Chapter 0179 – The Master Grid
Breathing became difficult, as if intruding into the middle of a fog, the body seemed to be dampened, and everything in front of her eyes was covered in a thin layer of blood.
Is this the world behind the door?
Remembering Men Nan’s instructions, Chen Ge did not open his mouth to speak, holding the killing knife and skull crushing hammer, he looked around.
The walls, the floor, the furnishings in ward three, everything was the same as the world outside the door.
He turned, his heart racing as he looked back.
The door to Ward Three was open, but the scene outside the door was not a hallway in the middle of reality.
The difference was huge, it was a long, clean and tidy corridor without any clutter piled up.
The bedding and dummies on the floor were all gone, and the sick building behind the door looked as if it had always been cleaned by specialized personnel.
Chen Ge silently approached the door of the room, he put his hand outside the door, his own arm did not disappear, the door seemed to be one-way!
Unable to speak, Chen Ge couldn’t even call out to Zhang Ya if he wanted to, he walked out of Ward 3 with a stiff upper lip, and as soon as he showed his head, he saw someone in the corridor outside.
It wasn’t imaginary monsters or living or dead bodies, but a single dummy made of pillow sheets.
They seemed to stand beside the corridor like scarecrows, drawing dull expressions and giggling, unable to tell if they were happy, or in pain.
Why was there this stuff in the world inside the door as well?
Chen Ge originally thought that those dummies thrown in the bedding were just a prank, but after seeing them in the world inside the door as well, Chen Ge changed his mind.
The nurse would feed the patients medicine every night, and she even had special notebooks that recorded the names of every patient, and saved cases that had them.
The most crucial thing was that these patients had all passed away in real life, and the dummies in front of them were likely hosting their residual thoughts.
Remnants were much weaker than a stern ghost, but when the number of remnants was dozens of times that of a stern ghost, the stern ghost could not always be recruited.
While Chen Ge was sizing up the dummy, the dummy that originally had its head lowered seemed to sense something, its body turned, and its features like a child’s sketch gave Chen Ge a dull look.
Standing at the door of room number three, Chen Ge’s heart began to sweat.
The dummy’s body began to slowly move, and Chen Ge also raised his killing knife up.
The two were getting closer and closer, but the dummy didn’t have any interest in Chen Ge as it shook its body towards the other side of the corridor.
Without a purpose, without anything it wanted to do, it walked in a muddled manner, stopping to rest against the wall when it got tired, just like a puppet on strings.
Chen Ge had seen many residual thoughts, and the reason why residual thoughts were formed was because the obsession was too deep to be forgotten, so they lingered on earth.
But the residual thought in the dummy’s body was completely different, it seemed to be missing memories, or it had completely closed its heart and shut its soul into the heart room.
The dummy didn’t attack Chen Ge, so Chen Ge naturally wouldn’t have nothing to do with striking out at it, and he quietly walked out of the third room, checking the walls on both sides.
There were obvious scratches on the walls shrouded by the blood-colored mist, which should have been left by Zhang Ya.
He followed those marks to the second floor, and the moment he stepped out of the stairs, Chen Ge almost made a sound.
One by one, the corridors on the second floor were shaking with dummies, and they walked aimlessly, uninterested in the outside world.
There were too many of them, and some of the dummies were collapsed on the floor with traces of black hair scratches on their bodies, Zhang Ya might have gotten through the middle of these guys.
Chen Ge did not hesitate to directly enter the second floor.
Walking in the middle of a group of muddled dummies, Chen Ge developed a strange feeling as if he was the alien.
If he was surrounded by sick people, wouldn’t a normal person think that he was the crazy one?
He wasn’t in too good of a state at the moment, the further he went, the harder it was to breathe, his body became heavy, as if he had been thrown into the ocean and was slowly sinking.
But luckily no one attacked him, Chen Ge smoothly came to the end of the second floor, and the scratches of his black hair disappeared here.
There was a special single room in the deepest part of the second floor, Chen Ge didn’t have time to search it in the middle of the present world before he was chased by the nurses and fled to the first floor, and this single room that he missed was the electrotherapy room.
Pushing open the door, the picture inside was not quite what he had imagined.
There was only one bed in the electrotherapy room, and a four or five year old boy was bundled up on the bed.
Chen Ge walked over to the bedside, and comparing the photos, he could be sure that this child was the juvenile Men Nan.
How could he be here?
A question surfaced in Chen Ge’s heart, and after associating those memory fragments left by Men Nan, Chen Ge had a bold guess.
Door Nan’s owner Ge did meet with an accident in the world inside the door, and it was from the time he met with an accident, without the doorkeeper, that the bloody door started to go out of control.
The scratches in Zhang Ya’s hair disappeared here, proving that Zhang Ya should have come to this place, but there were no traces of a fight in the house.
Chen Ge wasn’t sure where Zhang Ya had gone afterward, and since he had found Men Nan’s master frame, he was prepared to start with Men Nan’s master frame first, as long as he could awaken this child, he would be able to have a clear understanding of the world behind the door, and he would be able to have one more helper.
Ideally this was the case, what would actually happen, he himself was not sure, he could only take a gamble.
Cutting the binding straps on the boy with the killing knife, Chen Ge gently pushed Men Nan’s body.
The boy didn’t know whether he was in deep sleep or in a coma, no matter how Chen Ge shook him, he kept his eyes tightly closed.
Not being able to speak in this blood-colored world, Chen Ge couldn’t wake the boy up after trying all sorts of ways.
He didn’t know what had happened to the boy, and his brain raced.
The person behind the scenes didn’t kill the boy, but only tied the boy up in the electrotherapy room, which meant that the boy should still be useful to him, and the other party wouldn’t just stand by and watch the boy go to his death.
A crazy thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ge silently raised the killing knife above his head, he gestured downward several times, his pupils stared at a bed board next to the boy’s neck, and he steeply stabbed down!
”Rubbing!”
The tip of the knife didn’t touch the board, and a hairy hand grabbed Chen Ge’s pig-killing knife at a distance of one or two centimeters away from the boy.
Chen Ge had been alerting his surroundings, but he still hadn’t realized where the hand had come from.
Decisively drawing his knife and pulling away, Chen Ge got a good look at the monster’s full appearance.
Without a body, the monster was a severed hand.
The hand was protecting the boy from harm, and to test it further, Chen Ge attacked the boy again.
Each of his slashes would be grabbed by the severed hand, as the number of chops increased, cracks gradually began to appear on the severed hand, just when Chen Ge thought that the severed hand couldn’t hold on and was about to flee, the sheet of the wooden bed was lifted and several severed hands ran out.
Both sides fight the movement becomes bigger, about ten seconds later, has been sleeping little boy, eyelids gently blinking a little.
