Chapter 1148 – Innocent Citizen Chen

　　The eyeball given by Chang Wenyu was not appropriate to put anywhere, Chen Ge thought about it and gave that eyeball to Men Nan.

　　Among all the red coats, Men Nan had the highest IQ and intelligence, and Chen Ge would sometimes let him take charge of things alone.

　　So he was relieved that Men Nan was keeping that eyeball for the time being.

　　”Chang Wenyu is at her weakest right now, she doesn’t dare to stay by my side for too long and just leaves when she finds an opportunity, it seems like she doesn’t completely trust me yet and is worried that I’ll let the other Red Clothes swallow her up.”

　　Trust was something that needed to be built slowly, Chen Ge felt that as long as he gave himself enough time, he would definitely be able to gain Chang Wenyu’s trust.

　　The sky had already dawned, but Chen Ge didn’t leave, he wandered around this ruined school for a while longer.

　　”The red coats in this ruined school and the red coats in the pagoda are both much stronger than ordinary red coats, but there are no ‘doors’ appearing in the scenes they’re in, is it because their desperation isn’t enough to push the doors open?”

　　There was no necessary connection between the red coats and the doors; the door pusher must be a red coat, but the red coats did not always possess their own doors.

　　Chen Ge hadn’t cared, but now that he thought back, he felt that something was wrong.

　　”Could the door be unique to Hanyue?”

　　Entering the classroom where the Abandoned School Redcoat had first appeared, Chen Ge saw that familiar phrase again on the table where the Abandoned School Redcoat had once been.

　　”This is a sick world, why haven’t you realized it yet? I must cure you!”

　　The words were carved crookedly on the table, and they kept appearing before Chen Ge’s eyes like some sort of psychological suggestion.

　　Over time, Chen Ge could no longer forget this sentence.

　　”The same sentence, but the handwriting is all different, it was written and engraved by different people, but why did they all leave this sentence?”

　　Unable to think straight, Chen Ge put away the haunted house employees and took a taxi back to Nightmare Academy.

　　”I’m going to take a nap, you guys go ahead and get busy.” Chen Ge greeted the employees before entering the principal’s office.

　　Eatren had been staying in the room and was very bored as he was building a tower with playing cards.

　　”A few more days and you’ll be safe.” Chen Ge entered the cubicle hugged his backpack and fell asleep, not having to worry about the haunted house or the tourists, he had a good sleep.

　　At twelve noon, Chen Ge got up and bought himself and the living staff a meal before leaving the haunted house again.

　　Xinhai was an unexplored treasure land for him, and he couldn’t wait to get rid of all the severe ghosts and red clothes in one go.

　　”Once we’ve settled the cursed hospital, should I take the train to various cities to deliver goodwill?”

　　Of course, this idea Chen Ge was just thinking about it.

　　Using the time during the day to organize the clues and information, Chen Ge was prepared to wait until after dark to explore on the ground.

　　Before having a head-on conflict with the cursed hospital, he had to do everything he could to strengthen his side.

　　At around 6:00 PM, the employees were still discussing the future plans of the Nightmare Academy Haunted House, and Chen Ge, as the boss, had already run to the outskirts of Xinhai.

　　It was another sleepless night, Chen Ge had been prepared to prioritize feeding the red clothes he found to the red high heels to help her become a Fierce God.

　　But she rejected Chen Ge’s good intentions, as a curse type top red coat, swallowing other red coats would not improve her in any way, only swallowing more desperate and evil curses could help her.

　　In other words, Red High Heels herself knew very well that the opportunity for her to become a Fierce God was in the middle of the Cursed Hospital.

　　Red High Heels didn’t need to devour Red Clothes, and Chen Ge was again prepared to tilt his resources towards Boo.

　　Boo, who was able to exert top-notch red-robed strength behind the door, was extremely talented in her own right; she was the shadow chosen by Chen Ge’s parents, and the most valued door pusher of the Underworld Fetus.

　　After devouring a Redcoat, Xiao Bu fell into a deep sleep.

　　With her strength, she should be able to awaken in one night at most.

　　While Boo was sleeping, Chen Ge gave the red clothes he found to Xu Yin.

　　Xu Yin was not as strong as the son of the tunneling female ghost, nor was he the strongest among the red clothes, but Xu Yin’s heart of red clothes was very special.

　　Every time it beat, more black lines would appear above his heart, and the lines seemed to be imprints of memories that contained an indescribable power.

　　The hearts of the other redcoats were like sources of power, but Xu Yin’s heart was like a seed that was sprouting.

　　After swallowing a Redcoat, the lines on Xu Yin’s heart spread to her chest, and what Chen Ge found even more surprising was that Xu Yin still didn’t fall into a deep sleep even after swallowing a Redcoat whose strength was comparable to his own.

