Chapter 600: 600
The dirty hair swayed with the rhythm of the wind . The sound of bones grinding came from the woman's throat . She moved extremely fast, and while Chen Ge spoke, she was already pressing against him . From the way she reacted, it did not seem like she was in the mood to listen to what Chen Ge had to say .
"I haven't felt this for so long . " Cold sweat kept pouring like he was dancing on the edge of a cliff . Chen Ge leaned against the back of the sofa while gripping the armrests as tight as he could . "I don't mean to offend you . I came here just to find the truth of something that happened here some time ago! There was a tenant in this room who was haunted by an evil spirit several years ago . Back then, you showed up to warn him of the danger that he was in, and if he did not find out the reason why, he would not be long for this world!"
If this was any other person, they would be blubbering by then or screaming mindlessly . But Chen Ge was different . He said everything that he wanted to in the shortest amount of time . The ghost did not press closer, and Chen Ge sighed in relief . He adjusted his posture to be more comfortable, and as he moved his neck, he noticed a boy standing next to him .
The boy's skin was startling ashy, and his spine was snapped, so his head hung around his chest . His eyes moved up and down as he gave Chen Ge a close inspection .
"Is this your son? He's such a little cutie…" Chen Ge peeled his lips back to reveal a smile . He knew that the souls here did not have much impression of Jia Ming, so after a brief hesitation, he quickly added, "That tenant was once my best friend . He told me the best time of his life was spent at this old building . The senior landlady treated him very well, and he treasured this part of his memory . But recently, it seems like he's changed into a completely different person . He keeps rambling on about destroying everything that was good in the world to regain control of himself . Initially, I thought he was just kidding, but reality proved that I was wrong . If I didn't call the police to stop him last night, he would have shown up here with a knife already!"
Stuck between the two ghosts, Chen Ge had no idea what he was talking about, but he knew to push all the blame onto Jia Ming . The ghosts there should have seen the shadow before, so Chen Ge believed that if he kept bringing up the incident from several years ago, it should be enough to jog their memory .
He did not need to spend all of his effort in trying to persuade the spirits—he only needed a chance from them to explain himself and to not come for his life when he was so vulnerable . Then, everything else would be a piece of cake .
"Even now, I can't believe that my dear friend has snapped like that . Therefore, I rushed here to warn the senior landlady about the danger she's in . There's a monster possessing my friend's body that's coming after her!" The more he talked, the more agitated he became, and gradually, that overcame the terror that Chen Ge felt . "The old lady is a kind person, and kindness should not be repaid with harm or vengeance!"
For the spirits in the old building, Jia Ming was nothing more than a passing tenant, but their connection to the old lady was different; she was their family . After saying all that, the boy next to him turned to look at the female ghost . Her expressions kept shifting, so Chen Ge could not tell what she was thinking .
His mind moved, and after combining her previous experience, he came up with three different solutions to resolve the conundrum that he was in . However, just as he was about to put one of them into action, the woman and the boy suddenly retreated to the sides and disappeared .
The door was pushed open, and a seventy or eighty year old granny appeared at the door, holding the key in her gnarled hand . She mumbled, "Qian Qian? Is that you?"
The old lady's face, which was filled with wrinkles, looked around the room with anticipation before falling on Chen Ge, who was sprawled on the sofa .
"Please let me explain!" Chen Ge quickly stood up to walk toward the old lady, but his pant leg was pulled back . He turned to look and saw the boy hiding behind the sofa . He was grapping Chen Ge's leg, and that curious head turned left and right like he was warning Chen Ge from revealing their presence to the old lady .
