There were screams and wails everywhere. This was a big purge. The shadow was very decisive at this crucial moment. He would rather kill a thousand innocents than let one go.
After Chen Ge ran out from the building, he soon realized the severity of the situation. The street, the walls, and the surrounding buildings were filled with human-shaped stains.
They attacked everything in sight, be it a living person or a baleful Specter. As long as they were discovered, they would not rest until they were dead.
"Get lost!"
The window of one of the houses to Chen Ge's left was pushed open. Through the anti-theft net, Chen Ge saw a man in pants holding a table lamp and slamming it into the corner of the room.
The door was pushed open silently, and the stain that radiated danger entered the room. It was an old man. He had a hunched back, and his featureless face faced the man. He used a speed that did not match his body to charge at the man by the window.
"F * ck! Don't come any closer! " The man grabbed the ashtray from the window and threw it at the old man, but the glass ashtray passed right through the old man's body. The old man did not slow down at all.
The fear in his eyes was overflowing. He threw everything that he could grab at the old man, but it did not stop the old man at all.
"It was not easy for me to steal this house from a few other madmen." The man had seen many strange things and experienced many unbelievable things during his time in Li Wan City, but he had survived all of them.
He was a madman, and he had been sent to the mental hospital several times by his family. He believed in the existence of God, but different from the other believers, he stubbornly believed that he was God. No matter how much he hurt himself, he could not really die. That was the proof.
"F * ck it! Old man! You're seeking death! " The window was installed with anti-theft nets, so the man could not leave. The house that had given him a sense of security had become a cage that limited his escape. The man picked up the chair next to him and aimed it at the human stain's head and smashed it.
Hitting the head was the most effective way to unleash the power of a blunt weapon, but to the man's surprise, when the chair landed on the stain's head, it felt like it had landed on a puddle of liquid.
The chair passed through the stain, and the man quickly let go, but by then, the old man had already run to his side.
The man ran to the bedside. He saw Chen Ge outside the security net and shouted for help, but it was too late.
The human-shaped stain crawled up his body, stuck to his back, and slowly melted into his body.
The man's skin turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. His hands that gripped the anti-theft net loosened weakly, and another face slowly appeared on his face. It was full of wrinkles, and the skin was dry.
The two faces overlapped. Perhaps due to the pain, the man had lost his mind. He crawled toward the right side of the security net where there was a small gap. This was probably the escape route that he had left for himself. If one did not pay attention, it would be hard to notice. He did not wear a coat probably because he was worried that his coat might get caught in the security net during his escape.
"Save me, save me!"
The man's expression was twisted. Something seemed to have drilled into the bloody light, bulging on his skin before bursting open one by one.
Grayish black blood flowed out of the man's lifeless body. The blood was filled with black and gray granules.
Several seconds later, the granules gathered together and crawled out from behind the man.
The scene before Chen Ge's eyes was incredibly strange. The old man appeared to have gained a new life from this victim. Chen Ge sensed a second emotion from the man — the joy of revenge.
The man's body was stuck in the middle of the security net. The scariest thing was that after the body fell, a small stain appeared at the spot where he died.
This stain had not taken shape yet, but Chen Ge had a feeling that if he did not stop it, in a few years, there would be another human-shaped stain on the windowsill.
"The people who are killed by the stain will turn into the stain as well. This thing is like a contagious disease." The man's death was horrifying, and Chen Ge was even more unwilling to fight these things. "The shadow's trump card sure is scary. After he finishes his' cleaning ', the number of human-shaped stains in Li Wan City will only increase."
Creak, creak, creak …
A strange sound came from behind him. The faceless girl was still following behind Chen Ge. The old man in the room also noticed Chen Ge and chased after him.
"This thing has to have a weakness, but I don't have the time to look for it." Chen Ge wanted to shake off the girl and the old man, but he realized that there were more human-shaped stains ahead of him.
