The person did not seem to expect such a direct reply. Ten seconds later, there was a new message. "I'm hiding inside the dresser in Room 3239. There seems to be something around here."
"Give me a general description of the thing." Chen Ge was too lazy to type, so he sent a voice message.
"I can't see clearly. It's dark outside, but I can feel their presence."
"Don't you have a phone? Why don't you turn on the flashlight? "
"I'll be discovered."
"Then how did you get into Room 3239? Do you have the key to this room?"
"No, the door was open, so I hid inside."
"Where's Ol 'Wong?"
"Ol 'Wong?"
The conversation was fast. On Chen Ge's side, the other person was typing, but there was no message.
"Did I kill the conversation?" Chen Ge waited for a long time, but there was still no reply. He took out his phone to send another message. "Are you there?"
The elevator reached the 23rd floor. During this period, Chen Ge sent out thirteen 'are you there?'. When he sent out the fourteenth, he realized that he had been blacklisted.
You're the one who harassed me, and you're the one who blocked me. Are you crazy? He walked out of the elevator and pressed the button on the recorder.
The blood-stained tape slowly turned. Chen Ge's pupils narrowed, and the influence of the darkness on him was minimized. If you're crazy, you need to be treated as soon as possible.
His nerves tensed, he leaned against the wall and slowly walked down the corridor.
Xiao Jia lost control after reading the message on the phone and bit his partner. Ghosts hiding in the dark should have the power to influence a living person's mind.
The blood face from the Society of Strange Tales has a similar power, but the blood face has to get close to the target and change into the same face as the target before it can be controlled.
"This is a special kind of ghost. Normally, ghosts with this kind of special power are not very strong, like the Pen Spirit."
When Chen Ge arrived, he did not bring the cleaver or hammer. He reached into his shirt pocket with one hand, gripped the ballpoint pen, and touched the wall with the other, afraid that one of the doors would suddenly open and a ghost would crawl out.
Counting the numbers on the door, Chen Ge soon arrived at Room 3239.
He pulled the lock, but the door did not budge.
"This should be the room." He knocked on the door. "Is anyone there?"
The blood-stained tape made an ear-piercing noise, as if Xu Yin was warning Chen Ge.
After knocking a few times, to Chen Ge's surprise, a man's voice came from Room 3239.
"Who is it? In the middle of the night? What's the matter? "
"Someone's there?" Chen Ge was actually more surprised than the man in the room. He wondered if the man was being manipulated by the members of the Society of Strange Tales, or the man in the room was a member of the Society of Strange Tales.
He was extremely nervous and paid close attention.
The security doors in Fang Hwa Apartments were double-layered. Soon, the inner door was opened.
A man about 1.7 meters tall stood in the room with a cold expression.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm here to help the police chase after the fugitive. Our people will be here soon." Chen Ge's tone was similar to Captain Yan's.
"Another fugitive?" The man's face turned even paler, and his brows creased together.
"Hubby, what's going on?" A woman in her thirties walked out from the living room as well.
"They said another fugitive is here."
"Didn't we just capture a fugitive here last time? This place is too dangerous. It's happened so many times already! "The woman's voice was shrill." I've already told you to move away, but you wouldn't listen! "
"Move away? Where do we live?"
The man was furious. Neither of them backed down, and they started to argue.
Chen Ge looked at this coldly. He still could not confirm whether they were members of the Society of Strange Tales or not, but he instinctively felt that there was something off about these two.
When people are arguing, they will subconsciously look at each other and even make some physical movements, but these two don't. Their bodies are very stiff. Are they trying to hold themselves back, or are they putting on a show for me?
After a few more words of argument, the woman entered the room while the man stayed at the door.
He looked like he was holding back his anger, and his attitude toward Chen Ge was very harsh. "We're just tenants of this building. We haven't seen any fugitives or heard any strange voices. You'd better go ask someone else."
Normally, when a stranger knocked on their door at night, no one would answer the door. Chen Ge had expected that. If the man opened the door and invited him in, then he would have to be even more careful.
