Chapter 1186 Returning to the Original Starting Point
"The nurses in the hospital are all surnamed Chi. There may be some connection between them. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Chen Ge looked at the blood stains all over the floor, he didn't even bother to eat, and left the restaurant.
Walking along the path for more than a hundred meters, when Chen Ge looked back, all the lights in the store had been turned off, and the surroundings were pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
"In my opinion, it is an extremely beautiful city, but Chi Longtou said that this city is used to punish the sick, and he mentioned the word 'gate', 'gate' has a special meaning in this city ?"
Chen Ge thought of the door in the bathroom of Zhang Ya's Haunted House. Every time he opened the door of the cubicle, the next time he entered the bathroom, he found that the door would be closed by someone.
In addition, when he was receiving treatment in the hospital, when Dr. Gao pulled him into the brain maze, the key turning point was to push the door.
After pushing the door open, the hospital outside was eerie, and it was like two worlds inside and outside the door.
"Perhaps the exit from this city is a door hidden in the city."
According to the location provided by Zuo Han, Chen Ge finally found the Ping An Apartment at 11:40pm.
It was an almost abandoned old-fashioned apartment building, located behind a deserted village on the western outskirts of Xinhai, in an extremely remote location.
"Why did the writer and Zuo Han ask me to come here? Have they met in advance?"
The leaves rustled, and Chen Ge walked through the abandoned village without even a ghost around.
"I always feel like I've been to this place before." Chen Ge looked at the graves outside the village, and the old pagoda tree at the entrance of the village, crooked like a ghost. Such a terrifying scene did not make any waves in his heart.
"What have I experienced before? Why am I not only not afraid of things that normal people should be afraid of, but even have a sense of intimacy?"
Chen Ge didn't feel that there was something abnormal about him, but he felt that there must be a deep-seated reason for the formation of this mentality.
Arriving at the back of the village, Chen Ge was about to continue walking when he suddenly saw a person squatting on a grave next to him.
He seemed to appear suddenly, but also seemed to be there all the time.
When Chen Ge saw that person, he also saw Chen Ge,
The two sides looked at each other, but neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with it. Neither of them said anything, and they just staggered.
The man continued to squat on the grave, but Chen Ge suddenly realized after walking a few steps that the man squatting on the grave just now looked familiar to him.
When Chen Ge looked back, there was only a single grave left behind him.
"Where are people?"
"In the middle of the night, there is a person squatting on the grave. Why can I easily accept such an abnormal thing? The person squatting on the grave didn't make me feel very bad."
Ever since he made up his mind to come to Ping An Apartment, Chen Ge gradually discovered that the incomprehensible things around him began to increase.
To get to Ping An Apartment, one must pass through a deserted village. After Chen Ge passed a cemetery, a dirt road piled with branches and garbage appeared in front of him.
There is also a sign beside the road with the words "no entry" written on it.
It's just that it has been in disrepair for a long time, the sign is crooked, and the handwriting has become very blurred.
"The apartment is broken down like this, and who are the people who still insist on living in it?"
Walking on the potholed dirt road, Chen Ge looked curiously at both sides. There were wreaths and soul banners hanging on both sides of the road. There were a lot of paper money scattered on the ground. down.
The tree trunk was wrapped with a white cloth, and the tombstones could be vaguely seen in the woods, and the graves were looming, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
If it were an ordinary resident of Xinhai City who came here, he would have already turned around and left by this time.
"The arrangement is so terrifying, it feels as if something is deliberately hidden, and I don't want people to get close."
The small road in front of him seemed to lead directly to the underworld. Chen Ge didn't know how long he walked, but he finally came to the end of the road.
In the depths of the dense forest, there is a dilapidated apartment building with three floors, which is not too high. The windows on the third floor are all sealed by wooden boards, and traces of the fire can still be seen on the walls.
There appears to have been a fire, and the owners may have been short on funds, so only the lower two floors were renovated, leaving the third floor almost intact.
"Ping An Apartment?"
Walking through the small courtyard full of weeds, Chen Ge saw the sign at the door of the apartment building.
