The third drawer could not be opened no matter how hard Chen Ge pulled it out. He tried to pull out the top two drawers completely, hoping to see what was in the drawer from above.
But what disappointed him was that the middle of the drawer was specially separated by wooden boards and could not be seen at all.
"The house is clean and tidy. I don't want to mess it up. If you can understand me, it's best to come out by yourself."
This was not the first time that Chen Ge threatened ghosts, although he himself didn't know if it would be useful.
He grabbed the edge of the drawer again and used all his strength, but the drawer seemed to be stuck by something.
"Xu Yin!"
Chen Ge called out Xu Yin, one person and one ghost grabbed both sides of the drawer.
As Xu Yin began to exert force, the wound on his body burst open again, and blood slid down his pale arm and dripped on the edge of the drawer.
The drawer that could not be opened at first gradually became loose.
"Try harder!"
Xu Yin has no reservations. He will do whatever Chen Ge asks him to do.
The wounds opened one after another, and the blood dyed his clothes red. Xu Yin's face was ferocious, and his hands were covered with his own blood: "It hurts so much!"
The tightly sealed drawer was finally opened to a finger's width, and Xu Yin's power seemed to be able to affect the contents of the drawer.
Blood flowed out, and Xu Yin pulled the drawer out little by little. When it was opened about half a palm wide, several hands suddenly stretched out from inside the drawer!
There were men and women, and they looked different. They seemed to want to stop Chen Ge from closing the drawer again.
Caught off guard, Chen Ge and Xu Yin both let go of their hands, and the drawer closed again with a bang.
"Why are you doing this?" Chen Ge stopped Xu Yin, who was about to continue opening the drawer, and picked up the skull-crushing hammer: "I do it for your own good, after all, we may work together in the future."
"I hope you will think about it carefully. I could have used violent means to smash the table, or burn everything with fire, and then slowly search among the wreckage. But I did not do that. I am a very kind person at heart. This
You can ask my friends about this."
Chen Ge squatted next to the drawer, not afraid of any weird things coming out of the drawer. He grabbed the drawer handle: "This drawer is my thing, now I just want to get it back."
Using his fingers slowly and hard, Chen Ge tried to pull the drawer: "I won't take what happened tonight to my heart. Although you deceived me over and over again, you didn't really want to kill me. You probably just wanted to scare me away.
.Actually, there is absolutely no need for you to adopt such an approach. I am a more reasonable person. If you have any issues, you can speak out and we can discuss and resolve them together."
After speaking, Chen Ge's free hand raised the skull-crushing hammer: "Just like now, you have nowhere to escape and you will face me sooner or later. It's better to put down your guard and let us have a heart-to-heart talk."
The closed drawer trembled slightly, as if the ghost living inside had a disagreement. After more than ten seconds, the originally closed drawer automatically opened a centimeter outward.
"Yes, he has understanding and can be made into something!"
Chen Ge took out the third drawer and placed it on the table. There were only a few handmade comic booklets.
"Did the artist himself do this?"
The notebook said that no publishing house was willing to publish the cartoonist's works. In his era, physical publishing was the only way out.
"So many ghosts came out of this booklet?" Chen Ge recalled what happened tonight and vaguely understood something. He opened the comic book made by the cartoonist himself.
This artist's painting style is more realistic and looks very strange. It's no wonder that few people are willing to publish his comics. After reading more of his cartoons, you will feel a little faint.
The entire comic is composed of five short stories. The protagonist of the first story is a gambler. He is tall and thin, with sunken eyes. He looks exactly like the tall and thin man Chen Ge has seen before.
The gambler was born in a single-parent family. His father never met and he was raised by his mother.
He didn't receive a good education, he just did nothing all day long, he was a good gambler, and he was still single in his thirties, living at his mother's house.
For him, life has no meaning, it is just living.
But when he was thirty-seven years old, his peaceful life was broken. His mother, who had been taking care of him, became seriously ill, and all the savings his mother had worked hard to save were quickly spent.
His mother wanted to give up treatment, but the gambler didn't agree. He sold everything in the house, and finally only the old house was left.
My mother still needs a lot of money for the operation. Even if the operation is successful, she will not be able to do heavy work in the future.
He thought about it and started borrowing money at usury.
The operation went well, but the money owed had doubled several times. Debt collectors came to the door and forced the gambler to sell his mother's house. The gambler said that he should think about it for one night.
The next day, the debt collector brought people from the notary office to find the gambler. As soon as he opened the door, everyone was frightened.
There was a washbasin placed on the round table, which was full of blood. The gambler's left hand was cut off, and he was standing by the table with a kitchen knife in his right hand.
He said that he had never done anything for his mother. Now that her mother has undergone surgery, she cannot do heavy work. If this house is gone, she will not know where she will live in the future.
Therefore, he will not sell this house. If outsiders insist on snatching it, he will use his own life to pay off the debt.
All the IOUs were signed by him. He rushed out of the room with a kitchen knife. No one dared to stop him. They could only watch as he ran to the eighth floor and jumped down.
The gambler died on the spot, but his severed hand was hidden somewhere.
The protagonist of the second story is an intern English teacher. The old lady landlord rented her the living room and a large bedroom, and she only lived in a small bedroom.
After the old lady's son left, she was in a daze, so the English teacher took care of her as her own mother.
The two gradually became familiar with each other, and everything was moving in the right direction.
The female teacher has to make up lessons for the students at night and comes back late. The old lady will prepare meals in advance and put them on the table. She is old and has poor health, so she usually goes to bed very early.
The female teacher was afraid that she would come back and open and close the door to disturb the old lady's rest, so she would always ask the old lady to close the door when she went to sleep.
One day, the female teacher came back very late. She didn't expect that someone had already been staring at her. As soon as she entered the corridor, someone rushed out and covered her mouth and nose.
She struggled wildly and fought with the murderer in the corridor. The murderer did not expect that she would resist so fiercely. In order to prevent the female teacher from making a sound and attracting other people's attention, the murderer covered her mouth and nose, took out a knife and killed her.
.
Unable to dispose of the body in the corridor, the murderer took the female teacher back to her rented room and disposed of the body.
There was no talking all night, and the old lady found the body in the drawer of the room the next day.
The murderer was arrested five days later, but the old man's illness became more serious. With the help of the community, she was admitted to the hospital.
At this time, a third tenant came into the house, a real estate salesman, who was also the protagonist of the third story in the comic.
