The ghost fetus had never experienced happiness before, so he did not know what true happiness was. He was merely envious of other people's memories, but he forgot to turn back to look at himself.
When the faceless doctor attacked Jin Hwa Apartments Block A, the rag doll dragged its broken body and started to fight for its life. It did not even know why it was doing that; it was acting on instinct.
The rag doll was already at a disadvantage because it was missing an arm. Now that the faceless doctor had the upper hand, his situation worsened. The wounds on his body increased, and his limbs and torso were shattered several times. He had to rely on the black curses to hold them back together.
When the faceless doctor saw the rag doll start to attack, he confirmed his suspicion. The faces on his red coat revealed a creepy smile. "No. 4, you have something that you care about? Looks like the hospital director was right. You are only the patient closest to No. 1. You are still very far away from him. "
The mad faceless doctor kept using words to interfere with the rag doll. Normally, these words would not affect a Demon God, but if they were cursed, then it would be a different story.
Every sentence was a trap. When a person or a Specter started to doubt themselves, they would fall into the trap.
The foundation of all Specters was their lingering spirit. To shake that spirit was to attack the very foundation of their soul.
The faces on the faceless doctor's coat all revealed a creepy expression. He moved faster, and the curses around him increased. Earlier, he was probably afraid of Zhang Ya and the Past, so he was hiding his true power.
"After I capture the woman in Block A, I will bring her back to the hospital. Everything that you have experienced will be replayed on her. I believe that even if you manage to be reborn, you will come back to find her, right?"
The mouths cracked open, and the shrill voice traveled far. Even Chen Ge and the Past above everyone else could hear it.
Xiang Nuan, who was deeply embedded in the Past's head, shivered. There seemed to be something in his blank eyes. The arms that were bound by the broken limbs and memories slowly tensed. He seemed to be trying to actively control the Past.
Compared to the Past, who blocked out the sky, Xiang Nuan's body was negligible, but he wanted to use his small body to control this ridiculously large monster.
The faceless doctor was already very close to Jin Hwa Apartments Block A. He used the threat of Wen Qing to get closer to the tallest building as he tried to kill the rag doll.
This monster from the cursed hospital was very greedy. On one hand, he wanted to control Wen Qing, but on the other hand, he wanted to use this rare opportunity to heavily injure the rag doll. He appeared to be coveting this body that the ghost fetus had once used.
The rag doll alone was obviously not enough to stop the faceless monster. Xiang Nuan wanted to control the Past, but he did not appear to be able to do that.
Everything that the Past was doing was to consume everyone in Jiu Hong Apartments and Jin Hwa Apartments. The Past that was formed from countless memories and the impurities in the black fog did not want to ruin its original plan for the sake of Wen Qing.
The faceless doctor was rapidly approaching Jin Hwa Apartments Block A. Zhang Ya was also protecting Chen Ge as they approached the building.
Chen Ge was not planning to use Wen Qing to threaten the ghost fetus. What he was thinking about now was to protect his own employees.
Everyone had something that they wanted to protect. Naturally, Chen Ge was no exception, even though normally, he was the one being protected.
With Zhang Ya's escort, Chen Ge rushed into Jin Hwa Apartments Block A ahead of the faceless doctor. The rag doll's arm was guarding the apartment building. The building was not invaded by the black fog, and overall, nothing had changed.
Chen Ge was not stopped when he entered the building, but when Zhang Ya prepared to enter the building as well, the rag doll's broken body let out a shrill scream. It sounded like it was trying to tear its own vocal cords apart.
After making that sound, the rag doll's movement slowed down, and its power continued to drop.
Strangely enough, after the Past heard the rag doll's scream, its large body started to slowly turn around.
As the rag doll continued to weaken, the light in Xiang Nuan's eyes seemed to be growing, and the confusion in his eyes lessened.
The Past slowed down the speed at which it strengthened the prison. The interval between the heartbeats lengthened. It started to focus its attention on Zhang Ya. It appeared like if Zhang Ya dared to enter Jin Hwa Apartments Block A, it would launch a frenzied attack.
Zhang Ya did not act recklessly, but her eyes were glued to Chen Ge inside the building.
There was no black fog inside Jin Hwa Apartments Block A, but one could still hear the heartbeat that came from underground.
Chen Ge hugged his backpack, and his fingers gripped his chest tightly. The feeling of heartache was hard to describe. It felt like his heart was going to be ripped out of his body at any moment.
