Chapter 0670 – You, who the hell are you!
”You two stand here and don’t move, in case someone falls down later, remember to catch them.”
Chen Ge placed the bag containing the white cat on the ground, and he rushed towards the seventh floor with the skull crushing hammer.
”Be careful!”
No matter how much the drunkard shouted, Chen Ge didn’t stop.
Saving the man was just in passing, Chen Ge wasn’t prepared to let Shadow go from the moment he entered Liwan Town.
A guy whose background was so mysterious and inextricably linked to his own, he could only have peace of mind if he caught the other party.
”From Shadow’s mouth, I can definitely ask a lot of information related to my parents.”
When he entered Liwan Town, Chen Ge had already anticipated this moment, only that he had previously wanted to let High Heels and Smiling Man go and scout the way for him, but as a result, who knew that Dr. Gao, an accident, suddenly appeared and made everything uncontrollable.
”Overall, the situation is still very favorable to me.”
Outside the building, Dr. Gao was lured away by Xu Yin, which gave Chen Ge a rare opportunity.
”That monster upstairs is waiting for you, don’t go up there!” The one who spoke this time was Scissors, he wasn’t in a very good state, a shallow blood spot surfaced on his body surface, it was as if all the capillaries on the surface of his skin had burst open.
”He’s waiting for me, and I’m looking for him!” Chen Ge dragged the skull-crushing hammer with him as his speed became faster instead, and behind him, the white cat also burrowed out of the bag and followed him with extremely agile movements.
Those kids on the seventh floor were clearly using the scissors to seduce Chen Ge, they controlled their movements and immediately let go and fled after Chen Ge got close.
”Give me your hands!” Chen Ge dragged Scissors and the drunkard to a safe place, the two of them were not bound by ropes, but looking at them now it was like they were severely allergic to something, the pain was unbearable and it was hard to even stand up.
”Can you walk on your own?” Chen Ge then helped the doctor to the side as well, the poison that the doctor had been hit by had not been undone yet.
”Don’t worry about us, Shadow didn’t kill us because he wanted to use us to drag you down, that guy will do anything to achieve his goal.” The doctor said breathlessly.
”To be able to speak complete words, it seems that your body has improved.” Chen Ge was about to ask the doctor what they had encountered in Fan Cong’s neighborhood when his neck suddenly felt a trace of coolness.
Looking back, the tattooed man’s head poked out from the eighth floor, his face was covered in blood, his eyes were rounded, and the tattoo of a human head on his arm was completely torn off.
A few numb-looking children surrounded the tattooed man, they were holding paintbrushes in their hands, and they were dabbing the tattooed man’s blood and drawing next to him.
”Dead?”
They are much more frightening and numb than the kids at the bottom, and their attitude towards the “toy” is much more frightening.
”The tattooed man is dead, if it is said that the higher you go, the worse the end will be, then is it possible that Men Nan and Old Zhou will have already had an accident as well?”
Chen Ge was a little worried, for the first time, he realized that these ghosts and monsters that accompanied him turned out to be so important to him, and he had already treated them as family and companions.
The body of the tattooed man was pushed down by a few children and fell from Chen Ge’s eyes, a life ended just like that, this was the world behind the door.
In this world woven by despair and nightmares, life and hope were the most fragile things.
Watching the tattooed man’s body fall, a few children dispersed in all directions as if they had accomplished their mission, leaving behind in the building only the painting they had just drawn with the tattooed man’s blood.
As these few children left, the sound of children laughing and joking came from the tenth floor, the children there had no more numbness on their faces, they were happy, but what they did made Chen Ge clench his teeth.
The cell phone ghost boy was grabbed by a few kids, his body was torn and deformed, his cell phone was snatched away, and the messages his mother had sent him were deleted.
Those children could no longer be counted as children under Shadow’s captivity, they hated beauty and felt that affection and love were the most disgusting things in the world, Chen Ge even felt that Shadow was trying to raise all of these children to be monsters just like him.
Every employee of the House of Horrors has their own story, and the one that touches Chen Ge the most is Tong Tong. Taking care of this child is not just about scheming for Tong Tong’s special ability, but also about his mother’s promise.
Tong Tong does not cry or make trouble, he has long been accustomed to these, whether it is in the living time, or in the hands of strange talk association Han Baoer.
But the more he was like this, the more it made Chen Ge look at his heart.
Those children knew that Tong Tong had attracted Chen Ge’s attention, and they grabbed Tong Tong and fled towards higher ground, obviously wanting to lure Chen Ge to the roof of the building.
”Chen Ge! Don’t go over there!” Li Zheng forcefully dragged Jia Ming and ran up, “There are people here who are seriously injured, let’s evacuate with them first. I informed the rest of the group when I entered Liwan Town, reinforcements should arrive soon.”
