Be it when she was alive or after her death, this was the first time Qiumei had heard such an evaluation of herself.
Her parents had been sent to prison when she was young, and it had been her grandmother who took care of her.
The lack of parental love caused her to be different from other children. She was careless and had a trace of playfulness.
As she grew older, Qiumei became more mature. When she finally decided to say goodbye to her old self and work hard for once, she met Wenyu.
Before the flower bloomed, it wilted, but perhaps because of her childhood experience, Qiumei was not defeated by this sudden accident. She did not lose herself; she was still herself.
This was what Chen Ge admired about her the most.
After watching Chang Gu's movie, Chen Ge still had no idea why Wenyu had entered that school. He had no idea why the left eye would appear on her, and he had no idea what had happened between Wenyu and her brother, Chang Gu. However, he knew that among all the characters that appeared, Qiumei was the most innocent.
A strange audience appeared in the theater, but even stranger than the audience was this living person who suddenly appeared on stage.
Qiumei's undamaged right eye slowly opened, and there was confusion in the red pupil. She was comforted by what the man said, but something felt wrong.
Slowly turning her neck, Qiumei turned to look at Chang Gu, who sat in the middle of the theater.
As if sensing something, Chang Gu raised his lowered head. After a long time, he seemed to have come to some kind of decision, and he sighed softly.
His eyelids fluttered, and Chang Gu's eyes that had been closed slowly opened.
"Who are you?"
Chang Gu's left eye was not that different from a normal person's, but there was a ring of red around the edge of the eyeball. However, his normal right eye looked scary. The pupil appeared to have melted, and only the white of the eye could be seen.
"My left eye is Wenyu's left eye. The surgery did not work, so this eye can only sense simple changes in color and occasionally see things that a normal person would not be able to see." When Chang Gu said that, his eyes were fixed on Qiumei, who was in front of the screen. After the surgery failed, his left eye retained part of its ability.
"My right eye has completely lost its sight. I don't know the exact reason. Perhaps this is the curse of my left eye?" Chang Gu coughed violently a few times and closed his eyes again. However, in the few seconds that he opened his eyes, his left eye was already bleeding.
"Looks like my speculation is correct." Chen Ge was still standing on the stage. He was only a few steps away from Qiumei.
"Not exactly, but there's no point in saying this now." Chang Gu finally managed to stop his coughing. "I can cooperate with you, but how am I supposed to trust the things that you say?"
Chen Ge was afraid that Chang Gu would not relent. If the man's tone changed, he would have many ways to befriend him.
Taking out his phone, Chen Ge found some local news reports in Jiujiang. "I have no reason to lie to you. These news reports can be used as proof. If you still don't believe me, you can go online and search for information about Western Jiujiang's Haunted House."
Chen Ge's attitude was sincere, but Chang Gu could not accept it. A person who used local news reports to prove himself was not someone simple.
Cooperating with the man was like asking a tiger for its skin. Perhaps he would be eaten the next moment.
"If you're willing to cooperate, you can come with me to the Haunted House today. Everything I've said is true." The mission for the School of the Afterlife was about to expire, and Chen Ge was anxious. "This is a win-win situation. I'll give you a day to think about it. I'll come back tomorrow night."
"Wenyu's situation is not looking good, and I'm worried about my parents. In a way, we're in the same boat. I don't force others to do things. If you agree, I'll come back tonight to share the information that I have with you. "
Chen Ge stood on the stage, and there was a loneliness that could not be hidden in his eyes. "We're the same kind of people. No one in this world will help us other than ourselves."
Seeing the loneliness in Chen Ge's eyes, Chang Gu held his bleeding eye and looked at the ghosts in the theater. He had a sense of understanding toward Chen Ge.
"Let me think about it …"
"No problem, I really want to help you because I know that helping you is helping myself." Chen Ge had a high level of thinking, and what he said was very logical. "Wenyu and the School of the Afterlife are the things that you care about the most in your life. I know that my sudden visit is a bit sudden, and it is normal for you to be suspicious and hesitant. To break down the barrier between us, I'm willing to let this Red Specter come back with me. Ghosts can see through people's hearts. You can let her inspect the place to see whether I'm lying to you or not."
"You're willing to let a Specter go back with you?" This was the first time that Chang Gu had heard someone make such a request.
"If you're worried about Qiumei's safety, I can also stay behind to accompany you as hostages." Chen Ge felt like he was doing the right thing; it was fair from any perspective.
"You want your friends to stay behind as hostages?" Chang Gu shivered. If he really let them stay behind, it would be hard to say who would be the hostages. "There's no need. I trust you."
Chang Gu wanted to say something, but Chen Ge turned around to look at Qiumei again.
"The first time you trusted someone, you lost your freedom; the second time you trusted someone, you lost your life; today is the third choice that you have before you." Chen Ge was just a normal person, but standing before Qiumei, he did not show any fear. His voice was warm and powerful.
"Let's go, I'll show you a different scenery." Chen Ge opened the comic. When the girl hesitated like she did not understand the situation, Chen Ge pulled it into the comic.
Qiumei did not resist. Chen Ge closed the comic, and at the same time, the black phone vibrated.
He took out his phone, swiped the screen, and glanced at it.
"Congratulations, Specter's Favored! Congratulations for discovering a special type of Red Specter — Qiumei!
"Qiumei (Red Specter): A Red Specter born due to a special reason. She does not have a strong resentment. In the movie, she has the power of a Red Specter. After leaving the movie, her power will greatly decrease, and her special power will not be triggered.
"Qiumei's special power:??? (Unlocked after becoming a Haunted House employee)
After reading the information, Chen Ge was shocked. Qiumei was indeed a Red Specter, and a very special one at that.
"Isn't this kind of rare employee exactly what I need?" Chen Ge put the phone away and waved at Chang Gu. He looked very happy.
Chang Gu, who sat in the middle of the theater, held his bleeding left eye. For a moment, he felt like he had lost something.
