"Is there any other way? Only Xu Yin's heart is not dyed red. His situation is quite unique, right? "
While Chen Ge was talking, Meng Nan kept his eyes on him. After confirming that Chen Ge did not have any killing intent toward him, his expression softened.
"There are other ways, but compared to the previous two, they are more troublesome." Meng Nan was only slightly taller than Chen Ge's knee, but his tone was like an adult. "A normal Specter needs to possess something to ensure that they do not dissipate over time, but a Red Specter does not have that concern. The reason for this difference is that a Red Specter has a heart."
"Heart?"
"Something that can be called a heart." Meng Nan sighed. "Anger, hatred, or vengeance, when a certain emotion reaches its peak, it will become the heart of a Specter. This heart will support it to leave its possession and remain in the world forever. The Specter behind you has consumed enough ghosts, but he still has not found his own 'heart'. If he can find his own 'heart', he can easily become a Red Specter. "
He glanced at Xu Yin, and there was confusion on his young face. "The Specter behind you is a mixture of many emotions. There is despair, pain, dissatisfaction, and a desire that I cannot understand. It is rare to see so many emotions intertwined on the same soul, and this is a big obstacle for him to become a Red Specter."
Hearing Meng Nan say that, Chen Ge realized that Xu Yin was indeed different from normal Specters. This Specter listened to everything he said and did not ask for anything in return.
At Fang Hwa Apartments, when Xu Yin's body was about to be torn apart, he used one arm to stop the Red Specter from the Society of Strange Tales. Sometimes, Chen Ge wondered why Xu Yin would do something like that. Was it just because he had saved him?
Xu Yin seemed to be forcing himself to believe Chen Ge's every word. He trusted Chen Ge unconditionally like he was trying to prove something.
Chen Ge still remembered the first time he met Xu Yin. At the time, Xu Yin was only slightly stronger than a normal ghost, and he could not even defeat the thin figure from the Society of Strange Tales. However, even at his weakest, as long as Chen Ge gave the order, he would charge forward regardless of the consequences. It felt like he was seeking death.
"The more pain he feels, the stronger he becomes. Perhaps I have underestimated Xu Yin." Chen Ge felt like he needed to have a good chat with Xu Yin, but not here. Men Nan's main persona was very clever. Before he joined the Haunted House, Chen Ge did not want to expose too many of his trump cards.
Meng Nan felt like he had said enough that night. He waved at Xu Yin. "I still have something to do, so I won't be sending you off. See you later." Men Nan felt like he had said enough that night. He waved at Chen Ge. "I still have something to do, so I won't be seeing you off. See you later."
"It's not every day that I'm here. Don't you think your attitude is a bit too cold? After all, I've already saved your life. "Chen Ge led Xu Yin to approach Meng Nan.
"What do you want?" Meng Nan was instantly alarmed.
"Don't worry, I just want to make a comparison." Chen Ge pointed at his shadow. "There is a Red Specter in my shadow. Can you tell how she became a Red Specter?"
Chen Ge had always been curious about Zhang Ya. Due to Zhang Ya's absence, Western Jiujiang's Private Academy's scream index had dropped by one star.
From this, it could be seen that before Zhang Ya consumed the old director and the few Red Specters from the Society of Strange Tales, she was already able to support a three-star scenario on her own.
Meng Nan stared at Chen Ge's shadow for a long time, and his expression suddenly darkened. "I sense a very familiar presence from the Red Specter in your shadow. She should be like me, having pushed open a door when she was still alive."
"Zhang Ya is also a door-pusher?" Chen Ge thought back to Zhang Ya's experiences when she was alive and shook his head. "The place she lives in doesn't seem to have a door."
Hearing what Chen Ge said, Meng Nan's expression darkened. His body slowly melted into the blood fog. "My feeling is never wrong. If she's not a door-pusher, then she must have consumed a door-pusher before!"
As his body slowly disappeared, Meng Nan realized that he was becoming more and more afraid of Chen Ge. This living person was like a moving nest of monsters.
"I'm warning you, don't get any ideas about me. The door-pusher can use two hundred percent of his power in the world behind the door." Meng Nan thought about it and realized that even if he doubled his power, he would still not be Zhang Ya's match, so he changed his tone. "The door at the Third Sick Hall is already riddled with holes by those few madmen. If I'm not here, and there's no one to look after it, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chen Ge had always been curious about the world behind the door, so he followed up on Meng Nan's question. "What will happen? The monsters behind the door will escape into the real world? "
"You're oversimplifying things. This blood red world is filled with various negative emotions and abandoned memories. If the door isn't closed, these things will slowly seep into the real world. As the gap gets bigger, something scary will appear. " Meng Nan led Chen Ge into the room next door. He walked to the window that could not be closed, and the window frame was covered in blood vessels with human faces. "I can't mention their names in the world behind the door, but you only need to know that they are different from normal Specters."
Meng Nan pulled out a blood vessel from the window frame, and the scream of a living person came from it.
He handed the blood vessel to Chen Ge like he was trying to tell Chen Ge something.
He reached out to accept the blood vessel, and when his fingertip touched it, a despairing and painful memory surged into his mind. The owner of this memory was similar to the human face on the blood vessel. He was chased and then brutally murdered.
"Every blood vessel is a cruel memory." Meng Nan leaned on the windowsill and looked out the window. "And this is a completely blood red world."
Meng Nan was trying to tell Chen Ge something, but he did not dare go into detail. Chen Ge did not really understand him, so he could only memorize Meng Nan's words.
Chen Ge still had many things to ask Meng Nan, but the man did not have the patience. Soon, he sent Chen Ge out of the blood door.
Every time the door opened, it would affect Meng Nan, causing him to enter a temporary state of weakness. Chen Ge noted this down, and he felt like this was one of the weaknesses of the door-pusher.
After leaving the Third Sick Hall, Chen Ge walked down the road for a long time before he ran into a kind-hearted person.
After the man dropped him off at a place close to the city, Chen Ge flagged down another taxi and headed toward Mu Yang High School.
