The rain was getting heavier, blurring the vision. Chen Ge sat next to the cell phone ghost and watched everything silently.
The cell phone ghost and his mother are separated by a street. These dozen meters are the distance between the two worlds. They can be seen, but cannot be touched.
"Do you want me to take you there?"
Chen Ge asked in a low voice, but the mobile phone ghost shook his head desperately after hearing it. He wiped the tears from his face with his hands, unable to control them at all.
After a long time, he sent a message to Chen Ge.
"Call the police, don't let her wait any longer."
Through the window, the cell phone ghost looked at the woman standing in the heavy rain, placed his hand lightly on the glass, seemed to say something, and then slowly disappeared.
I don't know if the woman on the other side of the street heard his voice. She seemed to glance towards the cafe unconsciously, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see.
Chen Ge walked out of the cafe only after the woman left. He looked at the city shrouded in heavy rain with a complicated expression.
He experienced a lot during this period. First, his little grandfather became seriously ill, and then he met the cell phone ghost and his mother.
Some people are no longer with us, but those who are still alive still care about them. Perhaps it is this care that gives them hope.
With his back against the wall, Chen Ge didn't care about his clothes getting wet. He was thinking about a question that had troubled him for a long time: "What exactly is a ghost?"
Since obtaining the black phone, he has come into contact with all kinds of ghosts, but the more he comes into contact with, the more confused he becomes.
After taking a final look at the closed Tongtong Flower Shop, Chen Ge took out his cell phone and went into the back alley.
"Captain Yan, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor. Seven years ago, a child named Tongtong disappeared in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang. The police believe that he was abducted by human traffickers. Can you find the case file for this case?"
Captain Yan could tell Chen Ge's tone was a little strange. He thought for a while before saying, "The case may be handled by the Dongjiao Police Station. I'll call them later."
"Thank you very much."
"Are you okay? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your voice?"
"Don't worry."
Ten minutes later, Captain Yan called Chen Ge again and said, "We have found the case file, but we cannot identify the suspect. We only know that the car that abducted Tongtong had entered Liwan Town in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang. However, the police officers who handled the case did not find Tongtong in Liwan Town. They suspect that Tongtong has been transferred to another place by the suspect."
"Did they go to the Pumin Apartments on East Street when they searched?"
"Puming Apartment? Let me ask." Captain Yan sent a message to the Dongjiao Police Station. After a while, he replied to Chen Ge: "The police in charge of the case searched every house, but they didn't see the child, nor did they hear any crying."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Ge stood in the back alley, his body submerged in shadows.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Captain Yan was a little worried.
"It's nothing serious, just that one of my employees was wronged."
"Employee?" Captain Yan could hear the coldness in Chen Ge's voice, which he had never heard before: "Chen Ge, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive!"
"I won't act impulsively. I'm just seeking justice." After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge communicated with the mobile ghost and found out what happened a few years ago.
The human trafficker lived in Puming Apartment. When he discovered that the police had entered Liwan Town, he was completely panicked.
The child was crying and making noises, and he was afraid of being discovered, so he killed Tongtong to cover up his crime, and then stuffed the body and the cell phone into the water tank on the roof.
…
At 11:30 in the evening, the police from the Dongjiao Police Station received a call reporting that someone had discovered a child trafficker who had abducted a child a few years ago. The caller reconstructed the entire incident for them, including child trafficking, murder, hiding corpses, etc.
The police immediately rushed out, and as soon as they walked out of the police station gate, they saw a man fainted in the middle of the road.
After comparing the information, they were shocked to find that this man was the human trafficker from many years ago.
After seeing the police dragging the man away, Chen Ge took a taxi and left.
The mobile phone ghost's wish has been fulfilled. His favorability towards Chen Ge has greatly increased, and Tongtong's name has also appeared on the employee page of the black mobile phone.
However, Chen Ge was not happy. He suggested several times to tell Tongtong's mother some information, but was rejected by the mobile phone ghost. He didn't want to disturb the woman's life anymore.
There was no conversation that night, and Chen Ge had a rare good night's rest until the next morning when the sun shone into the house.
Stretching, Chen Ge looked out the window.
"The sky is finally clear."
At 8:15, Xu Wan came to the haunted house with breakfast. She saw Chen Ge, who had just gotten up and had messy hair, and shook her head gently: "Boss, I brought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot."
"Okay." Chen Ge simply washed up, picked up the breakfast that Xu Wan brought and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
At 8:25, Gu Feiyu rushed in from the entrance of the theme park. He wore the work ID given to him by Uncle Xu around his neck. He greeted everyone he met enthusiastically, and it was obvious that he liked this job very much.
"You two should go to the dressing room and get ready. The tourists are about to come in."
Chen Ge personally put makeup on them and sent them into the scene.
Fifteen minutes before the park opened, Mr. Luo and Uncle Xu came over together, accompanied by several staff members.
"Boss Luo, why are you here?" Chen Ge has done a lot of big things recently and caused a lot of trouble for Boss Luo.
"I'm here to bring you some goodies." Director Luo pointed to the staff behind him, who were holding several boxes in their hands. "Do you still remember the positioning bracelet and mini-app I told you about last time?"
Chen Ge nodded and looked at the box in the staff's hand: "Is the program developed?"
"There are no problems with the internal testing, so it can be officially put into use." Director Luo asked the staff to bring a table and open the boxes with bracelets inside. "These 1,000 bracelets are distributed for free to build a framework for the mini program. Visitors will need to buy subsequent bracelets themselves. There are QR codes on the front of the box and on the sign next to it. You can scan them to download the mini program and get a discount coupon for the park. You can enjoy a 10% discount next time you visit."
Several staff members were busy at the entrance of the haunted house, and people were coming and going in the lounge. It seemed that some staff members were installing something.
"I've replaced a large screen for you, which can display everyone's clearance progress and scene introduction. In addition, the design plan for the lounge has been finalized, and construction can begin within three days at the latest." Director Luo felt that he was playing a big game: "I plan to dismantle the carousel and several surrounding entertainment facilities. First, it can be used to cooperate with your haunted house and facilitate your expansion of the ground scene in the future. Second, we are far behind the virtual future park in terms of technology. I plan to purchase a batch of new entertainment facilities to try to narrow this gap."
