Chapter 0598 – Someone is behind me
”Holding the teacup, I pondered for a long time until I saw the figure reflected on the teacup.”
”When I faced the teacup, the figure reflected on the teacup also faced me.”
”It occurred to me that I had just looked back at myself in the mirror without turning my head? He was facing me, as if ……”
Jia Ming couldn’t speak, as if his neck was being pinched, and panic came out of his eyes, “A cool air came from behind me, the living room sofa happened to have its back to the bathroom, and I could feel that there was something behind me at this moment! It’s like there’s a person standing there!”
”I don’t dare to turn back, turn the cup of tea, the line of sight downward movement, I want to see through the cup of tea to see what in the end behind me.”
”Turning the cup a little, the cool air behind me is slowly approaching, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up in sweat, when I am about to see behind myself, the exposed skin of my neck feels a hint of tingling, as if it were hair hanging down to my neck.”
”My arms trembled, I couldn’t control them at all, and the teacup fell to the floor, spilling the coffee inside everywhere.”
”Screaming at the top of my lungs, I grabbed the ashtray and fruit bowl on the coffee table and slammed them behind me, then rushed recklessly for the door to my room.”
”Grabbing the door lock with both hands, I looked back into the room, there was nothing in the room, the only difference was that the television signal had been interfered with, there was no picture, just a constantly flashing blue and white background.”
”It was so quiet all around me that the only sound that could be heard was a stabbing noise coming from the television.”
”I was afraid to stay in the house for long and wanted to run out, but I was deterred by the thought that I had seen the boy in the hallway with his head and legs bent at an incredible angle, and I was terrified that he was right outside the door at that moment.”
”The hallway wasn’t safe, and I didn’t know how to go about it, my body frozen in the doorway of my room.”
”As I hesitated, the image on the TV screen flashed faster and faster. I vaguely realized that between the flashing images, a woman’s face was slowly becoming clear!”
”I no longer dared to stay, opened the door to my room and ran straight out.”
”Without looking in all directions, I rushed to the street in one breath, but the dimly lit street still couldn’t bring me a sense of security, I ran forward desperately like a madman, and finally sat in the middle of the road, being illuminated by the streetlights around me, before I stopped.”
After telling this, Jia Ming’s forehead and back had been drenched in cold sweat, and the audience present all looked unnatural.
Jia Ming’s tone of voice, combined with his panicked and terrified appearance, listening to him tell the story gave the surrounding few people a sense of being there.
The policewoman’s hand holding the pen became noticeably harder, while Li Zheng glanced at Chen Ge: ”Did you hear anything? Dr. Gao told me before he disappeared that you were also well-versed in psychology, were ghosts a figment of something in his eyes?”
”This story of his is very interesting, I can briefly analyze it first.” Chen Ge stood up and sat next to the hospital bed, “Jia Ming started off by saying that he saw someone in Jiang Long’s villa coercing him, holding a knife and forcing him to do things that made him suffer. And he said with certainty that the person looked exactly like me.”
”After crashing this, he fled back to his house. When he entered the building, the old lady said something to him – you guys walk softly, which means that the old lady saw that there was more than just Jamin in the building, and that the person was very close to Jamin! Close enough for the old man to misunderstand and think that the person behind Jia Ming and Jia Ming were together.” Chen Ge smiled and looked at Jia Ming, “If he’s telling the truth, then something has been following him since that time, and there’s a high possibility that this thing is the bad guy he saw in the villa – the ‘me’ who forced Jiang Long with a knife ‘, not to mention how difficult it was to follow him silently, or how ‘I’ had tricked him only to be discovered by an old man. Assuming this is all true, continue on with the analysis.”
”Next he ran to his own house on the second floor, and when he opened the door he saw another pair of feet and a child’s head on the corner of the third floor, which appeared in a thought-provoking location, on the third floor.”
”Jia Ming himself said the old lady’s son’s family of three had a car accident, the third floor is for the dead, want to leave a thought.”
