All illusions have faded, and this town is nothing more than a nightmare used to imprison Yu Jian.
In this nightmare, Yu Jian was wrapped in a thick shell, and the ghost fetus became his closest mother.
Perhaps the ghost fetus wanted to make Yu Jian understand him and his good intentions in this way. After all, they once had the same values and were both "monsters" who exuded malice from the bottom of their hearts.
Mingtai felt that Yu Jian and he were the same kind of people, and Yu Jian felt that Mingtai could help him do a lot of things. They once hit it off and committed countless crimes.
But one day, Yu Jian met the teacher who changed his life. He began to disobey the words of the ghost fetus and resist its orders.
Chen Ge looked at Yu Jian who was locked in Du Ming's body, and he understood all the problems.
He was very glad that he did not resort to violence right from the start. If he had gone against his principles and wantonly destroyed the town, he would likely have become Mingtai's bargaining chip to persuade Yu Jian.
The ghost fetus will definitely tell Yu Jian that there is a devil living in everyone's heart, which is normal and everyone will do such things. There is no need to do what the female teacher said.
Once the ghost fetus successfully convinces Yu Jian, Chen Ge will not only have to face the ghost fetus, he will also be targeted by Yu Jian.
"The worst situation did not happen. My patience was rewarded." Chen Ge taught Yu Jian a lesson with his actual actions. If Yu Jian's encounter with that teacher was a ray of light in his life, allowing him to see the real world outside the fog, then Chen Ge was a pair of hands grabbing him, trying to pull him out of the quagmire.
The ghost fetus ultimately failed to gain Yu Jian's approval. Instead, all his efforts only caused Yu Jian to resist even more fiercely.
Black curse threads were surging throughout his body, and Mingtai couldn't understand it. Resentment slowly began to appear in his eyes as he looked at Yu Jian.
"I've been so good to you and helped you with all my heart, but you treat me like this?" The baby's face was distorted, and the hatred in the baby's heart reached its peak. He couldn't understand why the result was always like this when he had given so much?
The words he kept saying seemed to have been said to someone before. He repeated them over and over again, and his aura became more and more terrifying, soon surpassing that of an ordinary red-clothed man.
“Could this thing be a real ghost fetus? It’s hiding behind this door?” Chen Ge was unsure. He himself had bad luck, but that was under normal circumstances. In some abnormal and special circumstances, such as when drawing rewards, he always had an inextricable connection with evil spirits and red clothes.
Yu Jian was unconscious and wrapped in layers of curses. Chen Ge had no way to get him out. Leaving him here alone might cause trouble.
After thinking it over again and again, Chen Ge took out a comic book from his backpack. Regardless of whether the ghost fetus in front of him was real or fake, he decided to get rid of it here.
This time, immersed in the world behind the door, his mental state has reached its limit, his eyes are red, and he is on the verge of collapse.
"It's time to end it."
Flipping through the comic book, Chen Ge called out the names of his employees. There seemed to be a tide of blood flowing in the bloodstained comic book, and a pungent smell of blood overwhelmed the strong stench in the room.
The red-clothed ghost and the most vicious curse confronted each other in the office. The two forces that were terrifying and terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people collided with each other.
"Du Ming's mother is much stronger than the woman in Wu Sheng's world. They are not even on the same level."
It is impossible to hide in the narrow space. As blood-red figures appear one after another, this strange world is dyed a shocking red.
Blood was flowing, and a pair of pale hands pierced through the cage woven by the curse and grabbed Yu Jian out of it.
"Xu Yin, Lao Bai, you two stay beside me, don't go over there for now."
After calling for ten full days, the barrier of the world behind the door was finally broken. With the appearance of the employees, this false world could not exist for much longer.
The scene woven together with the memories of Chen Ge, Ming Tai and Yu Jian is about to collapse, and Chen Ge wants to destroy his own dream himself.
"You two go and try it out first." Chen Ge called out the red-clothed costume he found in the virtual future park and the red-clothed water ghost in Jiangyuan Community.
They had been trapped for a long time and rarely came out. They didn't expect that the first thing they saw was the darkening fetus. The rapidly rising aura of terror made the two men in red feel a lot of pressure.
"The snail behind Jiang Ming's door has a hard shell, and it takes ten red-clothed people working together to open it; the faceless woman behind Wu Sheng's door can control blood and water, and can do nine things at once; the ghost fetus behind Fang Yu's door is very calm, and can control curses and set traps; the ghost fetus behind each door has different abilities. The ability of this guy in front of me is unknown, so it's better to test him with the costume red-clothed and the water ghost red-clothed first."
Chen Ge was very cautious. He had been behind the door for so long that he would never allow himself to have any problems at the last moment.
"Xiaobu, watch the opportunity and be ready to strike at any time!"
Among the red-clothed people around Chen Ge, the strongest one right now is Xiaobu.
Since becoming the real door-pusher of Liwan Town, this little girl has not yet displayed her full strength.
