Chapter 1099 – The First Employee to Wake Up

　　It was as if his brain shell had been struck by lightning, and cracks appeared in the ice of his memory as some images that had never appeared before flashed through Chen Ge’s mind.

　　”Underworld Fetus ……”

　　Two almost identical faces stared at the mirror at the same time, and they both saw another self in each other’s eyes.

　　Chen Ge’s body trembled more and more, his whole body was tingling, he was about to lose control from head to toe, his heart seemed to have been stomped on several times, and even breathing became an extremely difficult thing to do.

　　On the blurred mirror, the child with sunken eyes choked another child’s neck, he exerted a little bit of force, his eyes full of sin and despair held some other emotions, like sadness and pain.

　　”Chen Ge!”

　　Xiao Sun and Wen Qing finally noticed Chen Ge’s abnormalities, they both rushed into the bathroom and tried to assist Chen Ge, but Chen Ge’s condition did not improve at all.

　　Every nerve in his entire body had been taut, every muscle was trembling, blood was surging madly in his veins, and his brain kept flashing through all sorts of horrible, cruel images.

　　He had no memory of these newly appeared images, that is, he would instantly forget them after watching them.

　　He couldn’t recall the exact scenes in the images, but he knew that there were two children in the middle of all the images.

　　That was the memory of the Underworld Fetus, or rather that was the memory the two of them shared.

　　”Mirror, mirror …… “Gritting his teeth, Chen Ge’s brain was now blank, he couldn’t control his body at all, it seemed that just at this moment his body didn’t belong to him anymore.

　　The fingers gripping the edge of the sink slowly loosened, Chen Ge’s body tilted backwards as he looked at the faces of the two children in the mirror, and one last image emerged in his mind – three blood-red doors being pushed open at the same time in the pitch-black city!

　　”Splat!”

　　The shards of the mirror sliced through Chen Ge’s cheek, glass slivers splattered everywhere, and Chen Ge’s body fell heavily to the ground.

　　He slowly returned to normal as the mirror on the wall was smashed, and the faces of the two children could no longer be seen on the blurred mirror.

　　”Chen Ge!” Throwing away the wooden chair in her hands, Wen Qing squatted next to Chen Ge after smashing the mirror, “Is it better?”

　　”I can only say that I won’t die for a while.” Chen Ge lay on the ground, he wasn’t weak anymore, he could clearly feel that someone was competing with him for his body, “I’m also one of those nine children chosen by the Underworld Tire, what the Underworld Tire wants to take away from me should be the body.”

　　In the past, he hadn’t felt this strongly when he helped the other children’s, but now that it was his own turn, he realized how painful this feeling of being forcibly deprived was.

　　The building was still shaking, strange noises kept coming from the neighborhood, the black fog had escaped to the top floor, and the situation had reached its most critical moment.

　　”I’ll help you up.” Xiao Sun carried Chen Ge to the bed, Wen Qing went to pick up Chen Ge’s backpack that fell on the ground, just as she touched the backpack, her body was yanked to the side by an invisible force, a scene that both Chen Ge and Xiao Sun saw.

　　”What do you have in this bag?” Xiao Sun lifted the backpack, he was kindly trying to return it to Chen Ge, but as soon as his hand touched the backpack, a line of bright red blood crawled up his arm, seemingly ready to strangle his body and soul all together.

　　”Don’t be impulsive!” Chen Ge shouted with all his strength, “Give me the bag.”

　　Xiao Sun was terrified, how could he dare to keep holding onto the backpack, and hurriedly placed both the backpack and the skull crushing hammer by Chen Ge’s side.

　　”Brother, your bag seems to be bleeding.” Xiao Sun didn’t dare to ask more questions and honestly stood beside the bed, gripping the bed board with both hands to prevent himself from falling.

　　There were people exchanging blows in the neighborhood, the building seemed to have been hit by something, and it was hard for the people inside the building to stand still without holding onto something.

　　”Why do I get the feeling this place is going to collapse at any moment? Why don’t you two say something?” Xiao Sun looked at the pale Wen Qing and the paralyzed Chen Ge, he didn’t think that he would one day become the core of the team, “Looks like we can only rely on me now!”

　　Chen Ge didn’t pay attention to Xiao Sun, he put his hand on his backpack with all his strength, when his fingertips touched the backpack, his heart slowly calmed down.

　　A gentle blood color wrapped around his arm, Chen Ge’s body gained some more strength, but his body temperature was dropping.

　　”It’s the red-clothed employee who’s helping me?”

　　The Stygian Fetus wanted to take Chen Ge’s body, and Chen Ge would never be able to fight against the Stygian Fetus on his own, but adding the employees was a completely different story.

