Chapter 1001 - Soundless World (1/2)

The boy was sound asleep in bed. He had no idea about the door’s appearance.

“Compared to last time, the door seems to have gotten closer to the boy,” Men Nan whispered. “Take a close look at it. There is something inside the door that wishes to come out.”

“Could it be the ghost fetus?” This scenario reminded Chen Ge of the door of the School of the Afterlife, but the similarity was limited. For example, the door that appeared by the boy’s bed felt unreal, like it would shatter once touched. There were faded blood vessels moving on the door, but it did not give off an unpleasant feeling. This was what confused Chen Ge the most. He had encountered many doors before, including the door from the School of the Afterlife. Once they appeared, the surrounding atmosphere would turn eerie and dark, with the scent of blood permeating the air, but this door was an exception. It did not feel threatening. If anything, its presence felt like a warning to the boy.

“There are too few blood vessels on the door, aren’t there?” Chen Ge got closer to the door. He only took few steps when the doorknob started to jiggle. It was not that loud, at least not loud enough to wake the boy. When Chen Ge retreated, the door returned to normal.

“It stops me from approaching it, huh?” Chen Ge put down the backpack and signed something at Men Nan. He moved toward the door alone, and this time, the door did not react. “It’s due to the presence of a Red Specter?”

Standing before the door, Chen Ge did something brave. He reached out toward the door. The door was like a lingering spirit. Chen Ge’s finger phased through it directly. “I can’t even touch it… This is the first time I’ve met a door like this.”

He was not sure whether a door would appear next to all the candidates selected by the ghost fetus after they fell asleep. In any case, he did not hear Fang Yu mention anything about this, so this might be unique to Jiang Ming. If that was the case, Chen Ge should pay more attention because it meant there was a high chance ghost fetus was hiding inside Jiang Ming. His fingers wandered on the surface of the door, but he could not touch it. Just as he was about to give up, a chill came from his fingertips. Chen Ge’s fingers at that time were hanging by the doorknob.

“Most of the blood vessels are gathered around the doorknob, so this doorknob is the only thing that’s real or closest to the real thing?”

Tong Tong’s trick could only be used once, so Chen Ge did not want to waste this opportunity. However, he did not dare to push the door open alone. Even though it did not have many blood vessels on it, he was not confident that he could survive behind the door alone.

“Should I take this risk? The black phone said that I will die if I can’t locate the ghost fetus within nine nights. In other words, this period is when the ghost fetus is the least prepared or weakest.”

The chance was before his eyes, and Chen Ge was unwilling to give it up. He slowly retreated.

“Men Nan, hand me the bag. You guard outside the door.”

“You’re going in there like that? Isn’t that a bit too rash? Are you not going to think about it further?”

“The doorknob will vibrate once it senses a Red Specter, and the rattling will wake up the boy. Once the boy wakes up, the door will disappear, so I only have one chance.” Chen Ge looked at the boy in bed. “He’s deaf, but he can hear the rattling of the door. The thing that the boy lost is probably behind this door.”

Taking out the recorder, Chen Ge hugged it in his chest and then took out the broken ballpoint pen and placed it inside his pocket. After his previous lesson, he had learned not to put everything inside his backpack.
