Chapter 0234 – Can’t Meet Anyone Else
Looking at Chen Ge’s back as he left, Team Li was a little uneasy, and he called Yong outside in.
”I have something to do tonight, I’m leaving first.”
”Is it related to Chen Ge?”
”En, ever since his parents disappeared, this kid has been able to stay calm no matter what he encounters, and it’s the first time I’ve seen him have such big mood swings.” Team Li put away the documents on the table, “By the way, notify the brothers on night duty, don’t relax, an emergency may arise tonight.”
”Don’t worry.”
Team Li changed into civilian clothes and hurried out the door.
……
Leaving the Xicheng Police Station, Chen Ge took a taxi back to New Century Paradise, where he locked himself alone in the haunted house lounge.
”The murderer who forced Zhang Ya to die should also be looking for the Weird Talks Association, and he ended up disappearing in Building 3 of the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood, so it’s likely that he’s already entered the nonexistent 24th floor and found the Weird Talks Association.”
Chen Ge knew nothing about the Weird Talks Association, and the flyer in his hand only described the address of the association.
”Zhang Ya fell a few years ago, the time span is too big, even if the police caught Zhu Xiu, it’s still hard to convict him, you need a complete chain of evidence to support it.” Chen Ge wasn’t a law student and didn’t work in an industry related to the law, he wasn’t sure what kind of punishment he would suffer for forcing a girl to her death.
”When you make a mistake, you have to go and take the consequences.” Chen Ge took out the publicity leaflet of the Weird Tales Association, “It’s better to let Zhang Ya personally do this matter, my task is to find that asshole.”
Gazing at the flyer, the blood red half-open door of the room was a bit blinding, this was the logo of the Weird Talks Association.
”Take the elevator in the wee hours of midnight, stop repeatedly at each floor, and finally press 24th floor to find the Weird Tales Society.”
There were a few caveats written at the bottom of the flyer.
You must enter the elevator alone in the wee hours of midnight, and during the elevator ride, whenever you meet someone else riding the elevator it is considered a failure and you must start from the beginning.
During the elevator ride, no matter what you see appearing in the hallway, you must not take a step out of the elevator.
Whether or not you find the Weird Tales Association, you must carry a mask with you. All members of the association need to hide their true faces, not reveal their information to anyone, and are strictly forbidden to inquire about others.
Last but not least, they could not divulge any information related to the Weird Tales Association, and could not tell a second person to know about their search for the Weird Tales Association.
Chen Ge could basically fulfill all of the above conditions.
”You can only go over alone, but it doesn’t say that you can’t bring ghosts and monsters with you.” Chen Ge packed the ballpoint pen and the tape on his body, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it wasn’t safe: “Xuyin’s ability is more restrictive, and it can only work if playing the tape is, and the tape recorder is too large to carry.”
After circling around the haunted house, Chen Ge again stuffed the little into the middle of his pocket, “The members of the Weird Tales Association don’t know whether they are human or ghosts, so risking to bring the skull-crushing hammer and the pig-killing knife over there will instead easily cause the other party to be wary.”
”It’s better to be cautious.”
Chen Ge used a rope to tie the red cloth wrapped Pig Killing Knife securely, ready to be tied to his calf, as for the Skull Crushing Hammer, forget about it, this thing’s shape was too special, taking it over there would definitely become the focus of the other party’s attention.
”This is all I can do for now.”
After checking all the props, Chen Ge went online and ordered another ultra-thin repeater, but the goods would not be delivered until tomorrow.
Taking a paper and pen, Chen Ge wrote down all the things he had to pay attention to tonight, memorizing them.
At 10:30 pm, with his cell phone fully charged, Chen Ge left the haunted house and took a taxi to Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood.
The night was dark, and the sky was a little gloomy with no stars or moon in sight.
Inside the cab and outside the taxi were two different worlds, Chen Ge felt like a passerby walking outside the red lights.
At almost eleven o’clock, Chen Ge arrived at Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood, he originally wanted to sneak in through the back door, but when he saw the night shift security room at the security pavilion, he immediately dismissed this idea.
”Gu Feiyu? You’ve been discharged from the hospital?” Chen Ge looked at the boy in the security booth who was wearing a security uniform and was much more composed, thankful for the surprise.
It had only been a day or two since the madwoman was arrested, and he was already back on duty.
”Brother Chen, what brings you here?” Gu Feiyu was a bit embarrassed, his attitude towards facing Chen Ge again was completely different from before.
”There’s something going on, and by the way, I happened to see you.” Chen Ge smiled, “How is your body recovering? Not resting for a few more days?”
”I followed my eldest uncle into the city to work, staying in the hospital for one more day is equivalent to me working for three days for nothing, the medical expenses that night were still advanced by my eldest uncle and the old folks and them.” Speaking of this Gu Feiyu some shame: “out more than a month, the money did not earn, net to everyone in trouble.”
”You’re called a bare heart, I think it’s quite good.” Chen Ge took out his cell phone, “I’m going to make a trip to the third building later, there’s something I’d like to ask you for.”
”Feel free to say anything.” Chen Ge was saving Gu Feiyu’s life, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse Chen Ge’s request.
”You remember it clearly.” Chen Ge adjusted the ringtone of their cell phones to the simplest ringer: “If you receive a call from me after midnight early morning, don’t bother to answer it, I’ll hang up after three rings, and at that time, I’ll need you to do a very simple thing.”
”What is it?”
”Call the police immediately.”
Gu Feiyu still wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Chen Ge, “Just do as I say, just remember, don’t ever get through to me, just call the police directly.”
”Understood.” Gu Feiyu didn’t dare to open his mouth casually, since he was inexplicably saved by Chen Ge last time, he always felt that Chen Ge was the kind of person who was going to do something big.
Leaving the security booth, Chen Ge entered the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood and arrived in the middle of building number three.
Everything was normal on the surface of this building, but who would have thought that it would actually be the location of the Weird Talk Association.
”During the process of riding the elevator, as long as you encounter someone else riding the elevator it is considered a failure, if it were any other high-rise building, the probability of failure would be high, but this building is not quite the same.”
”I heard Wang Xin’s adoptive mother say that very few of their people here go to take the elevator late at night, and it is said that they will hit evil.”
”Now that I think about it, those experiences of them bumping into evil may be related to the Weird Tales Association, and it is assumed that they accidentally encountered people or ‘ghosts’ looking for the Weird Tales Association.”
Chen Ge hid in the safe passage, and the numbers on the residential building’s elevator display hadn’t changed since eleven thirty, indicating that the elevator had been in an unoccupied state.
I don’t know if it was due to the large temperature difference between day and night, but as time passed, Chen Ge felt that the temperature inside the building was getting lower and lower.
”It’s much colder in the building than outside, have the residents in the building gotten used to it?”
At 11:55 pm, Chen Ge walked out of the safe passage and came to the side of the elevator, “I shouldn’t meet anyone else.”
