Zuo Han looked very anxious, as if he was being chased by something.
"I went to Ping An Apartment last night, but you were not there." It wasn't that Chen Ge didn't want to help Zuo Han, but he just felt that Zuo Han was still very young and it would be a pity to risk his life like this.
"After I left your haunted house that day, I was targeted by the hospital doctors. In order to get rid of them, I had to go to the Western Suburbs Private College and use the power of my one-eye to stop the doctors." Zuo Hanmo The pain on his face seemed to keep him awake at all times.
"She helped you stop the doctor, and you paid for it with your own body organs?"
"A very fair deal." Zuo Han sighed softly: "Ping An Apartment's The tenants are all people like us and are worthy of trust, but they are too weak. The world is not as simple as you think. All my suspicions have been confirmed step by step. We need the help of One Eye, and her existence is a kind of help. Deterrence can also give us a more intuitive understanding of this city."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Chen Ge looked at the watch: "But I have to leave before midnight. Because the tenants of Ping An Apartment and I have agreed to meet at Liwan Street after midnight tonight."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Ge originally wanted to keep the white cat as housekeeper, but who knew. The white cat jumped directly onto his backpack and couldn't drive it away, as if it was determined to be with Chen Ge.
Having no other choice, Chen Ge had no choice but to put the white cat and the tool hammer together and set off with his backpack.
Zuo Han didn’t understand Chen Ge’s behavior, but he didn’t say much.
After leaving the haunted house, Chen Ge was about to take a taxi, but was stopped by Zuo Han.
They walked through the city alleys and walked far away. They saw a van at the end of the back alley.
"The driver's name is Tang Jun, who is also a tenant of Ping An Apartment. He has lost most of his memory. According to what he said, he used to be a racing driver."
Tang Jun is very good at driving. , he drove his van to the less traveled roads and sent Zuo Han and Chen Ge to Xinhai Xijiao Private College before eleven o'clock in the evening.
This place has been abandoned for a long time for some unknown reason.
As soon as you enter the campus, you can feel the cold wind. The temperature inside the wall is much lower than outside.
"Follow me." This was not the first time Zuo Han entered the abandoned school. He led Chen Ge to avoid the teaching building and directly entered the multi-functional experimental building behind the abandoned school.
There are chairs everywhere in the building, and there is a student's name written under each chair.
Originally, students wrote their names under their chairs, probably because they were afraid of losing their chairs during meetings, but when the school was abandoned, the chairs with their names on them looked like tombstones.
"One-Eye is in the laboratory building?"
"Yes, but she doesn't know why she likes to stay here."
Laboratory BuildingAll the doors are locked, and there are all kinds of cruel and weird graffiti painted on the doors. It seems that very bad things have happened to this private college in the past, and the abandonment of the school is also related to those things.
There is an iron door leading from the third floor to the fourth floor of the laboratory building. There are a lot of broken chairs piled in front of the door. It looks like various stumps are piled together.
Zuo Han found a way among the pile of chairs and led Chen Ge into it.
"Here we are, right here. When you go in, don't say a word. One-Eye has a weird temper, and it might be bad for you." Zuo Han stopped at the door of the dance studio on the fourth floor. After giving Chen Ge a few words, he opened the door of the dance studio.
A biting cold air hit his face. When Chen Ge saw the scene inside the dance studio, his shoulders trembled uncontrollably and his heart was beating fast. It seemed that he had been here before. , this place is very important to me.
In the spacious dance room, honorary photos of people with their faces gouged out are posted on the walls, and a huge full-length mirror stands at the end of the dance room.
All the windows were boarded up, and there were a few chairs placed in the middle of the dance studio.
The airtight room seemed dark, depressing, and lingering with a touch of sadness.
Zuo Han took out a small knife from his pocket and gently scratched the wound on his cheek. Blood began to ooze from the hole in his left eye.
Bright red blood drops fell on the ground drop by drop. Zuo Han sat on the chair with a knife: "I am here to fulfill my agreement with you."
The temperature in the dance room increased again Lowering, the boards on the windows cracked, and the mirror at the end of the dance studio began to crack.
After a while, there was nothing unusual in the dance room, but if you look at the huge mirror, you will find that a one-eyed woman wearing a school uniform appeared in the dance room in the mirror.
