The black shadow was similar in size to Chang Gu, but his movements were agile and he didn’t look like a nearly blind person at all.
Chen Ge did not dare to go out rashly. He wanted to continue observing for a while, but the other party ran directly to the other side of the corridor, as if looking for something.
"Is that Chang Gu? Has his eyes returned to normal?"
The teaching building was pitch black. Even though Chen Ge had Yin pupils, he still walked carefully.
"Teacher, is that someone you know? Should we follow him?"
"It's better to have less trouble than more. Let's go to the top floor first." Chen Ge kept his eyes on the black shadow. The other party did not leave, but entered another classroom.
There were other people in the teaching building late at night, which increased the variables. Chen Ge didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Several people came to the fourth floor. The toilet was on the other side of the corridor and they had to cross the long corridor to get there.
"No matter what sound you hear, don't answer it. No matter what you see, don't leave the team. Do you understand?" Chen Ge gave the club members a few instructions, then carried Wang Yichen into the corridor.
He lowered his body and glanced at the classrooms on both sides with the corner of his eye.
It was pitch black inside the window and I couldn't see anything.
The club members followed Chen Ge, trying their best not to look to the sides. However, the more they told themselves not to look around, the more they uncontrollably glanced to other places.
"What is that?"
The classrooms here seemed not to have been cleaned for a long time. When Zhou Tu passed by a window, he saw some strands of things that looked like hair under the window frame. It felt as if there was a girl lying on the window seat in the classroom.
“It can’t be a real person, right?” Zhou Tu stood on tiptoe. He kept walking forward, tilted his head slightly, and looked under the window sill of the classroom.
"The hair... is moving?"
Before Zhou Tu could see clearly, his body suddenly hit something. Caught off guard, he lost his grip on the kitchen knife and the rusty knife fell to the ground.
The rusty kitchen knife made a slight sound when it collided with the floor tiles. In the teaching building late at night, the sound was extremely harsh.
Everyone stopped and Chen Ge looked at Zhou Tu: "What are you doing?"
"I accidentally bumped into Zhang Ju." Zhou Tu covered his nose and pointed at Zhang Ju who was standing there in a daze. He found that Zhang Ju looked a little strange: "You were walking just fine, why did you suddenly stop?"
Zhang Ju didn't reply. He looked up at the photo on the wall, his mouth slightly open and his pupils shrank into a point.
"Zhang Ju?"
No matter how others called out to him, Zhang Ju did not respond. He stared at the photos on the wall, his calm eyes tinged with a hint of sadness.
He had suffered a mental breakdown and hysterics when he saw the kitchen knife that killed the girl in the woods, and now he has become completely different from before.
There was no crazy screaming, nor did he resort to self-harm to ease the mental pain. He just stood quietly in front of the photo.
"I've seen this doctor before."
His voice was so soft that only people around him could hear it.
"The fire burned one-fifth of my skin. I watched my flesh burn and smelled the stench of my body until my eyes melted and my eyelids stuck together. My world fell into darkness."
“I was taken to hospital because it was so painful that I couldn’t feel the pain.”
"I couldn't open my eyes, my nose was burned off, two-thirds of one ear was left, and one-third of the other ear was left."
"I became a monster, I couldn't see myself anymore, but I knew I wasn't me anymore, I couldn't go back and live like a human being."
“Have you ever tried to listen to your family’s voices with two-thirds of your ears?”
"Someone is trying to save me. I can feel my body getting more and more painful. I'm getting closer and closer to being alive, but how can I wake up?"
"My eyes were cut open by something cold and cleaned bit by bit. My left eye was taken out and I could vaguely see a gray world with my right eye."
"I can't sense light. All I see with my right eye are shadows. Do you think I should continue to live?"
Zhang Ju pressed his hand against the photo on the wall. His face was bleeding and tiny lines of blood were emerging from under his skin, like needles and thread used for surgical sutures.
"I know this doctor. He stayed with me for a week. Death wanted to take my life, and he was gambling with death."
His voice became increasingly hoarse, as if Zhang Ju's throat had been burned by fire, and his appearance was also gradually changing.
Scars and bloodshot spread across his face, his ears began to wither like flowers, and the eyelid of his left eye slowly melted.
"I didn't say a word to him, but I was impressed by him. He was one of the three people who accompanied me in the last moments of my life."
The guilt for the deceased opened the lock in Zhang Ju's memory. The doctor who had treated him made the originally vague memory clear. The fragments of memory in his mind were pieced together. Blood seeped out from under his skin, as if a healed scar had burst open again.
The blood gathered into beads and dripped onto Zhang Ju's coat. His coat was turning red little by little. "If you were in the same situation as me, would you choose to live or die?"
"Half-body red clothes? After the memory is restored, the evil ghost will return to its original appearance? Could it be that the female ghost in the tree hole cannot maintain a normal human form because her memory has not been completely erased?" Chen Ge's eyelids twitched slightly, but his reaction was much better than that of other club members.
Zhou Tu didn't even bother to pick up the kitchen knife. He grabbed Zhu Long's arm, and the two of them retreated three meters away unknowingly.
No one responded. Zhang Ju slowly moved his eyes away from the photo and looked at Chen Ge: "I remember who I am. Can you tell me who you are now?"
The two stood in the dark corridor, looking at each other.
"You asked me this question before, and I gave you the answer before." Chen Ge stood still without taking a step back. "We are the same kind. I want to recover my forgotten memories. Helping you is also helping myself."
"You're lying!" Zhang Ju reached out to grab Chen Ge, but he stopped when his fingers were about to touch Chen Ge.
"Why stop?" Chen Ge took a step forward, and he got close to Zhang Ju's desperate and horrified face: "Are you afraid that after you kill me, another me will stand up from my corpse? Are you afraid of me in red?"
Grabbing Zhang Ju's shoulders with both hands, Chen Ge's expression was extremely crazy. He moved his hands on Zhang Ju's shoulders, and finally slowly lifted up Zhang Ju's face and gently touched his forehead.
"Kill me? Do you dare?"
Not only Zhang Ju, but also Zhou Tu and Zhu Long who were hiding behind were frightened.
The corridor was completely silent. After a long while, Chen Ge let go of Zhang Ju. He looked at the other members of the club in the corridor and said, "I just want to find my lost memories. If you help me, you are helping yourselves, and vice versa."
