Chapter 0813 – Do You Dare?
The black shadow’s body type was very similar to Chang Lone, but his movements were agile, and he didn’t look like a person who was almost blind at all.
Chen Ge also didn’t dare to venture out, he wanted to continue observing for a while, but the other party ran directly towards the other side of the corridor, seemingly looking for something.
”Is that Chang Ku? His eyes are back to normal?”
The school building was pitch black, and even though Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils, he still walked carefully.
”Teacher, is that your acquaintance? Should we follow them?”
”It’s better to do more than less, let’s go to the top floor first.” Chen Ge kept his gaze on the black shadow, the other party did not leave, but entered another classroom.
There were other people in the school building late at night, the variables increased, and Chen Ge didn’t know if it was good or bad.
Several people came to the fourth floor, the restrooms were on the other side of the corridor, and they needed to cross the long corridor to get there.
”No matter what you hear, don’t answer, and no matter what you see, don’t break away from the group, understand?” Chen Ge instructed the club members for a few moments before carrying Wang Yicheng into the corridor.
He lowered his body and scanned the classrooms on both sides with the corner of his eyes.
It was pitch black inside the windows, so nothing could be seen.
The club members followed behind Chen Ge, and they tried to control themselves not to look to the sides, but the more they told themselves in their hearts not to just look, the more their eyes uncontrollably glanced elsewhere.
”What’s that?”
The classroom here didn’t seem to have been cleaned for a long time, and when Zhou Tu was passing by a window, he saw a strand of what looked like hair underneath the window frame, giving the impression as if there was a girl lying on her back in the classroom against the window.
”It can’t really be a person, right?” Zhou Tu stood on his tiptoes as he maintained his posture of walking forward, slightly tilting his head to look below the classroom window sill.
”The hair …… is moving?”
Not waiting for Zhou Tu to see clearly, his body suddenly bumped into something, caught off guard, he didn’t hold the chopper in his hand steadily, and the rusty chopper fell to the ground.
The rusty chopper and the floor tiles collided with a soft sound, in the late night school building, this sound sounded unusually harsh.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, and Chen Ge also looked at Zhou Tu, “What are you doing?”
”I accidentally bumped into Zhang Torch.” Zhou Tu covered his nose and pointed at Zhang Torch who froze in place, he noticed that Zhang Torch’s expression was a bit strange, “You were walking fine, why did you suddenly stop?”
Zhang Torch did not reply, tilting his head back to look at the photo on the wall, his mouth slightly open, his pupils shrunk to a point.
”Zhang Torch?”
No matter how much the bystanders shouted, Zhang Torch did not respond, staring at the photo on the wall, his gaze wearing a hint of sadness in its calmness.
He was mentally broken and hysterical when he saw the kitchen knife that killed the girl in the woods, and now he had become completely different from before.
There was no frantic screaming, no reliance on self-mutilation to slow his mental pain, he just stood quietly in front of the photo.
”This doctor …… I have seen.”
His voice was small, so small that only those around him could hear it.
”The fire scorched a fifth of my skin, I watched the flesh and blood burn and smelled the stench from my own body until my eyes melted and my eyelids stuck together and my world fell into darkness.”
”I was rushed to the hospital and couldn’t feel the pain anymore because it hurt so much.”
”I couldn’t open my eyes, my nose was burned away, two-thirds of one ear was left and one-third of the other.”
”I became a monster, I couldn’t see myself, but I knew I wasn’t me anymore, I couldn’t go back and live like a human being.”
”Have you tried listening to your family with two thirds of your ear?”
”Someone is saving me, I can feel my body hurting more and more, I’m getting closer and closer to being alive, but how am I going to wake up?”
”Both eyes were sliced open by something cold and cleaned up a little, my left eye was removed and my right eye could vaguely see a gray world.”
”I can’t perceive light, and there are only shadows in the world I see with my right eye, you guys, do I have to continue to live?”
Zhang Torch pressed his hand on the photo on the wall, his face was oozing blood, a tiny thread of blood emerging from underneath his skin as if it was a needle and thread used for surgical sutures.
”I know this doctor, he stayed with me for a week, death was going to take my life, he was betting against death.”
His voice grew hoarser and hoarser, Zhang Torch’s voice was as if it had been cauterized by a fire, and his appearance was gradually changing.
Scars and blood lines spread across his face, his ears began to wither like flowers, and the eyelid of his left eye slowly melted.
”I didn’t say a word to him, but I was so impressed with him that he was one of the three people who accompanied me in the last moments of my life.”
Guilt for the dead opened the locks in Zhang Torch’s memory, while the doctor who had once saved his life made the otherwise blurry memories clear, and the fragments of memories in his mind pieced together as a thread of blood seeped out from under his skin, as if a scar that had already healed had once again disintegrated.
The threads of blood coalesced in into beads of blood, dripping down onto Zhang Torch’s coat, which was turning a little bit red on him, “If you were in the same situation as me, would you choose to live, or die?”
”Half a red coat? After the memory is restored, the severe ghost will return to its original appearance? Could it be that the female ghost of the tree cave was unable to maintain her normal human form because her memories were not erased cleanly?” Chen Ge’s eyelids fluttered gently, but his reaction was already much better compared to the other club members.
Zhou Tu couldn’t even pick up the kitchen knife and grabbed Zhu Long’s arm, and the two of them unconsciously retreated three meters away.
No one answered back, and Zhang Torch’s gaze slowly moved away from the photo as he looked towards Chen Ge, “I remembered who I am, now can you tell me who you are?”
The two stood on the darkened corridor, looking at each other.
”You asked me this question, and I gave you the answer.” Chen Ge stood still, not taking a step back, “We are of the same kind, I want to retrieve my forgotten memories, and by helping you, I am also helping myself.”
”You’re lying!” Zhang Torch reached out and grabbed at Chen Ge, but he stopped when his fingers were about to touch Chen Ge.
”Why did you stop?” Chen Ge took a step forward as he closed in on Zhang Torch’s despairing and terrifying face, “Are you afraid that after you kill me, another me will rise up from among the corpses? Are you afraid of me in red?”
Grabbing Zhang Torch’s shoulders with both hands, the expression on Chen Ge’s face was crazy to the extreme as he moved his hands over Zhang Torch’s shoulders, and finally slowly cupped Zhang Torch’s face, gently touching the other party’s forehead.
”Kill me? Do you dare?”
Not only Zhang Torch, Zhou Tu and Zhu Long, who were hiding at the back, were also startled.
The corridor was silent, after a long time Chen Ge let go of Zhang Torch, he looked at the other club members in the corridor: “I just want to find my lost memories, by helping me, you are helping yourselves and vice versa.”
