Chapter 244 - Things You Shouldnt See (1/2)

The red number on the display was rather eye-catching. When 24 showed up, the elevator door opened. There were wet blood stains in the corridor and many more scratch marks on the walls. There was the smell of blood in the air like something horrible had just happened. Chen Ge removed the cleaver from his calf and hid it inside his sleeve.

“Let’s go in.”

Chen Ge did not turn back to look; based on the chill coming from behind him, he knew Zhang Ya was following. The corridor was silent, and he could hear every sound. When he was a third of the way down the corridor, Chen Ge heard the sound of sawing. He took several more steps forward and confirmed that the sound came out from the room Chen Ge had seen the birdman exit when he first arrived.

There were ten seats around the table. They probably represented the ten initial patients, and the birdman is responsible for the odd jobs. But what exactly is his role in the ghost stories society?

Chen Ge thought about it before shaking his head. There was no need to consider that. He was not there to get to know the society; he was there to ruin it. They’re both from three-star scenarios, so Zhang Ya should be able to hold her own against them.

Standing outside the room, Chen Ge peered through the door, and his brows involuntarily creased. The birdman was squatting in the corner with some tools in his hands. There was an old man lying before him, and a mask was lying to the side. Chen Ge had seen that mask before; new member No. 1 had worn it earlier.

“What are you doing?” Chen Ge blocked the door and suddenly spoke. The birdman jumped at the sudden intruder. The man did not turn around and spoke while facing away from Chen Ge. “Everyone has left; why are you still here?”

“Are you guys serving dinner? I just left for a while, and you’re already done?” Chen Ge had some regret. No matter the reason, the plan that night had to be changed.

“There was a small problem. One of them received a message from the chairperson, and they had to leave.” The birdman still had not turned around. His upper body seemed frozen. He kept his back to Chen Ge and his face to the old man on the floor.

“A message from the chairperson?” Chen Ge thought that the man was acting funny. He walked into the room. “Can you tell me where they have gone?”

“No idea.” The man paused before adding, “I suggest you stay away.”

“There’s only one elevator at the end of the corridor, and I did not leave the elevator. Is there another exit here?” Chen Ge managed to gain many clues from what the man said. Now that everyone had left, this birdman was his sole source of information.

“In the future, people will inform you about that, but now, please leave.” The birdman’s actions were stiff, like he purposely did not want to turn his face around. Chen Ge was not there to discuss things with him. After the birdman said so, he not only did not leave but moved deeper into the room.

“Why didn’t you follow them and leave then? Do you stay here?” Chen Ge kept his questions coming.

“I’m only responsible for cleaning and cooking.”

“Interesting.” Chen Ge had his suspicions regarding the birdman. He could stay at the 24th floor for as long as he wished, and he had access to everything. Could he be the chairperson? Perhaps the chairperson was not one of the other members.

Chen Ge wanted to prove that, but he knew that even if he asked directly, the birdman would not be honest with him. Therefore, he decided to go for the most direct method. Regardless of whether he was the chairperson or not, as long as he disappeared forever, he would not be the chairperson.

The birdman realized that Chen Ge coming close, and he raised his voice. “Newbie, no matter what you’ve done outside, now that you’re here, you’d better follow the rules of the ghost stories society.”
