"The painter will unquestionably become the new door pusher? You have quite a lot of confidence in him. "
Different positions naturally led to different ways of solving problems.
In Lin Sisi's eyes, the painter was their only hope, the person closest to becoming a Greater Red Specter, but Chen Ge did not think so.
Be it the painter or Chang Wenyu, they were too extreme.
Until now, no one knew the real meaning behind the door's existence. Even the door pusher himself could not explain it. Under such circumstances, there was no need to forcefully change the world behind the door.
There was a reason for the door's existence, and Chen Ge's thought was simpler.
"Move aside. The students are innocent. You have no right to make them give up everything." Chen Ge stood at the front of all the students. "It was the school's door that lured them behind the door. It was not them who pushed the door open. It was the school's door that needed help, not these children."
Chen Ge's every word resonated with the students. "None of us want to go against the painter. We just want to live."
When the students behind Chen Ge saw Lin Sisi and the blindfolded man, they started to worry. Being threatened by the school's consciousness had become normal, and in a way, the painter and his men were the representatives of the school's consciousness.
Going against them meant being abandoned by the school's consciousness. In the dangerous world behind the door, losing the protection of the school's consciousness was the same as death.
They had no choice, so even if the school's consciousness went against their will, they could only follow.
But that day, Chen Ge came.
He had several Red Specters around him. He saved the trapped students in danger, dared to challenge the painter's men, and was not afraid of the teachers who represented the administrators. Everything he did was for the sake of the students.
Why would they not follow someone like that?
What reason did they have to reject someone like that?
Water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it.
The painter's men blocked the exit, and their actions ignited the resentment that was suppressed in the students' hearts.
After all, not all the students at the School of the Afterlife were ghosts. Most of them were lingering spirits that had been abducted by the 'door'. Their souls had been sucked into the door, and their bodies were still lying in the hospital like vegetables.
Before Chen Ge entered the School of the Afterlife, when he went to look for Chang Gu, he had seen many parents surrounding Chang Gu. Those parents' children were the students whose lingering spirits had been led behind the door.
Releasing a small portion of the lingering spirits would not affect the school, but if all the students' lingering spirits were released, the foundation of the school would be shaken.
The painter and the school's consciousness would not allow that to happen, so they had to stop Chen Ge.
"Chen Ge, I really don't want to fight you. You can't win." Lin Sisi slowly lowered her head and casually said, "You don't know how scary a painter can be …"
"Lin!" Before Lin Sisi finished, the blindfolded man scolded him harshly. He turned around and pulled off the black cloth that covered his eyes. "Don't forget who it was that pulled you out from the deep water and who it was that used the painting to help you preserve your last beautiful memory."
Hearing the blindfolded man's words, Lin Sisi's face slowly turned cold. It seemed like he had sealed his emotions.
"Chen Ge, neither Lin nor I hate you. The painter has high hopes for you and even wants you to join us. We shouldn't fight each other. Lead all the students back to the education block, and the painter will forgive you for what you've done."
"Forgive me?" Chen Ge took several steps back. Just as the blindfolded man and Lin Sisi thought that he was going to back down, Chen Ge spoke again. "But I don't think I've done anything wrong, so I don't need his forgiveness. It's you who should reflect on yourselves."
There were too many students who followed Chen Ge. Many of them were dragged away by the monsters in the fog, and they never returned.
The patient in the middle of the storm was worried that Chen Ge would be convinced by the painter's subordinates, so he ordered a large number of ghosts to surround and attack the students who followed Chen Ge.
With every second that passed, a large number of students disappeared.
"You'll regret this." The blindfolded man tossed away the black cloth in his hand. His eyes that had been closed slowly opened. His left eye was a sea of blood, and his right eye could only see humans and ghosts. He could not see anything else. It was as if other than blood, living people, and lingering spirits, there was nothing else in his eyes.
"I've seen how you will die."
The painter and the man who controlled the fog came to an agreement on how to deal with Chen Ge.
The monsters in the fog and the blindfolded man attacked Chen Ge's group at the same time. The only difference was that the blindfolded man and Lin Sisi only attacked Red Specters while the monsters in the fog attacked indiscriminately.
"Stop!" The old headmaster yelled. He saw with his own eyes students being dragged into the fog before him, and his lingering spirit disappeared just like that.
This was too cruel. After dying behind the door, there would be nothing left; it was the same as being wiped out by the world.
