"Chen Ge?" Ol' Wei and Doctor Gao said in unison. Neither of them had expected to run into Chen Ge here.
"I'm here to see the old man from Ping An Apartments. Excuse me, where is Room 269?" Chen Ge spoke quickly. It was not the time to chat.
"Come with me, I'll take you there." Doctor Gao seemed to be very familiar with the place. He led Chen Ge down the corridor, and Ol' Wei followed. After double checking the number of the room, Chen Ge glanced into the room through the door's window. Two nurses and a doctor were standing beside the bed. They seemed to be communicating with the old man. The old man's condition was bad. He had his eyes closed, and his lips moved, but no one seemed to understand what he was saying.
Chen Ge knocked the door before entering. One of the nurses recognized him and whispered something to the doctor. The doctor nodded and signaled for the nurses to leave the room.
"Mr. Chen, I called you here today because of two things."
"How is the elder doing? Didn't he seem like he was recovering when I left last time?"
The doctor sighed softly and walked to stand beside Chen Ge. He kept his voice low to prevent the old man from hearing him. "We have tried our best. His physical condition was not good to begin with, and he suffered under the hands of the non-professional, trapped in his apartment for so many years. It is a miracle that he survived for so long. He held onto life because he wanted to find the killer that murdered his son."
Chen Ge looked at the old man lying in bed who could not even open his eyes, and his mind was blank.
"Life hasn't been fair to this old gentleman. His apartment is a haunted property, so it is hard for it to get sold. A few years ago, the government wanted to level the place to build a villa. They promised to give him compensation if he moved, but he refused no matter what. They tried all kinds of tactics, including cut off the electricity and water, but he refused to budge.
"Finally, when the workmen came to the door, the elder sat in the middle of the road with his wheelchair. He said that if the house got torn down, the clues to the murder would be gone, and the killer would never be caught.
"I cannot imagine how he managed to survive all these years. He's malnourished and is down with many different diseases, but he held on for five years until the case was solved."
At this point, even the doctor was overwhelmed with emotion. Since Chen Ge did not pick up the thread of conversation, he continued.
"We called you over because we want to respect his final wishes. This case is the only thing that kept him alive. You have fulfilled his wish, so he is thankful to you from the bottom of his heart." The doctor gave Chen Ge a phone number. "This is number for the public notary office. He split all of his assets, including that apartment, into four parts.
"One will be donated to missing children funds; one will be donated to Jiujiang's law enforcement; one is the reward for you for completing his dying wish; the last one is also for you, but the content stated is he wished you would take good care of his granddaughter. If it's okay with you, please contact the people from the public notary office as soon as possible."
"I have a question." Chen Ge finally spoke. "Why are we talking about his will when the person is still alive? You should try your best. Don't give up until the last moment."
The doctor wanted to say something, but Chen Ge stopped him. "Do you mind if I have a private moment with the elder?"
Chen Ge did not show greed from the sudden windfall—this was different from what the doctor expected. He told Chen Ge several words and walked away. The room door closed. Chen Ge sat on one side of the bed and placed Xiaoxiao on the old man's shoulder. There were sound of weeping in the room, but it was soft and unclear. Chen Ge held the old man's hand—it was skin and bone. Holding it, it felt like he was holding a dried branch buried in snow.
"Sir, Xiaoxiao is still here. You're her only family." Chen Ge did not know whether the old man could hear him or not. He saw the old man's mouth move as it made some incoherent noises like he was trying to say something.
He had many things that he wanted to tell Xiaoxiao—he probably did not want to leave just like that either. The door was pushed open lightly, and Doctor Gao walked into the room. He made a hand sign at Chen Ge and sat down on the other side of the bed. The long fingers massaged the old man's shoulders and neck, and the man slowly relaxed.
"Let's go out for now. We mustn't give him too much stimulus at a time like this. He should rest." Doctor Gao was similar to how he was when Chen Ge first met him—mature and kind, like he could handle everything.
Chen Ge looked at Xiaoxiao, who was leaning next to the old man's shoulder, and he shook his head. Yin Xiaoxiao was the first baleful Specter that he found when he got the black phone. She was very unique and not at all scary. After so long, Chen Ge had gotten used to her presence, treating her as part of his family. "I wish to stay to accompany them a little longer."
