He had not met the man for a few days, but Chen Ge realized that Director Luo suddenly had new confidence in New Century Park, and this confused him.
"Director Luo, you have to think about this closely. The distance between our New Century Park and the futuristic theme park in terms of technical power cannot be resolved by buying some new devices or attractions." Chen Ge believed that Director Luo should have been more familiar with that than he was.
"Updating the attractions is to shorten the distance. The influence of your Haunted House is still growing, so the park mustn't pull you back; we have to update accordingly." Director Luo knew what Chen Ge was worried about. "The budget is already there. Don't underestimate the power that the theme park has collected over the years."
Before the workers, Director Luo always maintained his look of confidence like everything was within his control. Of all the people there, probably only Chen Ge really understood Director Luo's difficulty. The theme park already had no money, and this new asset was probably something that Director Luo collected through his connections and channels with some sacrifices.
Updating the attractions and building the multi-purpose hall required a great amount of money, but since Director Luo had said that, Chen Ge would not counter him in front of the crowd. Everyone was working to save the theme park. The futuristic theme park in Eastern Jiujiang was opening in a few weeks, and this was the most crucial moment for New Century Park. Their morale could not be shaken at a time like this.
The park opened at 9 am, and Chen Ge's Haunted House had become the park's main attraction. Thus, he had the most visitors. In just a few minutes, a long line had formed in front of the Haunted House. The visitors realized the changes in front of the Haunted House, and many downloaded the app. Initially, they were merely curious, but they slowly realized that the app was quite interesting.
The visitors that came early in the morning were mostly the Haunted House's loyal fans. They had a shared interest, and after downloading the app, they started chatting on the forum.
"I, Ol' Zhang, have returned! This time, I will clear this one-star scenario!"
"First group to challenge three-star Coffin Village today! Bringing two girls with me!"
"Mu Yang High School looking for teammate, no heart problem and will not abandon teammates during crucial moment."
"Fighting for the dead, protecting the living! Communication thread for Jiujiang Medical School students!"
The forum quickly became rife with activity. The visitors were all very passionate—it felt like this one app had gathered everyone with the same interest, giving them a place to share their thoughts, thus cultivating loyalty in the fans of the Haunted House. As the visitors entered the Haunted House and the ranking on the big monitor changed, the visitors waiting also became more excited.
The points earned from clearing a three-star scenario was the highest, so the number of visitors wanting to attempt three-star scenarios increased. Chen Ge did not have time to rest; he kept moving between the few underground scenarios to prevent any accidents. He busied himself until noon when Director Luo came over again. After confirming the popularity of the app, he left with a satisfied smile.
Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu left for lunch, and Chen Ge left the underground at around 2 pm. He was rather tired from so many visitors. Most visitors just passed Mu Yang High School and directly moved to challenge Third Sick Hall or Coffin Village. This meant that the screams had not stopped from the underground.
Chen Ge ran back and forth between the few scenarios. He had just helped the visitors out from the Third Sick Hall when he heard the blood-curdling scream from Coffin Village. In the end, he had to ask help from Ol' Zhou's group. He did not need them to scare people but needed them as ushers to prevent the wandering visitors from running into accidents.
The moment they appeared, they were ready to do something big, but after strong persuasion from Chen Ge, they finally surrendered to his demand. Afraid that their faces might be recognized, Chen Ge ran to the changing room to pick out outfits that would cover up their faces before letting them go. Chen Ge sighed in relief with the help of the three ghosts.
No one cleared the three-star scenarios, and no visitors fainted from the scare—this was the best solution for Chen Ge so far. The few scenarios opened at the same time, and Chen Ge felt greatly pressured. He really needed a managerial ghost. "If I have nothing to do tonight, I should return to Mu Yang High School."
Chen Ge sent off the last visitor at 6 pm. He called Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu, telling them to remove the make-up and leave work. After dealing with everything, Chen Ge returned to the staff breakroom and climbed into bed. "After a whole day of work, I don't feel that tired. I wonder if my body is changing or if I've gotten used to this type of high-stress lifestyle?"
Just as Chen Ge was wondering what to do that night, his phone rang. He realized that it was a call from Lee Zheng.
"Do you need my help now?" Chen Ge was working with the police for the first time. He did not know what he was expected to do.
"Chen Ge, I have something to tell you." Lee Zheng seemed to be at the office—the background was quiet. "Liu Zhe has just come to surrender."
"Surrender?" Chen Ge sat up in bed. With Liu Zhe's selfish personality, he would not do something like this.
