When Chen Ge went up the stairs, he had thought it through. The shadow and Doctor Gao were both heavily injured, so what kind of trap could they set up in such a hurry?
The shadow did not know how many Red Specters Chen Ge had. If he gave Chen Ge the chance to summon a Red Specter, his chance of winning would be very small.
Even if he lured Chen Ge into a trap, with the protection of a Top Red Specter, Chen Ge might not necessarily die.
Therefore, in this situation, the shadow might use another method to kill Chen Ge.
He would not use the power of a ghost but other methods, like Lee Zheng's gun.
If Chen Ge did not have his guard up against Lee Zheng, he would not have summoned a Red Specter when Lee Zheng got close to him.
At this time, the shadow only needed to hide his evil intentions so that the Red Specter would not notice him. Then, he would take out his gun, pull the trigger, and he would be able to kill Chen Ge.
Compared to wasting a lot of time to create a trap that might not be useful, this was the simplest and most effective method.
The shadow knew that the higher he went, the more the Red Specter would be suppressed.
The black substance should have come from a being stronger than a Red Specter, and it could affect a Red Specter greatly. With the interference of these things, his chance of success would be higher.
In reality, everything was developing according to his plan, but the final result surprised him. Before he took out Lee Zheng's gun, Chen Ge had already discovered his real identity.
In the dark corridor, blood fog floated, and the sound of children crying filled the air.
The shadow stood several meters away from Chen Ge. His shape was slowly changing. His body slowly grew taller until he looked exactly like Chen Ge.
"You do not seem to be ready to meet me." Looking at the shadow, Chen Ge had a strange feeling. It was like he was talking to himself in the mirror at night.
"You are wrong. From the moment you abandoned me, I knew this day would come, but it was different from my plan." The shadow's voice was slowly changing, and it sounded more and more like Chen Ge. "I thought that when we meet again, I will be the human, and you will be the shadow."
"Do you really want me to be your shadow?" Chen Ge stood where he was. The shadow was able to fight against Zhang Ya, so he was as powerful as a Top Red Specter. Even though he was heavily injured by Doctor Gao, Chen Ge did not dare let his guard down.
"A person without a shadow will not live long. I hope you can be my shadow. Then, I can try all the ways I have died on you." The tone of the shadow was adjusted, and the voice of the shadow finally became exactly the same as Chen Ge's.
"Do you hate me that much? Have I ever done anything to you? " Chen Ge did not feel that he had lost his memory, nor did he remember doing anything excessive when he was young.
"Looks like you have really forgotten, but that is fine. In the future, I will make you remember everything. Inside the door and outside the door, you and me, you inside the door and me outside the door." With each word, the shadow's body would grow taller. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, but he was taller than Chen Ge. "You have not done anything to me. You live under the sun, wrapped in warmth, surrounded by laughter and hope. You have enjoyed all the good things, but the curses, insults, and malice that you have suffered have all been transferred to me!"
"My negative emotions are all transferred to you?" Chen Ge raised his brows.
"Negative emotions are not enough to describe the despair I felt as I slowly sank into the abyss. I could see myself falling bit by bit, but I couldn't make a sound. My neck was strangled, and my body was about to be crushed. I couldn't speak, couldn't breathe, and couldn't even die!" The shadow's voice slowly grew louder. "Initially, I did not want to hurt anyone. Even when I was surrounded by endless curses, even when I floated in the ocean of despair, even when I suffered pain that you could never imagine, the thought of harming others never crossed my mind."
The shadow's body was expanding and twisting. The pictures on the walls came alive, and the small black figures died again and again.
"Until one day, in the depths of despair, I saw a door in your house!"
The shadow's words caused Chen Ge to go on alert. He knew that there was a door in the bathroom of the Haunted House, but he had no idea who had pushed it open. "You pushed it open?"
"When I was under the curse, the door was already there. My despair was not enough to push the door open, but I heard the voice behind the door. " The shadow's pressure grew. "Someone was calling your name behind the door. You could not hear it, but I answered it on your behalf."
The shadow's eerie voice caused goosebumps to rise on Chen Ge's neck. "It was from that moment that I realized why I could not become you. Why did I have to hide in the shadow and cry when you were basking in the sun? I am your shadow, but that does not mean that I have to suffer all the pain for you! "
When he said the last word, an arm suddenly reached out from the shadow's heart to grab at Chen Ge's neck. It was very sudden, like everything he had done earlier was to distract Chen Ge's attention.
The shadow had been injured in the battle with Doctor Gao, and his body was dim, but the arm that reached out from his heart appeared to be real. Even the fingerprints on each finger were carved with blood vessels.
When the shadow made his move, the woman from the tunnel stood before Chen Ge, but she had underestimated the shadow's power.
