At this most dangerous moment, Liu Xianxian found the statue they were looking for. This should have been a happy occasion, but Ma Yin found it so difficult to smile. She was certain that there was a third person hiding in the storeroom—maybe he was hiding in a corner, watching them at that very moment. Should they leave or take a risk?
"No, I still think it's too dangerous. Since we know where the statue is now, we can come back tomorrow. There's no need to rush this." Ma Yin tried to convince her best friend. "Listen to me, we need to leave."
"Two questions won't take that much time." Liu Xianxian was stubborn. The man that she loved had become a thorn in her heart. Releasing her grasp on Ma Yin, Liu Xianxian walked deeper into the storeroom alone. "It'll end soon. In a few minutes, I'll know the real answer."
She sounded like she was possessed.
"Liu Xianxian!" Ma Yin was agitated. She wanted to leave, but she could not abandon Liu Xianxian. Her two hands holding the chair, she gave chase after Liu Xianxian.
The two girls reached the last rack that was on the left side of the storeroom. Liu Xianxian pointed at the gap between the rack and the wall. "The wall behind that rack is hollowed out, and the statue is just behind it."
Ma Yin leaned on the rack and shone the light into the gap. There was an ugly face that looked back at her. When the light hit the statue, the eyes of the statue seemed to blink.
"There's only one statue inside this storeroom, so this has to be it." Liu Xianxian grabbed the edge of the rack. "What are you doing standing there? We've finally found the thing we've been looking for so long—why aren't you helping?"
"I feel like there's a reason someone purposely hid the statue behind the rack." Ma Yin looked at the statue, and for some reason, it felt familiar to her. The two of them moved the rack aside, and a faint smell drifted out.
"What is that smell? It seems to come from the statue. It smells like… decomposition?"
"Why would a statue smell like decomposition?" Liu Xianxian walked to the statue with her phone, and the light hit the statue fully. It was a sculpture of a mature male. It was larger than a normal man, and it was well-built. However, the face was distorted, so ugly that people would not look at it directly. Very rarely would a sculptor do something like this, unless there was a special meaning.
"The words at the base and the face, it's the same as the statue in your video." Liu Xianxian looked at this statue, and her fingers shivered. She had finally found the solution to the question that had been bothering her for so long.
The hollowed-out alcove was only one meter wide, and the statue was placed at the very back. He looked like a devil with his arms open, ready to welcome the lost lambs. Standing before statue, the smell intensified, but Liu Xianxian did not seem to smell it. She put her hands together and lowered her head silently.
"In my heart…"
"Wait a minute!" Ma Yin interrupted Liu Xianxian. "You'd better think about this carefully before you ask the question. According to the legend, this statue can verify the validity of any statement. If the statement is true, it will shed blood tears, but if it's fake, then something scary will happen."
"I know." Liu Xianxian was closed to any advice. She took another step and told the statue softly, "The man inside my heart, he also likes me, yes?"
Inside the darkened storeroom, the girl asked the question inside her heart, and she turned to focus on the statue's eyes with anticipation. If the statue wept, then she was right. Liu Xianxian started to get nervous; she could even hear her own heartbeat.
One second, two second…
Half a minute went by, and nothing happened. The statue did not cry, and nothing scary happened.
"The legend's fake?" Liu Xianxian leaned weakly against the wall like her energy had been sucked out of her body. Her hope morphed into a bubble and was popped. Ma Yin stood behind Liu Xianxian—she seemed to have expected this result. Often, people did something not to wish for any result, but it was because of that drive of hope. Ma Yin patted Liu Xianxian's shoulder lightly, but she did not know how to best console her roommate.
"I'm fine." The trained smile appeared on Liu Xianxian's face. "This statue once appeared in your sister's video. You have to go and check whether there's any clue regarding her disappearance. I'll be fine."
Ma Yin nodded. She took out her phone to pause the video where the statue was on screen. "The statue in the video is completely identical to this statue. I only need to find out who this statue's original owner is, and I'll be able to find the killer."
