Chapter 0554 – The Number Kissed by the Dead
Chen Ge vaguely recalled the time when he just drew Zhang Ya, at that time he did not know that there was a difference between the red clothes and the ordinary severe ghosts, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he insisted on slowly stabilizing Zhang Ya with a sincere heart.
”Causing Zhang Ya to hate will be killed, too much for Zhang Ya to be touched will also be killed, must control a degree, with this one on his body is already scary enough, if he attracts something more dangerous, it will not end well at that time.”
There would be too many uncontrollable things that would happen after the title was upgraded, which was something Chen Ge was unwilling to see.
”Draw out two more Knight Ghosts, and the Knight Ghost Favored One title will be upgraded, but in terms of normal probability, the possibility of drawing out a Knight Ghost isn’t very high, and I still have two more chances right now ……”
Chen Ge was a bit moved, he looked at the horror carousel on his cell phone screen and slowly lifted his finger.
To put it in perspective the terror carousel was actually a very important feature on the black cell phone, Zhang Ya, Xu Yin, Yan Dainian, these three drawn Knightly Ghosts had given Chen Ge a great deal of help, if not for them, Chen Ge would not have been able to make it to this point at all.
”There are two ways to enhance one’s strength, completing nightmare level daily quests, or drawing something useful from the carousel.” Chen Ge had obtained the black cell phone for a while, but as of today, the things he had drawn were either Knight Ghosts or Knight Ghost-related items, which made him a bit desperate: “Perhaps from the first time we drew Zhang Ya out of the lottery, things started to move in a direction that no one knows.”
After not sleeping all night, Chen Ge felt a bit groggy in the head, “Let’s try drawing once first, anyway, the title of Lich Demon Favored One will only be upgraded after drawing two more Lich Demons.”
Lighting a cigarette, Chen Ge stood up and walked around his haunted house, he had gone to great lengths to be able to draw something good, he had tried drawing at noon when the sunlight was at its strongest, he had tried drawing at the time when the early sun was rising and everything was glowing with life, and he had tried riding his bicycle and running a couple of kilometers away from the paradise to draw a prize, but all of these had proved to be of little use.
”How about fighting fire with fire this time? Wait until the wee hours of midnight, and stand up to the deepest part of the haunted house to draw prizes at the heaviest time of the day in terms of Yin Qi?”
After thinking for a while, Chen Ge still gave up on this plan, “It’s better to ask the Pen Fairy.”
He entered the underground scene and prepared to combine the abilities of Pen Fairy and the Tear Sculpture to deduce whether he would draw a severe ghost this time.
Pushing open the door of the girl’s dormitory, Chen Ge saw a ballpoint pen wrapped in tape, drawing circles on the paper in a bored manner.
”Long time no see.” Probably startled by Chen Ge’s cordial voice, the pen rolled toward a place away from Chen Ge.
”What’s the point of running? I have something serious to ask you.” Chen Ge held the ballpoint pen and inquired if he would next draw out the severe ghost from the black cell phone’s spinning wheel.
But what he didn’t expect was that only halfway through the question, the pen fairy showed signs of collapsing, scaring him into stopping.
Then he tried again with the sculpture that would shed tears, and the result was the same, it seemed that whenever the black cell phone was involved, the abilities of these ghosts and monsters would go out of control.
”It’s really strange, this cell phone my parents left me is a bit unusual.”
There was no way to speculate, so Chen Ge didn’t dwell on it, he went into the bathroom and washed his hands, then ran to the 104th Hearse and waited for his mood to completely calm down before clicking on the carousel on the black cell phone screen.
Concentrating on the cell phone screen, the carousel turned slower and slower, and Chen Ge’s heart lifted.
The scream value that he had accumulated during this period of time was enough for him to draw five times in a row, and if he didn’t draw a Lich Demon this time, he would continue to draw until he ran out of scream value.
With a soft sound, the carousel stopped and the pointer stopped at a certain place.
”Drawing completed! Congratulations on obtaining the special prop – Cursed Game Invitation (one percent chance of winning).”
”Invitation to the Curse Game: curses and deaths take turns in this hospital, and no one knows where the limits of humanity lie.”
”Invitation?” Chen Ge read it carefully a few times and finally determined that it wasn’t a curse this time he drew, “Am I going to change my luck? Is everything going to be okay? Even though this invitation doesn’t look like anything good, it’s at least a little better than a title upgrade.”
Sitting in the driver’s seat of the hearse, Chen Ge felt that it was this vehicle that brought him good luck: “As long as the severe ghosts don’t appear every time, that’s the normal probability.”
Chen Ge’s heart was much more at ease as he clicked on the dial once again.
The rapidly rotating carousel slowly stopped after a few seconds, and under Chen Ge’s gaze, a new winning message popped up on his cell phone.
”Lucky draw completed! Lucky Knightly Ghost Favored One, congratulations on obtaining the Rare Class Special Prop – Phone Number Kissed by the Deceased (Winning Probability of 5 in 1,000)!”
”The police found that every deceased person dialed this phone number during the last period of their lives.”
”The fourth time the Knight Ghost was drawn! Lucky Knightly Ghost Favored One, when you draw a Knightly Ghost for the fifth time, the title of Knightly Ghost Favored One will be automatically upgraded!”
Chen Ge had a bad feeling in his heart when he saw the words Lucky Knightly Ghost Favored One: “A phone number kissed by the dead? The probability of winning the lottery is five out of a thousand, this probability is lower than both Xu Yin and Yan Dainian, second only to Zhang Ya, and it’s likely that it’s also a Redcoat!”
Once again, he drew the Liger, Chen Ge looked at his hand, and to be honest, he was also a little scared.
”Is this reels broken? All the labels on it are fake probabilities, right?”
After a few minutes, Chen Ge calmed down and flipped back with his phone.
”If I draw the Knight Ghost one more time, the title will be upgraded, should I mang it once?”
No one knew what changes would occur after the title was upgraded, everything was unknown.
”When I first obtained the black cell phone, I was guided by it to start contacting this world hidden in the shadows, and to this day I don’t dare to say that I have fully understood this world. Or rather the more I know, the more I understand the horror of this world.” Chen Ge put the black cell phone away, “Let’s wait until the injury on Zhang Ya’s hand is healed before we continue the lottery, or else we’ll always feel unsettled.”
Chen Ge returned to the haunted house, entered the prop repair room, and then rummaged through the wooden box left behind by his parents in the corner to find two items.
A crumpled note with a phone number written on it, starting with 010 and ending with three zeros, it should be a landline number.
”This note seems to have once been clutched hard in someone’s hand, is it a struggle before death? Why is this number called the number kissed by the dead? Will I meet Redcoat if I dial this number?”
Soon the Paradise would open its doors, Chen Ge was ready to try again when it cleared, he folded the note and put it in his pocket, then looked at another object.
It was a registration slip stamped with the engraved seal of Xinhai Central Hospital, the registration department, registration fee, and name were all blank, only the date column, with bright red paint, had a few numbers painted crookedly.