All the people in red appeared, and Chen Ge could only give them a few simple instructions before they took action.
The fight between the red-clothed devils was extremely bloody and cruel. They were all entangled in deep resentment. Unless they were crushed by absolute power, once they started fighting, it would be a fight to the death and no one could pull them apart.
Of course, except for people like Men Nan who are very rational in red, he is an outlier.
The water ghost in red and the one in red costume appeared in front of Du Ming's mother. They had no choice but to go ahead.
The red dress in the costume was fine. She was full of hatred towards the ghost fetus. It was the ghost fetus who forcibly occupied her shrine.
The water ghost in red clothes even thought of surrendering to the enemy, which was completely different from what he had initially thought: "Chen Ge, it seems that the agreement between us does not include fighting with other red clothes, right?"
He wanted to struggle. After all, the ghost fetus pretending to be Du Ming's mother gave him a very dangerous feeling.
"This is the agreement between us. Didn't you ask me to help you find the person who pushed the door of Jiangyuan Community? The ghost fetus is the person who pushed the door. As long as you kill him, you will be the owner of that door." Chen Ge did not lie, at least he did not think he had told a lie.
"We agreed to kill the door pusher together!" The water ghost in red was very strong in the water. He couldn't use his abilities here at all, and soon he was scratched by the curse: "Help me! Help me!"
"What others give is called alms, what you fight for yourself is called dignity." Chen Ge stared at the water ghost in red clothes. The thread of curse entered the water ghost in red clothes' body through the wound and crawled towards his heart.
He gradually lost his reason, and all the negative emotions in his heart were aroused. If this continued, he would become a collection of resentments that could not be communicated.
There are no emotions other than hatred, loathing and killing.
"The ghost fetus behind this door can actually use curses to erode obsessions? Pollute the heart of the red-clothed man?"
The heart of the man in red is the foundation of their existence and the crystallization of their obsession. Chen Ge did not expect that the curse of this ghost fetus would be so terrible.
"Quick and decisive! Attack together! Be careful not to get hurt by it!"
After figuring out his abilities, Chen Ge didn't dare to hold back.
The curse of the ghost fetus is too terrifying. With such power, if the ghost fetus is allowed to survive the initial period of time, after the curse takes effect, Chen Ge and his team’s numerical advantage will no longer exist.
The red-clothed ghost with a polluted heart will tear apart everything he sees, no matter if it is his former colleague or Chen Ge, the owner of the horror house.
"Now I have tested several abilities of the ghost fetus. The more I understand him, the more terrifying I find him."
All the men in red did not hide their strength and attacked with all their might. The body of the ghost fetus instantly became incomplete. He was no longer in human form, but he still did not disappear.
Black threads hidden in various parts of the world behind the door continued to flow into his body, helping him recover quickly.
"The world behind Yu Jian's door is helping him?" Chen Ge knew he couldn't delay any longer. He grabbed the boy's shoulders and said, "Yu Jian, can you hear me? Your persistence has paid off. I'm here to take you home!"
"Wake up! The mother in your mind is the ugly transformation of a ghost fetus. She is not your real mother!"
"Have you really given up on this world? Don't you want to take another look at your teacher? There are many people like her in this world. The ghost fetus only allows you to see the darkest side. In fact, darkness always exists because there is light!"
As if he heard the word "teacher", Yu Jian's eyes blinked and his brows slowly frowned, as if he had dreamed of something bad.
"Yu Jian, if you really feel that you have found love, then don't sink behind the door, don't let her be sad, use all your strength to change yourself." Chen Ge picked up Yu Jian and punched him hard in the face: "Cheer up! Maybe she is waiting for you too!"
The sunken flesh slowly recovered, Yu Jian's eyelids trembled a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
Chen Ge picked up the phone on the ground and placed the photo on the screen in front of Yu Jian: "Live seriously, get over the past, and go see her if you have the chance."
His confused eyes gradually focused, and the things that had happened in the past came to mind. Yu Jian held the broken phone in both hands, and his expression was no longer numb.
Chen Ge took off his coat and put it on Yu Jian. This child has a strong sense of self-esteem, but he was wearing nothing in the world behind the door. This may also represent a certain psychological state he had in the past.
"The ghost fetus is attached to you, constantly leading you towards the abyss. It blocks all light, leaving you with only darkness and despair. Fortunately, you finally met that teacher."
"Teacher Zhang..." There was a glimmer of light in Yu Jian's eyes. The connection between the ghost fetus and the world behind the door was getting weaker and weaker, and he could no longer gain strength from Yu Jian's world.
"Yu Jian!" The body of the ghost fetus was incomplete and covered with wounds. It screamed fiercely: "I was the one who accompanied you when you were the most lonely! When your father abandoned you and your mother blamed you, I was by your side! When the adults quarreled and cursed, and fought to get rid of "love", I was protecting you!"