"Them?" Doctor Gao glanced at the old man and the rag doll in bed before patting Chen Ge on his shoulder. "It's okay to be sad, but don't forget to lift your head up to look at the sky."
"Why?"
"Because that is life." Doctor Gao walked out the room. "A few year ago, my wife got into a car accident. I also thought about ending my life then, but due to Xiao Xue, I understood something. Giving up on life means leaving the guilt of 'not doing enough' to those that really love you."
"Your wife?"
"Yes, the love of my life."
Doctor Gao walked out the door. After the door closed, Chen Ge sat beside the bed, thinking about what Doctor Gao said. His hand did not let go of the old man's hand. He looked at the rag doll and the old man.
Actually, the fact that there are ghosts in the world is not so bad. At least there's a chance to make up for regrets.
The old man's condition was worsening, but with Xiaoxiao's company, he slowly calmed before falling asleep. The black phone in his pocket vibrated. Chen Ge took it out several minutes later. He had received a new message. He clicked it open and realized that the affection level Xiaoxiao had for him had increased to Partners for Life.
Partners for life? Does that mean…
Chen Ge placed his finger under the old man's nose. He sat back down after feeling the old man's breath. He continued to look through the phone. After the increase in affection level, there was an additional sentence to Xiaoxiao's tab.
"Yin Xiaoxiao (Baleful Specter): Special Power—Soul Comfort.
"Soul Comfort: Can comfort other Specters and cleanse their soul."
After putting away the black phone, Chen Ge finally understood why the old man would be able to fall asleep easily whenever Xiaoxiao came to accompany him.
It was not only because Xiaoxiao was his granddaughter—it was also because Xiaoxiao had the power to calm and warm souls.

Releasing his grasp on the old man's hand, Chen Ge straightened out the bedsheet for him and walked out of the room. Doctor Gao and Ol' Wei were waiting outside. When they saw Chen Ge, they walked forward. "Is the old gentleman asleep?"
"Yes." Chen Ge looked at the two, and his gaze lingered longer on Doctor Gao. "Why are the two of you here?"
"It's still about that memory loss." Ol' Wei sounded frustrated. "Ever since our return from the village, I've been receiving therapy from Doctor Gao to try to bring the memory back."
"Doctor Gao is helping you with the memory loss?"
"He's the best psychiatrist at Jiujiang, and he's familiar with criminal psychology. We've worked with him several times already." Ol' Wei seemed familiar with Doctor Gao. "However, before this, I was bringing others to come see him. Who knew the day would come when I'm the one who needs treatment?"
Chen Ge's expression did not change. He was thinking about something else. The night before last at Xi Xia Hu, when Lee Zheng entered the surveillance room, he had also acted like he was familiar with Doctor Gao. The doctor's ability to mix well with the police should have been due to more than his personal charm—it probably had to do with the fact that he had helped the law enforcement with cases before.
"Ol' Wei's problem is more serious, so he needs medication during his sessions. Even though I have the right to prescribe, the normal drugs that I have wouldn't have much of an effect on Ol' Wei," Doctor Gao said before leaving with Ol' Wei.
Watching them walk away, Chen Ge leaned against the wall, and his gaze became complicated.
Just in the room earlier, he pushed open the 'door' after mentioning he loves his wife. Hopefully, I'm overthinking.
He sat at the door for about ten minutes before the doctor and nurses returned to check up on the old man. The old man's condition did not improve, but he looked much better, and he was quietly asleep. Chen Ge picked up Xiaoxiao and stood beside the bed.
"Mr. Chen, if you have time, please come visit the patient more often in the future. Whenever you arrive, the patient's condition stabilizes."
"No problem," Chen Ge promised.
"I thank you on the gentleman's behalf. Honestly, I've worked here for ten years already, and this is the first time that I've seen someone help a stranger to such an extent without the promise of inheritance." The doctor smiled at Chen Ge. "It's rare to find people like you in today's society."
Chen Ge walked out from the room with the doctor. Then he was reminded of something. "Doctor, did Western Jiujiang's New Century Park send over several patients a few days ago? I hear they were scared until they fainted inside a Haunted House?"
"Yes, that is true. Why are you asking about that?" The doctor was surprised.
"Which sickbay are they in? I wish to visit them."
