Chapter 1105 - Too Close (1/2)

With her every appearance, she became stronger than before. Even when facing the enormous ‘Past’ alone, she did not take even a step back. But as her power increased, so did the mystery surrounding her. There appeared to be some kind of connection between her and the red city. The Past’s first attack was neutralized by Zhang Ya. A long wound was left on its body. It was the result from that first attack.

Countless people’s memories were shredded, but Xiang Nuan, who was embedded in the Past’s head, was still looking as confused as ever. His eyes had no soul inside them as if he had no idea what he was doing, but he was unceremoniously staring at Zhang Ya and Chen Ge.

This monster does not feel pain, and it does not appear clever enough to contemplate anything too complicated. Even though it’s powerful, it’s unwieldy and hard to control. Why would the ghost fetus create a monster like this?

The battle went into a stalemate. Chen Ge was situated at the center of the storm, but he was not worried. He was focused on a question that had been troubling him—what was the ghost fetus’ goal? The black phone had told him to prevent the ghost fetus’ birth because once the ghost fetus was born, he would definitely die, but what exactly did the ghost fetus need to do to get born?

Chen Ge failed to deduce the answer from the ghost fetus’ preparation. Be it the broken rag doll or the ‘Past’ above them, they were not the complete version of the ghost fetus.

My once shadow appears to have split itself into multiple versions of itself. It wants to be reborn, so it should need to gather all the split versions of itself back into a ready body.

When Zhang Ya was fighting the ‘Past’, most of the buildings were broken. The walls of the buildings collapsed around them, the crumbled blocks appeared to fall irregularly, but actually, it would seem like they had subtly surrounded Jin Hwa Apartments and Jiu Hong Apartments.

Chen Ge had a very bad feeling. The cursed hospital had a very good chance of knowing the ghost fetus would probably be reborn on this day. They had been waiting for this day to come because they wanted to use the least amount of effort to accomplish their goal. And the ghost fetus itself had escaped from the cursed hospital. It had learned a lot from Doctor Gao. It was not a Specter that was dominated by brute force and hatred. It not only knew how to think, it also had a complete yet twisted and sick worldview. The ghost fetus would anticipate the arrival of the cursed hospital on this day, but it did nothing to stop them.

Chen Ge’s eyes calmed down.

Let’s imagine I am the ghost fetus, and I am hiding behind the door. I have prepared for over a decade for this day, so I definitely do not want any disturbance at this crucial moment. Thus, I must do everything within my power to stop the cursed hospital from entering the world behind the door.

With the rag doll and the ‘Past’ as well as many original tenants, the ghost fetus could already deal with two Demon Gods at the same time before his time of rebirth. With that kind of power, it should not have been hard to him to seal up the blood door, but the ghost fetus did not do it. Be it Chen Ge or the faceless doctor, they did not encounter any resistance when entering this door. It felt like the ghost fetus was purposely letting them in.

Nine children represented nine different powers that were taken away. If it was another person who entered those children’s worlds, most of them would not have been able to resist the seduction of power, like Jia Ming and the cursed hospital. None of them would give up the chance to take part of the ghost fetus’ power. In the face of such rewards, they would enter one door after another until they arrived at Xiang Nuan’s world.

The weakened ghost fetus that they anticipated did not exist, but what they would find were two monsters that rivalled the power of a Demon God. The death of the intruders would return the ghost fetus’ power to him. If everything went successfully, the ghost fetus would have a perfect rebirth. But did the ghost fetus need to undergo such a big risk just to take back the powers that it had lost?

Chen Ge looked at the ‘Past’, which was still growing. The monster blocked out the sky and loomed over the two residential areas. Its shell dragged on the ground, and it had involuntarily joined together with the ground.
