Chapter 1065 – Dreaming of Chen Ge

　　In the silence of the late night, a dark figure slowly walked around the living room.

　　The clock on the wall ticked, it was now three in the morning.

　　The fingertips scratched across the wall skin, and the figure finally stopped at Ying Chen’s bedroom door.

　　The doorknob slowly turned and the door panel was pushed open.

　　A grim gaze pierced through the darkness and stared at the man in his pajamas on the bed.

　　He was sleeping heavily, the corners of his mouth rising as if he had dreamed of something very happy.

　　The figure outside the door slowly approached the bed and silently walked to the bedside.

　　The sound of pages turning suddenly came from the dark bedroom, and the pungent smell of blood overflowed the room.

　　Ying Chen, who was lying on the bed, frowned as he rolled over, just in time to face the figure beside the bed.

　　Silently squatting in front of the man, the figure cocked his head to survey the sleeping man, slowly raising the hideously exaggerated skull-crushing hammer in his hand.

　　”Ying Chen?”

　　Shouting softly, Ying Chen’s eyelids blinked, and the sleeping man slowly opened his eyes.

　　Hazily he seemed to see a person standing beside his bed, his eyes slowly coming into focus as a hammer full of barbs and even open blood grooves was flying towards his shoulder.

　　Sucking in a sharp breath of cool air, Ying Chen instantly jumped up from the bed and tumbled towards one side.

　　The barbs scraped through his pajamas and landed on the bed, directly smashing through the wooden plank bed!

　　Ying Chen almost didn’t dare to think about it, if he hadn’t dodged just now, this blow would probably have crippled him.

　　”Who are you!” Standing on the other side of the bed, Ying Chen’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, he was stunned and his voice was trembling.

　　”You were able to dodge it, not because I didn’t hit it, but I wanted to play with you slowly.”

　　The voice in the darkness caused Ying Chen to get goosebumps straight away, and at the same time he felt that this voice was very familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

　　He was too stunned to think of anything more before the figure rushed over again.

　　Palms touching the desk, Ying Chen took out a fruit knife, but before he could wield the knife, his arm was slammed by a huge force and he instantly lost consciousness.

　　The entire arm rested limply on his shoulder, and the fruit knife fell to the ground.

　　Kicking the knife to the side, the figure standing in the darkness stared at Ying Chen in death.

　　At this moment Ying Chen didn’t even dare to move, his back was against the wall, completely unable to figure out how this terrifying guy in front of him appeared in his room.

　　”I’m not good at bullying the weak after all, the game you’re so keen on is just too boring in my opinion.” The figure took the initiative to take a step back, gently shook his head, and dragged the heavy skull crushing hammer just like that out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him in the process.

　　Heart beating wildly, Ying Chen covered his unconscious arm, he now had the feeling that he seemed to be dreaming.

　　The smell of blood was getting heavier and heavier, a trail of blood was spreading in the room, and a pale face was surfacing on the walls.

　　……

　　With his back against the bedroom door, Chen Ge put away the skull crushing hammer and listened to the miserable screams in Ying Chen’s bedroom.

　　After half an hour, the screams stopped, and Chen Ge reopened the door and dragged Ying Chen out.

　　”This mental quality is also very average, far from the Underworld Tire’s role as Ying Chen.”

　　While Chen Ge was dragging and pulling Ying Chen, catcalls continued to emanate from that room that was used by Ying Chen to keep stray cats.

　　One of the catcalls was extremely shrill, which made Chen Ge think of the catcalls from the world behind Ying Chen’s door.

　　It was because of the early warning of the cat calls that he was able to determine Ying Chen’s location.

　　”Almost forgot, you guys are also victims.” Chen Ge directly smashed open that door, and the moment the door panel opened, countless cats poured out all at once, and they passed through Chen Ge’s body, scattering and disappearing.

　　”Are those the cats that died in this house? It’s also good that they regained their freedom.”

　　Chen Ge entered the house, there were still a few injured stray cats on the ground, they were very afraid of Chen Ge, as soon as Chen Ge came in they cowered in the corners, trying to escape.

　　”Behind the door you guys saved me, outside the door I’ll come and help you guys.”

　　Chen Ge was not a doctor, so he decided to wait until after dawn to send these cats to the pet hospital, and then take them back to New Century Paradise after they were treated.

　　”Chen Ge ……” Ying pupil came out of the room, he touched the wall, the boy still hadn’t gotten used to opening his eyes.

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”There’s a body hidden under Ying Chen’s bed, it’s his stepfather’s.” The stepdad in Ying pupil’s mouth was the relative that Ying Chen had mentioned before, a relative who had actually treated them very well, but Ying Chen didn’t feel the same way, “There’s also Mr. Wood, Ms. Skirt, and Aunt Wu …… I know where they are.”

