Chapter 336 - The Start of the Nightmare (2/2)

“Chen Ge?” Fan Yu slowed down. He was surprised, and this was also the first time he had said Chen Ge’s name.

Before he reacted, Chen Ge grabbed them off the ground. “How rude! Call me big brother!”

One in each arm, Chen Ge raced down the village. The same thing happened several minutes ago, but this time, the burden on Chen Ge increased, and the thing chasing him was a Red Specter.

Chen Ge called Xu Yin, Zhang Ya, and the uncle’s name. Zhang Ya gave no response; Xu Yin wanted to help but could not. When Uncle Yan saw the Red Specter, he hid himself immediately.

To drag the time until dawn, Chen Ge purposely ran through the dangerous spots that he could remember. The map given by Ah Qing was immensely helpful. Chen Ge ran through all the spots that were marked by a red cross, but even so, the distance between them and the society’s Red Specter did not increase.

“I cannot run anymore! Is there anything you want to tell me‽” Chen Ge felt like there was a ball of fire in his chest, and his legs were getting numb.

“Uncle, put us down. We can walk on our own.” Fan Yu’s voice lost its usual coldness.

“If you cannot do this anymore, run to the western side of the village and go into the third house on the left.” Jiang Ling’s voice appeared the same time as Fan Yu. However, it startled Chen Ge because the girl’s tone was completely different from before. She sounded like a young woman talking.

The society is right? The Red Specter is hiding inside Jiang Ling? This thought flashed across Chen Ge’s mind. He had been hiding next to the well, so he knew what had happened.

“Okay! We’ll go that way!” He changed direction and raced to the third home. “What now‽”

“Go in the house and place me before the door to the left bedroom.” Jiang Ling’s voice was becoming weird.

Chen Ge kicked open the wooden door to enter the inner room. There was no coffin in this home and no furniture either. Even the walls were peeling. There was no time for Chen Ge to consider why. He placed the girl on the door of the left bedroom and then collapsed to the ground. He had raced throughout the village with all his might. Even if he was made of steel, he could not run anymore.

A wicked laugh echoed outside the house. The faces squeezed through the front door. The Red Specter had arrived.

“I know who has been kind to me. After we deal with this thing, I’ll thank you personally.” Jiang Ling looked at Chen Ge as she bit on her thumb. She allowed the blood to soak her palm. “I just want to be a human, why is that so hard?”

She leaned lightly against the wooden door. When her body touched the door, the simple door started to get covered with a thick layer of blood.

“It was me who left this layer of blood; this home was the start of my nightmare.”

Jiang Ling pushed the wooden door open, and there was a blood red world behind it.
