Chapter 1113 - She Is the Female Main Character for this Movie! 2 in 1 (1/2)
Jiang Jiu soon understood whom Chen Ge was conversing with. He saw a thin and lanky young man walk out from behind Chen Ge and proceed to use both hands to press against his head. “Do not be afraid. It will be over soon.”
Suddenly, there was one extra person in the room. Jiang Jiu soon realized what was happening. However, before the man was given any chance to struggle, his memory started to get muddled. The memories related to the ghost fetus were hidden away, and he soon collapsed unconscious to the ground. Summoning Zhang Yi back into the comic, Chen Ge glanced at Jiang Jiu, who leaned on the seat unconscious, and he quickly yelled at the top of his lungs, “Hey! Are you okay? Hey! Wake up! Can you hear me? Brother Zheng! Brother Zheng! He has fainted! I need help!”
Hearing Chen Ge’s cries for help, the police officers on duty quickly hurried over. They conducted first aid on Jiang Jiu. They concluded that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Jiu. He was not injured, but the problem was that he refused to wake up. “We’d better get him to the hospital stat!”
After the police sent Jiang Jiu away, Chen Ge was again left alone in the room. He took out his phone to give Uncle Xu a call to get an update on the haunted house. After ensuring that everything was running smoothly, he walked to the side of the bed, hugged his backpack in his arms, and curled up and slept. After who knew how long, Chen Ge was shaken awake. He opened his eyes blurrily and saw Lee Zheng and a few of the officers looking down at him.
“You guys are finished with your work?”
“I really did not expect someone to be able to fall asleep at a crime scene. Do you think we summoned you here to provide a place for you to rest?” Lee Zheng was rather speechless when it came to dealing with Chen Ge, but he could see that Chen Ge was indeed incredibly tired.
“Well, that’s because I know you guys are around. I’ve helped the police apprehend so many killers. Naturally, there are many people who are out to get me. Normally, I have to sleep with my eyes open. Only when the people’s guardians are by my side can I sleep peacefully.”
“That’s enough nonsense out of you. You’d better get ready to go back home. And please do not leave Jiujiang for now. We might summon you to aid in the investigation at any moment.” Lee Zheng and the police were very busy. After they said that, they left in a hurry. Chen Ge looked out the window; the sky was already dark.
“Indeed, it’s time to go back. I should have a nice little chat with Chang Gu tonight.” Chang Gu himself was not that unique. He was just a Specter who had a talent in directing, but Chang Wenyu was different. She was the second Red Specter who had her own special page other than Zhang Ya in the black phone. Technically speaking, Chang Wenyu’s soul should have been destroyed at the School of the Afterlife already, but the black phone stated that she was not yet fully dead, and she appeared to know some secrets about the black phone. That was something that Chen Ge minded a lot.
When he returned to New Century Park’s haunted house, the living employees were cleaning up and ready to go home while the ghost employees were all busy with their own things. Chen Ge did not disturb them. He walked straight into the staff breakroom and flipped through the comic to summon out Chang Gu. “There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for you to hold back. Tell me everything that you know.”
The white cat gave the single-eyed person that appeared before it a once over before it jumped to the side with disdain. The cat was always meek before the strong but strong before the meek.
“My little sister’s soul is probably still alive. She that said she has kept a life as a backup.” Chang Gu’s first sentence was so shocking that grabbed Chen Ge’s attention immediately.
“What do you mean by that? Where is this life then?” Chen Ge stared into Chang Gu’s eyes.
“I do not understand it either. That was what she told me. Whether the plan failed or succeeded, as long as I could leave the School of the Afterlife, I needed to hurry to come find you because she wants to make a deal with you.” Chang Wenyu had indeed prepared some insurance. The siblings were not as simple as they seemed.
“What kind of deal?”
“She knows you have a black-colored phone on you, and she even knows that phone has once appeared on another person before. She is willing to tell you everything that she knows and help you complete their favors.” Chang Gu extended out three fingers.
“You guys sure have planned ahead. To ensure that you are not lying to me, I will have to first rescue Chang Wenyu’s spirit.” Chen Ge glanced at Chang Gu. “This is a deal where you guys have nothing to lose.”
“My sister’s eye has seen many things. She will not lie to you.”
“You two sure share a deep and firm relationship. She is directly responsible for your death, but even now, you are still doing everything you can to help her. Even I am getting a little bit touched by it.” Chen Ge stood up and walked a circle around Chang Gu. “There is no problem with me helping Chang Wenyu, but three favors are far from enough.”
“Then, what else do you want?”
“I will tell you later. First, I need you to tell me what kind of help you want from me.” Chen Ge first needed to completely finish all the issues related to Chang Wenyu. This was a mission given by the black phone, and it was a rare chance for him to get to know the black phone a little bit better.
“My sister has hidden a lingering spirit in Xin Hai. The lingering spirit is inside the body of a student. You only need to resuscitate the memory of that lingering spirit.”
“Will the student die after the lingering spirit’s memory has been activated?” Compared to saving Chang Wenyu, Chen Ge was more worried about the innocent student’s life. After all, Chang Wenyu was a Top Red Specter; a normal human would be able to suffer her memory and survive.
“No.” It appeared like Chang Gu was still hiding something else from Chen Ge. “The student is currently enrolled at Xin Hai First High School. She is a girl who was almost dragged into the School of the Afterlife by the door, but my sister saved her.”
“Do you have any other information beyond that?”
“No, that’s all I was told.” Chang Gu had already finished all the words that he was supposed to say. He stood in the middle of the room with a lack of expression on his face except the small trace of melancholy that lingered in his eyes.
“To be able to have been selected by the School of the Afterlife’s door, she must have been bullied at her school before. That helps narrow down the search a lot, so I believe it will not be that difficult to find this girl.” Chen Ge suddenly changed his tone. “But I do not intend to go to Xin Hai any time soon.”
“Why?” Chang Gu felt like Chen Ge was purposely making things difficult for him.
“I have a nemesis currently residing at Xin Hai. If I go there now, they will definitely come for my life.” Chen Ge’s hand phased through Chang Gu’s shoulder. “Before I have everything prepared, my advice is for you to stay here and work. I risked my life at the School of the Afterlife for you and your sister, and in the end, I got betrayed by both of you. Don’t you think it is time for you to work for me to repay your debt?”
