Chapter 0610 – Monster Living in a Nightmare

　　Chen’s plan was actually very simple, to utilize the special connection between ghosts and monsters to retrace the path he had just taken.

　　Unlike last time, this time he decided to have Bai Qiulin replace him.

　　He wanted to see if the ghosts and monsters would appear to be in the same situation as he was just now when they were blindfolded.

　　Before Bai Qiulin, who had just been called out, could understand what Chen meant, he was blindfolded by his own boss with his sleeve.

　　”Don’t think about anything, empty your mind and move forward.” Chen Ge and Xu Yin stood three or four meters away from Bai Qiulin, watching her every move.

　　If danger arose, the two of them could also rescue her in time.

　　He didn’t know what his boss was going to do, but in Bai Qiulin’s mind, his boss was always right, so he did what Chen Ge said without asking why.

　　He walked along the tunnel for a long time, but Bai Qiulin didn’t encounter what Chen Ge encountered just now.

　　Until he removed the sleeves covering his eyes, Bai Qiulin was still full of confusion, completely unable to figure out what his boss was trying to do.

　　”It’s useless for ghosts and monsters to be blindfolded, so why is this happening?” Ghosts and monsters were mostly formed by the obsessions of people after they died, and the biggest difference between them and the living was that they didn’t have a physical body, only a soul.

　　”The reason why I encountered that situation, could it be because opening my eyes in this tunnel is the world that living people see, and blindfolding my eyes changes it into a soul moving forward.”

　　Ordinary people wouldn’t think in this direction even if they encountered such a situation, but Chen Ge was different, in some ways he had extremely rich experiences, his way of thinking logically, was completely different from ordinary people, and in many cases, he would even stand in the position of the ghosts and monsters to think about the problem.

　　”Can’t be 100% sure, this should just be a possibility. But this experiment also indirectly proved one thing, only when I was blindfolded would I encounter those strange things.” The method of trying to make ghosts and monsters instead and finding a way out through that didn’t work, and Chen was back to square one.

　　”It looks like I’ll have to go out on my own, but with the staff around for protection, it’ll be a lot safer this time.” Chen Ge brought the ghosts and monsters back to the cab and explained a few words to Lao Zhou and Bai Qiulin before walking deeper into the tunnel for the third time, blindfolded and with his hands on the wall.

　　Darkness engulfed Chen Ge, but this time he wasn’t too worried since he knew he was accompanied by an employee.

　　After walking towards the front for a full 10 minutes, Chen Ge stopped in his tracks.

　　The expected fork in the road did not appear, and there was only one tunnel, straight ahead with no end in sight.

　　”Why did I fail this time too? What exactly is the problem?” Comparing the 1st and 3rd attempts, the only difference was that the 1st time Chen Ge was alone, while the 3rd time he was accompanied by all the ghost employees.

　　”Could there be a limit to the number of people? No, it could be that the presence of the employees caused something that was supposed to come close to me to not dare to come over.” The driver had said when he disappeared that a strange object had appeared there on Chen’s left cheek at that time, and now that he thought about it, the reason why there was a change in the tunnel might have something to do with that object.

　　”This driver disappeared in the middle of his speech, I’m afraid that it’s also that thing that’s behind it.” Chen looked at the dark tunnel, a little indecisive, bringing the employee with him, that ghostly thing wouldn’t dare to appear, but if he put away the employee, his own safety wasn’t guaranteed.

　　Glancing down at the screen of his cell phone, Chen Ge wanted to determine how much time was left until the deadline of the mission, but he unexpectedly found that the time on his cell phone was going backwards, as if it was not a clock, but a countdown.

　　”Why is the cell phone malfunctioning? Why is the time going backwards? I’ve been in this tunnel for at least half an hour, but how is this time still the same as when I first entered the tunnel.”

　　Something must have gone wrong somewhere, Chen leaned his back against the wall and gazed at his brows in contemplation.

　　”No one can play with time, so what went wrong?” It had been a long time since he had felt this kind of impatience, and the ghostly employees were unable to offer him any help in this situation.

　　There was no way to leave the tunnel, and he didn’t know how much time had passed, not to mention going to complete the trial mission, right now Chen Ge didn’t even know how to get out of the trap.

　　He looked at the pitch-black tunnel, his expression slowly becoming grave, “These situations didn’t occur last time I came alone.”

　　After carefully recalling his last mission experience for a moment, Chen Ge made a decision.

　　He put all the ghosts and monsters into his backpack, and the originally crowded tunnel instantly became cold. Amidst the pitch blackness, only two figures stood opposite each other.

　　”Go back, just leave the rest to me.” Gently patting Xu Yin’s shoulder, Chen Ge turned off the repeater.

　　He packed everything away and stood up straight, his gaze leveled at the depths of the tunnel without a trace of fear on his face.

　　”All Black Cell Phone missions are fair, without giving, you won’t get a reward, and the risk and reward are directly proportional.”

　　”It’s been a long time since I’ve gone on a risk, I’ve almost forgotten the feeling I had when I first obtained my black cell phone, dancing on the edge of a dangerous cliff, walking on top of a tightrope, if I’m not careful, I’ll be shattered to pieces.” Chen took a deep breath, as if he had let go of all his worries, and he mumbled to himself into the air, “I’m the only one now.”

　　He threw his organized backpack on the cab casually. Just like the last time he did the nightmare level daily quest, unarmed and without any haunted house employees with him, he walked alone, towards the deepest darkness.

　　”I’d like to see what the world will become after closing my eyes?”

　　With a resolute face, Chen Ge seemed to deliberately provoke, his gaze filled with disdain.

　　He picked up the driver’s sleeve, and in the last moment of blindfolding himself, he looked behind himself and silently recited Zhang Ya’s name in his heart.

　　There was no response, and his own shadow was exactly the same as usual.

　　Chen Ge’s stoic face appeared to change a little, but he didn’t back down.

　　Once again, he used his sleeve to cover his eyes, and this time, he didn’t have anyone to accompany him, just like when he did the nightmare quest.

　　Holding onto the wall and slowly moving forward, he had probably only walked out a few meters when a rustling sound came from Chen Ge’s ears, as if there were countless centipedes crawling on the wall.

　　”Once I open my eyes, all my efforts will be wasted, no matter what happens this time, I won’t open my eyes.”

　　Chen Ge’s backbone for doing so came from Zhang Ya among the shadows, who would not stand by and watch Chen Ge get hurt.

　　”Come on, let me see what you have in this tunnel.”

　　Without any hesitation, Chen Ge passed through the rustling sound.

　　He was using himself as bait, waiting for the “big fish” in the tunnel to bite.

　　Someone seemed to be blowing in his ears, and his body temperature was dropping, but none of this could stop Chen Ge’s footsteps.
