Teacher Wang told Chen Ge about the serial murder case that happened more than 20 years ago, and part of the case details matched the information Chen Ge already knew.

For example, the murderer once drowned the victim in the Donggang Reservoir, or lured the victim into the Bailong Cave Tunnel, and some residents even saw the murderer pushing the victim off a high-rise building.

Because the distance was too far, the witnesses could not see the faces of the deceased clearly. They only knew that all the deceased were young children. They were wearing different clothes, but their body shapes and heights were very similar, as if the same person had been killed several times.

After hearing what Teacher Wang said, Chen Ge's heart was in turmoil. He had seen these scenes before when he was doing the black phone trial mission.

The child who was killed countless times in various ways was exactly him!

Chen Ge pressed his temple with his hand, and veins popped out on his forehead. The fragmented memories in his mind were being reorganized, and he now felt a headache.

"Teacher Wang, are you sure the last deceased's name is Chen Ge? Did you find his body?"

"Although I didn't find his body, I was at the scene when he was killed." Teacher Wang's eyes were filled with guilt and regret, and he clenched his fists tightly. "After investigation and analysis, we have identified three children in Hanjiang whose backs look very similar to the child in the photo. We have concluded that the murderer's next target should be among these three children."

"So you plan your plan around these three children?"

"That's right. We were short of manpower at the time, so I was urgently recruited and assigned to Group 7 by the branch leaders. We were responsible for guarding a private orphanage in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang." Teacher Wang paused for a moment, fearing that Chen Ge didn't understand, and added: "We have three children. One lives in the urban area of ​​Hanjiang and has a very good family background; one lives in the western suburbs of Hanjiang and is the child of a Luo's Real Estate manager; and the last child lives in the Eastern Suburbs Orphanage."

The information of these three children did not match Chen Ge's information at all. He remembered very clearly that he and his parents lived together in Jiangyuan Community in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang at that time.

It was obvious that the three children targeted by the police were not him, so why was the last deceased named Chen Ge?

"I still remember it clearly. The police only told the orphanage's teachers and director the truth of the matter. The children knew nothing and just played as usual and went to sleep."

"After dark, everything was normal until 12 a.m., when the child we were targeting disappeared."

"I don't know how the murderer did it, and I still don't understand it to this day."

"After the child disappeared, I immediately reported it to my superiors, and then went to look for the child with everyone in Group 7."

"Finally, I and Captain Yan, who had just joined the team, found the child in an abandoned building in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang." Teacher Wang's voice was trembling. Many years had passed, but when he recalled it now, it was still difficult for him to control his emotions: "The child was terrified and seriously injured. His eyes were full of desire for life. He asked me and Captain Yan for help. He said his name was Chen Ge and he wanted to see his parents, but just when the child was about to say his parents' names, the murderer came in."

"The child told you in person that his name was Chen Ge?" Chen Ge himself had no memory of this and could not remember anything.

"Every word I tell you now is the truth."

"What happened after the murderer came in?"

"The murderer was wearing a white coat and a devil mask. He seemed to have sprinkled the room with drugs in advance. Captain Yan and I began to feel dazed. He exchanged a few words with the child and then forcibly took him away." Teacher Wang's expression became painful: "If only Captain Yan had decisively fired the gun at that time, it would have been better."

"Did you catch them in the end?" This is what Chen Ge cared about.

"According to the police officers from other teams, they finally surrounded the murderer by the river and saw with their own eyes that the murderer threw the victim's body into the river." Teacher Wang took a deep breath: "The police caught the man in the white coat by the river. Everyone saw him killing people with their own eyes. He is the murderer! But the problem is that there are several suspicious points when they caught him. First, the man in the white coat caught by the police by the river was a madman. He kept saying "Don't come back, don't come back"; second, the white coat on him didn't fit him well. It didn't seem to be his clothes; third, judging from his killing methods, he was extremely unfamiliar. He didn't look like a serial killer at all."