"We suspect that Doctor Gao has realized something and decided to give up on Liu Zhe and push the blame onto him."
"That's impossible. That Liu Zhe has a lot of resentment toward Doctor Gao. If something really happened, he would have dragged Doctor Gao down with him." Chen Ge managed the Haunted House and would come into contact with many people, so he was a good people reader.
"Let me finish. Even though Liu Zhe came to confess his crimes, his condition is very off. He looks very distracted like he is in a state of sleep-walking." Lee Zheng also felt that something was off. "We are thinking along the line of hypnosis or mental suggestion, but Jiujiang doesn't have this type of expert, and we cannot do anything for now."
"Meaning the trail on Liu Zhe has gone completely cold?" Liu Zhe's condition was similar to Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin that day when they returned to their bedroom. Chen Ge believed that this was the doing of that ashy-skinned woman.
"Unfortunately, that is the case until he recovers." There was helplessness in Lee Zheng's voice. This time, their opponent had covered up everything, not giving them a chance. "Therefore, we hope you can gain contact with Gao Ru Xue silently and the actual details that we need you to get from her. I will send you an email tomorrow; this call is just a reminder."
"Of course, I understand." After receiving the black phone, Chen Ge had troubled the police many times, and now that they needed his help, of course, he would not reject it.

After getting the reply from Chen Ge, Lee Zheng sounded more relaxed. The man also could not understand why he would feel pressure whenever he talked to Chen Ge. "If there's nothing else, I shall hang up. Rest early."
Lee Zheng was about to hang up, Chen Ge said, "Wait a minute, I have a question."
"Yes?"
"When Liu Zhe surrendered, did he give up the location where he hid the body, and was the body found?"
"It is as we thought. Liu Zhe was university staff, so he used the convenience of his identity to have the students move the statue into the underground storeroom. He went there later at night to remove the body from inside the statue and transport it to the morgue." Lee Zheng's voice lowered like he remembered something traumatic.
"Meaning you have entered the underground morgue?" Chen Ge listened closely. The underground morgue was a three-star scenario and was the last mission to unlock the four-star scenario School of the Afterlife, so any information related to the underground morgue was crucial to him.
"I entered the morgue with the university staff this morning and found the body in morgue no. 5. We ran a DNA comparison, and she was indeed Ma Yin's missing sister."
When Lee Zheng said that, Chen Ge's black phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that there was a new message. He did not read it immediately but continued to question Lee Zheng. "Brother Zheng, can you tell me about the layout of the underground morgue? Or do you have the map?"
The underground had complicated terrain, and a map would be important. Lee Zheng was thirty so, it was not out of place for Chen Ge to refer to him as Brother Zheng. However, for some reason, when he heard that, the hair on the back of his head stood like something bad was about to happen. "We don't have a map as we had the university staff with us, but I do know the rough layout. Why are you asking about this?"
"I'm just curious." Chen Ge moved the topic around before Lee Zheng finally gave him the information he needed.
"The underground morgue at the university was the biggest underground morgue in Jiujiang, perhaps even in Northern China. It had been in use since the university started, so it had more than several decades of history already. When we entered, the staff told us not to wander off because the tracks were very confusing, but based on their function, they could be generally separated into three types.
"One was the white corridors that were used to transport the bodies, another was the unpainted corridors for people to walk, and the last type was painted red. The staff did not tell me what the red corridors were for, but he did remind us to not walk down the red corridors." Lee Zheng's words intrigued Chen Ge. He was hearing about these red corridors for the first time. "Could it be due to the influence of the 'door'?"
"Hmm, what did you say?" Lee Zheng did not catch Chen Ge's mumbling.
"Nothing, please continue."
"How big the underground morgue was, the staff were not clear. There were six morgues on the records, but after we entered the place, we only walked a third of the distance, and we had already passed three small morgues and two middle-sized morgues." Lee Zheng sounded like he had something to do because he picked up his speed. "The largest morgues are deeper in, and I hear they are body pools. Meaning it's a big pool filled with formalin, and the dead bodies are left soaking in the pool. When they are needed for experiments, they have to be hauled up to land. However, that was something used many years ago; they have been abandoned. Nowadays, they use freezers to store the bodies."
Lee Zheng gave Chen Ge a brief introduction of the morgue, but it was not of much use to Chen Ge. The place was too complicated and without a guide, Chen Ge felt like it would be very dangerous if he entered alone.
"Brother Zheng, when you all were down there, did you hear any weird noises? Or did anything weird happened?" The underground morgue was similar to his own Haunted House's underground parking lot—the ghosts could come up in the day because the place was hidden from the sunlight.
