There was not a single car on the road at midnight, and the place was eerily quiet. Occasionally, a stray cat would stop by, but soon, it seemed to sense something and ran away.
"Who are you?"
The investigator stood in the middle of the muddy alley. His shoes had disappeared, and his feet were stepping on the trash. Blood leaked out from his wounds.
"You can't even recognize my voice?" The man in the shadow slowly walked out. He was holding a scary hammer in his hand.
The dim light elongated his shadow. The person who spoke was a man, but his shadow had the shape of a long-haired woman.
The investigator saw the man's face clearly. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. "Chen Ge!"
"We don't know each other, but you can call out my name. Looks like I'm not wrong." The man who blocked the exit was Chen Ge. He and Captain Yan had searched the entire third building, but they had not found the last killer.
At the time, Chen Ge had started to suspect it. He had asked Captain Yan for the hospital that the investigator was at. Then, he had returned to New Century Park, grabbed the hammer, and snuck into the hospital.
"How did you discover me?" At this moment, the investigator surprisingly calmed down. He had a strange smile on his face as he stared at Chen Ge's face.
"Why should I tell you?" Pressing the play button on the recorder, Chen Ge walked into the back alley with the hammer in his hands.
"Killing me will do you no good. This is just a part of my consciousness that I've hidden inside my scapegoat. Also, don't forget that I'm currently inside a police officer's body." When the investigator first saw Chen Ge, he was indeed given quite a fright, but he soon calmed down. "If I die, this police officer will die with me."
Chen Ge was too lazy to waste time with him. The phone in his pocket had been recording, and all their conversation was recorded.
Looking at the approaching hammer, the corner of the investigator's lips twitched. Chen Ge's cold expression seemed to be telling him that none of them were good people, so he should stop using such despicable methods to threaten them.
"Actually, we can still talk. Aren't you curious about my identity? Don't you want to know who I am? " The patient was trying his best to communicate with Chen Ge, but from the looks of it, Chen Ge did not seem to want to talk to him.
Seeing that Chen Ge was getting closer, the patient changed his words. "Don't you want to know who the leader of the Society of Strange Tales is?"
"Who's the leader? This is a multiple-choice question, and I'm currently using the elimination method to solve this problem." Chen Ge very tactfully told the investigator that he probably wouldn't survive the night.
Chen Ge did not plan to kill him. He came here behind Captain Yan's back because he had another plan.
He planned to bring the investigator back to the Haunted House and slowly interrogate him.
What was the saying again? There was strength in numbers.
"Arrest him first, then hand him over to the police." Chen Ge said that because his phone was recording. His real intention was to break both of the man's legs first, and that would be enough for now.
The scout could not find any weakness on Chen Ge, but his expression did not change that much. It appeared like he still had a trump card that he had not used yet.
"Chen Ge, I'm sure you'll be interested in what I'm going to say next. If you can let me leave, I'll tell you how the door is formed and how to open and close it. "The investigator had a strange expression on his face. He seemed to be certain that Chen Ge would be interested.
"Think about it. You should know the value of this information." The investigator's expression was calm, but his body involuntarily took two steps back. "The one controlling this police officer is just a scapegoat, and it contains a third of my consciousness. Even if you kill him, I won't be hurt."
"If you won't be hurt, then why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Chen Ge slowed down. "Show me your sincerity. That's the premise of the deal."
Seeing that Chen Ge was finally interested, the investigator sighed in relief. "Since you want to know about the door, I believe you know the location of one of the doors."
"Yes." Chen Ge did not deny it.
"The reason for the appearance of the door is very complicated, and temporarily, no one can explain it. I only know that they usually gather at places with heavy resentment and few people. However, the external environment is only one of the prerequisites. The most important reason is that there has to be someone who knocks on the door."
"Someone who knocks on the door?"
"The world behind the door is a sea of blood red, filled with despair and destruction. It contains the various negative emotions in people's hearts. It is the opposite of the human world, a place where countless nightmares are gathered." The investigator's voice started to waver. "A normal person cannot see that world. Only those who have lost all hope and have a collapsed personality have a chance to push open the door.
"I once heard from the first door-pusher that day, just like any other day, he did not do anything extra. He just pushed open the door that he often used, but the world behind the door was completely different. The door appeared out of nowhere, without any warning. "
"Without warning?"
"Yes, you have a door, so you should have had similar experiences. For example, when you were standing outside the door, you would hear …" The investigator was halfway through his sentence when a siren suddenly came from outside the alley. A few police cars were roaring in their direction!
"You called the police?" The smile on the investigator's face slowly disappeared.
Chen Ge shook his head. "Continue. Tell me the information behind the door, and I can help you cover it up."
"Is that so?" The investigator chuckled coldly.
"You can try. You don't have any other choice now." Chen Ge looked around, looking for a place to hide the hammer.
"Living in hell, do you think the devil will believe the words of the devil?" The investigator turned and ran toward the hospital. Chen Ge chased after him.
"Don't move!"
There were police cars coming from the other side of the alley. The investigator's path was completely blocked. He did not stop and rushed into the hospital without hesitation.
"Using the complicated terrain to escape? Or is he trying to kidnap a hostage? "Chen Ge chased after him, and he soon realized that he had underestimated the investigator's decisiveness and cruelty.
"Bang!"
Kicking open the safety door, the madman ran to the roof of the hospital.
"Don't come any closer!" The investigator stepped on the railing. He stood at the edge of the hospital!
The night wind fluttered the patient's garb. The city was under his feet, and he stood in the darkness, looking down at everything.
Chen Ge, who was following closely behind the investigator, stopped three meters away from the investigator. He did not continue to give the investigator any pressure.
"Chen Ge, I'll remember your name. The next time we meet, I'll give you a surprise." The smile returned to the investigator's face. He looked at Chen Ge and slowly opened his arms.
"Yao Qingyi!" The roof's safety door was pushed open, and Captain Yan and the other people from the station rushed over.
