Chapter 1126 - Patient 101 2 in 1 (1/2)

The male visitor from Xin Hai kept his head lowered as he quietly moved his palm around the surroundings as if he was letting the eyeball hidden deep inside the wound of his palm observe the set pieces around him. The black fog with the curse drifted freely, and the blood rain filled with malice and hatred slid down the ceiling. Everywhere, one could see haunted faces that pleaded for mercy as they desperately tried to escape. This was a perfect scene lifted right out from the apocalypse.

“If it is as you guys predicted and all the specters are staying at the haunted house willingly, then why are all the lingering spirits in the black fog crying and shouting for release from this place? I suspect this haunted house is using the Red Specters to enslave the other lingering spirits and baleful Specters. He’s using part of the visitors’ souls as bargaining chips to trade with the Red Specters. After the Red Specters consumed the fear and feelings of the visitors and they were sated, the man used these Red Specters to stabilize the weaker ghosts through brute force. This kind of brusque and under-handed method is even worse than ours.”

The eyeball in the wound on the man’s palm turned several times. The eye appeared to have seen everything it wanted to, and it silently sank deep into the man’s flesh. Then the wound slowly recovered on its own, leaving behind only a bloody thin scar.

“Why would the doctor think that people have the capability of reforming Red Specters? How could these monsters that feed solely on negative emotions and were formed from hatred, pain, and despair be reformed? They hate everything that is good and valuable in this world, and their favorite pastime is destroying everything that is bright and positive.”

Lifting his head up, there was a trace of excitement that crossed the man’s eyes. Looking at the ghost fetus’ scenario that had sunk into chaos, his thin lips slowly curled into a malicious smile.

“This is what a haunted location should look like. The boy that once was has probably been drawn way too deep into the abyss of darkness. He is unable to separate himself from enjoying the sin on this side of humanity anymore.”

The man grabbed his girlfriend’s hand. The latter was like a puppet without a soul. They stood at the back of the group, and the man used a kind of gaze that was filled with pity to look at the other visitors who were still trying their best.

“A ticket price of forty RMB is honestly not that expensive, but the real cost of visiting this haunted house is not the money but your own life. When they leave this place, perhaps something else will have possessed their bodies, and then they will die from some kind of ‘accident’. No one will even think of linking their misfortune to this visit to the haunted house, and no one will even help them report their deaths to the police. These are things that the hospital has done in the past. Hahaha. The dragon-slayer has eventually been corrupted to become a dragon. It is only inevitable.”

The male visitor from Xin Hai appeared to have obtained the information that he needed already, so he prepared to leave. This place made him feel incredibly uncomfortable, so the plan was for him to quietly sneak away before he was exposed. “The doctor should have continued my medication after I have risked so much to enter the tiger’s den to provide for them such valuable information, right?”

At that moment, the male visitor was only thinking of himself. He had no intention of warning the other visitors of the supposed dangers inside Chen Ge’s haunted house. The distance between this couple and the larger group of visitors gradually widened. When Ma Feng and the rest’s attention was placed on Xiao Sun, the two of them turned and walked away directly.

The black fog thickened by the second. The man’s eyes swept over the flickering human faces that appeared on the wall. He seemed to have been reminded of his former self, but there was no sign of pity in his eyes. If anything, they were filled with deep-seated disgust and condescension. Hurrying his foots, when the couple walked past the White Orphanage and came to the Haunted Avenue, they slowly noticed that something was not right. The screaming human faces in the black fog had disappeared, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. It felt like something scarier than the ghosts was hiding inside the black fog, and the presence of this threat prevented the cursed human faces from daring to cry out loud for mercy. They were too scared to do so.

“Have I been exposed?” The man yanked his girlfriend before him. He used his fingernail to scratch open the wound on his palm as if trying to communicate with that eyeball. But before he could summon and awaken that eyeball, a figure slowly appeared from the black fog. He was wearing a uniform that was tattered and covered in blood stains, and his face was covered in very light make-up. The make-up was expertly applied so that it enhanced the handsomeness of the man’s facial features, but as the man looked longer, he realized that it was a face of a dead man that was staring back at him. A very bad feeling arose in the man’s heart. He hid one of his hands behind his back and adjusted his expression so that he looked no different from the other normal visitors.