"Anything weird?" Lee Zheng paused to think. "Now that you mention it, there are a few. We were passing through the unpainted corridors for people, but when we passed a white corridor, we heard something that sounded like clapping at the end of the corridor."
Chen Ge was interested. "Can you tell me in more detail?"
"It sounded like something was clapping at the other end of the corridor, but when we passed it, there was no one. However, there was this weird observation where the white corridors were cleaner than the unpainted corridors, like people still used them to this day." Chen Ge took out a pen and paper to jot down all the details that Lee Zheng gave him.
"The second strange event was, when we passed Morgue No. 1, a member saw someone moving inside the morgue, but the morgue was locked, and we should have been the only ones underground at that time. We asked one of the staff, and he said that the member was probably too tired. The underground morgue was stuffy, so the member probably mistook a shadow for a person. He even consoled my member, saying that he would get used to it.
"The third strange event happened after we entered Morgue No. 5. When everyone was looking for the body described by Liu Zhe, the door suddenly closed on its own. It felt like someone close it from the outside, trying to lock us in.
"The last thing happened when we prepared to leave with the body. We exited Morgue No. 5 and retraced our steps, but the time it took us to leave was twice the time it took us to enter." The fourth strange event confused Lee Zheng the most. Even now, he could not figure out why. "You might not believe me, but it was a strange feeling, like the corridors had been stretched."
"You make it sound so scary." Chen Ge looked at the paper and the details that he had jotted down.
"Not quite scary." Lee Zheng seemed to hear something in Chen Ge's voice, and he changed his tone. "Chen Ge that place is particularly dangerous. Don't you come up with some weird thought."
"What kind of weird thought could I have?" Chen Ge was speechless. "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"I'm just reminding you not to go there alone. I still have something to do, so I'll hang up now." Lee Zheng then ended the call. Chen Ge sat in the room alone. He realized that he had underestimated the danger of the underground morgue.
"Both Coffin Village and the Third Sick Hall were three-star scenarios, but the scariest presence of the place had been removed due to some reason, and I was lucky in that sense."
When Chen Ge arrived at the Third Sick Hall, of the ten patients only three remained, and it was even luckier for Coffin Village; the strongest ghost had been in Jiang Ling's body, and she had meant Chen Ge no harm.
"A full three-star scenario is still too dangerous for my current state." Chen Ge turned to look at his shadow, and he felt conflicted.

If this three-star scenario had been at an open space, Chen Ge would not have been so conflicted. With the help of his workers, if he could not win the fight, at least he could have made a swift retreat. However, the problem was, the morgue was underground. If something happened, there was no place for him to run, and there was a high chance that he might be trapped down there.
Holding the pen and paper, Chen Ge made a quick assessment of the baleful Specters that he had on his side. "Technically speaking, my Haunted House can be considered a three-star scenario. I have many ghosts and most of them have special powers, but generally, their combat ability is very weak."
Eighty percent of the Haunted House's combat power came from Zhang Ya, fifteen percent was Xu Yin, and the last five percent was everyone else. "I have the power to force my way through other three-star scenarios, but I'll need to wait for Zhang Ya to wake up first."
Honestly, there were ways to make Zhang Ya wake up sooner—Chen Ge only needed to find other female ghosts to chat with. However, should Zhang Ya wake up from that provocation, he might be the one who died. Chen Ge lay in bed. He told himself that he probably should not rely on Zhang Ya so much, but it felt nice having someone to depend on.
"The other Specters at the Haunted House have potential to improve. Xu Yin's heart hasn't been dyed red yet, and he is just one step away from becoming a real Red Specter. This last step should be related to the door." Turning the pen in his hand, Chen Ge thought back to the door at the Third Sick Hall. "Should I go ask Men Nan's main persona? That boy is a door-pusher, so he should know plenty of information."
Chen Ge was subconsciously averse to the world behind the door, but he had already lost that choice a long time ago. "The chairperson of the ghost stories society has at least two Red Specters, Xiong Qing and his wife, so I have to be prepared to face two Red Specters at once."
Chen Ge looked out the window at the darkening sky. "Since I have nothing to do tonight, I should pay the Third Sick Hall a visit."
After packing his backpack, Chen Ge glanced at the black phone before he left. When Lee Zheng mentioned the missing person's body had been found, the black phone vibrated, and Chen Ge had not read the new message. He clicked the message open.
"The Special Visitor's Mission, The Missing Wife, has been completed. Specter's Favored, congratulations for unlocking the scary scenario—Wife's Room!
