"The nursing staff in the hospital are all the last names to eat. There may be some connection between them, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."

Chen Ge looked at the blood all over the ground, and he didn't even bother to eat and left the hotel.

After walking along the path for more than a hundred meters, when Chen Ge looked back, all the lights in the store were turned off, and the surroundings were pitch black and there was nothing to see.

"In my opinion, a city is extremely beautiful. He said that this city is used to punish patients. He also mentioned the word "door". Does "door" have some special meaning in this city?"

Chen Ge thought of the door in Zhang Ya's haunted house bathroom. Every time he opened the compartment door, the next time he entered the bathroom, he found that the compartment door would be closed.

In addition, when Dr. Gao was receiving treatment in the hospital, when he pulled him into the brain maze, the key turning point was to push the door.

After pushing open the door, the hospital outside was gloomy and terrifying, inside and outside the door seemed like two worlds.

"Maybe the exit from this city is a door hidden in the city."

According to the location provided by Zuo Han, Chen Ge finally found Ping'an Apartment at 11:40 pm.

It was an almost abandoned old apartment building, located behind a deserted village in the western suburbs of Xinhai, and was extremely remote.

"Why did the writer and Zuo Han ask me to come here? Have they met in advance?"

The leaves rustled, and Chen Ge passed through the abandoned village, with no ghosts around him.

"I always feel like I've been to this place." Chen Ge looked at the grave outside the village and the old locust tree that was crooked at the entrance of the village, but such a terrifying scene did not cause any turmoil in his heart.

"What have I experienced before? Why does seeing these things that normal people should be afraid of are not only not afraid, but also feel a sense of intimacy?"

Chen Ge did not think that he was abnormal, but just felt that the formation of this mentality must have deep-seated reasons.

When he arrived at the back of the village, Chen Ge was about to continue walking forward when he suddenly saw a person squatting on the grave beside him.

He seemed to appear suddenly, and he seemed to be there all the time.

When Chen Ge saw that person, he also saw Chen Ge. Both sides looked at each other and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. No one said anything and just staggered it.

The man continued to squat on the grave, and Chen Ge took a few steps before he suddenly realized that the man who had just squatted on the grave looked familiar.

When Chen Ge looked back, there was only an lonely grave left behind him.

"Where are people?"

"In the middle of the night, there was a person squatting on the grave. Why can I easily accept such an abnormal thing? The person squatting on the grave did not make me feel very bad."

Since he made up his mind to come to Ping'an Apartment, Chen Ge gradually discovered that more things around him were beginning to increase.

If you want to go to Ping'an Apartment, you must pass through a deserted village. After Chen Ge passed a cemetery, a dirt road piled with branches and garbage appeared in front of him.

There is also a sign next to the road with three words prohibited from entering.

It’s just that I’ve been disrepairing, the brand is crooked and the handwriting has become very blurred.

"Who are the people who are still living in the apartment so broken?"

Walking on the bumpy dirt road, Chen Ge looked at both sides curiously. Wreaths and soul banners were hung on both sides of the road, and a lot of paper money was scattered on the ground. Some of the paper money was half buried in the soil, obviously it was sprinkled a long time ago.

There is a white cloth wrapped around the trunk, and tombstones can be vaguely seen in the woods. The graves are hidden, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

If an ordinary resident from Xinhai City came here, he would have turned around and left at this time.

"The arrangement is so terrifying, it feels like I'm deliberately hiding something and not wanting people to get close to it."

The path in front of him seemed to lead directly to the underworld. Chen Ge didn't know how long he had walked, but finally came to the end of the road.

Deep in the dense forest, there is a dilapidated apartment building, with three floors in total, not very high. All the windows on the third floor were blocked with wooden boards, and traces of the fire burning can be seen on the walls.

There seemed to be a fire here. The homeowner may have renovated the two floors below because of shortage of funds, and the third floor is almost retained as it is.

“Ping An Apartment?”

Walking through the weedy courtyard, Chen Ge saw the sign at the door of the apartment building.

This building seems to have had many names before, and the fonts on the brand have been constantly modified, which looks very messy.

"Is anyone here?" Chen Ge opened the zipper of the backpack, reached into the bag, and carefully entered the corridor.

The interior of the apartment is extremely dilapidated, with cracked floor tiles and cracked walls. Occasionally, black bugs can be seen crawling in it.

"It looks quite small outside, but I didn't expect there were so many rooms inside." Chen Ge didn't dare to move in the corridor casually. His eyes swept through the doors and finally walked towards Door No. 101.

Knocking at the door, Chen Ge stood at the door for a long time but no one opened the door. He lay on the door panel, listening with his ears on his ears.

The room was quiet, as if there was no one living there at all.

"What are you doing?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Ge, which scared Chen Ge. He immediately turned around and looked behind him.

"It's you! The person who squatted on the grave before!" Chen Ge recognized the man behind him.

"This is not the place you should come. Let's leave quickly while it has not disturbed other tenants." The man stood a few steps behind Chen Ge. He didn't hear anything when he walked. Chen Ge had no idea when the other party came.

"It's too late. There is no car left now. Can I stay here for one night?" Chen Ge stared at the man and kept all the other person's every move in his heart.

"The room is already full." The middle-aged man kept urging Chen Ge to leave: "Let's go, even if you live outside, it's better than living here."

