Chapter 0275 The ghost in his heart!
The other party seemed to not expect to receive such a direct reply, and it took more than ten seconds before he sent a new message, “I’m hiding in the closet of room 3239, there seems to be something around here.”
”You describe the approximate shape of that thing to me.” Chen Ge was too lazy to type and sent a voice.
”Can’t see clearly, it’s dark outside, but I can feel them.”
”Don’t you have a cell phone? Why don’t you turn on your flashlight and shine it?”
”It’ll be spotted.”
”Then how did you hide in room 3239, do you have a key to this room?”
”No, the door was open, so I hid in.”
”Where’s Old Wang?”
”Old, Old Wang?”
The chat was fast-paced, and Chen Ge’s side showed that the other party had been in the middle of typing, but there were just no messages sent over.
”Am I chatting the sky to death?” Chen Ge waited for half a day and the other party still didn’t reply, he took out his cell phone and sent another message to the other party, “In or out?”
The elevator rose to the 23rd floor, Chen Ge sent thirteen in a row during this period of time, and when he sent the fourteenth, he found that he had been pulled black.
”You’re the one who harassed me, and you’re the one who pulled the plug on me, what’s wrong with you?” He stepped out of the elevator and pressed the button on the repeater.
The blood-stained tape slowly spun, Chen Ge’s pupils slowly narrowed as the darkness minimized its effect on him, “If you have a disease, you need to hurry up and treat it.”
Nerves tense, he leaned against the side of the wall and slowly walked towards the depths of the corridor.
”Xiao Jia completely lost control after reading the message on his cell phone and bit his companion, the ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark should possess the ability to affect the sanity of the living.”
”The Blood Face in the Weird Tales Association has a similar ability, but the Blood Face has to be close to the target and change into the same face as the target before it can be manipulated.”
”This is a special category of ghosts and monsters, and usually, ghosts and monsters with such special abilities don’t have a strong fighting ability, like the Pen Fairy.”
Chen Ge didn’t carry a skull-crushing hammer or a pig-killing knife when he came over; he reached into his shirt pocket with one hand and gripped the ballpoint pen tightly, while the other hand touched the wall, fearing that a certain room door in front of him would suddenly open, and a ghostly head would burrow out from inside.
Counting the numbers on the room doors, Chen Ge quickly arrived at the door of room 3239.
He pulled the door lock, and the security door did not move.
”It should be this room.” He knocked on the door of the room, “Anyone there?”
The blood-stained tape emitted a piercing electric current sound, as if Xu Yin was sending a warning to Chen Ge.
After knocking continuously for a few times, out of Chen Ge’s expectation, a man’s voice came out from room 3239.
”Who is it! It’s a big night? Something wrong?”
”Someone?” Chen Ge was actually more surprised than the man in the room, and in his heart, he wondered if the other party could have been manipulated by someone from the Weird Talk Association, or if the man in the room was a member of the Weird Talk Association.
He was highly nervous and paid twelve minutes of attention.
The security doors in the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood were all double-layered, and soon, the door inside was opened.
A man of roughly one meter seven stood inside with a cold face.
”Is something wrong?”
”I’m here to assist the police in chasing the fugitives, our men will be coming up later.” Chen Ge’s tone of voice was all very similar to Team Yan and the others.
”Another fugitive came in?” The man’s face became even worse as he knitted his eyebrows together.
”Honey, what’s going on?” A woman in her thirties in the living room also walked out.
”It says that a fugitive has come in.”
”Didn’t we just catch a fugitive in our building last time? This place is too unsafe, it’s been several times!” The woman’s voice was a bit sharp: “I told you a long time ago, let’s move out, but you didn’t listen!”
”Move away, where to live?”
The man was also very angry, neither of them gave in and argued.
Chen Ge coldly watched all this, he wasn’t sure if the other party was a member of the Weird Tales Association right now, he just instinctively felt that these two people were a bit strange.
”When people are arguing, they will unconsciously look at each other, and even bring on physical movements, but these two don’t, their bodies are very stiff, are they intentionally restraining themselves, or are they purposely putting on a show for me to see?”
After the man and woman in the room had argued for a few sentences, the woman entered the inner room and the man stayed at the door.
He looked like he was holding a bellyful of fire, and his attitude towards Chen Ge was very bad: “We are just residents within this building, we haven’t seen any murderers or heard any strange noises, you’d better go find someone else to ask.”
