Chapter 0593 – The Drowning Man’s Coat
Closing his breath for too long, Chen Ge still hadn’t slowed down that energy by now.
His head was dizzy, but even in this state, he still had a death grip on the coffin board and the rope that penetrated the doll’s heart.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Ge finally adjusted his state, and he looked at his cell phone screen.
”Twin-born Water Ghost (Mission Difficulty 2-star), 100% mission completion, obtaining the Hidden Prop Reward – Drowned Man’s Tunic.”
”Drowned Man’s Tunic (Grudge value seventeen): there are things underwater, they slowly crawled into my clothes and dragged me into the middle of the deep water.”
”One hundred percent mission completion, it seems that the hole underneath the reservoir was not counted by the black cell phone in the Twin Water Ghosts mission.” Chen Ge put away the black cell phone and still had many questions in his mind, “The coffin is stuck in the middle of the hole, is it to block the hole?”
Chen Ge had previously realized that Xu Yin did not dare to go near the end of the coffin lid, and he felt that the mystery on the coffin might be hidden in the lid.
Putting on his clothes, Chen Ge put the coffin lid across the boat, “I’m sure I can’t carry this back, and the cab probably won’t let me get in the car with the lid, so I have to think of a way.”
The lid that Chen Ge fished out from underwater was much smaller than the normal lid of a coffin, the surface had already rotted, with some red specks attached, not sure if it was the corpse of a bug or some kind of withered aquatic plant.
Getting those things off the surface of the coffin lid, Chen Ge made a shocking discovery at the end of the lid.
A vicious ghost was carved on the rotting wooden board, which was wrapped in chains and had six eyes, almost the same as the vicious ghost that the Weird Talk Association had carved on the door of the haunted house.
”The Weird Tales Society held a ceremony to kill people and gouge out their eyes, and they ended up making such a thing on that door of my haunted house as well. They wanted to hijack the door of my haunted house at that time, so this evil ghost pattern should have the effect of guarding the ‘door’.” Chen Ge took out his own cell phone and took a picture of the evil ghost pattern, “The coffin is stuck in the mouth of the cave, and the lid is carved with evil ghosts, could this arrangement be to guard the cave underneath the reservoir? To prevent what’s inside from escaping?”
Using a coffin to subdue a cave, such an idea was probably something only Chen Ge would have.
”The black cell phone released a mission for me to fish for a corpse, which means it should be able to consider the situation where I take the coffin along with me, so even if there’s something terrifying hidden in the cavern, it won’t pose a threat to me.” The coffin lid was brought out, then let Chen Ge return it that was definitely impossible, Chen Ge just found himself a reason: “The coffin is likely to be arranged by the black hand behind the eastern suburb, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it doesn’t want to let the monsters in the cave come out, but I’m going to let them out.”
Chen Ge wasn’t sure what exactly was in the cave, and he also didn’t know what direction that cave led to.
To be honest, he wasn’t curious at all right now, and was only thinking about getting away from this place first, so that nothing would really come out later and spread the anger of being imprisoned on him.
As Chen Ge prepared to row away, a deep black shadow emerged on the calm water.
”Almost forgot about her.”
The shadow stuck to the edge of the boat, and strands of black hair floated out of the water, spreading towards the interior of the boat as if it possessed life, and finally crawled into one of the dolls.
Picking up that doll casually, Chen Ge realized that this doll was not quite the same as the others, she was wearing a bloodstained little dress, her hair was that of a real person, and the name engraved on her back was also blood red.
”Zhao Shuang’er? This doll is Wen’s sister?” The Twinborn Water Ghost mission had been successful, but there were still a lot of dolls dolls on the ship.
”All the dolls have names engraved on their backs, and each of them represents a life.” When they were underwater, Chen Ge could feel the children’s trepidation; they were still young, and the vast majority of them hadn’t seen the world properly yet.
”This involves too many things, I’m afraid I can’t handle it alone, it’s better to tell Team Yan and the others.” Ninety percent of Jiujiang’s annual missing persons were in the Eastern Suburbs, and if it was said that all of them had lost their lives because of the Shadow’s plan, the number would be terrifying.
Alone, he removed the doll doll that Wenwen’s sister was hiding in, and there was another strange thing about this doll, her clothes were always wet.
Chen Ge worries about her wetting the comic book and stuffs it into his pocket.
Calling back all the ghosts and monsters, Chen Ge rowed the boat back to the shore.
Zhang Dapo was relieved to see Chen Ge return safely, he was really going crazy on the shore.
The man in front of him not only ran to the reservoir alone at night to fish for corpses, he even jumped into the depths of the reservoir without any safety measures, he felt his heart pounding just watching from the shore, and he was afraid that the King of Fish would suddenly appear and attack Chen Ge.
”Older brother, give me a hand.” The boat was rowed to the shore, and Chen Ge pushed the coffin board towards the river bank.
”What is this thing?” Zhang Dapo was a real person, and he grabbed the coffin lid while dragging it hard toward the bank.
”The coffin lid, I found it under the reservoir.”
”Coffin?” Hearing Chen Ge’s words, Zhang Dapo didn’t step steadily and almost sat on the ground, “Didn’t you go to fish for the corpse? Why did you drag the lid of the coffin up here?”
”There are four corpses under the reservoir, I can’t handle it alone, it’s better to call the police and let the professionals do it.”
”Four, four?” Zhang Dapo couldn’t dare to imagine that the reservoir he usually guarded was hiding so many corpses.
Chen Ge moved everything on the boat to the riverbank, and his cell phone happened to ring at this time.
”Calling the police now?” Zhang Dapo looked at the coffin board, his eyes were lifeless and a little flustered.
”There’s no rush, I’ll take a call first.” The one who called Chen Ge was none other than Li Zheng, previously Chen Ge had sent a message to Team Yan and Li Zheng when he saw Huang Ling’s husband, but probably because it was too late, they didn’t reply right away.
Pressing the answer button, Chen Ge hadn’t even opened his mouth when Li Zheng’s voice came out from over there.
”Chen Ge, you said that Huang Ling’s husband is a murder suspect? How many percent sure are you?”
”Ten percent, I suggest that you’d better catch him as soon as possible, that person is very dangerous, the longer you delay the more unfavorable it will be.” Chen Ge said with great certainty, “There’s another thing, I found four female corpses here in Donggang Reservoir.”
”Donggang?”
”Yes, under the water, when I went down to explore, Huang Ling’s husband was also in that neighborhood.”
Li Zheng didn’t bother to ask Chen Ge why he ran to the reservoir in the middle of the night to look for the bodies, he gave Chen Ge a direct reply, “Wait there, our men will be here soon.”
”Thanks for your hard work.” The phone hung up, Chen Ge glanced at Zhang Dapo who was fuming next to him, “Older brother, the police will be here soon, we might still trouble you later.”
”No trouble, if there’s anything I can use, just say it.” After these things just now, Zhang Dapo’s eyes were a little different when he looked at Chen Ge.
At 3:10 a.m., the officers on duty at the Eastern Suburb Police Station and the police from the city precinct arrived at the same time.
At the same time, Chen Ge received another call from Li Zheng.
”Chen Ge, the situation is a little off, I personally went to Huang Ling’s house to see, Huang Ling is delirious, and her husband isn’t home.”
”You guys follow the surveillance next to Donggang Reservoir, you should be able to determine the route of his actions, this person is critical and dangerous, you guys must be careful when looking for him.”
