Chapter 0814 – A Moveable Door
Zhang Torch had long realized that Chen Ge was not an ordinary person, those eyes could remain calm no matter what they saw, as if nothing in this world could surprise him.
Frankly speaking, he was afraid of such a person, but it was precisely because of his fear that he chose to listen and follow.
Standing in front of the photo, Zhang Torch opened his only remaining right eye as he silently gazed at Chen Ge’s face.
Ordinary features, an appearance that couldn’t be found at a glance in a crowd, but this was the kind of person who had just inadvertently revealed an expression that scared even himself.
It was hard to describe, it was like a combination of a deeply resentful ghost and a perverted madman, from that face one could see madness, sickness, cruelty, but only fear and dread could not be seen.
Zhang Torch knew what he looked like, and he had always thought that he was a horrible monster, but Chen Ge’s actions just now made him realize that there were even more horrible “monsters” in this world than him.
”Yes, we should be in the same category.”
He believed Chen Ge’s words because that expression could only be possessed by someone who had experienced hell, and the other party had forgotten the past just like himself.
”I’m sorry, Teacher Bai, I recalled some very unpleasant memories, that’s why I lost control.” Zhang Torch’s voice was hard and harsh, but his attitude was much better.
”It’s fine, how could a teacher really blame a student?” Chen Ge had a smile on his face, giving off a kind and gentle feeling, and it was hard to believe that the person who spoke to Zhang Torch just now was also him, “What did you recall? Don’t have concerns, tell me all.”
”It’s nothing really, it’s all painful memories.” The wounds on Zhang Torch’s body were still seeping blood out, his clothes were dyed red bit by bit, “I recalled myself when I witnessed the murder, cowardly and timid; I recalled the feeling of the fire burning my skin, like a needle sticking into my flesh until I couldn’t feel the pain; I also recalled the way I was lying in a sterile hospital room and struggling, despair took root in my heart, I didn’t want to die, but didn’t know how to live.”
”Then in the last stage of your life, did anything special happen to you or around you?” Zhang Torch appeared in the world inside the “door”, but he had already lost the ability to push open the door, Chen Ge was curious about how he entered the school, only knowing the way in, could he speculate on the way to escape.
In the three-star scene, the “door” is the only entrance and exit, but the four-star scene seems to be a little different.
”The last stage of life ……” Zhang Torch reached out and touched his face: “I seem to be in a coma, but I can sense the outside world, I can’t distinguish between reality and nightmares, but I clearly remember one thing, every late at night, the ward would appear. of the night, a door would appear in the ward.”
”A door?”
”I stayed in the hospital for seven days, and that door would appear every night, getting closer and closer to me, until finally, it ran to the side of my bed.” Zhang Torch tilted his head back, his face covered in blood, “It was a door that moved, and the more scared and desperate I became, the closer it would get to me. I couldn’t ask for help, and on the night of the eighth day, that door was pushed open from the inside, and a hand reached out of the doorway and yanked me in.”
The situation described by Torch is the same as what happened to Chang, they both encountered a “door” that moved on its own, and in the early hours of the night, the door slowly approached the sleeping person, and eventually stood next to the bed, the door was pushed open from the inside, and took away the living person in the bed.
”Is this school behind the door?” Chen Ge was more curious about what happened behind it, he wanted to know the process of Zhang Torch’s amnesia, how this student, who had been disfigured in the fire, had turned half red step by step.
Zhang Torch shook his head, “I had a dream, an incomparably real dream, in the dream they all called me Lin Si Si, I repeatedly told them that my name was Zhang Torch and that they had mistaken me for someone else, but they thought I was joking.”
”No one believed me, I could only live in the dream under the name Lin Si Si Si, experiencing everything that happened to Lin Si Si, over time, even I myself began to doubt whether I was called Lin Si Si Si or not?”
”Being bullied, being coldly violent, being ignored, it’s not a good feeling, but on second thought, the reality of me has already turned into a monster, so living in a dream like this is actually quite good.”
Voice flat, Zhang Torch as if telling someone else’s story: “I have no friends, the whole world hates me, mental and physical double torture slowly make me become numb, until one day, a girl came into my dream.”
”It was a rainy day, a frog was stuffed in my classmate’s school bag, she suspected that I did it, but how could I do such a boring thing?”
”No one listened to my defense, my classmates kicked me out of the classroom, and everyone in the corridor looked at me with strange eyes, so I had to escape alone to the rooftop of the school building.”
”There, I met her.”
”Even though I knew it was a dream, I still felt that girl was special.” Chang Torch’s voice appeared to change, “Her name was Chang Wenyu, and she was the only one who didn’t ignore me.”
”I poured out my grievances to her and she expressed her understanding.”
”Then I told her about my past and told her that I wasn’t actually Lin Si Si Si.”
”She was very interested in what I had to say, and I enjoyed spending time with her, because it was only when I was with her that I could not forget myself and not be assimilated into that dream.”
”We met every evening on the rooftop and I slowly felt like I couldn’t stay away from her.”
”Just when I felt that life was slowly getting colorful, she suddenly asked me a question – do you want to see the scenery outside the school?”
”I didn’t understand the significance of the question at that time, I was just thinking about being with her, so I nodded.”
”That night, after midnight zero, she took me to the library.”
”The door to the school library was kept locked, so we climbed through a window into it and found a mirror behind a bookshelf on the third floor.”
”The mirror was huge, and the girl said it could be used a few more times, and told me never to tell anyone.”
”I trusted her, and at the same time remembered something; it was the first time I had ever seen a mirror in a dream!”
”I asked the girl what I should do?”
”The girl just said that I should just be quiet and look at the mirror.”
”I stood in front of the mirror, she hid behind me, and the dead of night I just looked at myself in the mirror.”
”The more I looked the more I realized that the person in the mirror didn’t look like me, and slowly I started to bleed and a scar appeared on the face of the person in the mirror.”
”His ears withered, his left eye closed, and his face full of blood!”
”I didn’t dare to look any further, but when I tried to leave, the monster in the mirror grabbed me!”
”Blood flowed on the mirror until it colored the whole mirror red!”
”I cried out for help and twisted my head to look at Chang Wenyu, but she was indifferent, and I still remember the last words she said to me until now – why be afraid? The one in the mirror is the real you.”
”Her slender fingers gently pressed on my left eye and slowly removed it!”
”The world instantly lost its color, I was dragged away by the monster in the mirror, and all the beautiful expectations were all turned into the most vicious curses at that moment.”
