The shards of the mirror fell to the ground. Ding ding dong dong. Behind the scarlet mirror, the smiling face was distorted and crooked.
The corner of his lips cracked. The closer he was to death, the happier he was, and the more he wanted to laugh.
"We are called non-smilers. Father once said that we do not deserve to have a smile." The man in the mirror seemed to be reminded of something happy. His lips cracked, and even through the mirror, one could hear his shrill laughter. It was as if his father's words were the funniest joke in the world.
"Father?"
"He was a doctor at the hospital. He was not a good father, but he was the greatest doctor I have ever met." There was pain, fear, and a trace of fanaticism in the man's crazed eyes. "Other doctors only care about treating patients, but he saves people and kills people at the same time. He believes that angels and demons are hiding in people's hearts, and he has personally built heaven and hell for that."
"Is hell referring to that cursed hospital?"
"No, it is heaven, but it is a heaven that everyone wants to escape from!" The man in the mirror had completely exposed his true nature. He looked at Chen Ge and smiled happily like he liked talking to Chen Ge.
"Since it is heaven, why do you want to escape?" Chen Ge had a brief comment about the man in the mirror — madman.
"That is my father's heaven, not ours." The man's face was stuck to the surface of the mirror. The cracked surface was imprinted on his face like his face had been sliced into pieces, and it looked very scary.
"If heaven is already so scary, what will the hell that your father built be like?"
"No one has seen hell before. Do you think anyone who has seen hell can still stand before you and talk to you?" The man's eyes widened, and the corner of his lips cracked to the limit of a human. It was as if the skin on his face would be torn apart at any moment. "Hey, why would you be interested in that hospital? You know something about it. When I said that I was a school teacher, you immediately realized that I was lying. Could it be that you've seen other non-smilers before? Have you met my family? Or have you also received an invitation from that school? "
The middle-aged man in the mirror was the embodiment of evil. He was very smart, and he managed to deduce a lot of information from a few details.
Facing someone who looked so smart, Chen Ge normally would not waste time with them. He signaled at Xu Yin and found a chance to kill the man.
Whether the man was friend or foe, once he was killed, he would become nutrients for his Haunted House.
This was the lesson that Chen Ge had learned after his battle with Dr. Gao.
"Never mind, no matter if you've met my family or received an invitation from that hospital, once you're related to that hospital, you won't be able to escape anymore. He will continue to appear beside you in various forms until one day, when you open your eyes, you will suddenly realize that you are lying on a cold surgical table and start your own cursing game. "The man did not sound like he was threatening Chen Ge; he sounded like he was merely stating a fact.
"You don't need to worry about me." Chen Ge stared at the mirror. "You said you have other family members?"
"What? Can't you tell? Just like you, I used to be a living person. It's just that you were accompanied by family and friendship, and we were accompanied by pain and hatred. We lived in the gloomy and desperate hospital every day, watching death and disease spread until they crawled onto us. "
"Pa!"
The man's palm slammed heavily on the mirror, and his body was pressed against the cracks. "Father doesn't like us to cry, so we can only smile. We smile when we're in pain, we smile when we're sick, and the more pain our heart aches, the happier we smile! But we smile so hard, but he still doesn't like us. He says that our smiles are ugly, that we're not really smiling! "
The man's laughter came from the mirror. His face was squeezed between the cracks, and he banged his head against the surface. "Look, look! I'm smiling so happily, I'm smiling so happily! "
Blood leaked out from the wounds, and the man's face was scratched. He touched the blood at the corner of his lips. "We're smiling all the time, but we're called non-smilers. Isn't that funny?"
"I don't have a high EQ, so I can't understand why you're laughing, but if you tell me more information about the hospital and the school, I can consider helping you." Chen Ge had interacted with many crazy people. He was not a doctor, and he could not save those patients. The only thing he could do was not believe them, stick to his own beliefs, and not be convinced by those people.
Actually, it was very difficult to convince Chen Ge. He had seen a completely different world, and if they had a deep conversation, it was hard to say who would be convinced.
They could discuss it, but that was not necessary.
"Looks like I'm right. You've met my family before! Who could it be? My pitiful big brother? The stupidest little brother? Or the most complete big sister? Or my little sister? Impossible, if she saw you, she would definitely fall in love with you and kill you. "
"Can you be quiet for a moment?" Chen Ge felt like the man was revealing his true nature. When he stopped hiding, he was very talkative. "From now on, I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer them."
"Okay, I will tell you everything I know. You've met my family before, so I believe it must not be a happy memory. I …" The man in the mirror leaned against the surface of the mirror. His body was almost squeezed out of the surface. Blood flowed on the surface of the mirror, but he acted like he could not feel the pain. Madness and madness were not enough to describe him.
However, his action made Chen Ge realize something else. This man who called himself the non-smiler was covered in red. He was a real Red Specter!
Chen Ge thought back to the non-smiler in Li Wan City, and he realized that this crazy family appeared to be made up of Red Specters.
"What is your relationship with the patient who escaped from the cursed hospital? Why would he trap you inside the mirror? " Chen Ge went straight to the point. Even though that was what he said, he was calculating internally. This Red Specter appeared to be at his weakest. After killing him, perhaps there would be another Half Red Specter among his employees.
"The two of us are partners. With my power alone, I won't be able to escape the hospital, so I need a helper."
"Then, why were you trapped inside the mirror?"
"After escaping from the hospital, the goal was achieved. We both wanted to kill each other. That is normal."