”Take a wild guess, that child on the third floor is the old lady’s grandson, the child who was killed in the car accident. But this is strange, Jia Ming had already stayed at the old lady’s place for so long without seeing any ghosts, so why did he see a ghost that night?”
Chen Ge was seriously analyzing, but this looked more like one crazy person in a mental hospital counseling another crazy person to Li Zheng and the policewoman.
”The answer is simple, that kid ghost also saw the person behind Jia Ming, notice the posture of the kid when he appeared, standing at the corner of the stairs with his head sticking down as if he was peeking. This means that the person behind Jia Ming is probably much more terrifying than him.” Chen Ge wore a smile on his face, “It’s the first time I’ve heard of a person being able to scare a ghost.”
”After entering the room, there was another detail, when Jia Ming realized that the person in the mirror was moving in the opposite direction to him, he felt something coming from behind him, and as he turned his teacup in preparation to watch who was really behind him, his neck seemed to be touched by hair.” Chen Ge paused for a moment, “This is a very important point, ‘I’ have short hair, the vast majority of men have short hair, when bowing his head, it is simply impossible for the hair to fall down to his neck, which means that the person who stood behind him at that time was a woman, or a female ghost is a better way to describe it. ”
”Further on when he was about to flee the room, he saw that there was a problem with the TV, the image on the screen began to flash, and a woman’s face vaguely surfaced, which could also be a side note to show that even if there was a ghost in the house, it was a female ghost. Combined with the previous words, the real identity of this female ghost could be the old lady’s daughter-in-law who died in a car accident.”
”In Jia Ming’s story, two ghosts appeared, and they were both related to the story the old lady told him. The reason why this happened was most likely because Jia Ming had done something that night and was under tremendous psychological pressure, thus causing him to constantly be psyching himself up in some way, creating hallucinations and fantasizing about the ghosts in the story.” Chen Ge used some of the terminology he had learned from Dr. Gao later on, occasionally interspersed with a few English words that he himself didn’t understand what they meant, but saying them gave people a very professional feeling.
Under his explanation, Li Zheng and the policewoman eased up and kept nodding their heads, and they were also more inclined to think that it was Jia Ming who was crazy than the ghosts and monsters.
After successfully clearing himself of suspicion, Chen Ge calmly looked at Jia Ming, perhaps it was his eyes that reminded Jia Ming of something horrible, or perhaps it was because Jia Ming realized the danger, his body suddenly convulsed, and he very suddenly fainted on the hospital bed.
”I didn’t touch him.” Chen Ge raised his hands and stood at the side of the hospital room, watching the doctors and nurses come in and out busily as he slowly clenched his hands.
There were some things he didn’t say to the police, in fact, he felt that Jia Ming shouldn’t have lied.
That person who looked the same as Chen Ge should be Shadow, as for why he would look the same as Chen Ge, this was something he himself did not know.
Those told by Jia Ming later were also estimated to be true, the shadow followed him back to the rented place and was seen by the old lady, which alarmed the dead ghosts living on the third floor of the old lady’s house.
The child ghost is the old lady’s grandson, the female ghost is the old lady’s daughter-in-law, and there should be a male ghost in the house that has not been Jiaming.
”The shadow followed Jia Ming back to the house, those three undead spirits were protecting him, but unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and the undead spirits could only use their own methods to remind him and make him realize the danger.” Chen Ge knew that there was a high probability that Jia Ming wasn’t lying, but he would still go ahead and stir up this pool of water because there was no way for him to determine if the shadow was still on Jia Ming right now.
Shadow was very cunning, and it was also possible that all of this was Shadow’s attempt to use the police to lay a trap.
”It’s actually not difficult to prove whether Jia Ming was telling the truth or not.” Chen Ge called Li Zheng outside the ward and inquired about the location of the old lady that Jia Ming was talking about, then left the hospital directly, ready to go over and ask in person.
He wanted to know what the old lady had actually seen that night, and he also wanted to find those few dead souls and ask them how they felt at that time.
