Chapter 1050 - Red Spectre Zhang Ya [2 in 1] (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

All the illusions faded away. This small town was nothing but a nightmare used to trap Yu Jian. In this nightmare, Yu Jian was wrapped up in a thick shell, and the ghost fetus became his own mother, the person that was supposed to be closest to him. Perhaps the ghost fetus wanted to use this method to get Yu Jian to understand him, to have the boy see the effort that he had made for him. After all, they shared the same perspective and background; they were both ‘monsters’ that emanated evilness from the bottom of their hearts.

The ghost fetus believed that Yu Jian was the same kind of person as him; Yu Jian believed that the ghost fetus could help him accomplish many things. They were like the shark and the remora, feeding off each other and committing multiple crimes.

But one day, Yu Jian found the teacher that would change his life. He started to go against the ghost fetus and violate his order.

When Chen Ge saw Yu Jian trapped inside Du Ming’s body, all the questions that he had so far were cleared up and answered. He was thankful that he did not resort to violence the moment he entered this world. If he had gone against his principles and ruined this small town, he might become one of the bargaining chips the ghost fetus would use to convince Yu Jian. The ghost fetus would definitely have told Yu Jian that everyone had a demon living inside their heart, that it was something normal. Everyone would go for destruction and despair—that was human nature. There was no need to follow what the female teacher said.

The ghost fetus would manage to convince Yu Jian, and if the ghost fetus succeeded, Chen Ge would not only need to face the ghost fetus but also Yu Jian, who was empowered and taken over by the ghost fetus.

“The worst situation has not appeared. My effort so far has not been wasted.” Chen Ge used actual actions to give Yu Jian a lesson that he would never forget. If meeting that teacher was the only stroke of light in Yu Jian life, a light that granted him a glimpse into the real world beyond the despairing mist, then Chen Ge offered him a pair of hands, wanting to pull him out of the devouring mist. The ghost fetus ultimately failed to gain Yu Jian’s approval. Everything he did, if anything, only caused Yu Jian to resist him even further and harder. The black threads that were pulsing with curses crawled all over his body. The ghost fetus could not understand it. The eyes that looked at Yu Jian started to take on the flavor of evil and resentment.

“I’ve treated you so well and given so much to help you, and this is how you treat me?” The baby’s face was twisted. The hatred in his heart was at its maximum. He could not understand why this would be the result after he had done so much for Yu Jian. He kept saying these things like a broken record. It felt as if he had repeated these exact words to another person before. He repeated them again and again. The pressure that pulsed around him became scarier and scarier. Soon, he became more terrifying than a normal Red Specter.

“This isn’t the real ghost fetus, right? Has he been hiding behind this door all along?” Chen Ge could not really tell. One thing that he could not rely on was his luck. After all, during the spinning of the Wheel of Misfortune, he always got the unluckiest prizes. He would always form these unbreakable bonds with unknown Specters and Red Specters.

Yu Jian had lost consciousness, wrapped in layers of curses. Chen Ge was unable to shatter the shell of curses, but leaving him there alone would not be a good idea. After giving it some thought, Chen Ge took out the comic from his backpack. Whether the ghost fetus before him was real or not, he decided to deal with the ghost fetus here and now. This time, he had spent too much time submerged in the world behind the door. His mental state was strained to the maximum. Both of his eyes were bloodshot, and the man himself was about to collapse.

“It’s time to call an end to this.” Flipping through the comic, Chen Ge called the names of his employees. The pages of the blood-stained comic fluttered like a bloody sea. The heavy scent of blood powerfully overwhelmed the horrible stench that previously occupied the room. The Red Specters were fighting the curse inside the teacher’s lounge. Two terrifying forces collided. This sight would have snapped the mind of a normal person.

“Du Ming’s mother is much stronger than the woman from Wu Sheng’s world. They are not even on the same level.” There was no place to hide in the enclosed space. As more and more blood red figures appeared, this curious world took on a sheen of redness. Blood flowed. A pair of pale hands pierced through the cage weaved by the curse and attempted to pull Yu Jian out.

“Xu Yin and Ol’ Bai, I need you two to stay beside me. Temporarily, don’t go anywhere.” He had been calling them for almost ten days before the defense of the world behind the door was broken. As the employees appeared, it also pointed at the final collapse of this false world behind the door. The scenario that was weaved from Chen Ge, the ghost fetus, and Yu Jian’s memories was about to collapse, and it was Chen Ge himself who was going to shatter it with his own power.

