“You heard them mention that?” Chen Ge’s interest was piqued.

“Yes, the day before your parents’ disappearance, they came to me, saying someone wanted to give me a present. However, due to various complications, said person could not be there and thus entrusted the task to them.” Director Luo took a wooden box from the nearby bookshelf. After opening the box, it revealed a roughly-hewn roly-poly toy.

He held the toy in his palm. “Even though the making is rough, I appreciate the meaning. No matter the difficulty, it will stand up again.”

Chen Ge was anxious, and he urged, “What did my parents say after that? Where did you hear those few words?”

“Your parents left after they gave me the gift. Since I have a habit of not closing my office door, I accidentally overheard their conversation in the corridor.” Director Luo thought to himself before continuing. “At the time, they had not wandered far from the door. Your father said something like… ‘The door to the Third Sick Hall has been opened again.’ And your mother replied, ‘The door wasn’t closed in the first place.'”

“That’s it?”

“That’s all I could hear. They did continue the conversation, but I could not hear them clearly.”

After chatting for a few more minutes and confirming that there was nothing more Director Luo could give him, Chen Ge exited his office.

The door to the Third Sick Hall has to be something more than a literal door, could it be similar to the door in the Haunted House’s mirror? Could there be another world behind the door?

He could not understand why his parents would say something like that. He pulled out the black phone to read the mission hint again.

It said ‘he’ came from the Third Sick Hall. Does it mean that he came from the bloody world, similar to the mirror monster?

The day before their disappearance, Chen Ge’s parents had been discussing the Third Sick Hall; did this mean that their disappearance was related to it?

He knew that his parents had disappeared around an abandoned hospital. The police had searched all the nearby buildings but found nothing. Now, Chen Ge suspected that his parents had entered the door and travelled to the other world.

It’s still too soon to confirm the mission venue for the Third Sick Hall is the hospital that my parents disappeared in. Chen Ge patted his face lightly to force himself to calm down. Since it was related to his parents, his emotions were unsettled. The mission has three stars, so it must be dangerous. Even if I accept it now, I might not be able to complete it. I’d better focus on the immediate mission for now.

The Trial Mission at Hai Ming Apartments was related to the Third Sick Hall. Completing this mission would provide more understanding of the Third Sick Hall, so it was not a bad place to start.

At 4 pm, the number of visitors slowed. Chen Ge handed the key to the Haunted House to Xu Wan, and he crawled into the props room to prepare for the Trial Mission that night. The doll left behind by his parents was the park’s guardian spirit, so it was only useful inside the park. Therefore, Chen Ge did not bring it along with him this time.

Looking at his choices, Chen Ge eventually settled on the phone charger, lighter, safety rope, and the incredibly handy multi-purpose mallet.

That should be enough. He thought about it before shoving the reward money that he had left from the Ping An Apartment case into his backpack. It’s early. Perhaps I should go to the mannequin shop first. If the price is right, I can directly give the down payment.

The quicker he finished Mu Yang High School’s Hidden Mission, the earlier he would reap the reward. After some cleaning up, when Chen Ge passed the dressing room, he accidentally saw Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind the door. The fake blood was splattered all over the floor, and there was some on Xiaoxiao as well.
