The blood red number on the monitor was glaring. When the number twenty-four lit up, the elevator doors opened to both sides.
Wet blood dripped down the corridor, and there were new scratch marks on the walls.
A faded scent of blood lingered in the air like something scary had just happened here.
Chen Ge removed the cleaver that was tied to his calf, gripped it with a backhand grip, and hid it in his sleeve.
Let's go in and take a look.
A chill ran down his spine. Chen Ge did not turn around because he knew that Zhang Ya was behind him.
The corridor was very quiet, and any sound could be heard clearly.
When he was about a third of the way down, the sound of something being cut entered Chen Ge's ears.
After taking a few more steps, Chen Ge confirmed that the sound came from the room where he had first met the birdman.
There are ten seats beside the dining table, so they probably represent the first ten patients. The birdman is responsible for the miscellaneous items. What is his identity in the Society of Strange Tales?
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge shook his head. There was no need to think about that. He was not there to investigate anything but to destroy this society made up of madmen.
They are both three-star scenarios, so Zhang Ya shouldn't be that much weaker than them.
Stopping outside the room, Chen Ge looked at the scene behind the door, and his brows furrowed.
A man who appeared to be wearing a birdman's mask was squatting in the corner with tools in his hands. Before him was an old man, and next to him was a mask.
Chen Ge had seen the mask before when he was at the gathering. New No. 1 had worn it before.
"What are you doing?" Chen Ge blocked the door, and his sudden question scared the man. He could see the birdman's shoulders tremble.
The man did not turn around and kept his back to Chen Ge. "Everyone has left, so why are you still here?"
"Aren't you going to serve dinner? I've only been gone for a while, and you've already finished? " Chen Ge sighed with regret. Regardless of the reason, his plan might have to change.
"There was a small problem. One of them received a message from the president and left at the last minute." The birdman still did not turn around. His upper body seemed to be frozen. His back was facing Chen Ge, and his face was facing the old man on the ground.
"A message from the Guild Leader?" Chen Ge noticed that there was something strange about the man. He walked into the house and asked, "Can you tell me where they went?"
"I don't know." The man paused and added, "I advise you not to come over."
There's only one elevator at the end of the corridor, and I've never left the elevator. Is there another exit here? Chen Ge got a lot of clues from the man's words. Now that the others had left, he could only get information from the birdbeak man.
"Someone will tell you this in the future. You can leave now." The birdman's movements were stiff, as if he was purposely not turning his face around.
Chen Ge wasn't there to discuss things with him. After the birdbeak man finished speaking, he didn't leave. Instead, he walked a few steps further in.
"They've all left. Why are you still here? Have you been staying here all this time? "Chen Ge's questions came one after another.
"I'm only responsible for cleaning and cooking."
"Interesting." Chen Ge had his suspicions about the birdbeak man. He was free to stay on the 24th floor and was responsible for everything here.
Could this man be the Guild Leader?
Perhaps the other members had lied and the Guild Leader was not among them.
Chen Ge wanted to prove this. If he asked the birdbeak man, the man would definitely not tell him the truth, so he decided to use the most direct method.
Regardless of whether he was the Guild Leader or not, if he disappeared forever, he would no longer be the Guild Leader.
The birdbeak man noticed that Chen Ge was still approaching, so he suddenly raised his voice. "Newbie, no matter what you've done outside, now that you're here, you'd better follow the rules of the Society of Strange Tales."
"The rules of the Society of Strange Tales? I only need to tell stories, what else is there to do? "Chen Ge had already noticed that there was something wrong with the man, so he did not want to let him leave.
"You have to pay the price for seeing things that you shouldn't have. Now that the other members have left, there's only you and me on this floor." The birdbeak man stood up, and at the same time, there was the sound of water dripping.
Chen Ge looked at the lower half of the man's body. His pants were drenched in blood, and dark blood was dripping down his pants to the ground.
"I don't understand what you're trying to say. The other members have already left, that should be bad news for you." Chen Ge continued to approach as if he did not see the blood stain on the birdbeak man's pants.
"Is that so?"
The birdbeak man took a step to the side, revealing the old man's body with a terrified expression.
"Occasionally, there will be some newbies disappearing for no reason, but everyone has gotten used to it." He appeared to be talking to himself, but at the same time, it appeared like he wanted Chen Ge to hear him.
After saying that, the birdbeak man turned around. Compared to the strange tool in his hand and the blood stain on his upper body, the most eye-catching thing was his face.
He was not even wearing a mask!
The protruding beak that looked like a bird's beak was growing on his face, and the blood vessels that were unique to the monsters behind the door swam on his cheeks. This man was probably not human!
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it." The birdbeak man waved the strange tool in his hand, and it creaked noisily. "From the first time I saw you, I wanted to do this, but there were too many people, so I couldn't find the chance. I didn't expect you to come back on your own."
Things were not as Chen Ge expected. Initially, he thought he was dealing with a human.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have wasted so much time." Chen Ge stared at the birdbeak man's face. For the monsters behind the door to survive outside the door, they had to attach themselves to a living person. The thing that wrapped around the birdbeak man's head should be a monster that he had not seen before.
Their relationship was similar to that of Xiong Qing and the thin shadow. The monsters behind the door would attach themselves to a living person, and the living person could control them by satisfying the monsters' needs.
"The official members of the Society of Strange Tales are probably all possessed by monsters. This is a bit tricky. Will there be a Red Specter among them?"
Chen Ge stood where he was to think. The birdbeak man thought that Chen Ge was scared out of his wits, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. He liked to watch people struggle, and that was one of the few things that he enjoyed here.
Because of this, there were a lot of bloody scratches at the elevator door.
He would always drag them into the abyss of despair when they had the last bit of hope.
"The Society of Strange Tales is not a place for charity. To gain salvation, you have to pay the price!"
The birdbeak man grabbed the strange tool in his hand and charged at Chen Ge. The beak-like mouth released a shrill scream.
Then his neck was curled up by the black hair, and his whole body was suspended in midair. His legs kicked furiously, and the blood vessels spread. His face was purplish from the effort.
