A strong smell of blood wafted through the air, and the originally spacious room became crowded for some reason.
The cold light from the computer screen illuminated the surroundings. Lan Xiaochen stood in front of the computer desk, holding an envelope in his hand, and slowly turned around.
"Who's there! Come out!"
Always considering himself to be brave, he shouted towards the living room, but unfortunately the only response he got was the rustling sound of electricity.
In the empty living room, the TV was suddenly turned on, and black and white snow appeared on the screen.
Lan Xiaochen picked up the badminton racket next to the desk and moved slowly towards the living room.
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, but he suddenly felt that this scene was familiar.
Faint crying sounds came from a corner of the room, and the horror movie he had just watched suddenly started playing on the computer.
The scenes that Lan Xiaochen thought were vulgar were played over and over again. When the protagonist was watching a horror movie on the computer, the scenes in the horror movie were happening in his own home.
A familiar conversation came from the computer speakers. The rapid breathing and nervous tone continued to stimulate Lan Xiaochen's brain.
Only when the needle pricked himself did he feel the pain.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he was indeed scared.
"come out!"
A feeling of powerlessness surged into his mind, and Lan Xiaochen shouted towards the living room, as if a louder voice could give him courage.
With his back to the cold light of the computer screen, he moved to the door of the living room and bedroom, and found a bloody handprint on the door handle of his own door, as if someone had opened the door from inside the house.
At this time, the plot of the ghost movie in the computer has reached the most tense moment. The male protagonist finds that the ghost in the ghost movie has run into his house. When he wants to escape from this house, he suddenly finds that the door is locked.
After seeing the bloody handprint on the door handle, Lan Xiaochen immediately realized that someone had run into his house and it was no longer safe.
He moved slowly, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly accelerated.
But when he grabbed the door handle with both hands, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the door.
Fear overwhelmed his reason. He thought he was very brave and often looked down on fans of horror movies online, but now he felt terror for the first time.
"How could it not be opened?"
He shook the door desperately, but it didn't move at all. However, blood began to seep out from the crack!
The protagonist on the computer screen is desperate and takes out his phone to ask the heroine for help.
In reality, Lan Xiaochen also hurriedly took out his mobile phone. He had no friends, so he could only ask the police for help.
The images on the screen are almost synchronized with what is happening in reality, and the results are surprisingly similar.
The call was quickly connected and a strange voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You can't get away."
Blood and pale faces began to appear in the house, and figures in red surrounded Lan Xiaochen, who was already paralyzed by fear.
Lan Xiaochen, who was roaming around and making comments on the Internet, was now trembling, foaming at the corners of his mouth, and calling for his mother unconsciously.
A boy in red dragged Lan Xiaochen to the side. He opened the door and saw a young man with a backpack standing outside.
"He is the source of the curse? Not even the one in red?" The young man entered the house and closed the security door casually: "I was so happy for nothing."
Sitting on the sofa, the young man took out a comic book from his backpack and started flipping through it.
"Wake him up, I have something to ask him."
A basin of blood was poured on Lan Xiaochen's head. He seemed to be thrown into an ice cave. He waved his hands instantly and shouted for help.
"Chen Ge, can't you just ask Zhang Yi to look through his memories? Why bother with all this?" Men Nan covered Lan Xiaochen's mouth. He looked at the white foam on his hands and felt a little sick.
"Zhang Yi's ability is to hide and erase some of his memories. If this guy's memory has been tampered with, Zhang Yi won't be able to tell. In order not to be misled, we'd better be cautious." Chen Ge was more cautious. He wanted to help the young man recall first: "Hey, I'm going to ask you a few questions next. I hope you answer honestly. If I find out that you're lying, I'll let you know how painful it is to live."
His brain became a little clearer, and Lan Xiaochen half-lying on the ground, he nodded with all the remaining strength in his body.
The young man in front of him was a ruthless person just from his tone of voice. Even though Lan Xiaochen seemed to be fearless online, he was a complete coward in real life.
"Who gave you the blank curse letter you took out of the drawer?"
"I stole it from a ward in an abandoned hospital." Lan Xiaochen placed the letter on the ground with trembling hands: "This is yours, right? I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me."
"Do you have the guts to enter an abandoned hospital and steal things?" Chen Ge was very skeptical.
"I made a bet with someone online that we would go to that hospital to spend the night together. I was just kidding, but who knew they would really go to Xinhai? I couldn't hide, so I went to that hospital with them."