”There won’t be any reinforcements, you and Jia Ming take them downstairs first and remember to stay away from here.” Chen Ge frowned lightly and communicated with the comic book, opening a certain page before quickly returning to normal again, the whole process only taking a fraction of a second.
”Aren’t you leaving together? What are you going to do?” Li Zheng tried his best to stop Chen Ge.
”I’m not good at educating children, so I can only treat those bullies as adults, it would be much better if they were adults.” Chen Ge lifted the skull crushing hammer and whispered a certain name silently.
In the middle of the narrow hallway, a heavy smell of blood wafted out, and a pair of deformed and twisted arms appeared from Chen Ge’s side, gently resting on his shoulders.
”Catch them, bring them back, and educate them slowly.”
The head hanging diagonally on his shoulders slowly lifted up, and his body, which was completely deformed due to the car accident crushing it, had returned to normal when the head lifted up.
The red-clothed female ghost that Chen Ge had brought out from the White Dragon Cave tunnel was awakened, and she seemed to be curious about the world outside the tunnel, and this wafting mist of blood stimulated her body, giving her the urge to kill everything in front of her.
Xu Yin lured Dr. Gao away, Bai Qiulin’s strength was too poor to cope with an unexpected situation, Chen Ge used one of his bottom cards – the female ghost of the tunnel – in order to ensure his safety.
With Red Riding Hood in front of him, he can be reckless.
Regardless of the time and place, Redcoat was an extremely terrifying presence.
When the children in the building saw Redcoat appear, they all began to instinctively dodge.
Those few bad kids who had grabbed Tong Tong also put away their smiles, more like they were accomplishing a mission to lure Chen Ge to the roof of the building.
”The roof of the building is dangerous! Don’t go over there!” Li Zheng anxiously shouted from behind, he seemed to have learned some information from Jia Ming.
In the heat of the moment, he couldn’t care about rescuing the scissors and the drunkard on the ground and chased after Chen Ge.
As the red clothes opened the way, Chen Ge finally didn’t have to use all of his mind on defense against possible dangers in the surrounding area, and he calmed down and thought about a few very important questions.
”In the painting that Pen Fairy and Yan Dainian combined their efforts to show me, Old Zhou and Men Nan were hiding in the middle of some small house, they weren’t captured, they were just temporarily trapped. In other words, the Shadow is not in full control of the situation, he has just been fighting with Dr. Gao, and only just now disappeared from my eyes and hid in the Underworld Building. What kind of terrifying trap could he have set up in this short period of time?”
”Shadow has fought with Zhang Ya and knows that I have the Top Red Clothes on me, so the only way for him to take me out 100% is to set up a trap that can be a threat to the Top Red Clothes, and such a trap isn’t that easy to set up.”
Chen Ge was very clear about all this in his heart, and his eyes narrowed as a small incident that had just happened flashed through his mind.
”I know!”
Without slowing down his speed in the slightest, Chen Ge rushed towards the upper floors without stopping.
The further upstairs they went, the heavier the resentment in those children’s hearts became, changing from obsessive to violent ghosts; eleven floors and beyond, some of the children’s outer garments began to show patches of blood, and Chen Ge even saw a little boy half-dressed in red.
Without the help of the tunnel girl ghost, just with him and Bai Qiulin, they might only be able to walk to the eleventh floor.
But even with the Tunnel Girl Ghost, it wasn’t too easy for them to walk.
Dense drawings began to appear on the walls, using a special black liquid, this kind of pigment Chen Ge had seen at the restaurant owner’s place, it could have an effect on the red clothes, and Chen Ge had regretted why he had used such a valuable thing to provoke the headless female ghost in the first place.
At a glance, all those paintings on the walls were painted with this black liquid, and walking in them made people very uncomfortable.
”All the patterns are scribbled, like a bored child sketching them out casually, could it be that these paintings came from the hands of the Underworld Fetus?”
The tunneling female ghost walking in front of her took most of the pressure, she wasn’t in very good shape.
”Even the red clothes can be suppressed, these liquids are related to the existence since above the red clothes?” Chen Ge looked at the patterns, most of them were just recording the trivialities of life, but they made Chen Ge’s scalp numb and his body covered in goosebumps, and he didn’t know why he was afraid of these things, “Could the paintings on the walls be something I’ve experienced before? But why don’t I have any impression at all? No, these should be the memories of the Underworld Fetus, they have nothing to do with me.”
”Chen Ge! What are you gawking at! Come downstairs with me right now!” Li Zheng and Jia Ming followed behind, ordinary people in turn weren’t so sensitive to those paintings, they couldn’t feel the deep fear and malice in them.
”The employee is still in their hands, how can I, as the boss, abandon him and run away alone?”
Against the pressure, the tunneling female ghost and Chen Ge arrived at the highest floor of the residential building, but Tong Tong was nowhere to be seen, and Chen Ge could only see the door of the room through the roof half-open.
