Chapter 0299 – You bunch of theater masters!
The camera was placed on the TV to shoot, and the image captured from this angle was exactly what Chen Ge turned around to see.
The lights were flickering, squatting in front of the TV, Chen Ge slowly had an illusion, it was as if he wasn’t watching the video, but rather looking at the living room behind him.
The lights in the living room were still flickering, and the frequency of the flickering lights in reality seemed to gradually overlap with the frequency of the flickering lights in the video.
When the lights in the TV screen dimmed, the lights in the living room dimmed with them, and it wouldn’t be long before they brightened again at the same time.
”The video is affecting reality? No, it’s haunted by ghosts.” Chen Ge didn’t turn around, his eyes were firmly fixed on the bedroom door that was slowly opening in the video.
Every time the lights dimmed, the bedroom door would open outwards by a few centimeters, and when the lights flashed for the seventh time, Chen Ge saw a strand of black hair peeking out from behind the bedroom door.
”The hair is very long, it should be a woman, she can’t be the second homeowner, right?” Chen Ge still didn’t turn around, he just gripped the skull crushing hammer in his hand.
As the lights in the room dimmed for the eighth time, the strands of hair were blown by the wind, and a small half of the face began to stick out.
Chen Ge stared at the face in the video and counted silently in his heart, the time each time the lights dimmed seemed to be fixed.
The face lying in the bedroom doorway in the video tilted outward and was just about to be revealed when the lights in the video and reality suddenly went out at the same time!
”Xu Yin!” Chen Ge reacted almost within a second, holding the hammer with both hands and swinging it round towards his back!
The skull-crushing hammer smashed on the sofa, and Chen Ge’s eyes scanned the surrounding area.
The room was pitch black, and something was vaguely moving.
After about a few seconds, the lights came back on.
Nothing had changed in the realistic living room, but the bedroom door was open, exactly as it had been shown in the video!
Chen Ge looked back at the TV, the screen was full of black and white snowflakes, the video ended here.
Kicking off the couch, Chen Ge looked at the slowly spinning tape and waited until Xu Yin’s voice sounded before he slowly walked towards the bedroom.
The wooden door was half-open, and a couple of women’s hairs were still falling on the floor, Chen Ge picked them up and rubbed them in his hands.
”You guys are killing my patience like this, be careful I’ll burn you all down with a fire.”
Stepping forward, the bedroom looked a mess, with various sundries thrown on the floor, several rows of wooden boards nailed horizontally on the closet, and the bedside table next to it was also sealed.
”Any furniture that can be opened is all boarded up, what the hell is hidden in all this furniture? And how many tenants left those videos?”
Looking at the furniture that was boarded up all over the room, Chen Ge had an idea: “Did the tenant who took these videos find the reason for the haunting through the videos? That’s why they sealed the drawers and closets?”
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, this tenant should have seen that the ghosts and monsters were crawling out of a certain piece of furniture from the drawers, and to avoid this from happening again, that’s why he sealed all the furniture in the house that could be opened.
Chen Ge stopped in the center of the bedroom, and he thought of another problem: “Counting the female ghost just now, I’ve encountered a total of three ghosts, and all three of them were able to freely enter and exit this room, which means that the tactic of sealing the furniture with wooden boards didn’t work. That means the owner of the house probably missed sealing a drawer, and this unsealed drawer is probably what I’m looking for.”
He took Tiny out of his pocket and placed him in the bedroom doorway warning and swung the skull crushing hammer himself to open the drawers and closet, “All the drawers and closet are sealed, the drawer I’m looking for is in the other bedroom?”
The tiny body on the floor turned outward, seemingly ready to climb out, and when Chen Ge picked her up, he noticed that her hand seemed to be pointing out the door.
At first, he didn’t care, and when he passed the living room room door, he unintentionally swept outside the door.
The doors to both rooms 304 and 305 were left open, and in the middle of the lights of the two rooms, there was a hunched over old woman standing at an unknown time.
She did not say a word, facing room 304, the wrinkles on her face seemed like bean skins, looking a little scary.
Her body froze at the entrance of the room, and Chen Ge subconsciously placed the skull crushing hammer behind her.
”Granny, are you a tenant here?” Chen Ge’s voice remained calm, not making too many waves.
The old lady didn’t answer Chen Ge, her eyes weren’t even on Chen Ge, but rather looked at the drawers that had been violently pried open by Chen Ge.
”It’s so dark, if you old man is fine, you should hurry home.” It was definitely not normal for an old lady to stand outside the door without a word in the middle of the night, in fact, if it was a young man outside instead, Chen Ge would have swung a hammer long ago regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost.
”Did you open those drawers?” The old lady’s voice was hoarse, sounding as if rough bark was rubbing.
”Yes, I’m preparing to buy these two houses, and I’m organizing the furniture now.” Chen Ge’s gaze was fixed on the old man, if the other party made any movement, he would not hesitate to tell Xu Yin to make a move.
”You should hurry up and find a Half Immortal to help you, maybe you’re already haunted by her now.” The old lady was halfway through her sentence and headed downstairs, her footsteps were slow and she walked shakily.
”Pestered by her? You should say it clearly before you leave!”
Chen Ge chased him to the stairs, and the old man pointed to room 304: “There was an English teacher living in that room before, very good-looking and sweet-sounding, and then it seemed to be a love killing. It was separated and packed into a drawer, and was only discovered after a long time, she has a great deal of resentment, all those who enter this room will be haunted by her.”
”English teacher?” Chen Ge felt that this old man had a point and probably wasn’t lying. But the problem now was that a creepy old lady was standing at the door in the middle of the night, which was a very weird thing in itself!
”Granny, why are you telling me this?” Chen Ge stood under the light and didn’t follow the old granny downstairs, then continued to ask, “Can you tell me how you know these things?”
”I live in the building next to me, and the English teacher who was killed was my daughter.” The old lady’s face turned very ugly, even her voice was a bit eerie: “You’re the third, she’s already done a lot of wrong things, I don’t want to see her continue like this.”
”Come on, don’t ever stay in those two houses.” The old lady went down alone, she walked very slowly, as if she was waiting for Chen Ge to follow her down the stairs.
”But I still have a question.” Chen Ge was about to ask the old lady who her daughter had victimized when he suddenly received a message on his cell phone from the very same woman from the intermediary.
”Do you know why the families in that neighborhood don’t dare to make noise and turn off their lights very early in the morning? They have the ghost of an old woman in that neighborhood that often seeks out light and sound to find her way home!”
After reading the message on his cell phone, Chen Ge raised his head again, the old woman stopped at the corner of the stairs, the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, her voice became more and more strange, “Hurry up, follow me downstairs, that room is dangerous.”
Eyes moving between the cell phone screen, the old man and the two rooms, Chen Ge suddenly threw his backpack to the side, the speculations in his head slowly taking shape, “None of them can be trusted, and there’s no need to trust them.”
He summoned Xu Yin and gripped the skull crushing hammer with both hands, “I just want to retrieve my own things, and I’m really not interested in your stories.”
