Have you heard? Our male dormitory was haunted last night! One of the students who often bullied his roommates was so scared that he lost control of his bowels and peed! "
"How come I heard it was the female dormitory? The surveillance cameras were blocked by shadows, but one could see human faces running into the dormitory! A girl was found unconscious in the corridor by the dormitory manager early in the morning. She appeared to be sleepwalking! "
"Yes, yes, I saw someone being sent to the hospital this morning. The ambulance stopped at the female dormitory for quite a while. Now the version that everyone is talking about is that the student who often bullied her classmates was cursed! "
A few girls huddled together and chattered among themselves. The one who looked the prettiest among them did not interrupt, but her eyes were filled with disdain.
"Chen Wen, you should be more obedient for now. If you go looking for trouble again, you might run into a ghost tonight." A girl with a heavy voice and a more androgynous appearance told the student who had not spoken.
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Chen Wen crossed her arms before her chest. She stood at the back door like she was waiting for someone.
When the bell rang, and most of the students returned to their seats, a very plainly dressed female student stepped into the classroom.
She was dressed in rags and had not dressed up. Her eyes darted around like she did not dare to meet her deskmate Chen Wen's gaze.
After the first class ended, the girl did not go to the toilet. She sat in her seat like something bad would happen if she left the classroom.
"You seem to have a problem with me?" Chen Wen moved her chair to stand next to the girl. Without listening to the content of the conversation, just from their backs, one would think that they had a good relationship.
"No." The girl held a pen and flipped through her notes.
"I'm talking to you! Look at me, look at me! "Chen Wen placed her arm on the girl's shoulder." After school this afternoon, why don't we go out to play? It's Friday, so don't pretend to be a good girl every day. Don't you want to make friends? Let's go together, and we'll be friends from now on. "
"I have something to do tonight …"
"Then it's settled. If you dare to stand me up, I'll teach you a lesson." Chen Wen let go of her hand and took out her phone to chat with someone. Her deskmate gripped the pen in her hand tightly. She was afraid, but she didn't know who to talk to.
She didn't know what Chen Wen wanted her to do, but she knew it was definitely something bad. Without solid evidence, even if she told the teacher, the school wouldn't deal with Chen Wen.
Taking a step back, even if the school criticized Chen Wen, as long as she wasn't expelled from school, Chen Wen and her friends would definitely bully the girl even more.
This was the most painful point for the victims of school bullying. They were obviously the victims, but they still had to be isolated, and they might even have to bear the secondary harm from their family and school.
Thinking about Chen Wen's words, the girl couldn't even pay attention in class. She didn't dare to say a word and just stared at the textbook silently.
During the exercise break, the girl asked for leave from the teacher because she was not feeling well. She rested alone in the classroom.
"Should we tell Teacher? The girls who are pestered by Chen Wen either become her friends or transfer schools. Her family seems to be very powerful. " She hadn't followed her parents to Xin Hai for that long, but the girl felt a sense of inferiority from the bottom of her heart. "I can't give my parents any more trouble, but … what should I do?"
"Chang Feifei?"
The girl suddenly heard someone call her name. She turned to look, and there was a young man with a smile standing at the window of the classroom.
The sun shone on his body, and his smile was tinged with warmth.
"It should be her! Quick! Pull me back into the comic! My body is melting! " A shadow was begging and struggling behind the young man, but of course, the girl did not see that.
After pulling Chang Gu back into the comic, Chen Ge pushed open the back door of the classroom. "Don't be afraid, I'm here on someone's request to ask you to do something for me."
The girl was confused. She had no idea what Chen Ge was talking about.
"Have you ever had a dream like this before?" Chen Ge stood at the back door and whispered, "You dreamed of a blood red door, and behind the door was a school that only had classes at night. All the students and teachers at the school were ghosts. When you were at your wits' end, a female senior came to help you."
The girl seemed to remember something, and she was very surprised. "How did you know I had this dream before?"
"Do you still remember what condition you promised that female senior in your dream?" Chen Ge followed Chang Gu's instructions and guided the girl step by step.
"She helped me escape from the nightmare, and I was willing to help her look after something." The girl was very innocent.
"I am that female senior's friend. Now she wants me to help her retrieve that thing." Chen Ge did not look like a bad person. After a moment's hesitation, the girl undid the first button on her shirt and removed something that looked like a perfume pouch from her collar.
