The palm lines stopped turning black, and the anxiety that had been haunting Chen Ge's heart slowly dissipated. He felt like his breathing had become smoother.
The shadow did not lie to him. At the moment of life and death, he had made the right decision.
After the palm lines on Chen Ge's palm stopped turning black, the shadow's body started to fade. Earlier, he was about to materialize.
"I still can't trust you."
Even with all the benefits, Chen Ge did not plan to let the shadow go. There was only one chance, and he had to make good use of it.
When the weakened shadow heard Chen Ge's words, he jumped up in panic. He tried to fight for the door handle again, and the result was another nail sticking out of his neck.
It was too cruel.
The shadow's facial features were blurry, and no one could see his expression clearly. After being tricked twice, he did not dare get close to Chen Ge anymore.
As a primordial ghost, the shadow did not dare to imagine that he would be forced to this extent by a scapegoat.
The blood was about to consume the art room. Everything here would be buried by the blood. The shadow waved his hands. If he did not leave now, his soul would really dissipate!
"You're a cunning, cruel, and scary ghost, and I'm just a normal person. There's a huge difference in our power, so how am I supposed to trust you? I don't understand the process of scapegoating, and I don't know the deeper meaning behind the palm lines turning black. Even if you've done something to me, I won't be able to tell. "
Chen Ge could sense the change that was happening inside the art room. The strange paintings were dyed red, and the upside down paintings were slowly returning to normal. The color of blood covered everything, and the two inside the room appeared to be slowly dragged into the deep sea by a force that they could not escape from.
The shadow was unable to speak. He jumped where he was and waved his hands wildly.
"You're trying to say that you're not lying to me?" Chen Ge also knew that he could not stay there for long. He stuck his body to the door and stood at the spot closest to the exit. He could rush out at any moment. "Fine, I'll trust you this once, but I hope to see your sincerity."
The black shadow instantly understood what Chen Ge meant. He found it hard to believe that he would be blackmailed by someone who had kicked him to death.
"You used to stay in Room 413, so you should know a lot about Lin Sisi. I need you to tell me everything you know. Do not hide anything." Chen Ge spoke quickly.
The shadow nodded madly when he heard that. He wanted to move forward, but Chen Ge pulled out another nail from his pocket.
"Secondly, you live in the same dormitory as Lin Sisi. Do you know the password for his phone?" Lin Sisi's cell phone was the most important item that Chen Ge had obtained. Unfortunately, he did not have the password, so he could not use this important item.
The shadow paused for a moment. Just as he was about to express his thoughts, Chen Ge said again, "Don't even think about lying. I have his phone!"
Chen Ge took out his phone from his pocket and swiped the screen. "Tell me!"
Seeing the phone, the shadow's reaction was strange. He took half a step back subconsciously and then started to sign a few numbers for Chen Ge.
“51413？”
Chen Ge felt that the number was quite familiar. Whenever the shadow signed a number, he would enter it. After entering all five numbers, the phone was unlocked.
"This is an important reward!"
Memorizing the password, Chen Ge gripped the door handle and left the art room as soon as he could.
He was a very kind person. After he left the art room, he did not close the door to stop the shadow from leaving.
After the shadow ran out from the door, Chen Ge closed the door again.
Blood flowed everywhere inside the door, drowning everything, but outside the door, everything was normal, unaffected.
Chen Ge suspected that this had something to do with the paintings.
"Who is the painter of those paintings? There are thirteen easels, so there should be thirteen painters, but their painting style and theme are so similar. Could it be that their teacher is the same person? "
With one problem solved, many new questions rushed into his mind. Chen Ge stopped where he was. He was frowning in thought when he felt a chill run down his back.
Turning back to look, the shadow was expanding. His facial features started to change, his body started to twist, and his ten fingers became like the claws of an animal.
After being angered so much inside the room, the shadow was filled with anger.
"If you kill me, who will be your scapegoat?" Chen Ge opened his arms, and his expression was even calmer than before. "If I'm not mistaken, everyone at this school is looking for a scapegoat, and there are very few suitable candidates."
Voluntarily taking a step forward, Chen Ge lifted his head to look at the scary shadow. "After you successfully captured me to be your scapegoat, you immediately went into hiding. Looks like you're afraid yourself. You're afraid that after you've succeeded, you'll be targeted by other 'people'. Am I right?"
The dark claws dangled by Chen Ge's neck. The shadow's heart was filled with resentment, like he was still holding a grudge against Chen Ge for using the nails to stab his neck earlier.
"I'm your scapegoat, and you're my ghost. This is the deepest bond between us, and no one can replace it."
Chen Ge's expression gave off a very warm feeling. He reached out to hold the shadow's hand, but his hand passed through the shadow. "We're not only not enemies, we're allies. Think about it. You can't kill me because no one will be your scapegoat, and I'm just a normal person. I won't be able to survive at this school, and I might be ambushed at any moment. The only person I can rely on and trust is you because I know you won't be able to kill me. "
The claws stopped by Chen Ge's neck. The shadow thought about it. Chen Ge's words did make sense, but the harmony between the scapegoat and the ghost still gave him a strange feeling.
"This school is full of schemes and murderous intent. Everyone has ulterior motives. Cooperation and trust are practically impossible, but the two of us have broken this curse. We're the most suitable allies!" Chen Ge walked toward the shadow. "Even if the scapegoat is completed, you won't be able to leave this school. How about the two of us work together to find a way out?"
Looking at Chen Ge, who was standing before him, the shadow was not just shocked. He had never been in a situation like this before.
"I'm in the light, and you're in the dark. If we work together, we'll definitely surprise many people." Chen Ge was accomplishing something that was almost impossible. At least at this school, no one had done it before.
The shadow's body returned to normal. He hesitated for a long time before using his hands to form a few words.
"You want to know why I'm not afraid of you?" Chen Ge shook his head. "It's not that I'm not afraid of you. In fact, I'm scared to death. I'm just pretending. Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. What else do you know about Lin Sisi? "
