After going around in circles, Chen Ge finally found the real owner of the ghost school. Although he only saw one of the other party's hands, this was also a great progress for Chen Ge.
"Just now I heard someone ask in my ear, "Are you willing to be my friend?"
"This sentence didn't come from the phone. I heard it clearly coming from my ear."
"It's possible that he didn't say this to Lin Sisi, but to me."
Chen Ge looked back and saw that the black and red blood vessels in the toilet cubicle had begun to fall off in large flakes, just like fallen leaves in autumn, completely losing their vitality.
"Did you promise him?"
Wang Yicheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed on Chen Ge's back, suddenly spoke. He buried his head in Chen Ge's shoulder and spoke in a low voice that could not be heard without careful listening.
"I guess so. He looks very pitiful." Chen Ge's neck was tightly strangled by Wang Yicheng. Their bodies were pressed together. He could feel that Wang Yicheng's body temperature was constantly dropping.
"All his friends are dead, all dead!" A ticking sound came from behind Chen Ge. He felt his shoulder was a little wet, and when he turned around, he saw that his left shoulder was soaked with blood.
The bright red color looks a bit dazzling.
"You..." Chen Ge threw Wang Yicheng off his back. The child waved his hands helplessly, scratching the air hard, blood and tears seeping from his tightly closed eyes: "Did you remember something?"
Revisiting the old place, Wang Yicheng's memory was triggered. He didn't open his eyes until he heard what Chen Ge said and realized what had happened.
"You can't escape. You promised that man that he will come to find you. No matter where you go, he will find you!" Wang Yicheng's voice changed a lot. He fell into madness, which was completely different from the cowardice he showed at the beginning.
"If he doesn't come to see me, I will go to see him. I like making friends in every sense of the word." Chen Ge has many friends, but they are not around, so he also wants to make some new friends.
The blood seeping from Wang Yicheng's eyes slid down his cheeks, staining his coat red. The bright blood bloomed on his skin like flowers. This seemingly thin boy actually had the potential to become a red-clothed man.
"I'm becoming more and more interested in the owner of the school. How did he get all of you in one by one?" Chen Ge didn't expect that each of the few club members he found at random was not simple. This was certainly due to luck, but it also showed the horror of the ghost school from another perspective.
A half-body red dress is enough to support an ordinary two-star scene, and in the ghost school, Chen Ge saw several people in red or suspected red clothes.
"Are you trying to cover up your inner panic by making constant jokes?"
Hearing Wang Yicheng say this, Chen Ge was even more certain that he had recovered his memory. In the past, Wang Yicheng was timid and cowardly, and would never raise any objections, but would just obey blindly.
"I'm not kidding. If you have the despair to push open the 'door', you must have had hope, even if that hope has long been crushed. I sincerely want to help him, and becoming his friend is just the first step." Chen Ge carried Wang Yicheng on his back and walked out of the toilet: "Have you noticed that most of the children in this school have deformed childhoods, or are born with physical defects, or their personalities have become distorted due to certain external factors. Each of them has their own unbearable memories."
"What do you want to say?"
"I'm very curious about what the owner of the school has experienced in the past. As the one who pushes the door, what kind of experience made him push open this 'door'?"
"If you agree to be his friend, you will be kept here forever. This school was not that big before. It has become what it is now because of the constant addition of despair and pain." After Wang Yichen said this, the blood stopped oozing from his eyes, but his body was still shaking.
"It seems you know a lot." Chen Ge felt that this school was very similar to his haunted house, except that the haunted school was constantly looking for desperate students, or in other words, attracting children who exuded despair, while Chen Ge's haunted house welcomed everyone: "This school has been around for many years, right?"
"All I can remember is that I was here when I opened my eyes. I didn't have the experiences that Zhang Ju had. I died in this school and was reborn here. I have forgotten many things. I only know that the scale of this school is constantly expanding."
"Why are you here? Is this Lin Sisi's punishment for you?" Chen Ge asked another question that he was very curious about.
Wang Yicheng paused for a long time before speaking: "I am the only one who was spared by Lin Sisi. The reason I came here is that after Lin Sisi disappeared, I became his replacement. The panic and anxiety of my classmates turned into violence and happened to me. One night when I was about to collapse, that door found me."
"And then you came in? According to Zhang Ju, the door would be far away from where you sleep when it first appears, and then slowly approach you every day..." Chen Ge was interrupted by Wang Yicheng before he could finish his words.
"He was completely passive, and I was active. I wanted to find a corner to hide, and besides..." Wang Yicheng hesitated for a long time before revealing another secret: "The hand that stretched out the door was painted with all kinds of paint. It was Lin Sisi's hand. He was inviting me, and I also wanted to say sorry to him in person. I actually reported it to the teacher that day, but he didn't come."
"What else do you know about Lin Sisi and this door?"
"No, I didn't see Lin Sisi when I entered the door. I haven't seen him until today." Wang Yicheng loosened his hands: "You can let me down."
"Are you sure you're not lying?" Chen Ge put Wang Yicheng down. "At the entrance of the toilet in the West Campus, as soon as your memory started to falter, the school administrator showed up immediately. If I hadn't knocked you out, I'm afraid we would have been caught by now. Your treatment is completely different from that of Zhang Ju and Zhu Long."
"Maybe it's because Lin Sisi is his friend, and I am Lin Sisi's friend."
Several people walked through seven compartments one by one. These compartments recorded what Lin Sisi had experienced. What was captured by the mobile phone should only be a part of it.
"I can't imagine what the person who pushed the door had experienced before." When he was about to leave the toilet, Chen Ge looked at the seventh cubicle: "It can be confirmed that the door is in the seventh cubicle. If you want to know the owner of the school, you just need to investigate all the incidents that happened in the toilets in this school."
Based on the clues he had obtained, Chen Ge planned to go to three places: the school archives, the school library, and the oil painting studio in the experimental building that Zhou Tu had promised him.