　　Ying pupil was talking about the location of the corpses, which made Chen Ge feel bad in his heart as well, he touched Ying pupil’s head, “En, we will find all of them.”

　　Sitting on the sofa, Chen Ge dialed Li Zheng’s number, and when the call was connected and Li Zheng’s confused voice came from the other side of the phone, Chen Ge suddenly realized that it was not even four in the morning.

　　”It’s like this, Team Li, I’m currently at Ying Chen’s house.”

　　”Didn’t we agree to check out his house together this morning?” Li Zheng had already sobered up, and he detected a hint of abnormality in Chen Ge’s tone of voice.

　　”As you know, I’m cynical and can’t sleep at all when I think of evil people still at large.”

　　”Cut the bullshit and get to the point, did you find anything?” The sound of Li Zheng getting dressed was already coming from the other side of the phone.

　　”Ying Chen did not just abuse cats, he also killed someone, the body is under the bed. You guys come over as soon as possible, the witnesses and physical evidence have all been found.”

　　”Make sure to keep yourself and the witnesses safe! We’ll be right there!”

　　The phone hung up, Chen Ge listened to the beeping busy signal and glanced towards Ying Chen next to him, “Subduing such a vicious and perverted murderer, do I need to be injured again as well before I can do it?”

　　Chen Ge quietly tore apart his outer and inner clothes, looking rather wretched.

　　While waiting for the police to arrive, Chen Ge took out his black cell phone from his pocket, slid the screen, and tapped on the unread messages.

　　”The four-star trial mission Underworld Fetus has completed seven-ninths of the way, Underworld Fetus has lost its eyes to see through hearts and minds, and can no longer gain insight into your thoughts! Lucky red-robed favorites! Your time is running out!”

　　”Lucky Redcoat Favorite! Cursed Class Special Red Clothes Favorability has broken through a critical level, activating Favorability Quest – Red High Heels!”

　　”Red High Heels (favorability quest, after completion there is a high probability that the red coat attached to the high heels will be taken as an employee): have you ever heard of a curse game, the name of this game is – Red High Heels.”

　　”Mission Requirement: enter the cursed hospital in the wee hours of midnight and look for a pair of blood-red high heels.”

　　”Mission tip: Am I beautiful?”

　　”There is no time limit for the goodwill mission, and as the goodwill increases, the difficulty of the mission will decrease accordingly.”

　　At four o’clock in the morning, Li Zheng led the team to arrive at Ying Chen’s house.

　　Ying pupil was protected by them and handed over to a professional doctor for examination, while Chen Ge cooperated with the police at the scene.

　　Evidence was taken and investigated, and it was only from four o’clock until after eight o’clock that Chen Ge was finally able to rest for a while.

　　He had cooperated enough and left the rest to the police.

　　”Brother Zheng, my side will be opening soon, can you let me go back and tell the employees before I come back?”

　　Chen Ge’s situation was clear to Li Zheng, and he knew that Chen Ge was having a hard time, so he nodded in agreement, “I’ll have someone drive you back.”

　　”There’s one more thing.” Chen Ge pointed at the stray cats in the hut, “Can I take them too?”

　　”It’s fine if you want to adopt stray cats, but not right now, we found human blood in the cats’ fur, they can’t leave this room for now.”

　　”Then can we find a vet to treat them? Some of the cats have claws that are showing bone, I just can’t bear it.”

　　”Don’t worry, leave it to us.”

　　The Hanyue police were still very trustworthy, Chen Ge said thank you, and now that the police force was tight, he didn’t bother the police and took a cab back to New Century Paradise by himself.

　　Just after walking next to the House of Horrors, Chen Ge heard Xiao Gu and Wu Jinpeng’s voices.

　　”Why hasn’t Boss Chen come over yet? Doesn’t he usually live in the haunted house? Could something have happened?” Wu Jinpeng was worried, he knew that Chen Ge would often do dangerous things to find his parents.

　　”At first I would be worried, then I got used to it, our boss has the habit of running at night, a run is a night, I got up in the morning to look at my cell phone, the boss’s remembered steps are all in four digits starting ……”

　　”Xiao Gu.” Chen Ge’s voice came from behind, scaring Xiao Gu: “Hurry up and go put on your makeup and get ready to open for business.”

　　Pushing aside the guardrail, Chen Ge entered the dressing room and put on the employees’ makeup, then personally led Wu Jinpeng to learn various scaring techniques, and by the way, let some of the employees in the backpack return to their respective scenes.

　　Until ten o’clock, Chen Ge couldn’t hold out any longer and went outside to casually eat something, then returned to the staff lounge and fell asleep.

　　The Underworld Mission lasted for nine days, and he had already entered several doors in a row, so his body was a bit overwhelmed.

　　After sleeping until three o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Ge was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone, he glanced at the caller ID and hurriedly picked up, “Brother Zheng, what are you looking for me for?”

