Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 066, now you remember it!
The more Chen Xu thought about it, the more scared he became. When did he kill that literary young man? And why did he kill that literary young man? Chen Xu had no recollection of all this, but he was still very sure that he was the one who killed that literary young man. This feeling was very strange, so strange that even he himself could not believe it.
"I killed him? I remember I seemed to have chopped off his head. Did I do that? Why can't I remember anything?"
Chen Xu kept banging his head against his bed in the hope of remembering the incident completely, but as he tried harder to recall it, he became more and more certain that he was the one who killed that person!
This certainty made Chen Xu even more frightened: "I killed that man, how could he appear again? Ghost! The ghost must want to kill me! He wants revenge!"
"No! I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave! Otherwise he will kill me!"
At this time, Chen Xu was so frightened that he forgot that he was only wearing a pair of underwear. Just like that, Chen Xu ran downstairs in his underwear and slippers with a terrified look on his face. He didn't dare to stay there for even a second!
"We won't do anything when we get up there. The reason why the previous victims died within the time specified in the mission was more or less related to our participation. This time we are just spectators. We will adapt to the situation!"
After Zhang Fengyu finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Cheng En. Cheng En was stunned at first, but soon understood the meaning of "We are adapting to the situation."
As soon as the three of them went upstairs, they saw Chen Xu rushing down from the upstairs. However, Chen Xu's hair was very messy at this time, and he was only wearing a pair of underwear at home. It was a far cry from the handsome image of Chen Xu in their minds. Compared with this, the current Chen Xu was like a madman with severe mental illness. However, the moment Chen Xu went down, Zhang Fengyu and Cheng En still noticed Chen Xu.
However, Zhang Fengyu did not say anything and leaned to one side. Chen Xu walked down the stairs and ran out. Cheng En saw that Zhang Fengyu did not say anything. Cheng En thought that the ghost did not have any information about the ten dead people in his mind, so Zhao Liang could not identify them. The only way for him to identify the dead was through them!
The three of them ignored Chen Xu and climbed straight to the floor where Chen Xu was.
"This building is too dilapidated. Look at how broken the doors of these three houses are. I guess a robber would just kick them open!" Cheng En frowned when he saw the dilapidated building.
"Let's not worry about this kind of thing. Chen Xu lives in the second house. Let's go find him now."
Although Zhang Fengyu knew that Chen Xu had escaped, he still knocked on the door deliberately. The purpose of him and Cheng En's visit this time was not to change the time of Chen Xu's death, but to find an opportunity to get rid of Zhao Liang disguised as a ghost. That's why he didn't call Chen Xu when he recognized him just now.
After knocking for a long time, Chen Xu didn't open the door. Seeing this, Cheng En also asked in doubt: "Chen Xu is not at home. Did he go to his hair salon?"
Zhang Fengyu nodded and said, "It's possible! Aren't there two hair salons over there? Let's see if there is anyone there, and find out where Chen Xu's hair salon is."
"anyone there……!"
Zhang Fengyu wanted to knock on the door, but he pushed it open. It was obviously not locked. The moment the door was opened, a strong stench came out from the room.
"Why is it so smelly!"
"That is!"
Zhang Fengyu covered his nose and pushed the door open completely. The first thing he saw was the eerie human head placed on the bedside, which had already rotted away and was almost a skeleton!
"ah!"
When Cheng En saw this, he was frightened and screamed. Zhao Liang pretended to be terrified and took a step back. Zhang Fengyu also pulled out and quickly closed the door.
Just when the three were at a loss, an auntie came down from upstairs. After seeing Zhang Fengyu and the others, she hurriedly said, "Young men, don't rent a house on this floor. It's haunted!"
Zhang Fengyu did not mention the matter of the head, but asked with a puzzled look: "Auntie, I don't understand what you mean?"
"Oh, I'm not kidding you. The house you're standing in was originally occupied by a young painter, but he died for some unknown reason. Not long after his death, a young artist and a young hairdresser moved in. But a few days ago, the young artist also died for unknown reasons! Now only the hairdresser is still alive and living here!"
After hearing this, Zhang Fengyu looked at his watch. Five minutes had passed since Chen Xu's death. He stopped pretending and said to the two of them, "So, the one who ran downstairs just now was Chen Xu. Let's go down quickly!"
After Zhang Fengyu finished speaking, the three of them also ran down in a hurry. When they got outside, Zhang Fengyu pointed to one end and said, "Chen Xu can't run fast in slippers, let's split up and chase him! Zhao Liang, you go over there! Cheng En, you go over there, I'll go this direction, if you find him, call me!"
"good!"
