Chapter 1190 – Cursed Hospital’s Misjudgment
No one in the room was able to understand the little girl’s words, allowing a stern ghost to become the shadow of a living person, someone who could make such a request should be very sick indeed.
Everyone, including Chen Ge, was somewhat unable to accept it.
”Is this sort of an alternative deal? You become his shadow and he becomes your doll.” Men Nan’s guess was a bit darker, and he was thinking from the perspective of a normal stern ghost.
The girl in red shook her head when she heard this.
Blood threads intertwined behind her, spreading over the entire room in the blink of an eye, completely isolating this place from the outside world.
Crimson’s strength was very strong, and the others in the room combined were no match for her, but Crimson really didn’t seem to have any malicious intent.
After isolating her room from the outside world, she walked over to Chen Ge’s shadow, and her hands turned into countless blood filaments that surged into Chen Ge’s shadow, as if she was rummaging for something.
After searching for half an hour, Scarlet furrowed her tiny eyebrows, and a line of bloody characters surfaced on the walls around Chen Ge.
”I vaguely remember a ghost living in your shadow, where did she go? Why can’t you find her anymore? Did you lose her?”
Facing Crimson’s triple question, Chen Ge’s expression was blank: “There was originally a ghost living in my shadow?”
”En.” Crimson wove words through the blood threads to communicate with Chen Ge, “People without shadows don’t live long, that’s what patient number two said.”
”But isn’t my shadow following me around properly?” Chen Ge was a bit puzzled.
”The shadows of everyone and everything on Liwan Street are skewed, only your and Patient Number Two’s shadows are normal, which means that both of your shadows are fictionalized by the world and don’t exist, and both of you are people without shadows.” The blood characters surfaced quickly, and Crimson’s emotions fluctuated upon seeing Chen Ge, “You and Patient Number Two are very similar, and he helped me retrieve memories of my mother. In return, I can help you once, but I can’t be your shadow for now.”
Seeing Crimson take the initiative to say that she could help herself once, Chen Ge was very happy, but on second thought, he felt that something was wrong, “Crimson, what does that Patient Number Two look like? Why do I feel like he knows me?”
Just through Crimson’s description, Chen Ge felt that patient number two seemed to be familiar with him, and should be a former friend as well.
”He didn’t say his name, it seems that all information about him is a taboo in this city, and accidents and misfortunes will happen if one goes to probe, he himself knows this, so he didn’t tell me anything.” Bloody words surfaced on the ground, and then disappeared, erasing all traces of his existence, “If you’re really curious, you can go to the underground of the hospital to look for him, his main body seems to be locked up deep in the underground of the hospital, and the one that came to me that day was just a wisp of his residual thoughts.”
”Deep underground of the hospital?” Chen Ge himself had just come out of that hospital, and he didn’t realize that hospitals had underground buildings.
”The most dangerous parts of that hospital are underground, and it seems that patient number two is being held on the seventeenth floor underground. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend that you go looking for him right now, it’s too dangerous underground in the hospital.” The world described by Crimson was different from what Chen Ge had imagined, and if the hospital still had a massive underground structure, then he would have to re-estimate the strength of the hospital.
But thinking about it from a different perspective, Chen Ge felt that he was quite impressive for making such a terrifying hospital slip up.
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to retrieve his memories.
The color of the blood around him began to fade, and all those words woven with blood threads disappeared, and everything was as if it had never happened.
After Crimson gave Chen Ge her promise, she disappeared into the residential building, she and One-Eye were both considered the most terrifying ghosts and monsters, but they usually didn’t dare to show themselves casually, they always hid amongst some hidden corner.
”You are really unusual, I thought that convincing Crimson would be a difficult task, but I didn’t expect it to be so easy, I even felt that she was falling back on her words.” Men Nan had the speaking tone of a greasy middle-aged man, and only after he had passed his lips did he realize that he hadn’t left Liwan Street yet. He seemed to be worried about being overheard by Crimson and hurriedly looked around again.
”There are more and more people who are willing to join us, when the calamity comes, we might actually have a chance to fight to the death.” Zuo Han wasn’t as optimistic as Men Nan and the others, in his opinion, everyone giving everything and concentrating all their strength was only able to fight for a chance to fight for their lives.
”Chen Ge, you stay in the paradise honestly these days, paralyze the hospital, stall for time, and don’t let the hospital realize that you’re mixed up with us.” Zuo Han’s mind was very clear, he knew that Chen Ge was the key: “Just leave this matter of finding helpers to us.”
