"Sir, don't say that. The past is in the past. We need to live in the present."
Chen Ge coughed drily. He really did not expect to run into the old headmaster at the School of the Afterlife.
His entry into the school was an accident. Thankfully, he maintained his good habit. No matter where he went, he would bring all his employees with him. There was strength in numbers, and he might be able to use one of his employees' special power. Even if they did not have any special power, they would be able to boost his courage.
With so many coincidences, this situation was formed. It looked accidental but also inevitable, and it made his scalp go numb.
"It's easy to remember the past when I'm old. Seeing you reminds me of your parents. They have helped me a lot." The headmaster felt guilty. "Actually, when you first entered Mu Yang High School, I noticed you. It was then that I had the idea to save Xueyin."
"Don't mind that." Chen Ge was worried that Yin Hong might hurt the old headmaster, so he took a few steps forward.
"You asked me to say it. Some things have been bottled up in my heart." The old headmaster shook his head. "The School of the Afterlife is very dangerous. I know the chance of me saving Xueyin is not high. If I can't return, the other children will be in trouble. I worry about them, so I asked you to take care of them."
The old man paused. "Your parents helped me, but I used you. Now, to find me, you voluntarily came to such a dangerous place. I really don't know what to say."
"Sir, even though this place is dangerous, there's no need to despair." Chen Ge's eyes skipped over the old headmaster to look at Yin Hong, who was hiding behind the old man. "I came in fully prepared."
He flipped through the comic, and the yellowed pages rustled. Red blood leaked out from them. This normal-looking comic had a page that was blood red.
BANG! BANG! BANG! The sound of knocking echoed around them. A pale arm reached out from the page, and a lock of black hair was tied around her wrist.
The stench of blood in the air thickened. Fingers, arms, shoulders, a headless woman crawled out from the comic. But that was not all. She reached her hand into the pages, and after searching for a long time, she pulled out a woman's head.
The blood-red dress fell to the ground. The female ghost held her head and stood quietly on the left side of Chen Ge.
"Don't be afraid. They're all on our side." Chen Ge unzipped his backpack, put away the comic, and took out a pair of blood red high heels from the deepest part of his backpack.
He casually placed the shoes on the desk next to him. Suddenly, the classroom was filled with the sound of footsteps, and blood-red footprints appeared one after another on the floor. Finally, the footprints stopped on the right side of Chen Ge.
"Xu Yin."
Chen Ge called Xu Yin's name softly, and the stench of blood rushed at him. Xu Yin, who stopped hiding his true nature, tilted his head to look at the old headmaster. The whole classroom felt like it was covered in a sea of blood!
Not including Bai Qiulin, Chen Ge was surrounded by three Red Specters!
"Are these enough?"
The old headmaster did not expect Chen Ge to bring so many Red Specters with him. His eyes widened. "Yes, as long as we're careful, we …"
"I know it's not enough." Before the old headmaster finished, Chen Ge continued. "That's why I entered the School of the Afterlife earlier. I've already negotiated with the three Red Specters at this school. Since we have a common interest, they have agreed to cooperate with me."
"In other words, there will be six … six Red Specters to help us?" The old headmaster knew how scary a Red Specter was. They were the symbol of despair, cruelty, and pain. If he encountered them alone, other than having his soul destroyed, he could not think of a second ending.
"The six Red Specters are just pawns that I use to confuse the enemy. My real trump card …" Chen Ge turned to look at his shadow, and his eyes softened. "is the Greater Red Specter!"
Hearing the words that came out of Chen Ge's lips, the old headmaster started to doubt his ears, but he did not dare ask. In fact, he did not even have the courage to repeat those words.
The young man before him was too scary. If not for the fact that he saw the three Red Specters standing next to him, the old headmaster would not have believed him.
He was just a Half Red Specter; they were not on the same level.
"Now, what do you think are the chances of us winning?" Chen Ge stood before the old man. His expression was serious; he did not look like he was joking.
"If that's really the case, then there's a ninety percent chance that we can escape the school safely."
"Only ninety percent? And that's just escaping from the school? " Chen Ge frowned slightly. Including Zhang Ya, who was still asleep, they only had a ninety percent chance of escaping. It looked like they could not face the school head-on. They had to follow the school's rules and use the school's consciousness to its fullest.
"You can listen to my plan first." The old headmaster had already treated Chen Ge as one of his own. "Your father did not tell me why this school appeared. He only told me that the door at the school has been looking for bullied and helpless children. That is why Xueyin entered the door. He studied this door closely and found something special. The school behind the door is actually made up of multiple schools, and it is a mixture of the memories of all the bullied children. "
"But what does that have to do with your plan?" Chen Ge did not quite get it.
"Of course it does. In those children's memories, there is a place called Mu Yang High School." The old headmaster sighed. "This is my fault. Before this, something unpleasant happened at Mu Yang High School. One of the children dropped out because of that, and his adoptive father sent him to the countryside. The child was very honest. Even though he was not good at school, he was very good at drawing."
"Drawing?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Go on." Chen Ge waved his hands.
"Coincidentally, Mu Yang High School in the School of the Afterlife is an abandoned school. There is a gap hidden in the school, like a scar that will never heal in the owner's heart."
"Where is that gap?"
"The abandoned well at the back of the field. That well leads out of the school." Everything that the old headmaster said next shocked Chen Ge. "After leaving this school, we will enter a city that is shrouded in blood fog. We need to keep heading west, and no matter what we see, do not turn back. No matter who calls your name, do not answer. We will keep walking until we enter an abandoned mental hospital. There is a broken window in the third building of the hospital. Once we enter that window, we will be completely safe. "
"The third building of an abandoned mental hospital?" Chen Ge thought that sounded familiar. The old headmaster's description sounded like the Third Sick Hall that Meng Nan stayed at!
"Yes, this is what your father told me. When I first came to visit Xueyin, it was your father who led me into the school through that window. Unfortunately, your parents disappeared, and the door was taken over by some evil spirits. When I barged in with the thought that I was going to die, I realized there was no one there. "The old headmaster sighed." Perhaps even the heavens want me to accompany Xueyin. "
There was no such coincidence in the world. Chen Ge's brain was spinning.
Dr. Gao had gone mad after entering the red city for a week, so with the old headmaster's power alone, he would not have been able to cross the red city from the Third Sick Hall to the School of the Afterlife!
Someone had to be protecting him! Or rather, something was protecting him!
With his eyes red, an answer appeared in Chen Ge's heart. He gritted his teeth and did not say the words out loud.
It was Chen Ge's father who told the old headmaster everything about the School of the Afterlife, and it was also Chen Ge's father who broke the window at the Third Sick Hall!
"Why would he spend so much effort to send the old headmaster into the School of the Afterlife?" Chen Ge gripped his fists, and his eyes wandered to the blood sun outside the window. The despair that was condensed from endless negative emotions was boiling. The children could not be freed. They screamed in pain, but no one could hear them, no one could understand them, and no one was willing to accompany them.
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ge suddenly thought of a possibility. "Could it be that he wants the headmaster of Mu Yang High School to become the headmaster of the School of the Afterlife?"
His heart was racing. Chen Ge held the edge of the table and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