“The two of you should go and give it a test.” Chen Ge summoned the Stage Costume Red Specter and the water ghost that he had met in Jiang Yuan Apartments. They had been locked inside the comic for a long time. This was their first time in the open, but the first thing that they saw was the ghost fetus who was getting stronger. The increasingly scary presence added a lot of pressure to the two Red Specters.

“The snail behind Jiang Ming’s world had a tough shell, and it needed the cooperation of ten Red Specters to break through it. The faceless woman behind Wu Sheng’s world knew how to control blood, and she could perform multiple task very well. The ghost fetus behind Fang Yu’s door was very calm and collected; she was an expert at setting traps and controlling curses. Every variation of the ghost fetus behind each door possesses different talents. The ghost fetus before us now has an indeterminate power. I should use the Stage Costume Red Specter and the water ghost Red Specter to feel him out first.”

Chen Ge was very cautious. He had held on for so long behind the door. He would not allow himself to make a careless mistake at the last moment.

“Xiao Bu, watch for the opening and aim for the kill whenever you can!” Of all the Red Specters that Chen Ge had, the strongest one currently was Xiao Bu. After becoming the real door pusher of the door in Li Wan City, this little girl had not really shown her true strength. After all the Red Specters showed up, Chen Ge could not try to communicate with them during the brief moments when they were not fighting. The battle between Red Specters was extremely gory and cruel. They were entities wrapped within layers of resentment. Unless there was a serious imbalance in power level, once they started fighting, no one would be able to pull them apart until one of the parties was killed and consumed.

A Red Specter with rationality and reasoning like Men Nan was an exception.

The water ghost Red Specter and Stage Costume Red Specters appeared before Du Ming’s mother. They had to attack. If they don’t, they would be attacked by Du Ming’s mother. They had no other choice. The Stage Costume Red Specter did not mind it that much. She possessed a great resentment toward the ghost fetus. After all, it was the latter who had forcibly occupied her altar.

The water ghost, though, even thought of abandoning Chen Ge to join the ghost fetus. This was different from what he had imagined.

“Chen Ge, our promise did not include a fight with another Red Specter, right?” He wanted to stay out of it. After all, Du Ming’s mother who was actually the ghost fetus gave him a very dangerous feeling.

“No, it is hundred percent within our promise. Did you not ask me to find the door pusher of the door at Jiang Yuan Apartments for you? The ghost fetus is the door pusher. After you kill him, you will be the real door pusher.” Chen Ge did not lie, or at least, he believed he had not said a single statement that was false before.

“Our promise was that we would kill the door pusher together!” The water ghost Red Specter was only powerful in water. He was unable to gather his full strength on dry land. Soon, his body was cut and wounded by the curse. “Help me! Help me!”

1“That given by others is called charity. That fought for and earned by oneself is called dignity.” Chen Ge kept his eyes on the water ghost Red Specter. The black thread of the curse slipped through the water ghost’s body through the open wounds, and it made its way to his heart. The water ghost slowly lost his rationality. All the negative emotions in his mind were amplified. If this continued, he would turn into a collection of negative emotions that could not be communicated with. Other than hatred, murder, and resentment, he could not feel any other emotions.

“The ghost fetus behind this door can use the curse to corrupt others, huh? To pollute the other Red Specters’ hearts?”

The heart of the Red Specter was the basis for their existence. It was an object crystallized from their last wish and resentment. Chen Ge did not expect the curse of this ghost fetus to be so powerful.

“We need to end this battle as soon as possible! Work together! Be careful of being injured by his curse!”

After getting to know the ghost fetus’ power, Chen Ge stopped holding back. The ghost fetus’ curse was too scary. With this kind of power, if the ghost fetus managed to survive the initial onslaught, after the curse took effect, Chen Ge would lose its advantage in numbers. Red Specters who had their hearts corrupted would destroy everything before them, including their former colleagues and even their boss.

“So far, I have found out so many powers that the ghost fetus boasts. The more I discover, the scarier he becomes in my mind.”

None of the red Specters held back. They attacked at full force. The ghost fetus’ body was mangled and weakened. He barely looked human, but he still hung on for dear life. He did not disappear. The black threads that were hidden in various spots behind the door crawled into his body to help him recover.

“The world behind Yu Jian’s door is helping him?” Chen Ge knew that he did not have much time left. He grabbed the shoulders of the boy who was lying on the ground. “Yu Jian, can you hear me? Your resistance and determination has paid off. I am here to bring you home! Wake up! The mother in your heart is a version that has been maligned by the ghost fetus. She is not your real mother!
