Chapter 0678 – Little Boy
”My haunted house is very famous in Hanjiang, you guys can know it by just searching online, the treatment is the highest in the same industry. When we go back, I will slowly train you all, and I hope that you will truly enjoy this profession.”
After the stern ghost employees, Chen Ge had harvested three more living employees, and these three were different from Xiao Gu and Xu Wan, they were clear about everything that had happened in Liwan Town, and their mindset was different from normal people, so Chen Ge could rest assured that they would enter the underground scene to help out.
”This world isn’t as simple as what we usually see, the main reason I didn’t want you guys to help before was that I have some homeless li’l ghosts hosted in my haunted house, so ……”
”We understand!” Several people understood what Chen Ge meant, after seeing all the weirdness in Liwan Town, they could completely understand Chen Ge’s hardship.
”Alright then.” Chen Ge decided to arrange for Scissors and the others to enter the underground scene and be responsible for handling emergencies.
As the House of Horrors continued to expand, the underground scene was getting bigger and bigger while receiving more and more tourists, Chen Ge definitely couldn’t be responsible for it alone.
”After dawn, you guys take a good rest for a day and report to your families.” Chen Ge finished looking at the scissors and the doctor, “One of you is here to look for your brother, and one of you is here to see your wives, so later on, I’ll take you guys for a good spin around Liwan Town, and hopefully you’ll be able to find them.”
Hearing that Chen Ge was going to help him look for his lost family, Scissors nodded heavily, and the doctor’s expression also slowed down at this moment, as if the stone in his heart had fallen, “Thank you.”
”You should.” Scissors and the doctor had only themselves left at home and didn’t have to worry about anything, but the drunkard was different, his ride on the No. 104 hearse into Liwan Town was a complete accident, and he was an ordinary person in every sense of the word.
”My home is in downtown Xinhai, I want to go back once the curse on my body is under control.” The drunkard scratched his head, “Don’t look at me like this, in fact, my family is still very rich, it’s just that after my mom passed away, my dad and I haven’t been on very good terms, so I’ve run off by myself in the past few years to make a living in Jiujiang. After this night, a lot of things I’ve thought about, and I’m not too young myself, so I want to find a chance to talk to him.”
”Rich second generation?” Scissors and Chen Ge really didn’t see that the drunkard had such a past.
”Don’t you guys think it’s a rude thing to call someone a rich second generation in front of others?” The drunkard covered his forehead, he already had a premonition that his future was going to be very exciting, “To reacquaint myself, my name is Zhang Jingjiu, I’m a very poor drinker, but my clients like to call me a drunkard, I used to sell houses and work as a liquor agent.”
”I got my name from the orphanage, I don’t really like it, you guys should just call me Scissors.”
Scissors and Drunkard both made brief introductions, when it came to the doctor, he shook his head, as if he had a hard time talking.
Chen Ge didn’t delve deeper into this issue either, and they followed Boo back to Liwan Town to meet up with Fan Cong.
”Boss Chen!” Fan Cong was very happy to see Chen Ge, but while he was happy, he had a trace of worry, he didn’t know how his brother, Fan Da De, was doing now.
”Your brother is definitely fine, the lucky ones will have their day.” After comforting Fan Cong, Chen Ge led the three living employees to walk around Liwan Town.
Under the banner of searching for Scissors and the doctor’s family, Chen Ge searched the entire town, but did not find anything left behind by the Weird Tales Association, and the severe ghosts that had originally stayed in the building had also quietly left after Shadow’s accident.
After searching for a long time, Scissors and the doctor still hadn’t seen the person they wanted to see, and they were slightly depressed.
”The shadow has been killed off, we can come to this place often in the future, and we will meet them sooner or later.” Chen Ge didn’t know if it was good to say this, but he felt that sometimes people actually lived for a hope, so the thought still had to be there.
”Prepare to leave, we’ve been behind the door for a long time, it’s time to go out and have a look.”
The Liwan Town quest had brought Chen Ge very many rewards, besides the scene unlocking and staff strength enhancement, he also knew a piece of information about the four-star scene Underworld Tire.
That ghost baby that ended up growing out of the shadow’s chest was most likely what the Underworld Fetus looked like when it was born, and Chen Ge had already memorized that child’s face in his mind.
A few people returned to the neighborhood where Fan Cong lived, Chen Ge let Boo make the preparations before opening the door, while he himself put the unconscious Li Zheng in the next room, and then started to make a statement with Scissors and the others, in the aspect of dealing with police interrogation, Chen Ge could be said to be a master in the field.
……
In a dilapidated building on the east side of Liwan Town, a family of three was cornered.
The man was in his forties, and he looked panicked as he huddled with a woman with a numb expression, with a little boy standing next to him.
”Shadow is dead, what are we still doing here? If you’re interested in the three of them, just kill them, do you still want to play cat and mouse?” Kitano crouched on the ground with his knife, a tall, thin young man stood beside him.
”I repeat, I’m not like you.” Jamin grabbed the young boy’s face and scrutinized it, “Yes, that’s him.”
”What are you talking about?” Kitano came over as well, scaring the boy.
”Shadow has done a lot of crazy things by attaching himself to me, and I know a lot of secrets about Shadow because of that, he once tried to plant a part of his body into the Matrix as a way to try out how many curses and grudges a living person can bear at most. As far as I can remember, it seems he only succeeded twice, once creating the Underworld Fetus, and once creating such a little monster.” Jamin looked at the boy and the numb woman with a very scary look in his eyes.
”So this child in front of you is part of the Underworld Fetus?” Kitano didn’t know what Jiamin was trying to do, and he agreed to work with Jiamin because he knew a lot of secrets.
”The Shadow took back the grudge and curse after the successful attempt, but even so, there must still be residue inside this child. He possesses the same curse as the Underworld Fetus and should be able to sense the Underworld Fetus’ location, and based on that alone, we have a reason to take him away.”
”Are you sure? But this child looks, it’s a little too ordinary, right?”
”This ordinary is the best disguise, if I hadn’t seen his mother, I really wouldn’t have recognized him.” Jia Ming picked up the boy and said to the couple, “For the sake of this child, I won’t kill you, but I hope that you’ll be obedient and cooperate with me to stimulate this child, so that he learns to manipulate the grievances and curses in his heart.”
”No problem.” The man agreed in a hearty voice, his head hanging low, a flicker of malice in his eyes.
”Let’s go, I also know the existence of another door in the eastern suburbs, we can leave through there.” After Jia Ming finished speaking, he led the others into the blood mist.
