Chapter 1144 – From Today Onwards We Are Friends
A heavy smell of blood wafted in the air, and the room that was originally quite spacious somehow became crowded.
The cold light from the computer screen reflected all around, and Lan Xiao Chen stood in front of the computer desk, envelope in hand, and slowly turned around.
”Who’s there! Come out!”
He, who had always prided himself on his boldness, shouted at the living room, but unfortunately the only thing that responded to him was the sound of rustling electricity.
In the empty living room, the television was suddenly turned on and black and white snowflakes appeared on the screen.
Lan Xiao Chen picked up the badminton racket next to the desk and moved his feet a little bit towards the living room.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or what, he suddenly felt that this scene was déjà vu.
The sound of crying came from a corner of the room, and the computer suddenly started playing the horror movie he had just seen.
What Lan Xiao Chen considered to be a vulgar sequence was played over and over again, as the protagonist was using the computer to watch a ghost movie, the scene in the ghost movie was happening in his own home.
The familiar dialog came out from the computer speakers, the rapid breathing and nervous tone constantly stimulating Lan Xiao Chen’s brain.
The needle was stuck in his own body, and only then did he realize the pain.
As much as he hated to admit it, he did feel fear.
”Come out!”
A feeling of powerlessness flooded his brain as Lan Xiao Chen yelled at the living room, as if the higher voice could bolster his courage.
With the cold light of the computer screen at his back, he moved to the living room and bedroom door, and found a bloody handprint remaining on the doorknob of his room door, as if someone had opened the door from inside his house.
At this time the ghost movie plot in the computer has reached the most tense moment, the hero found that the ghost in the ghost movie ran into his home, he wanted to escape from the home when he suddenly found that the door of the room was locked by someone.
After seeing the bloody handprints left on the doorknob, Lan Xiao Chen immediately realized that someone had run into his house and it was no longer safe.
He moved slowly, and when he was about to approach the door of the room, he suddenly accelerated.
But when he grabbed the door handle with both hands he realized that no matter how hard he tried he just couldn’t open the door.
Fear drowned out reason, and he, who thought he was bold and often despised fans of thriller movies online, felt terror for the first time.
”How can it not open?”
He desperately shook the door of the room, the door panel did not move, but blood began to ooze out from the cracks!
The protagonist on the computer screen was desperate and took out the phone to ask the heroine for help.
In reality, Lan Xiao Chen also panicked and took out his cell phone, he had no friends and could only turn to the police at this point.
The images on the screen and what happened in reality were almost synchronized, and the results were strikingly similar.
The call was quickly connected, and an unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the phone.
”You can’t get away.”
Blood and ghastly white faces began to surface in the room, and a figure dressed in red surrounded Lan Xiao Chen, who was already paralyzed with fear.
Blue Xiao Chen, who had been crisscrossing and pointing at the internet, was now shivering, foaming at the corners of his mouth and unconsciously calling out for his mother.
A boy in red dragged Blue Xiao Chen to the side as he opened the door to the room, and outside the door stood a young man carrying a backpack.
”He’s the source of the curse? Not even the red coat?” The young man entered the house and casually closed the security door, “Made me happy for nothing.”
Sitting on the couch, the young man pulled a comic book out of his backpack and casually flipped through it.
”Wake him up, I have something to ask him.”
A pot of bloody water was poured over Lan Xiao Chen’s head, as if he was thrown into an ice cave, he instantly waved his hands and shouted for help.
”Chen Ge, wouldn’t you just ask Zhang Yi to go through his memories directly? Why bother?” Men Nan covered Lan Xiao Chen’s mouth as he looked at the white foam sticking to his hands and felt a little nauseous.
”Zhang Yi’s ability is to hide and erase part of his memories, if this guy’s memories have been tampered with, Zhang Yi wouldn’t be able to tell. In order not to be misled, it’s better for us to be cautious.” Chen Ge was more cautious, he wanted to help that young man to have a good recollection first: “Hey, I will ask you a few questions next, I hope you answer honestly, if I find out that you are lying, I will let you know what a painful thing it is to live.”
With his brain slightly clearer, Lan Xiao Chen was half lying on the ground as he nodded with all the strength he had left in his body.
The young man in front of him knew from his tone of voice alone that he was a ruthless man, don’t look at Lan Xiao Chen who was not afraid of anyone on the internet, in reality he was a wimp with 100% purity.
”Who gave you that blank curse letter you took out of the drawer?”
”I stole it, from the ward of an abandoned hospital.” Lan Xiao Chen laid the letter on the ground with trembling hands, “This is your stuff, right? I’ll never dare again, spare me.”
”With your guts, you dared to enter an abandoned hospital to steal something?” Chen Ge was skeptical.
”I made a bet with someone online to go to that hospital together for the night, I was just getting high on my mouth, who knew that they really ran to Xinhai, I couldn’t hide so I went to that hospital with them.”
