Perhaps the shock the dean brought to Sun Xiaojun was too great, and he developed a strong sense of self-doubt in his heart.
"Don't think too much. Whether you are the Seed of Curse or the Seed of Hope, the fact is that you saved everyone." Chen Ge pointed to the distance, where a woman in a red raincoat and a child in a blue raincoat were standing together.
After meeting again after a long separation, everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb them.
"Without you, Hong Yuyi might never be able to see her own child. You have brought a lot of beauty to everyone, and that is enough." Chen Ge continued to counsel Xiao Sun.
"I think I understand." Sun Xiaojun nodded: "Boss, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Go ahead."
"I won't go back to the horror house. I want to build a hospital on this ruin that can truly heal pain and despair." Xiao Sun smiled. "I am the curse seed. I will bring misfortune and disaster. This is inevitable. But I will use my own way to prove that the curse seed can not only bring happiness to myself, but also help others regain a new life."
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to call you Dean Sun from now on." During his time in the hospital, Xiao Sun grew very fast, and Chen Ge was more confident in him.
After handing the ruins of the Cursed Hospital to Xiao Sun, Chen Ge picked up his backpack and walked around.
After treating most of the employees, the red high-heeled shoes stood somewhere in a daze. Following her gaze, she saw a severely damaged operating table in front of her.
Chen Ge vaguely remembered that there was a favorability task about red high heels in the black phone. That task required Chen Ge to curse the operating room of the hospital.
But now the mobile phone cannot be turned on and the operating room is buried under the rubble.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Ge walked to the red high heels with his bag.
The red high heels shook her head, and there was a hint of confusion in her blood-red eyes.
After the dean's soul passed away, Xu Yin obtained most of the dean's remaining power. As for the strange curses in the cursed hospital, they were all obtained by the red high heels.
Once she digests those curses, she will definitely become the new cursed god.
"There are many ugly things in the world, but there are also many beautiful things. From now on, you should stay in the horror house, and we can go and see all the beauty in the world together."
Chen Ge learned the real name of the red high-heeled shoes in his nightmare, and there was no need to complete the favorability mission in the black phone.
The real name is the only weakness of the evil spirit who is good at cursing. Since the red high-heeled shoes are willing to let Chen Ge know her name, it means that Chen Ge is the only person she trusts.
Living people in this world can hardly find many people they can completely trust. For evil spirits who are suffering from pain, torture and despair, it is even more difficult to find someone who is completely trustworthy.
After hesitating for a moment, the red high heels nodded slightly.
She waved her arms, and countless curse threads poured into the ruins, and she found a medical record under the operating table.
The medical record included her old photos and her past stories.
The cursed thread tore the medical record into pieces, and the red high heels completely bid farewell to all the hatred and pain of the past.
After dealing with the matter of the cursed hospital, Chen Ge and many employees took his unconscious parents into the depths of the Blood City.
Before leaving, Chen Xiao pointed out the way for Chen Ge, and with several evil spirits around, they did not encounter any danger.
Passing through bloody streets and buildings covered in blood, they arrived at the center of the bloody city in the thick blood mist.
Looking at the building being built in the center of the Blood City, everyone stopped.
Near the center of the Blood City, there are blood buildings that are twenty or thirty stories high. Each floor is covered with blood threads and inhabited by hideous evil spirits. There is an abandoned bloody hospital that is as large as the Cursed Hospital and is filled with surging flesh and blood. There is also a black church that is made entirely of body parts, exuding a strong ominous atmosphere. There is even a half-dead evil god nailed to the top of the building.
Every building in the central area of the Blood City exudes an astonishing and terrifying atmosphere, but the building in the very center looks unremarkable and ordinary.
Touching the familiar guardrail, Chen Ge's eyes were complicated.
In the most central location of the Bloody City, a dilapidated haunted house was built. This haunted house is the same as the one in Hanjiang New Century Park.
“I didn’t expect this to be the building in the deepest part of Blood City.”
Chen Ge opened the guardrail and lifted the thick blackout curtain.
He was very familiar with everything here, and he even had an illusion that he had returned to reality.
"Is anyone there?"
Chen Ge entered the horror house accompanied by several evil spirits. He walked through the corridor and opened doors one by one, but he did not see anyone. It seemed to be an empty house.