"Transplantation? The real murderer found a madman and deliberately put on a show for you?" In fact, what Chen Ge really wanted to say was that the victim might have also been replaced.

The murderer and the victim that Teacher Wang and Team Yan saw were the real murderer and the young Chen Ge. What the main police force saw at the riverside were all arranged in advance. The murderer was a fake, and the body thrown into the river might not be Chen Ge, but an orphan from the East Suburb Orphanage.

"That's right! You're just as I guessed!" Teacher Wang's eyes became sharp. "Captain Yan and I met the murderer. Although he was wearing a demon mask and we didn't see his face, the cold and creepy temperament he had was completely different from the murderer caught by the police!"

"Did you finally find the body of the child in the East Suburb Orphanage?" Chen Ge asked another question.

Teacher Wang shook his head: "In the entire serial murder case, the bodies of all the victims have not been found."

After hearing what Teacher Wang said, Chen Ge came up with a guess.

The doctors in the cursed hospital tried to kill themselves over and over again more than 20 years ago, but they found that they could not kill themselves no matter what, and finally even attracted the attention of the police.

In order to divert the police's attention, they deliberately staged this drama in front of the police and let the police catch a scapegoat.

The victims and the murderer of this serial murder case are actually still alive in this world, but no one knows about this case except a few people.

The truth will not change with the passage of time, but it will be concealed by time.

"Have you found out the information about the previous victims?" Chen Ge leaned against the street lamp with his head lowered.

"No information was found, and no bodies were found. Even the hair and blood were cleaned up by the murderer. Nothing was left." Teacher Wang's face was solemn. "I can tell you with certainty that this is a serial murder case. However, when the Hanjiang City Branch closed the case 20 years ago, because the bodies of the victims were not found, the case was finally classified as a vicious homicide."

"What's the difference?"

"It's a huge difference, but it doesn't make any sense to talk about it now."

In a strange city, Teacher Wang and Chen Ge stood beside the road. People were coming and going around them, living their own lives, and no one cared about what they were talking about.

"You came to Xinhai just to reinvestigate this case?"

"Yes, the white coat the murderer wore is exactly the same as the uniform of a private hospital in Xinhai. In addition, Captain Yan and I have heard the voice of the real murderer, and he speaks with a slight Xinhai local accent."

"Do you remember what the murderer said at the time?"

"I forgot. The feeling of having a memory gap is very uncomfortable." Teacher Wang glanced at Chen Ge and didn't say anything else.

In fact, he had that feeling again after visiting Chen Ge's haunted house, so he recorded all the details in his notebook after waking up.

This is not to say that he suspected Chen Ge was the murderer. He just felt that Chen Ge was not an ordinary haunted house owner. This was one of the reasons why he wanted to cooperate with Chen Ge now.

"What's the name of the private hospital you mentioned? Where is it exactly?" Teacher Wang was a witness to a serial murder case more than 20 years ago. Chen Ge happened to have lost some of his memory of that time. Just based on this, Chen Ge was ready to help Teacher Wang.

"That abandoned hospital is at the junction of Xinhai and Hanjiang. It has been called many names, the most popular of which is Xinhai Central Hospital." Teacher Wang hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Ge sincerely: "I am limited in my ability and cannot handle most situations. If you have time tonight, can you go with me?"

"Just the two of us?"

"And Old Wu." Teacher Wang was determined to go, but Chen Ge knew that the three of them alone were far from enough.

"Teacher Wang, if you are willing to believe me, we'd better wait a few more days." Chen Ge would not tell Teacher Wang about his secrets. He had already thought of an excuse: "The Xinhai Archway collapsed the night before yesterday, and the police found the dead there. This case is related to the case a year ago."

"I know the Xinhai police are very busy, so I can understand why they don't help me."

