While Chen Ge was thinking, the situation outside had changed drastically.
The commotion became louder and louder. Under the attack of Zhang Ya and Dr. Gao, the shadow started to show signs of fatigue.
The body made from curses was formless and intangible. When a normal Specter touched it, it would not cause any damage to the shadow. If anything, it would cause great damage to itself.
With that, the shadow would have been able to roam freely among Red Specters, but unfortunately, he had run into Zhang Ya and Dr. Gao.
These two Top Red Specters could withstand a large number of curses. Not only were they powerful, their special power was the bane of the shadow's existence.
Doctor Gao's restraints and Zhang Ya's restraints could limit the shadow's physical advantage, so he could not escape and could only fight head-on.
The battle between Red Specters was intense. Tearing down the other's resentment to replenish one's own was something unimaginable for a living person, but for Specters, it was a common sight.
The shadow was covered in curses, but the two Top Red Specters did not care about that. Dr. Gao had gone mad from carrying too many things on his back. Zhang Ya looked normal on the surface, but after the fight, the shadow realized that the woman's madness was no weaker than the two chairmen of the Society of Strange Tales.
The black body was shattered again and again. Black blood leaked out from the baby's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Everyone there heard a strange sound. It sounded like the blood sky above their heads was crying, or it sounded like the land where nightmares were rooted was crying.
Crying, laughing. Everyone seemed to see a child holding a knife standing in the back alley that was flooded by the storm.
His neck was strangled by a rope, and his head was pressed into the mud. His tears mixed with the rain. He kept crying until his lips slowly cracked open, and a smile appeared on his face.
He sank to the bottom of the water. The fire burned him, and the sharp blades pierced through his fleshless body before burying him in a deep hole that had been dug.
He could not breathe, and he could not see the sun. The only thing he could touch were various ugly scars.
"Why are you trying to kill me? What have I done wrong? "
The shadow's body was collapsing, and the remaining curse was like a blood vessel that stabbed into the baby's heart.
The unborn face became clear. The soft bones were squeezed into strange shapes, and the body was filled with curse and malice. The baby opened his eyes and looked at Chen Ge, who was protected by the black hair.
Its chest suddenly jumped, and a rain of blood fell from the sky. Its eyes reflected Chen Ge's figure, and the baby's heart beat heavily, faster and faster.
Panting heavily, the baby did not look like a monster formed by the curse at all, but more like a living person.
It had its own body, but its organs were beating crazily, as if they were about to explode. But in this situation, the corners of its mouth split open.
His eyes became more and more unfamiliar. They lost their deceit and deceit and were replaced by pure malice and hatred.
"These are not the shadow's eyes!"
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ge looked at himself in the baby's eyes through the gaps of his black hair.
It was a completely unfamiliar version of himself, but he was sure that it was him!
"I have died many times for you. Now, it is time for you to die for me."
The blood vessel exploded, and the shadow's body crumbled completely. The broken ghost baby crawled out from its chest and charged at Chen Ge in the rain of blood. Its speed was ten times faster than before.
Layers of black hair were torn apart. Even though the chains wrapped around its body, it could not slow down the ghost baby's speed. Its body continued to crumble, but the Chen Ge in its eyes became clearer. The curse that covered its body morphed into black threads that surged into the eyes, and they entangled the Chen Ge in the eyes tightly.
The distance was very far, but Chen Ge had lost the ability to move. He felt like his body was being restrained by something.
"No contact? What kind of power is this? Resentment? Curse? " Unable to control the body, the ghost baby drained the shadow dry, and it appeared to be using the power of his real body, the ghost fetus.
The black threads that entangled Chen Ge in the eyes started to burn. The black flames burned the Chen Ge in his eyes, but Chen Ge in real life felt the same pain.
It was as if ants were crawling all over his body, biting and burning him bit by bit from the outside.
"All the good things you have will become the fertilizer of despair. I will wait for you at the bottom of the abyss …" The ghost baby's lips tore open. It stared deeply at Chen Ge. "My shadow."
"Bang!"
The black hair blocked Chen Ge's vision, wrapping him completely behind it. The strands of black hair crawled into Chen Ge's body and consumed all the curse. This was the power of gluttony.
The ghost baby was using the ghost fetus' power. This kind of curse was hard to handle even for a Red Specter, but the ghost baby was using it to deal with a living person.
"Did he just say that I am his shadow?" Unable to control his body, Zhang Ya was consuming the curse. With his superhuman willpower, Chen Ge did not fall. Through the gap, he opened his eyes to look at the ghost baby.