She recorded the statue on her phone, not letting go of any details. The camera moved from the statue's chest to its cheeks. The sense of familiarity in Ma Yin's heart increased like she had done something like this before.
"Have I forgotten something?" After recording everything, Ma Yin put her phone away. "The legend involving the statue is fake, but at least the appearance of this statue has proven something—the video that my sister sent me is real."
She stared at the statue before her. Looking at that ugly face, an urge blossomed in her heart. She reached out to touch the statue's icy skin, and Ma Yin asked the question that had been troubling her. "My big sister is dead, isn't she?"
Disappeared and dead were two different things. Even after so many year, Ma Yin still had some hope in her heart.
After two seconds, Ma Yin shook her head. "The legend is fake, so why am I doing this? It's just a story to trick children, and we've fallen for it."
She was talking to herself, but when she finished, the stench in the air grew, and the light from the phone twisted. The originally silent storeroom started to echo with a pounding sound like something was knocking into the racks.
Ma Yin sensed the change in the air, and she prepared to leave when Liu Xianxian yelled, "Xiao Yin! Look at his eyes!"
"His eyes?" Ma Yin understood it immediately and turned to look at the statue's eyes. Two lines of blood were flowing down the statue's eyes. The blood was thick and red, forming a great contrast to the plaster-white skin.
"The statue cried‽"
Ma Yin stood where she was, and soon, she was covered by fear. "The statue will cry when it's a truth, but when Liu Xianxian asked her question earlier, it didn't respond."
The light was distorted even more, and the pounding sound became more consistent.

Ma Yin looked at the blood tear on the statue's face, and a weird emotion formed in her heart. It was fear and familiarity, like she had been through this before.
"We cannot stay here any longer. We have to leave now!"
Liu Xianxian was completely unmoved by the urgency in Ma Yin's voice. Her slender arms curved inwards to hug her shoulders like she was suddenly feeling very cold.
"So, he really doesn't love me. I've been reading too much into this." Liu Xianxian's emotions were unravelling, and she started to cry, talking to the air. "Since he doesn't love me, then why did he give me hope? Why did he torture me?"
Ma Yin shook Liu Xianxian. "We can talk about this outside. It's not safe here."
She was about one head taller than Liu Xianxian, and she was also stronger. She forced Liu Xianxian out from behind the rack. When the two of them turned, the statue at the inner most part of the storeroom elicited the sound of teeth grinding. The tears of blood kept falling like the statue was about to come to life at any moment.
Unlike when they entered, a weird change was happening to the storeroom. The racks moved to form a maze, and the trash blocked the road, making it difficult for them to exit.
"Didn't we move the canvases to the side of the wall? Why are they still blocking the path?" Ma Yin needed to take care of Liu Xianxian, who was in the middle of a breakdown, and tried to mow their way out. She moved the heavy canvasses aside, her heart screaming, Faster, faster!
The pounding sound entered her ears. It sounded like it came from a particular corner of the storeroom. Ma Yin's forehead was covered with sweat; she had never been so fearful in her life.
After moving several canvases, she moved forward and realized that the tables and chairs that were stacked up in the corner earlier had been moved to sit in the middle of their escape route.
"Did the chairs come alive? Who could have moved so many of them in such a short amount of time without making a noise?" Ma Yin dragged Liu Xianxian forward. She did not have the time to move the tables and chairs one by one anymore. "Follow me, we're jumping over these things!"
Liu Xianxian had also noticed the differences. Even though she was devastated, she did not want to drag her roommate down with her. The two girls climbed over the teetering tables and chairs. When they reached the highest spot, Ma Yin saw that the monitor, which had been turned off, was on again. The monitor was rather obvious in the dark storeroom.
Who turned the computer on? The person that I saw earlier?
The thought had just appeared in her mind when the shape of a human face appeared on screen. It was a bald man with a bloated face.
At the same time, the photocopier beside it started to operate on its own. Paper shot out from the chute, and there was a human face printed on each page. The paper flew out, and the human face became clearer. Without any hesitation, Ma Yin jumped down from the table. The room was completely dark, and she could not see anything without the light from her phone.
