Chen Ge's frankness caught the woman on the phone off guard. She never thought that someone would ask such a question.
"Are you a ghost?"
Chen Ge repeated it again, with a calm and natural tone, as if he was asking if you had eaten today?
The woman's breathing became rapid, and she felt inexplicably irritated. Noise began to appear in the microphone, and the signal suddenly became very poor.
"If you don't answer, it's your default."
Chen Ge was holding his cell phone and leaning against the door. People who didn't know better might have thought he was on the phone with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"I..." The woman on the other side of the phone wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate. She couldn't figure out what kind of mentality the other party had to ask such an embarrassing question.
If a normal person finds that he is on the phone with a ghost, shouldn't his first reaction be to scream and throw the phone aside?
Even if you are reluctant to throw away your phone, just hang up the phone with trembling hands!
Why are you not only not afraid, but you even take the initiative to ask?
The woman on the other side of the phone muttered a few words in a low voice, and the call was suddenly interrupted.
Listening to the busy signal coming from the phone, Chen Ge was not surprised: "It seems that he became angry after I found out."
He put away his mobile phone and stood in the dark corridor: "Three tenants in Room 304 have disappeared or been killed. I just met the gambler and the salesman. The woman playing the intermediary is probably the English teacher of the second landlord."
It's not yet midnight, and Chen Ge has already met three different ghosts. He has a hunch that this is just the beginning.
"I don't know what weird guys I will meet after midnight. It seems that I have to change my way of thinking to break the situation." Chen Ge put on his backpack and walked to the door of room 304 with the skull-crushing hammer: "Rather than being led by someone.
It’s better to go directly with your nose.”
The lights in Room 305 were reflected in the dark corridor. Among the entire Third Hospital's Family Court, only Chen Ge's lights were on.
"Most of the residents in the community are concentrated in the first two buildings. The last building seems to be a taboo for them." Chen Ge grabbed the door lock of Room 304 and shook it hard twice. The rust fell off and the door frame trembled slightly.
Perhaps because there have been multiple murders and the police violently opened the lock more than once, there are obvious signs of prying on the edge of the lock.
"Breaking down doors is too rough and not something I like to do, but there is no better way now."
After spotting the location, Chen Ge swung the skull-crushing hammer!
"Bang! Bang!"
After several consecutive blasts, the lock was smashed crookedly. Chen Ge inserted the hammer handle into the crack of the door and forced the door open.
"With such a big commotion, no one in the community dared to say anything. It seems that these ghosts usually play tricks on them."
After entering 304 and turning on the light in the living room, Chen Ge found that the room was very strange.
Furniture such as sofas and dining tables are normal, but everything that can be opened, such as drawers and wardrobes, are all boarded up.
"This looks a bit like a haunted house."
It may be due to aging wiring or poor contact. The lights in the living room flicker on and off, making people instinctively feel uneasy.
Walking to the center of the room, Chen Ge touched the back of the sofa. No one had lived in the room for a long time, but it was spotless, as if someone had been cleaning it.
"Two bedrooms and one living room, the layout is the same as that of Room 305, but the furniture is much shabby."
Chen Ge walked to the shoe cabinet and looked at the wooden boards nailed to it. He was a little curious: "Why are all the cabinets and drawers sealed? Is there something terrible hidden inside?"
Swinging the skull-crushing hammer, Chen Ge smashed open the shoe cabinet. There were a few pairs of shoes thrown inside, but nothing else.
"Is it left behind by the deceased?"
Leather shoes, high heels, and slippers were randomly stuffed inside. Chen Ge tilted the cabinet and poured out the shoes. He was surprised to find that all the shoes had been pierced and scratched with fruit knives.
"Knife marks? Were they made by the tenant?"
Finding no clues from the shoes, Chen Ge looked elsewhere.
The living room is not big. Opposite the one-piece sofa is a TV cabinet. Interestingly, the drawers under the TV cabinet are also nailed with wooden boards.
"The items I extracted are called drawers that cannot be opened. Does that mean that as long as I try all the drawers and take away the one that cannot be opened, it will be fine?"
No one can give Chen Ge the answer, he can only try it himself.
The TV cabinet was at a low position, and Chen Ge had to take a lot of effort to remove the wooden board above it.
"Wow!"
Opening the drawer, a series of video tapes in a black box fell out.
"Video tapes? These are things from many years ago." He found a relatively new one and inserted it into the video recorder under the TV.
Plug in the power and press the switch. The moment the TV starts up, a shadow seems to flash across the screen.
"Is there a shadow flashing in the video? Or was there something running in front of me just now?" Chen Ge has always been vigilant. He knows very well that the gambler who lost his hand finally escaped into Room 304. He
It's probably hiding somewhere in this house now.
The video tape was from many years ago, and the picture quality was very poor. The TV seemed to be defective, with white bars and snowflakes flashing across the screen from time to time.
It was a miracle that something from so many years ago could still be used. Chen Ge didn't pay attention to those details and squatted in front of the TV to watch.
The video tape records the scene in this room. The picture is completely still. The person who recorded the video must have fixed the camera somewhere.
"What is he filming?" After a minute, the TV picture still did not change. Chen Ge was a little impatient to wait. He found the remote control and tried to fast forward.
The first half of the video is normal, but the second half is a little weird.
The second half of the video tape was shot at night, and the scene on the screen is similar to Chen Ge's at this time.
The lights were on in the house, the camera was placed on the TV, and the lens was pointed at the living room, just enough to capture the living room and the doors of several nearby rooms.
"A drawer full of video tapes shows that the person who used the camera was filming his own house for a long time."
Chen Ge vaguely understood the intention of the owner of the house. He must have experienced a supernatural event. In order to prove his thoughts, he wanted to use a camera to capture everything.
"What if curiosity killed the cat? If I found something wrong with this house and didn't move out quickly, I would stay here to die." After Chen Ge finished speaking, he hugged the repeater in his arms and continued to watch the video.
The picture quality was very poor. When Chen Ge fast-forwarded to the end of the video, the unchanged picture suddenly changed.
The originally normal lights in the video began to flicker like in reality, and every time the lights dimmed, the closed bedroom door in the video would open a little.
