My House of Horrors Chapter 388

Chapter 388: 388
The man that Liu Xianxian had a crush on was very alert . Thankfully, this was not the first time Chen Ge had needed to tail someone, and it was due to his experience that he was not exposed . His apartment is in Fang Hwa? This place is not that far from Jiujiang Medical University, and the bus comes pretty often . In that case, why did he ask for a staff residence at the school?
Chen Ge did not dare get too close . He watched as the man entered the third building . It’s the third building again . This cannot be a coincidence .
After enough time had passed, Chen Ge also entered the building . He was familiar with the building’s layout . He pretended to be a tenant and very naturally head for the safety door . He was halfway through and realized that there was no one waiting for the elevator .
The man didn’t take the elevator? Chen Ge held his breath as he entered the safety passage . There were no footsteps echoing down the stairs either . Right then, there was the sound of door opening on the first floor .
He’s living on the first floor itself . Chen Ge stood in the half-open door and leaned out to look down the corridor .
Room 3004 .
He remembered the room number before slinking over it to stick his ear to the door .
The man’s voice on the phone filtered out from inside the room . “Brother-in-law? The school has not been safe recently . Things keep happening at night . Do you mind if I stay at your place for a while? Don’t worry, I will not mess up the place . I will not touch a thing of yours or sister’s . I know how important this place is to you . I know, I understand . I promise to not enter your study! Will not touch anything!”
After the call ended, the man’s tone changed immediately . “Do you really think I want to be here? Such a pretender . Do you think I really want your charity‽”

Outside the room, one could hear the man rummaging through the room . He appeared mature and confident, but a completely different soul was occupying his body . After a bit more grumbling, the man continued to ransack the room . The sound of doors and drawers being pulled open echoed endlessly .
“That room has been rearranged, so the layout is different from before . No one should be able to tell the difference . I need to check it again . ” The man moved inside the room, and he had no idea his monologue was audible to Chen Ge .
One of the rooms has been rearranged? Why would he conduct an investigation at a time like this?
The man’s actions were weird . Chen Ge initially thought that he was a weirdo and did not relate him to the murder, but with every sentence that escaped the man’s lips, his suspicion of the man continued to grow .
After a few more minutes, the man seemed to have gotten all the necessary tools and entered the room . Due to the distance, Chen Ge could not hear anything . He remembered the room number and exited the building to walk to the window . He squatted down and crawled to the window of room 3004 . Chen Ge glanced into the room . The man had a toolbox in his hands, and the look on his face as he stared at the bed in the room was quite scary .
“When I first stepped into this room, I felt it was cold . Even after so many years, I still cannot forget about it . ” When the man focused on the bed, Chen Ge clicked open the camera on his phone and silently recorded the layout of the room . The room had many partitions, making it feel smaller and more cramped than it was .
There is no table or bookshelf, and the mattress is also different from the one in Ma Yin’s video, but the location of the bed hasn’t changed . Peeking through this window allows me to have a clear view of stuff under the bed .

The furniture inside the room had been changed, and the interior had been transformed due to the partitions . On first glance, it was indeed different from the room in Ma Yin’s video . However, he missed a very important element—the window .
The man had not seen Ma Yin’s video . He only knew that Ma Yin had captured a video from inside the room, but he had no idea about its exact content . Based on the layout of the room and the man’s words, Chen Ge was fifty percent certain that this man, who Liu Xianxian had a crush on, was related to Ma Yin’s sister’s disappearance . His hand went to the hammer inside the backpack, and he was itching for action .
No, the sun is still out . It’s too inconvenient to do things like that in broad daylight .
It was almost the beginning of the working day . There were many people in the residential area . If Chen Ge injured the man, he would definitely scream . If a crowd gathered, Chen Ge would really have no way to explain himself .
He works at Jiujiang Medical University, and so many things happened at the campus last night . He must have a lot of things to do, so he wouldn’t dare stay too long at home . He’ll be leaving soon . I’ll take my chances then .
Chen Ge took out the comic to attempt to negotiate with the ghosts inside it . However, probably it was daytime, only one of them answered his call .
So heartless?
In the end, it was Yan Danian who helped Chen Ge convince the other three ghosts . Chen Ge could sense a trace of liveliness in Yan Danian that was absent before this .
After summoning the gambler, Ol’ Zhou, and the English teacher, Chen Ge told them his plan . He needed them to ‘accidentally’ steal the key . The three ghosts were doing this for the first time, and it was a challenge for them too .
Several minutes later, as Chen Ge expected, the man exited Room 3004 . He put on the confident smile . His clothes had no wrinkles, and his shoes were shined .
It’s time to move .
Perhaps because the light in the room was stronger, the three ghosts could only stay in physical form for twenty or thirty seconds, so Chen Ge only had one chance . When the man was about several meters away from the safety door, Chen Ge put all three of them out at the same time .
The very moment he did that, before he even realized what was happening, Ol’ Zhou already landed a punch on Bai Qiulin’s face . “You dare to cheat with my wife! You f*cker!”
Then, he started tussling with Bai Qiulin . Their fight was dragged out of the safety passage and knocked into the man .
“Stop fighting!” Duan Yue screamed as she ran out to try to stop the fight . Everything happened so suddenly that even Chen Ge himself was stunned, much less the man . The three tossed and turned, and the man was pushed against the wall . The argument was so intense that he did not dare interrupt them . At a time like this, he just wanted to escape .
After about fifteen seconds, Bai Qiulin swung Ol’ Zhou’s hands away, and he ran into the safety door .
“I will definitely kill you today!”
Ol’ Zhou and Duan Yue chased after him . The three completed the mission in about twenty-three seconds .
Holding the key in his hand, Chen Ge felt the event was quite surreal .
“My God, what just happened?”

Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.
