Chapter 1187 – One-eyed, Curse Woman, Crimson

　　The child’s voice traveled a long way, Chen Ge’s face was scared white when he heard it, at this moment, the “perverted murderers” at the end of the corridor were “splitting up the corpses”, and when the child shouted like this, the whole third floor knew that he had come over.

　　”Big brother, you are sweating a lot, are you very hot?” This kid is definitely a bad guy, with a sinister and cunning look in his eyes, but he still has to show an innocent expression on his face.

　　The sweat on his forehead couldn’t be bothered to wipe it, Chen Ge was ready to leave at the first opportunity, he had already reflected very quickly, which also seemed to be the optimal solution at this time in normal terms.

　　Turning around and preparing to run backwards, Chen Ge hadn’t even taken a few steps before he saw the burnt doors of the rooms on the third floor being pushed open, and one by one, the tenants whose faces were as pale as the dead poked their heads out.

　　”Big brother, where are you going to go?” That child relentlessly followed Chen Ge, who was smiling very happily.

　　A group of silhouettes came out of the room, among them were students in school uniforms and strange people with mutilated bodies, and they blocked Chen Ge’s path to leave.

　　”What should we do at this time?”

　　Cold sweat slid down the bridge of his nose, Chen Ge couldn’t think of a good solution even with his brain running to its limit.

　　”Didn’t I tell you to stay in your room?” The saw blade rubbed against the wall as the middle-aged man called Old Zhou walked over.

　　His eyes, which were devoid of any living emotion, stared coldly at Chen Ge, “Now you can’t leave even if you want to.”

　　Chen Ge did not even expect that there were so many people living in the apartment building that looked empty, and most of these people lived on the third floor that was burned down.

　　”I think everyone might have misunderstood.” Even in this extreme situation, Chen Ge realized that he was still very calm, his pupils looked at the saw in the middle-aged man’s hand, there were wood shavings left on the saw blade, but there was no blood.

　　This indicated that the other party had not used the saw to saw someone just now, but was instead sawing wood or something like that.

　　”Misunderstanding?” The smile on the man surnamed Zhou’s face gradually became cruel, he seemed to be able to accurately grasp Chen Ge’s psyche, applying pressure little by little, “What did we misunderstand?”

　　”Actually, I’m the same person as you guys.” Chen Ge made such a judgment based on the fact that he and Zuo Han and Zhang Wenyu were friends, and friends of friends had a high probability of being friends.

　　In addition this group of tenants nailed the doctor of the cursed hospital to the wall, the two sides must be enemies who don’t share the same fate, and there is a high probability that an enemy of an enemy is also a friend.

　　Chen Ge spoke sincerely, but the people around him didn’t react much after hearing what he said.

　　”What I said is true.” Chen Ge wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by the middle-aged man.

　　”You’re the same person as us? But who told you that we are human?” The child following Chen Ge laughed heartily, as if he particularly enjoyed scaring people, and kept following Chen Ge.

　　The tenants surrounded Chen Ge tighter and tighter, when a familiar voice suddenly came from the second floor hallway: “All calm down! He’s not an enemy, he’s the best …… friend you’ve ever had.”

　　The writer came to the third floor, he thought for a long time before he used the word friend, in fact he couldn’t exactly describe the relationship between Chen Ge and the tenants, like coworkers, like friends, and also like family.

　　”Zhang Wenyu?” Seeing the writer coming over, the tenants made way, and Old Zhou put down the saw in his hand, “You’re the only one out of all of us who still retains most of your memories, you know this man?”

　　”He and I are on average, we’ve only met a few times, but I can tell you with certainty that he is very important to you.” The writer walked over to Chen Ge and nodded with great relief, “I really didn’t expect you to come over, if someone asked me to make such a choice, I’d rather live in false beauty.”

　　”Who exactly are you? And what does the name Zhang Wenyu mean? Why did I see tens of thousands of medical record sheets in the hospital with the words Zhang Wenyu written on them?” Chen Ge had countless questions in his mind, “Why have all of our memories been tampered with, with you being the exception?”

　　”It’s not convenient to answer outside, I asked you to come here just to tell you the truth.” The writer stood in the middle of the crowd, he raised his arm and pointed at all the people around him, “Right now amongst this apartment, except for you, everyone else, including me, are all dead people.”

