The scalpel fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Dr. Gao held his chest. As his life slowly slipped away, the black threads in his eyes returned.
"The more resentment the door-pusher has before he dies, the scarier the Specter will be after he dies. Five years ago, I started to nurture the world behind the door. I filled every inch of this land with blood and despair, all for this day." Dr. Gao hugged his wife in his arms. "There is a limit to a person's power, and I've reached that limit. To find her, I need more power."
"So, you've been thinking about becoming a Specter since five years ago?"
"Lingering spirit, Specter, Red Specter, I've been thinking about what's above a Red Specter. Perhaps when I reach that level, I'll be able to do what I want to do." The black threads in Dr. Gao's eyes started to go out of control, and he could not hold it in anymore. "Chen Ge, before I can stay conscious, I want to make a deal with you."
"You want me to help you revive your wife?"
"It's something else. It won't go against your will."
"Tell me." Dr. Gao was not in a good state, and Chen Ge had no idea what this madman would do next, so it was better to agree to the man's request first.
"After you came out from the Third Sick Hall, you should have realized that many numbers in the Society of Strange Tales are related to the number three. This number is very special to me. It represents Third Sick Hall's Room 3, the three people in my heart, and the three doors owned by the Society of Strange Tales. "
"Three doors?" Chen Ge sucked in a breath. Ever since he interacted with the Society of Strange Tales, he had thought that they had two doors, but they had a third door other than the underground morgue and the Third Sick Hall.
"That door is in Eastern Jiujiang's Li Wan City, and it is a door that has completely gone out of control." Dr. Gao's body was shaking, and the threads of despair and negative emotions were swimming in his body. "Everything that the Society of Strange Tales has accumulated over the past five years is behind that door. I can give them all to you."
"Are you kidding me? That door is already out of control. Even if there's something good hidden inside, I'll have to come out alive after I get it. " The fact that Dr. Gao was willing to give away the knowledge that the Society of Strange Tales had accumulated over the past five years was tempting to Chen Ge, but Dr. Gao's words calmed him down.
"This is the deal. I hope you can help me take care of Gao Ru Xue and close the door if you can." Dr. Gao did not seem worried that Chen Ge would refuse. "As a reward, other than the knowledge that the Society of Strange Tales has accumulated, I will also tell you how to close the door completely."
There was also a door at Chen Ge's Haunted House. For him, that door was a hidden danger, and he had been looking for a way to close it. "Taking care of Gao Ru Xue is not a problem. I can take care of her future living expenses, school fees, and employment. However, I need to think about how to close that door."
"You will definitely agree to it." Dr. Gao looked at Chen Ge, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's heart. "Your parents know the person who pushed open the door, and she knows about your parents' whereabouts."
Dr. Gao had borrowed the power of the Society of Strange Tales to investigate Chen Ge's past.
"How do I know you're not lying to me?" The clues about his parents had been cut off. Chen Ge did not expect to get new information from Dr. Gao.
Reaching his hand into his pocket, Dr. Gao took out a picture.
"This is a picture taken by the Society of Strange Tales when they were hunting the door-pusher. The picture was taken one week before your parents disappeared."
The background of the picture was an eerie alley. There were normal buildings on both sides, but they gave off a strange feeling.
A couple was standing with their backs to the camera, and across from them was a little girl in a red dress.
When the picture was taken, the girl seemed to have noticed the photographer. She pointed at the end of the alley and yelled. The couple was about to turn around.
From their backs, Chen Ge could confirm that they were his parents. Dr. Gao had no reason to lie to him.
"Where was this picture taken?"
"Li Wan City after midnight."
"I've been to Li Wan City before. The streets there don't look like this. But for the week before my parents disappeared, they did leave the house every night like they were looking for something. " Chen Ge walked forward to take a closer look at the picture, but his legs were entangled by the black hair. Zhang Ya did not allow Chen Ge to leave her side, as if there was still a hidden danger nearby.
When Dr. Gao saw this, he shoved the picture to Gao Ru Xue. "The door has gone out of control. No one knows what will happen next, what kind of monster will come out from that door."
"Dr. Gao, there's a question that I don't understand." Chen Ge interrupted Dr. Gao. "From how I see it, you don't care about other people's life and death, so why do you want me to close the door? How is that beneficial to you? "
"The door has gone out of control. After you enter the door, you'll know why." At this point, Dr. Gao seemed to have confirmed that Chen Ge would agree, so he explained the method of closing the door directly. "I've confirmed that there is only one way to close the door, and that is to find the door-pusher and make him suffer all the despair behind the door. Then, he will be imprisoned outside the door. The world behind the door will appear because of the door-pusher's despair. After losing the negative emotions, the door will appear longer and longer until it disappears. "
"So, to close the door, one has to find the door-pusher? But what if the door-pusher has already turned into a Red Specter or his soul has disappeared? "
"A Red Specter can still endure the despair behind the door, but I haven't encountered anything like that before." Dr. Gao's voice weakened, and the black threads kept moving in his eyes like they were trying to crawl out from his body. Looking from afar, Chen Ge could feel the pain that Dr. Gao was suffering.
"Take Gao Ru Xue and leave. This world is about to be destroyed. Next, I'll go find another way to close the door."
Flesh and organs fell from above, and the underground morgue started to collapse. The despair and negative emotions that supported this world all entered Dr. Gao's body, and the world started to crumble.
The corridor shook. Dr. Gao touched Gao Ru Xue's head. "Go home. I've already opened the door."
Before Gao Ru Xue could say anything, the woman in Dr. Gao's arms suddenly raised her head to look into Gao Ru Xue's eyes. It was just a simple look, and Gao Ru Xue fainted to the ground.
The woman's body became more transparent. With Dr. Gao's order, she knocked out the two crematorium workers who had escorted Gao Ru Xue.
