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

Xu Yin finally gave Chen Ge some response after sleeping for one whole night and day after the adventure at Coffin Village. Normally, Xu Yin would only appear after Chen Ge turned on the recorder, but this time, he found Chen Ge on his own. “The breakthrough has been successful?”

Baleful Specters that were below Red Specter normally would not leave their item of possession. Their movement was limited.

“Is Xu Yin trying to tell me something?” There was a muddled voice. Chen Ge tried to listen for a long time before he understood Xu Yin’s meaning. The sound on the phone kept approaching, and it sounded dangerous. Technically speaking, Chen Ge should have been influenced to be nervous, anxious, but he hugged the recorder with an unknown smile on his face. Fear did not have the chance to appear before it was overwhelmed by joy. For Chen Ge, there was nothing better than the news of Xu Yin’s recovery.

“Chen Ge! Come quick! They’ve discovered me!” Gao Ru Xue screamed on the phone. She had already been discovered, so she screamed loudly for help. Footsteps came from the phone, but weirdly enough, the building was quiet.

Chen Ge took a deep breath after shoving the recorder into his pocket. He put on a serious expression and shouted into the phone, “Just hang on a little longer! I’ll be there in a minute!”

He took out the hammer, ran to the corner of the stairs, and kicked down the door that was not locked. There was no light on the first floor, but with the aid of his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge saw three shadows running on the other side of the corridor. “Gao Ru Xue!”

Chen Ge ran forward with the hammer. While he was running, he felt his body temperature drop, and a cold presence surrounded him. However, out of his trust in Xu Yin, he pressed forward. When he chased the shadows until the stairs that led to the second floor underground, Xu Yin warned him to stay put.

There’s some problem with this floor? Chen Ge stopped moving and started to move back. Several seconds later, something scary happened.

Just at the corner, three shadows covered in blood poked their heads out! The three of them were working together, and they had been waiting for Chen Ge!

Chen Ge looked ahead. “Almost ran into your trap. Let me guess, your real trap is just ahead?”

The three shadows walked out from the corner and made the corridor turned colder. Their movement was slightly awkward like they were dead people.

“Your guess is correct, but you’ve missed the perfect opportunity to save your life.” The voice came from the phone. It was filled with venom and resentment.

“You’re not Gao Ru Xue?” Chen Ge placed the phone beside his ears but did not show much fear.

“Isn’t it too late for you to discover that now?” Gao Ru Xue’s voice turned shrill and sharp.

“Actually, when you called me this morning at 6 am, I knew you’re not Gao Ru Xue.” Chen Ge looked relaxed. “At the time, I called He San first, asking him why he called me. Not long after he hung up, you called. You told me other than my number, all the other numbers cannot be reached. However, I checked my phone history, and between 1 am to 3 am, both you and He San contacted me!

“If you were telling the truth, how did He San find out about this?

“Therefore, the answer is simple—it was you all along! You tried to trick me last night, but my phone wasn’t in the service area. You couldn’t reach me no matter what, so the plan had to be delayed to tonight!

“There’s also one very important point. If you really did experience something this scary, you would have asked to meet me in the morning, but not only did you not do that, you even asked for me to meet you at night!

“I’ve been curious, why did you insist on meeting at night? It was since then that I was eighty percent certain you’re not Gao Ru Xue!”

With a smile, Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder. “I knew I’ve been talking to a ghost from the very beginning. I played along with your trick because I’ve been looking for you as well!”
