Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Ge leaned against the wall. He reached into his backpack with one hand and lifted his head to look at the monster on the ceiling.
There was no fear in his eyes, but there was a trace of confusion. He had not seen that kind of gaze from the monster before. They just stared at each other, and neither of them dared to act rashly.
"Wen Qing was saved by an invisible child. If that child is the ghost fetus, then why would he pay so much attention to Wen Qing's safety? With the ghost fetus' personality, he is not the kind of person who would sacrifice for another person's mother. In the worlds behind the other children's doors, he has never gone to save their families. "
Chen Ge thought about it. The most likely explanation was that Xiang Nuan had merged with the ghost fetus, or rather, Xiang Nuan did not exist in this world, and Xiang Nuan was the ghost fetus.
The sound of rustling came from above him. The monster that was made up of human heads crawled on the ceiling. Black threads that emitted a strange smell reached out from the orifices of the human heads.
The monster was much more cautious than Chen Ge expected. Pairs of venomous eyes stared at Chen Ge. It hesitated for a long time before it started to approach this prey that did not look normal.
Foul Odor assaulted his nostrils. The human heads were inches away from him. This scene could scare a grown man crazy, but for Chen Ge, it only caused him to frown slightly.
"The black fog and the ghosts in the red city appear to be different. They give me a completely different feeling." The confusion in Chen Ge's eyes dissipated. Like a zoologist in real life, he was observing an endangered species that he had not seen before.
"Most of the ghosts in the red city have blood stains on them. For Specters, Half Red Specters, and Red Specters, one can tell the power level of a monster from the blood stain and resentment, but the monsters in the black fog are different. Their power has nothing to do with the amount of blood stain. They carry with them a thick sense of hatred and the desire to destroy.
"The nature of a Specter is an obsession. I don't feel any disgust when facing a Specter. In fact, I sometimes sympathize with them, but the monsters in the black fog make me instinctively detest them. They don't seem to have any chance of becoming my employees."
With a lively mind, Chen Ge looked at the monster before him and finally said what was on his mind, "I can't give up on every 'person' so easily. After all the employees wake up, I can try to capture a few monsters in the black fog alive and see if I can help them correct their wrong outlook on life."
Chen Ge himself knew that it would be extremely difficult to do so, but he still wanted to try. This might be another way of interpreting "education without discrimination".
The monsters in the black fog were almost inhuman, but that didn't mean they didn't know how to think. These guys were very cunning.
The human head on the ceiling tried again and again, and it finally confirmed that Chen Ge posed no threat to it. The feeling of being tricked enraged it, and all the human heads that made up its body opened their mouths.
Honestly, the scene before him was very scary. More than ten human heads were twisting around Chen Ge's face. Black threads dangled from the monsters' bodies. They wanted to use the threads to pierce through Chen Ge's body and then curl around Chen Ge like snakes.
Just the thought of this made Chen Ge feel uncomfortable. If he was curled around by the anaconda, he would at most suffocate, but if he was curled around by this monster, the many faces on the monster's body would stick to his body, and the gaping mouths would tear at his body.
"They can't communicate, they don't have any empathy, and there is only evil and destruction in their eyes. Why does such a monster exist in this world? What is the purpose of their existence? " Chen Ge looked at the human head that was almost touching his face. The hand that he had been hiding inside his backpack finally reached out, and in his palm was a red high heel that was covered in blood.
The heel reached before the monster's face. Before the monster could react, Chen Ge had already swung his arm and sent the sharp heel into the monster's face.
"This thing is quite sharp."
This was the first time that the human head monster had been attacked by a weapon like this. Thin threads leaked out from its gaping mouth. All the human heads were like piranhas that had their eyes on raw meat, and they leaped at Chen Ge in a frenzy.
But just as they were about to bite into Chen Ge's body, strange patterns appeared on the red high heel that was stuck in the monster's face.
Every single one of the veins had a victim begging for mercy. If one looked closely, they would notice that all the veins were formed from the twisted faces of living people, containing their most vicious curses and deepest despair.
The black patterns spread on the human head monster's body, and in less than a second, it was as if a large net had trapped the monster.
