Chapter 1018 - Fifth Living Employee (1/2)

Wu Sheng sat next to Wu Jinpeng and kept crying as if he was making up for the tears that he had been holding in all these years. His small hands gripped Wu Jinpeng’s clothes, and his face was scrunched up in pain. He wanted to say something, but his voice was overwhelmed by his crying.

“It’s only a nightmare. Everything’s fine now. I am here.” Wu Jinpeng hugged Wu Sheng and patted him lightly on his back. The father and son embraced each other, and Chen Ge sighed in relief. He rubbed his knees and slowly walked out. When he pulled back the curtain, the black phone vibrated. Chen Ge took it out to read the latest message.

“You have completed 2/9 of the Ghost Fetus Trial Mission. The ghost fetus can no longer curse you through your voice. Red Specters’ Favored, you do not have much time left!”

“A curse can be inflicted through my voice? Meaning he only needs to hear me speak to curse me? That is such a powerful ability!”

In Chen Ge’s experience, curses needed a medium. To curse a person, one needed their hair, fingernails, or clothes, but the message on the black phone corrected his misunderstanding. The ghost fetus only needed to hear his voice to curse him. However, this must only be the tip of the iceberg. As a demon god, the ghost fetus must have more power than this. Even with the protection of the Red Specters, Chen Ge felt not so safe.

“The ghost fetus has too many ways to hurt me. I might get harmed without even knowing it. No wonder the black phone claims that once the ghost fetus is born, I will definitely die.”

The crying inside the bedroom woke up Wu Kun, who was sleeping in the living room. He hugged the broken fan and looked at Chen Ge with fear. Initially, Chen Ge did not mind it, but the man did not stop staring at him, to the point Chen Ge felt quite unsettled.

“Why are you looking at me like this? Do you see something on me?”

Hearing Chen Ge’s voice, Wu Jinpeng’s brother grabbed the thin blanket to cover his head. He was at the verge of tears. Wu Kun was eight years younger than Wu Jinpeng. Being treated like this by a man over thirty, Chen Ge felt quite uncomfortable.

“Are you afraid of me?” Chen Ge walked toward Wu Kun.

Before he got near, Wu Kun extended his two shaking hands. “The fan, the fan…”

Wu Kun held the broken fan with both hands, as he knelt on the ground with his shaking body.

“You want to give me the fan?” Chen Ge sat down before Wu Kun. When he was about to take the fan, he saw the wounds on Wu Kun’s arms. “Something does not feel right. Why does he keep mentioning fan? What is he trying to express? Now that I think about it, I did not encounter Wu Kun behind Wu Sheng’s door. As his father’s younger brother, it’s impossible that Wu Sheng has no impression of him.”

Chen Ge returned the fan to Wu Kun. After a long time, Wu Kun finally calmed down.

“Tell me, what are you so afraid of?”

Before Wu Kun could answer, the curtain was pulled back. Wu Jinpeng switched the bedside lamp off.

“How is Wu Sheng?”

“He fell asleep after he tired himself out crying.” Wu Jinpeng’s eyes were puffy, too. He stood before Chen Ge. “Brother, the biggest wish in my life is that Wu Sheng can grow up like a normal child, and I have already prepared to take care of him forever… thank you.”

“Brother Peng, to be honest, you’re the reason Wu Sheng could make this recovery.” Chen Ge planned to employ Wu Jinpeng, so he did not hide too many things. “What I’m going to say next, you can choose to not believe me, but I ask that you do not tell anyone else.”

“Don’t worry, you have my word.”
