Chapter 1125 - You Deserve a Bigger Stage 2in1 (2/2)
Chen Ge was as confused as he could be. He had not told Xiaosun the location and the method to open the hidden pathways, but Sun Xiaojun had magically managed to open the secret pathway within five minutes of the start of the game and sent the visitors from his team into it. “Is this the power of the cursed seed?”
After hearing the description of what Tong Tong saw, Chen Ge could take a guess at Xiao Sun’s intention. He only had good will in his heart, but the result that he caused was probably something that Xiao Sun himself did not expect. A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest might flap its wing several times, and perhaps two weeks later, a tornado would ransack South America. Xiao Sun was the person with the powerful butterfly effect. The young man himself was a simple-minded person, but it was also this naivete that enabled him to do something incredibly scary with serious repercussion without even intending or knowing it.
“I appear to have underestimated the potential of the cursed seed. No wonder the black phone specifically warned me about him. After all, even the Demon God ghost fetus eventually gave up on Xiao Sun.” Walking out from the building, looking at the black fog that slowly enveloped the whole ghost fetus scenario, Chen Ge did not feel as nervous as before. If anything, a new plan was hatching in his mind. “The cursed seed and the cursed hospital, how come I feel like they are natural enemies of each other?”
Xiao Sun had indeed caused a certain degree of damage to the scenario, but Chen Ge would not blame Xiao Sun because this was his own fault. As the manager, he had to first reflect on his own mistakes. Everyone had a position that was suitable for them; it was the same for Xiao Sun. If Xiao Sun only knew how to destroy and create ill will to both his friends and enemies, then the ghost fetus would not have left him in the world behind the door where he was hiding in.
“It was my mistake for underestimating Xiao Sun’s potential. He deserves a much bigger stage for his talent to shine.”
Walking down the street, Chen Ge continued to move forward. When he arrived at the Haunted Avenue, Chen Ge’s heart skipped a bit. The Haunted Avenue was the only scenario left behind from Yu Jian’s world. Chen Ge also had no idea why this was the only locale that was left from such a large world. Only after some time had he realized that it probably had something to do with Zhang Ya. This avenue was the street that he and Zhang Ya had been walking on in Yu Jian’s world. They walked on this street to go home, and they bade their last farewell on this street. This bus stop had recorded every lovely moment that they had shared.
“The visitors won’t have gone to destroy the words and pictures carved on the platform, right?”
This sub scenario had a special meaning for Chen Ge. He led Tong Tong and the other employees to rush into the black fog. When they passed the bus stop, they only saw a platform that was covered in stained blood and a drizzle of bloody rain.
“The memory with Zhang Ya has not been destroyed, but a big problem appears to have occurred to the red raincoat.”
Chen Ge did not dare stay for long lest something worse happened. Chen Ge hurried to the White Orphanage. He opened the hidden door directly and sighed in relief. Xiao Bu was hiding inside the hidden room at the White Orphanage making blood dolls. This Specter who was from Li Wan City that could unleash the power of a Top Red Specter was not angered in any way.
“Have you seen Sun Xiaojun?” Chen Ge whispered to ask.
Xiao Bu stood up from the red blanket that she had placed on the floor. She put down the doll she was making and shook her head confusedly.
“Then that’s fine. Keep on doing what you’re doing.” Seeing Xiao Bu in this state, Chen Ge wanted to go over to ruffle her hair. Sometimes, Chen Ge would have these illusions about Xiao Bu like thinking she was his own daughter or thinking Xiao Bu was very cute, like Xiaoxiao.
As he was about to leave, Xiao Bu reached out to grab Chen Ge’s sleeve. The girl showed Chen Ge the blood dolls that she was making. The faces of the two dolls kept on changing until they took on a similarity of the two visitors that came from Xin Hai. The male and female stood next to each other, and the man appeared to be talking to himself. “The evil spirits have gone out of control, and blood rain continues to fall. As I expected, no living person can reform the departed, not even their son.”
The man’s expression was chilling as he kept repeating this sentence. The man had probably said something else, but Xiao Bu had only recorded this sentence.
“Xiao Bu, where did you hear him say this?” Sitting back down on the red carpet, Xiao Bu changed into a more comfortable posture. She leaned down lazily in the corner, and her finger went up, pointing at the roof above them. The couple probably did not expect a Top Red Specter to be able to rein in her presence so perfectly and was playing with dolls down in the hidden room at the bottom of the White Orphanage.
“Understood.” Chen Ge nodded and then led the other employees out. Sun Xiaojun had accidentally hit the target this time. There were indeed people with malicious intentions hidden among the visitors, but Xiao Sun had done things that these people would never have the guts to do.
…
The visitors were gathered at the entrance to the cafeteria. Blood rain fell on their bodies. Ma Feng, who had understood the severity of the situation, had Sun Xiaojun walk at the front of the group.
“Earlier, we heard horrible screams again. Fu Bole and Wei Chaochao are both top haunted house designers. What is it that they could have seen that would cause them to scream like that?” Shang Guan Qing Hong had been given a lesson by Chen Ge before, and he was also the first to persuade Ma Feng to leave when they realized that they were not going to enter School of the Afterlife but instead the ghost fetus scenario. Unfortunately for him, Ma Feng was quite a stubborn person.
“You will have to ask him. He was the last person to be together with Wei Chaochao and Fu Bole.” Ma Feng and the other visitors turned to look at Xiao Sun.
“To be honest, I really did not intend to harm anyone, but somehow, things have led to this state,” Xiao Sun said with a bitter smile. “I also have no idea why. Since I was young, whenever I tried my best to do something, every kind of accident will happen. When I was in primary school, my mom promised me that as long as I got a good result in my finals, she would take me to the biggest water park in Jiujiang, and I did the best that I could. But that year, an earthquake happened in Eastern Jiujiang, and the water park closed.
“During secondary school, to help me with my studies, mother bought me a computer. But when it was almost time for the results to be released, a big fire engulfed the school, and the brand of the computer that my mother bought me later went bankrupt.
“I somehow managed to survive all that until I finally got to university. I have a passion for music, but of all my idols, one of them retired from the industry because he was exposed to be a junkie, the second one was forced out of the industry due to humiliation because he was exposed to be a cheating b*stard, and the third one mysteriously disappeared. He still has not been found. I have understood many things. In the end, I quit university to pursue my dreams in music. I did not want to rely on anyone and kept my distance from everyone else, but in the end, I found myself moving into a… Sigh, never mind. I do not want to burden you with my sad story.”
After hearing Sun Xiaojun’s life story, some of the visitors were shocked, but there were also some who thought that he was just making up stories.
The couple from Xin Hai stood at the back of the group. The female’s expression was rather spaced out. She held onto the man’s arm tightly like she was joined at the arm to him. The man was radiating a chilling presence. He kept looking around him and kept stealthily moving the hand that he kept inside his pocket earlier out into the open.
Upon closer inspection, one could realize that there was a deep wound on his palm, and buried deep inside his wound was an eyeball. Lowering his head, the man whispered softly as if he was reporting back to someone.
“Rampage, bloodlust, anger that covered the sky, curses flying everywhere—a Red Specter cannot be controlled fully. Your worry is unfounded. From the opening of this haunted house, who knows how many human souls have been used as sacrifices? The doctor was worried that he’d found another path for himself, but actually, this place is no different from our hospital. It is just the appearance that has changed. The child still has not grown up according to his parents’ expectations. He has already become the version of himself that his younger self hated the most.”
