The rain became heavier, and it blurred one's vision. Chen Ge sat next to the phone spirit and watched everything silently.
The phone spirit and his mother were separated by a street. This ten meters was the distance between the two worlds. He could see but not touch.
"Do you need me to take you there?"
Chen Ge asked softly, but the phone spirit shook his head violently when he heard that. He used his hands to wipe away the tears on his face, but he could not stop them.
After a long time, he sent a message to Chen Ge.
"Call the police. Don't make her wait any longer."
Through the window, the phone spirit looked at the woman standing in the rain. His hand landed lightly on the glass, and he seemed to say something before slowly disappearing.
It was unclear whether the woman on the other side of the street heard his voice or not. She seemed to subconsciously turn to look at the coffee shop, but she did not see the person that she wanted to see.
After the woman left, Chen Ge walked out from the coffee shop. He looked at the city that was covered in rain with a complicated expression.
He had been through a lot recently. First, it was Xiaoxiao's grandfather who was sick, and then he met the phone spirit and his mother.
Some people were no longer there, but the living still missed them. Perhaps it was this missing that gave them something to rely on.
Leaning against the wall, Chen Ge did not care that his clothes were wet. He was thinking about a question that had been bothering him for a long time. "What is a ghost?"
Ever since he obtained the black phone, he had interacted with many different ghosts, but the more he interacted with them, the more confused he became.
After taking one last look at Tong Tong's Flower Shop that was closed, Chen Ge took out his phone and walked into the back alley.
"Captain Yan, I need your help. Seven years ago, a child by the name of Tong Tong disappeared in Eastern Jiujiang. The police believe that he was kidnapped by human traffickers. Can you still find the case file on your side?"
Captain Yan heard the strangeness in Chen Ge's tone. He thought about it before saying, "That case should be handled by the police station in Eastern Jiujiang. I'll call them later."
"Thank you."
"Are you okay? How come it feels like there's something wrong with your voice? "
"Don't worry."
About ten minutes later, Captain Yan called Chen Ge again. "We've found the case file, but we can't confirm the suspect. We only know that the car that kidnapped Tong Tong entered Li Wan City, Eastern Jiujiang, but the officers at the time did not find Tong Tong at Li Wan City. They suspect that Tong Tong has been moved by the suspect somewhere else."
"Did they go to Puming Apartments on East Street when they searched?"
"Puming Apartment? Let me ask. " Captain Yan messaged the people at Eastern Jiujiang's police station. After a while, he replied to Chen Ge. "The officers have searched every house, but they did not see any children or hear any crying."
"Alright, I understand." Chen Ge stood in the back alley, his body submerged in the shadows.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Captain Yan was worried.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that one of my employees was wronged."
"Employees?" Captain Yan could hear the coldness in Chen Ge's voice, and it had not been there before. "Chen Ge, no matter what happens, don't act rashly!"
"I won't act rashly. I'm just going there to seek justice." After hanging up, Chen Ge communicated with the phone spirit and got to know what had happened several years ago.
The human trafficker lived at Puming Apartments. When he realized the police had entered Li Wan City, he had panicked.
The child was screaming and screaming. He was worried that he would be discovered, so to cover up his crime, he murdered Tong Tong and then stuffed the body and the phone into the water tank on the roof.
…
At 11: 30 pm, the officers at Eastern Jiujiang's police station received a call. Someone had discovered the human trafficker who had kidnapped children several years ago. The caller reconstructed the whole story for them, including the kidnapping, murder, and hiding of the body.
The police moved out immediately. When they exited the station, they saw a man fainted in the middle of the road.
After comparing the information, they realized to their shock that this man was the human trafficker from many years ago.
Seeing the police drag the man away, Chen Ge hailed a cab and left.
The phone spirit's wish had been fulfilled. His affection level toward Chen Ge had increased greatly, and Tong Tong's name appeared on the black phone's employee page.
However, Chen Ge did not feel happy. He had suggested to share some information with Tong Tong's mother several times, but the phone spirit had rejected him every time. He did not want to disturb the woman's life anymore.
The night passed uneventfully, and Chen Ge had a rare good night's rest. The next morning, the sun shone into the room.
Stretching lazily, Chen Ge looked out the window.
"The sky is finally clear."
At 8: 15 am, Xu Wan arrived at the Haunted House with breakfast. She saw Chen Ge, who had just woken up with messy hair. She shook her head. "Boss, I brought you breakfast. Eat it while it's hot."
"Okay." Chen Ge washed up and picked up the breakfast that Xu Wan had brought. He started to munch on it.
At 8: 25 am, Gu Feiyu rushed into the theme park. He wore the work ID that Xu Shu had given him around his neck. He greeted everyone warmly, and it was clear that he liked his job very much.
"The two of you should go prepare yourself in the dressing room. The visitors are about to arrive."
Chen Ge personally helped them with their make-up and sent them into the scenario.
When there were still fifteen minutes until the park opened, Director Luo and Xu Shu walked over. Accompanying them were a few workers.
"Director Luo, why are you here?" Chen Ge had done many big things recently, and he had caused quite a lot of trouble for Director Luo.
"I'm here to deliver you something good." Director Luo pointed at the few workers behind him. They were carrying a few boxes. "Do you still remember the tracking bracelet and small program that I told you about last time?"
Chen Ge nodded and turned to look at the box the worker was holding. "Is the program finished?"
"There are no problems with the internal testing, so it can be officially used." Director Luo had the workers move a table over and open the boxes. They were filled with bracelets. "These one thousand bracelets will be given out for free. They will be used to build the framework for the small program, and the subsequent bracelets will have to be purchased by the visitors themselves. There is a QR code on the front and side of the boxes. Just scan it, and you'll be able to download the small program. You'll be able to get a ten percent discount next time you visit. "
The workers were busy at the entrance of the Haunted House, and the resting hall was filled with people. It appeared like the workers were installing something.
"I've given you a new large screen. It will display everyone's progress and the introduction to the scenario. Other than that, the design for the resting hall has been finalized. We can start work in three days at the latest." Director Luo felt like he was playing a big game of chess. "I plan to remove the merry-go-round and the surrounding entertainment facilities. One, they will be able to complement your Haunted House, and two, we are too far behind the futuristic theme park in terms of technology. I plan to purchase a new batch of entertainment facilities to close this gap."
