The last page of the book, which was filled with stories of cruelty and murder, was actually a warm dream.
His fingers caressed the handwriting on the book, and tiredness washed over him like a wave. Chen Ge hugged the book, closed his bloodshot eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
In the ten days and nights behind the door, he had been under a lot of psychological pressure, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.
After leaving Yu Jian's world, he could not hold on any longer.
The backpack fell beside him, and Chen Ge fell asleep just like that. On the single bed next to him, Yu Jian woke up with a start.
Wrapped in a thin blanket, Yu Jian glanced at Chen Ge and slowly buried his head in his chest.
Yu Jian's mother, who stood at the door, saw this. She had no idea what had happened inside the room.
She only felt that before Chen Ge came in, only Yu Jian was abnormal, but after Chen Ge's treatment, both of them appeared to have gone crazy.
"What should I do now?"
Yu Jian's mother entered the room, wanting to drag Chen Ge away. She tried, but she realized that she could not move Chen Ge at all, so she gave up.
She walked out of the bedroom with a sad face, and behind her, many blood red shadows appeared.
If she had done something bad earlier, the whole building would have been destroyed.
At eight in the morning, Chen Ge was woken up by the alarm on his phone. The blood in his eyes had not completely disappeared.
Holding his head that was still hurting, Chen Ge glanced out the window. The sunlight shone into the bedroom through the gap between the curtains, and Yu Jian, who was dressed neatly, was sitting before the study table.
"You're awake?"
Hearing the sound, Yu Jian turned around. He was dressed neatly like he was ready to go out.
"My head still hurts." Chen Ge picked up the backpack and put everything away. "You should still remember the dream from last night, right?"
Yu Jian shook his head. "I don't remember it clearly, but I have not forgotten what you told me."
He handed the few sheets of paper that he had arranged on the table to Chen Ge. "All my crimes are written on them. I will go meet Mr. Zhang and then turn myself in at the police station."
The contents of the white paper were shocking, filled with malicious thoughts and despicable curses. Among them, there were three that were the most serious.
The first incident was when he was very young. Under the encouragement of the ghost fetus, he almost poked the neighbor's child's eye blind.
The second was when he ran away from home during middle school. He had completely given himself over to the ghost fetus and allowed the ghost fetus to complete the scheme of the nine children.
During this period, the ghost fetus had harmed many people, including Wu Jinpeng's younger brother's hand, which had been injured by the fan.
When the ghost fetus tried to take away Wu Sheng's voice, Wu Kun, who was much less intelligent than a normal person, was not afraid of the ghost fetus. He tried his best to stop it, but unfortunately, he was no match for the ghost fetus.
The third thing was related to Yu Jian's biological father. If not for the encounter with that teacher, Yu Jian would have been forced onto a path of no return by the ghost fetus.
"I knew he was using me. From the very beginning, I knew that he would not choose me." Yu Jian looked at the paper that was filled with words in Chen Ge's hands. "I am the same kind of person as him. He hates people like us from the bottom of his heart. His deepest hatred comes from himself."
Yu Jian was the living person who had spent the longest time with the ghost fetus, so he should be one of the people who understood the ghost fetus the best.
"Since you know the ghost fetus is using you, why did you still help him?" This was something that Chen Ge could not understand.
"Like I said, I am the same kind of person as him. For a moment, I felt like he was my only friend. "Yu Jian's body was very weak. He took back the few pieces of paper and pulled back the bedroom curtain.
The sun shone into the bedroom. Yu Jian looked at the scenery outside the window. "Actually, this world is quite beautiful."
Putting the few pieces of paper into his bag, Yu Jian turned his back to the sun, opened the bedroom door, and walked out from this small room that had taken care of him.
In the corridor, when Yu Jian's mother saw Yu Jian walk out from the bedroom, her face was filled with disbelief.
"Son …"
"I wish to go out for a walk."
"Okay, okay!"
The front door opened, and Yu Jian left with his bag. Yu Jian's mother rushed into the bedroom and looked at Chen Ge in shock. "How did you do that? Yu Jian's illness seems to have improved a lot! He volunteered to go out for a walk. That is unbelievable! "
"Yu Jian was not sick to begin with. He just did not know how to love this world and the people around him." Chen Ge stared at Yu Jian's mother. "If you do not want Yu Jian to return to how he used to be, then sit down and talk to me. This time, please do not lie or hide anything."
