"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Doctor Gao was overwhelmed by Men Nan's affairs and could hardly keep up with Chen Ge's pace.
In fact, this is not Dr. Gao’s fault. Only Chen Ge knows the prompt of the black phone, and the most crucial clue of the entire trial mission is the name of the mission - a room for three people.
Chen Ge would not reveal anything about the black phone to anyone else, so he did not explain to Dr. Gao and walked to the door of the rental house alone.
Men Nan kept having the same dream over and over again, and this dream was the most profound scene in his memory - washing his hair. The dream itself was not a nightmare, and Men Nan himself said during the day in the park that he did not feel scared when he had this dream for the first time, but he began to panic when the man got closer and closer.
From this perspective, the real threat to Men Nan is that man.
Men Nan also mentioned this in his description of the dream. He was not hurt while washing his hair, but when the strange man came over, he felt hostile. In his last dream, the strange man walked up to him and grabbed his neck, which was obviously intended to harm him.
Comparing the two, we can find out the problem. Among the three people in the room, except Men Nan, the other two, one wants to protect him and the other wants to harm him.
According to Zhou Gong's Interpretation of Dreams, washing hair in a dream indicates removing dust and dirt. Men Nan's dream might be a reminder to him to take precautions, as danger is slowly approaching!
After learning about Men Nan's past, Chen Ge felt that the person protecting him in the room should be his mother.
His father was away from home all year round, and the mother and son depended on each other, so his mother had absolutely no reason to hurt him.
As for the person who wanted to harm him, he should be the former resident of room 303 in the apartment building.
When he first entered Haiming Apartment, Chen Ge found a red rope tied to the railing of the corridor with a special knot, which was a very traditional way to ward off evil spirits. From that time on, Chen Ge felt that there might really be something dirty in this apartment building.
Combined with the conversation with the sloppy uncle in Room 301 before entering Men Nan's room, as well as the task prompt given by the black phone, Chen Ge became more certain of his guess.
"If you want to know the identity of the man in the dream and completely help Men Nan get rid of the trouble, you must go into room 303 and take a look. Besides, this is the mission of the black phone." The dirty thing in room 303 must not be a good thing if it harms people in the dream. It is very likely to be the same as the monster in the mirror that Chen Ge saw before.
"We have to face those monsters again." People are divided into good and evil, and so are ghosts and monsters. Chen Ge will never show mercy when dealing with these dirty things.
"The uncle in 301 said that after someone died in 303, no tenants moved in. The dirty things left in the apartment building are probably the evil spirits of the deceased." Among the several types of ghosts that Chen Ge had seen, the lowest level was the remnant. This thing was not very powerful, just a remnant of will. A little stronger than the remnant was Xiao Xiao, and a little stronger was the monster in the mirror. He estimated that the strength of the dirty things in the apartment building was about the same as the monster in the mirror.
"I wasn't afraid when I was alone at the beginning. Now that we are together, the yang energy is strong and I don't have to fear ghosts." Chen Ge walked to Men Nan, asked about the room where the landlord lived, opened the door of room 304 and left.
He avoided the pile of debris in the corridor, went to the first floor, and knocked on the door of Room 101.
After a while, a fat woman in her fifties opened the door. She looked Chen Ge up and down and asked, "Want to rent a room?"
"Well, my friend lives in room 304, and I want to rent room 303 next to his."
"303 is not for rent, please change to another room."
"That room is obviously empty, why can't it be rented?" Chen Ge asked.
"There is an empty room on the fourth floor. If you don't want to change, forget it." The woman didn't give Chen Ge a chance to speak and closed the door.
"Is it because she has a bad temper, or did I mention a taboo? It seems that there is something really wrong with Room 303." The landlord would definitely not discuss the death of someone in the apartment building in detail. Chen Ge changed his target and went back to the third floor and knocked on the door of Room 301.
The TV volume was turned down, and the slovenly middle-aged man with a strong smell of alcohol opened the iron door: "Why are you here again?"
"Brother, can you please talk to me for a moment?" Chen Ge took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket.
The middle-aged man grabbed the money and looked at Chen Ge with a more favorable attitude: "What's the matter?"
"I want to know what happened in Room 303. The more details the better."
"303?" The middle-aged man didn't dare to speak in the corridor. He waved at Chen Ge and motioned him to go into the house.
All kinds of things were thrown all over the floor in the narrow rental house, and there was no place to step.
After closing the door, the middle-aged man turned up the volume of the TV and said, "You are quite capable. I cannot harm you just because of your kindness. Take your friend away quickly. Not everyone can live in this place."
"What do you mean? Is there anything taboo about living in this apartment building?"
"Speaking of which, it is actually related to the room 303 next door." The middle-aged man grabbed a bottle of beer from the table, which he had opened at some point, and took a big gulp: "Do you know the name of the person who originally lived in that room?"
"How would I know?" Chen Ge endured the middle-aged man's drunken stink, not knowing whether the other party was drunk and talking nonsense.
"That man's name is Wang Haiming. He built this apartment building."
"But I saw that the landlord was a woman in her fifties."
"That's his ex-wife." The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Ge, signaling him not to interrupt him again. "Wang Haiming made a lot of money, abandoned his ex-wife and married another woman whose background was unclear. A few years later, that woman took away all of Wang Haiming's money and sent him to a mental hospital. In the end, his ex-wife took pity on him and took him out and arranged a room for him, which was Room 303."
"Wang Haiming has been to a mental hospital?" Upon hearing this, Chen Ge remembered the message on the black phone - he was from Ward 3.
"Yes, no matter whether Wang Haiming was really crazy or pretending to be crazy when he went in, after he came out of there, he was indeed different from a normal person."
"Why is it different?" Chen Ge was very curious.
"Let me give you a very simple example." The middle-aged man pointed to his head. "Wang Haiming often banged his head against the wall in the middle of the night. It felt like something had run into his head. He screamed heartbreakingly and quarreled with himself. Sometimes he would not stop even when his head was bleeding. No one could stop him. In the end, we had to trouble the police to come and control him."
