Chapter 990 - Jiang Ming (1/2)

It took Chen Ge ten minutes just to digest the new information on the black phone. He had been silent, holding the phone. He knew that the ghost fetus was dangerous, and he knew that their conflict was inevitable, but he did not expect it to be so soon.

“Only nine days. If I can’t find him in nine days, I will die.”

The black phone never lied; all the information it had given had proven to be true.

“The four-star Trial Mission has been forcibly triggered, but this mission is different from the School of the Afterlife or any of the Trial Mission that I’ve done before. It doesn’t have a fixed location and doesn’t provide accurate information. It only gave me a general range—the entire city is the stage.”

Chen Ge frowned as he read the message on the black phone repeatedly. It was a four-star Trial Mission, but the introduction was so small, and the mission hint was only one sentence.

“The time limit is nine nights, and the phone specifically highlighted the nights. Does this mean that the children that are possessed by the ghost fetus will be weakened only at night?”

Chen Ge had played hide and seek many times in his life, but this would be the first time that he had placed his life on the line.

“At the moment, I only know the number of altars and children. Finding the ghost fetus that might be anywhere within Jiujiang with this is too difficult.” Chen Ge put away the black phone and took out his own phone. He opened the contact list. “I have limited resources, and now is not the time to take this on alone. I need to mobilize all the forces that I can.”

Chen Ge first turned to Lee Zheng and Captain Yan. After cooperating multiple times, Jiujiang’s law enforcement could be said to be Chen Ge’s reliable back up support.

“The police are better than me at finding people. Now, I might need to clarify the uniqueness of these children and the possible danger that one might encounter during the search.”

The game had already started. After the black phone triggered the mission, an hourglass appeared on the mission page. After it turned nine times, the ghost fetus would go to find Chen Ge.

“The black phone said that I will definitely die, which means the ghost fetus is probably also a Demon God. He has stolen nine altars and occupied them without the owners’ permission. Perhaps the altars’ owners have all been killed. The owners of the altar should be quite scary, but they were still no match for the ghost fetus. That proved that even among Demon Gods, the ghost fetus is a powerful one.”

Without any clues, Chen Ge could only make his own prediction.

“These nine days might be the only time I have left in my life.”

Chen Ge did not pull Zhang Yi back into the comic but had Doctor Wei and the red high heels cure him. The curing was just the red high heels pulling the black threads that represent curses out from Zhang Yi’s body. It was unknown how many curses the ghost fetus had planted on Zhang Yi’s body. To help him, this was the only way.

“I’ll leave him to you.” Carrying the backpack, Chen Ge returned to the ground. When he passed the Prop Room, he grabbed the hammer and shoved it into his backpack. “For the next nine days, I’ll have to carry this with me.”

To not influence the work at the Haunted House, Chen Ge custom-made a wooden ‘Skull-Cracker’s Hammer’ for Xiao Gu, the actor of Doctor Skull-Cracker. After he was done, it was already 3 am. He returned to the staff breakroom, but he could not sleep no matter what.
