Chapter 590 The Second Way to Die



The heavy fog separated Chen Ge from the river bank. The boat slowly turned in place and gradually lost its direction.

"Chen Ge..."

Chen Ge frowned as he heard the familiar voice again. He tried his best to recall it, but he had no memory of the voice.

It sounded very kind and familiar, as if this voice had been with him for a long time.

"Could it be my parents? That's not right! How could I not be able to recognize my own parents' voices?"

In the thick fog, Chen Ge was a little dazed, and he bit the tip of his tongue hard.

"This doesn't seem like a two-star trial mission. I might have been ambushed." Chen Ge quickly calmed down. He knew that he had repeatedly disrupted the plans of the mastermind behind Dongjiao, and the other party must hate him to the core.

The shampoo bottle in the backpack was vibrating more obviously, and strands of black hair crawled out from the gap in the bottle mouth and wrapped up the bottle, looking very weird and creepy.

"Do you have anything to tell me?" In Chen Ge's opinion, Wenwen's sister was the victim, and she would not help the mastermind to deal with herself.

The black hair spread and tangled together, like a signpost, pointing a direction for Chen Ge.

"She is showing you the way. The body is over there." Lao Zhou said.

"The situation has changed. Don't rush over." Chen Ge would not move until he figured out the voice in the fog.

The fog was still getting thicker. Chen Ge took out his cell phone and took a look. There was no signal. He could not contact anyone on the shore, nor could he ask for help. He could only rely on himself at this moment.

"Lao Zhou, did you hear someone calling my name in the fog?" Chen Ge sat in the middle of the boat, listening to the voice in the fog, and slowly developed an indescribable sense of loneliness. It seemed that someone was telling him a reality: he had always been alone and would always be alone.

"No." Lao Zhou shook his head.

The tone of his voice was the same as usual, and his expression and movements had not changed much, but all this looked different in Chen Ge's eyes. He looked at Lao Zhou's face and felt a hint of gloom and indifference, as if Lao Zhou was plotting something bad and wanted to murder him.

"Chen Ge..." The shouts were like the closest people reminding him to stay away from those ghosts.

"It's right for ordinary people to stay away from ghosts, but my family's situation is special. Both my parents and I have different attitudes towards ghosts than ordinary people, especially in my current situation. I can't survive without the power of ghosts." Chen knew clearly in his heart: "I regard ghosts as friends, how can I think that my friends are dangerous? Besides, compared with people, ghosts are sometimes more friendly."

Looking at the water, Chen Ge's eyes were firm: "I don't know who you are, but you are too impatient. You want to sow discord between me and the ghosts, but you are wrong."

Although he was a little dazed, Chen Ge's attitude towards ghosts did not change. This was a concept he had established since childhood. With the help of his parents and the black phone, his understanding of ghosts was completely different from that of ordinary people.

"Your voice makes me feel familiar and kind, but what you asked me to do is harmful to me and has no benefit at all. You are the one who really wants to kill me. Stop playing these little tricks. Come out and let me see your true face."

The thick fog blocked the reservoir. The boat turned quietly, rising and falling with the waves. The memories in Chen Ge's mind gradually became blurred.

"Chen Ge..."

This shouting voice made Chen Ge feel familiar, and this was also the most terrifying part. He didn't know such a person at all. This voice did not exist in his memory at all. The familiarity had nothing to do with memory, as if it was imprinted in his body.

He had encountered a similar experience before. When he was doing the tunnel nightmare mission, after taking forty-four steps, a voice from deep in the tunnel called his name.

The same tone, the same timbre. Chen Ge clenched his fists and vaguely recalled something.

After hearing the voice, he saw an incredible scene. He realized that he had been killed when he was very young.

He would never forget the strange experience of witnessing his own death.

His thoughts gradually sank into his mind, and he began to recall uncontrollably what had happened.

"I once went deep into the tunnel when I was very young, and the person who killed me was standing behind me. He seemed to be very familiar with me."

Memories floated, and his body swayed with the boat. When Chen Ge broke free from that memory, he suddenly realized that there was no one else on the boat except himself.

The backpack, Lao Zhou, Xu Yin and Wenwen's sister were all gone, and I was the only one on the boat.

