After so many twists and turns, Chen Ge finally found the real owner of the School of the Afterlife. Even though he had only seen one of the owner's hands, this was a big improvement for Chen Ge.
"Earlier, I heard someone ask in my ear, 'Are you willing to be my friend?'
"The question did not come from the phone. I heard it clearly. It came from next to my ear."
"His words might not have been directed at Lin Sisi, but at me."
Chen Ge turned back to look. The black and red blood vessels in the cubicle had started to fall like leaves in autumn, and they had lost their vitality.
"Did you promise him?"
Wang Yicheng, who had his eyes closed on Chen Ge's back, suddenly spoke. He buried his head in Chen Ge's shoulder. His voice was so soft that one could not hear him without paying close attention.
"You can say that. He looks so pitiful." Chen Ge's neck was strangled by Wang Yicheng. Their bodies were pressed together, and he could feel Wang Yicheng's body temperature dropping.
"His friends are all dead, all of them!" The sound of dripping came from behind Chen Ge. He felt his shoulder getting wet. He turned to look, and his left shoulder was soaked in blood.
That bright red color was somewhat dazzling to the eyes.
"You …" Chen Ge tossed Wang Yicheng off his back. The boy's hands waved helplessly as he scratched at the air. Tears of blood leaked out from his closed eyes. "Are you remembering something?"
Revisiting this place, Wang Yicheng's memory was triggered. He had not opened his eyes, but when he heard what Chen Ge said, he realized what had happened.
"You can't run anymore. You promised that person, and he will come to find you. No matter where you go, he will find you!" Wang Yicheng's voice changed drastically. He had sunk into madness, completely different from the cowardice that he had shown earlier.
"Even if he doesn't come to find me, I will go find him. I like to make friends, in many ways." Chen Ge has a lot of friends, but they are not by his side, so he also wants to meet some new friends.
The blood that leaked out from Wang Yicheng's eyes slid down his cheeks. His shirt was dyed red, and the fresh blood bloomed like flowers on his skin. This boy that looked so weak had the potential to become a Red Specter.
"I'm getting more and more interested in the owner of this school. How did he get all of you into the school one by one?" Chen Ge did not expect the few club members that he had randomly found to be so special. Of course, luck played a part in that, but from another perspective, it showed how scary the School of the Afterlife was.
A Half Red Specter was enough to support a normal two-star scenario, but at the School of the Afterlife, Chen Ge had seen quite a few Red Specters and suspected Red Specters.
"Are you constantly joking to hide the panic in your heart?"
Hearing Wang Yicheng say that, Chen Ge was certain that the man had recovered his memory. The old Wang Yicheng was cowardly and would never say anything. He would only follow orders.
"I'm not joking. To have the despair to push open the 'door', there must have been hope, even if that hope has been crushed long ago. I want to help him from the bottom of my heart. Being his friend is just the first step. " Chen Ge carried Wang Yicheng out of the toilet. "Have you realized that most of the children at this school have a twisted childhood, or they are born with a physical defect, or their personalities are twisted due to external factors? Each of them has their own unforgettable memory."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm curious what the owner has been through. As the door pusher, what kind of experience has made him push open this' door '?"
"If you agree to be his friend, you'll be forced to stay forever. This school wasn't so big before. The constant addition of despair and pain caused it to become what it is now." After Wang Yicheng said that, his eyes stopped bleeding, but his body was still shaking.
"Looks like you know a lot of things." Chen Ge felt like this school was similar to his Haunted House, but the School of the Afterlife kept searching for the despairing students, or rather, it was attracting the despairing students, but Chen Ge's Haunted House welcomed them. "This school has existed for many years, right?"
"All I can remember is that when I opened my eyes, I was already here. I do not have Zhang Ju's experience. I died at this school and was reborn here. I have forgotten many things, but I know that this school has been expanding. "
"Why are you here? Is this Lin Sisi's punishment for you? "Chen Ge asked another question that he was curious about.
Wang Yicheng paused for a long time before saying, "I am the only person that Lin Sisi has spared. The reason I am here is because after Lin Sisi disappeared, I became his replacement. The fear and anxiety of the students turned into violence on me. One night, when I was about to break down, the door found me. "
"And then, you came in? Based on what Zhang Ju said, when the door first appeared, it would be very far away from where you were sleeping, and then it would slowly approach you every day … "Before Chen Ge finished, Wang Yicheng interrupted him.
"He was completely passive, but I was active. I wanted to find a corner where I could hide. Furthermore …" Wang Yicheng hesitated for a long time before revealing another secret. "At the time, the hand that reached out of the door was smeared with all kinds of paint. That was Lin Sisi's hand. He was inviting me, and I wanted to apologize to him in person. That day, I actually reported it to the teacher, but he did not come. "
"What else do you know about Lin Sisi and this door?"
"Nothing. After entering the door, I did not see Lin Sisi. Until today, I have not seen him." Wang Yicheng let go of his hands. "You can put me down."
"Are you sure you're not lying?" Chen Ge put Wang Yicheng down. "At the entrance of the western campus' toilet, once your memory showed signs of loosening, the school's manager appeared immediately. In the end, if I did not knock you out, we would have been caught already. Your treatment is completely different from Zhang Ju and Zhu Long."
"Perhaps it's because Lin Sisi is his friend, and I am Lin Sisi's friend."
The group walked past the seven cubicles. This place recorded everything that had happened to Lin Sisi, and the phone had probably only captured part of it.
"I can't imagine what the door-pusher has been through." When they were about to leave the toilet, Chen Ge turned to look at the seventh cubicle. "We can confirm that the door is in the seventh cubicle. To understand the owner of this school, we only need to investigate all the incidents that have happened in this school's toilet."
Based on the clues that they had, Chen Ge planned to go to three places — the school's archive room, the school library, and the oil painting room that he had promised Zhou Tu.