　　As long as Chen Ge pressed the switch on the repeater, Xu Yin would appear.

　　”Boo and Zhang Ya, swallowing a Redcoat of the same level would all fall into slumber, so why is Xu Yin so special?”

　　Chen Ge tried to ask why, Xu Yin didn’t say a word, as if he himself didn’t know why.

　　By three in the morning, Chen Ge had already explored eleven Weird Tales, and he had organized the information during the day and worked out the shortest route.

　　Just as he was preparing to go to the twelve weird talks, the sky in the far outskirts of Xinhai was inexplicably colored red, as if the night had been torn open with a bloody gash.

　　Originally, Chen Ge hadn’t taken this vision to heart, but when he used the wedding ring on his finger and realized that the location where Little Sun was was just below that night curtain, he was a bit nonplussed.

　　”Brother Sun did it so quickly? I’ve only sent it to him for two days, will it be exposed if I rush it?”

　　Little Sun’s pace was too fast, Chen Ge himself was still developing, and the cursed hospital seemed to be in trouble already.

　　”It’s useless to worry, I’d better do my own thing first.” The population of Xinhai was several times that of Hanjiang, and the number of strange stories was also very high, but most of the strange stories were fabricated, and only a few of them really hid severe ghosts.

　　For a professional like Chen Ge, sometimes one could tell the truth from just the description of a weird story.

　　But even so, Chen Ge had been tricked several times.

　　In two nights, he had explored a total of twenty-five strange stories, eight of which were false.

　　However, among the remaining seventeen Weird Tales, a total of five Red Clothes had appeared, and this probability was a bit scary.

　　What made Chen Ge even more worried was that the five Redcoats he encountered were all in a frenzied state, each one of them had been cursed, and the phrase “The world is sick” could be found in the scene where each one of them was located.

　　Now Chen Ge even felt that the phrase itself might be a curse, and all the redcoats, ghosts, and people who had gotten their hands on that phrase had all lost their sanity.

　　After two nights of hard work, Chen Ge was also quite satisfied with his harvest.

　　Of the five cursed frenzied red clothes, two of them were used to awaken Chang Wenyu, one was fed to Boo, and the remaining two Chen Ge gave to Xu Yin.

　　As she continued to devour the red clothes, the changes on Xu Yin’s body became more and more obvious, the black lines spreading out from her heart seemed to stick to her skin as if it was a second piece of clothing, bringing about a feeling of extreme danger.

　　Among all the employees, other than Xu Yin, there was another employee who had changed greatly, and that was Zhang Yi.

　　For an extremely special stern spirit like him to become a red coat by swallowing red coats, it would seriously affect his natural ability and the loss would outweigh the gain.

　　Therefore, Chen Ge did not let Zhang Yi devour the red clothes, but instead gave him the half-bodied red clothes he encountered.

　　Before swallowing the two half-bodied redcoats, Zhang Yi asked Chen Ge to dial Fang Yu’s phone number, then he held the phone and talked to Fang Yu for a long time.

　　This was the first time he had taken the initiative to chat with Fang Yu, traveling through life, death, memories, and the past.

　　Chen Ge didn’t know what Zhang Yi and Fang Yu had talked about, he just saw Zhang Yi’s body keep becoming illusory, and just as he was about to dissipate, a drop of blood gushed out from his heart.

　　Zhang Yi’s ability was to erase memories, but he couldn’t restore memories that had already been erased.

　　Fortunately though, although Fang Yu had forgotten all the memories about Zhang Yi, she had not forgotten the feeling that Zhang Yi had once existed.

　　She stubbornly waited for ten years in that park, tattooing Fang Yu’s name all over her body, and she used everything she had not to let go and finally touched the person she had been waiting for.

　　Zhang Yi saved Fang Yu more than ten years ago, and more than ten years later, Fang Yu became Zhang Yi’s salvation.

　　After devouring the two halves of the red dress, Zhang Yi fell into a deep sleep, and the drop of blood in his heart was slowly spreading, eventually forming a name that was branded into his heart.

　　Fang Yu tattooed a name all over his body, and Zhang Yi engraved a name in his heart, crossing the distance between life and death, they chose to remember each other in this way.

　　”When Zhang Yi awakens, he should be a red coat, and his natural ability will definitely be strengthened again, and perhaps a new ability will arise.” Zhang Yi’s talent was powerful, and Chen Ge was very excited about it.

　　Thinking of this, he helplessly swept another glance at the comic book.

　　Dainian was still hiding in the blank pages, not listening to anything outside the window and focusing on drawing his own comics.

　　The first thing that came to Chen Ge’s mind after he grabbed the cursed half of the red dress was Yan Dainian.

　　He let the red high heels control the half-body red dress, put that half-body red dress and Yan Dainian on the same page of the comic book, and then let everyone did not expect what happened.

