Chapter 0181 – You Woke Up the Devil
The old man’s words were summarized as the world behind the door was actually just a nightmare of Men Nan’s master frame.
When the boy wakes up, the channel connecting this world and reality may close, or it may disappear.
If Chen Ge’s own haunted house didn’t have a “door”, he might have recognized the old man’s statement, but the fact that there were “doors” in two different places was by no means explained by the nightmare of a young boy.
Chen Ge did not disclose the information that there was a “door” in his own haunted house, he looked at the old man and asked another question.
”You said that this is a boy’s nightmare, and that every single thing in it is manifested by the child’s subconscious, so can you tell me what role you play in this nightmare? Or what you symbolize in his nightmare?”
The expression on the old man’s face became a little stiff, but he didn’t hold back, “Like you, I came in from outside the nightmare. We belong to the outsiders, even in the middle of the nightmare, playing ourselves.”
”Playing yourself?” Chen Ge had come in from the outside world, and his physical appearance hadn’t changed in any way.
The old man, on the other hand, did not have a trace of the living person’s vitality, and what made Chen Ge care more was the blood-red doctor’s uniform he was wearing.
As his eyes swept over the uniform, a thought flashed through Chen Ge’s mind.
Could the old man have been wearing this jacket on his body when he entered the world inside the door? What exactly had he done to stain the white jacket red?
As early as the first time he saw the old man, Chen Ge had a guess in his heart.
The dean of the third sick building had disappeared a few years ago and had not been found until now, not seen alive or dead.
And this old man in front of him, no matter from his age or temperament, was very similar to the dean, so he guessed that the old dean had not disappeared in the first place, and that he should have entered the world behind the door for various reasons.
He had read the letters left by the old dean, and in the last letter, the old dean did show some curiosity about the world inside the door.
However, precisely because he had read the old dean’s letters and had a good impression of the old dean, he really couldn’t reunite the old dean in his imagination with this red-clothed stern ghost in front of him.
Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts in his head, Chen Ge calmed down again.
His understanding of the old dean was only through those few letters written by the dean himself.
Anyone who wrote letters to outsiders would not scandalize themselves, so the old dean shown in those letters was not necessarily the real dean.
Thinking about the electrotherapy room, as well as the crowded and dirty first patient building and the second patient building that preferred to be empty rather than housing people, Chen Ge gently inhaled and began to double his caution.
”Did you hear everything I said? Don’t ever wake this child. Put him down and I’ll take you out of the nightmare.” The old man’s voice was comforting to listen to, always making people subconsciously ignore his danger.
Chen Ge slowly walked towards the door, “I won’t hurt this child, but the prerequisite is that you tell me the way to leave first, so that I can see your sincerity.”
”Wanting to leave is simple, just step through that door ……”
”Boom!”
The old man was interrupted in the middle of his sentence as an explosive sound came from the third sick building, as if a certain room had blown up.
Hearing this sound, the old man’s expression stared, his miserable white face twisted up, no longer able to care about remaining kind and benevolent.
”What happened?” Chen Ge vaguely felt that this turn of events was related to Zhang Ya, when the old man first came in, he saw that the old man’s fingers were deformed and his arms were unnaturally twisted, obviously he had suffered an unexpected heavy blow while fending off something.
”It’s fine, a little problem.” The old man spoke insidiously, standing in the middle of the room’s door and looking up at Chen Ge: “Give me that child, I’ll take you out now.”
There was no extra expression on his ghastly white face, giving off a very eerie feeling as the old man finally tore off his disguise.
”Send me out first, otherwise there’s no negotiation.” Chen Ge’s attitude was resolute, his hand holding the knife was gently trembling because of his nervousness, this was the first time he had faced a red-clothed stern ghost directly.
”You want to leave, right? Fine, come with me.” The old man turned around directly and suddenly became aggressive.
Chen Ge didn’t dare to be careless, carefully stepping after him, he kept a distance of three meters from the old man.
In his opinion within three meters no matter what the other party did, he would be able to react in time, but without taking two steps out, he realized that he had underestimated the terror of the red clothes.
Strictly speaking, he had only taken one step, and before he could take the second step, his leg hanging in mid-air lost consciousness.
Looking down, during the conversation with the old man just now, a line of blood on the ground, which was not even visible to the naked eye, crawled up his leg, and at this moment, those lines of blood seemed to be drilling into his flesh like poisonous insects.
”Don’t you want to leave? Come with me.” The old man twisted his head, his eyes were sunken in, his face was full of wrinkles, and he smiled a very }human smile.
Chen Ge at this time that still dared to follow him and leave, he held the knife and wanted to back away, but the leg hanging in the air did not listen to the call and stepped forward!
”Is it because of those threads of blood?” Chen Ge’s scalp was numb, he didn’t know how many blood filaments had burrowed into his left leg, what was even more horrifying was that as the old man opened his mouth to speak, more and more blood filaments surged out of the cracked floor and the cracks of the wall, as if they were crawling towards Chen Ge like a small snake.
Looking at the surging blood, if it was anyone else, they would have gone crazy and started swinging the knives in their hands randomly.
But Chen Ge had an almost natural ability, the more critical the moment, the more calm he was.
The knife in his hand was placed firmly on the boy’s neck, and Chen Ge allowed those blood strands to climb up his body as he pressed his knife down.
The old man had deliberately turned around to paralyze him, but at this moment, he turned his head around to look at him.
If the old man had sufficient confidence, there was no need to go through so much trouble, he must still be worried about the boy.
Chen Ge really couldn’t figure out why the old man was afraid of the boy waking up, but in this situation, the more the old man was afraid of something, the more he had to do it.
The blade cut through the skin, and no blood flowed out of the boy’s neck, and what was even stranger was that the blood filaments manipulated by the old man would go out of control as soon as they got close to the boy, and directly followed the wound on the boy’s neck into his body.
”These blood filaments seem to originally belong to the boy, could it be that the old man just stole the boy’s power?”
Chen Ge had already discovered the old man’s secret, and he became even bolder as the blade fell completely, and a shriek from the old man was heard in his ears.
The sharp knife didn’t enter near the boy’s collarbone, and the boy, whose eyelids had been fluttering, clenched his fingers violently and opened his eyes!
The blood in the electrotherapy room instantly split into two parts, one part struggling backwards, and the other part being sucked into the boy’s body.
”You lunatic! You woke up the devil!”
The old man seemed to become even older as he turned around and ran, but before he could escape far enough, another infinite amount of black hair surged out from the other side of the corridor.