”Tomorrow night we will go together to meet the Curse Woman, and after the three strongest Lich Demons in this city have all agreed to help, I will not contact you for the time being.” Chen Ge also had his own concerns.
”Cursed Lady is the most terrifying and mysterious existence among the three stern ghosts, and no one knows her exact location. However, I once heard from a writer that one Zhang Wenyu had seen her in some abandoned hospital.” Old Zhou’s face was serious, “She is very dangerous, if possible, I wish I could bring Crimson along.”
”No, Crimson only agreed to help us once, and that’s for the sake of patient number two, we can’t just waste such a precious opportunity.” Chen Ge decisively refused, he repeated the word Curse Woman in his mind, and there seemed to be a black and red thread strung between the two in the underworld: “Curse Woman, I’ll convince her.”
The several people agreed to meet at the entrance of an abandoned hospital in the eastern suburb in the early hours of tomorrow night, and then they all left in different directions, so that it would be very troublesome for others to track them down even if they wanted to.
When it was almost dawn, Chen Ge returned to the haunted house.
Although the New Sea Paradise haunted house was suspended, he was still organizing props, cleaning, and always being ready for business as usual, all of these things seemed to have been engraved into his bones, and even if he lost his memory, his body would still follow his instincts.
At eight thirty in the morning, Zhang Ya came to the paradise with her breakfast, her parents didn’t seem to come to work today.
”Why aren’t aunties and uncles here?” Chen Ge ate his hot meal, and Zhang Ya sat next to him.
”My dad has a stomach bug, and my mom is taking care of him.”
”Is it serious?”
”An old problem.” Zhang Ya tried to make a relaxed expression, but her eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness.
”Zhang Ya, did you dream again last night?” Chen Ge put down his chopsticks and looked straight into Zhang Ya’s eyes, not allowing Zhang Ya to dodge.
”En.” Zhang Ya said slightly painfully, “It was that dream again, I dreamt that my parents had a car accident, and the gift they prepared for me was soaked in blood, and I also dreamt that I, dressed in red, holding the blood-stained gift they gave me, stood alone at the intersection in the middle of the night.”
Chen Ge didn’t know how to comfort Zhang Ya, and based on his speculations, he gradually realized something very cruel.
It was possible that Zhang Ya dreamed that those had actually happened, which meant that when they shattered the dream, Zhang Ya would lose her parents again, and despair would once again haunt the girl, dragging her into a bottomless abyss.
Chen Ge was clear that Zhang Ya liked herself, but the person she liked the most had to tear down the beautiful dream with her own hands, which was cruel to anyone.
”Chen Ge, I get confused sometimes.” Zhang Ya hid her hands under the table, her fingers twisted white, she spoke with a feeling that she couldn’t catch her breath, “In my dream, when I was looking in the mirror, the person in the mirror said something, she said that I took away Chen Ge’s life, and that what I was experiencing was the happiness that you once had.”
”Don’t care about that, live in the moment and cherish the present.” Chen Ge gently held Zhang Ya’s hand, and he realized that Zhang Ya’s hand was very cold.
In the beginning, when he held Zhang Ya’s hand, he could feel the unique warmth of a living person, but now Zhang Ya’s body temperature seemed to be starting to drop.
”I always have a very bad premonition, and I’m scared that I’m going to be separated from them next.” I don’t know if it was because of the dream or the reality was too stressful, but Zhang Ya’s state was very poor, and she could only feel a trace of peace of mind when she was by Chen Ge’s side.
The park opened at nine in the morning, and there were constantly tourists coming over to ask about it, some of them had seen the video about the haunted house on the internet and came from far away on purpose, but when they realized that the haunted house wasn’t open for business, they all showed a very disappointed expression.
The tourists and heat that the haunted house had accumulated slowly faded, and the reality was like ice-cold water poured on Chen Ge.
At around three o’clock in the afternoon, the people from the Paradise Inspection Props forced their way into the haunted house, they touched and checked the three haunted house scenes and didn’t find any problems, but when Chen Ge asked them when they would be able to resume their business, their answer was still TBD.
After sending the inspection team away, Zhang Ya took the corrective comments and called her parents, while Chen Ge stood by the side the whole time.
He heard Zhang Ya’s mother’s voice on the other side of the phone, very tired, and Zhang Ya’s father’s voice was also very weak.