“Honey, be careful.” He acted like he was trying to protect his girlfriend, but in reality he was using the woman as a human shield. Away from view, strands of black threads were crawling on his arms to travel into the woman’s body like worms. The man in the fog finally walked to stand before them. When the face could be discerned clearly, the man’s nervousness only hiked up further. To cover up his anxiety, he volunteered to speak first. “It is so rare to see the boss entering the scenario himself. Your haunted house is so famous, but the number of employees is so low.”

“The number of employees here is not low, but I would not mind someone lending me ‘a hand’.” Chen Ge stood before the couple. The woman’s expression was no longer as spaced out as before. As if a puppet coming back to hug, she hugged the man’s arm with clear apprehension on her face.

“Looks like the two of you have worked out the argument. Inside the haunted house, you can experience fear that you will not have the chance to experience outside of this place. When facing the danger together, you will be able to tell for sure whether a person is truly reliable or not. Therefore, if you want to tell whether your partner really cares about you or not, bring them on a trip to the haunted house,” Chen Ge said with a smile, revealing his white, shiny teeth. He flipped through the comic in his hand as he casually walked past the couple.

The man’s heart kept on racing until Chen Ge walked past him. His heart practically dropped down to his stomach, and his eyes became as wicked as before. He had no idea why he was so afraid of Chen Ge, but he did not dare to show it in person. He only dared to silently curse the man in his heart. He lifted his feet. Just as he was about to move away, his palm suddenly started to leak with blood!

The eyeball that was hidden inside the wound was spinning wildly out of control as if urging him to leave as soon as possible. The man still did not notice that anything was wrong. Chen Ge, who had just brushed past him, suddenly stopped moving. He turned around and stared at the male visitor with a smile.

“As I mentioned earlier, when facing danger together, you will be able to tell for sure whether a person is truly reliable or not. So, have you faced any real danger today?” The maddening tone, the horrifying smile—after Chen Ge finished that sentence, one baleful Specter and Red Specter after another walked out from the black fog.

Only then did the man realize that Chen Ge had kept all of the Specters inside the comic. When he walked past him earlier, he had been casually ‘dropping’ one Specter after another along the way, and the male visitor found himself surrounded by multiple baleful Specters and Red Specters. The man had focused all of his attention on Chen Ge, so he did not realized that he had fallen into a trap until this very last moment.

This man is too vicious and cunning!

The man lowered his head to look at his palm. Urgency and desperation were plain in his eyes, but to his consternation, just as he turned his focus to his palm, the eyeball in his palm imploded on its own. The blood slid down his wound. The man stood stunned for quite some time on the spot. Only moments later did he realize that he had already been abandoned. The hospital had already obtained all the information that they wanted. To prevent the man from exposing more secrets about the hospital, they actively shattered the eyeball and cut off all the possible clues that might lead back to them.

The decision was surprisingly cruel and resolute; everything was probably planned before the man was sent into Chen Ge’s haunted house. Now that eyeball had shattered, the man had lost all his back up. His support had been cut off. Cold sweat kept pouring out from his forehead.

What do I do now?

Surrounded by multiple baleful Specters and Red Specters, he was not used to this kind of ‘special treatment’.

Since the eyeball had abandoned the man, all he could do was find a way to save himself. Fighting Chen Ge head on was a way to death because he knew Chen Ge was being protected by a Demon God, so the only chance of survival that he had was his identity as a normal visitor. Many witnesses had seen him walk into the haunted house, the image was captured by the cameras, and the other visitors of the same group all knew of his presence. If he suddenly disappeared without a trace, the other visitors would notice. All he could bet on now was that Chen Ge did not dare commit a murder directly inside his haunted house.

He had transformed part of his consciousness inside the curse and hidden it deep inside his brain. This way, even if Chen Ge had another Specter take over his body, he still had a chance of survival. These things were taught to him by the cursed hospital, but it was a Hail Mary solution; it was something that he would not use until he was sure there was no other solution.

“Boss Chen, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly call over so many employees to come after me and my girlfriend? Have we done something to anger you?” The man pulled out the phone from his pocket and switched on the video-recording function. He aimed the camera at the man and ghost around him. “I will have video evidence if you dare lay a finger on us!”
