Chapter 1109 - The Demon God who Swallowed a Demon God 2 in 1 (1/2)

The giant whale appeared to be wailing. It sounded like it was calling someone’s name, but Xiang Nuan was unable to hear it anymore. His actions became slower and slower until sin covered his entire body. His last shred of consciousness was snuffed out like candle in the night. His lips moved slightly. Xiang Nuan appeared to say something, but no one could hear him clearly.

Everyone watched as the boy’s body gradually assimilated into the shell of the Past, becoming part of the world of the black fog. The last shred of consciousness was consumed by the black fog. The ghost fetus carried all his sin and dispersed into nothingness, leaving behind an island of humanity in the world of the black fog. The sin of this place was so heavy that even the ghost in the black fog did not dare come too close to this place, but the giant and beautiful whale guarded closely beside it. The black fog was corrupting her body, but she did not mind it at all. The giant body slowly swam around the small island, splashing away the black fog that dared to come close to the small island and blocked away the black rain that dropped from the sky.

Chen Ge stood at the rooftop of Jin Hwa Apartments Block A and looked at everything silently until the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and a faded scent of blood drifted into his nostril. Turning his head back, Chen Ge realized that Zhang Ya was standing beside him. She was looking at Xiang Nuan, who had turned into the island, and Wen Qing, who had morphed into the giant whale. The two stared at this scene for a long time until a pale hand poked out from underneath the Past’s blackened shell. The hand was covered in shredded human faces.

The faceless doctor struggled to crawl out from under the shell. His coat of blood had already disappeared, his body was covered in wounds, and the faces that were on the coat had now been transferred to his physical body. He was lucky to have survived this ordeal, but the faceless doctor was still not satisfied. He cursed the ghost fetus under his breath while his eyes kept following the giant whale above his head, unblinking.

“She has not been touched by the influence of sin at all, huh? Has the ghost fetus delivered everything that it has gathered for the past ten years to that woman‽”

The faceless doctor’s eyes were overflowing with greed, but before he could take any further action, an extremely scary presence materialized behind him. He whipped his body around, and the expressions of the broken faces on the faceless doctor’s body all changed. He saw Zhang Ya and Chen Ge were standing near him.

“I know you are targeting the ghost fetus as well. You won’t be able to consume all of the power he’s left behind by yourself, so why don’t we work together?” The faceless doctor was very apprehensive of Zhang Ya. He was seriously injured, and the fact that he was still alive was already in itself a miracle, so he had no energy left to fight Zhang Ya.

“There’s no problem with us working together, but before that, you have to answer a few of my questions honestly.” Chen Ge walked out from behind Zhang Ya. When he noticed that the faceless doctor was still alive, he had gotten Zhang Ya to follow him and take a look. The thing that the ghost fetus had given to Wen Qing, Chen Ge did not wish to take away from her, but he was not going to let this Demon God go so easily.

“What do you want to know?” This appeared to be the first time the faceless doctor had conversed with a normal human being. All the faces on his body focused their scary countenance on Chen Ge. The chilling and eerie feeling gripped at Chen Ge’s heart, but to the faceless doctor’s surprise, Chen Ge did not react in any way toward it.

“The first question, when did you guys start to target the ghost fetus?”

“When he escaped from Jiujiang,” the faceless doctor admitted easily. For someone like him, they would do anything for their lives. “We had close surveillance on him, so we knew basically everything that he was doing. As long as one’s been a patient of our hospital, they will have the hospital’s curse on them. Even if they manage to escape, in the future, one day, the hospital will appear before them again.”

“In other words, you’ve known for a while that the ghost fetus was hiding inside Xiang Nuan?”

“Of all the nine children selected by the ghost fetus, only Xiang Nuan did not have self-consciousness. He almost died during childbirth. The ghost fetus literally protected his life, but at the same time, he took over his life.” The faceless doctor made use of this time to recover. “We not only knew the ghost fetus was hiding inside Xiang Nuan—we also knew that he was destined to fail. No one can bridge the gap between life and death, so we have been waiting for this very last moment to come and recapture our patient.”

“Recapture your patient? Before becoming your patient, he was my shadow.” Chen Ge’s tone made it very difficult to read his thoughts.

“You wish to use that as leverage to claim a greater share? No problem, I only need thirty percent of the power left behind by the ghost fetus. the rest can be yours.” It was unclear whether the faceless doctor was trying to stall for time or really thought that way to try to be on Chen Ge’s good side. Either way, the man was not to be trusted.

“I can give you all the power of the ghost fetus, but I hope you can honestly answer the next few questions that I have.” Chen Ge slowly lowered his head so that no one would be able to see his current expression. “Why didn’t the people from your hospital dare appear that freely in Jiujiang? Is there some kind of secret hidden here?”

“What are you talking about? Aren’t I here now? I do not know how to answer this question of yours.”

“Patient 0004, the ghost fetus; Patient 0011, the doctor; and many more patients have hidden in Jiujiang, but over the past ten years, the hospital did not send anyone to come to Jiujiang to recapture them. It was not until recently that you people dared come into the territory of Jiujiang. I suspect that it is because the thing that you guys were afraid of has disappeared, so there was nothing to hold you guys back.”

Chen Ge used Yin Yang Vision to the extreme. His head tilted up slowly and captured all the expressions of the faces on the doctor.

The faceless doctor did not speak. All the faces on his body were all looking back at Chen Ge. After a few minutes, the faceless doctor finally admitted, “Yes, you’re right. Before this, we were not allowed to enter Jiujiang freely because of a curse, or rather, it was more of a deal. But now that curse has been abolished.”

“It has been abolished?”

“Yes, because the party that created the curse is now dead.” The faceless doctor was also closely following the change in Chen Ge’s expression.

“Do you know the name of the party who created the curse?”

“It was a husband and wife, but as for their names and appearance, these details are only known to the hospital director.” This was not the first time that the faceless doctor had mentioned the hospital director. It appeared like he had great respect and admiration for the director from the bottom of his heart.

“How does one get to meet the hospital director?” Chen Ge asked expressionlessly. No one was able to tell what he was thinking.

“The only known method for now is to become one of the patients, and you will have to be one of the patients ranked in the top ten.” The faceless doctor did not appear like he was lying. He gave it some serious thought before he provided Chen Ge with the method that was most easily achieved.

“One last question, as a Demon God, the ghost fetus was only ranked number four at your hospital. How scary are the first three patients? Tell me everything that you know about them.”

“I am sorry, but the details of the three patients are themselves part of the curse. Once you mention them, bad things will happen.”
