Chapter 943: You Are My Eyes
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
“This mission is related to my parents’ disappearance, so there is no reason to give it up. According to the mission details, as long as I don’t open my eyes, everything will be fine.” Chen Ge put the black phone away. “I can only go alone. I can’t bring any Specters, spirits, or anything related to the Haunted House. Will the ghost fetus discover that I have broken the rules?”
But since that was the black phone’s request, Chen Ge had to follow it. He put on his jacket and found a secure rope in the drawer. He tied one end to himself and the other end to the white cat.
“Other people tie a rope to their pet because they are afraid that they might lose the pet; I’m tying the rope to the cat because I’m afraid I will go to the wrong place and the cat might fail to find . White Tiger, I’ve been so nice to you. This is finally your ti to shine.”
The white cat, which had been snuggling in comfort on the bed, looked at Chen Ge in alarm. Its ears were standing up, and its eyes moved between Chen Ge and the rope.
“Co, let’s go visit sowhere interesting.” Chen Ge was about to grab the white cat, but the cat sank its claws into the bed and refused to let go.
“Aren’t you cats nocturnal animals? What are you doing lazying all night in bed?
“If you don’t take this chance to exercise, you’ll get so overweight that you won’t be able to move!
“Don’t worry! I promise I won’t abandon you no matter what. See this rope? This will be the bond that keeps us together!”
...
“Sir, I’m going to the lightning equipnt factory opposite from Jiang Yuan Apartnts in Eastern Jiujiang.” Chen Ge sat in the back of the taxi while hugging the white cat. With his previous experience, he knew not to give the na of the dangerous location directly just in case the driver refused to drive him there.
“The place is quite secluded. Plus, why are you going to a factory at night?” The driver studied Chen Ge through the rearview mirror. It was not that he was being too suspicious, but a custor like Chen Ge was too unique. It was 1 am, and he wanted to go to Eastern Jiujiang while carrying a cat.
“My family owns that factory. Sothing happened, and I have to go check.”
“Hasn’t the factory closed down?” The suspicion increased.
“Yes, that’s why I’m going there. Do you think no one needs to care about it since it’s closed down?” There was annoyance in Chen Ge’s tone like he was not in a good mood.
“I hope you don’t mind being a busybody, but it’s not that safe in Eastern Jiujiang. Sothing just happened at the place that you wish to go several days ago.”
“What happened?”
“The residential area across from the factory, I believe it was a drunken husband who accidentally fell from the roof. The scary thing is that it was my colleague who drove him ho that night. In any case, the place is just strange.” The driver started the car.
“I don’t believe in all that.” Chen Ge chuckled evenly. “My parents always tell that with money, even ghosts will do your bidding. If you’re afraid of ghosts, it only ans you’re not rich enough.”
The driver was speechless. He stopped trying to persuade Chen Ge, and Chen Ge used this downti to do more investigation. Half an hour later, the taxi dropped Chen Ge off in Eastern Jiujiang. After paying the fare, Chen Ge hugged the white cat and headed straight for Jiang Yuan Apartnts. That definitely gave the driver quite a shock.
“The mission requires to be here before 2 am.” Chen Ge crossed the road and reached the gates to the residential area. Two apartnts stood before him. The surroundings were dark, and it looked isolated. Since moving away, this was Chen Ge’s first ti returning there. The place had changed so much from his mory. “Such a big residential area can’t afford a guard?”
The gate was half open, and the guardhouse next to it was sealed and locked. Walking in further, the path was littered with various pamphlets. Only two streetlights were on, and one was flickering nonstop. Chen Ge tilted his head up. There was no light coming from one of the apartnt building; it looked deserted. The other building had several lights on the ground floor, and there were clothes hanging on the clotheslines outside the building.
“There’s soone staying here, so there shouldn’t be a problem, but why are all the lights gathered at the ground floor?”
Both of the buildings at Jiang Yuan Apartnts fitted the requirent. For safety’s sake, Chen Ge chose the one with people. He hugged the white cat and approached the building. Various notices were stuck to the outside walls. There were so from the owners urging for paynt of rent, there were tenants complaining about the condition of the apartnt, and there were missing person reports and many other paraphernalia.
“The managent is a ss. Has the developer run off with the money?” Chen Ge entered the lobby. The stairs were on the left hand side, and on the right was the elevator. He pressed the button for the elevator, and he could not find the fourteenth floor on the control panel. After confirming that, Chen Ge entered the stairwell. He looked at the steps before him. “Each floor has twenty-six steps, and every thirteen steps, there is a landing for a turn. The height of each step is about...”
He repeated the movent several tis for his legs to get used to the climbing.
“The mission needs the building to have a basent and no fourteenth floor. I have to consider these two elents.” Chen Ge leaned on the banister and looked down. “There is a basent floor, but it should be deserted. All the doors are locked. I wonder what it’s for.”
Then he looked up the stairs. The layer overlapped upon layers, like a staircase going up to heaven.
“Only the ground floor and fourth floor have lights. They are not sound activated because they are still on even though it is now deadly quiet.” Chen Ge closed his eyes before opening them again. “Even with my eyes closed, I can sense the change in the light.”
Climbing all the way up with one’s eyes closed was difficult; it not only required bravery but also great determination.
“The Nightmare Missions are getting more and more difficult. Is it because I’m getting closer to the truth?”
Since he could not take any ghosts with him, Chen Ge could only make preparation from other perspective. He looked at the ti and took out a black cloth from his pocket. “The mission requests for to close my eyes but it didn’t say I can’t blindfold myself. This should lower the difficulty slightly.”
The black cloth would lower his eyes’ sensitivity to light, but even if he was blindfolded, Chen Ge would not sneakily open his eyes during the process because the scary things might crawl through the blindfold. Scratching the white cat’s head, Chen Ge placed it on his shoulder. “In a bit, you’ll be my eyes. Do not run away from . If anything particularly scary appears, do not remind unless the thing is hostile and wants to kill us. Then you can claw or bite , understood?”
With little ti left, Chen Ge did not care whether the white cat understood his order or not. He left it on his shoulder and took out his phone. There were still ten seconds to 2 am. He closed his eyes and then tied the black cloth around his eyes.
“Ti to begin.”
After closing his eyes, the darkness surrounded him. Chen Ge placed his hands on the wall and took his first step.
