Looking at the passing cars, Chen Ge held two cups of milk tea and walked down the isolated road.
From his conversation with the girl, he found out that she was one of the members of the student council. Other than her, there were many other students who had nowhere to go, and they wandered around the city.
"Do you know where they are? Let's go fetch them home. "
The girl did not reject Chen Ge's suggestion. They returned to New Century Park first. After grabbing Yan Danian's comic, they started to search for other homeless children.
They busied themselves until midnight, and there were already more than sixty students' lingering spirits in the comic.
Most of them were in the same class as the girl. Many of them had already given up, waiting for the sun to shine, but they did not expect Chen Ge to appear at that moment.
"Do any of you know anyone else?" Chen Ge very patiently confirmed with every student that he had not missed anything before returning to New Century Park.
He summoned Lao Zhou's group and had them introduce the Haunted House to these new students. In the end, he arranged for all of them to stay at the School of the Afterlife.
This four-star scenario had a serious lack of employees, and the arrival of the students' lingering spirits helped Chen Ge solve a big problem.
"If only you guys had come one day earlier. It's that Liu Gang's fault for not being able to experience a four-star scenario with one hundred percent difficulty."
After dealing with the students, Chen Ge returned to the staff breakroom. "We're going to the futuristic theme park tomorrow, so I'll go to bed early today."
Switching off the lights, Chen Ge hugged the white cat and lay in bed. He habitually took out the black phone to look at it.
Midnight had already passed. After refreshing the daily missions, Chen Ge suddenly sat up with the black phone in his hand.
The three new daily missions were — Recruitment (Normal Difficulty): The scenario is expanding, and there is a serious lack of manpower. You need more employees, so please hire three employees before sunset tomorrow.
Safety Protection (Medium Difficulty): Please install at least twenty surveillance cameras in the new scenario, School of the Afterlife.
Neighbor (Nightmare Difficulty): You don't go home often, so you probably wouldn't expect this. The day before your parents disappeared, something scary happened at home. I know you're curious about what happened that night. Perhaps you can go ask your neighbor.
Chen Ge's eyes focused on the Nightmare Mission. He had not encountered a Nightmare Mission for a long time already.
Normal Daily Missions required time and energy, and the rewards were average, but Nightmare Missions were different. This kind of mission was very dangerous, but it was the only mission that could give Chen Ge some kind of power.
In the previous Nightmare Missions, Chen Ge had obtained Mortician's Make-Up, Yin Yang Vision, and Ghost Ear. These four powers had helped him a lot in many ways.
Through the Nightmare Missions, Chen Ge realized something special. All the Nightmare Missions were related to his parents, and they all seemed to contain clues about his parents' disappearance.
"If you refuse, the daily missions will be refreshed at midnight tomorrow.
Chen Ge glanced at the time. It was 12: 44 am.
"This is not a bad time." Chen Ge thought about it and pointed at the Nightmare Mission.
"Specter's Favored, do you wish to accept the Nightmare Mission? The mission is extremely dangerous!"
"Yes."
After confirming it, the details of the mission appeared on the black phone.
"Neighbor (Nightmare Difficulty): Please find a residential building with more than fifteen floors in Eastern Jiujiang. The building has to fulfill two conditions — it has a basement and does not have a fourteenth floor.
"After you find the location, please enter the stairwell at 2 am. From the moment you step on the stairs, you have to close your eyes.
"Successfully walk from the first floor to the top floor, and the mission will be completed. When you open your eyes, you will see what you wish to see.
"Warning: The Nightmare Mission must be completed alone. You are not allowed to bring any lingering spirits or Specters with you, and you are not allowed to bring anything related to the Haunted House into the Nightmare Mission!
"Hint: Before you reach the top floor, no matter what you hear, smell, or touch, do not open your eyes! This is the only way for you to survive! "
Chen Ge memorized the details of the mission. He read it several times, but he still could not understand why a mission like this would be called — Neighbor.
To put it simply, I have to close my eyes and climb from the first floor to the top floor. Will I run into a neighbor along the way?
It was easy to say, but very difficult to do.
In that kind of environment, a normal person would habitually open their eyes at the slightest movement.
The Nightmare Missions that I accepted earlier did not specify the location, but this mission requires me to go to Eastern Jiujiang. That is a place that my parents forbade me from going.
Since he had accepted the mission, there was no turning back now. Chen Ge took out his phone to search for a building that fit the criteria. He keyed in a few keywords, and the result popped up.
"Jiang Yuan Apartments?"
Seeing the name of the residential area, Chen Ge's brows creased together. He was very familiar with this residential area.
When he was young, his parents had rented there when they first came to Jiujiang. When he entered primary school, the family moved from Eastern Jiujiang to Western Jiujiang.
In other words, before he was six, he had lived at Jiang Yuan Apartments in Eastern Jiujiang.
He could not remember the reason for the move. Thinking back, Chen Ge only had a hazy memory of it. It was raining heavily that day.
Later, Chen Ge's memory of Jiang Yuan Apartments came from the newspapers and the news. Not long after Chen Ge's parents moved away, something bad happened there.
He could not remember what exactly happened, but now he could only remember that whenever he mentioned the name Jiang Yuan Apartments to his parents, his parents would come up with various excuses to avoid mentioning it.
Twenty years had passed, and the original Jiang Yuan Apartments had been leveled and rebuilt. Now, the small tube-shaped apartments had disappeared from Jiang Yuan Apartments. Only two seventeen-story buildings remained.
These two buildings faced each other, but strangely enough, only one of them was occupied. Due to various reasons, the other building had not been completed.
The current Jiang Yuan Apartments was more famous than before, but it was all negative.
Based on the information that he found online, many of the tenants there had committed suicide.
Ever since the residential area was built, the number of tenants had decreased. When he passed by at night, he could only see a few lights on.
"The building has seventeen floors in total, and there is a basement. To avoid certain things, the developer put the number of the fifteenth floor on the floor above the thirteenth." Chen Ge looked at the information that he had found. "This building perfectly fits the black phone's requirement. In fact, I suspect that it purposely sent me to this building to complete the mission."
"The old house that I lived in when I was young has been demolished, and now that I've grown up, I have to use this method to return to find my neighbors?" Chen Ge knew very well that the neighbors that he was looking for were definitely not human.