"Wife's Room (One-star Scream Factor): I thought that he would marry me, but he shoved me inside the statue and placed me inside the morgue that could see no sun."
The hidden mission for the special visitor Liu Xianxian had been completed, but there were many unanswered questions. For example, why would Liu Xianxian force herself to come into contact with these scary things? And why would she force herself to smile when she was fearful?
Chen Ge knew that Liu Xianxian was hiding something from him. The girl's relationship with Liu Zhe was not simple, so he might be able to get some information on Liu Zhe from her. "Now that Liu Zhe is mentally unstable, I should focus my investigation on Liu Xianxian. The weird reactions that she has been showing should be related to Liu Zhe. This might be a useful opening."
Carrying his backpack, Chen Ge stopped at the entrance to the Haunted House. After some thought, he changed his mind and hopped into a taxi to head to Western Jiujiang Medical University. When he arrived, Chen Ge walked into the campus like he usually did.
"Hey, what are you doing‽" A tall and thin security guard stopped Chen Ge. The man looked like he was not in a good mood, and his expression was dark.
"Going to look for someone." Chen Ge's gaze scanned the tag that hung before the man's chest. The man was one of the suspects that Lee Zheng had told Chen Ge about, Zhang Li. Before Liu Zhe surrendered, Lee Zheng had also suspected Zhang Li. On the night that Ma Yin's sister disappeared, it was Zhang Li who had been on the night shift.
"The security at the campus is heavy lately, and outsiders are not allowed into the campus. You need to call that person out to meet you." Zhang Li was not going to give Chen Ge any leeway—that was probably one of the reasons he was not popular among the students.
Chen Ge did not waste time arguing with Zhang Li. He called Liu Xianxian and told her to meet him at the campus entrance.
"Boss Chen, you want to talk to me?" Liu Xianxian had a good impression of Chen Ge. He was a nice person, friendly and passionate, and most importantly, he had saved her life once.
Chen Ge nodded and led them to the teahouse that they had met up at the previous time. He asked for a private room. After the door was closed, the room became very quiet.
After a moment's silence, it was Chen Ge who spoke first. "How well do you know Liu Zhe?"
The mention of Liu Zhe's name made Liu Xianxian's face fall. The color seemed to seep from her eyes as she told Chen Ge of her story with Liu Zhe. Listening to Liu Xianxian's description, Liu Zhe was a perfect man. He had no weakness, but his overwhelming memory of his wife was the reason he was so hesitant to accept a new romantic relationship.
After hearing what she had to say, Chen Ge looked at Liu Xianxian and asked his second question. "That day, when we were inside the underground storeroom, Ma Yin risked her life to protect you, and when it was at the most dangerous, she did not give up on you. Now, I'm asking you a question. One day, if both Ma Yin and Liu Zhe fell into the water and you could only save one, who would you save?"
It was a very clichéd question, but Chen Ge sounded very serious.
"I don't know." Liu Xianxian picked up the tea cup from the table. She was feeling uncomfortable from Chen Ge's stare. It felt like Chen Ge's eyes were like knives, puncturing her heart.
"Liu Zhe has just handed himself in to the police." Chen Ge cut right into the main reason she was there. "The killer that murdered Ma Yin's sister several year ago was him."
The tea cup clattered to the ground, and the scalding tea splashed all over Liu Xianxian, but the girl seemed like she could not feel the pain. Her eyes widened as she stared blindly at Chen Ge. "This happened two hours ago, and Liu Zhe is in police custody."
"Impossible!" Liu Xianxian sprung up from her seat. The man that she loved was the killer of her best friend's sister—that was quite hard for her to accept. Seeing Liu Xianxian's reaction, Chen Ge sighed in relief. He was afraid that Liu Xianxian would choose to help the man cover up the truth even though she knew Liu Zhe was the killer.
"Things have not reached the worst situation yet." Chen Ge tried to make Liu Xianxian calm down and told her the whole process of how Liu Zhe committed the crime. Before the truth, all arguments and lies were powerless, and Liu Xianxian sat across from Chen Ge dumbly.
"Actually, I believe you should have noticed the various problems surrounding Liu Zhe, or else you would not have gone to search for that statue to ask whether the man still loved you or not." Chen Ge gave Liu Xianxian some time to process the truth before he continued with his questions. "When you entered my Haunted House for the first time, I noticed that when you were facing scary things, even if you were really terrified, you would not hide from them. In fact, you would try your best to smile at them. Ma Yin said that this change happened to you in the second year of university. Is this change related to Liu Zhe as well?"
