Zuo Han looked very anxious, as if he was being chased by something.

"I went to Ping'an Apartment last night, and you were not there." Chen Ge didn't want to help Zuo Han, but he felt that Zuo Han was still very young, and it would be a pity to gamble his life like this.

"After leaving your haunted house that day, I was targeted by the doctors in the hospital. In order to get rid of them, I had to go to the Western Suburbs Private College again and use the power of the one-eyed man to stop the doctors." Zuo Han touched the wound on his face. The pain seemed to keep him awake at all times.

"She helped you stop the doctor, and you paid with your own organs?"

"It's a fair deal." Zuo Han sighed softly, "The tenants of Ping'an Apartment are all people like us, trustworthy, but they are too weak. This world is not as simple as you think. All my suspicions have been confirmed step by step. We need the help of One-Eye. Her existence is a deterrent and can also help us understand this city more intuitively."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Chen Ge looked at his watch. "But I have to leave before midnight, because the tenant of Ping An Apartment and I have an agreement to meet at Liwan Street after midnight tonight."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Ge originally wanted to leave the white cat behind to look after the house, but who knew that the white cat would jump directly onto his backpack and could not be driven away no matter what, as if it was determined to stay with Chen Ge.

There was no other choice, so Chen Ge had to put the white cat and the tool hammer together and set off with his backpack.

Zuo Han didn't quite understand Chen Ge's behavior, but he didn't say much.

After leaving the haunted house, Chen Ge prepared to take a taxi, but was stopped by Zuo Han.

They walked through the city alleys until they were quite far away and saw a van at the end of a back alley.

"The driver's name is Tang Jun, and he is also a tenant of Ping An Apartment. He has lost most of his memories. According to him, he seemed to be a racing driver in the past."

Tang Jun was a good driver. He drove his van on small roads with few people and took Zuo Han and Chen Ge to Xinhai West Suburb Private College before 11 o'clock in the evening.

For some unknown reason, this place has been abandoned for a long time.

As soon as you enter the campus, you can feel gusts of cold wind. The temperature inside the wall is much lower than outside.

"Follow me." This was not the first time Zuo Han entered an abandoned school. He led Chen Ge to avoid the teaching building and directly entered the multi-functional laboratory building behind the abandoned school.

There are chairs placed everywhere in the building, and a student's name is written under each chair.

Originally, students wrote their names under their chairs because they were afraid of losing them during assemblies. But when the school abandoned them, the chairs with names on them looked like tombstones.

"One-Eye is in the experimental building?"

"Yes, but she herself doesn't know why she likes to stay here."

All the doors of the laboratory building were locked, and there were all kinds of cruel and weird graffiti painted on the doors. It seemed that some very bad things had happened in this private college in the past, and the abandonment of the school was related to those things.

There is an iron door leading to the fourth floor of the experimental building. In front of the door is a pile of broken chairs, which looks like all kinds of body parts piled together.

Zuo Han found a path among the pile of chairs and led Chen Ge into it.

"We're here. This is the place. When you go in, don't say a word. One-Eye has a weird temper and might do something bad to you." Zuo Han stopped at the door of the dance studio on the fourth floor. After giving Chen Ge a few instructions, he pushed open the door.

A biting chill hit him in the face. When Chen Ge saw the scene inside the dance studio, his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably and his heart began to pound. It seemed as if he had been here before and that this place was very important to him.

In the spacious dance studio, the walls are covered with honor photos of people with their faces dug out, and at the end of the studio stands a huge full-length mirror.

All the windows were boarded up and there were a few chairs in the middle of the dance studio.

The closed room seemed dark and depressing, with a faint sense of sadness lingering around it.

Zuo Han took out a small knife from his pocket and gently scratched the wound on his cheek. Blood began to seep out of the hole in his left eye.

Bright red blood drops fell to the ground one by one. Zuo Han sat on the chair with a knife in his hand: "I am here to fulfill my promise to you."

The temperature in the dance room dropped again. The wooden boards on the windows made cracking sounds, and cracks began to appear on the mirror at the end of the room.

After a while, there was nothing unusual in the dance studio, but if you look at the huge mirror, you will find that a one-eyed woman in school uniform appears in the dance studio in the mirror.

In the mirror, she ignored Zuo Han who was bleeding and was standing behind Chen Ge.

