Chapter 0641 – Black Dog

　　Looking at the writhing blood near the window frame, and the white cloth infested with blood around it, Chen Ge felt that this should just be a one-sided abuse.

　　The boy was able to become the most terrifying existence in Liwan Hospital, and his strength was half red at worst, but he was still unbeatable in front of the red high heeled shoes, and the white cloth and the blood stains on the window frames should have all been left behind by him.

　　”I said how do I feel so cold in the hospital, so it’s because someone got there first.” Chen Ge had a look of regret on his face, and the three people behind him only frowned when he looked at them.

　　”It’s good that they are fighting in their own nest! I didn’t see you sighing when they hit the ghost just now, but now that they’re starting to fight amongst themselves, you, the outsider, are unhappy instead.” The drunkard was completely unable to understand Chen Ge, he didn’t realize that Chen Ge had already seen this place as his own property, at least until Yan Dainian’s comic book was filled up, he wouldn’t let go of those ghosts and monsters.

　　”The ghosts here aren’t bad by nature, but unfortunately they were compelled by the mastermind behind the scenes, I just can’t bear to see them, they deserve a better home.” Chen Ge double-checked once more, making sure that there were no more ghosts in the hospital before leading a few people away.

　　”Where are we going now?” The drunkard, the doctor, and the scissors all followed behind Chen Ge, knowing that there was no good end to being separated, they simply gathered together.

　　”Smiling Man has slaughtered an entire busload of people and ruined the plans of the black hand behind Liwan Town, he should have a very bad relationship with the black hand behind Liwan Town; Red Heels’ strength is not weaker than Smiling Man’s, and since she would strike out at the natives of Liwan Town, she obviously doesn’t get along with the black hand behind that one either. Both of these guys are disobedient pricks in the eastern suburbs, and them acting alone will just help us distract the person behind the curtain.” Chen Ge calmly analyzed the situation, and any worse situation changed flavor when it came to his mouth, as if they were the ones who had the upper hand at this point: “There’s no rush, let’s go to that kennel you just mentioned first, I’d love to see what a dog that can smile looks like.”

　　”You really want to go, huh? I would have known I wouldn’t have told you.” Reluctantly, the drunkard led the way.

　　The “kennel” was close to the hospital, and as they approached the building, several of the passengers had different expressions.

　　The drunkard was apprehensive, the doctor was cautious, the scissors were forcibly calm, and Chen Ge was the only one who moved forward alone with a skull crushing hammer, looking eager to try.

　　”This is it?” Chen Ge pushed open the door of the campus, and before the person entered, the white cat purred, it was very uneasy, as if there was something here that annoyed it.

　　”Is a cat afraid of dogs? It shouldn’t be?” Chen Ge stroked the white cat’s head and simply comforted it.

　　”Big brother, you’d better be careful, that monster is very ferocious, I’ve seen it once, on all fours, like a hunting dog.” The drunkard wanted to say something else, but realizing that Chen Ge had already entered the middle of the courtyard at this point, he decisively closed his mouth, “This dude is also too stiff, right?”

　　Chen Ge had actually been very cautious, only that others couldn’t see it, he had Xu Yin’s protection and the white cat’s warning, there was an absolute guarantee behind every bold attempt.

　　”There’s really a kennel, it’s beautifully made, but ……” Chen Ge put on his backpack and stood at the corner of the yard, looking at the foul smelling kennel: “This size shouldn’t be for a dog, the internal space is already enough to fit a person.”

　　”I also felt strange when I came in just now, the house is full of deodorizers, obviously a place for people to live in is able to be the same as a dog’s, while the place that should be for dogs is made so that living people can live in it as well.” The drunkard was a bit incoherent, his body shuddered uncontrollably at the thought of what had just happened, and his head buzzed as if he would collapse at any moment.

　　For a normal person, it was normal to have such a reaction, and seeing these manifestations of the drunkard, Chen Ge gently nodded his head.

　　He wasn’t agreeing with what the drunkard said, but he was finally sure that the drunkard should be a normal person.

　　Chen Ge had been secretly observing all the passengers in the car, and now there were two people who were able to rule out suspicion and determine that there was no problem – the drunkard and the scissors.

　　”It’s fine, if you’re really scared just stand with them.” Chen Ge walked through the small courtyard, suddenly felt some itchiness on his neck, reached out to scratch it, and realized that there were a few more black dog hairs on his palm, which were hard and a bit solid.

　　”Where did it come from?” Tilting his head back and looking upwards, Chen Ge’s eyes gently narrowed as he saw a man’s face at the second story window of the attic.

　　The man was draped in a dog skin with a weird smile on his face.

　　It was also the first time Chen Ge had seen that kind of smile, it did not look like it could be made by a human being, the way the muscles were firing was completely different from a human being, causing the whole face to look bulging forward, it was very incongruous.

　　Silently looking at the human face on the second floor, Chen Ge’s heart started to beat faster when he first saw it, but after only two or three seconds, he returned to normal.

