Chapter 0992 – Trap, or Opportunity
Chen Ge told Team Yan and Li Zheng all the clues he could, and when the two heard that someone wanted to kill Chen Ge, their expressions immediately became different.
They knew that Chen Ge wouldn’t joke around with something like this, since Chen Ge said that someone was trying to kill him, it meant that not only did the other party really want to kill Chen Ge, but they also made Chen Ge feel threatened like never before, otherwise, with Chen Ge’s character, he wouldn’t have rushed to report the case without having any concrete clues.
After talking for another hour, Chen Ge told the police everything he could.
Later, Team Yan even called over the criminal investigation portrait expert from the city precinct, and based on Chen Ge’s description, he drew the face of the Stygian Fetus as a baby.
After requesting the police, Chen Ge left in a hurry and moved on to the next place.
”The child next to Jia Ming might also correspond to a shrine, he’s going to know more about the shadow and the Plutonic Fetus than Zhang Yi, and after he’s caught in the net, the fog shrouding the Plutonic Fetus should dissipate.”
Taking a taxi to the hospital, Chen Ge arrived at the ward specially founded for fainting comas, some of the patients inside had already left after treatment, but their vacant beds could always be filled by those who came after them, with the House of Horrors fire, the beds would occasionally become tight, and new beds could only be added in the aisles on a temporary basis.
Carrying a heavy backpack, Chen Ge stopped outside a certain ward under the nurse’s guidance.
Virtual Future Paradise’s employee benefits were still very good, and the top management of their paradise had gotten a separate ward for the six employees who had been scared unconscious in their own haunted house.
Knocking on the door and entering, the policeman, Xiaoling and the woman with long black hair were fighting the landlord, and when the three saw Chen Ge enter, they subconsciously winced, and the horrible memories that had been so hard to forget surfaced once again.
However, unlike those tourists who had passed out in Chen Ge’s haunted house, these Virtual Future Land employees did not think that their horrific encounters that day had anything to do with Chen Ge, they just thought it was strange that everyone had passed out, so why was he the only one who was still fine.
”The haunted house I visited with them that day, some of it involved secrets between the two parks ……,” Chen Ge hadn’t finished speaking when the nurse gestured and left.
”Chen Ge, I’m much offended that day, I’ve made you laugh.” The policeman felt that Chen Ge was a very reliable person, and if not for the difference in positions, he felt that we would even become friends.
”There’s something wrong with your haunted house.” Chen Ge’s expression was serious as he sat down next to the trio, “Don’t spread out what I say here.”
”En.”
”I’m here just to make sure of one thing with you guys.” Chen Ge swept his gaze over the three people, “Did we …… really hit a ghost that day?”
The three Paradise employees didn’t say anything, just had complicated expressions.
Chen Ge threw his backpack to the corner of the room, and took out his own cell phone and placed it on the table, “Don’t worry, I won’t record or videotape, you can search yourselves all you want, I’m here just to figure out this matter.”
The policeman and Xiaoling both looked towards the woman with long black hair, the three exchanged glances, and finally Xiaoling quietly checked the door of the room to make sure it was closed before she dared to speak, “It’s not just you who find it strange, but we’ve been having a panic attack in our hearts as well.”
”Many of the ghosts and monsters we encountered that day were not in the program, which means that there was indeed something in the scene that didn’t belong there in the first place.” The policeman wore a bitter smile on his face, “Anyway, I won’t be helping out in the haunted house in the future, and if I have to, I’ll just have to quit.”
”Why is this happening? Is it really because those old objects have the remnants of the dead attached to them? Like the shrine in the House of the Damned?” Chen Ge was slowly guiding a few people, he wanted to obtain certain information but couldn’t say it too bluntly.
”Other than that, we can’t think of any other explanation.”
”I heard someone say that all the old objects were gotten into the haunted house by a manager surnamed Jiang, could Manager Jiang have known about it long ago?” Chen Ge asked with curiosity, “What is this Manager Jiang’s origin? It takes a lot of money to build a haunted house of that size, how come the top management of your paradise agreed to it?”
”Jiang Jiu himself is one of the decision makers of the paradise, he is also a shareholder of the paradise, he used to do real estate, and I heard that he had a conflict with your paradise’s director Luo ten years ago.” Xiao Ling sat down on the hospital bed again, “Anyway, it’s just very powerful, a small employee like me can only look up to it.”
”Had a conflict with Director Luo?” This was something Chen Ge hadn’t thought of, he now felt like he was standing in a spider’s web that had taken years to weave, he could vaguely see the truth but at the same time the preying spiders also saw him.
”Yeah, they used to be in real estate, for some reason they all had their eyes on a piece of land in the western suburbs, and in the end that land was taken by Director Luo.” The woman with long black hair seemed to know a lot of things, and the kind of aura she herself carried was different from ordinary employees.
”Is it that piece of land in New Century Paradise?”
”En, that piece of land looked average at the time, but now I have to admire the vision of the bigwigs.”
”Average?” Above ground Chen Ge knew it was average, but underground it wasn’t necessarily so, he stayed mindful and digressed.
”The old generation’s grudges have nothing to do with us, I’m trying to figure out right now, Jiang Jiu deliberately stuffed those old objects into the haunted house, the purpose doesn’t seem to be pure.” Chen Ge pondered for a moment, “I went to look up a lot of information after I left your paradise and found that that shrine was not used to worship ghosts and gods, but was used for curses. There is a clay figure amongst each shrine, and anyone who touches it will be cursed, this is completely not taking the lives of the visitors seriously!”
”There should be some kind of misunderstanding.”
”Something will definitely happen if that shrine is left unattended, you guys have personally experienced how scary an out-of-control haunted house can be, human lives are at stake, I have to have a good talk with the person in charge of your haunted house.” Chen Ge’s tone was serious: “Can you guys contact Jiang Jiu?”
These few people were just employees, Chen Ge didn’t expect to be able to contact the park’s top management Jiang Jiu through them at all, instead he wanted to find out Jiang Ming’s information from them and then take action tonight.
This was also the reason why he didn’t let the police intervene in the Virtual Future Paradise, the severe ghosts in the Cursed House had seen the clay sculpture with Jiang Ming’s name written on it, indicating that Jiang Ming was one of the nine children, and the police intervening would instead disrupt his plans and make things a bit troublesome.
”This Jiang Ming looks about the same age as me, when the shadow separates from the Underworld Fetus, he might already be in his teens, and I’ve met with him in Paradise, I feel normal and well-connected, why would such a guy be chosen by the Underworld Fetus? Could it be a trap deliberately designed by the Underworld Tire?”
The probability of the Underworld Tire being on Jiang Ming was not high, but Chen Ge was still prepared to wait until the evening to meet him in person.
The employees of the Virtual Future Paradise reacted strangely when they heard that Chen Ge wanted to contact Jiang Jiu, they didn’t immediately reject Chen Ge, but instead, all of them looked at the woman with long black hair.
”What? You can contact Jiang Jiu?”
”I can’t contact Jiang Jiu, but his godson Jiang Ming is my ex-boyfriend. We were together for three and a half years and then broke up for a ridiculous reason.” The woman with long black hair belonged to that kind of strong woman character, even if she was sad in her heart, she wouldn’t show it.
”A very ridiculous reason?” Chen Ge was a little curious.
”When I first went to his home, I found that Jiang Ming had a four or five year old child at home, and that child was also called Jiang Ming, I asked him what relationship that child had with him, but he stammered and couldn’t answer.”
