Chapter 0304 – Night of Strange Talk
Qin Guang and Chen Ge were both blocked from live broadcasting at the same time, and now that Chen Ge has returned and Qin Guang is nowhere to be seen, a large number of curious viewers have flocked to Chen Ge’s short video comment section, and they want to know what really happened that day.
Chen Ge did not even reveal the real situation in the third ward, much less to the audience, he simply replied to a few comments and was about to go offline, his cell phone suddenly vibrated, it was Liu Dao called.
After all, he was once a partner, Chen Ge didn’t refuse, exited the short video page, and answered Liu Dao’s call.
”Chen Ge, did the platform notify you when to unblock the live room?”
”No notification, but it should be soon, is something wrong?” Live streaming was just a means of publicity for Chen Ge, and he actually didn’t care about that.
As the House of Horrors became more and more famous, he preferred to make the live streaming room a platform for House of Horrors fans to communicate, such as posting the progress of the passes every day, as well as previews of new scenes and so on.
”It’s like this, our last collaboration was very successful, I want to make a similar more manageable program.” Liu Dagger was still undeterred, the last time he worked with Chen Ge was the day he raised his eyebrows the most since he was at war with Qin Guang Studio.
”What kind of program?”
”I’ll arrange for a few of my most famous anchors to enter your house of horrors for a live broadcast, do you think it’s reliable?” Liu Dagger was looking forward to Chen Ge’s answer, and he had probably done all sorts of research before asking Chen Ge.
”It’s quite reliable, but the timing isn’t right, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait a while longer.”
”Don’t worry, we’ll pay you a satisfactory figure, in addition the live broadcast is also helping you with publicity isn’t it?” Liu Knife this person has been around the society and is a human savant, he is clear about Chen Ge’s concerns, “You don’t have to worry about us leaking the scenes inside your haunted house either, they are live streaming the whole thing on their cell phones, the picture quality won’t be too good.”
”I don’t have enough scary scenes right now, let me think about it before I say anything.”
Chen Ge didn’t want to expose the details of some of the scenes in the haunted house, so he politely rejected Liu Dao.
Although there were a lot of detailed explanations of horror house strategies on the internet, reading the strategies and being there in person were two completely different experiences, and there were some horrors that could only be understood by experiencing them with a bone-chilling feeling.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ge had not yet put down his cell phone, someone else called.
He thought at first that it was Liu Dagger who was not dying, and only after looking at the caller ID did he realize that it was Team Yan calling.
”Every time he looks for me, it’s never good.” Chen Ge muttered, unaware that the other party had a similar reaction when they saw his call.
”Team Yan? Something wrong?” Chen Ge lay on the bed, relaxed, he was in a good mood tonight.
”I heard from Team Li that you went to Lin Guan Village last night?” Compared to Chen Ge, Team Yan’s voice was very serious, and every time he spoke in such a tone, it meant that things were very serious.
”There’s something wrong with that village?” Chen Ge sat up at once, he hadn’t put the Lin Guan Village at the foot of the big mountain in his eyes before, and had even planned to run to the Living Coffin Village inside the deep mountains to take a look.
”Stay away from Lin Guan Village, and be especially careful not to go over there at night.” Team Yan seemed to have already spoken to Team Li on the phone and knew about some of the things Chen Ge had encountered there.
”Team Yan, you’d better make it clearer, or I’ll be even more curious.”
”You should know about the poisoning case in Lin Guan Village, the only survivor of a family of four was a little girl.”
”That’s clear to me, I’ve even seen her in the orphanage.”
”The last person who took care of the little girl is dead, the body was found in a locked old abandoned mansion in Lin Guan Village.” Team Yan’s voice was frighteningly calm, and one could hear the anger he was hiding.
”Why did the body appear in Lin Guan Village?” Chen Ge’s first thought of the murderer was Jiang Ling’s sister, but he had been in contact with Jiang Ling’s sister, and although the other party possessed the appearance of a monster, her heart was no different from that of a normal person.
”I have also been unable to figure this out, and the initial investigation of the case was once stalled because of this matter. We sorted out everything the deceased had said and done in the days before he was born, all the unusual actions he had done, and finally found a very strange point.” Team Yan seemed to be hesitating whether to tell Chen Ge or not, and after a pause of a few seconds, he finally said, “Before the deceased was alive, he had purchased blood plasma with the convenience of his position.”
”Human blood?”
”Yes, this is the only clue we have.” Team Yan reminded Chen Ge once again, “You must not go to Lin Guan Village alone at night, at least not until we have investigated clearly.”
”Then when do we have to wait?” Chen Ge could wait, but the scenario missions on the black cell phone couldn’t wait, the three-star scenario Living Coffin Village disappeared in six more days.
All the abandoned quests in the black cell phone would never be unlocked in the future.
”At the very least, we have to catch all of the escaped psychos in the third ward building before we can do so.” Speaking of this, Team Yan felt a headache, “They were restrained at first, and after they completely tore their faces off, we realized that we had far underestimated their danger.”
Chen Ge heard something in Yan team’s words, “Did they commit another crime?”
”I’m standing outside the murder scene right now, cleaning up the mess.”
”Murder case?” Chen Ge’s speech slowed down, “Someone was killed?”
”That’s right, there were a total of two, but the scenes were both rather bizarre.”
”The first victim was a robber, the surveillance showed that the victim had just succeeded in committing the crime and hid in a back alley only to never come out again. A passing drunk called the police, the deceased’s eyes were gouged out, the cause of death is unknown.”
”The second deceased was himself a wanted criminal hiding in Jiujiang, he was hanged in a rented house. If the modus operandi wasn’t the same and the victims both had their eyes gouged out, we wouldn’t have even connected the two cases.”
After listening to Team Yan’s narration, Chen Ge also felt something was wrong: “Why were the victims’ eyes gouged out?”
”The opponent was mentally ill, so we can’t put ourselves in a normal person’s shoes and speculate on the thoughts of a madman.” Team Yan sighed, “Roughly speaking, murders like this that possess commonalities are caused by the killer’s eccentricities. Having his eyes gouged out could be a ritual, or it could be because something strange happened to the murderer when he was young that had something to do with his eyes, causing him to leave a psychological shadow. It could also be simply to interfere with our investigation.”
”The possibility of leaving a psychological shadow at an early age is high, many of the patients in Ward 3 were traumatized as children.” Chen Ge firmly memorized Team Yan’s words, the one who committed the crime was most likely the president of the Weird Tales Association, and he wanted to learn as much as he could about this person.
”Right now, I’m more curious about another matter than why the murderer gouged out his eyes.” The sound of fingertips tapping on the desktop came from the other side of the phone, and Team Yan would only unconsciously make such a move when he was deep in thought, “Why did they go about murdering those who were guilty? Could it be that this is proving to us that they are different from ordinary criminals?”
