The child's thought process is simple and direct, so he wouldn't draw something abstract. Is it possible that the scene in the painting is the crime scene that Fan Yu once witnessed?
The house is black, which means that the crime happened at night, and the people inside the house are red, which means that the parents have already been murdered. That's the most direct explanation.
Chen Ge studied the painting from different angles. The boy's drawing was sloppy, and the people looked the same. There was nothing special about them, and he could not even tell if they were male or female.
No, the red people shouldn't be the victims; there are many of them inside the house. Chen Ge tried to count the number of red people inside the black room, but the result was different each time. It felt like there were more and more of them. The painting is too blurry. What is the boy trying to express?
When he was in the room, Fan Yu kept repeating his drawings. They were all about houses and little people, but every time he finished drawing, he would crumple the paper into a ball and throw it away. It seemed like he did not draw what he wanted.
"No matter what, this painting is a very important clue." After studying it for a long time, Chen Ge put the paper away and turned to look at the two-story building behind him. The door that was originally open had already been closed.
Both the aunt and the boy are suspicious, but it's hard to tell which one is more suspicious. Walking out from the complicated alley, Chen Ge took the bus back home. He was worried about the mission that night. If what the woman said was true, then he was going to face a very serious test that night.
For the sake of caution, Chen Ge took out his phone to search for information about Mu Yang High School.
There were quite a number of posts, and most of them were found on the school's forums.
Based on the timeline, the posters were most likely former students of Mu Yang High School. Due to the closure of the school, they had been forced to transfer schools, and as they left, the legend of Mu Yang High School spread to other schools.
As he browsed through the posts, there were a few that caught Chen Ge's attention.
One year ago, five students had agreed to go to Mu Yang High School to test their courage. At the time, they had used their phones to livestream their experience on the forum. Every few minutes, they would post a thread.
The original post had already been deleted. What Chen Ge saw was someone else's repost. Apparently, they had entered the sealed classroom and played the Pen Spirit game inside.
The five of them sat at their desks and summoned the Pen Spirit. In the end, there were seven people standing in the classroom.
No one knew why there were two more people. The five children were scared witless and ran out of the school.
Luckily, all five of them were fine, but two of them had been scared to death. One of them had a bad temper, and his personality had changed drastically. The other did not dare to face the sun, so he transferred to another school and left Jiujiang. Apparently, he had gone to another province.
"A newborn calf is truly not afraid of a tiger." Chen Ge looked at some of the comments below the post. A passerby analyzed that there were five people playing the game, and in the end, there were two extra people. After they escaped, two more students happened to have problems. He suspected that the two students who escaped were already different people, and they were probably trapped inside the classroom forever.
Many people liked this comment, but there were others who had a different opinion. They said that all five of them had been replaced, but the two students had strong willpower and would not give in easily. That was why they behaved so strangely.
The second message was posted by a teacher. It strictly prohibited discussion of Mu Yang High School. In the thread below, there was a comment that had been folded.
The content was strange. It said that his father's company was planning to buy the land where Mu Yang High School was located at a low price, and his father was in charge of this project.
Initially, it was nothing, but when the contract was about to be finalized, his father would have the same dream every night. Many students in Mu Yang High School's uniform came to their home for classes.
The weirdest thing was that when he woke up in the morning, there were indeed signs of people being in the room.
His father was so scared that he fell ill. He resigned, and the incident was left unsolved.
After reading all the posts, Chen Ge could not help but compare Mu Yang High School to Western Jiujiang Private Academy, and he came to a strange discovery.
There were many supernatural stories about Mu Yang High School online, but none of them specifically mentioned casualties.
Western Jiujiang Private Academy was the complete opposite. There was almost no information about this school online, but according to the case files at Western Jiujiang's police station, there had been multiple deaths at this school.
"Now that I think about it, Western Jiujiang Private Academy is scarier." Chen Ge held the phone, and that was the only way he could console himself.
Staring out the window, Chen Ge's phone, which had turned black, suddenly vibrated.
He lowered his head to look and saw that it was Heshan.
"Don't tell me this guy is calling to reserve a new scenario because he sensed that there's a new scenario?" Chen Ge answered the call and placed the phone beside his ear. "How can I help you?"
"Boss, you'd better go take a look at the official website. Someone is trying to steal your job!"
"Steal my job? He's planning to open a Haunted House as well? " Chen Ge opened the video, and before he logged in, he saw an advertisement — 'Host Qin Guang brings you to explore the real haunted house!'
He clicked on the screen, and there was a detailed introduction.
Qin Guang was a famous host on this platform. His personal page had more than 600,000 followers. His videos were mostly funny, and he occasionally did outdoor livestreams. The note said that the person belonged to a studio, and that studio was the one that had tried to recruit Chen Ge at Ping An Apartments.
The advertisement said that the person was going to try a new field that night. He was going to enter a haunted house to do a puzzle solving livestream.
That was not a big deal, but when Chen Ge saw where the person was going, he was speechless. Qin Guang's livestream venue was Western Jiujiang's Ping An Apartments.
"Boss, did you see that? This person knows that you're a newcomer, and your first livestream has more than 10,000 viewers, so he's trying to steal your work! "Heshan defended Chen Ge.
"There's no need to be so nervous. Some things can't be copied." Chen Ge thought that Heshan was going to say something big, but he did not expect it to be because of this. He did not take Qin Guang seriously at all, even though Qin Guang probably did not see him as a competitor.
Heshan sped up on the other end of the phone. "He has so many fans. When this genre becomes popular, I'm afraid he'll come back and say that you're just following him!"
"It's fine. By the way, do you know anything about adolescent psychology? I have a few questions for you. "