Being knocked on the door by a stranger in the middle of the night, normally no one would open the door, this was something Chen Ge had already thought of long ago, if the other party opened the door for him and invited him in, then he was the one who should be more careful.
”I just want to ask you a few questions.” Chen Ge pointed to the next few households, “How much do you know about your neighbors?”
”There’s no one living on either side, there’s a man living alone on the opposite side, moved in a month or two ago, usually rarely see him go out, haven’t dealt with him.”
”When was the last time you saw him?”
”Wednesday night, I think, I came back three hours later than usual from working late and met him in the elevator.”
”Wednesday? The elevator?” Chen Ge instantly connected the man across the street with the member of the Weird Tales Association, “Do you know what that person’s name is?”
”No idea.” The man closed the door after saying that.
The sound of the security door closing carried far in the hallway, Chen Ge stood in the middle of the corridor as he turned to look at the room across from 3239.
”Could the people from the Weird Talk Association be hiding in the opposite room?” There was a bit of suspicion in his eyes, the couple in 3239 appeared normal on the surface, but they had “unintentionally” revealed the most crucial information to Chen Ge – Wednesday and the elevator, both of which were only clear to those who had been in the Weird Tales Association.
”Did they say that on purpose? Trying to lure me to the opposite room?”
Chen Ge wasn’t sure if this was a coincidence or a trap; ever since acquiring the black cell phone, he had become increasingly cautious.
Holding the ballpoint pen tightly in his right hand, his left hand grabbed the doorknob of the room across from 3239, Chen Ge exerted a little force and the security door opened outwards.
”Unlocked?”
At the first moment he realized that the security door was unlocked, Chen Ge immediately retreated, the real killing game should be this room opposite 3239.
It was also the moment he let go that a small blood-red hand grabbed towards the outside!
Both sides were almost just a few centimeters away from each other!
”What is it?”
In the middle of the long dark corridor, the security door creaked and slowly opened, and on the inner door panel of the security door, there crawled a little boy with short limbs, a huge head, and his entire face suffocated into a sauce-purple color!
What made Chen Ge feel a hint of panic was that this little boy was wearing a bloody suit!
The deformed mouth slowly opened, revealing the crooked teeth inside, and the boy seemed to be smiling.
”Dad killed us and put us at the door of the room.”
”Brother hid behind the door.”
”He made me hide in front of the door.”
As soon as the voices fell, another deformed head poked out of the room, features swollen and eyes hanging out of its face.
”Dad killed us and put us in front of the door of the room.”
”My brother hid in front of the door.”
”He made me hide behind the door.”
With strange expressions, the two boys climbed out of the door of the room and stood in front of Chen Ge one after the other.
Bright red blood dripped down from them, turning into a line of blood that spread in all directions, crawling rapidly on the walls and floor like millipedes.
The corridor became extremely depressing, yet the Weird Tales Association’s killing moves weren’t over yet.
A white figure slowly crawled out of room 3239, and it was none other than the white shadow that had run away from the woman who had killed Xu Yin.
Only a third of the creature’s body remained, and by the looks of it it seemed to be running for its life.
It crawled on the blood filaments, but its body was soon dragged back again, followed by the sound of chewing resounding in the room.
”There are other monsters in that house?!”
Unfortunately by Chen Ge’s words, a hand densely covered with blood filaments stretched outwards, looking the size of a normal human, but what made Chen Ge wary was that the hand seemed to have been severely burned, without any palm prints.
The air seemed to freeze, and a strong smell of blood filled the middle of the building, the hand pressed on the top of one of the boy’s head, as if it was fatherly and lovingly caressing the deformed head.
”He found us, now it’s your turn to find him.”
The man’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant, he seemed to have swallowed something highly corrosive, the mere sound of it sent shivers down one’s spine.
Hearing the man’s words, an extremely happy smile appeared on the faces of those two boys in red, and they both said back in unison.
”Okay, dad.”
The two monstrous faces were approaching at a rapid pace, Xu Yin couldn’t even deal with the red clothes alone, let alone trying to slow down the two red clothes.
Chen Ge felt an unprecedented pressure, and with almost no hesitation, he shouted out the name on the love letter.
”Zhang Ya!”
As if a drop of water fell into a deep pool, Chen Ge’s shadow rippled, the rapidly spreading blood strands suddenly stopped, and even the hand hanging outside the door without any palm prints gently trembled.
