My House of Horrors

The man in red walked over. All the black threads bound around the patients faded away. The talent of this Red Spectre was a secret. “I said I would protect you at all cost and that is a promise whether we are inside the door or outside the door.”

The bloody eyes blinked. The patients from the hospital had their legs amputated. No one within the man’s hundred radius was still standing. Blood turned into rivers. The man in red slowly moved forward as if no one was able to stop his march.

​ 

Compared to the man in red, Single Eye was another extreme. She had lost control until it felt like madness had consumed her. She won’t stop killing, all the patients that neared her were impaled by blood vessels. The despairing faces were sucked into her empty left eye. Single Eye fed on the patients’ soul and resentment. The presence around him became scarier. Her unsettling laugh chilled the few night doctors. Even those patients who were fed the black pills halted, as if the horror from Single Eye had suppressed the effect from the drug. Cruelty and savagery, her eyes were filled with bloodlust and desire to kill. Submerged in the joy of negative emotions, this was the real Red Spectre.

The front door of the hospital was levelled. The seven night doctors were boggled, how did Chen Ge who lost his memory manage to gather so many spectres who had lost their memory as well. Practically all the spectres in the city were moving this way. Why would these extremely evil monsters and ghost who loved to kill be willing to follow behind a living human?

They had already lost their memory, they could not even remember each other’s name, so why would these spectres still be so willing to abide by Chen Ge’s intention? Did they not understand that laying siege to the hospital was like jumping into a roaring fire?

The seven night doctors could not wrap their heads around it, neither could the patients who were nothing more than puppets. It eluded even the vice director who was kneeling outside the director’s office inside the hospital. Multiple spirits and spectres rushed at the hospital, while Chen Ge maintained his own pace, taking one step at a time. Blood dyed the street red, the white walls of the hospital were turned red. The seven night doctors were pushed away. They used their power and tried to send as many spectres as they could into the brain maze.

“These seven Red Spectres are not running away, it feels like they are trying to buy time. There is a bigger cluster of building under the hospital, I suspect they are trying to awaken something underground.” Men Nan stuck close to Chen Ge. As if trying to make up for his careless words before, he was being very supportive now. The curse spread inside Chen Ge’s body. The black blade over his heart almost plunged into his chest. The pain he was under intensified but he showed no sign of stopping at all. Blood poured out of his eyes. When the surrounding Red Spectres and baleful spectres saw Chen Ge in this state, they became even more spirited.

Scarlet, Single Eye, Man in red, the three of them tussled with the seven night doctors. No one held back. In just a few breaths, the fake Doctor Gao who was beheaded earlier was seriously injured again. The power balance was disrupted, endless spectres rushed into the hospital. The first sick hall was swamped by blood immediately. Chen Ge walked down the corridor. With the wall as support, he came to the director’s office at the first sick hall. He pushed open the door. Numerous black threads pierced towards his body but curiously enough all the curses stopped when they were one metre away from Chen Ge, like they were frozen.

“The glass jars placed here have already been moved?” The room was empty. Other than the most vicious curse, there was nothing. Chen Ge looked towards the window and focused on the building down the distance. Inside the third sick hall, the vice director was handing the glass jars in his hands to the two doctors before him. One of them was doctor Sun, the other doctor had a presence as strong as Single Eye. “you are both doctors most valued by the director, one of you is naturally gifted and the other is incredibly powerful. I need the two of you to bring these seven glass jars into the underground now! The treatment has completely failed. Tell the director to not delay it anymore, we have to kill the evil spirit of patient 1 as soon as possible!”

Then, another face grew out the vice director’s body and echo reverberated inside the room. After giving his order, the studious vice director morphed into a monster. His coat was covered with wailing faces.

During the period they exchanged words, when the vice president walked out from his room, Chen Ge’s crew had already taken over three sick halls. The cursed blade crawled into Chen Ge’s body morphing into tiny strands of blood vessels. With the recovery to each spectre’s memory, the curse on Chen Ge’s body would intensify further. The greater the pain he was under, the faster he moved. Carrying the hope inside him, Chen Ge rushed down the familiar corridor and pushed open the fated door. The window inside this room still looked towards the Haunted House inside the theme park but the woman who stood near the window had already disappeared.

“Where is she?” Outside the window, blood fell like rain. Before Chen Ge arrived, he already notified all the spectres that a few of the patients were their ally, they needed to be saved first. When Chen Ge got back down from the room, out of the 7 night doctors, 2 had been vanquished and the remainders were not in a good spot too. And on Chen Ge’s side, the only one injured was Single Eye but that had more to do with her killing style. In fact, she preferred to trade wounds for wounds.

In the blink of an eye, the three sick halls were taken over by specters. When the vice director arrived, the night was already fully red.

“Where is Zhang Ya?” Chen Ge asked in an even tone.

“When did you regain your memory?” The human mouths on the vice director’s body opened and closed.

“I asked you, where is Zhang Ya!” The roar came out of Chen Ge’s through. The man who was tittering on the line of life and death felt the urge to murder like never before.

“So you have not regained your memory after all? Looks like the problem is not on you but on her, then there is still a chance to turn this around.” Shrill laughter came out from the human faces. The mouth on the vice director’s face slowly opened and he used them to utter the first word after his reunion with Chen Ge. “She is being suppressed by the director and ‘Chi’ but she still dared to split out a lingering spirit to help you, perhaps she is no longer of this world by now.”

The moment the vice director said that, a pale pair of hands reached out behind Chen Ge. The black threads coursed through the vice director’s body. The Cursed Lady reached into the chest of the vice director’s puppet and gripped her hands around a heart that was constructed from curses.

“Cursed Words?! Planting curses through voice? How did you manage to have the ghost fetus’ talent?” The mouth screamed for mercy. The Cursed Lady did not give the vice director more chance. She used her full power. Everyone knew the Cursed Lady was scary but no one knew how scary she really was. The cursed threads covered the entire Xin Hai Central Hospital, she wanted to turn this place into a cursed hospital, she wanted to carve the despair and tragedy deep into the hospital. The vice director tried his best to resist. The faces on his body were corrupted by the curses, his beating heart was slowly dyed deep black.

Energy left his body. The vice director yelled despairingly at Chen Ge. “Evil Spirit! Evil Spirit! You will be consumed! There is nothing but the deepest despair for you!”

“Evil Spirit? Are you talking about me?” He was focusing on the vice director being tortured but then Chen Ge’s eyes slowly moved away. Because at that moment, Doctor Sun who was holding the glass jars was heading towards him.

“I am not an evil spirit. I have my own name, it is Chen Ge.”