The arm pierced through her body, carrying the blood vessels in her body as it reached for Chen Ge!
"Rip!"
The comic inside the backpack gave off a soft sound, and one of the pages crumbled. However, at that moment, the black hand stopped!
The woman from the tunnel screamed. She had died from the car accident, and her body was already badly deformed.
She grabbed the arm that had pierced through her body with both hands. The woman ignored the arm that had pierced through her body and allowed it to stay inside her body. She hung on the shadow and attacked the shadow madly.
The woman from the tunnel was different from other Red Specters. Underneath her red dress was a broken body, and there were broken bones inside it. Her special power was related to those broken bones.
The bones that were dyed red pierced into the shadow's body. The woman's body kept changing shape like she was trying to use her own body to consume the shadow.
"What kind of power is this?" The shadow turned to Chen Ge. "How many more Specters do you have on you?"
"Why don't you take a guess?" Chen Ge wanted to understand what was going on with the door at the Haunted House, so he did not attack the shadow.
Yan Danian and the woman from the tunnel had bought precious time for Chen Ge. He retreated, calling Zhang Ya's name in his heart.
"Even in the face of death, you can still smile. Everything that you are able to do now is because of me." The shadow's voice turned chilling. His body was weakening under the woman's relentless attacks, but he did not seem to be in a hurry.
But he did not appear to be in a hurry. He merely expressed his hatred toward Chen Ge. "This place has already been destroyed, so there is no need to keep it around anymore. The child that was sent to the ghost fetus should be enough for him to be born."
The black pictures on the wall started to change. All the black people that were killed in the pictures walked out from the pictures and melted into the shadow's body.
The children in the building started to laugh strangely. They were no longer innocent children but the shadow's puppets.
"All the children inside the building are the ghost fetus' sacrifices? Just how many people have you buried in Eastern Jiujiang? " The door behind Chen Ge changed the most. The black shadow that looked like him slowly faded, and many black people with broken limbs and possessed by hatred and resentment walked out from it.
Each of them had two faces. One was their original face, and the other was about eighty percent similar to Chen Ge.
This scene looked very scary, but the shadow seemed to be enjoying this process. "The ghost fetus' resentment is too deep for him to be born, so I can only use these children to share the ghost fetus' resentment. You saw that, right? So many children are needed to offset part of the ghost fetus' resentment. You can imagine how much pain I have endured for you! "
There was no innocent smile on the children's faces. Their current expressions were numb, strange, and filled with an abhorrence toward life. This was very scary in Chen Ge's eyes. If left unchecked, these children might give birth to a new ghost fetus, and that was probably the scenario that the shadow wanted to see the most.
The black people surged into the shadow's body, and his dim body materialized again. The dark curse flowed on the surface of his body, forcing out the bone spike that the woman from the tunnel had stabbed into his body earlier.
Even a normal Red Specter would not touch a curse. When the black people appeared, the woman's body morphed again and moved away from the shadow.
"I haven't gone to find you because I'm waiting for the day I can turn you into my shadow. I didn't expect you to come and interfere with my plan on your own." Many children's faces appeared on the shadow's body. These children had all lost their sense of self, and they had strange smiles on their faces. "A person without a shadow is incomplete. I will turn you into my shadow!"
Just as the shadow was about to make his move on Chen Ge, a series of loud noises came from outside the building. Looking out the window, he saw a series of chains attacking the building madly for no reason.
"You were the one who lured that mad man here, weren't you?" The shadow was rather helpless toward Dr. Gao. "I was only prepared for the Red Specter on your body, but I didn't expect you to find a second Top Red Specter. But even if you have their help, you won't be able to change the situation unless you can find a third Top Red Specter."
From the shadow's words, Chen Ge could tell that something was wrong. He immediately called for Zhang Ya, but the thing that caused him to sweat was that at this crucial moment, Zhang Ya did not give him any response.
"I know that Red Specter is living in your shadow, but don't forget, I am your shadow!" The blood fog dispersed, and the whole building could hear the shadow's hysterical laughter.
With the help of the weak light from the blood moon, Chen Ge saw that the shadow's legs had somehow connected to his own legs. As more and more black people melted into Chen Ge, the connection between the shadow and Chen Ge became tighter.
"When you were young, your parents should have told you not to go to Eastern Jiujiang to play, right?" The shadow's voice was laced with excitement and viciousness. "They were worried that I would return to your body! My plan is flawless! How could I lose? The ghost fetus will be reborn, and this lingering spirit of mine will turn back into your shadow! I will slowly assimilate you! I will return all the ways of death, all the despair, and all the pain that I have experienced to you! I am the evil spirit that you cannot shake off! I am the past that you have to face! I am you! "
The whole building could hear the shadow's voice clearly. He seemed to have waited for this day for a long time. "I will give you my memory and turn you into me, and then you will become the ghost fetus' shadow! Everything is so perfect! Even if there is an accident, the ending has already been decided! "
Chen Ge was calling Zhang Ya's name madly in his heart, but there seemed to be a barrier between him and Zhang Ya, and Zhang Ya could not hear him.
