The eyeball that Chang Wenyu had given him did not fit anywhere. Chen Ge gave it some thought and decided to give it to Meng Nan.
Of all the Red Specters, Meng Nan had the highest IQ and EQ. Sometimes, Chen Ge would give him some personal responsibility.
Therefore, he was not worried that Meng Nan would temporarily take care of the eyeball.
Chang Wenyu is currently at her weakest. She does not dare stay around me for too long. Whenever she finds a chance, she will leave. Looks like she still does not trust me completely. She is worried that I will let the other Red Specters consume her.
Trust was something that needed to be built slowly. Chen Ge believed that if he was given enough time, he would be able to gain Chang Wenyu's trust.
The sky was starting to brighten, but Chen Ge did not leave. He wandered around the abandoned school for a while.
"The Red Specters inside this abandoned school and the Red Specters inside the Cards Tower are much stronger than normal Red Specters, but there is no 'door' in their scenarios. Is it because their despair is not enough to push open the door?"
There was no definite connection between a Red Specter and a door. The door-pusher had to be a Red Specter, but not all Red Specters had their own door.
Chen Ge initially did not think too much about it, but now that he thought about it, he felt like something was wrong.
Could the door be unique to Jiujiang?
Entering the classroom where the Red Specters first appeared, Chen Ge saw that familiar sentence on the table where the Red Specters used to be.
"This is a sickened world. Why haven't you realized that? I will definitely cure you! "
This sentence was carved on the table. It was like some kind of psychological suggestion, and it kept appearing before Chen Ge's eyes.
After some time, Chen Ge could not forget this sentence.
It's the same sentence, but the handwriting is completely different. They are written and carved by different people, but why would they leave behind this sentence?
Unable to understand it, Chen Ge summoned his employees and hailed a cab to return to Nightmare Academy.
"I'm going to take a nap. You guys go ahead." Chen Ge said goodbye to the staff and entered the principal's office.
Chi Ren had been staying in the house all this while. He was very bored and was using poker cards to build a tower.
"You'll be safe in a few days." Chen Ge entered the cubicle, hugged his backpack, and fell asleep immediately. Without having to worry about the Haunted House and the visitors, he had a good sleep.
At noon, Chen Ge woke up to buy lunch for himself and his living employees before leaving the Haunted House.
For him, Xin Hai was an unexplored treasure trove. He wished that he could capture all the baleful Specters and Red Specters in one fell swoop.
"After I deal with the cursed hospital, should I take the train to various cities to spread my goodwill?"
Of course, Chen Ge was just thinking about it.
Using the daytime to sort out the clues and information, Chen Ge planned to wait until nightfall before going to investigate on the spot.
Before he had a direct conflict with the cursed hospital, he needed to find a way to increase the power of his own side.
At 6 pm, the employees were still discussing the future plans for Nightmare Academy, but as the boss, Chen Ge had already run to the countryside of Xin Hai.
It was another sleepless night. Chen Ge planned to feed the Red Specters that he found to the red high heels first to help her become a Demon God.
However, she rejected Chen Ge's kindness. As a Top Red Specter with a curse type, consuming other Red Specters would not help her improve. Only consuming more despairing and evil curses would help her.
In other words, the red high heels knew very well that the key for her to become a Demon God was inside the cursed hospital.
The red high heels did not need to consume Red Specters, so Chen Ge planned to pour all his resources onto Xiao Bu.
Xiao Bu, who could unleash the power of a Top Red Specter behind the door, was extremely talented. She was the shadow chosen by Chen Ge's parents and the door pusher that the ghost fetus valued the most.
After consuming a Red Specter, Xiao Bu fell into a deep slumber.
With her power level, she should be able to wake up in at most one night.
When Xiao Bu fell asleep, Chen Ge handed the Red Specter that he found to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin was not as powerful as the Tunnel Lady's son, and he was not the strongest Red Specter, but Xu Yin's heart was very unique.
With every heartbeat, some black patterns would appear on his heart. The patterns appeared to be the imprint of his memory, and they contained an indescribable power.
The other Red Specters' hearts were like the source of power, but Xu Yin's heart was like a seed that was growing.
After consuming a Red Specter, the patterns on Xu Yin's heart spread to his chest. To Chen Ge's surprise, even after Xu Yin consumed a Red Specter that was as powerful as him, he did not fall into a deep slumber.
