Arriving at Coffin Village again, Chen Ge was excited. Last time, he had only taken away a small portion of the ghosts, and most of them had escaped.
Coffin Village was different from other scenarios. Most of the ghosts here were related to the folklore, and they were very unique.
My completion rate for the Trial Mission in Coffin Village is very low. I only took a look at the door before leaving. I didn't explore it too deeply. Perhaps the door hides the secret of the well ghost.
The well ghost had existed for a long time. She was very mysterious and knew many secrets. She seemed to have entered the deeper part of the red city through the blood door.
The night breeze blew, but Chen Ge did not feel creepy; he only felt refreshed.
With Jiang Ling's sister leading the way, Chen Ge once again entered Coffin Village.
He dragged Doctor Skull Cracker's hammer and held the comic in his hand. Like a worker in charge of a census, he went from house to house to check.
Every family in Coffin Village had a coffin in the main hall to worship their ancestors. There was nothing wrong with that, but due to the existence of the ghost from the well, these traditions had been twisted. Combined with the influence of the door, it led to the appearance of this unique scenario in Coffin Village.
The people living in the big city would not expect such a 'paradise' to exist in the middle of nowhere.
It has been so long, but Coffin Village hasn't changed at all.
Revisiting this place, Chen Ge sighed. Looking at the rewards that he had gained in the comic, he was quite satisfied.
From the front of the village to the center, the white lanterns on the front door swayed anxiously. More and more shadows appeared at the small square in the middle of the village.
The villagers gathered together, but they did not seem to be welcoming Chen Ge. All of them had dark expressions on their faces.
History was strikingly similar. When Chen Ge first entered Coffin Village, something similar had happened, but it was not him and the villagers who were fighting at the square.
"A few of them look quite familiar." Chen Ge and Jiang Ling's sister took a step forward. "Don't act like you don't dare to speak up. There is no deep hatred between us. The last time I came here, I was chased by all of you."
When Chen Ge spoke, the Red Specters surrounded him to protect him.
The villagers became a lot more "obedient", looking like they were simple and honest.
The door of the house on the other side of the village was pushed open, and a woman wearing various accessories walked out. Her surname was Zhu, and she was one of the people that the ghost trusted the most. Normally, she was the one who managed the village.
"Hello, we meet again." Chen Ge and the employees turned to look at Ms. Zhu. She had a troubled expression on her face, but in the end, she squeezed out a smile.
"Chen Ge, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The woman surnamed Zhu braced herself and said.
"Jiang Ling is fine. Don't worry." Chen Ge chatted with Jiang Ling for a while before slowly revealing his real purpose. "Actually, I'm here today to discuss something with the Red Specters from your village. Don't worry, it's just to discuss something."
The villagers huddled together, and Ms. Zhu's brows were deeply furrowed. Those who did not know the inside story would think this was some unscrupulous developer who wanted to demolish the ancestral home and take over the land.
Looking at the Red Specters behind Chen Ge, the woman surnamed Zhu hesitated before telling the truth. "Ever since she appeared last time, she hasn't come out from behind the door again. The ghost baby has been taken away."
There were two Red Specters in Coffin Village. The ghost from the well was immeasurably powerful, but she was heavily injured when she tried to reincarnate. The ghost baby was not that powerful, only slightly stronger than Meng Nan.
"Looks like she might have run into some trouble behind the door." Chen Ge thought about it. "There's no other choice. It's going to be midnight soon. If she can't come out, we can only go behind the door to look for her."
If not for the fact that he had been busy, Chen Ge would have gone back to Coffin Village to take a look.
"That's not a good idea, is it?" For the villagers of Coffin Village, the woman from the well was the village's god. Just like how the ancient people worshipped the river god, they often held rituals, and the door was the place where the 'god' lived.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Once we've made things clear, there won't be any more misunderstandings." Chen Ge remembered the location of the door. He had a good memory.
After getting the permission from Ms. Zhu, Chen Ge carried his backpack and followed his employees to the well ghost's home and found the door.
When midnight arrived, with the help of a few Red Specters, he pushed the door open and entered.
