Chen Ge re-read the message from Li Zheng. The tone and use of punctuation were indeed different from Li Zheng's usual.
The text message said that the monster created by Jia Ming was good at disguise and voice change, which meant that he could simulate Li Zheng's voice. However, Chen Ge happened to be inconvenient to answer the phone while in the hearse, so he could only ask Li Zheng to use text messages.
Contacting yourself is something the other party probably didn't think of before making the call.
"Is it really Jia Ming who sent me this text message?"
As soon as this idea appeared, it spread in Chen Ge's heart like poisonous weeds, and he broke into a cold sweat.
His finger hovered at the top of the screen. After a long time, Chen Ge sent a message back to Li Zheng: "Don't worry, I will stay at New Century Park tonight and won't go anywhere."
"Well, I just want to inform you that that guy hates you very much. He is now wanted by the whole city and will probably look for you. Just stay in the paradise. I will arrange for someone to go there later.
Squatting near the paradise."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It was our fault to let him escape. There is nothing to be grateful for. You must not run around tonight. Once you leave New World Park, we cannot guarantee your safety."
"Understood." After Chen Ge gave a positive reply, Li Zheng did not send any more messages to Chen Ge, as if his purpose had been achieved.
"It always feels weird." Chen Ge held his cell phone. He no longer cared about the feelings of other passengers and directly dialed Team Yan's number, wanting to ask for confirmation of what Li Zheng said just now.
It was almost early in the morning, and Captain Yan still answered Chen Ge's call, which shows that he attaches great importance to Chen Ge.
From Captain Yan's mouth, Chen Ge learned that Li Zheng did not lie and that Jia Ming did escape.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge still felt that something was wrong: "Is it possible that the shadow ran out of Jia Ming and then attached itself to Li Zheng?"
If this is the case, it will be even more troublesome.
"Jia Ming told a story in the hospital. He saw Shadow and Jiang Long in the villa. At that time, Jiang Long was covered in blood and knelt on the ground. Shadow was standing next to him with a knife. This scene was very interesting and reminded me of Jiang Long.
The neighbor's dog was just killed. Can we infer that the murderer who killed the neighbor's dog was Jiang Long? A real estate developer boss had no reason to kill the dog. It was obviously forced by the shadow. He was slowing down.
Slowly wear down Jiang Long's will. From this point, we can see that there should be certain restrictions on the shadow's desire to possess and control. The weaker the will of the person, the easier it is to succeed."
"Li Zheng is a front-line police officer. It will be very difficult for Shadow to control him, but it is not impossible." Li Zheng's text message reminded Chen Ge that Shadow had escaped and tonight he could not believe anyone: "Xiao Bu
I once said that my life would be in danger next time I go to Liwan Town. Now, as soon as I entered the eastern suburbs, something happened to Jia Ming, who was under police guard. Isn't it a coincidence?"
Chen Ge was about to put away his phone when the screen lit up again. This time it was Fan Cong calling.
"You're quite busy with your business." The doctor looked back and signaled Chen Ge to lower his voice. It would not be good for him to be in the limelight here.
"There are only a few people in my mobile communication. Who knows what happened to them today?" Chen Ge took out his earphones, plugged them in, and connected the phone.
"Boss Chen! I have beaten the game! I know! I finally know!"
"Speak slowly and lower your voice. I can hear you." Chen Ge lowered his voice. The noise he was making was indeed a bit loud.
"I kept trying using the save points you left behind, and found eleven side missions. These eleven missions correspond to eleven murder scenes, representing eleven lives. I explored with all my life and advanced the game step by step.
Finally, all eleven branch lines were opened." Fan Cong's voice was extremely excited.
"Eleven side missions?" Chen Ge had just seen the number eleven on Li Zheng's text message. In order to respond to the police's investigation, Jia Ming told the police eleven stories.
Many scenes in Xiaobu's game are very real, just like they happened in reality.
Chen Ge suspected that the eleven tasks that Fan Cong cleared were the eleven real murder cases that Jia Ming told the police.
"The town in Xiaobu's game is based on Liwan Town. It seems that these eleven murders should all be related to Liwan Town." After Chen Ge thought for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "After completing these eleven side tasks, you
Did you get any tips? Or rewards or something like that?”
