At around 10 pm, Chen Ge found out the exact location of his home from Doctor Gao. He looked in that direction, and there was a house on the same floor that was brightly lit like all the lights in the house had been switched on.
"That should be the house."
The window was closed, and there was a woman standing behind the curtain. The woman looked nervous, and she kept pulling the curtain back to look down.
"Gao Ru Xue?"
The woman saw Chen Ge, but she did not show any surprise or surprise. Instead, her face was filled with fear like she had seen something scary.
"Looks like the phone spirit is affecting her."
When a person was given a shock that exceeded their limit, they would faint. That was the human body's self-defense mechanism.
However, the terror created by the phone spirit was different from this kind of sudden shock. It used the victim's own fear to slowly torture the victim until they were on the verge of mental breakdown. In such a state, the subject might be driven crazy or do something extremely irrational.
"Please don't do anything stupid!"
Chen Ge rushed into the stairwell and pressed the button for the elevator, but it stopped at the thirteenth floor.
He had no choice but to climb the stairs.
After completing so many missions given by the black phone, compared to logical thinking and courage, Chen Ge felt like his physical strength had improved the most.
Activating the recorder, holding the hammer, Chen Ge did not care about scaring the tenants inside the building. He ran up the stairs as fast as he could!
The voice-activated lights came on, and Chen Ge reached the thirteenth floor in one go.
In the empty corridor, one of the doors was left open, and it stood out like a sore thumb.
"Found it!"
Chen Ge rushed to the door and called Gao Ru Xue's name, but there was no reply from inside the house. He could only hear Gao Ru Xue's groan of pain and the sound of something breaking.
The girl who was calm and rational in his impression appeared to have gone mad. Chen Ge did not dare waste any more time. He raised the hammer and smashed at the door!
"Bang!"
With all his might, the blood vessels in the hammer moved. Chen Ge had lost count of how many times he had smashed the door before the lock finally broke.
Holding the hammer, Chen Ge rushed into the room. He saw Gao Ru Xue's upper body leaning out the window.
What was even more terrifying was that there was a scrawny child on top of her head. The child hugged her head and used his body to block her ears. His hands covered her eyes tightly.
"Xu Yin!"
Chen Ge's scream could be heard from several floors above. All the lights in the room went out at that moment, and the air seemed to freeze. A blood-red figure pounced at Gao Ru Xue!
Seeing Xu Yin come over, the child on Gao Ru Xue's head looked terrified. Without any hesitation, he let go and disappeared.
Gao Ru Xue's senses returned to normal. Before she could react, she saw a red-clothed evil ghost with wounds all over its body pouncing at her.
She wanted to scream, but no sound came out of her throat. Her hands were powerless, and she let her body fall backwards.
"Hold on tight!"
The familiar voice appeared again, and Gao Ru Xue's eyes slowly focused. The evil ghost in the room had disappeared, and only Chen Ge was holding on to her arm.
The lights were off. Gao Ru Xue looked at the man standing in the dark, and her mind slowly returned to normal.
Stepping on the windowsill, Chen Ge used all his strength to pull Gao Ru Xue up.
Looking at Gao Ru Xue, who was still in shock, Chen Ge's heart was racing. Thankfully, the front door was open. If that door was locked, I wouldn't have been able to get in so quickly.
Sitting on the ground, Chen Ge was still worried about Gao Ru Xue. He dragged her to the sofa. "Everything's fine now. Rest well. I'll go call Doctor Gao."
About ten minutes later, the lights in the room came back on, and footsteps echoed down the corridor.
Chen Ge lifted his head, and he realized it was Doctor Gao. He looked completely different from his usual self. He had lost the confidence and grace of a mature man, and his eyes were filled with worry.
"Xiao Xue." Leaning against the sofa, Doctor Gao grabbed Gao Ru Xue's hand. The usually cold Gao Ru Xue finally showed her vulnerable side.
Silently putting the hammer back into his backpack, Chen Ge picked up Gao Ru Xue's broken phone and walked out the door alone.
That was not the end of the night. He had to get the phone spirit!
A baleful Specter below the rank of Red Specter can't be exposed for long. They have to possess something, so the phone spirit can't have gotten far.
Chen Ge did not chase blindly; his mind was clear.
When I entered the building to take the elevator, the elevator stopped at the thirteenth floor. At the time, the phone spirit was lying on top of Gao Ru Xue's head to fool her, so it has to be another person or ghost that stopped the elevator from going down.
There was obviously someone behind the phone spirit, and that person was probably the person who had blocked the elevator door to stop the elevator from going down.
If it was just to lure Gao Ru Xue away, he wouldn't have done this because he had no reason to kill Gao Ru Xue. If the plan fails, the best choice would be to leave. If I forcefully kill him now, I'll only expose myself more. "
Why did he suddenly change his mind and want to kill Gao Ru Xue?
Several answers appeared in Chen Ge's mind, and the most likely one was that Gao Ru Xue had accidentally seen the killer.
Since Gao Ru Xue had seen the killer, to prevent himself from being exposed, the killer changed his mind and wanted to kill her.
Controlling the phone spirit to lure me out of New Century Park and then to lure Gao Ru Xue somewhere else, the mastermind should be the Society of Strange Tales. Chen Ge leaned against the wall and looked out the window. All the clues in his mind were connected. After tonight, the Society of Strange Tales should only have one person left.
Chen Ge returned to the room and had Doctor Gao go to the residential area to check the surveillance on the thirteenth floor. He squatted down beside the sofa and waited until Doctor Gao left before asking, "Did you run into any strange people on the way home?"
"Strange people?" Gao Ru Xue thought about it. "The driver who drove me home was very suspicious. He kept telling me stories about the eye-gouging murder."
"Was there anyone else other than him?" Gao Ru Xue was influenced by the phone spirit, and no matter what she saw, she would associate it with the scariest possibility.
After thinking for a while, Gao Ru Xue suddenly said, "When I was about to take the elevator, a man wearing an extra-large raincoat came out from the elevator, and I ran into him."
"A raincoat?" Chen Ge perked up. "Did you see his face?"