　　Although the employees in red were still bound by the rules of the world behind the door and were unable to exert their full power, the Plutonic Tire wasn’t at its peak either, and it was physically spread out into multiple parts to maintain the stability behind the door as well as deal with other outsiders.

　　As his body regained consciousness, Chen Ge realized that as the cracks on the building became more and more numerous, the world behind the door became less and less bound to its employees.

　　All things have positives and negatives, losing the ragdoll head shelter, the black mist began to enter the second building of the Jiu Hong neighborhood.

　　But likewise, without the Ragdoll Head suppressing it, the impact on Chen Ge’s employees gradually became smaller.

　　Reaching into his backpack, Chen Ge pressed the switch on the repeater, and the tape spun, but there was no rustling current sound.

　　He took out the blood-soaked comic book again and flipped through it page by page, eventually getting a response when he reached Boo’s page.

　　The blood threads wrapped around his hand like a leaping blood sprite, and what should have been a horrifying image was unexpectedly heartwarming.

　　”It’s Boo who’s helping me.” Xiao Bu was very strong, but the fact that she was able to help Chen Ge without completely breaking through the boundaries of the world behind the door made Chen Ge slightly surprised, “My parents had made a pact with Boo, wanting to make Boo my shadow, could it be that they were eyeing some kind of special ability in Boo?”

　　According to Chen Ge’s parents’ plan, the one accompanying Chen Ge at this time should be Xiao Bu, but everything has its accidents, and Zhang Ya’s appearance should be something that no one expected.

　　Putting down the comic book, Chen Ge looked at the other items in his backpack, Zhang Ya’s storybook was still the same as before, the ballpoint pen and some small props had not changed.

　　”It seems like one item is missing?”

　　Chen Ge’s expression did not change as his hand continued to reach deeper into the backpack.

　　At the innermost part of the backpack, Chen Ge touched the pair of red high-heeled shoes.

　　The shoes were wet, as if they had just been taken out of the blood.

　　The red high heels seemed to be on the verge of breaking through the rules behind the door?

　　Holding down the excitement in his heart, Chen Ge didn’t say a single word as he maintained his posture and didn’t take a second glance towards his backpack.

　　The high-heeled shoes were hidden at the bottom of all the items, silently breaking through as if they were hiding from anyone.

　　The body of the Underworld Fetus was in Xiang Nuan’s world behind the door, in other words, this world behind the door was shared by the Underworld Fetus and Xiang Nuan, because of the intervention of the Fierce God, this world behind the door was very restrictive for the other red coats, but there was one “person” that was an exception.

　　The red high heels had swallowed all the curses behind the first few doors of the fetus, and from the point of curses alone, the red high heels were the closest to the fetus, and the red clothes that knew the fetus the most.

　　She might have discovered the existence of the Underworld Tire, so she didn’t want to expose it.

　　The red high-heeled shoes were hidden in the depths of the backpack, and Chen Ge instantly understood, surprised in his heart, but his facial expression did not change at all.

　　One person and one ghost didn’t even need to communicate and managed to match perfectly.

　　Taking a breath, Chen Ge leaned against the wall and silently contemplated.

　　After seeing that child just now, many memories that didn’t belong to him appeared in Chen Ge’s mind, most of the images of which flashed by and weren’t clear at all, and he only remembered the last scene in his mind right now.

　　”Why do three bloody doors always appear in my memories?”

　　Chen Ge did some math, there was a door in the Jiangyuan neighborhood, that should be the door that appeared the earliest in the entire Hanyue River, that door was most likely pushed open by Chen Ge when he was a child, this was the first door.

　　The second door was the black iron door that the Underworld Fetus pushed open in the Cursed Hospital, emitting a strong odor of disinfectant, among the Cursed Hospital. The Stygian Fetus was Chen Ge’s shadow, and the door he pushed open barely counted as Chen Ge.

　　The third door related to Chen Ge was the door in the bathroom of the House of Horrors.

　　This third door had been with Chen Ge and acted the most ordinary, but in actuality it was probably the scariest door; after all, it had scared even Dr. Gao.

　　The building was shaking more and more obviously, but Chen Ge and Wen Qing seemed as if they couldn’t feel it, both thinking about their own things, except for Xiao Sun who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

　　He, the resident behind the door, behaved most like a normal person: “Should we consider leaving? When an earthquake occurs everyone runs to open places, I haven’t heard that the more powerful the quake is the more you hide in higher places.”

　　Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Xiao Sun ran to Wen Qing’s side: “Are you sure you want to hide here all the time?”

　　Wen Qing did not answer immediately and glanced at Chen Ge on the bed, “Let’s wait for him to recover some more, it’s too dangerous to leave now.”

　　Xiao Sun still wanted to say something, but just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the iron door of the living room.