"No, what I want to say is that the case is also related to the hospital you just told me about." Chen Ge said seriously: "These three cases are all related to that hospital. The Xinhai police will realize this sooner or later. Then we can go in together."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Soon." Chen Ge didn't know when the Xinhai police would find the cursed hospital. For now, he could only say: "You've been waiting for twenty years, so a few days shouldn't be a big deal. Let's exchange contact information. When the time comes, I'll notify you as soon as possible."

"Okay." Teacher Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if the Xinhai police could investigate with him.

"Teacher Wang, let me tell you one last thing. Don't go investigating alone. If you can't explain it clearly over the phone, you can find me at the Nightmare Academy haunted house on Xinhai Century Avenue." Chen Ge showed a reassuring smile on his face: "That place is also my property, it's very safe."

"Thank you." Teacher Wang stared at Chen Ge and wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.

After Teacher Wang left, the smile on Chen Ge's face disappeared.

"Why don't I have any impression of this?"

What Teacher Wang said was able to prove from the side that Chen Ge was indeed killed when he was a child. This was not an illusion created by the ghost fetus, but a real thing that happened.

The things that Chen Ge had been avoiding were now laid out in the open. He could no longer avoid them and had to face them head on.

"The child who was killed over and over again should be me. All the information matches, and the person who killed me is the hospital of the cursed hospital. What role did my parents play in this whole process? Why didn't they stop it?"

Chen Ge grabbed his hair fiercely. This feeling of not being able to remember something that had clearly happened was extremely painful. "My parents have always treated me very well. It was this family that taught me what happiness, warmth, and love are. How could such parents sit back and watch me get killed over and over again?"

"Perhaps the person the doctor killed was not the real me? But something in me? For example, a collection of evil thoughts in me?" Chen Ge took out his black mobile phone and carefully looked through the trial tasks he had done before.

"After I got the black phone, the first nightmare-level task I did was to stand in front of a mirror with my eyes closed. It was at midnight. I was a human outside the mirror, and I was a ghost inside the mirror. One was kind and timid, and the other was cruel and terrifying. Could this task be trying to give me a hint through the mirror ghost?"

Chen Ge still remembers the description of that nightmare mission - I believe you must still be curious about whether there are ghosts in the world. Let's play a little game. The truth will be revealed the moment you open your eyes.

"The mirror is the main prop. If I had opened my eyes at that time, would I have seen myself in the mirror?"

"The horror house is officially open for business. The first special visitor I met was Fan Yu. This kid is lonely and isolated in reality, and has been looking for heaven. In the bloody world behind the door, another Fan Yu became a painter. He carried the curse and obsession of the entire ghost school and built a paradise in hell!"

"Fan Yu and the painter, one represents the people, the other bears all the sins; one lives outside the door, the other enters the door."

"Fan Yu is the key figure in the opening of Muyang Middle School, and Muyang Middle School is also the first two-star horror scene I have experienced."

"The character who opens the third ward of the three-star trial mission is Men Nan. Men Nan's situation is the same! He was born in a mental hospital. All his misfortunes and pains turned into Men Nan in red. His real body became a student of Dr. Gao and lived a life like a normal person."

Thinking about it now is really terrifying. Dr. Gao is the president of the Ghost Story Association. Men Nan in red was imprisoned by him behind the door of the third ward, and Men Nan's real body became his most proud student.

Doctor Gao might know more than Chen Ge expected. He had been conducting some kind of experiment with a purpose from the beginning, and Men Nan was his test subject!

"There's no need to say more about the four-star trial mission, the ghost fetus. Shadow escaped from me. According to the information I have now, he endured some of my pain and despair, desperately craving for happiness and beauty, and it was this part of emotion that turned into the seed of the ghost fetus."

Holding the black phone, Chen Ge's face turned pale, and he finally realized it.

Since obtaining the black phone, every key trial mission has been revealing a message to him.

Behind one person's happiness, another person bears all the sins and despair.

"Is there really another me behind the door?"

Chen Ge looked at the black phone in his palm, at the messages that came in, and at his own figure on the cold screen.

"I think I understand."