"Okay." The doctor hesitated. "They are on the fourth floor. Our president is familiar with the director of the park, so he specially set up a room to place the visitors who fainted. After that, he even set up a special emergency care unit to respond to the accidents that might occur at that theme park."
The doctor led Chen Ge to the fourth floor, and he grumbled softly, "I don't understand these people. If they are so easily scared, why did they insist on visiting a Haunted House?"
"What if it's not that they're too cowardly but it's the Haunted House that's too scary?" Chen Ge smiled and did not elaborate.
When they reached the fourth floor, Chen Ge glanced at the surveillance camera. There was a camera in the corridor that would capture the whole corridor.
"It's room 437. Please don't enter the room. The few patients are still quite weak, and they need the rest." The doctor left after reminding Chen Ge. Chen Ge walked past the room. He did not dare look through the window for fear of scaring the patients inside.
There were videos from the Coffin Village scenario on the laptop in Room 3004. The only visitors who have visited that scenario are these few. Meaning, while they were hospitalized, someone came to steal the video footage from them.
Looking at the camera, Chen Ge called Lee Zheng.
"Chen Ge, why did you call?"
"Have you found the statue's owner?"
"The man that you pointed out for me is definitely suspicious." Lee Zheng was still thankful toward Chen Ge. After all, the man had given him a hint that restarted the progress of his investigation.
"Don't let him run away, but there's another favor that I need to ask of you." Chen Ge mentioned that he needed Lee Zheng to use his name to get the footage from a surveillance camera in a hospital. Of course, Chen Ge did that in a roundabout way. Lee Zheng denied it initially, but when he heard it was related to the murder, and thinking about Chen Ge's track record, he agreed.
With the accompaniment of a member of staff, they entered the security room. Chen Ge checked the footage for when Sister Mao's group was sent to the hospital. They arrived at the hospital around noon and were given rest until 3 to 4 pm when the visitors woke up one by one.
However, their mental state was still very unstable. The staff could not imagine what they had been through to be in a state like this. At 5 pm, the second batch of doctors arrived. The staff explained that this batch of doctors were there to help with psychological counseling.
Chen Ge nodded slightly. He kept his gaze on the video, his eyes following a man on screen. As he expected, that afternoon, Doctor Gao had been to the sickbay!
Exiting the security room, Chen Ge had a feeling that was hard to describe. Things shouldn't be that simple. I cannot come to any conclusions rashly. I should at least wait for the result to come from Inspector Lee first.
Reminded of that, Chen Ge called Inspector Lee again to ask about the blood result. Inspector Lee's answer surprised him. The technicians had found two samples on the nail. One of them came from a victim of the eye-gouging case, and the other was not available to the law enforcement, meaning that the other person had no crime record.
Chen Ge chatted with Inspector Lee for a few more minutes. He had Inspector Lee keep the blood samples and results before hanging up. When he left the hospital, it was already dark. Chen Ge bought some food from roadside stalls before calling a taxi to get back to New Century Park.
The park was already close. Xiao Gu and Xu Wan waited for him at the door with their make-up off.
"No accidents today, I hope." Chen Ge looked at the Haunted House and could not help but worry.
"We've paid back all the unused tickets, and since the park has encountered this issue before, the visitors are quite understanding." Xu Yin studied Chen Ge. "I'm actually more worried about you. You look like you need a good rest."
"I'm fine." Hearing that everything had been handled perfectly, Chen Ge sighed. However, this also made him realize a weakness to his Haunted House.
Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu could handle the one-star scenarios, but normal people could not handle three and two-star scenarios. Therefore, he was required to stay at the Haunted House when it was in operation.
Looks like my Haunted House needs a managerial-type ghost who can help me watch over the business when I'm not around.

Seeing how quiet Chen Ge was, Xu Wan thought that he was not feeling well, so she added as consolation, "You have been taking care of everything on your own, and you don't tell us anything. Don't forget, we're your employees, and we'll stick with you."
Xiao Gu also walked over to say, "Yes, boss. Even though I don't know much and haven't been to a good school or anything, if you need any help, I'll do it without any question."
"Why are you two suddenly becoming so sentimental?" Chen Ge recovered, and his expression softened. "The profits of our Haunted House are slowly rising, and our reputation is slowly growing beyond the confine of Jiujiang. Perhaps, in the near future, we will have foreigners among our visitors. The future is filled with hope, so just focus on your work, and there's no need to worry about anything else."
