The Red Specters behind the door lingered on the edge of life and death, so they were very sensitive.
Even though the painter's three subordinates had been fighting the other Red Specters, most of their attention was on Chen Ge.
Including the painter, everyone was curious. How did a living person like Chen Ge make so many Red Specters listen to his orders?
How did he do that? What was his trump card?
The unknown was always the scariest. The painter and his subordinates did not make a move on Chen Ge because of this. They did not know Chen Ge's trump card. They watched as Chen Ge grew stronger and more Red Specters gathered around him.
"The reason you are able to control the other Red Specters is inside the shadow?" The blindfolded man wanted to find something from the change in Chen Ge's expression.
To his disappointment, other than increasing the speed of his hands, Chen Ge did not show any strange reaction. His face was frighteningly calm.
The candies landed on the shadow, and they melted like snow.
Not only the blindfolded man, all the Red Specters around them felt a weak presence inside Chen Ge's shadow.
The presence was slowly becoming stronger like something was waking up from a dream, but this awakening process was very long.
"I remember Mr. Bai once said that there is a special presence hiding inside his shadow," Zhou Tu, who was heavily injured and hiding at the back, said as if talking to himself.
"Yes, I heard that from Mr. Bai as well." Another student that Chen Ge had brought out from the eastern and western campuses, Wang Yicheng, added softly, "Before we left the western campus, we felt it, but after leaving the western campus, it became less clear."
It was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but their conversation was heard by the people around them, and the blindfolded man heard it clearly as well.
"Your last trump card is hidden in the shadow?!"
The blindfolded man believed that the reason Chen Ge dared to enter the School of the Afterlife as a living person was because there was something inside his shadow protecting him. In fact, one could further speculate that Chen Ge was just a puppet, and the thing inside his shadow was the real mastermind.
No one at the school knew what was hiding in Chen Ge's shadow, and both the blindfolded man and Lin Sisi had a bad feeling.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a few teachers ran over from the end of the teaching block's corridor. Their leader was Dean Lei.
When the Red Specters around Chen Ge saw Mr. Lei's group, they were initially happy. After all, they had met before, so they could not be considered enemies.
However, what Mr. Lei said next shattered the fantasies of the Red Specters around Chen Ge.
"There is a Top Red Specter hiding in his shadow! He wasn't inferior to the painter or Chang Wenyu, and he had a deep connection with this school! We must stop him! " Mr. Lei and most of the teachers were on the painter's side. The painter built heaven, and they helped him manage the hell outside of heaven.
"Top Red Specter?"
These four simple words seemed to possess some kind of magical power that shook everyone's mind. Even the three Top Red Specters who were fighting above them stopped for a moment.
"To be able to hide until now, Chen Ge! You did not disappoint me! " Chang Wenyu, whose back had melded with the door and was covered in wounds and wounds, laughed like a madman. Her red eyes were filled with mockery. "Even if you kill me, you will not be able to obtain this door! The Red Specter who once destroyed this door has returned, the Specter who is afraid of the 'door' has returned! "
The situation seemed to change in an instant. Chang Wenyu screamed madly, the painter's face was dark, and the patient, who was stuck in the middle controlling the blood fog, looked confused and conflicted.
"Stop him, we have to stop him!"
Once the fourth Top Red Specter appeared, the balance would be broken. Other than Chen Ge's followers, all the other Specters and monsters started to surround Chen Ge.
They did not go after the Specters around Chen Ge but focused on Chen Ge alone. They wanted to kill him before Chen Ge summoned the Specter in his shadow.
"Stop them!"
Originally, the Red Specters and students who followed Chen Ge were shaken, but when they heard from Chang Wenyu that Chen Ge had a Top Red Specter with him, their confidence in Chen Ge instantly returned.
They were both Top Red Specters, and Chang Wenyu would not lie. They felt like they had made the right bet, so they started to do everything they could to protect Chen Ge and buy time for him.
The blood tide surged. Chen Ge, who stood in the middle, did not show any extra expression. He just kept tossing the candy from the bag into the shadow.
His shadow was like a deep pool. No one knew what was hidden at the bottom; they could only see the shadow.
The candy disappeared one after another, and the battle around Chen Ge reached its climax.
A large amount of blood clots appeared in Lin Sisi's fog, and one could hear Xu Yin's hysterical voice.
The Red Specters who surrounded the blindfolded man were all wounded. They were getting closer and closer to how they looked when they died. The blindfolded man's power was starting to take effect on them, but no one cared. Everyone risked their lives to buy time for Chen Ge.
