The school archives may contain information about the school's owner, the library may contain a mirror that leads to a blood-red world, and the oil painting studio in the experimental building is where Chen Ge promised Zhou Tu to go.
"Where should we go first?" Chen Ge looked at Zhou Tu: "I know the location of the Art Club, and I have seen the scene in your dream. I can take you there anytime, but are you really ready to awaken your memory?"
Zhou Tu didn't communicate much with Chen Ge, so he was a little overwhelmed by Chen Ge's sudden question.
Before he regained his memory, he always wanted to know what he had forgotten, but after seeing what happened to Zhang Ju and Wang Yicheng, he became hesitant.
"Are you ready to bear the past? Your memory has not been awakened, and you are just an insignificant student in this school. You can think about nothing and repeat a peaceful and beautiful day. Once your memory is awakened, you will be tracked down by the school administrators and there will be no way out." Chen Ge kept asking Zhou Tu, which was also a test. Among all the members of the club, Zhou Tu was the most opinionated.
"I thought about it and decided it would be better to regain my memory. Without the past, no matter how comfortable my life is, it's just deceiving myself." Zhou Tu's eyes moved to Zhang Ju and Wang Yicheng: "I wonder if my true appearance will scare myself to tears."
"You should think about it for a while." Zhang Ju's voice was hoarse. He turned his head to look at the burned face and said, "You give off a feeling that makes me very uncomfortable. The real you must be a terrifying monster."
Zhou Tu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. His eyes were vague and he seemed to be shaken inside.
"Let's go to the school archives first. You still have enough time to think about it." Chen Ge patted Zhou Tu's shoulder gently: "Don't feel pressured. I respect any choice you make."
"Thanks."
Zhou Tu lowered his head in thought. Zhang Ju beside him touched Chen Ge and said, "His true appearance must be very scary. If he can regain his memory, no matter what we want to do next, it will be easier."
"Everyone has their own choice, I won't interfere."
"You helped us awaken our memories so that we can get back to the past, increase our strength, and then help you achieve your own goals, right?" Zhang Ju was puzzled. He still clearly remembered what Chen Ge had said before, that they were just helping and using each other.
"I once read a sentence in a book that a rose blooms just because it blooms, without asking for anything in return. Although I can't be that selfless, at least I've experienced the pain you've experienced, and seeing you reminds me of myself." Chen Ge looked at the other club members seriously, "There's another point I want to reiterate. Our relationship is not about mutual exploitation, but win-win. Mutual respect is just the foundation."
Listening to Chen Ge's voice, at a certain moment all the evil spirits seemed to have forgotten that the man in front of them was just an ordinary person.
Maybe he just hasn't regained his memory yet.
Zhang Ju and Zhu Long nodded and followed Chen Ge.
Wang Yicheng opened his eyes filled with blood and tears, and seemed to agree with Chen Ge even more.
Zhou Tu, who was walking at the end, seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes gradually became firm.
Returning to the corridor again, Chen Ge hadn't taken a few steps when he felt something was wrong.
There was a strong stench in the air, a smell he had smelled in the laboratory building before.
A bad premonition appeared in his heart. The further Chen Ge walked forward, the more depressed he felt, as if he was walking at the bottom of a lake, with coldness coming from all directions.
"Those upside-down monsters are showing up again?"
Chen Ge did not look down. What happened had already happened. Looking down would only disrupt his judgment. He needed to leave the teaching building as soon as possible.
Standing with Zhang Ju, Chen Ge's pupils shrank and he lowered his voice: "Did you see those monsters in the corridor?"
"Monster?" Zhang Ju stared at the corridor, blood dripping down his coat. "There seems to be something, but they can't seem to hurt us."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ju saw his hair floating upwards, as if an invisible baby was grabbing his hair in the dark.
Tiny wounds began to appear on Zhang Ju and Wang Yicheng's bodies. The monsters were attracted by them.
"I can't see them, how can they hurt me?" The scars on Zhang Ju's face continued to bleed, and blood was flying on his body. Although his memory was awakened, he had not yet learned how to use this power.
"We can see them if we turn our sight upside down, but I don't recommend that."
"Why?"
"Because after watching it, you will become even more desperate."
Chen Ge signaled for them to leave the corridor immediately. It was unclear whether the monsters attacked Zhang Ju and Wang Yicheng out of instinct or because someone instructed them to do so. If it was the latter, it would be quite troublesome.
The stench around them was getting stronger and stronger, and Zhang Ju and Wang Yicheng had more and more wounds on their bodies. It was worth noting that for every wound that appeared on their bodies, a very thin black line would penetrate into their bodies, which looked like a curse.
As soon as they ran to the corner of the third floor, Wang Yicheng couldn't hold on any longer. His steps became weaker and weaker. "I felt like there were many things biting at my body, and my memory became fuzzy again."
"Teacher Bai, the situation is not good. There seems to be more dirty things downstairs." Zhou Tu said in a low voice. As soon as they arrived on the third floor, they smelled a pungent stench. What was even more strange was that the smell came from next to them.
Zhou Tu lowered his head and looked up at the place around him where the foul smell was coming from, just like he did when he picked up the kitchen knife before.
In the open space between him and Wang Yicheng, there was an upside-down human face. The monster's outer coat was tightly attached to its flesh and blood. It seemed to have no skin. Blood vessels were flowing under the clothes. The blood and clothes were stuck together, dyeing the entire clothes bright red!
"Wang, Wang Yicheng, that thing is right in front of you!" Zhou Tu screamed. His memory had not yet recovered, and when he suddenly saw such a scene, he was so scared that he almost fell down the stairs.
"I told you not to look at it a long time ago. Out of sight, out of mind." Chen Ge carried Wang Yichen on his back, stepped on the place where the stench was the strongest, and ran downstairs.
Zhou Tu covered his chest. The place where Chen Ge stepped just now was exactly the head of the monster. "Okay, I got it."
When they went down to the second floor, the stench filled the corridor, and Zhu Long, whose memory was loosened, became the target of the monsters.
Zhang Ju could still hold on, but Zhu Long and Wang Yicheng could no longer hold on. They could only move forward with the help of Chen Ge and Zhou Tu.
