Chapter 17: Zhang Ze's Resurrection
Chapter 17: Zhang Ze's Resurrection
Take care of the things in the world depicted in the painting.
Zhang Ze completely shut the door.
The world behind the door is, after all, a world full of bloodshed and despair. After Zhang Ze stitched up the ghost hand, he did not completely control the world behind the door, but only completely controlled the door and Lingling's unique crows.
Returning to reality from the world behind the door.
Zhang Ze first heard a group of people chattering, followed by Madam Zhou's crying.
"My son went missing, but this young man helped me find him. I'm very grateful to him, but I really don't know how he died. My husband is dead too; it's all because of that painting!"
"Madam, please calm down. We are only getting a preliminary understanding of the situation."
"I know, I will tell you everything, but please get rid of this painting. It killed my husband, almost killed my son, and now it has killed Zhang Ze."
"But madam, this is a classic locked-room murder. No one else has entered this bedroom except for you."
Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Ze felt his back was cold and stiff. He was lying on the floor, and a policeman wearing a mask was preparing a stretcher to lift him into the car.
Seeing Zhang Ze open his eyes.
They were immediately terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.
Holy crap!!
"The dead have come back to life!!"
The police officer was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Zhang Ze sat up, looked around, and found that the bedroom was full of police officers, and the scene was cordoned off. Madam Zhou was holding Xiao Zhou and crying.
Li Sanbao was carrying a small notebook, seemingly trying to understand the situation. When he saw Zhang Ze straighten up from the floor, he was equally shocked, staring at him for a long time before finally uttering a single sentence.
"Are you... a human or a ghost?"
"Nonsense, of course it's a person. There are no ghosts in this world."
Zhang Ze sprang to his feet with a somersault, exclaiming, "Look at me, I'm perfectly fine! I can run and jump, nothing's wrong, and I have a great appetite!"
Li Sanbao looked at him strangely.
Half an hour earlier, he received a report that a new body had been found in an affluent area in the western suburbs.
He remembered that address. The police station had responded to a call just a week ago. The husband of a family of three had suddenly died, and no wounds could be found on his body. It was rumored that he had been killed by a cursed oil painting.
After searching for a while, they couldn't find any clues and the matter was dropped.
As a result, Zhang Ze died again at the same location.
Li Sanbao certainly remembered Zhang Ze; they had met at the Peace Hotel in the western suburbs just yesterday, and now trouble had struck.
Upon arrival at the scene, the body was examined.
Zhang Ze's body was cold, with no pulse or respiration. The cause of death could not be determined; it could be poisoning, cardiac arrest, or some other cause of sudden death.
He died in the exact same way as Old Zhou.
Two people from the same household died within a week?
This matter cannot be explained by a simple accident.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Is it so strange that the dead come back to life? It's not like science can't explain it!"
Zhang Ze looked at him with an expression that suggested he was making a fuss over nothing.
Li Sanbao couldn't hold back any longer.
Dude, you were already on your deathbed, about to be sent to the morgue for cremation, and then you told me you came back to life?
"Well, strictly speaking, there is indeed a scientific basis for the resurrection of the dead. There have been reports of cases where people were put into a state of suspended animation, and their heartbeat and breathing were restored during a wake, and they were resurrected."
"This is why, according to folk tradition, a person's body should be kept for seven days after death, in order to avoid the possibility of a false death."
"The Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, also states that Chen Jiao, a Wu citizen, emerged from the ground seven days after his death, so it is not a particularly difficult thing to explain."
An older policeman next to Li Sanbao adjusted his glasses and said in a somewhat uneasy tone.
"Alright, even so, you still need to explain what happened. Otherwise, if you die for no reason and then come back to life, it will be difficult for us to write the police report." Li Sanbao looked at Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze thought for a moment.
"You guys wrote that I stayed up all night running and eating ice cream, that my heart stopped temporarily, and that I've recovered now."
He obviously made up this reason on the spot.
He wasn't even sure if his current state could be considered truly alive.
He had already died once.
However, after death, he took control of Lingling's supernatural abilities, thus successfully returning to reality through possession of her body.
Li Sanbao stared at Zhang Ze for a while.
It's confirmed that it's not much different from what I remembered.
"Alright, let's call it a day then."
"Don't forget that Wang Qi from Ping An Apartment is still on the run. He's an unstable factor and we must deal with him as soon as possible."
Li Sanbao ordered the troops to retreat.
Zhang Ze heard these words.
He immediately understood what had happened.
It seems that things went quite smoothly on Chen Ge's end tonight.
Now that they've successfully taken down Ping An Apartment, it's time for Zhang Ze's haunted house and Chen Ge's haunted house to clash head-on.
Chen Ge's Ping An Apartment.
Zhang Ze's Crow's Nest.
Which is better or worse is for the tourists to decide!
The police left, and Zhang Ze saw Mrs. Zhou holding Xiao Zhou, who waved to Zhang Ze.
"Brother! You're back!"
Will my sister still come to teach me to draw?
"Yes, she can come to you anytime you want," Zhang Ze said with a smile. "I'm the owner of a haunted house. You're welcome to come find me at New Century Amusement Park in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City."
Upon hearing the words "haunted house," Mrs. Zhou seemed to recall something. "I went to that haunted house with Old Zhou before. I think it was owned by a man surnamed Chen. Were you an employee of that haunted house?"
"No, I'm the gravedigger of that haunted house."
……
morning.
New Century Amusement Park, located in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. The boss will be here soon. You can go and visit the other attractions in the amusement park first." Xu Wan maintained order at the entrance of the haunted house.
"Stop saying anything. We watched the live stream last night. We need to see them alive or dead!"
"Exactly! If we can't find you, be careful we'll report you for false advertising!"
"False advertising? Do you think that's an act? It's obviously a real psychopathic killer. The owner of this haunted house is ruthless. I won't feel at ease if I don't come and support him!"
The discussion grew louder, and Uncle Xu joined in to help Xu Wan maintain order.
They all knew what had happened last night.
Chen Ge started his live stream again, performing a cat-and-mouse game inside the Ping An Apartment, and even stumbled upon the Ping An Apartment massacre case from years ago.
Such realistic sensory stimulation.
This naturally attracted a group of tourists who loved watching the excitement.
They bought tickets early in the morning and waited at the entrance of the haunted house, determined not to give up until they saw Chen Ge.
"Whoosh!"
Chen Ge pulled open the safety barrier and walked to the front of the stage with a bright smile on his face: "Sorry to keep you all waiting. The haunted house tour is 20 yuan per person, couples get a 20% discount. No cheating, everyone please line up."
I chatted with my viewers about what happened last night.
Chen Ge appeared calm on the surface, but was actually quite proud inside.
He completed the trial mission at Ping An Apartment and obtained Wang Qi's missing person notice, thus unlocking a new scenario: Midnight Escape.
That is, Ping An Apartment.
The black phone perfectly recreated the scene of the Ping An Apartment in the haunted house, and rewarded him with a skull-crushing doctor's uniform. His haunted house is now on the right track.
He spotted several familiar faces in the crowd.
Heshan, Gao Ruxue, and several students wearing the uniforms of Hanjiang Forensic Medical College.
