The sudden appearance of the man turned the situation tense. Chen Ge’s group stood where they were, and no one dared take another step.

“You are more willing to trust the ghosts behind the door than the living human from outside the door?” The figure slowly lifted his head to reveal a pair of curious eyes. His right eye was no different from that of a normal person, but his left eye was red like an eye ball soaked in a can of red paint.

“Chang Gu.” Chen Ge’s lips moved to utter the name of the person whom he had never expected to show up there.

“I know you have many questions now, but I do not have the time to explain them to you. You only need to understand that I am on your side.” Chang Gu raised the backpack that he was holding. “I believe this is yours.”

Chang Gu was holding the backpack that Chen Ge had taken with him from the haunted house. The zipper had been opened, but everything was inside where it should be.

“Why would you have my backpack?” Chen Ge took one step forward.

“Don’t go over there!” Zhang Ju stopped Chen Ge. “He is not part of my memory; things have changed.”

Chang Gu heard Zhang Ju’s voice as well, and his lips curled into a smile. “You sure are popular. You can make friends no matter where you go.”

Stepping aside to let them pass, Chang Gu glanced outside the reading room, and he spoke faster. “It was my sister who gave me your backpack. She told me you would come here eventually.”

“Chang Wenyu?”

“Yes, she will help you escape the school, but the premise is that you have to promise to work with her.” Chang Gu put down the backpack. “That is why you have shown up here, is it not?”

“It was Chang Wenyu who dragged me inside the door? Did the two of you work together to con me?” Chen Ge’s habit was to see thing was the worst perspective. He thought back to how he had been dragged into the door at the hospital. The arm that reached out from behind the door had been slender and soft. Indeed, it had looked like the hand of a girl.

“I’ve only just found out many things as well, so technically, I didn’t con you. At least, I didn’t mean to.” Chang Gu looked much better than before, at least one decade younger.

“Tell me, how does she expect me to work together with her?” Chen Ge felt like there was no one that he could trust in the school; everyone was out for themselves.

“There’s no need to use such an unwilling tone. She is trying to save you. This school is far more complicated than you thought. Without her, you will never wake up.” Chang Gu walked toward Chen Ge. “We are friends who share the same goal, friends who know each other.”

Zhang Ju and Zhu Long guarded Chen Ge while studying Chang Gu.

“What do you want me to do?” Chen Ge did not like twists and turns, especially when they were in such a dangerous place.

“The painter is about to become the new door-pusher, and when that happens, all the souls behind the door will be trapped here forever, living in this paradise created by the painter.” Chang Gu did not stop moving; he was very close to Chen Ge.