A harsh voice came out from the mouth of the ghost fetus. He no longer pretended to be Du Ming's mother and talked about the things that happened to him when he was parasitic on Yu Jian.
Yu Jian seems to be an illegitimate child. His mother fell in love with a married man. His parents' quarrels and the gossip among neighbors led to Yu Jian's distorted understanding of "love" from the beginning. Coupled with the deliberate guidance of the ghost fetus, Yu Jian gradually lost the ability to love.
"He's not protecting you. He just wants you to become his tool, a machine that doesn't know how to love." Chen Ge protected Yu Jian behind him: "If you still have the memory of the time after I entered the door, you can think back carefully about what love is and how to truly love someone."
The ghost fetus could no longer get help from the world behind Yu Jian's door. At this moment, he looked hideous and crazy. Compared with the physical pain, he was more annoyed by Yu Jian's attitude towards him.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the unborn baby, Yu Jian pursed his lips, slowly raised his hand, and finally slowly put it down.
"Yu Jian, Yu Jian!" The body of the ghost fetus was completely torn into pieces by the ten people in red. All the black threads were submerged in blood. The ghost fetus pretending to be Du Ming's mother disappeared, and only a watercolor painting hand-painted by a child remained on the ground.
A family of three stood happily in front of the haunted house. There was a fiery red sun painted in the sky, green trees were planted on the roadside, the family members were wearing bright clothes, and the haunted house behind the three people was also made of various colors.
This painting was drawn by Chen Ge when he was a child. His name was written crookedly next to it. It seemed to be a homework assigned by the teacher at that time, to draw a picture with home as the theme.
"Is this painting in the hands of the ghost?" The painting in front of him was ordinary. Chen Ge looked at it for a long time before he found something unusual. There was an extra part in the painting that was not in his memory.
The family of three stood happily in front of the haunted house. The fiery red sun shone in the sky. Behind the little man representing Chen Ge, someone added a small shadow.
"shadow?"
Chen Ge put the painting into his backpack, supported Yu Jian, and walked out of the office accompanied by the red-clothed employee.
“It’s time to leave.”
The town has changed beyond all recognition, the beautiful dream has ended, Chen Ge stared blankly out the window, as if looking for a figure.
The streets were full of cracks, heavy rain was pouring, and the world behind the door was about to collapse.
Chen Ge didn't see the figure in the end. He walked to the black iron door of the school equipment room.
Just as he was about to push open the iron door with the red-clothed employee, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Ge answered the call without hesitation. He put the phone to his ear and held his breath.
After a moment, Zhang Ya's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher promised you that I would tell you when I leave, Chen Ge..."
"Where are you?" Chen Ge ran to the window with his phone in hand: "I'll find you!"
Without an umbrella, Chen Ge rushed into the rainstorm carrying his backpack and mobile phone. He ran wildly on the cracked streets, passing through a world that was about to collapse, and finally saw the somewhat lonely figure at the crossroads of the town.
Zhang Ya was standing on the roadside holding a red umbrella, the phone in her hand still on.
Chen Ge was gasping for breath, his whole body soaked by the rain.
"I didn't want to call you because I was afraid it would affect your studies, but when I really made up my mind to leave, I couldn't control myself." Zhang Ya raised the red umbrella over Chen Ge's head and stood quietly in front of him: "Can you forgive my selfishness?"
The gray town began to tilt, and black cracks tore the entire world apart.
Chen Ge did not answer Zhang Ya's question. It was the first time he looked at Zhang Ya from such a close distance. "If the incident in the dance studio had not happened, if we were not teacher and student, if you were just Zhang Ya and I was just Chen Ge, how great would that be."
After hearing Chen Ge's words, Zhang Ya said nothing. She took another step forward, stood on tiptoe, and leaned gently against Chen Ge.
Raising her hands, Zhang Ya whispered in Chen Ge's ear: "Hold me tight."
Under the blood-red umbrella, before Chen Ge's arm fell, Zhang Ya's body had already become illusory.
The red umbrella fell to the ground. Chen Ge had nothing in his arms. He stood silently in the heavy rain.
The world behind the door collapsed. The red-clothed employee brought Yu Jian and Chen Ge to the iron door and pushed it open together.
Just as they left the world behind the door, a few drops of blood-red rain fell on Chen Ge's backpack, seeping into it, and finally dyeing Zhang Ya's book red.
…
As he stepped out of the iron gate, the world started spinning and Chen Ge fell into Yu Jian's bedroom.
His eyes were red and he didn't care about anything else. He just opened his backpack and took out Zhang Ya's bedtime story book.
Chen Ge flipped through the pages one by one until he reached the last page.
"On * year, * month, * day, I had a dream. I dreamed that I became a teacher and he became my student."
"I dreamed that he and I were walking home together under one umbrella, that we were waiting for the train together at the platform, that we were cooking together and living together."
"I also dreamed that I hugged him and he hugged me tightly."
