When he arrived at Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine, Chen Ge called Gao Ru Xue's number, but there was no answer.
After asking the teacher, he found out that Gao Ru Xue had applied for a long leave. She had not been to school for a long time.
"My mother was killed by that hospital, and my father disappeared after committing an unforgivable crime. Gao Ru Xue's heart must be tormented."
Gao Ru Xue refused to answer, so Chen Ge had no choice but to go to her home.
After knocking for several minutes, Gao Ru Xue finally opened the door. She looked very haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight.
"Chen Ge?"
"Do you have time to come in for a chat?" Chen Ge carried his backpack. He had not slept for the whole night. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked tired. "I have something to tell your father, but to find him, I need your help."
Nodding lightly, Gao Ru Xue allowed Chen Ge into the room.
The room was covered in dust. It looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time, but it did not look that messy.
"I also want to see him, but I don't know where he is now." Gao Ru Xue sat on the sofa. Even though a long time had passed, whenever she mentioned her father, her expression would still change.
"I need some of your blood." Chen Ge did not want to explain too much, so he cut to the chase.
"Blood?" Gao Ru Xue slowly raised her lowered head. She looked at Chen Ge with confusion and then extended her arm toward Chen Ge. "Using my blood, you can find out where my father is?"
"It might not work. I'm just giving it a try."
Hearing what Chen Ge said, Gao Ru Xue's eyes dimmed, but she did not pull her arm back. "If you manage to find him, remember to tell him that I miss him very much."
"Okay." Chen Ge had Gao Ru Xue close her eyes and then summoned the red high heels.
The black curse that was like steel needles entered Gao Ru Xue's body and extracted a drop of blood from Gao Ru Xue's heart.
"You can open your eyes now." Chen Ge looked at the pale Gao Ru Xue and promised, "I will pass on your words to Dr. Gao. I will also do my best to help your family."
After leaving Gao Ru Xue's house, Chen Ge received a piece of good news.
Through casting a curse on the white cat's blood vessels and Gao Ru Xue's heart, the red high heels had successfully sensed an extremely scary presence. Based on Chen Ge's speculation, the monster that was giving off a scary presence should be Doctor Gao.
Being able to sense it is a good thing. Perhaps after I enter the world behind the door, this sense will become even stronger.
After leaving the residential area, Chen Ge ran to Jiujiang's Children's Home to retrieve a drop of Fan Yu's blood.
After everything was settled, he quietly returned to New Century Park and woke Ol 'Wu up before the visitors arrived.
"Brother Wu, wake up. It is time for us to return to Xin Hai."
Ol 'Wu, who was sleeping soundly, was shaken awake. He looked at Chen Ge with sleepy eyes. He looked like he did not know who he was or where he was.
"Yesterday, I asked you to come with me to Jiujiang to retrieve something. Have you forgotten?"
"Yes, I do remember." Ol 'Wu scratched his head.
"Let's get ready to go. I have done what I came here to do." Chen Ge placed the white cat in the backseat of the car. He had done everything that he needed to do. The next step was to deal with the cursed hospital and find out the whereabouts of his parents.
The car left New Century Park, and they returned to Xin Hai when the sun was at its strongest.
"Brother Wu, do not drive this car on the road anymore. Other than that, tell Mr Wang not to go out at night. It would be best if the two of you stay at a place with a lot of people." Chen Ge was worried that the car would be targeted by the cursed hospital, so he reminded Ol 'Wu.
"Okay."
Ol 'Wu dropped Chen Ge at Nightmare Academy and then left in a hurry.
Chen Ge carried his backpack and hugged the white cat as he pushed open the door to Nightmare Academy. Once he stepped into the room, he felt that something was wrong.
Due to the fact that it was not open for business, the central air conditioner was not turned on, but at that moment, the haunted house was unusually cold.
"Xiao Die? Zhang Jingjiu? "
A very bad feeling rose in his heart. Chen Ge flipped open the comic and summoned out the few Red Specters.
"Search the whole building!"
Chen Ge's tone was serious. He did not walk into the scenario but stood at the door. If anything went wrong, he would escape immediately.
Half a minute later, Meng Nan appeared before Chen Ge. "There is no one inside the haunted house."
"Did something come here last night?" Chen Ge was very worried about the safety of the haunted house's employees.
