The blood-red numbers on the display screen were somewhat dazzling. When 24 lit up, the elevator door opened to both sides.

There were traces of blood that had not yet solidified in the corridor, and new scratches appeared on the walls.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, as if something horrible had just happened here.

Chen Ge took off the butcher knife tied to his calf, held it in his backhand, and hid it in his sleeve.

"Go in and take a look."

Chen Ge felt a chill on his back, but he didn't look back. He knew Zhang Ya was right behind him.

The corridor is very quiet and any sound can be heard clearly.

When he was about one-third of the way there, Chen Ge heard the sound of something being cut.

After taking a few more steps forward, Chen Ge finally confirmed that the voice came from the room where he first saw the bird-beaked man.

"There are ten seats next to the dining table, which may represent the first ten patients. The bird-beaked man is in charge of various sundries. What is his role in the Ghost Story Association?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ge shook his head. There was no need to think about this now. He came here not to investigate anything, but to completely destroy this association of crazy people.

"They are both three-star horror scenes, so Zhang Ya shouldn't be much weaker than them."

Stopping outside the room, Chen Ge looked at the scene inside the security door and couldn't help but frown.

A man who seemed to be wearing a bird-beak mask was squatting in the corner, holding tools in his hands. An old man was lying in front of him, and a mask was thrown next to him.

Chen Ge had seen that mask in the dinner room. Newcomer No. 1 had worn it before.

"What are you doing?" Chen Ge was blocking the door. He suddenly spoke, scaring the man. The bird-beaked man's shoulders could be clearly seen trembling.

The other party did not turn his head, and kept his back to Chen Ge: "Everyone has left, why are you still not leaving?"

"Aren't you guys getting ready to serve the meal? I was away for just a short while and you've already finished eating?" Chen Ge felt a little regretful. No matter what the reason was, today's plan might have to change.

"There was a small problem. One of them received a message from the president and left temporarily." The man with the bird's beak still did not turn around. His upper body seemed to be frozen. He turned his back to Chen Ge and faced the old man on the ground.

"President's message?" Chen Ge noticed something strange about this man and walked into the house: "Can you tell me where they went?"

“I don’t know.” The man paused and added, “I advise you not to come over.”

"There is only one elevator at the end of the corridor, and I have never left the elevator car. Is there any other entrance or exit here?" Chen Ge got a lot of clues from the man's words. Now that the others have left, he can only get information from this bird-mouthed man.

"Someone will tell you this later. You can leave now." The man with the bird's beak moved stiffly, as if he was deliberately not turning his face around.

Chen Ge was not here to discuss anything with him. After the bird-beaked man finished speaking, he not only did not leave, but also took a few steps inside.

"They're all gone, why are you still here? Have you always lived here?" Chen Ge asked questions one after another.

"I'm just responsible for cleaning and cooking."

"Interesting." Chen Ge has always been suspicious of the bird-beaked man. He can stay freely on the 24th floor and be in charge of everything here.

Is it possible that this person is the president?

Maybe the other members lied and the president wasn't actually among them.

Chen Ge wanted to prove this point. If he asked the bird-beaked man, he would definitely not tell the truth, so he decided to use the most direct method.

Regardless of whether he is the president or not, if he disappears forever, he will no longer be the president.

The man with the bird's beak noticed that Chen Ge was still approaching, and suddenly raised his voice: "Newcomer, no matter what you have done outside, when you come here, you'd better follow the rules of the Ghost Story Association."

"The rules of the Ghost Story Association? You just need to tell a story, what else is there?" Chen Ge had already discovered that there was something wrong with this person, and he was even more reluctant to let him leave.

"There is a price to pay for seeing things you shouldn't see. Now that other members have left, there are only you and I on this floor." The man with the bird's beak stood up, and at the same time, there was a sound like water drops falling.

Chen Ge looked at the lower body of the bird-beaked man. His pants were soaked with blood, and dark black blood was dripping down his trouser legs onto the ground.

"I don't understand what you are trying to say. The other members have already left. This should be bad news for you." Chen Ge continued to approach as if he didn't see the blood on the bird-beaked man's pants.

"Yeah?"

The bird-beaked man stepped aside, revealing the old man's terrified body.

"Occasionally, some newcomers disappear inexplicably, and everyone is used to it." He seemed to be talking to himself, but it seemed as if he wanted Chen Ge to hear it on purpose.

After saying this, the man with the bird-beak turned around. Compared with the strange tool in his hand and the blood on his upper body, what attracted more attention was his face.

He wasn't wearing a mask at all!

The protruding mouth that looks like a bird's beak is growing on his face, and the blood vessels unique to the monster behind the door are flowing on his cheeks. This guy may not be a human!

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." The bird-beaked man swung the strange instrument in his hand, making a creaking sound. "I wanted to do this since the first time I saw you, but there were too many people and I didn't find the opportunity. I didn't expect you to dare to find it yourself."

Things were not quite what Chen Ge had expected. At first he thought he was dealing with people.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking." Chen Ge stared at the face of the man with the bird's beak. If the monster behind the door wanted to survive outside the door for a long time, it had to rely on a living person. The monster that wrapped around the entire head of the man with the bird's beak should be a monster he had never seen before.

The relationship between them is the same as that between Xiong Qing and the Slender Shadow. The ghosts behind the door live in living people, and the living people simply control them by satisfying the needs of the ghosts.

"It's likely that all the official members of the Ghost Story Association have ghosts living in them, which is a bit tricky. Could there be red-clothed-level ghosts among them?"

Chen Ge stood there thinking about the problem. The man with the bird's beak thought he was frightened and showed a cruel smile on his face. He liked to appreciate the struggle of the living. This was also a rare pleasure for him here.

Because of this, there are many bloody scratches at the elevator door.

He always drags them into the abyss of despair when they have just the last glimmer of hope.

"The Ghost Story Association is not a place for doing good deeds. If you want to be redeemed, you must pay the corresponding price!"

The man with the bird's beak grabbed the strange tool in his hand and rushed towards Chen Ge. A shrill scream came out of his beak-like mouth.

Then his neck was entangled by black hair, and his whole body was suspended in the air. His legs kicked desperately, blood vessels were oozing out, and his face turned purple.

"What?!"
