Chapter 0898 – What’s Hiding in Your Shadow?

　　”The painter will undoubtedly become the new door pusher of the Ghost School? You guys are quite confident in him.”

　　Standing in different positions, the way of solving problems was naturally different.

　　In Lin Si Si’s and their eyes, the painter was the only hope, the closest person above the red clothes, but Chen Ge didn’t think so.

　　Whether it was the painter or Chang Wenyu, they were both too paranoid.

　　So far no one knew the true meaning of the door’s existence, even the person who pushed the door himself couldn’t say for sure, in this case, there was no need to forcefully change the world behind the door.

　　Existence was both reasonable, and Chen Ge’s thoughts were a bit more pure.

　　”Get out of the way, the students are innocent, you don’t have the right to make them give everything they have.” Chen Ge stood at the forefront of all the ghost school students, “It was that door of the ghost school that introduced them behind the door, it wasn’t them who took the initiative to push the door open, it’s that door of the ghost school that’s begging for something, not these kids.”

　　Each of Chen Ge’s words resonated with those children, “None of us want to fight against the painter, we just want to live.”

　　The students following Chen Ge began to feel uneasy in their hearts when they saw Lin Si Si and the blindfolded man, being coerced by the school’s will had become the norm, and the painter and the painter’s henchmen were, in a sense, the representatives of the ghost school’s will.

　　Going against them was a sign of being abandoned by the ghost school’s will, and in the crisis-ridden world behind the door, losing the shelter of the ghost school’s will was almost tantamount to death.

　　They didn’t have a choice before, so even if the Ghost School Will went against them sometimes, they could only obey.

　　But on this day, Chen Ge came.

　　He gathered several red coats around him, rescued trapped students in times of danger, dared to call the painter’s men to account, didn’t fear the teachers who represented the administrators, and was truly thinking of the students in everything he did.

　　Why wouldn’t such a person follow?

　　What reason is there for such a person to reject him?

　　Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

　　The painter’s men blocked the way of life, and their actions completely detonated the resentment that the students had squeezed in their hearts.

　　It is important to know that not all of the ghost school students are ghosts and monsters, and a large portion of them are abducted by the “door” of the obsession, their souls were hooked into the door, their bodies are still lying in the hospital, like a vegetable.

　　Before Chen Ge entered the ghost school, when he went to look for Chang Koo, he had seen many parents of the students besieging Chang Koo, and the children of those parents were the students whose obsessions had been lured behind the door.

　　Releasing a small number of obsessions would not have any effect on the ghost school, but if all the obsessions of all the students were released, the cornerstone of the ghost school was shaken.

　　Neither the painter nor the will of the ghost school would allow this to happen, which was why they had to block Chen Ge’s path.

　　”Chen Ge, I really don’t want to fight you, you can’t win.” Lin Sisi slowly lowered her head, as if she had uttered a sentence without thinking, “You don’t know how scary the painter is ……”

　　”Lin!” Without waiting for Lin Si Si to finish speaking, the blindfolded man scolded sternly, he twisted his head around and ripped off the black cloth that blindfolded his eyes, “Don’t forget who fished you out of the deep water, and who used the paintings to help you retain the only good memories you have left.”

　　Hearing the blindfolded man’s words, Lin Si Si’s complexion slowly turned cold, he seemed to have sealed his emotions.

　　”Chen Ge, Lin and I don’t hate you, the painter also thinks very highly of you, he even wants you to join us, we shouldn’t fight each other, lead all the students back to the teaching building, the painter will forgive you back for all those wrongs you’ve done.”

　　”Forgive me?” Chen Ge took a few steps backward, just when the blindfolded man and Lin Si Si both thought that he was going to give in, Chen Ge spoke up again, “But I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, so I don’t need his forgiveness, it’s you guys that should do some serious introspection.”

　　There were too many students following Chen Ge, and people were constantly being dragged away by the monsters in the blood mist, never to return.

　　The sick suit in the center of the storm was worried that Chen Ge had been persuaded by the painter’s henchmen, and he drove a large number of ghosts and monsters to besiege the students who were following Chen Ge.

　　With every second of drag, a large number of students disappeared.

　　”You’ll regret this.” The blindfolded man dropped the black cloth in his hand, his eyes that had been tightly closed slowly opened, a sea of blood was in the middle of his left eye, and in his right eye, he could only see people and ghosts and monsters, he couldn’t see any scenery, it seemed as if there was nothing else in his eyes except for the blood, the living, and the obsessions.

　　”I have seen what you look like when you die.”

　　The painter and the man manipulating the blood mist agreed on how to deal with Chen Ge on this issue.

　　The monster in the blood mist and the man with the hooded eyes struck at Chen Ge’s team at the same time; the difference was simply that the man with the hooded eyes and Lin Si Si only struck at Red Clothes, while the monster in the blood mist attacked indiscriminately.

　　”Stop!” The old principal shouted loudly, an obsession dissipated as he witnessed a student being dragged into the blood mist in front of him.

　　It was too cruel to die behind the door, leaving nothing behind, equivalent to being erased from the world.

