Chapter 0995 – The Door by the Bed
The third building was a turning point for Chen Ge. He had always tried to escape before, but here he tried to fight back for the first time, and then suddenly realized that the “bad guys” weren’t unafraid either.
Back to the place where the dream began, Chen Ge climbed over the wall of the sick building and found the location of the door.
Because he missed 12:00 a.m., Chen Ge could only open the door by other means.
In fact, he had wanted to test something for a long time, but he had never had the chance.
There were still countless mysteries surrounding the “door” that hadn’t been solved, and many door pushers didn’t have a clue about the doors they pushed open, let alone Chen Ge, an ordinary person.
Calling out Xu Yin and Red High Heels, Chen Ge used Blood Silk and Curse in turn, but nothing happened to the door.
Then he summoned Stench and Headless Female Ghost, and the number of red clothes continued to increase, as a ghastly wind rose, and countless blood filaments spread across the wall skin, as if they were going to paint the entire corridor a blood-red color.
Several redcoats used their respective abilities on the door, but none of them could actually open it, Chen Ge took the comic book and was about to release the other redcoats again when the door suddenly trembled without warning.
Blood seeped out of the door panel, and footsteps sounded in the empty room.
”Finally a response, is the person coming over Mennan?”
The sound of footsteps approached, and as the color of blood spread over the door of the room, the door panel was opened, and a child in red who was only a little taller than Chen Ge’s knees lay on his back by the door, tilting his head to look outside.
”Men Nan, it’s been a long time ……”
”Snap!”
The blood-red door panel was instantly slammed shut before Chen Ge could even react.
A few seconds later, the door to the room was opened once again, and as Men Nan’s eyes swept over one red coat after another, he raised his tiny hand and slapped himself.
As soon as the door was opened, seeing several red clothes standing outside the door to deliver warmth, there couldn’t be a more real nightmare than this.
”Snap!”
The door to the room was slammed shut once more, and the blood stains on the door panel flew away.
”Men Nan, Brother Nan, I’ve come here for something important this time, the Underworld Fetus that was separated from Shadow’s body is about to be resurrected, he’s heartless and vengeful.” Chen Ge knocked on the blood-red door panel, “The situation is very dangerous right now, you open the door first.”
A few seconds later, the bloody door was opened a crack once again, and Men Nan leaned over the crack to peek out, “Are you here to silence him?”
”How can you think so? The two of us were born to die, and we have a life-long friendship, I definitely won’t harm you.”
The bloody door slowly pushed open, and Men Nan’s eyes kept wandering around the red clothes.
He was a bit scared, the feeling was like an elementary school student who had just started first grade being surrounded by a few tattoo-covered yakuza brothers.
”I know about the existence of the Underworld Tire, when I first heard it from the Weird Tales Association, that thing is very scary, I guess one look and I’m gone.” Men Nan gently waved towards Chen Ge, “I really can’t help you with any help, let’s see you later, I’m going to fix the window. I don’t know what happened in that blood-colored city recently, the amount of blood mist has skyrocketed, I have to fix the windows before disaster strikes.”
”Men Nan, you don’t have to be overly modest, in terms of strength you are indeed inferior to the other Redcoats, but perhaps it is precisely because of being so weak that you have completely retained your sanity as a human being, this is the most important point.” Chen Ge squatted in front of Men Nan: “You can communicate with me freely, your own intelligence is far beyond normal people, if I have an accident, you can also go alone to make the most correct choice.”
Men Nan belonged to the weakest among the redcoats, but he had an advantage that most of the redcoats did not possess, he retained his sanity and was not affected by negative emotions.
”Hearing your compliments, why am I not only unhappy, but also have a feeling of being offended?” Mennan scratched his neck, his small eyebrows furrowed together, “Let me think about it.”
”No gate pusher can go it alone, if we can’t stop the Undertaker, he’ll come after us one day. Do you remember those days when you were detained by the Weird Tales Society? The Stygian Tire will be even more brutal than what they did.”
After struggling for ten minutes, Mennan then agreed, “Alright, I’ll help you one last time.”
”I’ll send you back immediately after finishing off the Stygian Tire.” Chen Ge flipped through the comic book, the reason why he valued Men Nan so much was actually to fulfill a plan.
A plan that could be carried out normally even if he lost consciousness and fell into near-death.
”It’s a deal, if you dare to lie to me, I really won’t let you go even as a ghost.” Closing the door to the third sick bay, Men Nan did not resist and was included among the comic books.
”This kid is just a knife’s mouth and a tofu heart.” Chen Ge retrieved the red clothes around him one by one, finally leaving only Xu Yin by his side.
The two of them stayed in the empty corridor for a while, and Chen Ge took out the repeater from his backpack, “Xu Yin, if you can’t find me anymore on a certain night, don’t do anything impulsive. You can go and ask Men Nan, he is actually a very smart stern spirit, he will help you make the right choice, understand?”
With an unresolvable melancholy in her eyes, Xu Yin gently nodded her head.
”Let’s go, let’s go to the next place.” Retrieving Xu Yin, Chen Ge left the third sick building, he didn’t go back to rest and directly took a taxi to the neighborhood where Jiang Ming lived.
”Once this night is over, there will only be seven nights left, it feels like time has passed so quickly when I think about it like this.”
Jiang Ming lived in an upscale neighborhood in the center of Hanyue City, according to that Virtual Future Paradise employee, this house was Jiang Ming’s own, and only he and that child lived here.
The cab stopped at the entrance of the district, the gate of the district was closed and the security guard was secretly playing with his cell phone.
It was hard to get in through the main gate, after getting out of the car Chen Ge directly carried his bag to the other side of the neighborhood, he sat on the street teeth and conjured up Men Nan.
”Block A, building three, fourth floor, you go over and take a look first, the target is a child about your age, he is deaf in both ears, called Jiang Ming, he should be one of the nine children chosen by the Underworld Fetus.” This kind of difficult task could only be left to Men Nan, he was flexible and red, he could move around casually at night and didn’t need a parasite, and his own strength was enough to cope with normal dangers.
”Shall I go alone? If that Underworld Fetus is really on him, won’t I be dead?” Men Nan’s head shook like a rattle.
”The Underworld Fetus will awaken after eight nights, I just want you to go to make sure and see if there is anything unusual about that kid and the place he lives.” Chen Ge quietly pointed to the surveillance next to the neighborhood: “There’s a surveillance dead zone on the left, if you find anything significant, I’ll rush there immediately.”
”I suspect you’re punking me.” Men Nan “cursed” and entered the neighborhood, while Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to watch him.
Ten minutes later, Men Nan, who had originally disappeared from Chen Ge’s line of sight, suddenly appeared, his small hands were cold, and blood was dancing on top of his red coat.
”You made a move with them? There are stern ghosts in that house?”
”There were no Lich Ghosts.” The shock in Men Nan’s eyes hadn’t dissipated yet, and he looked up at Chen Ge, “But there was a hidden door in that house, right next to that child’s bed.”
”There was a door next to that child’s bed?”
”Yes, there seems to be something else coming out from inside that door!” Men Nan was filled with disbelief, “When I got close, the door lock shook violently, and then something even weirder happened, the boy who was originally sleeping actually woke up! Didn’t you say that he is deaf in both ears?”
”Even if he has normal hearing, do you think an ordinary person could hear the sound the door made?” Chen Ge was also a little surprised.