"I've always been curious, wondering whether it was a dream or not. If it was not a dream, then I have completely forgotten the actual memory, but if it was a dream, after I woke up from the dream, this thing appeared in my hands. " The girl opened the perfume pouch, and inside it was a red stone. Inside the stone was a strand of hair that had been twisted into a ball.
"This should be it." Chen Ge accepted the stone, and the Red Specters in the comic warned him at the same time like this thing was very dangerous. "Thank you. I'll take this thing with me. Your luck will slowly improve in the future."
Before the school's security arrived, Chen Ge took the stone and left Xin Hai First High School in a hurry.
"Chang Gu, I've gotten the thing. What should I do next?" Chen Ge stood under the shade of a tree with his backpack and seemed to be talking to himself.
"That strand of hair is my little sister's last lingering spirit, and the red stone is her heart's blood, the most important drop of blood for a Top Red Specter," a shadow behind Chen Ge said.
"You've given me such important information. Aren't you afraid that I'll have other Red Specters consume her?"
"Yes, but there's nothing I can do about it." Chang Gu had a bitter smile on his face. "Even if I don't say it, your other Red Specters will notice it."
"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. I hope you won't disappoint me again." Chen Ge tossed the red stone in his hand into the air, and it caused Chang Gu's heart to race. "With just lingering spirit and heart's blood, your little sister's soul can return?"
"She still needs to consume some baleful Specters, but I'm not sure how many exactly." Chang Gu lowered his head and did not dare look into Chen Ge's eyes.
"So, you guys want me to be your babysitter? I finally understand Chang Wenyu's plan. Her opponents are all in Jiujiang, so she chose a child from Xin Hai and hid her lingering spirit in her body. After she awakens, she can consume the ghosts in Xin Hai to recover her power, and when she fully recovers, she can return to Jiujiang. "
Chang Wenyu was very clever, but she had underestimated Zhang Ya's power. She did not expect that Chen Ge would carry a Demon God with him.
"Boss, at the School of the Afterlife, the two of us were indeed wrong. We hope that you can help her this time." Chang Gu even called him boss. In this period of time that they had spent together, his view of Chen Ge had been changing. He felt like Chen Ge was a trustworthy person.
"Don't worry." Chen Ge put the red stone away, and his brows creased. "If Chang Wenyu wants to awaken, she needs to feed baleful Specters. If my employees want to improve their power, they also need baleful Specters and Red Specters."
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge took out his phone and started to search for ghost stories related to Xin Hai.
He created a smurf account and snuck into a local supernatural forum. He found what he was looking for in one of the threads.
"A compilation of Xin Hai ghost stories! Choose the scariest ten ghost stories in Xin Hai that you think are the scariest! "
Chen Ge looked through the threads one by one. His pupils slowly narrowed as he silently recorded all the information.
Chang Gu, who stood next to him, did not dare say anything. When his boss flipped through the supernatural stories, it was like a customer flipping through a menu. The serious expression on his face made his hair stand on end.
"The thread is still updating. The latest reply was two minutes ago. I guess I managed to catch up with the livestream." Chen Ge saved the forum page. He had memorized the addresses of several ghost stories, and he planned to go there that night.
Returning to Nightmare Academy, Chen Ge did not have time to greet his employees and went straight to the headmaster's office.
He asked Chi Ren some more questions and confirmed some information about Doctor Fang and the man with the surname Chi before he left.
"Man proposes, God disposes. Xiao Sun, this time, you will definitely run into many kinds of danger, but I believe that you will be able to do it because you are different from the rest. "Chen Ge personally inspected the result of Xiao Sun's special training and then taught Xiao Sun some things.
After the sky turned dark, Chen Ge, who was fully prepared, brought the 'heavily injured' Xiao Sun to the countryside of Xin Hai.
The secret of the man with the surname Chi was only known to the man with the surname Chi, and this secret could not be shared.
Due to the curse of the Demon God, once the man with the surname Chi leaked the secret, not only would he die, the Demon God would also know about the situation here.
The cursed hospital did not expect the red high heels to inherit everything from the ghost fetus and become a Top Red Specter. Now this loophole was being exploited by Chen Ge.
He created an accident for the man with the surname Chi, who lived in the countryside, and very coincidentally, he ran into Patient 101, Xiao Sun, who was about to lose his soul.
After gaining the trust of the man with the surname Chi, Chen Ge watched with his own eyes as the man with the surname Chi brought Xiao Sun out of Xin Hai.
The place that he went was the junction between Xin Hai and Jiujiang. There were large wastelands and ghost buildings there, and they had been abandoned for many years.
