"It's here!"
Staring at the pipe, Chen Ge raised the hammer and swung it at a spot above his head.
"Bang!"
The pipe burst, and water splashed everywhere, drenching his clothes.
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ge looked at the black hair that was escaping through the pipe, and his eyes narrowed. "I won't let you go no matter what!"
He put away Xu Yin and Bai Qiulin and ran out of the school.
"Where's the main water and electricity switch?" Chen Ge jumped over the window. Holding the hammer, he placed one hand on the woman's shoulder.
The woman that he had saved earlier was hugging the girl in the middle of the field, preparing to leave.
She did not expect Chen Ge to come out so soon. She was flustered, and she did not know what to say.
"I'm asking you, where's the main switch?"
"No, we're on the same route as the residential area next to us. The main gate is on their side …" The woman's words were intermittent, but Chen Ge understood her. The residential area next to them used the same route as the school. As long as they could shut off the main gate, they would be able to trap the water ghost inside the pipe between the residential area and the school.
Of course, Chen Ge did not have a hundred percent guarantee that it would work. The water ghost could enter any house through the pipe at any time, and that was the thing that worried Chen Ge the most.
"Go and inform the management to temporarily shut off the main switch. Tell them that the person who kidnapped the girl and harmed the teachers and students is hiding inside the pipe." After giving that order, Chen Ge placed the hammer back into his backpack. He focused and cleared away all distracting thoughts as he listened to the strange sound coming from inside the pipe.
The sound moved further and further away from him. Jiujiang's water network was very complicated. If he could not stop the monster in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The culprit is hiding inside the pipe? How did he get in? "The woman stood where she was. Why would anyone believe a reason like that? She wanted to explain it to Chen Ge, but Chen Ge had already rushed out of the school.
The pipe was buried underground, so it could not be seen directly. Chen Ge could only rely on his Ghost Ear to listen to the sound of the monster moving.
Sometimes, he even wanted to close his eyes and get rid of all external influences.
About two minutes later, Chen Ge followed the sound into a small area behind the rehabilitation school.
As soon as he entered the neighborhood, Chen Ge shivered. The temperature in the neighborhood was much lower than outside.
It was just a door away, but the difference in temperature was huge.
"Strange, why do I feel like I'm back at the underground morgue?" Chen Ge's body temperature was lower than a normal person's. Even he felt the chill, which meant that there was a problem.
The residential area in front of them was built in an area that was not considered prosperous in Eastern Jiujiang. Unlike other residential areas, there was no iron fence around the residential area. Instead, it was surrounded by high walls like a prison. It was not aesthetically pleasing, and it looked very awkward.
There were a total of seven buildings in the neighborhood, and they were all around ten stories tall. They looked like they had been built for a long time, but perhaps because of the lack of maintenance, they gave off a shabby feeling.
It was very normal in Eastern Jiujiang, and there was nothing special about it. However, after entering it, Chen Ge had a strange feeling in his heart.
It felt like someone was watching him from behind one of the windows, and that kind of gaze caused cold sweat to break out on Chen Ge's back.
"Wen Wen's sister probably didn't choose this place randomly …" Chen Ge did not back down. From how he saw it, unless there was a Red Specter hiding in this residential area, no ghost would be able to stop him.
The buildings around the residential area still had some lights on, but this residential area was dark, and the deeper he went, the darker it became.
Chen Ge listened to the sound coming from the pipe under his feet and followed the monster to a building at the deepest part of the residential area.
Even though he had completed so many Trial Missions, Chen Ge still hesitated before entering this building.
The building before him had been burned down. Even though the walls had been repainted, when he got closer, he could still smell the faded stench like something had been burnt.
Not only that, from many details, it could be seen that this was a building that had experienced a serious fire, but the building had not been abandoned. After the renovation, someone had moved in.
"A building that has been burned down?" Chen Ge was reminded of another Trial Mission that he had seen on the black phone — the three-star difficulty, Ghost Fire Burning Building.
"It shouldn't be that coincidental. There are many buildings that have been burned down."
He took out the hammer from his backpack. The sound coming from the water ghost had weakened. She followed the water pipe and ran into the residential building before him.
"Why did she have to run into this building? The main valve is probably still open, so she had the chance to escape into the other pipes. Why did she choose this path of death? "
If this water ghost was really Wen Wen's sister, and her life had been taken away by her biological parents, then she must have been very resentful after her death. A ghost like that would be very vengeful.
"I've ruined her plan, so she must be angry. She probably lured me into this building because there's an even scarier presence here, and she wants to borrow a knife to kill me."
Chen Ge soon understood the water ghost's intention, but he was not afraid. "If you want to borrow a knife to kill me, then I'll take the knife that you borrowed with me today."
Entering the building, he saw that someone had splashed paint on the walls, and there were many words like "Give me back my child's life."
Walking down the stairs, it sounded like something was crawling inside the pipes, and the sound kept coming from them.
Chen Ge summoned Xu Yin and Bai Qiulin to chase after him. The sound finally stopped on the thirteenth floor.
"She wants to lure me here?" Chen Ge was afraid of all the floors that included the third floor. He looked at the few rooms on the thirteenth floor, but he could not tell where Wen Wen's sister was hiding.
"Should I try them one by one? It'll be embarrassing to disturb others. "
Holding the hammer in one hand, Chen Ge's eyes moved between the three doors.
…
The dark sky was filled with blood vessels, and many eyes with hatred and vengeance stared at the corner of the street.
In this blood-red city stood a man wearing a blood-red doctor's uniform.
He held his lover's head with one hand, and with every step he took, blood would slide down his shirt. It was an extreme shade of red!
"Kindness corresponds to evil, and sin corresponds to punishment. Everything in the world has its opposite." The man silently raised the head in his palm. "Then what is the opposite of human beings?"
Shadows flashed through the blood-dyed street, but the man seemed to have gotten used to this. He looked at the burned building at the end of the street, and his face was filled with madness.
"Is it hiding there? After eating more, I should be able to find out what is the opposite of human beings. "Blood flowed quietly under his feet, and the man's expression became more and more twisted.
"I'm so hungry …"