Raging black hair drilled out from Chen Ge’s shadow like a great tide slapping the walls on both sides, crushing all the blood threads that came close to him in the most violent and direct way.
The temperature of the 23rd floor lowered once again, Zhang Ya’s delicate face was pressed behind Chen Ge, and underneath that bone-chilling coldness was hidden a soul as eye-catching as a flame!
”Is this the ghost in your heart?” The person behind the door slowly stepped out, he was wearing a large red jacket and a mask on his face, but even wearing the mask could not completely cover his thoroughly disfigured face.
”Be careful, Zhang Ya!” Chen Ge decisively retreated backward, he couldn’t do much to help here in the battle between the red coats.
There was no need for Chen Ge to remind him, or even if Chen Ge did, Zhang Ya wouldn’t listen to him.
Without any nonsense or trial and error, resentment filled Zhang Ya’s eyes, and his black hair seemed like a huge wave that lifted up, scraping across the wall and crashing into the two boys!
Blood and black hair tangled together, Chen Ge hid behind Zhang Ya as he pondered other things in his head.
”The person who manipulated the two red-clothed boys should be the patient in room ten among the third patient building.”
The face, body, and even the fingerprints and palm prints on the hands were all burned off, matching patient number ten in terms of appearance.
”The haunted house restored all the patient rooms in the third patient building, and there are some of this patient’s deeds recorded on the walls of ward ten, the reason why he went crazy was because he accidentally caused the deaths of his two children, and he felt guilty, and suffered blows one after another which led to his mental breakdown.”
Everything matched up, Chen Ge really didn’t expect that he would actually meet the most terrifying patient number ten in the third ward tonight!
He had underestimated the determination of the Weird Tales Association in wanting to get rid of him, and I’m afraid that the Weird Tales Association had already begun to plan tonight’s killings after Wei Wei and Kong Xiangming lost contact.
With a lunatic like Wu Fei who had an IQ that exceeded that of an ordinary person, they would definitely not make the same mistake, and it was highly likely that the Weird Talk Association would come out in force tonight!
Zhang Ya appeared, but it didn’t bring Chen Ge a sense of security; Patient 10 had two red coats in just one person, and aside from him, the Weird Talk Association still had six members left!
”Boom!”
Blood strands exploded as Zhang Ya’s black hair strangled a boy’s neck in death, slamming him to the ground.
But the strange thing was that not only did the boy not feel any pain, a smile appeared on his ugly face, “Brother, I’m about to run out of breath.”
That already incongruous head became even bigger, a blood vessel made of blood filaments surfaced on his face, and his head was about to be strangled by his black hair.
In this life and death situation, neither the other red coat nor the man by the door had any intention of helping, and the man even ordered his brother to leap over Zhang Ya and attack Chen Ge first.
The black hair wrapped around the younger brother, and after a cruel sound, the blood was not absorbed by the black hair, but seeped out of the cracks, and re-coalesced into a boy not far away.
Its head seemed to have gotten a little smaller, and the red clothes on its body had dimmed a little, other than that there was nothing unusual.
”How much longer do you want to wait!” The disfigured man seemed a little distressed, and a hint of anger permeated his voice.
”We just want to be more secure, after all, this ghost in his mind is a bit unusual.” The security door to room 3239 opened again, and the couple stepped out from it, the man with a long, skinny ghostly figure stepping on his shoulder, and the woman walking backwards, a bloody face on the back of her head grimly and strangely smiling.
The two of them smiled as they came out, thinking that they were winning, but what they didn’t expect was that the moment the security door opened, the black hair swept up, as if it were a giant python wrapping around their bodies.
Dealing with four stern ghosts at the same time? There were also two of them in red!
The pair looked at each other, both seeing shock and fear in each other’s eyes.
”Didn’t you say you could drag the ghosts on the target?!” The woman screamed, and further on she couldn’t make a sound, her black hair spiking into the middle of her bloody-faced features.
The man was wailing as well, the long, thin ghostly figure trying to burrow back into the man’s body, but it was entangled in the black hair and was pulling it out a little.
”One against four?” The disfigured man’s scarred hand slowly clenched, he thought that it was a ten out of ten situation, but he didn’t expect that there would still be a problem.
Her black hair was like a raging river wandering in the blood-colored world, Zhang Ya, who was dressed in red, stood quietly in the center of the corridor, she heard the disfigured man’s voice and slowly moved her gaze away from Chen Ge.
As she looked at the disfigured man, her eyes blinked gently as if she had discovered a new toy.