A thick blood fog covered his whole body. Chen Ge's pupils narrowed, and he soon noticed that something was wrong.
"How is this possible?"
Coffin Village behind the door had been leveled!
There were scary claw marks everywhere, and there were marks left behind by countless chains!
"Coffin Village behind the door has been destroyed?"
Chen Ge could not believe his eyes. He had the Red Specters stand guard beside him and be on high alert.
"Blood vessels and curses have soaked the ground. Just standing here makes one feel very uneasy." Chen Ge studied the place for a long time. His eyes moved between the chains, the lingering curses, and the blood vessels. "Is this Doctor Gao's doing? I saw him once in Li Wan City. At the time, he was hugging his wife's head, and his whole body was bound by black chains. "
When Doctor Gao was in Li Wan City, he was already a Top Red Specter. He had shared the shadow's heart with Zhang Ya, so perhaps he had become a Demon God like Zhang Ya.
"The Society of Strange Tales did come to Coffin Village before, but due to my interference, they failed …"
The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more he believed that the killer was Doctor Gao, but he could not understand why Doctor Gao, who was already a Top Red Specter, would come to Coffin Village.
"Could it be that the woman in the well really has mastered the method to revive the dead? Be it when he was alive or after he died, Doctor Gao wanted to revive his wife. That was his biggest obsession, and he would do anything for this obsession. "
Human nature was complicated, but sometimes, it could be simple. Doctor Gao was the best example.
He was the best psychologist in Jiujiang and also the scariest madman in Jiujiang.
Standing on top of the ruins, Chen Ge's expression kept changing. "When I was doing the mission at Coffin Village, I ran into the people from the Society of Strange Tales. One of them was Wu Fei, and the other should be Doctor Gao, who was carrying his wife's body. At the time, Doctor Gao was fighting outside, and after Wu Fei entered the door, this arrangement did not seem wrong. It made perfect sense … "
If the suspect was not Doctor Gao, Chen Ge would not have wasted his brain thinking about it.
"Could it be that Doctor Gao predicted this would happen to him? Has he been preparing to become a Red Specter since a long time ago? After Wu Fei was brought into Coffin Village by the woman in the well, he became the key for the woman to understand the Society of Strange Tales, but he also became the key for Doctor Gao to confirm the location behind the door of Coffin Village. "The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more afraid he became." That's right! Before Doctor Gao committed suicide, he purposely ran into the door at my Haunted House and carved the picture of the devil on the door. That can be considered as a set of coordinates that he left behind! "
"The plan started when he was alive, and he carried it out after he died. This is a plan that spans the whole city and transcends life and death?"
Goosebumps rose on Chen Ge's neck. "What is Doctor Gao up to? How many secrets does he know? "
This former leader of the Society of Strange Tales made Chen Ge nervous.
If this was someone else, perhaps Chen Ge would try to capture them and use various methods to force them to reveal the truth, but that would not work on Doctor Gao.
However, this method would not work on Doctor Gao. In fact, even after he found out about Doctor Gao's real identity, he did not dare to think too deeply about Doctor Gao's words because the latter might unknowingly reverse brainwash him.
For people like Doctor Gao who were smarter than him, Chen Ge's plan was to ignore them. If he could capture them, he would have Zhang Ya consume them.
"If Doctor Gao has recovered his rationality, the situation will become even more complicated."
Chen Ge knew that he was very close to the truth, but it was at a time like this that he had to be more careful. "All the secrets are intertwined, and everyone has their own obsession. Some will win, and some will lose."
Together with his employees, he searched Coffin Village behind the door. Chen Ge did not find anything related to the well woman or the ghost baby. Coffin Village was about to be assimilated by the blood fog, like the memory that created this scenario was slowly disappearing.
Thankfully, the door to Coffin Village was about to collapse, and Chen Ge's group could easily return the way they came.
"The woman in the well might have been to that red city, and Doctor Gao might have been there as well. They must know something."
Before coming to Coffin Village, no one expected something like this to happen. After the fruitless search, Chen Ge left the world behind the door with the help of many Red Specters.
