The glutton monster was large in size, but her heart was very small. It was like a blood red gem, crystal clear, without any impurities.
"Such an ugly monster actually has such a pure heart."
Chen Ge reached out to grab the glutton monster's heart. He wanted to study what a Red Specter's heart was, but when his fingertip touched it, a wave of negative emotions rushed into his mind.
The blood vessels all over his body bulged, and an indescribable hunger roiled in his mind, making him wish he could eat himself.
"I'm so hungry!"
A hysterical voice finally escaped from Chen Ge. He took several steps back before he came to.
"Just how many Specters and living humans has this thing consumed?" Gasping for air, Chen Ge's back was drenched in sweat. He held his hands, and he did not dare touch the Red Specter's things anymore.
"The glutton monster's heart is to consume, to feed without limit." Chen Ge understood why Xu Yin did not consume the glutton monster's heart directly. This thing was not something a normal Specter could control. "When I killed Xiong Qing, Xu Yin gave Xiong Qing's heart to Bai Qiulin. I wonder if Bai Qiulin will be affected by Xiong Qing."
Sensing Chen Ge's gaze, Bai Qiulin thought that he had something to do, so he carried the dying boy over.
Contrary to Xu Yin, Bai Qiulin's body only had his heart dyed red.
"Ol 'Bai looks normal. Perhaps because Xiong Qing is too weak, it did not affect him." Chen Ge opened the comic and pulled the boy into it. He planned to slowly interrogate the boy about Xin Hai Hospital after the Trial Mission was over.
After dealing with the boy, Chen Ge turned to look at the heart in Xu Yin's hand.
He could see that Xu Yin was under a lot of pressure just to hold the heart. If he consumed it, there would be problems. Furthermore, Xu Yin did not show any intention of consuming it. He did not want to consume other people's hearts; he wanted to find his own.
"What should we do?"
The glutton monster's heart was the most important reward. It contained everything about the glutton monster. With it, he could even cultivate another Red Specter who could control gluttony!
This thing was too precious. Even the shadow and Dr. Gao would be tempted.
"With the heart in his hand, Xu Yin will need to divert some of his energy to resist the negative emotions in the heart. If he encounters danger later, it will affect his performance."
They were in danger, and Xu Yin was Chen Ge's main fighting force. Letting Xu Yin hold onto the glutton monster's heart was a waste.
"Other than him, who else could withstand the negative emotions?" Chen Ge asked Bai Qiulin to give it a try, but the man only lasted for a few minutes before his expression became abnormal. It was obvious that he was affected by the desire for gluttony and was showing signs of losing control.
"Are we going to give away the good stuff that we've already obtained?" The red high heels probably desired the glutton monster's heart a lot. Giving it to her would be a good sign, but Chen Ge felt like that was too much of a waste.
"The difference in level is too big. A normal Specter would have their soul disintegrated after consuming this heart. Only a Red Specter can withstand the desire for gluttony."
Chen Ge looked at the beating heart in Xu Yin's hand. The red heart was buried deep inside the mountain of flesh, untouched by the curse.
"Xu Yin will only be a burden. Now, I'll have to let Zhang Ya give it a try." He called Xu Yin over to the candle and had Xu Yin place the glutton monster's heart on his own shadow.
Ever since he entered Li Wan City, Chen Ge's shadow had been changing bit by bit. He only noticed it when he was screaming Zhang Ya's name earlier.
He had no idea why Zhang Ya was doing this, but he believed that Zhang Ya would not harm him.
The candle's light fell on Chen Ge's body, and strangely enough, the shadow that was projected was the shape of a woman.
Chen Ge looked at his own shadow silently, but Xu Yin did not want to get close. After getting Chen Ge's permission, he placed the glutton monster's heart on Chen Ge's shadow.
Strangely enough, once the heart that looked like a gem left Xu Yin's hand, it started to beat violently, and soon, the shadow of a woman appeared on top of the heart.
Chen Ge had seen this woman in the boss's room before. It was his mother, the real appearance of the gem monster.
"So, she still has something up her sleeve." Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ge's forehead. If he had ordered his employee to consume this heart, that employee might have become the second glutton monster.
The woman's wailing weakened until it melted into drops of blood that fell on Chen Ge's shadow.