"Quick! This way!" Ma Yin took out her phone to provide Liu Xianxian with some lighting. Liu Xianxian aimed for a spot that had no trash, and when she was prepared to jump, something touched Ma Yin on her back. Ma Yin jumped and immediately turned her phone around. At the same time, Liu Xianxian jumped.
The spot that was originally empty suddenly had an extra chair that only had three legs. Liu Xianxian's left leg stepped on the edge of the chair. She screamed as she fell to the ground. Her arms were bruised, and she sprained her leg.
Ma Yin just turned around when Liu Xianxian screamed behind her. She felt like she was losing her mind.
"Come, I'll carry you!" Ma Yin had just picked Liu Xianxian up when she felt something touch her back. This time, she was prepared. Her fist tightened as she turned back. She missed, and she lowered her head to look. She then realized it was the paper from the photocopier that had hit her.
She shone her phone on it, and there was a faded human face on the paper. His face was bloated and ugly. His hair and brows seemed to have fallen off due to extended period of submersion in a certain type of liquid. He looked like a rubber ball.
"Why would such a thing come out from the photocopier?" She had Liu Xianxian climb onto her back and powered forward. The face on the paper became clearer, and Ma Yin ran past the monitor. When she passed the photocopier, the paper slowed down, and she turned subconsciously to the scanner on the photocopier. In the faded light of the scanner, there was a bald man smiling at her!
Her breathing became slow as Ma Yin forced herself to run faster. She was already scared, and she still needed to carry Liu Xianxian. Her energy quickly drained. She only ran for a short distance before her legs felt like lead.
"Xiao Yin! Put me down!"
"I'm fine." The two girls continued to move forward. The closer they were to the door, the louder the pounding sound.
"Will something block the door?" Fear curled around Ma Yin's heart. Various ghost stories related to cadavers and underground morgues flooded her mind, and the color drained from her face. "Impossible! That is all fake."
She ran at the door. At first, it was just a pounding sound from the door. Then there was a pounding sound from under the rack. Finally, the pounding sound came from everywhere.
"What is making that noise‽" Ma Yin's face was white. She did not dare stay. She ran through the racks to get to the door. The wooden door's lock was broken, so it could not be locked, but the pounding sound now came from the door.
"It's just outside the door!"
Just as Ma Yin hesitated whether to go out, one of the lockers beside the rack was shoved open. Following the pounding sound, something dripping wet, hairless with the shape of a human, landed on the ground and slithered toward them like a snake!
"Be careful!" Liu Xianxian screamed. Ma Yin decided to run out the door—staying in the storeroom meant death. At least out the door, she had a chance of getting to the surface.
"Hold onto me!" Ma Yin shoved the door open, and she saw something like a human bouncing on the ground. The pounding sound was its head knocking against the door
"Run!" Liu Xianxian screamed. Ma Yin carried her and ran back the way they came. However, as they turned the corner, something even more despairing happened.
Standing in the corridor was a man. His face was shrouded in darkness, but she could see the half-a-meter-long murder weapon he was holding in his arms!

There was a shadow holding a creepy-looking hammer standing in the dark corridor that seemed to lead right to hell. The man blocked the only way out—he was the manifestation of despair itself. Ma Yin did not have much energy left in her body. Her footsteps slowed down, and the color disappeared from her eyes as she looked down the corridor with helplessness. Compared to this man who held the murder weapon, it was obvious that the weird thing that slithered on the floor behind them was easier to deal with.
She did not dare move forward. Her legs weakened, and fear drained the energy from her body.
"What should we do?" Ma Yin asked for Liu Xianxian's opinion. At this moment, they only had each other.
"The underground passage is complicated and connects to the various labs at the western side of the campus. Should we just run backward? If we're lucky, we might find a way out, but it's more likely that we'll get trapped inside the tunnels." Liu Xianxian bit on her lips and made the second decision. "The other choice is to rush forward. If the man tries to attack you, toss me at him. I'll try my best to stop him, and you run as fast as you can to go and find the teacher and the security."
"No, I won't do that."