After a long time, Liu Xianxian nodded, and she told Chen Ge everything. "Actually, when I saw Liu Zhe for the first time, I already had a crush on him. He is a caring man and knows how to take good care of others. When I was with him, I was very happy and very satisfied.
"Everything was going fine until the night of the second semester of the second year. We had just come back from a movie and parted at the campus entrance. I was halfway back to the dormitory when I realized he left his glove in my purse. I ran back to find him but found out he did not return to the place he was staying but sneaked into the western part of campus.
"The way he looked so nervous was different from how he was usually. I was worried that he was caught in something bad, so I followed him quietly. The night was exceptionally dark, and I saw him sneak into the lab building that was supposed to be sealed. When I got closer, I heard him in the middle of a conversation with someone with terms like dead bodies and blood vessels being thrown around.
"I climbed onto the window to sneak a look, and that was a scene that I would not forget for the rest of my life. Liu Zhe was standing in front of a specimen box, talking to a human head that was encased in it. I never thought that the man I love could be a madman, and I almost screamed.
"I bit on my fingers to stop the scream from escaping. The plan was to sneak away unnoticed. Liu Zhe was facing away from me, so he did not notice me, but the human head inside the box seemed to have stopped me!
"The heavy eyelids that were supposed to be close moved open an inch, and without any outside force, the human head bounced against the glass lightly. Then Liu Zhe seemed to have understood something, and he turned to run out of the room. I knew then that I had been discovered. I tried my best to run out of the building, but I was still caught up by Liu Zhe.
"I was so scared, afraid that he might do something crazy like those mad people in movies. However, to my surprise, Liu Zhe stopped when he was about three to four meters behind me. Using a painful and hopeless tone, he told me his story.
"Seven years ago, after his wife's car accident, he had become a different person. He swore he could sense the presence of those things, and he could even hear his wife calling his name every morning like she used to do." Liu Xianxian looked at her hands that were red from the scalding tea, and her voice was raw. "I was touched by his loyalty. This type of man should not be judged by the world, so I promised to help him keep this secret."
"He has taken advantage of your kindness. Based on my investigation, Liu Zhe has not been married, and what he told you was what happened to his brother-in-law." Chen Ge pressed the service bell and had the server come over to help Liu Xianxian with her burned hands.
"I know, I realized some things after a while." After the server left, Liu Xianxian continued her story. "After spending some more time with Liu Zhe, I started to notice some weird things about him, like he would enter the underground morgue every Wednesday."
"Enter the underground morgue every Wednesday?" Chen Ge took a sip of the tea. Wednesdays were the day of the week when the ghost stories society would meet up.
"Yes, but no one knew what he was doing there. I tried to question him about it, but he would explode and get angry at me, saying that he did not want to do it either. He was forced; he was also a victim." Liu Xianxian took out her phone and found a recording for Chen Ge to listen to. "I didn't understand why he needed to get so angry so during one of our arguments, so I silently recorded it."
Chen Ge put on the ear buds and listened to the recording for a while. Other than anger, there was also traces of nervousness and fear in Liu Zhe's voice. He sounded like he was afraid of something. "Was there anything else curious about the man in his everyday life?"
Liu Xianxian thought about it. "Liu Zhe's closet radiates this formalin smell, and whenever he cooks, the dishes have a similar smell. The stench seems to have seeped into his body, so he has made a habit of putting on heavy cologne before leaving the house."
Liu Xianxian hesitated before she exposed something even scarier. "Liu Zhe is not a medical student, but there was a lot of research on autopsies and death study on his computer. His interests and hobbies are rather unique, or some would call it scary. It seems he is an adrenaline seeker. The more dangerous something is, the more excited he becomes."
Her face forced a smile, and Liu Xianxian touched the corner of her upturned lips. "You are right in the sense that this is also because of him. He once told me that there are many scary presences in this world that are beyond human comprehension. However, if we turn to smile at them, they will not harm us."
"Is that why you have been trying so hard to train yourself?"
"Liu Zhe has been very nice to me; he bought me many things and took good care of me. I lost my father when I was very young, and the feeling he gave me is very unique. Perhaps I was possessed at the time, but for his sake, I was willing to do anything."
Chen Ge felt like he had found out everything he needed to on Liu Zhe, so he jumped over that topic. "How well do you know Liu Zhe's brother-in-law?"
"Honestly, not much." Liu Xianxian shook her head. "He would go far away from me whenever he answered his call. He seems to be afraid of his brother-in-law. Oh, right, there was one time when Liu Zhe had an argument with his brother-in-law. At the time, Liu Zhe practically begged the man with tears in his eyes, saying he did not want to go through those red corridors anymore."
