No one in the room could understand the girl's words. To make a Specter become a living person's shadow, the person who made this request had to be seriously ill.
Including Chen Ge, everyone found this hard to accept.
"Is this some kind of alternative trade? You become his shadow, and he becomes your puppet. "Meng Nan's speculation was darker, he was thinking from the perspective of a normal Specter.
When the girl in red heard this, she shook her head.
The blood vessels intertwined behind her and instantly covered the whole room, completely isolating the place from the outside world.
Scarlet was very powerful. Even if all the people there worked together, they would not be her match. However, Scarlet did not seem to mean them any harm.
After isolating her room from the outside world, she walked to stand beside Chen Ge's shadow. Her hands morphed into blood vessels and surged into Chen Ge's shadow like she was searching for something.
After searching for a whole half an hour, Scarlet frowned. Lines of bloody words appeared on the wall around Chen Ge.
"I remember there was a ghost living in your shadow, where did she go? Why can't I find her? Have you lost her? "
Facing the consecutive questions from Scarlet, Chen Ge was confused. "There was a ghost living in my shadow?"
"Yes." Scarlet used the blood vessels to weave the words to communicate with Chen Ge. "Those without shadows do not live long, that is what Patient Number 2 said."
"But isn't my shadow following me?" Chen Ge was confused.
"The shadows of all the people and things on Li Wan Street are crooked, only your and Patient Number 2's shadows are normal. This means that both of your shadows are made up by the world and do not exist. Both of you are people without shadows." The bloody words appeared quickly. Scarlet's emotions started to fluctuate when she saw Chen Ge. "You are very similar to Patient Number 2, he helped me recover the memory about my mother. To repay him, I can help you once, but temporarily, I cannot be your shadow. "
Seeing Scarlet offer to help him once, Chen Ge was very happy, but then he thought about it and felt that something was wrong. "Scarlet, what does that Patient Number 2 look like? Why do I feel like he knows me? "
Based on Scarlet's description, Chen Ge had a feeling that Patient Number 2 seemed to be very familiar with him, they should be old friends.
"He didn't say his name. It seems like all information about him is a taboo in this city. Anyone who goes to investigate will be met with accidents and misfortune. He knows this, so he didn't tell me anything." The bloody words appeared on the ground and then disappeared, wiping away all traces of their existence. "If you are really curious, you can go to the underground of the hospital to find him. His real body seems to be locked deep under the hospital. The thing that came to find me that day was only a remnant of his will."
"Deep underground of the hospital?" Chen Ge had just come out of the hospital, he did not know that the hospital had an underground building.
"The most dangerous part of the hospital is all underground. Patient No. 2 seems to be locked in the 17th floor underground. Of course, I don't recommend you go to him now. It's too dangerous under the hospital. " The world described by Scarlet was different from Chen Ge's imagination. If the hospital had a large underground building, then he would have to reevaluate the hospital's power.
But thinking about it from another angle, Chen Ge felt that it was quite impressive that he was able to make such a scary hospital slip up.
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to recover his memory.
The blood around him started to fade. The words that were weaved by blood all disappeared like nothing had happened.
After Scarlet gave Chen Ge her promise, she disappeared from the building. She and Single Eye could be considered as the scariest ghosts but normally, they did not dare show themselves. They always hid in some hidden corner.
"You are indeed a unique person. I thought it would be difficult to convince Scarlet, but it was so easy. In fact, I feel like she is throwing herself at you." Meng Nan spoke in the tone of an oily middle-aged man. After he had his fill, he realized that he was still at Li Wan Street. As if worried that Scarlet would hear him, he quickly looked around.
"There are more and more people who are willing to come with us. When the tragedy comes, perhaps we will really have a chance to fight for our lives." Zuo Han was not as optimistic as Meng Nan and the rest. From his perspective, even if everyone gave everything they had, they would only be able to fight for a chance to fight for their lives.
"Chen Ge, you need to stay at the theme park for the next few days. Paralyze the hospital and buy us some time. Do not let the hospital realize that you have been working with us." Zuo Han's mind was very clear, he knew Chen Ge was the key. "Just leave the task of finding helpers to us."