The fog enveloped everything. Chen Ge seemed to be abandoned by the world. An indescribable feeling of loneliness surged from the bottom of his heart.

The temperature continued to drop, and his exposed skin was covered with a layer of water stains. It felt very cold to the touch, very different from that of a living person.

"What's going on? The special abilities of unknown ghosts?" He sat in the boat, holding the oars. Even at this time, Chen Ge still did not give up and was ready to fight.

"Chen Ge..."

The voice came again, and this time Chen Ge heard it clearly. He found that the voice was getting closer and closer to him.

"It's a very strange feeling. I heard this voice in the tunnel. When I just got the black phone and did the first nightmare-level mission, I heard this voice in the mirror. When Dr. Gao destroyed the entire scene in the underground morgue and connected it to the bloody city outside, I also felt a sense of familiarity. Even the door of the haunted house bathroom sometimes gives me a familiar feeling, as if something behind the door is calling me." Chen Ge felt a headache as his brain was filled with all kinds of information: "Did I forget something? Is this related to the disappearance of my parents?"

"Chen Ge..."

The voice rang out again, just a few meters away from Chen Ge.

Taking a deep breath, he put the oar into the water, rowed the boat, and decided to go and take a look.

After paddling two or three meters forward, Chen Ge saw a vague shadow in the fog.

He is not tall, probably a child.

"Sister Wenwen's body?" He is still thinking about the mission of the black phone. It has become an instinct for him.

The boat continued to move forward, and as the distance shortened, the fog spread to both sides, and the outlines of the shadows became clearer.

That was not Sister Wenwen's body, but that of a little boy.

When he saw the boy's face, Chen Ge subconsciously tightened his grip on the oar. He felt a chill running up his spine.

This child was exactly him when he was a child, with familiar facial features and a friendly voice. The difference was that this child's neck was broken, and his head was almost hanging on his shoulders. His facial features were all deformed, and he had a kind of viciousness and resentment that Chen Ge had never seen before.

“Yes, this is my own voice.”

Chen Ge always felt that the voice was very kind and familiar. It was not until he saw the child in the fog that he suddenly woke up. The voice that had been calling him was his own voice.

"Why am I calling out my own name? Who is this guy? Why does he look exactly like me when I was a kid?"

Chen Ge's mind was about to explode. He pressed his temple hard and asked, "Did I forget something?"

In fact, Chen Ge began to doubt it ever since the door of the haunted house bathroom appeared.

Only someone who is completely desperate would push open the door, and there happens to be a door in the haunted house. Who pushed open that door?

Is it the parents or yourself?

When Chen Ge fell into self-doubt, the child in the mist raised his head and looked at Chen Ge on the boat.

The look in that child's eyes was hard to describe; it contained resentment, jealousy, and a hint of very complicated emotions.

This is a very lonely child. He has no way to communicate with anyone. His body is cold and ugly, his heart is twisted and filled with desire for destruction.

"Chen Ge, save me..."

A familiar voice came out of the child's mouth. He stared at Chen Ge, then his feet left the water and the figure of another person emerged behind him.

Judging from his physique, he should be an adult. He grabbed the shoulders of young Chen Ge, lifted the child high up, and then threw him into the reservoir.

When the adult figure left, Chen Ge vaguely heard his voice - he must be dead this time and will not come back.

Ripples appeared on the water surface, and the adult's figure disappeared. Chen Ge stared at the scene in front of him in a daze.

When doing the tunnel nightmare mission, Chen Ge also saw his younger self being killed by an adult. Now when doing the water ghost mission, he found that his younger self was killed by the same adult again.

"what is going on?"

He rowed the boat to the place where the child's body was dumped, looked underwater, his pupils shrank, and the scene before him was somewhat cruel.

The child, with his limbs twisted and his head hanging on his shoulders, sank quietly.

A face that looked similar to Chen Ge looked at Chen Ge across the water. His expression became more and more ferocious, and all his pain turned into hatred. It seemed that he was unwilling to sink to the bottom of the dark water. His mouth slowly opened and his twisted arms waved upwards.

The thin body began to float up, and the terrifying yet familiar face enlarged in Chen Ge's field of vision.

"Chen Ge..."

With his mind blank, Chen Ge suddenly had a thought: it was back.

