Chapter 0182 – Dr. Chen
The long black hair was like a torrent crashing onto the old man, a slender white arm reached out from the black hair and grabbed the old man’s shoulder, seemingly wanting to drag him into the black hair.
Being grabbed by that hand, the old man’s body trembled, it was obvious that he had suffered from that hand before, “I have already sent you out, why do you have to come back?”
Answering the old man with a merciless violent fall, his body heavily smashed on the blood-red ground, even the red clothes on his body became much darker.
”Zhang Ya is here!”
Listening to the old man’s words just now, it seemed as if he had already sent Zhang Ya out, but Zhang Ya broke through the door and came back again.
”She came back specifically to look for me?” A trace of warmth arose in Chen Ge’s heart, and he was about to open his mouth when he saw Zhang Ya walk out of the black hair, not even looking at him, and walking directly towards the old man.
The quiet world behind the door resounded with brutal tearing sounds, and Chen Ge’s teeth chattered as he listened, “Are all the stern ghosts so vindictive?”
It wasn’t like the old man didn’t have the power to fight in his heyday, but he was first scared out of his wits by the boy’s awakening, and then he was robbed of half of his blood by the boy, and that’s why he was completely crushed when he faced Zhang Ya.
”There should be both strong and weak amongst the Red Clothes, and I’m afraid that this old man belongs to the lowest level of Red Clothes.”
Seeing Zhang Ya, Chen Ge’s heart slowly dropped, in this strange place, Zhang Ya was the only “person” that could bring him a sense of security.
As the situation stabilized, he wanted to put away his sword and change to a comfortable position, but when he looked down, he saw a pair of bizarre eye holes staring at him.
The little boy in his arms had his clothes dyed red at some point, his face was white, and his eyes were pitch black with no whites or pupils.
Cold sweat slid down from his forehead as Chen Ge looked at the wound on the boy’s neck that had been cut open, countless strands of blood were gushing there.
”I did all that just now to wake you up, I was forced to, I never wanted to hurt you from the start.”
The boy hung on to him as if he was going to climb up a little bit.
This feeling of being climbed on by a child was a bit scary, Chen Ge wanted to shake him off, but was afraid of causing him to misunderstand even more deeply.
”Men Nan, I know your name, I’m here to save you. Your sub-persona was attacked by a monster, and I was the one who helped him.” Chen Ge wasn’t inviting credit, if he didn’t say more at this time, he was afraid that if the other party got angry, he would simply not give himself a chance to speak.
Just now, the old man in red had called the boy a devil, to be called a devil by red, it was evident that the boy had left a deep psychological shadow on the old man.
The boy didn’t stop the movement of his hands, he crawled in front of Chen Ge, and his two faces were almost close together.
Only when he got closer did Chen Ge see clearly that the boy’s eyes had no eyes at all, only two} human holes.
Chen Ge didn’t know what the boy was looking at, goosebumps came out on his neck, and his hand quietly reached into his pocket, took out the photo of Men Nan and his mother, and placed it between the two faces.
”I know your past well and understand your pain, if you have no one to talk to, you can tell me those.” Chen Ge said what he said to Men Nan’s sub-persona, and said it again to the main personality, “We share similar experiences, perhaps we can become friends.”
The saying “Brace the bold and starve the timid” couldn’t be more appropriate for Chen Ge, who held onto the one-in-a-million hope of trying to bring the boy close, and even had a hint of fantasy in his heart, hoping to develop him into a haunted house employee in the future.
Seeing the picture of his mother, the boy’s attitude eased, letting go of his hand and jumping to the ground, “Where did you find this picture?”
The boy’s question was one that his sub-personality had also asked, and the two had very similar thought patterns.
”In the closet in the Dean’s office.”
”I can’t believe he still has a picture of my mother.” The boy tilted his head, “Can I have this picture?”
”No problem.” Chen Ge handed the photo to the boy, and he could clearly feel that the boy’s hostility towards him had weakened.
Crouching down, Chen Ge leveled his eyes at the boy, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, “Just now, that old man said that this world is your nightmare, and that as soon as you wake up, the passageway to the outside world will be closed forever?”
”This world originally existed, it has nothing to do with me, I’m just the first person to discover this world.” The boy put the photo away close to his body and looked at Chen Ge with empty eyes, “Don’t ask me anything about this world, the more you know, the harder it will be for you to leave.”
The boy’s intelligence was not proportional to his appearance, and as soon as Chen Ge opened his mouth, he guessed Chen Ge’s true purpose.
”Can’t reveal anything at all?”
”I can only tell you that this world is the deepest darkness of the human mind, reflecting fear and evil thoughts, it is similar to the normal world, yet completely different, like day and night.” With that the boy walked towards the door, his red coat was a bit harsh and blood soaked, it was scary to look at.
”I still have the last two questions, don’t go so fast.” Chen Ge stepped forward, his movements were flexible, his body didn’t have any abnormalities, and those threads of blood that had burrowed into his arms and thighs just now seemed to have disappeared as if they had disappeared.
The boy stopped and turned back, his black eyes sockets surveyed Chen Ge very seriously, “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
”Afraid, but I want to know the answer even more.” The appearance of Mennan’s main personality meant a lot to Chen Ge, “I want to ask you about someone, your sub-personality calls him Dr. Chen.”
”Don’t recognize it.”
”Your sub-personality had told me that the reason why you guys came to the third sick building to help the old dean seal the door was because two people went over and invited you in the first place, one of them was the old dean, and the other one was Dr. Chen.” Chen Ge’s voice was sincere: “This person is very important to me, he is most likely my missing family member.”
I don’t know if it was the word family that touched the boy, he shifted his empty eyes, “This Dr. Chen is plain looking, but has a special pair of eyes that are somewhat similar to yours, both are the type that I extremely hate.”
”No?” Chen Ge was somewhat speechless and asked a second question, “The door that connects the two worlds, what do I have to do to close it completely?”
”It’s simple.” The boy smiled, “Just shut a living person inside the door and have him guard the entrance for you.”
”What kind of method is that?” Chen Ge still wanted to ask about the reason why the door appeared, but the boy ran out in the blink of an eye.
”Is he hiding something important?”
Chen Ge was afraid that the boy and Zhang Ya would fight, so he hurriedly chased after him.
Leaving the room, Chen Ge realized that the boy hadn’t gone far, the boy’s brows were tightly furrowed together and his dark eyes gazed ahead.
The red coat on the old dean lost its color, he was no longer in human form, his missing body was wrapped in Zhang Ya’s black hair and disappeared in a few seconds.
”Give me what’s left of this old man’s body and I’ll let you go.” The boy was short, and he too felt the pressure.
Fingers traced over lips as bright red as blood, Zhang Ya didn’t take the boy’s words to heart at all. She stepped on the half stump of the dean’s body, her eyes staring at the boy with a gaze as if she had seen a new ingredient.
