The moment the investigator fell backward, Chen Ge rushed forward.
The distance of three meters was like an insurmountable moat.
In the end, Chen Ge's hand did not manage to grab hold of him.
The night wind rushed into his ears, tearing his eardrums. The investigator's face was twisted, and his body was falling at a high speed. This was probably the last three seconds of his life.
The distance between the two increased. The investigator seemed to say something at the end, but due to the distance, Chen Ge could not hear it clearly. However, through the blurred movement of the man's lips, Chen Ge managed to read two words — 'Meng Nan'.
Chen Ge did not understand why the investigator would mention Meng Nan at the last moment of his life. Perhaps he was purposely interfering, or perhaps he was trying to leave some kind of message.
"Yao Qingyi!"
Lee Zheng's scream came from the safety door. Several officers rushed over at the same time.
The heavy object fell, and this was the first time Chen Ge had heard the sound of a life slipping away.
The back of Yao Qingyi's head hit the ground. Before he died, his face was still staring at the roof. His eyes were wide open, and there was a strange smile on his lips.
Half of his body was dangling out of the building, and Chen Ge's hand was suspended in midair.
"Society of Strange Tales …" This society made up of psychopaths and murderers had shown their real side before Chen Ge. They had never cared about the lives of living people.
"Chen Ge, what is going on?" Lee Zheng's eyes were red.
Pulling back his arm, Chen Ge's voice was suppressed. "Who told you to come here?"
"The nurse called the police. A patient saw Ol 'Yao run out of his room in the middle of the night like he was sleepwalking. Considering Xiao Jia's situation, we thought something had happened to Ol 'Yao, so we rushed over from Fang Hwa Apartments. "
"It was the nurse who called the police?" Chen Ge's hands gripped the railing. His eyes stared at Yao Qingyi downstairs, looking at the smile on his face before he died.
Were the words he said before he died the truth?
Who was the one who used the scapegoat to control him?
Wu Fei? President? Or the tenth?
There were only three members of the Society of Strange Tales left, but if the leader was not eliminated, it would not be long before the Society of Strange Tales was reborn.
Misfortune and despair happened every day. When the pain accumulated in one's heart and tainted one's soul, the leaflets from the Society of Strange Tales would arrive as promised.
"Before next Wednesday, I have to make the Society of Strange Tales disappear completely."
With Zhang Ya in a deep sleep, it would not be easy for Chen Ge to deal with the remaining three members of the Society of Strange Tales.
"I need new Red Specters!"
The police cars surrounded the People's Hospital. Because when Yao Qingyi jumped off the building, Lee Zheng and the other policemen also saw the situation at that time, so they did not make things difficult for Chen Ge.
At four in the morning, Chen Ge was escorted back to New Century Park by the police.
After entering the Haunted House and closing the door to the staff breakroom, Chen Ge locked himself in the room and placed the black phone on the table.
He still had to open for business the next day, but he did not feel sleepy at all. He sat on the chair and looked through the mission information on the phone.
"I can get rewards from Daily Missions, but only Nightmare Missions will change my body. Ever since the Nightmare Missions were changed to random, I haven't seen them appear on the phone. The normal missions are all about improving the Haunted House, but I can do them when I'm free.
"There are two Trial Missions in the black phone — the two-star scenario, The Hearse, and the four-star scenario, School of the Afterlife. Unlocking new scenarios and completing hidden missions will give me a huge reward, and that includes Specters. Completing Trial Missions can also increase the power of the Haunted House, but the low-star Trial Missions won't affect me that much, and the high-star Trial Missions are too dangerous." Chen Ge was conflicted. After Zhang Ya went into hibernation, he suddenly realized that his previous fearlessness was mostly due to this Red Specter who had a crush on him.
"The visitors' screams that I've collected over the past few days should be enough to exchange for two lucky draw tickets. The Wheel of Misfortune is one of the ways to increase the power of the Haunted House, but there's too much uncertainty." Chen Ge thought back to his previous attempts at the Wheel of Misfortune and shook his head. He decided to wait until tomorrow afternoon when the Yang energy was more concentrated.
"Time is limited, and the situation is urgent. If the Specter doesn't obey my orders, then I'll have to feed it to Xu Yin."
Xu Yin had the potential to become a Red Specter, and only a Red Specter could pose a threat to the Society of Strange Tales.
"The Society of Strange Tales has controlled the blood door for years, so they must have more than two Red Specters. They probably haven't made a move yet because they don't know my background. If they know that Zhang Ya is in hibernation and can't wake up on her own, they'll make use of this opportunity to eliminate me. "
He turned to look at his shadow. The long-haired woman's shadow was also a kind of invisible threat!
"Zhang Ya might have already thought of this." Chen Ge took out the wooden box from his pocket. He held the ugly toy inside the box and placed the disfigured face before his eyes.
"Why would Zhang Ya give this to me? Can this thing save my life at a crucial moment? "
It was a terrible experience to carry around a disfigured toy.
He had no idea how to use the disfigured toy, and it was inconvenient to carry it around in a wooden box. In the end, Chen Ge found a black bag and placed it inside. Out of sight, out of mind.
Putting the phone away, he lay on the bed in the breakroom. Chen Ge's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he fell asleep.
…
At 8: 30 am, Chen Ge was woken up by the alarm clock. He had only slept for three to four hours for the past few days, but he still felt energetic and did not feel any discomfort. The only difference was that his body temperature seemed to be slightly lower than normal, but he had no idea what was wrong with it.
The theme park opened at 8: 55 am, and a new day of business began.
Xiao Gu was still in the hospital. According to Captain Yan, the man's life was no longer in danger, and he would be discharged in a few days.
Ol 'Wong, on the other hand, probably due to his old age and the strong stimulation, had fallen ill with a high fever.
During the rare moments when he was conscious, he told the police that he planned to quit his job as a security guard. As for what happened to him that night, no one knew. Even he himself could not explain it.
The visitors swarmed into the theme park, and the number was even higher than the day before.
Without Xiao Gu, Chen Ge could only alternate between the two scenarios. He worked until noon before he rested.
The Haunted House's popularity was growing, and the situation was getting better. Even though Chen Ge was busy, his heart was full.
At 12: 30 pm, Chen Ge sat at the entrance to the Haunted House to check the morning's ticket income. He was halfway through when his phone rang.
He opened it and realized it was an unknown number. He instinctively wanted to turn it off. He had been too busy recently.
"Hopefully, it's just a prank call."
The call was connected, and a woman's voice came from the other end. "Excuse me, are you Chen Ge?"
"Yes, that's me."
"Hello, I'm from Jiujiang's Children's Home. Fan Yu's blood relative wrote your name in the guardian's letter of authorization. Now that his aunt is in prison, we have to contact you to solve some problems."
"It's related to Fan Yu?" Chen Ge had a deep impression of the boy who drew ghosts.
"Yes, he has a godsister at our Children's Home."
"That's a good thing. The boy doesn't like to communicate with others, and now that he has changed …"
"What if his sister is not a human but a spider?"