"We did not sense any trace of other baleful Specters, but something did come in last night." Meng Nan pointed at the entrance. "Come take a look at this."
Surrounded by several Red Specters, Chen Ge walked to the entrance. The wooden door that led into the scenario was covered in paper notes, and each paper had a sentence written on it.
"This is a sickened world. Why haven't you realized that? I will cure you! "
Densely packed notes were pasted all over the wooden door, looking very frightening.
"It's the work of that hospital." Chen Ge thought back to a detail. When he returned to Nightmare Academy after hunting down a Red Specter, he had felt a gaze from Ten Li Xiang Deli following him.
Perhaps from that moment on, he had already been targeted.
"Let's go to Ten Li Xiang Deli."
It was just past lunchtime, so there were not many customers at the deli. Chen Ge led the few Red Specters to the door.
"What can I do for you?" The worker walked over very passionately. Chen Ge ignored him and opened the door to the counter.
"Hey!" This was the first time that the worker had encountered such a rude and unreasonable person. He was about to say something when his body lost its energy, and he collapsed on the chair.
There was no time to waste. Chen Ge did not want to waste time on pointless things. He walked into the kitchen and saw the owner, who was pouring something into a large jar of sauce — Chi Longtou.
"Zhang Yi!"
Without wasting any time, when Chi Longtou saw Chen Ge, Zhang Yi had already crawled into his body.
Ten seconds later, Zhang Yi crawled out from the back of Chi Longtou's head, and his face was pale. "The other party seems to know that I can look through his memory. His memory has been tampered with, and I cannot find any useful information."
The cursed hospital realized that Chen Ge had a Specter who could look through his memory, so they had tampered with Chi Longtou's memory. Chen Ge had suspected that the Demon God with the surname Chi could look through a living person's memory, so he did not tell any of his living employees that Chi Ren was hiding inside his haunted house. He had Chi Ren stay inside the headmaster's office.
A battle between experts was all about the details.
"Even if the cursed hospital has taken away my employees, they will not be able to get any useful information from their living employees' memory. But with the cursed hospital's personality, if I cannot find Zhang Jingjiu and Xiao Die as soon as possible, their lives will be in danger."
Be it his living employees or Specters, Chen Ge treated them like family. Now that his family had been kidnapped, he would not be able to sit still.
Returning to Nightmare Academy, Chen Ge summoned all the Red Specters from the comic. He did not miss a single spot and started a carpet search.
After about half an hour, Chen Ge did make a new discovery.
He found a cursed letter inside Xiao Die's room. The content of the letter was pieced together using words that had been cut out from newspapers.
Words of various sizes were pasted on the paper, and it looked incredibly strange.
"This appears to be some kind of cursed game?
"I held the hands of seven friends and came to the hospital. Mother said that the patient was among us, and whoever did not smile was the patient.
"Good friends, bad friends, all of them started to smile.
"I held the hands of seven friends and came to the hospital. Father said that mother was sick, and he told me to wait outside the sickroom.
"Good friends, bad friends, all of them turned to look at mother. They said that none of them would leave this place alive tonight.
"I held the hands of seven friends and came to the hospital. The doctor said that our father and mother had died inside the hospital.
"Good friends, bad friends, all of them heard what the doctor said. They said that they would never come to the hospital to play with me after midnight again."
After reading the letter, Chen Ge did not fully understand what it was trying to convey. "It was left behind by a non-smiler?"
Turning the letter over, Chen Ge noticed that there was a very blurry picture of a human face on the back of the letter. If he looked closer, he could see several words written on the face — You are my seventh friend.
"I am the seventh friend? A total of seven people received this letter last night? Is this some kind of cursed game invitation? "
Chen Ge put the cursed letter away. After he confirmed that there were no more clues, he took out his phone to call the police.
"Captain Cai! I was attacked by criminals! All three of my employees disappeared last night! "
When they received Chen Ge's call, the police did not even have the time to react. From their perspective, no matter how arrogant the culprit was, they would not come to the biggest shopping district in Xin Hai to commit a crime, and the number of people who had disappeared in one night was as high as three.
"We will be there in a minute! Be careful! "
In just ten minutes, two police cars stopped at the entrance to Nightmare Academy.
