After a person died, their lingering spirit could only survive if it was placed on an object, and Zhang Ya's hope was the cursed love letter.
Chen Ge had burned the love letter on the rooftop because he wanted to cut off Zhang Ya's painful past. He had found a new hope for Zhang Ya.
For the rest of their lives, they would be inseparable. From the moment he burned the love letter, he was Zhang Ya's only hope!
The black hair was like an ocean, cascading down and swallowing the whole building.
The shadow holding Xu Yin's neck was completely stunned. His legs that were connected to Chen Ge were brutally torn apart. The curses fell like black snow in the blood red night.
"You want a baleful Specter to be your shadow?" There was a rage in the shadow's heart that he had nowhere to vent. His body kept twisting. "This shouldn't be happening. This is completely different from what I expected!"
At Ming Yang Residence, the shrill cries of children came from all four buildings at the same time. Small shadows crawled out from the windows and headed toward different rooms in their respective buildings.
Soon, in the building on the west side, a small shadow walked out from the room. He was dragging a snow-white arm — the arm that belonged to Xiao Bu.
He stood at the edge of the building and bit down on the arm. Then something that made one's scalp go numb happened.
All the shadows in the building started to tear at the arm. With every bite, there would be a new bite mark on the arm, and the shadow's presence would increase.
"You are my shadow. I will make you my shadow!"
Ming Yang Residence was outside of Li Wan City, but now the blood fog in Li Wan City was being drawn toward Ming Yang Residence like a tidal wave.
"Not enough, not enough!"
The shadow turned to look at the other buildings, but the scene before him disappointed him again.
In the building on the south side, a strange man who had a smile on his face carried Xiao Bu's broken body to the rooftop. His body was covered in wounds, and the wounds were like mouths that were laughing.
In the building on the north side, it looked like it was raining blood. A crazy woman in a red raincoat with her mouth sewn shut was protecting Xiao Bu's broken body as she went on a killing spree.
"Boss!" Lao Zhou's voice came from below. The shadow and Chen Ge turned to look at the same time.
At the bottom of the building, Meng Nan, who was only as tall as Lao Zhou's knee, was carrying Lao Zhou, who was about to dissipate. Holding Xiao Bu's head and his remaining arm, he was running madly toward Li Wan City.
Xiao Bu's limbs and head were the key to the shadow's control. To control the door that had gone out and to turn Xiao Bu into a puppet that he could easily manipulate, he had spent a lot of effort on Xiao Bu, but now, Chen Ge had ruined everything.
The shadow only managed to obtain one of Xiao Bu's arms. His control over Li Wan City was even weaker than Xiao Bu's.
"Why are all of you helping this man? He lives under the sun, bathed in hope, surrounded by laughter, and the one who bears all the curses and malice is me! "
Unable to trigger the blood fog in Li Wan City, the small black shadows all swarmed toward the shadow's body. He looked at Chen Ge with venom in his eyes.
Chen Ge did not answer the shadow's question. His palm ran through the black hair beside him. "I've never bathed in hope, and I've never lived under the sun, surrounded by laughter. I'm just lucky to have met a group of beautiful people."
The black hair blocked Chen Ge's vision. The extremely red shirt walked past Chen Ge, and a few slender fingers grabbed a black snowflake that was about to fall on him.
The fingers tightened, and the shadow's curse disintegrated into dust before it could even scream.
Zhang Ya stood before Chen Ge. She tilted her head to look at Xu Yin, who was strangled by the shadow.
"You want to save him?" The shadow grabbed Xu Yin's head with one hand. Before he could say anything else, his head was gripped by a pale hand.
Without any pause, the black hair rained down like water. Zhang Ya grabbed the shadow's head and slammed it to the ground.
"Bang!"
The top floor collapsed, and the whole floor was broken through! And this was just the beginning!
Unable to control the blood fog in Li Wan City, unable to use the power behind the door, and after the intense battle with Doctor Gao, the shadow was at his weakest.
He did not expect Zhang Ya to suddenly make a move, and he did not expect that in just a few days, this Red Specter would become even scarier!
When Zhang Ya was fighting the shadow, Chen Ge found Xu Yin, whose body was almost torn apart, at the edge of the top floor.
"You …"
Xu Yin seemed to know that his boss was safe, and the static in the recorder weakened.
His arm that was resting on his chest slowly slid down to reveal the heart that was dyed red with blood.
The face slowly returned to normal. Xu Yin turned to look at Chen Ge, and the corner of his lips curled upward like he was trying to make an expression that he had never made before, but he failed multiple times. In the end, he returned to his normal self.
"It's fine, it's fine now." Chen Ge helped Xu Yin up. The static disappeared, and the red tape stopped spinning. The heavily injured Xu Yin returned to the recorder.
"Was he trying to smile earlier?" Chen Ge stood up and accepted the backpack from Bai Qiulin. The comic, recorder, ballpoint pen, and doll were all there. "Everyone is here. This is the silver lining."
The building under their feet was shaking. Other than Zhang Ya's black hair and the snowflakes from the shadow's curse, there were chains carved with human faces piercing into the building.
Screams could be heard. Chen Ge turned to the side of the building. Dr. Gao, who was on all fours, crawled at the edge of the building like a beast. The pair of red eyes stared right at Chen Ge.
"Found you, Chen Ge …"
When Dr. Gao got close, a pair of pale arms blocked Chen Ge's way. Compared to the shadow, Dr. Gao gave Zhang Ya a greater sense of danger.
The red dress was eye-catching. Zhang Ya at her peak was like a blood red sun, and Dr. Gao, who carried all the curses in Li Wan City, looked more like an 'abyss'.
Endless negative emotions and curses roiled his body. He alone was the abyss of despair.
"Madman, cooperate with me. I know you want to get something from that person. I can give him to you, and I can even tell you all the secrets about him." The shadow's vitality was beyond anyone's expectation. He was like an unkillable monster. He would only grow weaker and weaker, but he would never truly disappear.
Dr. Gao did not agree to the shadow's offer. He was in a very strange state. He was acting based on the last bit of memory in his mind.
Chen Ge had no idea what he wanted, but he knew that if he did not do something, Zhang Ya would be surrounded by both Dr. Gao and the shadow.
A battle was about to break out. Chen Ge summoned Xu Yin and took out the flyer for the Society of Strange Tales that he had taken with him.
On the familiar flyer, the 'door' that represented the Society of Strange Tales had been pushed open, and a pale hand reached out from behind the door.
As he got closer, Chen Ge could see clearly that the hand was Dr. Gao's hand. He had left a backup plan on all the flyers, but God's plan seemed to have gone awry.
Holding the flyer, Chen Ge stood behind Zhang Ya and told Dr. Gao, "You've forgotten too many things, and now I'm here to help you remember! You were once the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales, and I was personally chosen by you to join the society. This flyer is the best proof! "
The mention of the Society of Strange Tales caused the red in Dr. Gao's eyes to change slightly.
"Don't listen to him! Follow your heart! " The shadow was panicking, this time for real. He did not dare imagine himself being surrounded by both Dr. Gao and Zhang Ya.
"Yes, follow your heart!" Chen Ge raised the flyer high. "Before you died, you entrusted the Society of Strange Tales to me. I am the person you trust the most, and that is why you remember my name! Yes, I am Chen Ge! I am the current chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales, Chen Ge! And behind me, these Red Specters and Red Specters, they are the current Society of Strange Tales! "