"Then what did his brother-in-law say?" The underground morgue's corridors were separated into three types; Lee Zheng had told Chen Ge that before.
"His brother-in-law's voice was low, so I couldn't hear it clearly, but he seemed to be saying that everything would be fine if he did not make a sound after entering the red corridors."
"So, one needs to be quiet inside the red corridors. Okay, I understand it now." Chen Ge nodded. Liu Xianxian had inadvertently revealed some important information to him. He asked some more questions, and after making sure that he did not leave out any details, Chen Ge sent Liu Xianxian back to the university. Before they parted, he reminded her to stay in the dormitory if she had nothing else to do and to not go anywhere with few people.
Chen Ge called the taxi to drive him to the Third Sick Hall. Inside the taxi, Chen Ge keyed in all the information on his phone. He was preparing a guide to take down the underground morgue. Chen Ge arrived at the Third Sick Hall at around 11 pm. This time, he had the whole group of employees with him, so he was not afraid of a fight with Men Nan's main persona.
After paying the fare, Chen Ge hopped over the wall and ran to the third building. The last time he was there was several weeks ago, but the place had not changed. Pulling off the seal on the door, Chen Ge pushed open the steel door and stood before the door to Room 3.
Back then, Men Nan's main persona had said that whenever midnight struck, the blood door would open for a minute, and if Chen Ge wanted to find him, he could come at this time. Standing outside Room 3, as time ticked by, Chen Ge became increasingly nervous. This was the first time he would reach into the world behind the door actively.
His palms sweated, and his heart raced. Chen Ge stared at the door of Room 3. When the first blood vessel appeared, he pressed the play button on the recorder.

Blood leaked out from the edges, dying the whole door red. Chen Ge held the hammer in one hand and pushed the blood door open. The world before his eyes turned cloudy, and his body was enveloped by a red mist; it felt like he had walked into a viscous liquid. Waving the hammer, Chen Ge took a shallow breath, and the smell of blood sucked into his nostrils, making him slightly uncomfortable.
"Whenever I enter the world behind the door, I'm weirdly worried like something inside this world is calling me." Chen Ge called out Xu Yin to follow behind him before he felt better. "The world behind the door should influence Red Specters somewhat. This place is filled with various negative emotions, stacked with human despair. The longer one stays here, the greater the resentment will become, making it more difficult to seek salvation."
With Xu Yin's company, Chen Ge felt confident. He pushed the doors to each room open, but he could not find Men Nan.
"Where did he go?" Chen Ge walked to the end of the corridor and saw the door that led to the electrotherapy room. "Last time I was here, this is where I met Men Nan."
He pushed the door open. The cold bed was covered with various blood red equipment, and all the equipment's circuit was connected to an old man's head. Chen Ge glanced at it and realized that the man was familiar. The old man was the former director of the Third Sick Hall. He had escaped to the world behind the door with the patients to ambush Men Nan because he suffered from a terminal disease.
"How are you doing, old director?" Chen Ge walked over with a friendly smile like he had happened across an old friend. The old man looked much weaker and tired, but even in his condition, when he heard Chen Ge's voice, his eyes flew open.
"You…" He saw Chen Ge and remembered the incredibly violent female Red Specter, and the words that he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
"What's wrong? What do you want to tell me?" Chen Ge sat down next to the old man's skull, and his tone was light like he was visiting a neighbor. The old man glanced at Chen Ge, and his eyes turned like he was coming up with a plan. However, he soon saw Xu Yin, who walked out from behind Chen Ge.
"Another Red Specter?" The red eyes glared at the old man—the evil intention in Xu Yin's eyes was on full display. It felt as if with a command from Chen Ge, the old man's head would be torn into pieces.
Collecting his thoughts, the old man looked at the pair of bandits, and his voice sounded even weaker. "Why are you back here?"
"Where is Men Nan's main persona? I have something to ask him." Chen Ge was not worried about the old director's trick. He might have plenty of dirty tricks, but in terms of power, he was no match for a Red Specter.
"He should be on the fourth floor now. The windows there have been broken, so he's fixing them." The man spoke quickly like he was trying to make Xu Yin and Chen Ge leave as soon as possible.
"You should know the consequence of lying to me." Chen Ge believed that the chance of the old man lying was low, but he was a cautious man.
"Why would I lie to you?" The old man sighed. He had a feeling that Chen Ge was merely seeking a reason to annoy him.
