The statue used to be related to the Society of Strange Tales, but now it was Chen Ge's ghost.
Rushing into the underground scenario, Chen Ge pushed open the door to his wife's room.
The ugly statue stood next to the bed, and its eyes stared blankly at a spot in the room. No one knew what it had been through.
"How did Old Zhou and the others persuade it? How come it looks so tired? "
Chen Ge walked to the statue and took out Yan Danian's comic. "I've found the real killer. As long as you're willing to become my employee, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will help you take revenge."
The statue did not understand what Chen Ge said, but it could be felt that its body shivered like its emotions had changed.
"Your killer is hiding in the deepest part of the underground morgue. It is very dangerous there. If you are willing to join my Haunted House, I will bring all of my employees to seek justice for you." Chen Ge was armed to the teeth, and his tone was firm. It was clear that he was not joking; he really planned to go there.
The statue felt like something was wrong, but after it used its power, it realized that what Chen Ge said was true; he was not lying to it.
"I will take revenge for you. Tonight, I will go to the underground morgue and capture the real killer."
The statue's ugly face looked at Chen Ge, and tears of blood leaked out from its eyes. Chen Ge was telling the truth. He really planned to bring all of his employees to the underground morgue that night.
"Come with me. You are more familiar with the place. If you can help me, things will be much easier tonight."
The statue was afraid. Actually, it did not want to return to the underground morgue — it was hard for outsiders to imagine how scary that place was, but it could not reject Chen Ge's offer.
In order to help it fulfill its wish, the man in front of it was willing to put himself in danger and go to such a terrifying place. This made its cold heart surge with a trace of warmth.
Chen Ge saw that he had laid the groundwork, so he flipped open Yan Danian's comic. "Come on in. When we arrive, I have many questions to ask you."
The statue had stayed in the underground morgue for years, so it was very familiar with the place. This was one of the reasons why Chen Ge insisted on bringing the statue with him.
The blood in the eyes stopped flowing, and the ugly face of the statue slowly changed shape. The face that symbolized truth gradually softened, and finally, a girl who was more than 1.7 meters tall appeared in front of the statue.
The girl looked very similar to Ma Ying. She was very quiet and seemed to be inherited from her family. They were both very tall.
After the girl left the statue, she went straight into Yan Danian's comic, and a female statue appeared on the blank page.
This sculpture was filled with sorrow, pain, betrayal, and despair.
"The statue ghost is also willing to help. The probability of completing the mission tonight has increased a lot." Chen Ge left 'Wife's Room' and entered Mu Yang High School. He added the boy with the Foul Odor and the hanging man into the comic.
"When the completion rate of the Third Sick Hall's Trial Mission passed ninety percent, I was rewarded with a mental patient's patient list. Each patient list has the soul of a mental patient. Should I bring them with me?"
Those mental patients were originally members of the Society of Strange Tales, and they were still controlled by madness after they died. Normally, Chen Ge did not dare use them.
"I'll bring them with me. After all, they're one of my trump cards." Chen Ge thought about it and shoved the patient list into his backpack. "When the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales sees all his members standing with me, he'll probably vomit blood from anger."
Chen Ge also felt like he had crossed the line. He had not only inherited the entire legacy of the society, but he had also recruited the former 'members'.
"The Society of Strange Tales has been too crazy in the past. If I become the chairperson, I'll definitely change all that. I'll make them repent and receive true salvation. "
Carrying the backpack and the hammer, Chen Ge had just exited the Haunted House. Before he could close the door, Lee Zheng's call came.
"After Doctor Gao disappeared, Gao Ru Xue's emotions have been unstable. She seems to know something. I need you to go talk to Gao Ru Xue immediately and try to get some information out of her."
"Brother Zheng, I have something else to do tonight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long. How about you try to get someone else to talk to Gao Ru Xue?"
"It can only be you," Lee Zheng said firmly. Lee Zheng said decisively, "On the day she was targeted by the murderer of the eye-gouging case, we looked through her mobile phone. She had been calling you the whole day. I don't know what the relationship between you two is, but I know it's definitely not an ordinary one. Chen Ge, I hope you can stick to your principles in the face of danger. "
When he heard that, Chen Ge realized that Lee Zheng and the rest had probably misunderstood.