"This is not good." Chen Ge used his Yin Yang Vision to look ahead. The human stains inside all the buildings in Li Wan City were slowly waking up. Many murderers were chased onto the road, and most of them ran in two different directions.
One was the direction where Doctor Gao and the shadow had fought. There were many stains on that road, but it was blocked by the blood fog and chains, so they were temporarily unable to enter.
The other road led to a place that Chen Ge did not know. To not expose himself, he followed behind and mixed in with the group of murderers.
Those who could survive in Li Wan City, no matter how powerful they were, at least they could run fast. When being chased by ghosts, only by running faster than others would they have a higher chance of survival.
Li Wan City was not that big. With the stains chasing after them, the group soon ran through half of Li Wan City. They finally stopped before an old residential building.
The architectural style was the same as it was many years ago, and there was a sliding elevator installed inside.
This kind of elevator was rarely installed inside a residential building; it was mostly used to transport goods.
"Get out of the way!" The elevator could only accommodate a limited number of people, so the earlier they got in, the better. When their lives were threatened, these murderers revealed their true nature.
There was no teamwork in their eyes, and they never considered a win-win situation — they only wanted to survive alone.
The building had nine floors in total, and this was already a very tall building in Li Wan City. Chen Ge scanned it with his Yin Yang Vision, and he also noticed the strangeness of this building.
The other buildings had stains, but this building was dead silent. There were no stains, no ghosts, and there did not seem to be any signs of life.
"How come I feel like this building is scarier than those stains?" The murderer who ran at the front had already rushed into the elevator. He pressed the button very decisively, wishing that the elevator door would close immediately.
"Bang!"
The people at the back noticed that the man was planning to take the elevator to leave alone, so they hurled the weapons in their hands at the elevator. The doors of the old elevator were hollow, and the speed was very slow. The result was that no one would be able to take the elevator to leave.
"I'll take the stairs." Chen Ge had no interest in these murderers. They did not even have the value of becoming his employees. Instead of fighting with them, he might as well go in and take a look himself.
When he reached the stairs, before Chen Ge even entered, when he raised his head to look, he froze where he was like he had been electrocuted.
Next to the only staircase of the building, there was a poster of New Century Park!
The poster was yellowed, and a large part of it was missing, but Chen Ge could still recognize it at first glance because his Haunted House was in the middle of the poster!
Many years ago, when the park first opened, Chen Ge's Haunted House was the attraction of the park. At the time, information did not travel as fast as it did now, so the park had distributed its advertisements and posters to various places in Jiujiang. The visitors who came to visit the park would also be given a beautifully made poster for free.
If it was just the poster, Chen Ge would not have been so excited. At most, he would have been surprised, but he was reminded of something.
On the way there, he had received a call from Fan Cong.
On the phone, Fan Cong had said clearly that he had cleared Xiao Bu's game. The last scene of the game was Xiao Bu entering a building, and the wall of the building had a poster of New Century Park!
"Finally found it!" When Chen Ge had been wandering around Li Wan City, he had been looking for this place, but he had not found it. Now, he had finally gotten his wish.
"Xiao Bu is probably inside this building, and my parents might have left their message inside this building!"
At the underground morgue, after Chen Ge fought with Doctor Gao, Doctor Gao, who was barely controlling himself, had shown Chen Ge a picture.
In the picture, Chen Ge's parents were together with a girl in a red dress, and the girl was Xiao Bu. Therefore, Chen Ge was certain that Xiao Bu knew about his parents, and they had communicated with each other!
The more missions he unlocked, the more Chen Ge realized that the disappearance of his parents was not that simple. It was more complicated than he had imagined.
Every time he thought he was close to the truth, a deeper darkness would be revealed.
Reaching out to touch the edge of the poster, Chen Ge looked at the staircase. He summoned all the Specters and took a few steps into the building.
"It's been sealed?"
Chen Ge had no idea whether it was the shadow's doing or the building itself had been sealed. The staircase was blocked by the bricks, and there was not a single gap left.
"Bang!"
