Chapter 0600 – The Man Without a Shadow
Dirty hair swayed with the gloomy wind, and the woman’s throat made the sound of bones rubbing together; she moved quickly, and her body had already pressed over by the time Chen Ge opened his mouth.
Judging from the female ghost’s reaction, she did not want to listen to Chen Ge.
”It’s been a long time since I felt like this.” As if dancing on the edge of a cliff, cold sweat couldn’t be stopped, Chen Ge’s back pressed against the backrest of the sofa, and his hands grasped the armrests of the sofa.
”I don’t mean to be rude, and I’m here just to clear up one thing! A few years ago there was a tenant in this room who was haunted by an evil spirit, at that time you guys showed up and warned him, now his life is in danger, if we don’t figure out the reason, he probably won’t live long!”
If anyone else had come over, I’m afraid they would have been so frightened that they would have been incoherent, screamed madly, or even had a direct mental breakdown. But Chen Ge was different, he used the shortest amount of time to say all the things he wanted to say in his heart.
The female ghost didn’t continue to come closer, Chen Ge was relieved, he wanted to change to a comfortable position, but as soon as he twisted his neck, he saw that there was still a child standing on his side.
That child’s skin was an abnormal grayish-white color, his spine was broken, his head was hanging on his chest, and his eyes were rolling upwards from the bottom, staring straight at Chen Ge.
”Is this your child? What a cute little guy …… “Chen Ge cracked his mouth, he knew that Jia Ming didn’t hold a heavy weight in the old mansion’s ghosts and monsters’ hearts, and after a slight hesitation, he immediately added: “That tenant is my best friend, he once told me that his happiest period of time was spent in this He once told me that his happiest time was spent in this old house, and that the landlord’s old lady treated him especially well, and he cherished this memory. But lately, he seems to have changed completely, saying that he can only control himself by destroying all the good things, I thought he was joking at first, but who knew that he was really out of his mind, and if I hadn’t called the police to stop him last night, he would have appeared with a knife in our old mansion!”
Being sandwiched between two ghosts, Chen Ge didn’t know what he was talking about, in any case, it was right to put everything on Jia Ming.
The ghosts and monsters in the old mansion should have seen the shadow before, and Chen Ge felt that he should be able to remind them of what happened a few years ago by saying this.
He didn’t need to directly convince the ghosts and monsters in the old mansion, he only needed the other party to give him a chance to speak, as long as the other party didn’t come up and directly kill him, the rest would be fine.
”I don’t believe that my friend would do such a thing, but I have to tell you that the landlord’s old lady is in a dangerous situation, that monster in my friend’s body wants to kill her!” The more Chen Ge spoke, the more emotional she became, and slowly she wasn’t so scared anymore, “The old lady is a kind person, kind people shouldn’t be hurt!”
Jia Ming was just a passerby to the ghosts and monsters in the old mansion, but the old lady was different, she was their relative.
After Chen Ge finished saying this, the small child standing next to him twisted his head to look at the female ghost.
With his five senses distorted, Chen Ge was unable to tell anything from that face of the female ghost.
His brain spun rapidly, and combined with his previous rich experience, he simulated three more different plans in his mind, but just as he was about to implement another plan, the female ghost and the small child suddenly retreated to both sides.
The door to the room was opened by someone, and an old woman in her seventies or eighties was holding the key, her mouth muttering to herself, “Qianqian? You guys are back?”
The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, and he looked into the room with a hint of anticipation, only to end up right in front of Chen Ge, who was paralyzed on the sofa.
”Listen to my explanation!” Chen Ge hurriedly stood up and walked towards the old man, but his pants were tugged at that moment.
He twisted his head to look back, and the child was hiding on the back of the sofa, reaching out and grabbing his legs, the eerie head shaking from side to side as if to warn Chen Ge not to tell anyone about his and the female ghost’s existence.
”Don’t worry.”
”Who are you talking to?” Although the old man was old, he wasn’t confused at all, she took the key and entered the house, looking directly behind Chen Ge, at this time, both the little boy and the female ghost had disappeared.
”Did I speak just now?” Chen Ge saw the old man enter the room and whispered, “Granny, don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a thief, I just wanted to come over and ask you something, just now I saw that the door was unlocked, so I thought to come in and look for you, and as a result, when the wind blew, I accidentally brought the door with me.”
”Can the wind unlock the door from the outside?” The old lady was very bad at fooling around, she looked at Chen Ge and suddenly put her hand into her pocket, taking out a cleanly washed handkerchief when Chen Ge was on high alert: “Wipe your sweat, it’s okay even if you’re a thief, there’s not much of value in this old house of mine.”
”Granny, you are so nice.” Chen Ge completely relaxed, and he didn’t want to beat around the bush: “I have a friend who used to live here with you for a while, and now he’s in a very bad situation, always saying that there’s another person living in his body, and yelling that he’s going to destroy all of the good memories he had before …… ”
”You also came here because of Jia Ming, right?” The old lady interrupted Chen Ge.
Both eyebrows lightly frowning, Chen Ge immediately pursued, “Someone has looked for him before me?”
”A few days ago, a police officer surnamed Yan came to my place and verified something with me.”
”Surname Yan? What did he ask?” Chen Ge instantly thought of Team Yan.
”Probably just asked about my impression of Jia Ming, that kid is from the countryside, down-to-earth and hardworking, just stubborn and unlucky.” The old lady mentioned Jia Ming with some regret.
”Then did he ask why Jia Ming moved away?” Chen Ge realized that he had underestimated the city branch, before Jia Ming opened his mouth, Team Yan and the others had already found out all about Jia Ming’s past.
”I asked, in fact, I don’t know why that kid was in a hurry to move out, he didn’t take any of his bedding or luggage, and he didn’t want it even when I wanted to send it to him.”
”Then can you recall what happened the night before he moved out? He should have come home very late that day.” Chen Ge wanted to compare the old man’s words with Jia Ming’s to see if Jia Ming had lied.
”I was in my room the whole time, and I didn’t ……” The old woman said here and suddenly stopped, she stared at Chen Ge’s face for a long time, “Have I seen you before?”
”Seen me?” Chen Ge was really a bit surprised this time.
”Yes, I remember, that night I heard Jia Ming walking around the house, I thought he had a fight with Xiaoling so I wanted to go over to persuade him, but I ended up seeing a person standing in front of his house when I walked to the second floor.” The old lady slowly raised her arm, her withered hand, and pointed at Chen Ge: “It’s you, the person standing in front of his house that day was you!”
The old lady panicked, if the situation developed according to what she wanted, Chen Ge should have revealed a sardonic smile at this time, and then said something like since you’ve seen my face, I can’t keep you.
But the actual situation was that Chen Ge took the initiative to move away from the old lady, sat down on the sofa, and fell into deep thought.
The old lady had also seen the “person” who looked just like Chen Ge, which also proved that the shadow was indeed related to Chen Ge, or at least the two of them had a similar appearance.
”No wonder the child and the female ghost kept staring at my face when they saw me, they should have been startled as well.” Chen Ge muttered in a low voice, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the old lady again, “Granny, the person you saw that night who looked like me, did he do anything strange?”
The old lady shook her head, “He just kept standing outside the door, by the way, I was holding a lamp in my hand at that time, but after the light shone on him, I realized that person he didn’t seem to have a shadow.”