As long as Chen Ge pressed the play button on the recorder, Xu Yin would appear.
"Xiao Bu and Zhang Ya will fall into a deep slumber after consuming a Red Specter of the same level, so why is Xu Yin so special?"
Chen Ge tried to ask for the reason, but Xu Yin did not say a word. It was as if the man himself did not know the reason.
At 3 am, Chen Ge had already investigated eleven ghost stories. He had organized the information that day and came up with the shortest route.
Just as he was about to go to the twelve ghost stories, the sky over Xin Hai's countryside was strangely dyed red like a bloody hole had been torn open in the night sky.
Initially, Chen Ge did not think much of this phenomenon, but when he used the wedding ring on his finger and realized that Xiao Sun's location was right under that patch of darkness, he started to panic.
"Brother Sun has made his move so soon? I've only sent it to him two days ago. Won't I be exposed if I act too hastily? "
Xiao Sun's pace was too fast. Chen Ge was still in puberty, and the cursed hospital appeared to have some kind of problem.
"There's no point in worrying. I should focus on my own matters first." The population of Xin Hai was several times that of Jiujiang, so there were many ghost stories. However, most of them were made up, and only a few of them had real Specters.
For a professional like Chen Ge, sometimes he could tell whether a ghost story was real or fake from the description of a ghost story.
Even so, Chen Ge had been tricked several times.
In two nights, he had investigated twenty-five ghost stories in total, and eight of them were fake.
However, of the remaining seventeen ghost stories, there were five Red Specters, and that was quite a scary probability.
The thing that worried Chen Ge even more was that the five Red Specters that he encountered were all in a crazed state. Each of them was cursed, and the sentence that said the world is sick could be found in every scenario that they were in.
Now, Chen Ge had a feeling that the sentence itself might be a curse. All the Red Specters, Specters, and humans that received the sentence had lost their minds.
After two nights of hard work, Chen Ge was quite satisfied with his reward.
Of the five crazed cursed Red Specters, two were used to awaken Chang Wenyu, one was fed to Xiao Bu, and the remaining two were given to Xu Yin by Chen Ge.
As he continued to consume Red Specters, the change on Xu Yin's body became more and more obvious. The black pattern that crawled out from his heart stuck to his skin like a second piece of clothing, and it gave off a sense of extreme danger.
Of all the employees, other than Xu Yin, there was another employee who had changed a lot, and that was Zhang Yi.
For a very unique Specter like him, if he became a Red Specter by consuming Red Specters, it would seriously affect his talent, and it would not be worth it.
Therefore, Chen Ge did not have Zhang Yi consume Red Specters but handed him the Half Red Specters that he encountered.
Before consuming the two Half Red Specters, Zhang Yi asked Chen Ge to call Fang Yu, and then he chatted with Fang Yu for a long time.
This was the first time he had actively chatted with Fang Yu. They had traveled through life and death, memory, and the past.
Chen Ge had no idea what Zhang Yi and Fang Yu were talking about. He only saw Zhang Yi's body become more and more transparent, and just as he was about to disappear, a drop of blood gushed out from his heart.
Zhang Yi's power was to erase memories, but he could not recover memories that had already been erased.
Thankfully, even though Fang Yu had forgotten all the memories about Zhang Yi, she did not forget the feeling of Zhang Yi's existence.
She stubbornly waited in that park for ten years and tattooed Fang Yu's name all over her body. She did not want to let go, and finally, she touched the person that she had been waiting for.
Ten years ago, Zhang Yi had saved Fang Yu, and ten years later, Fang Yu had become Zhang Yi's savior.
After consuming the two Half Red Specters, Zhang Yi fell into a deep slumber. The drop of blood in his heart slowly spread until it formed a name that was branded into his heart.
Fang Yu tattooed a name all over her body, and Zhang Yi carved a name into his heart. Crossing the distance between life and death, they chose to use this method to remember each other.
"When Zhang Yi wakes up, he should be a Red Specter. His talent will definitely become stronger, and perhaps he will even gain a new power." Zhang Yi's talent was powerful, and Chen Ge had high expectations for that.
With that in mind, he glanced at the comic helplessly.
Danian was still hiding inside the blank page. He ignored the outside world and focused on drawing his own comic.
After Chen Ge captured the cursed Half Red Specter, the first person that came to his mind was Yan Danian.
