Chapter 400 - He Is... Mine! (2/2)

“Hey!” Chen Ge called at the woman. “I really want to help you.”

The woman could be a great help, so Chen Ge arranged his emotions to come up with a speech that was quite sentimental. When the woman in the tunnel heard what he had to say, she smiled at Chen Ge before turning to jog back into the tunnel.

How come it feels like she is in a hurry to run away? Is she sealed inside the tunnel? The closer she is to the entrance, the bigger the exhaustion?

The tunnel was not as simple as it appeared—the presence of a Red Specter proved that. Under Chen Ge’s gaze, the woman disappeared into the tunnel, and when he prepared to leave, he noticed the white cat was running away from him before finding a hiding spot a few meters away, shivering.

“It’s okay. She has already left. At least we know each other now, so we will have more friends in the eastern part of the city in the future.” Chen Ge walked toward the white cat, but that one step seemed to trigger some bad feeling in the cat. When it saw Chen Ge coming close, it immediately ran in the opposite direction.

Why is it acting this way? Chen Ge also noticed the problem. When the white cat saw the woman in the tunnel, it had not run off. This meant that there was something scarier than the woman around Chen Ge!

Taking a small breath, Chen Ge exited the tunnel cautiously. He did not sense any scary ghosts until he lowered his head to look down at his feet. He froze where he was like his body was struck by lightning. The place where the woman released her hold on Chen Ge was the place where Chen Ge’s shadow fell, and someone had carved a few words in the ground. Each letter was filled with endless bloodlust and resentment. His legs shook involuntarily, and with trembling, pale lips, Chen Ge read out the few blood letters. “He is… mine!”

His breathing became difficult, and Chen Ge glanced at his shadow. He noticed his shadow’s shape was changing like the person hiding in the shadow had sensed something and was forcing herself awake!

“Calm down, Zhang Ya! It’s just a misunderstanding!” Chen Ge did not expect there to come a day where he would need to yell at his own shadow to explain his situation. However, teetering between life and death, Chen Ge did not have much choice. He made the correct choice, using his largest voice and the sincerest words to explain everything that happened. If anyone else saw him like this, they would think that he was crazy.

In the middle of the night, he ran to the tunnel to shout at his shadow.

Chen Ge did not hide anything, and when he provided the explanation, his shadow finally returned to normal. His back was soaked wet, and Chen Ge collapsed to the ground. He swiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed. That pressure is even greater than facing a Red Specter. Zhang Ya seems to have grown stronger.

He looked at the shadow who was recovering and whispered to himself, “It is not a good thing for Zhang Ya to keep hiding inside my shadow. If it stays like this, I will have no free…”

Before he finished, his shadow started to boil again!

The numbness crawled to his scalp, and Chen Ge bit on his tongue. His trembling hand held his forehead, and he chanted in a melancholic voice, “It is not a good thing for Zhang Ya to keep hiding inside my shadow. If it stays like this, my heart will feel very empty. If possible, I wish for her to move into my heart.”

The boiling shadow calmed down instantly. The person in the shadow appeared like she did not expect to hear Chen Ge say that, and she disappeared like she could not deal with the shyness.
