Chen Ge looked at the names of his parents on the statue in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.

As the sun rose, Chen Ge put all the red clothes back into the comic book. He stood beside the reservoir holding the two statues.

"I heard Shadow say before that a fetus born from the underworld might use the entire city as its mother."

The water is so deep that you can’t see the bottom at a glance, and no one knows what terrifying things are hidden beneath the clear surface.

"The ghost fetus should also want to have its own parents."

Putting away the two statues, Chen Ge turned and left: "All of Shadow's changes began when he entered the world behind the door. The door in the horror house completely changed him. After the ghost fetus mission is over, I will push open the door and go in to take a look."

After taking a taxi back to New Century Park, Chen Ge put makeup on the employees, then he went into the employee lounge and fell asleep.

He must get enough rest because tonight is the last night.

When the sun rises again, the person who opens his eyes and sees the sunlight may no longer be himself.

The horror house is on the right track and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore. The ghost employees have become accustomed to life here and their "lives" have been extended in another form.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ge was awakened by the alarm. He picked up his backpack and hurriedly left the employee lounge. According to the address on the business card, he came to the old town.

"After going around in circles, I didn't expect to end up here again."

The old town was very large, and Chen Ge had only been to a small part of it before.

He took the business card and asked as he walked, and finally found the woman's workplace next to a very dilapidated residential area.

"Jiuhong Real Estate Agency?"

Half of the words on the advertising sign were missing, and the glass door was wide open, as if there was some kind of malfunction and it couldn't be closed tightly.

There were a lot of advertisements posted on the telephone pole right in front of the door, including marriage proposals, skin disease treatments, and missing person notices.

There were several bicycles parked in a mess next to the electric pole, and one of them had a punctured tire.

The floor tiles at the entrance were laid fairly neatly, but except for the part at the entrance, the tiles on both sides were all cracked, and black dirty water would come out of the cracks when you stepped on them.

As Hanjiang continues to develop, many places in the old city have been renovated, but this place is obviously an exception.

Chen Ge took the business card and looked into the room. An old man was sighing on a worn wooden sofa with a cup of turbid tea in his hand.

There seemed to be someone arguing in the room, and the noise was so loud that even Chen Ge could hear it clearly standing at the door.

"Sister, the place you recommended to me is really not suitable for me. You have to cancel it no matter what I say today!"

"Yes, we are not unreasonable. The question is who would dare to live in a house like that?"

"Check out! Don't make excuses! It's not easy for us too! If you insist on not checking out, we will come here every day to make trouble!"

Several people gathered around the service desk, looking very excited, as if they had been cheated by the real estate agent.

"Uncle, what are they arguing about?" Chen Ge quietly walked into the house without notifying the staff, but sat down next to the uncle in a familiar manner.

"Are you here to rent a house too?"

"Yeah, what else would I be doing here?" Chen Ge looked towards the service desk curiously. The little boy's mother had a bitter expression on her face and kept explaining something to the people around her.

"Don't rent a house here, just leave quickly." The old man reminded in a low voice.

"Why?" Chen Ge asked casually.

"Don't be greedy. The rent here is the cheapest nearby, but..." The old man scratched his head and finally uttered four words: "It's hard to explain."

"Don't tell me to keep half and half. It makes me more and more curious."

"The main thing is that I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, his house is very strange, and all kinds of things always happen there. It was even reported that his family runs a haunted house business." The wrinkles on the old man's face squeezed together: "You know about haunted houses, right? Their boss rents out the house where someone died at a low price, and doesn't tell the tenants. As it happens, the tenant is a ghost story lover, searching for real supernatural stories on the Internet every day. As a result, one night he saw a report on the Internet, and the picture used in the report was his house."

"That's really exciting." Chen Ge found that this old man was quite interesting. He even knew real supernatural stories.

"It's more than just thrilling, he was nearly scared to death. The bed he slept in had a corpse lying on it, and the pool he took a bath in had contained a dead person. Who could bear that?" The old man sighed, with the wrinkles on his face deepening.

