Chapter 1199: Family and “Family”
The situation was already extremely unfavorable for the Cursed Hospital, as the white-clothed dean was forced to constantly retreat by Zhang Ya, every single Fierce God was being held back, and the Cursed Prison that isolated the Blood City was on the verge of collapse.
Sitting amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the blood-clothed dean finally struck.
Corpses collided together, and countless black threads drilled out from among the corpses.
The Dean’s first target was not Chen Ge and the others, but the white-clothed Dean.
Before anyone could react, the thin threads drilling out of the corpses had already wrapped around the white-clothed dean’s body.
”You’ve already done a good job.”
The same words Chen Ge had said to Xiao Sun before, but the white-clothed dean’s end was completely different from Xiao Sun’s.
To the Cursed Hospital, useless “people” were trash that could be discarded at any time after use, and the blood-clothed dean dragged the white dean, who had been stripped of his abilities, into the sea of blood, where countless black threads completely tore him apart.
The white dean didn’t resist too strongly during the whole process, he seemed to have known his own end, and the two had to be merged into one after all.
Having swallowed the white-clothed dean, the blood-clothed dean stood up from the human bone seat, his flesh and blood melting, the mountain of corpses and sea of blood under his feet changing with his every move.
That terrifying aura was not comparable to a single certain Fierce God.
”Not even close, my familiars, it’s your turn to protect me now.” The blood-clothed dean waved his arm, and the adults and children in the middle of “Heaven” who would only ever smile began to walk towards the sea of blood on their own accord.
No Smile was a family member made by the Dean, there was some kind of special blood relationship between them and the Dean, it was a kind of cursed blood that they couldn’t get rid of for the rest of their lives, and no matter how painful it was, they could only show a smile.
They did all of this simply because Dean felt that heaven should be filled with smiles.
Without an expression of their own, all of them jumped into the sea of blood with smiles on their faces, and they used their lives to turn into a thread of blood.
This blood filament represented the bonds of home and blood relatives, and they swam in the sea of blood before piercing into Chen Ge’s parents’ bodies.
”With all the pains and tribulations in the world, only family members can break through their hearts.” The blood-clothed dean watched as his family members were sent to their deaths, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, “I really can’t understand what use is a family member who doesn’t smile?”
As the blood threads continued to pierce into Chen Ge’s parents’ bodies, the aura of the dean’s body continued to grow as he injected blood full of curses into Chen Ge’s parents’ bodies at the cost of his own family’s lives.
The obsession for home became the only weakness of Chen Ge’s parents, and in order to target this weakness, the blood-clothed dean had continuously crafted family member after family member that met his requirements since ten years ago.
It could be said that Unsmiling’s existence was for this day.
Seeing all of this, Chen Ge’s teeth clenched, and the countless red clothes around him had also long since launched an attack on the Blood Clothed Dean.
The dean was Chen Ge’s life and death enemy, as well as the culprit who had caused Dr. Gao’s family to be destroyed, and all of the two presidents of the Weird Tales Association killed with red eyes.
The huge mountain of corpses and sea of blood was besieged by the red coats, and chunks of flesh and blood were torn to shreds. While everyone was going crazy, Xiao Sun quietly approached the sea of blood.
Wearing a blood-stained white coat, he swept his eyes over one unsmiling person, and eventually saw a child in the corner of the room where the corpses were pieced together.
The child was wearing a tattered dark blue raincoat, cowering alone in the shadows, his face covered in tearstains, but his mouth held a smile.
”Found it!”
Little Sun kicked away the limbs that blocked his way and was about to go over, when a strange man with a knife slashed from the corner of his mouth to the base of his ear emerged from the pile of corpses.
”Dr. Sun, don’t forget our deal.” This Unsmiling Chen Ge had seen him before, when he was in Liwan Town, he had rode the same last train with Chen Ge into the back of the gate.
”Don’t worry, my boss remembers you and often mentions the matter of you teaming up to take out Shadow in Liwan Town.” Xiao Sun picked up the child in the blue raincoat and waved behind him, “Dean couldn’t care less about you guys right now, try to save as many people as you can, Dean isn’t your family, it’s not worth dying for him.”
Deep within the mountain of corpses, an unsmiling changed direction, most of them trying to escape when one started to run away.
Little Sun didn’t linger as he held the kid in his arms as he ran quickly away from the mountain of corpses to one of the rooms on the bottom floor of the hospital that was falling apart.
Removing the door to the room, an unfamiliar voice came from inside.
”Dr. Sun? Is that you?”
”Eat Bitch, Eat Yellow Springs, bring everyone here immediately, this place is going to be destroyed.” Dr. Sun shouted towards the darkened house, and in no time, a dozen living people ran out from the depths of the hut.
Among them were patients wearing hospital gowns, and people with the surname “Eat” wearing hospital uniforms, although they appeared in the world behind the door, they were indeed all living people.
This group of people had been saved by Little Sun, and were now following behind him in great numbers.
”You guys have helped me, so I must keep my promise, this is what my boss taught me.”
While Dr. Sun on Chen Ge’s side was protecting the good people behind the door, the blood-clothed dean wanted to kill all the family members behind the door, and this scene was seen by countless weak obsessions and shadowy souls.
No one was willing to die for nothing, and no deities were willing to suffer the curse of their souls, the number of blood filaments in the middle of the sea of blood gradually decreased, and the red-robed and deities at the bottom of the hospital that were barely maintaining the foundation of the building began to flee.
They didn’t trust Chen Ge, nor were they willing to help the dean, taking advantage of the dean’s attention being attracted, they quietly retreated to the edge of the building, just waiting for the cursed cage to break when they rushed out.
Those who gained the way had a lot of help, but those who lost the way had little help.
The blood-clothed dean sensed that an Unsmiling had fled, his fingers gently bent and a blood wire broke like a zither string, every time he broke a blood wire, an Unsmiling planted itself on the ground, its body turned into a monster and countless black curses drilled out from its internal organs.
In the face of a great enemy, the dean was still unwilling to let go of his own family.
The vast majority of the unsmiling stopped in their tracks, the strongest few unsmiling seemed to have planned ahead with Xiao Sun, who had long ago replaced the blood on his body, and at this time, although he also suffered from the curses, he was still barely able to hold on.
”This is family? Fighting for your life to escape the home I built with my own hands?” Seven faces emerged above Dean’s bloody clothes, which seemed to be his seven children.
These seven faces kept emitting miserable screams as they cursed the dean at all times.
No one knew why the dean had become the way he was, even Xiao Sun had only probed some rumors that for some reason, the dean had killed all of his family members with his own hands.
Most of those half-human, half-ghost unsmiling people in the hospital were made by Dean with his family’s blood.
His real family members were in the middle of his body, becoming the root of the curse.
”Forgotten memories are deposited in the depths of nightmares, forming an infinite black fog, people always think that pain can be forgotten, but in fact, the pain has always been hidden in the heart.”
The blood-clothed dean gently stroked the faces of the family members on his body, listening to their most vicious curses, his eyes slowly fixed on Chen Ge: “I share the same origin with the black fog, and I am the exact opposite of you. I abhor all that is good, and today I will reawaken those forgotten pains.”
