The phone was turned on, and Xiao Gu could hear Chen Ge's words clearly. When he heard Chen Ge say, "I only have one request of you, to release my employees," his nose felt sore and he clenched his hands tightly together.
He felt that he was a very unlucky person and would cause trouble to others wherever he went. This was the case in Fanghuayuan Community and it was still the same after he became an employee of the haunted house.
But even so, his boss has never disliked him, and even said such words at the critical moment.
The rain was heavy, but Xiao Gu's heart was warm. He felt that he had a home to rely on in Jiujiang.
The woman in the raincoat also heard what Chen Ge said. She stood in the heavy rain, her body slowly returning to normal, and the rain slid down her bright red raincoat.
After a long time, the woman in the raincoat turned her head to the phone and put her mouth close to it: "Have you seen my child?"
"I will let you see your child within a week." Chen Ge agreed immediately.
The woman in the raincoat didn't say anything else. She slowly lowered her head, holding Xiao Gu's clothes and left the East Suburb Water Plant, apparently heading for the next stop.
Watching the red raincoat disappear, Xiao Gu seemed to be exhausted and sat in the mud.
"Boss, she's gone! She's saved!" Having escaped death, Xiao Gu's voice was a little excited.
"Don't run around. Find a place to shelter from the rain. I'll pick you up later. Also, make sure your phone has enough battery. Set my number to one-touch dialing."
"OK."
"I'll hang up first. I still have to do what I promised her."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Gu obediently set Chen Ge's number to one-touch dialing.
After everything was done, he put away his phone and walked towards another unlucky passenger, Huang Ling.
"It's okay." He reached out to Huang Ling. Huang Ling, who was so frightened, took a long time to hold Xiao Gu's hand and got up from the ground.
"What was that just now?" Huang Ling didn't know where to start. Her eyes were full of fear. She couldn't accept it at all. Just two hours ago, she was still enduring the difficulties faced by customers in the company, but two hours later, she was sitting on a bus full of dead people and arrived in the suburbs.
"I can't explain it clearly. My boss will be here later. Let him tell you. He knows a lot of things." Xiao Gu led Huang Ling to the outside of the water plant and stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain.
Huang Ling's clothes were soaked by the heavy rain and her makeup was smudged, but she didn't care about it at all. She took out her mobile phone and kept dialing a certain number, but no one answered.
"Are you calling your husband?" Xiao Gu heard the conversation between Huang Ling and her husband on the bus. The two had an argument, and Huang Ling seemed to have thought about divorce.
Huang Ling nodded. She felt inexplicably scared in her heart. This fear was completely different from the one she had just felt. It was more unsettling and painful.
"Why not? What is he doing? Answer the phone."
Xiao Gu looked at Huang Ling who was frantically calling her husband and didn't say anything.
Just now on bus No. 104, Huang Ling's husband called her frantically, asking where she was, and finally shouted that the bus was full of ghosts.
Her husband was no longer in the car, so how did she know that Huang Ling got on a hearse? And how did she know that the car was full of ghosts?
Huang Ling probably figured out the answer to this question, which is why she is calling her husband frantically now.
Xiao Gu silently looked at Huang Ling, a mature woman who was much older than him, who was leaning against the wall with her back, almost collapsing.
There was thunder and lightning, and rain dripped down her chin.
…
After hanging up the phone with Xiao Gu, Chen Ge stood in the puppet workshop and took out a broken mobile phone that could be used to insert a large card and had long been eliminated from the market.
"Tongtong, was the ghost on the other end of the phone just now the one in red?"
When Chen Ge learned that Xiao Gu had an accident, he immediately summoned the mobile phone ghost and kept an eye on Xiao Gu.
The skinny mobile phone ghost reacted strangely. He did not answer Chen Ge's question and picked up the phone that was about to be eliminated.
A few seconds later, Chen Ge received a text message from the mobile ghost, which contained only three words.
"Don't go over there."
"She is dangerous? Is it Red Clothes?" Chen Ge felt that the mobile phone ghost knew nothing about the power of his haunted house, so he dissuaded him: "It's okay even if it's Red Clothes, after all, there is only one of her."
The cell phone ghost shook his head and sent another message.
"I've seen her. She died in Liwan Town. It's very dangerous there."
Looking at the text messages from the mobile phone ghost, Chen Ge remembered that the mobile phone ghost's body was also found on the rooftop of an apartment building in Liwan Town. This kid seemed to know Liwan Town very well.
"Are the ghosts that died in Liwan Town different from those in other places?" Chen Ge was very curious about Liwan Town. The commission Dr. Gao left before committing suicide was to close the out-of-control door in Liwan Town. "Could it be that the ghosts became different because the door was completely out of control?"
The cell phone ghost shook his head again, as if he didn’t know how to describe it.
Chen Ge looked at the mobile phone ghost and felt a little uneasy: "Liwan Town is in the eastern suburbs, and the memory I saw in the tunnel also happened in the eastern suburbs."
"I was a little kid and someone tried to kill me but failed."
"The game that Fan Cong described during the day seemed to be set in the eastern suburbs, and the protagonist of the game was a child."
"Wait, I think I found some commonality."
"It seems that the child of the woman in the raincoat was lost in the eastern suburbs. The mobile phone ghost was originally abducted to the eastern suburbs. Even in the last photo that Doctor Gao showed me, my parents were talking to a little girl in red in the eastern suburbs."
"Why do I feel like everyone associated with East Suburbs is a child?"
The phone vibrated slightly, and the phone ghost sent another text message to Chen Ge: "I can't explain it clearly, but you can take me with you, and I will lead the way."
"Okay." Chen Ge put away the mobile ghost, locked the door of the workshop, and returned to the haunted house in the rain. He packed up briefly, put on his bag, and hurried away in his raincoat.
Standing at the intersection, Chen Ge waited for fifteen minutes before hailing a taxi.
Waiting for the bus in the rain, even with a raincoat, his body was mostly wet, which made him more eager to equip his haunted house with a special one.
"Let's take Xiao Gu back first. There's no rush to investigate the matter in Dongjiao."
Sitting in a taxi, Chen Ge took out his mobile phone and texted with the mobile ghost. They followed the route of the No. 104 bus and followed it stop by stop.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. After entering the suburbs, the lights on both sides of the road gradually decreased, as if a black curtain covered everything.
"The tranquility of the eastern suburbs is definitely just an illusion deliberately created by something. The situation here may be very serious." Chen Ge had never seen a door out of control before. He looked out the window expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
