Losing the restraint, the white shadow retreated. It was very fast.
"Don't run!"
This was a rare opportunity, so Chen Ge naturally would not let it escape. He raised the knife and charged at the white shadow.
Without the woman's control, the white shadow's presence weakened. Its face blurred, and its body became transparent.
The monster felt threatened. It crawled to the black suitcase, grabbed something from inside, and ran out the door.
Chen Ge did not see what the white shadow was holding, but he believed that since they were enemies, he had to keep the thing that the white shadow wanted to take away.
The cleaver dealt limited damage to the white shadow, so Chen Ge decided to target the thing that the white shadow had taken away.
He took the opportunity to slash at Bai Ying. When Bai Ying dodged, he grabbed the thing in Bai Ying's hand.
In the struggle, the thing was torn apart, and half a page fell to the ground. The white shadow did not bother to pick it up and ran out of the living room.
Chen Ge chased it to the front door. There was nothing in the dark corridor. He thought about it rationally. Without the Tape Ghost, he might not be able to defeat the white shadow.
Instead of giving chase, Chen Ge closed the front door and switched on the lights. The scene in the room caused his eyes to twitch.
On the cold floor, the woman's limbs were twisted into strange shapes. Her eyes bulged out, and she screamed. Her bald face showed an expression that Chen Ge could not understand.
It looked like pain and relief, but there was also a trace of joy.
"Does it hurt?"
How to deal with the woman was the Tape Ghost's problem. Chen Ge's mission was to find this woman and help the Tape Ghost fulfill his wish.
He turned around and picked up the page that had fallen to the ground.
It looked like an advertisement. The part that described the content had been taken away by the white shadow, and the page that Chen Ge had obtained only had four red words and a short introduction.
"The Society of Strange Tales? Narrating a real ghost story every week? "
This half-page flyer attracted Chen Ge's attention. It was not only because Bai Yin wanted to take it away, but the main reason was because the background of the flyer was a blood red door that was half open!
"About the world behind the door?"
The flyer belonged to the mad woman from Room 2. She had entered the Third Sick Hall before.
"Could it have been created by those escaped psychopaths? What does it mean to tell a ghost story every week? " Looking at the crude advertising flyer and the inexplicable introduction, Chen Ge felt that even the scammers on the telephone poles were more meticulous than this.
"If we have to tell a real ghost story, what if we make up some fake stories? How are they going to tell if it's real or fake? " Chen Ge put away the half-page of advertising paper and thought that if he told everyone about his experiences during this period of time, many people would probably be so shocked that they would be unable to close their mouths. Of course, this was only limited to people. Chen Ge was very self-aware. He knew in his heart that if the audience were all ghosts, it would be hard to say who would be scaring who.
The screams in the room slowly stopped and were replaced by the robotic voice of a woman.
"Ouch …"
"The woman was put into the tape?" Chen Ge walked to the woman's side. Her eyes were dull and lifeless like her soul had been sucked out.
He had no idea what the Tape Ghost had done to the woman, but that was the Tape Ghost's problem.
After placing the woman on the sofa, Chen Ge switched off the recorder. When he pressed the switch, the black phone vibrated.
He swiped the screen, and a new message appeared.
"You've successfully fulfilled Xu Yin's wish. His impression of you has changed. Would you like to hire Xu Yin as a member of the Haunted House?"
"The Bloody Heart Mission is completed just like that?" The Tape Ghost was much more powerful than the Pen Spirit, but thinking back to the mission to hire the Pen Spirit, this mission had been very dangerous.
"Would you like to hire Xu Yin? If you fail to make a decision within twenty-four hours, it will be considered as giving up. "
"Yes!" Chen Ge tapped on the screen. The excitement in his heart was something that a normal person would not be able to understand.
"Specter's Favored, congratulations for successfully hiring a special kind of baleful Specter — Xu Yin.
"Xu Yin (Baleful Specter): He has a very unique voice (Can temporarily control lingering spirits to disturb other Specters. Ineffective on Red Specters, can only be used once a week).
"Warning: The screams of the visitors will excite Xu Yin. Feeding on the visitors' fear will strengthen Xu Yin's power. If Xu Yin is depressed for too long, he might leave you. "
After reading the message, Chen Ge was very satisfied with Xu Yin. Like the Pen Spirit, the man was a special kind of baleful Specter, and he had his own special power.
"Not bad. When I do Trial Missions in the future, I'll have another trump card." Removing the tape from the recorder, Chen Ge placed it next to the ballpoint pen. "The only drawback is that the Tape Ghost appears to only appear when I play it. Looks like I'll need to go to the flea market to buy a Walkman."
After doing that, Chen Ge remembered that there was a 'victim' lying in the bathroom.
He ran into the bathroom and realized that Gu Feiyu had fainted inside the bathtub.
"This kid is probably scared out of his wits." Chen Ge dragged Gu Feiyu out of the bathtub and covered him in the security uniform. He wrapped the cleaver and hid it in the bottom of his backpack. Then, he sat down to wait for Inspector Lee.
Twenty minutes later, Inspector Lee and the property manager arrived.
To prevent the situation from escalating, they did not cause too much of a commotion.
"Chen Ge!" Once he entered, Inspector Lee saw Chen Ge sitting in the middle of the room. "Are you hurt? Where's the suspect? "
"Already tied up. The victim is the security guard, and he's currently unconscious."
Inspector Lee entered the room, and after inspecting the scene, he frowned. He glanced at Chen Ge. "The woman is the culprit? The man is the victim? "
"Yes."
"Then why were you here? What role did you play? "
"I …" Chen Ge came up with an idea. "It's quite a coincidence. There was a girl on the 14th floor who suffered from depression, and I was the one who cured her. Tonight, I'm here to check on her recovery. If you don't believe me, you can go upstairs and ask her. "
"So, you stumbled upon this murder case by accident?"
"You can put it that way." After Chen Ge said that, he realized that the way the officers looked at him had changed. "It's true. It was just an accident."
"You don't need to say anything. I believe you." Inspector Lee waved at the people behind him. "Ah Yong, go call the ambulance. We'll send the victim to the hospital for treatment and examination. The rest of you, come over to collect fingerprints. Don't touch the drinks on the table. Women don't have an advantage in terms of physical strength, and murder usually involves poisoning. Protect the scene. "
Inspector Lee was experienced, and with just a glance, he managed to speculate part of the case.