"Tomorrow night we will go together to meet the Cursed Lady. After the 3 strongest Specters in this city have agreed to help us, I will temporarily stop contacting you." Chen Ge had his own concerns.
"The Cursed Lady is the scariest and most mysterious presence among the 3 Specters, no one knows her exact location. But I once heard from the author that a Zhang Wenyu once saw her inside an abandoned hospital. " Lao Zhou had a serious expression on his face. "She is very dangerous. If possible, I hope we can bring Scarlet with us."
"No way, Scarlet only promised to help us once and that was for the sake of Patient No. 2. We cannot waste such a precious opportunity." Chen Ge rejected him without hesitation. He repeated the name Cursed Lady repeatedly in his heart. There seemed to be a black and red thread connecting the two of them. "Cursed Lady, I will try to convince her."
The few of them agreed to meet at the entrance of an abandoned hospital in Eastern Jiujiang tomorrow night. Then they left in different directions. Even if someone wanted to track them down, it would be very difficult.
When the sun was almost up, Chen Ge returned to the Haunted House.
Even though the Haunted House at Xin Hai Theme Park had temporarily stopped operating, he still carried on with his usual routine. He tidied up the props, cleaned the place and was ready to open for business at any moment. These things appeared to have been carved into his bones. Even though he had lost his memory, his body would still follow its natural instinct.
At 8: 30 am, Zhang Ya arrived at the theme park with breakfast. Her parents did not appear to have come to work that day.
"How come uncle and aunty are not here?" Chen Ge was eating the hot breakfast. Zhang Ya was sitting next to him.
"My father's stomach problem is acting up. My mother is taking care of him."
"Is it serious?"
"It's just an old problem." Zhang Ya tried to make a relaxed expression but her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
"Zhang Ya, did you have another dream last night?" Chen Ge put down the chopsticks. He looked directly into Zhang Ya's eyes. He did not allow Zhang Ya to avoid his gaze.
"Yes." Zhang Ya said with some pain in her voice. "It was that dream again. I dreamt my parents got into a car accident. The present that they prepared for me was soaked in blood. I also dreamt that I was wearing a red dress. I held the bloody present that they gave me and stood alone at the junction in the middle of the night."
Chen Ge did not know how to console Zhang Ya. Based on his speculation, he slowly understood something very cruel.
Perhaps the things that Zhang Ya dreamt were real. In other words, when they shattered the dream, Zhang Ya would lose her parents again. Despair would surround the girl again and drag her down a bottomless abyss.
Chen Ge knew that Zhang Ya liked him, but the person that she liked the most was going to personally tear apart a beautiful dream. That was cruel to anyone.
"Chen Ge, sometimes I am very confused." Zhang Ya's hands were hidden under the table. Her fingers were twisted until they were white. She had trouble breathing when she spoke. "In the dream, when I looked into the mirror, the person in the mirror said something. She said that I have taken away Chen Ge's life, and I am experiencing the happiness that you once had."
"Don't mind that. Live in the moment and cherish the present." Chen Ge held Zhang Ya's hand lightly. He realized that Zhang Ya's hand was very cold.
Initially, when he held Zhang Ya's hand, he could feel the warmth that only a living person could have, but now, Zhang Ya's body temperature appeared to be dropping.
"I have a very bad feeling. I am afraid that I will be separated from them." It was unknown whether it was because of the dream or the pressure in real life, but Zhang Ya's condition was very poor. Only when she was beside Chen Ge would she feel a trace of peace.
The theme park opened at 9 am. Many visitors came to ask about the Haunted House. Some of them had seen the video about the Haunted House on the internet and purposely came from far away. However, when they realized that the Haunted House was not open for business, they all showed a very disappointed expression.
The popularity and visitors that the Haunted House had accumulated slowly disappeared. Reality was like cold water splashing on Chen Ge's body.
At 3 pm, the people from the theme park forced their way into the Haunted House. They inspected the three scenarios and did not find any problems. However, when Chen Ge asked them when they would be able to open the Haunted House again, their answer was still to be decided.
After sending the inspection team away, Zhang Ya called her parents with the suggestion while Chen Ge stood beside her.