After letting Xu Wan and Xiao Gu go home, Chen Ge walked into the Haunted House. He walked around the underground scenarios. All the ghosts were where they should have been—there had been no incidents.
"Everyone is doing their job, but this is not a permanent solution." Chen Ge walked into Mu Yang High School. "To able to control all the ghosts inside the Haunted House, the Specter will have to be powerful. Zhang Ya and Xu Yin fit this criteria, but neither of them know anything about management. If they were given this post, war would surely happen."
Xu Yin had not really gotten out from his emotional turmoil. Even with Chen Ge's order, he would probably think that as long as the person did not die, everything else would be fine. With regards to Zhang Ya… even Chen Ge was afraid of that. If she was given the managerial job, it would be a miracle to see the visitors walk out from the Haunted House with their lives intact.
Stopping at the entrance to the sealed classroom, Chen Ge looked at the mannequins, and a suitable candidate appeared in his mind. "When I was doing the Trial Mission for Mu Yang High School, other than the students, there was a large older gentleman inside the sealed classroom. He was standing on the podium, and he even smiled at me.
"Before it was Mu Yang High School, the place was an orphanage. So, that old man should be Mu Yang High School's first principal. He gave so many children a home when he was alive and even used his money to build Mu Yang High School, so he should be a good man."
Chen Ge's eyes scanned the mannequins and the classroom, and they were all shaking. Chen Ge did not know what he had done wrong, but the occupants in the classroom looked like they had been grabbed by fear.
"The old principal is kind and is familiar with the twenty-four mannequins. Most importantly, he has managed a school before, so he should have plenty of managerial experience." Chen Ge held his chin. "Isn't this the type of talent I'm looking back? Looks like I will have to return to Mu Yang High School. No matter what, I have to hire that old principal."
There were probably other secrets surrounding that old man, but with Xu Yin and Yan Danian helping him, Chen Ge was not worried. He had a faded smile on his face, and he turned to look at the mannequins. "It won't be long before you all get a warm reunion with your principal."
Hearing that, the mannequins appeared to be even more scared.
Then, Chen Ge inspected Third Sick Hall and Coffin Village. When he entered, all the ghosts avoided him. After making sure that there were no problems, Chen Ge walked out from the underground parking lot. He looked at the wooden planks and thought, When I have time, I should set up a steel door—that way, the visitors won't be able to escape whenever they feel like it.
Returning to staff breakroom, Chen Ge placed Xiaoxiao on the bed. Xiaoxiao's power seemed to drain her a lot. Following the hospital visit, Xiaoxiao had not tried to communicate with Chen Ge—it was like she was just a normal doll.
Calming and cleansing souls. Xiaoxiao's power might be incredibly useful in the future. Chen Ge lay down beside Xiaoxiao, and after a while, the white cat jumped down from the table to squeeze between them. It seemed to realize how fragile Xiaoxiao was. It used its tail to curl around Xiaoxiao and allowed her to lean against its body.
When the white cat first arrived at my Haunted House, it was very feral. It's probably because of Xiaoxiao that the cat was tamed. Thinking of it that way, Xiaoxiao is quite amazing.
Before this, Chen Ge had only considered Xiaoxiao as a pillow or a lucky charm. If not for the rise in affection level, he would not have noticed Xiaoxiao's special power. Taking out the black phone, Chen Ge glanced at Xiaoxiao's profile page. Other than the special power, Xiaoxiao had nothing else.
In the future, when I go hunting with Xu Yin, I should ask him to leave some food left for Xiaoxiao and the Pen Spirit. Perhaps they might bring me more surprise.
Looking through the phone, Chen Ge realized that he had gathered enough screams for two more spin at the Wheel of Misfortune. Chen Ge was tempted to use both spins. Perhaps this was the gambler's mentality—the next round would be the lucky one.
Calm down, I mustn't rush ahead. If I gain two more Specters, my title will upgrade. Now I already run into ghosts everywhere I go. If I level up further, those things will probably actively seek me out.
Chen Ge put the phone away to remove the thought from his mind. Winning Zhang Ya's love letter was a three in one thousand chance. Then does that mean there's a ghost stronger and rarer than Zhang Ya in the wheel? Like one with one in one thousand odds?
