The camera was placed on the television, and from this angle, it was the image that Chen Ge saw when he turned around.
The lights flickered on and off. Squatting before the television, Chen Ge slowly had the illusion that he was not watching a video but was looking at the living room behind him.
The lights in the living room were still flickering, and the frequency of the flickering in real life seemed to overlap with the frequency of the flickering in the video.
When the lights in the television dimmed, the lights in the living room dimmed as well. Soon, they both lit up at the same time.
"Is the video affecting reality? No, it's the work of a ghost. "Chen Ge did not turn around. His eyes were glued to the bedroom door that was slowly opening in the video.
Every time the lights dimmed, the bedroom door would open several centimeters. When the lights flickered for the seventh time, Chen Ge saw a strand of black hair poking out from behind the bedroom door.
"The hair is very long, so it should be a woman. Could she be the second homeowner?" Chen Ge still did not turn around. He gripped the hammer in his hands tightly.
When the lights dimmed for the eighth time, the strand of hair was blown by the wind, and half of the face started to poke out.
Chen Ge stared at the face in the video and counted in his heart. The time of dimming seemed to be fixed.
The face leaned out from the bedroom door, and just as it was about to poke out, the light in the video and in real life suddenly went out at the same time!
"Xu Yin!" Chen Ge reacted in one second. He swung the hammer with both hands and swung it behind him!
The hammer landed on the sofa, and Chen Ge's eyes scanned the room.
The room was dark, and something seemed to be moving.
Several seconds later, the lights came back on.
In reality, nothing had changed in the living room, but the bedroom door had opened, just like in the video!
Chen Ge turned to look at the television. The screen was filled with black and white static, and the video ended.
Kicking the sofa away, Chen Ge looked at the slowly spinning tape. When Xu Yin's voice came, he slowly walked toward the bedroom.
The wooden door was half-open, and there were a few strands of the woman's hair on the ground. Chen Ge picked them up and rubbed them with his hands.
"If you continue to wear down my patience like this, be careful that I don't burn all of you."
Walking forward, he saw that the bedroom was in a mess. There were all kinds of junk on the floor, and there were several rows of wooden boards nailed to the closet. The bedside table was also sealed shut.
Every piece of furniture that can be opened has been boarded up. What is hidden inside these pieces of furniture? Which tenant did those videos belong to? "
Looking at the furniture that was sealed up by wooden boards, a thought appeared in Chen Ge's mind. Did the tenants who recorded these videos find the reason for the haunting through the videos? Is that why you sealed the drawers and wardrobe? "
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The tenant must have seen a ghost crawl out from a drawer or a piece of furniture. To prevent this from happening again, he sealed up all the furniture in the house that could be opened.
Chen Ge stopped in the middle of the bedroom, and he thought of another problem. Including the female ghost, I've run into three ghosts in total, and all three of them can enter and leave this room freely. This means that the trick of sealing up the furniture was not effective. In other words, the owner might have left one of the drawers unsealed, and this unsealed drawer is probably the one I'm looking for.
He took Xiaoxiao out from his pocket and placed her at the bedroom door as a warning. He swung the hammer to open the drawers and the closet. All the drawers and closet are sealed, so the drawer I'm looking for is in the other bedroom?
Xiaoxiao's body leaned forward like she was trying to crawl out. When Chen Ge picked her up, he realized that her finger was pointing toward the door.
Initially, he did not think too much about it, but when he passed the living room door, he glanced out the door.
The doors to Room 304 and Room 305 were not closed, and standing between the two rooms was an old lady with a hunched back.
She did not speak and faced Room 304. The wrinkles on her face were like the skin of a bean, and she looked quite scary.
His body froze at the door, and Chen Ge subconsciously placed the hammer behind him.
"Granny, are you the tenant here?" Chen Ge's voice was as calm as ever, and it did not raise much of a ripple.
The old lady did not answer Chen Ge. In fact, her eyes were not even on Chen Ge but on the drawers that Chen Ge had pried open.
"It's already so dark. If there's nothing else, why don't you go home?" An old lady standing outside his door in the middle of the night was definitely not normal. Actually, if it was a young man standing outside his door, Chen Ge would have smashed him with the hammer regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost.
"Were you the one who opened the drawers?" The old lady's voice was hoarse, and it sounded like rough bark rubbing against each other.
"Yes, I plan to buy these two rooms, and I'm currently arranging the furniture." Chen Ge stared at the old lady. If she made any move, he would not hesitate to call for Xu Yin.
"You'd better leave now. Find a half-immortal to take a look at you. Perhaps you're already haunted by her." The old lady walked down the stairs halfway. Her footsteps were slow, and her gait was wobbly.
"Haunted by her? Why don't you explain yourself before you leave? "
Chen Ge chased her to the stairs, and the old lady pointed at Room 304. "There used to be an English teacher living there. She was very pretty, and she had a sweet voice. I believe it was a crime of passion. She was separated and placed inside the drawers, and she was only discovered after a long time. She was very resentful, and anyone who entered this room would be haunted by her. "
"English teacher?" Chen Ge felt like the old lady was telling the truth, so he was not lying. However, the problem was, a strange old lady standing at the door in the middle of the night was a very strange thing in itself!
"Granny, why are you telling me these things?" Chen Ge stood under the light and did not follow the old lady down the stairs. He continued to ask, "Can you tell me how you know about these things?"
"I live in the building next door, and the murdered English teacher is my daughter." The old lady's face darkened, and even her voice sounded creepy. "You're the third victim. She has done many things, and I do not wish to see her continue like this."
"Let's go, we mustn't stay in those two rooms." The old lady walked down the stairs alone. She walked very slowly like she was waiting for Chen Ge to follow her.
"But I still have a question." Chen Ge was about to ask the old lady who her daughter had harmed when he received a message on his phone. It was from the woman from the middleman.
"Do you know why every house in that residential area is so quiet at night and turns off the lights so early? There is an old lady's ghost in that residential area, and she will often follow the light and sound to find her way home! "
After reading the message, Chen Ge raised his head again. The old lady stopped at the corner of the stairs, and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together. Her voice was getting weirder and weirder. "Let's go. Follow me down the stairs. That room is very dangerous."
His eyes moved between the old lady and the two rooms. Chen Ge suddenly tossed the backpack to the side, and the speculation in his mind slowly formed. "I can't trust any of them, and there is no need to."
