Chapter 999 - Everyone Is Missing Something (1/2)

Tong Tong’s item of possession was a phone, and he was the only Specter that one could communicate with from a distance. At the time, Han Bao’er from the Ghost Stories Society had used this uniqueness and Gao Ru Xue as bait to lure Chen Ge out from his haunted house. But there was a weakness to Tong Tong. He was very weak, and his power would be seriously weakened in the day. It had big limitations, like his power not working in crowded places and being powerless when under direct sunlight.

It was in consideration of these things that Chen Ge had conducted an experiment the previous night and had Men Nan and Tong Tong possess the same phone. Being sheltered by a Red Specter, Tong Tong would not suffer so much in the day. As long as nothing happened to Men Nan, Tong Tong could use his power many times, but he would expend more energy than he would at night. With the protection from a Red Specter, Chen Ge was not that worried about Tong Tong’s safety. When discovered, Men Nan could escape with Tong Tong. There were so many people at the futuristic theme park; they could find any phone to hide in.

Jiang Ming had not realized the severity of the situation. He probably did not think that Chen Ge was a threat. Seeing Jiang Ming walk away, Chen Ge put away his phone. Tong Tong and Men Nan had left his phone. “Hopefully, they can find something useful.”

For Jiang Jiu to have survived so long, he must be an old fox. To get anything from him would be difficult, so the only method was to find opening through people around him. Collecting information was one of Chen Ge’s plans, but there was another mission he had given Tong Tong and Men Nan. When the day darkened, he would repeat the same thing that the Ghost Stories Society had done to him on Jiang Ming. After dealing with the things there, Chen Ge rushed toward Pei Zhi Academy in Western Academy. Before entering the school, he found a corner and flipped through the comic to communicate with the drowned boy.

“After I enter the school, notify me if you see the child.” He wandered about at the gates for a while. Before he got in, a young woman about twenty came toward him. “Hello, how I can help you?”

Chen Ge looked into the school. There were children playing on the field. He hesitated before saying, “There have been issues at my relative’s house recently. Their child has been sent to an orphanage. The child is a bit quiet, he doesn’t like to communicate with others, and his condition is getting worse. I’m afraid his life will be ruined if this continues, so I wish to bring him here to get an education.”

“Our school accepts students with mental handicaps and other problems. If the condition is that serious, you should bring him here.” The woman was kind. “We are a private institution, so the fee might be a bit expensive. However, we design a special teaching plan that will be tailored specifically to each child.”

“The fee will be expensive?” Chen Ge’s lips turned down, and his hands twisted together. He thought for a long time before saying, “Can I please go in to take a look at how the classes are conducted normally first?”

“Of course. All our staff here are professional, and you’ll find the atmosphere very conducive for study.” The teacher invited Chen Ge into the school. On the field, the teachers were playing games with the children. They were simple games. The main purpose was for the children to communicate with others. Past the field was the education block. The wall had a motto written on—’every child deserves an education’. The classrooms were bright and filled with sunlight. They looked clean and neat.

“Our school focuses on three main criteria: development of intelligence, societal assimilation, and practical living. Based on the condition of each child, we have set up twelve different types of classes,” the teacher explained patiently to Chen Ge, and the latter listened patiently.

Initially, he was there to find the candidate selected by the ghost fetus, but when he was there, he suddenly felt touched. This world was unfair and cruel to these children, but even so, they were trying their best. Their smiles under the sun were beautiful. Chen Ge looked at the children in the classrooms.

Will the ghost fetus be among them?

After they reached the last classroom, there was a wetness that came from Chen Ge’s hand that grabbed his backpack. He lowered his lead to look and saw a bloody palm.

The child is here?
