Chapter 121 - Sleepwalking? (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

Wang Haiming was possessed by something inside the mental hospital, and the thing followed him out when he exited the hospital. Both parties were constantly fighting over the control of his body. Wang Haiming decided to die rather than compromise.

The man’s weird death and the actions that happened at midnight supported Chen Ge’s speculation.

After Wang Haiming’s death, the thing he carried out with him from the mental hospital probably stayed back in this room. When his body was carried away, there were plenty of police and spectators, so the monster definitely did not show itself. When night came, Room 303 was sealed, and the monster had no chance to go look for a new target.

Normally speaking, the monster should have been trapped inside this room, but it seems like some contract has been formed between the monster and the young man in Room 302 through an unknown method. Having learned the lesson from Wang Haiming, the monster did not attempt a hostile takeover of the man’s body; both parties are in a symbiotic relationship.

Chen Ge looked at the sparrows on the floor. The blood has soaked through most of the fabric, something that is not possible with just these sparrows. The contract was probably made a long time ago.

He was reminded of the words he heard the young man say. He once yelled, “You guys need to stop forcing me,” and the sentence could reveal a lot of information. First, he was forced to do something against his will. Judging from the situation in Room 303, the monster had probably forced him to bring it a living sacrifice.

A few sparrows would not be able to satisfy the monster, so its demand would increase to like stray cats, stray dogs, or even human.

The second point was the young man’s verbiage. During the argument, he used the term “you guys”, plural, so he was probably facing more than one monster. This confused Chen Ge; just what kind of creature had Wang Haiming led out of the mental hospital?

After replacing everything, Chen Ge walked toward the window. Due to the issue of the angle, the young man from Room 302 did not know that he had been found out. He saw Chen Ge’s shadow walk toward the window, and he quickly retreated into his room.

One more individual to look out for tonight. Chen Ge climbed out of the window, and his hands gripped the windowsill. As he was about to turn, the corner of his eyes swept the bathroom of Room 303. Behind the half open door stood a long shadow with two different faces.

“Who’s there‽” Chen Ge’s hands almost slipped. When he focused his eyes, the thing had disappeared. There was nothing in the bathroom, but a shadow seemed to flash across the mirror.

Hanging off the window, it was quite dangerous without safety devices. Chen Ge did not stay and quickly moved back into Room 304.

“Did you find anything?” Doctor Gao asked out of politeness.

“Look at this.” Chen Ge retrieved the key from his pocket. “Doctor Gao, are there any locks at your hospital that require a key like this?”

Doctor Gao accepted the key from Chen Ge and turned it in his hand. The key was slightly larger than a normal key. “It doesn’t look like the key to the office or the surgery room. I’m not so sure.”

Chen Ge put the key away since he could not get an answer from Doctor Gao. He would give it a try when he was ready to enter the Third Sick Hall.

“That’s all you discovered? A key?” Doctor Gao ended the call. He had not known what to expect when Chen Ge climbed out the window, but he definitely had not expected him to return with a key.

“Don’t underestimate this key; it might be the key to what is happening.” Chen Ge glanced into the bedroom. “Has Men Nan fallen asleep?”