"Calm down, calm down!" With cold sweat dripping down his forehead, Chen Ge tried to think back to where Wen Qing's heartbeat had come from. "Wen Qing appears to be on the top floor, and the heartbeat came from underground. The top floor is the furthest away from the ground, so the influence should be the weakest! The ghost fetus must have thought of this, and that is why he sent Wen Qing to the highest floor! "
Rushing into the stairwell, Chen Ge stumbled his way up to the top floor. The heartbeat kept disturbing him. His fingers that were pressed over his heart had turned white.
Using both his arms and legs, Chen Ge gasped for air. When he reached the fifth floor, the influence of the heartbeat on him weakened slightly.
"It's working!"
The condition of the employees inside the comic had improved, but Chen Ge did not dare let his guard down because the heartbeat that came from underground was still getting stronger.
If he did not stop it from the root, even if he hid at the top of the building, it would be pointless. The ghost fetus had spent more than ten years to set up this trap. From the very beginning, it was prepared to consume everyone. It would not leave a blind spot for him to hide in.
At the time, it hated everything, so it would not have expected that it would one day care about a certain person.
Chen Ge climbed higher. He was thankful that he had cleared out all the crazies inside the building, or else they would have become his obstacles.
Without wasting any time, Chen Ge climbed to the seventh floor. At that moment, a loud crash came from outside the building. The building shook violently again, and Chen Ge almost fell down the stairs.
Looking out the window, Zhang Ya was once again engaged in battle with the Past, but this time, Zhang Ya did not take the attack head-on. She made full use of her advantage of agility to avoid most of the damage.
Without Chen Ge to hold the Past back, it would be very difficult for the Past to really hurt Zhang Ya.
The various forces fell into a stalemate again. If this dragged on, it would be very beneficial to the ghost fetus. In the end, it would be able to achieve its goal, which was to turn all the humans and Specters, including the two Demon Gods, into nutrients for its rebirth.
With the sacrifice of the three Demon Gods, if the ghost fetus could be reborn, then even if its body was still flawed, it would be an extremely scary existence. Perhaps it would really be able to break through the boundary between life and death.
Everything was still progressing according to the ghost fetus' plan, but its seemingly meticulous plan had many flaws, and these flaws combined to cause a certain part of the plan to go awry.
The rag doll, whose power was weakening, tried its best to stall the faceless doctor, but without an arm and a heart, and under the influence of Chen Ge, it ultimately failed.
The body that was pieced together from the trash pile was broken apart again and again and reassembled again and again. The rag doll was very familiar with this process. Ever since it became the shadow's host, it had repeated this process almost every day.
For other people, the pain of having their bones crushed and their hearts torn apart was nothing for the rag doll.
It would never give up because of pain. It told itself that the rag doll could not feel pain.
No matter what happened, it would grit its teeth and reassemble its body.
Until one day, when all the curses inside its body were severed, and the connected body was taken over by the curses of other Demon Gods.
The wounds on its body could not be healed anymore. The button that was sewn on its face slowly slid off, and it slid down the building and fell to the ground.
This body that had been reassembled so many times finally crumbled on this day.
Its head was severed by the most familiar curse. It looked at the faceless doctor's smile and the dead body of the bird in its right hand.
Its vision slowly turned, and it finally turned to look at Jin Hwa Apartments Block A.
The sewn mouth tried to open. The black rain fell on its face, and the rag doll's head finally fell next to the button.
When the rag doll was defeated by the faceless doctor, Jin Hwa Apartments Block A started to shake violently. Endless black fog rushed into it, and the arm that guarded the building lost its function.
The black fog roiled. When Chen Ge saw the fog rush into the building, he knew what had happened outside. The body that the ghost fetus had once used had been destroyed.
The body that had witnessed all of the ghost fetus' pain had been torn apart by the faceless doctor. The trash that was stuffed inside the rag was scattered everywhere.
"There is no way to use it again? Did it leave everything behind for the 'Past' before it died? " The faceless doctor had 'killed' the rag doll, but his expression was dark. "Patient No. 4 would rather give everything to the monster in the black fog than leave anything behind. Is he really that confident that he will succeed this time?"
The faceless doctor did not find what he was looking for in the rag doll's body. He seemed to have thought that the ghost fetus would leave him a way out. As long as there was something left behind by the ghost fetus inside the rag doll, the rag doll would be able to recover, but he seemed to have guessed wrong.