The chains and black hair curled around his body, and the ghost baby stopped three meters away from Chen Ge.
Zhang Ya's arm pierced through the ghost baby's eyes, and Dr. Gao gripped the ghost baby's heart.
"Just a little more?" The ghost baby laughed madly in the rain of blood. His chest rose and fell, and his body expanded irregularly. "Chen Ge, I will remember this day. In return, I will make sure you remember every day."
The ghost baby finally moved his eyes away. He looked at a spot in Eastern Jiujiang. The bones were pushed open, and this' disposable 'body expanded again! Strange black symbols appeared on the surface of the ghost baby's body. They appeared to be the original curse in the nightmare.
"Be careful!"
Chen Ge's warning came too late. The black lines cut through the flesh from the inside out. The symbols disintegrated, and the ghost baby's body exploded from the inside out!
His eardrums seemed to explode, and all sound disappeared. His mind went blank. Chen Ge could feel his body retreating, and then he started to fall. Finally, he was caught by something.
When Chen Ge opened his eyes again, he saw that he was dangling outside the ninth floor, entangled by the remaining black hair.
"Zhang Ya?"
The black hair was still there, but the symbols of curses started to appear among the black hair above the tenth floor.
"She threw me off?"
The blood rain had stopped. With the ghost apartment as the center, the screams of ghosts came from all around them.
They had caused too much commotion, and it had attracted the attention of the ghosts from the other buildings around Li Wan City.
"The screams are not afraid of the shadow. Just how scary is the world behind the door?"
The blood fog covered everything. Even with Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could not see the ghosts — he could only hear their voices.
The black hair was pulled upward, and when Chen Ge returned to the top floor, he was shocked by what he saw.
When the ghost baby's body exploded, neither Zhang Ya nor Dr. Gao dodged. The two Top Red Specters made the same decision at that moment — they attacked each other madly!
Neither of them put up any defense. Most of the black hair and chains were broken, and to make matters worse, both Zhang Ya and Dr. Gao were branded with the ghost baby's symbols. The symbols crawled through their bodies like fish, and it was very difficult to get rid of these curses.
Both of them were in bad shape. Dr. Gao had lost an arm, and the curse and negative emotions could no longer be suppressed. The faces of innocent people were screaming and crying.
The half of Zhang Ya's body, which was facing the shadow, was also branded with the curse. To make matters worse, her face appeared to be injured as well.
Dr. Gao had the special power of suppression and transformation, and Zhang Ya had the power of gluttony. Both of them were heavily injured, but neither was ready to give up. They were both holding on, preparing to strike again.
"Why did they suddenly attack?" Chen Ge looked at the center of the rooftop. Dr. Gao's hand that was holding the ghost baby's heart had fallen to the ground. It was about to be dissolved by the curse. Most of it had dissolved into black blood, but the ghost baby's heart was nowhere to be seen.
"Did it explode?"
After a closer inspection, Chen Ge realized that Dr. Gao's remaining hand was holding half a blood red heart. The heart was only one-fifth the size of a normal heart, and it was covered in black patterns.
"A Red Specter's heart is blood red. Even though this heart is small, it is fundamentally different from a Red Specter's heart. The black patterns give me a very dangerous feeling, like something bad will happen if I look at it."
Half of the heart was with Dr. Gao, and the other half was with Zhang Ya. Both of them wanted the other's heart.
Without saying anything, Chen Ge silently retreated. He searched through his backpack and summoned all the remaining employees.
"Perhaps I can discuss this with Dr. Gao. He is a reasonable person, so he should be able to look at the bigger picture."
When the ghost baby's body exploded, Bai Qiulin and the woman from the tunnel had both hidden inside the comic. The curse appeared to only be effective on living humans and ghosts; it did not seem to work on inanimate objects.
Chen Ge actually wanted to ask the woman if she was used to living inside Yan Danian's comic, but considering that Zhang Ya was right beside him, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
The two sides faced each other on the rooftop, and there was a strange balance between them. A new battle was about to break out.
About ten seconds later, a loud explosion came from Li Wan City. Everyone turned to look, and a blood tide was rushing toward Ming Yang Residence.
In the thick blood fog, the real owner of Li Wan City, Xiao Bu, Meng Nan, and Lao Zhou were rushing toward the ghost apartment.
Xiao Bu was not a normal Red Specter. The door to Li Wan City had gone out of control. It was no longer limited to a single building but the whole town.