Through the conversation, what the ghost fetus said behind the door was verified.
Yu Jian was indeed an illegitimate child. His father wanted to get rid of the mother and son duo, and his mother used him as a tool to blackmail them.
He did not know what love was when he was young, and he was used by the ghost fetus. The evil and ugliness were magnified, and it caused his mind to become twisted.
Yu Jian's mother felt guilty toward Yu Jian. She took good care of Yu Jian, but at the same time, she wanted to raise Yu Jian to become someone better than his father, so she was very strict with him.
There was no social interaction or entertainment. As long as he was good at his studies, that was enough.
After a deeper conversation, Chen Ge also discovered a deeper problem.
Yu Jian's mother had known about Yu Jian's psychological problems a long time ago, but after Yu Jian had done something dangerous to others several times, she did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Instead, she tried to cover up for him, causing Yu Jian to miss the opportunity to be corrected again and again.
"It is not entirely Yu Jian's fault that he became like this." Chen Ge picked up his backpack. "If there is a chance, you'd better go and meet the teacher who was fired because of Yu Jian. She is the real person who saved Yu Jian."
After getting to the bottom of everything, Chen Ge prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Yu Jian's mother stopped Chen Ge. "Even though I do not know what method you used, you have indeed helped Yu Jian to open up the knot in his heart. How much does this treatment cost? If Yu Jian locks himself in his room again in the future, how am I supposed to contact you? "
"I do not rely on this to earn money." Chen Ge stood in the bedroom and looked around. In the end, he picked up a mud statuette from Yu Jian's study table. "I'll take this mud statuette as payment."
He placed the mud statuette with Yu Jian's name inside his backpack and left Yu Jian's home.
Taking the elevator to the first floor, Chen Ge walked into the safety corridor. He squatted on the ground to look at his own shadow.
"When will you wake up? I have many questions that I wish to ask you."
Taking out the mud statuette with Yu Jian's name from his backpack, Chen Ge placed it on his own shadow.
Black and red blood leaked out from the statuette and seeped into the shadow. An oppressive presence was slowly awakening.
"After I find all the other mud statuettes, you should be able to wake up, right?"
Chen Ge had not forgotten what had happened behind the door. He had truly come to understand the girl in his shadow.
Carrying the backpack, Chen Ge hurried to New Century Park before it opened for business.
He did not say anything. Once he reached the door, he helped his employees with their make-up and prepared for business.
The Haunted House only started to receive visitors after a delay of ten minutes. Chen Ge felt bad about this. He personally ran to the line of visitors and handed them some water and some small gifts from New Century Park.
Chen Ge was very famous on the internet. Many visitors started to take pictures of him when they saw him. In fact, it caused quite a commotion.
"If one day, my Haunted House really can't run anymore, I can consider becoming an internet celebrity."
The Haunted House opened without any accidents. The visitors entered in an orderly manner, and Chen Ge sighed in relief.
After bidding farewell to Xu Shu, he carried the backpack and left New Century Park alone.
"This boss of mine sure has no sense of presence."
There was not much time left until the ghost fetus' birth. Chen Ge called Lee Zheng. After asking for Zhen Zhen's location, he hailed a cab to find him.
In the cab, Chen Ge took out the black phone. There were indeed unread messages on it.
"I should have received this message when I exited the door." Chen Ge swiped the screen and clicked open the unread messages.
"Four-star Trial Mission Ghost Fetus has been completed five out of nine. The ghost fetus has lost the emotions of a living human, so he can no longer curse you through your loved ones! Lucky Red Specter's Favored! You do not have much time left!
"Four-star Trial Mission Ghost Fetus has been completed six out of nine. The ghost fetus has lost his heart! His most precious thing has been stolen, and his power has been greatly reduced! Warning! Lucky Red Specter's Favored! You do not have much time left! "
Looking at the two messages on the black phone, Chen Ge was stunned.
"How is this possible? Last night, I only entered Yu Jian's world behind the door to help Yu Jian find the love that was taken from him. I only completed one mission! How come the ghost fetus' heart has disappeared? "
Frowning, Chen Ge's brain turned rapidly. His eyes glowed as he thought of a possibility.
"It was the non-smiler from the cursed hospital who stole the ghost fetus' heart!"
Chen Ge still remembered the child whose heart was taken away by the ghost fetus. At the time, Chen Ge had run into the non-smiler at his home, but he did not get into any conflict with the non-smiler.
