Staring at the phone number on his phone, Chen Ge fell into deep thought: "The red-clothed Qiu Mei who can travel between movies and reality is still in the comic book. Did Chang Gu abandon her and run away alone?"
Although Chen Ge and Chang Gu had not been together for a long time, he could feel that Chang Gu was not the timid person.
How could a man who replaced the ghost eye with his own in order to save his sister abandon the red clothes and escape alone?
"Did he encounter something that he couldn't solve? Did my arrival make him feel a sense of crisis?"
He took a taxi to Yongling Mountain Resort. With the experience from last time, Chen Ge climbed over the wall very skillfully this time to enter.
"The clothes that were hung outside to dry last time I came here have not been put away yet, and there has been no change in the surrounding debris. Did Chang Gu leave the same night I left?"
Chen Ge pressed the switch of the recorder and called Xu Yin out. Accompanied by Xu Yin, he entered the resort's Death Cinema for the second time.
The door was not closed, there was a musty smell in the air, and the room was in a mess, as if someone had been rummaging through something here before Chen Ge came.
"There are no footprints on the ground, and there is no dirt brought in from outside on the stage. The videotapes have been flipped, and all the movies in the backstage have been deleted..." Chen Ge observed very carefully. He did not miss any place and checked the entire screening room.
"After I left yesterday, someone else came in! He seemed to be looking for something in the theater, but unfortunately he came back empty-handed."
Chen Ge came to the workroom of the screening room and said, "This place also shows signs of having been rummaged through. The other party kept searching, which means they haven't gotten what they want yet."
To turn on the projection equipment, you need to enter a password on the login page. Only Chang Gu knows this password.
"If Chang Gu was caught by them, there would be no need for them to search here and mess up everything." Chen Ge didn't know who those people who came later were, but he felt that they had been planning to take Chang Gu for a long time, but they had been hiding in the dark. His sudden appearance that night had messed up their arrangements, so they took action immediately after he left.
"The biggest secret of Chang Gu is the left eye he got from Chang Wenyu, and the left eye was brought out by Chang Wenyu from the Psychic Ghost School. Could that group of people's sudden visit also be for the Psychic Ghost School?"
The easiest way to solve these puzzles is to find Chang Gu and ask him in person.
Chen Ge opened the comic book and released Qiu Mei. This special girl in red had confusion in her eyes, just like when she was first taken away.
"Chang Gu is missing. Can you contact him?" Chen Ge asked directly. There were only more than twenty hours left before the deadline of the Psychic Ghost School mission. Every minute and every second was precious now.
Hearing that Chang Gu was missing, Qiu Mei's expression changed instantly. Fine bloodshot appeared on her face, and her empty eyes locked onto Chen Ge, ready to pounce on him.
"Calm down, I'm helping you!"
Before Qiu Mei got close, Xu Yin had already stood in front of Chen Ge, and sticky blood dripped onto the ground. The entire screening room was shrouded in a thin layer of blood.
Fear and anger intertwined, Qiu Mei's mouth opened and a sharp sound came out.
"Don't worry. If I guess correctly, your object should be your left eye or the movie video. Whether it's the video or the left eye, they should be on Chang Gu now. If you carefully feel the location of your object, you should be able to find Chang Gu."
Chen Ge repeated it many times before Qiu Mei finally understood what he meant. She closed her eyes, her body slowly faded, and the bloodshot quickly decreased.
The whole process lasted about a minute. After Qiu Mei opened her eyes again, she rushed directly out of the cinema.
"Quick! Follow her!"
There was no way to communicate, so Chen Ge could only use this method to find Chang Gu.
Qiu Mei quickly left Yongling Mountain Resort. She turned away from the road and moved quickly towards the depths of Yongling Mountain.
After chasing for a full hour, Qiu Mei finally stopped moving. In front of her was a hut where a forest ranger lived.
"Chang Gu is hiding here?"
Chen Ge knocked on the door and whispered, "Chang Gu? I'm Chen Ge, the one who watched the movie with you that night. I'm back with Qiu Mei."
In order to prove himself, Chen Ge let Qiu Mei enter the wooden house first.
After a while, the door opened, and Chang Gu, who was thin and haggard, appeared at the door in ragged clothes: "Come in."
He was holding a hatchet in his hand, and there were many wounds on his arms and legs, probably from being scratched by branches and thorns while escaping.
"What are you doing hiding here? After I left that day, did someone else go to the resort?" Chen Ge looked around the wooden house, which was equipped with various daily necessities and purified water. This should be the escape route that Chang Gu prepared for himself.
Nodding slightly, Chang Gu stood at the door holding a hatchet. He looked very tired, but his face did not show much panic.
"Who are those people? Why did they attack you secretly?" Chen Ge was more curious about this. In the entire Hanjiang, apart from himself, no one should be interested in the "door".
"They are also a group of pitiful people." Chang Gu sighed: "Situations similar to my sister Chang Wenyu are not isolated cases, but Chang Wenyu is the only one who has regained consciousness. Some of their children are still in a coma, and some are no longer alive."
"The person rummaging through things in the screening room is a student's parent? What the hell is going on?"
"There are more than one person who entered the psychic ghost school, but as far as I know, Wen Yu is the only one who was able to wake up after being in a coma, so the parents of those students want to get clues from me." Chang Gu dragged his tired body and sat on the chair: "Their starting point was good, but they used the wrong strength. If they continue to follow the path I explored, they will eventually fall into the abyss together."
He took a sip of the water on the table. "Everything in my film is true. About ten years ago, I found that my sister was very abnormal. It seemed that another soul lived in her body. So I started to investigate. Later, I found that my sister often talked to herself, as if she was talking to someone. Later..."
Chang Gu clenched his fists: "In order to prevent this secret from being leaked, the soul in her body killed everyone in the family..."
Chang Gu couldn't continue talking here. Veins popped out on his forehead. He calmed down for a while. "I was lucky enough to escape, but I never dared to go back to that home again. Until one day I unexpectedly met Qiu Mei. After getting to know her, I found that the evil spirit in Wen Yu's body had already found a substitute. What's more terrifying is that the substitute will look for a substitute by itself. That eye is like a nightmare that keeps repeating."
His voice trembled slightly, and Chang Gu continued to speak after a long time: "Qiu Mei is an exception. Even though she was killed by a substitute and even though she was full of resentment towards many things, she still maintained the most basic humanity. She was not eroded by her left eye and resisted the devil's temptation. The nightmare of reincarnation ended with her. She lived in my sister's body for several years."
"Her kindness gave me a bold idea, which was to try to replace her left eye with my own and use it to find my sister's soul."
"Unfortunately the operation failed and I have problems with both eyes. I can only see special things occasionally. This is my story."
