Chapter 182 - Doctor Chen (2/2)

“He dared hide my mother’s picture.” The boy raised his head. “Can you give me this picture?”

“Sure.” Chen Ge passed the picture to the boy. He could feel the boy’s hostility toward him had decreased. He squatted down to the boy’s level. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked softly, “Just now, the old man said that this world is your nightmare, and after you wake up, the door that connects this place to the real world will close. Is that true?”

“This world existed before me, and I’m merely the first one who discovered it.” The boy pocketed the picture, and his hollow eyes looked at Chen Ge. “Don’t ask me anything about this world. The more you know, the harder it’ll be for you to leave.”

The boy’s intelligence was disproportionate to his appearance. Chen Ge had just spoken, but he had also figured out Chen Ge’s angle.

“You cannot tell me anything?’

“I can only say that this world is the reflection of human beings’ darkest secrets. It is filled with sin and terror. It is similar to the real world but different, just like day and night.” Then the boy walked out the door. The boy’s red shirt was blinding. It seemed to be dripping in fresh blood.

“I still have two more questions. Don’t move so fast.” Chen Ge rushed forward. He had regained his agility, and the blood vessels that had seeped into his arms and legs earlier seemed to have disappeared.

The boy stopped and turned around. His empty eyes studied Chen Ge closely. “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“I am, but I have some questions that need to be answered.” The appearance of Men Nan’s real persona was meaningful to Chen Ge. “I want to ask about someone. Your second persona refers to him as Doctor Chen.”

“Haven’t heard of him.”

“Your second persona once told me that you returned to the Third Sick Hall because you were invited by two individuals. One of them was the old director and the other was this Doctor Chen.” Chen Ge sounded sincere. “This man is very important to me; he might be my missing family.”

Perhaps the word family had touched the boy. He moved his empty eyes away. “This Doctor Chen is very common-looking but has a special pair of eyes. He’s similar to you, the exact type of person that I detest.”

“That’s all?” Chen Ge was speechless before asking his second question. “This door that connects the two worlds, how can I close it completely?”

“Very simple.” The boy smiled. “Keep a living person behind the door and ask him to guard the door for you.”

“What kind of solution is that?” Chen Ge wanted to ask about the reason behind the appearance of the door, but the boy disappeared in the blink of an eye. “Is he hiding some important information from me?”

Chen Ge was afraid that the boy might get into an altercation with Zhang Ya, so he hurried to follow the boy.

After leaving the room, Chen Ge realized that the boy did not wander far. The boy’s brows were deeply knitted together, and his dark eyes were looking forward.

The red on the old man’s coat had almost faded, and he barely had a human shape left. His remaining body was surrounded by Zhang Ya’s black hair and would disappear in a few seconds.

“Leave me the old man’s body, and I’ll let you go.” The boy was small, but Chen Ge felt the threat coming from his words.

Her finger danced over her lips that were as bright as blood. Zhang Ya did not pay attention to what the boy said. With one leg on the director’s broken body, she turned to look at the boy like she had spotted a new ingredient for dinner.
