Chapter 0436 – Dr. Gao’s World
Before the group of corpses arrived, Chen Ge closed the blood door.
The moment the door closed, the blood mist attached itself to Chen Ge’s body, forming a thin film of blood.
”The world behind this door doesn’t seem to be quite the same as the third sickbay or the Living Coffin Village.”
Chen Ge reached out and touched the layer of blood film on his skin, he felt like his entire body was wrapped up, it was a little difficult to breathe and very uncomfortable.
”I’ve never encountered a blood mist attached to my body in the Living Coffin Village or the Third Sickness Building.”
He inexplicably felt a little uneasy in his heart, and took out his comic book, realizing that there was also a thin film of blood on the comic book.
Walking to the corner, Chen Ge called out to Yan Dainian and Lao Zhou in a low voice, but he could not get any response.
Chen Ge opened his backpack again and pressed the switch of the repeater, but no matter how he pressed it, the repeater couldn’t work properly, and he couldn’t even hear the rustling electric current sound.
”The blood membrane can isolate the connection between me and the ghosts and monsters?” Chen Ge grasped the skull-crushing hammer, he didn’t act rashly: “I’ve seen the female ghost of the pitcher well manipulate the blood mist of the world behind the door in the Living Coffin Village, and Men Nan’s body in the Third Sickness Building had fused with the blood mist, so this shows that the door pusher is able to manipulate the blood mist.”
Chen Ge pondered in his mind, “I was wrapped in a blood film as soon as I entered the door, is this an arrangement left by Dr. Gao before he left, or is it that he didn’t leave Jiujiang at all, he just used a special ghost to fool the police, and now he’s hiding in the middle of the world behind the door, quietly manipulating the blood mist in the world behind the door?”
Dr. Gao was the last opponent Chen Ge wanted to encounter in every way.
”The longer I stay in the blood mist, the thicker this blood film becomes, it’s a bit tricky.”
Having lost the ghosts and monsters, the only thing Chen Ge could rely on was the skull crushing hammer in his hand and the white cat that had swallowed the blood mist, and the situation was a bit unfavorable for him.
With some panic in his heart, Chen Ge crouched down and twisted his head to look at his shadow, he reached out and touched it, there was no blood film on the shadow.
”She’s still there.”
Chen Ge felt much more solid, he tried to call out Zhang Ya’s name in his heart, he could vaguely hear someone talking, but the two seemed to be far apart, even if he used his Gifted Ghost Ears, he still couldn’t hear it really well.
”What is this place? I’m a little out of breath.”
Li Xu and Ma Wei’s bodies were also covered by a layer of blood film, the weird thing was that both of them seemed to be unable to see that layer of film, they just kept touching their necks as if there was an invisible rope around their necks.
”Don’t panic, no matter what you encounter, stay calm.” After Chen Ge finished speaking, he turned the door handle and opened the bloody door once again.
A minute had passed, and outside the door was an incomparably dystopian and terrifying world.
The road was twisted as if it was a curved intestinal tract, and the walls on both sides bulged outward like the organs of a living creature, the surface of which was a transparent film of blood.
The top of the head seemed to be crisscrossed with blood vessels, in which countless blood filaments were still flowing.
A bloody color, from a distance, it looked as if the world itself was a monstrous being.
”Is this the world in Dr. Gao’s eyes?”
What kind of changes occur in a person’s psyche to be able to visualize the world they live in like this?
”Dr. Gao, what exactly is he thinking about every day?”
The door to the Living Coffin Village was pushed open by the female ghost who threw herself into the well. In her eyes, the villagers were all deformed animals, and the strongest desire in her heart at that time was to escape and never be discovered.
So she pushed open that door behind the world, the blood fog is unusually thick, visibility is only one or two meters away, the image of the villagers are also as she wished, all turned into humanoid monsters.
By the same token, the world behind the door of the third sick building, the patients were like walking corpses, with severed hands symbolizing fear living under the beds, as well as long, skinny ghostly figures symbolizing desire, and so on.
All of these things are Men Nan’s ignorant impressions of the world, and various complex emotions materialize into monsters in the eyes of the child.
The underground corpse vault was the third door Chen Ge had entered, and the world behind this door was also the most terrifying and incomprehensible to Chen Ge.
”The world behind the door doesn’t lie, this is the real heart of Dr. Gao.” Chen Ge glanced back, “The world has turned into flesh and blood and filth, but this room with his wife’s picture hasn’t changed, this should be the last piece of pure land in his heart.”
Gripping the skull crushing hammer tightly, Chen Ge thought for a moment, carefully removing the photo from the wall and placing it into his backpack.
When he unzipped the zipper, Chen Ge was also surprised to find a model human head in his backpack, which he would have forgotten about if he hadn’t put the photo.
The head was shrunk at the bottom of the backpack, as if it was trembling.
Chen Ge reached out and touched it on its face before removing it, “Strange, this thing isn’t even covered by a blood film on it, could it be because it was originally a prop from the underground corpse vault?”
Suddenly touching a human head from the bag, Li Xu and Ma Wei originally had difficulty breathing, seeing this scene was even more nearly fainted, they both bravely approached to see that it was a model before they were slightly relieved.
But what happened next made them both nervous again.
Chen Ge placed the model human head on the double bed, lifted the skull crushing hammer, and stood opposite the head: ”Tell me how to remove this blood film? Tell me everything you know!”
The room suddenly became very quiet, and none of the others besides Chen Ge dared to say anything.
The human head model’s expression seemed to change, and Chen Ge’s ears twitched as he heard a very faint plea for mercy.
”Is it talking?”
The gifted ghost ears worked, and Chen Ge put down the skull crushing hammer, placed the model human head in his own ear, and asked the question he had just asked all over again.
Unable to tell the direction or where it was coming from, Chen Ge just heard a voice with a crying tone coming into his ears.
The voice was very brief, and it took several times of listening before Chen Ge could hear that the other party had only said two words – Recognize.
Putting down the mannequin, Chen Ge pondered over the meaning of these two words: ”It means that in order to break the blood membrane, we outsiders must be recognized by the world behind the door? The president of the Weird Tales Association and I are mortal enemies, it’s too difficult to gain the recognition of the world behind the door.”
Chen Ge put the model human head into his backpack and tried to take the first step towards the door.
When the shoes stepped on the ground, it was just like stepping on meat, very soft, slippery, and somewhat sticky.
This was definitely not a good experience, regular people would probably have nightmares for the rest of their lives if they entered such a passage.
”You two don’t push yourself, but it’s best to follow me.”
Chen Ge took the second step, blood flowed through the thick veins in his head, and the path under his feet would tremble on its own from time to time.
”The terrain is the same as the world outside the door, except that the walls, the ground, and everything that can be seen has turned into flesh and blood.” Chen Ge took a deep breath, placed the white cat on his backpack, and walked into the middle of the passageway with the skull crushing hammer.