"My ankle is sprained, so I cannot run. It's that, or both of us are going to die here!" Various newspaper headlines that stated how a young girl was found dead in her campus flashed across her mind, and even though she tried to stop them, the tears kept on falling.
"Die here…" Ma Yin was reminded of the few paintings that she had seen inside the cupboard. The paintings made her feel fear and terror. Ma Yin nodded as she made this painful decision. "I will run at the top of my speed and find someone to come save you."
"I'll wait for you." When they finished their discussion, the monsters had been catching up to them. The man who blocked the corridor had noticed them as well. The half-a-meter-long murder weapon twirled in the air, and the man walked toward them.
The smell of blood crept through the underground corridor, and there was a red shadow flickering beside the man. Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian were trapped by threats coming from both ends. The two girls moved toward the man as they had planned, but they only took several steps when Ma Yin was unable to move anymore, and on her back, Liu Xianxian was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Blood vessels seemed to crawl over the man before them, and perhaps due to fear, Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian heard the sound of blood dripping in their ears. That introduced a change to their plan. Ma Yin's bodily instinct told her to slow down, her brain giving her signal to tell her to stay away from the man. Liu Xianxian's heart was filled with regret. When she was really facing death, she found out how cowardly she was. With tears falling down her cheeks, she grabbed Ma Yin's shoulders. "Should we try going deeper into the underground morgue? Perhaps we might be able to find other exits?"
Before Ma Yin could answer, the man's speed suddenly increased. She screamed, and before her mind came to a decision, her legs carried her away from the man. It was too scary!
Turning back the corner, there were several fish or snake-like humanoid monsters in the corridor. They were quite happy when they saw Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian return on their own, but their smile soon disappeared. The smell of blood in the corridor overwhelmed the smell of formalin, and the blood vessels crept along the wall like spider web.
What were those things?
The sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. With the Red Specter following behind him, Chen Ge ran to the girls with the hammer. "Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!"
However, no one stopped because he said that. Including the monsters, everyone ran deeper down the corridor. Looking at Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin running along the monsters down the corridor, Chen Ge's lips twitched. "What is the meaning of this?"
The corridors would get even more crisscrossed down the line. Afraid that Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian might get lost in the tunnels, he picked up his speed again. "Stop running!"
Ma Yin was carrying Liu Xianxian, so her energy was exhausted after a short distance of running. Noticing the man catching up to them, she experienced the sting of despair so acutely for the first time in her life. It was exactly as depicted in that painting. The decayed hand reached for the sky, but it could never touch it.
"Xianxian, I cannot run anymore." Ma Yin did not know what kind of tone she was using when she said that sentence. She turned to look at Liu Xianxian, who was crying. She gripped her fists trying to fight the man behind them, but when she turned around and met his gaze, she understood how fragile her courage was before this man. She stopped moving like she had surrendered.
The smell of blood intensified. The blood vessels that crept on the wall became more numerous as the despairing shadow got closer to them. Ma Yin closed her eyes; she did not want to watch her own demise.
The footsteps approached them in mere seconds. The imagined pain and assault did not appear, but when the footsteps stopped beside them, they could not help but scream. Even after their screams, the pain did not appear. Just as they thought this was going to be a cruel game of cat and mouse, they opened their eyes to realize that the man had already wandered away.
He waved that unknown weapon in his arms and ran down the corridor. With wet tears still in their eyes, Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian watched Chen Ge run away from them, and it felt like they had been given a second chance at life.
"Let's go!" The two had not completely lost their sensibility. They supported each other and staggered down the corridor. Chen Ge was chasing the retreating monsters when he turned back to see the escaping girls. He hesitated and decided to give up on the monsters.
If I continue to chase after them, I might accidentally trigger the Trial Mission at the underground morgue. Since Zhang Ya hasn't awakened, I'd better be more careful.
Chen Ge stopped moving. There was another reason he made this decision—the underground tunnels were complicated, so it was very disadvantageous to him.
Looks like I need to make more preparation. At the very least, I need a map of the underground morgue.
