Chapter 433: 433

Chen Ge was hit with a sense of familiarity when he read the treatment method . When I was invited to the society for the first time, one of the members told me this . All the pictures pasted here are victims of the society?

The pictures covered the entire room with no space left . Most of them were taken after the victims’ death, recording their death in picture . The ghost stories society, the victims, the underground morgue, the central hub that is made from entirely human bodies…

Chen Ge linked all the clues in his mind . His eyes widened, surprised at the lengths that the culprit had gone to for his plan .

The owner of the underground morgue is the chairperson! He needed a large number of dead bodies, so he volunteered to help the crazies at the Third Sick Hall and used a much-crazier method to help with their treatment, to turn them into his helpers to create the endless string of ghost stories . When he was treating the members, he transported all the dead victims here to build a kingdom made purely from cadavers!

The Third Sick Hall had been abandoned five to six years ago, and it was then that the old director had disappeared behind the door .

According to the timeline, the society had been active in the city’s shadow for about five to six years already . They had never brushed shoulders with the police but left many untraceable ghost stories around the city with their own creepy method . Chen Ge pulled down another picture from the wall . The victim was a woman who looked around twenty and had a smoking body . There were some notes on her picture as well .

“Wednesday, Patient 107 .

“Diagnosis result: Depression and anorexia .

“Treatment method: Lowering estrogen and thyroxin, and raising corticosteroid hormone . Patient 107 suffers from both biological and mental pressure . Investigation reveals that she has been mocked by ‘her best friend’ since she was young . The solution is to make a special appetizer for the patient—the ingredient shall be her ‘best friend’ .

“Follow-up: Patient 107’s anorexia has been treated, and the depression is recovering . However, it is suspected that now she is suffering from a new mental illness, and the symptom includes cooking all of her favorite things .

“Treatment method: To be considered . Suggest absorbing her into the society as a new member to start the second level of treatment . “

The second picture was describing the DJ who arrived at the society with Chen Ge—Lychee . The DJ would be on the air every Wednesday to talk about cooking and food . The treatment by the society is indeed insane . They are not curing people but creating demons, slowing pushing living people into hell .

Lychee was the perfect example . She suffered from anorexia, but she eventually got turned into a monster . Standing in the middle of the room, looking at the pictures on the wall, Chen Ge suddenly realized that the craziest person of all was actually the chairperson . To be able to create so many crazy events and then maintain his rationality and calmness to come up with new treatment plans and diagnoses, the man’s world was definitely different from a normal person’s .

Half of the missing people in Jiujiang are probably here .

Each picture represented a victim, but most of the victims had it coming . For example, that middle-aged man who tortured his own adopted daughter or Lychee’s childhood ‘best friend’ .

Every death had a reason behind it, and a case could be made that they deserved to die, but this was not applicable on the side of the law . If these people were allowed to live, they would be the demon in the hearts of the patients forever . Therefore, they used the most direct way to even things out .

Initially, the ghost stories society might really have been a support group for a group of mental patients, but as time went on, things changed . Those who were crazy did not get saved, and the twisted worldview got normalized . They slowly thought that they were the normal ones . The insane people who rationalized themselves as the normal ones were often the scariest .

Chen Ge’s eyes swept the group of pictures, and he could see a completely different human history that was covered with pain and struggle . After the white cat entered the room, it ran to the left wall and continued to call after Chen Ge .

Knowing that the cat had discovered something, Chen Ge searched the wall that was covered with pictures closely . He eventually found a hidden door handle . Pushing the door open, Chen Ge entered the third room . If the rooms outside were like display rooms, then this innermost room was probably the chairperson’s office . Two tables were joined together, and there were various books and files in the room . Everything was arranged neatly .

The clean and neat environment created an illusion that they were inside an underground office . Flipping through the data and notes, the handwriting was beautiful, but the content was chilling . They were filled with various ghost stories, and behind each story was a human life .

These should be the crimes that the chairperson has committed for the past five to six years .

Chen Ge did not have the chance to look closer when the cat called again . It stopped before the bookshelf and started to walk in a circle .

There’s another door? Chen Ge moved the shelf away, and as he expected, there was indeed another door . Pushing the door open, the cat did not enter but called endlessly at the threshold like it was trying to warn Chen Ge .

Seeing the weird reaction from the cat, Chen Ge did not rush to go in . He stood at the door and looked into the room . The room had a double bed, and the wall opposite the bed had several pictures .

The first picture had been taken during summer, it was already so long ago, and there were three children of differing ages inside the picture . The girl looked innocent and cute . Standing in the middle of the two boys, she looked helpless as she tried to stop the boys from arguing .

The second picture was taken during winter . The three who were now older stood under a building . The girl looked at the burning building, and she was crying . She wanted to run back into the building but was stopped by the two boys and the nearby adults .

The third picture was much clearer . The three children had all grown up . The girl had grown into a beauty . She carried her textbooks and sat in the middle of the two young men . She was talking with one of them while the other young man, who appeared rather awkward, moved his head away to focus on the glass on the table . The picture had been taken from the side, and one could see the glass captured the girl’s reflection perfectly .

The fourth picture was a wedding photo . The awkward boy had disappeared, and only the pair remained .

The last picture was next to the wedding photo . There was only the girl inside the picture frame . This was a black-and-white picture of the girl who had passed away .