"Did the landlord let him check out later?"

"If he had returned the money, it wouldn't have been exposed. The landlord refused to return the money and only agreed to give him another room. The man was also a worker and didn't have much money, so he had to agree. Then the most outrageous thing happened." The old man put down his teacup: "He started moving alone in the afternoon and moved until the evening. After arriving at the new house, he directly started searching online to see if there were any murders related to the new house. The result..."

"What happened?" Chen Ge was also curious. He felt that the tenant couldn't be so "lucky".

"The case in the previous room was murder, and the case in this room was suicide. When you peel open the wall, you'll find hair hidden inside." The old man couldn't continue.

"This is too much. Is the landlord deliberately trying to cheat this tenant?" Chen Ge put down his backpack, leaned against the back of the sofa, and changed to a comfortable posture: "Did the landlord change the tenant's room later?"

"The tenant has been cheated twice, so how can he continue to live here? He must return the money and leave."

"The landlord should give him a refund this time, right?"

"Did you see the tall guy at the back of the house? If the landlord had agreed to give him a refund, he wouldn't have come here to make trouble." The old man smiled bitterly.

"So it's him!" Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to glance at the man. The man had heavy dark circles under his eyes. Although he looked tall, he was a little Yin-deficient and his Yang-fire was not strong.

"He is not the only one who was cheated. The landlord refused to refund the money, so everyone had to unite to seek an explanation. As a result, the landlord disappeared, and the black-hearted boss of the agency also hid from place to place, leaving only one receptionist on duty every day." The old man sighed: "We have come here several times, but they just quibbled and did not give me a solution. Now I am worried every day when I go home."

"I think you can call the police or contact local reporters. This is indeed the agency's fault."

"We have tried all possible methods, but it still doesn't work because each of us has a different reason for checking out. Although we all know that we are not lying, people outside don't think so." The old man's words once again aroused Chen Ge's curiosity.

"Each of you has a different reason for checking out?"

"Yes, for example, I am the oldest tenant here. I can hear the bell every night at twelve o'clock. I have gotten used to it over the years. But recently I found out that all the tenants around me can't hear the bell. I am the only one who can hear it." The old man was helpless: "If you didn't know about this, I would have continued to live here. But now that you know about it, who would dare to live here? And no one would believe this reason if I told them. They would think I was old and confused. It makes me angry when I talk about it!"

The old man stared at the turbid tea and said, "It's not easy to find a place to live that you are used to, but there is no other way. There are fewer and fewer tenants around, and it's getting more and more scary for me to go home at night."

Chen Ge was chatting with the old man, but there was already a big quarrel at the service desk. The little boy's mother kept apologizing. She was just pushed out by the boss to be a shield.

"Master, what are the reasons for them to check out? It's impossible that everyone's house is a haunted house, right?"

"Only the tall guy's rental house is haunted. The reasons for everyone else to check out are similar to mine." The old man whispered, "The couple who quarreled the most were new and lived on the fourth floor. Young people like to stay up late and always go to bed late. One day, they were playing games and the man heard a noise from the window. He thought the window was not closed tightly, so he ran over to check. He found a dark shadow on the fourth floor of the residential building opposite waving at him, as if asking him to come over."

"Dark Shadow? What happened next?"

"He likes playing games so much that he didn't take it seriously at the time. He only found it a little creepy when he thought about it afterwards. The next day, he took the initiative to guard by the window. At about two o'clock in the morning, he saw the dark figure standing on the fourth floor again, waving at him to come over." The old man had a talent for storytelling. His voice was so rhythmic that Chen Ge couldn't help but get involved in the story.

"Has he passed?"

"Who would dare to go there so late at night? He waited until noon the next day to go there, but the people in the building told him that the room was empty and no one had lived there for a long time." The old man lowered his voice and said, "Do you think this matter is over? He stood by the window again on the night he came back. No one in the building opposite waved to him, but his glass window kept making noises in the middle of the night, as if someone was lying outside the building trying to pry open his window."

