Qin Guang and Chen Ge had been banned at the same time. Now that Chen Ge had returned and Qin Guang was nowhere to be seen, many curious viewers swarmed into Chen Ge's comment section. They wanted to know what had happened that day.
Chen Ge did not even reveal the real situation at the Third Sick Hall to the police, much less the audience. He replied to a few comments and was about to go offline when his phone vibrated. It was Liu Dao.
After all, they were once partners, so Chen Ge did not reject him. He exited the video page and accepted Liu Dao's call.
"Chen Ge, did the platform tell you when you're going to unban your livestream?"
"No, but it should be soon. How can I help you?" Livestream was just a promotional tool for Chen Ge, so he did not really care about that.
As Haunted House's popularity grew, he was more inclined to turn his livestream into a platform for the Haunted House fans to communicate with each other. For example, he would announce his progress and new scenarios daily.
"It's like this. Our previous collaboration was very successful, and I wish to make a similar show that is easier to control." Liu Dao was unwilling to give up. Working with Chen Ge was the proudest day since he had become enemies with Qin Guang's studio.
"What kind of show?"
"I will arrange for the most famous streamers to enter your Haunted House for a livestream. Do you think it's reliable?" Liu Dao looked forward to Chen Ge's answer. Before he asked Chen Ge, he had probably done his research.
"Sounds reliable, but the timing is not right. I'm afraid we'll have to wait."
"Don't worry, we'll pay you a satisfactory amount. Other than that, livestreaming is also to promote your Haunted House, isn't it?" Liu Dao was a smart man, and he understood Chen Ge's concern. "You don't need to worry about us leaking the interior of your Haunted House. They'll be livestreaming the whole time, and the quality won't be good."
"I don't have enough scenarios yet. Let me think about it."
Chen Ge did not want to expose the details of the Haunted House, so he rejected Liu Dao in a roundabout way.
Even though there were many guides for Haunted House on the internet, reading a guide and being there in person were two completely different experiences. Some horrors could only be understood after experiencing them.
After hanging up, before Chen Ge could put down his phone, another call came in.
Initially, he thought it was Liu Dao, but when he looked at the caller ID, he realized it was Captain Yan.
"Nothing good ever happens when he calls me," Chen Ge muttered, not knowing that the other party had the same reaction when he called.
"Captain Yan? What's the matter? "Chen Ge was lying on the bed, very relaxed. He was in a good mood tonight.
"I heard from Inspector Lee that you went to Lin Guan Village last night?" Compared to Chen Ge, Captain Yan sounded very serious. Whenever he used this tone, it meant that the situation was very serious.
"Is there something wrong with that village?" Chen Ge sat up immediately. He did not think much of Lin Guan Village at the foot of the mountain. In fact, he had planned to go to Coffin Village deep in the mountain to take a look.
"Stay away from Lin Guan Village, and be careful not to go there at night." Captain Yan seemed to have talked to Inspector Lee on the phone and knew what had happened to Chen Ge.
"Captain Yan, you'd better be more specific, or else I'll be even more curious."
"You should know about the Lin Guan Village poisoning case. The only survivor from the family of four was a little girl."
"I know that. I even saw her at the children's home."
"The person who took care of the little girl is already dead. Her body was found inside an abandoned and locked house at Lin Guan Village." Captain Yan's voice was frighteningly calm, but one could hear the hidden anger in his voice.
"Why would a body appear at Lin Guan Village?" The first person that came to Chen Ge's mind was Jiang Ling's sister, but he had interacted with Jiang Ling's sister before. Even though the girl had the appearance of a monster, she was no different from a normal person.
"I haven't been able to figure this out, and the investigation was stalled because of this. We collated everything that the victim said and did in the few days before her death, and we discovered something very strange. " Captain Yan seemed to be hesitating whether to tell Chen Ge or not. After a few seconds, he finally said, "When the victim was alive, she used her position to buy blood."
"Human blood?"
"Yes, that's the only clue we have." Captain Yan reminded Chen Ge again. "Do not go to Lin Guan Village alone at night. At least, before we get to the bottom of this, do not do anything rash."
"Then, how long do I have to wait?" Chen Ge could wait, but the mission on the black phone could not. The three-star scenario, Coffin Village, would disappear in six days.
All the abandoned missions on the black phone would not be unlocked in the future.
"At least we have to capture all the mental patients who escaped from the Third Sick Hall." At this point, Captain Yan felt a headache coming on. "Initially, they were still holding back, but after we completely fell out with them, we realized that we had greatly underestimated their danger."
Chen Ge heard the hidden meaning in Captain Yan's words. "Have they committed another crime?"
"I'm currently standing outside the crime scene, cleaning up the mess."
"Crime scene?" Chen Ge slowed down. "Someone was murdered?"
"Yes, there were two, but the crime scenes were quite strange."
"The first victim was a robber. According to the surveillance, the victim had just committed the crime and hid in the back alley, but he never came out. A passing drunkard called the police. The victim's eyes were gouged out, and the cause of death was unknown.
"The second victim was originally a wanted criminal hiding in Jiujiang. He was hanged inside his rented apartment. If not for the fact that both victims had their eyes gouged out, we wouldn't have linked these two cases together. "
After hearing Captain Yan's explanation, Chen Ge also felt that something was wrong. "Why would the victim have his eyes gouged out?"
"The target is a mental patient, so we can't look at the mental patient from the perspective of a normal person." Captain Yan sighed. "Generally speaking, these similar cases are caused by the killer's quirks. Gouging out the eyes could be a ritual, or it could be because the killer had experienced something related to his eyes when he was young, and it left a psychological scar on him. Or perhaps it was just to interfere with our investigation. "
"The possibility of a psychological scar from a young age is very high. Many of the patients at the Third Sick Hall were traumatized when they were young." Chen Ge memorized what Captain Yan said. The killer was probably the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales, and he wanted to know as much as he could about this person.
