Chapter 0401 – Van

　　With his palm pressed against his forehead, Chen Ge maintained his position for a full minute before he dared to look behind him.

　　The shadows had returned to normal, and it was as if what had just happened had never happened.

　　Chen Ge wasn’t careless and tried to call out Zhang Ya’s name a few more times, making sure that the other party had fallen into a deep sleep again before his hanging heart dropped back into his stomach.

　　As if he had been deflated, he lay directly on the ground.

　　The stars lit up the night sky, and Chen Ge didn’t know what he was thinking about.

　　After a short while, a white cat ran over, its furry paw resting on Chen Ge’s forehead as if it was checking to see if Chen Ge had gotten cold.

　　”You ran quite fast just now, where’s the promised life and death?”

　　His heart was still thumping, Chen Ge felt that he had overused his brain tonight and was now a little short of oxygen.

　　The white cat’s heterochromatic pupils contained a hint of contempt, as if to say, “If you have the ability, you should stand up and speak.

　　Rubbing the white cat’s head, Chen Ge pretended that he didn’t see the white cat’s expression, lay down on the ground, took out his black cell phone, and tapped the unread message on it.

　　”Lucky Knightly Demon Favorite! Congratulations on completing the nightmare difficulty daily quest! Receive the mission reward – Primary Talent Skill Ghost Ear.”

　　”Ghost Ear: Before you inherit this talent, I want you to think clearly that from this moment on, you will be able to hear the voices of another world.”

　　The message was very short, Chen Ge touched his ears after reading it and felt as if nothing had changed.

　　He closed his eyes and concentrated, straining his ears to listen.

　　Someone was whispering deep in the tunnel, and something was crawling among the bushes, and it was still clearly audible even though they were more than ten meters apart.

　　”It seems like something is coming over.” Chen Ge realized that the crawling sound in the bushes was slowly approaching, he opened his eyes and used his Yin pupil to look in the direction the sound came from.

　　About eight or nine meters away in the bushes lay a human-like thing, wearing a tattered jacket with his head askew aimed at Chen Ge, seemingly preparing to sneak up on him.

　　”It’s you!”

　　Chen Ge saw what looked like a person lying in the middle of the road when he came over in a cab, and the thing in the middle of the road flew away into the bushes next to him as the car passed by.

　　The monster lying in the distance didn’t expect Chen Ge’s ears to be so sensitive, and approaching from behind still allowed it to be discovered.

　　It decisively retreated, and its body quickly fled as if it had no bones.

　　”What the hell was that thing?”

　　Chen Ge climbed up from the ground, he wasn’t sure if the monster that had just fled was the same one he had encountered before.

　　”Their existence should be related to this weird tunnel.”

　　Patting the dust on his body, Chen Ge decided to leave this place first: “After Zhang Ya wakes up, I’ll bring all my staff and come back here to do a proper search, and maybe I’ll even meet more like-minded people. At that time, I will invite them to be my guests in my haunted house.”

　　Holding the white cat in his arms, Chen Ge walked along the highway towards the outside.

　　”You cat seems to have gotten heavy again, next time when you bite me be gentle, it’s bleeding and I don’t know if I need to get a rabies vaccine ……”

　　After walking along the highway for thirty minutes, Chen Ge didn’t see a single car pass by, this place was really too desolate.

　　About almost to four o’clock, finally there is a moving company’s truck passed by Chen Ge, that car toward the direction of the city of Jiujiang, Chen Ge see down the road immediately rushed to the other side and shouted for help.

　　The driver’s heart is not bad, the speed of the car slowed down, but did not open the door, through the car window cautiously surveyed Chen Ge.

　　”Older brother, can I get a ride? I want to go downtown.”

　　While the driver was sizing up Chen Ge, Chen Ge was also scanning the other party, the person driving the car was probably around forty years old, his face was blanched, his body looked very weak, probably because of the frequent late nights, his eyes were dark.

　　”Why are you skulking alone in the suburbs this late at night? And holding a cat?” The driver felt that Chen Ge was very suspicious, and everywhere was eerie.

　　”I run a haunted house, and I’m also an internet celebrity, I usually like to visit spirits live, and by the way, I’m looking for some inspiration for my own haunted house design.” Chen Ge’s unusual self-introduction stunned the driver, and the other party didn’t react for half a day.

　　”Look, this is my short video personal homepage, and this is a report on Jiujiang News about my bravery.” Chen Ge handed his cell phone to the driver through the window crack, and the other party looked at it for half a day before figuring out Chen Ge’s occupation.

　　”I’m a moving company’s car, so if you don’t mind, just make do with the cargo box in the back and I’ll take you downtown.” The driver returned the cell phone to Chen Ge.

　　”Thanks a lot.” Chen Ge didn’t make any pretense, opened the door at the back of the van, and jumped straight in, “Older brother, you can drive now.”

　　”You remember to lock the door from the inside, or else once you open it, be careful of the things inside falling out.”

　　”Don’t worry.”

　　After Chen Ge closed the compartment door tightly, the car started up, and he stood in the middle of the cargo box, his body shaking along with the van.

　　He wanted to find something to cushion himself and sit down for a rest, and when he used his cell phone to illuminate himself, he inadvertently found a lot of ropes thrown in the wagon.

　　These ropes should have been used by the moving company to fix the furniture, which would have been fine, but Chen Ge saw that some of the ropes were stained with blood.

　　With the touch of his fingers, that blood had already solidified.

　　”Older brother, where did you drive this car from? Why are you working at night?” From the voice alone, nothing could be heard, and Chen Ge acted as if he was casually inquiring.

　　”Don’t mention it, yesterday we met a very strange customer who offered us double the price to move him at night.” The driver didn’t think much about it and returned Chen Ge’s sentence.

　　”Moving at night? Us?” Chen Ge was keen enough to notice something rather strange in the driver’s words, “Older brother, you’re the only one in this car? Where are your coworkers?”

　　”They’re still helping out over there, the guests are very generous, a tip of three hundred per person.” There was a hint of envy in the driver’s words.

　　”Helping out? Has your moving company ever been in a similar situation before?”

　　”It’s just helping guests move furniture and stuff into the house, it’s normal.”

　　The driver didn’t think it was a big deal, but instead felt that Chen Ge was a bit strange.

　　”Older brother, I’m seeing you as a nice person, that’s why I’m telling you so much.” Chen Ge took a few pictures of the rope, “Did you guys find anything strange when you were moving those furniture? Or smelled some sort of strange stench?”

　　”We’re just the ones who put out the hard labor, how would we care that much?”

　　The car speeds up and the road condition gradually deteriorates.

　　Without asking for more, Chen Ge sat next to the rope and also felt that he might have been too sensitive.

　　As he was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, his cell phone suddenly vibrated, he took it out and found that it was Li Zheng calling.

　　”There must be a very important discovery.” Chen Ge picked up the phone, “Team Li, what are you looking for me for?”

　　”Forensics found that skin fragments of the missing person were extracted from the inside of the sculpture, and someone used that sculpture to transport the body a few years ago!”