The Zhu woman stood outside the door. From her perspective, Chen Ge had only gone in for a while. "Did you see her?"
Chen Ge naturally knew who the Zhu woman was talking about. He closed the door and made sure the villagers outside could not hear him before he said, "I'll tell you a very unfortunate news. Coffin Village behind the door has been leveled, and there are curses and blood stains everywhere. I did not find the woman."
"You didn't find her?" The Zhu woman's expression shifted.
"Don't worry. She might have gone somewhere else, but you'd better not tell anyone about this." Chen Ge sighed. "Since I couldn't find her, I have some questions that I can only ask you."
"Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know." After knowing that the well woman was not behind the door, the Zhu woman's attitude became better.
"The woman had a hard life when she was alive, and she could not find peace after her death. Therefore, she has been trying to reincarnate. As the person who knows her the most in the village, do you know what she has done for her reincarnation?" Chen Ge was curious himself.
"I don't know the details, but I heard from my great-grandmother that as long as I prepare a coffin to bury her past and a new body, she will not trouble me."
"A coffin to bury the past? A new body? "
"Yes, that coffin will bury all the memories and misfortunes. After the coffin is buried, you will lose everything. In other words, from that moment onward, you will no longer be yourself." The Zhu woman thought back to what her great-grandmother had once said. "The body that holds new life refers to newborns. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that every ten years, the village will choose a girl with no defects and place her in this room."
"Place the girl inside the room where the 'door' is? You let a baby be alone with a Red Specter? "
"She is as gentle as a mother before the baby, but before other people …" The Zhu woman glanced at the door inside the room and did not dare continue.
"I think I get it now. For the well woman, there are two conditions for her to reincarnate. First, she has to bury her past completely, and second, she has to have a suitable body." Chen Ge stood inside the room. Everything that had happened in Li Wan City had finally connected. "The so-called Various that I've heard in Eastern Jiujiang is about planting a soul into another child's heart. The cases in Eastern Jiujiang should be the ghost fetus' experiments."
For the ghost fetus, the body that welcomed him was one of the nine children that he had chosen.
The well woman could only be chosen from Coffin Village, so she had failed, but the ghost fetus had chosen the whole of Jiujiang, so he might succeed.
With regards to the coffin that buried the past, this hint reminded Chen Ge of something that had happened in Eastern Jiujiang.
When he was doing the mission related to Various at Eastern Jiujiang Dam, he had discovered a floating coffin at the bottom of the dam.
Inside the coffin were many mannequins with names carved on them. At the time, the water ghost that he was looking for was inside the coffin. (See Chapter 591 and Chapter 592 for details.)
The scariest thing was that there was a large hole under the coffin. It was unclear where it led to, but Chen Ge remembered very clearly that Xu Yin had been urging him to leave.
"The past of the ghost fetus is buried inside the coffin?"
Chen Ge did not think that a coffin was enough to bury a Demon God's past. He believed that the ghost fetus' past was probably buried inside the hole at the bottom of the river.
"That is a very important piece of information!"
Chen Ge asked the Zhu woman some more questions and then left Coffin Village with Jiang Ling's sister.
Excluding tonight, he only had one night left, so he needed to hurry to Eastern Jiujiang Dam to take a look.
Crossing the mountains, when Chen Ge returned to Jiujiang, it was already dawn.
He hurried to Eastern Jiujiang Dam. The place was very deserted, and no taxi was willing to go there. The journey took up some more time.
It was not until 7 am that Chen Ge finally reached his destination. When he got out of the taxi, his body was about to collapse from exhaustion.
The ghost fetus mission had lasted for nine nights. In these nine days, Chen Ge had entered several doors. This kind of exhaustion was not only physical but also mental.
With the river breeze blowing, Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked toward the dam.
The air here was very fresh. The only drawback was that it was very deserted and deserted.
Based on his memory, Chen Ge found the manager's room. He was about to knock on the door when he saw a mother carrying a child over the dam's railing.
The mother held her child's hand and looked at the dark water quietly.
"What are they doing?" Chen Ge was worried that they might do something rash, so he ran over.
