Chapter 1002 - Absurd World Made from Memories (1/2)
“He is a literal representation of ‘as drunk as a pile of mud’.” Chen Ge stared at the slowly approaching monster. He pressed on the recorder and called Xu Yin’s name. To his surprise, Xu Yin did not show up, but the whole apartment started to bleed, and small cracks appeared on the wall. After communicating with Xu Yin, Chen Ge found that he was stopped by some unknown force. He was trying to break through it, but he needed some time.
“When I entered the door behind the underground morgue, I ran into the same situation, but this place is no match at all for Doctor Gao’s underground morgue.” Placing the recorder back in his bag, Chen Ge took out the hammer and stood in the corridor. “There is no need to run and hide.”
The scary-looking hammer grated on the peeling wall. When the monster got close enough, he aimed right at the monster’s arm. The bottle that grew out of the arm shattered, the glass shards flew everywhere, and some embedded into the monster’s body.
“Can we communicate?”
The monster could not feel pain. Even though his arm was broken, he moved faster. After he got close to Chen Ge, he reached out his other arm to grab Chen Ge’s head, trying to slam into Chen Ge.
“Looks like the thing is not sentient.”
Holding the hammer with both hands, Chen Ge swung it vertically on the monster’s chin. The already malformed head was almost blown off the rest of its body. It was attached to the neck by a thin layer of flesh. The smell of alcohol thickened. After the monster was injured, it became uglier and more aggressive. While Chen Ge was contemplating how to deal with this monster, he felt a chill coming from behind him. He turned his head slowly.
The rental doors on the side had been opened, and several twisted looking monsters appeared silently behind Chen Ge. They were very close to him!
“The original tenants behind the door will not make any sound no matter what happens. They can hear me, but I can’t hear them.” He thought about it and realized that was exactly what Jiang Ming was experiencing. He was deaf, so no matter what other people said, he could not hear them, but if he made any sound, the people around him would react to him immediately. “So, I am taking Jiang Ming’s perspective in this world?”
This was the first time that Chen Ge had encountered such a strange world behind the door. He felt troubled. The enemies could approach him silently, and they were hard to kill, but if he made the smallest sound, the enemies could hear him.
“I’ll deal with this one before me first.” After the drunkard was injured, his face had become as red as blood, and thick capillaries had puffed up on his face. He became more violent. The arm attached to the bottle waved around, and Chen Ge realized that the arm would join itself to whatever it came in contact with.
“The world behind the door is weaved from Jiang Ming’s memory, so this man should be an important character in his memory. A violent drunkard that exploded when resisted and would grab anything nearby to start attacking.” Chen Ge looked at the drunkard and stared into that ugly face. “This is such a horrible human being!”
Raising the hammer, Chen Ge aimed it heavily at the monster’s head. The hammer sank into the monster’s shoulder, and he gave him another kick. Chen Ge gave no chance for the monster to react. He hit him repeatedly. “If he can still stand up after this, I’ll have to consider something else.”
