Chapter 0245 – Number Ten’s Identity
Chen Ge wouldn’t bother answering the beak man’s question; the moment the black hair wrapped around the beak man’s neck, his end was already doomed.
Zhang Ya never left anyone alive when she struck.
In the third sickbay, she had rushed into the world behind the door in a single breath in order to chase down the long, thin ghostly shadow that had escaped, and even tore up the red-clothed dean.
Zhang Ya, who had turned into a stern ghost, was the complete opposite of her character in life, going to the other extreme, but luckily, she seemed to have a crush on Chen Ge.
Chen Ge, who was honestly standing in the doorway, treated it as if he couldn’t see anything as he picked up the strange tool that the beak man had flung out and studied it.
”Ah!”
A miserable scream came out of the room as the blood covering the beak man’s face strained outward and dissipated, transforming into a sharp-billed red bird trying to fly out.
It was so fast that it ran to the door in the blink of an eye, but something even more desperate happened after it flew out.
As the beak man spoke, the black hair began to spread outward, sealing off this section of the corridor long ago.
The raging black hair drowned the blood bird and the beak man, and a moment later, the blood bird disappeared, leaving only a man on the ground paralyzed.
His gaze was dull and his consciousness seemed to have been destroyed.
After swallowing the blood bird, Zhang Ya still wasn’t satisfied, and his black hair drilled into one room after another along the doorway.
In the end, she didn’t know what she had found, and without warning, she began to gather her black hair.
”Was there another harvest?” This was the stronghold of the Weird Tales Association, and there was a good chance that it was hiding some important items.
With her black hair retracted, Zhang Ya cocked her head and surveyed Chen Ge for a long time before saying nothing and burrowing back into his shadow.
Chen Ge was hairy from Zhang Ya’s stare, and he waited until the blood color in his shadow completely disappeared before he dared to take a big breath.
”The favorability increased too quickly, now Zhang Ya is no longer willing to go back, if this continues to develop, sooner or later, I will be killed by her without a second thought.” Chen Ge recalled Zhang Ya’s eyes and his scalp tingled, the other party seemed to be seriously thinking about whether or not to make a direct move.
”I didn’t realize I was so popular with girls before! Without doing anything, the favorable feelings started to grow like crazy… In the future, when I encounter anything, it’s best if I don’t bother Zhang Ya.”
Chen Ge walked next to the bird’s beak man and looked at his face, after being hosted by the ghost behind the door for so long, his own face was already completely deformed.
”Can’t find much information based on looks alone.”
Leaving this room, Chen Ge came to the end of the corridor and pushed open the last door of the room.
The dining table was set in the center of the living room, but there was no one in the room.
”How did they leave? Where is the other passageway?”
Grasping the pig-killing knife, Chen Ge walked around the dining table, which was a very ordinary dining table, except that each chair had a corresponding number from one to ten.
”The president is amongst the ten of them, to be able to establish such an association with the power of the ghosts behind the door, this person cannot be taken lightly.”
Chen Ge stopped next to the seat of number ten, when he just entered the door number ten said something to him, at that time Chen Ge’s entire focus was on calling out to Zhang Ya, he didn’t pay attention at all.
Thinking about it now, Number Ten had big problems.
”The first thing he said to me was that he liked my mask, and by specifically pointing out the mask was he stating something to me?” Chen Ge wore a Dr. Cranium Shatterer mask, which had only been seen by people who had entered the haunted house for a visit, “Could it be that Number Ten was a previous visitor to the haunted house?”
”When the other nine people gave up on me, Number Ten didn’t take a stance, not taking a stance in that situation already meant support, he couldn’t possibly risk offending the other nine people to save a stranger.”
There were many more anomalies in the latter, such as when he was preparing to serve the meal, Number Ten suddenly opened his mouth to inform the three newcomers that they could leave, and judging from what had happened before, his words might have been specifically addressed to Chen Ge.
”Is there also a problem with the meal given to the newcomers?”
Chen Ge looked at Number Ten’s seat as he recalled every action of Number Ten, “Everyone else’s hands were shrunken amongst the black robes, only Number Ten was placing his hands under the table.”
Crouching down, Chen Ge looked under the table.
In the position directly opposite number ten’s seat, a few small words had been carved out with fingernails in a crooked manner.
Chen Ge used his cell phone to illuminate the table and looked at it for half a day before recognizing the words.
”Linjiang Blood Defense Station?”
The name of this place was somewhat familiar, and after he thought about it for a while, his eyes widened violently.
There were four letters in the cabinet of the dean’s office in the third sick building, and the address of the recipient on one of the letters was Linjiang New District Blood Defense Station!
”That letter was written by the dean of the third sick building to Dr. Chen, and this number ten is Dr. Chen?”
All the clues seemed to be strung together, but it felt like they couldn’t corroborate each other, and it always felt like the most crucial point was missing.
”It was the first time I brought the mask out of the New Century Paradise, he has seen my mask, he should be a tourist or a staff member of the Paradise. Who could have possibly appeared among the Weird Tales Association in the time period between when I obtained the mask and now?”
With his body covered by a black robe, Number Ten’s voice sounded odd, and he should have used a falsetto voice as well, which made it very difficult for Chen Ge to recognize the other party, and right now, he could only be sure that the other party was a male.
”Could it be that the psycho in the third ward building recognized me? Is he paralyzing me on purpose?”
The people of the Weird Tales Association were very unusual, including two of the toughest opponents with Wu Fei and “Devil”.
”Team Yan showed me the photos, and the psychosis in the third ward building is following me.”
”They also saw photos of me entering New Century Paradise in the cell phones of Xu Tong and the phantom limb patients.”
”This group of psychos knows I’m in New Century Land, and it’s possible that they’ve pretended to be tourists who’ve already entered my haunted house, so it’s normal that he’s seen my mask.”
”The letters addressed to the Linjiang Blood Defense Station were written by the old dean, and the red-coated dean had already teamed up with the patients in order to stay alive, so it makes sense that the patients would know the name of the place.”
”As for him helping me all the time, it’s probably because he sensed the danger. He’s not doing this to help me, but to help the entire association!”
”There’s also the most crucial point, just now, Bird Beak Man said that some of the members of the association received a message from the president, so they temporarily decided to leave.”
”Just as I left, they evacuated through a channel I didn’t know about, it can’t be such a coincidence!”
Thinking of this, Chen Ge’s gaze was gloomy as he looked at the engraved marks underneath the table, suspecting that this could be a trap.
He had to be careful, the ones who escaped from the third sick building were crazy, and one could not use normal human thinking to speculate on their behavior.
”Sensing something wrong as soon as he came up, reacting at the first opportunity, and controlling the whole situation in the dark, this number ten, if he is not someone I know, then he is most likely the president of the Weird Tales Association.”
Two guesses, two completely different results, heaven on one side, hell on the other.
