Chapter 342 - Who Stole My Memory (1/2)
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
“Seamstress’ Wedding Dress. My bone as the needle, my blood as the thread, my skin as the cloth—hopefully, you won’t mind my blood red wedding dress.
“Congratulations for obtaining the special-type baleful Specter—Seamstress’ lingering spirit!
“The three-star mission for Coffin Village has been completed. Completion rate: seventy percent—unable to obtain the hidden item.”
Chen Ge looked at the message on the black phone twice to make sure he did not see incorrectly. The completion rate is only seventy percent? I’ve run through the village several times already tonight, and I’ve been to all the places. How come the completion rate is only seventy percent?
The black phone would never make a mistake, so he started to think. The ghost stories society’s interruption caused the Coffin Village’s ceremony to fail. Could that be a reason why?
The key to completing the mission should be the female ghost. Either help her complete the ceremony or killing her will bring two different results—that should be the core of the mission. The woman said, since they refused to let her be a human, she wouldn’t give them a chance to be ghosts. This shows that the Red Specter’s desire has changed; she wants a rebirth!
Either helping her or stopping her would increase the completion rate, but due to the arrival of the society, before Chen Ge could commit to any choice, he had to start running for his life.
Safety first. As long as I’m alive, there’s a chance to raise the completion rate in the future. Chen Ge leaned against the wall and slid the phone in his pocket. But what shall I choose in the future? Help her get her rebirth or stop her?
Coffin Village was hiding a large secret. The whole village could be seen as a tomb—all the villagers were paper doll sacrifices, the Zhu woman was the tomb guard, and the only dead buried here was the Red Specter!
Rebirth is impossible. Possessing others to create a nightmare is more likely, but if I stop her, we’ll turn into enemies, and it will be an endless battle. Chen Ge turned to look at Fan Yu. The boy had his head lowered as he toyed with the jade bangle on his wrist. Inside the jade bangle were lines of red blood.
The ghost seems to value Fan Yu a lot, and she has given him a precious bangle. She is Fan Yu’s friend, and Fan Yu is my friend, so in a way, I’m also her friend. That’s not so bad. Even though the woman is a vengeful spirit, she knows right from wrong, and she deserves the help. Furthermore, as a Haunted House boss, isn’t it my job to befriend souls from the other side?
Chen Ge very quickly convinced himself. He told Fan Yu to try to keep that Red Specter big sister as happy as possible. For today’s Trial Mission, Chen Ge was just an observer. Zhang Ya was asleep, and Xu Yin was in the middle of his transformation. That meant that he had lost the right to join the battle. Thankfully, the result was not so bad. The scenario was unlocked, and Xu Yin had a high chance to become a Red Specter. Even the white cat that swallowed the society’s blood might experience some special change in the future.
I’ve been running for a whole night, but how come I feel I’ve been heavily rewarded?
The day was starting. It was 5 am. Chen Ge calculated the time. Even if he rushed nonstop, it would be hard for him to reach New Century Park before 9 am.
Director Luo has given everything for this promotion; I cannot let him down. I’d better return as soon as I can. Chen Ge found the Zhu woman to discuss the issue regarding Ah Qing’s son with her. In the end, Chen Ge did not take the baby away but left him to be taken care of by the Zhu woman.
Ol’ Wei also asked the woman many questions, but the woman sided with the Red Specter in the well. She did not reveal any information. She said that this was just a normal village with a unique ceremony during that time of year. Ol’ Wei felt like he had forgotten something. It was as if he had drunk too much the night before and could not remember what had happened.