　　That sound was hard to describe, as if a centipede had crawled through, its fine step feet rubbing against the steel, and the rustling sound made one’s scalp go numb.

　　”Stay away from the door!”

　　Chen Ge was having trouble even walking right now, and the best thing to do was to stay in the room until the staff woke up.

　　The sound coming from the door panel became clearer and clearer, and both Xiao Sun and Wen Qing moved backward.

　　No one spoke anymore in the room, it was very quiet and everyone held their breath.

　　The rustling sound hovered near the iron door and finally stopped as if it had finally determined something.

　　”It seems to have found us.” Xiao Sun covered his mouth, his eyes filled with panic, the unknown is always the most terrifying.

　　Thin black mist penetrated through the doorway, the outside of the building was very chaotic, but the corridors inside the building were quiet.

　　”Is it gone?” Xiao Sun held onto the wall and was about to head towards the door of the living room room when the doorknob suddenly shook violently.

　　”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

　　Something continuously hit the iron door, and a large amount of black mist began to penetrate into the house!

　　”The windows on the top floor are all cemented shut, this floor is completely closed, and the only way out is the living room door.” Chen Ge’s brain raced, they were now blocked in this house.

　　”Chen Ge! What do we do?”

　　”Don’t keep asking me! I’m like this, what else can I do?” Chen Ge had a bitter smile on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly calm as he took his backpack and grabbed the red high heels in the bag with his palm.

　　The high heels hidden in the bag were filled with blood, staining Chen Ge’s hand red, but Chen Ge didn’t care at all.

　　If you looked closely, you could see that the black lines on the heels were burrowing into Chen Ge’s body, and these black lines weren’t hurting him, but rather searching for something in his body.

　　With the backpack blocking the line of sight, not a single person in the room noticed Chen Ge’s small movements.

　　The door handle kept shaking as the door of the room was slammed, and the rustling sound became more and more ear-piercing.

　　After half a minute, the iron door began to deform, and the gap between the door panel and the door frame gradually became larger.

　　Black mist drifted inside the room, Chen Ge and the three of them watched as the iron door was pried open little by little, and a face full of wounds appeared at the ever-widening gap, they were strung out like centipedes, all of them laying there at the door gap, desperately trying to squeeze into the room.

　　”The doors and windows are all sealed! It’s finished! It’s over!” Xiao Sun stepped forward at the critical moment, he pushed all the things he could move in the house to the iron door there, “You two think of something too!”

　　Pushing the furniture behind the door with both hands, Xiao Sun wanted to support himself for a little longer, but he didn’t have as good a mental quality as Chen Ge after all, and after getting close to those heads, his calves began to tremble, and he couldn’t use his strength at all.

　　The rustling sound came again, this time Xiao Sun could see clearly, that sound was from the human heads, pure black silk threads were constantly sticking out from among their seven orifices, these silk threads connected them into a whole, they were also using these silk threads to crawl on the walls and ceilings.

　　”If you can’t hold on, you and Wen Qing should hide in the bedroom first, and when that monster starts attacking me, you two can come out and escape through the living room door.” Chen Ge wanted to use his body as bait, and at the same time, he was trying to prove something.

　　”No way!” Wen Qing and Xiao Sun spoke in unison, neither of these two were willing to leave Chen Ge to escape alone.

　　”Do as I say! Or everyone will die!” As soon as Chen Ge’s words fell, the closet blocking the back of the door was pushed over and the black iron door was opened!

　　”Quickly duck!”

　　Wen Qing and Xiao Sun retreated to the side as the monster, which consisted of a dozen or so human heads, burrowed into the house and crawled on the roof.

　　”Go!”

　　The black mist surged into the living room, and the way out was right in front of them.

　　Neither Wen Qing nor Xiao Sun moved, but in the very next moment, Wen Qing’s hand was taken, and that invisible force forcefully pulled Wen Qing towards the corridor.

　　”Little Sun! Take care of her! I can’t run away anymore! You can’t die for nothing!” Chen Ge shouted, and the monster’s attention was all focused on Chen Ge.

　　Xiao Sun wanted to muster up the courage to stay, but his legs went weak when he saw the monster’s terrifying appearance, and he felt like he was going to suffocate just by looking at it.

　　Stepping backward, instinct drove him away from the monster.

　　”Go!”

　　Only after Xiao Sun and Wen Qing both left did Chen Ge breathe a sigh of relief as he sat on the edge of the bed, tilting his head back to look at the horrifying monster while his mouth said words that had nothing to do with the monster at all.

　　”After Wen Qing left, the power that the red high heels feared disappeared, and that child who pulled Wen Qing away from anyone who could not see it, was it the Underworld Fetus? Or was it Xiang Nuan?”

　　”Or maybe the two have merged into one? Unable to separate until they find a new body?”