"This is exactly what I want to say. After opening up the eleven branches, the computer screen began to bleed. The original gray and black painting style changed again, and all the buildings turned into blood red. The keyboard and mouse failed at the same time, and the game interface
Xiaobu in the game lost control. She stood in the game and waved to me outside the screen. Really, at that moment, I even felt that she would be dragged into the game."
"To get to the point, what happened next?"
"She started to move on her own and entered a certain blood-red building. At this time, a line of red words appeared at the bottom of the screen - Mom may be here." Fan Cong took a sip of water, but his mood was still not calmed down.
"What are the characteristics of that building?" Chen Ge immediately asked.
"The appearance is very ordinary and has no characteristics, but there is a poster of an amusement park on the outer wall of the building. Boss Chen, this is also the most important point I am going to tell you!" Fan Cong took a deep breath: "The one on that poster
The amusement park should be New Century Park, and I found your haunted house there."
"Did you find my haunted house on that poster?" Chen Ge said directly.
"Yes, I don't know what this indicates, but I think the person who made this game may know you. This should be a super easter egg." Fan Cong said excitedly.
"Now the park no longer uses posters for promotion. The exterior decoration of my haunted house has not changed in the past few years. The poster you see may have been left by my parents." Chen Ge's words are only his own.
I understand, he really didn't expect to find clues left by his parents in Xiaobu's game.
After rethinking what Fan Cong said, after completing all the side tasks, Xiaobu entered a special building, and she left a message that her mother might be in this building.
Chen Ge didn't know whether Xiao Bu had found his mother, but he found that his parents had most likely entered that building.
"Did they leave that clue intentionally, or is this poster a trap designed by Shadow?" Because Shadow's ability is so special that he can disguise himself as almost anyone. After a brief thought, Chen Ge suddenly spoke to Fan.
Cong said something: "What brand is your electric car?"
"Ah? Lovebird, what's wrong?" Fan Cong was in high spirits. After staying up for several days, he finally finished the game. He was eager to find someone to share the joy with. He never thought that Chen Ge would ask such a question. He subconsciously
’s answer.
"It's okay." Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Cong should not be pretending to be Shadow. He was telling the truth: "Did anything happen after Xiao Bu entered the red house?"
"I don't know, the game interface is stuck here. I restarted it several times and it's still like this. I think this should be the end of the game. Xiaobu, who is looking for his mother, steps into the depths of nightmares, and ends up in a city where murderers and evil spirits are raging.
, I found the room where my mother might have stayed, and the game ends here, giving people unlimited reverie." Fan Cong has been playing this game for more than a month, and he has already developed feelings, and it seems that he has done all this in person.
Experienced the same thing.
"Do you really think of it as a game? Just watch the computer tonight. If anything goes wrong, call me immediately." Chen Ge felt that many things were crowded together, and he was forced to keep moving forward: "
Please pay attention to your safety, something big may happen in Liwan Town tonight, so don’t leave your home under any circumstances.”
Chen Ge looked at the weird and scary passengers on the 104 bus. These "people" would eventually enter Liwan.
"Don't worry, I will guard Xiao Bu today and report to you immediately if there is any situation." As soon as Fan Cong finished saying this, there was a knock on the phone: "Boss Chen, is there someone knocking on your door?"
"I'm outside, there are no doors around, and the sound is coming from your side." Chen Ge narrowed his eyes: "Don't go there, and don't hang up the phone."
"It's the voice from my side, but it sounds like it's coming from your side?" Fan Cong's voice was no longer excited, but was filled with doubts and uncertainty.
The knocking on the phone became clearer. Chen Ge held his breath in order to hear it more clearly. Fan Cong also held his breath. He was completely frightened.
"Don't mess with me, I'm a good person." The sound of a chair being pushed came from the other side of the phone. Fan Cong seemed to be hiding on the bed, but his doing so had no effect on the knocking on the door.
Chen Ge heard it clearly. The knocking on the door should have started at the living room door, but gradually turned into knocking on the bedroom door. It was as if something had entered his home, and that thing was slowly approaching.