The angered faceless doctor turned his gaze to Jin Hwa Apartments Block A that was shaking. "The person that No. 4 cares about is there. If I can capture her, I will be able to gain the upper hand. I can also use her to curse the ghost fetus and escape from this predicament."
The faceless doctor did not plan to fight the 'Past'. He glanced at Zhang Ya, and his eyes darkened. "With her dragging the 'Past', I sure am lucky this time."
This was a rare opportunity. After the faceless doctor killed the rag doll, he rushed toward Jin Hwa Apartments Block A.
With the rag doll's' death ', no one was able to stop the faceless doctor. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Block A, Chen Ge, who was about to reach the roof, screamed madly at Zhang Ya.
"Lure the monster to the doctor! We have to destroy the heart that is underground! "
Zhang Ya understood what he meant. In reality, even without Zhang Ya's guidance, the 'Past' had already locked onto the faceless doctor. Zhang Ya only very sensibly moved to the side.
The faceless doctor, who saw this, wanted to tear Chen Ge's mouth open, but there was no turning back. He had already discovered Wen Qing, and he was very close to Wen Qing!
After the rag doll died, Xiang Nuan, who was deeply embedded in the 'Past's' head, was slowly recovering his rationality. The light in his eyes was brightening.
At that moment, the Past's enormous body was lying between Zhang Ya and the faceless doctor. Its size was so large that it needed a certain amount of time to even wiggle its body.
Now the faceless doctor was getting closer and closer to Wen Qing. Zhang Ya listened to Chen Ge's suggestion. The sea of blood seeped into the ground, and her black hair tore the ground open like a wave. Soon, she found the source of the heartbeat.
The old shell that the Past could not escape from was buried underground. At the place where the shell was connected to the upper body, there was a blood red heart beating. That was the heart that the ghost fetus had when he became a Red Specter!
This was a black heart. Part of it was wrapped in a thick shell. It was bound tightly by the heavy and painful past, and it was unable to escape.
The other part was wrapped in blood vessels. They merged into the upper body of the 'Past', and countless blood vessels extended out from the heart.
The blood vessels connected all the buildings and the ground of the residential area. With each beat of the heart, the blood vessels would consume the ghosts that were killed in the residential area.
The more ghosts it devoured, the more blood-red parts of the heart became. However, the heart was simply too big.
The ghost fetus had converted all the ghosts that it had consumed into energy to break free from the shell. Based on the normal speed, it would take him a very long time to turn the heart completely red.
Other than that, the more the monsters in the black fog consumed, the bigger the Past's body, the bigger the heart, and the more black parts.
Just like what they were experiencing now, one day, they would become a thing of the past.
Zhang Ya found the source of the heartbeat. The city in the sea of blood under her feet became clearer. She seemed to be planning to destroy this heart directly.
According to the ghost fetus' original plan, the rag doll would first hold back the monster from the cursed hospital, and then the scary 'Past' would kill Zhang Ya and obtain Chen Ge's complete body. At that point, it would be invincible. Then, it would gather all its power to slowly torture the monster from the cursed hospital to death.
This was a perfect plan, but unfortunately, there was a change.
The rag doll died, and the Past was stuck between Zhang Ya and the faceless doctor. Now it had to make a difficult choice.
Zhang Ya was about to destroy the Past's heart, and the faceless doctor was about to capture Wen Qing and use the Demon God's curse on this normal human. The Past had to make a choice between its own heart and Wen Qing's!
'I' would die, or 'she' would die.
After a short moment of hesitation, the large 'Past' turned to bite at Zhang Ya again. But when it made this choice, Xiang Nuan's eyes, which were deeply embedded in its head, started to bleed!
His hands were like the wings of a bird. They escaped from the Past's large body and reached toward Wen Qing!
"Trash wants to obtain happiness, but it does not know what happiness is …
"Trash does not understand words that involve human emotions, so I can only teach it from a different perspective.
"Unhappiness is a kind of illness, and unhappiness is like a small cut on the heart …
"To obtain happiness, you first have to create misfortune …
"Trash chose a bird. With my help, it removed the bird's wings. Blood soaked the feathers, and the bird was crying.
"Under Trash's care, the bird's wounds healed, but it lost its wings and the sky forever. I told Trash, this is the price of happiness.
"To obtain happiness, one has to lose something. It is very fair.
