Chapter 47: Because once someone believes
"You're not Jay Chou or Eason Chan, nor are you Liu Yifei or Ju Jingyi. Who's going to keep calling you a ghost all the time?" Zhang Ze clearly didn't believe it.
What's more, this is the Xicheng Police Station.
Only Master Guan remained.
How could Master Guan possibly think about supernatural things?
Wait a minute.
Zhang Ze suddenly stopped. In the video, Master Guan did see the words displayed on the honor roll on the wall, which showed that Kuai Liang, Li Sanbao, and Captain Yan were all dead.
It's understandable that they were frightened.
If it was from this point that Master Guan began to believe in ghosts...
"What's your name?" Zhang Ze changed the subject, intending to find out the ghost's identity.
"I have no idea……"
You don't even know your own name?
He spoke haltingly.
Zhang Ze looked troubled.
Could it be another Lingling?
Even Xu Yin, aside from crying out in pain, could at least understand Chen Ge's words. How come everyone I encounter seems to have something wrong with their brains? This is just too unlucky.
Why are you causing me trouble?
"Someone... misses me..."
Zhang Ze remained silent.
Well, it seems this ghost was born with a problem with its brain. It was probably like this when it was alive. It has very poor language skills, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Since there's no way to get the answer out of them.
Zhang Ze pondered for a moment.
"Since you cannot say it."
"Please give me your eyes, and I'll help you see what happened."
Zhang Ze's right eye has become a ghost eye, and he is still missing his left eye.
This ghost face just happens to have a left eye.
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
The other person seemed speechless, perhaps not quite understanding what was going on. "You've already gouged out one of my eyeballs, and you still want the other one?"
You're human!
"I...can't..."
"Then I'll stuff a million crows in there. You'd better pray I don't catch you. I'll gouge your eyes out with my beaks," Zhang Ze said. "Don't think I can't find you just because you're hiding in the cracks. If I want, the entire Xicheng Police Station is my territory."
grimace:……
A few seconds later.
An eyeball fell out of a crack in the ceiling.
Zhang Ze reacted quickly, grabbing the eyeball—it was Ghost Face's left eye.
Check it out.
There's nothing wrong with the cards.
Zhang Ze gouged out his left eye and replaced it with a ghost eye.
At this point, Zhang Ze's eyes had been completely transformed into those of a vengeful ghost. If Chen Ge's Yin Pupils were merely the yin-yang eyes possessed by the living, then Zhang Ze's Ghost Eyes were purely a part of the ghost itself.
After his eyes were replaced, Zhang Ze closed them tightly and only opened them again after a long time.
These eyes were bloodshot, displaying an eerie crimson hue, and would occasionally twitch strangely as they peered around.
Through these eyes.
Zhang Ze saw Master Guan at the door.
But at this moment, Master Guan's eyes were empty, and he stood blankly at the door, like a mindless wooden stake. Zhang Ze waved his hand in front of him, but Master Guan did not react at all.
"No...bird..."
The ghost face made a weak sound.
Zhang Ze scoffed, "You're hiding in this crevice, even the crows are lost and can't find the exit. You crawl out of here, and then I'll let the crows fly away."
The words fell.
Zhang Ze saw a deathly pale face squeeze out of the gap. The face belonged to a middle-aged man, and its surface was covered with dense wrinkles, revealing a face full of resentment and hatred.
Since both of the ghost's eyes had been gouged out, only empty eye sockets remained.
"Closer."
"Closer."
"Open your mouth, and I'll let the crows fly out."
Under Zhang Ze's patient and persuasive influence, the ghost face drew closer to the ground, and Zhang Ze could see it more clearly. This ghost had no body, not even a complete head, only a dry, withered face.
Considering the dead man's arm we encountered earlier in number 021.
Zhang Ze reasonably suspects that the missing media, numbered 008, happens to be a face, which is why it has some ability to speak. However, because it lacks a brain, it cannot form effective language and cannot remember anything.
As for which episode features the ghost's head, that's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"bird……"
The ghost face made a hoarse sound.
Zhang Ze directly shoved his hand into the mouth of the ghost face.
Ghost Face realized the danger and tried to break free, but it was too late.
Zhang Ze's hands were like a sponge, frantically absorbing the ghost face's skin. In just a few seconds, the ghost face completely shriveled up, turning into a thin skin that was absorbed into Zhang Ze's hands.
The Ghost Hand can eat ghosts and become stronger.
Like all the red-clad ghosts, Zhang Ze had previously eaten a female ghost at the Peace Hotel, and now he had eaten another one.
After eating the ghost face, Zhang Ze's eye strain and pain gradually lessened, and the frequency of his restless eye twitching also decreased, eventually settling down.
Eliminate the ghost faces.
Zhang Ze turned his gaze to Master Guan.
Master Guan still hasn't regained his senses.
Zhang Ze sighed. If he could ask Master Guan in person, he might be able to find out what happened inside the police station and even uncover the true nature of the missing media outlet.
Rest in peace.
"It was my miscalculation. Lost media have supernatural effects. I shouldn't have left you alone to repair the videotape, causing you to die such a tragic death."
Zhang Ze covered Master Guan's eyes, and Master Guan slowly took a few steps back, obediently making way for the exit, indicating that Zhang Ze could leave the police station.
Zhang Ze was not in a hurry to leave.
The mission requires us to stay until daytime, and it's only a little past 2 a.m. now.
The long night is just beginning.
"Since the dead can't talk, the surveillance footage in reality can't be faked, right?"
Zhang Ze left the technical department and went to the cyber police station of Xicheng Police Station. He had determined that the lost media with the number 008 was not real surveillance, but just footage seen by the ghost eye.
Perhaps the actual surveillance footage could reveal what Zhang Ze is looking for.
The desk in the cyber police department was covered with various monitors, most of which were connected to the police station's internal surveillance system, while others were connected to the surveillance systems in the canteen, parking lot, and dormitory.
Zhang Ze pulled up the surveillance video, and this time it finally made sense.
The displayed image has the time displayed in the upper right corner. Although the image quality is average, there are no occasional blackouts like blinking, confirming that it is genuine surveillance footage.
Set the time to 24:00.
Zhang Ze first saw the surveillance footage from the technical department.
Through the surveillance footage, Zhang Ze saw Master Guan sitting at the table, intently repairing the videotape. Everything was exactly the same as the lost media item numbered 008, except…
"Um?"
"The police uniform wasn't on the chair."
Zhang Ze noticed something strange. Master Guan was wearing an old-style police uniform, but he had clearly seen that uniform being thrown on the chair just now.
However, the surveillance footage showed that Mr. Guan was still wearing his uniform and did not take it off.
The footage from the surveillance camera did not match what Zhang Ze saw.
It couldn't be a trick. After Zhang Ze got the ghost eyes, he gradually got used to the ghost's eyes. He could even see and touch Master Guan, who was hidden in the video. A mere surveillance video couldn't possibly fool Zhang Ze.
Since it wasn't a deception, it means that when the ghost face appeared, some kind of change occurred inside the police station, creating an outer world and an inner world.
