Chapter 0298 – Video Tape

　　Chen Ge’s bluntness caught the woman on the other side of the phone off guard, she had never thought that someone would ask such a question.

　　”May I ask if you are a ghost?”

　　Chen Ge repeated again, her tone calm and natural, sounding as if she was asking if you’ve eaten today?

　　The woman’s breathing became rapid, she inexplicably felt a wave of irritation, murmurs began to appear in the microphone, and the signal suddenly became poor.

　　”If you don’t answer that’s a default.”

　　Chen Ge held the cell phone, his body leaning against the door, those who didn’t know were afraid that he was on the phone with an old friend that he hadn’t seen in years.

　　”I ……” The woman on the other side of the phone wanted to say something but felt that it was inappropriate, she couldn’t figure out at all what kind of mindset the other party was in to ask such a difficult question for a ghost.

　　A normal person, found himself on the phone with a ghost, the first reaction should not be to scream and throw the phone to the side?

　　Even if you can’t throw the phone away, hanging up with a trembling hand is fine!

　　Why are you not only not afraid, but even take the initiative to come over and ask?

　　The woman on the other side of the cell phone whispered a few words, and the call was suddenly cut off.

　　Listening to the busy tone coming from the cell phone side, Chen Ge didn’t feel surprised, “It seems to be annoyed after being recognized by me.”

　　He put away his cell phone and stood in the dark corridor, “There are three tenants missing or killed in room 304, the gambler and the salesman I just met, and the woman who played the role of an intermediary is most likely the second homeowner’s English teacher.”

　　It wasn’t even twelve midnight yet, Chen Ge had already met three different ghosts, and he had a hunch that this was just the beginning.

　　”I don’t know what other strange and weird guys I’ll meet after midnight, looks like I’m going to have to change my mindset on breaking the game.” Chen Ge put on his backpack and walked to the door of room 304 with his skull-crushing hammer, “Instead of being led by the nose, it’s better to be more direct.”

　　The light of room 305 was reflected in the dark corridor, and among the entire Third Hospital family compound, only Chen Ge’s light here was on.

　　”Most of the residents in the neighborhood are concentrated in the first two buildings, and this last building seems to be a taboo for them.” Chen Ge grabbed the door lock of room 304 and shook it vigorously twice, the rust came off and the door frame trembled lightly.

　　Probably because there had been multiple murders and the police had violently unlocked the door more than once, there were obvious signs of prying apart on the edge of the lock.

　　”Smashing the door is too rough, not something I like to do, but there’s no better way now.”

　　Looking at the location, Chen Ge swung the skull crushing hammer!

　　”Boom! Boom!”

　　After a few consecutive sounds the lock was smashed askew, Chen Ge shoved the hammer handle into the doorway again and hard pried the door of the room open.

　　”Making such a big commotion, no family in the neighborhood dared to say anything, it seems that these ghosts usually didn’t tease them much.”

　　Entering 304 and turning on the lights in the living room, Chen Ge realized that this room was very strange.

　　The furniture such as the sofa and dining table were normal, but anything that could be opened, such as the drawers and closet were all sealed with wooden boards.

　　”This is what makes it a bit of a murder house.”

　　Probably due to the aging and poor contact of the wiring, the lights in the living room flickered on and off, making people instinctively feel uneasy.

　　Walking to the center of the house, Chen Ge touched the backrest of the sofa, the house hadn’t been inhabited for a long time, but it was spotless, as if someone had been cleaning it.

　　”Two rooms and one hall, same layout as room 305, only the furniture is much shabbier.”

　　Chen Ge walked to the side of the shoe cabinet and looked at the wooden boards nailed to it, and was a little curious in his heart, “Why are all the cabinets and drawers sealed? Could there be something horrible hidden inside?”

　　Swinging the skull crushing hammer, Chen Ge smashed the shoe cabinet open, a few pairs of shoes were thrown inside, other than that there was nothing else.

　　”Was it left behind by the deceased?”

　　Leather shoes, high heels, and slippers were haphazardly stuffed inside, Chen Ge tilted the cabinet to pour out those shoes, and he was surprised to find that all of them had been pierced and scratched by fruit knives.

　　”Knife marks? Did the tenant do this?”

　　Unable to find any clues from the shoes, Chen Ge looked elsewhere.

　　The living room was not big, opposite the attached sofa was a TV cabinet, and interestingly enough, the drawer underneath the TV cabinet was also nailed by wooden boards.

　　”The item I extracted is called the drawer that can’t be opened, does that mean that if I try all the drawers and meet the one that can’t be opened and take it away, I’ll be fine?”

　　No one could give Chen Ge an answer, he could only try it himself.

　　The TV cabinet was in a low position, and Chen Ge took a lot of effort to remove the wooden boards on it.

　　”Wow!”

　　Pulling open the drawer, a videotape inside that was in a black box fell out.

　　”Videotapes? How many years ago was this.” He pulled a newer looking one out of it and slipped it into the VCR underneath the TV.

　　Plugging it in and hitting the switch, it seemed as if a shadow flashed across the screen the moment the TV started up.

　　”Was it a shadow flashing in the video? Or did something just run past me?” Chen Ge kept his guard up, he knew very well that the gambler who had lost a hand had ended up fleeing into the middle of room 304, and he was probably hiding somewhere in this room right now.

　　The videotape was something from many years ago, with poor picture quality, and the TV seemed to be faulty, with the screen flashing white bars and snowflakes from time to time.

　　It was already a miracle that something so many years old could work, Chen Ge didn’t care about those details and squatted in front of the TV to watch it.

　　The videotape recorded the scenes in this house, the picture was completely still, the person recording the video should have fixed the camera somewhere.

　　”What is he filming?” After a minute, the TV screen still hadn’t changed in any way, Chen Ge waited with some impatience, he found the remote control and tried to fast forward.

　　The first half of the video was all normal, but the second half was a bit strange.

　　The second half of the videotape was shot at night, and the scene on the screen was pretty much the same as Chen Ge’s at the moment.

　　The lights were on in the house, the camera was set up on the TV, and the lens was aimed at the living room, just enough to take in the living room and the doors of the several rooms next to it.

　　”A drawer full of videotapes indicates that the person using the camera to film is filming their house for a long time.”

　　Chen Ge vaguely understood the house owner’s intention, he should have experienced a paranormal event, and in order to prove for sure what was in his mind, that’s why he wanted to use a video camera to film everything.

　　”Or not to say that curiosity killed the cat, found out that this house is not right do not hurry to move away, but also stayed for death.” Chen Ge finished holding the repeater in his arms before continuing to watch the video.

　　The picture quality was poor, and when Chen Ge fast-forwarded to the end of the video, the unchanging picture suddenly changed.

　　The original normal lighting in the video began to become the same as in reality, bright and dim, and whenever the lights dimmed, the closed bedroom door in the video would open a little.
