Chapter 0067 – You can see her?
Chen Ge took the document, the first line on it read – New Century Paradise Underground Parking Lot Use Agreement.
Simply flipping through a few pages, Chen Ge did not find anything related to rent: “Director Luo, is this document missing something?”
”Haven’t you seen the free rental agreement before? I’ve already stamped the seal, it will come into effect after you sign it, the agreement will not end until the park closes down, cherish it and don’t let me down.” Director Luo seemed to be in a much better mood, and made himself another pot of tea, “You’re also quite busy, I won’t keep you.”
Chen Ge was still in a bit of disbelief when he walked out of the office with the agreement, not only did he get the right to use the underground parking lot of the paradise, but he also didn’t have to spend a penny!
According to what was in the agreement, as long as New Century Paradise didn’t close down, he could always rent it for free. It was estimated that Director Luo was also not optimistic about him, thinking that New Century Paradise would close down after the completion of the future virtual paradise in the eastern suburb of Jiujiang in two or three months, which was why he was so generous.
”The area of the underground parking lot is as big as one third of the paradise, and although it has been idle and abandoned before, it’s still blood money to be able to rent it for free!”
Chen Ge felt that since getting rid of the monster in the mirror, his luck had suddenly changed for the better, he had won the Medal of Honor, the bounty for the extermination case was ready to be claimed at any time, and now that he had successfully solved the problem of the venue, everything was slowly getting on the right track.
”Could it be that getting rid of dirty things could enhance one’s luck?” Chen Ge just casually thought about it and didn’t take it to heart.
Returning to the House of Horrors with the agreement in hand, Chen Ge started the day’s business, he let Xiao Wan put on her park uniform and buy tickets outside, while he himself was draped in a Dr. Cranium Shatterer jacket and carrying a hammer as he chased the tourists around in the Midnight Escape scene.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Ge came out of the haunted house and informed Xiaowan that after she was off duty, he brought all his documents with him and prepared to collect the bounty.
”The number in my bank card is about to break through four digits for the first time, so it’s necessary to treat myself tonight.” Chen Ge changed into clean clothes in the staff lounge, and when he was almost at the door, he twisted his head to see a muppet lying on the side of the bed, half of the little guy’s body hiding under the bed, not knowing what he was playing alone.
”It’s not even dark yet, and you ran out.” Chen Ge brought up Xiao Xiao, and suddenly remembered what Team Yan had said during the day, “The old man’s situation doesn’t seem to be optimistic, he doesn’t have a single family member by his side right now, so I should go and take a look at him.”
Chen Ge poked Xiao Xiao’s stomach, stuffed her into his pocket, and walked out of the House of Horrors.
At six fifteen, Chen Ge came out of the City Public Security Bureau, the bounty amounting to thirty-six thousand, a little less than expected.
Purchasing a fruit basket and fresh milk, Chen Ge took a taxi to Jiujiang People’s Hospital, and under the leadership of the nurse on duty, he entered a sick room on the third floor.
Originally, he wanted to take a look at the old man and leave, but who knew that he would bump into an acquaintance just as he entered the door.
”Team Li, why are you here?” Next to the hospital bed, Team Li was feeding the old man, he was a brown old man, taking care of the old man was even more delicate than a little girl.
”Strange, how come I can bump into you everywhere I go?” Team Li padded the old man’s chest with a towel, “After sleeping all morning, the office saw that I was working harder, so they arranged a clean job for me.”
”You police still care about this?”
”The old man was in an accident in our precinct, it’s only right to take care of him until a specialized caregiver can be identified.”
Team Li tried feeding him twice more, but the old man didn’t seem to have an appetite, so he didn’t force himself, put down the bowl and spoon, and pointed to Chen Ge at the doorway, “Old man, this is the one who provided us with major clues in solving the case, and who called the police to get you out that night.”
Seeing Chen Ge, the old man’s only arm that could move lifted, and he didn’t know what he wanted to express.
”Speaking of which, I should thank the old man as well, that day when I just arrived at the Peaceful Apartment the old man broke his rice bowl to alert me, which made me realize that something was wrong.” Chen Ge put the fruit basket and fresh milk on the bedside table, he looked at the old man who was in very bad health, his heart felt a little bad: “Team Li, can you go out for a while? I have some things I want to say to the old man.”
Team Li didn’t know what Chen Ge wanted to do, and out of trust, he didn’t ask why and directly walked out.
Closing the door to the room, Chen Ge took the muppet out of his pocket, “Old master, I brought Little to see you.”
When Chen Ge had just taken out Xiao Xiao, the old man on the hospital bed hadn’t reacted, but when his cloudy eyes swept over the muppet, it was as if time had stopped, his eyes darted more and more, a whimpering sound escaped from his throat, and the only arm that could move was anxiously stretched out in front as if it was trying to grab something.
”You can see her?”
Chen Ge also did not expect things to develop to this point, he brought Xiao Xiao here just to let Xiao Xiao see his family, but who knew that the old man seemed to be able to see Xiao Xiao who was possessed on the muppet!
Quickly walking to the bedside, Chen Ge gently placed the muppet in the old man’s arms, and the old man hugged the muppet with his only movable arm for a few minutes before settling down.
”It’s said that people can only see things they shouldn’t see when their Yang life is about to end.” The black cell phone in Chen Ge’s pants pocket inexplicably vibrated, and he didn’t disturb the old man, taking the phone and silently exiting the ward.
”I just heard the old man’s very excited voice, what did you say to him? I can warn you, he can’t afford too much excitement right now.” Team Lee was standing guard at the door, ready to go in at the first sign of trouble.
”I just sent the person that the old master wanted to see the most to his side.” Chen Ge sat on the bench in the corridor and took out his black cell phone, rummaging for the cause of the vibration, and he soon found that on the favorability page, Yin Xiao Xiao’s favorability towards him had been upgraded from “Slightly Favorable” to “Trustworthy.”
”The little one is the most otherworldly Knight Ghost I’ve ever seen, what will happen if I raise her favorability to the highest?” Chen Ge put away his cell phone and leaned back in his chair, “Uncle Sanbao, don’t be nervous, the old man will be fine.”
”You are quite optimistic.”
Chen Ge and Team Li chatted for a long time outside, and when he entered the ward again, the old man’s state had stabilized, he gestured something at Chen Ge, but no one understood what he meant.
After greeting the nurse on duty, Chen Ge left with Xiao Xiao, the little guy was not very excited and hid among the muppets, as if he was asleep.
After casually eating something on the side of the road, Chen Ge hurried back to the House of Horrors: “I haven’t done today’s daily quests yet, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it in time.”
Of the three daily quests that were refreshed, the most suitable one for Chen Ge was the expansion quest, he only needed to choose the direction of the expansion and a general location.
