Chapter 1085 – Those Patients I Treated Respected Me

　　Gently patting Wen Qing’s shoulder, Chen Ge whispered, “Cheer up, this isn’t the time to be sad or regretful.”

　　Wen Qing slowed down for a long time before returning to normal, she took a few deep breaths and nodded.

　　”Next let’s go to the tenth floor and find out what the landlord’s real secret is, after we know everything, we should leave this building.” Xiang Wen and the monster from the cursed hospital had all lost track of them, and Chen Ge didn’t want to stay in the same place for too long, he was worried that he would miss something.

　　Ten minutes later, the group gathered at the corner of the stairs between the ninth and tenth floors, they searched all the places in the house but there was nothing to be found.

　　”The last secret of this building should be hidden on the tenth floor, everyone be prepared.” As Chen Ge said this, his pupils swept over Dr. Li and Big Head.

　　Dr. Li and Big Head were carrying opaque bags containing lock opening tools, the two of them stood together, their gazes averted, not meeting Chen Ge’s eyes, they seemed to have another plan behind Chen Ge’s back.

　　Want to make a move?

　　Chen Ge remained the same as usual, his tone of voice and expression didn’t change much, except that he no longer exposed his back and kept walking with Wen Qing and Xiao Sun.

　　When he went upstairs, Chen Ge also purposely grabbed Kong Weng and kept asking him some irrelevant questions.

　　When they were briefly separated just now, these few tenants were scattered in various rooms, but when they came back, Dr. Lai, Big Head, and Kong Win’s husband and wife were together, and the four of them seemed to have reached the limit of their tolerance for Chen Ge.

　　Coming to the tenth floor, it didn’t take long for a few people to pry open the door of room 1006, prying more and more, they became more and more skillful.

　　After the security door was opened, a faint stench wafted out from the room, as if something had rotted and spoiled.

　　”The tenth floor usually only the landlord will come over, this floor is not for rent.” Qu Win covered his mouth and nose, what was just a very ordinary stench to Chen Ge, the residents of the building found it very pungent, instead it was the stench that Chen Ge found intolerable that no one else could smell.

　　Room 1006 was only roughly decorated, and the floor was full of water and stains.

　　Seeking the pungent odor, several people entered the house and found that room 1006 did not have any furniture placed in it other than one large freezer.

　　”There won’t be a body hidden in the freezer, right?” Wen Qing hid behind Chen Ge, but was again dragged to his side by Chen Ge.

　　”Don’t leave my sight, the corpses are scary but they won’t kill you, it’s not safe behind me.” Chen Ge casually opened a freezer filled with rotten vegetables and meats, as well as large vats of pure water, “What is the landlord doing preparing so many ingredients?”

　　A few people opened all the freezers in the house, and there were no horrifying images, the first few freezers were storing food, the last freezer had all kinds of spoiled meat and raw food scattered around it, and inside the freezer there were a few large packets of medicine.

　　Chen Ge took a packet of medicine out of the freezer and opened a bottle to look at it, “This kind of granular medicine will accelerate the decomposition and deterioration of the drug ingredients after absorbing moisture, which will seriously affect the efficacy of the medicine, the landlord has a large amount of this kind of medicine in his hands, and he understands this kind of medicine very well, so he shouldn’t have put them into the freezer for storage. In addition, you see the raw meat scattered around, the visitor may just want to find a random place to store the extra drugs.”

　　”The one who holds the key after the landlord’s death is definitely the murderer, are you saying that the murderer has entered this place?” Dr. Lai walked over to Chen Ge carrying a black opaque bag.

　　”I didn’t say that.” Chen Ge gave Dr. Lai a sideways glance, “That said, you have such a decent job, and your income isn’t too low compared to ordinary people, so why do you have to live here?”

　　”Got used to living here.” Dr. Ri returned indifferently.

　　”Used to the filth here, or used to the chaotic management here?”

　　”Used to the air here, I feel so comfortable living here that I’m too lazy to move to another place.” Dr. Lai closed the freezer, “Let’s go, go to the next room and take a look.”

　　He carried the black bag with his back to Chen Ge and deliberately walked past Chen Ge.

　　Chen Ge was carrying the backpack, his eyes weren’t on Dr. Li at all, but instead he cocked his head to survey the somewhat nervous Qu Win.

　　”What are you looking at?”

　　”Nothing.” Qu Win covered his stomach with one hand and followed Dr. Li and Big Head out of the room.

　　Xiao Sun was also about to walk out, but was tugged by Chen Ge’s arm, “I want to ask you a question.”

　　”You say.” Xiao Sun hadn’t yet analyzed who the murderer was and was frowning tightly in thought.

　　”Did you hear something when the electrician was killed?”