　　”Also trouble you to come over here, Ying pupil has some words that she is only willing to say to you, this child suffers from a serious mental illness, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a poor child in my many years as a police officer.”

　　”Okay, be right there.” Chen Ge carried his backpack and ran out of the house of horrors, under the astonished gaze of the tourists, he took a taxi to the city precinct.

　　……

　　There were four people sitting in the large conference room of the city branch’s criminal investigation team at this time, two of them were also children.

　　Ying Hitomi sat beside Chen Ge with her eyes closed, and Li Zheng sat on the other side of the conference table with Zhen Zhen.

　　”Chen Ge, this case has been taken over by Team Yan, he was very angry when he learned about Ying pupil, I’ve rarely seen him show such an angry expression.” Li Zheng opened the laptop on the table and took out the recorder again, “This time, I invited you over mainly because I want to figure out one thing.”

　　”What is it?”

　　Li Zheng sighed lightly, “How did you deduce the murder case through a single dream of Zhen Zhen? Chen Ge, I hope you don’t think of me as a cop now, just think of me as a friend and tell me everything you know.”

　　Ying pupil was the seventh child chosen by the Underworld Fetus, and Zhen Zhen was the remnant of the Underworld Fetus made by Shadow, that’s why he was able to dream about it, but there was no way for Chen Ge to tell Li Zheng about all these things because the Underworld Fetus was really too dangerous, and the fewer people who knew about his existence, the better.

　　”I don’t want to pry into your secrets, I’m just worried that there are others who are suffering from the same despair as Ying pupil.” Li Zheng looked at Chen Ge, hoping that Chen Ge would say something, but the conference room was frighteningly quiet.

　　After ten minutes of this stalemate, Li Zheng spoke again, “In fact, after learning about the case of the two Ying Chen brothers, we questioned Zhen Zhen once again to see if he had any other dreams of any kind? Or did he dream about anything about a certain person?”

　　”Did he dream about a certain person again?” Chen Ge was a bit curious, the Underworld Fetus had chosen nine children, and now there was another child still hidden in Hanyang.

　　”Yes, he dreamed about it.” Li Zheng’s expression was a bit strange, “The person he dreamt about the most was you, the scenes he described were all your experiences as a child, we didn’t mean to investigate you. Before, we wanted to help you find your parents, so we searched some information about you.”

　　”I’m a little confused, Zhen Zhen dreamed about me?” Chen Ge knew that he was also one of the nine children chosen by the Stygian Fetus, but he didn’t think that the Stygian Fetus would be pinned on him.

　　It was true that the Underworld Fetus was a ferocious god, but Zhang Ya was also not false to him at all, so if the Underworld Fetus was on himself, then Zhang Ya would definitely find out.

　　”The dreams that Zhen Zhen has been having lately are all about you, and he dreams that you …… are being killed by all sorts of methods.” Li Zheng imported the contents of the recorder into the computer and played it in front of Chen Ge.

　　Listening to Zhen Zhen recounting such horrifying content in childish language, Chen Ge’s palms were also drenched in sweat, Zhen Zhen dreamed of nine ways to die, in other words Chen Ge was killed nine times in Zhen Zhen’s dreams.

　　”No wonder he was so afraid of me the last time I saw him.” Chen Ge didn’t bother answering Li Zheng’s question, instead, he asked about another matter, “Brother Zheng, hasn’t Zhen Zhen had any other dreams besides me?”

　　There was still one child short of nine, and now there were only two nights left before the Underworld Fetus awakened.

　　”No.” Li Zheng shook his head.

　　The conference room once again fell into silence, Li Zheng looked at Chen Ge and frowned to himself, when it came to other people’s matters, Chen Ge was always able to restore the truth by pulling out the threads of the cocoon, but now when it came to himself, the man did not say a word.

　　”It’s fine if you really don’t want to talk about it, but I hope you can trust us and not carry everything alone.” Li Zheng poured Chen Ge a cup of water, “Lastly, I have one more thing to tell you, Ying pupil’s psychotherapy needs your cooperation, this child only trusts you.”

　　”En, no problem.” Chen Ge agreed in one gulp, he stroked Ying pupil’s head, “Right, Brother Zheng, if I want to adopt a child what formalities do I have to go through?”

　　”Adopting a child isn’t something you can decide on a brainstorm, go back and think about it before you say anything.” Li Zheng was like a nagging big brother, “It’s easy to raise children, but educating them and mending their childhood wounds is a very difficult thing to do, even professional doctors don’t dare to pack their bags, you are unaware of the difficulties involved.”

　　”The difficulties can also be overcome.” Chen Ge broke his fingers and did some math, the ones who were close to his children were Fan Yu, Jiang Ling, Ying Xie, and so on.

　　Although these children were traumatized, when they came out of the shadows and grew up, they would definitely become exceptionally powerful people.