That day, Gao Ru Xue's phone had been taken over by the phone spirit. She had been able to get through to everyone but him. Gao Ru Xue had been calling him out of curiosity and anxiety.
"Okay, I'll go now."
From Lee Zheng, Chen Ge found out that Gao Ru Xue was living alone at Doctor Gao's clinic. She did not dare return to her roommates and did not want to return to Xi Xia Hu.
He hailed a cab to get to Doctor Gao's clinic. When Chen Ge got out of the car, he realized that the clinic was very close to Western Jiujiang Medical University.
There was a plainclothes officer who was watching Gao Ru Xue twenty-four hours a day. When Chen Ge got out of the car, he recognized him.
The officer was surprised by Chen Ge's appearance, and his eyes lingered on the white cat in Chen Ge's arms for a long time. In the end, he decided to obey his superior's order and actively approach Chen Ge.
The officer told Chen Ge about Gao Ru Xue's situation and then gave him a recording pen before leaving.
He knocked lightly on the door, and after a long time, Gao Ru Xue finally opened it.
She did not seem to have rested well the night before. She looked very tired and lethargic.
"Chen Ge? Why are you here? "
"I heard that you've been very sad lately, so I'm worried about you." Chen Ge was carrying a heavy backpack, and his tone was rather stiff. To avoid awkwardness, he picked up the white cat with both hands. "Do you like cats?"
The white cat turned to look at Chen Ge with a confused expression on its small furry head and its heterochromatic eyes.
The cat's' cute 'expression improved Gao Ru Xue's mood. She reached out to pat the white cat's head and moved aside. "I'm fine. Come in, do you want something to drink?"
Gao Ru Xue had been alone for too long, and she wanted to talk to someone, but she did not know who to go to.
"It's okay."
Chen Ge followed Gao Ru Xue into Doctor Gao's office. The room was mostly filled with books. There were all kinds of books, and most of them were out of print.
"Does Doctor Gao like to read that much?"
"Yes, he doesn't have many hobbies. Other than reading, he likes to collect strange art." Gao Ru Xue made two cups of coffee and brought them over.
Chen Ge accepted the coffee and took a sip. After rambling for a long time, he pretended to ask casually, "Speaking of which, we've known each other for a long time, but I don't think I've heard you call Doctor Gao 'father' before. It feels like the two of you are a bit distant."
Gao Ru Xue had a cold personality, and she did not purposely target anyone. Perhaps it was because of certain experiences that made her like this.
The things that she had experienced were the things that Chen Ge wanted to find out the most during his visit.
After hearing what Chen Ge said, Gao Ru Xue did not speak immediately. She looked at the coffee in the cup, and after a long time, she finally revealed a secret that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
"A few years ago, there was an accident during treatment for a patient, and his condition suddenly worsened. I don't know if it was because of the medicine or my father's treatment method. In the middle of the treatment, the patient lost his mind and jumped off the balcony.
"At the time, my father did not have his own clinic. He treated patients at home, and we lived on the eighth floor.
"When a patient jumped off a building, the patient's family definitely did not want it. We tried to explain, compensate, and move, but nothing worked.
"My father was under a lot of pressure at that time, but thankfully, he had my mother's support.
"I thought it was just a hurdle for my family, and everything would be fine once we crossed it, but who knew the impact of this incident would only get bigger and bigger.
"The patient's family ran to the hospital to demand justice. My father was trapped in his office, and his condition continued to worsen.
"My mother was worried about my father, so she called a taxi to rush to the hospital, but she got into a car accident on the way.
"No one answered the phone. My father then met my mother at the hospital, but …"
Gao Ru Xue held the cup with both hands, and her voice was very low. She was like an abandoned doll covered in scars. "The resuscitation was ineffective, and my mother eventually left us. During that time, my father kept himself in his room, like he had completely shut himself away.
