The western bungalow was filled with human faces and pictures related to the human body. Being inside it gave off a very strange feeling.
No one had been here for a long time, but there was not a speck of dust. It was very clean like it had been cleaned every day.
The red high heels walked ahead alone. She appeared to have been here before. She walked to the center of the hall with her whole body covered in bandages and stopped next to an indoor fountain.
"Be careful. Guard all the exits later. Do not let anything escape from this place." Chen Ge mixed in with a group of Red Specters and did not feel out of place. In fact, his expression was similar to the rest of the Red Specters.
The smell of blood and medicine thickened in the air. Large blood vessels started to surface on the walls. It felt like the whole building was about to be torn apart.
The faces on the walls started to shed tears of blood. Their eyes slowly turned to stare at the red high heels.
Everything in the house that was related to the human body seemed to come alive. The bungalow revealed its true form. This place appeared to be built from human bodies.
Throughout the whole process, the red high heels did not show any reaction. She stood before the fountain and stared silently at the dried fountain.
Several minutes later, the sound of running water came from the fountain. The few female carvings on the inner wall opened their mouths, and the stench of blood poured madly into the fountain.
The blood that gave off a pungent smell formed a huge contrast to the exquisite carvings on the fountain.
The fountain returned to normal, and the blood splattered everywhere. It seemed to cover everyone and everything in a thin layer of blood veil.
"This Red Specter appears to be planning to trap us," Meng Nan whispered. Even though he was not that powerful, he had seen a lot of things, and his mind was very sharp.
"To trap ten Red Specters, she sure is brave."
The red high heels beside the fountain also noticed the change. She continued to move forward, and with each step, the bandages on her body would slip away.
The strange and scary black tattoos flowed on her body. It was a kind of beauty that could shake one's heart.
Throughout the whole four-star ghost fetus mission, the one who gained the most was the red high heels. She had consumed almost everything that belonged to the ghost fetus.
After exiting the ghost fetus' scenario, she had absorbed and organized the ghost fetus' memory. Even Chen Ge had no idea how powerful the red high heels was now.
When the red high heels got close, the beautiful faces inside the fountain all became twisted. They screamed at the red high heels, and they no longer looked like 'humans' at all.
The cursed tattoos on his body spread out in all directions, and the black threads cut the fountain in front of him like knives.
After the statues shattered one by one, the intertwining blood vessels were revealed.
They were not on the same level, or perhaps the Red Specter inside the bungalow was not using her full power.
"In the end, you still found me."
An extremely unpleasant female voice came from the depths of the fountain. The speaker's throat seemed to have been injured before, and her voice was very harsh.
The blood in the fountain flowed to the sides, and the ground cracked. A monster in red was buried under the mansion.
Her skin was deathly pale, and a few blood-red flowers bloomed on her body. Her entire body was fixed under the fountain by countless blood threads.
"How did you find me?" The monster lifted his head to look at the red high heels, and his lips involuntarily curled into a smile. "My proudest patient."
"Patient?" Chen Ge caught the keyword in the monster's words instantly. He was reminded of the bloody mission related to the red high heels. "Could it be that the red high heels once stayed at the cursed hospital? And this Red Specter is a doctor from the cursed hospital? "
Chen Ge had no idea what the monster had done to the red high heels, but this was the first time that he had seen the red high heels so actively make a move.
The black threads of the curse enveloped the whole bungalow. The black fog completely suppressed the blood fog. The threads curled around the monster's body and directly dragged her out from the bottom of the fountain.
The monster did not resist. She merely laughed like she had lost her mind.
"Do you think it is painful for the patients to be treated? Actually, the ones who suffer the most are us doctors! You can still escape, you still have the chance to escape. But what about us? Once we choose to leave, the curse that the hospital director planted in our bodies will be triggered, and we will not even be able to live as ghosts anymore! "
The shrill voice echoed in the lobby. The red high heels looked at the monster before her with a complicated gaze. There was anger, resentment, pity, and pity.
Chen Ge walked out from the group of 'people' and walked to the red high heels' side.