In the mirror, she ignored Zuo Han who was bleeding and standing behind Chen Ge.
It was as if his back was frozen by ice, and Chen Ge couldn't even turn around.
"I am the one who is here to make a deal with you!" Zuo Han stared at the mirror with his remaining eye. He was a little confused. He had never been so interested in someone with his one eye. What exactly was Chen Ge? What is attracting her?
Perhaps because of hearing Zuo Han's voice, blood words began to appear on the mirror - give me seven lives, and I will enter the hospital and help you take out the case sheet.
Seven lives were exchanged for one shot from One Eye. Seeing this scene, Chen Ge frowned slightly.
The One-Eye hiding in the abandoned school was very consistent with his impression of a ghost, cruel, cold, terrifying, and playing with human nature.
"Qi Tiao? Didn't we agree yesterday that I would dedicate my life to you and you would enter the hospital and help me steal the case sheet of Patient No. 1?" Zuo Han stood up, blood flowing down his left hand. The wound on his eye was bleeding, and his face was covered in blood, which looked very scary.
The one-eyed woman in the mirror has been standing behind Chen Ge, she waved her hand, and new words appeared on the mirror - or you have another choice.
"You guys?" Seeing One-Eye's words, Zuo Han already had a bad premonition: "What choice?"
There are more and more cracks on the mirror surface. A ferocious font quietly appeared - give me Chen Ge's left eye!
Seeing the bleeding words on the mirror, both Chen Ge and Zuo Han felt bad.
"How did she know that my name is Chen Ge?" Chen Ge was very confused.
Zuo Han was also a little puzzled. One-eyed desire for Chen Ge far exceeded his own: "Can one of Chen Ge's eyes be equal to seven human lives?"
This bloody deal The chips made Zuo Han fall into deep thought, his eyes moving between the mirror and Chen Ge.
No one in the dance room spoke, everyone was weighing the pros and cons.
Frankly speaking, Chen Ge also really wanted to see the case sheet of Patient No. 1. He had a vague feeling that Patient No. 1 was related to the child who was put in seven jars, and was the key to solving the problem.
"If I give you my left eye, can you promise to bring out the case sheet of Patient No. 1 from the hospital?" Chen Ge didn't know the strength of One Eye. In his opinion, the hospital was unfathomable. Almost no one can fight it alone.
After a moment, a line of bloody words appeared on the mirror - No, but this is your last chance.
Giving up his left eye, there was no guarantee that he would be able to obtain a medical record, so Chen Ge hesitated.
"Chen Ge, the deal is cancelled, let's go." Zuo Han seemed to realize something. He stared at Chen Ge, gave Chen Ge a look, then stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as the two of them started to move, the door of the dance studio was closed. There was obviously nothing in the room, but Chen Ge and Zuo Han felt as if they were about to be crushed.
"Leave something behind before you can leave." The one-eyed woman in the mirror stood among the bloody words. Her pale arm covered with scars slowly raised, and Chen Ge began to lose control of his body. walked towards the mirror.
"Chen Ge!" Zuo Han grabbed Chen Ge's shoulders, but he couldn't stop Chen Ge at all and was dragged together to the mirror.
Looking at the one-eyed woman in the mirror, Chen Ge felt familiar yet strange in his heart.
What is familiar is this scene, what is unfamiliar is the person in front of me.
The one-eyed woman's raised arm reached forward and touched the mirror. The blood washed away. The pale arm covered with scars penetrated the mirror and grabbed Chen Ge.
The pupils shrank, and the one-eyed woman in Chen Ge's eyes slowly overlapped with another figure. He almost subconsciously pronounced a name: "Zhang Ya?"
Hearing this name , the one-eyed woman's outstretched hand stopped. Her hand that was originally grabbing Chen Ge's heart hovered in the air, and in the end she just took away a piece of Chen Ge's hair.
All the bloody words on the mirror disappeared. The one-eyed woman took a deep look at Chen Ge and walked into the world deep in the mirror.
The temperature in the dance studio returned to normal. Zuo Han stood next to Chen Ge. His face was covered with blood. He could hardly believe that the cruel One-Eye had let him and Chen Ge go.
"Have you known One-Eye before? Why did I feel that she was afraid at a certain moment just now?"
"Leave here first." The one-eyed woman said in the mirror The scene that appeared in it touched Chen Ge's memory.