"Where is that hospital?"
"The hospital is in the suburbs of Xinhai. It's basically undeveloped and very desolate." Lan Xiaochen's voice was filled with tears. "There are three of them in total, all tourists from Hanjiang. The people there are tough and sturdy. I don't know how they trained themselves, but each one is braver than the other."
"You went in?" Chen Ge didn't expect that tourists from Hanjiang would appear in Xinhai's ghost stories.
"I was the first one to run in, but when I was out of their sight, I hid immediately. After they all entered, I ran out again." Lan Xiaochen has no bottom line. To put it more bluntly, he is a scumbag.
"Did those tourists finally come out?" Chen Ge was more concerned about the safety of the tourists.
"I don't know. I waited outside for half an hour, but there was no movement in the hospital. It was as if the three of them were eaten by something." Lan Xiaochen stuttered. He was still very afraid of Chen Ge. "That place was very scary at night. I didn't dare to stay there for long and escaped back. But I went to check again at noon the next day, and found the wallet of one of the tourists in the corner of the hospital lobby. All the documents in it were gone. There were only three blank medical records and a note."
"Did you call the police afterwards?"
"No, I thought they must have left on their own. It doesn't count as missing, and no bodies have been found. I have no reason to call the police." Lan Xiaochen was trying to convince himself.
"Where are the three blank medical records and the notes now?" Chen Ge's face was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
"I used two medical records, and the last one is in the envelope." Lan Xiaochen shrank his neck and said, "I didn't know at first that this medical record could really curse people. The neighbor's dog kept barking that day, so I just tried it. Unexpectedly, his whole family fell ill, and the dog died."
"You just said that in addition to the three medical records, there was also a note? Take out that note and let me see it."
Lan Xiaochen originally wanted to use the note to negotiate, but he found that he didn't have the courage to speak: "The note is in the locked drawer in the bedroom, and the key is in my pocket."
Men Nan took out the key and entered the bedroom. After a moment he handed the note to Chen Ge.
It was a note, but it was actually a page torn from a book, with dark blood stains on it. If you look closely, you will find that the blood stains are actually a sentence: This is a sick world, why haven't you discovered it yet? I must heal you!
These few simple words seem to contain a special power, which will give the reader a wonderful feeling, as if these words were written for him or her.
"Sick world? I think you should heal yourself first." Chen Ge stared at the words on the paper with his Yin pupil. The more he looked, the weirder it felt. The black bloodstains were clearly layered, as if someone had been writing the same words in blood at the same place over and over again. "It looks like a notification letter, but also like some kind of reminder. Could it be left by a doctor who cursed the hospital? But why would this note be placed together with the three blank medical records?"
Chen Ge had fought with the cursed hospital several times, but this was the first time he saw a blank medical record. This thing was not something that could be picked up casually.
"I've told you everything I know." Lan Xiaochen lowered his voice: "Can you..."
"I can give you a quick death." Chen Ge waved his hand, and Zhang Yi went straight into Lan Xiaochen's head.
A living person crawling into the body through the head, this terrifying scene is already common to Chen Ge. As for whether Lan Xiaochen finds it scary or not, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, when Zhang Yi leaves, some of his memories will be erased.
Ten seconds later, Zhang Yi crawled out of Lan Xiaochen's body, and all the red shadows in the room slowly disappeared.
The TV screen was turned off and everything returned to normal, except that there was one less keyboard warrior in the world and one more young person who loves life.
"Lan Xiaochen didn't lie, but part of his memory is very vague and I can't see it clearly." Zhang Yi followed Chen Ge, and a group of people walked in the shadows of the city.
"Which part?"
"Whether it was his first time or second time entering the hospital, all the scenes were very blurry. It's even possible that he just felt like he was in the hospital, but he actually didn't." Zhang Yi gestured with his hand, "I feel like the other party also has the ability to manipulate memory, and is much more powerful than me."
"There are people in the cursed hospital who can control memories? Looks like I have to find a way to turn you into a red dress first. Half of you in a red dress is not enough to deal with the current situation."
The more special the ghost's ability, the more difficult it is to break through. Chen Ge is very clear about this. He also wants to train Zhang Yi, but unfortunately there is not enough "food".
The evil ghost in Hanjiang was very aware of the situation and was too embarrassed to take action, but it was completely different when he arrived in Xinhai.
