Chapter 462: 462

“Looks like me, the favor he asked is related to me, smokes cigarette, and is happy go lucky . ” Chen Ge did feel like Doctor Chen was describing his father, but then he thought about it and realized that was not right . “I am such a big helper and lawful citizen; how could my father impersonate the police and speed drive? There has to be some misunderstanding . “

Doctor Chen looked at the bloodied tape that was turning in the recorder, and he did not comment but just nodded slightly . “That is what I thought as well . Whether that was your father or not, the favor he asked was definitely related to you . “

“Tell me . “

“For that, we have to go back to the Third Sick Hall . I followed the man’s instructions, and with Men Nan’s main persona’s help, we successfully closed the door . However, about half a year later, I realized that the door was opened again . “

“Was it the old director?” When Chen Ge completed the mission at the Third Sick Hall, he had found out that the old director was suffering from cancer . He did not want to die, so he had escaped into the world behind the door .

Doctor Chen shook his head . “The director was too old, and he did not have the guts . It was Doctor Gao who opened the door, and it was him who was talking into the old director’s ears . “

Sighing, the emotions in Doctor Chen’s eyes became complicated . “I treated Doctor Gao as my dearest friend, so I understood why he did that . If I was in his shoes, I perhaps would have done the same thing because I know how much he loved his wife . “

Finishing the water, Doctor Chen described what had happened over the past few years . “On how to deal with the door, there was a difference of opinion between me and Doctor Gao . I believe that the door is misfortune, an omen of tragedy, a problem that needs to be fixed immediately .

“However, Doctor Gao’s opinion was different from mine . He believed that the door could be used . Emotions like despair, pain, and anger could be manipulated . At the time, I didn’t know he had already opened a door of his own . Due to the difference of ideals, we eventually broke off .

“In the end, when I was forcing my way to close the door, I realized that he not only had a very good understanding of the door, he even owned a Red Specter . I was not his match, so I went to the man for help . From his perspective, we probably looked like two children arguing .

“He did not accost Doctor Gao . Instead, he went into the door at the Third Sick Hall . He seemed to make an important discovery inside that world, and that was related to his later disappearance . “

Doctor Chen suddenly paused . He looked at Chen Ge as if wondering whether to tell the rest .

“Don’t hesitate—just tell me everything you know . ” While Chen Ge was listening to Doctor Chen, he had already finished the boxed lunch .

“You should have been to the world behind the door at the Third Sick Hall already, but I wonder if Men Nan’s main persona has told you that the window in one of the rooms can’t be closed . “

“Window?” Chen Ge thought about it . When Chen Ge recently visited the Third Sick Hall, Men Nan did appear like he had been busy fixing the windows . “Yes, I do know that . “

“The man crossed swords with a monster behind the door, and they broke the window . I do not know what happened, but when the man left the door, there was a frown on his face . Then he asked me of this favor . “

Doctor Chen stood up from the bed, and his expression was serious . “He gave me three scenarios, and the favor would be different depending on these three scenarios . If you did not take up the Haunted House and chose to enter another field, then I was supposed to help you from the dark; if you took up the Haunted House but the results were not great, I was supposed to write you a letter every year with Mr . Chen’s name to tell you to give up; if you took up the Haunted House and did a good job, I was supposed to find you and tell you something in person . “

“What is it?” Chen Ge had a feeling that his parents had already predicted that he would take good care of the Haunted House .

Doctor Chen’s expression turned the most serious that it had been so far . He looked into Chen Ge’s eyes and said, “Do not go looking for them . “

“Do not go looking for them?” Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, smiling, but did not add anything beyond that .

“It’s such a shame because I failed to help you and even ended up needing your help . ” Doctor Chen did not know what to say . Chen Ge’s parents probably would not have predicted this as well .

“What were they doing before they disappeared? Anything weird they have told you or done, tell me everything . ” Chen Ge’s words sounded more like an order than a question .

Doctor Chen was afraid that Chen Ge might do something stupid, so he answered honestly . “They stopped contacting me after telling me this . I know that they had been going to Eastern Jiujiang before their disappearance like they were looking for something . “

“If they stopped contacting you, how do you know they had been to Eastern Jiujiang?” Chen Ge placed his finger on the recorder, and the bloodied tape turned slowly .

“These things are easy to find out . Eastern Jiujiang was relatively quiet, but for a period before your parents’ disappearance, mysterious cases of ghost arson, ghost highways, cursed hospitals, water ghosts, cursed babies, and many other things were revealed . ” Doctor Chen shivered just talking about them . “Whenever midnight arrived, something would happen in Eastern Jiujiang . After your parent’s disappearance, Eastern Jiujiang became quiet again . “

“You suspect that those things have something to do with my parents?”

“I’m ninety percent sure . “

“Are you kidding?” Chen Ge held the recorder and frowned . “We’ve always been a family of lawful citizens—why would they be involved in those things? Were they perhaps dragged into a big conspiracy?”

“That shouldn’t be the case . Eastern Jiujiang used to be quiet like it is now . There haven’t been any big case or too many supernatural happenings . ” Doctor Chen subconsciously lowered his voice .

“Something is up . After I’m done here, we shall both go to Eastern Jiujiang to take a look . There has to be a storm under the calm surface,” Chen Ge told Doctor Chen . “You can stay here for now; I’ll bring you out when the night falls . “

“Okay . ” Doctor Chen sneaked a look at the recorder . “I will not run away, so you can take that recorder with you . “

“You’re my guest; how can I leave you here alone?” Chen Ge exited the room and placed the recorder by the door . “If you have any demand, just tell the Red Specter . I’ll come back at 7 pm . “

“Then… thank you . ” Doctor Chen picked up the boxed lunch and started to eat . Watching Chen Ge disappear down the corridor, he shook his head with a bitter smile . “This feeling sure is familiar…”
