To find the old headmaster, Chen Ge had visited Mu Yang High School several times. This was the closest he had gotten to the old headmaster. Whoever stood in his way would be his enemy.
From how Chen Ge saw it, this kind of scene where he walked around in circles and brushed past the old headmaster would only appear in a third-rate television series. He had already made up his mind. No matter the cost, he would find the old headmaster.
It was not only because the old headmaster knew the way out of the School of the Afterlife but also because he knew a lot about his parents. That would help him understand the Haunted House, the black phone, and even himself.
"Abandoning the whole family to risk his life in a four-star scenario, does he even care about the other children in his class?"
Chen Ge did not know the answer to that question, so he wanted to ask the old headmaster in person.
The atmosphere at the School of the Afterlife became weirder. The windows in the corridor rattled, and the red fog stuck to the glass. One could see cracks on the glass.
Most of the three-star scenarios behind the door are enclosed scenarios. For example, the Third Sick Hall. Li Wan City is a special case, so the black phone gave it a 3.5-star rating … Chen Ge looked at the window, and questions kept popping up in his mind. I once saw a broken window at the Third Sick Hall. Men Nan has been trying to fix the crack. According to him, if he doesn't fix the crack and it's seen by other things, it might attract some very dangerous things.
The Third Sick Hall is enclosed. Due to its weakness, Meng Nan has never thought about leaving the scenario. He doesn't dare and doesn't want to know what's outside the Third Sick Hall.
Looking at the thick red fog outside the window, Chen Ge was reminded of Coffin Village. The world behind that village's door is also blood red, but the woman in the well is much stronger than Meng Nan, comparable to Zhang Ya before she consumed the shadow's heart. That's why she has the power to protect that small village. But from the looks of it, she has been studying how to reincarnate as a human, trying to get rid of her identity as a baleful Specter. She should have seen something very scary and difficult behind the door, and that's why she's so anxious.
"To be able to scare a Top Red Specter, this must be the real scary presence behind the door."
Chen Ge was reminded of his battle with Doctor Gao at the underground morgue. Doctor Gao had chosen to bear all the sin behind the door alone. He had buried the door and personally destroyed the door that he had pushed open.
After the "door" collapsed, the ceiling, which was made up of blood vessels and organs, fell, and blood-red moonlight shone down from above.
Chen Ge remembered what he had seen clearly. He looked down the gap in the underground morgue, and there was a blood red city.
"That boundless red city is what's outside these scary scenarios? Or could it be that all the scary scenes, no matter how many stars the difficulty is, actually all exist in that blood-red scene? "
Chen Ge felt that he was getting closer to the truth, but he was also getting more and more worried.
Doctor Gao was the scariest opponent that he had ever faced. He was meticulous, powerful, and had many helpers. Chen Ge even suspected that his final suicide was a part of his plan.
However, such an invincible presence had turned into a madman wrapped in chains in just a few days after leaving the original scenario and entering the red city.
The thing that shocked Chen Ge the most was that Doctor Gao loved his wife when he was still alive. That was the belief that had supported him.
From Chen Ge's perspective, even if Doctor Gao's soul was destroyed, he would not allow anyone to harm his wife, not even her dead body.
But the reality was, when they met again, only his wife's head was left beside Doctor Gao.
Chen Ge did not dare imagine what Doctor Gao had experienced behind the door and what kind of evil presence he had run into.
That was why he had decided to ally with Doctor Gao in Li Wan City. He wanted to get to the bottom of everything behind the door because he suspected that his parents had also entered the red city.
"I've seen many three-star scenarios, and they're completely sealed. Then, a four-star scenario …" Chen Ge was thinking when he heard a crisp sound next to his ear.
"Pa!"
The glass on the window next to him suddenly shattered, and glass shards rained down on him, but thankfully, Xu Yin blocked them.
"The glass shattered?"
The glass window of the school was shattered, and this scenario was connected to the outside world. Through the blood fog, one could see the outline of a building. The weirdest thing was that the distance between the building and the school was slowly closing like they could move.
"This way!" Shouts and footsteps came from the end of the corridor. Chen Ge quickly had everyone hide inside a nearby classroom.
The blood fog slowly surged into the classroom through the broken window like a red python searching for its prey.
Moments later, seven men in school uniforms and the teachers hurried over. The leader was Mr. Lei, whom Chen Ge had met earlier.
They carried various tools in their hands, and in less than ten seconds, they fixed the window. However, to Chen Ge's surprise, when they came to fix the window, there were seven of them, but when they left, there were six of them. One of them had disappeared without anyone noticing.
"Each broken window represents a soul or a kind of obsession?" Lightning flashed through Chen Ge's mind. "The door-pusher pushed open the door when they were at their most desperate. Their despair can be considered some kind of obsession, and it can't be undone, so they sink deeper and deeper. This despair isolates their soul from the world, and it is this layer of obsession that prevents their scenario from interacting with the red city. That's why these scenarios are completely sealed off.
"For a three-star scenario, a broken window is a very dangerous thing. They have never interacted with the red city before, but four-star scenarios are different. Based on how Mr. Lei and the rest reacted, they seem to run into this kind of thing often. They are already used to the red city outside of the scenario."
The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more logical he felt. The original door-pusher of the School of the Afterlife had been consumed, and the door had become riddled with holes, but thankfully, it had not been destroyed. After surviving the hardest period, the door had become different.
"This anomaly outside the school is probably caused by the painter or Chang Wenyu. I have no idea what these two madmen will do next. It's getting more and more chaotic."
After Mr. Lei and the rest left, Chen Ge led everyone out of the classroom and continued to run toward the western side of the school.
There was no one else in the corridor, and the warning from the loudspeaker had stopped. There was only dead silence.
