It was as if his skull had been struck by lightning. The ice in his memory started to crack, and images that he had never seen before flashed across Chen Ge's mind.
"Ghost fetus …"
Two faces that looked almost the same stared at the mirror at the same time. They saw their other selves in each other's eyes.
Chen Ge's body shook harder and harder. His whole body was numb. He was losing control of his body from head to toe. His heart felt like it had been stomped on several times. Even breathing became an extremely difficult thing to do.
In the blurry mirror, the child with sunken eyes was strangling the other child's neck. He tightened his grip bit by bit. The eyes that were filled with sin and despair were hiding some other emotions, like sadness and pain.
"Chen Ge!"
Xiao Sun and Wen Qing finally noticed the strange state that Chen Ge was in. They rushed into the bathroom to help Chen Ge, but Chen Ge's condition did not improve at all.
Every nerve in his body was taut, every muscle was shaking, and the blood was surging madly through his veins. Many scary and cruel images kept flashing through his mind.
He had no memory of these new images. Even after he saw them, he would forget them instantly.
He could not remember the actual scene, but he knew that there were two children in all the images.
That was the ghost fetus' memory, or rather, it was the shared memory between the two of them.
"Mirror … mirror …" Gritting his teeth, Chen Ge's mind was blank. He could not control his body at all. It was as if at that moment, his body did not belong to him anymore.
The fingers that gripped the edge of the sink slowly loosened. Chen Ge's body toppled backward. He looked at the two children's faces in the mirror, and the last image appeared in his mind — in a dark city, three blood red doors were pushed open at the same time!
"Pa!"
The shards of the mirror cut through Chen Ge's face. The glass splattered everywhere, and Chen Ge's body slumped heavily to the ground.
He slowly recovered. The mirror on the wall was shattered, and the two children's faces could no longer be seen on the blurry surface of the mirror.
"Chen Ge!" Throwing away the wooden chair in her hand, Wen Qing smashed the mirror and squatted down beside Chen Ge. "Are you feeling better?"
"I can only say that I won't die for now." Chen Ge lay on the ground. He was no longer weak. He could sense that someone was fighting for his body. "I am also one of the nine children chosen by the ghost fetus. The thing that the ghost fetus wants to take away from me should be my body."
In the past, when he helped other children, he did not have such a strong feeling. Now that it was his turn, he knew how painful it was to be forcibly deprived.
The building was still shaking, and strange noises kept coming from the residential area. The black fog had spread to the top floor, and the situation had reached the most critical moment.
"Let me help you up." Xiao Sun carried Chen Ge onto the bed while Wen Qing went to pick up the backpack that Chen Ge had dropped on the floor. Just as she touched the backpack, her body was pulled to the side by an invisible force. This scene was witnessed by both Chen Ge and Xiao Sun.
"What's inside this backpack?" Xiao Sun picked up the backpack. He wanted to return the backpack to Chen Ge out of kindness, but when his hands touched the backpack, blood vessels crawled up his arms like they were trying to consume his body and soul.
"Don't be rash!" Chen Ge used all his strength to yell. "Give me the backpack."
Xiao Sun was scared out of his wits. He did not dare grab the backpack anymore. He quickly placed the backpack and the hammer beside Chen Ge.
"Brother, your backpack seems to be bleeding." Xiao Sun did not dare ask too many questions. He stood obediently beside the bed and gripped the mattress with both hands to prevent himself from falling.
There were people fighting inside the residential area. The building appeared to be rammed by something. The people inside the building found it hard to stand without holding on to something.
"How come it feels like this place is going to collapse at any moment? Why don't you two say something? " Xiao Sun looked at the pale-faced Wen Qing and Chen Ge, who was collapsed on the bed. He did not expect that he would one day become the core of the team. "Looks like I'm the only one you can rely on now!"
Chen Ge ignored Xiao Sun. He used all his strength to place his hand on the backpack. When his fingertip touched the backpack, his heart slowly calmed down.
A gentle blood curled around his arm. Chen Ge's body regained some strength, but his body temperature continued to drop.
"Is it the Red Specter employees who are helping me?"
The ghost fetus wanted to take over Chen Ge's body. With just Chen Ge alone, he would not have been able to stop the ghost fetus, but with the help of his employees, things were completely different.
Even though the Red Specter employees were still bound by the rules of the world behind the door and could not unleash their full power, the ghost fetus was not at its peak. Its body was split into many parts. It had to maintain the stability behind the door and deal with other outsiders.
