Chapter 983 - Monster Carrying the Altar (1/2)

“This place seems to have been abandoned for a long time already.”

It was a good thing that it was abandoned. That meant that no children would be harmed again.

Walking down the muddy path, Chen Ge pushed open the door of the gray house. A horrible stench rushed out from inside the house. Chen Ge’s nostrils twitched. He stood at the door and did not go in. “I once smelled this in Li Wan City. It’s a very unique smell and hard to describe. It is not as thick as the smell of decay, but it contains a chill to it as if after you suck it into your lungs, your whole body will shiver.”

Using his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge looked into the room. Most of the furniture had been destroyed, and the floor was littered with broken plates and torn children clothes.

“This house didn’t look like this at the beginning.”

Chen Ge looked at the dilapidated room, but another image appeared in his mind. It was this same room, but it was surrounded by the laughter of children. Light blue and light pink wallpaper was pasted on the walls. The table was not high, and it was filled with toys and delicious food.

“Has the ghost who once stayed here left?”

Chen Ge was about to walk into the room when his phone suddenly vibrated. The caller ID showed an unknown caller.

“I have both Inspector Lee and Captain Yan’s numbers, so this should not be the police. Who would call me at this moment?”

He accepted the call, and a boy’s voice came through the line. “Chen Ge, when will you bring me home?”

“Fan Yu?” Chen Ge was confounded.

“Mr. Chen, it’s me. We just met not long ago.” Another familiar voice appeared. It was the teacher from the Children’s Home. “Fan Yu, let me talk to Mr. Chen for a moment.”

“Did you discover something?” Chen Ge had left his number with the Children’s Home, so he was not surprised that they would contact him. But Fan Yu, who did not like to speak, voluntarily called him by his name. Other than surprise, he was quite happy.

“We found something huge. All the files and medical treatment files before the Children’s Home was taken over by the government were locked inside the warehouse. We searched for information related to Fang Yu, and we realized that the information about a child in their class was missing.”

“The information for one of the children is lost?”

“Yes, it’s like his presence has been wiped out. You might not believe this, but according to the research we’ve done, there is always one person missing in the total count. In the class picture, there is a boy’s face that is blurred out, just like the picture that you showed us!” The teacher had given Chen Ge a valuable hint. “I just called a few seniors who worked at the orphanage back then, and everyone remember this chatty boy. They all know about him, but no one can remember what he looks like.”
