Chapter 410 - The Spectre’s Heart (1/2)

“Are there any other methods? The only spot that has not been dyed red for Xu Yin is his heart, so I’m sure this is a unique situation, right?”

When Chen Ge was speaking, Men Nan had been staring at him. After confirming Chen Ge did not have the intention to murder him, his expression softened a lot.

“There are indeed other methods, but compared to these two methods, it is more troublesome.” Men Nan only reached the top of Chen Ge’s knees, but he did not sound much different from an adult. “Normal Specters need to attach themselves to something to ensure that they will not dissipate as time goes by; however, Red Specters do not have this concern. The reason is because a Red Specter has a heart.”

“Heart?”

“Or the ghost’s equivalent of a heart.” Men Nan sighed. “Or anger, or vengeance, or resentment, when a certain emotion reaches its maximum, it will become a Specter’s heart. This heart will aid them in leaving the object of possession and enable them to exist in the physical world. The baleful Specter behind you has consumed enough ghosts, but he has not found his ‘heart’. If he can find that ‘heart’, then he can easily become a Red Specter.”

He glanced at Xu Yin, and the young face was filled with confusion. “The Specter you have is mixed with different kinds of emotions. There is despair, pain, regret, and a desire that I cannot understand. It is rare for a ghost to have so many intertwining emotions, and that should be the reason he is not yet a Red Specter.”

Hearing Men Nan say that, Chen Ge realized that Xu Yin was indeed different from other Specters. He listened to his order fully and did not ask for anything in return. At Fang Hwa Apartments, Xu Yin almost sacrificed himself to stop the society’s Red Specter. Chen Ge wondered, why would Xu Yin be so committed? Just because he had once saved him?

It appeared like Xu Yin was forcing himself to believe everything that Chen Ge said; he trusted Chen Ge unconditionally like he was trying to prove a point. Chen Ge could still remember the first time he saw Xu Yin. At the time, he had just been slightly stronger than a normal ghost, and he could not even defeat the thin monster from the society. However, even when he was at his weakest, as long as Chen Ge gave the order, he would follow it without considering the consequences like he was seeking death.

“The greater the pain, the stronger he becomes. Perhaps I’ve been underestimating Xu Yin.” Chen Ge felt like he had a need to have a chat with Xu Yin, but not there. Men Nan’s main persona was very clever. Before he joined the Haunted House, Chen Ge did not want to reveal too many trump cards to the boy.

“The simpler the emotions, the easier one can become a Red Specter. Similarly, when a negative emotion has reached its full potential, one can become a door-pusher.” Men Nan felt like he has said a lot that night, so he waved at Chen Ge. “I still have something else to do, so I won’t be walking you out. See you again.”

“It’s not often that I come to visit, why are you so insistent to chase me away? After all, I did save your life.” Chen Ge walked closer to Men Nan with Xu Yin.

“What are you doing?” Men Nan became alert immediately.