The Red Specter who was bound by the curse also saw Chen Ge. A blood red flower bloomed in her left eye socket. At that moment, she was using her right eye to study Chen Ge.
"A living human is standing together with a Top Red Specter?" Earlier, the monster's attention had been completely focused on the red high heels, so she did not notice that there was a normal human mixed in with the group of Red Specters.
Initially, she had thought that this was a toy that one of the Red Specters had created, but based on the current situation, this normal human appeared to be the leader of all the Red Specters.
"I don't get it."
"Were you once a doctor from the cursed hospital in Xin Hai?" Chen Ge did not waste time. He cut to the chase. "Answer my questions, and perhaps we can still be friends."
"Are you threatening me?" The flower on her body dripped blood. The Red Specter did not expect that one day, she would be threatened by a normal human.
"Earlier, I heard you say that everyone who worked as a doctor at that hospital ended up with a horrible fate, and they could not even become ghosts anymore?" Chen Ge stared into the Red Specter's eyes. His expression was calm, and there was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Yes, the hospital director planted a curse on every doctor." The Red Specter was now being suppressed by the red high heels. She very wisely did not resist but chose to answer Chen Ge's questions honestly.
"Can this kind of curse be removed?"
"Why are you asking this?" The Red Specter was confused.
"I know a doctor who escaped from your hospital. After he died, he became a Top Red Specter, but the second time I saw him, he had completely lost his mind, and he was hugging the head of the person he loved the most in his arms." Many questions that he did not understand before were slowly being answered. When Chen Ge heard what the Red Specter said, he was instantly reminded of Doctor Gao.
"No one can remove the hospital director's curse. Even if he becomes a Greater Red Specter, he will continue to carry the curse, unless he voluntarily gives up on the curse, or …" A crazed smile appeared on the Red Specter's face. "You can destroy the hospital director's soul."
"Is this curse that scary?" Chen Ge initially thought that after the red high heels became a Demon God, he would be able to easily remove the curse on Doctor Gao. He planned to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Doctor Gao, but from the looks of it, he had been too naive.
"It is scarier than you think. One could say that it is unsolvable. Several years ago, I escaped from the hospital during a riot and came to Jiujiang to open this beauty salon. To deal with the curse, I kept changing my body, but even so, it only delayed the time for the curse to explode. "The Red Specter's lips parted to reveal the flower that had bloomed in her throat.
"What will happen after the curse explodes? Will my soul be destroyed directly? "
"The curse will strip away my consciousness and drive me insane. I will wish I was dead." The Red Specter's description was very similar to what Doctor Gao had done in Li Wan City.
"But you are very conscious now." Chen Ge had many questions that he wanted to ask. The appearance of the Red Specter was too important for him.
"Do you see the flowers that have bloomed all over my body? I have used them to temporarily suppress the curse, but if I move too much, the curse will consume me instantly, and I will lose my mind again. " The blood vessels and flowers on the Red Specter's body had the same purpose as the black chains that bound Doctor Gao. They were there to suppress the curse.
Chen Ge asked many more questions. For some reason, the Red Specter was very cooperative. She told him everything that she knew.
When the Red Specter was alive, her name was Xue Rong. She was the best plastic surgeon in Xin Hai. One day, she suddenly received an invitation from the cursed hospital. The hospital hoped that she could come and help with a surgery.
The high reward moved Xue Rong, but when she arrived at the surgery room at the agreed time, she realized that her patient did not appear to be a human.
This was also the first time that the red high heels and Xue Rong met.
The surgery was not a success, and the red high heels was taken away by the hospital.
From that day onward, she was haunted by the curse. In the end, she became one of the night doctors at the cursed hospital, and the red high heels was the main patient that she was responsible for.
The red high heels was just a Red Specter, but the hospital placed great importance on her because her talent was related to curses, and that was very rare.
Surgery after surgery, failure after failure. When Xue Rong and the red high heels were both numb to it, the riot that Doctor Gao and the ghost fetus planned together happened.
