The blood rain in the sky had stopped. In the world that was covered by the black hair, the teardrop looked very special.
Zhang Ya did not say a word. Compared to communication, she preferred to use her actions to prove herself.
The black hair started to shrink, and the teardrop had nowhere to escape. In the end, it was caught in Zhang Ya's palm.
Screams and wails came from the teardrop. Other than the patient's own voice, there were other people's voices. They appeared to be his family, and the teardrop contained many things.
Listening to the voice in the teardrop, Zhang Ya's pale fingers slowly tightened like she wanted to crush the teardrop.
When she did that, the crying in the red city became clearer, and something was closing in.
"Don't kill him! He is that person's tear, a part of his memory, a part of his humanity. " Chang Wenyu's voice came from the three-headed demon's mouth, but Zhang Ya did not care. When her fingers loosened, the teardrop had disappeared, and a teardrop pattern appeared on her black and red dress.
The black hair kept gathering. After Zhang Ya got rid of the patient's clothes, she stared at the door under her feet.
She reached out to touch the three-headed demon on the door. When she touched it, her pale arms felt like they were being burned by fire or like a wilting flower.
Zhang Ya had gotten used to the feeling of pain. She did not mind it at all, and her determination was scary.
Soon, the cracks on the door appeared on Zhang Ya's arms. All the demons on her black and red dress started to howl, and black and red blood vessels crawled up Zhang Ya's arms to the door of the School of the Afterlife.
The door seemed to know that Zhang Ya was helping it, and it cooperated fully. Only Chang Wenyu's unwilling roar could be heard in the school.
"This door can move on its own, and it has its own consciousness. It can trick living people who are lost. It has broken the limit! If you help it, you will be dragged into it as well! "
No matter what Chang Wenyu said, Zhang Ya was indifferent. Ever since she experienced death, she no longer cared about what others said.
Under the combined efforts of Zhang Ya and the door, the three-headed demon pattern gradually lost its vitality, and the scarlet eye was plucked off by Zhang Ya!
The pattern did not disappear, and Zhang Ya did not seem to have the ability to completely remove the demon pattern. She could only make it sleep temporarily.
The door of the School of the Afterlife stopped splitting and started to heal on its own. Zhang Ya accepted Chang Wenyu's single eye and stood at the door for a long time.
Her presence fluctuated, and maintaining the sea of black hair was difficult for her. The sea of black hair around the school was slowly shrinking until it only protected the area around the education block.
The black hair isolated the School of the Afterlife from the red city. The students at the School of the Afterlife could only hear the cries coming from outside, but they could not see what was outside.
After the ordeal, the door finally became more obedient. It stopped before Zhang Ya like it was waiting for Zhang Ya to push it open.
From what the painter said earlier, Zhang Ya had forcefully awakened this time. She was injured, and she was in a special state.
She had the power of a Greater Red Specter, but she could not control it completely.
If she could push open the door of the School of the Afterlife and become the new door pusher, with the help of the school's consciousness, she would not only be able to stabilize her condition, but she might even be able to improve.
After all, the door pusher could multiply her power when she was behind the door.
Staring at the cracked door, Zhang Ya's hand pressed on the door, but she did not push it.
Her eyes moved away from the door, and Zhang Ya looked into the school like she was looking for someone.
Becoming the door pusher would gain the school's help and gain power, but she would lose something.
The door pusher could not leave the scenario behind her door for a long time, and she had to bear the sin behind the door.
The pale and slender fingers slowly pulled back. The crying outside the School of the Afterlife was getting closer. Blood leaked out between the gaps of the black hair that wrapped around the school. In the end, Zhang Ya did not push open the door to the School of the Afterlife but used the black hair to wrap around the door and walked out of the school.
"Zhang Ya!"
Chen Ge put the black phone away. Before he could look at the message, he saw Zhang Ya walking out of the school.
The black hair parted to reveal Zhang Ya's increasingly beautiful face. She looked at Chen Ge with a light smile on her face. Then, she walked through the school and headed toward the red city.
"She wants to face the monster that escaped from the red city alone?"
Through the curtain of black hair, Chen Ge had no idea what was happening outside the school. Even though Zhang Ya was the Red Specter who had been with him the longest, the longer they spent time together, the more secrets he discovered.
Placing Chang Wenyu's uniform where it was, Chen Ge did not choose to return to the education block with the other students but waited on the field.
