"A person without a shadow?" Anyone who is a human should have a shadow, unless he is not a human, or he is the shadow of someone else and sneaked out.

Chen Ge checked with the old man again; "Did you see it clearly?"

"Yeah." In the old woman's memory, the weirdo looked exactly like Chen Ge. She looked at Chen Ge in front of her and had a very strange feeling: "He was standing outside the door that day. I asked him something, but he didn't answer. He seemed to be muttering someone's name the whole time."

"Name? Can you still remember that name?" In order to dispel the old woman's doubts, Chen Ge took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight attached to it and shone it on himself. His shadow appeared behind him: "Grandma, I do have a shadow. The person you saw only looks similar to me."

"I don't remember it clearly. I'll tell you when I remember it." The old man and Chen Ge exchanged phone numbers.

"Grandma, besides his name, do you remember anything about that man? How long did he stand at the door? After he left, did your building undergo any changes?" Chen Ge was worried that there might be a hidden hand left by a shadow in the building. The other party had a layout throughout the eastern suburbs and had big plans, so he had to be careful when dealing with them.

"After Jia Ming ran out, the man outside the door also disappeared. After he left, nothing was missing from my building, but I always felt like something was missing. I couldn't explain it, as if that person took away something very important." The old lady sighed, hunched over, and walked slowly in the house: "I searched the building and found nothing was missing, but that feeling has not subsided. It's quite uncomfortable."

"I always feel like something is missing?"

"I have said everything I need to say. When you leave, remember to close the door for me." The old lady seemed to have remembered something sad. She stopped talking to Chen Ge and walked out tremblingly.

Chen Ge was about to leave with the old man when someone grabbed his clothes.

Looking back, five crooked fingers grabbed the corner of Chen Ge's clothes, and a female ghost with a twisted and deformed body crawled out from under the coffee table.

"I didn't want to leave..." Chen Ge's eyes swept over the ghost girl and the child. He suddenly remembered something. After he entered the room, he only saw the ghost girl and the child, but not the old man's son: "A family of three had a car accident. The wife and child are here. There is no reason for the husband not to show up."

He thought of what the old woman had just said. After Shadow left, she felt like she was missing something very important.

Could it be that the ghost her son turned into was taken away by the shadow?

Chen Ge decided to give it a try. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "A few years ago, you should have seen that evil ghost who looked similar to me. Can you tell me some information about him?"

Two evil spirits were lying in the distance, staring at Chen Ge, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"If I don't kill him, he will kill me one day. If you have been hurt by him, then he is our common enemy." Chen Ge leaned over and took the initiative to stretch out his hands, wanting to hold the ghost girl's crooked and bloody fingers: "I can help you, and this is not just talk."

When the female ghost realized that Chen Ge was going to shake hands with her, she immediately dodged.

The house became very quiet. After a while, the little boy ran into the bedroom and fished out a tattered schoolbag from under the bed.

He took out a pen and paper and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. The ghost girl's messy hair wrapped around the pen and she wrote crooked words on the piece of waste paper.

"Alive. He is not completely dead. The shadow is only a part of him. My husband stayed behind alone in order to let us leave. He ate my husband. He is getting stronger." Chen Ge read out the words on the paper.

"What does it mean to be alive? The shadow's body is still alive? He is a human? But how can a human eat a ghost?" Chen Ge didn't know what the female ghost's definition of death was. It should be different from medical death. But even so, it was enough to surprise Chen Ge: "The shadow's body can't be considered a ghost, or it is different from ordinary ghosts. This enemy is really unpredictable."

When fighting against the Ghost Story Association, although each member of the association was very mysterious, at least Chen Ge could be sure that they were all alive.

The Ghost Story Association is led by living people, and ghosts are just tools used.

But the mastermind behind the scenes in Dongjiao gave Chen Ge a completely different feeling. He still didn't know whether the other party was a human or a ghost. After reading the handwriting of the ghost witness, Chen Ge became even more confused.

"Is that all the information?"

Chen Ge put down the waste paper in his hand, and the ghost girl's hair wrapped around the pen and continued to write: "When he devoured my husband, he said that every time he died, the resentment in his heart would become stronger, and every time he devoured, he would be closer to that person. One day, he would return to the western suburbs and open that door with his own hands."

The words on the paper did not make much sense, but Chen Ge was horrified when he read them. This passage revealed a lot of information, especially the last sentence, where Shadow actually said that he wanted to push open the door of Xijiao himself.

Chen Ge suspected that the door Shadow wanted to push open was the door in the bathroom of the horror house.

The haunted house is thriving now, but once the door in the bathroom is opened, the situation will immediately change. It can be said that all the efforts he made after obtaining the black phone will be burned to ashes.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

The door in the horror house is Chen Ge's taboo. Whoever dares to get his hands on that door will be the target of a fight to the death. Since this involves the foundation of his existence, there is no room for negotiation.

The ghost girl didn't know what Chen Ge was thinking. She wrote on the edge of the waste paper: "There are ten haunted places in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang. That man ate ghosts from five of them. He was not injured for the first time until he was in the Bailong Cave Tunnel. Shadows only appear at night. He hates light and the sound of children crying."

After writing this, the female ghost looked at Chen Ge deeply, then disappeared into the room with the little boy.

"People in the eastern suburbs are generally superstitious. I have heard of these ten strange stories, but I didn't expect that there are only five left now. But then again, Shadow was first defeated in Bailong Cave. Last night, Jia Ming happened to be unconscious at the entrance of Bailong Cave Tunnel. Could he have fainted there on purpose to lure me into the Bailong Cave Tunnel to investigate, and then kill someone with a borrowed knife?" In Chen Ge's mind, Shadow is an extremely sinister person, and he must consider the worst angle.

"He hates light and the sound of children crying. These two weaknesses can be exploited." Chen Ge stuffed the waste paper on the table into his pocket. When he was about to leave, he remembered that he forgot to ask the other party if he was willing to go with him to a bigger and more comfortable environment.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ge found another piece of paper from the boy's schoolbag and wrote on it with the pen that the female ghost had used just now: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the horror house in the New Century Park in the western suburbs to find me. Think about it carefully. The child is not young anymore. There are many professional teachers and friends of the same age in my haunted house. Sometimes you should also think more about his future."

Putting the piece of paper in the most conspicuous place, Chen Ge turned and walked out of the room.

He walked very quietly, a skill he acquired through many trial missions.

After opening the door and walking to the first floor, the old lady's door suddenly opened.

"Grandma? What's wrong?"

The old man looked at Chen Ge, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he shook his head and went back.

Chen Ge stood outside the door. He could probably guess that the old man might have realized that his relative had not left, but neither side had said it out loud.

"They don't want you to live alone in this lonely world." Turning and walking out of the corridor, Chen Ge took a taxi back to the paradise, and a new day began.
