He was scared out of his wits. He quickly turned the car around and drove back, but it felt like the road was getting longer and longer, like he would never be able to go back.
In the end, just as he was about to give up, his phone rang. His grandmother was worried about his safety and asked why he hadn't returned home yet.
He told her everything that had happened to him, and strangely enough, when he was on the phone with his grandmother, the car had already left Eastern Jiujiang.
After he hung up, he realized that his grandmother had passed away last year. At the time, he was busy with an important project, so he didn't go back. "
"It was his grandmother who passed away that saved his life?" When Chen Ge heard about the bus and the changes to the buildings on the side of the road, he confirmed that the patient was not crazy. He was probably telling the truth.
"Instead of saying it was his grandmother who saved his life, it was the beauty in his subconscious that saved him. From a psychological perspective, because he didn't go to see his grandmother for the last time, he has been feeling guilty, and this guilt helped him maintain his rationality even when his mind was acting strangely." Doctor Pei placed his hands inside the pockets of his white coat. "I'm using him as an example because he is lucky. There are still many unfortunate patients locked up at this hospital. I'm telling you all this to tell you that there are many strange things happening in Eastern Jiujiang, so you have to be careful when you go there. I know it's not appropriate for me to say this as a doctor, but I hope you can be careful. "
"Doctor Pei, you have many patients like the driver here?" The more Chen Ge listened, the more he felt like he had come to the right place. "Can you tell me more about their experiences?"
"If you hear too many of their stories, it'll impact your own ideology. Also, this is the patient's privacy. Even if you're a police officer, I can't reveal it. "Doctor Pei rejected Chen Ge's request.
"It's fine, I still have to thank you." Chen Ge thought this Doctor Pei was a good person, at least among all the psychologists he had met.
After leaving the mental hospital, Chen Ge hailed a cab to return to New Century Park. He glanced at the time, and it was only 9 pm.
"This is the last bus on Route 104. Should I go out and try my luck?" When Chen Ge returned last night, he had charged Fan Cong's electric scooter. He was worried that when Fan Cong came to pick up the scooter, there would be no battery and it would be inconvenient for him to go back.
However, Fan Cong might have something to do at the last minute and did not come during the day.
"Tonight, I'll wait for the bus on Route 104. Whether it's the woman in the red raincoat or the last bus, it doesn't matter. If it's too late to get to Eastern Jiujiang, I'll stay at Fan Cong's house to sleep." Chen Ge went through the things that he needed to do in his mind. The deadline that I promised to the woman in the red raincoat is approaching. This is the most important task. When I have time in the future, I'll send Meng Nan back to the Third Sick Hall.
Checking his backpack, Chen Ge rode the scooter to the entrance of New Century Park and greeted the guard.
The guard was used to Chen Ge going out at night, so he never asked. In fact, they had a good relationship.
After Chen Ge's parents disappeared, Chen Ge had stayed at the Haunted House every day. At night, only the guard and Chen Ge were left at the park.
Sometimes, when the old man ran into a problem that he could not solve, he would ask for Chen Ge's help. When he was in a good mood or a bad mood, the old man would get two bottles of wine and bring Chen Ge to the theme park's canteen in the middle of the night.
When Chen Ge was in trouble, many people at this park had helped him, so when the park was in trouble, he would stand up without hesitation.
"Xiao Chen, you're a boss now. This scooter doesn't match your current identity." The old man carried a tea pot. Even from afar, Chen Ge could smell the scent of alcohol. It was not water that the old man was pouring.
"We'll talk about it later. I haven't gotten my license yet, and the people at the driving school have a problem with me. They say I drive too wild."
"Then why don't you just change your habits? They're doing this for your own good. Safety first. "
"I'm too lazy to change. I'll hire a driver to drive for me in the future." Chen Ge rode the scooter out of New Century Park. After talking to the guard, he realized a problem. "Even if I manage to get the bus back, I'm afraid I can only drive it in the suburbs. It's still too inconvenient to go to the city. But I hear the subway on the fourth line is haunted. If I have time in the future, I should go take a look. "
Riding the scooter, Chen Ge rushed to the nearest bus stop. He stood in the cold wind for half an hour, but the bus and the woman in the red raincoat did not show up.
"Does it have to be a rainy day?"
Chen Ge did not want to give up. He followed the route of the bus and headed toward Eastern Jiujiang.
At 11 pm, Chen Ge entered Eastern Jiujiang. He could feel that this place was different from other places. There was not a single car on the road.
"When I was here last time, there were taxis that occasionally came this way. Is it because of what happened to me that the taxis no longer come to Eastern Jiujiang at night?" Chen Ge shook his head. He felt like he was not that powerful on his own. Something scary had happened in Eastern Jiujiang again.
"Since we haven't met, it means that the time is not right. That's not my fault." Whenever Chen Ge passed a bus stop, he would stop for a while.
Initially, he hoped that the bus would show up, but gradually, he gave up hope and hurried toward Li Wan City.
The road condition worsened. At 11: 30 pm, Chen Ge suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He opened his palm, and a thin rain fell on his palm.
"It's raining?"
Chen Ge took out his phone to look at the weather report. It said that there would be no rain in Jiujiang for the next few days.
"Rain is a good thing. The Yin energy is heavy, and the chance of running into ghosts is high. The woman in the red raincoat might show up as well."
Putting the phone away, Chen Ge looked around. Even though he had been to Eastern Jiujiang several times, the buildings around him were still unfamiliar.
The dim streetlights gave off a weak light, but it was unable to chase away the darkness. The atmosphere became strangely depressing.
"I'm still on the route of the bus. Should I wait for it here?"
The changes around him were similar to what Doctor Pei had described at the mental hospital. Chen Ge had a feeling that the bus would show up that night.
"Xiao Gu said that the woman's child is on the bus. I only need to get on the bus to help her snatch the child down and have her confirm it."
Chen Ge had his own plan. He only asked the woman in the red raincoat to confirm it, but he did not say that he would return the child to her. His promise with the woman in the red raincoat was to help her find the child. Whether he would return it to her or how he would return it to her was another matter.
