Chen Ge thought about it for a long time but settled on no answer.

“I still know too little, but I did come away with a reward tonight.” He narrowed his eyes at the bank. Huang Ling’s husband was already gone. “Previously, I thought that he was just a small fry, but it turns out he might be the biggest fish in the pond.”

Chen Ge did not like to do things in a roundabout way, so he decided to go straight to Huang Ling’s home after finishing the Twin Water Ghost mission. The fog on the water dispersed, and it was dark all around. Chen Ge glanced at his watch; it was almost 1 am.

“How long have I stayed in the fog?”

When the boat rowed to the center of the dam, it had not yet been midnight, and now, it was almost one hour later.

“Ol’ Zhou, has the Vat Ghost returned?” Chen Ge stood at the bow and looked down the rope. The dam was deeper than he thought—even with the Yin Yang Vision, he could not see the bottom.

Ol’ Zhou was not there mentally. He had been spooked by Zhang Ya, and his demeanor had stopped being so natural around Chen Ge. Previously, he had always had the impression that his boss was a kind person, one who managed to gather a house of ghosts from his kindness and grace, but seeing Zhang Ya walking out from his shadow at such close distance, Ol’ Zhou changed his mind.

Was it possible for a normal person to spend every moment with such a scary Red Specter, to have their relationship so close that they were basically inseparable?

He even started to wonder if his boss was actually being controlled by a Red Specter, being nothing more than a puppet.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Chen Ge’s concerned tone caused Ol’ Zhou to shudder. He quickly snapped into it and waved his hands in quick succession.

“It’s nothing. What were you asking earlier?”

“Did the Vat Ghost return when I was out of it earlier?”

“I don’t think so; the rope hasn’t moved.” Ol’ Zhou shook his head. “Actually, I haven’t been paying much attention. I was too focused on you.”

“Focused on me? By the way, did you see a boy who looked just like me coming over from afar earlier?”

“A boy?” Ol’ Zhou’s confused look explained many things. The thing that had happened earlier was only visible to Chen Ge and Zhang Ya.

“Then did not notice anyone appearing at the bank?” Chen Ge wanted to get more information on Huang Ling’s husband.

“I’m not sure, but I think that was where the fog drifted from.” Ol’ Zhou’s words confirmed Chen Ge’s suspicion. “There is something wrong with the fog?”

Ol’ Zhou was very clever and quickly grasped what Chen Ge was hinting at.

“I have no idea what they’re after, but it’s not that simple to kill me. It’s more like they want to show me something and lead me down a sinful path.” Anyone who saw their young self being brutally murdered would be left with an emotional scare, but with the training given by the black phone, Chen Ge had cultivated a strong and resistant heart.
