Chapter 404: I'm Sorry (4000 Words)
The mobile phone ghost looked at Chen Ge timidly, holding the old-fashioned mobile phone around his neck with both hands, and the green screen showed that there were 99 missed calls, and the note for each missed call was - Mom.
Chen Ge felt that the ghost of the mobile phone was not like a resentful spirit, and he didn't feel any hatred and malice from him, just like a child who didn't understand anything.
"You want me to help you find your mother?"
The mobile phone ghost nodded, he raised his thin arm and gestured at Chen Ge.
After a long time, he found that Chen Ge still didn't understand, so he suddenly picked up the mobile phone hanging around his neck and edited a message to send to Chen Ge.
The phone vibrated slightly, Chen Ge slid the screen of his phone, and clicked on the message sent to him by the ghost of the phone.
"My mom has been looking for me, I want you to use my mobile phone to send a message to my mom, my mobile phone is in Liwan Town, the eastern suburbs."
"Your wish is to send a message to your mother?" Chen Ge nodded, each ghost has its own story, and it is precisely because they are too unwilling to let go of it in their lives, so they will stay in the world.
Putting away the ghost of the mobile phone, Chen Ge was ready to make his wish come true today: "It is a waste to put such a special ghost in the hands of the Strange Talk Association, only I can give full play to his ability." ”
The mobile phone ghost is of great use to Chen Ge's haunted house, as long as the mobile phone ghost helps him wholeheartedly, there will be fewer and fewer tourists who dare to use the mobile phone to take photos and videos in his haunted house in the future.
After taking a cold shower, Chen Ge changed into a set of clean clothes, and then simply cleaned the haunted house.
At 9 a.m., the park opened and the sky was a little overcast, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the visitors, and the number of visitors today has increased a lot compared to the previous days.
The one-star scene is no longer attractive to regular customers, and most tourists start to visit the two-star scene, and the top group of tourists start to challenge the three-star scene.
In one morning, there were already six or seven waves of tourists visiting the two scenes of the Living Coffin Village and the Third Ward, and the tourists' ability to adapt to the new scene was stronger than Chen Ge thought.
Everyone has a threshold of fear in their hearts, and as they continue to experience horror scenes, this threshold in the hearts of tourists is constantly improving, which also makes Chen Ge feel the pressure.
"The reward for the trial mission in the third ward is those ten psychopaths, if you really want to put them in the third ward, you don't need other arrangements to directly scare the visitors to tears, the key problem now is that I can't guarantee that the souls of those mentally ill people will obey my orders 100%, they are crazy."
In order to ensure the safety of tourists, Chen Ge did not use the case list of the third ward.
"There is no better way for the time being, and when someone is about to clear the customs, I can only let Lao Zhou and the three of them go in to send warmth to the tourists."
Chen Ge's concern for tourists is reflected in all aspects, he is trying to scare tourists, but also worried about the safety of tourists: "It's not easy to do business these days. ”
Sitting in the haunted house, Chen Ge leaned aside to rest after sending the visitors into the underground scene.
His current schedule is almost the same as Zhang Ya's, day and night are reversed, he is alive at night, and he squeezes time to sleep during the day.
Taking out his mobile phone, Chen Ge searched the Internet for information about Liwan Town, which was just a very ordinary town.
"The mobile phone ghost is in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang, and the place where he first appeared should be in the eastern suburbs, but why did he fall into the hands of the Strange Talk Association? The Strange Talk Association is also connected to the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang? ”
Chen Ge shook his head, feeling that it was unlikely.
After a busy day, the haunted house closed at about six o'clock in the evening.
After Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu got off work, Chen Ge called Li Zheng first and asked how to cooperate with them.
Li Zheng's answer to him was not to act rashly for the time being, and to wait for their notice.
Since the police said so, Chen Ge naturally wouldn't go over to cause trouble.
He entered the staff lounge, put the skull crusher hammer, repeater and other things into his backpack, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he closed the door of the haunted house and took a taxi to the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang again.
Unlike last night, Chen Ge is now full of confidence, not only is he not afraid, but he also has a faint trace of expectation in his heart.
Liwan Town is not too remote, and the taxi only drove for more than 30 minutes to deliver Chen Ge.
When he got out of the car, there was a light rain in the sky, Chen Ge did not bring an umbrella, paid for the car, and hurriedly hid in a mobile phone business hall next to him.
