Chapter 0983 – Special Ability

　　”Be careful and watch out for the shrine on his back.”

　　The shrines that he had seen in the Virtual Future Land appeared once again, and Chen Ge seriously suspected that there might be more shrines hidden in the eastern suburbs.

　　”Above the red clothes is a fierce god, so it’s understandable to set up shrines, but why is there a clay figure placed in every shrine?”

　　The clay figure should have come from the same person, the workmanship was very rough, as if it was casually pinched by a child, and a human figure could barely be seen.

　　”Shrines, clay figurines, who the hell are the people who set these up? They seem to have a penchant for children, could there really be ghosts in the world that specialize in eating children?”

　　As Chen Ge pondered, the man kneeling on the ground noticed him.

　　The hand carving the name stopped, and the man slowly twisted his head, revealing a face with no facial features.

　　It was like a blank sheet of paper, nothing but pallor.

　　In the lonely building on a rainy night, in the room carved with the man’s name, lay a faceless monster with a shrine on his back, and if Xu Yin hadn’t been standing right next to him, Chen Ge might have walked away the moment the man raised his head.

　　With a blank face, no expression could be seen, and it was impossible to guess the other person’s heart, much less predict their behavior.

　　The monster didn’t have ears, Chen Ge didn’t know if he could hear what he said.

　　The monster didn’t have a mouth either, it couldn’t even do the most basic communication.

　　After a short pause, the monster kneeling on the ground suddenly braced its hands on the ground and crawled on all fours towards Chen Ge’s side.

　　”Xu Yin!”

　　Actually, there was no need for Chen Ge to open his mouth, Xu Yin had already blocked in front of Chen Ge, leaning forward with his upper body, black and red veins surfaced on the back of his hand, and he pressed down on the monster’s head with one hand.

　　The fingertips pierced into the monster’s face like a blade, the skin was cut, but no blood flowed out.

　　A black thread crawled out from the wound on the monster’s face and wrapped around Xu Yin’s pale hand.

　　”Curse?”

　　Each thin thread had a wailing human face carved into it, exactly like the one Chen Ge had seen when he had fought Shadow in Liwan Town.

　　”Such a vicious curse hidden underneath white as paper cheeks, it’s true that the most evil souls are often hidden underneath the purest of appearances.”

　　Xu Yin wasn’t very good at dealing with curses, but Chen Ge here had red clothes against curses, he took out the red heels from his backpack and gently placed them on the ground, “You seem to feed on curses, have a taste and see if this guy is to your liking.”

　　Leaving the headless female ghost by his side, Chen Ge didn’t give the other party a chance to struggle, releasing Xu Yin, Red High Heels and Stench at the same time.

　　The three reds struck together, and the faceless monster was instantly suppressed, the countless bright red blood threads were like cobwebs and sharp blades, pressing the faceless monster to the ground, and if he moved even slightly, his body would be torn apart.

　　However, the monster was not giving in to this, he seemed to have no self-consciousness and could not feel pain or sorrow, the wounds on his body continued to grow, but he still dared to strike out at the three redcoats.

　　”This guy isn’t a Redcoat, yet he’s unexpectedly difficult to deal with, it seems like he’s been instilled with some kind of instruction that he must guard the shrine.” Chen Ge had dealt with ghosts and monsters more often, and saw the problem at a glance, “Forget about him for now, take down the shrine, and be careful not to damage the clay sculptures inside.”

　　When the object of attack changed from the monster to the shrine, the house suddenly began to appear abnormal, all those names carved in the house amongst the building began to ooze blood outwards, and in just a few seconds, the walls and floor of the entire second floor were dyed red.

　　The stench of the air became even stronger, and the monster that was suppressed on the ground and unable to move struggled violently.

　　He took the initiative to touch the blood threads left behind by the red clothes, cutting a hideous wound on his body.

　　Countless black filaments gushed out from the wounds, converging together like the tongue of a giant beast, trying to wrap the shrine around it.

　　With the four Red Clothes present, Chen Ge had thought that he had a sure victory, but as time passed, the situation became a bit more complicated.

　　A terrifying number of curse threads all surrounded the red heels, and the more wounds there were on that monster, the more terrifying the curses that emerged from his body.

　　The red high-heeled shoes that were covered in bandages became the main target of the monster’s attack, if it was just this, Chen Ge wouldn’t care.

　　The curses on the entire second floor all added up could only stop the red high heels, Xu Yin, Stench, and the three red clothes of the headless female ghost did not become the target of the curse’s attack, and with the three red clothes in place, the other party would not be able to turn the tables no matter what.

　　The gap between the red clothes and the ghosts is not something that can be leveled out by quantity. Even Yan Dainian, who is able to manipulate many ghosts at the same time, can only claim to be the strongest ghost under the red clothes.

　　However, soon, Chen Ge sensed that something was wrong.

　　The stench and Xu Yin who surrounded the faceless monster were in a somewhat strange state, and the headless female ghost by his own side was also a bit off!

　　The fishy smell of blood was getting heavier and heavier, and the three red coats other than the red heels no longer hid the scent of terror on their bodies as they began to reveal their most bloody and hideous sides.

　　”There’s danger around? They sensed something terrifying?”

　　The room was still the same room, Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils, ghost ears and spirit smell, he was pretty sure that there was nothing coming from the surroundings, only a few of them were there.

　　”There’s no danger encountered, why are they like this?” After staying in the house of horrors for a long time, these red coats would habitually hide their own scent, they would subconsciously not recall the pain and despair, accompanying Chen Ge in a completely new way.

　　Of course this process wasn’t accomplished in a short period of time, but rather, under Chen Ge’s step-by-step guidance and companionship, both sides built up a kind of trust.

　　But just now, that trust was covered by something, and that most precious thing seemed to have been shattered.

　　A piercing coldness came from her back, and the headless female ghost’s line of sight towards Chen Ge became confused, the two colors of scarlet and ghastly white intertwining in her eyes.

　　It seemed like something was affecting her, making her forget who the person in front of her was.

　　If the person standing in front of her at this moment was not Chen Ge, but just an ordinary person what would she do? What would a soul that recalled a painful past and was filled with despair do?

　　The answer was needless to say, Chen Ge tried to communicate with the headless female ghost, trying to keep the other party awake, but the effect was very poor.

　　The headless female ghost was farther away from the shrine and the monster and wasn’t affected too much, but it was a different story for Xu Yin and Stench, who were preparing to remove the clay figurines from the shrine at this time.

　　Their situation was so bad that hideous ghostly faces surfaced on their scarlet tunics, and both redcoats were on the verge of going berserk.

　　”This monster’s ability can affect the red clothes?” Chen Ge had never encountered such a situation before, even Yan Dainian, the strongest stern ghost under the red coats acknowledged by the black phone, had a very weak influence on the red coats with his ability.

　　”The sanity of the three red clothes is in trouble, and his ability can affect the sanity of the red clothes? No, looking at the headless female ghost’s situation, the way she looks at me has become a bit strange, it feels like she has forgotten the memories between her and me!”

　　Chen Ge felt something bad, a guess surfaced in his mind, “Could this monster’s ability be to fade certain memories?”