"Specters do not appear to be able to consume the monsters in the black fog directly. Even killing them is quite difficult." The red high heel had not completely broken free from the restraints of the world behind the door, so she could not leave her possession to appear. This was the only way that Chen Ge could use to deal with the monster in the black fog.
The reason he dared to do this was because when his palm touched the red high heel for the first time, the blood vessels and curse on the heel had voluntarily entered his body to help him find the reason for his weakening.
At the time, he knew that even though the red high heel was unable to leave her possession, she could already use part of her power.
The human head monster writhed in the living room like a giant centipede. Seeing how much pain it was in, Chen Ge took out the other high heel from his backpack and used it to slam into the monster's neck.
"Even though the red high heel can only use a small part of her power, she is an existence that is close to becoming a Top Red Specter. How can a mere human head monster survive for so long?"
Chen Ge did not mean to underestimate the red high heel. He merely thought that the monsters in the black fog were very difficult to deal with. The human head monster could only be considered a more normal monster, and he had seen a large shadow in the black fog before.
The black patterns that covered the human head monster's body slowly tightened. It took a whole ten minutes before the human head monster was completely killed. Its body crumbled, and countless black threads crawled out from its head. They morphed into black smoke and became part of the black fog again.
Picking up the high heel, Chen Ge studied the patterns that were becoming clearer. He knew that the red high heel was about to break free from its restraints.
After the human head monster's body crumbled, the black fog in the room thickened. It gave off the feeling that it was not dead but merely in a different form.
Using Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge noticed some black particles at the spot where the human head monster had been. They looked like the ashes left behind after something had been burned.
"What are these?"
Chen Ge found a thermos flask in the room and placed the black particles inside. He had no idea what they were for, but he planned to bring them back to study them. Perhaps he would be able to discover some secrets about the black fog.
Moving his body, Chen Ge's limbs were cold. His body temperature was very low, but the fatigue that radiated from the deepest part of his soul had greatly weakened.
"After the invisible child took Wen Qing away, my stamina started to slowly recover. Looks like the abnormalities that have happened to me are related to him." Chen Ge's eyes were calm. He had entered the worlds behind the other children's doors. None of the children were willing to help the ghost fetus. They were enemies with the ghost fetus, and in the end, they would become Chen Ge's aid, but Xiang Nuan's door was different.
Ever since he entered the world behind the door, Xiang Nuan appeared to be on the ghost fetus' side.
In real life, Xiang Nuan was a child who did not interact with the world. No one knew what the real him was like. Even his mother did not know him that well.
"Before my employees woke up, I followed Wen Qing. Wen Qing was protected by the ghost fetus, and I was able to avoid some danger. Now that my employees are about to wake up, there is no need for me to stay with them anymore. " Without his employees, Chen Ge was not that much stronger than a normal person, but with the help of his employees, the situation was completely different.
"The power of my employees is my power. I am still myself, but the power that I possess is constantly increasing. That should be my biggest advantage." The power of the Haunted House continued to grow, but Chen Ge did not let this power go to his head. The light of humanity shone around him, and that was something that none of his opponents possessed.
Even the cursed hospital, in order to achieve their own goal, they had completely twisted humanity. Their patients were practically synonymous with monsters.
Someone as smart as Dr. Gao had seen the limit of humanity a long time ago. For his own goal, he had calculated from life to death. He had not only abandoned humanity, he had even given up on his right to be a human.
Chen Ge's power continued to grow, but his path was different from everyone else's. The path that he had chosen was very dangerous. He had basically left his life in the hands of a baleful Specter. How much trust did one have to have to make such a choice?
He tried to shove the high heels into his pocket, but after a long time, he realized that they would not fit, so he placed them back into his backpack.
"The hammer is just a disguise. The real killer move is the red high heels. I doubt anyone would expect my weapon to be a pair of high heels."
Dragging the hammer, Chen Ge rested for a while inside the room. It was not until the building was rammed into again and the tremors increased that he decided to leave.
"That hospital obviously came prepared. They are definitely more prepared than I am. This is going to be a disaster for the ghost fetus."
The hospital had a clear target from the very beginning. It was at Jin Hwa Apartments Block A. When they realized that Chen Ge was messing around, they left immediately to avoid conflict with Chen Ge.
