The shadow was very weak. He would avoid a Half Red Specter, much less a Red Specter. To put it plainly, he was at the bottom of the pyramid at this school. He had forever been pinned to the wall, unable to move, unable to speak, just a stain on the wall.

Indeed, compared to the other monsters at the school, the shadow was just like a small stain. No one would give him any thought, and no one would have faith in him, least of them all himself.

“We’ve made too loud a commotion—we need to leave this place immediately.” Chen Ge went forth to remind the shadow since the latter was still standing there. The shadow was like an orphan who had seen his parents for the first time. There was a bestial element to his nature, but he did not know how to get used to it.

“There will come a day for every mammal to be weaned from its mother’s teat. If you don’t eat others, you’ll end up being eaten by others.” Chen Ge patted the shadow’s shoulder. His hand once again phased through the shadow and fell on his chest. “No one is willing to grow up, but you have to understand that you cannot stay a child.”

These words were meaningful to the shadow. The latter’s body shook. His hands held the heart that looked like a red ruby before swallowing it whole!

“Hey!” At that moment, the shadow seemed to lose his rationality. His spectral nature compelled him to consume the heart.

“This is bad. That girl should be slightly more powerful than the shadow. He will go into hibernation since he has just consumed the heart of a ghost who is more powerful than he is.” Chen Ge knew about the shadow’s potential, but even with that unique potential, he was not going to be more powerful than Zhang Ya. After Zhang Ya consumed a Red Specter, even she had to go into hibernation. There was no exception.

“Why are you acting so recklessly‽” Chen Ge had just found himself a helper, and now said helper was going into hibernation. This gave hm quite a headache. His original plan had been to split the red heart into several parts so that the shadow would still grow but not go into hibernation.

Just by swallowing the heart, the shadow’s size doubled. He held his head in both of his hands. He pulled on his lips and face madly like he was trying to tear his face apart. Chen Ge could see that the shadow was in great pain, but he did not know how to help him.

“Calm down. If you really cannot consume the other party, accept her—accept her power and carry out her dying wish, help her complete her dying hope!” Chen Ge yelled loudly. The shadow finally reacted. He walked to the tree hole, squatted down, and reached both of his hands into the hole like he was looking for something.

“Something is not right. Even for Zhang Ya, when she consumed a Specter from the same level, she entered hibernation in a very short time. This guy has held on for so long. Is it because of his own uniqueness, or are the ghosts at this school different from the ghosts outside?”

The shadow dug for a long time before retrieving a rusted knife from inside the tree hole.

“Is this the weapon that killed the girl? Has her spirit been lingering on this murder weapon?”

Normally, a Specter’s item of possession was related to the item important to their life. The girl’s item of possession was most likely the weapon that had killed her, which also meant that the driving force to her lingering after her death was revenge.

The shadow’s body doubled in size. He held the knife and stood before Chen Ge. The twisted arms waved up and down like he was trying to say something. Several seconds later, the shadow crawled into Chen Ge’s shadow, and the knife fell before him.