When Zhang Ya's figure overlapped with that of the one-eyed woman, he seemed to be struck by lightning, and a long-lost feeling came to his heart.
He was very sure that Zhang Ya had appeared in this way before.
"There must be some truth hidden in Zhang Ya's dreams. After Duyan heard Zhang Ya's name just now, her demeanor changed obviously. Just the word Zhang Ya made her shake. This shows that Zhang Ya is probably a more terrifying ghost than One-Eyed!”
Because Zhang Ya is someone close to him, Chen Ge’s previous thoughts were more about protecting Zhang Ya and preventing Zhang Ya from being harmed, but now He found that the truth didn't seem to be the case.
"I have to have a good chat with her."
Compared with One-Eye's promise, Chen Ge now has a new direction.
After walking out of Xinhai Xijiao Private College, Tang Jun’s van was outside.
After getting in the car, Zuo Han and Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that a ghost? It's too scary." Chen Ge didn't feel too uncomfortable when he was getting along with the tenants of Ping'an Apartment. Only after meeting One-Eye this time did he realize how scary the ghost was.
"Chen Ge, I don't understand. Why does One Eye know your name? This must be the first time you meet!" Zuo Han was still thinking about this issue.
"I have lost my previous memories. One-Eye might have been friends with me." This is a more reasonable explanation that Chen Ge can think of.
"One of your eyes is equivalent to seven lives. Li Gui will not lie about the trading chips. It seems that I have to rethink it." Zuo Han touched his chin: "When I was in the hospital , you are the most special patient. Those doctors treat other patients as medicine to treat you. Now that you have left the hospital, Li Gui also thinks you are very special."
"I sometimes feel like this city is. It was built specifically to treat me. All traces were erased, leaving only those things that the hospital wanted me to see."
Zuo Han and Chen Ge were communicating with each other along the way and left the hospital. , they can finally speak freely.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Tang Jun drove Chen Ge and Zuo Han to Liwan Street.
This old street is located in the eastern suburbs of Xinhai and is the terminus of bus No. 104. It is extremely remote and few people come here.
"The tenants should have arrived. Do you know how to contact them?" Chen Ge looked at Zuo Han and Tang Jun, both of whom shook their heads.
"It's my first time to come to Liwan Street." After Zuo Han got off the car, he looked around and saw the street lights on both sides of the old street.It was flickering in and out, and there was not a soul in sight.
"Have you noticed that the shadows of everything on this street are skewed?" Tang Jun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. He tried to recall for a while: "Since coming to this place, It feels very familiar to me. I seemed to come here often to race with people."
"Shadow?" Chen Ge looked down and discovered something even weirder.
The shadows of all things and people on this street are skewed, but his shadow is normal.
"Something's wrong."
The three of them entered the street. The doors and windows of the buildings and shops on both sides were closed, and there was no popularity at all.
Across the entire street, they arrived at a residential area at the deepest part of Liwan Street.
As soon as they stepped through the door, they were enveloped in a cold feeling. This residential area and the outside seemed to be two different worlds.
Feeling something in his heart, Chen Ge subconsciously looked up. He found a little girl in red and bloody clothes staring at him from the window on the fourth floor of some kind of residential building.
"Is that Crimson?"
The corridor door was opened, and a middle-aged man named Zhou appeared at the door: "Stop the ink, come here quickly!"
All three people entered the corridor, and under the leadership of Lao Zhou, they met Hong Hong.
Lao Zhou and Men Nan wanted to introduce Chen Ge, but before they could speak, the little girl called Scarlet took the initiative to walk up to Chen Ge.
Then she made a very strange move. The child in blood-clothed squatted beside Chen Ge and gently touched Chen Ge's shadow with his palm.
After a moment, she raised her head, and ferocious blood characters appeared around the girl.
"After I followed my instinct and came to this old street, there was a man with a normal shadow waiting for me here. He said that he was Patient No. 2 and he needed my help now."
Looking at the bloody words on the ground, everyone in the room was stunned.
Everyone’s shadows are crooked. Only Chen Ge and Patient No. 2’s shadows are normal.
"What does he want you to do for him?" Chen Ge asked subconsciously, his intuition telling him that the answer to this question was very important to him.
"He wants me to be your shadow." The girl known as Crimson, her eyes filled with blood, seemed to have recovered part of her memory.