This building seems to have had many names before, and the font on the sign has been constantly modified, making it look messy.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Ge unzipped the backpack, reached into the bag, and entered the corridor carefully.
The interior of the apartment was extremely dilapidated, with cracked floor tiles and gaps in the walls, and occasionally black bugs could be seen crawling among them.
"It looks quite small from the outside. I didn't expect that there are so many rooms inside." Chen Ge didn't dare to move casually in the corridor. His eyes scanned the doors one after another, and finally walked towards door 101.
Knocking on the door, Chen Ge stood at the door for a long time but no one opened the door. He lay on the door panel and listened.
The house was quiet, as if no one lived at all.
"what are you doing?"
A man's voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Ge, startling Chen Ge, and he immediately turned to look behind him.
"It's you! The man who squatted on the grave before!" Chen Ge recognized the man behind him.
"This is not the place for you to come, so hurry up and leave before disturbing other tenants." The man was standing a few steps behind Chen Ge, he walked without a sound, Chen Ge had no idea what the other party was It's time.
"It's too late, there is no car to leave now, can I stay here for one night?" Chen Ge stared at the man, remembering his every move in his heart.
"This place is full." The middle-aged man kept urging Chen Ge to leave: "Let's go, even living outside is better than living here."
"Full room? But why do I feel that all the rooms here are unoccupied?"
"No occupant does not mean there are no tenants in the room..." Before the man finished speaking, something seemed to have fallen on the third floor, like a ball rolling on the stairs.
Chen Ge turned his head to look, but the man blocked his sight with his body first.
"Did something fall off just now?"
"A tenant lost her belongings. I'll help her. Stand here and don't move." The man walked towards the corner of the corridor. Chen Ge didn't listen to him, but followed him directly.
At the corner of the stairs, Chen Ge saw a middle-aged man put something on a woman.
"Thank you..." The woman stroked her neck with both hands, and looked at Chen Ge curiously.
The strange thing is that when she saw Chen Ge's face, she couldn't take her eyes away. It wasn't until the middle-aged man coughed several times that the woman realized something and turned to leave.
Being watched by that weird woman, Chen Ge broke out in cold sweat.
Just now he clearly saw the middle-aged man put something on the woman's body, but there was nothing on the woman's hands and body that could make the sound of a ball colliding.
Chen Ge stared at the back of the woman's neck. The other's neck was twisted unnaturally, and her head didn't seem to fit the neck completely.
"You should go." The middle-aged man stood on the stairs, looking down at Chen Ge, his face showed an abnormal iron-blue color, like a corpse in a morgue.
"Actually, I came here to find my friends." Chen Ge didn't want to hide it, this place was too weird, he thought it would be better to tell the truth.
"Your friend can't be here, and the tenant who lives here can't be your friend." The middle-aged man walked up to Chen Ge: "This is the second time you and I have met tonight, and the first time I have met you." Pretend not to see you, I can still pretend not to see you now. Leave now, there will be no third time."
"You kept pretending you didn't see me? What would happen if you saw me?"
"Will be a tenant here and it will be very difficult to leave."
The middle-aged man and Chen Ge were in a stalemate in the corridor. After a while, a door on the second floor near the corridor was opened, and a woman wearing glasses walked out of the room. She happened to see Chen Ge and the middle-aged man.
The woman's gaze also changed when she saw Chen Ge. She seemed to have a good relationship with the middle-aged man, so she walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered in his ear: "Old Zhou, this person has been here before Apartment?"
The middle-aged man called Lao Zhou shook his head: "I'm driving him away."
"If more tenants saw it, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to." After speaking, the woman wearing glasses acted as if she hadn't seen Chen Ge at all, and walked past Chen Ge, walking towards the third floor.
Chen Ge also found that the people in Ping An Apartment had a strange attitude towards him. He guessed that it might be because of Zhang Wenyu and Zuo Han.
"That... Brother Zhou, is there a person named Zuo Han among your tenants here? I am a patient with him." Chen Ge said Zuo Han's name. He intended to know more, but who Knowing that after he finished saying this sentence, the middle-aged man's attitude towards him changed immediately.
