The street lamp pulled Chen Ge's shadow very long, and there was no one on the street. Occasionally, a stray cat could be seen running past the trash can, making a rustling sound.
"In the back of the bustling and bustling city, there is actually such a quiet neighborhood." Chen Ge walked through the middle of the dark buildings and walked along the narrow cement road to the deepest part of the residential area.
There is a faint odor in the air. The trash cans on the roadside have not been cleaned for a long time. Various domestic garbage in plastic bags are piled up together, and things run out of them from time to time.
Compared with the previous buildings, the building in front of Chen Ge looked more dilapidated. The walls on the first floor were stained with various stains, and there were many sundries at the entrance of the corridor.
"I found it." Chen Ge looked at the six-story apartment building in front of him. The advertisement outside the residential area said it was here.
"The mission site released by the black mobile phone is Room 303 on the third floor. Men Nan should live there." Chen Ge glanced at the time, and it was six minutes before eight o'clock in the evening: "It may be a little inconvenient after Doctor Gao arrives. , I'll go check the situation first."
He didn't call Dr. Gao and went directly into the corridor.
The floor is very low, the first floor is only about two meters a meter, and the guardrail is made of iron. Every time a distance, there will be a red rope wrapped around it, and I don't know what it is for.
Entering it, Chen Ge smelled a strange smell. It's very light, and it's not smelly. People who are used to it will even slowly ignore this smell. Chen Ge is also more sensitive because it's the first time he's here.
"It's a bit like the smell from the food." Chen Ge stopped for a while on the first floor. He tried to find the source of the smell, but to no avail. The smell seemed to be emanating from the apartment building itself, soaking through into each wall tile.
There were no lights in the corridor, and Chen Ge took out his mobile phone for lighting.
There are four families living on the first floor, which is very crowded. The sound insulation of the building is not good, and the quarrel inside can be clearly heard from outside.
Gently, Chen Ge came to the third floor. Instead of knocking on 303's door, he stood outside the door and listened to the voices in the house.
There are four households on the third floor, the TV in 301 is very loud; in 302, there is a man on the phone, his mood is not stable, Chen Ge can hear him repeat the two sentences the most - don't force it any more Me, are you trying to kill me
There was no sound in the two rooms 303 and 304, it was very quiet.
After staying for two or three minutes, Chen Ge gently knocked on the door of room 303. Interestingly, he just knocked on the door of room 303.
The sound of the TV in 301 was immediately turned down, and the man in 302 didn't seem to be on the phone anymore, and the whole third floor suddenly became quiet.
Chen Ge knocked on the door for a minute, but the door still didn't open. He was puzzled and whispered, "Men Nan? Are you at home?"
No one responded, just when Chen Ge wondered if he had made a mistake, the door of room 301 opened.
A very sloppy middle-aged man was lying on the door frame, and he exuded a strong smell of alcohol: "Hey! Who are you looking for?"
"Men Nan from 303, he is a student of Jiujiang Medical University. I heard that he is not feeling well recently. I will come to see him."
"You're wrong, I don't know who Men Nan is, but he definitely doesn't live in 303." The man scratched his face, his left cheek seemed to be bitten by a mosquito, and his skin was scratched.
"But my friend told me that he lives in this room." Chen Ge wanted to say something from the middle-aged man: "Besides, you don't know Men Nan, why can you be sure that he doesn't live in this room."
"303 people have died, and the house has not been rented out since the accident, why do you say?" The middle-aged man put his hand in front of his eyes and glanced at the bloodstains left on his fingertips, he scratched the wound even more: "Don't stop Knock on 303's door, do you hear it? It's really bad luck."
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man closed the door, but Chen Ge noticed that the sound of the TV in the house was not turned up. The middle-aged man probably did not leave, but was hiding at the door and watching his every move.
Chen Ge didn't knock on the door again. He had already obtained a very important clue from the man - 303 had died, and since the accident, this room has never been rented out.
The mission site mentioned by the black phone has been found, and the key now is to find a way to enter it before midnight.
"The black phone has never been at fault, and Men Nan's cause is estimated to be related to this room." Chen Ge looked at the table below, it was already eight o'clock.
He called Dr. Gao, who was afraid that he would not find his way, and had been guarding outside the residential area without coming in.
After explaining the situation on the phone, a few minutes later, Dr. Gao led Men Nan into the corridor.
When he saw Men Nan again, Chen Ge was taken aback. This young man looked completely different from normal people now, like a born deformed child.
His head and spine were almost out of place, and his head was drooping, as if someone was pressing down hard.
Chen Ge pointed to Men Nan, and looked at Doctor Gao with a questioning look.
Dr. Gao immediately understood what Chen Ge meant and shook his head gently: "The situation is even worse. After taking the medicine, it finally stabilized. Let's go in and talk about it."
Men Nan, who lowered his head, took out the key from his pocket. The light in the corridor was dim. He tried several times, but the key could not be inserted into the keyhole. His arms were shaking with anger, as if he was about to fall ill again.
Seeing his scene, Chen Ge quickly took the key to help him open the door of 304.
When the three entered the house, Dr. Gao and Men Nan were used to it and didn't feel anything, but Chen Ge was here for the first time, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the strange smell like something went bad.
"It seems to be emanating from the wall." Chen Ge glanced left and right, the house was very clean, there was no garbage in the trash, and there was nothing that could give off the smell: "Could it be that there are corpses hidden in the wall? ?"
Chen Ge quickly rejected this guess. The wall in the deepest part of the corridor on the third floor of the Ping An apartment was specially thickened by Wang Qi, and a body could not be stuffed into the normal apartment wall.
"What are you looking for?" Doctor Gao asked when he found that Chen Ge acted abnormally as soon as he entered the room.
"Did you smell a weird smell?" Chen Ge finally stopped by the wall between 303 and 304, where the smell was the strongest.
"It's a little bit, the old house will have some strange smell." Dr. Gao helped Men Nan to the bedside, but Men Nan refused to get close to the bed. He would rather stand than sit on the bed.
Chen Ge glanced at Men Nan and asked softly, "What's wrong with him?"
"He was afraid that he would fall asleep. In the last dream, the man had already strangled his neck. If he fell asleep again, he might not be able to wake up again."
