Chapter 504: 504

“The first ending, Xiao Bu was taken away by the woman in the red raincoat and became her daughter; the second ending, Xiao Bu was turned into a sculpture, becoming the artist’s creation . These two were undoubtedly bad endings . ” There was a helplessness in Fan Chong’s voice . “The save reloaded, and Xiao Bu woke up again in her room . I controlled her to begin the game for the third time . “

Fan Chong was a gamer lover, and this game had a weird attraction to him . He was both afraid and curious about it . “Unlike before, I chose to turn to the East Street, which was comparatively older . The buildings on the side were gray, the walls were spotted, and the roads were complicated .

“The game was incredibly free . It was an open world where deadly traps were laid everywhere . As the player, you have no idea what kind of scary things you might run into or how you will die .

“After playing the game for some time, I realized a problem . In this game, humans are scarier than ghosts . Running into ghost might not mean absolute death, but running into a human definitely led to death . ” Fan Chong shared his thoughts .

“The game maker’s thoughts are rather narrow . Perhaps this is related to his personal experience . ” Chen Ge told Fan Chong to continue . “What happened to Xiao Bu on her third try?”

“I controlled Xiao Bu to wander the street . When she passed past an apartment building, a very thin man ran out from the stairs . He seemed to be in a hurry to leave the town . If this was any other game, this would have been a very normal NPC, but in this game, as long as the character was alive, there had to be something wrong with them .

“The person ran past Xiao Bu, and a window appeared . ‘Why would they need so many children? Damn, the police are coming . I knew I should not have accepted this case . ‘

“After the man left, two choices appeared on screen again—enter the stairs or continue moving past the building .

“Due to curiosity, I chose to enter the stairs . The apartment’s corridor was filled with rubbish, and the place looked old . I controlled Xiao Bu to get to the rooftop and realized that the door to the rooftop was open .

“There was a small garden on the rooftop, but all the vegetables and flowers were all dead . There were several large water tanks next to the garden . They were perhaps used by the tenants to pickle stuff, and each water tanks had a large boulder resting on top of them .

“Initially, I did not think too much of it . The rooftop was windy, so perhaps the boulders were used to stop the lids from flying away . However, when I passed the one of the tanks, there was another window on screen . ‘Xiao Bu heard the sound of a phone coming from inside the water tank . ‘

“I knew I had probably triggered some kind of event . I controlled Xiao Bu to find the tools to move the boulder away . ” Fan Chong’s expression became sad . “You have no idea what is inside the water tank . “

“Is it a boy?” Chen Ge’s expression also changed . This third story was exactly the phone spirit’s story! The poor boy that was stored inside the water tank at the rooftop, that was the phone spirit .

Fan Chong looked at Chen Ge with surprise and then nodded . “There was a boy whose body got twisted when he was shoved into the tank . The boy was hugging a phone .

“The face was green and purple, and his skin was greyish white . When Xiao Bu found him, he was already dead . I controlled Xiao Bu to remove the phone from the boy’s body . The call was from the boy’s mother . At the time, I accepted the call, and perhaps this action triggered some event . Footsteps came from the corridor, and the man who had run out the building earlier poked his head out from the door . The expression on his face was scary . He strangled Xiao Bu and shoved Xiao Bu into a water tank .

“Xiao Bu was shoved into the water tank—that was the third bad ending . ” Fan Chong did not want to continue anymore . He felt like this game was a torture and used the worst method to interrogate humanity .

After hearing Xiao Bu’s third ending, Chen Ge thought for a long time . He put the water in his hand away and told the man seriously, “Fan Chong, I think you should report this to the police . I’ll go with you . “

The boy whom Fan Chong had found in the water tank was the phone spirit . All the details matched perfectly . Chen Ge also noticed another thing . When the phone spirit’s murderer ran into Xiao Bu, he said one thing . Why would they need so many children?

This sentence revealed a very important detail . There was a darker secret behind the child kidnapping! The real culprit was probably the person who had turned the whole of Eastern Jiujiang into a ghost town!

The creep who killed the phone spirit should still be inside the jail . Looks like I need to travel to the police station today .

Chen Ge needed Captain Yan’s help if he wanted to meet the murderer .

A game is hiding so many cases; Eastern Jiujiang is much scarier than Western Jiujiang .

After comparing the two places, Chen Ge realized that all the scary scenarios at Western Jiujiang were limited to a particular location . This might have something to do with his parents . It was different for Eastern Jiujiang; all the scenarios were interconnected, and they kept expanding in the dark . It seemed that there was even a hidden force that was pushing it along . The final result was, in the day, Eastern Jiujiang looked normal, but at night, the line between man and ghost started to blur .

I just want to stably expand my Haunted House, but if I allow them to expand freely, it’ll eventually affect me . Chen Ge gave himself a reason to strike first . There are good and bad people, and it is the same with ghost . After the Haunted House upgraded to Maze of Terror, it can now house more Red Specters and baleful Specters . After dealing with all the bad ghosts, I can provide a place to stay for the good ghosts .

Chen Ge and Fan Chong fell into thought, but they were thinking different things . Several minutes later, Fan Chong opened his lips to say, “Boss Chen, I need some more time before reporting this to the police . “

“Why do you need more time? The game is hiding murders; this is very serious . ” Chen Ge was confused .

“Let me think about it . ” Fan Chong seemed to be hiding some more secrets, and it was probably due to this secret that he had gone to Chen Ge first and not the police . The sun fell on his body, but Fan Chong could not feel warm .

“Okay then, take your time, but give me an answer within three days . If it’s later, I fear something bad might happen . ” Chen Ge was really worried that Fan Chong was being targeted by something . After all, this game had recorded many cruel and realistic events .

“Okay . ” Fan Chong bit his finger . During his earlier visit, Chen Ge had noticed this habit about Fan Chong . He would bite his finger whenever he was nervous .