　　Both sides, one shrinking in the corner, one lying on the wall, the picture is surprisingly still somewhat harmonious.

　　Yan Dainian has never harmed anyone after death, and has never swallowed a severe ghost, and he himself is very resistant to this matter.

　　Chen Ge painstakingly do ideological work, but Yan Dainian still can not take that step, finally Chen Ge had to give up.

　　After the death of the old principal of the Mureyang Middle School, he also did not swallow a ghost, but he became a half-body red, which can also be seen, there are many ways to enhance the strength of the ghosts, is not limited to swallowing other ghosts, only compared to other methods, swallowing ghosts more quickly.

　　In fact, Chen Ge also found that Yan Dainian followed himself for a few months, the breath emanating from his body is also increasing, just Yan Dainian is too disheveled and unconfident, almost never leave the comic book, so very few people have noticed his changes only.

　　He guessed that Yan Dainian’s body breath enhancement was most likely related to his own daily stuffing of various red clothes into the comic book.

　　Any ordinary item that has nearly ten red clothes living in it every day, then it will also become uncommon.

　　The comic book was originally Yan Dainian’s host, and now every page in it was stuffed with all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and over time, Yan Dainian’s strength was inexplicably boosted.

　　Chen Ge could sense that Yan Dainian’s strength was increasing, but this speed was too slow, he was about to go to the cursed hospital, and he had to make Yan Dainian a red coat as soon as possible before he could do so.

　　His expectations of Yan Dainian were very high, after all, when he was in the Psychic Ghost School, the painter had also said that Yan Dainian’s talent was above his.

　　Thinking about the painter who was alone in the world behind the door, building heaven with his own strength, and then looking at Yan Dainian in the comic book, Chen Ge was helpless.

　　”Dainian, if you’re hungry, say something.”

　　Taking all the staff back to the comic book, Chen Ge waited until after dawn to return to Nightmare Academy.

　　He hadn’t slept all night and was about to go back to rest, but as soon as he opened the door to the Nightmare Academy he saw several living employees standing in the hall.

　　”You guys are waiting for me?” Chen Ge quickly realized that something wasn’t right, besides the living employees, there were also several police officers present, one of them he had seen the last time he came to Xinhai, it seemed to be surnamed Cai.

　　”Mr. Chen, don’t be nervous for now, we just have some questions we want to ask you.” The lead policeman walked over to Chen Ge, “The night before last, the Old Town pagoda collapsed, we saw your figure on the surveillance outside the block, I’m curious why you were in that place at that point in time.”

　　With so many police officers coming over, Chen Ge immediately realized that the Xinhai police had already discovered the body in the pagoda.

　　”Even if you guys don’t come looking for me, I’m still prepared to go looking for you.” Chen Ge’s expression was even more serious than the police, “There are some things that are not convenient to say here, why don’t we go back to the bureau and have a good exchange.”

　　”Back to the bureau?” The police officer in the lead exchanged glances with his colleagues next to him, they were just making a routine inquiry, but the other party took the initiative to ask to go to the police station, this was too aggressive, right?

　　”Trust me, I really have something very important to tell you guys.” Chen Ge emphasized again and again, and those few policemen finally decided to take Chen Ge back to the police station with them.

　　Watching Chen Ge and the police officers leave, Zhang Jingjiu signaled Qu Changlin and Xiao Die to go about their business, “Don’t just stand there, do what you need to do.”

　　”Brother Wine, the boss was taken away by the police ah! You’re being too calm!” Xiao Die was worried, “Could the boss have gotten into something?”

　　”It’s useless for you to worry, we have to trust the boss, and then slowly …… get used to it.”

　　After getting into the police car, Chen Ge’s expression became even more serious, he and the other two policemen squeezed into the back row, making those two policemen a bit uncomfortable.

　　”The night before last, why did you appear near the pagoda?” Team Cai was curious in his heart and desperately wanted to know the answer.

　　”In addition to the pagoda in the old city center, I also went to the mansion in the new district the night before last, the development zone in the far suburbs, and the wasteland on the Ring Road.” Chen Ge had taken a taxi to all these places, and it was easy for the police to find out, so he simply said it directly.

　　”What are you doing running to so many places in the middle of the night?”

　　”Not only the night before last, I also ran almost all over Xinhai’s old city and suburbs last night, I pretty much didn’t close my eyes for two whole nights.” Chen Ge was aggressive, he was clearly the one being questioned, but he acted extremely strong, as if he was the one questioning the others.

　　”What exactly were you doing in those places?”

　　”I was tracking down the whereabouts of a doctor whose surname is Fang.” Chen Ge held Team Cai’s hand, “The matter is more serious than I thought, I may need your help.”