His back seemed to be frozen by ice, and Chen Ge couldn't even turn around.

"It's me who's here to make a deal with you!" Zuo Han stared at the mirror with his only remaining eye. He was a little confused. The one-eyed man had never been so interested in someone before. What on earth was it about Chen Ge that attracted her?

Perhaps it was because of Zuo Han’s voice that blood words began to appear on the mirror: Give me seven lives, and I will go into the hospital and help you get the medical record.

Seven lives in exchange for one move from the One-Eye. Seeing this scene, Chen Ge frowned slightly.

The one-eyed ghost hiding in the abandoned school fits his image of a ghost very well: cruel, cold, scary, and playing with human nature.

"Seven? Didn't we agree yesterday that I would dedicate my life to you, and you would go into the hospital to help me steal the medical record of Patient No. 1?" Zuo Han stood up, blood flowing out of the wound on his left eye. His face was covered in blood, and he looked horrible.

The one-eyed woman in the mirror had been standing behind Chen Ge. She waved her hand, and new words appeared on the mirror - or you have another choice.

"You guys?" Seeing the words used by the one-eyed man, Zuo Han already had a bad feeling: "What choice?"

There were more and more cracks on the mirror, and several hideous characters quietly emerged - Give me Chen Ge's left eye!

Seeing the bleeding words on the mirror, Chen Ge and Zuo Han both felt something was wrong.

"How does she know my name is Chen Ge?" Chen Ge was very confused.

Zuo Han was also a little puzzled. The one-eyed man's desire for Chen Ge far exceeded his own: "Can one eye of Chen Ge be equivalent to seven lives?"

This bloody bargaining chip made Zuo Han fall into deep thought, his eyes moving between the mirror and Chen Ge.

No one spoke in the dance studio; everyone was weighing the pros and cons.

Frankly speaking, Chen Ge also wanted to see the medical record of Patient No. 1. He had a vague feeling that Patient No. 1 was related to the child who was put into the seven jars, and was the key to breaking the deadlock.

"If I give you my left eye, can you promise to bring out the medical record of Patient No. 1 from the hospital?" Chen Ge was not sure about One-Eye's strength. In his opinion, the hospital was unfathomable and almost no one could fight against it alone.

After a moment, a line of blood words appeared on the mirror - No, but this is your last chance.

Even if he donated his left eye, there was no guarantee that he could get the medical record, so Chen Ge hesitated.

"Chen Ge, the deal is canceled, let's go." Zuo Han seemed to realize something. He stared at Chen Ge, gave Chen Ge a look, then stood up and prepared to leave.

As soon as the two of them moved, the door of the dance studio was closed. There was clearly nothing in the room, but Chen Ge and Zuo Han felt as if they were being crushed.

"You can only leave if you leave one thing behind." The one-eyed woman in the mirror stood in the blood words. She slowly raised her scarred pale arm, and Chen Ge's body began to move towards the mirror uncontrollably.

"Chen Ge!" Zuo Han grabbed Chen Ge's shoulders, but he couldn't stop Chen Ge at all and was dragged to the mirror.

Looking at the one-eyed woman in the mirror, Chen Ge felt both familiar and strange.

The scene is familiar, but the person in front of me is unfamiliar.

The one-eyed woman raised her arm and stretched it forward, touching the mirror. Blood washed away her body, and the pale arm covered with scars penetrated the mirror and grabbed Chen Ge.

His pupils shrank, and the one-eyed woman in Chen Ge's eyes slowly overlapped with another figure. He almost subconsciously said a name: "Zhang Ya?"

Hearing this name, the one-eyed woman stopped stretching out her hand. Her hand that was originally reaching for Chen Ge's heart hovered in mid-air, and in the end she only took away a strand of Chen Ge's hair.

All the bloody words on the mirror disappeared. The one-eyed woman looked at Chen Ge deeply and walked into the world deep in the mirror.

The temperature in the dance studio returned to normal. Zuo Han stood beside Chen Ge, his face covered in blood. He could hardly believe that the cruel One-Eye had let him and Chen Ge go.

"Did you know One-Eye before? Why did I feel like she was frightened at some point just now?"

"Let's leave here first." The scene of the one-eyed woman appearing in the mirror triggered Chen Ge's memory.