”Today is the time for the second inspection of the paradise, but Zhang Ya’s parents, who are the owners of the haunted house, are not present, Zhang Ya’s father’s illness might not be a simple stomach problem.”
Calamity had descended and was slowly destroying everything in Chen Ge.
”Now it’s Zhang Ya’s parents, will it be Zhang Ya’s turn next?”
Having had it once, it would be even more painful when it was lost.
Chen Ge didn’t know what the hospital’s treatment plan for him was now, all he could do was to suffer in silence and keep gathering strength.
After the sun set, Chen Ge wanted to accompany Zhang Ya to visit Zhang Ya’s parents, but the other party didn’t seem too convenient, so Chen Ge didn’t force himself.
After he sent Zhang Ya away, he locked himself inside the staff lounge.
”After I meet the Curse Woman tonight, I won’t go anywhere and stay in the haunted house all the time in the hope of delaying the arrival of my bad luck.”
At around ten o’clock at night, Chen Ge was about to move to leave the haunted house when a strange noise appeared in the toilet on the first floor of the haunted house.
Chen Ge copied the tool hammer, he thought it was Zuo Han coming over, but when he saw the person in front of him, his expression was surprised.
”Dr. Sun?”
With scars all over his neck and face, his original face had been almost disfigured, this doctor who even the hospital doctors didn’t like ran into Chen Ge’s haunted house!
”I only have a minute, you can just listen to me next.” Dr. Sun knocked on the toilet room door and dragged Chen Ge into the middle of his brain maze.
”I will never leave the hospital until it’s absolutely necessary, the situation has now reached a very dangerous point.” After entering the brain maze, Dr. Sun dared to continue on, “The hospital knows about your visit to the Peaceful Apartment, and Eat Dragon Head is the one who’s soul was destroyed because of this incident.”
”Since they already knew, why didn’t they stop it?” Chen Ge was a bit puzzled.
”I’ll make a long story short, before you entered the hospital, the hospital had investigated you, but because of something they made a serious misjudgment about you! They thought that you used ghosts and monsters to run a haunted house, relying on using the living as bait, and that you hadn’t completely gained the trust of the ghosts and monsters at all, which is why they let you leave the hospital.”
”The ghosts and monsters themselves are haunted by resentment, plus they’ve lost their memories, so the first moment they see you they should try to devour you in any way they can.”
”If you’re hurt by someone you were once friends with, this will send you into deeper despair, and that’s what the doctors want to see.”
”That’s why they knew you went to the Peaceful Apartment and not only didn’t stop it, they even deliberately let you see the tenants torturing the doctors.”
”Assuming that you don’t have a sense of trust with the ghosts and monsters, when you see the tenants torturing the doctors, do you think they’re the good guys, or the bad guys?”
”When you break with the friends you once had, you’ll be more easily manipulated, and then the whole world will be your enemy, and no one will help you.”
”The hospital layout is perfect, but they don’t realize that the relationship between you and those ghosts and monsters isn’t simply using each other. They are still willing to stand with you even after forgetting the past!”
”Both sides all lost their memories, but the ghosts and monsters still chose to trust you, and you were surprisingly determined to walk with the ghosts and monsters as well.”
”If the hospital knew about the true relationship between you and the ghosts, they would never let you leave the hospital.”
”But now that the hospital has realized that they got something wrong, next, the hospital will test you in all sorts of ways, they will push you to your limits, I hope you can stay calm.”
”Doom has already struck, the hospital will also go after the Peaceful Apartment, you have to immediately inform them to leave the Peaceful Apartment, and tell them to never gather together!”
Dr. Sun spoke very fast, not giving Chen Ge a chance to interject at all, “Tonight is the last chance, after informing them, you should never have contact with them again, every contact you have will aggravate the hospital’s killing intent.”
”But it has been this passive hiding ……”
Before Chen Ge could finish speaking, Dr. Sun immediately spoke, “The more time you can delay, the higher the probability of some things succeeding.”
”Some things?”
”Remember my words, don’t hold on to false happiness, and don’t be deceived by woven memories.” Dr. Sun grabbed Chen Ge’s shoulders, “You’re carrying the lives of countless people on your shoulders, and every choice you make has the potential to drag them all into a bottomless abyss.”
”I know what to do.” Chen Ge’s eyes were calm and his gaze was deep.