”The shadow took great pains to lure me here?” The door that led to the rooftop was all covered in black paintings, but the paintings were different from those on the walls, there were no trivialities of life, but rather death scenes over and over again, so brutal that they couldn’t bear to look at them.
The child in the paintings has experienced all kinds of death, he is still just alone, he does not know the meaning of his existence, it seems that living is to wait for the next more painful death.
Standing in the distance, those black paintings ended up forming the outline of a person, and this person’s outline was exactly the same as Chen Ge.
The color of the paintings below the human silhouette was on the lighter side, and the further out it went, the deeper it got, giving Chen Ge the feeling that it was as if every few years he grew up, the monster would return and fill the growing body with paintings.
This humanoid silhouette should have started out as just a child, and eventually grew up slowly, just like Chen Ge.
Only what accompanied Chen Ge’s growth was sunshine and hope, while what followed the man on the door was a variety of more exaggerated and frightening deaths.
”Tong Tong is behind the door.” Chen Ge looked at the door that led to the rooftop, his spirit was in a bit of a trance, and the various methods of death drilled into his head as if they were trying to forcefully turn into his own memories.
”I haven’t experienced any of this! This is not my memory!” Chen Ge raised the skull crushing hammer and was ready to smash it towards the door in front of him, as if by smashing that door, those painful memories that didn’t belong to him would dissipate.
His expression twisted, and when the skull crushing hammer was about to fall, a sudden stabbing pain was felt in his heart, as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
The intense pain brought Chen Ge to his senses, and it was in this short moment that his back was already soaked.
Reaching into his pocket, Chen Ge felt two halves of the same style key from his personal pocket.
”Homemade power key?”
There was much less rust on the key, and Chen Ge still hadn’t fumbled with the real use of the Self-Made Power Key, but it seemed to be the thing that had brought him to his senses just now.
”When his memories merge with mine, then the consequences will really be unimaginable.” Chen Ge put down the skull-crushing hammer and looked at the half-open door of the room as if he had gone crazy, muttering to himself, “You, who the hell are you? Why do you hate me so much?”
”This place should not be stayed for long, let’s leave here first!” Li Zheng looked around vigilantly, his hand touched the police sidearm, and he was just about to pull it out when he saw Chen Ge slowly turn around, and then his eyes stared at him in death.
”You, who the hell are you?” Holding the skull crushing hammer, Chen Ge’s eyes were red.
”Me? Chen Ge! What’s wrong with you?” Li Zheng’s hand pressed down on the dispenser as he tried to pull it out, but he quickly realized that Chen Ge had already made preparations, and as soon as he touched the dispenser, Chen Ge was expected to do so immediately.
”You are not Li Zheng.” Chen Ge’s voice was hoarse: “You just said that you notified the rest of the group when you entered Liwan Town, at that time, you were acting alone to hunt down Jia Ming, when we first met at the restaurant, I didn’t see a walkie-talkie on you, in addition to the fact that the range of the walkie-talkie is restricted, so the probability is that you used a cell phone to notify the rest of the group.”
”Using a cell phone what’s wrong with that?”
”I received a message from you before I entered Liwan Town, your voice and tone of voice were exactly the same as Team Lee’s, but it just so happened that I didn’t answer your call at the time because of the situation, allowing you to send me a message. Your handwritten message was different from Team Li’s style, and from that time I was suspecting that Team Li might have been replaced by Shadow.” Chen Ge’s eyes were filled with blood, but his voice slowly calmed down, “When Dr. Gao and Shadow fought against each other, it also happened to be the time when you guys disappeared. Now that the battle between Shadow and Dr. Gao is over, it also happens to be when you guys showed up, so that means that Shadow is definitely among the few of you who are missing.”
Li Zheng wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Chen Ge.
”You were worried about being exposed, so you used your bottom card ahead of time and asked those curses to help you take away all the people who stayed outside so that you could still continue to hide your identity.” Chen Ge took a step forward as Tunnel Red Clothes shielded him, “I was just skeptical at first, and it wasn’t until just now that I was truly certain that you were the Shadow.”
He opened the comic book and released a sickly little black dog.
The dog was happy to see Chen Ge, then suddenly became suspicious when it saw Li Zheng.
”You are the most special being to it, you can fool us, but you can’t fool the ‘person’ who thinks of you as its entire world.” Chen Ge looked towards the small black dog that was brought out from the “kennel”.
Seeing that black dog, Li Zheng’s hand that was pressing on the gun slowly loosened, and the anxiety and anger on his face slowly dissipated, replaced by a calmness that seemed like a deep pool.
”Ridiculous, I’ve done such a good thing in my life that I’ve become the key to your breakthrough.” Li Zheng lightly glanced at the black dog, his icy cold eyes scared the dog into curling up on the ground, “I should have killed it, at first I just thought it would be fun to play with it that way.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Zheng’s eyes closed and his body collapsed to the ground, but his shadow stood behind him, maintaining the same position as earlier.