As the door-pusher, Xiao Bu's power kept increasing. How scary she was, Chen Ge had no idea, but at least she was no weaker than the glutton woman at the hotel.
A normal Red Specter was one thing, but with the addition of a Top Red Specter on Chen Ge's side, the balance had been broken.
The two presidents of the Society of Strange Tales turned to look at Xiao Bu at the same time, and then they reacted at the same time.
"Do it! I have so many things to say to him! "
When Chen Ge was yelling, Doctor Gao had already jumped down from the building. The chains pierced into the building. He held the half heart and crawled into the blood fog, disappearing.
Dr. Gao's decisiveness in leaving surprised Chen Ge.
He had no idea why a madman would suddenly make such a decision. Perhaps some kind of taboo had been triggered, or at some point, the 'despair' that Dr. Gao carried with him had made the same choice.
"He left just like that. I still want to ask him about the door at the Haunted House." Chen Ge did not care if Dr. Gao went crazy. He was willing to give his time and energy to help Dr. Gao, but the latter did not appreciate it.
After Dr. Gao left, the black hair on the rooftop disappeared, and Zhang Ya walked to Chen Ge's side.
Her long hair covered half of her face. Just as Chen Ge thought that Zhang Ya was going to say something to him, Zhang Ya's eyes scanned the woman in the tunnel, and then she reached out to grab the headless woman from the comic.
Ignoring Yan Danian, who was shivering in the corner of the comic, Zhang Ya tied a strand of black hair around the headless woman's wrist. Then she leaned against Chen Ge and disappeared into the shadow.
Looking at the place where Zhang Ya had walked, there was a trail of black blood. She did not seem to be in a good condition.
"During the last fight with the Society of Strange Tales, before Zhang Ya went into hibernation, she handed me a doll to help me ward off disasters.
"This time, she tied the hair around the headless woman's wrist to force the headless woman to listen to her, probably for the same reason.
"Could it be that Zhang Ya is going to hibernation again? Is she too heavily injured? Or is she planning to make good use of the ghost baby's heart? "
Chen Ge was familiar with Zhang Ya's personality. When Zhang Ya looked at the woman in the tunnel earlier, she was probably planning to turn the woman into a 'doll', but with Zhang Ya's current physical condition, she did not have the confidence that she would succeed, so she took a step back and grabbed the headless woman, who was also heavily injured.
"Dr. Gao's condition is probably worse than Zhang Ya's, but it's better to be careful. They are both Specters who stand at the top of the Red Specters, and they have both obtained the heart related to a Greater Red Specter. If Dr. Gao succeeds first, perhaps he will escape from the door at the Haunted House one night." Dr. Gao could not control his negative emotions and curses, but that did not mean that he would not be able to control them when he became a Greater Red Specter. Once Dr. Gao recovered his rationality, he would be a very scary opponent. "Top power and top intelligence, how am I supposed to deal with that? How about I have Gao Ru Xue stay at my Haunted House in the future? And arrange a dressing room next to the toilet for her? "
"Boss!"
While Chen Ge was thinking, Lao Zhou's group arrived.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ge said that from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to give Lao Zhou a hug, but he hugged empty air. It was then that he realized something. "It's great that you're all fine."
He exchanged a few words with Lao Zhou and promised Meng Nan that he would send him back to fix the window before he pulled them back into the comic.
"Xiao Bu, the shadow has been killed, so you're free now. But you must not let your guard down. The shadow's real body, the ghost fetus, is about to be born. He might return to find you. "Chen Ge's hint was very obvious.
Xiao Bu did not give Chen Ge an answer immediately. The sound of liquid dripping came from the stairwell next to him. A woman in a red raincoat carried Xiao Bu's remaining body parts and carried Tong Tong to the rooftop.
She tried her best to open her sewn mouth a sliver like she had something to say to Chen Ge.
"Have you found your own child?" Chen Ge understood that the woman in the red raincoat had entered the ghost apartment to find her child. He had seen it with his own eyes. The ghost apartment was filled with children whose memories had been sucked out by the shadow.
The woman in the red raincoat shook her head. She placed the body parts not far away from Xiao Bu and turned to leave.
The blood on her raincoat slid down to form a few words on the ground. "I will stay here. After I find him, I will go find you."
"I know you want to thank me, but how come those words sound so scary?" Chen Ge did not stop the woman in the red raincoat. He still had many things to do.