　　”Dead people?” Chen Ge was not surprised to hear this answer, he just suddenly thought of a sentence that Zhang Ya had once said, when they parted that day, Zhang Ya said that she had dreamed of a city full of dead people in her dream, and she also said that Chen Ge was the only ghost in the city that had a temperature.

　　”That’s right, ghosts are real, at least in this city they are.” The writer had Chen Ge stand with Old Zhou and the others, “You used to run a haunted house, all of them were your employees, and you were like family to each other.”

　　The writer’s words once again confirmed Chen Ge’s previous suspicion that those locked and brutal memories in his mind were the ones that truly belonged to him.

　　”What else do you know?”

　　”The reason why you can’t recall these things is because your memories were eaten by a mouth, a power that I can’t understand at all.” The writer spoke out the memories of Chen Ge in his mind, he didn’t hold anything back, “I’ll tell you something even more desperate, this city is a prison cell, and all of us are prisoners trapped inside. I don’t know the way out, but I do know that the key to leaving lies with you.”

　　The writer’s eyes kept looking at Chen Ge as he spoke, “The fact that you chose us means that you have actively abandoned the illusory goodness, and from the moment you enter the Peaceful Apartment, your life is about to change drastically.”

　　Combining the writer’s words, Chen Ge recalled the information revealed by Dr. Sun.

　　The hospital had prepared two treatment plans for Chen Ge, one was for him to kill the people most important to him with his own hands, driving him completely insane and then imprisoning him in the deepest part of the hospital.

　　The other was to erase all of Chen Ge’s past memories and give him illusory goodness, so that he would unconsciously become a happy mannequin at the mercy of the hospital.

　　With Dr. Sun’s cooperation, the hospital’s current treatment plan for Chen Ge was to let him get lost in false goodness, but once the hospital realized that Chen Ge wasn’t immersed in false memories and was thinking of resisting at all times, then they would most likely change their treatment plan.

　　The most vicious thing about hospitals was that after giving Chen Ge false goodness, they would then personally tear the goodness apart and dismember it, so that the hurt and despair caused to Chen Ge would be even deeper.

　　”After I choose you guys, will something happen to Zhang Ya?” Even if he was in danger, Chen Ge’s first thought at this time was still Zhang Ya, the month he left the hospital was his happiest time, that marvelous feeling was rarely felt even in his past memories.

　　At the mention of Zhang Ya’s name, the whole apartment building was instantly silent, and the noisy tenants all shut their mouths.

　　They looked at each other, all feeling puzzled, and they themselves did not know why they suddenly felt palpitations.

　　”Zhang Ya is the owner of that haunted house in Xinhai Paradise, right?” The writer didn’t think there was anything special about the name Zhang Ya, “I’d like to deceive you, but there’s no point in deceiving, I can tell you with certainty that Calamity will definitely go after her. All the people and things you hold dear will be haunted by bad luck.”

　　”I have an idea.” Chen Ge raised his own hand and pointed towards the doctor nailed to the wall at the end of the corridor, “But before I say anything, can you guys ask that doctor to recuse himself?”

　　”It’s fine, his eyes and ears have been rendered useless, you don’t need to have any concerns, just say it.” The child called Men Nan came over to Chen Ge’s side, and he used the most naive tone to say the most cruel words.

　　”Zuo Han and I both came from Xinhai Central Hospital, and my illness is much heavier than his. To give a visual example, he takes medicine twice a day, half a grain at a time, and I had a period of time where I took medicine four times a day, swallowing five grains …… at a time,” Chen Ge told his encounters in the hospital, removing the seven glass jars and Dr. Sun, who hadn’t hidden anything.

　　”Several of the important patients and doctors are related to me, and after I came here, seeing each and every one of you also felt familiar, I even wondered if this city was built specifically to treat me.” Chen Ge’s words caused the tenants to fall into deep thought, if another person came and said that, I’m afraid he would have turned into a corpse by now, but Chen Ge was different.

　　After all the tenants saw Chen Ge, an indescribable feeling arose in their hearts, they seemed to be unwilling to hurt Chen Ge from the bottom of their hearts.

　　Old Zhou had pretended not to see Chen Ge many times because he didn’t want to implicate Chen Ge; he had lost his memory, and his instincts made him still care for Chen Ge.

