My House of Horrors

When the painter saw the hospital director, the bloodied fingers danced on the human skin, the presence that he gave off now was far more scarier than when Chen Ge met him at the School of Afterlife. Other than that, Chen Ge noticed something else. The painter once said that he could only paint human being but now he did not hesitate to paint hospital director. In just a few seconds, he already sketched out the man’s outline on the piece of human skin. Blood splattered. The painter appeared to have become a Demon God. The power to topple the battlefield had arrived!

The painter himself was not as powerful as Doctor Gao or Zhang Ya, but he had on his side an extremely formidable talent. Even though he had limited use of his talent and the condition for using them was extremely harsh, if he managed to spring it as a surprise on his enemy like how he was doing it now with the hospital director, then it could render his enemy totally helpless. When the hospital director sensed his control over the curse was dropping, the painting was already half done.

“Yet another Demon God!” The hospital director who was always so confident realized his own power was being drained. He hissed, “Close down that door! Destroy that painting!’

The Chi Demon God and the giant monster realized the severity of the situation. Both of them started attacking Chen Ge’s blood door. Chen Ge’s side was not going down without a fight, they all focused their aggression at the door at the bottom level of the hospital. It started with a ‘door’ and it shall end with a ‘door’. The battlefield was focused around these two blood doors. With the approach of the Demon Gods, the spider boy stood his ground as firm as he could. His eight legs steadied himself as more and more shadows walked out from inside his door. Many Red Spectres from the School of Afterlife showed up to aid. Other than them, the old headmaster from the school also released the misfortune from the red city into the place. With the support from the consciousness of the school of the afterlife, many Red Spectres from the school showed up to guard the painter.

With the last stroke, the painter’s power had another breakthrough, he had successfully taken away the hospital director’s power. For a Demon God, that was almost impossible. The hospital director’s hands that grabbed the patient Zhang Ya wizened instantly, many dead spots appeared on his skin. The names of the people who died from his skin started to consume his body like a rejected organ. Sensing the change in the battle, Zhang Ya who was cornered finally exploded. Black hair rushed out like waves and it spread madly down the horizon. Her eyes burning with fury, she stepped through the sea of blood and swore to tear the hospital director into pieces.

The counter attack had just begun and the hospital itself was almost crumbling. Doctor Gao who was left alone continued his crazed attack on the blood door inside the hospital. Gashes of red appeared on the door that was covered in endless curse. Doctor Gao seemed to sense something. His icy gaze appeared to pierce through that door. “I know what is hidden behind that door. Even after so many years, you people still have not given up.”

Hearing that, the giant monster that carried the cursed hospital had an ominous feeling run through him but it was too late for him to do anything to stop the inevitable now. Doctor Gao caught the opening in its defense and pulled out one after another chain that was covered in blood and flesh from inside his body. Every single chain was wreathed in sin and tragedy. As the chains pulled out of his body, the rationality in Doctor Gao’s eyes dissipated, he had torn off the last seal and attacked with all his might!

No one anticipated that Doctor Gao still had part of his power hidden. The blast of red slammed into the hospital’s door and the cracks deepened. The Chi Demon God and the giant monster wanted to stop him but the painter and the endless Red Spectres around Chen Ge moved to block their path. Therefore, there was nothing they could do but watch as Doctor Gao opened the door at the deepest part of the hospital!

Bang! A loud boom that shuddered the soul stunned everyone. The cracked door at the most bottom of the hospital was opened. An extremely gory presence drifted out from inside it. Doctor Gao stood alone at the threshold of the door. The rationality in his eyes was slowly returning. He stared deeply into the door and the murderous intent was clear on his face. “Director, I know you are hiding in here.”

“Director?” Doctor Gao’s words caused Chen Ge to go on alert. There appeared to be yet another hospital director residing inside that door.

“Gao Ming, you always manage to appear and disappear at the most importune moment.” An elderly voice came from the other side of the door. He gave a soft sigh. The door was slowly let open to reveal the hidden scenario behind the door.

Mountain of carcasses and sea of blood!

It was hell constructed from broken bodies!

The most disgusting thing was on the door that led to this hell had the word heaven written on it. One after another adults and children with smile plastered on their faces walked through the flesh and curse. They had that firm smile stuck on their faces, making the place that was constructed from dead bodies their home. Black blood dripped onto the ground, the dead bodies were sliding out from the walls. On top of the throne made up from human bone sat a man in a bloody coat. He looked about 90 percent similar to the hospital director outside the door but he appeared much younger. The man’s lower body was joined to the mountain of dead bodies. He was heavily injured, it felt like he was only hanging on by a thread through the energy provided to him by ‘heaven’.

After the door at the bottom of the hospital was shattered, Chen Ge’s eyes were pulled to a single director. He stood there numb as if his brain stopped working in that moment. He stood like that for a long time, staring at the fixed spot. In the centre of the bloody sea, Chen Ge’s parents were punctured through by endless blood vessels. They were lying peacefully among the sea of blood. Time had lost its meaning. Chen Ge studied those familiar faces, all the good memories flashed across his mind. His hand raised as if it was moving on its own, as if it was trying to make contact with them through the distance of literal hell.

“I have found you…” A few simple words but it represented endless dance at the edge of death. The hardship that he had been through only he could understand. This was supposed to be the most despairing route but he had forced the light of hope through at the end of the road. The hospital director inside the hell appeared to be the real director. The director who wore the doctor’s coat outside the door was merely a part of him.

“Just a little bit more and I can achieve full recover, if only I have more time.” The blood sea rolled and swallowed Chen Ge’s parents. The real director glanced at Chen Ge. “You live up to your name as Patient Number 1. I have cut up and sealed your physical body, tricked your consciousness to bind itself to the red city, took everything from you, left nothing for you to be living for but yet you still manage to grow to this stage.”

“Is that all of your dying words, you might not have the chance to speak ever again.” Chen Ge had never wished death on a person before. This urge was translated into an extreme chillness. His brain had never moved so fast. In that moment, several ideas popped out of his mind.

“Boss, he wants to consume your parents and then use your body and soul as medium to slowly take over the control of the red city.” Xiao Sun stood behind Chen Ge. “His real target is the red city inside the black fog. We need to deal with him as soon as possible or else when he realizes he has no chance of winning, he might bring everything he has down with him and that includes the possibility of him murdering your parents.”

Heeding the reminder from Xiao Sun, Chen Ge stopped his hesitation and poured all of his energy into taking down the real hospital director.