　　The battle between the painter, Chang Wenyu and the man manipulating the blood mist had reached a white-hot state.

　　It was a matter of life and death, and their men didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless, putting everything they had into fulfilling their master’s orders, even if it added one more chance of victory, it was worth it.

　　There was no trial and error, and the battle began with the bloodiest of killings.

　　The strength of the blindfolded man and Lin Si Si exceeded Chen Ge’s guesses, being able to become the painter’s right-hand man was really extraordinary.

　　Both of them could mobilize the will of the Ghost School, and both of them also possessed extremely terrifying special abilities.

　　The blindfolded man seemed to be able to see the living before they died and could recreate the process of death, allowing himself to personify fear and pain.

　　Lin Si Si’s ability was even more special, his body could turn into a gray mist, no one could see through what was in the gray mist, and any ghosts or monsters that were dragged away by the gray mist, no matter whether it was a stern ghost or a red dress, were already covered in wounds and lost their fighting ability when they came out again.

　　Chen Ge felt that those who were dragged into the gray mist were still able to come out alive solely because Lin Sisi did not have any killing intent.

　　Lin Sisi and the blindfolded man had special abilities, and the numerical advantage could not be reflected at all in front of them, so the situation was a bit bad.

　　The reasoning of capturing the thief first is understood by everyone, Chen Ge’s team had a fatal loophole, and that was Chen Ge himself, he was just a living person, and if it wasn’t for Red Clothes’ inch-by-inch protection, he wouldn’t have even been able to survive in the midst of the frenzied blood mist.

　　The blindfolded man and Lin Si Si were both trying to get close to Chen Ge, and one after another half-bodied Red Clothes fell in front of Chen Ge, then it was Red Clothes’ turn.

　　Most of the red clothes that followed Chen Ge had injuries on their bodies, and the key thing was that apart from Xu Yin, none of the red clothes would risk their own souls to protect Chen Ge.

　　There were two enemies, but Xu Yin only had one.

　　The situation was getting worse and worse as strong enemies attacked, friends around them fell one after another, and large blood-colored waves continued to pour out of the blood-red city in the distance.

　　The battle between the three top-level ghosts overhead had yet to be decided, and they had reached their limits, with the final winner about to eat everything.

　　Han Song and Sakura Red went around putting out fires, protecting all the ghost school students following Chen Ge from being slaughtered by the monsters in the blood mist, while the remaining red clothes all gathered near Chen Ge to block the blindfolded man and Lin Si Si.

　　”You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.” Lin Si Si transformed into a gray mist and no one could stop him, so the crowd began to surround the blindfolded man, who felt the pressure and glanced towards the mouth of the well.

　　The monster crawling at the mouth of the water well let out a rattling laugh, braced his limbs on the wall of the well, and poked his head into the middle of the dry well.

　　While everyone was wondering what he wanted to do, the sound of water flowing came out from the dead well, the sound grew louder and louder, and finally it was like a big wave lapping against the reef.

　　When the monster on all fours stuck its head out again, everyone who saw it frowned.

　　The monster’s head and body were upside down as he laughed strangely and rushed towards Chen Ge, and after his departure, a human head emerged from the dry well, like a black blister.

　　”What’s that?”

　　Weird laughter connected as countless monsters with their heads turned upside down climbed out of the dry well.

　　”Buried in that well is the painter’s biggest secret, it’s a twisted upside down world, these guys are what people look like in the painter’s heart.” After Lin Si Si said this, he went straight to Xu Yin, he could see how much Chen Ge valued Xu Yin.

　　Gray mist enveloped and engulfed Xu Yin.

　　”Xu Yin!”

　　Chen Ge watched as Xu Yin disappeared in the midst of the gray mist, the feeling was like a complete person suddenly vacating a piece.

　　The monsters pouring out of the wells impacted Chen Ge’s team, and with the red clothes almost all mopping them up, standing at the center of the chaos, Chen Ge in turn calmed down.

　　Now that the situation was out of control, the painter had a lot of backhanders, and that was a guy that people couldn’t see through.

　　Chen Ge looked towards the gift box in his arms, he reached out and took out a candy from the candy bag next to the gift box.

　　The milky-white candy gave off a tantalizing scent, only that the human face crying and begging for mercy on it was a bit distracting to the appetite.

　　Murmuring that name in his heart, Chen Ge gently threw the candy in his hand onto his shadow.

　　Nothing happened as the candy fell, but Chen Ge’s strange behavior attracted the attention of someone with a heart.

　　”What are you doing?” The blindfolded man faced several red coats surrounding him and still had the spare energy to observe Chen Ge; this man was the most terrifyingly severe ghost in the Ghost School besides Painter and Chang Wenyu.

　　Chen Ge did not reply and took out another candy and placed it on his shadow.

　　This time the candy unexpectedly changed, it was slowly dissolving, as if it was being absorbed by something among Chen Ge’s shadow.

　　”What are you hiding in your shadow?” The blindfolded man developed a bad premonition as he let out a shrill howl, and countless monsters that had run out of the withered well frantically surged towards Chen Ge.
