Chapter 455: 455
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
Doctor Gao hugged his heavily-injured wife and leaned against the blood pool . He reached his hand into his white coat . He was barely standing, and Chen Ge knew that he had no energy left to pose a threat . Yet, in that condition, Doctor Gao still had a smile on his face, and that smile made Chen Ge uncomfortable . The blood world was collapsing, and the flesh that made up the walls and floor lost its color . Even the blood rain was drying up .
“I am familiar with every single Specter that you have, including Men Nan from the Third Sick Hall . I’ve predicted everything, and this scenario did cross my mind a few times . ” Doctor Gao took out a sticky notebook that was covered with blood from his pocket and tossed it at Chen Ge .
For the sake of safety, Chen Ge did not reach out to grab it and allowed the notebook to fall to the ground . The book fell open, and the draft flipped through the many pages . It was filled with the predictions of what might have happened . Looking at the date, they had been written a few days ago .
“Why are you showing me this? To prove that you did not lose in terms of intelligence?” Chen Ge also had a habit of recording important stuff, and in that regard, he was really similar to Doctor Gao .
“I just want to tell you that everything is part of my design . I want to force myself into a decision . Only when you have no other options and no hope will you make the most correct choice . ” Doctor Gao reached into his coat again to pull out a sharp scalpel from his pocket .
“In these five years, I’ve done multiple experiments, but I cannot find a way to awaken my wife . She has lost all of her memory, and I cannot find her soul . I can only order her to do something to lie to myself . I know that when she was pushed into the emergency room, I’d already lost her . ” Doctor Gao looked at the reflection on the scalpel . He hugged his wife, whose expression was rather dumb without an order from Doctor Gao . “Everything I did was to bring her back . Is that not a simple wish?”
When Doctor Gao spoke, black threads crawled out from the cadavers around him, and they drilled into his body . The black threads carried with them heavy negative emotions . They were formed from pure negative feelings .
“This day has finally arrived . It is sooner than I expected; I originally planned to make this decision after Xiao Xue’s wedding . ”
“What are you trying to say?” Doctor Gao’s emotions were very unstable, and Chen Ge silently called after Zhang Ya .
“Actually, in his blood world, there is another hidden Specter . ” Doctor Gao’s eyes were so emotionless that it was quite scary .
“Another Specter?”
The black threads kept crawling into Doctor Gao’s body . These were more than one hundred human lives that had been taken by the ghost stories society .
“Chen Ge, you’ve been to Coffin Village, so you should know, after death, the door-pusher will become the scariest Specter . ” Doctor Gao raised the scalpel, and the black threads danced in a maddened frequency in his eyes . The whiteness in his eyes was completely eclipsed, and his eyes turned as black as onyx . “Actually, I’m curious about what is above a Red Specter!”
As a doctor, Doctor Gao knew which part of his body to hit to deliver a fatal blow!
The silver blade plunged downward, and no one was close enough to stop him . This happened so suddenly . Chen Ge did not expect Doctor Gao’s last trump card to be himself . No wonder he was able to keep his cool . Like he said, he was already prepared for any eventuality .
“The last Specter in this world will be Doctor Gao, who pushed the door open . ” Chen Ge looked at the man from afar . When Zhang Ya’s hair curled around Doctor Gao’s arm, the blade had already punctured his skin . No one could stop him . Just as Chen Ge was about to give up, there was a scream of a girl coming from the door . “Dad!”
The familiar voice reminded Chen Ge of someone, but said person had not used such a tone in her words before . In his mind, the girl was calm in the face of everything . She used the hardest shell to protect her heart .
Turning back, a fair girl stood at the entrance . She looked at Doctor Gao with red-rimmed eyes, her fingers tightly intertwined . Behind the girl were two crematorium workers . They slowly walked out with shaking legs .
“Gao Ru Xue?” Chen Ge thought back to the fact that he had visited Gao Ru Xue before he came to the underground morgue . When he left, he had even covered her with a blanket .
Hearing his daughter’s voice, Doctor Gao’s hand paused, and the blade stopped moving . However, he did not stop completely . Two different types of emotions battled in his black eyes, and the blade inched down his skin little by little .
When Gao Ru Xue saw this, she screamed and cried as she ran toward Doctor Gao . The scalpel was still reaching toward the heart . When it was a third of the way through, five slender fingers reached out from Doctor Gao’s embrace to lightly curl around his hand that held the scalpel .
His body shook—there was a shock and clarity in Doctor Gao’s dark eyes . He turned to look at the woman in his embrace with disbelief . At that moment, he had not given the woman any orders . The man and the body seemed to have frozen in time . Gao Ru Xue finally caught up to them . Her warm hands gripped Doctor Gao’s hand tightly .
“Please follow me home . ” Feeling the warmth on the back of his hand, Doctor Gao looked at the wife in his embrace . That five slender fingers were between his hand and Gao Ru Xue’s like she wanted to grab hold of both of them at the same time .
The black threads in his eyes were temporarily suspended, and the pupils slowly returned to normal . Doctor Gao released his hands that held the scalpel . He held his wife’s hand and then turned to look at Gao Ru Xue .
“This is the first time you’ve called me…”
“I know what you’ve been doing, and I wanted to help you keep the secret, so I didn’t dare tell anyone anything . I couldn’t even sleep peacefully at night because I was afraid that I might say something wrong in my sleep!” Gao Ru Xue was detached and disliked human interaction . She finally revealed the reason why; she had been hiding this secret for so long .
“I know . ” Doctor Gao did not touch Gao Ru Xue, as if afraid that he might curse the girl with his touch .
Gao Ru Xue held Doctor Gao’s white coat, which was dyed with blood, and used a pleading tone to beg, “Dad, let’s go home . ”
Shaking his head, Doctor Gao tightened his embrace to pull his wife closer . “From the moment I pushed the door open five years ago, it has been destined that I cannot go back . ”
He moved his gaze to look at Chen Ge, and he grabbed the scalpel stuck in his chest again .
Blood flowed out from the wound, and the madness in the doctor’s slowly receded . The way he looked at Chen Ge reminded Chen Ge of the first time he met the good doctor at Fang Hwa Apartments . He was confident but mature, a man with a story . “I should be the only one who can understand you . All of your reactions, I’ve predicted them one week ago . I cannot lose unless I have no intention of winning from the very beginning . ”
His grip tightened and slowly pulled the scalpel out of his chest .