"Sir, may I ask how I can help you?" The waiter saw that Chen Ge was dressed more differently, and asked cautiously.
"It's okay, you're busy." Chen Ge took out the comic book and found a corner where no one was there to communicate with the mobile phone ghost.
After a while, his phone received a new message from a mobile phone ghost.
"The roof of Puming Apartment on East Street in Liwan Town? Is this the address? Chen Ge looked at the information on his mobile phone, and found the waiter just now: "Please ask, how to get to Puming Apartment?" ”
"Walk straight down this street, the most dilapidated houses." The waiter was very good, thinking that Chen Ge was renting a house from outside, and specially explained a few words: "The East Street side is a bit messy, and the hygiene is also poor, you had better live on the West Street, and the rent is not much expensive." ”
"Thank you." Chen Ge carried his bag and braved the rain to go to Puming's apartment, he trotted all the way, and it took more than ten minutes to finally find the apartment building that the mobile phone ghost said, this building is estimated to be more than 30 years old, and it looks very dilapidated.
"Is this it?"
Chen Ge entered the apartment building, where there were almost no tenants in sight, and thick dust fell on many doors.
He climbed to the top floor in one go, and the door to the top was locked.
The lock is covered in rust, and the keyhole is rusted.
"It looks like no one has been here in a long time." Chen Ge took out the skull crusher from his backpack, smashed the lock off, and pushed the door open.
There is a pile of garbage on the top of the apartment building, and rows of flower pots against the wall, but the plants inside have long since died.
"The ghost phone dropped here?"
Chen Ge searched around, and finally set his eyes on a few water tanks.
The tanks appear to have been used by the tenants of the building to pickle pickles, and each tank is sealed with stones pressed against it.
Chen Ge slowly approached with a skull crusher hammer in his hand, and he moved the stones from the water tank and opened the first water tank.
It was empty and there was nothing.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ge moved the stones on the second water tank, and as soon as he moved away, a strange smell wafted out of the water tank.
Lifting the lid, Chen Ge's eyelids twitched slightly when he looked inside.
In the tank was a scrawny, dead-out child with a face that resembled a cell phone ghost and an old-fashioned cell phone hanging from his chest.
Chen Ge stood by and watched silently for a while, until his hair was wet with rain: "I found you." ”
He took out his mobile phone and was about to call the police, when the mobile phone ghost suddenly sent him a message.
"Before I tell the police, I want to use my phone and send a message to my mom, she must be worried."
"Do you have to use your phone?" Chen Ge didn't know why the mobile phone ghost didn't let the police, but he respected the mobile phone ghost's thoughts: "Okay." ”
Not wanting to disrupt the scene, he took a few pictures of the water tank and took out the phone from the boy's body.
After so many years, the phone has long been unable to turn on normally.
He closed the lid of the water tank again, ready to come back after fulfilling the last wish of the mobile phone ghost.
Putting away the skull crusher hammer, Chen Ge hurriedly went downstairs and ran back to the mobile phone business hall where he had sheltered from the rain before.
The rain was slowly getting heavier, and his coat was already soaked.
"Sir, is there anything you need?" The waiter had just met Chen Ge, but he didn't expect the other party to come back so soon.
"Can you charge your phone here? This model? If the phone doesn't work, then take out the card inside. ”
Chen Ge handed the mobile phone to the clerk, and the man was a little embarrassed after reading it, and rummaged through the counter for a long time but did not find a working charger: "Sir, your mobile phone looks like it has been around for some years." ”
"I haven't used this phone for many years, it's okay if it really can't be turned on, you take out the card, I need the phone number inside." Chen Ge understood the idea of a ghost on his mobile phone, his mother had been looking for him, so he wanted to use his phone to send a message back to his mother.
"Haven't used it in years?" The waiter shook his head: "If the user's mobile phone is in arrears for more than three months, the number will be recycled, and your number is estimated to have been cancelled." ”
"Log out?" Chen Ge stood by the counter, his hand clenching the comic book in his pocket.
"I'll check it out for you." The waiter was very patient, she opened the back cover of the mobile phone, took out the SIM card inside, and checked the information of this mobile phone card through the 20 digits on the big card.
Looking at the computer screen, the waiter was a little surprised: "Your card can really be used normally." ”
"Can it work? Didn't you say that the number would be cancelled after three months? The phone hasn't been used for at least a few years. Chen Ge looked at the computer screen, and he also felt incredible.
