The corridor returned to normal. The old lady looked at the opposite door and sighed with pity. “Lost the house and the child, no wonder she went crazy. Poor Xiao Jia.”

Outside the building, the taxi driver heard the call being ended, and he still had not recovered from the shock.

“What is the meaning of this? Have I been dragged into a murder? What about the mention of mental illness?” The driver’s mind was blank. He had just woken up and found his car parked at an unfamiliar place. He did not even know where he was.

“I should call the police.”

With shaking hands, the driver called the cops and told them how he had been kidnapped.

…

Chen Ge rested outside the last classroom for a while before reentering the room. The dark winds had disappeared, and the bodies of the few mental patients were close to being transparent. However, they were still as ferocious as ever and refused to communicate.

“They sure are mad.” Chen Ge summoned them back into the patient’s list. He left Mu Yang High School and entered the Third Sick Hall. He found a random bed and went to sleep without removing his clothes. The next morning, Chen Ge was woken up by the alarm on his phone at 8 am.

“That was quite a good sleep.” Chen Ge rubbed his eyes as he opened the sickroom’s door. “It’s quite a waste to have so many empty beds. Perhaps I can open a hotel that only operates at night.”

Exiting the underground scenario, Chen Ge cleaned himself up and ran to the staff breakroom.

“It’s time for work.” Chen Ge was worried that Xiao Gu might have been bullied by the white cat and Xiaoxiao, but he realized that Xiao Gu was sleeping nicely. “The guy sure is brave, but this type of person will have an easier time accepting new things.”

After waking Xiao Gu up, the two worked together to clean up the Haunted House and prepared to start a new day of work. Opening the gates, the sun fell on Chen Ge. Ever since I came back from the underground morgue, my body temperature has still been dropping, but the rate seems to have lessened.

“Boss, you have been getting later at opening the gates.” There was a girl with impressive upper body that walked from the resting hall. She held a box of breakfast in her hands. “This is for you.”

“It’s barely 8:20 am; it’s you that’s too early.” Chen Ge accepted the breakfast when Xiao Gu exited the Haunted House.

“Good morning, Sister Xu Wan!” Xiao Gu was quite dim-witted at social events. He waltzed out from the Haunted House and looked at Chen Ge’s breakfast with some envy. Xu Wan greeted Xiao Gu, and she was about to walk away when her pupils suddenly danced. She stopped where she was as she glanced at Xiao Gu.

“The gates just opened. This means you did not go home last night.” Before Xiao Gu responded, her expression became weirder. “Why are you wearing boss’ clothes?”

“It was raining last night, and when I was going home…” Xiao Gu stopped himself when he was halfway through explaining because he suddenly remembered that Chen Ge had told him not to tell anyone what had happened the previous night. He turned to look at Chen Ge. Xu Wan also looked at Chen Ge with some complaint like she was asking for an explanation.

Sensing the curious atmosphere, Chen Ge was stunned. “Why are the both of you looking at me?”
