Chapter 848
"Are you sure you're fine?" Chen Ge hurried to support Yin Bai . The child took an involuntarily step back, but Chen Ge still managed to grab her arm . She did not struggle and stayed by Chen Ge's side like a quiet kitten .
"Before your grandfather arrives, I will take good care of you . " Chen Ge ruffled the girl's black hair . "I will show you the world outside . You were unable to experience bliss before death, but at least you'll need to experience the warmth of the world after death . "
The girl did not quite understand what Chen Ge meant . She merely nodded obediently and shyly asked, "What… is your name? Are you one of grandpa's children?"
"You can consider me a person whom your grandfather came to for help . I will protect you from further harm . " Chen Ge picked up his bags . As he prepared to leave, he turned to look at the furthest room . There were four rooms in total in the School of the Afterlife's nurse's office; Yin Bai and Yan Fei were in the third room . There was another room further inside .
"Yin Bai and Yan Fei should be considered serious cases, but they still do not have the qualification to use the innermost room?" Chen Ge was curious, so he squatted before Yin Bai . "Do you know what kind of students stay in the last sickroom?"
"Only students or staff with serious injuries or those who have gone mad will be sent in there . " Yin Bai's eyes were darting about when she said that, like she was afraid of the fourth room . When she spoke, her body naturally leaned away from the room . "Many people have entered that room before, but I rarely see people walk out of it . Perhaps there's another exit . "
"There's only one exit to this place . " Chen Ge guarded Yin Bai behind him . He activated the recorder and slunk over to the entrance of the fourth room . The member of staff responsible for the nurse's office was a Red Specter; Chen Ge had met him before . The white coat that he was wearing was just a disguise . He gripped the doorknob and turned it slowly . Chen Ge realized that the door was not locked, so he pushed it open slightly . Blood leaked out from the gap . When the door was fully open, Chen Ge narrowed his eyes and used his body to block the rest of the students . The fourth room was not for patients . There were no beds or medical equipment, only many cracked mirrors . Blood-drenched white coats hung on each of the mirrors . They were of different sizes, but they should belong to one person . Chen Ge covered his mouth and carefully entered the fourth room . A sticky warm feeling crawled on every inch of his skin . Walking into the room was like wading into an ocean of blood . The bloody stench overwhelmed and suffocated him .
"Why would there be a room like this in the nurse's office? I saw these mirrors in the school reconstructed by the painter . " Chen Ge stopped before the mirror closest to him . He pulled off the white coat . The surface of the mirror was blood red and filled the cracks . "This is similar to the mirror I saw in the eastern campus' staff dormitory's maintenance room . "
His finger caressed the surface, and it almost cut Chen Ge . "Even though I'm standing before the mirror, I can't see my reflection only a slate of redness…"
He was about to move to the next mirror when a voice suddenly echoed in his ears .
"Save me… Please don't go… Save me…" Stopping in his tracks, Chen Ge turned around and realized that the voice was coming from the mirror .
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ge looked at the cracked mirror . "Is someone trapped inside the mirror?"
"Save me… It's dark in here . I can't see anything . Don't close the window . Help me… please?" The voice became clear like there was someone standing on the other side of the mirror .
"How can I help you?" Chen Ge took one step back . He knew very well that feelings like pity and empathy were lacking in this world cultivated by despair . Being kind to others would often bring tragedy .
"There is a piece that's misplaced on the top left corner of the mirror . If you find it and replace it as I say, you'll be able to see me . "
"Is it that simple?" Chen Ge nudged forward . Just as he was about to reach the mirror, he suddenly stopped . "I can help you, but what will I get in return?"
"What do you want? As long as I have it, I will give it to you!"
"How about this? I'll ask you a few questions first . If your answers are satisfactory, I'll help you . " Chen Ge pointed at those white coats . "How much do you know about the doctor here? The man looks quite scary . "
