Chapter 234

Looking at Chen Ge’s back, Inspector Lee felt worried . He called for Ah Yong to come in . “I have something to do tonight, so I’ll be leaving now . ”

“Is it related to Chen Ge?”

“Yes, after his parents disappeared, he has managed to keep a cool head no matter what happened . This is the first time I’ve seen him react so harshly to something . ” Inspector Lee placed the file back on his table . “Inform the officers on night shift to not let their guard down . There might be an emergency tonight . ”

“Okay . ”

Inspector Lee changed into his casual clothes and left .

…

After leaving the police station, Chen Ge called a cab to return to New Century Park . He locked himself up in the staff breakroom . The killer who forced Zhang Ya to commit suicide should be searching for the ghost stories society as well . He was last seen at the third building of Fang Hwa Apartments . There’s a high chance that he has entered the 24th floor and found the society .

Chen Ge knew nothing about the society, and the flyer he had only introduced the address .

Zhang Ya’s death happened many years ago, and too much time has passed since then . Even if the police catch Zhu Xiu, it will be difficult to prove his crime . They’ll need concrete evidence . Chen Ge was not a law student and had not done anything related to law, so he was not sure what the punishment would be for a man who forced a girl to commit suicide .

If you make a mistake, you have to face the consequences . Chen Ge took out the flyer . Perhaps I should let Zhang Ya handle this herself . My mission now is to locate that bastard .

The blood red door that was half-open caught Chen Ge’s attention . This was the society’s logo .

Taking the elevator at midnight, repeating at every floor and press the button for the 24th floor will bring me to the ghost stories society .

There were other warnings written at the bottom of the flyer .

“This has to be done at midnight and alone . If other passengers enter the elevator in the middle of the process, you will need to start from the beginning . No matter what you see in the corridors during this process, you cannot step out of the elevator .

“Whether you find the society or not, you have to bring a mask with you . Every member of the society has to hide their real identity, and they are forbidden from revealing their own information or asking about others .

“The last and most important point is, no member is allowed to reveal any information about the ghost stories society, and they cannot let a second person know they’re looking for the society . ”

Chen Ge could satisfy all these requirements .

I can go alone, but they didn’t say I can’t bring the undead with me . Chen Ge took the ballpoint pen and the tape with him . He thought about it and still believed it was not enough .

There is too much of a limitation on Xu Yin’s power . He’ll only be useful when the tape is playing, but it’s too inconvenient to carry a tape recorder .

He walked around the Haunted House and decided to carry Xiaoxiao with him . It’s unclear whether the members of the society are people or ghosts . Carrying Doctor Skull-cracker’s hammer and the cleaver might cause them to be unnecessarily alert .

But it’s better to be careful .

Chen Ge used a piece of string to tie the cleaver that was covered in red cloth around his calf . He decided to give up on the hammer; that thing was too eye-catching . That’s everything I can do for now .

After inspecting all his gadgets, Chen Ge went online to order a thin recorder, but he needed to wait until tomorrow for this order to arrive . Chen Ge took a pen and some paper to jot down everything he needed to pay attention to that night .

At 10:30 pm, his phone finished charging, and Chen Ge left the Haunted House to head for Fang Hwa Apartments .

The night was dark; there was no moon or stars . It was a different world inside and outside the taxi . Chen Ge felt like he was a visitor, passing through a colorful world .

Chen Ge arrived at Fang Hwa Apartments at around 11 pm . His plan had been to sneak through the backdoor, but when he glanced at the security post, his plan changed .

“Gu Feiyu? You’re already back at work?” Chen Ge saw the young man inside the post wearing his security uniform and was surprised . It had only been one or two days since the madwoman captured him, but he was already back at his post .

“Brother Chen, why are you back here?” Gu Feiyu was embarrassed . Facing Chen Ge again, his attitude was completely different .

“Something to do here and came to check up on you . ” Chen Ge smiled . “How are you recovering? Why don’t you take a few days of rest?”

“I came to the city with my uncle . One day of hospitalization costs three days of pay . In fact, it was my uncle and family who helped me pay the medical fees for that night . ” This shamed Gu Feiyu . “I’ve been here for a month already . I haven’t collected any money but keep creating problems for others . ”

“That’s nice of you to think about them . ” Chen Ge took out his phone . “I’ll be leaving for the third block in a minute, and I have a favor to ask of you . ”

“Sure, anything you need . ” Chen Ge had once saved his life, so naturally, Gu Feiyu would not reject .

“Listen closely . ” Chen Ge changed both of their call alerts to the simplest vibration mode . “If you receive my call after midnight, do not pick it up . If I hang up after it rings three times, I need you to do something very simple for me . ”

“What is it?”

“Call the police immediately . ”

Gu Feiyu had more questions but was stopped by Chen Ge . “Just follow my instructions . Remember, do not answer the call, just call the police . ”

“Understood . ” Ever since Gu Feiyu was saved by Chen Ge, he had felt that Chen Ge was destined for something big .

After leaving the security post, Chen Ge entered Fang Hwa Apartments and headed for the third building . The building looked so normal on the surface, but it played host to the ghost stories society .

If I run into anyone else during the process, I’ll have to start over . If this were any other building, the chance of failure would be very high, but this building is different . According to Wang Xin’s adopted mother, none of the tenants use the elevator at night because the place is cursed . Thinking about, the supernatural experiences they had are probably related to the ghost stories society . They probably came across people or ‘ghosts’ looking for the society .

Chen Ge hid inside the stairwell until 11:30 pm . The floor that the elevator was on had not changed, meaning that the elevator was vacated . Perhaps it was the changing of the day, but as the time moved forward, Chen Ge felt the temperature in the building continue to drop .

The temperature inside the building is even lower than outside . Have all the tenants gotten used to this?

At 11:50 pm, Chen Ge exited the stairwell to walk to the elevator . I shouldn’t run into anyone else now .
