The shadow walked out from the room on the third floor. He spotted a glass marble sliding down the steps. He followed it and came to the ground floor. There was no one around. The shadow carried on alone. He saw the marble enter the toilet and stop before the cubicle. The clock for midnight stopped chiming. The shadow moved to the cubicle. He bent down to pick up the marble but noticed that the door of the cubicle was not closed tightly.
He leaned on the door and looked inside. Everything he saw was red. Holding the marble with both hands, the shadow entered the door. He walked among the redness. Perhaps because of some memory loss, the buildings were blurry. It looked like the mirage of a red city. The shadow lost his way. He wandered aimlessly with the marble until a hand fell on his shoulder. It was a child’s hand, and the fingers were dirtied with black blood. The shadow was jolted from the shock. He slowly turned around, but the image in Chen Ge’s mind ended then.
“The door in the haunted house is connected to the red city? Does the door lead to the center of the red city itself?” Chen Ge was confused. At least now he could confirm that the shadow had entered the world behind the door, and the corruption had probably started after he entered that door. Based on this memory, at least before he entered the door, the shadow was normal. Even though he would leave his host and go play alone at night, it was within an acceptable range. “The shadow ran into a child with bloody hands behind the door. The child is the key to the change in the shadow.”
To turn a normal shadow into a Demon God, just the thought of it was mind-boggling. “Thankfully, I didn’t enter the door when I found out about its problem, or else I’d probably be dead already.”
Fang Yu’s world was collapsing. Chen Ge summoned his employees and picked up the largest fishbowl fragment from the ground.
“Fang Yu?” Chen Ge looked at the red goldfish, and he frowned with consternation. This was his first time dealing with something like this. The world behind the door was a reflection of the door pusher’s memory. If the door pusher had forgotten all her memories and even herself, then what kind of form would she take behind the door? Hearing Chen Ge’s voice, the goldfish wagged its tail anxiously. Its body was covered with wounds.
“I’ll bring you with me for now. If you are really Fang Yu, it can prove something else. There are not only human-shaped Specters behind the door, there are other things too that once might have been human beings.”
With the aid from the Red Specters, Chen Ge held the broken fishbowl and pushed open the black iron door.
“AH!” A scream shattered the peace of the night. As Chen Ge opened his eyes, he saw something flying at him, and he quickly moved to the side to avoid it. The table lamp knocked against the wall. The glass cover cracked into pieces. If that thing had landed on his head, Chen Ge would have been bleeding profusely.
“Calm down!” Chen Ge switched on the light and then opened the bedroom door. The kind auntie had been leaning against the door, eavesdropping. The sudden opening of the door caused her to trip into the bedroom.
“Both of you please calm down! The treatment is already over! The effect is great!” Chen Ge looked at the two confused faces in the room. He walked to Fang Yu’s bedside. “Did you dream about turning into a blood red goldish in a gray and white city? Did you see me there?”
Fang Yu, who finally calmed down, looked Chen Ge up and down. She nodded rather blankly. “I think you appeared in my nightmare.”
“That was the power of hypnosis,” Chen Ge said seriously. “This is the solution that I came up with after giving it much thought.”
“Was it useful?”
“We will find out now.” Chen Ge turned to Fang Yu. “Do you still remember the name Zhang Yi?”
Fang Yu’s expression slowly froze. She grabbed his head with her hands and started to scream like she was going through serious mental trauma. Chen Ge did not expect this to happen. With the help from the auntie, they tried to console Fang Yu. After half an hour of comforting, Fang Yu collapsed on the bed and slept from extreme tiredness.
“She used to suffer from memory loss, but now she has completely lost her mind.” The aunties did not look too happy about this.
“She has managed to remember some details from the past, but she needs some time to readjust to what she has remembered. She needs to slowly accept her past.”
