Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Mill h their bodies have perished, their lingering spirits have re side of his face slowly settled down to become his own face
He looked at Chen Ge “I once personally witnessed soe of the roof The firee, but the passersby ere gathered were cheering for her They saw her death as a type of entertainment I know it’s not appropriate to say that, but that is the truth They took out their phones to take pictures and urged her to juht even share it online and couple it with an emotional response
“These people are not an exception It’s because of their existence that so e of despair”
Chen Ge looked at the man on the opposite side of the track He understood the reed with him fully “Friend, I understand that there are s and people in the world—they are all around us—but other than thes in the world The ood and bad forms the foundation of our lives I think that your teacher has quite a good point—you are someone who sincerely placed hiood man, but you are not suitable to be a suicide prevention hotline operator
“You said it yourself, you hope to change people into someone who can absorb and release love, but you did not realize that you have been subconsciously and slowly influenced by your callers Your world was slowly corrupted by these terrible things, and all you can see are those ugly and disgusting things
“Actually, the world hasn’t changed; it has always been like that The thing that has changed is you”
The Red Specter on the other side was a kind-hearted man This was also the first time that Chen Ge had seen a pure and kind person becoainst his previous experience with Red Specters They were norative emotions, desperation and despair
The man had become a Red Specter not because of extreative emotions or resentment, but because of kindness A normal person needed to shoulder the painful pasts of many suicide victims—that was ied to do that Froreater potential than Zhang Ya, but the man did not seem to kno to utilize it
The man did not expect Chen Ge to counter his perspective He looked at Chen Ge straight in his eyes There was a unique type of e in his eyes His calitated “Do you knohy I told you these things, why I chose to share them with you?”
“Why?” Chen Ge had not expected to convince the man with just a feords He knew that a person’s way of thinking was not going to be so easily changed He si all that pain Be it when he was alive or after death, perhaps he could try to find a different way of living
“The phone number that you’ve saved in your phone, that was my operator number The people that you’ve called and talked to, those are the victims that I failed to rescue” The man’s tone and expression became weirder and weirder His facial features sloisted If he had given Chen Ge the i person at the beginning, that sense of humanity had now completely disappeared
“The callers were your test If you did not help thenored their plea for help, then you would have soon joined the legion of shadows behind me” The man hadwas very dangerous
“Looks like I’m quite lucky Does that mean I’ve past the test?” Chen Ge knew that it was not so easy to gain a Red Specter He had spent plenty of energy to convince noret Zhang Ya, he had even sacrificed his happiness for the rest of his life To gain the reward, one had to provide the sa provided by the black phone was an equal trade There was no shortcut or bargain
“You were supposed to communicate with seven callers, but I did not expect you to pinpoint one of the callers’ location just fro that I would not have been able to do”
The e, but his eyes had softened by a lot
“I also did not expect you to risk your life to save soer to you In fact, you rushed to the track and jumped before a train before you could consider whether the person was a huhost Did you consider this? If you were a few seconds slower, then you would have lost your life too”
“Whether it’s real or fake, I would have done the sae my bets, even if I was ninety-nine percent certain that this was a trap For the possibility that a hu to be tricked” Chen Ge’s voice was even but powerful It sounded co to the listener
“Then you’re really an idiot” The man paused, and complicated emotions entered his eyes
“So be it, perhaps I really as before Many people have called otten used to it myself” The atly, “Now that I’ve passed your test, what are you going to tell me next?”
He looked at the Red Specter across the tracks with anticipation His eyes were glowing as he scanned the crowded black shadows behind the htly “Indeed, this has never happened before This number is merely a tool that I used to silence and appease the hatred of the suicide victims I used it to sift out the creeps that dared to mock the dead and then take their lives away You have passed the test, but that only ht to live”
“You’ve used this number to kill?” Chen Ge’s voice turned icy He really did not expect that this number, which had once saved so many lives and represented hope for soa tool to kill The man treated the same number in a completely different manner prior to and after his death This made Chen Ge feel a certain way
“I know that you’ll think that is weird, but doesn’t that fit the wishes of certain people?” A se face “After my death, this number that has saved so many lives was painted by these crazies to be a number that is cursed by the devil Those who called the nuet into accidents and die They even wreathed a horror story aroundtheir stories into reality”
There was no joy of revenge in the man’s voice—it just sounded cold and detached Chen Ge understood the hts He had never wanted to hurt anyone, but he was the one who had ended up being hurt the most Even after death, he could find no peace, if theall that, then soht, Chen Ge slowly spoke “Actually, we are rather si to place ourselves in the shoes of other people, but in the end, we end up losing ourselves”
