Chapter 1098 - The Black Phones Real Purpose? 2 in 1 (1/2)

“What do you think? Did you find anything?” Wen Qing noticed how strange Chen Ge was acting, which in itself was a strange event. So far, Chen Ge had not been fazed by anything that they had encountered in this world behind the door, while when he was perusing the pages of the diary, the man’s expression had changed many a time.

“I have understood some very crucial things. Everything that we see now is the consequence of an action that was committed a long time ago.” Chen Ge placed Doctor Gao’s doctor inside his backpack, alongside Zhang Ya’s bedtime story. The man’s physical condition was worsening, and he found it very difficult to keep his emotions from running wild. From the Ghost Stories Society to Eastern Jiujiang’s Li Wan City, there had been some kind of connection between the ghost fetus and Doctor Gao. Chen Ge did not quite understand it then, but now he finally apprised himself of the reason behind it.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, the members of the Ghost Stories Society were made up from the patients that have escaped from the cursed hospital. They knew that they were sick, and they were using their own method to cure their own illness. None of the patients at the hospital have their own name; they are referred to by their patient’s number. It was the same for the Ghost Stories Society. Every member had their own number that they corresponded to. There are many more similarities, so from the very beginning, some of the clues have been right before my eyes.

Chen Ge sat on the sofa and held his chin in thought.

Doctor Gao knew the ghost fetus’ name as Chen Ge. So, when I first came to the Ghost Stories Society, he did not make things difficult for me. In fact, he had helped me join the society successfully. That was probably the only chance he had to kill me; even with Zhang Ya’s aid, I would not have been able to handle so many society members at the same time. Is it possible that Doctor Gao still knew some other secrets like the background information of Patients 0001 to 0010? Would his interest in me be related to these ten patients as well?

Chen Ge was contemplating the many questions in his mind when the building started to shake like it had been hit by an earthquake! The aftershock of this occurrence was much more intense than the three times before it, and it lasted even longer.

“Yet another body part of the rag doll has been found in a different building?”

Things started to change inside the building. The stench in the air became more intense. Everyone’s breathing became more difficult, like there was a chain that had started to wrap around everyone’s neck. Many strange noises started to come from outside the building. It sounded like some kind of monster ramming continuously into the walls of the building. Harrowing screams filtered into their ears. Even if they covered up their ears, they could still them clearly. It was as if the screams were coming from inside them.

After the building stopped shaking, the first thing Chen Ge did was take out his own comic.

“The body parts of the rag doll are the foundation of this world behind the door. Now that the foundation has been shaken, it means that the world itself will be unstable, and thus, the limitation on my employees will become smaller.”

Throughout the comic, the pages were bleeding. Every page was crawling with blood vessels, and if one looked closer, one could see many ghastly faces that were trying to surface on the pages. Seeing such a grotesque sight, Chen Ge finally revealed a rare smile.

“It won’t be long now. They are going to arrive soon!”

His tone had an undercurrent of madness to it. Holding the bloody comic, Chen Ge mumbled empathically to himself. A grin that only he would understand hung on his face. Both Wen Qing and Xiao Sun moved subconsciously away from the sofa. They thought that Chen Ge at that moment was rather scary. The presence that radiated off him was no weaker than the monsters behind the door.

“The fourth earthquake was probably the result of the other outsiders. They now know the locations of two of the rag doll’s body parts. Looks like I will have to pick up my pace.”

Standing up, Chen Ge carried his backpack and dragged Doctor Skull Cracker’s Hammer toward the door.

“Chen Ge, why don’t you take a few minutes of rest? You can’t even stand steadily on your feet.” Wen Qing walked over to try to support Chen Ge, but she was rejected by the latter.

“It’s okay. I am fine.”

Walking out from Room 0011, Chen Ge came to the last room on the first floor. The number on the door said 0005.

“Patient 0005?” Chen Ge thought that Patient 0011 would be the limitation of the rag doll’s memory. He was surprised to find the room for Patient 0005 in this building. “Based on the description on the multiple diaries that I have found, the patients numbered one to ten are categorically different from the other patients. But since the room for Patient 0005 has appeared at this place, will the room of Patient 0001 be upstairs?”

His heart started to race like it was going to jump out from his heart. For reasons unknown to Chen Ge, when his mind focused on Patient 0001, the blood in his body would start to boil.

Pushing open the door to Room 0005, Chen Ge entered the room. Every object inside Room 0005 was covered in a layer of blood. The furniture was heavily damaged. There was nothing that was usable or intact inside the room.

“The person who stayed here must have had a tendency to destroy.” Wen Qing carefully stepped around the trash on the ground and walked toward Chen Ge.

“Do not stay too far away from me. The three of us should look around the room to see if we can find any important clues.”

The previous three sickrooms that they had visited had a layer of paint over the walls. Even though there were traces of blood in the rooms, at least someone had attempted to cover them up, but it was completely different for Room 0005. No one tried to cover up the travesty that had happened here. The whole room was black and red in color. Chen Ge took a careful look around. He did not find any diary in the room, but he did notice many small characters that were carved out using fingernails on the walls of the bedroom. Most of the letters had been mixed with the blood, and they looked like they came right out of a scary movie.

“I really do not dare imagine the state of the person’s mind when they wrote these things. This is just madness.” Xiao Sun hid at the back of the group. His worldview had been shattered again and again that night. Now, nothing could surprise him anymore. While Xiao Sun and Wen Qing were both stunned by the markings on the wall, Chen Ge had already walked forward to inspect it. As he carefully cleaned away the stained blood, he started to read the words that were left behind.

“I have started to forget many things. A few days ago, I could still remember my name, but now there is only a number that is left in my head!

“I know my memory is failing me. I am forgetting more and more things, but there is one thing that I will never forget—kill the hospital director!

“I do not know why such a directive has been stuck in my mind, and I do not have a clue as to why I would want to do something like that. Perhaps the hospital director is the reason I am in this state. But what exactly has he done to me? Why can’t I remember anything about it?
