The Curse Girl's eyes moved away from Chen Ge's face and glanced at the back of his hand.

Just now when the man and the ghost approached, the wound on Chen Ge's back that had never healed began to bleed again, as if it had been stimulated by something.

"Did you cause the wound on the back of my hand?" Chen Ge raised his arm, but the curse girl just nodded.

Ten minutes later, Ward 3 returned to normal and all the black threads disappeared.

Lao Zhou and Tang Jun got up from the ground and made sure that everyone was fine. Men Nan also woke up from his coma.

"We underestimated the strength of the Curse Girl. She should be the strongest ghost in this city." Men Nan took a deep breath. "It's not shameful to lose to her, but I think we need to think carefully before asking her for help."

"We have already seen the three most terrifying ghosts in this city. The remaining ghosts will be dealt with by the tenants of Ping An Apartment. Chen Ge, you just stay in the haunted house and don't have anything to do with us anymore." Zuo Han was clear-headed and had clear thoughts: "After we have made all the preparations, we will go to the haunted house to find you."

After Zuo Han finished speaking, he found that Chen Ge had not spoken a word. He gently patted Chen Ge on the shoulder and said, "Don't take what the curse girl said to heart. If a person has no heart, is he still a complete person?"

"Actually, what she said makes sense."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. You are the key to all of our escape..." Before Zuo Han could finish his words, he saw Chen Ge's red eyes.

Honestly speaking, among all people, Zuo Han is the one who understands Chen Ge the best.

He had also thought about trading his life with One-Eye. Only when forced to that point could one understand that feeling.

Zuo Han knew that Chen Ge, as the focus of all the chaos, must have endured despair and pain dozens of times more than himself. He wanted to comfort Chen Ge, but all his words seemed pale and powerless in the face of true despair.

"We will get our memories back." Zuo Han did not disturb Chen Ge who was deep in thought, and they left the third ward together.

After discussing new contact information, Chen Ge separated from the tenants of Ping An Apartment and returned to the Paradise Haunted House after a long detour.

He lay on the bed in the staff lounge. In the past, he only felt the warmth of the first rays of the sun shining on his body, but now he was a little afraid of the rising sun.

He didn't know what would happen tomorrow, but he knew that tomorrow would be worse than now.

Disaster was approaching step by step. Chen Ge lay in bed and could not sleep all night.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Ge got up as usual and started cleaning. Even though the haunted house had not been open for business, he would still go to check the scenes and props every day.

At 8:10, Zhang Ya appeared at the door of the haunted house. She looked tired and seemed to have lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

She had another nightmare last night. She was awakened by fear at around two in the morning. As soon as she closed her eyes, the tragic scene in the dream would appear in her mind.

Her father's condition was getting worse, and her mother had to take care of him alone. Zhang Ya didn't want to add more pressure to them, so she didn't dare tell her own parents. Instead, she turned to Chen Ge as someone to talk to.

"It was past three in the morning and I couldn't fall asleep. I got up to drink some water. When I passed by the window, I found a man downstairs. He was staring at my window and laughing." Zhang Ya leaned against Chen Ge: "The scenes in the nightmare are slowly becoming reality. I can't tell them apart now."

Hearing this, Chen Ge knew that the hospital had already started taking action against Zhang Ya.

This is the hospital's usual style, first driving normal people crazy, and then intervening and "treating" them.

Chen Ge was now very worried that Zhang Ya would collapse and be sent to Xinhai Central Hospital. Once in that hospital, it would be very difficult to get out.

At one point, he even thought of taking Zhang Ya away, but where could they escape to? This was a city without hope, where all the memories and beauty were fictitious, and even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't find a direction.

Looking at the haggard Zhang Ya, Chen Ge slowly clenched his fingers: "Go to the room and sleep for a while, I'm here."

He couldn't say what he wanted to say. The cruel truth was pressing in his heart. As his beautiful life gradually fell apart, Chen Ge carefully protected Zhang Ya. This was the only thing he could do now.

Opening the door to the staff lounge, Chen Ge looked at the sleeping Zhang Ya and memorized her appearance firmly in his mind.

