"I can give you the child, but you have to think about this. If this kind of thing is not completely solved, it will happen again in the future, and it might not be me who carries the child next time." Chen Ge put Wen Wen down. The child was still holding the shampoo bottle. She seemed to have gotten used to staying with her big sister. Once she was away from her big sister, she would feel very unsafe.
"There's no need for you to worry. I will take good care of Wen Wen." The woman looked at Wen Wen. The girl had calmed down. She did not harm the woman anymore, but she did not leave with the woman either.
"Go home with your aunt. I will help her fulfill her wish." Chen Ge pointed at the shampoo bottle. "Trust me."
After a long time, Wen Wen finally let go of the shampoo bottle and silently held her aunt's hand.
Seeing that Wen Wen had returned to normal, the woman sighed in relief.
"You should go home now. Leave the rest to me." Chen Ge shoved the shampoo bottle inside his backpack and looked at the dark surface of the river.
Sensing the change in his tone, the woman pulled Wen Wen behind her. "What are you doing? We didn't ask for your help, so don't be stupid enough to investigate this. "
Through the woman's words, Chen Ge believed that Wen Wen's aunt knew something, but due to various reasons, she did not say it.
"You are all victims. Those who turn tragedy into tragedy are the real culprits. If they are not stopped, more families will suffer the same pain as you. Despair is contagious, and it will only get harder and harder to stop. " Chen Ge's hands gripped the railing of the bridge. He had no idea whether he was trying to get some useful information to help him complete the Trial Mission or to use his insignificant power to change this imperfect world.
"Then you be careful. I still need to go to work tomorrow, so I won't keep you company." The woman held Wen Wen's hand and walked away. After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. She stood where she was for a few seconds before turning around to tell Chen Ge, "Seed requires three things — the seed, the fetus, and the mother's body. Planting a child's life into another child's body, this is Seed. If many people's lives are planted into one person's body at the same time, using the whole city as the mother, when the seed germinates, what kind of monster will grow?"
Chen Ge was thinking about something when the woman suddenly said that. He almost thought that he had heard wrong.
"After my parents left that night, I secretly followed them to Li Wan City and saw some things." The woman seemed to be talking to herself. Then, she held Wen Wen's hand and left.
Chen Ge stood by the bridge, watching the woman's back as she walked away.
"Using the whole city as the matrix?" Chen Ge gripped the railing. He realized that things were more serious than he thought. "Countless children's lives and despairing humans as the seed, the city as the matrix, and the fetus might be the ghost fetus."
"Li Wan City's difficulty is 3.5 stars, and the ghost fetus' difficulty is four stars. What is the relationship between the two?" Chen Ge's mind was filled with many questions. "Wen Wen's family might just be the most basic experiment to prove that Seed will produce a certain effect. Li Wan City is the real testing ground for the culprit, and Xiao Bu is probably the 'fetus' chosen by the culprit, but why does it insist on creating the ghost fetus? Could it be that it's trying to be reborn like the well ghost at Coffin Village? "
The door in Li Wan City had already gone out of control. How strong Xiao Bu was, Chen Ge had no idea. Perhaps she was a very unique Red Specter, and that was why she was chosen by the culprit.
"The limit of a three-star scenario is a Top Red Specter, but that's hard to say."
Thinking back to the woman's last sentence, Chen Ge thought about it and realized some details that he had forgotten. "If the culprit plans to use the whole city as the matrix and all the living humans as the seed, then he definitely needs a medium to interact with everyone. The first time I saw the shadow was at Eastern Jiujiang's fresh water plant, and everything happened at Eastern Jiujiang Dam, which is not far from the plant. The water plant purifies the water from Eastern Jiujiang Dam, and both of these stations are on the route of bus 104. Is the culprit after drinking water? The man from the fishing association said that he saw many water ghosts at the dam. Under normal circumstances, that shouldn't happen. Could Eastern Jiujiang Dam be part of the culprit's plan? "
The situation was much worse than he thought. Chen Ge hailed a taxi and rushed to Eastern Jiujiang Dam.
The dark water rippled occasionally. When Chen Ge arrived at Eastern Jiujiang Dam, it was already 11 pm.
"Is anyone there?" He knocked lightly on the manager's door, and ten seconds later, the lights came on.
"Who is it?" There was caution in the voice. The person got off the bed but did not open the door immediately.
"Brother Zhang, we've met before. Wasn't there someone fishing for the king that day? In the end, it was me who delivered the fishing rod. "
"I do remember you. Why are you here at the dam so late at night?" Probably because he thought Chen Ge's voice was familiar, the man's tone softened.
"I wish to borrow our boat." Before Chen Ge finished, the door was pushed open.
The manager, Zhang Dabo, was wearing a jacket, and he looked surprised. "Borrow a boat?"
"Yes, I wish to confirm something. I need to go to the dam to fish something out." Chen Ge's eyes were determined, and his tone brooked no argument.
"I don't care what you want to confirm, but I can't allow you to ignore your life like that. There's a king fish in the dam, and you're going to fish it out in the middle of the night. What if there's an accident? "Zhang Dabo shook his head.
"Brother Zhang, when I went to deliver the fishing rod that day, I found a dead body buried in the man's house. The police might come looking for you soon."
"They came this morning." Zhang Dabo looked at Chen Ge with a bitter smile. "That gave me quite a scare. I didn't expect to be alone with a murderer for so long."
"Actually, I've been in contact with the police. You can search for the owner of Western Jiujiang's Haunted House online. I've worked with the police to solve many big and heavy cases. This time, I'm borrowing your boat to investigate something. " Chen Ge took out his phone and opened his contact list. In the pitifully small contact list, more than half of them had names like police, officer, and captain.
After much persuasion, Zhang Dabo finally agreed. "I can lend you the boat, but I won't be coming with you."
"Okay."
"By the way, what are you planning to fish for?" Zhang Dabo was curious.
"A dead body, a little girl's body."
This answer was obviously different from what Zhang Dabo expected. He rubbed his hands and did not know what to say.
Opening the warehouse door, Zhang Dabo took out the paddle, the fish spear, and the rope. "Wait a minute."
He turned to enter the management room and took out a flashlight. "Don't worry, the light from this thing can travel very far at night. If you're in danger, just wave it at the shore, and I … will help you call the police."
"Thank you." Chen Ge placed the things at the front of the boat. Then he pressed the button on the recorder and jumped onto the boat.
"Normally, it takes several teams to fish for a dead body. Are you sure you can do this alone?" Zhang Dabo thought that Chen Ge's method was quite unreliable.
"Don't worry, I'm not doing this alone." After sitting on the boat, Chen Ge took out the comic and dropped the vat ghost into the water.