Chen Ge put the hammer away and continued to walk backward. The two girls shook violently when they saw him coming their way. They wanted to run but could not. Recalling Xu Yin into the tape, Chen Ge stood in the dark corridor so that the girls could not see his face clearly. "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
He was quite a bright person, but since he had spent so much time with Specters, it had introduced a contradictory element to his presence.
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian did not dare move. In fact, Liu Xianxian almost fainted from fear.
"Even though it would take a long for anyone to discover your bodies and there is enough time to deal with the evidence and clues, don't worry, I would never do something like that." Chen Ge held the hammer with both of his hands. "Actually, I only have a few questions to ask you. I hope that you can answer honestly."

The two girls squeezed together with their backs against the wall, and they kept nodding to Chen Ge's every word.
"Don't worry, just answer honestly to my questions." Chen Ge waved the hammer in his hand. "I will not hurt you, provided that you do not purposely lie to me."
"Please just ask your questions. We promise to tell you everything we know." Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian had pale faces. Their bodies kept shaking, causing their words to stutter.
"What are your names? What is the number of your dormitory, and who is your counselor?" Chen Ge started with known information to test if they would lie to him. The two girls provided honest answers. Whether Chen Ge asked or not, they told him everything.
"Sounds like you two are just normal students, so why are you here so late at night?"
"There is a campus legend about a statue. As long as you can find it before midnight, you can ask it a question." Ma Yin told Chen Ge the reason that she and Liu Xianxian were there. To prove their innocence, she even took out her phone to show Chen Ge the video.
This was the first time Chen Ge had seen the video left behind before Ma Yin's sister disappeared. The victim had shot the video from underneath the bed. There seemed to have been a recent tragedy in the house because there was blood everywhere. The video was only thirteen seconds long, and the frame froze on the woman by the window at the last second.
"My sister's disappearance should have everything to do with this woman with a skin disease." Ma Yin offered her opinion in a soft voice.
"Don't rush to any conclusions. The victim is recording from under the bed—the bed sheet is rumpled, and a bloodied sheet can be seen peeping out from the dresser door. Obviously, a murder just took place in this room. In other words, other than the person holding the camera, there was a second victim." Chen Ge looked through the video again. "There is a noose hanging in the middle of the room, giving the impression that someone committed suicide by hanging. However, there is no stool on the ground, so could it be that this is just as set-up created by the killer? Even though the room is a mess, weirdly enough, the sculptures on the shelf are all untouched, and the statue is not wounded. The bedroom is possibly not the first crime scene."
A murderer analyzed the situation logically while holding the camera. This unsettled Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian. They did not know what kind of emotion they should be showing.
"The woman by the window is definitely suspicious. From the muscules on her arms and the point she grabs to the window, her feet should be supported by something. If the wall outside the window didn't have a protruding spot for her to put her feet on, then the other explanation is that this room is on the ground floor." Chen Ge stared at the woman's face in the video. "Of course, that is provided this woman is not a ghost."
"Ghost?"
"Look at the woman's skin color for yourself. Does she look like a normal person to you?" Chen Ge returned to phone to Ma Yin.
"In that case, this woman has to be the killer!" Ma Yin felt some energy returning to her.
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about ghosts? Not all ghost would harm people for no reason. Look at the woman's eyes closely; she has no malicious intent. Furthermore, if she was the real killer, why would she stay at the window after committing the crime?"
Ma Yin did not know how to answer that—this was the first time she had met someone who would come to a ghost's defense. Her palms became sweaty as the thought entered her mind. Could this man be a ghost, too?
Chen Ge could feel the fear from Ma Yin, but he had no idea which sentence of his had spooked her. "Okay, that's all the question I have. Now take me to go see that statue."
"The statue is inside the storeroom, but it's not s-safe in there," Ma Yin stammered. "It's haunted."
"What kind of ghost is haunting it?" Chen Ge asked the first question that came to his mind, but it stumped both Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian.
How should we answer this? Ma Yin's forehead was covered with cold sweat. When a normal person heard that a place was haunted, even though they might not be afraid, they would be suspicious. What kind of question is this man asking? How many kinds of ghost are there?