"He did not want to communicate with the outside world. Sometimes, when I passed by his room in the middle of the night, I could hear him calling my mother's name softly.
"From that moment on, my father seemed to have changed into a different person.
"He started to do strange things. He would go out at midnight, and his body would smell of blood and formalin.
"Just as my mother was about to be buried, he did something even more shocking. He stole my mother's body."
"Only I know about that. I once asked him about it, but it was like he had changed into a different person. I will never forget the look in his eyes.
"Despair, sadness, and a madness that burned away everything.
"My mother's body disappeared. About a month later, my father returned to normal. His eyes were deep like an endless ocean, and all the negative emotions disappeared.
"He became more mature than before, like nothing in the world could stop him.
"Other people thought that he had walked out from his sadness and regained the hope of life, but only I knew that he had buried the deepest pain in his heart.
"The calmer he appeared on the surface, the more tormented his heart was.
"From then on, my father rarely appeared at night. He worked in the day and would go out alone at night. It was from then on that I felt like I had changed into a different person."
Gao Ru Xue had kept these words in her heart for a long time, and this was the first time she had shared them with someone else.
Chen Ge had saved her life at the most crucial moment, pulling her back from the brink of death, so she was very grateful and trusted Chen Ge.
"He worked in the day and went out at night, but he was so energetic every day." Chen Ge felt like Doctor Gao's situation was similar to his own. He believed that Doctor Gao had also been influenced by the Specter, and that was why he had become like that.
Gao Ru Xue finished her story. She was tired, and she curled up on the sofa.
Chen Ge did not disturb Gao Ru Xue. The girl before him did not seem to realize that her father had disappeared. Like usual, she spent the night alone. After all, her father would not return.
Looking at the time, Chen Ge found a blanket from the room next door to cover Gao Ru Xue. Then, he carried the white cat and left quietly.
When the door closed, Gao Ru Xue, who had fallen asleep, slowly opened her eyes.
She touched the blanket on her body and looked at the closed door.
…
After leaving the clinic, Chen Ge walked to Western Jiujiang Medical University. He needed to enter the underground morgue before midnight.
On the way, Chen Ge called Lee Zheng to report Doctor Gao's situation. Then, he ignored everything else and prepared to focus on completing the Trial Mission.
The underground morgue was different from the three-star scenarios that he had encountered earlier. It was well-preserved, and its power had not been weakened, so Chen Ge did not dare let his guard down.
He did not enter Western Jiujiang Medical University from the front door but took a detour to the western gate. According to Zhang Li's map, the real entrance to the underground morgue was at the western campus.
Compared to the other gates, this place was very quiet; there was not even a peddler around.
Chen Ge looked around. After ensuring that no one was looking, he jumped into the school while avoiding the cameras.
It's 9 pm now; I still have three hours.
Even though the western campus had streetlights on, compared to the other campuses, it was much less lively.
Chen Ge walked through the bushes by the side of the road and stuck close to the wall. Recalling the map in his mind, he slowly approached the entrance to the underground morgue.
The western campus was the largest of the few campuses. There were two laboratory buildings and several buildings with unknown functions. However, most of the buildings were sealed and inaccessible.
Moving forward, there seemed to be three security guards patrolling the area. They were very far away from Chen Ge, so even with Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could only make out their silhouettes.
"Why are the three security guards standing there?"
According to the map, there were five entrances to the underground morgue, and the three security guards were guarding the front entrance. This was the path that Zhang Li's group had taken to expand the morgue.
Of the remaining four passageways, two led to the two laboratory buildings, one led to the abandoned school building, and the last was an emergency passageway. This emergency passageway led to the outside of the school to prevent any danger from happening underground.
The security guards blocked the way to the front entrance, so Chen Ge had to use another path. He walked around to the lab on the left.
Pushing open the window, Chen Ge jumped into the room. He did not walk for long when he saw a glass container placed on the shelf. There was something that looked like a human head soaking in it.
I think I've heard Liu Xianxian mention this before. When she was following Liu Zhe, she saw Liu Zhe talking to the human head inside the glass container.