　　Raising his arm, Chen Ge also smiled at the face, “Stay there and don’t move, I’ll come to you.”

　　There was clearly a person in the attic, but Chen Ge could not feel any aura from him that a living person should have.

　　”Liwan Town is so big, it’s a bit tight for time if I visit every building.” Chen Ge entered the small two-story building, and as the doctor and the others were about to follow him in, he waved his hand, “You guys just stay outside.”

　　”It’s better for everyone to go in together, at this time, don’t try to be brave!” The drunkard knew how powerful the monster was and was a bit uneasy about Chen Ge.

　　”That’s fine, but the space inside the house is narrow, so don’t get too close to me, I’m worried about hurting you.” The drunkard’s unintentional words made Chen Ge feel that he was not a bad person, and was worth paying more attention to in order to bring him out alive together.

　　”Understood, we definitely won’t cause you any trouble.” The drunk glanced at Chen Ge’s skull crushing hammer and sighed in his heart, this guy in front of him was really a reckless man who didn’t want to die.

　　Several passengers all entered the house and walked down the narrow corridor, they were about to head to the second floor when a wind chime suddenly came to their ears and the door of the room that was originally half-open closed by itself.

　　”Oh no!” The drunk and the doctor looked behind them at the same time, their retreat blocked.

　　A few people stopped where they were, and Scissors’ face didn’t look too good as he said grimly, “This is the most classic scene in horror movies, the door of the room closing by itself often signals that a ghost is coming, and it could be all around us.”

　　”I told you not to be so impulsive!” The drunkard panicked a bit, “Should we find a room to hide in first, there are many of us, the ghost shouldn’t be able to strike at all four of us at the same time.”

　　”Makes sense.” The doctor also nodded his head in agreement, and after a few people finished discussing the matter, they all looked at Chen Ge and began to ask for his opinion.

　　”What are you guys talking about? Why are you hiding? Wouldn’t it be fine to open the door again when it’s closed?” Chen Ge gently shook his head, he simply didn’t know what was going on in the heads of the other few passengers.

　　Hearing Chen Ge’s reply, the drunkard still wanted to speak, but Chen Ge didn’t give him that chance as he accelerated to the door of the room and swung his skull crushing hammer to hammer the door open.

　　The sound was so loud that the entire building could hear it clearly.

　　After the door was hammered open, Chen Ge didn’t stop, aiming at the door lock connection and continuously swinging it to remove the entire door.

　　”Now it won’t close anymore.” He kicked the already deformed door to the side and dragged the skull-crushing hammer over to a few people, “Don’t always think about dodging, learn to analyze.”

　　Chen Ge felt that Scissors was a good seedling and decided to cultivate him, “I just saw that man on the second floor, and now the door on the first floor is automatically closing, which means that he’s not the only ghost in the room, and this so-called classic scene from a horror movie actually reveals a lot of information about the ghosts and monsters, learn to utilize them and analyze them to find out what is useful to you. ”

　　Listening to the wind chimes that kept ringing in his ears, as if there were people walking back and forth in the aisle, Chen Ge looked back, “Ghosts and monsters will sometimes tickle the fear in our hearts through many common things in our lives, like that wind chime, and that’s actually a very simple thing for us to do at this time.”

　　Chen Ge walked to the door and removed the wind chime, stuffing it into his backpack.

　　After the wind chime was loaded into the backpack, the strange sound completely disappeared.

　　”It’s that simple.” When Chen Ge said this, the doctor and the drunkard were filled with shock as they both pointed behind Chen Ge.

　　”Brother! There’s something on your back! It came out of that wind chime!”

　　”There’s a ghost! There’s a ghost!”

　　Chen Ge turned his head and saw a face filled with spite and hatred, and interestingly enough, this face looked exactly like the man on the second floor.

　　At this moment, the man’s lower body was in Chen Ge’s backpack, and his upper body was desperately trying to climb out, but countless hands reached out from the backpack behind Chen Ge, tugging him to death, and forcefully yanking him back into the middle of the backpack.

　　The man’s agonized soul disappeared, Chen Ge twisted his head back again and smiled as he said to the other passengers, “That’s just an illusion, that’s the second point that all of us have to tell you, ghosts and monsters usually use some kind of blindfold to make us fall into self-doubt.”

　　Several other passengers were silent, reasonably, they were just scared when the male ghost appeared, but when they saw the male ghost crying and struggling to disappear behind Chen Ge, their scalps went numb and they had a creepy feeling.

　　”If you guys are really scared, stay on the first floor.” Looking at the deodorizers that were everywhere on the floor, Chen Ge didn’t give the other few people time to think and walked towards the second floor alone.

　　The male ghost in the wind chime just now looked exactly like the person on the second floor, Chen Ge guessed that the male ghost was actually the owner of that body, only that due to some unknown reasons, the male ghost’s soul and the dog’s soul were switched, and the one dominating his body now should be a dog.

　　”That’s quite a good weird story.” As the president of the Weird Tales Association, Chen Ge felt obligated to collect all the weird tales.

