“Sorry for disturbing you tonight, rest early.” Chen Ge had been so focused on the game that he did not realize it was already so late.
“Are you really going now? Why don’t you stay here for one night? There’s more than enough space on my bed.” Fan Chong moved the wrinkled clothes on his bed away.
“Thank you, but I still need to open my Haunted House for business tomorrow.” Chen Ge rejected the kind offer and prepared to leave. “I remember you saying that there have been some weird happenings when you played the game. You felt like the thing in the game has come out, right?”
Fan Chong and Fan Dade shared a look. The two were confused as well. When they were playing, even after they turned the background music off and moved as far away from the screen as they could, they would still be scared. But when they saw Chen Ge play, the source of fear had moved from the game itself to the person who was playing the game. This had happened for the first time for them.
The brothers did not know how to explain, and it was Fan Dade who moved the topic away. “It’s probably a psychological thing. Now that I think about it, how could something from the game come out into real life?”
“It never hurts to be careful. There is indeed something off about this game, so I suggest you only play it when there’s daylight.” Chen Ge told Fan Chong a few things and left after making sure that there were no more problems.
“Boss Chen, it’s hard to get a taxi here, how about I drive you home?” Fan Chong chased after him. Chen Ge’s gaming ability had greatly impressed him, and he had many things that he wanted to ask Chen Ge.
“Thank you, but I’ll be fine.” After playing the game, Chen Ge’s relationship with the Fan brothers had improved a lot.
“There is no taxi at Li Wan City at night—you’ll need to walk to Eastern Jiujiang Business Center to get car service.” Fan Chong took out a key from his drawer. “Why don’t you take my e-bike? I plan to visit New Century Park tomorrow, so you can return the bike then.”
Chen Ge did not reject it this time and accepted the key from Fan Chong. “Then, I shall thank you.”
Opening the door, Fan Dade and Fan Chong walked Chen Ge down the stairs. The whole area was dark, and only Fan Dade’s home had light.
“How come there are so few residents at this residential area?” Chen Ge thought back to Fan Dade’s neighbor, who had a mirror on the door to ward away evil spirits.
“This place is too isolated, and traffic is not convenient. Those who can afford to move have already moved.” Fan Dade led Chen Ge to the e-bike. “Be careful on the road, see you tomorrow.”
Chen Ge inspected the electrical meter and thanked the brothers again before leaving. After a while, the lights in Fan Chong’s home went off as well, and the whole area plunged into darkness.
Eastern Jiujiang sure is creepy. Chen Ge turned back to look. Shall I go visit the places pointed out in the game tonight?
After thinking about it, Chen Ge gave up on the thought. I should do this with more of a plan. After Fan Chong pinpoints out all the dangerous zones, I can start to look for the door that has gone out of control.
