More than an hour later, the middle-aged man helped the young man from Room 302 back to Haiming Apartment.

The young man had gauze wrapped around his head and his eyes looked a little confused.

"You're finally back." Chen Ge walked out of the living room of 304, holding a tool hammer in his hand: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you a few questions."

The young man looked away and opened the door of his room reluctantly: "Both of you come in."

There was a strong stench in Room 302. Even the unkempt middle-aged man covered his mouth and nose. "How long has it been since you cleaned this room? Is there something smelly?"

Chen Ge also found it strange. The room looked very tidy and the young man was dressed very neatly. He didn't look like someone who was particularly sloppy.

"What I've been going through in the past two months is like a dream." The young man covered his head and walked to the bedside, taking out several black plastic bags from underneath. Inside were the corpses of some small animals. "Really, this is a nightmare that I can't wake up from."

Chen Ge took a look into the bag and turned his gaze back to the young man: "Now that the nightmare is over, you can tell me everything without worry."

The young man threw the bag aside with an apologetic look on his face. "When I first moved into this room three months ago, the landlord told me that I could check out if I wasn't used to it or encountered anything weird. But on the first night I moved in, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that the window couldn't be closed tightly. In the dream, when I went to close the window, I found a man standing in the room next door."

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but after having this dream for a few days in a row, one day I suddenly realized that the man who was supposed to be standing in the next room ran into my house."

"I wanted to resist in my dream, but I couldn't do anything. However, the man didn't hurt me. He just told me that he wanted me to do him a favor."

"After waking up from the dream, I was in a daze all day, and finally decided to hide at a friend's house for the night. But who knew that the man seemed to be obsessed with me. Not only did I dream about him again, but this time he appeared directly next to my bed."

"The man told me that I couldn't escape, and that if I helped him, he would never bother me again. I believed him, and I followed his request, tied up some living animals, and threw them into room 303."

"The animals were still alive when they were first thrown in, but after one night, when we went to check the next day, they were all dead."

"I can't find any wounds on their bodies, and I don't know how those animals died." The young man became more and more scared. "I wanted to get rid of the man in my dream, but who knew that his appetite was getting bigger and bigger. At first, he only wanted a sparrow or a mouse at a time. After just a week, he started asking me to catch stray dogs for him. In the end, he even asked me to lure living people into room 303 after midnight."

"I couldn't do it, so he forced me and threatened to kill me in my dreams. I almost collapsed." The young man's eyes were red and he lowered his head. "I told my friends about it that day, and a few of us bravely entered room 303 at night, but strangely, nothing happened that night. After that, no one believed me anymore and thought I had a mental problem."

"I was desperate. That man was greedy and I could always feel him standing beside me day or night." He became more and more painful as he spoke, grabbing the gauze on his head with both hands. "At that time, I just wanted to get rid of him. Even if I could really trick someone into entering 303, it would be great. Unfortunately, it was too difficult."

It took him a long time to adjust himself, and he continued, "A few days passed like this, and I accidentally saw an advertisement for roommates on the school forum, and you all know what happened next. Men Nan didn't want to live in the dormitory because of his quirks, and he didn't have much living expenses per month, so I recommended Haiming Apartment to him."

"So Men Nan moved into room 304 because of you?" Chen Ge didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

"I reminded him at that time, but he didn't take it seriously just like I did." After saying everything in his heart, he felt better.

"All of this is in the past. Whether or not to pursue the matter will depend on when Men Nan wakes up." Chen Ge took out the rusty key from his pocket. "You must answer the following questions honestly. If you know the answer, then you know it. If you don't know the answer, don't talk nonsense."

"You ask."

"Did you see the face of the man in your dream?"

"I saw it once." The young man hesitated for a long time before speaking: "He has two faces, like two people put together, and they can talk and quarrel with each other."

"Besides asking you to do various things, did they say anything else?" This was a great opportunity to learn about another world, and Chen Ge naturally didn't want to miss it.

"The most they did was to curse each other. One time, one of the faces got really angry and said that if he wasn't afraid of being discovered by the red-clothed man, he would rather die than coexist with a piece of trash."

"Red clothes?" Chen Ge heard a familiar term from the young man's words.

He took out his black cell phone and clicked on the favorability page. Behind Xiaoxiao's name was written "evil ghost", while behind Zhang Ya's name was specially marked "evil ghost in red".

Even though there are only two more words, Zhang Ya has her own exclusive page in the black phone.

Chen Ge fell into deep thought. The monster that Wang Haiming brought out from the third ward knew about the existence of the red-clothed ghost, which meant that there might be a red-clothed ghost in the third ward!

"A ghost of the same level as Zhang Ya."

Chen Ge felt a headache just thinking about it. The first mirror ghost he encountered was killed by Zhang Ya. This shows that ordinary ghosts are powerless when facing red clothes.

He sighed softly and motioned for the young man to continue.

"In addition to the red clothes, I also summarized several of their weaknesses. I wanted to use them when we were all dead." The young man sat on the bed, not disliking the stench in the black bag next to him: "Those monsters rarely appear before midnight. They are afraid of strong light and noisy environments. And most importantly, they seem to be afraid of cats."

"Are you afraid of cats?" Chen Ge suddenly became interested.

"Yes, the man in the dream asked me to prepare many living things, but no stray cats, so I think they might be afraid of cats." What the young man said made sense, but it was just speculation after all, and no one had verified it.

If possible, Chen Ge didn't want to be the first person to verify it: "Should I go back to my own haunted house and try it?"

Seeing that Chen Ge hadn't spoken for a long time, the young man didn't dare to speak either. Instead, the middle-aged man looked confused and listened to the conversation between the two with his eyes wide open.
