Chapter 1189 – Patient Number Two

　　Zuo Han looked very anxious, as if he had been chased by something.

　　”I went to Ping An Apartment last night, and you weren’t there.” It wasn’t that Chen Ge didn’t want to help Zuo Han, he just felt that Zuo Han was still very young and it would be a shame to gamble his life like this.

　　”After I left your haunted house that day, I was targeted by the hospital doctors, in order to get rid of them, I had to go to the Western Suburbs Private College again, and blocked the doctors with the help of One Eye’s power.” Zuo Han touched the wound on his face, the pain seemed to keep him awake at all times.

　　”She helped you stop the doctor, and you paid your own body parts as the price?”

　　”A very fair deal.” Zuo Han sighed softly, “The tenants of the Peaceful Apartment are people like us, trustworthy, but they are too weak, this world is not as simple as you think, all my suspicions have been confirmed step by step. We need One-Eye’s help, her presence means a deterrent and also allows us to visualize the city more.”

　　”Alright, I’ll go with you.” Chen Ge looked down at his watch, “But I have to leave before midnight zero, because the tenant of the Peaceful Apartment and I have agreed to meet on Liwan Street after zero this night.”

　　”Thanks a lot.”

　　Chen Ge wanted to leave the white cat behind to look after the house, but who knew that the white cat jumped directly onto his backpack and couldn’t be driven away, as if it was determined to stay with Chen Ge.

　　Chen Ge had no choice but to put the white cat and the tool hammer together and set off with his backpack.

　　Zuo Han somewhat did not understand Chen Ge’s behavior, but he did not say anything more.

　　After leaving the haunted house, Chen Ge was ready to get a taxi, but was stopped by Zuo Han.

　　They walked through the city alleys on foot and kept walking for a long time before they saw a van at the end of a back alley.

　　”The driver’s name is Tang Jun, he’s also a tenant of Ping An Apartment, he lost most of his memories, and according to himself, he seems to have been a race car driver before.”

　　Tang Jun’s car skills were very good, he drove the van specializing in small roads with fewer people, and sent Zuo Han and Chen Ge to the private college in the western suburb of Xinhai before eleven o’clock at night.

　　This place had been deserted for a long time for some unknown reason.

　　As soon as they entered the campus, they could feel a gust of gloomy wind, and the temperature inside the fence was much lower than outside.

　　”Follow me.” It wasn’t the first time Zuo Han had entered the abandoned school, and he led Chen Ge to avoid the teaching building and directly enter the multi-functional laboratory building at the back of the abandoned school.

　　There were chairs placed everywhere in the building, and each chair still had a student’s name written underneath it.

　　Originally, students wrote their names underneath their chairs, probably because they were afraid of losing their chairs when they started the assembly, but when they came back to look at the school after it was abandoned, the chairs with their names written on them were just like individual tombstones.

　　”One-Eye was in the lab building?”

　　”Yes, but she herself doesn’t know why she likes to stay here.”

　　All the doors of the lab building were locked, with all sorts of cruel and weird graffiti painted on them, it seemed that something very bad had happened to this private academy in the past, and the abandonment of the school was also related to those things.

　　The third floor of the laboratory building leads to the fourth floor where there is an iron door, in front of the door piled up a large pile of broken chairs, looking like all kinds of limbs were piled up together.

　　Zuo Han found a path amongst the pile of chairs and led Chen Ge to drill into it.

　　”Here it is, this is the place, when you go in later, don’t say a word, One-eye has a weird temper, he might not be favorable to you.” Zuo Han stopped at the entrance of the dance studio on the fourth floor, after he explained a few words to Chen Ge, he pushed open the door of the dance studio.

　　Bone-piercing cool air hit his face, and when Chen Ge saw the scene inside the dance studio, his shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and his heart thumped as if he had been here before, and this place was very important to him.

　　A wide dance studio with honorary pictures of faces gouged out were posted on the walls, and a huge full body mirror stood at the end of the dance studio.

　　All the windows were boarded up and a few chairs stood in the center of the dance studio.

　　The closed room seemed dark, depressing, and lingered with a faint sadness.

　　Zuo Han took out a small knife from his pocket and gently scratched across the wound on his cheek, and blood began to seep out of the hole in his left eye.

　　Bright red beads of blood fell to the ground drop by drop, Zuo Han took the knife and sat down on the chair, “I’ve come to fulfill my promise with you.”

　　The temperature inside the dance chamber lowered once again, the wooden boards on the windows made a cracking sound, and the mirror at the end of the dance chamber began to show cracks.

　　A few moments later, there was no abnormality in the dance room, but if one looked into the huge mirror they would see a one-eyed woman in a school uniform appearing in the middle of the dance room in the mirror.

