Chapter 0365 – Raincoat
It was more than ten o’clock at night, Chen Ge already knew the exact location of his house from Dr. Gao’s mouth, and when he looked in that direction, there was a house in the middle of the floor that was brightly lit, as if all the lights in the house had been turned on.
”It should be that house.”
The windows were tightly closed, and behind the curtains stood a woman, who looked nervous, and from time to time would pull open the curtains to look downstairs.
”Gao Ruxue?”
The woman later saw Chen Ge as well, but she didn’t show surprise or surprise, only a face full of panic, as if she had seen something very scary.
”It seems like the cell phone ghost is affecting her.”
People would faint when they suddenly encountered a shock that exceeded their tolerance limit, which was the body’s self-protection mechanism.
But the terror created by the cell phone ghost was different from this kind of sudden fright, it slowly tortured the victim by inducing their own fear, leaving them on the verge of collapse for a long time. In this state, the subject would most likely be driven crazy or do something extremely irrational.
”Don’t do anything stupid!”
Chen Ge rushed into the building and pressed the elevator, but it stopped at the 13th floor and never came down.
He had no choice but to go climb the stairs.
After completing so many tasks issued by the black cell phone, compared to logical thinking and guts, Chen Ge felt that his most obvious improvement was actually his physical ability.
Turning on the repeater and holding the skull-crushing hammer in his hand, Chen Ge wasn’t afraid of scaring the residents of the building and ran wildly towards the upper floors with all his might, he was very fast!
A layer of sound-activated lights lit up, Chen Ge arrived at the thirteenth floor in one breath.
In the empty corridor, one of the households had an outside security door that was left open, which was very conspicuous.
”Found it!”
Chen Ge rushed to the door and shouted Gao Ruxue’s name, but there was no one in the house to respond at all, only Gao Ruxue’s agonized whimpering could be heard, as well as the sound of something being broken.
The girl who had the impression of being calm and rational seemed to have gone crazy at this time, Chen Ge didn’t dare to delay any longer and swung his skull crushing hammer to smash the door inside!
”Boom!”
Swinging with all his might, the skull crushing hammer’s blood grooves were vaguely moving, and Chen Ge didn’t know how many times he had smashed the door, the door lock was finally smashed open.
Carrying the skull crushing hammer, Chen Ge rushed into the house, and at a glance, he saw that Gao Ruxue’s upper body was tilted to the window.
What was even more horrifying was that there was a bony child on top of Gao Ruxue’s head, and that child was holding her head, blocking her ears with her body, and a pair of hands were tightly covering her eyes.
”Xu Yin!”
Chen Ge’s shout could be heard on several floors, all the lights in the house all went out at this instant, the air seemed to freeze, and a blood red figure pounced on Gao Ruxue!
Seeing Xu Yin come over, the child above Gao Ruxue’s head had a horrified expression, and without any hesitation, she let go and disappeared.
Gao Ruxue, whose senses had returned to normal, hadn’t even regained her senses when she saw another red-clothed evil spirit covered in wounds and dripping with blood pouncing towards her.
She wanted to scream, but her voice could no longer produce any sound, and with her hands powerless, she let her body tumble backwards.
”Hold on to me!”
The familiar voice appeared once again, Gao Ruxue’s lax pupils slowly came into focus, the evil ghosts in the room had disappeared, and only Chen Ge had a death grip on her arm.
The lights had gone out, Gao Ruxue looked at the man standing in the darkness, her thinking gradually returned to normal.
With one foot on the edge of the window, Chen Ge used all his strength to drag Gao Ruxue up.
Looking at the stunned Gao Ruxue, Chen Ge’s own heart was thumping, “Fortunately, the security door outside was open, if that door was also locked, there was no way for me to come in in such a short time.”
Sitting down, Chen Ge was still a bit uneasy about Gao Ruxue, dragging her to the sofa, “It’s okay, you rest well, I’ll go call Dr. Gao.”
Ten minutes later, the lights in the house came back on and footsteps sounded in the hallway.
Chen Ge looked up only to realize that it was Dr. Gao rushing over, he was completely different from his usual appearance, without that mature man’s confidence and poise, gasping for breath, his eyes full of worry.
”Yuki.” Plopping down next to the sofa, Dr. Gao grabbed Gao Ruxue’s hand, the always cold Gao Ruxue finally showed her vulnerable side at this time.
Silently loading the skull crushing hammer into his backpack, Chen Ge picked up Gao Ruxue’s broken cell phone and walked outside the door alone.
Tonight’s matter wasn’t over yet, and that cell phone ghost he was bound to get!
”A severe ghost below the red coat can’t be exposed for a long time, it has to be attached to something to work, that cell phone ghost won’t escape far.”
Chen Ge didn’t go after it blindly, his thoughts had been clear.
”When I just entered the building and prepared to take the elevator, the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor and never came down, at that time, the cell phone ghost was lying on top of Gao Ruxue’s head to blind her perception, so that means that the one who didn’t allow the elevator to come down was another person or ghost.”
There was obviously someone behind the cell phone ghost, and that manipulator was most likely the person who blocked the elevator door and didn’t let the elevator go down.
”If it was just to lure Gao Ruxue away, then he didn’t even need to do more than that because he had no reason to kill Gao Ruxue. The plan failed, drawing away is the best choice, making a move to forcefully kill someone at this time will only expose himself more.”
”Why did he suddenly change his attention and want to kill Gao Ruxue?”
Chen Ge came up with several answers in his mind, and one of the most likely scenarios was – Gao Ruxue had seen the murderer unintentionally.
Because Gao Ruxue had seen the murderer, in order not to expose herself, the murderer had temporarily changed her mind and wanted to silence her.
”Manipulating the cell phone ghost, luring me out of New Century Paradise, and luring Ruxue Gao elsewhere, the one leading all of this behind the scenes should be the Weird Tales Association.” Chen Ge leaned against the wall, his eyes looking out of the window, all the clues in his mind stringing together, “After this night passes, the Weird Talk Association should be the only one left.”
Chen Ge went back inside the house and asked Dr. Gao to go to the cell to access the thirteenth floor surveillance, while he squatted next to the sofa and waited until Dr. Gao left before speaking, “Did you see any strange people on your way home?”
”Strange people?” Gao Ruxue thought for a while, “The driver who drove me back had a big problem, he kept telling me about the eye gouging murder case.”
”Is there anyone else besides him?” Gao Ruxue was affected by the cell phone ghost, no matter what she saw, she would associate it with the most horrifying aspects.
After pondering for a while, Gao Ruxue suddenly spoke, “When I was in the hallway getting ready to take the elevator, a man wearing an oversized raincoat just happened to come out of the elevator, and I came face to face with him.”
”Raincoat?” Chen Ge came to his senses, “Did you see his face?”
”No, the man’s whole body was hidden in the raincoat.” Gao Ruxue wanted to say something, but finally said it, “After he came out of the elevator, I didn’t know why I was afraid to take the elevator, worrying that when I went in, something would suddenly rush in. Then I climbed the stairs, and when I got to the sixth floor, the security door on the first floor was opened and someone came after me.”
