Chapter 1138 – Welcome to the Favored Ones
”Lucky red-clothed favorites! Congratulations on obtaining the Toilet Ghost! Number of haunted house employees plus one!”
”Toilet Ghost (Dong Wentao): no one knows his past or why he has become what he is now, I can only tell you that he has a lot of potential in him, let’s see if you can bring it out.”
Chen Ge looked at the new information on his black cell phone, he didn’t expect the toilet ghost to directly become a haunted house employee.
”I’m just inviting him with ten red clothes, and he’s surprisingly agreeing so readily.”
Silently surveying the Toilet Ghost standing in the group of red coats, Chen Ge didn’t expect that the black cell phone would rate him quite highly.
This Literal Ghost was very ordinary if one looked at his appearance alone, wearing a worn out old suit with disheveled hair, a standard social animal outfit.
”Since you have potential, you need to push it a bit more, maybe uncle can also cloak the thorns and ride the waves.”
Putting the double-legged toilet ghost and the other red clothes into the comic book, Chen Ge walked out of the bathroom, “This was originally a haunted place as well, now that the severe ghosts have been collected, it’s quite a waste to keep it deserted.”
He removed the yellow paper on the door head, took a ballpoint pen wrapped in tape, and wrote a few words on the back of the paper, “The evil spirits have left, so you can use this bathroom without fear.”
Casually sticking the yellow paper on the door panel, Chen Ge dragged the skull crushing hammer out of the apartment building.
”Next, who should I pick up?”
Looking at the map on his cell phone, Chen Ge came to the subway line three in Hanjiang: “The black cell phone says that this stern ghost is hiding in line four in Hanjiang, but there are only three subway lines in Hanjiang right now, and line four is still under construction.”
At this time, the subway station was about to close, Chen Ge stopped near line three and asked someone for information about line four.
The staff said that it would be a long time before line four could be put into use, the specific reason was not told, just a rather strange face.
Only after further questioning did the staff say that a strange person would often be captured in the surveillance of the Hanjiang subway station at night.
That person would appear on different subways, always sitting alone in a certain seat, while the people around him did not seem to notice his presence at all.
As construction began on Line 4, the man could no longer be seen on the surveillance, but workers often saw ghostly figures shifting in the depths of the tunnels, and the staff suspected that the ghosts from the subway had run into Line 4, which was under construction.
After roughly figuring it out, Chen Ge quietly entered the construction site of Line 4, in order not to let anyone find out, he had to release a few redcoats in advance, so that they converge their whole body breath and enter the tunnel to look for it.
Originally, Chen Ge had already prepared for a long search, but as a result, who knew that he hadn’t gone out far before he vaguely saw a young man with no clothes on a hundred meters away running wildly towards the depths of the tunnel with all his might.
”Running naked in a subway construction site at eleven o’clock at night?”
It was hard for Chen Ge not to notice him, and immediately had several red coats take control of the young man.
Somewhat strangely, it was as if that young man knew in advance that Chen Ge was coming over, and he looked at Chen Ge’s face with fear in his eyes.
”Have we met before?” Chen Ge felt that something was very wrong, having never met, why would the other party look at him with such eyes?
”What you’re afraid of isn’t even Red Clothes, but me? Why? Do you know me? That’s not right, if you know me, then you should know better what kind of person I am.”
A trail of blood emerged on the young man’s body and changed into a simple dress, his face was pale and his body was almost transparent, he looked like he was about to die.
”Brother, at least say something, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?” Chen Ge had just walked next to the young man when the young man sat down on the ground and used all his strength to retreat backward until he was stopped by the red clothes.
Seeing that there was no way back, he climbed up from the ground as if he had resigned himself to his fate and said towards Chen Ge, “I am willing to become an employee of your haunted house.”
As soon as the young man said this, instead, Chen Ge froze, “I haven’t even opened my mouth yet, why did you snatch the answer? Could it be that you can read minds?”
His face still pale, the young man shook his head helplessly, “We already met once ten seconds ago.”
”Ten seconds ago?”
”My name is Time Over, my ability is to go back ten seconds ago, this ability is very restricted, it can only be used once a month, but it has a strange effect if used well.” The young man whispered.
”Time talent?!” Not only Chen Ge, even the surrounding red clothes were surprised.
Although the Time Passage ability could only be used once a month, if used properly, it could completely reverse the situation!