The battle between the painter, Chang Wenyu, and the man controlling the fog had reached its climax.
This was a matter of life and death, so their subordinates did not dare be careless. They tried their best to complete their master's order. Even if it meant increasing the chance of winning, it was worth it.
There was no test, and the battle started with the bloodiest massacre.
The blindfolded man and Lin Sisi's power was beyond Chen Ge's expectation. To be able to become the painter's right-hand man, they were indeed extraordinary.
Both of them could control the school's consciousness and had very scary special powers.
The blindfolded man seemed to be able to see how people looked before they died and could recreate the process of death, turning himself into fear and pain.
Lin Sisi's power was even more unique. His body could turn into a ball of fog, and no one could see what was inside the fog. Any Specter that was dragged away by the fog, be it baleful Specters or Red Specters, when they reappeared, they were covered in wounds and had lost the ability to fight.
Chen Ge had a feeling that the people who were dragged into the fog were able to come out alive because Lin Sisi did not have the intention to kill them.
Lin Sisi and the blindfolded man had special powers, and their advantage in numbers was completely nullified. The situation was not looking good.
Everyone understood the principle of capturing the ringleader first. There was a fatal weakness in Chen Ge's group, and that was Chen Ge himself. He was just a living person. If not for the Red Specters' constant protection, he would not have survived in the chaotic fog.
The blindfolded man and Lin Sisi tried to get close to Chen Ge. One after another, Half Red Specters fell before Chen Ge, and then it was the Red Specters' turn.
Most of the Red Specters who followed Chen Ge were injured, and the key was that other than Xu Yin, no other Red Specter would risk their lives to protect Chen Ge.
There were two enemies, but there was only one Xu Yin.
The enemy was coming, and his friends were falling one after another. Blood waves kept surging out from the red city, and the situation was getting worse.
The battle between the three Top Specters above them had not been decided yet, and they had reached their limit. The final winner would take everything.
Han Song and Yin Hong went around to put out the fire, protecting all the students who followed Chen Ge from being slaughtered by the monsters in the fog. The remaining Red Specters gathered around Chen Ge to stop the blindfolded man and Lin Sisi.
"You won't give up until you see the coffin." Lin Sisi morphed into fog, and no one could stop him. Therefore, the group surrounded the blindfolded man. He felt the pressure and glanced at the mouth of the well.
The monster crawling at the mouth of the well cackled. His limbs leaned against the wall of the well, and he poked his head into the well.
Just as everyone was wondering what he was doing, the sound of water came from the well. The sound grew louder and louder until it sounded like waves crashing against the rocks.
When the monster poked his head out again, everyone who saw him frowned.
The monster's body and head were upside down. He laughed strangely as he charged at Chen Ge. After he left, many human heads popped out from the well like black bubbles.
"What is that?"
The strange laughter joined together, and many monsters crawled out from the well upside down.
"That well hides the painter's biggest secret. It is a twisted world, and these people are the people in the painter's mind." After saying that, Lin Sisi charged at Xu Yin. He could see how much importance Chen Ge placed on Xu Yin.
Xu Yin was engulfed by the grey fog.
"Xu Yin!"
Chen Ge watched as Xu Yin disappeared into the fog. It felt like a complete person was suddenly missing a piece.
The monsters that rushed out from the well charged at Chen Ge's team. Almost all the Red Specters were held back. Standing in the middle of the chaos, Chen Ge was surprisingly calm.
The situation was out of control. The painter had many tricks up his sleeves, and he was a man that no one could see through.
Chen Ge looked at the gift box in his arms. He reached out to take out a candy from the bag next to the gift box.
The milky candy gave off a tempting scent, but the begging faces on it affected his appetite.
Chanting the name in his heart, Chen Ge tossed the candy lightly onto his shadow.
The candy fell, and nothing happened, but Chen Ge's strange action attracted the attention of others.
"What are you doing?" The blindfolded man was surrounded by multiple Red Specters, but he still had the energy to observe Chen Ge. This man was the scariest Specter at the school other than the painter and Chang Wenyu.
Chen Ge did not answer. He took out another candy and placed it on his shadow.
This time, the candy changed. It was slowly melting like it was being absorbed by something inside Chen Ge's shadow.
"What are you hiding inside your shadow?" The blindfolded man had a bad feeling. He let out a shrill scream, and the monsters that crawled out from the well rushed at Chen Ge in a frenzy.