"Full room? But why do I feel that there are no people in all the rooms here?"

"No one does not mean there is no tenant in the room..." Before the man finished speaking, something seemed to fall on the third floor, rolling on the stairs like a ball.

Chen Ge turned his head and looked, but the man blocked his vision with his body first.

"Did something fall down just now?"

"A tenant's belongings fell off. I'll help her. You stand here and don't move." The man walked towards the corner of the corridor. Chen Ge did not listen to him, but followed him directly.

When he arrived at the corner of the stairs, Chen Ge saw the middle-aged man put something on a woman.

"Thank you..." The woman stroked her neck with both hands and looked at Chen Ge with some curiosity.

What's strange is that when she saw Chen Ge's face, her eyes could not be taken away. It was not until the middle-aged man coughed several times that the woman realized something and turned and left.

Being watched by the strange woman, Chen Ge broke out in cold sweat on his back.

Just now, he clearly saw a middle-aged man put something on a woman, but there was nothing that could make the sound of a ball colliding with the woman's hands.

Chen Ge's eyes stared at the back of the woman's neck, and the other party's neck was twisted unnaturally, and her head seemed not to fit completely into the neck.

"You should leave." The middle-aged man stood on the stairs and looked down at Chen Ge. His face appeared an abnormally tiny color, like a corpse in a morgue.

"Actually, I came here to find my friends." Chen Ge didn't want to hide it. This place was too weird, and he thought it would be better to tell the truth.

"Your friend cannot be here, and the tenant living here cannot be your friend." The middle-aged man walked up to Chen Ge: "This is you tonight, my second time meeting. The first time I pretended not to see you. I can still pretend not to see you now. Let's leave now, there is no third time."

"You have been pretending not to see me? What if you see me?"

“It will be hard to leave again if you become a tenant here.”

The middle-aged man and Chen Ge were in a stalemate in the corridor. After a moment, a door near the corridor on the second floor was opened. A woman wearing glasses walked out of the room and happened to see Chen Ge and the middle-aged man.

The woman's eyes also changed when she saw Chen Ge. She seemed to have a good relationship with the middle-aged man. She walked directly to the middle-aged man and asked in a low voice in his ear: "Lao Zhou, has this person been to Ping'an Apartment before?"

The middle-aged man called Lao Zhou shook his head: "I'm driving him away."

"If more tenants saw it, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to." After saying that, the woman with glasses seemed to have not seen Chen Ge at all, and passed by Chen Ge and walked towards the third floor.

Chen Ge also found that the people in Ping'an's apartment were very strange to him, and he guessed that it might be because of Zhang Wenyu and Zuo Han.

"That... Brother Zhou, is there anyone named Zuo Han among your tenants? He and I are patients?" Chen Ge said Zuo Han's name. His original intention was to learn more, but who knew that when he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's attitude towards him immediately changed.

"Patient? Which hospital are you from?" Old Zhou stared at Chen Ge.

"We live in the same ward, and his escape from the hospital can be said to be related to me."

"Zuo Han hasn't come back yet. If you are his friend, then go to his room to wait for him first." After Lao Zhou learned that Chen Ge came out of that hospital, he changed his mind. He personally led Chen Ge to the deepest part of the corridor on the second floor: "Zuo Han lives here, and the door lock in his room just happened to be broken. You can go into the room and wait for him."

Chen Ge was not polite either. He pushed the door open and saw blood-stained bandages and gauze all over the ground.

"These are all replaced by Zuo Han. He went out to see a friend today and hasn't come back yet."

"I was the friend he went to meet." Chen Ge pointed to himself.

"Oh? He went to see you, but he didn't come back, but you came here to find him?" The man called Lao Zhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Before he comes back, you'd better not run around. This apartment building is more lively in the early morning. No matter what you hear, don't walk out of the room, just block your ears and sleep."

After the middle-aged man said that, he turned around and left, and Chen Ge stayed alone in the room.

The house is very simple, but Chen Ge feels it is very familiar.

It felt like I was visiting some strange place for the first time, but it seemed like I had dreamed of it in a dream.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Ge always grabbed his backpack: "I seemed to have been to this place before, and I don't remember what happened, but I remember it was a very bad thing."

Chen Ge waited in the room until the second half of the night, but Zuo Han still did not come back.

Sleepy, Chen Ge rubbed his blood-stained eyes: "A normal apartment is absolutely impossible to open behind the graves in the deserted village, there must be problems here."

If Chen Ge has eliminated the impact of past memories on him according to the original treatment plan of the hospital, then his current condition should be the same as that of an ordinary person who came to the apartment for the first time.

But unfortunately, Dr. Sun's appearance caused loopholes in the hospital's treatment. Chen Ge knew that he could not fully trust his eyes at any time. He had always maintained a calmness beyond the limits of human beings.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the upper floor, as if someone was cutting something with a saw.

He remembered the words of the man named Zhou and stayed in the room honestly. The sound of cutting gradually weakened. The sound of wall debris falling off and faint screams began to appear above his head. Chen Ge faintly heard the name Zhang Wenyu.

"It must make sense that he doesn't let me go out." Chen Ge still sat on the bed without moving, but a few minutes later, he overheard a familiar name from the conversation upstairs - Zhang Jingjiu.
