My House of Horrors

Chapter 1206: Special Number

Translator: Lonelytree

Everyone left their evil behind the door, only Chen Ge was an exception. Stepping on the ruin of the cursed city, Chen Ge turned to look deep into the red city, he was reminded of his promise to Kindness. “Until now I still don’t quite understand whether it was me who have saved him or it was him who has completed me.”

Many baleful spectres and Red Spectres guarded around Chen Ge. Zhang Ya’s black hair surged, they placed Chen Ge’s parents who were in coma in the middle of the crowd of ‘people’. After the hospital director was vanquished, the blood vessels on Chen Ge’s parents also disappeared but they had not awakened.

“Don’t worry, they are more tough than you think. Their souls are heavily injured but give them some time, they will slowly recover.” Chen Xiang did not even glance at Chen Xiao and his wife, his eyes stayed on Chen Ge.

“But their souls are heavily injured, how can I not worry?” Chen Ge who showed no fear of anything except perhaps Zhang Ya, did not dare to face Chen Xiang’s eyes. It was probably because he was not used to facing a ‘father’ in red clothes and radiating powerful oppressive energy.

“if you really want to, you can bring them deep inside the red city, there is a person there who has the power to cure soul.”

“Okay, but before I do that, I still need to search for some things.” Chen Ge had the red high heels remove the curse from his employees and try her best to save them. And then he ordered the employees who were the least injured to start canvassing the cursed hospital. The cursed hospital originally had 7 floors aboveground and 18 floors below ground, but now it was nothing more than a ruin. When the employees went off to search the cursed hospital for the last time, Chen Ge took out the black phone that he had kept close to him. The screen was shattered and it could not be switched on anymore. Chen Ge had no idea what the hospital director had done to the phone when he was unconscious. But from the state of the phone, he predicted that the hospital director had gleaned nothing useful from it. In other words, it appeared like the phone could only be used by Chen Ge and no one else.

“It still cannot be switched on.” Chen Ge frowned. Chen Xiang walked over. He glanced at the black phone in Chen Ge’s palm and said in surprise, “This should be Chen Xiao’s phone, you have been keeping it with you?”

“Yes, when he disappeared, he left this phone with me.”

“Well, that is so irresponsible and typical of him.” Chen Xiang stopped before Chen Ge. The red city Demon God had a gentle smile on his face and something akin to pride crossed his eyes.

“You know something related to this phone?” Chen Ge gave the phone a few swings. He tried it multiple times but it still would not switch on.

“The phone is just a normal phone but there is a very special number stored inside it.” Chen Xiang explained patiently. “When you were small, you could already see into the world of the black fog, see into the evil and desire deep inside people’s heart. You can even travel through dreams freely. Sometimes you would go to bed at night but wake up near a murder scene the next morning. After this has happened for a few times, Chen Xiao bought you an old-fashioned secondhand phone so that you could contact your family whenever you want. He stored your phone number inside his phone so whenever you disappeared, he would call the number madly until one day the number could never be connected anymore.”

“All that because of a phone number?”

“Instead of calling it a mere number, it is more like Kindness’ connection to home.” Chen Xiang sighed. “If you have anymore questions, perhaps that person in the red city might be able to answer you.” The man appeared to have not said so many words in a long time already. His eyes were slowly overtaken by redness. “Who would have thought the bumbling boy from back then will accomplish so much, you have really grown up, huh.”

His body slowly faded. Chen Xiang did not seem like he wanted to meet Chen Xiao. After telling Chen Ge the way to head into the red city, he disappeared around the corner.

“There is no separation between kindness and evil in this world. Kindness can be corrupted and evil can choose salvation and embrace hope, the choice is always there.” Chen Ge had no idea what transpired between the kindness and evil of his father’s consciousness. He had a feeling the key of the argument was him but as the hospital director passed away, Chen Ge felt like his father’s evil spirit had learnt to put down the past as well. Everything was over, and everything was welcoming a new beginning.

Half an hour later, a big white cat bounded around the ruin while dragging along a backpack. It seemed to be asking for praise. The result was the prop from inside the bag littered everywhere while several helpless employees trailed behind it.

“you have done a great job this time.” Chen Ge picked up the backpack and inspected the content inside it. After the white cat was praised by Chen Ge, it appeared to need more. It silently sidled up to Zhang Ya and tried to brush up against her. After the hospital director died, Zhang Ya found the bloody entries inside her diary. She did not lose her memory so she remembered clearly what happened after Chen Ge fainted. White Tiger had accomplished the impossible this time, Zhang Ya brushed its head gently with her black hair. It was just a simple action but it had given the white cat great confidence. It followed behind Zhang Ya, riding on her coattail. Before this, it would always scamper away when it ran into a Red Spectre but now it would actively taunt them. When it passed Men Nan, it purposely wagged its tail as if exemplifying his meteoric rise in standing.

“Qie, do you really think I will take offense from a cat?” Men Nan pouted. After a moment’s hesitation, he mimicked the white cat and ran to Zhang Ya’s side but before he could put on his act, he was flung away by the black hair. He climbed up rather awkwardly from the ground. Men Nan patted his shirt, he was about to say something to save his embarrassment when he suddenly saw the red high heels who stood before him. A rather unpleasant memory surfaced in his mind. Perhaps afraid that Men Nan would break into tears, Ol’ Zhou found an excuse and dragged the boy away.

“Boss, here is your wedding ring.” Xiao Sun in the white coat ran over to join Chen Ge. He stole a glance at Zhang Ya and silently slipped the ring back to Chen Ge.

“Xiao Sun, if not for you this time, I would not be able to escape form the hospital, you have personally changed the ending of the battle.” Chen Ge put the ring away. He looked at Xiao Sun silently. The scars on Xiao Sun’s face and neck were carved into his soul, they were impossible to remove. These were signs of the torment Xiao Sun had suffered at the curse hospital.

“I have not done anything really, mostly I was just following the guidance given to me by the kindness inside the glass jars.”

“Don’t be humble, you have done something many people could not.” Chen Ge looked at Xiao Sun who clearly had something on his mind. He patted the young man’s shoulder. “Come on, out with it.”

“Boss, actually I already found out the hospital director was a cursed seed not long after I joined the hospital.” Xiao Sun glanced at the broken bodies around them. “I am also a cursed seed. The hospital director was priming me to become his successor, I am really afraid that I will one day become someone like him.”

“The cursed seed will not predestine one’s path. Many people called me the extreme evil but in reality, I have helped endless people at Jiujiang and saved many lost souls and spectres.” Chen Ge took out the hammer from his backpack. He waved it around casually, the heft felt good in his grasp. “How a person turns out is related to his innate personality but also the environment that he is in.”

“But I am still a cursed seed, similar to the hospital director.”

“Perhaps others might see you as that but you have saved me and all the employees at the Haunted House so for us, you are a hero.” Chen Ge looked at Sun Xiaojun in the doctor’s coat. “In the future, I am sure you will continue to bring salvation to more people. Who knows perhaps you will really become a doctor who will bring light to the world.”
