Chapter 188: Aged Woman

Chapter 188: Aged Woman

Once Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Fatty felt everyone’s eyes on him change. The climber woman, Liang Long, subconsciously moved away from him.

“It looks like Brother Hao and Brother Fatty know each other.” Chen Ran raised his brows and asked naturally, “Did you two come here together?”

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Ren stared at Jiang Cheng’s face. They were clearly curious about him. So far, even though Fatty hadn’t done much, he didn’t look like someone with mental challenges. Or was his issues... intermittent?

Liang Long studied Fatty up and down as if she were studying a new species. However, Jiang Cheng quickly drew her attention. The rest of them were the same. His self-introduction was too special.

High-end group, nightshift, tips... For things like making money while lying down and others that couldn’t be explained without breaking the law, Jiang Cheng uttered them proudly. With the interruption from Jiang Cheng, the tension was almost halved.

After they calmed down, they were hit by pangs of fatigue and hunger. They had been in that world for almost a day already. They hadn’t had anything to drink or eat.

“We should rest.” Chen Ren said, “I’ll take the first shift, and then...”

“Have another person join you.” Jiang Cheng said, “The situation here is too complicated. Let’s hope we won’t wake up tomorrow to find another person missing.” They still hadn’t found the biker woman. Probably nothing good happened to her.

Chen Ran thought about it and nodded. He scanned everyone, and his eyes landed on Jiang Cheng’s face. He smiled. “Can I trouble Brother Hao to guard the first shift with me?”

However...

“I can’t take the first shift.” Jiang Cheng said, “I’m different from the rest of you. I was dragged here while I was in the middle of work. My stamina cannot be lowered. I need to rest.”

Chen Ran’s eyes widened. Then, he turned to Fatty. However, before he could say anything, Jiang Cheng grumbled, “You have to leave Fatty to me. I’m cold at night. I can’t sleep properly if I don’t hug him.”

“But what you mentioned is just a small part.” Jiang Cheng sat up. “The main reason is this place.”

“Doctor, what do you mean...”

“Where did the woman disappear from?” Jiang Cheng asked.

“This place.”

“Be more specific.”

“This room. No, this lighthouse,” Fatty corrected himself.

Jiang Cheng shook his head. “I don’t think so.”

“Did you notice something?” Fatty asked nervously. He looked around to make sure no one was spying on them. “Doctor?”

Jiang Cheng leaned back and continued slowly, “I’m still not sure. I’ll tell you when I’ve figured it out.”

“Okay.”

“Fatty.”

Fatty was stunned. He thought the Doctor had changed his mind. He rubbed his hands. “Doctor, you can tell me. I’m listening.”

Jiang Cheng raised his head to glance at a figure almost curled up into a ball. “Be careful of that aged woman.” He paused and warned Fatty, “If we ever get separated, do not get close to her. Do not trust anything she says.”
