The sudden appearance of a figure made the atmosphere in the reading room tense. Chen Ge and his companions stood where they were, and no one moved forward.

"Would you rather believe the ghost behind the door than the living person outside it?" The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of strange eyes.

His right eye was the same as that of a normal person, but his left eye was blood red, like a glass bead soaked in red paint.

"Always alone."

With his lips moving slightly, Chen Ge said a name. He didn't expect to see the other person here.

"I know you have a lot of doubts now, but I don't have time to explain them to you. You just need to know that I will never harm you no matter what." Chang Gu raised the backpack in his hand: "This is your stuff. I brought it here for you."

Chang Gu was holding the backpack that Chen Ge had brought out of the haunted house. The zipper had been opened, and all the items inside were still there.

"Why is my backpack in your hands?" Chen Ge took a step forward.

"Don't go over there!" Zhang Ju stopped Chen Ge: "I don't remember this person. Things have changed."

Chang Gu also heard Zhang Ju's voice. He grinned and said, "You are really popular. You can make friends wherever you go."

Chang Gu stepped aside to make way for the passage, glanced outside the reading room, and spoke faster: "My sister gave me the backpack. She told me that you would definitely come here."

"Chang Wenyu?"

"Well, she will help you leave the school, provided you agree to cooperate with her." Chang Gu put down his backpack: "This is also the reason why you are here."

"It was Chang Wenyu who dragged me into the door? Did you two siblings team up to plot against me?" Chen Ge was used to thinking about things from the worst angle. He recalled the scene when he was dragged into the door in the hospital. The first hand that stretched out from the door was slender and weak. It was indeed a woman's arm.

"I just found out about many things, so this doesn't count as cheating. At least I have no intention of deceiving you." Chang Gu looked much better than before, as if he was a dozen years younger.

"Tell me, how does she want to cooperate?" Chen Ge felt that there was no one in this school that he could trust, and everyone was only interested in their own interests.

"Don't use that reluctant tone. She is trying to save you. The situation in this school is far more complicated than you guessed. Without her, you would never wake up." Chang Gu took the initiative to walk towards Chen Ge: "We are friends, friends with the same goals and understanding of each other."

Zhang Ju and Zhu Long stood on both sides of Chen Ge, and everyone looked at Chang Gu very cautiously.

"What do you need me to do?" Chen Ge didn't like beating around the bush, especially in a very dangerous place like behind a door.

"The painter is about to become the new door-pusher. The moment he becomes the door-pusher, all the souls behind this door will be imprisoned here forever, living in the beautiful paradise created by the painter." Chang Gu did not stop, he was already very close to Chen Ge.

"Isn't this good? Give the homeless souls a home, let them forget the pain and despair, and create a blood-red paradise." Chen Ge found that Chang Gu had really changed a lot. He could not sense any breath of a living person from him.

"Don't try to trick me. You know in your heart that there is no paradise in the world. The painter is just daydreaming. My sister wants to stop him, but her own strength is not enough, so she needs your help." Chang Gu ignored the two half-dressed people in red beside Chen Ge. His blood-red left eye was like a heart, beating slightly in his eye socket: "There are thirteen evil spirits in this school who are qualified to be door pushers. The painter is the strongest, followed by my sister. As for the remaining eleven, some surrendered to the painter, and some had their memories wiped out and became puppets."

"The difference in strength is too great. Even with me included, I don't think we can stop the painter." Chen Ge was not pouring cold water on Chang Gu. He was telling the truth. His greatest support, Zhang Ya, was still asleep.

"We don't need you to deal with the painter. You just need to awaken all the evil spirits that the painter has sealed."

"How do I do it specifically?" Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't have to deal with the painter.

"Haven't you done a good job?" Chang Gu raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Ju and the others: "These three are on the list."

"Among the four evil spirits around me, three are qualified to be door-pusher?" Chen Ge didn't expect his luck to be so good.

But if you think about it carefully, it is very abnormal that they are still isolated in the West Campus where only good memories are left.

Chen Ge was about to ask which of the four evil spirits was not qualified to be the door-pusher, but Chang Gu spoke again: "My sister will try her best to distract the painter. During this time, you must find as many evil spirits as possible that have been sealed by the painter and wake them up."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Ge had no choice but to agree. He couldn't afford to offend the painter and Chang Wenyu. Besides, awakening the evil spirit and accumulating strength were exactly what he wanted to do.

"I knew you would agree." Chang Gu looked at Chen Ge with satisfaction: "Finally, my sister has a few words she wants me to tell you."

"Chang Wenyu has something to say to me?" Chen Ge and Chang Wenyu had never met before, and he really didn't know why the other party valued him so much.

"Yes, she hopes that you can also gain the recognition of the school's will and be qualified to be the door-pusher." Chang Gu's blood-red left eye twitched slightly, as if he was observing Chen Ge's reaction.

"I don't want to be left behind the door forever." Chen Ge refused decisively.

"It's just to give you the qualification." Chang Gu's expression softened a little: "It will be easier for you to escape if you are recognized by the school's will."

"Then what should I do?" Chen Ge had heard some of what Zhou Tu said before, and he asked Chang Gu just to be on the safe side.

"This door is different from the other doors. The scene behind the door was divided into two parts by the painter, one half is normal, and the other half is blood red. I believe you have seen it, it is similar to the east and west campuses."

“The West Campus transported all the negative emotions and desperate memories to the East Campus to keep it clean. Then the painter transported the negative emotions accumulated in the East Campus to the other half of the blood-red scene.”

“The purified normal part behind the door is controlled by the painter, and the school’s will is hidden in the other half of the blood-red scene.”

"It's hard to explain, so it's better for you to go and see it yourself. But I hope you can be mentally prepared. The bloody side of this door is more excessive than any door you have seen before."

Chang Gu thought for a while, and after making sure that he had not forgotten to explain anything, he stepped aside and said, "The mirror next to the bookshelf is the entrance. Hurry up and get recognition. This abandoned school will soon become a mess."