"It's useless! I am your shadow. If she wants to come out from the shadow, she will have to replace me and become your new shadow. "The shadow was laughing madly. He was about to achieve his goal for so many years, and his emotions were out of control.
The dark hands gripped Chen Ge's neck, and the shadow looked down at him from above. "I have played the role of many people, and today, I can finally find myself again!"
With a red face, Chen Ge's feet left the ground, and he could not make any sound.
At that moment, a man whose chest was dyed red appeared. He grabbed one of the shadow's arms, but he only managed to slow down the speed at which the shadow's arms were raised.
A white cat leaped high into the air and bit at the shadow's face, but its body passed through the shadow and slammed heavily to the ground.
There was no call, and Chen Ge did not make any sound, but many shadows appeared from the backpack. The shadow's arms were grabbed by many hands, but even so, that was not enough to change the situation.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The sound of the chains hitting the building became clearer and clearer, as if someone was guiding the chains upwards.
As the window on the top floor was smashed open, a blood red shadow leaped at the shadow without a care for anything else!
The long fingers pierced into the shadow's body. The Red Specter's hands held the shadow's arms. The melancholy on his face had disappeared, and in its place was endless anger and anxiety.
"There's another Red Specter?" The shadow was filled with hatred. For some reason, he hated Chen Ge even more. He wanted to destroy this man, to destroy everything that this man cared about!
The black curses surged into the Red Specter's body. Black patterns appeared on the Red Specter's shirt that was dripping blood. The curses crawled into his body like worms, gnawing on his face and heart madly.
"So painful!"
He gritted his teeth. The red blood turned black after it leaked out, but he did not plan to retreat.
"Disgusting! You things make me feel disgusted! " The shadow shouted loudly. More and more curses poured into the body of the Red Specter in front of him.
The blood vessels cracked, and the body crumbled. Endless curses charged at the Red Specter.
"So painful! So painful! So painful! "
Xu Yin's face was twisted. His body was on the verge of disintegration, but the empty spot around his heart was slowly turning red!
There was no reason for Xu Yin to not retreat even one step under the onslaught of the shadow's curses.
"Bang!"
The chains reached in through the window. They charged at Xu Yin like an anaconda that had smelled blood!
Doctor Gao had arrived, and his target was the flyer that Xu Yin was holding.
The chains that were tainted with curses and reeking of blood swept at Xu Yin, but Xu Yin showed no intention of dodging.
If he was hit by the chains, the shadow that stood next to him would be injured as well.
"Damn it!"
To avoid Doctor Gao's attack, the shadow had no choice but to let go for now.
Chen Ge landed on the ground. Bai Qiulin immediately hugged him and carried his backpack. He slammed open the door next to him and ran to the rooftop.
"You won't be able to escape! I've thought about this for a long time! Now, you have nowhere to run! "
The shadow charged at him, and the workers inside the Haunted House were swept away. Only Xu Yin was struggling to hold on. He alone was not enough to stop the shadow.
"Zhang Ya, can you hear me?" The shadow was under Chen Ge's feet, and he blocked Chen Ge's voice.
"It's useless. When we fought at the fresh water plant, I saw this! This fatal flaw!" This is a fatal flaw! "The shadow grabbed Xu Yin's head and slammed it heavily into the ground. He dragged the man's body as he ran toward Chen Ge.
"Fatal flaw?" Chen Ge reached into his backpack. "Actually, I've been thinking about how to face Zhang Ya. I don't know where she is in my heart. But now I understand. "
Chen Ge took out the precious love letter from the inside of his backpack. Then he took out a lighter and lit it up. "I don't need to use these things anymore."
The flame burned, and Chen Ge's shadow boiled. Without any warning, it was like a black ocean was welcoming a storm!
"What are you doing?" The shadow's expression shifted, and his body started to fade. "You're not planning to make that baleful Specter your shadow, are you?"
Standing up, Chen Ge flicked the ashes of the love letter to the ground. "Zhang Ya, let's be together forever. I do not believe there is anything more romantic in this world than being inseparable forever!"
"Bang!"
A pale hand pierced through Chen Ge's shadow, and the black ocean poured out!
From top to bottom, the windows of the entire building shattered, layer by layer!
Under the blood moon's illumination, a woman leaned gently behind Chen Ge.
"Zhang Ya!"