　　”Didn’t hear too much, it’s just that I felt as if the electrician knew Auntie Ting and Dr. Lai, they didn’t seem like ordinary neighbors.” Xiao Sun could see some details, he was just thinking too narrowly.

　　”They had a close relationship, yet Auntie Ting and Dr. Lai insisted on killing the electrician, why do you think that is?”

　　”Murder to kill?”

　　”That’s right, the electrician is a pervert who abuses the weak, Aunt Ding is a human trafficker with psychological problems, and the most terrifying thing is Dr. Lai, everything is being planned by him.” Chen Ge suddenly said such a paragraph, which was very informative.

　　”When did you know this? Why did you only say it now? What do you want?” Following the real murderer to track down the murderer and running through the whole building, Xiao Sun felt horrible just thinking about it, he didn’t dare to trust anyone now.

　　”Everyone has their own secrets, and you are no exception, except that some people’s secrets don’t go out of their way to hurt others, while some people’s secrets are based on hurting others.” Chen Ge gently patted Xiao Sun’s shoulder, “Human nature is the most complicated in the world, it’s a unique branding as an individual, I won’t force you to make any choices, but I hope you can think about it before you decide what to do.”

　　Xiao Sun’s appearance in the world behind Xiang Nuan’s door indicated that he himself might have some problems, except that he had not been assimilated into such an environment, and the darkness around him had not caused him to sink, and his strange disappearance outside the door was most likely due to this reason.

　　Chen Ge felt that Xiao Sun was something that could be fought for, and he had been observing him along the way.

　　It was difficult to gain Chen Ge’s trust in the world behind the door because Chen Ge was not the type of person who could easily trust others in the first place, but there was also an advantage in him, and that was that once he truly believed in someone, he would seldom waver.

　　”Whatever happens next, the first thing you need to do is protect yourself and stop talking nonsense.”

　　Before, Xiao Sun was just a stranger to Chen Ge, whether the other party was dead or alive Chen Ge didn’t really care too much, and at most, he would help if he could.

　　Now Chen Ge wanted Xiao Sun to be his companion, so naturally he wouldn’t let Xiao Sun’s “nonsense” lead to trouble anymore.

　　After listening to Chen Ge’s words, Xiao Sun was puzzled and subconsciously nodded his head.

　　Big Head’s screams came from the hallway, Chen Ge walked out of 1006 and saw Big Head sitting in the hallway, his hand covering his stomach, blood seeping out from the bandage.

　　Big Head’s injuries had become so severe that Dr. Li had offered to let him go back to recuperate in the middle of the day, but Big Head was dead set against it, he seemed to know what might happen next and wanted to stay and help Dr. Li.

　　Soon several other doors on the tenth floor were opened, and from room 1006 to 1002 they found nothing useful until room 1001, the one in the deepest part of the corridor on the top floor of the building.

　　Before the iron door was fully opened, Chen Ge and the others heard a sound coming from the room, like a child crying.

　　”There’s someone in the room?”

　　Chen Ge hadn’t cared about the child’s crying, but he gradually felt that something was wrong after he realized that Dr. Li’s expression was also very surprised.

　　The real culprit who killed the landlord, Dr. Li, didn’t even know why there were cries in the room, which meant that there must have been some kind of change in the room.

　　Thoroughly pulling open the security door, several people saw the scene inside the room, and their expressions all changed.

　　The floor and wallpaper of room 1001 were painted with open eyes, and in the living room there was no coffee table, sofa, or other furniture, just a dozen or so large and small square box televisions stacked up.

　　Those televisions fell together in layers, and the screen of the center-most television was open, and the picture playing on it was of a child sitting in the middle of a dozen televisions, his face pale, his pupils trembling, and watching the surrounding televisions in a very uneasy manner.

　　”Xiang Nuan!”

　　Seeing the boy on the TV screen, Wen Qing did not have control and directly shouted out.

　　Her own child, who had once had such an encounter, Wen Qing stood in the doorway of the living room, her eyes instantly reddened and her shoulders trembled.

　　She didn’t dare to look at the TV, but her eyes couldn’t help glancing there, the child on the screen was alone and struggling, the expression on his face was sometimes normal, sometimes hideous and scary, just like a monster.

　　The key was taken away by the murderer, but Dr. Li’s expression was also very surprised, he obviously did not know who turned the TV on, this does not mean that he was cleared of suspicion, but it shows that the person who turned the TV on probably did not need the landlord’s key to be able to enter this room.

　　Chen Ge’s figure of Xiang Nuan instantly surfaced in his mind, “The person who pushed the door is Xiang Nuan, this is his world behind the door, he wants to guide us to see the truth?”

