Chapter 0183 – Return
”Calm down!” Chen Ge rushed to the center of the corridor, “They’re all on their own, don’t hurt them by mistake!”
Being sandwiched in the middle by two red-clothed stern ghosts, his back was soaking wet, a scene that even he found bizarre. As the ghosts fought, the living desperately ran out to persuade them to fight.
Both sides were at cross swords, and Chen Ge persuaded the boy and Zhang Ya not to make a move in the first place.
In reality, it was the boy who unilaterally made concessions, and after he awakened, the blood filaments within the third sick building continued to enter his body, and the further he dragged it out, the stronger he would become.
”I can also do without that old guy’s body, but his head must be given to me.” There was a special connection between the boy and the third sickbay, if the third sickbay was compared to a sleeping monster, then he was the child that seemed to have been born to the monster, and was in control of a lot of things in this place.
Thin threads of blood surfaced on the floor and the siding, wrapping around the old man’s head.
The old man, who was originally paralyzed on the ground with no reaction to the outside world, suddenly opened his eyes wide and struggled. Unfortunately, his body was stepped on by Zhang Ya, and he was unable to move even if he wanted to.
Blood threads strangled into the old man’s neck and wrapped him up, the next image was a bit brutal, and the hallway of the building resounded with the old man’s miserable screams.
The blood filaments coming from all directions held up the old man’s head and brought it to the boy.
”What has this old man done wrong before?” A pitiful person must be hateful, and Chen Ge had long since passed the age of sympathy.
”When the door first opened, the old man had experimented with patients.” The boy’s dark eyes looked to the head in his hands, “He forced the patients to enter the door, including my mother.”
The boy smiled sweetly as he cradled the old man’s head, “He was a very hypocritical and selfish man, and my falling into a deep sleep was a trick that he and a few patients pulled.”
”Him and a few patients? There are other people inside the door?” Chen Ge moved two steps towards Zhang Ya’s side, in comparison, it was a bit safer to be close to Zhang Ya.
”After I promised Dr. Chen to enter the door, I have been guarding it until four years ago when the door was opened from the outside.” The boy recounted what happened inside the door four years ago, “The old man was suffering from cancer and knew that he wouldn’t live long, he wanted to enter the world behind the door in order to extend his life.”
”He was very timid, so he sent a few patients through the door first, just like he did years ago.”
”Ward 3 is a closed ward, and those few patients didn’t have much of a background, so the whole process was very secretive.”
”It took a week of trial and error to make sure there was no danger before Dean went behind the doors with those few patients.” The smile remained on the boy’s face as he held the old man’s crying head, “When the door closed, it became my world, and there was nothing inside the entire third patient building that could threaten me.”
”I didn’t mean to hurt them, I just wanted to have some fun with my quiet life. But what I didn’t expect was that these people had let in the monsters outside of the third sickbay in order to leave, and some of them even had their bodies infested by the monsters.”
”All of this was unexpected, and by the time I realized it, it was already too late. They set up a scheme to imprison me in the electrotherapy room, letting the dean, who had little life left, stay behind to guard it, while a few others escaped carrying fear and evil thoughts.”
After listening to the boy’s words, Chen Ge gently nodded, “I’ve seen a few patients from the third ward in the world outside the door, and they were occupied by a kind of long, skinny monster, and the old man said that that thing was the embodiment of human desire.”
”That’s right, those are the monsters of the world inside the gate, but they are only the lowest level.” The boy’s words shocked Chen Ge, the long thin monsters actually belonged to the lowest level, originally he thought that the mirror ghosts were the lowest level.
”A total of seven patients entered the gate four years ago, four of them were infested by the lowest level monsters, and I can’t see through the remaining three.” The boy glanced at Chen Ge, “You were able to enter behind the door, so you obviously had a conflict with them, and the remaining few will most likely go after you.”
”Do you remember what the three most dangerous guys looked like?”
”A very beautiful woman, a disfigured man, and one called Wu Fei.” The boy’s teeth clenched together at the mention of Wu Fei: “The one who set up a trap to undermine me is this Wu Fei.”
Seemingly afraid that Chen Ge was careless, the boy added, “Wu Fei isn’t the hardest to deal with in there, the one you need to be most careful of is that disfigured face, he’s very dangerous.”
”I know, thanks for the reminder.”
”There’s no need to thank me, in fact, there’s one more thing I want to trouble you with.” The boy observed Chen Ge for a long time and finally stated his true purpose: “I’m just a personality idea, using the third sick building behind the door as my body. Because I have stayed here for too long, in a sense, the Third Sickness Building and I have become one. Outsiders can’t really kill me, they can only make me weak and fall into a deep sleep.”
”They can’t kill me, but they can have an effect on me through my sub-personality, and may even manipulate me indirectly, which is what I’m most worried about. That’s why I want you to protect my sub-personality when necessary. I don’t have any family in this world, and my only friend is him.”
”No problem, I’m also friends with your sub-personality, and I definitely won’t see death.” Chen Ge tried to find ways to get on good terms with the boy, and in his heart, he was calculating to trick him into becoming an employee at the House of Horrors one day, his haunted house didn’t have any ghosts or monsters of this age group yet.
”Let’s hope you can keep your word.” The boy carried the old man’s head to the third ward on the first floor: “After staying in this world for a long time, the body and mind will be severely affected and filled with self-destructive emotions. If you don’t vent out these negative emotions in time, slowly you will become a madman as well.”
He pushed open the door of ward three and placed the old man’s head next to the hospital bed, “I’ll send you away, if you encounter something you can’t solve, you can wait for me on the other side of the door at midnight zero, I’ll open the door for a minute’s time.”
”One minute’s time?” Chen Ge’s eyelids jumped.
”The limit of my manipulation is one minute.” The boy opened his mouth and said, “This world is very large, there should be other doors, some of them may also be guarded by people like me, and some of them are probably in an unattended state. Normally, if there is someone behind the door who is controlling it, then it is a minute each time the door is opened.”
”Good.” Chen Ge lowered his head and thought about the door in the bathroom of his haunted house.
When Chen Ge and Zhang Ya both walked into ward three, the boy closed the door to the room and he stood by the door, “You guys can go back.”
”How do I go back?”
The boy pointed at the door to ward three, “Push it open, you guys only have a minute.”