Many patients and doctors chose to leave. Xue Rong also abandoned the red high heels on the surgery table. She stole the most beautiful face of the red high heels and chose to escape alone.
Most of the patients and the ghost fetus hid in Li Wan City. The red high heels went to Li Wan City that night to look for Xue Rong and to find her most beautiful face.
There was a cause and effect, and the broken clues connected together.
Under the gaze of the ten Red Specters, Xue Rong took out a box from her chest. She handed the box to the red high heels with great reluctance.
The pale fingers opened the box. No one saw what was inside the box, but they felt the presence of the red high heels become scarier and scarier.
The red high heels seemed to have found what she was looking for. She lost interest in Xue Rong and returned directly to the comic.
Seeing the red high heels leave, not only Xue Rong, even the other Red Specters around Chen Ge sighed in relief.
"I have told you everything that I know. Can you let me go now?" Xue Rong collapsed in the blood pool. After she took out the box from her chest, she became even weaker. "I'm cursed by the hospital. If you consume me, you'll be affected by the curse as well. The loss outweighs the gain. Why don't we form a good relationship?"
Chen Ge was also considering how to deal with Xue Rong. She was affected by the curse, and if the other Specters consumed her, they might be cursed as well. It was impossible to have her enter the haunted house as an employee. If she suddenly lost control, the visitors would be in danger.
"Ever since I met you, you have been showing weakness. You have not shown your true power at all." Compared to Xue Rong's words, Chen Ge trusted the black phone's judgment more. Xue Rong was an extremely dangerous Red Specter, and she had many hidden powers that she had not used yet.
"If I move too much, the curse will be triggered. At the time, I was indeed very scary. Even I was afraid of myself." Xue Rong's tone suddenly changed. "But even if I lose control, I am no match for a Top Red Specter. Her power is increasing too fast. Based on the prediction of the other night doctors, the curse should be the hardest to break."
"A wise man submits to the circumstances. I need all the information in your mind about the cursed hospital. If you are willing to cooperate with me wholeheartedly, perhaps one day, I will be able to help you lift the curse." When Chen Ge spoke, he did not use any special tone, but it was enough to give off a sense of trust.
"You can convince the hospital director?"
"I wish to try another method." Chen Ge flipped through the comic and pulled Xue Rong into it.
The originally blank pages were dyed red. Flowers bloomed on the beautiful carcass. Xue Rong appeared to have fallen asleep.
"Yan Danian probably did not expect that one day, there would be so many Red Specters residing in his comic." Since Xue Rong could lose control at any moment, Chen Ge had to make sure that there were a few Red Specters in the comic waiting for her.
"Come on, we should go and pick up our next colleague."
In one night, Chen Ge found all nine Specters that he had drawn from the wheel of fortune. This efficiency was many times higher than before.
When he returned to the staff breakroom, the sun had already risen. Chen Ge closed the curtain and prepared to take a nap.
At the same time, inside the hospital affiliated to Jiujiang Medical University, Mr Wang sat up from his bed. He reached out to pull back the curtain to allow the sun to shine on him.
"Mr Wang, are you feeling better?" Zuo Han's voice came from the bed next to him. He was doing push-ups with one hand on the bed.
"My head is still a bit dizzy. I feel like many of my memories are not connected. It feels like I've forgotten something." Mr Wang took out a notebook from the drawer. It was filled with the records of everything that had happened on the day he entered the haunted house, including where he had taken a sip of water. "No, there is a problem with the logic. My memory appears to be lying to me."
"Sir, those things are in the past. There is no need to dwell on them anymore," Zuo Han advised softly.
"You don't understand. That day, I felt like I saw my old teacher, but this part is not in my memory." Mr Wang frowned deeply. He wanted to say something else when the door to the room was knocked on.
Two staff members and a uniformed police officer walked in.
"Mr Wang, the higher-ups have approved your request. You will be able to go to Xin Hai in a few days," one of the staff members said. One of the staff members said, "This is an elite from the city's criminal investigation team. He also participated in the case 20 years ago. I spent a lot of effort to get him to come over from the city's police station. He will accompany you there."
