Chapter 1049 – Zhang Ya in Red
All the illusions have faded away, and this town is just a nightmare used to imprison Yu Jian.
In this nightmare, Yu saw was wrapped in a thick shell, and the fetus became his closest mother.
Perhaps Plutonic Fetus wanted to make Yu see understand himself in this way, to understand his own good intentions, after all, they used to share the same outlook, both are “monsters” that emit malice from the bottom of their hearts.
But one day, Yu See met the teacher who changed his life, and he began to disobey the words of the Undertow and rebel against its orders.
Chen Ge looked at Yu See, who was locked in Du Ming’s body, and all of his problems were all figured out.
He was glad that he didn’t resort to violence right off the bat, if he had gone against his principles and destroyed the town recklessly, then he would probably become a bargaining chip for the Underworld Tire to convince Yu See.
The Underworld Tire would definitely tell Yu See that it was normal for the devil to live in everyone’s heart, that all people would do such things, and that there was no need to do what that female teacher said.
Once he let the Underworld Tire succeed in convincing Yu See, when the time came, Chen Ge would not only have to face the Underworld Tire, he would also be targeted by Yu See.
”The worst case scenario didn’t occur, and my patience has been rewarded.” Chen Ge had taught Yu See a lesson with his practical actions, if Yu See’s encounter with that teacher was a beam of light in his life that allowed him to see the real world outside the fog, then Chen Ge was a pair of hands that grabbed him and tried to yank him out of the quagmire.
In the end, the Underworld Fetus did not gain Yu See’s approval, and everything he gave instead caused Yu See to rebel even more fiercely.
With black cursed threads surging throughout his body, Underworld Tire was unable to comprehend it, and resentment slowly began to appear in his eyes as he looked at Yu See.
”I’ve been so good to you, helping you with all my heart, and yet you treat me like this?” That baby face twisted and distorted, the hatred in Underworld Fetus’s heart reached the extreme, he couldn’t comprehend that he had obviously given so much, why did the result always turn out to be like this?
Those words that he kept telling seemed to have been said to someone once. He repeated it over and over again, and the aura on his body became more and more terrifying, soon surpassing the ordinary red clothes.
”This guy can’t be a real Underworld Fetus, right? It’s hiding behind this door?” Chen Ge didn’t have a clue in his heart, he himself was very unlucky, but that meant under normal circumstances, under certain abnormal and special circumstances, like when drawing rewards, he always had an uneasy relationship with the severe ghosts and red clothes.
Yu See was unconscious and wrapped in layers of curses, Chen Ge had no way to get him out, and leaving him alone might lead to accidents.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ge took out the comic book from his backpack, regardless of whether the medieval fetus in front of him was real or not, he decided to settle the other party here.
This time, immersed in the middle of the world behind the door, his mental state had reached its limit, his eyes were red and on the verge of collapse.
”It’s time to end it.”
Flipping through the comic book, Chen Ge called out the names of his employees, and a tide of blood seemed to surge through the blood-stained comic book, and a pungent smell of blood hardened over the rich stench in the room.
The red-robed ghost and the most vicious curse went toe-to-toe in the office, two forces that were horrifying and frightening to the eyes of the common man colliding with each other.
”Du Ming’s mom is much stronger than that woman in Wu Sheng’s world, not even on the same level.”
It was impossible to hide in the narrow space, and as a blood-red figure appeared, this bizarre world was colored with a shocking red.
Blood flowed horizontally as a pair of pale hands pierced through the curse-woven cage and grabbed Yu See out of it.
”Xu Yin, Old Bai, you two stay by my side, don’t go over for now.”
It took a full ten days of calling out for the barriers of the world behind the door to be broken, and with the employees appearing, this false world couldn’t exist for much longer.
The scene that had been woven with the memories of Chen Ge, Underworld Fetus, and Yu See was about to collapse, and Chen Ge was going to personally destroy this dream of his.