"Do you think Lan Xiaochen is a pawn deliberately arranged by the Cursed Hospital? Whether it is Xiaodie's brother receiving a curse letter or the suspected disappearance of tourists in Hanjiang, these two points are very deliberate, as if they are trying to convince me to go and investigate quickly." Chen Ge's brain was working rapidly, thinking about various possibilities.
"I don't know either."
"Go back to your comic book and have a good rest."
Chen Ge collected the comic books from several employees and walked alone on the street.
"Don't be impatient. Both Zhang Yi and Yan Danian are extremely rare special evil spirits. What I need to do most now is to make them wear red clothes." Chen Ge's thoughts were very clear: "Once those special evil spirits around me wear red clothes, they will become a fighting force that cannot be ignored!"
Yan Danian, who is just an evil spirit, has been rated as the strongest under the red clothes by the black phone. If he becomes the red clothes, wouldn’t he be able to walk sideways under the evil spirit?
"I'll find a chance to send Xiao Sun over first, and then we'll take our time and see who dies first."
At around five in the morning, Chen Ge returned to Century Avenue. He was about to go to Nightmare Academy when he suddenly saw someone walking out of the back door of Shilixiang Delicatessen. The man's back looked very similar to Chi Ren.
Carrying a backpack, Chen Ge quietly walked over.
It was just daybreak, and now was the time when the Century Avenue business district had the least people. The guy who slipped out from the back door of Shili Xiang was dragging a suitcase. He looked cautiously to both sides of the road, as if he was hiding from someone.
Chen Ge approached slowly, walking without making any sound. He stared at the man for a long time and finally confirmed that this guy was Chi Ren in the photo of the warehouse management office.
"Were you kicked out?" Chen Ge's voice suddenly rang in the man's ears, frightening him so much that his face turned pale.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the new owner of the haunted house next door. If you have nowhere to go, I can take you in." Before Chen Ge finished speaking, the man did a very strange movement. He covered his mouth with both hands.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Ge blocked the road with his bag. The man shook his head desperately. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and typed a few words on the screen - I don't want to hurt you! Let's go!
"Harm me?" Chen Ge stared at the man with his Yin Pupil for a long time. After he confirmed that the man in front of him was Chi Ren, he looked around.
The two were at the back door of Shilixiang, where there was no surveillance.
"You can't even protect yourself, but you still care about the lives of innocent passers-by. You seem like a trustworthy person." Chen Ge took out the comic book, blood surging behind him, and the light of dawn was swallowed up.
"Red clothes!" Veins popped up on the man's face. He realized the danger, gave up the suitcase, turned around and ran.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to help you."
"I don't need your help!!"
“I help people without ever asking them if they need it.”
Chen Ge grabbed the man's arm and forcibly hooked his shoulder: "Be honest, there are at least five red-clothed people around you, do you think you can run away?"
"Five, five, five?!"
"Don't be nervous, keep breathing normally." Chen Ge helped the man put on his hat, so that the brim just covered most of the man's face.
Crossing the street, Chen Ge brought the man back to Nightmare Academy. After locking the door, he grabbed the man and went straight into the principal's office in the haunted house scene.
"Okay, you are safe now." Chen Ge and the man stood in the principal's office, surrounded by Men Nan and the water ghost in red clothes.
The man didn't dare say a word. He felt that he had failed to escape.
"You just eat Ren?"
"How did you know?" The man nodded cautiously.
"Are you guarding the old warehouse in the Second Hospital?"
"kindness."
"Did you write the note to Dr. Fang?"
"yes."
Chen Ge took out a piece of paper and said, "Write the words on the note again on this paper."
Ten minutes later, Chen Ge finally confirmed that the person in front of him was Chi Ren. It was he who wanted to save Dr. Fang a few days ago, but unfortunately he did not succeed.
"Why would you risk offending the cursed hospital to save Dr. Fang?" Chen Ge wanted to clarify this question.
"Doctor Fang is a very good person, not arrogant at all, and he often helps patients solve various problems. I feel that the phrase 'a doctor with a kind heart' is the best way to describe him." Chi Ren sighed, "How can I watch such a good person die?"
"Then do you still want to save Doctor Fang?" Chen Ge guided the other party little by little.
"Of course." Chi Ren's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again: "But I can't even save myself now, how can I save others?"
"It's okay, I'll help you." Chen Ge smiled and patted Chi Ren's shoulder: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. From today on, we are friends."
