“What is he doing?”

“I have no idea.” Neither Fan Dade nor Fan Chong dared interrupt Chen Ge; they felt like Chen Ge had entered a certain state. In reality, Chen Ge did not have time for the brothers as well, he was fully focused on controlling Xiao Bu to escape the dangers hiding within the darkness.

The game creator was definitely insane. There were many threats hiding in the dark—the arms that suddenly reached out from the windows, the murderers that hid around the corner, the female ghost that chased after her, and the sound of laughing and barking coming from the some place. If it was just those things, Chen Ge would not have been so worried; the real thing that concerned him was something else.

After running for about half a minute down the dark street, Chen Ge saw something behind Xiao Bu standing up.

It looked like her shadow.

Has something entered her shadow? Or can the night in the small town awaken one’s shadow?

Chen Ge was in a highly intense state. He did not dare split his focus, but his mind kept flashing back to what had happened that night at the fresh water plant. All the ghosts in Eastern Jiujiang seemed to be related to that shadow.

When Xiao Bu’s shadow in the game stood up, it leaned on Xiao Bu’s shoulder to whisper something, and Xiao Bu’s speed started to slow down.

“Fan Chong, how far are we from the hotel?” Chen Ge asked in a hurry without turning his head.

“It’s just in front, the only building that you can enter at the end of the street!”

“It dares to be open at midnight; this hotel is also something else.” Chen Ge could already make out the shape of the old building in the dark. He controlled Xiao Bu and dashed left and right, the sound of mouse and keyboard reverberating across Fan Chong’s room. On the fifty-seventh second after she left the residential area, Xiao Bu arrived at the hotel. The female in red holding her head stopped outside the hotel and did not follow Xiao Bu.

“The female ghost doesn’t dare to come in?” When Chen Ge saw the ghost stop, he also paused Xiao Bu immediately. He controlled Xiao Bu to wander up and down the hotel entrance, trying his best to lure the female ghost in.

“Boss Chen, what are you doing? Taunting her?” Fan Chong really could not understand Chen Ge’s actions.

“If I don’t pull her into the hotel, how do you think we are supposed to deal with the owner? Xiao Bu is just a harmless child—how is she supposed to fight with these crazed murderers?” Xiao Bu danced at the door. The female ghost wanted to charge forward. The expression of the head that she was holding was conflicted.

Even as a Red Specter, she is so careful. The quality of the ghosts in Eastern Jiujiang sure is impressive.

Chen Ge tried for a long time, and eventually, the Red Specter lost her patience and prepared to head into the hotel. However, before she got in, a rotund man from the room next door suddenly charged out and slammed the front door shut.

At the same time, a chat box came up—’There was a tapping sound on the hotel’s wooden door. It was unclear when the customer outside would have the chance to come in.’

Clicking the chat box, the second sentence appeared, and this time, it came with the profile of the fat man. It seemed to be him talking—’Every night, some weird customers come visiting. They are very dangerous. I only have one bullet left in this hunting rifle left behind by dad, so we have to be careful.’

“Is this the mad owner that you mentioned? He looks quite friendly.” Chen Ge pointed at the screen. After entering the hotel, Xiao Bu’s shadow had already returned to normal. Based on Chen Ge’s analysis, this was a trigger added by the game designer. After dark, they were not supposed to wander the street for more than one minute or they would be killed by their own shadow.