”You two go ahead and test it out.” Chen Ge called out the costumed red clothes he had found in the Virtual Future Paradise and the water ghost red clothes from Jiang Yuan’s neighborhood.
They had been held back for a long time, and it was rare for them to come out, but they didn’t expect that the first thing they saw was the Underworld Fetus that was continuously blackening, and the rapidly climbing terrifying aura made the two red coats feel a great deal of pressure.
”The snail behind Jiang Ming’s door possesses a hard shell, it took ten redcoats to join hands to open it; the faceless woman behind Wu Sheng’s door is able to manipulate blood and water, and can use her mind nine times; that medfly behind Fang Yu’s door is very calm, and can manipulate curses and set up traps; the medflies behind each door possess different abilities, and the ability of this guy in front of me is unknown, so let’s first use the Costume Redcoat and the Water Ghost Redcoat to try and find out what’s It’s better.”
Chen Ge was very cautious, he had lasted behind the door for so long and would never allow himself to have problems at the last minute.
”Boo, watch the timing and be ready to strike!”
Among these red clothes around Chen Ge, the strongest one right now was Xiao Bu.
This little girl hadn’t exerted her full strength since she became the real gate pusher of Liwan Town.
All of the red-robed all appeared, and Chen Ge could only briefly explain a few things when they hadn’t made a move.
The fight between the red-clothed stern ghosts was incomparably bloody and cruel, all of them were entangled in extremely deep grievances, unless they were crushed by absolute power, as long as they started to fight, it would be a never-ending situation, and no one would be able to pull them apart.
Except of course for a very sensible redcoat like Men Nan, who was considered an anomaly.
The Water Ghost Red Clothes and the Costume Red Clothes appeared in front of Du Ming’s mother with a stiff upper lip, the two of them had to go on, there was no more choice other than that.
Costume Red Clothes was fine, she herself was full of hatred towards the Underworld Tire, and it was the Underworld Tire that had forcibly occupied her shrine in the first place.
Water Demon Redcoat, on the other hand, even had the idea of defecting to the enemy, which was completely different from what he had thought at the very beginning, “Chen Ge, it seems like our agreement doesn’t include fighting with other redcoats, right?”
He wanted to struggle a bit, after all, the Underworld Tire pretending to be Du Ming’s mother brought him a very dangerous feeling.
”This is the agreement between us, didn’t you ask me to help you find the door pusher for that door in the Jiangyuan neighborhood? The Underworld Tire is the door pusher, as long as you kill him, you will be the owner of that door.” Chen Ge didn’t lie, at least he didn’t feel that he had said a single false word.
”What we agreed was to kill the door pusher together!” The water ghost Redcoat was very strong in the water, here he couldn’t utilize his abilities at all, and soon his body was scratched by the curse, “Help me! Help me!”
”What others give is called charity, what you fight for yourself is called dignity.” Chen Ge’s eyes stared tightly at Water Demon Redcoat as the threads of the curse entered Water Demon Redcoat’s body along the wounds and crawled towards his heart.
He gradually lost his mind, all the negative emotions in his heart were triggered, and if he continued like this he would become a collection of grievances that could not be communicated.
There were no more emotions other than hatred, abhorrence and killing.
”The Underworld Fetus behind this door can actually erode obsessions with curses? Pollute the hearts of the red clothes?”
The hearts of the red clothes were the root of their existence, the crystallization of the obsessions that had coalesced into them, and Chen Ge did not expect the curse of this Underworld Fetus to be so terrifying.
”Quick battle! Go together! Be careful not to get hurt by it!”
After figuring out the ability, Chen Ge didn’t dare to hold back.
The Underworld Tire’s curse was too terrifying to possess such an ability, and if the Underworld Tire was allowed to drag through the very first period of time, when the curse kicked in, then Chen Ge and his group’s numerical advantage would be gone.
The red-clothed stern ghosts with tainted hearts would tear apart everything they saw in front of them, no matter if it was their former coworkers or Chen Ge, the owner of the House of Horrors.