His shadow was like a bottomless pool. The blood fell on it, creating ripples before disappearing without a trace.
When the glutton monster's heart completely melted, Chen Ge's shadow turned darker, and the shape of the woman became clearer.
His heart started to race. For some reason, Chen Ge looked at his own shadow, and he felt like there was a woman reaching out to him from the other side of the shadow.
If he grabbed the woman's hand, he might be dragged into the shadow, and he would be with her forever.
"Zhang Ya?"
A name appeared in his heart, and the shadow's hair floated around him. That should be a response.
"She seems to have gotten stronger …" Chen Ge had been trying to increase the power of all the employees at the Haunted House, but after trying for a long time, he realized that the combined power of all the employees under him was still no match for Zhang Ya. To make matters worse, the gap between them was only getting bigger. "Perhaps this is what talent looks like."
At the underground morgue at Western Jiujiang Medical University, even though Zhang Ya was injured, she had obtained something from Doctor Gao's wife. Then, when she fought the shadow, she had stolen several drops of blood from Doctor Gao, and now she had consumed the glutton monster's heart. Just how powerful had Zhang Ya become? Even Chen Ge could not tell.
"I'm not someone who likes to rely on others, but in this situation, it looks like I have no choice."
The corner of Chen Ge's lips curled upward, and he turned to look at the headless woman and the red high heels. "If you don't listen to me, I'll eat both of you."
The red high heels collapsed to the ground like a normal shoe. The female ghost had probably exhausted too much energy, and her body was damaged. After all, during the battle with the glutton monster, she had taken on three-fourths of the blood vessels alone. In the end, it was she who had heavily injured the glutton monster, and that had given Chen Ge a chance.
"The grace of a drop of water should be returned with a spring, so I won't make things difficult for you. After the mission is over, I can bring you back and build a small scenario just for you. "
Chen Ge had seen the horror of the red high heels' curse before. He picked up the red high heels with the cloth and placed her on the counter.
"It's your turn now. You've chased me down the street, and now I need an apology." Chen Ge had Xu Yin, Bai Qiulin, and Meng Nan keep an eye on the headless woman before he dared approach her.
The headless woman seemed to be prejudiced against men. She did not even look at Chen Ge's group.
"It's fine if you don't want to communicate with men. I have female ghosts as well." Chen Ge summoned Duan Yue. They communicated for a long time before Duan Yue ran over to give Chen Ge a reply.
The headless woman was in bad shape. She had lost half of her body, and her head was heavily injured. She was having a hard time keeping her body from dispersing, much less continuing to fight.
"Even though you've chased me for a long time, I'll forgive you. After we leave this place, I'll find a place for you to rest in peace." Chen Ge used the comic to pull the headless woman away.
"Hey! I'm thinking that your place is limited, so why don't you give the place that I normally stay to the female ghost? " Meng Nan followed behind Chen Ge like an adult. "I haven't been back for a long time. Something might happen to the Third Sick Hall. If the door goes out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I promise you, when the sun rises, I'll send you back to the Third Sick Hall immediately." Chen Ge squatted down and extended his hand seriously. "Pinky promise."
"F * ck, you're too childish!" Even though he sounded unwilling, Meng Nan still extended his hand. "How did you suddenly come around? You're so straightforward that I don't feel safe. "
"It's indeed scary when the door goes out of control, so I'd better send you back as soon as possible." Chen Ge stood up. He was telling the truth.
"Yes, I told you that, but you refused to believe me. If something really happens, it'll be too late to fix it." After getting Chen Ge's promise, Meng Nan finally sighed in relief. "Since you're so sincere, I'll help you again. By the way, where are we now? How come there are so many Red Specters in a small hotel? "
"We're behind a door that has gone out of control. This is Eastern Jiujiang's Li Wan City." Chen Ge said it naturally. He paused for a long time, and when he realized Meng Nan did not reply, he turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
Meng Nan, who was only slightly taller than Chen Ge's knee, stood where he was like he could not believe his ears. "We're behind a door that has gone out of control?"
"Yes."
"Behind a door?"
"Yes."
After the short conversation, Meng Nan sat on the ground. He looked at Chen Ge dumbly. He did not say anything like his brain had gone haywire.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ge quickly squatted down. He was concerned about Meng Nan.
