"Don't worry about how I know that. Just keep talking." Chen Ge listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single word.

"That shadow seems to be chased by someone all the time, but as he grows up, he takes those people chasing him less and less seriously. It seems that the only place in Hanjiang that he dares not go to is the western suburbs."

The more Chen Ge listened, the more he felt that this shadow was the same one he encountered in Liwan Town, except that the shadow at that time had not yet differentiated into a ghost fetus, and its strength remained at its peak.

"Shadow searched all over Hanjiang and found nine shrines in total. The one behind me is just one of them. These nine shrines correspond to nine clay sculptures he made by hand. Each clay sculpture is a person and represents one of his bodies."

"Wait, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by each clay sculpture represents one of his bodies? Does that mean that if I destroy all the clay sculptures, it means I have killed him completely?" Chen Ge has now found three shrines, two of which are in the Virtual Future Paradise. However, one of the shrines does not contain a clay sculpture, so it is very likely a fake.

"I don't know either, but I advise you not to think so. That guy is different from ordinary evil spirits. You can't kill him." The man was desperate and told Chen Ge everything he knew: "I have carried this shrine for several years and found that the aura of the shadow remains on this shrine, as if the shrine is the shadow's body. I suspect that the shadow is using the shrine to make the clay sculpture adapt to its own aura, so that it can be parasitic on the fetus."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his breath was weak: "This shrine used to be very scary, but a while ago, I don't know what happened to Shadow, the aura on the shrine suddenly dropped sharply and became somewhat ordinary."

The period of time before that the man was talking about should be the time when Chen Ge and Dr. Gao killed Shadow in Liwan Town.

"It seems that Shadow's death did have a certain impact on the ghost fetus." Chen Ge stood up and looked at the shrine.

The inner wall of the shrine was engraved with the word "death". Unlike the shrine in the virtual future park, the shrine in this old house was stuffed with nine paper figures soaked in blood.

"Nine paper figures again?"

There was nothing on the paper figures, no names were written on them, and they all looked similar.

"Nine shrines, nine clay sculptures, nine paper figures, what exactly does this ghost fetus want to do?" Chen Ge frowned and thought: "If I were a ghost fetus, I would definitely not want to be disturbed by the outside world during this important moment of my parasitic life as a human..."

Chen Ge felt that he had grasped an important clue, but he had no time to think carefully because the man on the ground was about to disappear.

"Don't worry about me. I have that person's curse on me. When I say this, my soul is doomed to be torn apart." The man seemed to be very open-minded: "I thought I would succumb to the curse and eventually be forced to do something to hurt Fang Yu. Now this ending is the best for me."

"You injured me and my employees, and now you want to just walk away? Do you think that's possible?" Chen Ge let the red high heels watch the man, and slowly pulled out the curse from his body: "There are still people in this world who remember you. You are her obsession. You have to go see her no matter what."

"I can't go." The man's attitude suddenly changed: "As long as she thinks of anything related to me, the curse that Shadow planted on us will be triggered, and she will die!"

The man was extremely resolute: "I just said that Shadow plotted against me. When I first saw Fangyu's name on the clay sculpture, he secretly ran away to find Fangyu."

"I am a ghost. Being in the sun feels like a living person jumping into a fire pit. But in order to suppress the curse on my body and not hurt her, I still insist on meeting her during the day."

"The orphanage is no longer safe. The entire Hanjiang is no longer safe. She must leave."

"I know what she's going through and how difficult it is for her, so I've been trying to find ways to help her learn to live on her own."

"I taught her to sew the things she needs to do every day on her clothes. I asked her to develop the habit of putting her wallet, ID card and contact information in a fixed pocket before going to bed. Everything I did was to enable her to live a good life without me."

"But I didn't expect that this would fall right into Shadow's trap. The person he chose seemed to have to voluntarily cooperate with him to complete the final step. He has been using me all along."

The man was no longer able to struggle. There was anger, self-blame, and despair in his eyes. "Traces of the curse have begun to appear on Fang Yu's body. I don't know what I should do. I can only make her forget me. This should be a very simple thing for Fang Yu."

"I cleared out the orphanage's information, erased myself from the photos, and lied to Fang Yu the last time I accompanied her to the park."

"Every time she meets me, she asks me my name again. After hearing my answer, she becomes very happy, as if she hasn't forgotten me yet."

"But on the last day, when she asked me my name, I didn't tell her my name, but hers. I told her my name was Fang Yu, and I hoped she could remember me and never get lost."

"We stayed in the park until late, and I didn't take her home that day. I watched her walk across the intersection and stayed there alone."

The man's story filled the last gap, and Fang Yu's life appeared completely in Chen Ge's mind.

Fang Yu and the boy both grew up in an orphanage. One has a poor memory and always forgets the past; the other has a language barrier and keeps repeating the same words.

The two accompanied each other until one day they went to Dongjiao Reservoir and the boy sacrificed himself to save Fang Yu.

Due to the stimulation, Fang Yu's condition became more and more serious. However, at this time, the boy was framed by Shadow and sneaked out of the reservoir hut, wanting to take Fang Yu away from Hanjiang.

According to the recollections of the old man who was a gatekeeper at the welfare home, Fang Yu would sneak out of the welfare home during that period. The old man asked Fang Yu about it, and Fang Yu mentioned the word "kite".

If you think about it carefully, the day the boy disappeared was when the orphanage organized a spring outing to the eastern suburbs, and everyone was flying kites.

The kite itself was an important piece of information, but unfortunately the gatekeeper didn't think too deeply about it at the time.

The boy knew that he was cursed and could not stay with Fang Yu forever, so he kept helping Fang Yu to live independently.

This should have been the happiest time of their lives, but the good times didn't last long. The boy discovered Shadow's plan, and in the end Fang Yu had to forget about him.

The boy returned to the cabin and was abused by the shadow. Countless curses were cast upon him, turning him into a faceless monster.

On the other hand, Fang Yu, whose memory is getting worse and worse, goes to the small park every day to wait.

Gradually, she may have forgotten who she was waiting for, forgot the person's appearance and voice, and the only name left in her mind was Fang Yu.

Until one day, when the park was to be demolished and she could no longer wait for that person, Chen Ge found her.

Their story wasn't very beautiful, but it still touched Chen Ge a little.

He stood up and extended his hand to the man on the ground.

"You are worried that the curse will hurt Fang Yu, so I will help you remove the curse. You are worried that the ghost fetus and the shadow will retaliate, so why don't we join forces to kill them, so that no one can hurt you anymore."

The man didn't think Chen Ge could kill the ghost fetus. He thought Chen Ge was just comforting him.

"The shadow you were afraid of before has been eaten in Liwan Town. Let me think about which day it was?" After a while, Chen Ge accurately said a date, and this date was exactly the day when the aura on the shrine dissipated.

The man had not told Chen Ge the specific time before, but Chen Ge said it himself, so he believed that Chen Ge was not lying.

His eyes wandered between Chen Ge and the four people in red. Finally, the man gently touched Chen Ge's hand: "What do you want me to do? I'll listen to you."