”Now that I’ve tested out several of the Underworld Tire’s abilities, the more I get to know him, the more terrifying he becomes.”
All the red coats did not hide their strength and struck out with all their might, the Underworld Tire’s body instantly became crippled, he was no longer humanoid, but he still did not disappear.
The black threads hidden in all parts of the world behind the door continued to pour into his body, in helping him recover quickly.
”Yu See’s World Behind the Gate is helping him?” Chen Ge knew that he couldn’t drag this out, he grabbed the shoulders of the boy on the ground, “Yu See, can you hear my voice? Your persistence has paid off, I’ve come to take you home!”
”Wake up! The mother in your heart is a medieval fetus clowning into existence, it’s not your real mother!”
”Are you really dead to this world? Don’t you want to see your teacher again? There are many others like her in this world, the Plutonic Fetus has only shown you the darkest side, in reality at all times there is darkness because there is light!”
Seemingly hearing the word teacher, Yu See’s eyes blinked for a moment, and his brows slowly furrowed as if he was dreaming of something bad.
”Yu See, if you really feel like you’ve met love, then don’t sink behind the door, don’t let her be sad, and use all your strength to make yourself change.” Chen Ge picked Yu See up and smashed his face hard, “Cheer up! Maybe she’s waiting for you too!”
The sunken flesh slowly recovered, Yu See’s eyelids fluttered a few times, followed by him slowly opening his eyes.
Chen Ge picked up the cell phone on the ground and placed the picture on the screen in front of Yu See’s eyes, “Live seriously, step out of the past, and meet her if you have the chance.”
The confused eyes slowly came into focus, one thing that had happened surfaced in his mind, Yu see held the cell phone with both hands whose screen was shattered, and his expression was no longer numb.
Chen Ge took off his jacket and draped it over Yu See, this child had a strong sense of self-esteem, he was in the world behind the door yet he was not wearing anything, this might also represent some kind of mental state he once had.
”The Underworld Fetus is resting on your body, constantly luring you towards the abyss, he blocks all the light and only lets you see darkness and despair, fortunately you finally met that teacher.”
”Teacher Zhang ……,” Yu See’s eyes had a little bit of light, the connection between the Underworld Fetus and the world behind the door kept getting weaker, he could no longer get power from Yu See’s world.
”Yu See!” The Underworld Tire’s body was crippled and covered in wounds as it screamed in a hideous manner, “The person who accompanied you when you were at your loneliest was me! It was I who was by your side when your father abandoned you and your mother blamed you! I was the one who protected you when the adults argued and raged and fought to get rid of ‘love’!”
A piercing voice came from the mouth of the Plutonic Fetus as he stopped pretending to be Du Ming’s mother and talked about all the things that had happened to him while he was parasitized in Yuimi’s body.
It seems that Yumi is an illegitimate child, his mother loves a married man, his parents’ disputes, the gossip between neighbors, all these reasons lead to Yumi’s perception of “love” is distorted from the very beginning, coupled with the deliberate guidance of the Plutonic Foetus, Yumi gradually lost the ability to love.
”He wasn’t protecting you, he just wanted you to become his tool, a machine that doesn’t know how to love.” Chen Ge shielded Yu See behind her, “If you still have memories of the time after I entered the gate, you can think back to what love is, and how to truly love someone.”
Underworld Fetus could no longer get help from Yu See’s world behind the door, at this moment, he looked hideous and maniacal, compared to his physical injuries, he was more annoyed with Yu See’s attitude towards him.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the Underworld Fetus, Yu See tensed his mouth, his hand slowly raised, and eventually slowly lowered again.
”Yu See, Yu See!” Underworld Fetus’s body was completely torn apart by the ten red clothes, all the black silk threads were drowned by blood, Underworld Fetus’s impersonation of Du Ming’s mother disappeared, and all that was left on the ground was a watercolor painting hand-painted by a child.
