Chen Ge had held his breath for too long, and he still had not recovered from the shock.
His head was heavy, but even in that state, he still gripped the lid of the coffin and the rope that pierced through the doll's heart tightly.
Taking a few deep breaths, Chen Ge finally adjusted himself, and he turned to look at the phone.
"Twin Water Ghost (Mission Difficulty: Two Stars), Mission Completion Rate: one hundred percent. Obtained Hidden Item — The Drowned Man's Jacket.
"The Drowned Man's Jacket (Malice Points: 17): There are things underwater. They slowly crawled into my clothes and dragged me deeper into the water.
Mission Completion Rate: one hundred percent. Looks like the hole at the bottom of the dam was not included in the Twin Water Ghost Mission. Chen Ge pocketed the black phone, but there were still many questions in his mind. The coffin is stuck in the middle of the hole, is it to block the hole?
Earlier, Chen Ge had noticed that Xu Yin did not dare approach the back of the coffin lid, so he had a feeling that the secret of the coffin was hidden on the lid.
After putting on his clothes, Chen Ge placed the coffin lid horizontally on the boat. I can't carry this thing back, and the taxi probably won't allow me to bring it with me. I need to figure something out.
The coffin lid that Chen Ge had pulled out from the water was much smaller than a normal coffin lid. The surface was rotten, and there were some red spots on it. It was unclear whether they were the carcasses of insects or some kind of wilted aquatic plant.
After removing the spots on the surface, Chen Ge made a shocking discovery at the back of the coffin lid.
There was a demon carved on the rotten wooden board. The demon was wrapped in chains and had six eyes. It looked similar to the demon that the Society of Strange Tales had carved on the door of their Haunted House.
The Society of Strange Tales held a ritual, killed people, and gouged out their eyes. Finally, they created something like this on the door of my Haunted House. At the time, they wanted to take over my Haunted House's door, so this demon should have the effect of guarding the 'door'. Chen Ge took out his phone to snap a picture of the demon. The coffin is stuck at the hole, and the demon is carved on the coffin lid. Could this be to guard the hole under the dam? To prevent the things inside from escaping?
Using a coffin to guard the cave, only Chen Ge would come up with such an idea.
The black phone has given me a mission to retrieve the body, which means that it should have considered the possibility that I'll be taking the coffin with me. In that case, even if there's something scary inside the cave, it won't be a threat to me. Since the coffin lid had been taken out, it was impossible for Chen Ge to return it. Chen Ge came up with an excuse for himself. "The coffin was probably set up by the culprit in Eastern Jiujiang, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It doesn't want the monster inside the cave to come out, so I have to release it."
Chen Ge did not know what was in the cave, nor did he know where it led to.
To be honest, he wasn't curious at all. He just wanted to get away from this place first. He didn't want something to come out and vent its anger on him.
Just as Chen Ge was about to row the boat away, a dark shadow appeared on the calm surface of the water.
"I almost forgot about her."
The shadow stuck to the edge of the boat, and strands of black hair poked out of the water. They crawled into the boat like they had a life of their own before crawling into one of the dolls.
Picking up the doll, Chen Ge realized that this doll was different from the others. She was wearing a blood-stained dress, and her hair was real human hair. The name that was carved on the back was also blood red.
"Zhao Shuang 'er? This doll is Wen Wen's big sister? "The Twin Water Ghost mission had been completed, but there were still many dolls on the boat.
"All the dolls have names carved on their backs, and each of them represents a life." When he was underwater, Chen Ge could sense the fear and anxiety of the children. They were still young, and most of them had not seen the world.
"There are too many things involved in this. I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it alone. I'd better tell Captain Yan and the rest." Ninety percent of Jiujiang's missing population happened in Eastern Jiujiang. If they all died because of the shadow's plan, then the number would be scary.
Chen Ge took down the doll that Wen Wen's big sister was hiding in. There was something strange about the doll — her clothes were always wet.
Chen Ge was worried that she would wet the comic, so he shoved it into his pocket.
Summoning all the ghosts, Chen Ge rowed the boat back to the bank.
When Zhang Dabo saw Chen Ge return safely, he sighed in relief. He had been worried sick by the bank.
The man before him had not only gone to the dam to fish for dead bodies at night, he had jumped into the dam without any safety measures. Just watching from the bank, Zhang Dabo's heart was pounding. He was afraid that the King Fish would suddenly appear to attack Chen Ge.
"Brother, give me a hand." The boat reached the bank, and Chen Ge pushed the coffin lid toward the bank.
"What is this?" Zhang Dabo was a practical person. He grabbed the lid and pulled it toward the bank.
"A coffin lid. I found it at the bottom of the dam."
"A coffin?" Hearing what Chen Ge said, Zhang Dabo almost fell to the ground. "Didn't you go to fish for dead bodies? Why are you dragging a coffin lid up here? "
"There are four bodies at the bottom of the dam. I can't deal with them alone. I'd better call the police and get the professionals to do this."
"Four … four?" Zhang Dabo could not believe there were so many dead bodies at the dam that he normally guarded.
Chen Ge moved everything from the boat to the bank, and his phone rang at that moment.
"Should I call the police now?" Zhang Dabo looked at the coffin lid, and his eyes were empty.
"There's no rush. I'll take this first." It was Lee Zheng who called Chen Ge. When Chen Ge saw Huang Ling's husband, he had messaged Captain Yan and Lee Zheng, but probably because it was too late, they did not reply immediately.
Pressing the answer button, before Chen Ge could say anything, Lee Zheng's voice came from the other end.
"Chen Ge, you said Huang Ling's husband is a murder suspect? How confident are you? "
"One hundred percent. I suggest you capture him as soon as possible. The man is very dangerous, and the longer you wait, the worse the situation will be." Chen Ge said confidently, "Other than that, I found four female bodies at Eastern Jiujiang's dam."
"Eastern Jiujiang?"
"Yes, underwater. When I went down to investigate, Huang Ling's husband was nearby."
Lee Zheng did not ask why Chen Ge would go to the dam to look for bodies in the middle of the night. He gave Chen Ge the answer directly. "Wait there, our people will be there soon."
"Thank you." After hanging up, Chen Ge glanced at Zhang Dabo, who was spacing out. "Brother, the police will be here soon. I might need to trouble you again."
"It's no trouble. If there's anything you need, just tell me." After everything that had happened, the way Zhang Dabo looked at Chen Ge had changed.
At 3: 10 am, the officers from Eastern Jiujiang's station arrived at the same time.
At the same time, Chen Ge received another call from Lee Zheng.
"Chen Ge, something's wrong. I've personally gone to Huang Ling's home to take a look. Huang Ling is delirious, and her husband is not home.
"Follow the surveillance at Eastern Jiujiang's dam. You should be able to confirm his movement route. This person is very important and dangerous, so you have to be careful when you search for him."
