Chapter 1028. Little Bu, I Caught Him for You

Chen Ge still remembered the scene when he first obtained the Black Phone. In the few months since then, he and the Horror House had undergone earth-shaking changes, but the phone in his pocket remained exactly the same as before.

He swiped across the screen and stared blankly at the display: "What exactly is the truth?"

The mission prompt on the Black Phone told Chen Ge that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but in his heart he had absolutely no certainty.

Even missions as difficult as the Underworld Fetus or the psychic ghost school, the Black Phone had only labeled them as four-star trial missions. The word "trial" always sent a chill down his spine.

Chen Ge had been avoiding this question. He didn't dare think about it, and he didn't have the time or energy to dwell on it.

"I've lost some of my old memories, but my shadow probably hasn't forgotten. He was there with me and witnessed everything. The Underworld Fetus trial mission might be a turning point — if I can communicate with the Underworld Fetus, I can find out everything that happened before from him. I can learn what I did, and where my parents really went."

Every question could potentially be answered at this moment, on one condition: catch the Underworld Fetus and make him talk.

"A game of hide-and-seek between life and death — a game between me and my own shadow. Maybe we played it like this a long, long time ago."

Chen Ge placed the shedding toy dog into his backpack alongside the wooden toy from before.

Ten minutes later, Chen Ge returned to the Horror House. He was about to enter the underground set when he suddenly saw Old Zhou with a wide grin on his face, arm draped over Wu Jinping's shoulder. Nearby, two students had been scared into unconsciousness.

"What are you guys chatting about? You look so happy."

"Boss, this must be our new employee? What a natural talent!" Old Zhou burst out laughing. He seemed to get along remarkably well with Wu Jinping.

"A natural talent?" Chen Ge looked at Wu Jinping with interest, wondering whether Wu Jinping had awakened some special ability under duress.

"Stop making fun of me," Wu Jinping said with a pained expression. "I don't know why those two kids suddenly got so scared of me. I was trying to help them, but I accidentally drove them right into the old employees' encirclement."

"Don't be modest. Actors who can scare tourists into passing out on their first day on the job — I've rarely seen that." Chen Ge patted Wu Jinping on the shoulder. "Keep it up. If there's anything you don't understand, ask Old Zhou."

Seeing how well the employees got along, Chen Ge felt relieved.

"Let him bond with everyone first. That way, when Wu Jinping eventually learns Old Zhou and the others' true identities, it shouldn't be too much of a shock."

He opened the iron door leading underground and arrived in the morgue below, where he found Zhang Yi and Doctor Wei.

"Is Zhang Yi's ability useful? Have those three tourists woken up?"

"I can only erase their memories for now. Perhaps one night in the future they'll wake from a dream and recall fragments." Zhang Yi was still extremely weak, looking half-dead as usual.

"That's enough. Your ability is truly terrifying." Chen Ge took out the Red High Heels. "Focus on recovering. Your ability will come in handy in the future."

After transporting the three tourists and the two medical students out of the Horror House, Chen Ge returned to the employee break room. He drew the curtains, locked the door, and summoned Jiang Long and E Chou.

It took an entire afternoon, but Chen Ge extracted every piece of information Jiang Long knew.
