Holding the hammer, Chen Ge walked to the statue. He looked into the statue's eyes and asked his first question.
"You can verify the authenticity of everything I say next, right?" Chen Ge's question was not that difficult, and he did not plan to trouble the statue.
He stopped before the statue and waited for half a minute, but there was still no reaction.
"What's going on? Why isn't it crying? " Chen Ge turned around to look at Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian. When the two girls saw Chen Ge turn around, they shuddered in fright.
"That's impossible! We've tried it earlier, and the statue is fine. "
They were underground, and their surroundings were dark. The only source of light came from the phone.
Ma Yin wanted to get a better look at the statue, so she raised the phone with one hand. However, when the light shone on the statue, she seemed to realize something and quickly lowered the phone's light.
She apologized anxiously to Chen Ge. "I know your rules. I didn't see your face, so I don't know what you look like. I didn't see anything! I won't tell anyone what happened here! "
Her eyes locked on the bloody murder weapon, and Ma Yin wished she could throw the phone away.
She was afraid that she would be silenced by Chen Ge because she knew too much.
In the underground tunnel at 2 am, first they ran into a ghost, then they were chased by a group of fish-like monsters, and finally, they ran into this scary man. The series of events stunned Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian. Their minds were blank, and all they wanted to do was to return to the surface as soon as possible.
"Silenced?" Chen Ge put himself in their shoes. "Your worries are not unfounded."
Hearing that, the two girls almost cried.
"It's fine, I'm not blaming you."
Chen Ge stood before the statue again. With his Yin Yang Vision, he could see the blood stains at the corner of the statue's eyes. "Was my question too difficult?"
While he was studying the statue, Liu Xianxian, who hid behind Ma Yin, slowly calmed down. She listened to Chen Ge's voice, and it sounded familiar. It sounded like someone in her memory.
"That's impossible. How could he appear in the underground tunnel at 2 am? It must be a mistake. "
Chen Ge ignored the two girls and walked around the statue with the hammer. "There is a stench coming from inside the statue. I really wish to open it to take a look."
He stood before the statue again. "This time, I'll try a simpler question. I hope you'll think it through before you answer."
Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder and raised the hammer in his hand. "Do you believe that I can smash you into pieces within a minute? If you don't believe me, I'll give it a try now. "
The sound of static came from Chen Ge's backpack. A few seconds later, two streams of blood flowed from the statue's eyes.
"It seems that the legend is true." Chen Ge smiled with satisfaction.
Hearing his laughter, the two girls behind him shivered. They looked at the statue that was cornered by Chen Ge in the dark, and for some reason, they felt pity for it.
"The Pen Spirit can predict the future, but it's only fifty percent accurate. This statue can tell the truth of a sentence. If I combine it with the Pen Spirit's power, won't I be able to get one hundred percent accurate information?" Chen Ge had an idea about the statue. "I can't carry it out like this, and it'll be difficult for the two girls to carry it. I'll leave it here for now."
With the blood tears hanging on its face, the statue looked quite pitiful.
It was not until Chen Ge deactivated the recorder that it stopped crying.
"Looks like I've gained something tonight." Chen Ge turned to yell at the two girls, "Is there a limit to the number of questions you can ask in your school's ghost story about the statue?"
"Number of questions?" Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian thought that Chen Ge was about to leave, but to their surprise, he asked such a question. "I don't think so."
"There's no limit?" Chen Ge was intrigued. The statue had been underground for a long time, so it had to be very familiar with this place.
He put away the hammer, and as if finding his conscience, he very gently wiped away the tears on the statue's face.
"Alright, I'll ask you the second question." Chen Ge looked at the statue's ugly face. "The monster that was hiding in this room came from the underground morgue, right?"
Several seconds later, blood red tears fell from the statue's eyes.
"Very good. The third question, there are people or other monsters scarier than me in the underground morgue, right?"
The bloody tears didn't stop, and the two girls covered their eyes. It was too horrible to look at.
"The fourth question, someone is secretly helping the monsters in the underground morgue, right?"
The statue's tears seemed to have run dry, and the strong will to live made it squeeze out the tears.
"Looks like my earlier speculation is correct. This underground morgue is not as simple as it seems." Chen Ge knew that the statue was about to die, so he asked the last question.
"Think carefully before you answer, this last question is very important," Chen Ge said slowly. "The chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales is Captain Yan from the police station, right?"
The term "Society of Strange Tales" seemed to have a special meaning for the statue. When it heard those words, the stench on it disappeared like the spirit on the statue had disappeared.
"You can't tell me? Could it be that this statue was placed here by the Society of Strange Tales? The underground morgue is also related to the Society of Strange Tales? " Chen Ge leaned closer, and his finger slid across the statue's eyes. There was the last blood tear that was about to fall.
"Looks like Captain Yan really isn't related to the Society of Strange Tales." Chen Ge touched the statue's head. "Thank you for your hard work, but I have to remind you that the members of the Society of Strange Tales are devoid of humanity. It's dangerous for you to follow them. Why don't you leave the darkness for the light? I'll protect you in the future."
The statue did not respond, and Chen Ge did not force it. He tried to place the statue on the ground.
Looking from the base, the statue was hollow.
"The Pen Spirit can predict the future because there's a baleful Specter living in it. The abnormality of this statue should be related to the Specter as well."
Chen Ge reached his hand into the statue. "It's very spacious. I thought there would be a dead body inside. No, there has to be something wrong with this statue. Even though there's no dead body inside, it doesn't mean that there hasn't been a dead body inside before. "
He was talking to himself, and he did not care about the others' feelings.
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian were panicking. They felt like the man was choosing a place to hide the dead body.
"We've gained a lot tonight. Let's leave." Chen Ge stood up to help the statue up. "The statue said that there's someone scarier than me in the underground morgue. With my current power, I shouldn't be able to complete that three-star mission."