"Captain Cai! Come and take a look at this door! " Chen Ge grabbed Captain Cai's arm and ran to the entrance of the Haunted House. The densely packed notes on the door shocked the police.
"When did you realize that your employees have disappeared?"
"I returned to the Haunted House this afternoon, and when I entered the door, I realized that the employees on duty had not come to work because they normally live inside the Haunted House. I called them again, but there was still no answer. Then, I saw this door!" Chen Ge sounded anxious. "These employees followed me from Jiujiang to earn money, but before they could earn anything, they were targeted by the criminals. It is my fault that they have been dragged down by me! The criminal must know that I am investigating him, and that is why he is using this method to take revenge on me! "
"There is no need for you to blame yourself. Weren't you at the Haunted House last night?" Captain Cai felt like there was something wrong with this case.
"Originally, I planned to open the Haunted House in three days. Last night, I returned to Jiujiang to grab some props. Ol 'Wu from Jiujiang Station can testify that it was he who drove me away. The surveillance along the road should have caught me." Chen Ge was very sad. "The real target of the criminals is me! If I did not get involved in this case, they would not have been targeted! "
"Mr. Chen, please don't think that way. It is already amazing that you were brave enough to step forward and expose the criminals. Now that your employees have disappeared, technically speaking, this is our fault. "Captain Cai wanted to console Chen Ge, but he did not know where to start.
"Captain Cai, there is definitely more than one killer. They were able to make three of my employees disappear at the same time, so they should be part of a group!"
"Yes, we are also looking into that direction."
"I'm afraid there are more than three of my employees who disappeared last night. They have been planning this for a long time." Chen Ge came to this conclusion because of the cursed letter. The letter said that he was the seventh friend, so in other words, there were probably seven cursed letters. "Captain Cai, the criminals have already come to find me. They have definitely investigated me. Now, the only people I can rely on are you."
"Don't worry, I will arrange for people to stay around your Haunted House. If they dare come again, they will definitely be captured."
"After causing such a big commotion, they will not come to my Haunted House in a short period of time. This case concerns the lives of three of my employees. Can I join you in the investigation?" The cursed hospital had existed in Xin Hai for more than twenty years. The police definitely had some cases related to the hospital. Chen Ge wanted to use the police's information to understand the hospital from all angles.
He knew the truth of certain things, so his perspective was different from the Xin Hai police. The same case would lead to different conclusions.
"I cannot make the decision on this." Captain Cai rejected him in a roundabout way.
"It's fine." Chen Ge did not force the issue. "The criminals have kidnapped three living people, so it will be very inconvenient for them to move around. They will definitely make their next move tonight. You have to be careful."
Captain Cai felt uncomfortable listening to Chen Ge. When a normal person encountered a situation like this, they would plead with the police to capture the criminals as soon as possible, but Chen Ge appeared to be reminding the police to protect themselves.
The two parties conversed for an hour. Chen Ge connected all the clues together. All the clues more or less pointed to an abandoned hospital in the countryside of Xin Hai.
Xin Hai had always been a city with good security. The cases that had happened in the past few days could be considered as very rare serious cases.
The higher-ups had given a strict order. All the police in the city were mobilized to investigate the multiple cases. While the city was under surveillance, they were also preparing to investigate the hospital in the countryside.
The peace of Xin Hai was completely shattered, and undercurrents were brewing under the surface.
At around 3 pm, just as Chen Ge sent the police away, he received a call from Ol 'Wu. He brought another piece of bad news for Chen Ge — Mr Wang had disappeared.
Chen Ge did not even bother to eat and hurried to Mr Wang's place. He did not see Mr Wang but instead saw Zuo Han.
"Why are you here?"
"Last night, I called the teacher to ask him some questions. In the middle of our conversation, the teacher said that someone else had entered his room." Zuo Han's eyes were serious. "The teacher hung up the phone, and after that, I have not been able to get through to him. I was worried that something might have happened to him, so early this morning, I took the first bus to Xin Hai. "
"Did you find anything special inside Mr Wang's room? Like a note or a letter … "Before Chen Ge finished, he saw Zuo Han pick up a letter from the coffee table.
The letter was similar to the one that Chen Ge found inside Xiao Die's room. The only difference was on the back of the letter. The face on the back of the letter said — 'You are my first friend.'