”Where is the hospital?”
”The hospital is on the outskirts of Xinhai, that side basically hasn’t been developed much, it’s very desolate.” Blue Xiao Chen voice with a sobbing tone: “They are a total of three people, all tourists from Hanjiang, that place folk tough, do not know how they exercise, one more than a bold.”
”You guys went in?” Chen Ge didn’t expect tourists from Hanjiang to appear in Xinhai’s strange stories.
”I was the first one to run in, but I immediately hid when I was out of their line of sight, and when they all entered, I ran out again.” Blue Xiao Chen was a person with little bottom line, to put it in more blunt terms, he was a scumbag.
”Did those tourists come out in the end?” Chen Ge was more concerned about the safety of the tourists.
”I don’t know, I stood guard outside for half an hour, there was no movement at all in the hospital, the three of them were just like they were eaten by something.” Lan Xiao Chen’s voice stuttered, he was still scared of Chen Ge: “That place was very scary at night, I didn’t dare to stay longer and escaped back myself, but I went over to look again at noon the next day, and ended up finding one of the tourists’ wallet around the corner of the hospital’s lobby, all the documents inside were gone, there were only three blank case slips and a slip of paper. ”
”Did you call the police afterward?”
”No, I thought they must have left on their own, it’s not like it’s a disappearance, and no body was found, so I had no reason to call the police ah.” Lan Xiao Chen was trying to convince himself.
”Where are those three blank case sheets and notes now?” Chen Ge’s face was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
”I used two of the case slips, and the last one is in the envelope.” Lan Xiao Chen shrank his neck, “I didn’t know at first that this case sheet could really curse people, the neighbor’s dog kept barking that day, so I just casually tried it, but I didn’t expect that all of his family members fell sick and that dog died.”
”You just said that besides the three case sheets, there was also a note? Take that note out and let me take a look.”
Lan Xiao Chen had wanted to use that note to make a deal, but he realized he didn’t have the courage to open his mouth at all: “The note is in that locked drawer in the bedroom, and the key is in my pocket.”
Men Nan took out the key and entered the bedroom, a few moments later he handed the note to Chen Ge.
Saying it was a note, it was actually a page torn from a certain book, with dark blood stains remaining on it, and if you looked closely, you would realize that the blood stains were actually a sentence – This is a sick world, why haven’t you realized it yet? I must cure you!
These few simple words seemed to contain a special power that would give the reader a marvelous feeling, as if these words were written to him or her.
”A sick world? I think you’d better heal yourself first.” Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to stare at the words on the paper, the more he looked at it, the more bizarre he felt, those black blood stains were clearly layered, as if someone was constantly writing the same words in blood in the same location, “Like an informative letter, or some kind of hint, could it be left by the doctor of the cursed hospital? But why would this note be placed together with three blank case sheets?”
Chen Ge and the Cursed Hospital had fought explicitly and implicitly several times, and it was the first time he had seen a blank case sheet, this was not something that could be picked up casually.
”I’ve told you everything I know.” Blue Xiao Chen lowered his voice: “Can you ……”
”Can give you a hard time.” Chen Ge waved his hand, and Zhang Yi directly drilled into Lan Xiao Chen’s head.
A big living person crawled into the body along the head, this frightening scene was already used to Chen Ge, as for whether Lan Xiao Chen felt scary or not that didn’t matter, anyway, Zhang Yi would erase some of the memories up when he left.
More than ten seconds later, Zhang Yi drilled out of Lan Xiao Chen’s body, and all the red shadows in the room slowly disappeared.
The TV screen turned off, and everything returned to its original state, only that the world had one less keyboard warrior from then on, and one more young man who loved life.
”Lan Xiao Chen didn’t lie, but there’s a part of his memory that’s so blurry that I can’t see it clearly.” Zhang Yi followed Chen Ge as the group walked in the shadows of the city.
”Which part?”
”Whether it’s the first time he entered the hospital or the second time he entered the hospital, all the scenes are very blurry, and it’s even possible that it’s just him feeling like he entered the hospital, and he didn’t actually go in.” Zhang Yi reached out and gestured, “I feel that the other party also has an existence that can manipulate memories, and it’s much more powerful than me.”
”There are people in the cursed hospital who can manipulate memories as well? It seems like I have to find a way to make you red first, half red you are no longer enough to deal with the current situation.”
The more specialized a ghost’s abilities were, the more difficult it would be to break through, this was something Chen Ge knew very well, he also wanted to cultivate Zhang Yi, but unfortunately there hadn’t been enough “food”.
The severe ghosts in Hanjiang were very sensible, so he was already too embarrassed to do it, but it would be completely different when it came to Xinhai.
