Eastern Jiujiang was so big, but the shadow had chosen Li Wan City. There had to be a reason for this.
The human-shaped stains on the wall had no pattern to them. Chen Ge had no idea why they would be branded on the wall, but they had used such a strange method to record the pain that they had experienced.
"Are these lingering spirits?" Chen Ge stood next to the stain. He used the red heels to touch them, but the heels that had been unresponsive suddenly leaked out black and red blood. It felt like someone was shedding tears of blood after being humiliated.
Seeing the reaction from the red heels, Chen Ge immediately pulled them back. "The stains on the wall are so dirty that even the red heels are unwilling to get close to them. This is definitely not a normal lingering spirit."
He checked the rooms one by one, but Chen Ge could not find Scissors and the rest. "The residential building is only so big. Where could they have run to? Have they been pulled into the wall as well? Or turned into human shadows? "
The group reached the top floor, and the stains on the wall became denser and darker. It felt like they were about to crawl out from the wall.
"All the human stains are so badly twisted. What kind of pain did they suffer before they died?" The things that happened in Li Wan City had been forgotten. Even on the internet, one could not find any information about Li Wan City. It felt like someone had purposely blocked the information.
"They are not in this building. They were probably transported out through some kind of hidden tunnel." The tattooed man was anxious. "We should leave this residential area first. Where there's life, there's hope. If something happens to us, no one will be able to save them."
"When one of the passengers was dragged away, I noticed that the hands that grabbed his body were very similar to these human stains on the wall. They were twisted and full of holes."
"What are you trying to say?" The tattooed man could not guess what Chen Ge was thinking.
"You've lived in Li Wan City for so many years. Haven't you seen these stains before?" Chen Ge asked the tattooed man in return.
"Of course not! To be honest, I once came to Li Wan Hospital's residential building, but when I arrived, there were no such stains. "
"In other words, they just appeared." Chen Ge did not dare let his guard down. He knew that these human-shaped stains that even the red high heels did not want to get close to were one of the shadow's trump cards. Before Chen Ge could show his trump card, the shadow had already been forced to use one of its trump cards.
"Something must have happened in Li Wan City, or else the shadow wouldn't have used his trump card." Chen Ge ignored the stain on the wall. He opened the steel door that led to the rooftop and carried his backpack to the rooftop.
The wind howled, and the oppressive feeling was swept away. Chen Ge looked at the sky shrouded in blood mist and slowly turned his gaze.
The blood fog in Li Wan City seemed to be attracted by something. It surged toward the eastern side of Li Wan City like a wave, like it was trying to stop something from entering.
"The fog seems to have thinned a lot." This was the second time that Chen Ge had stood on the rooftop to look down at Li Wan City. Compared to last time, his field of vision was much wider, and he could see further with his Yin Yang Vision.
"You have other helpers?" It was the smiling man who spoke. The situation was very clear now. Just as Chen Ge had said, a third force had appeared in Li Wan City, and once that force appeared, it had attracted most of the shadow's attention.
Chen Ge's ability to predict the future caused the smiling man to raise his guard. He was worried that the new force was related to Chen Ge, and if that was the case, the already fragile balance of power would be completely shattered.
"That is not my helper. If I'm not mistaken, this new person is also my enemy. His desire to kill me should not be any weaker than the shadow's." Chen Ge very openly voiced his opinion.
"You sure have a lot of enemies. Even in a situation like this, someone still came to seek revenge. I don't know whether to say it's your luck or your misfortune." The tattooed man smiled apologetically. The fact that Chen Ge was able to provoke so many scary people at the same time proved that this man was not someone to be trifled with.
"That is merely a speculation …" Chen Ge wanted to say something else when a loud boom came from the eastern side of Li Wan City. Even though Chen Ge's group was standing quite a distance away, they could feel the building under their feet shake slightly.
"What kind of confrontation is this?" The tattooed man reminded Chen Ge. "The shadow is being held back by your enemy, so we can use this chance to go to the ghost apartment to find the broken pieces of the 'door'. After we get the pieces, we can leave at any time. Then, we will be able to attack or retreat at will. That will be the real advantage."
The blood fog surged toward the east, enveloping the entire eastern side of Li Wan City. Even with his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could not see through the fog. He could only feel that there was something inside the fog that was attracting him.
He stood at the edge of the building and narrowed his eyes. The layers of fog appeared to be filled with chains, and the thing that gave Chen Ge a familiar feeling was inside the fog and the chains.
He seems to know that I'm here? Chen Ge was suddenly reminded of something, and he opened the inner compartment of his backpack.
Under the confused gaze of the tattooed man and the smiling face, Chen Ge took out several patient's records, a love letter, a bunch of documents, and finally a flyer with the name 'Society of Strange Tales' printed on it.
"It's because of this!"
The original flyer was dark red in color, and there was a half-open red door on it. Now, the door that symbolized despair and terror had not only been pushed open, but there was an additional hand wrapped in chains poking out from the gap.
The hand reached out from outside the door, gripping the door like it was preparing to push the door open!
"Why would there be such a change? Could this be a sign that he has returned? " Chen Ge had just taken out the flyer, and his brain was still turning to come up with a solution when the hand on the flyer suddenly reached out from the dark red paper!
"Bang!"
Something pushed Chen Ge away. When he recovered, he realized that the hand was gripping Xu Yin's wrist.
The blood melted, and without hesitation, Xu Yin dissolved his whole arm into blood droplets. He gave up on his arm and then folded the flyer.
A faded scent of blood drifted into his nose, and blood vessels crawled out from Xu Yin's body to form a new arm. However, to his surprise, on this new arm, there was still a black and red handprint on the wrist.
Standing at the edge of the building, Xu Yin glanced at the handprint on his wrist. He did not care about it, and his body disappeared.
The sound of static echoed in his ears. The recorder was still running. Xu Yin seemed to be using this method to tell Chen Ge that he was fine.
"You didn't say anything. Do you not know what kind of expression to use to respond to my gratitude?" When Xu Yin put the flyer away, several more loud noises came from the eastern side of Li Wan City. The wave of blood fog was pushed back, and the monster was slowly moving toward Chen Ge.
"The flyer has been tampered with, and the door at my Haunted House has been marked. Looks like Doctor Gao has prepared everything before he died. What is this old fox thinking?"
Chen Ge had confirmed that the person fighting the shadow on the eastern side of Li Wan City was Doctor Gao. After all, he and Doctor Gao were the only ones left in the Society of Strange Tales. Other than himself, the only one who could have left something on the flyer was Doctor Gao.
While Chen Ge was thinking, the blood fog was forced back. The new and old presidents of the Society of Strange Tales met in Li Wan City, and the shadow, who was stuck in the middle, was the first to give in.
