Blood seeped out from the window, and it flowed on the hand-painted painting. It was very eye-catching.
"Even in the face of death, I will not take away your freedom. Furthermore, I have not seen my shadow for so many years, but haven't I lived a good life? There will always be a way, and there will be a solution. " Chen Ge had an optimistic personality. Even though he looked normal, there was an indescribable charisma about him that could bring hope to others.
Xiao Bu was still expressionless. The blood on the wall wrote the same sentence again and again. She seemed to want Chen Ge to think it through.
For those who had been injured many times, they would rather suffer physical pain than trust others so easily because they knew very well that the feeling of trusting someone only to realize that everything was a lie was much more painful than being cut by a knife.
"Let's not talk about that for now. You've met my parents. Did they tell you anything? Like what are they planning to do? Where will they go next? "
Chen Ge had invested so much money to maintain the haunted house because he wanted to leave a memory for himself. This was the only thing that his parents had left him, and he wanted to protect it.
Finding his parents had become his obsession, so now that there was a clue, he would not let it go.
Xiao Bu seemed to know that Chen Ge would ask this. More blood leaked out from the window, and another sentence appeared. 'They did not tell me where they are going next, but in their conversation, they mentioned Xin Hai Central Hospital.'
"That cursed hospital? One of the two new four-star missions that appeared on the black phone? "
Chen Ge leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought. "The shadow is related to the ghost fetus, and my parents' disappearance is related to Xin Hai Central Hospital. Both of these scenarios are four-star, but temporarily, I do not plan to touch them. Other than that, the four-star mission in Western Jiujiang — School of the Afterlife — is almost up. After I leave Li Wan City, I need to complete it first. "
The Trial Missions on the black phone would increase exponentially with each increase in star. Actually, even Chen Ge was not that confident.
"Forget it. Let's not think too much about it. Let's get through this first." Chen Ge shifted his body on Xiao Bu's side. He was already very close, but Xiao Bu did not dodge or show any signs of impatience. This caused Fan Cong to break out in cold sweat. After all, this was a real Red Specter.
"Did my parents tell you anything about the shadow? Like what weaknesses does he have? " Chen Ge wanted to get more useful information from Xiao Bu, but Xiao Bu's reaction disappointed him.
The bloodstains on the wall fused and changed. Finally, it began to repeat the first sentence — those without a shadow would not live long.
"The child should know something, but she doesn't want to say it." Chen Ge stood up. Hearing him call Xiao Bu a child, Fan Cong was shocked again, but on second thought, this Red Specter was indeed just a child.
"What should we do now?"
Chen Ge turned to look at Fan Cong, and Fan Cong had a bitter smile on his face. "Don't ask me. Normally, I'm the one who tells you that."
Fan Cong had told Chen Ge everything about the game, so now it was up to him to make the decision.
"Those human-shaped stains are a big problem. Compared to ghosts, they are more like evil spirits that have been purposely extracted. They are made up of pure malice and do not retain any humanity."
This kind of thing had no value. If a ghost touched them, they would be assimilated, so Chen Ge did not want his employees to take the risk.
"Ghosts can absorb and digest them. The stronger the ghost, the more curses they can digest. If that's what you're worried about, I can open the way for you." The blood stains on the wall formed a sentence. Xiao Bu suggested a solution. "A small number of curses can be suppressed, but too many curses will be assimilated."
"You call them curses?" Chen Ge was suddenly reminded of the four-star scenario on the black phone — The Cursed Hospital.
"After a person dies, they will leave behind many different things — lingering spirits, curses, strange things, and so on. Those stains are curses, curses made up of bad luck and malice."
"If one absorbs too many curses, what will happen after they are assimilated?" Chen Ge asked.
"They will become a new curse. The scarier the Specter, the harder the curse will be to resolve." The blood stains on the wall kept changing. Xiao Bu did not say anything. He used this method to communicate with Chen Ge.
"Can curses be controlled? Based on what you said, these curses will destroy everything they see. They cannot be controlled, so how did the shadow manage to control them? "
"I don't know. Perhaps the shadow has his own way, or perhaps the shadow itself is a curse." The blood words on the wall surprised Chen Ge again.