"I always feel like I owe her a lot."

Lying beside the bed, Chen Ge did not move an inch, because he knew this might be the last time.

Around noon, the park management and several security guards entered the haunted house. They barged in without even saying hello.

When Chen Ge arrived, the park management had come up with a rectification plan that they had unilaterally decided on.

The most popular midnight escape scene in the haunted house must be demolished within three days. They believe that this scene has scared tourists and caused a very bad impact, so it must be demolished.

Several laymen walked around the scene, commenting on the props and mechanisms that Chen Ge had carefully designed. Anything they didn't like had to be dismantled.

Without waking up Zhang Ya, Chen Ge followed the managers with a pen and paper, carefully recording all the changes that needed to be made.

This is not his haunted house, this is Zhang Ya's haunted house. He wants to do his best to save the haunted house and reopen it.

It's a humble request that as long as they can open, they will have a chance to survive this difficult time.

There were more than seventy places that needed to be modified, and one scene had to be demolished. They only gave Chen Ge three days for all this.

By the time the park management left, Chen Ge had twisted the paper so hard that it was wrinkled.

"It's good to be able to open a business, and life will have a purpose."

After Zhang Ya woke up, Chen Ge found her with the paper.

Zhang Ya felt very uncomfortable after seeing the contents on the paper, while Chen Ge kept counseling her.

In the afternoon, the two began to modify the haunted house, closed the midnight escape, and removed most of the scary props.

They were busy until six o'clock in the evening. The two were planning to go out for dinner together, but Zhang Ya suddenly received a call from her family.

Zhang Ya's father was transferred to another ward, and her mother had to stay with him all the time.

After receiving the call, Zhang Ya immediately rushed to Xinhai Central Hospital, and Chen Ge sent her to the hospital gate.

When they parted, Chen Ge grabbed Zhang Ya's hand and told her that if she was scared at night, she could go to the haunted house to find him and try not to stay at home alone.

Watching Zhang Ya enter the depths of Xinhai Central Hospital, Chen Ge's heart began to tighten. He was afraid that this would be the last time they would meet.

After returning to the haunted house, Chen Ge couldn't calm down.

He kept walking in the corridor, and at around nine o'clock in the evening, he wanted to numb himself by working as usual.

But when he entered the haunted house scene with the rectification suggestions, he became completely confused.

All his talents and abilities are used to make tourists like the haunted house more and give everyone a better experience. He has never done anything to actively destroy the facilities in the haunted house.

Holding the tool hammer tightly, Chen Ge looked at the haunted house scene he had created with his own hands and quietly entered it.

In one night, Chen Ge destroyed the midnight escape scene and corrected all the scares.

The sunlight shone into the dark haunted house through the window, but Chen Ge could not feel a trace of warmth. It seemed that the light was hiding a biting cold.

"It's daybreak."

Sitting at the door of the haunted house, Chen Ge, who hadn't slept a wink the whole night, didn't feel sleepy. He stroked the white cat's head, and the man and the cat looked into the distance quietly, waiting for Zhang Ya to arrive.

It was half past ten in the morning, long after the park opened, when Zhang Ya arrived at the haunted house.

Chen Ge heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Ya appear. He was really worried that last night would be their last farewell.

"Zhang Ya, you should have a good rest. Leave the haunted house to me." Chen Ge, who had not slept all night, hoped that Zhang Ya could have a good rest. He stood beside Zhang Ya with complicated emotions in his eyes.

The two entered the scene. Zhang Ya was surprised to find that Chen Ge had already completed the rectification according to the requirements of the park management: "Did you not sleep last night?"

Zhang Ya thought of what Chen Ge had just said, and she felt a little distressed.

At twelve o'clock noon, Chen Ge found the park manager and asked him to check the haunted house. He and Zhang Ya thought they could open the park normally, but they didn't expect the other party to just leave a message to wait for further notice.

There was no hope for the future, but Chen Ge and Zhang Ya did not give up.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ya went to the hospital. Chen Ge stayed alone in the haunted house. He looked at the scene that had been modified beyond recognition and pursed his cracked lips.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the fence of the haunted house was knocked on, and Chen Ge, who was staying in the scene, ran out in a hurry.

