My House of Horrors

The child in the mirror saw that Chen Ge looked calm and asked curiously, "Aren't you mad to know that the rewards for spinning the wheel are a scam?"

"I was really angry at first, thinking that I was particularly unlucky, but then I realized that all the luck I had in my life had been spent on the moment I met her." Chen Ge moved a few steps towards Zhang Ya, "She's the most beautiful person I've ever seen and the greatest luck in my life, so I'll thank you no matter what."

Zhang Ya seemed to be dazed as she saw Chen Ge approaching her, she also gathered her black hair and took the initiative to lean towards Chen Ge's side.

They stood in front of the mirror together, but the mirror couldn't reflect the two of them.

"In that case, you should really thank me." The child in the mirror felt as if Chen Ge was deliberately showing off, "Before Zhang Ya became a red coat, she was chased by a red coat and mistakenly entered the depths of Blood City. I saw that her abilities were extremely rare, so I guided her in secret. At that time, I had to distract myself against the Dean's curse, and it was difficult to protect a fierce ghost who wasn't even a red coat in the chaotic Blood City, so I parted a sliver of Blood City's will and placed it on her, then let her hide among the Blood City's House of Horrors."

The child in the mirror looked at the now fierce god Zhang Ya and a helpless smile appeared on his face, "As a result, who knew that the trace of Blood City's will had merged with her, and even I couldn't pull it out, and Zhang Ya became the most special existence in Blood City. If one day I disappear due to some kind of accident, then she will take over as the new Blood City's will, which is one of my back-ups to deal with the dean."

"So you sent Zhang Ya to Blood City and made her hide out in reality to avoid being caught in a net?"

"Other than me, only a handful of people know that Zhang Ya has ever entered Blood City." The child in the mirror looked Zhang Ya up and down, he still had a feeling of unreality, "I know she's special, but it's still a bit unexpected for her to become a Fierce God so quickly."

"To say talent, Doctor Gao's speed in becoming a Fierce God isn't slower than Zhang Ya's." Chen Ge looked to the side, but Dr. Gao had never left and he followed Chen Ge into the House of Horrors.

Chen Ge was still very scrupulous about this former president of the Strange Talk Association.

It couldn't be helped, not only was Dr. Gao's strength horrifying and perverted, his intelligence was also enough to crush most people.

"Dr. Gao spent twenty years plotting to become a ferocious god, and from his life to his death, he paid a price that you cannot imagine." The child in the mirror looked at Dr. Gao.

Raising his head, Dr. Gao's lips moved, and for the first time since the dean's death, he spoke, "I have completed what you have told me, and we will not owe each other anything in the future."

"You have met before?" Chen Ge found out that Doctor Gao and the goodness in the mirror seemed to have had some sort of deal as well.

"Doctor Gao had entered here through the door of your haunted house, he was lost in the deepest part of Blood City, and it was me who saved him. It was because he knew the truth that he chose to commit suicide in the underground corpse vault scene, entrusting his daughter to your care." The child in the mirror pointed at the door panel of the toilet stall, "The nightmare pattern on that door panel is what he left behind."

"The nightmare pattern? This evil spirit with three heads is the nightmare?"

"Some call it a nightmare, others call it a heart demon, it's a monster that lives in the depths of the black mist, feeds on nightmares and negative emotions, can induce evil in people's hearts, can destroy the Blood Gate, and has the exact opposite power of the Blood City." When the child in the mirror said so, Chen Ge immediately understood.

Doctor Gao had entered the door of his own haunted house before he died, he had carved nightmare patterns on the door to leave a way out for himself, after all, at that time Doctor Gao also felt that the door could only be controlled by the person pushing the door, if he was trapped in the world behind the door and couldn't leave, then he would simply destroy the Blood Gate and escape.

When Chang Wenyu wanted to destroy the door of the Psychic Ghost School, she also carved nightmare patterns on the door for the same reason.

In reality, the Blood Gate represented the Blood City and the Nightmare represented the Black Mist Sea.

Many past doubts were answered, and after asking a few more questions, Chen Ge carried his parents in front of the mirror, "I found them in the Sea of Blood at the Cursed Hospital, and now the dean's soul is gone, but they still haven't woken up."