There was no one else around. Chen Ge swiped the black phone. After Zhang Ya plucked out Chang Wenyu's single eye, the black phone vibrated again, signaling that he had received a new message.
Clicking on the new message, the content surprised Chen Ge.
"Congratulations, Specter's Favored! Congratulations for unlocking a new employee page! "
A new employee page has been unlocked?
Chen Ge was confused. Of all the employees that he had, only Zhang Ya had a page. "Did Xu Yin and the headless woman break through some kind of limit?"
Scrolling through the phone, when Chen Ge saw the new page, he was shocked.
Zhang Ya's exclusive page was blood red, but the background of this new exclusive page was gray, and there were countless strands of black hair crawling on it.
In the middle of the hair was a crazed girl. She ignored all rules, and her body was covered in wounds. There was a desire that bordered on madness in her single eye.
"Single eye? Chang Wenyu? Why would she have her own page on the black phone? And it's gray? "
Touching Chang Wenyu's page, there was only one line on the phone — 'Lingering soul, still alive.'
"Is this because Chang Wenyu has come into contact with the black phone on her own? Is this the black phone's revenge? All the Specters that have come into contact with the black phone will either become one of us or perish their souls? "Chen Ge clicked on the other messages on the black phone.
After he entered the School of the Afterlife, the four-star Trial Mission, School of the Afterlife, had been triggered.
Comparing the timeline, whenever he was in danger, the black phone would give him a hint. Alas, the phone had been swapped by Chang Wenyu, so he did not see it.
Scrolling down, Chen Ge still did not find the hint that he had completed the mission. He was annoyed, and he kept glancing outside the School of the Afterlife.
In just a few minutes, the black hair that enveloped the School of the Afterlife slowly disappeared like a receding tide.
Following the disappearance of the black hair was the crying outside the School of the Afterlife.
The blood fog floated into the School of the Afterlife again, and a woman's figure could be seen in the fog.
The black and red dress dragged on the ground. She was surrounded by Specters, and screams and wails echoed around her.
"Zhang Ya!"
The annoyance in Chen Ge's heart disappeared instantly. He ran toward the woman in the fog, but when he was several meters away, a lock of black hair stopped him.
Due to some reason, Zhang Ya did not allow Chen Ge to get close.
"Are you alright? We're going home now. "
Hearing Chen Ge's voice, Zhang Ya's lips moved like she wanted to say something to Chen Ge, but she did not say anything.
Her presence had weakened a lot. The black hair on her back slowly parted to reveal the hidden door.
Zhang Ya turned to Xu Yin like she wanted Xu Yin to open the door, but Xu Yin shook his head.
No one knew what had happened to Zhang Ya and the door. Chen Ge only knew that both Zhang Ya and the door were very weak.
Other than Xu Yin, Zhang Ya did not trust anyone at the School of the Afterlife.
She let go of the door. The door was about to shatter, but when Zhang Ya let go, it disappeared.
At the same time, a sound came from one of the cubicles on the top floor of the education block. Everyone turned to look.
Light red blood vessels started to spread from the last cubicle on the top floor of the education block to the rest of the education block.
The Specters and the half-dead monsters slowly disappeared. The blood vessels took root in their bodies and used them as materials to repair the School of the Afterlife.
"This door still doesn't have a door-pusher, but this is the best result." Chen Ge pulled back his gaze and turned to look at Zhang Ya. Suddenly, he realized that Zhang Ya was standing before him. At that moment, she had taken off her red dress, and she looked like a normal girl.
Their eyes met, and Zhang Ya passed through Chen Ge's body and disappeared into his shadow.
"That … was an illusion, right?"
When Zhang Ya passed through him, the chill on his body had lessened a lot like all the discomfort had been taken away by Zhang Ya.
Looking at his own shadow, Chen Ge slowly squatted down. He reached out to touch his shadow's face like a madman.
No one disturbed Chen Ge, and he stood up after a long time.
"Let's go. We've wasted too much time here. It's time to go home."
Leading all the employees back to the education block, Chen Ge followed his plan and had the old headmaster stay.
The students did not know the actual situation between Zhang Ya and the door. They all thought that Zhang Ya was the owner of the School of the Afterlife, and the old headmaster was the manager that Zhang Ya had chosen.
"In the future, you will respect this new headmaster from the bottom of your heart." Chen Ge had confidence in the old headmaster. After confirming the new manager, he started to count the students at the school.
The loss of the school's consciousness was not that serious, mainly because the painter had taken most of the damage.