"Patient? Which hospital are you from?" Lao Zhou stared at Chen Ge.
"We live in the same ward, and he escaped from the hospital can be said to be related to me."
"Zuo Han hasn't come back yet. If you are his friend, go to his room and wait for him first." Lao Zhou changed his mind when he learned that Chen Ge came out of that hospital, and he personally led Chen Ge to the hospital. At the deepest part of the corridor on the second floor: "Zuo Han lives here, the lock of his room door just happened to be broken, you can go inside and wait for him."
Chen Ge was not polite either, he pushed the door and entered, and saw the blood-stained bandages and gauze all over the floor.
"These are all replaced by Zuo Han. He went out to meet a friend today and hasn't come back yet."
"The friend he went to see was me." Chen Ge pointed to himself.
"Oh? He went to see you, but he didn't come back, but you came here to look for him?" The man called Old Zhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Before he comes back, you'd better not run around. The apartment building is more lively after midnight, so don’t go out of the room no matter what you hear, just plug your ears and sleep.”
The middle-aged man turned and left after speaking, and Chen Ge stayed alone in the room.
The layout of the room is very simple, but Chen Ge feels very familiar.
It feels like I have come to a strange place for the first time, but it seems that I have dreamed here in a dream.
Sitting on the bed, Chen Ge was always clutching his backpack: "I seem to have been to this place before. I don't remember what happened, but it was a very bad thing in my impression."
Chen Ge waited in the room until midnight, but Zuo Han still didn't come back.
Feeling sleepy, Chen Ge rubbed his bloodshot eyes: "It is absolutely impossible for a normal apartment to be opened behind the graves in a deserted village. There must be something wrong here."
If according to the original treatment plan of the hospital, Chen Ge has eliminated the influence of past memories on him at this time, then his current state should be the same as that of an ordinary person who came to the apartment for the first time.
But it is a pity that the appearance of Dr. Sun caused a loophole in the hospital's treatment. Chen Ge knew that he could not fully trust his eyes at any time. He has always maintained a calmness beyond the limits of human beings.
At about two o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge suddenly heard a strange noise from upstairs, as if someone was cutting something with a saw.
He kept in mind what the man surnamed Zhou said, and stayed in the room obediently. The sound of cutting gradually weakened, and the sound of debris falling off the wall and faint screams began to appear above his head. Chen Ge vaguely heard it. The name Zhang Wenyu.
"It must be reasonable for him not to let me go out." Chen Ge still sat on the bed without moving, but a few minutes later, he actually overheard a familiar name from the conversation upstairs——Zhang Jingjiu.
Thinking back carefully, the scream just now was very similar to Zhang Jingjiu's voice.
Chen Ge couldn't sit still anymore, he carried his backpack, slipped out of the room quietly, and came to the third floor of the apartment.
There are traces of burning everywhere, and a large amount of severely damaged furniture and various charred garbage are piled up on the ground.
The sound of dialogue and the sound of sawing things came from the depths of the corridor. Chen Ge moved forward slowly, a faint smell of blood wafted through his nose, and the world in front of him was gradually replaced by blood.
The scorched wall was covered with blood, and in the dark corridor, a few figures could be vaguely seen shaking.
Chen Ge's concentration was high, and there were a lot of debris on the ground, which would make noise if he didn't pay attention.
"What are they doing?" Chen Ge approached slowly. When he walked to the middle of the corridor, he saw the wall at the end of the corridor.
The pupils shrank instantly, and Chen Ge found a doctor in a white coat nailed to the wall in the deepest part of the corridor.
The doctor's coat was stained red with blood, and a patient with twisted limbs lay at his feet.
"Zhang toast?"
Breathing became short of breath, Chen Ge never expected that he would meet the hospital doctor and Zhang Jingjiu here.
"The people in the apartment tied them out? Impossible!"
Chen Ge's brain was running fast, and before he could come up with a result, he suddenly heard a soft sound behind him.
Looking back suddenly, Chen Ge found a child standing behind him.
The child was not tall and thin, but his face had a cunning and maturity that did not match his age.
"My name is Men Nan, big brother, what's your name?"