　　Coming to the second floor, he summoned Xu Yin to follow him, already prepared for a fight, but the happenings in front of him surprised him a bit.

　　That strange man who had just laughed at himself on the second floor was now standing in the middle of the second floor corridor.

　　He was wearing a dog skin and had a weird smile on his face, but the strange thing was that Chen Ge couldn’t feel a trace of hostility from him, as if the man and Chen Ge had known each other before.

　　”Just now outside, he also took the initiative to show his head because he found me?” There must be a demon when things go wrong, Chen Ge had Xu Yin test the man a few times, but the man didn’t resist at all, only a little doubt in his gaze, as if Chen Ge shouldn’t have attacked him.

　　”This guy knew me before? That can’t be possible! This is the first time I’ve met him, could it be that the title of Knightly Demon Favored One is playing a role?” Chen Ge approached the man, and the other party didn’t dodge and was obedient, just like a domesticated pet.

　　”Evil.” Chen Ge was a soft eater, but not a hard eater, and the other party looked like he was letting you bully him but just didn’t fight back, which made Chen Ge feel very strange.

　　He tried using the comic book against the man, but it had no effect, the man possessed the body of a living person, and there was no way for him to be collected into the comic book.

　　In other words, the man was actually alive, only living on with the soul of a dog.

　　Chen Ge tried to communicate with him, but unfortunately it was completely useless.

　　”What the hell does this guy mean?” Chen Ge asked Xu Yin to keep an eye on the man, and he himself entered the room next to him to search.

　　In the room where the man had just stayed, he had a catch.

　　The walls of the room were plastered with photos documenting the story of a man, or rather a dog.

　　The photographs began with a young man abusing all kinds of animals, in all kinds of cruel ways, and they documented his crimes.

　　Until one day, he picked up a black puppy, which was very resilient, and no matter how much it was tortured, it was lucky to survive in the end.

　　The man thought the dog was unusual and kept it in captivity in his house, torturing it as well as torturing other animals.

　　The puppy watched his abuse until the puppy grew up.

　　Once after the man had tortured the black dog, he thought the dog was dead, so he left it unlocked.

　　That night, the dying black dog reared up and burrowed into the house bedroom.

　　Chen Ge took the last few photos, the black dog used all its strength to fight with the man, one person and one dog fell into a pool of blood.

　　In the end, the black dog fell forever, but when the man sat up from the pool of blood, the expression on his face had changed to that of a dog.

　　After looking at the photo, Chen Ge understood why the man had become like this, but he still had one question he hadn’t figured out, why was this guy not hostile to himself at all?

　　After looking at the photo again from the beginning, Chen Ge realized what the problem was.

　　When the little black dog first appeared, on the photo, besides the dog owner and the black dog, there was also a shadow that resembled his own body type.

　　He looked backward at the other photos, and the shadow was present on almost all of them.

　　”The little black dog didn’t die through the ordeal, could it be that the shadow is secretly protecting it? The shadow and I are very similar in appearance, which would make sense why the black dog was not hostile to me, he recognized the wrong person! Thinking of me as that shadow!”

　　Chen Ge had a rough guess: “Is the shadow really me from my childhood? He’s growing in another way?”

　　It could still be a coincidence that outsiders had misidentified him, but now even the aborigines in Liwan Town had misidentified him, which made Chen Ge realize the seriousness of the problem, and that shadow was 100% related to him!

　　”Maybe he really resembles me, but it’s only similar in some ways.” Looking at the photos on the wall, Chen Ge had also rescued abused animals, such as white cats, and in that respect, he and the shadow did have the same things in common.

　　However, the two were completely different in terms of their personalities and how they dealt with problems.

　　After Chen Ge rescued the white cat, he brought it back to the haunted house to adopt it, whereas after Shadow rescued the little black dog, not only did he not adopt it, he also let it continue to be abused until it finally bit its owner to death.

　　Resentment, despair, bitterness, and hostility, Shadow’s character could be seen in the way he helped the little black dog.

　　”This guy is too dangerous.” Chen Ge pasted the photos all the way back to the distance and walked out of the room.

　　The man squatted on the ground and cocked his head to survey Chen Ge, who seemed to realize that something was wrong.

　　”This guy must be kept, the shadow can change its appearance and disguise itself as someone else, perhaps I can use the black dog to find out the shadow’s true form. If possible, I want to have a good talk with that shadow.”

　　Chen Ge crouched in front of the man and stared into the man’s eyes as he used his Yin pupil, trying to see through that soul under the man’s skin.

　　”Come out, you need a new home now.”

　　Chen Ge kept persuading the man, and the man’s facial expression slowly started to change.

　　After a few minutes, a scarred black dog struggled to come out of the man’s body.

　　Using the comic book, Chen Ge included the black dog in it, and the moment he put it away, the black cell phone in his pocket vibrated again.

　　He took out his cell phone and slid the screen, there were five unread messages on it.
