Chapter 0613 – Door stuck in the body
”Where are you looking?” The thick stepping foot carved with a human face jabbed at Chen Ge and stopped in front of his eyeballs, the boy seemed to hate being looked at like this.
”Sorry, I lost my temper a bit.” Chen Ge withdrew his own gaze and stopped staring at the place where the boy’s stomach and the spider’s carapace connected.
If the “door” of the White Dragon Cave tunnel was really in the child, the other party would definitely not tell Chen Ge, and if it was no longer, there was no point in continuing to dwell on it, so Chen Ge ended the topic decisively, “If you’re not willing to talk about it, then it’s fine to change it.”
Chen Ge became solemn: “This is my last question, it concerns the safety of all of us, so I hope you won’t hide anything on this issue.”
”You ask.” The boy withdrew his horribly hideous forefoot.
”In the latter part of the night in the last few days, did you see a shadow enter the White Dragon Cave tunnel?”
At the mention of the word shadow, the boy’s expression immediately changed, “You came because of him?”
”Looks like you know something.” Chen Ge was a little excited, he had finally found someone who knew more about the shadow.
The temperature in the tunnel plummeted, the howling cold wind gushed out from deeper into the tunnel, neither the child nor the tunnel ghostess spoke.
They were silent for a long time, and finally the kid jumped down from the wall, a few stepping feet supporting his body and allowing him to look down on Chen Ge from a height.
The monster was very large, and at this moment, this standing position of it brought Chen Ge a strong sense of oppression.
”Go back, the more you know, the deeper you will fall into fear.” The boy’s voice trembled softly as he said this.
”Are you in fear?”
”No!” The child’s emotions suddenly became agitated, and his step foot raised to sweep at Chen Ge’s chest.
With his hands protecting his chest, countless human faces whistled out above that stepping foot, but stopped at the last moment.
”We share a common enemy, I can help you in any way I can.” Chen Ge looked at the footsteps that were close at hand and slowly lowered his own arm, if the boy had wanted to hurt him, he would have been sent flying just now.
After a long time, the boy’s body slowly lowered, he looked at Chen Ge flatly, “That guy is crazy, it’s not the first time he’s come to the White Dragon Cave Tunnel.”
”He’s been here before? Was it a few years ago?” Chen Ge recalled the eerie scene he saw the last time he was in the White Dragon Cave Tunnel, where his young self was killed.
”Do you know why my mother and I have been hiding in the tunnels, not taking half a step out of this place?” Unease flickered in the boy’s eyes.
”Is it because of Shadow? He wants to hurt you guys?”
”Who knows? That guy comes over once a year, stronger than ever, and I can only stop him with the help of my own abilities.” The boy didn’t feel any threat from Chen Ge, he just vaguely felt that the shadow of the man in front of him made him uncomfortable, “I hate shadows.”
”I’ve seen Shadow a few times lately as well, and after only a week, he’s gotten stronger again, I really don’t know how he did it.”
Perhaps it was the information Chen Ge revealed that made the boy a little uneasy, the boy, after making eye contact with his own mother, rushed to Chen Ge and said, “I can tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me one thing.”
”No problem.” Chen Ge didn’t even ask what it was and agreed in one bite, his quickness making the boy a little uncomfortable.
”I want you to tie this spider silk around your own neck.” The stepping feet underneath the boy’s body stretched out in all directions, cracking a thin slit where the spider’s body connected to the boy’s.
The thick, pungent odor of blood wafted from it, blood dripped down his body, and the boy’s expression became grim and frightening as the crack widened.
He stuck his hand into the crack, looking as if a man had stuck his hand into his stomach.
”Tell me your choice.” The boy’s hand slowly reached out and removed several blood-red spider threads from the crack, they stuck and glued to each other and slowly turned into a thin red rope as the child pulled on it.
Looking at the sound that was still dripping blood, Chen Ge didn’t have a trace of fear in his eyes, and his answer was still only three words, “No problem.”
Stepping forward and walking in front of the boy, Chen Ge’s movements were crisp and clean, without the slightest bit of procrastination.
The fact that he was so decisive, in turn, made the boy suspicious, and seriously sized up Chen Ge, feeling that this seemingly kind person in front of him might be a devil full of self-destructive desires deep inside.
Moving closer to the boy, Chen Ge finally had the chance to see the cracks on the boy’s body up close.
Fresh blood, blood-like spider threads, and a suffocating smell of blood, all of these characteristics matched the “Blood Gate”.
Receiving the spider silk with both hands, Chen Ge slightly smiled towards the boy, and inwardly he frantically shouted Zhang Ya’s name, wanting Zhang Ya to see if the spider silk would pose a danger to his life, but unfortunately, Zhang Ya didn’t give him any response.
The spider silk slowly approached his neck, Chen Ge no longer hesitated, just as he was about to strangle the spider silk onto his neck, the tunnel girl ghost next to him stood out and reached out to push the spider silk aside.
Perhaps it was because Chen Ge had left a good impression on the Tunnel Lady Ghost the last time he came in, so the Tunnel Lady Ghost stepped in to help him this time.
”Are you really not scared at all?” A hint of doubt appeared in the boy’s spite-filled eyes as he turned around, “Come with me, I know a lot about shadows, maybe we can work together for once.”
Chen Ge did not understand why the boy changed his mind at first, he followed the boy as he continued to walk forward, something on top of his head seemed to brush against his hair, when he looked up, Chen Ge’s eyelids fluttered gently.
In the center of the tunnel, at the top of the dark tunnel, there were “corpses” hanging all over the place.
Their necks were all wrapped in spider silk, as if they were hanging, and their feet were hanging down.
”If you are entangled in the spider’s silk, you will only have one way to die. I don’t know why my mother stood in the way, but she respected her choice.” The boy’s heart was twisted with anger and hatred, the only thing he cared about in this world was his mother.
The boy climbed up the wall, this “forest of corpses” was where he usually rested, “I saw Shadow a long time ago, when he wasn’t so strong, just a kid a little older than me.”
”I don’t know where he came from or how he appeared, all I know is that he’s been searching for all kinds of children, as if he’s going to feed them to something called the Underworld Fetus.”
”He told me that he needed to build a door in Liwan Town, I didn’t understand what a door meant at first, but then I realized that the door he was talking about was this thing.” The boy shifted his body and blood flowed out, a gaping hole opened up between his upper body and the giant spider’s torso, a large dent could be clearly seen, “I have a warped door that is stuck inside me, I pushed it open a little bit when I was first scorched by the fire.”
