His breathing became difficult like he had walked into a fog. His body felt like it was wet, and everything before him was covered in a thin layer of red.
Is this the world behind the door?
Chen Ge remembered Meng Nan's order. He did not say anything. With the cleaver and hammer in his hands, he looked around.
The walls, the floor, and the decorations inside Room 3 were the same as the world outside the door.
He turned around, and when he looked back, his heart raced.
The door to Room 3 was open, but the scene outside the door was not the corridor in real life.
The difference was huge. It was a corridor that was clean and tidy.
The mattresses and mannequins on the floor had all disappeared. It felt like someone had been cleaning the hospital behind the door.
Chen Ge silently moved toward the door. He reached his hand out, but his arm did not disappear. The door appeared to be one-way!
Unable to speak, Chen Ge wanted to call for Zhang Ya, but he could not. He forced himself to walk out of Room 3, and when he did, he saw people in the corridor.
They were not the monsters that he had expected, nor were they living or dead bodies. They were mannequins made from pillows and mattresses.
They stood like scarecrows beside the corridor. They had blank expressions on their faces, and it was hard to tell whether they were smiling in pain or happiness.
Why would there be such things in the world behind the door?
Chen Ge had thought that the mannequins inside the mattresses were just a prank, but after seeing them in the world behind the door, Chen Ge changed his mind.
The nurse would feed the patients their medicine every night. She even had a special notebook to record every patient's name and their medical records.
But most importantly, these patients had all passed away in real life, and the mannequins before him probably contained their lingering spirits.
Lingering spirits were much weaker than Specters, but when the number of lingering spirits was more than ten times that of a Specter, even a Specter might not be able to hold them off.
When Chen Ge studied the mannequin, the mannequin with its head lowered seemed to sense something. Its body turned, and its face that looked like a child's sketch turned to look at Chen Ge blankly.
Standing in front of Room 3, Chen Ge's palms started to sweat.
The dummy's body started to move slowly, and Chen Ge raised the Pig Slaughtering Knife.
The two got closer and closer, but the mannequin had no interest in Chen Ge. It wobbled its way down the corridor.
It had no purpose, and nothing it wanted to do. It walked aimlessly, and when it was tired, it would stop and rest against the wall, just like a marionette.
Chen Ge had seen many remnant wills. The reason why remnant wills were formed was because their obsession was too deep to be forgotten, so they stayed in the human world.
However, the lingering spirit inside the fake human's body was completely different. It seemed to have lost its memory, or perhaps it had completely sealed its heart, locking its soul inside its heart.
The mannequin did not attack Chen Ge, so naturally, Chen Ge would not attack it for no reason. He sneaked out of Room 3 and inspected the walls on both sides.
There were obvious scratches on the wall that was shrouded in blood mist. It should have been left behind by Zhang Ya.
He followed the scratches to the second floor. The moment he exited the staircase, Chen Ge almost made a sound.
Mannequins were swaying in the corridor on the second floor. They walked aimlessly, uninterested in the outside world.
There were too many of them. Some of them were lying on the ground, and there were scratches on their bodies. Zhang Ya had probably walked through them.
Without hesitation, Chen Ge headed to the second floor.
Walking among the group of dummies, Chen Ge had a strange feeling that he was the one who was the anomaly.
If he was surrounded by patients, would a normal person think he was the crazy one?
He was not in a good condition. The further he walked, the more difficult it was for him to breathe. His body was heavy like he had been tossed into the ocean and was slowly sinking.
Thankfully, no one attacked him. Chen Ge successfully reached the end of the second floor, and the scratches on his black hair disappeared.
There was a special cubicle at the deepest part of the second floor. Before Chen Ge could search it in the real world, he was chased down to the first floor by the nurse. This cubicle that he had missed was the electroshock therapy room.
He pushed open the door, and the scene inside was different from what he had imagined.
There was only one bed inside the room, and a boy about four or five years old was tied to the bed.
Chen Ge walked to the bed. Comparing it to the picture, he could confirm that the boy was Meng Nan in his infancy.
Why is he here?
A question appeared in Chen Ge's mind. Thinking back to the memory fragments that Meng Nan had left behind, Chen Ge had a bold speculation.
Men Nan's main persona had indeed met with an accident in the world behind the door. It was after he met with that accident that the blood door started to go out of control without the gatekeeper.
The scratches on Zhang Ya's hair had disappeared here, which proved that Zhang Ya had been here before, but there were no signs of a struggle inside the room.
Chen Ge had no idea where Zhang Ya had gone after that. Since he had found Meng Nan's main persona, he planned to start with Meng Nan's main persona. If he could wake this boy up, he would have a clearer understanding of the world behind the door, and he would have one more helper.
That was the ideal situation, but he had no idea what would happen in reality, so he could only take a gamble.
Using the cleaver to cut off the boy's straps, Chen Ge pushed Meng Nan's body lightly.
It was unclear whether the boy was in a deep sleep or unconscious, but no matter how hard Chen Ge shook him, his eyes remained closed.
Unable to speak in this blood world, Chen Ge tried everything he could to wake the boy up.
He had no idea what had happened to the boy, but his mind was racing.
The culprit did not kill the boy but only tied him up inside the electrotherapy room. This meant that the boy was still useful to them, and they would not let the boy die without doing anything.
A crazy thought crossed his mind. Chen Ge silently raised the cleaver above his head. He swung it down several times. His eyes stared at a part of the bed next to the boy's neck, and he stabbed down with all his might!
Clank!
The tip of the cleaver did not touch the bed. About one to two centimeters away from the boy, a hairy hand grabbed Chen Ge's cleaver.
Chen Ge had been on high alert, but he still could not see where the hand had come from.
Pulling back the cleaver, Chen Ge got a good look at the monster.
Without a body, the monster was just a severed hand.
This hand was protecting the boy from harm. To test it further, Chen Ge attacked the boy again.
His every slash was blocked by the severed hand. As the number of slashes increased, the hand started to crack. Just as Chen Ge thought that the severed hand was about to run away, the bed sheet was pulled back, and several severed hands crawled out.