When Zhang Ya's figure overlapped with the one-eyed woman's, he felt as if struck by lightning, and a long-lost feeling surged in his heart.

He was very sure that Zhang Ya had appeared in this way before.

"There must be some truth hidden in Zhang Ya's dreams. When One-Eye heard Zhang Ya's name just now, her demeanor changed significantly. Just the word Zhang Ya made her waver. This means that Zhang Ya is very likely a more terrifying ghost than One-Eye!"

Because Zhang Ya was someone close to him, Chen Ge had previously thought more about protecting Zhang Ya and preventing her from getting hurt, but now he discovered that the truth seemed not to be so.

"I have to have a good talk with her."

Compared to One-Eye's promise, Chen Ge now has a new direction.

When I walked out of Xinhai Xijiao Private College, Tang Jun’s van was outside.

Only after getting in the car did Zuo Han and Chen Ge breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is that a ghost? It's so scary." Chen Ge didn't feel too uncomfortable when he was with the tenants of Ping'an Apartment. It was only after he met the one-eyed man that he realized how scary a ghost really is.

"Chen Ge, I can't quite understand why One-Eye knows your name? This should be the first time you meet!" Zuo Han was still thinking about this question.

"I have lost my previous memories. One-Eye might have been my friend." This is the most reasonable explanation Chen Ge could think of.

"One of your eyes is equivalent to seven lives. The evil spirits will not lie about the bargaining chips. It seems that I have to rethink it." Zuo Han touched his chin: "When you were in the hospital, you were the most special patient. Those doctors regarded other patients as medicine to treat you. Now that you have left the hospital, the evil spirits also think that you are very special."

"Sometimes I feel as if this city was built specifically to treat me. All traces have been erased, leaving only the things the hospital wants me to see."

Zuo Han and Chen Ge had been communicating all the way. After leaving the hospital, they could finally speak freely.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Tang Jun drove Chen Ge and Zuo Han to Liwan Street.

This old street is located in the eastern suburbs of Xinhai. It is the terminus of bus No. 104. It is extremely remote and few people come here normally.

"The tenants should have arrived. Do you know how to contact them?" Chen Ge looked at Zuo Han and Tang Jun, and they both shook their heads.

“This is my first time here at Liwan Street too.” After getting off the car, Zuo Han looked around. The street lights on both sides of the old street flickered, and there was no one in sight.

"Have you noticed that the shadows of everything on this street are crooked?" Tang Jun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He tried to recall for a while: "Since I came to this place, I feel very familiar with it. I seem to have come here often to race cars with others before."

"Shadow?" Chen Ge looked down and found something even more bizarre.

The shadows of all objects and people on this street are crooked, except for his shadow which is normal.

"Something's wrong."

The three of them entered the street. The doors and windows of the buildings and shops on both sides were closed, and there was no one around.

Crossing the entire street, they arrived at a residential area at the deepest part of Liwan Street.

As soon as they stepped through the gate, they were enveloped by a cold feeling. This residential area and the outside world seemed to be two different worlds.

Feeling something in his heart, Chen Ge subconsciously looked up and found that there was a little girl in a bloodshot red shirt staring at him from the window on the fourth floor of some residential building.

"That's Scarlet?"

The door to the corridor was opened, and a middle-aged man named Zhou appeared at the door: "Don't waste time, come here quickly!"

All three of them entered the corridor, and under the guidance of Lao Zhou, they met Feihong.

Lao Zhou and Men Nan wanted to introduce Chen Ge, but before they opened their mouths, the little girl called Feihong took the initiative to walk up to Chen Ge.

Then she did a very strange thing. The child in the blood-stained clothes squatted beside Chen Ge and gently stroked Chen Ge's shadow with her palm.

After a moment, she raised her head, and hideous bloody words appeared around the girl.

"After I followed my instinct and came to this old street, there was a man with a normal shadow waiting for me. He said he was patient number two and he needed my help now."

Looking at the bloody words on the ground, everyone in the room was stunned.

Everyone's shadows were crooked, only Chen Ge and the second patient's shadows were normal.

"What does he want you to do for him?" Chen Ge asked subconsciously. His intuition told him that the answer to this question was very important to him.

"He wants me to be your shadow." The girl called Scarlet had bloodshot eyes, and she seemed to have recovered some of her memory.
