One, two, three, four …
The number of Red Specters that the water ghost had seen in a few minutes was more than he had seen in the past ten years. He wanted to leave, but it was too late.
The corridor was swallowed by blood, and the resentment that was like a wave threatened to topple the roof.
"I am not interested in the door that you own, so there is no conflict of interest between us. If you want the door's approval to become the new door pusher, the easiest way is to kill the original door pusher, the ghost fetus. We have a common enemy now. " Chen Ge looked at the water ghost, who was surrounded by several Red Specters. "No matter how you look at it, we have a basis for cooperation. What do you think?"
"I …" The water ghost Red Specter's eyes that were filled with white moved rapidly. He looked around and realized that all the exits had been blocked. At that moment, several Red Specters were looking at him like he was food. "I think you have a point. We are not enemies, and we shouldn't be enemies. If we start a fight, it will only benefit the ghost fetus." "That's right.
"So, do you remember anything else now?"
"Yes, the altar is in the basement. I'll take you there."
Surrounded by several Red Specters, the water ghost led everyone into the basement.
The place was very humid, and there was a musty smell in the air. The corridor was filled with various trash, and two rusted bicycles were abandoned at the entrance.
"Many houses at Jiang Yuan Apartments have been rented out. Some of the tenants' belongings were left behind. If the landlord is reluctant to throw them away, they will leave them here."
The group reached the end of the corridor. At the corner of the wall at the end of the corridor, there was a wooden altar.
The inner wall of the altar was carved with the word 'death'. There were many spider webs and insect carcasses inside, but there was no mud statuette.
"Have Jia Ming and the rest been to the basement?"
"No." The water ghost's tone became gentler. "This altar was left behind by an old tenant. He sold his house to pay his debt. The new owner thought the altar was unlucky, so he wanted to throw it away, but he was afraid of offending the 'God' that lived inside the altar, so he placed it in the basement."
"Do you know where the family moved to?" Chen Ge did not expect things to go so smoothly. He had found another clue about another child.
"The night before they moved, I heard from the householder that they were going to send their children to a special school in Western Jiujiang, so I guess they went to Western Jiujiang."
"Child? Pei Zhi School? " Chen Ge was now even more certain that the child was one of the people he was looking for. "Do you still remember the child's face?"
"Yes."
"That makes things easier. For the next eight days, you will follow me. We will go and find the ghost fetus together." Chen Ge did not give the water ghost Red Specter much choice. In fact, he was not even asking for the water ghost Red Specter's opinion; he was telling him what to do.
"I cannot leave this place for too long. The door will become active at night. If I leave it alone for too long, the building will have an extra 14th floor." The water ghost hoped that Chen Ge would realize the severity of the problem.
"It's okay, I'll give you time to come back and close the door." Chen Ge invited the water ghost back into the comic. He stood before the altar and started to think about something else.
"The child corresponding to this altar is not the child who was with Gu Ming, so how did Gu Ming find this place? He can sense the location of the altar? He stayed in Jiujiang to look for other altars?
"If Gu Ming can really sense the location of the altar, then I have to find him as soon as possible!"
Chen Ge did not expect that the few Red Specters that he had missed would be able to help him solve this problem.
There was another Red Specter in the comic. Including the Red Specters in the costume, the number of Red Specters around Chen Ge had reached a scary level.
But even with so many Red Specters, Chen Ge still did not feel safe at all.
There was a gap between a baleful Specter and a Red Specter, and it was the same between a Red Specter and a Demon God.
To use a Red Specter to kill a Demon God, one had to come up with a detailed plan and make perfect use of the power of all the Red Specters.
"It's going to be another fulfilling night."
When Chen Ge left Jiang Yuan Apartments and hailed a cab to return to New Century Park, it was almost dawn.
After entering the Haunted House, Chen Ge still did not go to sleep. Instead, he summoned Meng Nan and Tong Tong to do a little experiment.
After a few more minutes, Chen Ge finally went to bed. He only slept for three or four hours before he quickly woke up to open the door for business.
After helping his employees with their make-up and giving them some simple instructions, Chen Ge grabbed his backpack and left the house.
"It feels like I've been meeting the boss less and less recently. Is it my imagination?"
"He seems to be busy with something else. We should focus on our work. When the boss comes back at night, we can ask him about it."
Running out from New Century Park, Chen Ge saw a taxi parked by the roadside. Without thinking too much about it, he walked over. Coincidentally, he had taken this taxi the night before.
"I'm going to hand in my car and get off work. Why don't you switch to another one?" The driver glanced at Chen Ge. "Brother, have we met somewhere before?"
"Perhaps. I prefer to take a taxi for a ride at night." Chen Ge opened the door and got in. "Eastern Jiujiang's futuristic theme park. Hurry up. Something big might happen if you're late."
…
At the entrance of the futuristic theme park, Chen Ge found the worker and explained his purpose. He wished to meet Jiang Ming. If it was not convenient for the man, it was fine. He would buy a ticket to go to the Haunted House to find him and livestream a few more times.
As the face of New Century Park, Chen Ge had been listed as a key target by the futuristic theme park. After the worker recognized him, he immediately ran toward the futuristic theme park.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ming, who was wearing the theme park's uniform, walked toward Chen Ge with a deep frown.
"You're looking for me?" Jiang Ming maintained his distance from Chen Ge. "This should be the first time we've met, right?"
"I have some things that I need to clarify." Chen Ge signaled for Jiang Ming to follow him. They came to a less crowded corner. "There is an old manor at the center of your Haunted House, and there is an altar placed inside it. Inside the altar is my decapitated mud statuette. I wish to ask you, what is the meaning of this?"
"How do you know that's your mud statuette? Is your name on it? Perhaps it's just a similarity. "
"It really does have my name on it." Chen Ge took out his phone. "I took a picture of it."
Jiang Ming's reaction was different from what Chen Ge expected. He did not seem to know that there was an old manor at the center of the Haunted House, and he did not know what the altar and the statuette represented. Of course, that could be his disguise.
"Perhaps it's a prank from one of the workers. We will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation." Jiang Ming's answer was basically no answer. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going back."
"Wait!"
"I will definitely help you deal with it, but please be patient. It's office hours now. Your New Century Park might be free, but we're very busy here." Jiang Ming just wanted to send Chen Ge away.
"Give me your contact number before you leave, or else I won't be able to find the person in charge next time." Chen Ge took out his phone and opened his WeChat QR code.
"Haha, you sure are an interesting person." Jiang Ming also took out his phone and scanned it symbolically.
After accepting the friend request, Jiang Ming shoved the phone back into his pocket. He did not notice the smile on Chen Ge's face, and he did not notice the two ghosts that were attached to his phone.
