“Number One is unique. He is different from everyone else; he was the first student at this school.” Zhou Tu’s eyes scanned the other members. “In other words, he is a big reason the school is what it is now.”

“When you mentioned the painter, I felt a natural sense of fear. Just the word caused fear to grip my heart.” Zhang Ju’s body was almost dyed red. His face was like melted wax, looking very scary.

“That is a normal response because before you became a monster, you would have met him. You are one of his creations.” Zhou Tu revealed another secret. “Everything that you’ve experienced after you entered the door was personally arranged by the painter, but there was a little accident in your case.”

“How do you know about these things? Didn’t you say earlier that you do not know anything about the painter?”

“Because I am like you. To be more precise, other than the painter himself, everyone is his creation!” Zhou Tu’s words belied his deep-seated fear. “You, me, Lin Sisi, Wang Yicheng, and everyone at this school, we are all the painter’s creations. Ever since we entered the door, we started our lives inside the painter’s script.”

“If it is as you say, then what is the explanation behind the accident that happened to Zhang Ju?” Chen Ge did not fully believe in Zhou Tu yet. This was not because he suspected that Zhou Tu was lying to him, but there were certain things that Zhou Tu would not know about either like Zhang Ya’s existence. The door pusher in Western Jiujiang Private Academy was Zhang Ya, so no matter the case with other people, of the fourteen paintings, at least one would not be the painter’s creation.

“The painter was too careless. He didn’t expect someone to betray him.” Zhou Tu sucked in a deep breath and turned his neck around with difficulty to look at Zhang Ju. “You should have heard of the name Chang Wenyu.”

“Of course, she betrayed her promise and stole my left eye and made me her scapegoat.” Zhang Ju had a bad impression of Chang Wenyu.

“Who she betrayed wasn’t you but the painter.” Zhou Tu’s voice hastened like he was using his last breath to defend Chang Wenyu. “Chang Wenyu was the second person to enter this school and the only person who has successfully escaped this place!”

“What are you trying to say?’

“She used actual action to tell us one thing. Other than following the painter’s script, there are other choices for us to pick. We need to obey not the painter but the real owner of this school.” Veins popped around Zhou Tu’s neck. His physical condition was getting worse.

Since the beginning, Chen Ge had been curious about the school’s owner. After all, they might be a Greater Red Specter. “Can you tell me who the real owner of this school is?”

Zhou Tu looked at Chen Ge deeply and uttered, “We are.”

“We?”

“Yes, all the despair of the bullied is forged into the school’s foundations. After a lost and young soul enters the door, they are combined into a monster that keeps growing.” Zhou Tu pointed at himself and the people around him. “We are inside this monster’s body; we are part of this monster. This place has our memory, but it is also our home and our body.”