After his body regained its senses, Chen Ge realized that as the cracks on the building increased, the restriction that the world behind the door placed on his employees became weaker.
There were two sides to everything. Without the protection of the rag doll's head, the black fog started to infiltrate Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2.
But at the same time, without the suppression of the rag doll's head, the influence on Chen Ge's employees also decreased.
Reaching into the backpack, Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder. The tape started to turn, but there was no sound of static.
He took out the comic that was soaked in blood and flipped through it page by page. Finally, when he reached the page with Xiao Bu, he got a response.
The blood vessels curled around his hand like a dancing blood elf. This should have been scary, but it was surprisingly comforting.
"It's Xiao Bu who is helping me." Xiao Bu was very powerful, but the fact that she could help Chen Ge before she completely broke through the restriction of the world behind the door surprised Chen Ge. "My parents once made a promise with Xiao Bu. They wanted Xiao Bu to be my shadow. Could it be that they are interested in some kind of special power that Xiao Bu possesses?"
Based on Chen Ge's parents' plan, it should have been Xiao Bu who was accompanying Chen Ge at that moment, but there was always an accident. The appearance of Zhang Ya should have been something that no one expected.
Putting down the comic, Chen Ge turned to look at the other items in his backpack. Zhang Ya's storybook was still the same as before. The ballpoint pen and some of the other small items had not changed.
"I feel like I'm missing something?"
Chen Ge's expression did not change. His hand continued to reach deeper into the backpack.
At the deepest part of the backpack, Chen Ge found the pair of red high heels.
The shoes were wet like they had just been taken out from a pool of blood.
The red high heels appeared to be close to breaking through the restriction of the rules behind the door!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Ge did not say a word. He maintained his posture and did not look deeper into the backpack.
The red high heels were hidden at the bottom of all the other items, breaking through silently like she was avoiding someone's gaze.
The ghost fetus' real body was inside Xiang Nuan's world behind the door. In other words, this world behind the door was shared by both the ghost fetus and Xiang Nuan. Due to the interference of a Demon God, this world behind the door was very restrictive for other Red Specters, but there was one 'person' who was an exception.
The red high heels had consumed all the curses behind the ghost fetus' previous doors. In terms of curses, the red high heels was the existence closest to the ghost fetus, and she was the Red Specter who understood the ghost fetus the best.
Perhaps she had discovered the ghost fetus' existence, so she did not want to expose herself.
The red high heels was hidden deep inside the backpack. Chen Ge understood it instantly. He was shocked, but his expression did not change at all.
The human and the ghost did not even need to communicate to achieve perfect teamwork.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ge leaned against the wall and started to think silently.
After seeing the child earlier, many memories that did not belong to him appeared in Chen Ge's mind. Most of them were just flashes, and he could not see them clearly. Now, he could only remember the last scene in his mind.
"Why are there always three blood doors in my memory?"
Chen Ge calculated. There was a door at Jiang Yuan Apartments. That should be the door that appeared the earliest in all of Jiujiang. That door was probably pushed open by Chen Ge when he was young. That was the first door.
The second door was the black iron door pushed open by the ghost fetus at the cursed hospital. It gave off a thick smell of disinfectant inside the cursed hospital. The ghost fetus was Chen Ge's shadow, so the door that he pushed open could be considered part of Chen Ge as well.
The third door was related to Chen Ge, and it was the door inside the Haunted House's toilet.
This third door had always been with Chen Ge. It appeared to be the most normal door, but in reality, it was the scariest door. After all, it had once scared Dr. Gao.
The shaking of the building became more and more obvious, but Chen Ge and Wen Qing did not seem to feel it. They were both thinking about their own things. Only Xiao Sun was panicking like an ant on a hot pan.
As the resident behind the door, he acted like a normal person. "Should we consider leaving? When there's an earthquake, everyone will run to the open space. I've never heard of people running to higher ground to hide in the earthquake. "
Seeing that no one was responding to him, Xiao Sun purposely ran to Wen Qing's side. "Are you sure you want to keep hiding here?"
Wen Qing did not answer immediately. She glanced at Chen Ge in bed. "Let's wait for him to recover a bit more. It's too dangerous to leave now."
Xiao Sun wanted to say something, but at that moment, there was a strange sound coming from the living room's iron door.
