Sitting on the bed, Chen Ge leaned against the wall, reached into his backpack with one hand, and looked up at the monster on the ceiling.
There was no fear in his eyes, but a hint of confusion, a look the monster had never seen before. They just stared at each other, and neither of them acted rashly.
"Wen Qing was rescued by an invisible child. If that child was the ghost fetus, then why did he always care about Wen Qing's safety? With the ghost fetus's personality, he is not the kind of guy who would sacrifice for other people's mothers. He has never saved the families of other children in the world behind the door."
Chen Ge thought about it for a while, and the most likely explanation was that Xiang Nuan and the ghost fetus had merged into one, or that Xiang Nuan had never existed in the world from the beginning, and Xiang Nuan was the ghost fetus.
There was a constant rustling sound coming from overhead, and monsters made up of human heads were crawling on the ceiling. Black threads emitting a strange smell stretched out from the seven orifices of the human heads.
The monster was much more cautious than Chen Ge had imagined. It stared at Chen Ge with a pair of vicious eyes. It hesitated for a long time before approaching the prey that looked abnormal.
The stench was overwhelming, and human heads were so close at hand. This scene could scare an adult crazy, but Chen Ge just frowned.
"The ghosts in the black fog and the bloody city seem to be different. They give me completely different feelings." The confusion in Chen Ge's eyes dissipated. He was like a zoologist in reality, observing endangered species that he had never seen before up close.
"Most of the ghosts and monsters in the Blood City are stained with blood. The blood and hatred of the evil ghosts, half-red clothes and red clothes can tell the strength of a monster. But the monsters in the black fog are different. Their strength has nothing to do with the amount of blood. They are filled with hatred and a desire for destruction."
"The essence of evil spirits is obsession. I don't feel disgusted when facing evil spirits. Sometimes I even sympathize with them. However, the monsters in the black fog make me hate them instinctively. It seems that there is no possibility for these guys to become employees."
Chen Ge looked at the monster in front of him and finally said what was in his heart: "I can't give up on any 'person' so easily. After all the employees wake up, I can try to capture a few monsters in the black fog alive to see if I can help them correct their wrong outlook on life."
Chen Ge himself knew that it was extremely difficult to do so, but he still wanted to try. This might be another way to interpret "teaching without distinction".
The monsters in the black fog are almost inhuman, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to think. These guys are very cunning.
The head on the ceiling tried again and again, and finally determined that Chen Ge could not pose a threat to it. The feeling of being deceived made it very angry, and all the heads that made up its body opened their mouths.
To be honest, the scene in front of him was very scary. More than a dozen heads were twisting against Chen Ge's face, and black threads were hanging from the monsters. They wanted to use the threads to penetrate Chen Ge's body and then wrap around him like snakes.
This scene makes people feel uncomfortable just thinking about it. Being entangled by a giant python would at most cause suffocation, but if you are entangled by this monster, the faces of the monster will stick to you, and the cracked mouth will constantly bite your body.
"They are unable to communicate, have no empathy, and only see evil and destruction. Why do such monsters exist in the world? What is the meaning of their existence?" Chen Ge looked at the head that was almost touching his face. His hand, which had been hidden in his backpack, finally came out, and in his palm he was holding a red high-heeled shoe covered in blood.
The shoe reached the monster's face, and before the monster could react, Chen Ge swung his arm and smashed the sharp heel into the monster's face.
“This thing is pretty sharp.”
This was the first time the human-headed monster was attacked by such a weapon. Fine threads gushed out of its torn mouth. All the human-headed monsters seemed to be piranhas that had seen raw meat. They pounced on Chen Ge like crazy.
But just as they were about to bite Chen Ge's body, strange patterns appeared on the red high-heeled shoes that pierced the monster's face.
On every line there are innocent dead people begging for mercy. If you look closely, you can find that all the lines are distorted from living human faces, containing their most vicious curses and deepest despair.
Black lines spread across the human-headed monster, and in less than a second, it was as if a large net had trapped the monster.
"It seems that the evil spirits cannot directly devour the monsters in the black fog, and even killing them is difficult." The red high-heeled shoes have not completely broken free from the shackles of the world behind the door, and cannot appear without the object of entrustment. Chen Ge can only use this method to kill the monsters in the black fog.