"The non-smiler represents the cursed hospital. They also have their eyes on the ghost fetus. The child with the congenital heart disease is the child chosen by the ghost fetus!"
Last night, Chen Ge entered Yu Jian's world behind the door and took away the love that was taken away by the ghost fetus.
On the same night, the non-smiler made his move on the child with the heart problem. They stole away the heart that was taken away by the ghost fetus.
"Why would the cursed hospital target the ghost fetus? What is their relationship with the ghost fetus? "
Chen Ge was reminded of something else. Every time he entered the world behind the door of the child chosen by the ghost fetus, a black iron door would appear behind him.
The door appeared to be the door of a detention room. There were blood stains on it, and there was a faded smell of disinfectant.
The world behind the door was weaved from the children's memory, but the black iron door was the ghost fetus' own memory.
"Could the black iron door be one of the doors inside the cursed hospital? Was the ghost fetus once imprisoned inside that hospital? " Before this, Chen Ge had separated the ghost fetus from the cursed hospital, but now he suddenly realized that there might be some kind of connection between the ghost fetus and the cursed hospital.
"Evil is contagious. Who was the creator of evil in the first place?"
Chen Ge did not have a good impression of the cursed hospital. He wished that the ghost fetus would perish together with the hospital, but the problem was that the cursed hospital probably had the same idea as Chen Ge. They wanted Chen Ge and the ghost fetus to end up in mutual destruction, and then they would reap the rewards from the battle.
"Other than being careful of the ghost fetus, I also need to be careful of that hospital." Chen Ge was very calm. "I used almost ten Red Specters to kill Du Ming's mother, who was disguised as the ghost fetus. The fact that the cursed hospital was able to steal the ghost fetus' heart proves that they are no weaker than me! There might be a Top Red Specter among them! "
Feeling anxious, Chen Ge kept urging the driver. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the police station.
"Inspector Lee, where is Zhen Zhen? Can I see him? After all, no matter what, I'm still his savior. "
"He's at the duty room. The child is very obedient. We all like him." Lee Zheng was busy with other things, but when he saw Chen Ge, he stopped what he was doing. "I'll take you to him."
"There's no hurry. I have something else to ask." Chen Ge walked to stand before Lee Zheng. "Earlier, I asked you to investigate the child with congenital heart disease …"
"He passed away at the hospital last night." Lee Zheng pulled out a document from the table. "The child's name is Nie Xin. He suffered from congenital heart disease. It is a miracle that he managed to survive until now."
"Passed away? Last night? "Chen Ge gritted his teeth. He was eighty percent sure that this was the doing of the non-smiler.
A human life was lost just like that. He was so young, and he did not even have the chance to see the world.
"I should have gone earlier." Chen Ge blamed himself.
The children chosen by the ghost fetus were all pitiful people, so Chen Ge had been trying his best to help them.
When Chen Ge entered the world behind the door, he would find the power that the ghost fetus had taken away from the children and then return the power to the children, making them whole again.
But other people, be it Gu Ming or the non-smiler, did not care about the children's lives. They would do anything to obtain the lingering spirit of the ghost fetus.
"How are Nie Xin's parents?"
"Yes, the parents are relatively stable, but there seems to be some problem with the attending doctor. He fainted after the surgery last night, and he still hasn't woken up."
Chen Ge got the name of the attending doctor, and then with Lee Zheng leading the way, he arrived at the duty room at the station.
Before he arrived, Chen Ge could hear the laughter coming from inside the room.
He pushed open the door, and a female officer was playing with Zhen Zhen.
When he saw Chen Ge walk in, Zhen Zhen jumped down from the bed and hid behind the female officer. He appeared to be a little afraid of Chen Ge. This was something that no one expected.
Putting down the backpack, Chen Ge walked to Zhen Zhen. "You don't recognize me anymore?"
Zhen Zhen nodded, but then he shook his head. He seemed to see another shadow in Chen Ge. That shadow gave him a sense of familiarity, but at the same time, he felt unsettled.
After a while, Zhen Zhen returned to normal. He held Chen Ge's hand and handed the candy on the table to Chen Ge.
"Zhen Zhen, I'm here to ask you something." Chen Ge took the candy that Zhen Zhen handed him. "When you were held hostage by Gu Ming, other than Liu Wen and Nie Xin, did you sense any other children?"
