Staring at the number on the phone, Chen Ge fell into deep thought. The Red Specter Qiumei, who can travel between the movie and reality, is still inside the comic. Could it be that Chang Gu has abandoned her and run away?
Even though Chen Ge had not spent that much time with Chang Gu, he could sense that Chang Gu was not a cowardly person.
How could a man who swapped the Ghost Eye with his body to save his sister abandon a Red Specter and run away?
Has he run into something that he cannot solve? Is it because my arrival has given him a sense of danger?
He hailed a taxi to Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Village. With his previous experience, this time, Chen Ge climbed over the wall with great familiarity.
The clothes that were hanging out to dry last time haven't been put away. The trash around me hasn't changed either. Did Chang Gu leave on the night I left?
Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder to summon Xu Yin. With Xu Yin's accompaniment, he entered the Dead Man's Theater for the second time.
The door was open, and there was a musty smell in the air. The room was a mess. It felt like someone had been looking through the place before Chen Ge arrived.
There are no footprints on the ground, and there is no dirt on the stage. The tapes have been moved, and all the movies backstage have been deleted … Chen Ge's observation was very detailed. He did not miss a single spot and inspected the whole theater.
"Yesterday, after I left, someone else came in! The person appeared to be looking for something inside the theater, but unfortunately, they returned empty-handed. "
Chen Ge came to the theater's workshop. "This place also shows signs of being searched. The person kept searching, which means that they haven't found what they are looking for."
Turning on the projector, the login page required a password, and this password was only known to Chang Gu.
"If Chang Gu had been captured by them, then there would be no need for them to rummage through this place and mess everything up." Chen Ge did not know who the people who came after him were, but he had a feeling that they had already set their eyes on Chang Gu. It was just that they had been hiding in the dark and did not make a move. His sudden appearance that night had messed up their plans. That was why they acted immediately after he left.
"Chang Gu's biggest secret is the left eye that he obtained from Chang Wenyu, and the left eye was brought out by Chang Wenyu from the School of the Afterlife. The group of people's sudden visit, could it be because of the School of the Afterlife?"
The easiest way to solve these puzzles was to find Chang Gu and ask him face to face.
Chen Ge opened the comic and released Qiumei. This unique Red Specter's eyes were filled with confusion, just like when she was first taken away.
"Chang Gu has disappeared. Can you contact him?" Chen Ge asked directly. There were only twenty hours left until the end of the School of the Afterlife mission, and every second was precious.
Hearing that Chang Gu had disappeared, Qiumei's expression changed instantly. Blood vessels surfaced on her face, and her empty eyes locked onto Chen Ge.
"Calm down, I'm trying to help you!"
Before Qiumei got close, Xu Yin already stood before Chen Ge. Sticky blood dripped to the ground, and the whole theater was covered in a thin layer of blood.
Fear and anger mixed together, and Qiumei's lips opened to scream shrilly.
"Don't panic. If I'm not mistaken, your possession should be the left eye or the movie recording. Be it the recording or the left eye, they should be on Chang Gu now. Try to sense the location of your possession, and you should be able to find Chang Gu. "
Chen Ge repeated it many times before Qiumei understood what Chen Ge meant. She closed her eyes, and her body started to fade. The blood vessels quickly disappeared.
The whole process lasted for about one minute. When Qiumei opened her eyes again, she rushed out of the theater.
"Quick! Follow her! "
Unable to communicate, Chen Ge could only use this method to find Chang Gu.
Qiumei soon left Yong Ling Mountain Resort. She turned away from the road and headed deeper into Yong Ling Mountain.
After chasing for a whole hour, Qiumei finally stopped. Before her was a small house that belonged to a forest ranger.
"Chang Gu is hiding here?"
Chen Ge knocked on the door and whispered, "Chang Gu? I'm Chen Ge, the person who accompanied you to the movie that night. I've brought Qiumei back. "
To prove himself, Chen Ge had Qiumei enter the wooden house first.
Moments later, the door opened, and a thin and haggard Chang Gu appeared at the door in old clothes. "Come in."
He held a hatchet in his hand, and there were many wounds on his arms and legs. He was probably scratched by the branches and thorns when he was running.
"Why are you hiding here? After I left that night, did someone go to the resort again? " Chen Ge studied the wooden house. It was furnished with various daily necessities and clean water. This should be the escape route that Chang Gu had prepared for himself.
Nodding lightly, Chang Gu stood at the door with the hatchet. He looked tired, but there was not much panic on his face.
"Who are those people? Why would they want to harm you? " Chen Ge was more curious about this. In the whole of Jiujiang, other than himself, no one should be interested in the 'door'.
"They are also a group of pitiful people." Chang Gu sighed. "My sister Chang Wenyu's situation is not an isolated case, but Chang Wenyu is the only one who has woken up. Some of their children are still unconscious, and some have passed away."
"It's the parents who are looking for things in the projection room? What is going on? "
"There is more than one person who entered the School of the Afterlife, but based on what I know, the only exception is Wenyu, so the parents of those students want to get clues from me." Chang Gu dragged his tired body to sit on the chair. "Their intention was good, but they used the wrong method. If they followed the path that I was exploring, they would fall into the abyss together."
He took a sip of the water on the table. "Everything that I shoot in the movie is real. About ten years ago, I realized that my sister was very abnormal, like there was another soul residing in her body. Therefore, I started to investigate, and then I realized that my sister often talked to herself like she was talking to someone, and then … "
Chang Gu's fists tightened. "To prevent this secret from being leaked, the soul inside her body killed everyone in the family …"
At this point, Chang Gu could not continue. Veins popped on his forehead. After a while, he calmed down. "I was lucky enough to escape, but after that, I did not dare return to that family anymore. That was until one day, I accidentally ran into Qiumei. After slowly getting to know her, I realized that the evil spirit inside Wenyu had already found a substitute, and the scariest thing was, the substitute would go and find its own substitute. The eye was like a recurring nightmare."
His voice was shaking. After a long time, Chang Gu continued. "Qiumei was an exception. Even though she was killed by the substitute, even though she was filled with hatred toward many things, she still maintained the most basic humanity. She was not corrupted by the left eye, and she resisted the temptation of the devil. The nightmare of reincarnation ended with her, and she lived in my sister's body for several years.
"Her kindness gave me a bold idea. I tried to replace the left eye with myself and use it to search for my sister's soul.
"Unfortunately, the surgery failed. Both of my eyes were damaged, and I could only occasionally see special things. That is my story.
