Chapter 363 - I Knew from the Beginning (1/2)

At 9:20 pm, Chen Ge’s taxi arrived at Jiujiang’s Medical University. After getting out, he realized that the university looked more dilapidated than he thought. “It’s so quiet. It’s not even 10, so why isn’t there a student in sight?”

After paying the fare, Chen Ge took his backpack and entered the campus. When he passed the guardhouse, he glanced at the guard. The man did not stop him. I knew I don’t look like a suspicious person.

There were many trees planted by the side of the road. The university cared about nature, but it was quite scary walking down the street alone.

Where is the old education block? All the buildings here look quite old.

Chen Ge called Gao Ru Xue again. “I’ve reached your campus. Where shall we meet?”

“Keep walking from the southern gate. You’ll eventually come across an old building that’s sealed. That’s the old education block, hurry.” Gao Ru Xue’s voice was low like she did not want to be heard. “My roommates know I’m here. I can sense them following me. They’ve probably discovered me.”

“I advise you call the police immediately. Where are you now?”

“Behind the education block. I gotta hang up; I can see them!” The call was ended by Gao Ru Xue.

Influenced by her tone, Chen Ge shivered involuntarily. He raised his head to look at the sky. It felt like it was going to rain soon. The sky looked dark. When he entered the gate, he could see some people, but as he entered the campus, the population slowly decreased to zero. Has there always been such an isolated place at the campus?

Chen Ge took out his phone to do some investigation. He realized that Jiujiang Medical School was the old campus. The school moved to a new site, leaving the forensic science department and a few other more unique specializations back at the old campus. No wonder there were so few people around.

The last side quest for School of Afterlife is at this place? Chen Ge was not thinking of accepting this quest. At Coffin Village, he had Xu Yin’s help. Now he only had Uncle Yan. If he challenged a three-star scenario, it was simply asking for trouble.

“Once something goes wrong, we’ll retreat instantly.” Chen Ge placed the comic inside his pocket. “Uncle Yan’s third power should be the key to why he’s called a Lesser Red Specter. After I’m done with this, I should focus on fulfilling his dream.”

The black phone gave Yan Danian a very good review, meaning that in spite of his appearance, the uncle had great potential. Chen Ge had wandered into the campus and arrived at the location Gao Ru Xue specified.

Two buildings sat in the dark, and there was a lock on the door. Standing at the entrance, the dark windows looked like eyes.

“I’m here,” Chen Ge said into the phone.

“There’s a storage room at the corner of the first floor, come get me! They’re looking for me!” Gao Ru Xue kept her voice lowered, but the nervousness and terror was obvious. A weird emotion appeared within Chen Ge. He frowned slightly. He did not spot anything out of place, but something was not right.

Is it because I’m worried about Gao Ru Xue’s safety? Chen Ge did not hang up the phone. He reached out to pull on the lock. It broke. Pushing the door open, Chen Ge stepped in. There was no trace of light inside the building, and the closed classroom doors looked rather scary.

Ever since leaving Mu Yang High School and Western Jiujiang’s Private Academy, I’ve not come across any scary classrooms again, but I started to panic after stepping into this place. Is it because something scary is hiding here? Could this be related to the mission at the underground morgue? Chen Ge stopped at the door and placed his phone next to his ears to facilitate communication with Gao Ru Xue.

“The corner of the first floor. You have to be careful, my two roommates…” Gao Ru Xue suddenly stopped talking. There was the sound of a door opening from the other end of the phone. The sound moved closer to Gao Ru Xue, and it caused Chen Ge’s heart to race like he was experiencing the terror himself.

The corner of the first floor? Or should I go downstairs? Chen Ge did not move, but the tape recorder in his backpack turned on itself to create white noise. “Xu Yin‽”