"Oh my god, that's so scary." Chen Ge covered his chest and said, "Could it be a psychological effect?"

"Who can tell for sure? The key is that we are not the only ones who have encountered strange things." The old man pointed to a student who was filling out documents on the left side of the service desk. "That student always heard a woman whispering upstairs from his house, as if she was talking about something. He thought the sound insulation of the floor was poor and didn't pay much attention to it. A week later, his upstairs neighbor ran down and warned him not to chat with people in the middle of the night. Only then did he realize that the woman's voice was not coming from upstairs, but most likely from somewhere in his house."

"Not necessarily. Both upstairs and downstairs can hear it so clearly. Maybe the woman is hiding in the middle of the floor. Maybe there is a body hidden in the wall?" Chen Ge analyzed it habitually.

"Now that you say that suddenly..." The old man's expression changed: "It's really possible!"

"I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

"How can I not take it to heart?!" The old man stood up and walked towards the service desk. He became more determined to check out.

In order to share the pressure with the boy's mother, Chen Ge also hurried over and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing and be patient. I will help you solve your problems."

To be honest, the little boy's mother didn't have a good impression of Chen Ge at first, but when she was surrounded by a group of people making noise, Chen Ge stepped forward to save the situation, which greatly changed her impression of Chen Ge.

"Who are you?" Many tenants met Chen Ge for the first time. They were very angry and took out their anger directly on Chen Ge.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you solve your problem." Chen Ge stood in front of the crowd with his backpack. "Can you give me one night? There's no point in you continuing to make trouble like this. Why don't you trust me this time?"

Several tenants were also badly cheated by the black-hearted real estate agent. They didn't believe Chen Ge at all: "It's inexplicable. Why should we trust you? You keep dragging it out day by day, and you find all kinds of reasons and excuses to prevaricate. Anyway, you just don't want to solve the problem for us..."

"If I don't solve your problem tonight, I will rent all your houses. I will compensate you for the deposit withheld by the agency, and I will refund you the rent that the landlord refuses to refund you. If you still don't believe it, we can sign a contract now and write it all down in black and white. Whoever breaches the contract will have to pay ten times the compensation." After Chen Ge finished speaking, the entire agency fell silent, and all the tenants who checked out looked at him.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, but before you leave, each of you must tell me word for word about every weird thing you experienced during your rental period." Chen Ge's business is a no-cost business. He can not only gain potential employees, but also help desperate tenants, and obtain the most direct and real information: "Line up, come one by one."

The old man standing nearby wanted to persuade Chen Ge to calm down, but when he saw that all the tenants were excited, he shook his head and said nothing.

What happened to the student and the couple was exactly the same as what the old man had described before.

The focus is on the tall tenant, who is in a very bad mental state. Two bad rental experiences have left him physically and mentally exhausted: "The two houses I rented were haunted houses. The landlord and the agent teamed up to deceive us. If they don't return the rent, I plan to take legal action to protect my rights."

"Is there something you haven't told everyone yet?" Chen Ge always felt that this man's behavior was a little strange, as if he was hiding something.

Being asked this question by Chen Ge suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "I guess you won't believe it if I tell you this, but I dreamed that a dead person spoke."

"Anything can happen in a dream."

"The problem is, when I woke up from the dream, I opened my eyes and saw the dead man lying flat on the ceiling." The man did not seem to tell the other tenants about this. When he said this, everyone felt a chill down their spine.

"Do you still remember what the deceased said to you in your dream?"

"Brother, isn't your focus too weird? You opened your eyes and saw the dead man in your dream lying on the ceiling. Can you still remember what he said?" The man panted, and he felt cold all over when he mentioned this.

"So you've forgotten what they said?" Chen Ge nodded and asked the next question: "Does this happen often? Or does it happen once in a while?"
