At 10 pm, Chen Ge arrived at the block where Doctor Gao’s family stayed. Looking up, he saw one of the windows had their light on, like all the lights in the home had been switched on. Should be that room.
The windows were closed, and there was a woman standing behind the curtain. She looked nervous and kept opening the curtains to look downstairs. “Gao Ru Xue?”
The girl also saw Chen Ge, but she did not show joy or surprise but a face filled with fear like she just saw something scary.
Looks like she’s still under the phone spirit’s influence.
When someone reached the threshold of fear, they would faint—that was the human body’s inherent protective system. However, the fear created by the phone spirit was different. The fear came in levels to slowly tormented the victim, pushing them slowly toward the edge of mental breakdown. Under such circumstances, the victim might be pushed to do something extremely irrational.
“Don’t do anything stupid!” Chen Ge rushed into the corridor and pushed on the elevator button, but the elevator stopped at the 13th floor and refused to budge. Given no other choice, he had to use the stairs. After completing so many missions, compared to logic and bravery, the biggest improvement to his body was his physical condition.
He activated the recorder and grabbed the hammer. He was not afraid of disturbing the other tenants and charged upstairs.
He moved fast!
The voice-activated light came on for each floor as Chen Ge ran to the 13th floor. There was only one anti-theft door that was open on the quiet corridor. “Found it!”
Chen Ge rushed to the door and called Gao Ru Xue’s name. There was no reply coming from within, but he heard Gao Ru Xue’s moan of pain and something being smashed. The girl that was normally calm and collected was like a madwoman. Chen Ge did not dare waste any more time. He used the hammer to smash the inner door open.
The blood vessels on the groove moved, and Chen Ge had no idea how many times he smashed at the door before the lock was smashed away. Chen Ge rushed into the room, and the first thing he saw was Gao Ru Xue leaning out the window.
The scarier thing was that there was a very thin boy sitting on Gao Ru Xue’s head. He hugged her head and used his body to cover her ears, his hands clamped over her eyes.
“Xu Yin!” Chen Ge’s shout echoed through many floors, and all the light in the room was extinguished in that moment. Air seemed to freeze as a bloody shadow charged at Gao Ru Xue!
The boy on top of Gao Ru Xue’s head showed extreme fear when he saw Xu Yin and released his grasp without hesitation and disappeared. Gao Ru Xue, who returned normal, had not recovered when he saw a Red Specter with blood dripping charging at her. She wanted to scream, but there was no voice in her throat. Her arms weakened, and her body fell backward.
“Hold onto me!” The familiar voice appeared again. Gao Ru Xue’s pupils started to focus. The red banshee that she had seen earlier had disappeared, and only Chen Ge was grabbing her arm. The lights went off, and staring at the man in the dark, Gao Ru Xue’s mind started to collect its thought.
With one leg on the windowsill, Chen Ge tried his best to pull Gao Ru Xue up. Looking at the shocked Gao Ru Xue, Chen Ge’s heart was also racing. “Thankfully, the outside door was left open. If that door was locked, I wouldn’t have been able to get in so quickly.”
