Chapter 830 - Chen Ge’s Choice (2/2)

Chen Ge had a real leap in his thoughts. The members were surprised by his statement. “Are you sure you want to do that? Not only might that fail to get the school’s approval, it might cause them to be reminded of their weak past selves and turn hostile toward us.”

“Human beings are strange creatures. Only when pain is inflicted on them would they understand how painful certain things can be. My choice might not be the best choice, but it is my favorite choice.” He waited for a long time, but there was no reply, so Chen Ge turned around to look at his members. “Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“What you said is different from how you usually act,” Zhang Ju said. “I mean, that does not sound like what a teacher should say.”

“Then it only shows that you do not know me well enough.” Chen Ge placed his hand on Zhang Ju’s shoulder with a smile. “Most people have a demon and an angle in their heart. Whenever they wish to do something, there will be a heated discussion between the two parties, and that will cause hesitation, but it is different for me.”

“You wish to say there is only a demon left in your heart?” Zhang Ju’s ugly pupils stared at Chen Ge. He tried to find the answer from Chen Ge’s expression.

“It’s the exact opposite. The demon in my heart has been locked behind the door; the only remaining one is the angel that is always with me. She will always support me. No matter what kind of decision I’ve made, she will stand behind me.”

“In that case… your angel must have her hands covered in blood, wearing a bloody red dress.” Zhou Tu chuckled. He seemed to have misunderstood something.

“I’m too lazy to explain the details. You only need to know that I have my own way of doing things. And I have no regrets.” Chen Ge stood in the middle of the group. “It’s time to depart. We’re heading to the second floor of the library next. There should be another answer to be found hidden in the mirror left behind by Chang Wenyu.”

“That’s right. Your instincts are very sharp. We can’t stay here too long.” Zhou Tu leaned on Zhang Ju’s back. “The world on the other side of the mirror is the real world behind the door. This place is manufactured by the painter, a home that he created for the homeless children. Of course, you can also see it as a cage.”

Zhou Tu’s body was weakening; he was fading.

“We’ll continue this conversation after we find the mirror. Let’s go.” Chen Ge felt like Zhou Tu’s soul should have been destroyed already. The one leaning against Zhang Ju was just a lingering spirit. When he uttered everything that was captured in his memory, that would be the time he disappeared. There would no longer be Zhou Tu in this world; he would disappear without a trace. Zhou Tu was trapped in the war between Chang Wenyu and the painter, and his body and soul were one of their battlefields. From the ending, it seemed like the painter had won. He had destroyed Zhou Tu, but Chang Wenyu had not lost. After all, she had managed to reveal so many secrets about the painter through Zhou Tu.

There is not one character at this school who is simple, but that is a good thing because the muddier the water, the greater the chance of me being successful.

Chen Ge led the members to the library, and they moved through the brush carefully. They noticed that the doors of the buildings on both sides were all open, like ‘people’ had been going through them.