　　Several people stood in place, they were considering whether to enter the house or not when Xiang Nuan in the TV screen suddenly raised his head, he looked across the TV screen to the crowd standing behind the door.

　　”Go ……”

　　A very light, very light voice came out from the television, followed by all the screens of all the televisions being turned on, and a picture was played out.

　　A middle-aged man in 302 compared to the corpse of a model, twisting the joints of a mannequin.

　　A man in his fifties in room 205 slammed the effigy of Granny Li in front of her, threw the tributes on the table all over her, and choked her.

　　The man in 701 smoothed his fingerprints with a cigarette and stood with a knife next to a mirror on which a wanted notice with his own picture was taped.

　　The young woman in 702 sits in front of her computer, covered in blood, with the body of a middle-aged male lying behind her, and appears to be searching online for ways to dispose of large garbage quickly and efficiently.

　　In room 505 a man with light makeup is dressed in his wife’s clothes, holding a picture of her, looking at her frozen wife in the mirror and striking the same pose as her.

　　In the kitchen of room 602, a man washes his hands over and over again, using all kinds of tools, rubbing the skin on his hands and not stopping, the more blood he washes, the more he washes, and how he can’t wash it clean anymore.

　　In room 301, Wu You had his eyes and ears covered by an adult who couldn’t see his face, and his parents, who had collapsed in a pool of blood, were being dragged out of the living room by other building residents.

　　……

　　A chilling video played on the screen, Xiang Nuan was surrounded in the center, his expression growing more and more hideous as his hands flailed, grabbing whatever was on the ground and shoving it into his mouth.

　　After he finished eating, all the images on all the screens began to flash, and as he fell heavily to the ground, all the images on the screens disappeared.

　　The room went quiet, and the only sound left in everyone’s ears was Wen Qing’s cries filled with self-recrimination.

　　The images in the video were very real, and because they were real they were even more frightening.

　　”Is this the final truth inside the building?” Xiao Sun had the feeling that he was about to be driven mad.

　　”You’re wrong, this is only part of the truth.” Chen Ge looked at Dr. Li: “Why aren’t there any videos of you, Big Head, Auntie Ding, and the electrician in those videos that were just played?”

　　”Is it strange? Doesn’t that just show that we are ordinary, normal people?” Big Head interjected.

　　”Stop fooling yourselves, you know very well what the electrician has done, you killed him to save yourselves.” Chen Ge pulled open the backpack zipper, “The murderers who killed the landlord are the four of you.”

　　The atmosphere in room 1001 was heavy, after a long time, Dr. Lai’s cold face revealed a frightening smile, “You’re right, the landlord saw our secret, he was killed by the four of us in a joint effort, and those teeth and the commitment letter are all our stuff. You’re very smart, but you understand too late, there won’t be anyone in this building to help you now.”

　　Seeing the terrifying smile on Dr. Lai’s face, Chen Ge also smiled, his smile gave people a very warm feeling, but in this situation, his smile looked even weirder: “How do you know that I only figured it out now?”

　　Hearing Chen Ge’s words, Big Head and Dr. Lai both laughed as they both waved towards Qu Win, and the three of them surrounded Chen Ge from three directions.

　　”Actually, we lied to you from the beginning, I’m not a pediatrician at all, and Big Head isn’t my patient.” Dr. Lai lifted his sleeve, revealing the scars and pinholes on his arm}, “Both of us are patients, and very serious ones who can’t control themselves.”

　　They fumbled in the black opaque bag that contained not only the tools used to open the lock, but also two sharp knives.

　　”I tried to remove this from the bag countless times when I was upstairs, and finally resisted.” Dr. Li held the knives, he didn’t even treat Chen Ge as a human being, that gaze was more like sizing up a lamb to be slaughtered: “I’ve always felt that the building was very noisy, now that it’s finally cleared up, I can rightfully become the new landlord.”

　　”You’re thinking quite beautifully.” Chen Ge put his hand into his backpack, “In fact, I also lied to you guys, I’m not a psychiatrist at all, those patients I’ve treated, they call me Dr. Cranium Shatterer.”

　　Five fingers gripped the handle of the hammer that resembled a living person’s spine, Chen Ge had already sprinted forward when he finished the last word, swinging the Cranium Shattering Hammer and hitting Qu Win heavily.

　　Spitting out a large mouthful of blood, Qu Win collapsed to the ground, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.

　　He didn’t say a word, and his chest deflated before his mind even turned around.

　　”Why is it me ……”

　　With his body incapacitated, Qu Win looked like he was going to die.

　　”Now it’s just the two of you left.” Chen Ge stood in the doorway, the barbs on the skull crushing hammer rubbing against the wall skin, making a }human sound.
