Chen Ge was not lying; he was telling the truth. Even an expert in micro-expressions would not be able to tell the difference.
"Now, I am the only living person left in the Society of Strange Tales. I am the only hope of the society. I don't know why you're looking for me, but I know you have something important to tell me! "
Taking a step forward, Chen Ge raised the flyer above his head. "Li Wan City has taken away one third of the Society of Strange Tales's heritage. Closing the door that has gone out of control was the last request you gave me before you left! Today, I've braved all the obstacles to reach this place, and I'm going to take back everything that should belong to the Society of Strange Tales! "
The shadow was a master of psychological warfare. When he heard what Chen Ge said, he had a bad feeling.
The man did not appear to be lying. He was here because the doctor was guiding him.
"You …"
Chen Ge did not give the shadow the chance to speak and cut him off. He stared into Doctor Gao's eyes. "Remember what you once told me! Remember the promise we made! Remember your daughter, she is still waiting for you to come home! "
Humans were indeed a unique life form. Even though he had been burdened by all the negative emotions behind the door, even though he was cursed by the whole town, even though he had turned into a dark abyss, there was still a trace of humanity left in Doctor Gao's heart that he did not know about, and that was the memory of Gao Ru Xue.
The red eyes slowly turned, and Doctor Gao stared at the shadow standing on the other side of the rooftop.
The 'white coat' that was dyed red fluttered in the wind, and black blood dripped down from the building.
Chen Ge had no idea what had happened to Doctor Gao behind the door, and he had no idea where his wife, whom he had been carrying behind his back, had gone. He only knew one thing, and that was that Doctor Gao seemed to have lost his mind due to consuming too many Red Specters and Specters.
He had lost his memory, and he could only act on instinct. There were probably two reasons why he remembered Chen Ge.
The first was that Doctor Gao had given Chen Ge all the final orders, including closing the door that had gone out of control in Li Wan City and taking care of his daughter, Gao Ru Xue.
The second reason was probably because all of Dr. Gao's plans when he was alive revolved around Chen Ge. In fact, he had even come up with a plan after his death. Everything was related to Chen Ge and the Haunted House. All kinds of chess pieces had been set up, and that was why he had kept Chen Ge in mind.
A person could go crazy for various reasons, but it was too difficult for a crazy person to completely recover, because the first enemy he had to face was himself.
Chen Ge also saw this, so he stood up at this time. He knew that Dr. Gao would not be awakened just because of a few words, and he did not expect Dr. Gao to give up his desire to attack him. All he wanted was to transfer Dr. Gao's curiosity toward him to the shadow clone.
Once the uncertain factor, the shadow, was eliminated, the rest would be much easier to deal with.
"Dr. Gao, even though you've lost your memory, even though you've become a Red Specter, you're still the chairperson in my heart. It was you who told me what a real ghost story is, it was you who made me understand the real Society of Strange Tales!
"Don't hesitate anymore. The door in Li Wan City once belonged to the Society of Strange Tales, and it will always belong to the Society of Strange Tales."
The chain carved with human faces reached out from the building and crawled on the wall. Its target was the shadow.
The shadow did not expect Chen Ge to really be able to convince a Red Specter who had lost his mind, and he soon realized that something even worse was about to happen.
When the chain reached toward the shadow, the black hair cut off all his escape routes, and Zhang Ya attacked the shadow at the same time.
"He is not a Red Specter, but his vitality is stronger than a Red Specter's. We'd better surround him and then figure out a way to kill him."
A madman, and a person who was not much better than a madman, these were the two chairmen of the Society of Strange Tales. From a certain perspective, they were not bad in Dr. Gao's eyes.
"I am your shadow. If you want to kill me, you'll have to die with me." The shadow was already very weak, but he still did not give in to Chen Ge. It was as if showing any weakness before Chen Ge was something shameful.
"From the moment I burned the love letter, you've stopped being my shadow. I have no idea whether I can kill you or not, but I hope you can calm down and enjoy the ghost story that I've created for you. Consider this the last gift that I'll give you before we part."
Chen Ge retreated. The shadow under his feet was connected to Zhang Ya, and the shadow stood alone on the other side of the rooftop.
"A gift?" The shadow let out a creepy laugh. "The first gift that I've received in my life is a ghost story?"
The laughter was mixed with the cries of many children. They cried every time they died, and then they became numb, and finally, they even laughed when they were in pain.
"I will definitely kill you. I can't wait for the ghost fetus to be born anymore!" After the shadow said that, his body solidified, and the face slowly became clearer. The facial features became more prominent, like a person crawling out from the water. The shadow had completely turned into Chen Ge.
"I am you, I am you!"
He stabbed himself with both hands, and the curse flowed through his fingertips. Scars appeared one by one, and those ugly scars gathered on his body to form unique symbols. Finally, all the symbols gathered on his chest, forming the image of a baby.
However, this baby was different from a normal child. His heart was beating, and he radiated endless malice. Looking at him, it was like looking at the ghost on the door of the Haunted House.
"Ghost fetus!"
The baby's limbs stretched out in all directions. The shadow's body was torn apart, and four spider-like limbs crawled out from the shadow's body. His expression was identical to the baby's at that moment. It was a look of hatred toward everything in the world.
The chains that were carved with human faces slammed into the shadow. His face twisted, and more arms crawled out from his back. They pierced through his body. Drops of black liquid that symbolized the curse shot out from his body, and it looked like a black rain was falling on the rooftop.
"I have not forgotten all the despair that I have experienced. Every death will only make me stronger. You said you want to kill me, but even I do not know how to kill myself!"
The shadow's face was like a mask that had fallen to the ground. Cracks appeared on it. Blood vessels crawled out from the baby's body and crawled into the shadow's body. He was still growing. He was consuming the shadow to make himself grow.
"I am the person closest to death. I like death, and I like to have you all taste death with me."
The shadow's face crumbled completely. The baby on his chest suddenly opened his eyes. The venomous gaze was the same as the shadow's.
"Do not give him the chance to separate the baby from his body!" Chen Ge shouted. When he said that, Doctor Gao had already rushed forward. His expression was crazed. He could smell the scent that made him excited. He seemed to sense an existence beyond a Red Specter from this shadow.
