Chapter 386 - Boss Chen? (1/2)
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
The three-star Trial Mission at Jiujiang Medical University would be a hard place to navigate without a map, so Chen Ge knew that he had to be careful. “I’ll need to leave the statue here for now. Perhaps I should try to communicate with the school first. After all, if I need to complete the underground morgue mission, the school will be involved somehow.”
The underground morgue was the last side mission that led to the four-star School of the Afterlife, so Chen Ge could not afford to be too cautious. A three-star trial mission is already so scary—a four-star mission would have been unimaginable, much less the five-star mission.
The black phone had its own system of categorizing the scary scenarios, but Chen Ge still had not grasped the standard of measurement yet.
His mind filled with thoughts of other things, he walked back to the two girls, holding the hammer. Without his Yin Yang Vision, he would not have been able to see the girls in the dark.
“Come on, I’ll walk you out.” Chen Ge seemed to change into a different person as his tone softened. “In the future, try not to wander off into strange places. If I didn’t arrive in time, who knows what would have happened.”
The two girls had pained expressions on their faces. The man had almost killed the statue from their campus ghost story, and he had the audacity to say the place was dangerous.
“Don’t be afraid. I was acting so harshly earlier because this place is too creepy. If you’d shown any trace of fear or retreat, you’d be targeted by the monsters.” Chen Ge held the hammer in one hand. “Actually, in real life, I’m a gentle and kind person.”
“Gentle and kind?”
“Yes, of course.” Chen Ge’s voice was now filled with warmth. Unlike earlier, there was a sense of familiarity that arose in the hearts of Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian. It felt like they had heard this voice somewhere before.
“Come on, it’s time to leave.” Chen Ge walked ahead. When he passed the computer and photocopier, he gave them another try. After making sure that the computer could not be activated, he gave up.
The three exited the storeroom, and when they closed the wooden door, Chen Ge heard coming from down the corridor, something that sounded like a bubble bursting, like many things were bouncing on the ground.
“What is that sound?” Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian heard that as well.
“Doesn’t this corridor lead to the underground morgue?” Even with the Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could not see what was happening.
“Don’t know, but it should extend to the underground basement of the western part of campus. That section was sealed up several years ago.” Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian’s eyes twitched violently like something seriously bad was about to happen.
At the end of the corridor, the sound of bouncing became more rapid, and it was mixed with the weird sound of a beast breathing. There was no ventilation underground, but they could feel the presence of a draft, covering their nostrils with the smell of formalin.
“Run, it’s not safe to stay here!” Chen Ge grabbed the hammer and yelled at the girls, ” Run! ”
Before Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian realized what had happened, Chen Ge had already turned around and charged forward.
“Is something chasing after us?” Liu Xianxian’s ankle was sprained. She wanted to move fast, but her body did not allow it.
“Come, I’ll carry you.” Ma Yin’s own physique had not recovered. After picking up Liu Xianxian, she slowed down. The sound of bouncing came close, causing their hair to stand on end. They did not dare imagine the thing that made that sound.
