"My Haunted House is very famous in Jiujiang. You can search for it online, and you'll know that it offers the best treatment in the industry. When we return, I'll slowly train you, and hopefully, you'll fall in love with this job. "
After the baleful specters, Chen Ge gained three living employees, and these three were different from Xiao Gu and Xu Wan. They knew everything that had happened in Li Wan City, and their mindset was different from normal people. Chen Ge did not worry about them entering the underground scenario.
"This world is not as simple as we think it is. The main reason I didn't want your help earlier is because I've taken in some homeless specters, so …"
"We understand!" The few understood Chen Ge's meaning. After experiencing the strange things in Li Wan City, they could understand Chen Ge's difficulty.
"That's good." Chen Ge arranged for Scissors and the rest to enter the underground scenario to deal with emergencies.
As the Haunted House continued to expand, the underground scenario became bigger, and the number of visitors increased. Chen Ge would not be able to handle all of them alone.
"After the sun rises, take a good rest and tell your family that you're safe." Chen Ge then turned to Scissors and the doctor. "One of you is here to look for your brother, and the other is here to see his wife. In a bit, I'll bring you around Li Wan City. Hopefully, you'll be able to find them."
Hearing that Chen Ge was going to help him find his lost family, Scissors nodded heavily. The doctor's expression softened as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "Thank you."
"It's my pleasure." Scissors and the doctor were the only ones left at home, so they did not have to worry, but the drunkard was different. It was an accident that he had taken the bus to Li Wan City, so in many ways, he was a normal person.
"My home is in Xin Hai City. After the curse is controlled, I wish to go back." The drunkard scratched his head. "Don't look at me like that. Actually, my family is quite rich, but after my mother passed away, my relationship with my father has been strained, so I've come to Jiujiang to make a living. After tonight, I've gotten over many things. I'm not that young anymore, so I wish to find a chance to talk to him. "
"Rich second generation?" Scissors and Chen Ge really did not expect the drunkard to have such a past.
"Don't you think it's rude to call someone a second-generation rich kid in front of them?" The drunkard held his forehead. He already had a feeling that his future was going to be very exciting. "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhang Jingjiu. My alcohol tolerance is very low, but my clients like to call me Drunkard. I used to sell houses and was a liquor agent."
"My name was given by the orphanage. I don't like it, so you should just call me Scissors."
Scissors and the drunkard gave a simple introduction, but when it was the doctor's turn, he shook his head like there was something that he could not say.
Chen Ge did not dwell on this question. They followed Xiao Bu back to Li Wan City to meet up with Fan Cong.
"Mr. Chen!" Fan Cong was very happy to see Chen Ge, but other than that, there was also a trace of worry. He had no idea how his big brother, Fan Dade, was doing.
"Your big brother will be fine." After comforting Fan Cong, Chen Ge led the three living employees to walk around Li Wan City.
With the excuse of finding Scissors and the doctor's family, Chen Ge searched through the whole small town, but he did not find anything left behind by the Society of Strange Tales. The Specters that stayed inside the buildings had silently left after the incident with the shadow.
After searching for a long time, Scissors and the doctor still did not see the people that they wanted to see, and they were feeling quite down.
"The shadow has been killed. We can come back to this place often in the future. We'll run into them sooner or later." Chen Ge did not know whether it was a good idea to say that or not, but he believed that sometimes people lived for the sake of hope, so it was necessary to have that thought.
"Let's prepare to leave. We've stayed behind the door for a long time already. It's time to go out and take a look."
The mission in Li Wan City had given Chen Ge many rewards. Other than the unlocking of the scenario and the increase in his employees' power, he had also found out something about the four-star scenario, the ghost fetus.
The ghost baby that grew out from the shadow's chest was probably how the ghost fetus looked when it was born, and Chen Ge had memorized the baby's face in his heart.
The group returned to the residential area where Fan Cong lived. Chen Ge had Xiao Bu prepare before opening the door while he placed the unconscious Lee Zheng in the room next door. Then, he started to exchange information with Scissors and the rest. In terms of dealing with police interrogation, Chen Ge could be said to be a master.
…
Inside an old building on the eastern side of Li Wan City, a family of three was cornered in a corner.
The man was in his forties. He was squeezed together with a woman with a numb expression, and there was a little boy standing next to them.
"The shadow is already dead, so why are we still here? If you're interested in the three of them, just kill them. Or do you want to play a game of cat and mouse? "Bei Ye squatted on the ground, holding the knife. Standing next to him was a tall and thin young man.
"I repeat, I'm different from you." Gu Ming grabbed the boy's face to study it. "Yes, it's him."
"What are you talking about?" Bei Ye walked over, and that gave the boy quite a scare.
"The shadow has done many crazy things while possessing me, and because of that, I know many secrets about the shadow. He once tried to plant a part of his body into the mother's womb to test how many curses and resentment a living person could endure. In my memory, he has only succeeded twice. The first time was to create the ghost fetus, and the second time, he created this little monster. "Gu Ming looked at the boy and the numb woman with a scary gaze.
"Then, this boy is a part of the ghost fetus?" Bei Ye had no idea what Gu Ming was up to. He had agreed to cooperate with Gu Ming because Gu Ming knew many secrets.
"After the shadow succeeded, he retracted the curse and resentment, but even so, there must be some lingering power in this boy's body. He has the same curse as the ghost fetus, so he should be able to sense the ghost fetus's location. That alone is enough reason for us to take him away. "
"Are you sure? But doesn't this boy look a bit too normal? "
"This normal look is the best disguise. If not for his mother, I really wouldn't have recognized him." Gu Ming picked up the boy and told the couple, "For the sake of this boy, I won't kill you, but I hope you'll listen to me and work with me to stimulate this boy so that he can learn how to control the curse and resentment in his heart."
"No problem." The man agreed easily. He lowered his head, and venom flashed across his eyes.
"Let's go. I know the existence of another door in Eastern Jiujiang. We can leave from there." After saying that, Gu Ming led the others into the blood fog.
