"The scenario behind the door is weaved from the door-pusher's memory, so it can be understood as a nightmare that the door-pusher can never escape from.
"In the underground morgue mission, Dr. Gao shouldered all the despair and negative emotions alone, and it caused the underground morgue to collapse.
"After the scenario collapsed, I saw the world outside the scenario. It was a blood red city."
"If a single building is the nightmare of a person in despair, then the entire blood-red city is very likely to be an amalgamation of countless nightmares piled together."
"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Multiple nightmares are mixed together and slowly ferment. What kind of monster will be born from the deep ocean of negative emotions?"
Chen Ge stood in the corridor. He had never been so clear-headed before. "In a one-star Trial Mission, my main opponent is a living person; in a two-star Trial Mission, the strongest combatant is a Half Red Specter, like the middle-aged woman who kidnapped the child on the hearse and Wen Wen's sister from the water ghost mission. Three-star Trial Missions are a threshold. Every three-star mission has one or more Red Specters, and most importantly, all the three-star missions contain a door! Be it the Third Sick Hall, Coffin Village, or the underground morgue. The existence of a 'door' is the symbol of a three-star Trial Mission.
"If that's the case, then what is a four-star Trial Mission that is more difficult than a three-star Trial Mission? There are multiple doors in the same scenario? Or is the space behind the door not enclosed but a relatively open cluster of buildings? "
Chen Ge thought the second possibility was more likely. "The difficulty of Li Wan City's Trial Mission is 3.5-star. If the scenario behind the door in Li Wan City is similar to the one in Xiao Bu's game, then it can indirectly prove my speculation. After the door goes out of control, the scenario behind the door will no longer be limited to one building but will expand. If left unchecked, it will eventually become a four-star scenario. "
The culprit had used the hearse on Route 104 to send negative emotions into Li Wan City and then used the despairing passengers as seeds to sow the seeds.
Chen Ge still remembered the conversation he had with the passengers on the hearse. There was a ghost apartment in Li Wan City, and to fulfill a wish, one had to give or bear something.
The culprit in Eastern Jiujiang should have used these people's obsession to turn them into carriers of fear and misfortune, to create more despair and attract more passengers.
The main reason he did this was probably to turn Li Wan City into a four-star scenario.
"Using those who are already in despair as chess pieces, this monster in Eastern Jiujiang is even more despicable than the Society of Strange Tales." Chen Ge was very calm. "There is already a four-star Trial Mission in Eastern Jiujiang — Ghost Fetus. Could it be that the thing that is pulling the strings is from this scenario?"
The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The culprit in Eastern Jiujiang always appeared in the form of a shadow, and the scarier thing was that just a shadow could fight with Zhang Ya.
"A three-star scenario shouldn't have this kind of monster. Zhang Ya should represent the peak of a three-star scenario, so the monster has to be related to a four-star scenario. His main body is probably trapped somewhere, or his main body can't leave easily, so he can only use this method to stir up trouble in Eastern Jiujiang."
Standing in the stairwell, Chen Ge was deep in thought when the door of the rightmost home on the thirteenth floor suddenly opened, and a fat middle-aged man stood at the door, holding his phone.
"What are you screaming about?"
"Hmm?"
After a short conversation, the middle-aged man and Chen Ge's eyes met.
Chen Ge saw that the pipe in the middle-aged man's home was not closed, and strands of black hair were flowing against the current.
The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Chen Ge's hand, attracted by the scary-looking hammer in Chen Ge's palm.
It was hard to imagine that something so barbaric and bloody could be found in a modern city.
Blood grooves, barbs, and a handle that looked like a spine — every detail of this hammer seemed to be telling others that it was fundamentally different from the hammers used at construction sites.
"You …"
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Ge was polite to the middle-aged man. Not harming the innocent was his style.
Dragging the hammer with one hand, Chen Ge rammed into the room and aimed at the pipe that was supplying water to the bathroom!
"Bang!"
A loud explosion came from inside the room. The pipe burst, and the water splashed several meters away, landing directly on the middle-aged man's face. He was scared out of his wits, and his mouth hung open for a long time.
"Xu Yin!"
After his first encounter with the water ghost, Chen Ge had learned his lesson. He predicted the water ghost's location and smashed the pipe before the water ghost.
Kicking the bathroom door shut, Chen Ge summoned Bai Qiulin and Xu Yin at the same time and had them block the two ends of the pipe.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Wet black hair crawled out from the pipe and covered the whole bathroom. The water ghost was making its last struggle.
The mirror shattered, the pipe snapped, and the sound of struggle came out from the narrow bathroom.
"What … what is he doing inside?" The middle-aged man looked at the water that leaked out from under the bathroom door. After a long time, he finally reacted and called the police.
"Hey! Is it the police? A madman just barged into my home, come quickly! "
"Is he aggressive? Yes! He's very dangerous! He's holding an elder's hammer! "
"I don't know him! Once he barged in, he smashed the pipe! I swear, I didn't say anything. I just exchanged a look with him! "
"Okay, I understand! I won't provoke him anymore. I'll leave first, come quickly! "
…
Half an hour later, Chen Ge finally had the water ghost under control.
The narrow space was not conducive to his full potential. He and Bai Qiulin guarded the water pipe and the underground pipe, and the main force was still Xu Yin.
"If he's so hard to deal with on the ground, it's hard to tell what will happen if he really runs into him inside the dam." After the battle with the water ghost, Chen Ge noticed a problem. The water ghost's attack style would become extremely strange when it was surrounded by water, and its combat power would double.
"Thankfully, I caught him on land, or else this mission would be no less difficult than a normal three-star Trial Mission." Chen Ge shoved the wriggling black hair in Xu Yin's hand into a shampoo bottle. Behind the black hair, there was the shadow of a girl. She was wearing a bloodied shirt, and she looked similar to Wen Wen, but she was slightly older than Wen Wen.
"She's just a child. She won't be able to survive without a parent at this age."
After shoving the hair into the shampoo bottle, Chen Ge placed it inside his backpack and placed it next to the recorder.
"The two-star Trial Mission hasn't started yet, but I've already captured the boss alive. After the water ghost joins the Haunted House family, I'll go to the dam to see if I can recruit her subordinates. "
Satisfied, Chen Ge shoved the hammer back into his backpack and opened the bathroom door.
"Don't move! Stay where you are! Don't move! " A shout came from the door. Chen Ge was given a fright, but his expression soon turned strange because the voice sounded familiar.
Raising his hands, Chen Ge slowly walked out from the bathroom.
When they saw his face, the two officers were also shocked.
"Officer Xiao Qing, I told you two days ago at the fishing enthusiast's yard that we would meet again." Chen Ge smiled shyly. "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
