"After the boy woke up, the door disappeared. He couldn't see me, but he seemed to know there was someone else in the room. He whispered, 'Dad.' " Meng Nan sat beside Chen Ge on the curb. The two stared at each other. "He seemed to want to say something else, but that's all he could say."
"Can you describe the door that appeared next to the boy's bed in more detail? What's the difference between that door and the door that you pushed open yourself?"
"It's very surreal, like it will disappear at any moment. The blood vessels on the door are very faint, and they're all gathered at one spot like they're pieced together." This was the first time that Meng Nan had seen a door like that. "It's hard to explain. I suggest you go and take a look yourself."
"Their residential area has a password lock, and there are cameras everywhere. If I go there with my backpack, I'll definitely be discovered. If I act rashly, I'll only alert the enemy."
After Chen Ge's observation, he realized that the residential area was well protected. He would not be able to sneak into the boy's house without being noticed.
"Change of plan." Chen Ge looked at his phone. When he left the Third Sick Hall, it was 12: 50 pm, and now it was 1: 30 am.
"Should I force my way in?"
"There's no need. We'll come back tomorrow when Jiang Ming goes to work." Chen Ge stood up and went to a nearby stall to order some food. "Do you want some?"
"It's fine. Call me when you come back tomorrow. I'm quite interested in that boy as well."
Meng Nan returned to the comic. After Chen Ge had his fill, he called a cab to get to Jiang Yuan Apartments.
Actually, Chen Ge's original plan was to go to Coffin Village, but now that he was in the mountains, it would be morning before he found Coffin Village.
"I'll go there in the future if I have the chance. I should have the right to know more now."
At 2 am, Chen Ge arrived at Jiang Yuan Apartments. He carried the heavy backpack and entered the stairwell.
Returning to the same place, with the same people, but the feeling was completely different.
Chen Ge had not forgotten everything that had happened during the Nightmare Mission. This time, he purposely went to those dark and scary corners.
However, probably because the Red Specter inside the building had warned him beforehand, nothing came out to scare Chen Ge.
"I remember someone tried to drag me into a room on this floor." Chen Ge took out the hammer from his backpack and politely knocked on the door at 2: 30 am.
He waited outside for a long time, but no one came to open the door. Just as he was about to give the lock a try, a child's laughter came from the stairwell.
"The people who lived here moved out the night you came." A boy about seven or eight years old was squatting on the railing of the stairs. His blood-red clothes were soaked, and blood kept dripping down. His eyes were swollen and white.
If anyone saw a child squatting in their own corridor at night, they would probably be scared silly.
"I'm a water ghost. I was killed in the water, and I wandered for a long time before I found this door. It's a kind of luck to be able to become a Red Specter." The boy jumped down from the railing. He had long hair, and his white eyes stared right at Chen Ge. "Our promise that day was that you would bring the real door pusher here at 2 am three days later. It's not even the third day yet, so why are you here so early?"
"I already have a clue about the real door pusher!" Chen Ge put down the hammer and picked up his backpack. "I didn't push open the door here; it was the shadow. At the time, I told him all the negative things, and he couldn't take it anymore. That's why he pushed the door open, but since he was just a shadow, the door wasn't fully pushed open."
Chen Ge was lying with a straight face. He did not know the truth; he just wanted to push the blame to the shadow.
"You said your shadow pushed open the door?" The Red Specter took one step forward, and the next moment, he appeared before Chen Ge. His face stuck close to Chen Ge. "The door can only be pushed open at the most desperate moment! Are you trying to lie to me? "
"It's true. The shadow has separated from the ghost fetus, and he wants to be reborn as a human!" Chen Ge told him everything he knew about the ghost fetus. Initially, the Red Specter did not believe him, but the more he listened, the more he felt like Chen Ge was not lying.
In the end, when he heard the names of Jia Ming and Bei Ye, his expression changed, and that was noticed by Chen Ge as well.
"Do you know Jia Ming and Bei Ye?" According to the information released by the police, Jia Ming and Bei Ye had indeed appeared at Jiang Yuan Apartments. Chen Ge believed that as the owner of this building, it was normal for the Red Specter to have heard of these people's names.
"I don't know them, but …" The Red Specter pointed at the door next to Chen Ge. "They used to stay in that room. On the night you arrived, it was Jia Ming who wanted to drag you into the room to kill you."
"It was him? That's impossible! That night, I could clearly feel that the person who grabbed me was cold. He did not feel like a living person. "
"There is an extremely evil spirit inside Jia Ming. It was it that personally made the move that day. I have no idea why it would place so much importance on you."
The Red Specter had no reason to lie; everything he said should be the truth.
Chen Ge did not expect such a coincidence to happen! Now he regretted not opening his eyes, but the person who regretted the most should be Jia Ming. The man did not know that Chen Ge did not have any employees with him, and Zhang Ya was in hibernation. He had missed his only chance to kill Chen Ge!
Thinking back to it, Chen Ge would still break out in cold sweat.
"I knew there was a grudge between the two of you. They failed to kill you, and they seemed to be afraid of your revenge, so they escaped that night."
"You should have stopped them. The ghost fetus might be inside the child next to Jia Ming. If you had killed the ghost fetus, you would have been the real door pusher." Chen Ge sighed with regret.
"How do I know you're not lying to me?" The Red Specter had a feeling that Chen Ge had become more confident this time. Even his tone sounded more forceful.
"The door here is useless to me. I just want to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person." Chen Ge calculated the time and felt like there was still a chance to salvage the situation. "You are the owner of this place. You even know their names and the evil spirit inside their bodies. Then, you should have eavesdropped on other messages, right? Why would they come here? "
"They are here to look for the altar, and there is indeed an altar here." The Red Specter's white eyes moved twice. He seemed to be reminded of something and prepared to leave in a hurry.
"Where is the altar?" Chen Ge reached into his backpack.
"That is not a question you should be asking. Go back. I have already told you many things." The Red Specter was about to leave when the sound of static came from the corridor, and there was a pungent smell of Foul Odor.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I think you can tell me more."
Chen Ge flipped through the comic, and the blood red shadows appeared one after another. "Now do you know why Jia Ming escaped the moment he saw me? But don't worry, most of the time, I am a reasonable person. "
