Chapter 297: Are You a Ghost?
Chen Ge hung up the phone and touched the door.
He held the skullcrusher in his right hand and opened the door with his left hand through a crack.
The bright light shines on the dark hallway, and it seems that there are two different worlds inside and outside.
"Who are you looking for?"
In the doorway stood a tall, thin man with sunken eyes and rough skin, looking very haggard.
"I'm here to give you a heads-up." The man kept his distance from the door: "Don't stay here overnight, even if you have to stay in the community, you should never live on this floor." ”
"Why?" Chen Ge was eager to hear what this strange person would say.
"Whatever the reason, just don't spend the night here." He coughed twice, stretched out his right hand from his pocket and covered his mouth, as if afraid of being heard, and squeezed a sentence out of his teeth: "Someone is missing somewhere on this floor." ”
"Missing in the room?" Chen Ge remembered what the agent said, the second tenant was an English teacher who disappeared mysteriously at home.
"Let's go, it's too late if you don't leave." The man seemed to be just out of good intentions and wanted to come over and give Chen Ge a wake-up call.
"How do you know that? Are you a tenant here too? Chen Ge was half exposed outside the door, and his hand holding the skull-crusher hammer was hidden inside the door.
"Well, I live upstairs, and I heard you talking to yourself down there." The tall and thin man was wearing a shabby coat, his hands were in his pockets, he didn't seem to be in good health, and he walked very slowly: "I thought you would leave if you came in to take a look, but who knew that you actually ran into the house, and you looked like you were going to spend the night here, so I thought about coming over to give you a wake-up." ”
"I'm talking to myself?" Chen Ge swallowed his saliva, and it was estimated that he was already panicking if someone else came over: "Have you ever had a similar situation in this building before?" ”
"Yes, but it's all daytime, and it's the first time I've seen you here at night."
"What happened to those people?"
"Some of them are crazy, some of them have become tenants here, but those tenants are not as good as crazy, they either commit suicide or disappear."
"Some are crazy? Some are missing? Different people don't end up the same? ”
"Not really." The man stretched out his right hand and motioned for Chen Ge to come closer, but Chen Ge did not do as he asked.
The tall and thin man had no choice but to take a step forward and whispered: "I heard that crazy people come through regular agents, and become tenants, and the last people who have accidents call the number of the ghost agency." ”
"Ghost intermediary?" Chen Ge remembered the unchanged but polite voice of the girl on the phone: "What is a ghost intermediary?" ”
"This has to start from a few years ago, there was a homicide in room 304 next to you before, and it seems that the person who died was a salesperson of a real estate agency, and the murderer has not been caught until now." The man took a breath and looked upstairs, except for Chen Ge, the rest of the place was pitch black, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
After confirming it repeatedly, the tall and thin man said cautiously: "Since his accident, this house has been idle, but strange things keep happening. People often come here to look at properties and ask them where they saw the rental information, and their answers vary, some say it's online, some say roadside ads, and some tenants themselves forget where they saw it. ”
The tall and thin man paused when he said this, and looked at Chen Ge with a little doubt: "By the way, where did you see the information?" And also...... How did you get the key to the room across from 304? ”
"It's a bit of a twisty process." Chen Ge glanced at the real room 304: "I only dialed the phone number left by the intermediary on the door, and then a man in a black shirt and about thirty years old gave me the key. ”
"What's in your thirties? Black shirts? The tall and thin man muttered again, and suddenly his eyes widened: "He's back again!" ”
After saying this, the tall and thin man strode upstairs, as if frightened.
"Hey! You can make it clear! This tall and thin man was too suspicious, Chen Ge didn't intend to let him go, and chased him out with a skull crusher hammer.
The man didn't know if he had seen the skull-crushing hammer in Singer Chen, and ran straight up with his head stuffed.
An old building like the Family Courtyard of the Third Hospital is only seven or eight floors, which is not very high, and when he chased to the fifth floor, Chen Ge's mobile phone kept vibrating.
"Stop!" Chen Ge was not distracted, chased to the sixth floor in one go, and finally caught up with the tall and thin man: "What are you running?" ”
"The deceased person who started selling was in his thirties! The white shirt he wore when he was dying was soaked in blood, and finally it turned red and black! The tall and thin man was emotional, and he was obviously more "excited" after seeing the skull-crushing hammer in Singer Chen.
"It's similar to what I thought, it seems that I just met the first tenant, and now I need to consider whether there is a problem with the agent." Chen Ge's phone was still vibrating, and he took it out.
At this time, the tall and thin man on the opposite side leaned against the fence, seemingly reluctant to approach him.
The screen flashed, and the intermediary sent the housing information over, the first of which recorded some information about the third tenant gambler, Chen Ge drew to the bottom of the screen, and the intermediary sent him a photo of the gambler before his death.
"Listless, sunken eyes, thin body!" The moment he saw that face, Chen Ge's body reacted one step faster than his thoughts, and he picked up the skull crusher and smashed it against the railing in front of him.
As early as when he saw the tall and thin man, Chen Ge had this guess in his heart, no matter what the man did, he only stretched out his right hand, and his left hand was always in his pocket.
At that time, Chen Ge thought in his heart, did this person not have a left hand at all!
"Bang!" The hammer smashed the guardrail, and the tall and thin man ducked to the side, his body twisting abnormally.
He didn't force himself with Chen Ge, with a strange smile on his face, he jumped over the guardrail and jumped to the next floor, and finally disappeared on the third floor.
"He must have run into room 304."
When Chen Ge left the room, he didn't take the repeater with him, and in order to avoid accidents, he decisively retreated to the third floor first.
Returning to room 305 and turning on the switch of the repeater, Chen Ge felt at ease.
"This building is really interesting, everyone says the same as the truth, but in fact, everyone has a ghost in their hearts, and I can't believe anyone here." Chen Ge recalled his conversation with the tall and thin man: "The gambler kept persuading me to leave, and I don't know if he was giving me psychological hints or really didn't want to see me. ”
After packing up everything, Chen Ge took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen.
"The agent only told me about the gambler, and didn't divulge the information about the first two tenants, did she do it on purpose? What do these people have to do with drawers? Chen Ge shook his head: "The powerful ghost I drew this time is really a bit special!" ”
He dialed the intermediary's number, clutching the skullcrusher in one hand and holding the phone to his ear with the other.
"Hello, the information has been sent to you, is there anything else you need?" The voice of the intermediary on the other side of the phone was still very polite, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening!
"Well, I have one last question I would like to ask."
"You say."
"Excuse me, are you a ghost?"
