Chapter 295 - Disappearing Arm (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

Third Hospital’s Staff Residence looked old and battered. There was not even a guard post. Chen Ge glanced at the rooms on the first floor and realized that none of the rooms there had a room number.

The rental notice only stated Room 304. How am I supposed to find it?

Chen Ge stood at the entrance holding the backpack. He wanted to find someone to ask for direction. Ten minutes later, a high-schooler entered the area on an e-bike.

“Hello, do you mind telling which building Room 304 is in?” Chen Ge spoke when he was quite far away. He did not want to spook the kid.

“Room 304? That sounds familiar.” The high-schooler stopped the bike and pointed toward the residential area. “Should be somewhere inside, I’m not sure.”

“I have another question if you don’t mind. Has any weird stuff happened in this residential area before?” Chen Ge tried to make himself look as friendly as possible. “After all, the Electrical Plant’s Residence is as old as this place, but theirs is livelier and more exciting.”

“I don’t think so…” The kid looked at Chen Ge guardedly, thinking that the man was weird.

“Yawen! Who are you talking to?” A middle-aged woman’s voice came down from the third floor. Chen Ge turned to look and saw a woman in pajamas looking at Chen Ge with caution and waving for the high-schooler to come home.

“Coming.” The high-schooler pushed off and quickly left.

“Wait a minute!” Chen Ge did not want to miss this opportunity. He was there to take the drawer, so he did not want to make things so complicated. He then yelled at the lady upstairs, “Sister, do you know which building has Room 304?”

He shouted that once, but after that, all the lights in the building switched off simultaneously.

“Is it that serious?” Only the middle-aged woman’s home had its lights on.

“Walk down there. The third floor of the first building on your left.” The lady’s face was dark, and when she returned to her own home, the light was turned off as well.

What is with this reaction? Chen Ge did not leave instantly but quietly tailed the high-schooler. The kid, who did not know anything, parked his bike and went up the stairs.

“Mum, what are we having tonight?”

The kid was opening the door when the middle-aged woman could be heard yelling, “Don’t touch the door! Stomp your feet on the ground before coming in!”

“Mum, what are you saying? I just came back from a long study session, and I’m tired.”

“Stop arguing with your mom!” The woman’s voice suddenly turned up like she was incredibly angry. It shocked Chen Ge, who was hiding on the second floor. The kid followed the order unwillingly. Then the woman opened the door, her lips mumbling, “The child doesn’t know anything. Please forgive him…”

She repeated it several times before allowing the kid to enter the room. “Remove your clothes. I’ll wash them for you.”

“But just I changed this morning!”

“No dinner if you don’t change.”

The door on the third floor slowly closed. Chen Ge walked out from the stairwell, thinking to himself, What’s with the people at this place?
