Chapter 359: The Phone
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
Chen Ge had run into two ghost stories society’s mbers at Coffin Village. This ant that one last mber remained in Jiujiang to toy with the police. Initially, Chen Ge thought the cases were related to Coffin Village, but it looked like the society’s real target was him all along.
Zhang Ya and Xu Yin were both asleep, so the only Specter Chen Ge had left was the Lesser Red Specter Yan Danian, but technically speaking, Uncle Yan could only use support skills. The society realized my limit at Coffin Village. They now know that Zhang Ya is asleep; this situation is very bad for .
Chen Ge looked at the map on the table silently. The situation was bad for him, but it was worse for the ghost stories society. Wu Fei had been killed by the ghost inside the door, but the black phone did not show that he had died. This was probably due to the detail where the ghost appeared to be quite excited after she picked up the black robes that Wu Fei wore.
After so consideration, Chen Ge suspected that Wu Fei had hidden a part of his consciousness on a scapegoat and then placed that scapegoat sowhere else. The female ghost was so happy after she found the black robe, which ant that the robe was hiding sothing important. If it was a scapegoat then, falling into the hands of that female ghost would be a fate worse than death for Wu Fei.
The society’s plan at Coffin Village had failed completely, and they had lost a mber. There were two mbers left. One of them was under great investigation by the police, and the other had gotten into a fierce fight with Doctor Chen at Coffin Village. Chen Ge knew that the days of the ghost stories society were numbered, but he was afraid that they might do sothing drastic when cornered. After all, these were crazies; they would do anything.
“Five murders surrounding New Century Park, this isn’t an accident. You might be their next target.” Captain Yan put the map aside. “We’ve found the killer and will capture him in about three days. During this ti, you’d better not stay at the park at night.”
“Understood.” Chen Ge realized this was the real reason Captain Yan called him to the station—he wanted to protect him. Captain Yan asked Chen Ge so questions, and during that process, the captain kept releasing information on the cases consciously and subconsciously. Chen Ge rembered these details in his heart. Captain Yan allowed him to leave at 9 pm.
When he exited the station, Chen Ge took out his phone; there was no record of a call or ssage from Gao Ru Xue.
I’ve made her wait for so long, but she didn’t once call . Did sothing happen to her?
Chen Ge felt like the Gao Ru Xue on the phone had acted rather weird. He hopped into the taxi and rushed to Jiujiang dical University. Inside the cab, Chen Ge called Gao Ru Xue. Similar to before, there was no answer the first two tis, and it connected on the third ring. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“I’m at the old education block. Co quick, my roommates are getting more and more abnormal.” Gao Ru Xue’s voice sounded urgent like she was running to find a place to hide.
“If you’re running into any danger, I advise you call the police imdiately. The police will be able to do more for you than .” Chen Ge urged the driver to drive faster.
“My worry is my roommates are being possessed. Do you think the police will believe that? My two roommates are not who they were.” Gao Ru Xue seed to know many things, which was obvious from her tone.
“Put the police on speed dial and go sowhere crowded. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
After hanging up, Chen Ge grabbed the phone and started to think. Whenever I call Gao Ru Xue, it’ll be put through on the third ring. Also, on the phone, she was sowhere quiet. If she was in danger, why would she purposely go sowhere quiet?
Sitting inside the taxi, Chen Ge called Doctor Gao and He San.

At 9:30 pm, Gao Ru Xue looked at the self-study room that had beco increasingly deserted, and she called Chen Ge one more ti. “I’m sorry, but the number you’re calling is currently busy...”
This was the twenty-third ti that she had called Chen Ge, but every ti the line was busy. Did sothing happen to him?
Gao Ru Xue borrowed her friend’s phone to make the call, but there was still no answer, like the number was cursed.
“Last night, when the three shadows ca in, I called everyone, and only Chen Ge’s reply was different, but how co it has turned around completely today? Everyone else’s number is fine, but only his is busy. Who is he on the phone with?” Gao Ru Xue was spacing out holding the phone when soone patted her on her shoulder.
“Xiao Xue, let’s go. It’s ti to go back to the bedroom.” Liu Xianxian called Gao Ru Xue to co with her. She looked just like normal, be it her mannerisms or actions; even her tone and habits were perfect. However, this was the thing that scared Gao Ru Xue the most. She knew for a fact that this was not her roommate.
“You can go first. I still want to stay back to study.” Gao Ru Xue pocketed her phone and flipped through the book on the table.
“You look so distracted lately. You really have a new boyfriend, don’t you?” Liu Xianxian sidled up to Gao Ru Xue, a familiar action—even the joke was similar to how the girl would do it normally. Her best friend sat beside her, but when Liu Xianxian neared Gao Ru Xue, her body froze involuntarily.
“Then, go back to the bedroom when you’re done studying. I’ll go back first.” Liu Xianxian grabbed her book and left. When she disappeared from the room, Gao Ru Xue sighed in relief.
“I cannot stay at the bedroom tonight.” Gao Ru Xue took out her phone to call Doctor Gao. “Dad, are you ho tonight? I want to co ho for the night.”
“I’m still at the hospital. I’ll probably reach ho at 12. Why are you suddenly coming ho?”
“My roommates have been acting strange recently. I’ll tell you all about it when I reach ho.”
“Okay.” Gao Ru Xue grabbed her book and water bottle as she left the room. She saw Liu Xianxian and Ma Xin talking at the stairs. It looked like they were waiting for her. Avoiding them, Gao Ru Xue took the stairs at the other end of the corridor. She did not return to the bedroom but hailed a taxi to head ho.
This is weird, how co only Chen Ge’s number is unavailable? Gao Ru Xue took out her phone and called Chen Ge for the twenty-fourth ti.
“I’m sorry, but the number you’re calling is currently busy...”