"Soul wounds are hard to repair, I'll try my best. You take them to the prop room, there's a pool of blood there, you put them in the pool and I'll do the rest." The child in the mirror turned around and left, Chen Ge also left the bathroom with a few of the fierce gods and entered the prop room.

Compared to the first time he came in, the place hadn't changed much.

But after only a few seconds, the corner of the prop room was ripped open by an external force.

That corner was also familiar to Chen Ge, every time he drew any items from the black phone, those items would always appear in the corner of the haunted house's prop room.

A black-red thread of blood gushed out, dragging Chen Ge's parents into the pool of blood in the corner of the room, which seemed to be connected to the Blood City underground.

Immersed in the black-red blood, all sorts of curses and black writing appeared beneath Chen Ge's parents' skin, then these residual curses were washed away by the blood, and Chen Ge's parents' faces gradually became red and looked a little more vibrant.

The entire process lasted for a full hour, and by the time Chen Ge's parents were sent to the pool of blood, they looked to be in much better shape.

"When they leave the world behind the door, they will awaken." The figure of a child appeared in the prop mirror placed between the props, and Zenith didn't seem to want her parents to see their current state, so she didn't let them wake up straight away.

"Thank you."

"The person to thank is me, originally I thought I would never see them again." The child in the mirror gazed at the sea of blood churning beneath the pool of blood and said, if there was any indication, "The power Blood City has accumulated over the years is almost still able to completely repair a broken soul and help her usher in a new life."

"What do you mean? If Zhang Ya enters the Blood Pool, she'll still have a chance to become a human?!" Chen Ge grabbed Zhang Ya's hand and instantly became excited, "The soul is repaired, plus my living doll talent ......"

"There is a chance of that, but for a ferocious god, the success rate is only one in ten thousand. Instead, the weaker the ordinary soul, the higher the success rate, are you sure you want to let Zhang Ya enter the blood pool?" The child in the mirror manipulates the black and red threads of blood, and the props are cut between them, revealing the raging sea of blood beneath.

By being reborn as a human, one would be able to make up for all the regrets of the past, and one would have the chance to embrace the beauty of the future, so even if the success rate was only one in ten thousand, this was still a very valuable opportunity.

Taking Zhang Ya's hand, Chen Ge asked Zhang Ya what he meant.

Zhang Ya, who was standing next to him, had a hint of longing as the blood in her eyes faded, but after a moment, she gently shook her head.

With a pale finger pulling a thread of blood from her heart, Zhang Ya took out her fierce heart and placed it back among Chen Ge's shadows.

She did not speak, but had made her choice.

"If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to become human again." Chen Ge grabbed Zhang Ya's hand and pulled her out into the corridor, constantly persuading her.

After about half an hour, Chen Ge and Zhang Ya returned to the prop room and they had made their decision.

"Are you sure you want to let Zhang Ya use this opportunity? Giving all of Blood City's strength might be able to raise the success rate a little more." The child in the mirror was ready to give it his all, which was his compensation to Chen Ge.

"No need, let's give this opportunity to Doctor Gao." As soon as Chen Ge's voice fell, the sound of chains dropping came from behind him, and Doctor Gao seemed to have not expected the ending to be like this.

"Chen Ge, it took countless years of accumulation in Blood City to contain such an opportunity, and you really want to let me have it?" Dr. Gao's heart was beating hard, he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"The success rate of Fierce God and Red Coat is too low, and your wife is just an ordinary person, such a precious opportunity cannot be wasted." Chen Ge wasn't joking, he had also asked Zhang Ya's wishes before deciding to do so, "You'll have to bear the sins you committed yourself, but your wife is innocent. By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, Gao Ruxue is safe now, and she also asked me to deliver a message for her, she said that she really wants to see you."

Back in the underground corpse vault, Dr. Gao had every chance to kill Chen Ge and Zhang Ya back then, but he didn't do that.

Whatever Dr. Gao's reasons were, it was an unavoidable fact.

"Thank you." For the first time, Dr. Gao showed such a look as he ripped the chain on his chest and used his fingers to cut open his heart, removing his wife's mutilated soul from the tip of his heart.

"Her body was destroyed by Blood City and the ghosts in the Black Mist, but my flesh remains intact, so you can use my flesh to make a living doll for her." Dr. Gao held the remains of his wife's soul, the curse of the Dean's death having dissipated from her soul.

"No problem."

