Chapter 0865: I wonder where they went?

　　The real way to teach a child according to his or her abilities was not to promote his or her strengths and avoid his or her weaknesses, but rather to face up to the problems and flaws, and prescribe the right medicine for the problem.

　　Although Chen Ge didn’t have children, in a way, he was the head of the family of his haunted house.

　　Treating different employees, communicating with them in different ways, and maximizing their enthusiasm for work is what a successful boss must be able to do.

　　After Han Song and the members of the Taekwondo club joined, the line behind Chen Ge became much longer again.

　　”Headmaster, I actually didn’t intend to finish off Han Song from the start, I just wanted to make him feel the pain of the weak and make him remember who he once was.” Chen Ge didn’t want there to be a misunderstanding between him and the old principal: “Our fundamental purpose is to obtain the recognition of the Ghost School’s will, killing a student amongst the Ghost School this would obviously go against the Ghost School’s will.”

　　Chen Ge understood this reasoning a long time ago, “The most powerful being in this school besides the ghost school will should be a stern ghost called Painter, he was very thoughtful and used the resources in his hands to try to make the ghost school a paradise without fighting, but unfortunately, he was obstructed by another top redcoat. I don’t know the final result, but those stern ghosts who offended and hindered the painter ended up having all their memories wiped.”

　　”The painter didn’t kill them?” The old principal got to the point at once.

　　”Yes, even if those stern ghosts kept messing up, the painter didn’t bother to kill them.” Chen Ge said softly, “Swallowing red clothes can dramatically increase the strength of oneself and one’s companions, the painter wouldn’t not understand this, so it’s not that he didn’t want to kill them, but he couldn’t. Don’t forget, before the new door pusher appears, the real owner of this school is the Ghost School Will that hangs above the school, the painter is very strong, but he still has to act within the permissible limits of the school’s will.”

　　”Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

　　”If I told you the truth, would you still be wearing that expression? When you went to save Han Song just now, you really wanted to save him, against all odds, sincerely, these things can’t be faked, I can see it, Han Song should be able to see it too.” Chen Ge had a smile on the corner of his mouth, “Headmaster, you are the kindest person I’ve ever seen, I don’t mean to deceive you, it’s just that I want to do more, there are a lot of things in this world that can’t be done with kindness alone.”

　　The smile’s on his face slowly tightened, “Behind the door is filled with despair and negativity, but the source of these emotions is outside the door, I don’t know how the world behind the door came to be, but I do know that if everyone was like you, behind the door could be nothing more than a pure dream.”

　　Twisting his head to look out the window, Chen Ge looked at the dense blood mist, “Maybe the stars can be seen here as well.”

　　It was the first time the old principal had seen Chen Ge show such an expression, “You seem to have something on your mind?”

　　”I never tell these things to others, you’re the first to hear it, probably because you know my parents and I’m sure you won’t hurt me.” Chen Ge and the old principal walked at the front of the group, “In a big ghost school, standing amongst the red clothes and the stern ghosts, I may be the only living person, sometimes I get scared, but I know that I can’t go scared. I’m a very ordinary living person, but I’m also the owner of the haunted house, the backbone of those kids, if I mess up, everyone will be scattered, so I can’t be afraid, and I don’t dare to have the thought of being afraid.”

　　It wasn’t until Chen Ge said this that the old principal started to look at Chen Ge again, if he was still alive, his grandson should be the same age as him.

　　Supposedly Chen Ge was acting very strong, so even he had overlooked the most fundamental issue, he was the only living person in the deathly extinct realm.

　　In this blood-red abyss, he was like a flickering candlelight that a slightly stronger wind would blow out.

　　It should be hard for him as well.

　　The old principal’s heart’s couldn’t help but surface these, “In the future, if you want to talk to someone, you can come to me at any time, I’ve lived for most of my life, although I haven’t accomplished any great things, I still don’t have any problems being a qualified listener.”

　　”Thanks.” Chen Ge casually asked, “Actually, I really want to know about my parents, they haven’t told me anything, Principal, can you tell me about them in your mind?”

　　”All I know is that they are very enthusiastic, don’t ask for anything in return, and have helped me a lot. Also as far as I know, they’ve helped a lot of people in the western suburbs, and they always donate most of the income from their own haunted houses, they’ve done far more than I have.” The old principal spoke very highly of Chen Ge’s parents.

　　”Then have they ever mentioned me? I want to know what I’m like in their eyes?” Chen Ge’s speech slowed down as he tried to figure out what had happened between himself and Shadow.

　　The old principal didn’t answer right away, he said after a long time, “I once visited your house, it was late at night and your parents were about to leave the house. I didn’t know where they were going, I just saw them standing in front of your room for a long, long time.”

　　”You’ve been to my house?” Chen Ge had bought his family’s old house in order to keep the haunted house running properly, and he didn’t want to go back to that place lest he be reminded of the past.

　　”Chen Ge, no matter what, I hope you understand that your parents really love you, they may have done a lot of things that you can’t understand now, but I hope you won’t be angry with them.” The old principal seemed to know some inside information, but he had no way to tell Chen Ge about those.

　　”I haven’t seen them for a long time?” Chen Ge’s voice made the old principal’s ears hurt.

　　”Can you tell me where they ended up?” Stopping his steps, Chen Ge suddenly opened his mouth, and the old principal’s mouth opened slightly, as if he subconsciously wanted to say something, but the moment he was about to say it, he hurriedly closed his mouth again.

　　”Can’t you tell me?” Chen Ge stopped walking and his eyes just looked straight at the old principal like that, like a homeless child standing in a rainstorm.

　　The old principal hesitated and finally shook his head, “They will come back for you.”

　　”It’s fine, I also think they will come back.” Chen Ge took a breath and became the same as usual again, “Let’s go, let’s keep moving forward, when we gain enough approval from the severe ghosts, the Ghost School Will should recognize us as well, at that time, we’ll just have a showdown with everyone, I don’t want to drag this out anymore.”

　　Sunny, strong, kind, with a ruthlessness in his bones, calm to the point of being ridiculously calm, but sometimes like a child.

　　The old principal looked at Chen Ge, his view of Chen Ge had changed without him realizing it, if it was just a cooperative relationship before, then now he was treating Chen Ge as his junior.

　　This transformation, he himself didn’t realize, it could be because of guilt or for other reasons.

　　”Headmaster, what I told you today, I hope you won’t tell anyone else.”