"I'm not really sure." Her voice shaking, Ma Yin felt like the tears were about to fall from her eyes.
"Bring me to go take a look."
There was power in Chen Ge's voice that ensured his command was not denied. Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian did not think about running. They supported each other as they staggered step by step to the storeroom door.
"Paradise?" Chen Ge saw the words that were painted unevenly on the door. "Why is the abandoned storeroom called paradise? Does it have relaxation and entertainment facilities?"
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian shook their heads. They did not understand it either.
"This place is rather interesting." Chen Ge squatted down to examine the claw marks on the door. He placed his finger over the groove; it fitted perfectly. "These should have been gouged out by human hands."
This observation made the claw marks even creepier.
"The number of the monsters is higher than I thought." Chen Ge pushed the door open and led the way. "Where is the statue you mentioned?"
"Behind the rack at the back of the storeroom." Then Ma Yin softly reminded him, "The computer and photocopier are weird. When we were in here earlier, they activated on their own."
"The photocopier you say?" Ma Yin successfully piqued Chen Ge's interest, and he ran to the photocopier. The tables and chairs blocked the way, and the white papers that covered the floor was printed with the face of a man.
"Such an ugly mug, but it is creative to hide inside a photocopier." Chen Ge looked at the photocopier that had stopped working. He pushed the plug into the socket and switched the monitor on.
Weirdly enough, he tried the power button many times, but the computer refused to switch on. "What's going on?"
Both of the girls were shocked as well, and they started to plead, "We're not lying to you. There is a ghost inside this photocopier. I saw it myself!"
Ma Yin pulled the photocopier's lid open, but there was nothing underneath it. "Where did it go to? It was just here earlier!"
"I know you aren't lying to me. It's probably run away already." Chen Ge moved the tables and chairs away. He smashed those that were too tangled, and a path was cleared.
The two girls followed behind Chen Ge. Seeing the hammer in his hand, they had zero intention of trying to escape.
The three walked to the alcove behind the rack, and Chen Ge finally saw that ugly statue.
"This is the weeping statue?"
"Yes, he can verify the authenticity of a statement. If the statement is true, he will bleed tears of blood. We tried it earlier, and it's real."
Chen Ge nodded. He did not quite get the theory behind this statue, but that was not an issue because if he did not know the answer, he could just ask the question.

With his hand on the hammer, Chen Ge walked up to the statue. He looked at the statue's eyes and asked his first question.
"You can verify the validity of my every sentence, yes?" Chen Ge's question was not that difficult because he did not plan to make an enemy of the statue. He waited for half a minute, but the statue did not react.
"What's going on? Why didn't he cry?" Chen Ge turned to look at Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian. When the two girls saw him turn around, they shivered involuntarily.
"That's impossible! We've tried it earlier; the statue is real." They were underground, and the only source of lightning they had with them came from the phone. Ma Yin wanted to take a closer look at the statue, so she raised the phone that she had in her hand. However, just as the light hit the statue, she immediately put her hand down like she had realized something.
She urgently apologized to Chen Ge. "I understand your rules. I didn't see your face, and I don't know what you look like. I didn't see anything! We will not speak a word of what happened here to anyone!"
Her gaze focused on that creepy-looking murder weapon, and Ma Yin wished to throw her phone away. Now that she had been taken hostage, she was worried that they would be silenced for knowing too much.
Inside the basement at 2 am, first they ran into ghost, and then they were chased by monsters that looked like bald fishes and finally this murderer. A series of mental collapses had hollowed out Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian's minds. Their minds were completely blank—they just wanted to return to the surface as soon as possible.
"Afraid that you might get killed?" Chen Ge said to himself. "I cannot say your worry is not unfounded."
Hearing that, the two girls almost cried. "It's alright, I won't blame this on the two of you."
Chen Ge turned back to the statue. With his Yin Yang Vision, he could see the blood stain around the statue's eyes. "Was my question to difficult?"
When he was studying the statue, Liu Xianxian, who stood behind Ma Yin, slowly calmed down. Listening to Chen Ge's voice, she felt it sounded very familiar, similar to someone in her memory. "Impossible, why would he be here at 2 am? I should be mistaken."