Chen Ge used the hammer to smash at the wall. He realized that the wall was very thick, and it would take a long time to create a path.
"Looks like I'll have to use the elevator."
Xiao Bu was probably hiding inside this building, and it was related to the ultimate secret of Li Wan City and his missing parents. Chen Ge changed his usual friendliness. Holding the hammer, he led Xu Yin toward the elevator.
"If you dare to close the door, I'll break the safety lock that holds the elevator down!"
Standing ten meters away, Chen Ge yelled. His voice was flat, and he did not use any special tone, but even so, the murderers quieted down.
The building itself did not have any human-shaped stains, and the stains outside started to slow down when they got close to the building, but that was all.
This building appeared to be the shadow's second forbidden ground. He realized that after people hid inside the building, they started to make that strange noise like they were calling out names.
Hearing his voice, the stains picked up speed and rushed toward the building.
"If the shadow knows that Xiao Bu is hiding here, why hasn't he made a move to capture Xiao Bu directly? This is Li Wan City, and this is his territory."
The murderers squeezed together. Before Chen Ge arrived, they were already fighting each other due to the weight. No living person was willing to be tossed out, so they created several dead bodies.
After Chen Ge entered, the elevator finally moved, and it started to descend slowly.
"Why is it going down?" The murderer who stood next to the control panel gasped. "I thought I pressed the button to go up!"
"Don't panic. Perhaps there are people underground, and it wants to come up." The elevator was crowded, but even so, there was an empty space around Chen Ge.
The building had two underground floors, and they were all rented out to outsiders who could not afford the rent.
A few years ago, Jiujiang had planned to develop Eastern Jiujiang, and everyone had high hopes for this place. They built factories and buildings, and it attracted a large number of migrant workers like Jia Ming. No one expected Eastern Jiujiang to become like this in a few years.
The elevator moved slowly, and strangely, the elevator that was used to transport goods stopped when it passed the first floor.
There was no one outside, and the man next to the control panel pressed the button to go up several times.
Moments later, the elevator door closed, but it still did not go up. It continued to descend until the door opened on the second floor.
"What's going on?" The man next to the control panel pressed several buttons, but the elevator door refused to close. He tried for a long time before he suddenly screamed, "Why is the elevator showing that it's overweight?"
The display for this kind of old-fashioned elevator was on the control panel. It was very small, and if one did not look closely, one would not be able to see the words at the bottom of the panel.
"Our number hasn't changed, so why is it suddenly overweight? Did someone get on the elevator earlier? " The people in the elevator had all lived in Li Wan City for a while, so they knew the various situations that they might run into here.
The question before them now was whether to stay in the elevator or to leave.
If they stayed in the elevator, the ghost would be beside them.
If they left, there might be more ghosts in the second floor.
"Is there something wrong with the elevator? Why don't any of you go down and try? "someone suggested, but the suggestion was quickly rejected because no one was willing to leave.
Compared to the darker underground, moving up was obviously a better choice — at least, that was how it looked.
Dragging things on like this was not going to help. Chen Ge could not kill all the other murderers, and he was not in the mood to do so, so he walked out of the elevator.
Strangely enough, after he left, the elevator returned to normal.
"What's the meaning of this? Can this elevator measure the weight of ghosts? Are they included in the calculation? "
Seeing Chen Ge leave, the other murderers were afraid that he would change his mind, so they quickly pressed the button and prepared to run online.
This time, the elevator door moved. When the door slowly closed, Chen Ge saw a few more figures standing in the elevator with their backs toward him.
"Good luck."
Chen Ge ran down the second floor with the hammer. He discovered more and more strange things like the well-preserved theme park posters on the wall and some old handmade equipment. These things were all related to his Haunted House.
He ran until he reached the deepest part of the second floor, and Chen Ge stopped before one of the doors.
This door was similar to the other doors, but there were many cigarette butts littering the ground before the door, and this brand was the favorite of Chen Ge's father.
