With Xu Yin leading the way, and after ensuring that there was no danger, Chen Ge entered.
Following the wooden ladder to the bottom of the tunnel, Chen Ge hung up the phone and turned on the flashlight function on his phone.
He walked forward with his back bent. After walking for about three meters, a steel door appeared before him, and it was sealed by the police.
Probably because it had been underground for too long, the steel door was covered in red rust.
Chen Ge tried to push the door, and he was shocked.
The door appeared to have grown into the ground around it. No matter how hard he pushed, the door would not budge.
"It's locked?" Chen Ge inspected the steel door, but he did not see any keyholes, so there was no way it was locked.
"Looks like I'll have to use another method." Chen Ge took out the hammer and calculated the distance between the door and the ground. "If I make any noise here, the tenants upstairs won't notice."
He took a few steps back, raised the hammer, and slammed it heavily on the edge of the steel door!
Blood red rust fell to the ground, and large chunks of dirt fell from the ceiling. It felt like the place was about to collapse.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
When Chen Ge hung up on Fan Cong, he had already prepared himself. After a few more whacks, the steel door finally fell open.
The dirt fell on him, and Chen Ge felt like his body was shaking.
This place was very dangerous, but since he was already there, it was not Chen Ge's style not to go in and take a look.
He looked at the steel door that he had hammered open, and he reached out to touch the edge of the door.
At the place where the door and the dirt were connected, there were many things that looked like dead plant roots. Most of them were gray, but some were blood red.
"These are the blood vessels that crawled out from behind the door? What is the difference between a normal door and a door that has gone out of control? " Chen Ge inspected the iron door before him, and the more he looked at it, the stranger he felt. "The door is embedded in the corridor, and it is very difficult to open. Even an adult like me would have a hard time pushing it open, much less Xiao Bu."
Chen Ge suspected that the door wasn't pushed open by Xiao Bu in the secret room. Instead, it was purposely closed by the police to prevent people from entering the secret room.
"There's a police seal on the door, so I can't see the keyhole. Instead of calling it a door, it's more appropriate to call it a metal plate that blocks the road."
"Assuming the door was installed by the police, where is the real door in the secret room?"
Chen Ge observed the edge of the iron gate and soon found something.
Inside the iron gate, there was a blood-red wooden frame a little further away from the iron gate.
But strangely, the door frame was still there, but the door was gone.
"There should be a second door in the secret chamber, but where is it?"
"After losing control, the door will disappear? Or was it taken away by the police as evidence? Or did they find something on the door? "
Chen Ge grumbled to himself. He raised his phone, and when the light shone on the secret room behind the iron gate, he was stunned.
Behind the iron gate was a secret room about thirty square meters in size. There was a large iron cage in the middle of the room, and inside it were many sets of doll outfits.
At that moment, there appeared to be a girl standing in the middle of the pile of doll outfits.
"Xiao Bu?"
Xu Yin did not give him any warning. Chen Ge gripped the hammer and slowly approached. He walked two meters forward, and when he reached the 'girl', he realized that it was a mannequin.
The mannequin had the name Jiang Bai written on it with a red ballpoint pen, and it looked quite scary.
"Jiang Bai is Jiang Long's daughter, so why would this mannequin have her name on it?"
The door of the cage was not locked, and Chen Ge soon made a new discovery. All the plush dolls inside the cage had the name 'Zhang Chuyu' written on their jackets with a marker.
This name was familiar to Chen Ge as well. After all, she was Jiang Long's first wife.
"Could it be that Xiao Bu had Zhang Chuyu put on all the doll outfits and locked her inside the iron cage as well?"
Xiao Bu pushed open the door inside the secret room and entered the world behind the door. She was so young, so the chance of her leaving the world behind the door alive was close to zero.
Based on Chen Ge's prediction, when Xiao Bu came out, she had already turned into a Red Specter.
"Jiang Long's family of four, Jiang Xiaohu was sent to the mental hospital, Jiang Long died in a car accident, and his wife and daughter went missing. Are these all the handiwork of Xiao Bu?"
Most Red Specters were driven by a certain emotion, pain, or hatred. They were much more powerful than normal Specters, but they were also controlled by their emotions. They would be more rash and crazy, possessing a strong desire to destroy.
Chen Ge was not surprised by anything that Xiao Bu could do, but he did not understand how Xiao Bu managed to get Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Bai to Li Wan City.
Even though Red Specters were not like normal Specters, who needed to attach themselves to something when they were alive, they could not stray too far away from where they were.
Even someone as powerful as Zhang Ya had been staying at Western Jiujiang's Private Academy. It was not until her love letter was drawn by Chen Ge that she left the academy.
The main reason she was able to move around freely was because she saw Chen Ge's shadow as her attachment. In other words, Chen Ge was her attachment, and that was why she was able to follow Chen Ge around Jiujiang.
"Someone helped Xiao Bu send Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Bai over?" Chen Ge had interacted with ghosts often, so he knew that ghosts could sometimes be communicated with.
He suspected that the culprit had made some kind of deal with Xiao Bu. The culprit handed Jiang Long's family over to Xiao Bu, and Xiao Bu had to help him complete something in return.
"The Society of Strange Tales once controlled the door in Li Wan City. According to Doctor Gao, they even stored some of the things that the Society of Strange Tales had accumulated inside this door. Could it be them who made the deal with Xiao Bu?"
Chen Ge thought about it and did not think that was possible. "The Society of Strange Tales was probably tricked by the shadow in Eastern Jiujiang. This door is different from the one at the Third Sick Hall. It was created by someone, a part of the shadow's setup."
From the perspective of a bystander, Chen Ge saw things more clearly. "The Society of Strange Tales's activities are mainly in Western Jiujiang and Northern Jiujiang, but they just had to discover a door in Eastern Jiujiang. Perhaps the shadow is behind this. He probably wants to consume the Society of Strange Tales as well."
At its peak, the Society of Strange Tales had many normal Specters, several Red Specters, and even Wu Fei, the genius among the mad, and Doctor Gao, the madman among the madmen. Even so, they had been tricked by the shadow. This made Chen Ge even more wary of the culprit in Eastern Jiujiang.
"Before Doctor Gao died, he mentioned this door in Eastern Jiujiang. Looks like Eastern Jiujiang left a deep impression on him. He probably crossed paths with the ghosts in Eastern Jiujiang before, but he did not gain the upper hand." Actually, Chen Ge wished to borrow Doctor Gao's power, but the man was not even a human anymore. After giving it some thought, he gave up on this dangerous idea.