Chen Ge realized that he was going down a dangerous path, and he quickly stopped himself. He stretched lazily. He had not slept in over twenty-four hours, and his body had reached its limit.
Glancing at the time, it was only 8 pm. He set an alarm for 11:55 pm and prepared to go to sleep.
Tonight, I need to pay the toilet another visit. Hopefully, everything will be fine.
…
The alarm rang, and Chen Ge woke up to a room of darkness. Night had fallen. Putting on his jacket, he walked to the toilet with the backpack.
Three more minutes.
Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder and held the hammer in his hands.
Time ticked by, and when midnight arrived, the drawing of a ghost appeared on the door. Blood curled around its body, and the eyes slowly opened. The one minute passed really fast. The ghost's last eye still did not open, but compared to before, the eye that was poked blind seemed to have healed slightly.
It's recovering?
The drawing slowly disappeared, and the toilet returned to normal.
The drawing was left behind by the ghost stories society's chairperson. The best solution that I can think of is to demolish the society and leave no prisoners.
Chen Ge returned to staff breakroom to prepare to go back to sleep, but as he scrolled through the black phone, he accidentally discovered a blood red mission amid his refreshed daily missions.
He stopped and stared at the phone for a long time.
A Nightmare daily mission has returned after so long. Is my luck finally changing?

The reward from Nightmare Missions would improve his physical conditions directly. The previous rewards from Nightmare Missions included the Mortician's Make-up, Yin Yang Vision, and the Dollmaker's Talent. Unfortunately, the three Nightmare Missions were technically part of the beginner's stage. After clearing them, the chance of getting a Nightmare Mission in the daily missions became randomized. Chen Ge would check the daily missions every night, and this was the first time that he had come across a Nightmare Mission since completing the first three.
The black phone said that Nightmare Missions are extremely rare, so I shouldn't missed out on it.
Standing in the corridor, Chen Ge looked at the mission detail.
"Nightmare Missing: They said, at the end of the tunnel, another you is buried.
"Warning! Nightmare missions are extremely dangerous. Please choose carefully!"
Before accepting the mission, the hint was just a single sentence. Chen Ge read it several times, but the meaning did not become clearer to him.
Tunnel? The first previous Nightmare Missions were conducted inside the Haunted House, but it feels like I'll need to go outside for this third mission.
The first three Nightmare Missions were technically arranged by the black phone, meaning that, starting from this mission, the real Nightmare Missions began.
I have the help of Xu Yin and many other employees. If the Nightmare Mission's difficulty is similar to before, then I have nothing to worry about.
That was correct, but reading the blood red words on his phone, Chen Ge could not help but worry. When he first got the black phone, the few Nightmare Missions had almost killed him, so one could not blame him for being careful.
After thinking about it, Chen Ge still chose to accept it. The reward of a Nightmare Mission was something that other missions could not give him. Ghost helpers were important, but Chen Ge knew that he had to improve his own physical condition too. After accepting the Nightmare Mission, the complete mission message appeared. Chen Ge only read few sentences before his expression started to change.
"Congratulation Specter's Favored, your luck is unbelievable!
"The game is called Tunnel. After crossing the tunnel, you'll see the secret that has been forgotten.
"Mission requirement: At 2:44 am, enter a tunnel that is at least forty-four meters long. Walk forty-four steps and call your own name forty-four times. After that, mission will be completed.
"Warning: This mission is unique. If you do not complete the mission within a certain time, the mission will never reappear.
"Warning: For the duration of this mission, you will not be allowed to take any ghosts or items away from the Castle of Nightmares, or else you'll never get the mission reward!"
Chen Ge's eyes focused on the last part of the message. I cannot take any ghosts and items with me? This I'll need to consider.
Without that last limitation, the mission would not have been that difficult for Chen Ge. Too caught up in the limitation of the mission, Chen Ge did not pay attention to how the black phone referred to his Haunted House. He thought about it and finally decided to give it a try.
With no risk, there's no reward. The reward of Nightmare Mission is too important. As I come into contact with more ghosts, my body temperature keeps decreasing; the granny at Coffin Village has reminded me of that. Perhaps I should be paying more attention to my body.
Nightmare Missions rarely came, and Chen Ge did not want to give it up.