"that……"
Zhao Liang wanted to pretend to be frightened and refuse, but when he saw that Cheng En and Zhang Fengyu had separated, he thought about it and followed the direction indicated by Zhang Fengyu.
After the three of them separated, Zhang Fengyu immediately called Cheng En: "Cheng En, remember, if Zhao Liang calls you later, don't answer the phone. Find a safer place to hide. If there is a new death time, don't worry about it. The last hiding place is moving. Call me if there is anything!"
"Understood!"
After hanging up Cheng En's phone, Zhang Fengyu called Li Xuan and Qiao Yan again: "Ms. Qiao, have you left Hongjing Hospital?"
"We're already out and we're in the car now!"
"That's good! Don't answer Zhao Liang's call. Since Zhao Liang has the ability to transform, he doesn't have the ability to teleport. So as long as he doesn't reveal his whereabouts, he should be fine. Okay, call me if you have anything!"
Zhang Fengyu did not stop. After hanging up the phone, he still ran forward quickly. He wanted to find a place that was more suitable for hiding and also more suitable for escaping, just in case.
This mission can be said to be extremely difficult. If Chen Ping had not accidentally obtained the pen, then Chen Ping would not have deliberately gone to Li Xia's house alone without Zhao Liang's knowledge to look for the two boxes. If this had not happened, then Chen Ping would not have known that he originally thought that after killing the dead, he would stay within a certain range and wait for the death of all ten people, and the ghost that was chasing them would disappear without any restrictions.
Afterwards, Chen Ping came to Wang Yingjie's house, but the ghost that transformed into Wang Yingjie also disappeared and did not stay in the room. In this way, combined with the fact that the ghost deliberately locked Li Xuan in the room and finally forced Li Xuan to jump off the building, all this was not to deliberately confuse them and make them think that the ghost could kill them, but to deliberately create the illusion that the ghost would stay in the original place after killing people. The purpose was to make them think that it was ten ghosts who killed the ten people, and that they were the ones who finally contacted and restricted the ghosts that were chasing them, making it difficult for them to discover that the ghost hidden beside them was actually the final killing move.
The mission assigned to those ten ghosts is to kill the ten people on the death list. After killing them, they will complete their mission and disappear. They will not kill the executors at all, because they have not been assigned such a mission. The ghost who is given the mission to kill the executors in the end is Zhao Liang who is hidden among them!
This is what Chen Ping figured out at the time, as well as the cause of Li Xia's death. It was that Zhao Liang and the ghost who killed Li Xia had somehow changed their appearances. That is, Zhao Liang became Tian Erxi's appearance , and Tian Erxi became Zhao Liang's appearance. Yet Chen Ping insisted on asking Zhao Liang to take Li Xia away.
Although all this seems to be a matter of course, it is all within the rules set out in the task and leads to a common result, which means that nothing can deviate from the principle!
Chen Ping also understood this, so he resolutely gave up contacting the dead and chose to escape from Zhao Liang first. He was waiting for Zhao Liang to find him, because he didn't know how the ghosts would find them in the end. Could they just rely on making phone calls? Or was there no way at all!
If Chen Ping hadn't discovered all this, then after the ten people died, none of the five people who gathered together would have survived! They would all have been killed by Zhao Liang who was hiding beside them! Everything before this mission was to confuse them in order to better hide Zhao Liang. This mission was extremely vicious! If they were not careful, they would all be killed!
Just after Zhang Fengyu separated from Zhao Liang under the pretext of pursuing Chen Xu, Chen Xu was still running away. Pedestrians who came late on the street thought Chen Xu was a madman.
Gradually, Chen Xu was exhausted and could not run anymore. He stopped and squatted under a newspaper booth to rest. The sound of conversation came from the booth. The voice sounded familiar to him. He stood up panting and looked into the booth. He saw people in the booth fanning themselves and watching TV. However, when Chen Xu saw the picture on TV, his expression turned into infinite horror!
In the picture, the young artist knocked hard on his door and said to him: "Chen Xu, it's bad, I saw that street painter! I just saw him walk out of his room and greeted me!"
In the picture, Chen Xu rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Don't scare me, didn't the painter die just after I moved here?"
However, when Chen Xu said this, his eyes suddenly froze, because the street painter stood behind the young artist, and then pulled the young artist's head off. Chen Xu screamed in fear at the time, and the street painter walked towards Chen Xu step by step with a grim smile on his face, and finally grabbed Chen Xu's head: "You can't see it now, I'll change your memory. Remember, when you remember, it will be the time for you to die!"
The TV screen suddenly disappeared, and the man waving a fan in the newsstand turned his head. It was the street painter. He said to Chen Xu with a cruel smile: "Remember it now!"
