Chapter 1014 – The Private Hospital on the Street Corner
”This doesn’t care about him? You’re letting him stay here alone?” Chen Ge did not feel that leaving Wu Sheng alone in the hut was the best option.
”I’ll draw them away, I caused the incident, it has nothing to do with the child, I can’t let him suffer pain that he shouldn’t have to.” Wu Jinpeng closed the lid of the wooden box and ran towards the outside.
Chen Ge looked at Wu Jinpeng’s distant back and swept back at Wu Sheng.
The little guy was hiding in the crate, his hands covering his mouth, not saying a word, just silently gazing at Wu Jinpeng who ran out.
”Is this kid keeping quiet just because of his father’s instructions?” Chen Ge felt that he might have missed something: “Forget it, as long as we follow Wu Jinpeng closely, all problems will be solved.”
In Wu Sheng’s eyes, he was just a child hiding under his father’s shelter, he saw all the difficulties that the family was experiencing, but he was just a child and couldn’t do anything about it, he could only watch his father walk ahead and bear the enormous pressure alone.
Chen Ge was worried that running slowly would reveal Wu Sheng’s location, he didn’t dare to stay in the hut for too long, closed the worn wooden board door and chased towards Wu Jinpeng.
The night sky overhead was devoid of stars and moon, and the attics on both sides of the street emitted a faint stench, making people feel depressed and uncomfortable.
Wu Jinpeng rushed ahead, he didn’t know what would be in front of him, but he didn’t have any other choice, in order to not let his dog be treated as a stray dog again, in order to not let Wu Sheng become a stray, he could only run forward.
”In addition to representing the neighbors, the monster with its mouth sewn shut should also symbolize the various difficulties encountered in life.”
There were more and more monsters chasing after Wu Jinpeng, and they were dressed differently, including well-dressed urban white-collar workers, homeless people with tattered cotton-padded coats, thieves with hidden sharp knives, and many more dressed in ordinary clothes like passers-by they had never met in reality.
White eyes, dislike, and bullying, under the inducement of the Plutonic Fetus, evil was infinitely amplified.
Chen Ge didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if there was no Wu Jinpeng in Wu Sheng’s world.
How was a child that young going to face so many hideous and terrifying monsters, Chen Ge doubted that Wu Sheng would sink into this world of despair forever, becoming the most suitable candidate for the Underworld Fetus to parasitize.
”Fortunately, he has a great father, Wu Jinpeng is the only light in this dark world.”
Running wildly through the dark streets with no end in sight, being chased by monsters with their mouths sewn shut, with nowhere to hide and no way to escape, but even so Wu Jinpeng was still trying to buy time by all means.
”I’m afraid this is what makes people human.”
The Underworld Fetus lured the chosen children towards despair and opened illusory doors for them, but the world behind those children’s doors was different from the real world behind the doors, a ray of undying light existed in these children’s worlds even if they were desperate and in pain.
Jiang Ming’s world behind the door had the old lady and his mother guarding it, while Wu Sheng’s world behind the door had Wu Jinpeng, and there was always a harbor in their memories where they could dock a little.
Running behind Wu Jinpeng, Chen Ge slowly gained a deeper understanding of many things, he knew that there was a door in his haunted house as early as the time when he had just obtained his black cell phone, and at that time, he only had fear of the door, which was the inherent fear of humans of the unknown.
But as he learned more, Chen Ge’s view of the door continued to change.
The door was pushed open by the desperate, and the other side of the door was not a world of salvation, it was an abyss of even greater despair; the door was sinful and terrifying.
Chen Ge is initially reluctant to approach the door, but he is forced by the Weird Tales Society to approach the door when his life is threatened.
In his constant contact, he gradually realized that the door itself did not represent fear, much less could it be equated with despair.
He won’t be able to control the door and gain benefits from it like the Weird Tales Association, but he doesn’t hate the door so much in a subtle way.
In the middle of the Psychic Ghost School, Chen Ge meets the painter behind the door, the madman who wants to build a paradise behind the door and cultivate a tiny flower on the soil of despair.
The painter ultimately fails, but what he does shakes Chen Ge’s view of doors and the world behind them once again.
And the event that really made Chen Ge begin to reflect on this happened in the Jiangyuan neighborhood, when he saw his young self being pushed off a tall building by men in white coats, and when he heard the words he used to say, his view of doors really began to change.
”Maybe the world behind the door of the children is not that different from the real world behind the door, and the real world behind the door may also have light ……” Chen Ge looked at Wu Jinpeng who was running wildly, and the countless monsters chasing after him: “Children The light of the world behind the door is being chased by countless monsters, if the real world behind the real door also has light, then he will definitely be chased by something even more terrifying and dark.”
”What would the light in the world behind the door look like?” The figures of his parents flashed in his mind, and Chen Ge suddenly thought of an incident that happened a long time ago, and he took out the wooden toy that had been stolen by the Undertow from the compartment of his backpack.
”This toy was given to me by my father before he went to bed, and he gave me a happy birthday speech at that time, but during the day he had already given me a birthday gift and had already said happy birthday to me, there was no reason to say it again at night when I was fast asleep. And at that time, he didn’t hand me this gift, it was directly placed on the nightstand behind me.” Chen Ge recalled more details, “Could it be that this toy was originally given to Shadow?”
Looking at the bloodstained toy in his hand, Chen Ge slowed down, “This is a birthday gift for Shadow? Then the last Happy Birthday was also said to Shadow? Could it be that he had already discovered something by then, but neither Shadow nor I realized it.”
”Don’t gawk! Run!” Wu Jinpeng, who had already come up for air himself, saw Chen Ge slowing down and enthusiastically tugged on his sleeve: “Don’t stop! I know a place to get rid of them!”
Wu Jinpeng led Chen Ge to an intersection on West Street where there was a private hospital.
It wasn’t very large and was decorated in a very simple manner, but the sparrow was small and the facilities that should be here were all there.
”There’s a back door to the hospital, last time I dumped them here, those people didn’t dare to come in.”
”Monsters don’t dare to come in, doesn’t that indirectly mean that there are things more terrifying than them in this hospital?”
”Go in first and talk about it.”
Wu Jinpeng couldn’t help but lead Chen Ge into the hospital, and after those monsters saw them enter the hospital, they all stopped at the intersection.
After running into the hospital, all the various murmurs in Chen Ge’s ears disappeared, leaving only the sound of a child crying.
