After listening to the burn doctor's words, Chen Ge finally understood that the passengers on the hearse all had their own unspeakable pasts. They had secrets buried in their hearts, and they took the bus to the terminal late at night for that slim hope.

These were a group of pitiful people. Chen Ge was wondering whether he should tell them the truth.

If they don't tell anyone, they might still hold on to a glimmer of hope and try to survive.

After saying this, these passengers are very likely to collapse due to losing their last hope.

"The final destination of the hearse is Liwan Town, a place affected by the world behind the door, full of despair and evil. All their efforts are doomed to be in vain. I can't watch them sink deeper and deeper. People who have given so much deserve to be treated well by life."

Simply telling them the truth will only make them collapse, but if you give them new hope at this time, that will be a different situation.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Ge decided to help them in his own way.

"What are you thinking about?" The burn doctor asked softly when he saw Chen Ge suddenly become dazed.

Chen Ge did not reply. His mind was working rapidly. Within a few seconds, the stories of Wang Qi, Xu Yin, Dr. Gao and others emerged in his mind. He could easily fool people by taking any one of the things they experienced and applying it to himself.

"It's okay if you can't tell me. Maybe we'll meet on this bus again in the future." The man glanced at Chen Ge and moved his lips slightly: "Is this your first time taking this bus?"

"Yes." Chen Ge nodded.

The burn doctor moved closer to Chen Ge and lowered his voice to the lowest level: "When we get there, if someone asks you to choose between paying and suffering, remember, you must choose to suffer."

"What do you mean?" Chen Ge was very keen to sense something was wrong: "I want to find my friends, but I still need to pay and endure something? Brother, what is at the terminal?"

The doctor slowly turned his head and looked around before speaking: "There is a ghost building in that town. In the building you can hear the voices of the people you want to see. If you want to find them, you have to pay a price."

Chen Ge kept the doctor's words in mind. The doctor revealed a very important clue: there was a ghost tower in Liwan Town.

He also lowered his voice: "Brother, I just want to see my friend. Do I have to pay a price to see him?"

"There is no one-sided gain in the world. If you want to see your friend, you must bear something or pay a price." The doctor himself did not seem to have any bad intentions. He took off his gloves and gently opened his sleeves. He tied red lines on his skinny arms and said, "This is used to ward off evil spirits. Every time I enter the Hades Tower, I choose to bear it. When I come out of the Hades Tower, I always feel heavy on my shoulders, as if something is lying on my back and coming out with me."

Chen Ge knew what the man meant by "responsibility". No wonder the doctor's body was emitting coldness and was very weak. The mastermind behind this was using these desperate and poor people to raise ghosts and use them as containers for ghosts.

This is essentially the same as those members of the Ghost Story Association, but there are differences. These passengers do not know that their bodies have become the home of ghosts and their emotions have become food for ghosts. They do not have the ability to control ghosts and can only passively endure it, which makes it easier to control.

"What do you mean by giving? Why don't you let me choose this?"

"The foolish father sitting next to me chose to give. At the beginning, you only need to give your nails and hair, but the more time passes, the more terrible things you have to give, such as teeth, fingers, your own conscience, and the better side of human nature." The doctor's voice was very low. If Chen Ge did not have the ability of ghost ears and good hearing, he would not be able to hear clearly.

"Conscience can also be paid?"

"It will make you do some things in the town, such as stealing, robbing, or even killing something. After you choose to pay, you will find that you are becoming less and less like yourself." Seeing that Chen Ge was still very curious and did not seem to be afraid at all, the doctor was too lazy to explain further: "You just need to remember that all those who choose to pay, after giving everything, never leave that building again."

“Are you giving up everything yourself?” Without conscience, humanity and memory, they had already lost themselves in the process of continuous giving.

Chen Ge felt that the people the doctor was talking about were very similar to the murderers in the game. They were full of malice, extremely aggressive, and very dangerous.

“If the town in the game represents the world behind the gate of Liwan Town, those who choose to pay will most likely be sent inside the gate in the end.”

Those who choose to place their hopes on others become vessels for the ghosts behind the door and are slowly devoured; those who choose to give become monsters in the world inside the door.

Chen Ge compared the styles of the Ghost Story Association and the mastermind behind the East Suburbs. The Ghost Story Association had people control ghosts and study how to control the "door", but the situation in the East Suburbs was completely the opposite. The person behind the scenes seemed to be letting ghosts control people, and then constantly supplying "nutrients" to the "door", making the already out-of-control door even more difficult to close.

If Dr. Gao is a person who has reached the extreme of both rationality and madness, then the mastermind behind Dongjiao is a completely hysterical ghost. He does not regard people as human beings at all and tramples on beautiful things at will. He has become completely twisted and perverted.

"This is really a terrifying opponent." Chen Ge figured out a lot of things through talking to the doctor, and he slowly calmed down: "A shadow in the water plant can fight with Zhang Ya who has not yet recovered. Could the real body of that shadow really be the one in red?"

In the past, Chen Ge would run away when he saw someone in red, without saying a word. Now, as Xu Yin and Bai Qiulin grew up step by step, he finally overcame his fear of red clothes, but then something even more bizarre appeared.

He couldn't be sure of the other party's strength. Thinking about how his parents disappeared in the eastern suburbs, Chen Ge suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the electric bike parked in the middle of the bus aisle and muttered quietly, "Have I been too high-profile recently?"

The red raincoat is also red, but even though he knew his child might be in the car, he still didn't dare to step into the hearse. This also indirectly reflects the horror of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Since he was able to scare the red-clothed girl like this, I need to re-evaluate his strength."

Chen Ge muttered to himself in his seat. The burn doctor next to him thought he was frightened by what he said and comforted him softly: "As long as you choose to bear it, it will be fine. Before you can't bear it anymore, maybe you can hope to see her."

The doctor's wish was simple. Chen Ge didn't want to watch him walk into the abyss step by step. He decided to redeem these people in his own way: "In fact, I know another way to see them, and it doesn't cost such a heavy price."

"What method?" The doctor raised his eyebrows slightly, and was very interested in what Chen Ge said.

Turning his head and looking directly at the doctor, Chen Ge said, "Have you heard of the Ghost Story Association?"