"If you say so." Chen Ge led Xu Yin out of the room and walked past the patients that filled up the corridor to the fourth floor. Once he exited the stairwell, Chen Ge noticed that something was wrong. The mist on the fourth floor was much thicker, and the smell of blood in the air was pungent.
"Has there been an accident? Have the people from the society been here?" Chen Ge pushed open the doors on both sides carefully. When he almost reached the end of the corridor, he saw a small figure walk out from one of the sick bays. The shirt that was dripping with blood was a great contrast to his babyish face. He was surrounded by the blood mist like he was the one that caused it.
"Chen Ge?" The mist gently dispersed, and when Men Nan raised his head and saw Chen Ge, he frowned. Honestly, he did not know why he frowned, but he knew that whenever he saw this man, trouble would not be faraway.
"I heard from the director that you're here, so I came to see you." Chen Ge glanced inside the room that Men Nan had just walked out from and saw the window in the room seem like it could not be closed.
"Just say whatever you want to." Men Nan might have looked like a child, but his IQ was beyond normal. He was a genius, but he had grown up inside a mental hospital, so his worldview was different from others.
"You're being too aloof now." Chen Ge led Xu Yin to walk toward Men Nan. "You do not have much family in Jiujiang, and I can be considered your only friend, so isn't it normal for me to come visit you?"
Stopping beside the boy, Chen Ge squatted down to put himself at Men Nan's eye level.
"We're not friends. I have no friend and don't need one." Men Nan took steps back like he was cautious of Chen Ge. "You came to find me because of that Specter behind you, right? He's missing a heart before he can become a Red Specter. You don't know how to do that, so you came to ask me."
Before Chen Ge said anything, Men Nan had already guessed everything. Men Nan took another few more steps back to maintain a safe distance from Chen Ge. "There exists a small set of normal Specters that have the potential to become Red Specters. Such ghosts normally have a great resentment at time of death and are highly aggressive. They are very murderous or in other words, extremely dangerous, uncontrollable maniac."
"But aren't you a Red Specter, too? How come I feel like that description doesn't fit you?" Chen Ge looked at Men Nan, who had sidled away from him like he was afraid of him.
"I was talking about ghosts like him who have the potential to become Red Specters. People like myself who pushed open the 'door' will naturally turn into a Red Specter after death." Men Nan let slipped a great secret.
"I didn't know that. Then doesn't that mean each door represents a Red Specter?" Chen Ge stood up. He had a feeling that he would be able to get a lot of useful information from Men Nan that night.
"I don't know how doors are formed, but I can be sure every door has at least one Red Specter behind it." Men Nan glanced at Xu Yin. "For people like him who are about to become a Red Specter, there are only two methods. Make him become the owner of a door or feed him a fully-established Red Specter."
"Isn't that too difficult?" Chen Ge shook his head; both methods were too hard. He had a door at his Haunted House, but he did not know anything about the world behind it and did not dare explore it.
Eating a Red Specter was even harder. Other than the story, he only knew three Red Specters at Jiujiang—the female well inside the well at Coffin Village, the woman at the tunnel, and Men Nan.
Each Specter was more malicious than the one before it. Men Nan looked the weakest, but the boy was the cleverest. Even the reason he told Chen Ge this information now could be a test.

"Are there any other methods? The only spot that has not been dyed red for Xu Yin is his heart, so I'm sure this is a unique situation, right?"
When Chen Ge was speaking, Men Nan had been staring at him. After confirming Chen Ge did not have the intention to murder him, his expression softened a lot.
"There are indeed other methods, but compared to these two methods, it is more troublesome." Men Nan only reached the top of Chen Ge's knees, but he did not sound much different from an adult. "Normal Specters need to attach themselves to something to ensure that they will not dissipate as time goes by; however, Red Specters do not have this concern. The reason is because a Red Specter has a heart."
"Heart?"
"Or the ghost's equivalent of a heart." Men Nan sighed. "Or anger, or vengeance, or resentment, when a certain emotion reaches its maximum, it will become a Specter's heart. This heart will aid them in leaving the object of possession and enable them to exist in the physical world. The baleful Specter behind you has consumed enough ghosts, but he has not found his 'heart'. If he can find that 'heart', then he can easily become a Red Specter."
He glanced at Xu Yin, and the young face was filled with confusion. "The Specter you have is mixed with different kinds of emotions. There is despair, pain, regret, and a desire that I cannot understand. It is rare for a ghost to have so many intertwining emotions, and that should be the reason he is not yet a Red Specter."
