Chapter 0831 – Cooperation
The sudden appearance of the silhouette made the atmosphere in the reading room tense, Chen Ge and his group stood in place, no one continued forward.
”Would you rather believe the ghost behind the door than the living person outside the door?” The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of bizarre eyes.
While his right eye was the same as a normal person’s, his left eye was blood red, like a glass bead dipped in red pigment.
”Standing Orphan.”
With a slight movement of his lips, Chen Ge uttered a name that he hadn’t expected to see the other party here.
”I know you have a lot of doubts right now, but I don’t have the time to explain it to you, you just need to know that I won’t harm you no matter what.” Chang Ku raised the backpack in his hand, “This is your stuff, I brought it here for you.”
Chang Ku was holding the very same backpack that Chen Ge had brought from the haunted house, the zipper had been unzipped, and as many of the things inside were inside.
”Why is my backpack in your hands?” Chen Ge took a step forward.
”Don’t go over there!” Chang Torch stopped Chen Ge, “I don’t have this person in my memory, the situation has changed.”
Chang Ge also heard Zhang Torch’s voice, and he grinned, “You’re really popular, you can make friends wherever you go.”
Sidestepping out of the way, Chang’lu glanced towards the outside of the reading room, his speech quickening, “The backpack was given to me by my sister, she told me that you would definitely come here.”
”Chang Wenyu?”
”En, she will help you leave the school, provided you agree to work with her.” Changeling put down her backpack, “And that’s why you’ll be here.”
”The one who dragged me through the door was Chang Wenyu? You two siblings ganged up on me?” Chen Ge was used to thinking about things from the worst possible angle, he recalled the scene in the hospital where he was dragged into the door, the first hand that reached out from the door, slender and soft, was indeed a woman’s arm.
”There are a lot of things I’ve only just learned, so it’s not cheating, at least I didn’t mean to deceive you in any way.” Standing Orphan looked much better than before, like she was a dozen years younger.
”Say, how does she want to cooperate?” Chen Ge felt that there wasn’t a single person in this school that he could trust, and everyone was working for their own interests.
”Don’t use that reluctant tone, she’s saving you, the situation in this school is far more complicated than you guessed, without her you’ll probably never wake up.” Chang lone took the initiative to walk towards Chen Ge, “We’re the ones who are friends, who have the same goal and understand each other.”
Zhang Torch and Zhu Long protected Chen Ge on both sides, all of them looking at Chang’lu very cautiously.
”What do you need me to do?” Chen Ge didn’t like to beat around the bush, especially in a very dangerous place like behind a door.
”The painter is about to become the new door pusher, and the moment he becomes the door pusher, all the souls behind this door will be imprisoned here for eternity, living in the wonderful paradise created by the painter.” Standing Orphan didn’t stop, he was already very close to Chen Ge.
”Isn’t this also quite good? Give a home to the homeless dead souls, forget about pain and despair, and create a blood-red paradise.” Chen Ge realized that Standing Solitary had really changed a lot, and he couldn’t sense any aura of a living person in the other party.
”There’s no need to condescend to my words, in fact, you know in your own heart that there is no heaven in the world, the painter is daydreaming. My sister wants to stop him, but her own strength alone is a bit insufficient, so she needs your help.” Standing Orphan ignored the two halves of red beside Chen Ge, his blood-red left eye was like a heart, beating slightly in his socket, “There are a total of thirteen stern ghosts in this school that are qualified to become door pushers, of which the painter is the strongest, my sister is the second strongest, and of the remaining eleven, some of them have been subjugated to the painter, while others have had their memories wiped out and have been transformed into puppets. ”
”The difference in strength is too great, counting me in, I don’t think we can stop the painter.” Chen Ge was not pouring cold water on Chang Lone, he was telling the truth, his biggest dependence, Zhang Ya, was still asleep.
”We don’t need you to deal with the painter, you only need to go and wake up all those severe ghosts that the painter sealed.”
”How exactly do we have to do that?” Hearing that he didn’t need to go deal with the painter, Chen Ge sighed in relief.
”Didn’t you already do a good job?” Chang Ge raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Torch and the others, “These three are on top of the list.”
”Three out of the four stern ghosts beside me are qualified to be door pushers?” Chen Ge didn’t expect his luck to be this good.
However, if you thought about it, the fact that the few of them were still isolated in the West Campus, where only good memories remained, was an anomaly in itself.
Chen Ge was about to ask who among the four Lich ghosts was not qualified to be a door pusher when Chang Ku spoke again, “My sister will do her best to distract the painter, and during this time, you have to find as many of those Lich ghosts sealed by the painter as possible and wake them up.”
”Okay, no problem.” Chen Ge had no choice but to agree now, the painter and Chang Wenyu were both people he couldn’t afford to offend, and besides, awakening the severe ghosts and building up his strength was exactly what he wanted to do.
”I knew you would agree.” Chang Lu looked at Chen Ge with satisfaction, “Finally my sister has a few words she wants me to pass on to you.”
”Chang Wenyu has something to say to me?” Chen Ge and Chang Wenyu had never met, he really didn’t know why the other party thought so highly of him.
”Yes, she hopes that you will also be able to obtain the recognition of the school’s will and possess the qualifications of a Gate Pusher.” Standing Orphan’s blood-red left eye danced gently, as if he was observing Chen Ge’s reaction.
”I don’t want to be left behind the door forever.” Chen Ge decisively refused.
”It’s just for you to obtain this qualification.” Chang Ge’s expression softened a bit, “Being recognized by the school’s will makes it easier for you to escape.”
”Then what do I have to do?” Chen Ge had heard Zhou Tu say some of this before, and at this time, he asked Chang Ku just to be a little more secure.
”This door is different from the others, the scene behind the door was split into two parts by the painter, half normal and half blood red. As I’m sure you’ve seen, it’s similar to the east and west campuses.”
”The west campus transports all the negativity and memories of despair to the east campus as a way to keep the west campus clean, and then the painter transports the negativity accumulated in the east campus to the other half of the blood-red scene.”
”The cleansed, normal part behind the door is controlled by the painter, and the school’s will is hidden in the other half of the blood-red scene.”
”It’s a lot of work to explain, so it’s better if you go over there and see for yourself, but I want you to be prepared for the fact that the bloody side of this door is going to be more over the top than any door you’ve ever seen before.”
Changeling thought for a moment to make sure he hadn’t forgotten to explain anything before stepping back, “The mirror next to the bookshelf is the entrance, hurry up and get recognized, this abandoned school is going to be a mess soon.”