"Is that normal?" Chen Ge was still not used to the mind of a madman. "And then? You were subdued and trapped inside the mirror? "
"Neither of us could do anything to the other. At the time, the plan was to escape the hospital and hide behind another door, but to our surprise, there was a very scary presence behind the door. It appeared to be on the same level as the hospital." The man in the mirror pointed above him. "Did you see the eyes outside the window?"
"The eyes outside the window?" Chen Ge frowned. "You mean the blood red sun that shrouded the school?"
"Yes, it is the owner of this place. My partner and I fought several times, and it attracted its attention, so we wanted to leave a way out for ourselves." The man seemed to have read Chen Ge's mind. "We wanted to find a way to enter and exit the school. We cooperated again and realized that there was a very special place at this school. There was not a normal mirror in the whole school."
"You realized that too?"
"The owner of the school did not seem to want to face himself. He hated himself and gave up on himself. He did not want to see himself." What the man said caused Chen Ge's eyes to widen. He had figured out a crucial point.
"Continue."
"So, we started to look for mirrors, and we made a surprising discovery. At this school, every mirror is made from memory, and the mirror hides the self that we once hated. When people think back to the past, they are looking at their past selves. We explored many mirrors, but there was an accident when we explored this mirror. The mirror that I was in was different from all the others. After I entered it, I realized that I could not leave. " The smile on the man's face was chilling. "After my partner noticed the abnormality, he did not follow us. That was such a shame. I should have acted more realistically."
"In such a situation, you still wanted to kill your partner. You really are a hopeless scum." Chen Ge studied the last mirror closely, and he gradually noticed the difference between this mirror and the others. The blood stains on the mirror were all printed on the inside of the mirror, and there was a layer of dust that could not be wiped away. The edges of the mirror also showed signs of being scorched by fire.
"It's been burned. Whose memory does this mirror belong to? The painter? Or the School of the Afterlife's first door-pusher? " Chen Ge wanted to kill the man in the mirror, but he gave up on that idea. To kill the man, he had to destroy the mirror or enter the mirror.
Destroying the mirror meant destroying a very important clue, and there was a chance that he would not be able to leave the mirror.
Chen Ge suddenly realized that the non-smiler in the mirror had turned the situation around without him noticing. If he was not telling the truth and was lying to him, then the man was too scary.
"Such a crazy and clever man, it's better to turn him into fertilizer." Chen Ge grumbled internally, but there was no expression on his face.
"Other than the mirror, what else did you find?" Temporarily, Chen Ge did not plan to enter the mirror. He just wanted to get as much information as he could.
"This school is much more dangerous than we expected. We cannot be fooled by appearances. Other than that, I have seen many interesting things in this mirror, but I cannot tell you now because I am still inside the mirror. If I say these things, I will be eaten by the things inside the mirror." The man was very clear. He knew a lot of information, but he would only tell Chen Ge after he was rescued from the mirror.
"I know what to do. Ol 'Bai, carry this mirror. We'll leave the nurse's office first." Chen Ge planned to play with the non-smiler after Zhang Ya woke up. The best solution now was to ignore him. "Find some clothes, cloth, anything to cover the mirror. I don't want to see this man's face."
The monster inside the mirror was very dangerous. To prevent accidents, Chen Ge did not have Xu Yin and Bai Qiulin return. After all, sometimes, danger could be found in an instant.
Chen Ge was the first to walk out of the sickroom. Yin Bai and Lee Bing were quite happy to see him, and they hurried to join him. However, when they saw Bai Qiulin and Xu Yin who followed behind Chen Ge, they stopped moving.
"Don't be afraid, they are all on our side." Chen Ge briefly introduced Bai Qiulin and Xu Yin before leading them out of the nurse's office.
"I have to find that fake doctor. Only by capturing him will I be able to verify the non-smiler's words." Chen Ge was also concerned about the hospital. The non-smiler was right. He had not accepted the mission related to the hospital from the black phone, but things related to the hospital had started to appear in his life.
He had no idea what would happen if this continued, and that made him anxious.
"I should deal with the problem before me first. If it really comes to that, and I have nowhere else to go, I'll just bring the ghost fetus with me to the cursed hospital, and we'll all die together."
That was a good idea, but Chen Ge knew that the chance of success was very small.
"Now the only good news is that I still have time. This School of the Afterlife mission is the key." Chen Ge looked at Yan Fei and Yin Bai. The two children were so weak that they needed support to walk. If one said that they had the right to become a 'door pusher', no one would believe it.
"Zhu Long and Wang Yicheng only recovered their power after their memory was awakened. Do I have to help Yan Fei and Yin Bai remember their past? But hasn't Yin Bai remembered many things already? She even met her old friend from Mu Yang High School … No! There is no mention of Yin Hong in her memory! The key memory that she is missing is with Yin Hong. Only by finding that girl will Yin Bai be complete! "
For Chen Ge, Yin Bai was different from the other door pusher candidates. Due to the relationship between the old headmaster and Mu Yang High School, he treated Yin Bai as someone he could rely on.
"I remember Yin Hong's class is not far from the nurse's office." Chen Ge returned to the place where he had first met Yin Hong. "The old headmaster came to the school many times, so he should know about Yin Hong's existence. In his heart, does he treat Yin Hong as family? "
Picking up his pace, Chen Ge was about to push open the door to Yin Hong's classroom when an announcement came from the corridor. "Emergency report! All students, please stay in the classroom and do not wander around! Emergency report! … "
The announcement kept repeating the same sentence. It was very serious like something scary had happened at the school.
"The more dangerous it is, the shorter the announcement. The painter and Chang Wenyu have started to move?" Chen Ge hurried to the window. He realized that the blood fog was several times thicker than before, and something was charging at the school in the fog.