"The shadow itself might be a curse?" Chen Ge thought about it and felt that it was possible. His parents would not have lost his shadow for no reason. He had probably been cursed when he was young, and his parents had implanted the curse into his shadow.
However, he did not say that out loud — he only needed to know that.
"If the shadow itself is a curse, then it's easy to understand why he chose Li Wan City. He wants to make use of the deep malice and curse buried underneath this small town." Curses were the shadow's trump card, and that was the problem that lay before Chen Ge.
"You don't have to worry too much. Even a curse can't control itself, so the shadow's control is more like a switch. He can't control an individual's movement. As I said earlier, curses are filled with malice. They will attack everything they see until they turn into a curse. There are many strange things in Li Wan City, and they can help us share some of the pressure. Before they all turn into curses, we just need to escape. "
Looking at the blood words on the wall, Chen Ge's gaze softened. The fact that Xiao Bu could tell him so much meant that the distance between them had been greatly shortened.
"Okay, we'll leave this place first. We'll see what happens outside before we decide what to do next."
Inside the room, Fan Cong looked at Chen Ge and Xiao Bu, and the fat on his body could not stop shaking.
He knew that Chen Ge was one of them, but he could not help the fear in his heart. This scene was too strange.
A man holding a weapon stood next to a limbless Red Specter. The Specter was silent. The man looked at the blood words that kept appearing on the wall, and his face was filled with gentleness.
"Sigh, I wish I could go home …"
With Chen Ge leading the way, the group walked to the elevator. "There are so many underground rooms. Did you guys miss anything?"
Looking at the closed rooms, Chen Ge had a smile on his face. "Xiao Bu, you've stayed here for so long. Do you have any neighbors? We can bring them with us. "
Xiao Bu shook her head. She was still not used to Chen Ge's overzealousness.
Pressing the button for the elevator, when the doors opened, Fan Cong covered his mouth and nose.
The old elevator was covered in blood stains and slashes. The group that had gone up earlier had all disappeared.
"It's fine. You'll get used to it." Chen Ge had no idea why he would comfort Fan Cong like that.
The group entered the elevator and slowly approached the ground, but the strange noises on the ground had disappeared.
Returning to the first floor, when the elevator door opened, Chen Ge held the hammer before him.
The lobby was quiet. There were no screams or wails, and there were no dead bodies or blood stains.
"Where are they?"
Chen Ge used Yin Yang Vision to look around. The blood fog had thinned. Occasionally, shadows could be seen moving on the street, but they appeared to be moving in a certain direction.
"Something is attracting those human-shaped stains."
"All the curses are moving toward the door." Xiao Bu still did not say anything. She raised her hand, and the blood fog gathered to form a few words.
As the door pusher, she was the real owner of the blood fog, but everything had been stolen by the shadow.
"How much fog can you snatch from the shadow now?" A plan formed in Chen Ge's mind.
"Half. My limbs and head have been hidden outside Li Wan City by the shadow. That is a place that I cannot influence, and my heart is in the shadow's hands. He wants to use that heart to control the door that has gone out of control." Every word was laced with Xiao Bu's pain. Both Chen Ge and Fan Cong felt their hearts wrench when they saw it.
"No wonder the shadow has to build another cluster of ghost buildings outside of Li Wan City. Li Wan City is used to collect despair and negative emotions, and Ming Yang Residence is used to suppress Xiao Bu, to make Xiao Bu listen to him. He sure has a good plan." Chen Ge had Xiao Bu stop controlling the blood fog to avoid alerting the shadow. "A few of my friends have already left Li Wan City. It won't be long before they return with your head and limbs. When that time comes, you can suddenly unleash your power, and we'll work together to kill the shadow."
Chen Ge's plan was not bad, but Xiao Bu was not interested. "You won't be able to kill him."
"Why not?" Chen Ge pressed Xiao Bu for the reason, but Xiao Bu did not answer. Later, when Chen Ge asked other questions, Xiao Bu did not answer.