He saw Zhang Ya leaning against the guardrail, her face as pale as paper, and her steps somewhat unsteadily.

"What's going on?" Chen Ge quickly helped Zhang Ya into the house.

"It was around 8pm. After I left the hospital and returned home, I felt upset. The horrible memories in my nightmares seemed to penetrate my brain." Zhang Ya closed her eyes in pain. "The world in my eyes often bleeds for no apparent reason. The weirdo downstairs is getting closer and closer to me. I can feel that he is waiting for me in the corridor!"

Zhang Ya's mental state is extremely unstable. Nightmares and reality constantly collide, distorting the world in her eyes.

Her condition is very dangerous now and she must not be provoked any further.

"Zhang Ya, you can sleep in the staff lounge tonight. I will stay by your side and won't let anyone disturb you." Chen Ge made a bed on the floor and let Zhang Ya sleep on it.

The staff lounge was not big, and after turning off the lights, they could hear each other's breathing.

The moonlight from outside shone into the room through the window gap. Zhang Ya, who was lying on the bed with her back to Chen Ge, suddenly whispered, "Chen Ge, am I sick?"

"No, it is the world that is sick."

"But why am I the one suffering?"

Zhang Ya sat up from her bed with her toes touching the ground, the moonlight sliding down her black hair.

Hearing the sound, Chen Ge looked back and saw Zhang Ya lying beside him like a wounded cat.

“It’s the world that’s sick, why are we the ones suffering?”

She rested her head gently against Chen Ge's back, hiding herself behind him.

"It'll be fine." Chen Ge didn't turn around. The despair in his eyes could not be hidden. His natural acting skills seemed to have lost their effect in front of Zhang Ya.

"It will be fine."

Listening to each other's heartbeats, neither of them fell asleep. They leaned on each other, waiting for the next dawn.

At around four o'clock, Zhang Ya received a call from her mother and rushed to the hospital. Chen Ge wanted to stop her, but he had no good reason.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge made his bed and started cleaning the haunted house.

After everything was done, he sat at the door of the haunted house.

There was only one person and a cat in the entire haunted house. There were no tourists or other employees to be seen.

After the park opened for business, Chen Ge approached the park management several times, hoping that they would be flexible.

His efforts did not receive any response. Instead, others advised him not to waste his time in one place.

After hitting a wall again and again, Chen Ge still insisted on looking for the relevant person in charge of the park, hoping that the other party could take a look at his haunted house, which he had already modified according to the rules.

But until the park closed at night, Chen Ge still didn't get the answer he wanted. The park manager left the park, and other managers also ignored Chen Ge.

After eating something casually, Chen Ge still sat at the door of the haunted house, looking at the big clock in the park from time to time.

He had been waiting for Zhang Ya, but this time, Zhang Ya did not return to the haunted house.

The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. Chen Ge left the haunted house at midnight and called Zhang Ya's phone number at the convenience store, but no one answered after he called several times.

At around one in the morning, Chen Ge went to the hospital.

He looked at the brightly lit Xinhai Central Hospital but ultimately did not go in.

Chen Ge tossed and turned all night, and would get up to check whenever he heard any noise, but the door to the haunted house was empty, with no one there.

The next morning, after cleaning up, Chen Ge anxiously ran to the door of the haunted house.

But Zhang Ya didn't come until the park opened.

Zhang Ya did not show up during the whole day.

"Why hasn't she come back yet?"

As night fell, Chen Ge kept walking around in the haunted house. He had never done this before.

On the morning of the third day, there was still no news from Zhang Ya and her parents. It was as if Chen Ge and the haunted house had been forgotten by them.

Day 4, Day 5…

On the morning of the seventh day, Chen Ge, with bloodshot eyes, was cleaning the haunted house when several staff members in security uniforms suddenly rushed into the haunted house.

"What do you want to do!" Chen Ge stood at the door with a broom, not taking a step back.