"Those who are willing to leave the school can come with me. Those who are unwilling can continue to live here. In the future, this will be your home."
Foul Odor chose to leave with Chen Ge. Zhu Long, Zhang Ju, Yin Hong, and Han Song chose to stay. For them, the world behind the door was where they should be.
With the help of these few Red Specters, the old headmaster's work would be smoother.
Most of the senior students did not leave. They had gotten used to the school.
Those who chose to leave were all lingering spirits and lingering souls. Some of their bodies were still lying in the hospital, in a permanent coma.
After these spirits went through so many trials at the school, the knot in their hearts was untied. They were no longer in despair. They wanted to face the horrible, scary, and inescapable reality that hid light.
There were many students who left. The door of the School of the Afterlife could move freely, and the range of spirits that it lured was very wide, not just Jiujiang.
"After you leave, if you still find it hard to adapt or have nowhere to go, you can find me at Western Jiujiang's New Century Park. My Haunted House will be your other home."
The words Western Jiujiang's New Century Park were deeply imprinted in the minds of all the spirits. It was not that Chen Ge wanted free help; he was indeed thinking for the sake of the students.
The School of the Afterlife needed a long time to recover. Chen Ge could not stay there forever. He hugged the gift box that he had taken from Zhang Ya's dormitory and dragged the unconscious Chang Gu. He had Foul Odor carry the mirror that hid the non-smiler and the doll that the previous headmaster had turned into.
The non-smiler was related to the cursed hospital. If Chen Ge wanted to obtain information about the hospital, he had to take it with him. The previous headmaster of the School of the Afterlife knew too many secrets about Zhang Ya, and Chen Ge planned to find a chance to return it to Zhang Ya.
After dealing with everything, he summoned all the employees and went to the top floor of the education block with the spirits who were preparing to leave.
No matter how much despair they had experienced, these children had chosen to leave, and Chen Ge respected their choice.
"If you stay behind the door for too long, you will be assimilated by this blood red world. It will lead you into an even darker abyss. You are very lucky to have run into me. Now, the nightmare is over." Chen Ge walked into the toilet at the top floor of the education block. This was the source of the blood vessels. He stopped before the last cubicle.
The cubicle door was covered in cracks and wiggling blood vessels. It looked quite scary.
"You are the most unique door that I've ever seen. Since Zhang Ya let you go, it means that she has her own plans. I will not interfere, so I hope you will take care of yourself." Chen Ge did not get any response from the door. He raised his arm to grab the doorknob. When he pushed the door with all his might, a very strange connection appeared between his heart and the door.
In that moment, Chen Ge seemed to see three doors standing in his mind.
He blinked, and everything returned to normal. Chen Ge did not feel any discomfort, and he continued to push.
The blood vessels slid to the side, and the door of the School of the Afterlife slowly opened.
Countless voices appeared behind Chen Ge, and the lingering spirits turned into wind and rushed out.
Standing at the door quietly, after making sure that he had not missed anything, Chen Ge grabbed the old headmaster's arm. "Sir, after I leave, I'll leave the School of the Afterlife to you. The school's consciousness is made up of every student here. When you gain their approval, you will naturally become the real door pusher. From a certain perspective, this door is very fair. "
"I cannot promise you anything, but I can only try my best."
"That's enough." Chen Ge turned to Xu Yin, and the latter understood. He left a drop of blood for the old headmaster. "If you wish to contact me, swallow this blood, and I will know. Other than that, sir, I have one more thing to ask of you. "
"What is it?"
"If you obtain any information related to my parents, you have to tell me." Chen Ge looked at the blood red city outside the window. "I have a feeling that I'm very close to them."
After giving all the orders, Chen Ge hugged the gift box, carried his backpack, and dragged Chang Gu out from the bleeding door with his other hand.
…
"Pa!"
A crisp sound echoed in his ears, and Chen Ge slowly opened his eyes.
The ground was covered in broken mirrors, and before him was a white hospital bed.
He slowly sat up and realized that Chang Gu was lying on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices. It was hard to tell whether he was dead or alive.
On the bed not far away, Chang Wenyu lay quietly on the white bed. She was unmoving like a dead body that had lost all signs of life.
This was Chang Wenyu's sickroom. After a long night, Chen Ge had finally returned.
The black phone in his pocket kept vibrating, and Chen Ge subconsciously took it out.
Swiping the screen, the messages reflected in his eyes.
