Lightning flashed across the night sky, and the flash of light made the human head at the window look even scarier.
Several slender arms stretched out of the window frame. At a glance, it was full of fingers, which was very scary.
At this crucial moment, when the atmosphere was at its peak, Chen Ge was thinking about another problem.
This woman's face is similar to the spider monster that Fan Yu drew. She looks young and fits all the criteria for Jiang Ling's sister.
The beams creaked, and the wooden walls crumbled like they were about to collapse. Chen Ge felt like the whole wooden house was shaking.
The spider web closed in, and the woman's head squeezed into the room. "Save me, save me!"
"I'm here to save you!" Chen Ge did not dare wait any longer. He grabbed the hammer and yelled, "I'm here to save you!"
This was probably the first time the woman had heard this answer. She stopped talking and continued to crawl into the room.
The red spider web stuck to the wall, and the woman's face twisted.
"You're Jiang Ling's sister. We've met tonight!"
The woman did not react like she had no idea what Chen Ge was talking about.
"Jiujiang's Children's Home! Do you remember now? "
Chen Ge was about to call out Xu Yin's name when he suddenly remembered something. He reached into his pocket to take out a plastic bottle.
"Your sister gave this to me!"
There was a flattened spider inside the bottle. When they left Jiujiang's Children's Home, Jiang Ling had given this spider carcass to Chen Ge.
The house slowly stopped shaking. The woman's white eyes stared at the bottle. She did not continue to destroy the window. After staring at Chen Ge for a while, she poked her head in.
The woman's neck was fair and smooth, but it was twice the length of a normal person's.
Chen Ge twisted the cap and held the bottle in one hand toward the woman. The monster's emotions finally calmed down. She closed her mouth and started to think.
"I mean you no harm. I just feel sorry for you and your sister, so I came to help you." Chen Ge silently switched off the recorder. "Your sister has told me many things. I understand your situation, and I know your pain. Strictly speaking, we are the same. I have experienced similar despair before."
Chen Ge had also said these words to Xu Yin. They had been tested in actual combat.
He was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. The only thing he could do was to put himself in the other person's shoes.
A man and a ghost stared at each other, separated by a wall. The atmosphere became increasingly strange.
"I'll clear your name, and I'll take care of your young family!"
"Think about it, why did I brave the rain and enter the mountain alone in the middle of the night?"
"I just want to fulfill your sister's wish and help you, who are in pain!"
In the end, Chen Ge believed it himself. His expression was solemn, and there was a hint of heartache in his voice.
The woman's head slowly shrunk back. She tilted her head to study Chen Ge. The anger on her face lessened and was replaced by confusion.
"I can help you let go of your obsession, bring you away from this place of pain, and find you a new shelter." Chen Ge said with sincerity.
After saying so much, the woman seemed to be intimidated. She did not quite understand. It was not until Chen Ge said that he would bring her away that she instinctively shook her head.
"You love your sister very much, and you want to stay by her side to protect her, but do you know? Because of you, your sister is bullied by other children. She is treated as a patient and a monster. She cannot return to a normal life, unable to love and enjoy being loved.
"I can sympathize with you and understand you, but other people will not. One day, you will become the nightmare of the person you love the most!
"Do you want to hear from your beloved sister that she hates you and is tired of you?"
The woman felt like what had happened that night was different from what she had imagined. Her eyes that were filled with white rolled back and forth, and she shook her head again.
"I will not force you to make any choice. I am merely telling you a truth for your own good." Chen Ge's voice was hoarse, and there was an indescribable weariness to it. "What you have endured and the pain that you might face in the future, I have experienced it all. If one day, you have no home to return to, you can come find me."
Then he made a very bold move. He hid his right hand that was holding the hammer behind him and reached out his left hand toward the woman.
"My younger brother is your sister's best friend. If possible, how about we become friends as well?"
He did not purposely lower his voice. When he said that, there was a strange sound coming from the room next door. It sounded like someone had fallen off the bed.
The woman's eyes rolled madly. She looked at Chen Ge's hand that was reaching toward her and took several steps back.
"We can be friends." Chen Ge walked forward, and the woman's eyes moved even more quickly. She opened her mouth to spit out a spider web at the door. Then she dashed into the peach forest and disappeared.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Ge moved the wooden bed away and rushed out, but the woman was already nowhere to be found. "I haven't given her the address … Oh well, I'll plant a seed in her heart today. To make her an employee of Haunted House, I'll have to start with her sister."
The sound of the door opening came from behind him. The old man stood at the door, holding the lamp in one hand and the hoe in the other.
He was really afraid of Chen Ge. Not only was he not afraid of running into a ghost in the middle of the night, he even actively chased after the ghost! And the worst thing was, there was a look of pity on his face! What was with this feeling of searching for a soulmate?!
"Old man, have you been eavesdropping?" The rain drenched Chen Ge's hair, and he turned back to look at the old man.
The casual look caused the old man's heart to race. What was he planning to do? Silence the witness? Speaking of which, where did he find that malicious-looking hammer?
"No, I was woken up by you talking in your sleep. You'd better go back to sleep." The old man gripped the hoe tightly, and veins popped on the back of his hands. He was so nervous that he could not even speak properly.
"You don't need to lie to me anymore. This place has been the scene of a murder. A family of four, two of them were poisoned to death, and the big sister disappeared. The monster that I saw earlier should be the big sister."
Chen Ge thought about it and continued. "She disappeared into the peach forest, and when I first saw you, you were digging the ground. If I'm not mistaken, you were looking for her body, right?"
The old man was shocked. After a long time, he opened his mouth, and there was a trace of guilt in his voice. "How did you know that?"
