The womanâs face was startlingly white. When she was agitated, her features twisted dangerously. Her slender arm curled around Gu Feiyuâs neck, and her icy finger slid down the manâs face.
Licking away her bright lipstick, her thin purplish lips leaned against Gu Feiyuâs ear and continued to mumble, âTwo of us have fallen in love with the same thing, so the fairest way is to cut it into half so that we can have one half each.â
The cleaver cut through the uniformâs button, and the womanâs movement was gentle and soft. The security guard tried his best to open his eyes. He had not completely fainted.
âBoth me and my sister got our love; he was the first for both of us.â The woman leaned against Gu Feiyuâs chest. âYou have a personality thatâs similar to his. Initially, I wanted to wait for a few months before asking you to come up, but those people have already found me, so I need to leave this city as soon as possible.â
Listening to Gu Feiyuâs heartbeat, the woman raised her head to say, âDonât worry, I wonât hurt you.â
She walked into the bedroom to retrieve the black suitcase from the top of the closet. From within, she took out an ancient tape recorder. Kneeling beside it, the woman picked out a tape that was covered in dust. She kissed along the edge of the tape slowly like she was doing some sort of ritual.
She put in the tape and pressed the play button, and a boyâs voice drifted out from it. The woman held the cleaver and listened to the song quietly. The boy had a clear and warm tone. It was filled with love. It was a love song.
âIâve made about ten copies of this tape, but most of them have been lost.â
The familiar melody surrounded the living room, and it seemed to bring the woman back many years. She tossed Gu Feiyuâs uniform aside and took out the bundle of rope from underneath the sofa. After securing the knot, she dragged Gu Feiyu into the bathroom.
Hiding inside the closet, Chen Ge saw everything. âThe locked freezer, the large bathroom⌠this woman has prepared everything. This is pure madness.â
Chen Ge knew he had to make his move soon or Gu Feiyu would be in mortal danger. He lowered the volume on his phone and stood beside the bedroom door. He grabbed the chair from the make-up table and called Gu Feiyuâs number.
The woman dropped Gu Feiyu into the bathtub, and the manâs phone in the living room rang. âWhy at a time like this?â
The woman walked out of the bathroom barefooted and picked up the security uniform that was left in the corner. When the woman was looking through the uniform for Gu Feiyuâs phone, Chen Ge walked silently behind the woman.
As if sensing something, the woman turned. However, before she could turn fully around, Chen Ge already swung the heavy chair at her.
The woman did not expect another person in the room. She collapsed to the floor, and the top of her head was bleeding. Her pair of eyes glared at Chen Ge like they were bulging from the socket.
âWhy are you hereâ˝â
Chen Ge was not one to waste time talking, especially when his target was not incapacitated. The chair went down once more on the same spot. The womanâs head lulled to the side. She was already weak to begin with, but now she could not even stand up.
Chen Ge untied the ropes from Gu Feiyu and used them to tie up the womanâs legs and arms. âWho would have thought the two missions are overlapping? Then again, this makes thing easy for me.â
He pulled out his own tape and placed it inside the recorder. The singing stopped, and only white noise could be heard.
âThose who disrespect life will be disrespected by life.â
Fresh blood dyed the womanâs face. She was lying on the ground, but she kept her eyes glaring at Chen Ge. The expression on her face was curious. There was no fear or worry but plenty of surprise and shock. Taking out his phone, Chen Ge called Inspector Lee. Just as the call was picked up, the lights in the room went off.
The woman came out from the Third Sick Hall, so she should carry a monster from inside the door on her.
Chen Ge opened the flashlight function on her phone and retrieved the cleaver from his backpack.
The red cloth fluttered to the ground, and Chen Ge cautiously looked around. After some time, there was a sound coming from the front door. It sounded like someone was scratching at the door with their nails. It sounded shrill to the ears. Chen Ge got quite unsettled listening to it.
Itâs that white shadow!
The first moment Chen Ge heard the scratching, he knew who it was.
âIs anyone home?â There was a rather ambiguous voice coming from beyond the door, and it had a weird tone. It repeated the same question. Holding the cleaver, Chen Ge did not know whether to answer or not.
When it repeated itself the seventh time, the voice said, âIs anyone home? If no oneâs home, Iâm coming in.â
The front door creaked open, and a white shadow about the size of a normal person stood at the door. This was the fourth monster Chen Ge had come across after the mirror monster, the thin monster, and the broken-arm monster. It had a blurry face and incomplete facial features, but it moved very fast.
Chen Ge blocked the cleaver before his chest. The monster gave him plenty of pressure; this creature was weaker than the thin monster but much stronger than a normal mirror monster. When he was at Third Sick Hall, a thin monster had chased him all over the place. If not for Zhang Ya, Chen Ge might not even have survived.
The white shadow faced Chen Ge and morphed to his side in the blink of an eye. Chen Ge waved the cleaver, and when it cut through the white shadow, it screamed like it was injured. It then glared at Chen Ge.
The white face morphed before Chen Geâs eyes. It finally changed into the face of Patient No. 2. However, the facial features were unstable. It felt like the result of too many plastic surgeries. The whole face was fragile like the features could come loose if the woman made too many facial expressions.
As the face leaned closer, Chen Ge used the ballpoint pen in his pocket to poke the ghost. He struggled as best as he could. Caught in their fight, no one realized a manâs painful scream was echoing through the room.
âSo painfulâŚâ
The tip of the pen stuck into the white shadowâs forehead. The monster gripped Chen Geâs wrist tightly and slowly moved its face toward Chen Geâs face. It seemed like it was trying to steal Chen Geâs face!
âSo painful, so painful, so painful!â
Just as the white shadow was about to touch the tip of Chen Geâs nose, its body was pulled back by an unknown force, and its hair was pulled taut.
âSo painful!â When the scream appeared behind the white shadow, the expressions of both Chen Ge and the woman on the floor shifted.

âXu Yin! Is that youâ˝â The womanâs reaction was bigger than Chen Geâs. Since she was all tied up, she used her forehead to move forward; she was trying to sit up.
When the woman was distracted, the white shadowâs face disappeared, and its presence weakened.
âWhatâs going on? It was the woman who was controlling the white shadow?â Chen Ge was the only one who maintained his calm. He kept his eyes on the white shadow. Realizing it had weakened, he made use of this opportunity to injure it.
The Tape Ghost had incapacitated the white shadow, so it was the perfect chance to give it a heavy blow. However, to Chen Geâs surprise, at the last minute, the Tape Ghost let go. It seemed to have recognized the woman on the floor.