The group walked down the streets of Li Wan City. Xiao Bu knew Li Wan City very well. This was the door that she had pushed open, so normally speaking, the world behind the door was woven from her memory.
With Xiao Bu's help, Chen Ge and Fan Cong avoided all the danger and arrived at the residential area where Fan Cong lived.
Four-fifths of the blood fog in Li Wan City was gathered there, and the scarier thing was, the curses that had been accumulating in Li Wan City had all surged into the blood fog.
They morphed into black threads and curled around one of the figures in the middle of the fog, forcefully stopping the person from moving forward.
"Xiao Bu, what is the maximum number of curses a Red Specter can withstand?" Chen Ge was afraid that Xiao Bu would not answer, so he added, "The one fighting with the shadow can be said to be the scariest Specter among all the Red Specters. He once shouldered all the negative emotions behind a door. Can someone like that withstand all the curses in Li Wan City?"
Xiao Bu shook her head. "No, but it should be able to hold on for a while."
"Understood." Chen Ge waved for Fan Cong to move back. "Let them fight first."
"We're just going to watch from the side?" Fan Cong was confused. "They're in a stalemate, and this is a chance for us. Be it to escape or ambush, we should do something!"
Chen Ge walked over angrily, and when he saw the situation, he planned to find a safe place to watch. That was not a very good idea.
"When they're done, we'll make our move. These two have many trump cards, so we mustn't let our guard down. Furthermore, the longer we drag this out, the better it will be for us. When we find all the missing parts of the door, we'll have the upper hand. " Chen Ge looked at the blood fog that had gathered over half of Li Wan City, and he was very calm. "None of them are my friends, so the only way to win is to take them all down."
"You plan to take them all down?" Fan Cong held his heart. He did not dare speak or ask any more questions.
"The shadow is using the blood fog and the curse buried deep underground in Li Wan City to hold on against Doctor Gao. If he doesn't have other trump cards, he'll be the first to fall." Chen Ge understood that the curse needed some time to activate, and during this time, Doctor Gao should be able to deal with the shadow.
"The shadow? Doctor Gao? So, they're all your friends? "Fan Cong also hoped that Chen Ge would answer, so he kept his voice low.
The flyer for the Society of Strange Tales was with Xu Yin. Perhaps Doctor Gao sensed the flyer getting closer, because he became more agitated. In the blood sea, the chains rattled noisily.
"When did Doctor Gao become so strong? What has he been through behind the door? Has he consumed a lot of Red Specters? " Chen Ge could not understand. When he was at Coffin Village, the Red Specter from the well had also become very strong behind the door, but unlike Doctor Gao, she wanted to turn over a new leaf and did not focus all her attention on becoming stronger.
While he was thinking about this, Chen Ge's phone suddenly vibrated.
He quickly took it out to check, and it was an unread message.
"It's from Tong Tong? They've succeeded? "
Sliding on the screen, Chen Ge frowned when he saw the message.
There was only one line on the message — So many children! Come quickly!
"Looks like something has happened." Chen Ge pocketed his phone. Without wasting any time, he called for Fan Cong and Xiao Bu, and they started to run toward the edge of Li Wan City.
Just as Chen Ge made that decision, the blood sea behind them suddenly exploded. A shadow similar in size to Chen Ge crawled out from it and raced toward the ghost apartment at the edge of Li Wan City.
The blood fog dispersed, and a voice that sounded like it came from the depths of hell echoed in everyone's ears. "Chen Ge …"
The white coat was dyed red, and the redness was more glaring than fresh blood.
Black chains curled around the 'white coat'. Half of the man's body kept dissolving, and dark red blood dripped. He was heavily injured, but he did not seem to feel any pain.
Slowly lifting his head, the pair of eyes that were once calm and filled with intelligence had turned crimson, and Chen Ge and the shadow were reflected in his pupils.
"Chen Ge …"
Doctor Gao!
Picking up his pace, Chen Ge ran as fast as he could. "He looks like he has lost his mind, but why would he still remember me in this situation? Did I leave too deep an impression on him? "
