“A child that you can’t kill no matter what?” Chen Ge lifted his head, and his gaze passed through the gray foliage to look at the pale sky. Even if he was willing to be that kid’s friend, the kid would still have no friends because he was most likely that kid himself.
“I do not believe there is such a kid in this world. If he really exists, I will be his friend,” Chen Ge answered affirmatively. Then he turned to the girl. “By the way, how do you know he is unable to die no matter how he is killed?”
When Chen Ge asked that question, a very long crack appeared on the clear fishbowl, and the water inside started to leak out. It was worth noting that the clear water inside the fishbowl turned a murky gray color once it leaked out from the crack. The water level lowered, and the blood red goldfish struggled harder. Wounds started to appear on its body, dying the water in the bowl red.
“I have tried to kill him before.” The girl’s voice had completely changed. “I wanted to be him, but once I woke up from my dream, he once again returned.”
“Then, do you know how he managed to do that?” Chen Ge’s heart was racing, but his mind was getting blurry like he was forgetting something very important. However, the most dangerous thing was, he had no idea what he had forgotten.
“Yes…” The girl turned her head to look at Chen Ge.
By then, her face had completely faded away, and a new face was coming to replace it. “How did he manage to do that?”
The icy light fell on them. The two stood at the exit of the woods. The buildings around them were bleeding. On the left side where the girl was standing, the buildings were crawling with black threads that spoke of bad news, while on the right side where Chen Ge was standing, the buildings were dyed red as they crumbled. Fang Yu’s world was almost similar to a world behind a real door, but it still could not resist the destruction from more than ten Red Specters.
After he entered the door, Chen Ge had noticed how different this world was, so he ordered his employees to make their move as swiftly as they could. He knew about Fang Yu’s past, so he had no reason to take things slow. Reality had proved that he had made a wise decision.
“You are the lingering object the ghost fetus left behind this door, aren’t you?”
When Chen Ge first spotted Fang Yu, he had been suspicious of that. If Fang Yu behind the door had really given up all hope, like how this girl was reacting, then the Fang Yu outside the door would not have tattooed Zhang Yi’s name all over her body and waited in the park every night. The real Fang Yu had not given up. To test his suspicion further, Chen Ge had kept asking crucial questions, and his conclusion was that the girl before him was not Fang Yu.
In Fang Yu’s world, other than herself, the only ‘person’ that could speak and had a memory would be the ghost fetus. The girl probably knew that her disguise had been exposed a long time ago, but she did not care. “How can you be so sure that I am not the ghost fetus himself?”
“Even though this world is far more stable than the other worlds, it is still too fragile for a Demon God. It is similar to how you wouldn’t place a shark inside a normal fishbowl.”
Before Chen Ge entered Fang Yu’s world, he believed that he would not find the ghost fetus there. Zhang Yi had given him plenty of hints regarding that. Other than that, if he was the ghost fetus, he would find a normal person who did not have obvious deformity to possess.
The other eight children were all smoke bombs. Even if their worlds behind the door were destroyed, the ghost fetus had only lost part of his power. Only when the time of his birth arrived would the situation change. The girl’s original face had been wiped away, and a baby’s face slowly surfaced. His eyes were closed. His lips, ears, and nose were bleeding, but he did not seem to mind them, as if he could not feel pain.