　　This was already very counterintuitive, and when combined with the writer’s words, all the tenants were now starting to think seriously.

　　”That hospital wanted to treat me for some purpose, they gave two treatment options, and if one didn’t work they would immediately replace it with the second. My idea is for everyone to investigate in secret, and I will also cooperate with you in private, on the surface I will continue to act like I’m indulging in false goodness.” Chen Ge’s tone was firm, “After we have enough clues or have the power to confront the hospital head on, then we will directly show our cards.”

　　”You have a good idea, but that hospital won’t give you that chance.” The writer walked deeper into the long corridor and picked up a steel nail on the ground, “Do you see this doctor nailed to the wall? After Zuo Han escaped from the hospital, the hospital nurses immediately began to take action, after Zuo Han accidentally injured a nurse, the night shift doctors in the hospital also joined in the pursuit of the store, these night shift doctors look like human beings on the surface, but in fact, they are all ghosts, very scary ghosts.”

　　The writer raised his hand and stabbed a steel nail into that doctor’s chest, blood slowly flowed out, when the bloodletting was put to a certain level, thin black lines started to emerge from the doctor’s body, “You guys have been swallowed out of your memories, so you don’t know how scary these things are, when both sides didn’t tear their faces off, they would still maintain the appearance of normal, once that hospital got serious, just with us people we are not at all are not their opponents.”

　　Although he had been mentally prepared, Chen Ge still felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the black threads emerging from the doctor’s chest.

　　However, he was also thankful inwardly that when he was in the hospital, he had many times had the idea of wanting to fight the doctor and force his way out. Luckily, he didn’t go that far and stayed in disguise, otherwise he wouldn’t have had a chance to deceive the doctors in the hospital.

　　”We people are no match for the hospital, then we’ll go looking for more people, we’re definitely not the only ones in this city who have a problem with the hospital.” Chen Ge thought of the cabinet of case sheets.

　　”There are a lot of people who have a problem with the hospital, the problem is that those guys one by one are even more brutal and scary than the hospital.” The writer seemed to be the first one to escape from the hospital, and he knew the dark side of the city very well, “Hospitals often maintain a superficial order in order to achieve a certain goal, but those guys are different, you should have met Zuo Han, right?”

　　”I’ve met him, in just a month, he’s a different person from before.” Chen Ge looked around and did not find Zuo Han’s figure.

　　”When Zuo Han was forced into a desperate situation by the night doctor, he met a woman. That woman said that she would help Zuo Han get out of danger as long as Zuo Han made a deal with him.”

　　”So Zuo Han lost his left eye?”

　　”Yes. The condition of her offer was to gouge out Zuo Han’s eye. You can also go to her for help, provided you are prepared to sacrifice your body.”

　　The writer had thought that saying this would dissuade Chen Ge, but who knew that after Chen Ge thought for a moment, he inquired very seriously, “What is that woman’s name? Where can I find her?”

　　”No one knows her name, everyone calls her One-Eye, she’s hidden amongst a ruined school in the western suburbs.” The writer shook his head, “The three scariest ghosts in this city are One-eye, Curse Woman, and Crimson, compared to One-eye and Curse Woman, Crimson is a bit better to talk to, if you are really desperate, go to Liwan Street in the eastern suburb of Xinhai and look for her.”

　　Chen Ge memorized the names of these three ghosts, “If I make a deal with these three ghosts at the same time, do I have a chance to confront the hospital head on?”

　　”I don’t know, maybe a one in ten chance.” The writer patiently persuaded Chen Ge, “Don’t think about something so unrealistic, making a deal with three ghosts at the same time, you’re gambling with your own life, even if there’s a one in ten chance of winning the gamble, you’ll still turn into a crippled monster later.”

　　”When it really comes down to it, it’s nothing even if you turn into a monster.” Chen Ge answered very decisively.

　　”Maybe there are other ways, all the ghosts in this city have lost their memories, there are two ways to get them back, the first is to kill the person who stripped them of their memories, the second is to devour each other and put together the pieces of memories in the minds of all the ghosts. That guy who stole our memories has extremely sinister intentions, he just wants to make everyone kill each other, but this also indirectly proves one thing, that even if we weren’t friends in the past, we at least had the same stance.” The writer hoped Chen Ge would calm down, “You can’t treat them as enemies, the possibility of persuasion exists if we all have the same position.”