Between the ghost fetus and Chen Ge, their choice was the ghost fetus. They appeared to have been planning for this day for a long time.
Chen Ge's stamina was slowly recovering. The color of blood on the comic became darker. When he pressed the play button on the recorder, he could hear the sound of static.
The employees were about to wake up. The good news came one after another, and Chen Ge's expression slowly returned to normal.
"Zhang Ya is a Demon God, and the cursed hospital probably has a Demon God as well, or something close to one. It will be very difficult for the ghost fetus to use the rules of the world behind his door to suppress both of them at the same time. He won't be able to hold on for long."
With the protection of the red high heels, Chen Ge was not that afraid of the black fog anymore. He slowly walked down the corridor, listening to the intense fighting outside the building.
"Go on, let's see who will have the last laugh."
Walking down the stairs to the first floor, when Chen Ge left Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2, he turned back to take a look.
The rag doll's head was originally hidden inside this building. Behind every door of the building was the ghost fetus' memory. Even though he had turned into a monster, he had not forgotten anything from his past. Whenever he pushed open a door, he would see another version of himself.
"Even the ghost fetus is like this, so why would I forget those important things? Is it someone who doesn't want me to remember those things?"
Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Chen Ge did not hurry to leave. The world outside the building had changed.
The black fog covered everything, but there was a hint of blood in the fog. The whole world behind the door was like an abstract painting that depicted a nightmare. Red and black intertwined, twisting and twisting all the 'people' behind the door.
"Before the world behind the door completely spirals out of control, the ghost fetus will definitely send Wen Qing to a safe place. After Wen Qing is safe, the biggest possibility is that he will come back to find me." Chen Ge thought from the ghost fetus' perspective. "Now is the most crucial moment of his birth. No matter how much interference he receives, his birth will be his main goal."
Until now, Chen Ge still had no idea how the ghost fetus would be born, but he had a feeling that the ghost fetus would come to find him, and his own body was the ghost fetus' best choice.
"There is no need for me to have a direct conflict with the ghost fetus. I can just drag this out slowly."
For the current Chen Ge, the interior of the building that was controlled by the ghost fetus was not as safe as the black fog.
His employees were about to wake up, and the red high heels could still use part of her power. He could protect himself now. He could hide inside the black fog that was not controlled by the ghost fetus until all his employees had broken through the restriction of the world behind the door.
"If the child did not choose to save Wen Qing, I'm afraid most of my body would have been taken over by him already."
Certain things could not be denied. The child cared a lot about Wen Qing.
According to Wen Qing, Xiang Nuan had not said a complete sentence to her, and he had not called her mother once.
But from the child's various actions behind the door, it was clear that in his heart, Wen Qing was irreplaceable.
Walking alone in the black fog, Chen Ge carried his backpack, dragged the hammer in one hand, and held the red high heels in the other. He silently made his way to the green area of the residential area.
Hiding inside, Chen Ge lifted his head to look at the scene that looked like it was the end of the world.
The tall buildings were tilting, and giant shadows were crawling on the outer walls of the buildings. The ground was shaking, and screams of pain came from everywhere in the world of red and black.
Chen Ge was engrossed in the scene when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. He turned to look and realized that the red high heels were bleeding.
"Is someone coming?" Chen Ge seemed to sense something. He whipped his body around, and his pupils narrowed to a point.
There was a child standing behind him. The child was standing in his shadow like he was used to staying in that position.
"Found you."
The boy had his head lowered. Chen Ge could not see his face, but his voice sounded very similar to Xiang Nuan's.
Chen Ge took a step back subconsciously, but he only took one step back when the boy took one step forward.
The distance between the two remained the same. It was like a person and his shadow. No matter how they moved, they would not be able to separate.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Chen Ge did not waste his time anymore. His eyes were calm like he knew something like this would happen. However, the expression on his face was rather complicated. "You were the one who voluntarily escaped. Why did you come back to find me?"
The boy did not speak. He kept his head lowered like he was staring at Chen Ge's shadow.
"Get out of my way. From the moment you escaped, there is no longer any relationship between us."
