Chapter 0589 – Thick Fog
”You remember one thing, no matter what you encounter on the water, as long as the boat doesn’t capsize there is still hope.” Zhang Dapo this person is very good, he saw Chen Ge was ready, and entered the management room to take out a life jacket: “The whole reservoir is just one, it was issued to me by the leader, and I usually don’t use it, so you make do with what you’ve got.”
”Thanks a lot, go back inside, the shore is not too safe.” Chen Ge was not polite, put on the life jacket, waved his hand at Zhang Dapo, and then paddled towards the distance.
It was a wonderful experience to row alone in the reservoir in the middle of the night.
The sky and water were all black, there was no light around, it was completely wrapped in darkness, and it felt like his body was slowly merging into the darkness as well.
Chen Ge did not venture to the center of the reservoir, and after rowing away from the riverbank, he began to communicate with the tank ghost.
This ghost that was brought out from the Living Coffin Village did not retain any memories from its life, and would mostly only act according to instinct, making communication very difficult.
To outsiders, Chen Ge’s behavior at this moment appeared very bizarre, as he kept waving his hands at the water, as if he was communicating with the water.
”The little girl’s body, it’s about this long, after you see it, give me the location, then I’ll give you the rope, and you can just tie the rope around her.” Chen Ge said it several times, the cylinder ghost still couldn’t understand such a complicated instruction, he shrank under the water surface, his round head spitting out bubbles, looking at Chen Ge blearily.
”Forget it, I’m the one who demanded too much from you.” Chen Ge couldn’t blame the cylinder ghost, he took out his own cell phone and flipped to a photo with a small child, “Go underwater and see if there are any children like this, don’t make too much noise, if you encounter any danger that you can’t cope with, retreat immediately, your safety comes first.”
Chen Ge would often ask his employees to do all sorts of things, but he had his own guidelines in his heart, and would never rely on sacrificing ghosts and monsters to achieve his own goals.
Perhaps because of this, those ghosts that were forced to stay in the house of horrors for various reasons would eventually grow up and become excellent “employees”.
After simplifying the order, the cylinder ghost seemed to understand, and his body sank, gradually disappearing from Chen Ge’s sight.
”It’s not even twelve in the morning, let’s hope everything goes well.” Chen Ge looked towards the shampoo bottle in his backpack, in fact, he had a more efficient method, which was to release Wen Wen’s sister and let her search for the body on her own, “If the cylinder ghost fails, then consider Wen Wen’s sister.”
After waiting on the shore for a full ten minutes, the cylinder ghost returned, his expression horrified and terrified.
With his body hiding underwater, the cylinder ghost waved his hands that were disproportionate to his head, his mouth babbled and didn’t know what he was saying, and Chen Ge could only see countless bubbles rising out of the water.
”Slow down, don’t summon anything over later.” Chen Ge flipped through the anime picture book and called Old Zhou out, “Can you understand what he’s saying?”
He felt that ghosts and ghosts should be able to communicate with each other more easily, Old Zhou stared at the tank ghost’s mouth and looked at it for a long time before he returned, “There are many people under the water, and he’s scared.”
”Ask him if he found the little girl’s body.” Chen Ge sighed in relief, he suddenly Old Zhou still had the talent to be an interpreter, this was definitely a rare talent.
The communication between Old Zhou and the cylinder ghost was silent, Chen Ge used the ghost ear ability granted by the black cell phone to vaguely capture some vague words.
”He didn’t see the girl’s body, but he found a lot of corpses piled up somewhere under the water, and it’s possible that the girl’s body is hidden among them.” After talking with the cylinder ghost, Old Zhou came to the conclusion, “There are many bodies underwater, there should be the one you’re looking for, but it will take time.”
”One night should be enough time, it’s okay to be slow.” Chen Ge let the cylinder ghost lead the way and was about to row the boat into the distance when a light suddenly shone on him.
Turning his head in bewilderment, Chen Ge then saw Zhang Dapo waving his flashlight on the shore.
”What’s wrong?”
”I just seemed to see another person in your boat!” Zhang Dapo’s palm holding the flashlight was filled with cold sweat: “It’s not too late for you to turn around.”
”You should have seen it wrong.” Chen Ge signaled Old Zhou to go back to the comic book, he didn’t get any response, when he looked towards the bow he realized that Old Zhou reacted faster than him and had already disappeared when the flashlight shone over, “Turn off the flashlight, be careful of attracting the king of the fishes over.”
Chen Ge felt like the protagonist in those horror movies in the market, not listening to the advice, bent on doing something until he finally saw the ghost.
Shaking his head, Chen Ge pushed this strange thought out of his mind and paddled towards the center of the reservoir.
Donggang Reservoir was not too big, not too small, after rowing to the center of the reservoir, Chen Ge felt as if he had become part of the reservoir, his body assimilated into the darkness.
There was no light, and the offshore was far away, Chen Ge did not worry about Old Zhou being seen, and released him again, “Tell the tank ghost to grab one end of the rope, and if you find the little girl’s body, tie it to the rope, and I will personally fish her out.”
Old Zhou relayed Chen Ge’s words and put the hemp rope from the boat into the water, and the cylinder ghost grabbed the rope and dove under the water once again.
The surface of the water regained its calmness, and Chen Ge and Old Zhou grasped one end of the hemp rope as if they were fishing, maintaining the same position and waiting silently.
Time passed by minute by minute, until midnight zero, the cylinder ghost still did not return.
”Could something have happened?” Although Chen Ge was very strict with the cylinder ghost, the other party was after all his own employee, and belonged to his own people in Chen Ge’s heart.
The night was thick, and as soon as zero hour passed, a light fog rose from the water surface, completely separating the reservoir from the surrounding area.
”Why is it foggy at this time?” The shampoo bottle in the backpack was gently trembling, and a strand of black hair poked out of the mouth of the bottle as if to remind Chen Ge.
The repeater also rustled at this time, Chen Ge smelled a faint odor of blood, he didn’t call out but Xu Yin took the initiative to appear at the stern.
”Something’s not right ah, there seems to be some changes in this two star trial mission.” According to the difficulty of a normal two-star mission, it would be good to have a half-bodied red coat, it wouldn’t be able to threaten Xu Yin at all, but strangely enough, Xu Yin appeared at this time.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, Chen Ge could vaguely see the lights shining on the shore, but after only a few minutes, he couldn’t even see the light from the shore anymore.
Chen Ge was now in the center of the reservoir, with the current drifting and the boat spinning in place, gradually he was somewhat unable to tell the direction, feeling that he had been cut off from the outside world.
”Pay attention to the water surface.” Chen Ge summoned Bai Qiulin out as well, telling him and Old Zhou to guard the bow, Xu Yin to guard the stern, and himself to sit in the center of the boat.
The fog was still getting thicker, what made Chen Ge feel even more surprised was that there seemed to be a voice coming out of the thick fog, and he didn’t know if it was coming from above the water or from underneath the water, the person was calling his name, and the voice was still very familiar.
