Chapter 0532: If you don’t say it, I’ll come every day in the future
Jiang Xiaohu was obviously unwilling to get too close to Chen Ge, but his hands and feet were bound by ropes, so he could only watch as Chen Ge sat next to him.
”You look nervous, is it because there are too many people in this room?” Chen Ge looked at Jiang Xiaohu with great concern: “Relax, we are all here to help you.”
After saying this, he looked at Dr. Pei, “Can you leave me alone with him for a while? This child doesn’t seem to be too used to so many people surrounding him.”
Dr. Pei looked embarrassed, to be honest, he didn’t feel that the abnormality Jiang Xiaohu showed was because of the crowd, “It’s not too good, Jiang Xiaohu has a record of hurting people, I’m worried if you stay here alone ……”
”It’s fine, you guys don’t have to worry about my safety.” Chen Ge put down his backpack, and he didn’t know what was in the heavy backpack, “This kid just lacks a chance to communicate, and he may be hiding a soft side inside that he doesn’t know.”
The caregivers and nurses all looked at Dr. Pei, before when they cooperated with the police to investigate Jiang Xiaohu, the other police did not make such a request.
Dr. Pei wanted to refuse, but then considered that Chen Ge was introduced to them by Li Zheng, and the case they were responsible for involved several lives.
After thinking about it for a while, Dr. Pei nodded, “We’ll be right outside the door, if this kid suddenly gets sick and acts aggressively towards you, you just need to call out for help and we’ll rush in.”
”Alright, thank you several people.”
The staff of the mental hospital left the ward one after another, as he watched them walk out one by one, Jiang Xiaohu became even more frightened, he made strange noises in his throat as if a wounded beast was in danger.
When the door of the ward was closed, making sure that the doctors couldn’t see the scene inside the room, Chen Ge took the repeater out of the middle of his backpack and pressed the switch.
Rustling electric current sounded in the ward, and the sound seemed to drill itself into the brain, stimulating every nerve.
”Some soothing music, doesn’t it feel better?”
Chen Ge had been watching Jiang Xiaohu, observing his every move, and after ten seconds or so he suddenly spoke, “You should have seen a ghost, right?”
His pupils trembled and Jiang Xiaohu’s eyes widened as he wanted to move away from Chen Ge even more.
”Reacting that much, did I guess it? Let me think, did you see her corpse with your own eyes and she came back to life a few days later? Appearing in other places?”
Leaving aside whether or not Jiang Xiaohu was really mentally ill, just listening to the questions Chen Ge asked, if Dr. Pei was present, he would definitely think that Chen Ge wasn’t very normal either.
The ropes tied to the legs of the bed were straightened, and Jiang Xiaohu reacted even more violently.
”Regardless of whether you’re truly crazy or fake crazy, I hope you understand one thing is thing, you’re the only one of a family of four who survived, not because you were lucky, but simply because she purposely spared you.”
Chen Ge had a doubt in his mind when he was playing that game, how did Boo know that her classmate’s house had a secret room?
At first, Chen Ge thought that it was a message left by her mother, but her mother wasn’t doing anything very honorable and shouldn’t have told her young daughter about this.
There was a detail in the game where Boo found the key in her mom’s pajamas, but when you think about it, how could a person who was imprisoned have an exit key in her clothes pocket?
After seeing Jiang Xiaohu, Chen Ge had a guess, could it be that this kid stole the key and gave it to Boo’s mom?
And the reason why Boo had entered the secret room might also be because Jiang Xiaohu had told her, after all, they were classmates.
”I won’t take sides, I just want to know the truth about that year.” The sound of the electric current in the repeater slowly became louder, and the lights in the ward flickered, the light distorted and seemed to have gotten much darker.
A blood-red figure vaguely emerged on Chen Ge’s side, Jiang Xiaohu was truly terrified, he could no longer control himself and shouted out.
”You can feel his presence? Are you recalling something?” Chen Ge summoned Xu Yin not to intentionally scare Jiang Xiaohu, he just wanted Xu Yin to check Jiang Xiaohu’s body to see if there was anything dirty hidden inside him.
Jiang Xiaohu’s expression was horrified, it was as if he was dreaming and talking nonsense as he pointed at Chen Ge and screamed.
”Is it because it’s been too long since he’s interacted with people and lost the ability to speak? Or did Xu Yin scare this kid?”
Turning off the repeater, Xu Yin didn’t see a ghostly figure from this kid, he was just an ordinary kid.
The sound of electricity faded in the room, Chen Ge held Jiang Xiaohu’s hand that was tightly tugging on the rope, “I’m helping you, and I’m also helping her, I know there’s a lingering shadow in your heart. Speak up, just treat me as a passing guest who will never appear again, and I can promise not to tell a third person about our conversation.”
After a few minutes, Jiang Xiaohu slowly calmed down, his head in a cold sweat, his chest heaving and gasping for air.
Chen Ge had just directly summoned Red Clothes out, not to mention Jiang Xiaohu, even a different adult wouldn’t be able to carry it.
”If you don’t tell me, in the future, I might come over to see you every day until you tell me the truth.” Chen Ge placed the repeater on the bedside and said very seriously.
Jiang Xiaohu finally couldn’t bear the pressure and spoke, “What do you want to ask?”
”Let’s start with your father, why did he go to imprison living people? And why did things keep happening to the Ming Yang neighborhood he was in charge of?”
”I don’t know exactly what happened, I only know that Jiang Long had said that the Ming Yang Cell development project was a scam, that someone had forced him to do it, and that the four buildings weren’t for people to live in, they were specifically for ghosts to repair.”
The voice broke, and it took Chen Ge a long time to figure out what Jiang Xiaohu meant: “Who would go and force him to do such a thing?”
”Very early on Jiang Long had said that he always felt like there was something staring at him behind his back all the time, and after seeing so many psychiatrists, they all thought that it was caused by the stress of his work. But then his condition got worse and worse and he started babbling about how he witnessed his shadow coming to life, he even felt that his shadow possessed a mind and could communicate with him.”
”And how did your father’s condition get under control later?”
”I’m not sure, after waking up one morning, Jiang Long looked like he suddenly became spirited, and it was from that day on that he gave me a completely different feeling from before, with many more strange habits …… ” Jiang Xiaohu paused for a moment, somewhat hesitant: “It was from that time that I stopped calling him father, because I always felt that there was another person living in his body, and I suspected that he had been replaced by his own shadow.”
”Replaced by his own shadow?” Chen Ge thought of the shadow from the water plant in the eastern suburb, this monster was laying out all over the place, manipulating people’s hearts in the shadows, and it was even trickier than he had previously thought.
”As for him imprisoning the living, that’s purely his own business, and has nothing to do with my family at all.” Jiang Xiaohu opened his mouth, but finally spoke up, “The years before Jiang Long’s accident, he seemed to have been doing similar things, he deliberately brought people to Liwan Town, then tortured them psychologically and physically to make them fall into despair, and I don’t know what exactly he was trying to achieve by doing this. Maybe this is his own special hobby?”
The experiences of his childhood had made will Jiang Xiaohu somewhat precocious, after he finished speaking, he stole a glance at Chen Ge, then fell silent again.
