Chen Ge had run into two members of the Society of Strange Tales at Coffin Village. At the time, there should have been another member from the Society of Strange Tales staying in Jiujiang to deal with the police.
Initially, he had thought that the eye-gouging case was related to Coffin Village, but from the looks of it, the Society of Strange Tales's real goal was probably to deal with him.
Zhang Ya and Xu Yin were both asleep, so the only Specter that Chen Ge could use was Yan Danian, who was known as the strongest Lesser Red Specter but only had a support function.
In Coffin Village, the Society of Strange Tales has gotten a good grasp of my background. They now know that Zhang Ya is still asleep, and the situation is not good for me.
Chen Ge looked at the map on the table and did not say anything. For him, the situation was not good, but for the Society of Strange Tales, it was on the verge of collapse.
Wu Fei was killed by the female ghost at the door of Coffin Village. The black phone did not send a message to inform Chen Ge of his death, but there was a small detail. After the female ghost picked up the black robe that Wu Fei wore, she was very excited and left.
Chen Ge had suspected that Wu Fei had hidden a part of his consciousness on the scapegoat and then placed the scapegoat somewhere else.
The female ghost was so happy after she found the black robe, so there was obviously something important inside it. Perhaps there was a scapegoat hidden inside.
If that was the case, then Wu Fei would rather die than fall into the female ghost's hands.
The Society of Strange Tales's plan for Coffin Village had failed, and they had lost one member. Now, there were only two members left.
Of the remaining two, one was being pursued by the police, and the other was fighting with Doctor Chen at Coffin Village. It seemed like they would not rest until one of them was dead.
Chen Ge knew that the Society of Strange Tales was not having a good time either, and he was afraid that they would do something desperate.
After all, for a madman, anything was possible.
"Five murders surrounding New Century Park. This shouldn't be a coincidence. Their next target might be you." Captain Yan put the map away. "We've found the killer, and we'll probably apprehend him in three days. In that time, you'd better not stay at the park at night."
"Understood." Chen Ge finally understood why Captain Yan had sent him to the station — the police were there to protect him.
Captain Yan asked some more questions of Chen Ge, and during the questioning, he subconsciously revealed some information about the eye-gouging case. Chen Ge remembered them all.
It was not until 9 pm that Captain Yan finally allowed him to leave.
After exiting the station, Chen Ge took out his phone. Gao Ru Xue had not called him.
If she was anxious, she would have told me. Did something happen to her while she was waiting for me? Chen Ge had a feeling that Gao Ru Xue's reaction earlier was a bit weird.
He got into the taxi and rushed to Western Jiujiang Medical University. On the way, he called Gao Ru Xue several times.
Similar to before, there was no answer on the first two calls. It was only on the third call that the call was answered. "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
"I'm at the old education block. Come quickly. My roommate is becoming more and more abnormal." Gao Ru Xue's voice was tinged with anxiety. She sounded like she was hiding somewhere.
"If you're in danger, I suggest you call the police immediately. Compared to me, the police are more trustworthy." Chen Ge urged the driver to drive faster.
"I'm worried that my roommate's soul has been swapped with something. If I call the police, they won't believe me. My two roommates might not be able to return. "Gao Ru Xue seemed to know many things, and that was obvious from her tone.
"Set your phone to call the police and try to go to crowded places. I'll be there in half an hour."
After hanging up, Chen Ge held the phone and started to think. Every time I call Gao Ru Xue, she only picks up on the third call. When I called her earlier, it was very quiet around her. Why would she go to such a quiet place when she might be in danger?
Sitting in the taxi, Chen Ge called Heshan and Doctor Gao.
…
At 9: 30 pm, Gao Ru Xue looked at the decreasing number of people in the study room. She called Chen Ge again.
"I'm sorry, the number you've called is busy …"
This was the twenty-third time she had called Chen Ge that night, but each call indicated that the number was busy.
"Did something happen to him?" Gao Ru Xue borrowed her friend's phone, but there was still no answer. It was like the number was cursed and could not be reached.
Last night at the dormitory, when the three people came in, I called everyone in my contact list. Only Chen Ge's message was different from the others, but why is it the other way around now? Everyone else's phone is fine. Only his phone is busy. Who is he talking to? "
Gao Ru Xue was lost in thought as she held the phone. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder.
"Xiao Xue, let's go back to the dormitory." Liu Xianxian called Gao Ru Xue to go back with her. She behaved the same as usual, be it her expression, her actions, or even her tone of voice.
However, this was what scared Gao Ru Xue. She knew in her heart that the person standing before her might not be her roommate.
"You guys go first, I still have something to do." Gao Ru Xue put away her phone and flipped through the book on the table.
"You've been so distracted lately. Don't tell me you really have a boyfriend?" Liu Xianxian leaned in close to Gao Ru Xue. The familiar gesture, even the joke was the same as before.
Gao Ru Xue's best friend was right next to her, but when Liu Xianxian moved closer, her body involuntarily became stiff, and she felt a trace of coldness.
"Then go back to the dormitory when you're done, I'll be leaving first." Liu Xianxian took the book and left Gao Ru Xue. After she left the study room, Gao Ru Xue finally calmed down.
"I definitely can't stay in the dormitory tonight." Gao Ru Xue took out her phone and called Dr. Gao again.
"Dad, will you be home tonight? I want to go home for the night. "
"I'm at the hospital now, and I probably won't be home until midnight. Why do you suddenly want to go home?"
"My roommate has been acting weird lately. I'll tell you when I get home."
"Okay."
Gao Ru Xue walked out of the classroom with the book and water bottle. She saw Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying talking at the staircase like they were waiting for her.
Avoiding the two, Gao Ru Xue left through the staircase on the other side of the corridor. She did not return to the dormitory. Instead, she took the book and water bottle and hailed a taxi to go home.
"This is so strange. Why can't I get through to Chen Ge, and his line is always busy?"
Taking out her phone, Gao Ru Xue called Chen Ge for the 24th time.
