Chapter 899 - What Is Hiding in Your Shadow? [2 in 1] (2/2)
The battle between the painter, Chang Wenyu, and the man who controlled the fog reached its climax. This was a matter of life and death; their underlings did not dare dawdle. They tried their best to accomplish their boss’ orders. Even if it was going to add just a fraction of the chance to victory, it would be worth it. Therefore, for the battle on Chen Ge’s side, there were no tests or trials; the battle started with the bloodiest massacre.
The power of the blindfolded man and Lin Sisi was far beyond Chen Ge’s expectations. There was no surprise that they could become the painter’s left- and right-hand men. Both could make use of the school’s consciousness, and each of them possessed extremely scary special powers. The blindfolded man could the see the image of the person before they died, so he could recreate that process of death and turn himself into pure fear and pain.
Lin Sisi’s power was even more unique. His body could morph into a ball of gray smog. No one could see through the smog. The monsters that were dragged away by the fog, be it Red Specters or normal Specters, when they reappeared, would lose their combat ability, and their bodies would be covered in wounds.
Chen Ge had a feeling that the people being dragged into the gray fog were still able to walk out of it alive because Lin Sisi never wanted to kill in the first place. Lin Sisi and the blinded man had unique special powers and completely undid the numerical advantage that Chen Ge’s group had. Thus, the situation was getting worse.
Destroy the leader and the gang will collapse. That was logic that everyone would understand. There was a fatal flaw in Chen Ge’s group, and that was Chen Ge himself. He was just a living person. Even with the close protection of the many Red Specters, it was hard for him to survive in the chaos behind the door. The blindfolded man and Lin Sisi both attempted to approach Chen Ge. As one Half Red Specter after another collapsed in their path, it was finally the Red Specters’ turn.
Most of the Red Specters who followed Chen Ge were already wounded, and the key problem was that other than Xu Yin, there were no other Red Specters who would risk their own lives to protect Chen Ge. There were two enemies but only one Xu Yin.
With the approach of the strong enemy and the collapse of his friends one after another, as well as the continuous red wave that came from the red city that was not far away, the situation was getting steadily worse.
The fight of the three Top Red Specter had not reached its conclusion, but they were already at their limit. The final victor would literally consume everything. Han Song and Yin Hong tried their best to save as many students as they could and protect the students who had been following Chen Ge, to prevent them from being slaughtered by the monsters in the blood fog. The remaining Red Specters, though, all gathered around Chen Ge to stop the blindfolded man and Lin Sisi.
“People like you will never give up until you’re pushed to the gallows.” Lin Sisi morphed into gray smoke. No one was able to stop him, so they turned their attention to focus on the blindfolded man. He felt the pressure and turned to look at the mouth of the well. The monster that was on the mouth of the well chuckled wildly. With his limbs on the rim of the well, he poked his head into the hole.
Just as people were wondering what he was doing, the sound of water flowing came from inside the old well. The sound grew louder and louder, until it sounded like large and powerful waves hitting against the rocky shore. When the monster with four limbs poked his head out from the well again, everyone who saw him had a frown on their face. The monster’s head and body had inverted.
He charged at Chen Ge with a crazy smile, and after he left, many human heads floated out from the old well. They looked like black bubbles.
“What are those?”
A series of strange cackling echoed over each other, and endless inverted monsters with their heads hanging down crawled out from the old well.
“That well hides the biggest secret of the painter. It is an inverted world inside there. This is how human being look like in the painter’s heart.” After Lin Sisi gave that explanation, he charged toward Xu Yin. He could see how much Chen Ge valued this Red Specter. The gray smog surged forth, and Xu Yin was lost inside the smog.
“Xu Yin!” Chen Ge saw Xu Yin disappear inside the gray fog, and it felt like someone had yanked a piece directly out from his heart. The monsters that crawled out from the water well charged at Chen Ge’s team. Most of the Red Specters had been dragged down, and Chen Ge, who was standing in the middle of the battle, appeared to be surprisingly calm.
The situation had truly gotten out of control. The painter had many trump cards that he had not shown, and he was one enemy whom Chen Ge still could not red.
Chen Ge turned to look at the present box that he was carrying in his arms. He took out a candy from the candy bag that was next to the box. It was milky white candy, and it gave off a sweet, alluring smell. However, the human face that was pleading for mercy on it was quite disturbing to say the least. Calling the name silently in his heart, Chen Ge placed the candy gently on his own shadow. The candy dropped onto the ground, but nothing happened. However, Chen Ge’s strange action did manage to attract the attention of everyone around him.
“What are you doing?” Even though he was being attacked by numerous Red Specters, the blindfolded man still had the luxury to observe Chen Ge. This person should be the scariest Specter at the School of the Afterlife behind Chang Wenyu and the painter. Chen Ge did not reply. He took out another candy and placed it again on his shadow.
This time, something changed with the candy. It slowly dissolved like it was being absorbed by something inside Chen Ge’s shadow.
“What is hiding in your shadow?” The man with the blindfold had a very bad feeling. He unleashed a loud, shrill scream, and many monsters crawled out from the old well, charging madly at Chen Ge.