The reason why he dared to do this was that when his palm touched the red high-heeled shoes for the first time, the blood and curse on the shoes actively entered his body, helping him find the reason for his continuous weakness.
At that time he knew that although the red high-heeled shoes could not leave the object they were entrusted to, they could already use some of their abilities.
The human-headed monster was twisting in the living room like a giant centipede. Seeing its painful appearance, Chen Ge took out another high-heeled shoe from his backpack and smashed the heel into the monster's neck.
"Although Red High Heels can only use a small part of her abilities, she is close to being a top-level Red Clothes. How could a mere human-headed monster not be killed for such a long time?"
Chen Ge definitely did not mean to underestimate the red high heels. He just felt that the monsters in the black fog were very difficult to deal with. The human-headed monster was only a relatively ordinary monster. He had also seen extremely huge shadows in the black fog.
The black lines covering the human-headed monster's body slowly tightened, and it took a full ten minutes before the human-headed monster was completely killed. Its body shattered, and countless black threads emerged from its head and turned into black smoke, before becoming part of the black fog again.
Picking up the high heels, Chen Ge looked at the increasingly clear lines on them. He knew that the red high heels were about to break free.
After the human-headed monster's body shattered, the black fog in the house became thicker, giving people the feeling that it was not dead, but just changed its form of existence.
Using the Yin pupil, Chen Ge found some black particles where the human-headed monster had been just now, like the ashes left after something burned.
"What's this?"
Chen Ge found a thermos in the room and put the black particles in it. He didn't know what this thing was used for, but he planned to take it back and study it slowly, maybe he could discover some secrets about the black fog.
After stretching his body, Chen Ge's feet were cold. His body temperature was very low, but the feeling of fatigue emanating from the depths of his soul had weakened a lot.
"After the invisible child took Wen Qing away, my strength began to recover slowly. It seems that the abnormality happening to me is indeed related to him." Chen Ge's eyes were calm. He entered the world behind the doors of other children. Those children were unwilling to help the ghost fetus. They were hostile to the ghost fetus and would always become Chen Ge's helpers in the end. However, Xiang Nuan's door was different.
From the moment she entered the world behind the door, Xiang Nuan seemed to be on the side of the ghost fetus.
In reality, Xiang Nuan is a child who never communicates with the world. No one knows what he is really like, and even his mother doesn’t know him well enough.
"Before my employees woke up, I followed Wen Qing. Wen Qing was protected by the ghost fetus, and I could use the power of the ghost to avoid some dangers. Now my employees are about to wake up, and there is no need for me to stay with them." Without employees, Chen Ge is not much stronger than an ordinary person, but with the help of his employees, the situation is completely different.
"The power of my employees is my power. I am still myself, but my abilities are constantly improving. This should be my biggest advantage." The power of the horror house is constantly growing, but Chen Ge is not overwhelmed by this power. There is a radiant light of humanity in him, which is something that all his opponents do not have.
As powerful as the cursed hospital, in order to achieve their own goals, they have completely distorted human nature, and their patients have almost become synonymous with monsters.
As smart as Dr. Gao was, he saw the limits of human beings early on. For the sake of his own goals, he not only abandoned his humanity, but even gave up his qualifications to be a human being, from birth to death.
Chen Ge's strength is constantly increasing, but his path is different from everyone else's. The path he chooses is very dangerous, and he almost leaves his life and death completely in the hands of the evil spirit. What kind of trust does a person have to dare to make such a choice?
He tried to stuff his high heels into his pocket, but after a long time he found that they couldn't fit in, so he had to put them back into his backpack.
"The skull crusher is just a disguise. My real killer move is the red high heels. I guess no one would have thought that my weapon would be a pair of high heels."
Dragging the skull crusher, Chen Ge rested in the house for a while. It was not until the building was hit and the shaking intensified again that he decided to leave.
"That hospital was clearly well prepared. They were definitely more prepared than I was. This is a disaster for the ghost fetus."
The hospital had a clear goal from the beginning. When they found Chen Ge disrupting the situation in Building A of Jinhua Community, they left decisively and directly avoided a conflict with Chen Ge.
