"Looking for heaven inside the well?" Chen Ge looked at the boy's shadow, and he was suddenly reminded of something. His expression almost went out of control.
Turning around to take a deep breath, Chen Ge forced himself to calm down. His reaction earlier was not noticed by the woman.
However, just as he was feeling lucky, he lowered his head to realize that the boy was staring at him. His gaze was similar to how he had looked at Xu Wan in the mortician's make-up.
"Fan Yu, it's time to go home." The woman called again, and the boy finally left the well. He kept his head lowered, and his mood seemed to have improved.
Exiting the Haunted House, the sun shone on them again, and the boy reverted to his normal self. He was silent, and there was undisguised fear in his eyes. It was unclear whether he was afraid of the light or a living person.
The woman thanked Chen Ge and led the boy away. It was not until the two of them walked out of the park's entrance that Chen Ge sighed in relief. The black phone in his pocket also vibrated at that moment.
He sat on the steps of the Haunted House, and his mind was filled with memories of what had happened earlier.
"Looking for heaven inside the well," for the boy, that was probably not a misunderstood sentence.
When Chen Ge was conversing with the woman, the woman had told Chen Ge that the boy's parents had disappeared when he was five or six. To make him feel better, the woman had told him a white lie, saying that his parents were not dead but had gone to a place called heaven.
She had hoped that as the boy grew up, he would understand everything on his own, but things did not go as she wished. The boy's mind and mind were greatly affected, and he could not be considered a normal child anymore.
To Chen Ge's surprise, when he asked the boy why he had been standing by the well, the boy's answer was that he was looking for heaven.
His parents had gone to heaven, but the boy was looking for heaven inside the well. Was this proof that the boy had witnessed a murder and that his parents had been shoved into the well?
"The bodies are hidden inside the well!" Chen Ge pulled out a cigarette unnaturally. He did not hurry to call the police but continued to speculate.
"The boy's parents are teachers at Mu Yang High School. One of the side missions for School of the Afterlife that I activated happened to be at Mu Yang High School, and it was related to a well. If they are talking about the same well, then the crime scene should be at Mu Yang High School."
Chen Ge took out the black phone. There was an unread message on the screen, and he clicked it open.
"Different choices will result in completely different results. The first special visitor has left. You have made the right choice. Congratulations for obtaining the reward! Unlocked Hidden Trial Mission — Mu Yang High School! This scenario is a branch of the four-star scenario, School of the Afterlife. Completing it will unlock the two-star scenario, Mu Yang High School, and the difficulty of the four-star scenario will be lowered! "
"Mu Yang High School's Trial Mission (Scream Factor 2 Stars): This scenario has four side missions. If you survive after completing all of them, the scenario has been unlocked.
"Mission: Mu Yang High High School.
"Mission requirements: Arrive at the mission site before 23 o 'clock today and survive until dawn.
[Quest hint: Everyone has an unfathomable well in their heart. Buried in the well are unspeakable memories that they cannot bear to recall.]
"Do you wish to accept the mission? "Warning: Trial Mission will only last for twenty-four hours. If you do not accept it within twenty-four hours, it will be considered as giving up, and the scenario will never be unlocked."
The new message on the black phone caught Chen Ge off guard. He did not expect the reward for receiving a special visitor to be a Trial Mission for a two-star scenario.
He had already experienced the terror of Trial Missions at Ping An Apartments. They were much more dangerous than a Nightmare Mission, and that was just a one-star Trial Mission.
Looking at the phone, Chen Ge memorized the mission information in his mind. He read each word several times.
"The previous mission required me to find the killer, but this mission only requires me to survive until dawn. It doesn't look hard, but based on the black phone's principle of equal exchange, the danger of this mission is much higher than Murder by Midnight!"
As long as he was alive, it was such a simple request, but Chen Ge had no idea how to handle it.
Trial Missions could only last for twenty-four hours. If he did not accept them, he would never unlock them. That was the thing that bothered Chen Ge the most. He did not know whether giving up on this mission would affect the four-star scenario, School of the Afterlife.
Even though with his current condition, unlocking a four-star scenario was impossible, he still felt his heart ache.
"Giving up on this mission is equivalent to giving up on the School of the Afterlife. Losing two scenarios at once is such a waste." Chen Ge weighed the pros and cons in his mind. "If I don't go, I'll lose two scenarios. If I can survive, not only will I unlock a two-star scenario, I'll also complete the side mission for the School of the Afterlife. The Haunted House needs to be renovated to maintain its clientele. This two-star scenario came at the perfect time. I should give it a try. "
New Century Park was about to close, and he needed to show results in three months. Two scenarios were not enough. After giving it some thought, Chen Ge finally came to a decision. He clicked on the accept option.
The message disappeared, and Chen Ge decided not to waste any more time. He called Xu Wan and told her to come back after dinner. Then he chased after the boy.
The boy was the initiator of Mu Yang High School's Trial Mission, so he would be able to find more clues from him.
Chen Ge ran to the park entrance and saw the boy and the woman getting on a bus.
"Bus 14."
Chen Ge flagged down a taxi and hopped into it. "Go to the next stop on Route 14."
He soon arrived at the stop. He waited for one minute before the bus slowly pulled into the station.
The bus was filled with passengers. The woman stood at the back of the bus, protecting the boy. She did not notice Chen Ge.
"Follow them home. Perhaps there'll be a surprise." Chen Ge did not rush to find them. He stood at the front of the bus alone.
After seven stops, the number of people on the bus dwindled, and the destination became more deserted.
When they were about to reach the last stop, the woman and the boy got off the bus. They did not take the main road but turned into an alley.
"They're staying at such a secluded place? Then again, the woman herself said that she had gone to many doctors to treat the boy. She must have spent a lot of money. "
Chen Ge followed behind them into the alley. He did not walk for long when the woman and the boy suddenly picked up their pace.