A family of three stood happily in front of the haunted house, the sky was painted with a fiery red sun, green trees were planted along the roadside, the family wore brightly colored clothes, and the haunted house behind the three of them also used various colors.
This painting was drawn by Chen Ge when he was a child, with his name written crookedly on the side, this seemed to be the homework assigned by the teacher at that time, to draw a picture with the title of home.
”This painting is in the hands of the Underworld Tire?” The painting in front of him was ordinary, Chen Ge looked at it for a while before realizing the abnormality, there was an extra part of the painting that was not in his memory.
A family of three stood happily in front of a haunted house, the sky was illuminated by the fiery red sun, and behind the little man who represented Chen Ge, someone had added a small extra shadow.
”Shadow?”
Chen Ge put the painting away in his backpack, assisted Yu See, and walked out of the office accompanied by the red-clothed employee.
”It’s time to leave.”
The town had been completely disfigured, the beautiful dream had woken up, Chen Ge stared blankly out of the window, seemingly searching for the figure of a person.
The streets were covered with cracks, the rainstorm poured down, and the world behind this door was about to collapse.
Chen Ge eventually did not see the figure as he walked to the black iron door of the school’s equipment room.
Just as he was about to push open that iron door with the red-clothed employee, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Ge didn’t hesitate to immediately pick up the phone, he placed the phone to his ear and held his breath.
A few moments later, Zhang Ya’s voice came from the other side of the phone, “Teacher promised to tell you when you leave, Chen Ge ……”
”Where are you?” Chen Ge took the cell phone and ran to the window, “I’ll go find you!”
Without an umbrella, Chen Ge rushed into the middle of the rainstorm with his backpack and cell phone in hand, he ran wildly through the cracked streets, through the world that was about to collapse, and finally saw the slightly lonely figure at the intersection of the town.
Zhang Ya stood on the side of the road holding a red umbrella, the phone in her hand still hanging up.
Panting heavily, Chen Ge was already drenched in rainwater.
”I didn’t want to call you for fear of affecting your studies, but when I really made up my mind to leave, I kind of couldn’t control myself.” Zhang Ya raised the red umbrella over Chen Ge’s head and stood quietly in front of him, “Can you forgive me for being selfish?”
The gray town began to tilt, and black cracks tore through the entire world.
Chen Ge didn’t bother to answer Zhang Ya’s question, for the first time, he looked at Zhang Ya from such a close distance, “If that incident in the dance studio hadn’t happened, if we weren’t teachers and students, if you were just Zhang Ya, and I was just Chen Ge, how nice it would have been.”
Hearing Chen Ge’s words, Zhang Ya didn’t say anything, she took another step forward, stood on her tiptoes, and gently leaned on Chen Ge.
Hands raised, Zhang Ya whispered in Chen Ge’s ear, “Hold me tight.”
Under the blood-red umbrella, Zhang Ya’s body had already become illusory before Chen Ge’s arms fell.
The red umbrella fell to the ground, and there was nothing in Chen Ge’s arms as he stood silently in the middle of the rainstorm.
The world behind the door collapsed and sank, and the red-robed employees brought Yu See and Chen Ge to the iron door, pushing it open with their combined efforts.
Just as they left the world behind the door, a few drops of blood-red rain fell on Chen Ge’s backpack, penetrated it, and finally stained Zhang Ya’s book red.
……
Stepping out of the iron door, the world spun around, and Chen Ge fell down to Yuimi’s bedroom in one fell swoop.
His eyes were red and he couldn’t care about anything, so he directly opened his backpack and took out Zhang Ya’s bedtime story book.
Flipping backward page by page, Chen Ge flipped all the way to the last page.
”On *Year*, *Month*, I had a dream that I became a teacher and he became my student.”
”I dreamed that I was going home with him under an umbrella, I dreamed that we were waiting for the bus at the platform together, I dreamed that we were cooking and living together.”
”I also dreamed that I hugged him and he hugged me tightly.”