Hearing Men Nan say that, Chen Ge realized that Xu Yin was indeed different from other Specters. He listened to his order fully and did not ask for anything in return. At Fang Hwa Apartments, Xu Yin almost sacrificed himself to stop the society's Red Specter. Chen Ge wondered, why would Xu Yin be so committed? Just because he had once saved him?
It appeared like Xu Yin was forcing himself to believe everything that Chen Ge said; he trusted Chen Ge unconditionally like he was trying to prove a point. Chen Ge could still remember the first time he saw Xu Yin. At the time, he had just been slightly stronger than a normal ghost, and he could not even defeat the thin monster from the society. However, even when he was at his weakest, as long as Chen Ge gave the order, he would follow it without considering the consequences like he was seeking death.
"The greater the pain, the stronger he becomes. Perhaps I've been underestimating Xu Yin." Chen Ge felt like he had a need to have a chat with Xu Yin, but not there. Men Nan's main persona was very clever. Before he joined the Haunted House, Chen Ge did not want to reveal too many trump cards to the boy.
"The simpler the emotions, the easier one can become a Red Specter. Similarly, when a negative emotion has reached its full potential, one can become a door-pusher." Men Nan felt like he has said a lot that night, so he waved at Chen Ge. "I still have something else to do, so I won't be walking you out. See you again."
"It's not often that I come to visit, why are you so insistent to chase me away? After all, I did save your life." Chen Ge walked closer to Men Nan with Xu Yin.
"What are you doing?" Men Nan became alert immediately.
"Don't worry, I just want to make a comparison." Chen Ge pointed at his shadow. "There is another Red Specter living in my shadow. Can you tell how she became a Red Specter?"
Chen Ge had always been curious about Zhang Ya. Because of her disappearance, the scream factor for Western Jiujiang's Private Academy instantly dropped by one-star. Therefore, before Zhang Ya swallowed the old director and the Red Specters from the society, she could already hold up the entire three-star scenario on her own.
Men Nan stared at Chen Ge's shadow for a long time, and his face suddenly turned very nervous. "I can sense something familiar from the Red Specter in your shadow. She should be similar to me. We both pushed open a door when we were alive."
"Zhang Ya is also a door-pusher?" Chen Ge thought back to Zhang Ya's history, and he shook his head. "The place that she haunted doesn't have a door though."
After Chen Ge said that, Men Nan's expression became even more nervous. He slowly retreated into the blood mist. "My feeling is never wrong. If she is not the door-pusher then she must have consumed a door-pusher!"
Men Nan's body slowly dissipated. He realized that he was afraid of Chen Ge. This man was like a walking monster den. "I'm warning you, don't have any silly ideas. The door-pusher can garner two hundred percent power in the world behind the door." Men Nan thought about it and probably realized that number was still not enough to fight Zhang Ya, so he changed his words. "The door at the Third Sick Hall has been broken by those few mental patients. If I'm not here to watch over the door, the consequence would be unimaginable."
Chen Ge had always been curious about the world behind the door, so he followed Men Nan's words and asked, "What kind of consequence? The monsters behind the door will escape into the real world?"
"You're underestimating the world behind the door. This blood red world is filled with various negative emotions and the memories abandoned by living humans. If the door is not closely watched over, these things will slowly seep into the real world. As the gap deepens, something very scary will appear." Men Nan led Chen Ge into the room where the window could not close. The window frame was intertwined with blood vessels that knitted into human faces. "I cannot mention their name in this world, but you only need to know they are different from normal Specters."
Men Nan pulled a vessel from the frame, and it made a human scream. He passed the vessel to Chen Ge as if he was trying to tell Chen Ge something. When he touched the blood vessel, a despairing and painful memory flooded his mind. The memory's owner had a face that was similar to the one formed by the vessels. He had been chased before being horribly murdered.
"Each blood vessel is a horrible memory." Men Nan leaned on the window and looked into the world. "This is a fully blood red world."
Men Nan tried to tell Chen Ge something, but he did not dare say it in detail. Chen Ge did not quite get it, so he could only commit what the boy had said to memory. Chen Ge still had many questions to ask Men Nan, but the boy did not have the patience and quickly sent Chen Ge out the door.
Whenever Men Nan opened the door, he would be vulnerable for a period of time. Chen Ge memorized that as well. That seemed to be the weakness for the door-pushers.
After leaving the Third Sick Hall, Chen Ge walked on the highway for a long time before he ran into a kind person. The man dropped him somewhere close to the city, and Chen Ge called for a taxi to drive him to Mu Yang High School.