After receiving Chen Ge's affirmative reply, Doctor Gao placed his wife's remaining soul into the pool of blood, the depths of which hid the purest energy stripped from the countless negative emotions and souls of the dead.

As the boundless blood continued to wash away, Doctor Gao's wife's remaining soul gradually became complete.

"My flesh and blood is hidden in a certain building in Blood City, you guys wait for a moment, I'll go and retrieve it." Doctor Gao preserved his own flesh and blood, perhaps he was waiting for this day as well.

It wasn't long before Dr. Gao returned to the House of Horrors with a special red coat.

When he saw that special red coat, Chen Ge was also a little surprised, as the other party was the female ghost of the Living Coffin Village's well thrower.

"She is the longest existing redcoat in the Contained River, and in order to find a way to resurrect my wife, I went to seek her help." Dr. Gao asked the casting ghost to put down her own flesh and blood: "It's difficult to maintain the flesh and blood alive behind the door, and I couldn't distract myself, so I had to entrust her to look after the flesh and blood for me."

Dr. Gao's words were very flat, and the well-throwing ghost girl didn't behave abnormally, so if Chen Ge hadn't gone to the Living Coffin Village and known that the village behind the door had been razed, he might have believed Dr. Gao's words.

With the help of several fierce gods, Chen Ge quickly created a living doll using Dr. Gao's flesh and blood.

Doctor Gao's wife's remaining soul was also repaired in the blood pool, and when that soul was placed into the living doll, the entire Blood City suddenly shook.

The boundary between life and death was broken, and Dr. Gao's wife's heart beat once again.

Looking at that familiar face, Dr. Gao's eyes became so gentle for the first time.

He gently tidied his wife's hair, and just when everyone thought that Doctor Gao was about to wake his wife up, he quietly said to Chen Ge, "I want to ask you to do me one last favor, as long as you finish this, I will help you guard Blood City forever and ever and atone for all the sins on your body."

"What favor?"

"After you take my wife away from the Blood Gate, help me modify the memories of Gao Ruxue, my wife and some of the people around her." With a million reluctance in his eyes, Dr. Gao gently stood up, "Just change it to, I'm the one who died in the car accident more than ten years ago."

Taking nearly twenty years to lay out, killing the Dean of Blood Vengeance and resurrecting his wife, Doctor Gao's last wish was just to have his wife and daughter forget about him.

Chen Ge didn't think that Doctor Gao's last wish would be this, he didn't directly agree, "I think it's better for you to meet them in person."

"I've killed countless people and eaten countless ghosts over the years, and the crimes I've committed can't even cleanse the sea of blood." Dr. Gao looked at his wife, his eyes not leaving for a moment, "I don't want them to see me like this."

Seeing his wife about to revive, Doctor Gao silently retreated towards the house: "I will help you guard the Blood City, perhaps when I have atoned for the sins I have committed, I will go to find them."

Dr. Gao left and he didn't look back.

"Cursing the hospital does more harm than good, if only everything could start all over again." Chen Ge looked at Dr. Gao's departing back and was very sad.

"It's hard to change things in the past, what we need to do is to prevent the same tragedy from happening again. The Black Mist constantly contains the cursed seeds, perhaps a new dean will appear in the future, I can't leave Blood City, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you then." The child in the mirror said to Chen Ge.

"The growth environment is different, even the cursed seeds will bloom differently." Chen Ge looked at the child in the mirror, "I know what to do."

"I've finished what I have to say, push open the door of the cubicle and you can return to reality." The child's figure in the mirror was slowly fading.

Pressing the door of the toilet cubicle of the haunted house, Chen Ge suddenly turned his head and asked the child, "If I push open this bloody door from the side of reality at some midnight zero, will I be able to know all the truth directly?"

"I was muddled most of the time until the dean's soul was gone, and he's been using my flesh and blood and my obsession with home to influence me. I happened to be awake when Dr. Gao entered the door."

"What would have happened if Dr. Gao had entered the Blood Gate while you were unconscious?" Chen Ge was curious to know the answer to this question.

The child in the mirror had a hint of guilt in his eyes, he didn't specify, but simply said, "Your shadow also snuck in the door, I was in an unconscious state at that time, the dean sensed it through the curse and lured it into a room where time flowed slowly, torturing it for a long, long time."
