Only when people were at their most desperate and helpless would they be able to push open the 'door'. When the fire came, the boy was stuck in the deformed window. He saw his injured mother and the backs of the people who were running for their lives.
The fire burned his body, and when his flesh and the door were burned away, he finally opened the door that was stuck inside.
His lower body was left inside the car, and his upper body was burned together with the door.
That kind of pain was unimaginable to Chen Ge, so no matter how cruel the boy was, Chen Ge would not step out to criticize him.
No one was born a monster. Even if they looked different, their hearts were made of flesh.
His feet weaved through the 'dead bodies' hanging from the spider webs, and the crack on the boy's body healed. "The shadow wanted to open a door in Li Wan City and let something come out from behind the door. Before meeting me, the madman had done many experiments in Li Wan City. He forced innocent people into desperation and used them to open the door, but those people couldn't open the door even after they died. His plan kept failing, so he turned his attention to me. He wanted to capture me and lock me somewhere in Li Wan City to help him complete his plan. "
"Of course, I refused, so I wanted to kill him." The boy's voice turned dark. He was a cruel person. He would kill anyone who dared to harm him.
"From the current situation, you've failed." Chen Ge poured a bucket of cold water over the boy's head. He was reminding the boy that times had changed, and the shadow was their common enemy.
"Yes, he's very hard to kill." After the boy said that, he looked at Chen Ge deeply. "He's getting stronger, but as long as I'm inside this tunnel, I have the power to protect myself."
Blood leaked out from the boy's stomach. "I can drag everyone who enters the tunnel into the door. There, I can do many things that I can't do outside."
The power of a door-pusher would multiply inside the door, so he had a great advantage. The boy's power to forcefully drag people into the door would be very powerful if used well.
"So, I was pulled into the door by you?"
"Yes, that place is a nightmare that I weaved, and it will forever stay in that day. However, this ability also has a drawback. It can only be used within the White Dragon Cave Tunnel. Once you leave the tunnel, the door cannot be opened. " The crack on the boy's stomach was like a giant mouth, and it looked very scary. "Sometimes, I wonder if it was me who pushed open the door, or the door became me."
The boy's condition was very special. It was also Chen Ge's first time seeing him.
"You've fought the shadow before. Does he have any weaknesses?"
"If I could discover his weakness, I would have eaten him a long time ago. Would I have waited until now?" The boy waved his legs around. He looked very angry. "That madman got stronger every time. I tried everything I could to kill him, but I couldn't. In the end, I planned to trap him in the world behind the door, but I realized that he slowly found the pattern of the tunnel behind the door and almost escaped on his own …"
The boy suddenly stopped. He realized that he had said something wrong and revealed that there was a pattern in the tunnel behind the door.
"And then?" Chen Ge pretended not to hear it and asked casually.
"He failed, but next time, I won't be able to trap him." The boy's body leaned to the side to reveal a large wound on the spider's body. "I fought him not long ago. He was very desperate, like a starving wild dog."
"After you fought him, where did he go?" That was what Chen Ge was curious about. He wanted to know whether the shadow had returned to Jia Ming after he left the tunnel.
"I'm not sure." The boy started to avoid that topic. With Chen Ge's relentless questioning, he only told Chen Ge three things.
Every time the shadow came to find him, its size would change. He suspected that the shadow could change its appearance and size at will.
There was a child's shadow inside the shadow's body. No matter how it changed its appearance, the shadow of the child inside would not change.
The boy could not confirm the last point. He felt like the shadow had a presence similar to Chen Ge's, and that was why he had wanted to kill Chen Ge earlier.
With these three points in mind, Chen Ge confirmed that he could not get any more useful information from the boy, so he turned to the woman in the tunnel.
"What do you want?" Before he could say anything, the boy crawled out from the 'forest of dead bodies' and stood between Chen Ge and his mother.
"After you leave the tunnel, the door inside your body won't be able to open, and your power will drop a lot. So, I wish to ask her to come with me to deal with the shadow. After all, one more person means one more power."
Chen Ge said this matter-of-factly, and it caused the boy to feel suffocated. "Letting you go and giving you so much information is already my bargaining chip, and you still want to take my mother away?"
"If we don't deal with the shadow, the next time he appears in the tunnel, both you and your mother will be dead." Chen Ge's expression was serious. The boy's mind was filled with hatred and resentment, so normally, the persuasion that Chen Ge used on other ghosts did not have much effect on the boy. Therefore, Chen Ge changed his method and used the threat of complete disappearance to 'convince' the boy.
"I won't force you to make a choice, but I hope that you can really think about your mother and yourself." The tone was heavy, and Chen Ge seemed to be reminded of something very sad. "I don't think you want to experience that feeling of despair again, right?"
"Impossible. If we leave the tunnel, she will die, and so will all of them." His feet swept over the dead bodies above him. The struggling souls wailed in pain. Their lingering spirits were restrained by the spider silk, and the boy looked very scary when he was mad.
"Compared to waiting for death, I think it's better to control my own fate." Chen Ge walked past the boy and looked at the woman. "Your child wants to protect you, and you want to protect your child. You can't bear the pain of losing each other anymore. I understand that, so no matter what choice you make, I will understand."
The 'dead bodies' hanging at the top of the tunnel swayed left and right, and the wailing kept coming. After several minutes of stalemate, the woman smiled at Chen Ge and walked to her child's side.
Like a normal mother, she hugged the boy's head. The boy, whose eyes were filled with hatred and venom, appeared very docile at that moment. The few large legs all retracted, and the scary patterns on the spider's body stopped leaking blood.
The woman whispered something into the boy's ear, and then she let go of the boy and walked out of the tunnel.
Chen Ge did not ask too many questions. He had said that no matter what choice she made, he would understand.
After catching up to the woman, the expression on Chen Ge's face finally softened.
"Since I've taken away the mother of the strongest ghost, this three-star trial mission should be considered a success, but the completion rate will probably be very low. If there's a chance, I'll come back in the future. I'll deal with the shadow first, and then reunite mother and son. "
