Chapter 0811 – Zhang Torch’s Memory

　　”On the second day of freshman reporting, I was chased by a teacher and escaped over a wall, this is completely different from the college life I imagined!” Zhou Tu slapped the dirt on his body and untied the rope tied around his waist.

　　”There might be more things you can’t imagine coming up later.” Chen Ge forcefully tugged on the rope he had tied to the wall a few times to hide it behind the creepers, so that even if someone walked by, they wouldn’t be able to find it without looking closely.

　　”This rope is my back road.” Chen Ge was alone when he left from the East Campus, and when he came back again, he had become the head of a club.

　　”Teacher, did you find anything not quite right.” Zhang Torch stood up straight, his eyes hidden in his scars slowly widening.

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”Maybe it’s because I’m more sensitive, it feels like the air on this side of the wall is rather sticky and wet, and there’s an odor when I smell it, as if I’ve been drenched in blood.” Zhang Torch used the calmest of tones and said the oddest of words.

　　He slowly opened his mouth and licked the scar on his upper lip with the tip of his tongue, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt, “Compared to the West Campus, this place gives me a more familiar feeling.”

　　”Are you joking? Could it be that you are familiar with the scent of blood?” Zhou Tu originally only thought that Zhang Torch was ugly, but he was quite normal in person, and after hearing his words just now, Zhou Tu had a new understanding of Zhang Torch.

　　”I’m not joking, it’s true.” Zhang Torch looked towards Chen Ge, who stood still with a smile on his face.

　　”You didn’t feel wrong, this is the fertile ground for cultivating beautiful dreams, and in the world behind the door, only by using corpses and blood as fertilizer can amazing flowers bloom.”

　　Chen Ge carried Wang Yicheng on his back and signaled Zhang Torch to follow him, “I’ll take you to a place first, be careful, don’t make too much noise.”

　　Traveling through the untended bushes, the night color became their best camouflage.

　　With no danger along the way, Chen Ge led Zhang Torch to the place where the female ghost in the tree hole was.

　　”Does this place look familiar to you guys?” Chen Ge pointed to the tree hole where the female ghost’s head was hidden, as well as the surrounding trees.

　　”It seems like we’ve been here before……. Right, isn’t this the murder scene where the girl was killed? We’ve seen it in the West Campus! How come there’s an identical scene in the East Campus as well?” Zhou Tu’s eyes widened, these two scenes were exactly the same even the location of the tree hole and the angle of the opening.

　　”The murder scene in the West Campus is just an empty shell, the corpses and the souls of the deceased are hidden in the East Campus, what you guys are seeing now is the real murder scene.” While Chen Ge was saying these words, Zhang Torch seemed to be attracted to something as he stood alone next to the tree hole, his shoulders gently trembling.

　　”Zhang Torch?”

　　He seemed to be unable to hear Chen Ge’s voice as he slowly crouched his body down and knelt next to the tree hole, his hands trembling as he reached into the middle of the tree hole.

　　”Hey! What are you smoking? I remember that the girl’s head was found in the tree hole! What are you doing sticking your hands in there?”

　　Zhou Tu wanted to yank Zhang Torch, but was blocked by Chen Ge, “Don’t disturb him, that tree hole hides his memories, and the lost things have to be dug out personally.”

　　”Dig it out? You guys are really crazy!” Zhou Tu didn’t have the strength of Chen Ge, he couldn’t break free at all, he could only stand on the side and watch dryly.

　　Kneeling on both legs, Zhang Torch lay on his back next to the tree hole, his eyes staring straight at the pitch-black tree hole, his arm missing into the hole a little bit.

　　His body was trembling all the time, sweat sticking to the scars on his face as if slipping tear drops.

　　”No? Why no? Why not! Impossible!” Zhang Torch didn’t touch anything, and his voice broke as if he was so nervous that he couldn’t breathe, “I saw it with my own eyes! I saw him hide that thing in the tree hole with my own eyes! How could it not be there!”

　　His fingers scratched the dirt and tree trunk so hard that his nails began to ooze blood, but Zhang Torch couldn’t feel the pain, his expression was hideous as he dug frantically at the bottom of the tree hole.

　　”Zhang Torch, are you looking for this thing?” Chen Ge took out a rusty kitchen knife from his backpack, this kitchen knife was the host object of the female ghost in the tree hole, the black shadow found it in the depths of the tree hole after swallowing the female ghost (see Chapter 787 for details), at first Chen Ge wanted to take the kitchen knife for defense and didn’t think about it too much.

　　The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and everyone’s eyes were focused on the kitchen knife.

　　”I found this kitchen knife in a tree hole, and the deceased’s already insane soul is resting on this kitchen knife.” Chen Ge placed the kitchen knife in front of Zhang Torch, “Pick it up, can you remember your past?”

　　Zhang Torch was on the verge of collapsing, his arm trembling more and more, and his pupils danced violently.

　　”Isn’t it familiar? Have you seen this knife somewhere else? In whose hand was this knife held at that time, and whose neck did this knife cut into in the end?” Chen Ge’s words seemed to pierce into Zhang Torch’s mind like spikes, and he reached for the kitchen knife with a trembling hand, and when his fingertips touched the handle, his face suddenly changed drastically, his pupils narrowed, and his mouth grew as if he had touched a red-hot branding iron.

　　Before Zhang Torch shouted out, Chen Ge had already taken a step ahead and covered Zhang Torch’s mouth, “It’s okay, those things are already in the past, it’s just your past.”

　　While comforting Zhang Torch with his mouth, Chen Ge’s eyes were tightly fixed on Zhang Torch’s hand holding the knife, once the other party made a swinging movement, he would immediately press him down.

　　Zhang Torch’s strength was much greater than Chen Ge had imagined, and with his memory loosening, his strength was still growing, this kid should not be an ordinary stern spirit.

　　Just when Chen Ge was about to lose control of Zhang Torch, the other party finally calmed down.

　　Chen Ge loosened his grip, and Zhang Torch directly fell to his knees, his lips pressed against the dirt on the ground, and the scars on his face looked blinding.

　　”I, I remembered something.” Zhang Torch stared at his chipped nails, “That day was senior’s birthday, a girl wanted to confess to senior, but senior had his own girlfriend, so he asked me to reject the other person in his place. I arrived at the agreed place and didn’t see the girl, so I waited, then I vaguely heard a movement in the woods, I quietly ran over, only to see someone holding this knife ……”

　　”The girl was still struggling, but I didn’t dare go out. I was stunned, I had never seen so much blood before.” Fingernails digging into the dirt, the scars on Zhang Torch’s face squeezed together, “If I had stepped forward at that time, maybe the girl wouldn’t have died.”

　　Self-blame and guilt tormented Zhang Torch at all times, and he gripped the kitchen knife tightly, “By the time I went back to call the police, those people had already fled, and I don’t know if they were caught, but I saw that one of the figures looked very familiar.”

　　”The next night, we drank a lot of wine and then went to sing, then there was a fire, I was sent to the hospital, and then what happened after that ……” Zhang Torch pounded his head violently, “and then what was sent after that What? Why do I have no memory of the back?”

　　”Burned and sent to the hospital in a coma, your memories are stuck here.” Chen Ge already knew Zhang Torch’s past.