"I just want to ask you a few questions." Chen Ge pointed at the houses next to them. "How much do you know about your neighbors?"
"There are no tenants on either side. There's a man who lives alone on the opposite side. He moved in about two months ago. I don't see him leave the house often, so I haven't had any interaction with him."
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"Wednesday night. I was working overtime, so I came back three hours later than usual. I ran into him in the elevator."
"Wednesday? The elevator? " Chen Ge instantly connected the man to the members of the Society of Strange Tales. "Do you know the man's name?"
"I don't know." The man closed the door after saying that.
The sound of the door closing echoed down the corridor. Chen Ge stood in the middle of the corridor. He turned around to look at the room opposite 3239.
"Are the members of the Society of Strange Tales hiding in the opposite room?" There was suspicion in his eyes. The couple from 3239 looked normal on the surface, but they had 'accidentally' revealed the most important information to Chen Ge — Wednesday and the elevator. Only those who had joined the Society of Strange Tales would know that.
"Did they say that on purpose? To lure me to the opposite room? "
Chen Ge could not tell whether this was a coincidence or a trap. Ever since he obtained the black phone, he had become more and more cautious.
Gripping the ballpoint pen in his right hand, his left hand grabbed the doorknob of the room opposite 3239. Chen Ge pulled slightly, and the door opened outward.
"It's not locked?"
The moment he realized that the door was not locked, Chen Ge immediately retreated. The real trap should be the room opposite 3239.
The moment he loosened his grip, a small blood-red hand reached out and grabbed at him!
The two were only several centimeters away from each other!
"What is this?"
In the dark corridor, the door creaked open slowly. On the inside of the door was a boy with short limbs, a large head, and a face that was purplish from being squeezed!
The thing that made Chen Ge even more worried was that the boy was wearing a bloody shirt!
The deformed mouth slowly opened, revealing the crooked teeth inside. The boy appeared to be smiling.
"Father killed us and placed us at the door.
"Big brother hid behind the door.
"He told me to hide behind the door."
As he said that, another deformed head poked out from inside the room. The face was swollen, and the eyeballs hung from the face.
"Father killed us and placed us at the door.
"Little brother hid behind the door.
"He told me to hide behind the door."
The two boys crawled out from the room with strange expressions. They stood before Chen Ge one after the other.
Bright red blood dripped from their bodies, turning into threads of blood that spread in all directions. They were like millipedes crawling on the walls and the floor at high speed.
The atmosphere in the corridor became oppressive, but the Society of Strange Tales was not done yet.
A white shadow slowly crawled out from Room 3239. It was the white shadow that had escaped from the woman who had killed Xu Yin.
The monster only had a third of its body left, and it looked like it was running for its life.
It crawled on the blood vessels, but its body was soon dragged back into the room. Then there was the sound of chewing inside the room.
"There are other monsters inside the room?"
Unfortunately, Chen Ge was right. A hand covered in blood vessels reached out. It looked like a normal person, but the thing that alarmed Chen Ge was that the hand seemed to have been severely scalded before. There were no palm prints.
The air seemed to freeze, and the smell of blood permeated the corridor. The hand pressed on the head of one of the boys like a father caressing the deformed head.
"He has found us. Now it's your turn to find him."
The man's voice was hoarse like he had consumed something highly corrosive. Just his voice was enough to send chills down Chen Ge's spine.
Hearing the man's words, the two boys in red revealed extremely happy smiles on their faces. They replied in unison.
"Okay, father."
The two deformed faces were closing in. Xu Yin could not even deal with one Red Specter, much less two Red Specters.
Chen Ge felt a pressure that he had not felt before. Without any hesitation, he called out the name on the love letter.
"Zhang Ya!"
Like a drop of water falling into a deep pool, Chen Ge's shadow rippled. The rapidly spreading blood vessels suddenly stopped. Even the hand that dangled outside the door, without any palm prints, trembled slightly.
