Blood words appeared on the window. Chen Ge and Fan Cong both saw them.
But their reactions were completely different. Chen Ge frowned slightly, while Fan Cong, upon seeing the blood writing, finally broke. His legs gave out and he crumpled to the floor.
"Will I die?" If the Red Raincoat girl really was Xiao Bu, then she wasn't an ordinary Red Raincoat — she was a Red Raincoat who had pushed open a "door." Such a being should be able to sense Zhang Ya's presence.
"Even with Zhang Ya and Xu Yin, I could still die?" Chen Ge didn't reveal his trump cards to the Red Raincoat girl.
His real plan was to bring Men Nan, the Red Raincoat Ghost, and the Tunnel Female Ghost, assemble all five Red Raincoats, and then take on the three-and-a-half-star Liwan Ghost Town mission.
Hearing Chen Ge's voice through the phone, the Red Raincoat girl waved her sleeve again, and new words appeared on the window — He has already discovered you. Come to Liwan again and you will die.
"He?" Staring at that single blood character on the window, Chen Ge keenly picked up a piece of information: the mastermind behind the eastern suburbs might be a male — or at least, had been male when alive.
The blood writing lingered for a short while before vanishing. Chen Ge wanted to ask the Red Raincoat girl for more, but after several attempts he found that no matter what he asked, her answer was always the same.
Come to Liwan Town again and he would die.
Without a trace of emotion, the Red Raincoat girl seemed to be stating nothing more than a fact. She believed there was no other possibility.
Chen Ge tried every way he could to get something useful out of her, but unfortunately none of it worked.
A few minutes later, Fan Cong — still sitting on the floor — could endure it no longer. His arms had gone completely stiff and his mind was blank. As he shifted his body, his neck instinctively twisted backward.
The Red Raincoat girl seemed unwilling to be seen by more people. The moment Fan Cong's neck turned, she vanished from the room, disappearing to who knew where.
"Boss Chen, you saw something in my room?! I can't see a thing!" Fan Cong was thoroughly terrified. At first he'd thought Chen Ge might just be trying to scare him, but the moment blood writing started materializing on the window, he completely lost it.
"Stay inside and don't move. I'm coming over right now!"
"Okay, but — could you not hang up? I'm kind of scared."
Chen Ge didn't hear Fan Cong's last sentence. He sprinted all the way to the top floor in one breath. "Open the door, Fan Cong."
It took a long time before the door finally opened. Fan Cong was leaning against the wall, barely able to walk steadily.
"Boss Chen, what the hell was behind me just now! Give me a straight answer — you won't say anything, and I'm scaring myself even worse just imagining it!"
Fan Cong was a witness, and after a moment's thought Chen Ge decided not to hide it. "A very cute little girl was standing at your computer desk behind you. I suspect she's Xiao Bu from the game."
"Xiao Bu?" Fan Cong froze on the spot. "She came out of the game?!"
"Keep your voice down — your brother still has work tomorrow. Don't wake him up."
"What work? At a time like this? We're better off moving tomorrow." Fan Cong had been genuinely frightened tonight. When he got scared at the haunted house and passed out, his subconscious could comfort him by saying it was all fake. But this was his own home. From now on, every time he closed his eyes at night, he'd probably think about what had happened in this room.