For some reason, after sending Xiao Sun away, Chen Ge gave a long sigh of relief. "God helps the good. Hopefully, Xiao Sun will be able to make a name for himself at the cursed hospital."
"Next, I need to improve the power of my employees as soon as possible and try to turn the red high heels into a Demon God as well." It was very difficult for a Red Specter to become a Demon God, but Chen Ge had no other choice. Only when the red high heels became a Demon God would he have the right to challenge the cursed hospital.
Logging back into the supernatural forum that he had visited in the morning, Chen Ge realized that the thread was still being updated. The supernatural enthusiasts on the forum had gotten into an argument about the ranking of ghost stories. No one was willing to give in to the other, and in the end, some even decided to livestream themselves.
"This is a big city after all. It sure is lively." There was a similar forum in Jiujiang, but the number of active users was pitifully small. In terms of population, the two cities were not even on the same level.
"The more people a place has, the more despair there will be, and the more ghost stories there will be. Theoretically speaking, that is true, but Jiujiang is obviously an exception."
Chen Ge also realized that the number of ghost stories in Jiujiang had reached an abnormal level.
If a city was compared to a person, then Jiujiang was like Sun Xiaojun — they were loved by thousands of Specters.
"I've been in Xin Hai for so many days. It's about time I pay them a visit."
Chen Ge hailed a cab to his destination based on the ranking of Xin Hai's ghost stories on the forum.
"Sir, please drive faster. I'm in a hurry. I need to go to a few places tonight."
…
At 11 pm, Chen Ge had already visited three of the top ten ghost stories in Xin Hai, but he did not find anything.
He also slowly realized that the more famous the ghost stories, the lower the chance of a hidden Red Specter.
This was because if a Red Specter really appeared in a ghost story, there would be no survivors.
Without survivors, naturally, there would be no witnesses, and the ghost story itself would not spread.
With the attitude that he would rather kill a thousand than let one go, Chen Ge recorded all the ghost stories on the forum.
Among them, he did find a few more unique ghost stories. The description was not very detailed, but he could see descriptions like bloody clothes and red.
"Xin Hai's Ghost Story Ranking No.27 — The Crying Well at the Development Zone. It is a dry well, but the sound of crying comes from it. There are also witnesses who say that they can see bloody hair poking out from the well after midnight. This sounds quite interesting. It's worth a visit. "
The phone was placed on his knees. Chen Ge was still holding a pen and paper in his hands, jotting down notes. Those who did not know better would think that he was writing a review or something like that.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ge arrived at a construction site at the development zone. Due to many reasons, the construction suddenly stopped. The well was at the foot of the mountain behind the construction site.
Walking through the bushes and trees, Chen Ge finally found the well.
It was made of stone, and not far from the well were a few old, empty houses.
"This should be the place." Before Chen Ge got close, he heard the sound of crying. "It's coming from the well?"
There was a special power in the crying. Chen Ge's body seemed to have lost control as he slowly walked toward the well.
The pale moonlight shone on the well. Chen Ge looked into the well, and there were endless black hair flowing like water.
Without any communication, the black hair curled around Chen Ge's neck, trying to pull him into the well!
"You were the one who started it!"
His palm flipped through the comic. The moonlight turned red, and the blood flowed backward into the well.
Moments later, the Red Specter holding Chang Wenyu's blood stone reappeared beside Chen Ge. "There is only a Half Red Specter inside the well, but it appears to have been cursed. It has completely lost its mind, and it seems to have forgotten its obsession when it was alive."
"Is it cursed?" Now, whenever the curse was mentioned, Chen Ge would be reminded of that hospital.
"After the blood heart consumed a Half Red Specter, its color only darkened slightly. I believe it will need to consume at least two Red Specters before it will wake up. Other than that, there are some things written at the bottom of the well. I think you should go and take a look yourself. "
The Red Specter and Xu Yin led Chen Ge into the old well. At the bottom of the well, they found a cenotaph. Among the well-preserved clothes was a patient's record, and there was a sentence written on the back of the record. 'This is a sickened world. Why haven't you realized it? I will definitely cure you! '
"This sentence again?" Chen Ge had seen this sentence at Lan Xiaochen's home before. "This is a sickened world. Why haven't you realized it? I feel like this sentence is meant for me. "
Putting away the patient's record, Chen Ge climbed out of the old well. "Let's not think about it for now. I need to prepare for the next ghost story."