"We are acting in accordance with the contract. This haunted house has been losing money for years and has failed several inspections. The management held a meeting and decided to demolish it and prepare to build new entertainment facilities."

"The owner of the haunted house is critically ill and in the hospital. Aren't you too cold-blooded to seal off the haunted house now?" Chen Ge's eyes were red as he guarded the door of the haunted house tightly.

"Before you think we are cold-blooded, you should first think carefully about your own unpaid wages. Get out of the way!" Several security guards rushed forward. Chen Ge threw away the broom and took out a tool hammer from the prop room.

“Bang!”

The tool hammer covered with red paint smashed through the wooden board. Chen Ge's terrifying strength made everyone stop.

"This is my discharge certificate. Leave now while I'm still trying to reason with you!" Chen Ge threw the discharge certificate in his bag to the ground. "After the haunted house owner recovers, you can do whatever you want, but the prerequisite is that you have to get his consent."

Chen Ge was determined to protect the haunted house even at the cost of his own life. Several security guards seemed to have received a notice from the management. Instead of confronting Chen Ge head-on, they found wooden boards and nails to seal the main door of the haunted house. Now even if Chen Ge had the key, he could not open the door for business.

"Let's go!"

After the security guard left, Chen Ge, holding a hammer, leaned against the wall and slowly sat on the ground. He was the only one left in the haunted house.

Silently hugging his head, Chen Ge clenched his teeth.

He didn't eat and stayed there until the afternoon. When the sun was about to set, Chen Ge came to the top floor of the haunted house alone.

He vaguely remembered that he had found something here, something that changed his life.

After searching everywhere but finding nothing, Chen Ge sat at the window exhausted.

At the moment of fate, Chen Ge saw the most desperate scene in his life.

Just across the street, in the Xinhai Central Hospital, in the third ward where he had lived, at the window where he had stood, Chen Ge saw Zhang Ya in her hospital gown!

With a blank look in her eyes, Zhang Ya stood woodenly in the room in her hospital gown. She lowered her head and looked at the white pill in her palm.

"Zhang Ya!"

Chen Ge grabbed the window frame with both hands. His voice was very loud, but Zhang Ya seemed to hear nothing.

His palm was cut by the window glass, and blood dripped down his arm to the ground, but Chen Ge seemed to feel no pain at all, his eyes were fixed on the ward in the distance.

The sun slowly sank into the horizon and night enveloped Xinhai.

The doctor closed the window of the ward and thick curtains blocked everything.

With blood on his palms, Chen Ge stood on the top floor of the haunted house, looking at the endless buildings in the distance.

"You guys are not even willing to give me false beauty?"

Picking up his backpack, Chen Ge went downstairs and entered the bathroom of the haunted house.

He first glanced at the cubicle door which had been closed at some point, and then smashed the cubicle door and the bathroom window with force.

After coming out of the haunted house, Chen Ge did not leave immediately, but turned back to take a look inside the haunted house.

A white cat was squatting obediently at the window. When it saw Chen Ge looking at it, it immediately ran over.

Rubbing the white cat's head, Chen Ge said softly: "The disaster has befallen me. The closer you are to me, the more dangerous it is, so don't come back to me again."

The white cat seemed unable to understand what Chen Ge said. It just ran a few steps after Chen Ge took a few steps forward.

When Chen Ge got into the taxi, it barked anxiously...

Arriving at the third ward, Chen Ge knocked on the door engraved with curses.

The spell-woman in red appeared quietly, and she seemed to have known that Chen Ge would come.

"I can give you my heart, but before that, I'm going to give my left eye to another ghost." Chen Ge's tone was frighteningly calm: "I will do everything I can to help you regain your memory, but I hope you can promise me one thing."

"Do you really have to use everything you have?" Dark black words quietly appeared. This was not what the curse girl had originally planned.

"That's right, the left eye, the heart, the head, the torso, you can take everything. I just hope you can leave my shadow behind so that I can stay behind her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ge took out a sharp knife from his backpack. The sharp blade reflected his face, and the remaining memories quickly flashed through his mind.

"I'll be her shadow this time."