　　In the mirror, she ignored Zuo Han, who was bleeding, and was currently standing behind Chen Ge.

　　It was as if his spine was frozen with ice, and Chen Ge was unable to even turn around in the most basic way.

　　”It’s me who came to make a deal with you!” Zuo Han stared at the mirror with the only remaining eye, he was a little confused, One-Eye had never been so interested in someone before, what was it about Chen Ge that was attracting her?

　　Perhaps hearing Zuo Han’s voice, words in blood began to float on the mirror – Give me seven human lives, I will enter the hospital and help you take out the case sheet.

　　Seven lives in exchange for a single strike from One-Eye, seeing this scene, Chen Ge frowned slightly.

　　The One-eye hiding in the middle of the abandoned school very much matched the impression of a stern ghost in his mind, cruel, cold, terrifying, and playing with human nature.

　　”Seven strips? Didn’t we agree yesterday that I would dedicate my life to you, and you would enter the hospital to help me steal patient number one’s case sheet?” Zuo Han stood up, blood flowed out along the wound of his left eye, his face was full of blood and looked horrible.

　　The one-eyed woman in the mirror had been standing behind Chen Ge, she waved her own hand and new text appeared on the mirror – Or you guys have another option.

　　”You guys?” Seeing the one-eyed’s use of words, Zuo Han already had a bad feeling, “What choice?”

　　The cracks on the mirror surface grew, and several hideous fonts quietly emerged – Give me Chen Ge’s left eye!

　　Seeing the bleeding words on the mirror, both Chen Ge and Zuo Han felt bad.

　　”How did she know that my name is Chen Ge?” Chen Ge was puzzled in his heart.

　　Zuo Han was also a bit puzzled; One-Eye’s desire for Chen Ge was far greater than his own, “One of Chen Ge’s eyeballs can be equal to seven human lives?”

　　This bloody bargaining chip made Zuo Han fall into deep thought, his gaze moving between the mirror and Chen Ge.

　　No one spoke up in the dance room, everyone was weighing the pros and cons.

　　Frankly speaking, Chen Ge also very much wanted to see Patient #1’s case sheet, and he had a vague feeling that Patient #1 was related to the child who had been put into seven jars and was the key to breaking the game.

　　”If I give you my left eye, can you guarantee to bring out Patient Number One’s case sheet from the hospital?” Chen Ge was not clear about One Eye’s strength, in his opinion the hospital was unfathomable and almost no one could fight it alone.

　　A few moments later, a line of blood letters appeared on the mirror – Can’t, but this is your last chance.

　　Offering his left eye, there was still no guarantee that he would be able to obtain a case sheet, Chen Ge hesitated.

　　”Chen Ge, the deal is canceled, let’s go.” Zuo Han seemed to have realized something, his gaze was fixed on Chen Ge, and he gave Chen Ge a wink sign before getting up and preparing to leave.

　　As soon as the two of them moved, the door to the dance room was closed, there was obviously nothing in the room, but Chen Ge and Zuo Han felt as if they were going to be crushed.

　　”Leave one thing behind before you can leave.” The one-eyed woman in the mirror stood in the middle of the blood characters, her pale arms full of scars slowly raised, and Chen Ge’s body began to walk towards the mirror uncontrollably.

　　”Chen Ge!” Zuo Han grabbed Chen Ge’s shoulders, but he couldn’t stop Chen Ge at all and was dragged along to the front of the mirror.

　　Looking at the one-eyed woman in the mirror, Chen Ge felt both familiar and unfamiliar inside.

　　Familiar was the scene, unfamiliar was the person in front of him.

　　The one-eyed woman’s raised arm probed forward and touched the mirror, the color of blood washed away, and the pale arm full of scars penetrated the mirror and grabbed at Chen Ge.

　　His pupils narrowed, and the one-eyed woman and another figure in Chen Ge’s eyes slowly overlapped, and he almost subconsciously pronounced a name: “Zhang Ya?”

　　Upon hearing this name, the one-eyed woman’s outstretched hand stopped, and her hand that was originally grasping at Chen Ge’s heart hovered in mid-air, ending up just removing one of Chen Ge’s hairs.

　　All the blood characters on the mirror surface disappeared, and the one-eyed woman gave Chen Ge a deep look and walked into the world deep within the mirror.

　　The temperature in the dance studio returned to normal, and Zuo Han stood beside Chen Ge, his face covered in blood, almost unable to believe that the brutal One-Eye had just let himself and Chen Ge go.

　　”Did you know One-Eye before? Why do I feel that she just developed fear at a certain moment?”

　　”Let’s get out of here first.” The scene where the one-eyed woman appeared in the mirror touched Chen Ge’s memory.