Between the ghost fetus and Chen Ge, their choice was the ghost fetus. It seemed that they had been planning for this day for a long time.
Chen Ge's strength was slowly recovering. The color of the comic book was getting darker and darker. When he turned on the repeater, he could faintly hear the rustling sound of electricity.
The employees were about to wake up, good news came one after another, and Chen Ge's expression slowly returned to normal.
"Zhang Ya is a fierce god. There may also be a fierce god in the cursed hospital, or a being similar to a fierce god. It will be very difficult for the ghost fetus to suppress them at the same time by relying on the rules of the world behind it. It probably won't last long."
With the protection of the red high heels, Chen Ge was no longer so afraid of the black fog. He walked slowly in the corridor, listening to the fierce fighting outside the building.
"Let's make some noise, let's see who has the last laugh."
Walking up the stairs to the first floor, Chen Ge looked back as he left Building 2 of Jiuhong Community.
There was originally a rag doll's head hidden in this building. Behind every door of the building are the memories of the ghost fetus. Although it has turned into a monster, it has not forgotten any of the past. Every time you open a door, you can see its former self.
"Even a ghost fetus is like this, why did I forget those important things? Is there anyone who doesn't want me to remember those things?"
Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Chen Ge did not rush out. The world outside the building had become different.
Black fog enveloped everything, but blood could be vaguely seen in the fog. The entire world behind the door was like an abstract painting depicting a nightmare, with red and black intertwined and distorting all the "people" behind the door.
"Before the world behind the door gets completely out of control, the ghost fetus will definitely send Wen Qing to a safe place. After Wen Qing is safe, it will most likely come back to find me." Chen Ge thought from the perspective of the ghost fetus: "Now is the most critical moment for its birth. No matter how much interference it encounters, it will definitely make birth its primary goal."
Chen Ge still doesn't know in what form the ghost fetus will be born, but he feels that the ghost fetus will definitely come to it, and his body can be said to be the best choice for the ghost fetus.
"There's no need for me to have a head-on conflict with the ghost fetus. I can just drag it out slowly."
For Chen Ge now, the interior of the residential building controlled by the ghost fetus is not as safe as the black fog.
The employees are about to wake up, and Red High Heels can still use some of his abilities. He can now protect himself and hide in the black fog that is not controlled by the Nether Fetus until all the employees break free from the constraints of the world behind the door.
"If that child hadn't chosen to save Wen Qing, I'm afraid my body would have been mostly taken over by it by now."
Some things cannot be denied, that child cares about Wen Qing very much.
According to Wen Qing, Xiang Nuan hardly ever spoke a complete sentence to her, nor did she ever call her mother.
But from the child's various behaviors behind the door, it can be seen that in his heart, Wen Qing is irreplaceable.
Walking alone in the black fog, Chen Ge, carrying a bag, dragging a skull crusher in one hand and holding high heels in the other, quietly came to the green belt of the community.
Hiding inside, Chen Ge looked up at the scene before him that seemed like the end of the world.
The tall buildings tilted, huge shadows crawled on the outer walls of the buildings, the ground shook, and screams continued to come from all directions in the red and black world.
Chen Ge was watching intently when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. Turning his head, he found that his red high-heeled shoes were bleeding.
"Is anyone coming?" Chen Ge seemed to sense something. He turned around suddenly and his pupils shrank into a point in an instant.
There was a child standing behind him, standing on his shadow, as if he had long been accustomed to staying in that position.
"I found you."
The boy lowered his head and his face could not be seen, but just from the sound of his voice it sounded very similar to Xiang Nuan's.
Chen Ge subconsciously took a step back, but just as he took a step back, the boy took a step forward.
The distance between them remained the same, just like a person and his shadow, no matter how they moved, they could not be separated.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Chen Ge didn't do anything futile. His eyes were very calm, as if he had known that such a thing would happen, but the expression on his face was a little complicated: "You were the one who ran away on your own initiative, why did you come back to find me?"
The boy didn't speak. He lowered his head, as if staring at Chen Ge's shadow.
"Get out of the way. From the moment you ran away, there is no relationship between you and me."