Waves of black hair crawled out from Chen Ge's shadow and slammed against the walls on both sides. It used the most direct and violent method to crush all the blood vessels that got close to him.
The temperature on the 23rd floor dropped again. Zhang Ya's delicate face was stuck to Chen Ge's back. Under the bone-chilling coldness hid a soul that was as bright as fire!
"This is the ghost in your heart?" The person behind the door slowly walked out. He was wearing a bright red jacket and a mask, but even with the mask, it could not completely hide his face that was completely ruined.
"Be careful, Zhang Ya!" Chen Ge retreated decisively. In a battle between Red Specters, he could not help much.
Even without Chen Ge's reminder, or rather, even if Chen Ge did, Zhang Ya would not listen to him.
Without any nonsense or probing, Zhang Ya's eyes were filled with resentment. Her black hair was like a huge wave that swept past the wall and crashed into the two boys!
The blood vessels and the black hair tangled together. Chen Ge hid behind Zhang Ya, and his mind was occupied with other things.
"The person controlling the two boys should be Patient 10 from the Third Sick Hall."
The face, body, and even the fingerprints on his hands had been burned away. In terms of appearance, he matched Patient 10.
"The Haunted House has reconstructed all the sickrooms in the Third Sick Hall, and the records of this patient are carved on the walls of Room 10. The reason he went crazy is because he accidentally caused the death of his two children. His heart was filled with guilt, and the continuous trauma caused his mind to crumble."
Everything matched up. Chen Ge really did not expect that he would run into the scariest Patient 10 at the Third Sick Hall that night!
He had underestimated the determination of the Society of Strange Tales to get rid of him. After Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming lost contact, the Society of Strange Tales had already started to plan tonight.
With a madman like Wu Fei around, they would not make the same mistake. Tonight, the Society of Strange Tales would come out in full force!
Zhang Ya's appearance did not give Chen Ge a sense of security. Patient 10 alone had two Red Specters, and other than him, the Society of Strange Tales had six other members!
"Bang!"
Blood vessels exploded. Zhang Ya's black hair curled around a boy's neck, and he was slammed to the ground.
However, strangely enough, the boy did not feel any pain. In fact, a smile appeared on his ugly face. "Big brother, I can't breathe anymore."
The already uncoordinated head grew larger, and blood vessels appeared on his face. His head was about to explode from the grip of the black hair.
At this moment of life and death, the other Red Specter and the man by the door did not show any intention of helping. In fact, the man ordered the big brother to jump over Zhang Ya and attack Chen Ge first.
The black hair wrapped around the little brother, and after a cruel scream, the blood vessels were not absorbed by the hair. Instead, they seeped out from the gaps and reformed into a boy not far away.
His head seemed to have shrunk, and the red Specter on his body dimmed. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"How much longer do you want to wait?" The man with the ruined face seemed to be pained, and there was a trace of anger in his voice.
"We just want to play it safe. After all, the ghost in his heart is not normal." The front door of Room 3239 opened again, and the couple walked out. The man had a thin shadow on his shoulder while the woman was walking upside down. The blood face on the back of her head was smiling wickedly.
The two walked out with a smile, thinking that victory was within their grasp. However, to their surprise, the moment the front door opened, the black hair curled up and curled around their bodies like snakes.
Dealing with four ghosts at the same time? And two of them were Red Specters!
The man and woman shared a look, and they saw the shock and fear in each other's eyes.
"Didn't you say that you can hold back the ghosts on the target?" The woman screamed, and then she could not make another sound. The black hair pierced into the blood face's face.
The man was also wailing. The thin shadow tried to crawl back into the man's body, but it was pulled out bit by bit by the black hair.
"One against four?" The man with the ruined face slowly gripped his scarred hands. He thought that this was a sure win, but something unexpected still happened.
The black hair swam in the blood world like a raging river. Zhang Ya in a red dress stood quietly in the middle of the corridor. When she heard the man with the ruined face, she slowly moved her eyes away from Chen Ge.
