The few words on the residential area's iron gate were filled with malice. Regardless of whether the other party was really hiding among them or not, these few words would plant the seed of suspicion in their hearts and slowly break down their alliance.
"This is very similar to the shadow's style. He might have left these words behind." Gu Ming nudged Lee Zheng's arm. "There are falsehoods in the truth, and truth in the falsehoods. The shadow is very good at this kind of thing. It's like in a game of rock-paper-scissors, some people will tell their opponents exactly what they want to play. The shadow likes psychological warfare. He has possessed many people, seen many people's hearts, and experienced many lives. He is a master of psychological warfare that no one can surpass. "
"Then, do you think the shadow is among us now?" Lee Zheng gripped the gun tightly. In a completely unknown environment, only a gun could give him a sense of security.
"Based on my understanding of him, he might have already replaced one of us." Gu Ming slowed down. "Everyone here could be him, including you and me, and I can tell you for sure that the person that he has chosen will be the person that you think is the most impossible."
"The person that I think is the most impossible?" Lee Zheng looked around before turning to look at Chen Ge. Of everyone here, he was the only one who knew Chen Ge, and he was certain that Chen Ge could not be the shadow.
"When you think he is, he definitely isn't. When you think he isn't, he will kill you when you let your guard down. He won't give you any chance to resist," Jia Ming said in a sinister tone. "That's right.
"You've said so much, but you haven't said anything. How come I feel like you're purposely trying to confuse me?" Lee Zheng frowned. "You're not trying to defend yourself, are you? To clear your own suspicion, you've dragged everyone else into this mess. "
"I've told you many times. The shadow has left my body a long time ago. Why won't you believe me? There is no good person in this place. Only the two of us came from the outside, and we know each other's background. In this kind of situation, we should abandon our prejudices and get to know each other better. " Gu Ming did not trust anyone other than Lee Zheng. He had been possessed by the shadow before, so he knew how scary the shadow could be.
"Isn't it because of you that I entered this godforsaken place? Perhaps this was all part of your plan. You purposely let me see everything. You want me to think that Chen Ge is the shadow, and then you want me to be the witness, "Lee Zheng replied coldly.
"I lured you here because I had no other choice. If I didn't do as the shadow said, I wouldn't have been able to live until now. Shadow was much scarier and crueler than you could imagine. He would kill anyone who was useless to him without hesitation. You know what? In his eyes, everything in this world that he can't use can become an obstacle to him, so killing is the safest choice. "
"I still can't trust you unless you can help me find the shadow." Lee Zheng lowered his voice. "The shadow has stayed in your body for several years. You are the one who understands the shadow the best. Who do you think he will replace now?"
"The most likely one is Chen Ge. Think about it, how could there be such a coincidence? We just happened to come in and we just happened to see him? He is trying his best to clear his name and asked me to lure you here to be the witness. The result is very obvious. " Jia Ming shrugged. "This Chen Ge is fake. He plans to turn the fake into the real one and then kill the real one. Then the fake will become the real one."
With Jia Ming's repeated persuasion, Lee Zheng's gaze changed.
"You should have realized this a long time ago. Have you considered this question? Why does the shadow look like Chen Ge? Why is he doing all this behind the scenes? " Seeing the change in Lee Zheng's attitude, Jia Ming sighed in relief. "Of everyone here, you are the only one who followed me here. In this place, we can only trust each other. Other than you, anyone else could be the shadow."
"I still can't believe what you're saying. Later, I will find a chance to test him." Lee Zheng looked at Chen Ge with a complicated gaze.
"You can test him all you want, but I just need you to remember this. The shadow will become the person that we think is the most impossible. He lives in the cracks of our hearts, and we are no match for him. If we want to survive, the best way is not to become his enemy." Jia Ming knew about the relationship between Lee Zheng and Chen Ge. He was trying to figure out how to convince Lee Zheng when his eyes accidentally fell on Lee Zheng's shadow.
"The most unexpected person …" Jia Ming's eyes suddenly widened. He quickly turned his head around and pretended to look somewhere else to hide his panic.
"What's wrong with you? What kind of trick are you up to now? "Lee Zheng moved the gun on Jia Ming's back.
"It's nothing. I saw something in the building next door, so I ran over there." When Jia Ming said that, he did not turn his head around, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"The more impossible someone is, the more likely it is the shadow. I personally brought Lee Zheng here, and from how I see it, he is the only person I can trust, but if I look at it from another perspective, could he be purposely taking the bait? Is he using me as a shield to disguise himself? Actually, he is the real shadow, and I am just a chess piece that he can abandon at any moment. No one will believe the words of a criminal like me, especially before the police. "
The more Jia Ming thought about it, the more afraid he became. His neck appeared to be plaster, and he could not move at all. He did not even have the courage to look at Lee Zheng. He was afraid that he would give himself away, afraid that he would block the shadow's way.
"Stop wasting time. Let's go in first. Even if the shadow is among us, it is not that big of a deal." Chen Ge did not like to play this kind of guessing game. If not for the fact that there was someone he was familiar with, he would have used the method of elimination that he was most familiar with.
Ignoring the bloody words on the steel door, Chen Ge entered the residential area first.
"I know the door is on the first floor, but as for which room it is, we still need to search more carefully." The tattooed man slowed down to follow behind him. When the human head tattoo on his arm approached the building, all of them had a horrified expression on their faces.
Chen Ge had been to the residential area where Fan Cong lived several times, but the layout of the buildings here was different from what he remembered.
"This place seems to have retained its appearance from several years ago." Chen Ge looked at the surface of the building that was corroded by the blood fog, and he could still make out a few words on it. "Li Wan Hospital Family Residence? The residential area where Fan Cong lived used to have this name? Li Wan Hospital is that private hospital? "
"That private hospital was built later, and Li Wan Hospital was demolished more than ten years ago," the tattooed man said. "There used to be a hospital in Li Wan City that specialized in treating infectious diseases, but for some reason, it was closed down. The more important departments were merged into Jiujiang's People's Hospital and a hospital in Xin Hai."
