Chapter 0240 – Are you here to run for president?
”Number Four, before you speak, I need to remind you.”
The man sitting first on the right side of the dining table twisted his head and glanced at Chen Ge, “All the stories you tell here must be true, we have our own methods to verify them, if you’re fictionalizing and making things up, then you’ll have to suffer the appropriate punishment.”
”I understand the rules.”
”Begin.”
Chen Ge thought for a while and prepared to tell his first story.
”This is a true incident that happened to my friend.”
”My friend’s name is Wang, and he loves his wife very much, but his wife strangely disappeared a few months ago.”
”He called the police and searched for his wife all over the streets, posting a missing person notice in his hand in every corner of the city.”
”Everyone felt sorry for him, and the police who assisted him also found out after visiting and investigating that he loved his wife very much, almost to the point of doting on her, so they understood what he did.”
”But sympathy is sympathy, how can there be so many fairy tales in this world.”
”After searching for half a year, his wife was still nowhere to be found, the police had long since given up and treated her as a missing person, he was the only one who still persisted in searching for her, and this seemed to have become the only motivation for him to live.”
”He left the house early in the day, went out with a missing person notice, and didn’t return until late at night.”
”It kept repeating for a long time, until one day, with great effort, he suddenly received a message from his wife.”
”Help me ……”
”It was sent from his wife’s cell phone, only three words, but it made him feel overwhelmed with fear!”
”Buried in his heart is a secret that he has never told outsiders, in fact, his wife’s disappearance was caused by him, he killed his wife and hid her.”
”He went out searching every day, exhausting himself just to paralyze himself and alleviate the guilt in his heart for his wife.”
”But he didn’t expect his wife, who was already dead, to actually return the message.”
”He panicked and removed his wife from the compartmentalized sandwich of his old house and drove to bury her in a remote suburb.”
”I thought this could be the end of the matter, who knew that something even more horrible had happened.”
”Every time he woke up from his sleep, his wife’s clothes from her life would appear next to his bed, as if his wife had been there at night!”
”How could the person he buried with his own hands come back?”
”When he woke up, he took his tools and traveled to the suburbs again to send his wife farther away.”
”But no matter how he went about it, whenever he woke up he realized that his wife’s things always appeared somehow.”
”His wife seemed to come to life, waiting until he fell asleep and then running to his side.”
”He was getting more and more scared, and he always received messages from his wife on his cell phone, but he had no memory of them at all, they were all sent after he fell asleep.”
”The situation is getting worse and worse, and sometimes when he wakes up in the morning, he even realizes that he is wearing the same clothes that his wife was wearing when she died.”
”He was on the verge of breaking down, thinking that the problem was still his wife, and he drove to the place where his wife was buried to move her for the last time.”
”To prevent his wife from coming back to him at night, he comes up with a very crazy solution; he builds his wife into the middle of the wall of an old ruined mansion.”
”Watching his wife become one with the wall, he sighed with relief, thinking that his wife would finally not come back for him.”
Chen Ge came to an abrupt end here, “I’m done telling my story.”
”Finished?” The people on both sides of the table were listening intently, “What’s behind it? What happened to your friend in the end?”
Chen Ge was telling the story of Wang Qi, and he wanted to say that my “friend” finally met me and is now in the police station.
”You didn’t finish this story, did you?” The man sitting first on the left was a bit annoyed.
”That’s all I know, anything further would be fabrication.” Chen Ge changed his voice, sounding and feeling a little vicissitude.
Halfway through the story there was no more, the first man on the left side of the table exchanged glances with the others, and together they looked at the fifth man on the left.
That person was shrouded in a black robe, not a single piece of skin was exposed, very mysterious.
Noticing the gazes of the others, the fifth man on the left spoke indifferently, “I can’t see through him a bit, but this story of his should be true.”
”A very good story, but I don’t like this feeling.” The first person on the left placed his left hand on the table, which seemed to be the way they voted.
Eight of the remaining nine people placed their left hands on the table, except for the man who liked Chen Ge’s mask who didn’t take a stand.
”With one abstention and nine votes in favor, it seems that tonight’s main course has been decided.” The man on his left smiled sorrowfully, and the gazes of the other few people looking at Chen Ge were not favorable.
Chen Ge called out to Zhang Ya in his heart and there was still no response, he felt that if he didn’t do something, something bad would happen.
”Don’t worry guys, this is just my first story.” Chen Ge was very calm, the human skin mask on his face twisted into an ugly smile, “Like I said, I have many more stories.”
Originally, the three newcomers in front of them were relieved, but they tensed up again when they heard him say that.
”Many stories?” The man who liked his mask sized up Chen Ge, “The rules of the Weird Tales Association are that after telling enough of three completely true and agreed upon weird tales, you can either make a request or opt out. If you can tell us two more true weird tales, maybe we’ll have a new opinion of you.”
His statement was echoed by the others, except for the first man on the right who hesitated slightly, “Ten, you seem to think highly of this newcomer?”
”I just find him interesting.”
The black-robed men on either side of the table seemed to have their own numerical numbers as well; they never called each other by their first names, not even pronouns.
”Totally true weird stories aren’t that easy to tell, and I’m afraid the average person would be broken after one or two experiences.” The first man on the left retracted his left hand, “I hope he didn’t make the foolish mistake of making it up.”
Several black-robed men were talking, Chen Ge did not bother to interrupt, he was supposed to be stalling for time.
”Tell the rest of your story.”
”My second story is still a true incident that happened to my friend.”
Chen Ge first recounted the story of Fan Yu, a young boy who witnessed his parents fall down a well and lived with his murderer’s aunt and a house full of ghosts.
Then he told the story of the pen fairy and the depressed girl.
He realized that Zhang Ya still hadn’t awakened, so in order to stall for time, he told the story of Men Nan’s sub-personality who always dreamed of washing her hair at night, with the monster coming a little closer.
Finally, he stood in Xu Yin’s shoes again and told the story of loving a girl deeply and being tortured as a result.
Several of the stories were completely true, and after all of them were told, each and every member of the association present stopped talking.
What kind of life experience is this?
Friends were either crazy or perverted, every few years there was always a tragic death, the most important thing was that every one of them had an accident, and this guy was still alive and well and running here to tell stories, could it be that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes?