"The arrears will be cancelled in three months, but your mobile phone number has been charged every month since you applied for the card seven years ago, and this is the bill."
The computer screen clearly shows the payment record of this number for seven years, and the most recent payment was yesterday!
The waiter looked at Chen Ge with a smile on his face: "Sir, although you have forgotten this number yourself, someone has not forgotten, it is really not easy for her to hold on for seven years." ”
"Thank you."
Chen Ge directly bought a mobile phone that could insert a big card in the business hall, and walked out with a bag on his back.
He inserted the mobile phone card into the mobile phone, looked at the opaque sky outside, and went into the back alley to summon the mobile phone ghost.
"It's our agreement."
Chen Ge handed the phone to the mobile phone ghost, and the thin mobile phone ghost was holding the phone, his body trembling.
The rain became heavier and heavier, Chen Ge silently squatted in front of the mobile phone ghost and looked at his face: "How about I take you to see her?" ”
The mobile phone ghost shook his head, he didn't dare to send a message with his mobile phone, and returned the mobile phone to Chen Ge after a long time.
"She is afraid that her phone will be canceled and you will never be able to contact her again, so she will charge this number every month, and she has been waiting for you."
I don't know if Chen Ge's words worked, the mobile phone ghost sent a message to Chen Ge, and then disappeared directly.
Click on that message, and there is an address on it - Tong Tong Flower Shop, No. 37 Puyuan Road, Eastern Suburbs.
Chen Ge didn't stop, stopped the taxi and rushed to the place where the mobile phone ghost said.
When it was almost eight o'clock, Chen Ge found No. 37 Puyuan Road, and it was already raining heavily.
Chen Ge's coat was wet, and he stuck to the side of the street, and finally saw the flower shop on the corner.
The area is not large, but the layout is very warm, and you can smell a faint fragrance of flowers when you walk to it.
Pushing the glass door, wind chimes rang and a woman who looked to be in her thirties was holding a basket, as if thinking about how to match the foliage, the main flower and the lining flowers.
She heard the wind chimes ringing, hurriedly put down the basket in her hand, and stood up.
Chen Ge looked at the woman in front of him, very ordinary and ordinary: "Hello, I want to order a bouquet of carnations." ”
"Mother's for it? What colors does she like? The woman led Chen Ge to the side.
"I don't know too much, just do it the way you like."
"Then you come to pick it up tomorrow morning, or I will send you a picture when the time comes, and if you are satisfied, I will send it to you."
"Okay." Chen Ge looked left and right and found a small wooden sign in front of the counter of the flower shop, on which was a photo of a very cute boy: "Is this your child?" ”
The woman nodded, her eyes a little complicated: "His name is Tong Tong, he disappeared six years ago while playing near the flower shop, and the police suspect that he was abducted by human traffickers." ”
"Human traffickers?" Chen Ge didn't continue, he quietly put the bouquet of money on the counter while the woman was distracted: "Your child will definitely be fine, maybe he is also thinking about you." ”
Without disturbing the woman any more, Chen Ge walked towards the outside of the store.
"Wait a minute!" The woman suddenly shouted at Chen Ge, and she went into the back room.
"What's wrong?"
When Chen Ge was surprised, the woman took out an umbrella from the house: "It's raining outside, you take it first, and then give it to me tomorrow when you come to fetch flowers." ”
Chen Ge said thank you, but he didn't take the umbrella and walked out of the flower shop directly.
The wind chimes were drowned out by the heavy rain, and Chen Ge walked around and walked into the café opposite the flower shop.
He picked a window spot and called the phone out.
"Talk to her, she's been waiting for you."
Chen Ge handed the newly bought mobile phone to the mobile phone ghost, this thin and pitiful little guy, holding the mobile phone in both hands, stood next to the window pane, silently looking across the street.
The lights in the flower shop went out, and the woman walked out with a bag and an umbrella.
She locked the door of the flower shop as she usually did, and walked off into the distance.
Seeing her back getting more and more blurred, the mobile phone ghost finally took out his mobile phone, he thought for a long time, and used his own mobile phone number to send a message to the woman.
"I'm sorry."
Across the street, the woman heard her cell phone ring, and at first she didn't care.
Holding an umbrella in one hand and taking out her mobile phone with the other, when she saw the information on the mobile phone screen, her body seemed to be frozen.
The umbrella fell, and she stood alone in the heavy rain with her mobile phone.
In the café, the mobile phone ghost was lying on the window, crying through the cold glass.