”Do you think Lan Xiao Chen could be a pawn deliberately arranged by the cursed hospital? Whether it’s Xiao Die’s younger brother receiving the cursed letter or the suspected disappearance of tourists in Hanjiang, both of these are very deliberate, as if they are trying to convince me to hurry over and investigate.” Chen Ge’s brain spun rapidly, thinking about the possibilities.
”I don’t know.”
”Why don’t you go back into the comic book and get some rest.”
Chen Ge took the several employees back into the comic book as he walked alone on the street.
”We can’t rush, whether it’s Zhang Yi, or Yan Dainian, they themselves belong to the extremely rare and special Lich ghosts, the most important thing I need to do now is to make them red.” Chen Ge’s thoughts were very clear: “Once those special stern ghosts around me become red-clothed, then they will become a battle force that cannot be ignored!”
Yan Dainian, who was only a stern ghost, had already been rated as the strongest under the red clothes by the black cell phone, so if he became a red clothes, wouldn’t he be walking horizontally under the Fierce God?
”I’ll find a chance to send Little Sun there first, then take our time and see who gets exhausted first.”
At around five in the morning, Chen Ge returned to Century Avenue, he was about to go to Nightmare Academy when he suddenly saw someone walking out of the back door of Ten Mile Delicatessen, and the back of that person looked a lot like Eat Ren.
Carrying a backpack, Chen Ge quietly touched over.
The sky just dawned, now is the Century Avenue shopping district the least people, that from the back door of the Ten Mile Delicatessen slipped out of the guy dragging a trolley case, he was careful to look towards both sides of the road, seems to be hiding from someone.
Slowly approaching, Chen Ge walked without making any noise, he stared at the man for a long time, and finally determined that this guy was the Eaten In from the Treasury Management Office photo.
”Were you kicked out by someone?” Chen Ge’s voice suddenly rang in the man’s ears, startling him so much that his face went white.
”Who are you!”
”I’m the new owner of the haunted house next door, if you have nowhere else to go, I can take you in.” Before Chen Ge could say anything, the man made a very strange gesture as he covered his mouth with both hands.
”What’s wrong? Not feeling well?” Chen Ge blocked the road with his bag, the man desperately shook his head, and finally he took out his own cell phone and typed a few words on the screen – I don’t want to harm you! Get out of the way!
”Harm me?” Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to stare at the man for half a day, and after he was sure that the person in front of him was Eating Ren, he looked around again.
The location where the two were was the back door of Ten Mile Xiang, there was no surveillance here.
”You can’t protect yourself, but you still care about the deaths of innocent passersby, so it seems like you’re a person who can be trusted.” Chen Ge took out his comic book, and blood filaments surged behind him as the light of dawn was swallowed.
”Red!” The man’s face was bruised, he realized the danger, he directly abandoned the trolley case and twisted his head to run.
”Don’t be afraid, I just want to help you.”
”I don’t need you to help me!!!”
”I help people, I never ask if they need it.”
Chen Ge grabbed the man’s arm and forcefully hooked his shoulder, “Be honest, there are at least five Redcoats around you, do you think you can run away?”
”Five, five, five?!”
”Don’t be nervous, keep breathing normally.” Chen Ge helped the man put on his hat so that the brim just blocked most of the man’s face.
Crossing the street, Chen Ge brought the man back to the Nightmare Academy, and after he locked the door, he grabbed the man and went straight into the principal’s office in the haunted house scene.
”Alright, you’re safe now.” Chen Ge and the man stood in the middle of the principal’s office, with Men Nan and Water Ghost Redcoat standing around them.
The man didn’t dare to say a word, he felt like he had failed in his escape.
”You’re Eat Ren?”
”How did you know?” The man nodded cautiously.
”You’re the one guarding the old storehouse in the second courtyard?”
”En.”
”Did you write the note to Dr. Fang?”
”Yes.”
Chen Ge took out a piece of paper, “Write that sentence from the note again on this paper.”
Ten minutes later, Chen Ge was finally sure that the person in front of him was Eat Ren, he was the one who tried to save Dr. Fang a few days ago, but unfortunately it didn’t work out.
”Why did you risk offending the Cursed Hospital to save Dr. Fang?” Chen Ge wanted to figure this out.
”Dr. Fang is very nice, he doesn’t have any attitude at all, and he often helps his patients with all kinds of problems, healer’s benevolence is what I feel is used to describe him.” Eat Ren sighed, “Such a good person, how can I watch him die?”
”Then do you still want to save Dr. Fang?” Chen Ge was guiding the other party a little.
”Of course.” Eat Ren’s eyes lit up, but soon his eyes became dark again, “But I can’t protect myself right now, how can I still save others?”
”It’s fine, I’ll help you.” Chen Ge smiled and patted Eat Ren’s shoulder, “An enemy’s enemy is a friend, from today onwards we are friends.”