Since I cannot bring any ghosts and items, I cannot count on neither Xu Yin and Yan Danian.
Chen Ge looked around, and only the white cat fit the mission requirement.
I have a feeling it won't be of much use, but at least it can accompany me.
After selecting the white cat, Chen Ge turned to look at his shadow.
Zhang Ya is still sleeping in my shadow. If the black phone counts her, then the mission will definitely know.
Chen Ge had no way to telling whether the black phone considered Zhang Ya as breaking the rules or not, but it was also because Zhang Ya was hibernating in his shadow that Chen Ge felt okay to accept this mission.
I need to give it a try; the reward is too important for me.
Chen Ge took out his phone to look for nearby tunnels on the internet. The Nightmare Mission would start at 2:44 am, so he had to find a tunnel that fit the criteria but was not far away.
Jiujiang has many tunnels but few that fit the requirements.
Chen Ge looked on the internet for a long time, and he discovered something very weird. Of the entire Jiujiang, there was only one tunnel that fit the requirement demanded by the black phone. It was the White Dragon Cave Tunnel on the eastern side of Jiujiang. The other tunnels were either too far away or too short.
The eastern side of Jiujiang…
Due to his childhood experience, Chen Ge did not like that part of Jiujiang, and his parents had warned him from going to that area alone when he was young.
White Dragon Cave Tunnel, that sounds familiar like I have heard of it from the news before.
Chen Ge did not look so good. He searched the tunnel online, and several news articles instantly appeared. Ever since construction for the tunnel began fifteen years ago, there had been endless accidents, and many of them had a mysterious or supernatural element. More than one driver said that when they passed by late at night, a woman would wave at them by the side of the road.
If they did not stop, the woman would chase after them. The woman would be slow, but the distance between them would close until the woman was running beside them. If they stopped, it was even worse. The woman would sit at the back, and the car would get into an accident inside the tunnel.
The waving woman was just one of the many urban legends about the place. Some drivers said that they would see a car cutting past them, and when they turned to look, the car would be driverless. When they exited the tunnel, the car would already have disappeared.
There were many similar incidents and many accidents, so the tunnel had been closed five years ago. Even so, that did not stop the legend from continuing. When people passed the tunnel at night, they could hear people crying for help, and some saw a woman standing inside the tunnel, waving at them, asking them to enter the tunnel.
Chen Ge read all the articles, be it news or stories. This place is more dangerous than I thought!
Holding the phone, Chen Ge started to hesitate. The reward would be beneficial for him, but equally, he would only be able to rely on himself to complete the mission.
The black phone has always been fair; the effort and reward are equal.
Chen Ge soon came to a decision. He grabbed the white cat that was hiding under the pillow and placed it on his shoulder.
"Tonight, we're going to somewhere exciting."

The white cat blinked several times at Chen Ge and allowed the man to carry it in his arms. It did not seem to understand what was really happening. This time, Chen Ge did not even bring his backpack. He left the Haunted House with just some spare change.
"When I was small, my parents refused to let me go to the eastern part of Jiujiang alone. Thinking back, there should be something very dangerous hiding there. My parents knew about their presence, so these things might know stuff about my parents as well.
"The people who know you best are not your friends but your enemies. Perhaps I can get more clues about my parents from these presences." Chen Ge looked at the hint on the black phone. "Walking through the tunnel will allow me to witness the secret that I have forgotten. This Nightmare Mission might be able to give me a critical hint."
Every Nightmare Mission was very important to Chen Ge, not only because Nightmare Missions could improve his physical body, but most importantly, the Nightmare Missions seemed to be related to his parents' disappearance. Chen Ge left New Century Park, carrying the cat. He waited by the roadside for a long time before a taxi stopped for him.
"Boss, bring me to White Dragon Cave Tunnel please." Chen Ge pulled the door open and climbed in.
"White Dragon Cave?" The driver turned to look at Chen Ge with a shocked expression. "Why are you going to that place so late at night?"
"I'm collaborating with a friend to shoot something there." Chen Ge placed the white cat on his legs and took out his phone. "Please go, I'm in a hurry."
"You need to reconsider this. That place is not safe. A few years ago, one of my colleagues ran into an accident there." The driver still did not start the car. Based on his tone, it sounded like he was unwilling to go there.
