Blood leaked out from the gap, dying the door red. Chen Ge held the hammer with one hand and pushed the blood door open.
The world before his eyes became blurry, and his body was surrounded by a red fog. It felt like he had stepped into a sticky liquid.
Swinging the hammer, Chen Ge took a light breath. The scent of blood rushed into his nostrils, and it made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Every time I enter the world behind the door, I feel strangely anxious like there's something deep inside this world calling out to me."
Chen Ge had Xu Yin follow behind him, and he sighed in relief.
"The world behind the door should affect a Red Specter as well. This place is filled with various negative emotions and the despair of the world. The longer one stays here, the heavier the resentment will be, and the harder it will be for them to find relief."
With Xu Yin with him, Chen Ge felt more confident. He pushed open the doors of the sickrooms, but he did not see Meng Nan's main persona.
"Where did he go?" Chen Ge came to the end of the corridor and saw the electrotherapy room. "When I came here last time, I ran into Meng Nan here."
He pushed open the door, and the cold bed was covered with various red instruments. The wires on the instruments were connected to an old man's head.
Chen Ge looked at it and realized that it looked familiar. This old man was the director of the Third Sick Hall. Due to his terminal illness, he had cooperated with the patient to enter the world behind the door to ambush Meng Nan.
"How have you been, old director?" Chen Ge walked over warmly like he had met someone familiar.
The old man had obviously lost a lot of weight. It was very weak, but even in this condition, when it heard Chen Ge's voice, it opened its eyes immediately.
"You …"
When it saw Chen Ge, it was reminded of the extremely violent Red Specter, and the words that it wanted to say were stuck in its throat.
"What's wrong? Do you have a problem with me? "Chen Ge sat next to the old man's head. His tone was relaxed, as if he was visiting a neighbor.
The old man looked at Chen Ge, who was very close to him. His eyes rolled as if he was thinking of something crooked.
But it soon saw Xu Yin walk out from behind Chen Ge.
Another Red Specter?
His blood-red eyes stared at the old man. The malice in Xu Yin's eyes was not concealed at all. It was as if he would tear all his targets apart as soon as Chen Ge gave the order.
Putting away his evil thoughts, the old man helplessly looked at the two bandit-like fellows in the house. His voice became even weaker. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Where is Meng Nan's main persona? I have some business with him. " Chen Ge was not worried that the old director was up to no good. Even though the old man was full of schemes, in terms of power, he was the shame of all Red Specters.
"He should be on the fourth floor now. The window there is cracked, and he's fixing it." The old man spoke quickly like he was trying to chase Xu Yin and Chen Ge away.
"You should know the consequence of lying to me." Chen Ge knew that the chance of the old man lying to him was not high, but he was a cautious person.
"Why would I lie to you?" The old man's face was about to cry. He had a feeling that Chen Ge was purposely doing this to find a reason to destroy him.
"At least you know what's good for you."
Chen Ge led Xu Yin out of the electroshock therapy room. They walked through the red corridor, walked past the wandering patients, and arrived at the fourth floor.
Once they exited the corridor, Chen Ge noticed that something was wrong. The fog on the fourth floor was thick, and the smell of blood in the air was rather pungent.
"Has there been an accident? Has someone from the Society of Strange Tales been here? " Chen Ge carefully pushed open the doors on both sides of the corridor. When he was about to reach the end of the corridor, he saw a small figure walk out from one of the sickrooms.
The shirt that was dripping with blood formed a great contrast with his young face. He was surrounded by blood fog like he was the source of the fog.
"Chen Ge?" The blood fog slowly dissipated. Meng Nan lifted his head to look at Chen Ge, and he frowned.
Actually, he had no idea why he was frowning, but he instinctively felt that this person was very troublesome.
"I heard from the director downstairs that you're here, so I came to take a look." Chen Ge glanced into the room that Meng Nan had walked out from. The window did not appear to be able to be closed.
"Just say it." Even though Meng Nan looked like a child, his intelligence was much higher than a normal person's. He was a genius, but due to growing up in a mental hospital, his worldview was different from normal people.
"There's no need to be so polite." Chen Ge led Xu Yin toward Meng Nan. "You don't have any family in Jiujiang, so as your only friend, I'm here to visit you. Isn't that normal?"
Stopping beside Meng Nan, Chen Ge squatted down and looked at the face of Meng Nan's main persona.
"We're not friends. I don't have friends, and I don't need one." Meng Nan took several steps back like he was afraid of Chen Ge. "You came to find me because of the Specter behind me, right? His heart is missing a piece, and he's about to become a Red Specter. You can't find a way, so you came to find me. "
Before Chen Ge said anything, the man had already guessed everything.
Meng Nan took another few steps back to maintain his distance from Chen Ge. "A small portion of normal Specters have the potential to become a Red Specter. This kind of Specter usually has a lot of resentment when they were alive. They are very aggressive and have a strong desire to kill. They are the most dangerous and uncontrollable lunatics."
"Aren't you a Red Specter yourself? How come I feel like you don't fit that description at all? "Chen Ge looked at Meng Nan, who was hiding far away, and he had a feeling that the man was afraid of him.
"I'm talking about Specters like him who have the potential to become a Red Specter. People like me who have pushed open the 'door' will become a Red Specter after death." Meng Nan revealed a big secret.
"So, there's such a saying. Doesn't that mean every door represents a Red Specter?" Chen Ge stood up. He had a feeling that he would be able to get a lot of useful information from Meng Nan that night.
"I don't know how the doors are created, but I can confirm that there is at least one Red Specter behind each door." Meng Nan turned to look at Xu Yin, who was standing behind Chen Ge. "For Specters like them, there are only two ways to quickly become a Red Specter. Make them the owner of one of the doors, or have them consume a complete Red Specter. "
"Isn't that a bit too difficult?" Chen Ge shook his head. Neither of these methods was useful to him.
There was a door inside his Haunted House, but he had no idea what was behind it, and he did not dare go in to explore it.
Consuming a complete Red Specter was even harder. In the whole of Jiujiang, other than the Society of Strange Tales, there were only three known Red Specters — the well woman from Coffin Village, the woman from the tunnel, and Meng Nan.
Each of these three Specters was crueler than the last. Meng Nan, who appeared to be the weakest, had many tricks up his sleeves. He purposely suggested this method to test Chen Ge.
