Chapter 0493 – Children
The cell phone was turned on the amplifier, and Xiao Gu heard Chen Ge’s words clearly, when he heard Chen Ge’s sentence – I only have one request for you, release my employee, his nose turned sour and his hands clenched together.
He felt that he was a very unlucky person, no matter where he went, he would always cause trouble for people, it was like this in the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood, and it was still like this after he became an employee of the haunted house.
But even so, his own boss never disliked him, and even said such things at critical moments.
The rain was heavy, but Xiao Gu’s heart was warm, he felt that he also had a home in Jiujiang that he could rely on.
The raincoat woman also heard Chen Ge’s words, she stood in the middle of the rainstorm, her body slowly returned to normal, the rain slid down her bright red raincoat.
After a long time, the raincoat woman twisted her head to the cell phone and brought her mouth to it, “Have you seen my child?”
”Within a week, I will let you see your child.” Chen Ge promised in one bite.
The raincoat woman didn’t speak again, she slowly lowered her head, hugged Xiao Gu’s clothes and left the Eastern Suburbs Waterworks, seemingly rushing to the next station.
Watching the red raincoat disappear, Xiao Gu sat in the middle of the muddy water as if he had been deflated.
”Boss, she’s gone! Saved!” Having come back from the dead, Xiao Gu sounded a little excited.
”Don’t run around, find a place to shelter from the rain, I’ll go over to pick you up later. Also, pay attention to keeping your cell phone charged, and by the way, set my number to one-touch dialing.”
”Okay.”
”Hang up first, I have to do what I promised her before I can do it.”
The phone hung up, and Xiao Gu honestly set Chen Ge’s number to one-touch dialing.
After getting it all done, he put away the phone and walked towards another unlucky passenger – Huang Ling.
”It’s okay.” He reached out his hand towards Huang Ling, and it took a long time for the shocked Huang Ling to shake Xiao Gu’s hand and get up from the ground.
”What was …… that just now?” Huang Ling did not know where to start, her eyes were full of fear, she was completely unable to accept that just two hours ago, she was still in the company to endure the difficulties of the customers, but as a result, two hours ago, she was riding a bus full of dead people to the suburbs.
”I can’t tell you, when my boss comes over, let him tell you, he knows a lot of things.” Xiao Gu led Huang Ling to run outside the waterworks and stood under the eaves to avoid the rain.
The torrential rain washed over her, Huang Ling’s clothes were already soaked through, and the makeup on her face was splattered, but she didn’t care about that in the slightest, taking her cell phone, she kept dialing a certain number, but there was no answer.
”Are you calling your husband?” Xiao Gu heard the conversation between Huang Ling and her husband on the bus, the two of them had an argument, and Huang Ling seemed to have entertained the idea of divorce.
Huang Ling nodded, she inexplicably felt fear in her heart, this fear was completely different from the kind of fear just now, to be more uneasy and painful.
”Why don’t you pick up? What is he doing? Answer the phone.”
Xiao Gu looked at Huang Ling, who was frantically calling her husband, and didn’t say anything.
Just now, on bus 104, Huang Ling’s husband had frantically called her, asking her where she was, and in the end, he even directly shouted out that the bus was full of ghosts.
Her husband was not on the bus, so how did he know that Huang Ling had gotten on a hearse? And how did she know that the car was full of ghosts?
The answer to this question, I guess Huang Ling himself also thought, so she will now frantically call her husband.
Xiao Gu silently looked at Huang Ling, this mature woman who was much older than him, and leaned his back against the wall, almost collapsing.
Lightning flashed and rain dripped down her chin.
……
Hanging up Xiao Gu’s phone call, Chen Ge stood in the doll workshop, he took out a broken cell phone that could plug in a big card, which had long been eliminated from the market.
”Tong Tong, was the ghost on the other side of the phone just now Red?”
After Chen Ge learned that Xiao Gu had an accident, he immediately summoned the cell phone ghost to keep an eye on Xiao Gu.
The cell phone ghost with a dry and thin body reacted a bit strangely, he did not answer Chen Ge’s question and picked up the cell phone that was about to be eliminated.
A few seconds later, Chen Ge received a text message from the cell phone ghost with only three words.
”Don’t go over.”
”She’s dangerous? Is it Red?” Chen Ge felt that the cell phone ghost knew nothing about the power of his own haunted house, which was why he was dissuaded, “It’s fine even if it’s Red, after all, there’s only one of her.”
The cell phone ghost shook his head and sent over another message.
”I’ve seen her, she died in Liwan Town, it’s dangerous there.”
Looking at the cell phone ghost’s text message, Chen Ge remembered that the cell phone ghost’s body was also found on the roof of a certain apartment building in Liwan Town, and this kid seemed to know Liwan Town very well.
”Are ghosts that die in Liwan Town different from ghosts in other places?” Chen Ge was very curious about Liwan Town, the commission left by Dr. Gao before he committed suicide was for him to shut down the out-of-control door in Liwan Town: “Could it be because the door is completely out of control, causing the ghosts to become different?”
The cell phone ghost shook his head again, he didn’t seem to know how to describe it.
Chen Ge looked at the cell phone ghost and felt a little unsettled in his heart, “Liwan Town is in the eastern suburb, and that memory I saw in the tunnel happened in the eastern suburb as well.”
”At that time, I was still a small child, and someone tried to kill me, but it didn’t work.”
”The game that Fan Cong recounted during the day seemed to be set in the eastern suburbs, and the main character of the game was a small child.”
”Wait, I seem to have found some sort of commonality.”
”The raincoat woman’s child looks like she was lost in the eastern suburb, the cell phone ghost was abducted to the eastern suburb in the first place, and even in the photo that Dr. Gao showed me in the end, my parents were talking to a little girl in red in the eastern suburb.”
”Why does it feel like everything related to the Eastern Suburbs is a child?”
The phone vibrated gently, and the cell phone ghost sent Chen Ge another text message, “I can’t say for sure, but you can take me with you, I’ll lead the way.”
”Good.” Chen Ge collected the cell phone ghost, locked the door of the workshop, returned to the haunted house in the rain, simply cleaned up, put on his bag, and hurriedly left in his raincoat.
Standing at the intersection, Chen Ge waited for a full fifteen minutes before stopping a cab.
Waiting for a car in the rain, even wearing a raincoat, his body was still wet for most of the time, which made him even more eager to get a special car for his haunted house.
”Let’s pick up Xiao Gu first, there’s no rush to investigate the eastern suburbs.”
Sitting in the cab, Chen Ge took out his own cell phone to exchange text messages with the cell phone ghost, and they followed the route that the 104 bus had taken, chasing after it one stop at a time.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and after entering the suburbs, the lights on both sides of the road slowly decreased, as if there was a big black curtain covering everything.
”The calmness of the eastern suburbs is definitely just an illusion that something is deliberately displaying, the situation here may already be serious.” Chen Ge had never seen an out-of-control door before, and he looked out the window with an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.