　　When Zhang Ya’s figure and the one-eyed woman’s figure overlapped, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and a long-lost feeling surged through him.

　　He could be very sure that Zhang Ya had appeared in such a way.

　　”There must be a truth hidden in those dreams of Zhang Ya, just now when One-Eye heard Zhang Ya’s name, her demeanor clearly changed, just the word Zhang Ya made her falter, which means Zhang Ya is most likely an even more terrifying ghost than One-Eye!”

　　Because Zhang Ya was a sidekick, Chen Ge had previously thought more about protecting Zhang Ya from harm, but now he realized that the truth didn’t seem to be the case.

　　”I have to have a good talk with her.”

　　Compared to One-Eye’s promise, Chen Ge now had a new direction.

　　Walking out of the Xinhai Western Suburbs Private Academy, Tang Jun’s van was right outside.

　　After getting into the car, Zuo Han and Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

　　”Is that the Knight Ghost? It’s too scary.” Chen Ge didn’t feel too bad when he spent time with the tenants of the Peaceful Apartment, and this time he realized how terrifying the Lich Ghost really was after he came into contact with One-Eye.

　　”Chen Ge, I’m a bit puzzled as to why One-Eye knows your name. You guys should have met for the first time!” Zuo Han was still thinking about this.

　　”I lost my previous memories, and One-Eye might have once been friends with me.” This was the more reasonable explanation Chen Ge could think of.

　　”One of your eyes is equivalent to seven human lives, and a Lich won’t lie about trading chips, so it looks like I’ll have to rethink this.” Zuo Han stroked his chin, “When you were in the hospital, you were the most special patient, those doctors used the other patients as medicine to treat you, and now that you’ve left the hospital, the Knight Ghosts also think you’re very special.”

　　”I also sometimes feel as if this city was built specifically to cure me, all traces have been erased, leaving only what those hospitals wanted me to see.”

　　Zuo Han and Chen Ge exchanged words all the way, after leaving the hospital, they could finally speak freely.

　　At twelve in the morning, Tang Jun drove Chen Ge and Zuo Han to Liwan Street.

　　This old street was located in the eastern suburb of Xinhai, it was the terminus of bus 104, it was extremely remote, usually very few people would come over.

　　”The tenants should have already arrived, do you know how to contact them?” Chen Ge looked at Zuo Han and Tang Jun, both of them shook their heads.

　　”It’s my first time coming to Liwan Street as well.” After Zuo Han got off the car, he first looked around, the street lights on both sides of the old street were bright and dark, not a single silhouette.

　　”Have you guys noticed that the shadows of everything on this street are skewed?” Tang Jun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, he tried to recall for a while, “Ever since I came to this place, I’ve felt familiar, it seems like I used to come here often to race with people.”

　　”Shadow?” Chen Ge looked down, and he discovered an even weirder point.

　　The shadows of everything and everyone on this street were skewed, only his shadow was normal.

　　”Something’s not right.”

　　The three of them entered the street, the buildings and stores on both sides had their doors and windows closed, and there was no popularity at all.

　　Crossing the entire street, they arrived at a residential area in the deepest part of Liwan Street.

　　Just as they stepped through the gate, they were enveloped by a chilly feeling; this residential area and the outside seemed to be two different worlds.

　　With a feeling in his heart, Chen Ge subconsciously looked up, and he realized that at the window of the fourth floor of a certain residential building, there was a little girl in a red bloody dress staring at him.

　　”That’s Crimson?”

　　The door to the building was opened, and a middle-aged man surnamed Zhou appeared in the doorway, “Don’t ink, come over quickly!”

　　All three of them entered the building, and they were led by Old Zhou to meet Crimson.

　　Old Zhou and Men Nan wanted to introduce Chen Ge, but before they could say anything, the little girl known as Crimson took the initiative to walk over to Chen Ge.

　　The next thing she did was a very strange move, this child dressed in blood crouched down next to Chen Ge and gently stroked Chen Ge’s shadow with the palm of her hand.

　　A moment later she raised her head, and a hideous bloody character emerged around the girl.

　　”After I followed my instincts and came to this old street, there was a man with a normal shadow waiting for me here, he said that he was patient number two and that he needed my help now.”

　　Everyone in the room froze as they looked at the bloody writing on the floor.

　　Everyone’s shadows were skewed, only Chen Ge and that patient number two had normal shadows.

　　”What does he want you to do for him?” Chen Ge subconsciously asked, his intuition told him that the answer to this question was very important to him.

　　”He wants me to be your shadow.” The girl known as Crimson had blood colors tumbling in her eyes, and she seemed to have retrieved some of her memories.