He could hear the voice of Zhang Ya's mother on the other end of the phone. She sounded very tired, and the voice of Zhang Ya's father was also very weak.
"Today is the theme park's second inspection, but as the owner of the Haunted House, Zhang Ya's parents did not show up. Perhaps the illness of Zhang Ya's father is not as simple as a simple stomach problem."
Tragedy had arrived, and it was slowly destroying everything that belonged to Chen Ge.
"Now it's Zhang Ya's parents, will it be Zhang Ya's turn next?"
He had once owned something, so when he lost it, it would be even more painful.
Chen Ge did not know what the hospital's treatment plan was. All he could do was endure it silently and gather his strength.
After the sun set, Chen Ge wanted to accompany Zhang Ya to visit Zhang Ya's parents, but it did not seem like it was convenient for them, so Chen Ge did not force them.
After he sent Zhang Ya away, he locked himself inside the staff breakroom.
"After meeting the Cursed Lady tonight, I will not go anywhere else. I will stay inside the Haunted House, hopefully that will be able to delay the arrival of tragedy."
At around 10 pm, just as Chen Ge was preparing to leave the Haunted House, there was a strange noise coming from the toilet on the first floor.
Chen Ge grabbed the mallet. He initially thought it was Zuo Han but when he saw the person before him, his expression was one of shock.
"Doctor Sun?"
His neck and face were covered in scars, his original face was almost disfigured. This doctor who did not even like the doctors at the hospital had come to Chen Ge's Haunted House!
"I only have 1 minute, after that you just need to listen to what I have to say." Doctor Sun knocked on the toilet door and dragged Chen Ge into his brain maze.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not leave the hospital, now the situation has reached a very dangerous stage." After entering the brain maze, Doctor Sun then dared to continue. "The hospital knows about your visit to Ping An Apartment, it was because of this that Chi Longtou's soul was destroyed."
"Since they already know about this, then why didn't they stop me?" Chen Ge was confused.
"I will cut the long story short, before you entered the hospital, the hospital had already conducted an investigation on you but due to certain reasons, they made a serious mistake in their judgment of you! They thought you were using ghosts to run the Haunted House and you relied on using living humans as bait. You did not completely gain the trust of the ghosts and that was why they allowed you to leave the hospital.
"The ghosts themselves are entangled by resentment and coupled with the fact that they have lost their memory, the first thing they would do when they saw you would be to consume you.
"If you were harmed by your former friends, that would only push you deeper into despair and that was what the doctors wanted to see.
"Therefore after they knew you had gone to Ping An Apartment, not only did they not stop you, they purposely allowed you to witness the tenants torturing the doctors.
"Assuming there is no trust between you and the ghosts, then when you saw the tenants torturing the doctors, would you think they are good people or bad people?
"After you have broken up with your former friends, you will be easily manipulated. At that time, the whole world will be your enemy, no one will help you.
"The hospital's setup is perfect but they do not know the relationship between you and the ghosts is not as simple as just using each other. Even if they have forgotten their past, they are still willing to stand with you!
"Both parties have lost their memory but the ghosts still chose to trust you and you are determined to walk with the ghosts.
"If the hospital knew the real relationship between you and the ghosts, they would never have let you leave the hospital.
"But now the hospital has realized they have made a mistake. Next, the hospital will conduct various tests on you, they will push you to your limit, I hope you can remain calm.
"Misfortune has arrived, the hospital will also make their move on Ping An Apartment. You need to inform them to leave Ping An Apartment immediately, do not let them gather together!"
Doctor Sun spoke very fast, he did not give Chen Ge the chance to interrupt. "Tonight is your last chance. After you inform them, do not contact them anymore. Every time you come into contact with them, it will only increase the hospital's murderous intent."
"But if we continue to hide like this …"
Before Chen Ge finished, Doctor Sun cut him off. "The longer you can drag this out, the higher the chance of success for certain things."
"Certain things?"
"Remember my words, do not linger on the false happiness and do not be deceived by the fabricated memories." Doctor Sun grabbed Chen Ge's shoulders. "You are carrying the lives of countless people on your shoulders, every choice you make can drag them all down into the bottomless abyss."
"I know what to do." Chen Ge's eyes were calm but his gaze was deep.
