehabilitation center.