Chen Ge ignored the two girls and walked around the statue, dragging the hammer. "A stench is coming out from inside the statue, I do wish to break it open to take a look."
He moved to stand before the statue again. "This time, I'll try a simpler question. I hope you'll give it much consideration before giving the answer."
Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder and picked up the hammer. "Do you think I can smash you into pieces in under a minute? If you don't, then I would love to give it a try."
White noise came out from Chen Ge's backpack, and several seconds later, two lines of blood escaped the statue's eyes.
"Looks like the legend is real." Chen Ge laughed satisfactorily. Listening to his laugh, the two girls behind him shivered. They looked at the statue in the dark corner, and for some reason, they felt pity for it.
The Pen Spirit can predict the future, but it is only fifty percent accurate. This statue can verify the authenticity of every word. If I combine their powers, doesn't that mean I will have a one hundred percent accurate prediction every time?
Chen Ge started to have ideas for this statue.
I don't think it's possible for me to carry this thing out alone. Asking two girls to help me is quite unreasonable. I suppose there's nothing I can do for now.
The blood tears slid down the statue's face, making it look quite pitiful. It only stopped crying when Chen Ge turned off the recorder.
I suppose I won't walk away empty-handed tonight. Chen Ge turned to ask the girls, "Is there a limitation to number of questions I can ask in that legend?"
"Amount of question?" Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian thought that Chen Ge was going to leave already, but who would have thought he would ask something like that? "I don't think so."
"No limitation?" Chen Ge felt rejuvenated. The statue had been placed in the storeroom for such a long time, so he must be familiar with this place. Chen Ge put the hammer away and very gently helped wipe the tears on the statue's face away.
"Okay, now I will ask you the second question." Chen Ge looked at the statue's ugly face. "The monsters that hid in this room earlier came from the underground morgue, yes?"
Several seconds later, blood red tears came from the statue's eyes.
"Very good, third question, there are people or monsters scarier than me in the underground morgue, yes?" The blood tear did not stop. The scene made the two girls close their eyes.
"Fourth question: someone is secretly helping the monsters in the morgue, yes?" The statue's tears had dried, but his survival instinct forced him to push out some tears.
"Looks like my previous speculation was not wrong. This underground morgue is complicated." Chen Ge realized that the statue was reaching its limits, so he asked the last question. "This is the last and most important question, so you'd better consider it carefully. The chairperson of the ghost stories society is Captain Yan from the police department, yes?"
The term 'ghost stories society' seemed to have a special meaning to the statue. When it heard these four words, the stench disappeared instantly like the soul on the statue had escaped.
"You cannot say? Could the society be the one who placed the statue here? Is the underground morgue also related to the society?" Chen Ge leaned close to the statue. His finger brushed across the statue's eyes, and there was one last blood tear drop that was oozing out.
"Looks like Captain Yan is really unrelated to the society." Chen Ge touched the statue's head, "Thank you for your help, but I have to remind you, none of the members of the society are sane; it's dangerous if you follow them. Why not go toward the light? I'll protect you in the future."
The statue did not show any response, and Chen Ge did not force it. He pushed the statue and placed it horizontally on the ground. He looked from underneath the base—the statue was hollow.
"The Pen Spirit can predict the future because it is possessed by a spirit. This statue has a similar ability, so it is probably related to a ghost as well." Chen Ge reached his hand into the statue. "The space is very big. I thought the statue would be hiding a body, but I'm mistaken. But something must be different about this statue since it can be possessed by a spirit. There might not be a body inside it now, but it doesn't mean that it wasn't hiding a body before this."
Chen Ge talked to himself, not caring about how the others with him felt. Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian were greatly panicked. They thought the man was finding a suitable spot to abandon their bodies.
"Anyway, the result is not bad for tonight. Let's leave for now." Chen Ge stood up and picked the statue back up. "The statue says that there is something scarier than me in the underground morgue. Based on my current ability, it is probably not enough to deal with that three-star trial mission."
