Chapter 0985 – She Forgot Her Name, But Not You
The most dangerous thing in the hut was the mud sculpture, and now that the mud sculpture was in the hands of the headless female ghost, the other party no longer had a chance to fight back.
The faceless monster had almost killed Chen Ge under the protection of the four red coats just now, and although there was a reason for the shrine and the clay mold, it also proved the horror of the faceless man’s own ability from the side.
He could erase certain memories, and this ability, when used properly, could bring Chen Ge a great deal of help.
”It’s not often that a stern ghost with such a terrifying ability is seen, and the most crucial thing is that he himself isn’t a Redcoat yet. When he becomes a Redcoat, this ability will become even more terrifying.”
In Chen Ge’s opinion, if Yan Dainian was the strongest Lied Ghost under Red Coat, then the faceless man should be able to rank as the second strongest under Red Coat.
”The Knight Ghosts I draw in the reels are really getting higher in quality.”
Swallowing away the remaining curse, the red heels and the stench combined to drag the man out of the faceless monster’s shell.
A large amount of the curse’s threads stuck and clung to his body, and it was as if he had been wrapped in a cocoon before.
When all the cursed threads disappeared, the man slumped on the floor, he was dry and skinny, and didn’t look old, seemingly having just reached adulthood.
”Can you hear me?” Chen Ge squatted in front of the man, after the man was free from the curse, his body became illusory, as if it would dissipate at any time, “I didn’t come to save you entirely out of kindness, I was entrusted by someone.”
The man’s eyes remained tightly closed, it was as if he had experienced something similar, only that in the past he had been deceived, now he had given up hope.
”It was Fang Yu who asked me to find you, she carved your name all over her body, she would go to the park downtown every day and sit on a bench waiting for you.” Chen Ge’s voice gradually became louder: “Now that the park is going to be demolished, last night should have been the last time she went to wait for you.”
The man’s expression still did not change much, only his eyelids fluttered gently.
”Fang Yu’s illness is getting worse, perhaps before she dies, her biggest wish is to see you, she has a lot of things she wants to say to you, you are her best friend and her only friend.”
Chen Ge didn’t know which of his words had touched the other party, perhaps it was his saying that Fang Yu would die that had stimulated the man.
The eyelids fluttered faster and faster, and the man lying on the ground finally opened his eyes.
His eyes were very special, cat-like, with two vertical thin lines in the depths of his pupils, and after looking at them for a long time, it was as if they would suck people in.
”Square Fish, Square Fish ……”
Repeatedly chanting this name, the man’s sanity was slowly returning to normal, after so many years, perhaps it was these two words that supported him, keeping his obsession from getting lost.
After a long time, the man tilted his head to look at Chen Ge, his lips moving slightly, “Has she not forgotten me yet? Once she remembers me, that person will go to her, this is the curse that person placed within my body.”
”Her memory is poor, but she hasn’t forgotten you even if she has forgotten her name.” A very simple sentence without any embellishment, after Chen Ge said it, the man on the ground slowly lowered his head as he closed his eyes once again.
”For ten years, she has repeated the memories of the day you left, she is experiencing the same pain every day, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should still think about her, right? Do you think that your choice is really for her good?” Chen Ge sat down in front of the man, he had left this man alive because he felt that the other party’s ability was special, and secondly, he wanted him to meet Fang Yu.
”I am protecting her, there is an evil spirit that has set its sights on Fang Yu! You don’t understand his horror, you don’t know ……”
”Is that evil ghost you’re talking about an invisible shadow?” Chen Ge perked up, what the other party said next should be related to the shrine.
”He is very much like a person’s shadow, but he will grow on his own, and he also possesses an entity, the most crucial thing is that he is so strong that he is desperate.” The man slumped on the ground, his voice filled with exhaustion, “That guy is looking for the right people and wants to attach himself to them, when Fang Yu and I were playing together, Fang Yu often heard someone shouting her name, that voice came from the east, at first I didn’t care about it at all until one day when we came to play next to the eastern suburb of the reservoir.”
”Fang Fish heard that voice again, she seemed to have lost herself and walked towards the depths of the woods, and I followed her.”
”Then we saw this house, the door of which was open, and inside there were many children staring at us with those terrible smiles.”
”I felt bad, so I dragged Fang Fish outside, but Fang Fish didn’t react at all, and as a result, both of us were dragged into the house.”
”I didn’t think much of it at the time, and pushed Fang Fish out at the last minute, then I closed the door.”
The man’s body was still fading, and his obsession seemed to be on the verge of dissipating.
”That’s when my nightmares started, this house is superficially planted with flowers and filled with laughter, but it’s actually a house of nightmares. Everyone was a playmate of that shadow, but everyone’s smiles were forced.”
”That shadow planted curses on everyone, and because I let the square fish go, he hated me extraordinarily and put countless curses on me.”
”I endured more pain than anyone else, but it also made me much tougher than the others.”
”Shadow in some ways didn’t act like a harsh ghost at all, he was even slowly growing up like a human.”
”Gradually he didn’t need the pretend friends anymore, he needed a caretaker.”
”He made all his former ‘family members’ kill each other, because he only needed one to be enough.”
”Enduring the most curses and pain, I ‘survived’ to the end, and the shadow seemed pleased with the result.”
”I didn’t know why at the time, but later I realized that it was all planned by him.”
”That shadow went out more and more, until one day he brought back a shrine.” The man glanced behind him, “Inside the shrine was also a clay figure with the word Square Fish written on it.”
”I had a bad feeling in my heart when I saw the two characters Fang Yu, I wanted to escape from this hellish place and secretly tell Fang Yu to leave Hanjiang.”
”But who knows, everything was expected by that shadow, he was deliberately using me to get close to Fang Yu, wanting to plant the curse on Fang Yu and turn her into his own body.”
The man’s words surprised Chen Ge, “The shadow wanted to take Fang Yu as his own body?”
”Yes, it seems like there is another thing hidden inside him, that thing holds his memories and emotions, and he seems to want to make that thing grow in Fang Yu’s body.”
”A plutonic fetus?”
”Yes, I vaguely heard that shadow say that.” The man was surprised, “How did you know that?”