"When the good thoughts dissipated, he said that someone was waiting for me in the deepest part of the Blood City. Chen Xiao also asked me to go into the deep part of the Blood City to find someone. Now I'm here, but why is this place empty?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ge suddenly remembered something. He entered the bathroom on the first floor of the haunted house and saw a blood-red door panel with a ghost pattern painted on it.
There are many bloody doors, but there are very few doors with evil spirit patterns engraved on the door panels.
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Ge's mind.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." A child's voice came from the bathroom mirror. Chen Ge turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the mirror.
His body involuntarily moved closer, his hands grasping the edge of the sink, Chen Ge stood in front of the mirror just like he did when he first undertook a nightmare-level mission: "Are you my kindness?"
The child in the mirror had a warm smile on his face. He shook his head gently: "I used to be your kindness, but now I represent the will of this bloody city."
"I saw in the memory of the director of the Cursed Hospital that you chose to merge with the Blood City in order to save the obsessions and evil spirits in the Black Tide. Fundamentally speaking, you still represent my kindness." Chen Ge didn't know why, but he didn't want to back down on this issue.
The child in the mirror did not argue with Chen Ge. He always had a smile on his face that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Can't you get out of the mirror? I want to see what pure kindness looks like. I also want to develop in this direction in the future. At least on the surface, I want everyone to think I am kind." Dragging the skull crusher with one hand, Chen Ge spoke his mind: "People always misunderstand me because I am too straightforward."
He looked at the child in the mirror, and it felt like he was talking to another self without having to hide any secrets.
"I have no entity, just a will. I must attach myself to an object in the Blood City to appear, and I can never leave the Blood City." This child obviously lives in the deepest part of the Blood City, but his voice is exceptionally gentle, and it is very comfortable to talk to him.
"After paying such a huge price, you should have gained abilities beyond your imagination." Chen Ge blinked, and the child in the mirror understood what Chen Ge meant.
"As the will of the Blood City, I can control all the doors here, allowing the Blood City to expand infinitely, and even allow the Blood City to slowly merge with reality."
"Merge with reality?" Chen Ge was a little surprised. If this was true, then the importance of the Blood City's will was self-evident.
Imagine if the dean's plan succeeded and he could control the Blood City through good thoughts, that would be a disaster.
"You should have seen an out-of-control door, right? When the person who pushed the door encountered an accident and I failed to close the door in time, the large amount of negative emotions accumulated in the Blood City would spread out from the door and gradually change reality." The child looked into Chen Ge's eyes and said softly.
“Since the appearance of doors will cause reality to collapse, why do you keep pushing open doors? You have connected reality and the Blood City, so the large amount of negative emotions accumulated here are likely to flood into reality again.” Chen Ge was a little confused. Shannian has a pure and kind heart, and he shouldn’t do something so risky.
"Then who do you think created the despair deposited in the Blood City and the Sea of Fog?" the child in the mirror asked back.
"A real person?"
"That's right. In fact, everyone has a well in their heart that is connected to the black fog sea. Despair, pain, a lot of negative emotions and unbearable memories all flow into the fog sea through this well. No one knows where the black fog sea is exactly. Maybe it is somewhere we can't see, maybe it is hidden in the deepest nightmare, or maybe it is hidden in everyone's heart. But no matter where it is, there is one thing we cannot deny, the black fog sea is expanding every moment." The tone of the child in the mirror gradually became serious: "If one day the fog sea expands to its limit and can no longer hold people's despair, what do you think will happen?"
"Backflow? Will despair keep bubbling up from the well in everyone's heart?"
"Yes, maybe the sea of fog is far from reaching its limit, but if it is not controlled, that day will come sooner or later."
"All the despair and forgotten painful memories of the people have entered the sea of fog, and the black sea of fog has appeared because of this. So what about the Blood City?" Chen Ge initially thought that the Blood City was the most terrifying, until the end when he discovered that there was actually a patch of black fog outside the Blood City.
"The reason why we are human is that even in the deepest despair, we can still retain a glimmer of hope. The black fog is pure despair and pain, representing death and oblivion, while the blood city is the last glimmer of hope left in the bloody humanity. The heart longing for redemption has built a bloody city, isolated from the sea of fog. As the sea of fog continues to expand, the blood city will also continue to expand, but normally the expansion speed of the blood city is far slower than the expansion speed of the black fog, so the meaning of my existence appears." The child in the mirror patiently explained to Chen Ge.