”Time Over, only I myself can go back ten seconds ago, and it’s not as useful as you guys think.” Timeless was full of bitter smiles, “I used this ability just now, but unfortunately, even if I were given ten seconds, there’s no way to escape from you. That said, how did you know I existed? And you even brought ten Red Clothes here specifically?”
”I was fighting with a cursed hospital in Xinhai, they got your information and wanted to enslave and transform you, so I jumped ahead of them and did it.” Chen Ge earnestly extended his hand towards Timothy, “Welcome to the House of Horrors, let me know if you have any last wishes or things you want to do.”
Timeless hesitated for a moment and held Chen Ge’s hand.
”By the way, why are you so afraid of me? What exactly did I do to you ten seconds ago?”
”I can’t tell you, I’ll suffer a terrible backlash if I tell you.” Timothy was willing to join the House of Horrors, but he was not prompted with a message on his black cell phone, he had not completely trusted Chen Ge yet, and there should be other plans in his heart.
Putting Timothy into the comic book, Chen Ge put him together with Old White and Old Zhou.
”The Knight Ghost recorded in the black cell phone carousel is really of extremely high quality, such a special ability is really too rare.” Chen Ge thought highly of Timothy, but unfortunately Timothy hadn’t revealed any information about himself, so Chen Ge had no way to prescribe the right medicine to help Timothy open his heart.
”Take your time, I still have time.”
Putting away the comic book and the black cell phone, Chen Ge went back to the middle of a high-rise neighborhood in the new district.
It was now twelve midnight, and there were not many households in the neighborhood, and at a glance, only a few scattered households still had lights on.
”The black cell phone only said that the Butterfly Hair Card is in this neighborhood, but it didn’t tell me the specific address, there are at least hundreds of residents in this neighborhood, do I have to go door-to-door to look for it?”
Chen Ge stood in the center of the neighborhood and looked up at several high-rise buildings, “When is this going to be found?”
Taking out the comic book, Chen Ge was a bit hesitant, it was not good to just let ghosts and monsters into other people’s homes.
He was a very principled person, if others didn’t mess with him, he wouldn’t try to influence them.
”I’d better go find it myself.” Holding the comic book, Chen Ge was about to withdraw his gaze when he suddenly saw a woman with long hair standing on the top floor of a certain residential building.
Both pupils narrowed as Chen Ge used his Yin pupils, and he could see clearly that the woman was holding something in her hand and stepping on the edge of the building.
As if she had sensed Chen Ge’s gaze, the woman who was originally in a daze slowly twisted her head, her black hair slipping down, revealing a miserable and twisted face.
Her scarlet eyes reflected Chen Ge’s figure, and her blood-stained lips slowly opened as she seemed to be saying something to Chen Ge.
The more she spoke, the more out of control her emotions became, her face became hideous and a black vein emerged.
Already becoming like a monster, she finally made a certain decision, her hands lifted up and she put the butterfly hairpin in her palm on top of her head.
Eyes full of malice stared deathly at Chen Ge, she opened her hands like a black butterfly fighting fire, jumped down from the top of a tall building, and laughed fiercely as she stretched out her hands towards Chen Ge!
The night wind struck her tunic and a wound surfaced, half of her body was stained with blood, and all of her injuries were turned into hatred.
”The first gift you gave me, I have always carried it on my head, I treat everything you give me like a treasure, and you ……” The resentment stung her eyes, and half of the red clothed woman was in the middle of her sentence, when she suddenly saw that a cursing young man appeared beside the young man downstairs child.
Immediately after the child appeared next to a middle-aged man with one hand in his pocket, and then was falling at high speed, her ears suddenly sounded a rustle of electricity.
One after another figure dressed in red appeared beside the young man, and the resentment and blood emanating from them was as if they were going to bury the entire neighborhood alive.
The terrifying aura made the woman shiver, the problem was that she was halfway through her jump and could no longer control her body, she could only watch herself descend.
”Which one of you go over and catch her?”
Countless threads of blood wrapped around the woman’s body, her face was hideously twisted as she maintained her head downward position and landed a meter in front of Chen Ge.
Nearly ten red coats surrounded her in the center, she had even forgotten what she wanted to say, and now she just felt a bit overwhelmed.
”You must communicate more when you encounter difficulties in life, if no one is willing to listen, you can come to me later.” Chen Ge let the several red coats retrieve their blood as he helped the woman up from the ground, “What’s the name of that scummy guy who failed you? I can take you to him.”
First scared to death, then suddenly somewhat moved, the woman’s lips trembled a few times, “He fled the city and got married in Xinhai.”