The monsters that ran out from Mu Yang High School's old well and the monsters in the fog rushed at Chen Ge at the same time. The students from the School of the Afterlife gathered around Chen Ge to protect him. He had used his actions to win the students' approval.
"Painter, you didn't expect this, did you? My last card is not on me at all. " Chang Wenyu kept provoking the painter. She was also buying time. The door of the School of the Afterlife was about to be consumed by the three-headed demon, and the crack on the door had expanded to the point that it would be hard to repair.
The painter was not affected by Chang Wenyu, but there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He stared at the shadow behind Chen Ge, and the last 'canvas' that was covered in blood vessels silently appeared in his hands.
The monsters in the old well and fog opened up a path. Chen Ge was right before them, but all the monsters that rushed to Chen Ge were blocked by the students.
There was the sound of heavy breathing in the crowd. Saliva dripped from the corner of their lips, and a pair of venomous eyes stared at Chen Ge's back.
The four limbs moved quickly on the ground. The humanoid monster from the trash collection center was like a mantis approaching its prey. Using the cover of the deformed surroundings, he rushed to Chen Ge's side.
He aimed at Chen Ge's neck and opened his mouth.
"Bang!"
A woman's head slammed into the face of the deformed monster.
Blood dripped, and the headless woman in a red dress half-knelt behind Chen Ge. She was covered in wounds. One of her arms had been cut off, and it would not recover for a long time. Her other hand was holding her own head.
The monsters rushed forward, and the headless woman's other arm was torn off. The pale hand fell on Chen Ge's shadow, and the black hair that was tied around her wrist slowly melted into Chen Ge's shadow.
At that moment, Chen Ge's shadow seemed to become different.
The few Top Red Specters present seemed to sense something, and the three 'people' turned to look behind Chen Ge.
"She … has woken up?" The smile on Chang Wenyu's face froze, and the man controlling the fog felt a strong sense of danger.
Of the group, the painter was the calmest. He stopped hesitating.
Before anyone could react, his eyes turned dark. He looked at Chen Ge's shadow, and his bloody finger landed on the last canvas.
"Not good!"
"Chen Ge! Cover your shadow! "
Gasps came from the crowd. Chen Ge moved his body subconsciously. He lifted his head to look, and the painter was painting his shadow!
"The painter's special power?"
The painter used his last power on Chen Ge's shadow. The school that was covered in fog suddenly became quiet.
The winner had been decided. The painter could paint ghosts and take away everything from any Specter.
This power had a huge limitation, but only the painter knew what the limitation was.
"It's over …"
The blood tide surged. Chen Ge and the painter became the focus of the whole school.
On the painter's canvas, Chen Ge's shadow slowly became clearer, and the shadow's appearance changed.
"You can paint without seeing the real person?" Chen Ge felt like something inside his body was being stripped away, and something that was intertwined with his fate was slowly disappearing.
"Painting is just one of my abilities. My eyes can faintly see the outline of fate. I can follow the thread of fate and paint the thing that is related to you. "
Chen Ge's shadow kept changing on the canvas. Everyone's attention was attracted by the painter, and even Chen Ge held his heart.
The feeling was indescribable. He could feel what he was about to lose.
He wanted to roar, he wanted to shout out that name.
The shadow behind Chen Ge faded, but the shadow on the painter's canvas became clearer.
It was hard to breathe. After a few long seconds, the shadow on the painter's canvas changed shape, and it turned into the real appearance of the Specter that was hiding inside Chen Ge's shadow!
The painter's presence suddenly weakened, and everyone turned to look at the canvas that he was holding!
On the canvas that was made from human skin, there was a thin and timid boy. His body was covered with many wounds from nails.
When the shadow on the canvas stopped changing, the shadow behind Chen Ge was separated, and a small shadow stood next to Chen Ge timidly.
He hugged the sweet candy, and his mouth was still chewing on it. After a few seconds, he realized that something was wrong.
The candy rolled to the ground, and the small shadow forgot to chew. He looked into the painter's eyes and saw himself on the painter's canvas.
His body disappeared like black smoke, and the small shadow disappeared like he had never existed in this world.
"Scapegoat?" When the painter uttered these words subconsciously, the three Top Red Specters and the countless Red Specters around Chen Ge were stunned.
The Specter that was hiding inside Chen Ge's shadow, the one that was feared by so many people, was just a scapegoat that was not even a Half Red Specter!
"We've been tricked?"
The smile on Chang Wenyu's face disappeared completely, and the faces of the three Top Red Specters darkened. At that moment, no one realized that Chen Ge's shadow did not disappear but spread out like a black ocean.
