Chen Ge thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer.
"I know too little, but it's not like I've come up empty-handed tonight." He narrowed his eyes to look at the riverbank. Huang Ling's husband had already left. "Before this, I thought he was just a small fry, but it turns out he's the biggest fish."
Chen Ge had one good thing about him — he did not like to do things that went in circles. He decided to go to Huang Ling's home after he completed the Twin Water Ghost mission.
The fog above the dam slowly dissipated, and the surroundings were dark. Chen Ge glanced at the time; it was almost 1 am.
"I've been in the fog for so long?" When the boat reached the center of the dam, it was not even midnight, and now it was almost an hour later.
"Lao Zhou, has the Vat Ghost returned?" Chen Ge stood at the front of the boat and looked down the rope. The dam was deeper than he had expected. Even with Yin Yang Vision, he could not see the bottom.
Lao Zhou was not in a good state. He had been scared by Zhang Ya, so he could not speak as naturally to Chen Ge.
Before this, he had always thought that his boss was a kind and kind person. He had gathered the ghosts at the Haunted House through virtue, but after seeing Zhang Ya walk out from Chen Ge's shadow at such a close distance, his opinion had changed.
To be able to spend so much time with such a scary Red Specter, to the point where they were inseparable, was that something a normal person could do?
He even started to suspect that his boss had been controlled by a Red Specter and was nothing more than a puppet.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
Chen Ge's concerned tone caused Lao Zhou to shiver. He finally recovered and quickly waved his hands. "I'm fine, I'm fine. What did you ask earlier?"
"When I was spacing out, did the Vat Ghost return?"
"No, the rope didn't even move." Lao Zhou shook his head. "Actually, I didn't notice it. I was too busy looking at you."
"Looking at me? By the way, did you see a boy who looks like me walking over from afar? "
"Little boy?" Lao Zhou's puzzled expression explained a lot. Only Chen Ge and Zhang Ya had seen what happened before.
"Did you notice anyone on the other side of the river?" Jen wanted to know more about Huang Ling's husband.
"I don't know, but the fog seems to be drifting from there." Lao Zhou's words confirmed Chen Ge's speculation. "Is there a problem with the fog?"
Lao Zhou was very smart. He immediately figured out the crux of the problem.
"I don't know what their goal is for now. They don't just want to kill me. It seems like they want me to see something and lead me down the wrong path." Any other person would be traumatized when they saw their younger self being killed. Thankfully, under the training of the black phone, Chen Ge had a strong heart and strong nerves.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. The Vat Ghost hasn't returned, so he's probably in danger. Help me communicate with the female ghost inside the shampoo bottle. See if she can help bring the Vat Ghost up." The Vat Ghost dove into the water alone. Facing so many unfamiliar water ghosts, Chen Ge was worried about his safety.
Lao Zhou relayed Chen Ge's words to Wen Wen's sister. After a while, the shampoo bottle was opened, and strands of dirty, smelly black hair crawled out.
She seemed to want to climb onto Chen Ge's body, but she was afraid.
"What is this?" Chen Ge turned to Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou was confused.
The black hair was stuck together, and if one did not look closely, they would look like seaweed.
"It's the same hair, but this is the complete opposite of Zhang Ya's." Chen Ge squatted down. He made a very brave decision and reached out to grab the black hair on the boat.
"How do you want me to help you?" His fingers gripped one end of the hair. It was wet and slippery like he was holding a live fish.
The black hair curled around Chen Ge's finger. She was very careful and only dared to touch Chen Ge's finger. She did not even dare to touch his palm.
One end of the hair curled around Chen Ge's finger, and the other end reached toward the water.
"You want to drag me down with you?" Chen Ge did not think the other party was that brave. Zhang Ya had just appeared, and Xu Yin was standing next to her. In this situation, Wen Wen's sister would not show any intention of harming him. "Are you giving me directions?"
While they were in a stalemate, the rope at the front of the boat moved. Many bubbles popped up, and the Vat Ghost's round head surfaced.
"Why did you stay down there for so long?" Perhaps sensing the concern in Chen Ge's tone, the Vat Ghost opened and closed his mouth. He was no longer that afraid. He excitedly waved his hands at Chen Ge, and another series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
"He found the body, but he can't go over. All the ghosts underwater can't get close." Lao Zhou played the role of translator seriously.
"Ghosts can't get close?" Chen Ge felt the wetness on his fingertips. "Because ghosts can't get close, that's why Wen Wen's sister asked me to help her fish up the body?"
Looking at the surface of the water, this mission was completely different from what he had expected.
Wen Wen's sister was a Half Red Specter, and if she could not get close, then other ghosts would not be able to do anything. Zhang Ya might be able to ignore the obstacles, but unfortunately, Chen Ge could not command her.
"The connection between Xu Yin and me will weaken when he's underwater. He hasn't found his heart, so it's pointless for him to go down there." Xu Yin trusted Chen Ge a lot, and because of that, Chen Ge did not want Xu Yin to do something that he was not confident in.
"Since ghosts can't get close, I'll have to go down there myself." Chen Ge took out the black phone to confirm the mission details. It clearly stated that he had to go alone to fish up the body. "I was wondering why there was such a restriction. So, it's because they're waiting for me."
Chen Ge thought about it and finally made up his mind. "There's nothing to hesitate about. When I first obtained the black phone, I was in a much worse situation than I am now. I wasn't afraid then, so I won't be afraid now."
After securing the rope to the boat, Chen Ge had Lao Zhou and Bai Qiulin guard the rope while he grabbed the flashlight that Zhang Dabo had given him. He removed his shirt and pants and jumped into the dam.
The water was low, but Chen Ge did not feel cold. It was unclear whether it was because he was physically fit or because he had gotten used to the cold.
His fingertips were entwined by Wen Wen's sister's black hair, and the woman was gently pulling Chen Ge toward a certain part of the dam.
He took a deep breath and had the Vat Ghost and Xu Yin guard him. He used his arms and legs to push his body downward.
He turned on the flashlight, and the light twisted in the dark water. Even with Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge's vision was limited.
His fingers were dragged by the black hair, and time slowed down. Chen Ge seemed to have entered a different world. It was very quiet, and it gave him a strange feeling. It was like he was a fetus that had not been born yet and was still inside his mother's womb.
With his body lowered, Chen Ge held the flashlight in one hand and the rope in the other.
Pressure came from all directions, and the air in his lungs slowly decreased. Something seemed to touch Chen Ge's body in the dark, but it was unclear whether it was a fish or something else.
He could not speak, and he could not communicate with the ghosts around him. Chen Ge could not even see them. He could only sense Xu Yin and the Vat Ghost beside him, and that was the reason he dared to dive into the water to fish up the body.
Several seconds later, with the guidance of the black hair, Chen Ge saw something that looked like a coffin at the bottom of the dam. It was surrounded by dense water plants.