”New Sea? No problem, I will personally take you to him in a few days, are you willing to follow me?” Chen Ge’s eyes were clear, without any impurities.
The woman nodded, and frankly, she was still giddy.
Everything that happened to her tonight was too sudden for a ghost.
”Then we’ll be family from now on, I’ll help you fulfill your heart’s desire.” Chen Ge put the woman into the comic book and led his staff towards the next place again.
”I didn’t realize that the stern ghost that was hosted on the butterfly hair card was actually a half-bodied red dress, she has an extremely strong grudge, and with a little cultivation, she should be able to become a red dress.”
Scanning the map on his cell phone, Chen Ge walked out of the residential building, “The only red-clothed stern ghost I drew is also on this side of the new district, so since I’m here, I’ll go and take a look at her on the way.”
The red-clothed stern ghost, Blood Rong, was in the new district, Yiren Pavilion, and the black cell phone gave her a rating of extremely dangerous.
The construction of the new district of Hanyue is very good, this side is relatively close to Xinhai, it is a transportation hub on the road, and there are a lot of outsiders.
Chen Ge did not find the location of Yiren Pavilion in his cell phone navigation, and he searched the Internet for a long time before finding a few pieces of information related to Yiren Pavilion.
This beauty salon was very hot a few years ago, doing high-end beauty and body care, and was only famous in the upper circles, and then, without knowing what happened, it was suddenly closed by the police.
The internet said anything and everything, the more reliable reason could be related to a murder case.
The dead information is not public, the murderer is not known to have been caught, the family of the deceased seems to have no recourse, the whole case is like a stone thrown into a deep pool, just a few ripples, and then no one ever paid attention to it.
According to the scattered clues on the Internet, Chen Ge went through the skyscrapers and came to the other side of the city.
The shiny new district during the day appeared cold and clear at night, the buildings on both sides of the road slowly became shorter, and the air gradually freshened up.
At the end of the concrete road, Chen Ge saw an abandoned garden.
Various kinds of flowers climbed on the rusty iron guardrail, and it was obviously past the blooming season, but the flowers on the iron guardrail were still blooming as bright red as blood.
This place hadn’t been taken care of for a few years, and was overgrown with weeds, and the trees had grown crookedly because no one had pruned them.
Going over the fence, Chen Ge saw a path in the weeds.
Walking on it, he could vaguely feel the beauty of this garden once.
”Hanyue even has this kind of mixed Chinese and Western style garden? It would be a shame for such a good place to be deserted just because it’s haunted.” Chen Ge walked to the end of the road and a villa appeared in front of him.
The architectural style of the house was on the western side, but the three Chinese characters Yi Ren Pavilion were written above the doorway in a dragon’s hand.
”It’s better to be careful if we deal with Red.”
Even though Chen Ge had many helpers now, there was still a chance that the other party would be able to escape if they were careless.
Flipping through the anime albums, Chen Ge instructed his employees in advance to tighten their auras before summoning them.
One by one, the red clothes appeared, and nothing unusual happened in the abandoned villa until the red high heels appeared.
In fact, Chen Ge was not prepared to let the red high heels come out at first, he wanted the red high heels to absorb the memories of the Underworld Fetus as soon as possible, if the red high heels could become the Fierce God before he went to the hospital, then he would be under much less pressure.
But what Chen Ge didn’t expect was that the red high heels seemed to sense something and showed up of their own accord.
What surprised him even more was that as soon as the red high-heeled shoes appeared, the entire abandoned villa, including the huge area of the garden, began to float with blood mist.
Drops of bright red blood seemed to solidify on the leaves as if they were dewdrops, looking very bizarre.
The red high heels walked in front of all the red clothes, the aura on her body was only something that Boo could fight against, and that was just the aura that she was unconsciously radiating.
”Will it scare people away?” Soon Chen Ge realized that his worries were redundant, the door of the Yi Ren Pavilion was opened from the inside, and the strong smell of potion and the pungent smell of blood floated out at the same time.
Red high-heeled shoes directly entered it, and Chen Ge hurriedly called on the other employees to follow along.
The interior of the villa was extremely oddly decorated, with a portrait of a human face hanging on the walls, the floor tiles were also pieced together to look like a human face, and almost all of the items in the house had human bodies painted on them.
”This place is also too scary.” Chen Ge silently stood amongst the employees, “Turn around and find a reason to persuade Luo Dong to buy this place.”