"You want to use the Blood City to destroy the Fog Sea?"
"As long as people still have despair in their hearts, the fog sea cannot be destroyed. What I want to do is to extradite the most desperate souls in reality to the Blood City, strengthen the Blood City, and prevent them from merging with the black fog." The child in the mirror looked out the window: "Every blood door in the Blood City represents a most desperate soul. The Blood City has expanded countless times over the years because of these souls."
The existence of the "gate" is for Blood City to extradite the most desperate people. After Chen Ge roughly understood this, many questions popped up in his mind.
Reaching out of his pocket and taking out a black phone, Chen Ge placed the phone with a broken screen in front of the mirror: "Dad's phone became like this because of you, right? Are you guiding me step by step?"
The child in the mirror did not deny it: "Do you remember the first nightmare-level mission? That mission started here. When you closed your eyes, I was standing in the mirror and looking at you. We were separated by the mirror like now, able to see each other, but never able to touch each other."
"So every mission and information was issued by you?"
“Mostly.”
"I see. That's why every star-level mission has the word 'Trial' in front of it, such as the two-star trial mission for Muyang Middle School, the three-star trial mission for the third ward, and so on." Chen Ge's mind turned very quickly: "But I still have a question. How did you unlock those props and scenes in my haunted house?"
"This is what I want to tell you next. As the Blood City expands crazily, it becomes increasingly unstable, despair is everywhere, and evil spirits are killing each other. They cannot be redeemed here. If they want to truly eliminate the resentment and despair in their hearts, they must return to reality." The child in the mirror said the craziest words with the most gentle expression: "I want this bloody city to become the intersection where the fog sea and the real world overlap."
"Are you crazy? If all these red-clothed ghosts were released back into the real world, the area within a hundred miles of Hanjiang would probably become a den of ghosts."
"So I have been trying cautiously, unlocking only one scene at a time, from weak to strong. You have done everything perfectly, and no accidents have happened so far. Your existence is a proof of my assumptions." The child in the mirror glanced at the black phone, and black and red blood threads emerged in the bathroom of the haunted house. They all drilled into the phone: "This phone contains my only obsession. I have used all the power of the Blood City to give it some of the abilities of the Blood City. The scenes in the basement of your haunted house are projections of the world behind the door. They will take root in reality and become the hub connecting the Blood City and reality."
The broken screen was repaired by the black and red threads in the Blood City. Those black and red threads exuded an aura that could rival that of the evil god. The child in the mirror seemed to be repairing the phone with the flesh and blood of the evil god.
"The negative emotions of the living are devoured by the evil spirits, while the evil spirits' despair, obsession and regrets are fulfilled in reality, so that the stability of the Blood City can be maintained to the greatest extent. Stabilizing the Blood City is only the first step. My real goal is still the desperate fog sea. I can't make the fog sea disappear completely, but I will control the Blood City and do my best to suppress it, and strive to redeem more desperate souls." The child in the mirror returned the repaired black phone to Chen Ge: "I have been in a very dangerous situation before. The director of the Cursed Hospital stole my past body and imprisoned our parents. He always uses these to interfere with me and wants to seize control of the Blood City, but now I have no worries anymore."
The child in the mirror could not leave the blood city, and the cursed hospital kept moving in the black fog. If it weren't for Chen Ge, when the dean completely devoured Chen Ge's parents, the ending would really be unknown.
Holding the repaired black phone, Chen Ge recalled the scene when he first found the black phone. That day seemed to be just yesterday.
"Do you have any more questions?"
"Well, actually, there is something I have always been confused about, so I just want to ask you in person today." Chen Ge pressed the power button again: "There is a turntable in this black phone. You can get more turns by inputting the scream value of tourists. I have turned it many times, but I have never got anything good. I just want to ask if the rewards written next to the turntable really exist? For example, spiritual fruits that increase lifespan? Medicines that improve physical fitness, etc.?"
"Those are just white-intentioned lies to motivate you. There are only evil spirits, items related to evil spirits, and some debris left by the dead in the Blood City on the turntable." The child in the mirror said calmly.
"You are so shameless, but you can still have good intentions. This makes me have a new understanding of myself." Chen Ge looked at the slowly lighting up phone screen and shook his head slightly.
