Brother Chen's plan was actually very simple. He would make use of the special connection between ghosts and monsters to retrace his steps.
Different from the previous time, he decided to have Bai Qiulin replace him this time.
He wanted to see if the same thing would happen to the ghosts when they were blindfolded.
Bai Qiulin, who had just been summoned, did not understand Brother Chen's plan before his eyes were blindfolded by his boss.
"Don't think about anything. Empty your mind and walk forward." Chen Ge and Xu Yin stood three to four meters away from Bai Qiulin, watching her every move.
If there was any danger, they could come to her rescue in time.
He had no idea what his boss was up to, but in Bai Qiulin's heart, his boss was always right, so he did not ask for the reason and followed Chen Ge's instructions.
They walked along the tunnel for a long time, but Bai Qiulin did not encounter what Chen Ge had encountered.
Even after removing the blindfold, Bai Qiulin was still confused. He had no idea what his boss was trying to do.
"It's useless to blindfold ghosts, so why would something like this happen?" Most ghosts were formed from the lingering thoughts of people after they died. The biggest difference between them and the living was that they did not have a physical body, only a soul.
"Could it be that when I open my eyes in this tunnel, I see the world as a living person, but blindfolded means I'm moving forward as a soul?"
Even if a normal person encountered such a situation, they would not think in this direction, but Chen Ge was different. He had rich experience in certain aspects, and his logical thinking was completely different from a normal person. Most of the time, he would even consider things from the perspective of a ghost.
"I can't be one hundred percent sure, but this is probably just a possibility. However, this experiment has indirectly proven one thing. Only when I'm blindfolded will I encounter those strange things. "Chen Ge was back to square one. Using ghosts to find a way out was not going to work, so he was back to square one.
"Looks like I'll have to do it myself. But with my employees by my side, it'll be much safer this time." Brother Chen brought the ghost back to the taxi and gave a few instructions to Lao Zhou and Bai Qiulin. Then he blindfolded his eyes, held the wall, and walked deeper into the tunnel for the third time.
Darkness engulfed Chen Ge, but this time, he knew that his employees were accompanying him, so he wasn't too worried.
After walking for a full 10 minutes, Chen Ge stopped.
The expected fork in the road did not appear. There was only one tunnel, and it went straight without end.
"Why did I fail this time? What's the problem? " Comparing the first and third attempts, the only difference was that the first time Chen Ge was alone, but the third time, he was accompanied by all the ghost employees.
"Is there a limit to the number of people? No, maybe it's because of the appearance of my employee that something that should have approached me didn't dare to come over. " When the driver disappeared, he had said that something strange had appeared on the left side of Brother Chen's face. Now that he thought about it, the change in the tunnel probably had something to do with that thing.
"The driver disappeared in the middle of his sentence, so it's probably that thing's doing as well." Brother Chen looked at the dark tunnel, and he couldn't make up his mind. If he brought his employee with him, the thing wouldn't dare appear, but if he took his employee away, his own safety wouldn't be guaranteed.
Lowering his head to look at the phone, Chen Ge wanted to confirm how long he had until the deadline, but to his surprise, he realized that the time on the phone was moving backward like it was not a clock but a countdown timer.
"Why is the phone malfunctioning? Why is time moving backward? I've been in this tunnel for at least half an hour already, but how come the time is still the same as when I first entered the tunnel? "
Something had to be wrong. Brother Chen leaned against the wall and frowned in thought.
"No one can play with time, so what's the problem?" He had not felt this anxious for a long time already. Under these circumstances, his employee could not provide him with any help.
There was no way to leave the tunnel, and who knew how much time had passed. Chen Ge had no idea how to escape, much less complete the Trial Mission.
He looked at the dark tunnel, and his expression slowly turned serious. "This didn't happen the last time I came here alone."
Thinking back to his previous mission, Chen Ge came to a decision.
He put all the ghosts back into his backpack, and the originally crowded tunnel instantly became deserted. In the darkness, only two figures stood facing each other.
"Go back, leave the rest to me." Patting Xu Yin's shoulder lightly, Chen Ge switched off the recorder.
He put everything away and stood up straight. His eyes looked down the tunnel, and there was no trace of fear on his face.
"All the missions given by the black phone are fair. Without sacrifice, there will be no reward. The risk is proportional to the reward.
"I haven't taken a risk for a long time already. I've almost forgotten the feeling when I first obtained the black phone. It was like dancing on the edge of a cliff, walking on a tightrope. If I'm not careful, I'll be crushed into pieces." Brother Chen took a deep breath as if letting go of all his worries. He talked to the air. "Now, I'm alone."
He tidied up his backpack and tossed it into the taxi. Similar to the Nightmare Mission, he was unarmed and did not bring any employees with him. He walked into the deepest darkness alone.
"I want to see what will happen to this world after I close my eyes."
With a determined expression, Chen Ge's eyes were filled with disdain like he was purposely provoking the driver.
He picked up the driver's sleeve, and at the last moment before he blindfolded himself, he looked behind him and called Zhang Ya's name in his heart.
There was no reply, and his shadow was the same as usual.
The determination on Chen Ge's face shifted slightly, but he did not back down.
He blindfolded his eyes again. This time, there was no one to accompany him, just like during the Nightmare Mission.
He held the wall and slowly moved forward. He only moved several meters when a rustling sound entered Chen Ge's ears like there were countless centipedes crawling on the wall.
"Once I open my eyes, all my efforts will be wasted. This time, no matter what happens, I will not open my eyes."
Chen Ge's confidence came from Zhang Ya, who was hiding in his shadow. She would not allow Chen Ge to get hurt.
"Come, let me see what's inside this tunnel of yours."
Without hesitation, Chen Ge walked through the rustling sound.
He was using himself as bait, waiting for the 'big fish' inside the tunnel to take the bait.
It felt like someone was blowing into his ears, and his body temperature kept dropping. However, none of that could stop Chen Ge from moving forward.
