Chapter 297 - Are You a Ghost? (2/2)
“The process is rather complicated.” Chen Ge glanced at Room 304. “I saw the phone number left on the door and called it. Then a man about thirty wearing a black shirt gave me the key.”
“About 30? Black shirt?” the man mumbled before his eyes widened. “He’s returned!”
After saying that, the man rushed upstairs like he was running for his life.
“Hey! Finish your story!” The man was too suspicious, and Chen Ge did not intend to let him slip away. He grabbed the hammer and chased after the man. It was unclear whether the man saw the hammer or just focused on running upstairs. The building was old, and it only had eight floors. When Chen Ge chased the man until the fifth floor, Chen Ge’s phone started to ring.
“Stop!” Chen Ge did not allow himself to get distracted. He rushed until the sixth floor when he finally caught up to the thin man. “Why did you run?”
“The agent was thirty plus! When he died, the white formal shirt that he was wearing was dyed black by blood!” The man was panicking, and the fact that Chen Ge was holding a scary-looking hammer did not help.
It’s like I thought. Looks like the agent I saw was the first tenant. Now the issue is whether the female agent is same or not. Chen Ge’s phone was still ringing, and he pulled it out. The thin man leaned against the railing like he did not want to be close to Chen Ge.
The screen unlocked, and it was the information sent by the agent. The first picture recorded the information on the third tenant, the gambler. Chen Ge swiped the screen to the bottom, and the agent was nice enough to include the gambler’s picture.
“Tired-looking, sunken eyes, and slight of frame!” When he saw the picture, Chen Ge’s body moved faster than his mind. He picked up the hammer and swung at the railing. When he saw the thin man, Chen Ge already had this speculation. No matter what the man did, he only used his right hand and kept his left hand in his pocket. At the time, Chen Ge had suspected that this man had no left hand!
The hammer smashed the railing, and the thin man evaded to the side as his body twisted in unnatural angle. He did not fight back. With a weird smile on his face, he jumped over the railing and disappeared to the third floor.
He’s probably run back to Room 304.
When Chen Ge left the room, he did not take the recorder with him. To prevent further accident, he decided to return to the third floor first. Chen Ge felt better when he was inside Room 305, and he turned on the recorder.
This building sure is interesting. Everyone looks like they’re telling the truth, but everyone is lying. I can’t trust anyone. Chen Ge thought back to his conversation with the thin man. The gambler kept persuading me to leave. Why is that?
After picking up all his stuff, Chen Ge took out his phone and looked at the screen.
The agent only gave me the information on the gambler but not the other two tenants. Did she do that on purpose? What is the connection between these people to the drawer? Chen Ge shook his head. Looks like the Baleful Specter I’ve won this time is rather unique!
He called the agent’s number. He held the hammer in one hand, and his other held his phone to his ear.
“Good evening, the information has been sent to your phone. How can I help you?” The voice on the phone was still very polite, but the time was already close to midnight!
“Yes, I still have one last question to ask.”
“Please, go ahead.”
“I’m sorry, but are you a ghost?”