"It's nothing." Meng Nan waved his hands. "I just want to sit on the ground for a while. I'm afraid I won't get the chance later."
"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Don't be afraid, you still have me."
"It's because you're here that I'm afraid! If not for the fact that I can't reach you, I would have jumped up and strangled you twice already! Have you lost your mind? It's fine if you run to the door! But you run to the door that has gone out of control! I'm curious how you managed to find such a dangerous place! Can't you just stay alive? Is it so hard to stay alive? "Meng Nan almost cried as he complained. The series of words was said in just a few seconds.
"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, if we can get out of here alive, I will definitely send you home." Chen Ge quickly comforted Meng Nan.
After a long time, seeing that the man had calmed down, Chen Ge tried to ask, "Is it really that dangerous behind a door that has gone out of control?"
"Of course! Think about it, behind a single door, it's just an enclosed building. The number of Red Specters and monsters that you have to deal with is limited, but it's different for a door that has gone out of control. It will drag all the buildings in that area into it, and no one can tell how many monsters and Red Specters are hiding there. " Meng Nan shrugged and looked troubled. "I'm not good at fighting, and I was tricked by the Society of Strange Tales. My power is greatly reduced, so I need to fix the windows at the Third Sick Hall as soon as possible. If something else enters the Third Sick Hall, then my home will be ruined."
"Isn't that better? I can prepare a new home for you …" Chen Ge realized that Meng Nan was about to explode again, so he stopped him immediately. "You have a point. After we leave Li Wan City, I will send you home immediately."
After putting Meng Nan away with the comic, Chen Ge summoned all of his employees to clean up the hotel.
The red high heels' curse was scarier and more powerful than he expected. The blood vessels and the glutton monster's body turned into dust, and only four chains were left on the ground.
"There are still many questions about the glutton monster." Chen Ge entered Room 1 and released the old man. "See the chains on the ground? Did you lock the woman behind the fridge there? "
The old man had a rough idea of what had happened at the hotel, so he confessed everything to Chen Ge.
The family of three did not live in Li Wan City initially. They ran an apartment at another part of Eastern Jiujiang. They lived upstairs, and the hotel was downstairs.
Later, the old man's wife came down with a strange illness. No matter how much she ate, she could not fill her stomach. Once she stopped eating, she would panic and feel uncomfortable all over.
They visited many doctors, but it was useless. The wife's condition worsened, and she would bite when she was hungry.
They spent all their money, and one night, the wife and the old man, who had just returned from the hospital, took the last bus on Route 104 and arrived at Li Wan City.
The old man was more cowardly, so he did not get off the bus. His wife was led into the ghost apartment by a blurry shadow.
When she came out, his wife's condition was much better. He was overjoyed, thinking that he had met his savior, but that was just the beginning of the real nightmare.
The wife would always go out at night, and the old man found out later that his wife was just looking for 'food' to eat.
To prevent the police from discovering them, the family of three moved to Li Wan City, and what happened after that was similar to what was recorded in Xiao Bu's game.
"When she was alive, it was me who locked her up. If I didn't lock her up, she would have eaten herself. But after she died, it was a shadow that locked her up …" The old man looked at Chen Ge and did not dare continue. "The shadow's silhouette is very similar to yours. He would periodically bring something to feed my wife until she became like that."
"Similar silhouette again?" Chen Ge nodded. He understood everything now.
The glutton monster could be said to be the shadow's creation, and the purpose of her existence was to guard the center of Li Wan City.
"I've explored most of the places mentioned by the black phone. It's time to go to Fan Cong's residential area."
Chen Ge's goal had been achieved. He summoned all his employees back and used the rope to tie the old man back to Room 1.
"You can leave now."
Chen Ge walked out from Room 1 and prepared to go upstairs to find the other three passengers, but at that moment, an accident happened.
The door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open, and two men walked in one after the other.
"Do not open your mouth and do not make any unnecessary movements! Do you understand? "
"Yes, I understand everything, but the problem is that you've captured the wrong person! Trust me! He has already left my body! "
Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Ge raised his head subconsciously. When he saw the two at the door, his pupils narrowed instantly.
"Lee Zheng? Jia Ming? Why are the two of them here? "
