"They are indeed different from normal criminals . They have a purpose, and they're more insane . " Chen Ge was reminded of a story he had heard while he was at the ghost stories society . "The bunch of crazies once drowned a middle-aged man to help cure one of their partners' illness . "
"Killing for the purpose of curing an illness?" Captain Yan could not believe it .
"The patient was abused since she was a child; her father forced her head into the water many times . Curses and threats, claiming he was going to drown her . This left a mental scar that couldn't be forgotten . After she grew up, she had an irrational fear of water . Even when she drank normal water, she felt like it was suffocating her soul . Other patients thus drafted this treatment for her . It was to deal with the source of the fear . From their perspective, she wasn't afraid of water but her own father . "
This was the story that Chen Ge had overheard when Lychee asked about other members of the society . "The whole group of patients from the Third Sick Hall are insane . They know they are not normal and are sick, but they do not approve of the traditional methods and intend on using their own methods to cure themselves . "
Chen Ge's words caused Captain Yan to think . "Every citizen's personal safety is protected by the law; no one has the right to deprive another of their life . No matter their reason, they will never escape the persecution of the law . "
"I'm not giving them a reason; I'm just telling you the truth . " Chen Ge paced in the room . "All the victims this time are sinners, and their eyes were gouged . The similarity is too obvious, so I believe this is another attempt at curing one of their members . "
"What kind of belief will link trauma together with sin and eyes?" Captain Yan thought Chen Ge had a point .
"That, I don't know, but you have to be fast . You've found two victims, but based on my understanding of these people, their favorite number is three . "
"You mean there will be a third victim?"
"No matter what they do, they always aim for three . I don't understand why . " Chen Ge told the police everything he knew . The society was his enemy, and helping the police was helping himself .
"Okay, we will pay closer attention to this . "
After the call ended, Chen Ge could not sleep . "There are only three members left . Xiong Qing has been captured, so he isn't one of the members . Plus, with his personality, he would expose me during the Wednesday meeting . From the list of patients that escaped from the Third Sick Hall, only three confirmed living ones remain—Wang Shenglong; Patient 6, Han Bao'er; and Patient 9, Wu Fei .
"Wang Shenglong was at home during the Wednesday meeting, and this was confirmed by the police . He isn't a society member, and the monster possessing him escaped silently from behind the door . Then this will lead to another problem . Of the three remaining members, only two came from the Third Sick Hall . "
Chen Ge had plenty of information on the ghost stories society . He was familiar with the chairperson's voice—she was someone he had seen before—and then No . 10 seemed to know him, but his stance was still an unknown .
"When the investigator jumped off the building, his dying words were Men Nan . Could the last unknown member be Men Nan?" Chen Ge then soon vetoed this speculation . He could not trust the enemy's words fully . At the time, the investigator had been under the control of the society member, so his message could have been to lead him astray .
"Whether the investigator was lying or not, at least I garnered an important piece of information from him . The person controlling him knew about Men Nan, or else he wouldn't have left Men Nan's name at that crucial moment .
"Wu Fei is hiding in the shadowy corners of the city while Men Nan is the complete opposite . He's trying to live a normal life and can be found at any time . Neither of them are my opening . " Chen Ge thought about it and decided to make Han Bao'er his next target . "If I just send all of them into jail, then I won't need to waste time guessing who the chairperson is . "
Chen Ge cleared his mind and slowly fell asleep .
At 8:30 am, Chen Ge stretched lazily in bed . He went for a shower, and when he past the first floor toilet, his heart almost stopped . There was a very thin crack on the cubicle door . It looked like a narrowed eye looking at the world outside the door with evil intention .
"Something appeared behind the door at midnight last night and left this crack . "
After Chen Ge sealed the cubicle up with wooden boards, it had been relatively peaceful . He had thought that the problem was resolved and tossed it out of his mind .
However, after discovering the crack, the anxiety in his heart returned .
"The crack is very even, and the surface is smooth . This should be a new ghost that I've not seen before . "
The world behind the door was still too unknown to Chen Ge, and he did not want to deal with them yet . "The ghost stories society knows how to close the door, and Men Nan's main persona should know some secrets as well . Now that there's a change to this door inside my Haunted House, the mission for the Third Sick Hall cannot be delayed anymore . "
Chen Ge had a plan after he exited the toilet . The park opened at 9 am, and the resting tent at the door was filled up within twenty minutes . There were a few familiar faces . They were excited as they talked with their friends, their voices filled with anticipation .
"Every Haunted House boss would love to see something like this . Their work is renowned and can bring in many visitors . " Chen Ge put on Doctor Skull-cracker's mask . It had not been easy leading the Haunted House to this stage; he could not allow everything to go to ruin due to a door .
"Before the trial mission for Coffin Village disappears, I need to capture all the society members and get the way to close the door out of them . "
Filled with pointed hatred, Boss Chen gave the visitors a few authentic experiences . The screams inside the Haunted House rose like waves and did not stop for the whole day . At 3 pm, Captain Yan called Chen Ge several times . Chen Ge was busy chasing after visitors inside the Haunted House, so he did not notice it .
Chen Ge saw it when the park closed, and he immediately returned Captain Yan's calls .
"Captain Yan, you've caught the killer?" Chen Ge wiped the make-up from his face and gave Xu Wan the permission to leave .
Captain Yan was silent, and after a long time, he said, "We've found the third victim; it's an employee at Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station . We found him in the same state as the other two victims . "
