Chapter 0072: Two Stars on the Scream Index!
”Looking for heaven in a well?” Chen Ge looked at the little boy’s figure and suddenly thought of something, his expression almost going out of control.
Turning around and taking a breath, Chen Ge calmed himself down, the abnormality he had just experienced had not been seen by the black thin woman.
But just when he felt lucky, he looked down only to find the little boy staring at him, that gaze was exactly the same as looking at Xu Wan, who had just transformed her mortuary appearance.
”Fan Yu, it’s time to go home.” The black skinny woman called out again and again, the boy then left from the edge of the well, he hung his head down, his mood seemed to be much better.
Coming out of the haunted house, the sunlight shone on his body again, the little boy reverted back to his original appearance, silent, his eyes contained an undisguised terror, it was not known whether he was afraid of the light, or afraid of the living.
The black and thin woman thanked Chen Ge and led the boy away, and it wasn’t until the two of them walked out of the Paradise’s gate that Chen Ge let out a long sigh of relief, and the black cell phone in his pants pocket vibrated at this time.
He sat on the steps of the haunted house’s entrance, his mind full of memories of what had just happened.
Finding heaven in a well, this might not be a cognitively incorrect sentence for a young boy.
When Chen Ge talked to the dark and thin woman, the woman told Chen Ge that the boy’s parents had disappeared when he was five or six years old, and in order to not make it too difficult for him, the woman had told a well-intentioned lie, deceiving that his parents had not died, but had gone to a place called heaven.
She hoped that as the boy slowly grew up, he would understand everything on his own, but it was not to be, and the boy’s thinking and psychology developed great problems, so it could be said that he could no longer be considered a normal child.
And what Chen Ge didn’t expect the most was that when he asked the boy why he had been standing by the well, the boy’s answer was that he was looking for heaven.
The parents had gone to heaven, but the child was searching for heaven in the well, was this indirect proof that the child had witnessed a murder that ended with his parents being stuffed into the well!
”The bodies are hidden in the well!” Chen Ge unnaturally fumbled for a cigarette, he did not rush to call the police, but speculated in a deeper direction.
”The boy’s parents are teachers at Mureyang Middle School, and among the Psychic Ghost School side quests I activated earlier, there happens to be one right in Mureyang Middle School and it’s related to a water well, so if the two are talking about the same water well, then the scene of the crime should be in Mureyang Middle School.”
Chen Ge took out his black cell phone, an unread message remained on the screen, which he casually clicked on.
”Different choices will have all different results. The first special visitor has already left, you made the most correct choice in the meantime, congratulations on your reward! Unlock the hidden trial mission – Twilight Sun Middle School! This scene is a branch scene of the four-star horror scene Psychic Ghost School, upon completion it will unlock the two-star horror scene Twilight Sun Middle School and reduce the difficulty of the four-star horror scene trial mission!”
”Twilight Sun Middle School Trial Mission (Scream Index 2-star): there are four branch missions within this scene, after experiencing all of them and still surviving, the scene is unlocked successfully.”
”Mission location: twilight sun middle school.”
”Mission Requirements: arrive at the mission site before twenty-three o’clock today and survive until dawn.”
”Mission tip: There is an unfathomable well in everyone’s heart, and buried in the well are unspeakable and unpleasant memories.”
”Do you accept the mission? Note: The trial mission only exists for twenty-four hours, if it is not accepted within twenty-four hours, it is considered to be abandoned and this scene will never be unlocked.”
The new information on the black phone gave Chen Ge a feeling of being caught off guard, he didn’t expect that the reward after receiving the special tourists would be a trial mission for a two-star horror scene.
He had already felt the terror of the trial mission last time in Ping An Apartment, which was much more dangerous than the nightmare level daily missions, and that was only a one-star trial mission.
Flipping through his cell phone, Chen Ge memorized the mission information in his mind, reading every word several times.
”The last mission still needed to find the murderer, while this mission only requires me to live until dawn even if I succeed, it doesn’t seem difficult, but according to the principle of black cell phone equivalence, the danger of this mission is estimated to be far more dangerous than the Midnight Escape!”
As long as I live, what a simple request, but it looked like Chen Ge didn’t have a clue in his heart.
The trial mission could only exist for twenty-four hours, and if you didn’t accept it, it could never be unlocked. This was also the most tangled part for Chen Ge, he didn’t know if giving up this mission would have an effect on the four-star horror scene Psychic Ghost School.
Although according to his current situation, it was almost impossible to unlock the four-star scene, he still felt some heartache.
”Giving up this quest is equivalent to giving up the Psychic Ghost School, and losing two scenes at once is a bit of a shame.” Chen Ge weighed the pros and cons in his mind, “Not going to lose two scenarios, and if I can survive by chance when I go, not only can I unlock a two-star horror scenario, but I’ll also complete the side quests in the Psychic Ghost School in the meantime. Haunted houses need to be constantly renovated to maintain patronage, and this two-star horror scene came at the right time, so I should give it a try.”
New Century Paradise was about to shut down, and he had to make a mark within three months, which was simply impossible with just the current two scenes. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ge finally made a decision, and he clicked the OK to accept option.
The message disappeared, and Chen Ge decided not to delay any longer, he called Xu Wan and told her to come back quickly after dinner to watch the door, then he chased straight out of the paradise.
The little boy was the opener of the Mureyang Middle School trial quest, and more clues could definitely be unearthed from him.
Chen Ge ran outside the Paradise gate and found that the boy and the black thin woman had just gotten on a bus.
”No. 14.”
Chen Ge stopped a cab and got in, “Go to the next stop for bus number 14.”
Soon he arrived at the stop ahead of the bus, and waited for almost a minute before the number 14 bus slowly entered the station.
The car was packed with passengers, the black thin woman stood at the rear of the bus escorting the little boy and did not notice Chen Ge.
”Follow them home and take a look, there might be an unexpected gain.” Chen Ge didn’t rush to find them and stood alone in front of the car.
After driving forward for six or seven consecutive stops, there were fewer and fewer people in the car, and the place they were going to gradually became desolate.
When they were about to arrive at the terminal, the black thin woman and the boy got off the car, and the two of them didn’t take the main road and directly drilled into the alley.
”Living in such a remote place? That’s right, the woman herself said that she had looked for many doctors before in order to treat the boy, so she should have spent a lot of money.”
Chen Ge followed behind and entered the alley, he hadn’t gotten out far when the black thin woman and the little boy in front of him suddenly sped up.
”Have I been discovered? Or are they hiding from something else?”
