Chapter 0229 – Strange Talk Association’s Flyer
”No matter where I drifted to, every time I dawned and woke up from my dreams, I told myself that today would be a new beginning.”
”But the moment I opened my eyes, it was as if a monster woke up in my body, and it tore at my wounds with impunity, that piercing pain a constant reminder.”
”I am the murderer of my child, the root of all misfortune.”
”I sought the help of psychiatrists, who said that the monster was my conscience and guilt, that I was torturing myself.”
”They advised me to divert my attention and find a place where my heart could rest.”
”I feared contact with people, took medication, pored over books, and tried to dedicate myself to my faith.”
”I had a small hope in my heart that maybe God would forgive my sins and allow me to be saved.”
”Everyone saw me as an executioner who had killed his own children, only my own faith in God would not, and I put everything I had into God.”
”After three years, I finally stopped feeling the pain, and probably due to the drug stimulation, my body even experienced reverse growth.”
”My mind became more and more peaceful, and in the fall of the fourth year, the police led a stranger to me.”
”That stranger was one of the prisoners who had hurt my wife in the first place.”
”He came to me wanting my forgiveness.”
”But why should I forgive him?”
”My wife lost three children and left me forever the day after she was hurt.”
”I will not forgive him, never!”
”The stranger cried to me about his tormented heart, but I didn’t sympathize with him, I just felt that he hadn’t been punished nearly enough.”
”Such a man does not deserve forgiveness.”
”The stranger seemed to feel much better after he finished speaking, and I felt angry when I saw his relieved expression.”
”I rushed at him, and in the midst of the fight, the pendant around his neck was torn off, and the necklace, which was engraved with a god, fell to the ground.”
”As if his most precious thing had been trampled on, he shielded the pendant with his body and confessed to the god on the pendant.”
”I vaguely saw myself in him, familiarly, including the god on that pendant.”
”I own a pendant exactly like his, and we believe in the same God!”
”Why would the God who became my entire spiritual support go and forgive the murderer who victimized my wife?”
”After the stranger left, I smashed the pendant around my neck and burned everything in the house that had anything to do with God.”
”The monster inside me woke up once again after four years, and a wound crumbled open on my body, when in fact I had already been in pieces, but had only been lying to myself.”
”Well now, I will never again try to suppress the monster that tore at my wounds.”
”I found knives from the kitchen and chased after the stranger.”
”God forgave him, but I didn’t.”
The words in blood covered the walls, and there were many more behind them, but unfortunately, they were getting more and more scribbled and maniacal, and many of them were unreadable, more like the catharsis of an offense.
The more Guo Miao looked at it, the more frightened she became, “Could this be Boss Chen’s past? The patient in ward ten had experienced reverse growth, could it be that this face is the one he once used?”
With his mind wandering, Guo Miao completely panicked: “It can’t really be human skin, can it?”
He gritted his teeth, held his breath, and reached out to touch that face.
When his fingertips almost touched the human face, an ear-piercing scream suddenly came from the corridor!
”Someone! I saw it! A broken face! There’s a face in ward three!”
While fully concentrating, the shrill female voice scared Guo Miao so much that he sat down directly on the ground as his calves went weak.
Heart beating wildly and thumping, Guo Miao covered his chest, he twisted his head and was about to yell at the outside to stop yelling when his eyes were attracted to something.
It was as if he was sitting on his knees in front of a human face at this moment, and from this angle he could see that there was a page of yellowed paper hidden in the place where the face’s mouth and the wall were pressed together.
”What is this?”
He shivered and put his hand into the mouth of the human face, where the paper and the wall were tightly pressed together, and it took him a great deal of effort before he could remove the palm-sized page without destroying the human face.
”Weird Tales Society?”
The paper appeared to be a flyer, with a blood red half-open door in the background, the words Weird Talk Society written on the top half, and the bottom half describing how to enter the Weird Talk Society.
”Find a twenty-four-story building? Take the elevator at midnight?”
Guo Miao held the flyer, his heart still beating non-stop, he could no longer tell what was real and what was fake now.
At the same time he found the flyer, Chen Ge, who had just entered Ward 3 through the secret passage from the dean’s office, stopped in his tracks, and the black cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
”Why is the message coming at this time?” Chen Ge retreated back into the secret passage, closed the iron door, and took out his black cell phone to check.
”The third sick building’s only hidden quest, the Weird Tales Association, has been successfully triggered!”
”This will be the first opponent you’ll face before taking control of the nightmare! Find them!”
”Mission hint one: the Weird Talk Association is in one of the rooms on the twenty-fourth floor.”
”Quest hint two: why are there twenty-four numbers in a twenty-third floor building?”
”Mission hint three: the only way to enter the twenty-fourth floor is to take the elevator at the early hours of midnight.”
After reading the information on the black cell phone, Chen Ge immediately thought of something!
When he was waiting for the elevator in Building 3 of the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood, he had inadvertently noticed that the building only had twenty-three floors, but the elevator was marked with twenty-four numbers!
”The Weird Talk Association is in that building?”
Inside ward ten, Guo Miao brought her phone screen up to the flyer, “The only way to find the Weird Talks Association is to take the elevator after midnight, enter the elevator, press the twenty-third floor, after reaching the twenty-third floor, press the second floor, return to the second floor, then go to the twenty-second floor, and in turn, stop at each floor, and finally press the twenty-fourth floor.”
”This is a prank, isn’t it? In the middle of the night, a person is ascending and descending in the elevator, and outside the elevator is the corridor, what if something dirty really comes in?”
Guo Miaoguang felt horrible just looking at it, and he folded the flyer a few times and stuffed it back into the human face’s mouth.
”This place is full of weirdness, can’t continue to stay. Old Song, give me a hand and prepare to withdraw!”
Chen Ge stood in the middle of the secret passage, he put away his black cell phone and shook the skull crushing hammer, “The hidden mission was triggered by the tourists, how did they do it?”
Long before the third sickbay was officially opened, Chen Ge had searched every corner within the third sickbay scene, in fact, he had focused on the tenth ward.
It was only that the paper was hidden at a tricky angle, and could only be seen when looking up at the face in the wall and succumbing to fear, and Guo Miao had only discovered it unintentionally because of his fear.
On the contrary, when Chen Ge first saw that face, he went over and pinched the other person’s nose and cheeks to test the feel.
Not only did he not feel scared during the whole process, he even had a hint of joy in his heart, feeling that he had found Patient 10’s face and was one step closer to solving the puzzle.
”The hidden quest was discovered by the tourists, looks like I have to thank them properly.”
Chen Ge heard footsteps coming from outside the secret passage, he touched the human skin mask on his face and lay down at the entrance of the secret passage to wait for the right moment.