The inability to control the body, or rather that special call, affected Chen Ge's thinking.

The child underwater stretched out his hands. No one knew what he had experienced in his life. His arms were longer than those of ordinary people, and it seemed that the bone joints were broken.

The pale and twisted arms floated towards the surface of the water, and the face was getting closer and closer to Chen Ge. The purple lips opened slightly, and he called Chen Ge's name underwater.

The surface of the water was like a mirror. On one side was the adult Chen Ge, and on the other side was the resentful Chen Ge who was killed when he was young.

Across the water, two completely different lives seem to be converging at this moment.

"Chen Ge, I am you..."

He couldn't hear any special emotion in the voice, and his body involuntarily leaned towards the water surface, as if he was looking at himself in the mirror.

The twisted arms stretched out of the water, and the pale fingers grabbed Chen Ge's face. The child's movements were very light, and Chen Ge didn't know whether he wanted to drag him underwater or just wanted to touch him.

"Who are you? Why do you keep calling my name?"

Chen Ge could feel a sense of familiarity from the other person. This was a connection that went beyond blood ties, as if the two were originally the same person.

"Who killed you? Who turned you into this?"

Chen Ge kept asking the questions in his mind, but the child underwater did not answer. His fingertips were getting closer and closer to Chen Ge's face. When they were about to touch Chen Ge, another hand was placed on Chen Ge's shoulder.

The five fingers are slender, and the bloodshot and cracks are like enchanting tattoos. The first impression of this hand is that it is very beautiful.

The fog around the boat suddenly disappeared, and an extremely cold and terrifying aura appeared from behind Chen Ge.

The blood-stained black hair slid across Chen Ge's body, piercing the dark water like steel needles.

It attacked indiscriminately, penetrating deep into the water, as if it was going to overturn the entire reservoir.

Chen Ge felt the hand on his shoulder getting stronger and stronger, and his body, which was leaning towards the water surface, was pulled back little by little.

A shrill scream was heard from underwater, and the child who looked like Chen Ge in his childhood turned into a black shadow and fled into the distance.

After it disappeared, Chen Ge also woke up. He seemed to have just been pulled out of the water. His whole body was soaked in cold sweat and he breathed in big gulps of fresh air.

When he opened his eyes again, the fog over the reservoir had dissipated. Chen Ge saw Bai Qiulin and Lao Zhou shivering and huddled behind Xu Yin. Xu Yin, who was always gloomy and silent, also looked a little unnatural.

"Was it Zhang Ya who showed up just now?" He touched his shoulder, and remembered a hand on his shoulder, with bloodshot and cracks on the pale skin. "Is her injury still not healed?"

The other three evil spirits on the boat did not dare to reply, as if the woman in Chen Ge's shadow was a taboo that could not be mentioned to them.

Standing up, Chen Ge looked in the direction where the child fled.

After using Yin Pupil, he found a person on the river bank, pushing an electric bike. The person was very alert, and when he noticed Chen Ge's gaze, he immediately rode away.

"Electric bike?" Chen Ge looked at the man's back, and another person's figure appeared in his mind: "He looks a bit like Huang Ling's husband."

Xiao Gu accidentally took the No. 104 bus and saved Huang Ling, but then Chen Ge discovered that the woman's husband was actually dead, and the person she was sleeping in bed with was someone else.

"Why is Huang Ling's husband here? Is he the mastermind behind Dongjiao? That's impossible." Chen Ge looked at the electric bike and remembered something.

When he and Captain Yan went to Mingyang Community to look for the body parts, some of the body parts had been taken away. At that time, he saw an electric car driving into Mingyang Community from upstairs (see the end of Chapter 513 for details).

"Is he also the one who stole the body parts late at night?" Chen Ge initially thought that Huang Ling's husband was just a small fry, but now it seems that his identity is not simple.

He didn't even bother to salvage the bodies, and sent messages to Captain Yan and Li Zheng, wanting to ask about the situation of Huang Ling and her husband.

While waiting for a reply, Chen Ge looked at the water alone, and couldn't help but recall what happened just now: "Last time we fought at the water plant, Shadow also turned into my childhood appearance. Is this his special ability, or is he really related to me when I was a child?"