"Don't panic! You turn on the video, then point the camera at the door, and I'll watch it for you." Chen Ge was also worried. He hadn't arrived in Liwan Town yet, so he couldn't help Fan Cong even if he wanted to.
"Okay, okay." Fan Cong's voice stuttered. He fiddled with his phone, and the knock on the door became louder and louder. Before he could turn on the camera, Fan Cong's scream suddenly came from the phone: "Brother! Help!
Me! In the house! He came in!"
The screams were followed by a struggle, and cabinets and chairs seemed to be overturned.
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent, until more than ten seconds later, the knocking on the door suddenly disappeared, and the phone was eerily quiet.
"Fan Cong?"
Chen Ge asked in a low voice, but no one responded on the phone. After a few seconds, the sound of slippers running on the ground came from the phone, followed by Fan Dade's exclamation: "Xiao Cong?! Fan Cong!"
Through Fan Dade's voice, Chen Ge was already sure that something happened to Fan Cong. He shouted into the phone to attract Fan Dade's attention.
"Hello? Boss Chen? Xiao Cong was on the phone with you just now?"
"Is Fan Cong injured? Can he still speak? Can you give him the phone?" Chen Ge was a little worried about the fat otaku.
"He's not in the house! The living room door and the bedroom door are both open. He seemed to have ran out just now!" Fan Dade's words were like a bomb, making Chen Ge's heart tremble.
"No longer in the house?" Chen Ge immediately thought of Shadow: "How could he do something to Fan Cong? How did he find Fan Cong?"
"Did you ask him to go out?" Fan Dade calmed down after receiving Chen Ge's call. In his opinion, this haunted house owner, who is much younger than him, is very reliable. Many problems can be easily solved with his help.
"Something ran into your house just now. It may be a fugitive murderer named Jia Ming. I suggest you call the police immediately and report the truth to the police. In addition, check the places in your home where people can hide. Be sure to protect them before the police come.
Myself." Chen Ge said in a serious tone.
"A fugitive murderer?! Why did he come to my house? How could Xiao Cong provoke him!" Fan Dade panicked and spoke loudly.
"I'll be there soon. All you can do now is call the police and protect yourself."
"Okay, I'll call the police right now."
Fan Dade hung up the phone. Chen Ge looked at the phone screen and slowly clenched his fists.
The other party actually took away Fan Cong while he was on the phone. This time the enemy made Chen Ge feel troubled.
"The approaching knock on the door, is it the shadow himself, or are there other ghosts involved?" Chen Ge put away his phone and held his hands together. He lowered his head and recalled the voice on the phone just now, thinking about it.
His eyes suddenly widened: "It's a bit strange. There was something wrong with the tone of the last words Fan Cong said before he was taken away. It seemed that someone covered his mouth. He struggled to shout out in a very short period of time.
"
Chen Ge took out a pen and paper from his backpack and wrote down the last sentence Fan Cong shouted.
"Brother, save me, he's in the house."
Four incoherent words, at first glance, it sounds like Fan Cong suddenly encountered danger and asked for help from his brother who also lives in the house. But if you think about it differently, if he said "save me" in the second sentence, he was not asking for help from his brother.
The shout was directed at Chen Ge, so the meaning of the entire sentence was completely different.
"Could it be that Fan Cong opened the door and saw his brother standing outside the door, but the brother he saw was different from his usual brother, very abnormal, maybe even holding a knife in his hand. In this case,
He exclaimed, brother, and then called me for help on the phone. It was easy to understand when he came into the house at the end, and the abnormal brother entered the bedroom and took control of him."
The same sentence will have completely different meanings just by changing the person asking for help.
"Did the shadow possess Fan Dade after escaping from the hospital? What happened to Li Zheng and Jia Ming just now?" Chen Ge felt that the hairs on his body were standing on end, and he felt uneasy: "I hope I am overthinking it, right?"
.”
If Fan Dade is possessed by a shadow, then the place where Fan Cong lives must be filled with murderous intent. He has arranged a deadly situation and is waiting for Chen Ge to fall into the trap.
"Do you want to save him?" Chen Ge glanced at the other passengers in the car. He narrowed his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
