"He was terrified and quickly turned the car around and drove back, but he felt that the road was getting longer and longer, as if he would never be able to go back."
"Finally, when he was about to despair, his cell phone suddenly rang. His grandmother was very worried about his safety and asked why he hadn't returned home yet."
"He told me exactly what happened to him. The strange thing is that while he was talking to his grandmother on the phone, the car had already left the eastern suburbs without him noticing."
"After he hung up the phone, I suddenly realized that his grandmother had passed away in her hometown last year. He was busy with an important project at the time, so he didn't go back."
"It was his deceased grandmother who saved his life?" When Chen Ge heard the changes in the bus and the buildings on both sides of the road, he was sure that the patient might not be crazy and what he said should be the truth.
"Rather than saying that his grandmother saved his life, it's better to say that the goodness in his subconscious saved him. From a psychological point of view, he felt guilty for not seeing his grandmother for the last time. This guilt kept him rational when he was mentally abnormal." Doctor Pei put his hands in the pockets of his white coat: "I used him as an example just because he was lucky. There are many unfortunate patients in this hospital. I said this just to tell you that there are many strange things in the eastern suburbs. Be careful when you go to investigate. I know it's not appropriate for me to say this as a doctor, but I still hope you can pay attention."
"Doctor Pei, do you have many patients like the driver here?" The more Chen Ge listened, the more he felt that he had come to the right place: "Can you tell me about their experiences?"
"If you listen to their stories too much, it will have an impact on your own ideology. In addition, this is the patient's privacy. Even if you are a policeman, I cannot disclose it casually." Doctor Pei rejected Chen Ge's request.
"It's okay. Thank you anyway." Chen Ge felt that Dr. Pei was a good person, at least he was a good psychologist among all the ones he had met.
After leaving the mental hospital, Chen Ge took a taxi back to New Century Park. He checked the time and found that it was just past nine o'clock.
"This is the time when the last bus of route 104 departs. How about we try our luck today?" When Chen Ge came back last night, he charged Fan Cong's electric bike. He was worried that when Fan Cong came to pick up the bike, it would be out of power and inconvenient for him to go back.
It’s just that Fan Cong might have something urgent to do and didn’t come during the day.
"Let's wait along the route of bus No. 104 tonight, no matter if we meet Hong Yuyi or the last bus. If it's too late to get to Dongjiao, we can sleep at Fan Cong's house." Chen Ge went over what he needed to do in his mind: "The deadline agreed by Hong Yuyi and I is getting closer and closer, this is the top priority. When I have time later, I will send Men Nan back to the third ward."
After checking his backpack, Chen Ge rode his electric scooter to the entrance of New Century Park and greeted the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was already used to Chen Ge going out late at night, and he never asked any extra questions. In fact, the relationship between the two was very good.
After Chen Ge's parents disappeared, Chen Ge lived in the horror house every day. At night, the only people left in the entire park were the gatekeeper and Chen Ge.
Sometimes the gatekeeper would ask Chen Ge for help when he encountered something he couldn't solve. When he was in a particularly good mood or in a particularly bad mood, the old man would get two bottles of wine and take Chen Ge to the cafeteria in the paradise in the middle of the night to secretly cook and have a midnight snack.
When Chen Ge was in the most difficult time, many people in this paradise helped him, so when the paradise encountered difficulties, he would stand up without hesitation.
"Xiao Chen, you are a boss after all. This electric car doesn't match your current status." The old man was holding a teacup. Even from a distance, Chen Ge could smell alcohol. The teacup was not filled with water.
"Let's talk about it later. I haven't passed the driving test yet. The people at the driving school have a prejudice against me and say that I drive too wildly."
"Then why don't you just change your habits? They are doing this for your own good. Safety comes first."
"I'm too lazy to change it. I'll hire a driver to drive for me in the future." Chen Ge rode his electric scooter out of New Century Park. After talking to the gatekeeper, he discovered a problem: "After I really get the Route 104 hearse back, I'm afraid I can only drive it in the suburbs. It's still inconvenient to go to the city. But I heard that the Line 4 subway in the city is haunted. I can go and see it when I have time in the future."
Riding an electric bike, Chen Ge rushed to the nearest bus stop for Route 104 and stood in the cold wind waiting for half an hour, but neither the Route 104 hearse nor the red raincoat appeared.
"Does it have to rain?"
Chen Ge was a little unwilling, so he drove along the No. 104 bus route towards the eastern suburbs.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Chen Ge entered the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang. He could clearly feel that this place was different from other places. Suddenly, there was no car on the road.
"Last time I came here, there were occasionally taxis running here. Could it be because of what happened to me before that taxis no longer come to East Suburb at night?" Chen Ge shook his head slightly. He felt that his power alone was not that great. It should be that something terrible happened in East Suburb again.
"If we haven't met, it means our destiny hasn't arrived yet. It's not my fault." Chen Ge would stop for a while every time he passed a station.
At first he was looking forward to the appearance of the hearse, but gradually he lost hope and rushed to Liwan Town in a depressed mood.
The road conditions were getting worse and worse. At 11:30 in the evening, Chen Ge suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He stretched out his hand, and fine raindrops fell on the center of his palm.
"It's raining?"
Chen Ge took out his cell phone and checked the weather forecast, which clearly said that there would be no rain in Jiujiang in the next few days.
"Raining is a good thing. The yin energy is heavy, so the chances of encountering ghosts are high. The red raincoat is also likely to appear."
Putting away his phone, Chen Ge looked around. Although he had been to East Suburbs several times, the surrounding buildings still felt unfamiliar to him.
The dim street lights emitted a faint light, but they were unable to dispel the darkness, and the atmosphere became inexplicably depressing.
"I'm still on the route of bus No. 104. Do you want to wait for it at the station?"
The changes around him were very similar to what Dr. Pei had described in the mental hospital. Chen Ge had a feeling that the hearse would most likely appear tonight.
"Xiao Gu said that the child in the red raincoat is on the Route 104 hearse. When the time comes, I just need to get on the bus and help her grab the child and let her confirm it."
Chen Ge had his own plan in mind. He just asked Hong Yuyi to confirm, but he did not say that he would give the child to Hong Yuyi. The agreement between him and Hong Yuyi was just to help her find the child. As for whether or not to return the child to her, and how to return it, that was another matter.