He had the red high heels control the Half Red Specter and placed the Half Red Specter and Yan Danian on the same page of the comic. Then, something that no one expected happened.
One of them curled up in the corner, and the other leaned against the wall. The picture was quite harmonious.
Yan Danian had never harmed anyone after his death, and he had never consumed a Specter. He was very against this.
Chen Ge tried his best to persuade Yan Danian, but he was unable to take that step. In the end, Chen Ge could only give up.
After the old headmaster of Mu Yang High School passed away, he had not consumed a single Specter, but he had become a Half Red Specter. From this, it could be seen that there were many ways for a Specter to become stronger, and it was not limited to consuming other Specters. However, compared to other methods, consuming Specters was much faster.
Actually, Chen Ge had also noticed that after Yan Danian had been following him for several months, the presence that he gave off had been growing stronger. However, because Yan Danian was too dispirited and lacking in confidence, he barely left the comic, so not many people noticed the change in him.
He suspected that the increase in presence on Yan Danian had something to do with the various Red Specters that he had been stuffing into the comic every day.
Any normal item would not be normal if it was occupied by ten Red Specters every day.
The comic was originally Yan Danian's possession, but now every page was filled with various Specters. As time went by, Yan Danian's power increased mysteriously as well.
Chen Ge could sense that Yan Danian's power was increasing, but the speed was too slow. He needed to go to the cursed hospital soon, so he had to turn Yan Danian into a Red Specter as soon as possible.
He had high hopes for Yan Danian. After all, when he was at the School of the Afterlife, the painter had said that Yan Danian's talent was above his.
Thinking about the painter who had used his own power to build a heaven in the world behind the door and then looking at Yan Danian inside the comic, Chen Ge felt helpless.
"Danian, if you're hungry, just say something."
After summoning all the employees back into the comic, Chen Ge waited until dawn to return to Nightmare Academy.
He had not slept that night, and he was about to go back to rest. When he opened the door to Nightmare Academy, he saw the living employees standing in the lobby.
"You're waiting for me?" Chen Ge soon realized that something was wrong. Other than the living employees, there were a few police officers there. He had met one of them when he came to Xin Hai the last time. The man's surname was Cai.
"Mr. Chen, don't be so nervous. We just have some questions for you." The leading officer walked to stand before Chen Ge. "The night before yesterday, the Cards Archway at the old city collapsed. We saw your figure on the surveillance outside the street. I am curious why you would appear at that place at that time."
With so many police officers there, Chen Ge immediately realized that the Xin Hai police had discovered the dead bodies inside the Cards Archway.
"Even if you didn't come to find me, I would have gone to find you." Chen Ge's expression was even more serious than the police officers. "Some things are not convenient to say here. How about we go back to the police station to discuss them?"
"Go back to the police station?" The leading officer shared a look with his colleague next to him. They were just going through the routine, but the man had volunteered to go back to the police station. Wasn't he being a bit too aggressive?
"Trust me, I really have something very important to tell you." Chen Ge emphasized it again and again. The few officers finally decided to bring Chen Ge back to the police station.
Seeing Chen Ge leave with the police, Zhang Jingjiu signaled for Qu Changlin and Xiao Die to go back to their work. "Don't just stand there. Go do what you need to do."
"Brother Jiu, the boss has been taken away by the police! You are too calm! "Xiao Die was very worried." Could something have happened to the boss? "
"It's pointless for you to worry. We need to trust the boss, and slowly … we'll get used to it."
After getting into the police car, Chen Ge's expression became even more serious. He squeezed into the back with two other officers, and it made the two officers feel quite uncomfortable.
"The night before yesterday, why did you appear near the Cards Archway?" Captain Cai was curious, and he desperately wanted to know the answer.
"Other than the Cards Archway at the old city, the night before yesterday, I also went to the skyscraper at the new city, the development zone at the countryside, and the barren land around the city." Chen Ge had taken a taxi to these places, so it was easy for the police to track him down. Therefore, he decided to tell them directly.
"Why did you go to so many places so late at night?"
"It was not just the night before yesterday. Last night, I also went all over Xin Hai's old city and the countryside. I did not get any sleep for two whole nights." Chen Ge was aggressive. He was the one being questioned, but he acted like he was the one being questioned.
"Why did you go to those places?"
"I was investigating the whereabouts of a doctor. His surname is Fang." Chen Ge grabbed Captain Cai's hand. "The situation is more serious than I thought. I might need your help."
