Chapter 0278 – It’s Time to Go to the Lucky Draw
”Xiao Jia we’ve already found, fell into a coma, no major physical problems.” Li Zheng continued after a pause, “But that Chen Ge seems to have some problems.”
”Something happened to Xiao Chen? Where are you guys! I’ll be right over!” Team Yan’s voice came out over the intercom.
”He might have been stimulated by something, after all, when we received the distress call, he and those four lunatics were on the 23rd floor, they should have suffered something really terrible.”
Li Zheng looked at Chen Ge, who was sitting motionless on the stairs, and his heart felt bad.
He had a bad impression of Chen Ge at first, especially in the interrogation room, where Chen Ge’s attitude could be described as very arrogant.
But just now, after hearing Chen Ge ask for help, he put aside all his preconceptions and led his team members to run desperately, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
Li Zheng, as the head of the city precinct’s criminal investigation team’s operation group 1, he had seen a handful of survivors who had escaped from the murder scene, and the physical injuries would heal with time, but the mental trauma would stay with them for the rest of their lives.
”If only, we could have been a little faster.” He wanted to encourage Chen Ge to be stronger, but he didn’t know how to go about it.
Staying seated on the stairs between the 22nd and 23rd floors, Chen Ge had been staring at his own shadow for ten minutes, and he realized something terrifying-his shadow seemed to be unable to change back!
Even when the light found its way onto himself, it was obvious that it was two shadows overlapping.
”Some sort of change must have occurred in Zhang Ya again, before she was hiding in my shadow, now she is trying to become my shadow!”
Chen Ge recalled all the abnormalities Zhang Ya had when she saw the disfigured face, “The black blood stain in the wooden box must be very important to her, black blood? Red clothes? Is there some kind of connection between the two? After absorbing that black blood, her strength will be able to break through a certain boundary?”
The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt, Chen Ge looked at his own shadow, Zhang Ya’s shadow was slowly replacing his own, and it looked like he had made up his mind to follow him for the rest of his life until he no longer had a shadow.
Fingers touched the wooden box in his arms, frankly speaking this was the first time Chen Ge had been given a gift by a girl in front of him, and although he always felt that something wasn’t quite right, the fact couldn’t be denied.
”This feeling is subtle.”
He muttered in a small voice, no matter what Zhang Ya would become in the future, but one thing was certain, he would definitely not say anything wrong about Zhang Ya behind her back in the future.
”For the time being, there is no need to worry, last time Zhang Ya only swallowed half of the old man in red’s body, he fell asleep for several days, and in the end, it was only under my thousand calls that he slowly awoke.”
”This time Zhang Ya swallowed two complete red clothes, two bloody faces and a long, skinny ghostly shadow, as well as that mysterious black blood stain, and I’m afraid that if I want to completely digest all of these, I’m afraid I’ll be sleeping for a long time.”
Zhang Ya was Chen Ge’s main combatant, with Zhang Ya present, Chen Ge’s House of Horrors was able to overwhelm the Weird Tales Association; with Zhang Ya absent, Chen Ge dragged his family along, and it was estimated that he would only be able to cope with a single red coat.
”The disfigured man, the two couples, and Supervisor Huang, removing the four of them, there are now three people left in the Weird Talk Association.” Chen Ge’s face was calm, and outsiders couldn’t guess what he was thinking at all, “The remaining three people contain Number Ten, the President, and Wu Fei, and I still can’t determine their respective identities right now. But one thing is certain, all three are extremely dangerous and cunning.”
”The Weird Tales Association has still not killed me with all their efforts, they shouldn’t strike again anytime soon.” Now that Zhang Ya was sleeping, although Chen Ge had temporarily gotten rid of the “care” from Zhang Ya, he had also entered a gap in his strength, and the Weird Talk Association only needed to send out two more red coats at this time to wipe out his House of Horrors.
People always miss when they can’t get it, and with Zhang Ya sleeping, Chen Ge suddenly became very insecure: “The number of tourists has skyrocketed in the past few days, and the House of Horrors has collected a lot of screams from tourists, so it’s time for another wave of lucky draws.”
For the black cell phone’s carousel lottery, he himself actually refused it, but he couldn’t think of any other way to enhance his strength in a short period of time.
Ghosts hated when they were in use, a phrase Chen Ge now had a deep understanding of.
”That piece of black blood is very unusual, when Zhang Ya awakens again, it might break through a certain boundary.”
Even more terrifying than the red dress, Chen Ge no longer dared to continue thinking about it.
Holding onto the railing on the stairs, Chen Ge stood up in a rather sorry state, his body was covered in dust and ash, his arms were bruised, and his spirit looked a little dazed.
”Be careful.” Li Zheng had been guarding the side, and when he saw Chen Ge get up, he hurriedly went to assist him.
”It’s fine, you guys go look for Xiao Gu and Old Wang, I can still hold on.” Chen Ge wasn’t sure why Li Zheng’s attitude towards himself suddenly changed for the better, he felt that Li Zheng must have misunderstood something, but he was too lazy to explain.
The two of them returned to the 23rd floor together, the symbiotic ghosts and monsters were violently torn apart and devoured by Zhang Ya, and several members of the Weird Tales Association suffered heavy damage to their souls and became delirious.
The disfigured man with the most horrifying appearance, on the other hand, seemed to be lying in the center of the building like a vegetable at the moment, his eyes empty.
Li Zheng frowned as he looked at the several Weird Talk Association members, and a strange thought surfaced in his mind – how come it looked like they were the victims?
No one knew what had happened on the 23rd floor, and as the only person in the know, Chen Ge’s answer was that he had fallen from the upper floors, hit his head, and couldn’t remember much, only that he was being chased.
Pushing open the door of room 3239, Li Zheng smelled a faint smell of blood, and only after running into the bathroom did he realize that a family of three people had fainted, and their wrists had been slit, as if they were bleeding.
”Still breathing! Come help, call an ambulance!”
Action Team 2 had also arrived by now, they carried out the real victims, Chen Ge couldn’t do much to help from the side, he silently looked at the weird patterns painted in the corners of the room.
These patterns painted with blood seemed to be some kind of special writing, and after Chen Ge got closer, he realized that all the ghosts and monsters on his body were trembling.
”Words that can make severe ghosts fearful? The Weird Tales Association is quite deep.” He was glad that he didn’t enter the middle of the room before, and after viewing it for a few minutes, he took out his cell phone and took pictures of all the patterns.
After the patterns on the walls were not supplied with blood, they quickly faded and slowly lost their effect.
Walking out of 3239, Chen Ge and Li Zheng entered the opposite room again.
The arrangement inside the room was shocking, three ropes were hanging in the center of the living room, the unconscious Lao Wang and Xiao Gu were thrown under the first two ropes, and the third knot seemed to be for Chen Ge.
”Three rope knots, a family of three, now the Weird Tales Association also only has three people left, they are really extraordinarily obsessed with the number three.”