"What are you talking about? It's fine. Just drive me to somewhere close then. I'll walk there myself." Chen Ge did not want to push the driver. It was because he had considered this that he left early.
"Why are you so stubborn? It is not the first or second time that accidents have been reported at White Dragon Cave. Just look for it online and think this over." The driver finally moved the car forward. "When the tunnel was still operating, us taxi drivers didn't dare go to that place at night. We would rather take the long way. We were not trying to cheat the passengers; that place is simply too cursed."
Chen Ge thought the driver was quite a friendly man, so he started to chat with him. "Can you tell me more about what happened to your colleague? I'm more curious about that."
"The man was the stingy type, the one who would trick foreigners. On the day of his accident, after he dropped his passenger off, he took the White Dragon Cave tunnel because he wanted to save time. It was around 2:30 am then.
"At the time, he was still talking on the walkie-talkie. While he was chatting with us, there was suddenly a female voice coming from his end. We thought that he had just taken on a passenger, so we did not think much of it.
"But then we noticed that something was off. The man did not seem to realize that there was another person in his car and kept gloating about how much he had made that day from tricking his passengers. I was listening at the time. I used the walkie-talkie to remind him of this, but there was no reply for a very long time.
"The next day, when I reported to the company in the afternoon, we received the news that all of the drivers have to attend a safety class, and after some asking around, we realized that the man had died in a car accident inside that tunnel.
"At the time, his car had been the only one inside the tunnel, and his car was found to have no issues. However, weirdly enough, the accident happened. He was stuck inside the twisted driver's seat for a whole night, and in the end, they had to use a saw to cut his body out.
"According to investigation, the reason for his accident was fatigue, but the few of us who communicated with him knew very well that before his accident, he sounded very excited; he was not at all tired."
After hearing the driver's story, Chen Ge voiced his thought. "You mentioned all of you heard a female voice on the walkie-talkie, so technically speaking, that woman should be the murderer."
"That's right. Another person got into his car, but he did not realize it. If that is not cursed, what is?" The driver gripped the steering wheel. "I'm not trying to scare you; I'm giving you sincere advice. When you are close to the tunnel, if someone weird calls your name, do not get close to it."
The taxi moved slowly, and on the journey, Chen Ge chatted a lot with the driver. The buildings by the roadside became fewer, and the light disappeared. The place looked abandoned.
"Are we not there yet?" Chen Ge opened the map on his phone. It said that they were close to the destination.
"White Dragon Cave has been sealed for some years now, so we need to take a detour if we want to get there." The taxi continued to drive down the road. Ten minutes later, the driver slowed down.
"We're here?"
"No, look at that thing on the road, what is it?" The driver did not dare to stop, but he pointed ahead. With his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge saw something that looked like a man lying in the middle of the road about seventy meters in front of them.
"Is that a man?"
The driver moved the steering wheel, and when the taxi was about thirty meters away, the thing that lay in the middle of the road suddenly crawled away. It was fast, and it disappeared after charging into the bushes like it had never been there.
"What the hell was that‽" The driver was obviously spooked.
"I don't know." Chen Ge was not lying. The thing looked similar to a person and was wearing a tattered shirt, but the face was blurry.
"You still want to continue?" The driver was afraid. "Shall we just turn back?"
"How far is it from White Dragon Cave?" Chen Ge had never had a habit of forcing people. "If it's close, then I'll just walk there from here."
"You sure are brave." The driver cracked his frozen knuckles. He continued to drive for another few more minutes before parking the car before a junction. "See that road blocked by tree branches? Just keep walking down that road."
"Thank you." Chen Ge paid the fare and got out.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Not many cars will pass this place at night. After I leave, you'll probably need to spend a whole night here." The driver looked at the road ahead, and he subconsciously lowered his voice like he was afraid that he might wake something up.
"Don't worry." Chen Ge felt like the man was quite nice, so after exchanging numbers with the man, he hugged the white cat and left. Climbing over the branches, Chen Ge walked down the road alone. The surroundings were very quiet, like there was no living creature in the woods.
"Something is not right." Chen Ge completely ignored the resentment in the white cat's eyes and proceeded toward the end of the road.
There were residual dust and pebbles on the ground, and everywhere he turned, there were broken tree branches. The rusted safety rails by the road were twisted from the multiple car collisions. This road seemed to have seen many accidents in the past.
