Chapter 202: Three Buildings with Thirteen Floors



Lao Wang nodded, and it took him a long time to recover: "The moment the elevator opened, I was really scared, and my mind went blank."

"What happened next? Did the white shadow attack you?"

"She ran away immediately after seeing me. What I still can't understand is that there was no sound of footsteps when she ran!" Lao Wang's eyes kept glancing at Chen Ge's phone. These were the things he least wanted to recall.

"Are you too nervous and therefore not paying attention to the sound of your footsteps? Normally, even if a person is barefoot, they will make noise when running." Chen Ge was afraid of bringing a deeper psychological trauma to Lao Wang, so he did not dare to tell his true thoughts.

“Maybe.” Lao Wang himself didn’t understand: “When Bai Ying saw me, she turned and ran away. I looked at her and for some reason I wasn’t afraid anymore, so I chased after her.”

"She didn't run far, but I saw her go into the woman's house. When I got there, her door was locked."

"The harassed owner called the police, but when the police pried open the woman's door, they found that there was no one in the house."

"The police later found me, and I couldn't explain the incident clearly. Ever since the white shadow entered the woman's house, I have been guarding her door, but I didn't see her come out."

"The woman didn't come back until the next day. She told the police that she had been staying at a friend's house recently and hadn't been back at all."

Lao Wang said bitterly, "Because of this incident, I was taken to the police station and detained for a night. I told the truth, but no one believed me."

Chen Ge could also understand Lao Wang. A normal person would definitely be in a panic when encountering such a thing. He was also a little nervous when he first encountered the mirror ghost. Later, perhaps because he saw it more often, he gradually got used to it.

"Did you see the face of the white shadow? And are there any noticeable features on her body?" Lao Wang was Chen Ge's breakthrough point. He had gained something just after arriving at Fanghuayuan Community. He was lucky this time.

"I was so scared that I didn't even pay attention to her appearance." The wrinkles on Old Wang's face were squeezed together, making him look much older.

"Fanghuayuan is a pretty good neighborhood in Jiujiang. Didn't your surveillance cameras ever capture Bai Ying's body?" Chen Ge really wanted to take a look at the neighborhood surveillance. Maybe he could find something unexpected in the surveillance footage after midnight.

"When the building was first haunted, the property management company communicated with the owner that they wanted to install surveillance cameras at the corners of each staircase, but the two sides disagreed over the cost of installing surveillance cameras. The property management company wanted the owner to share the cost of the surveillance cameras, and the owner accused the property management company of being irresponsible. Both sides were arguing, and in the end, only one surveillance camera was installed on the floor where the woman was."

"One is enough. Did this surveillance camera capture any strange images?" Chen Ge became more and more curious.

"I don't know if it's a technical problem or something else, but the screen of this surveillance camera often goes black for no apparent reason at night, and then it recovers after a dozen minutes. Now no one can tell why." Lao Wang looked at his phone and said, "I'm telling you the truth. I said the same thing when the police came yesterday. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Anyone could see that Lao Wang was just trying to be perfunctory and didn't want to continue this topic.

"Wait a minute, can you tell me which room that woman used to live in?" Chen Ge stopped in front of Lao Wang.

"I'm not kidding you. We rarely patrol that place now, and the owners of the entire floor have basically moved out." Lao Wang advised earnestly: "The police came to inquire about it yesterday. Before they come up with the results of the investigation, you'd better not go and cause trouble."

After he finished speaking, he walked outside, but his steps were a little unnatural.

When they were almost at the door, Lao Wang waved and called Xiao Gu over. He whispered a few words in Gu Feiyu's ear before leaving with peace of mind.

"I know. Don't worry."

Gu Feiyu sent Lao Wang away and returned to the security booth alone. He saw Chen Ge still standing next to him and rolled his eyes: "Our captain said that we can't let those people who come from unknown places in."

"Do I look like someone who came from nowhere?" Chen Ge approached the security booth and asked, "Is what Lao Wang said true? Have you ever been haunted?"

"I don't know, I'm new here." Gu Feiyu was quite honest. It was much easier to communicate with him than with Lao Wang.

"New here?" Chen Ge's eyes rolled. "They hired you as a night security guard. Did they tell you why the previous night security guard resigned? Do you think it has something to do with the haunting?"

Gu Feiyu was filling out records in the security booth. When he heard Chen Ge's words, he stopped writing and asked, "What do you mean?"

"When did you know about the haunting?"

"The police came to question me yesterday, and I was there when Lao Wang told them what he was saying."

"It seems that you have been kept in the dark before. The property management of this community is too deceptive. You are the only security guard on night shift. Aren't they afraid of accidents?" Chen Ge felt that he was a person with a strong sense of justice, the kind of person who would help others when he saw injustice. "How about this, you have your rules and I won't make it difficult for you. This is my mobile phone number. If you encounter any abnormality or danger while patrolling tonight, you can call me. I will cooperate with your work, and I hope you will not reject my kindness."

"Goodwill? Why don't I see that?" Gu Feiyu muttered a few words and exchanged phone numbers with Chen Ge.

"Remember to call me if you're in danger tonight."

After Chen Ge finished speaking, he walked around to the back door of Fanghua Garden with his bag on his back and walked in as if no one was around.

"The old security guard is a bit timid and refuses to tell me the crazy woman's address. It seems I have to trouble Wang Xin's mother."

Chen Ge walked to the three newly built high-rise buildings. He didn't notice them when he first came here, but this time when he took another look, he made a special discovery.

The three residential buildings are built in a "品" shape, and their layout is the same as the three wards of the rehabilitation center.

Chen Ge came to the entrance of Building No. 3. He did not intend to investigate Building No. 3 specifically, but Wang Xin's family lived here.

"Building 3, 14th floor."

It was already dark when Chen Ge entered the residential building. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the temperature inside the building was much lower than outside.

The first floor was deserted and there was not a single person in sight. Chen Ge stood next to the elevator, watching the constantly changing numbers on the elevator display.

The whole building has twenty-three floors, but there are twenty-four numbers on the elevator. Chen Ge doesn't quite understand what the extra number means.

After the red number on the display screen changed to 13, it paused for more than ten seconds, and then continued to decrease, as if someone entered the elevator on the thirteenth floor.

Not long after, the elevator door opened and a woman in red high heels walked out.

She was dressed very fashionably and had a tall figure, just like a star, and she also wore a mask and a hat.