The sound was hard to describe. It sounded like a centipede crawling past. The sound of footsteps scraping against the iron door made one's scalp go numb.
"Stay away from the door!"
Chen Ge had trouble even walking. Before his employees woke up, the best thing to do was to stay inside the room.
The sound coming from the door became clearer. Xiao Sun and Wen Qing both moved backward.
No one spoke anymore. It was very quiet inside the room. Everyone held their breath.
The rustling sound lingered around the iron door. Finally, it stopped at the door like it had confirmed something.
"It seems to have discovered us." Xiao Sun covered his mouth, and his eyes were filled with fear. The unknown was always the scariest.
A thin layer of black fog seeped into the room through the gap. The outside of the building was very chaotic, but the corridor inside the building was very quiet.
"Has it left?" Xiao Sun leaned against the wall. He was about to move toward the living room door when the doorknob suddenly started to shake violently.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Something kept ramming against the iron door, and a large amount of black fog started to seep into the room!
"All the windows on the top floor have been sealed up with cement. This floor is completely sealed. The only way out is through the living room door." Chen Ge's brain turned quickly. They were now trapped inside this room.
"Chen Ge! What do we do now? "
"Don't keep asking me! I'm already in this state. What else can I do? " Chen Ge had a bitter smile on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly calm. He held the backpack, and his palm grabbed the red high heels inside it.
The high heels that were hidden inside the backpack were covered in blood. They dyed Chen Ge's hand red, but Chen Ge did not seem to mind them at all.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the black patterns on the high heels were crawling into Chen Ge's body. These black patterns were not trying to harm him but were searching for something inside his body.
The backpack blocked their vision, so no one in the room noticed Chen Ge's little action.
The doorknob kept shaking. The door was knocked on, and the sound of rustling became more and more shrill.
Half a minute later, the iron door started to change shape, and the gap between the door and the frame gradually widened.
The black fog dispersed inside the room. Chen Ge's group of three watched as the iron door was slowly pried open. Many wounded faces appeared at the widening gap. They were connected like centipedes, and they all crawled at the gap, trying their best to squeeze into the room.
"All the doors and windows have been sealed! It's over! It's over! " Xiao Sun stood up at the last moment. He pushed everything that could be moved in the room toward the iron door. "You two have to do something!"
His hands pushed against the furniture behind the door. Xiao Sun wanted to hold on a little longer, but he was not as mentally strong as Chen Ge. When he got close to the human heads, his legs started to shake, and he could not muster any strength.
The rustling came again. This time, Xiao Sun could see clearly that the sound came from the human heads. Pure black threads kept crawling out from their orifices. These threads connected them together, and they used these threads to crawl on the walls and ceiling.
"If we cannot hold on, you and Wen Qing should hide inside the bedroom. When the monster starts to attack me, you two can come out and escape through the living room door." Chen Ge wanted to use himself as bait, and at the same time, he wanted to prove something.
"No!" Wen Qing and Xiao Sun said in unison. Neither of them wanted to abandon Chen Ge and run away on their own.
"Do as I say, or we will all die!" Otherwise, everyone will die! "Just as Chen Ge finished, the armoire that blocked the door was pushed over, and the black iron door was pushed open!
"Get out of the way!"
Wen Qing and Xiao Sun retreated to the side. The monster that was made up of more than ten human heads crawled into the room and crawled on the roof.
"Run!"
The black fog rushed into the living room, and the way out was right before their eyes.
Wen Qing and Xiao Sun did not move, but the next moment, someone grabbed Wen Qing's hand, and the invisible force pulled Wen Qing toward the corridor.
"Xiao Sun! Take care of her! I can't run anymore! You cannot die for nothing! "Chen Ge screamed. The monster's attention was focused on Chen Ge.
Xiao Sun wanted to summon the courage to stay, but when he saw the monster's face, his legs turned to jelly. Just looking at it made him feel like he was suffocating.
He retreated, and his instinct told him to stay away from the monster.
"Run!"
After Xiao Sun and Wen Qing left, Chen Ge finally sighed in relief. He sat on the edge of the bed and lifted his head to look at the scary monster, but the words that came out of his mouth had nothing to do with the monster.
"After Wen Qing left, the power that the red high heels feared disappeared. The invisible child that pulled Wen Qing away, was it the ghost fetus? Or was it Xiang Nuan?
"Or perhaps the two of them have become one? Are they unable to separate before they find a new body?
