My House of Horrors

Chapter 1196: Your Child is Here to Find You (2in1)

“Director!” Doctor Sun whose face was covered in scars hugged 3 glass jars in his arms. He did not listen to the vice director’s order and leave but instead was running back to this place. Despair and pain overwhelmed both of his eyes. He glanced at the dying vice director and blood tears were overflowing in his bloodshot eyes. Hearing the voice that came from behind him, the vice director slowly turned his head. When he saw Doctor Sun running towards him with no regards for the potential danger that he was putting himself in, the vice director’s cold and broken heart suddenly skipped a beat. But he soon recovered to normal. The decaying faces on his body all shouted in a shrill voice, “Do not come over here! Run and get away from here as fast as you can!”

The vice director screamed at the top of his lungs but it did not seem to reach Doctor Sun’s ears. The man appeared to have lost his sanity as he tried to put his life to fight against Chen Ge!

“Doctor Yue, bring him away with you!” The vice director ordered with his last breath. He knew that compared to his own life, the seven glass jars were far more important. The vice director was already injured and now the whole incident with Doctor Sun was keeping him distracted. The vice director was almost torn apart by the Cursed Lady, he was barely hanging on with the last shred of consciousness inside him. He still had something that he needed to be done. So when he saw that Doctor Yue pulled Doctor Sun back and was forcibly dragging the latter away, the vice director’s heart finally dropped back to its place.

A venomous light resurged in the vice director’s eyes. The man stared darkly at Chen Ge. “Evil spirit! I will use everything that I have to curse you! I will make you suffer 10 times, no, 100 times the pain that I am in! I will definitely make you pay for…”

“Vice director!” The familiar voice came again, interrupting the vice director in the middle of his words. The latter subconsciously turned back to look. Doctor Yue was holding the seven glass jars on his own. The organs inside the glass jars were banging on the walls of the jars madly. Numerous blood vessels rushed out from inside them, they bit towards Doctor Yue like a giant maw.

“Do not place the seven glass jars together! Separate them from each other!” The vice director was so worried that his heart could barely handle it anymore, but then he was greeted with a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Doctor Sun’s hand was placed on Doctor Yue’s back. Doctor Yue who was trapped by the blood vessels that came out from the seven glass jars could do nothing about what would happen next. Doctor Sun whose blood tears still ran on his face slowly applied force on his arms as he pushed a very sharp shard of a broken mirror right into Doctor Yue’s body from the back of his heart. The normal piece of glass shard was reflecting the face of a child, the child looked just like Chen Ge from when he was young. The blood vessels rushed into Doctor Yue’s body. They were like monsters who were out for blood. They started a feast on Doctor Yue, consuming everything that he was. The glass jars were slowly dyed red by blood. The sealed glass jars started to have spidery cracks on them. Witnessing all these with his own eyes, the vice director had already lost his ability of speech. That Doctor Yue died without even knowing why.

“Doctor Sun, you…” His head was snatched away. The world in the vice director’s eyes turned upside down, his last gaze was fixated on Doctor Sun’s body. That evil, mad, and destructive Doctor Sun, the man who was a walking symbol of tragedy and despair was now standing obediently next to Chen Ge like a child.

“Boss, I have found your former body and gleaned some information about the child of the red raincoat. I have already ushered the living people that came from outside the door to a safe place. I tried my best to protect them.” But then Doctor Sun added with some regret. “But unfortunately I cannot stop the hospital director from taking Zhang Ya away with him. I was too powerless to do anything about that.”

“You have already done more than you could.” When Chen Ge saw the seven glass jars, there was a strange resonance that came from his mind. It was as if the organs that were stored inside the seven glass jars spoke to him somehow. Holding the knife that was formed from curses at his heart, Chen Ge shouldered the past of all the ghosts. Taking on the sacrifice for them to regain their memory and power, Chen Ge silently walked to stand before the seven glass jars. Doctor Yue who was as powerful as Single Eye had been sucked dry, the seven glass jars had been turned completely red.

“The power needed to keep this city operating comes from these seven jars. Endless curses keep drawing energy from the organs kept inside the glass jars. Even after so many years, the organs inside the jars are still perfect and well, this is practically a miracle already.” Doctor Sun’s attitude had a 180 change compared to how he was acting before. When he was undercover at the hospital, he found out many things and the more things he knew, the greater the respect he had for Chen Ge.

“How can I get to Zhang Ya? How can I destroy this city?” Chen Ge repeated these two questions. The memory of the third person in his mind had already been triggered. The cruel images reminded him again and again that the organs inside the glass jars belonged to a third person and that person had a completely different memory growing up than him.

“Zhang Ya was taken away by the hospital director, it is very easy to destroy this city and that is to destroy these seven glass jars.” Doctor Sun did not try to treat Chen Ge any differently simply because the latter had not fully regained his memory.

His body slowly crumpled down. Actually Chen Ge had already reached his limits already. Every blood capillaries in his body were running with curse. With each beating of his heart, the number of curse in his body would increase at a tremendous rate.

“The vice director just called me an evil spirit but I am just me. The thing that I have experienced was not something that I have imagined. Every single person and every single ghost that follow behind me can prove that I exist.” Chen Ge’s hands slowly reached towards the blood red jars. The memory that was sucked away from the glass jars washed back into his body like a surging tide. The locks on all those memories were unlocked. At the last moment of his life, Chen Ge had found the memory that belonged to him!

He finally recognized every single person that was around him. He remembered every single experience that they had gone through together. The bouts between life and death, the dances on the tip of the knife and every single night that they had travelled into the dark together. Of course, he too was reminded of the first birthday that he had spent inside the Haunted House. He was reminded of the birthday present that the spectres had prepared for him. He remembered how he thought the newcomers how to scare the visitors. He thought back of the movie that they had made together and the fun that they had had when they went to visit another theme park’s Haunted House. “I never thought I was an unlucky person, to have run into these people is the luckiest thing that have ever happened to me.”

Chen Ge was the last person to have his memory recovered. He had taken on the price for all of his employees to find back their memory. This time he stood at the front of all of his employees, just like how his employees had always had his back without any hesitation. The memory of the third person in his mind did not disappear. The child who had taken away Xu Yin’s heart had appeared again. He started to weave the two person’s past memory together. Chen Ge did not do anything to stop him, then again, he was not capable of doing anything that might stop the child.

When the memories started to overlap, the blood vessels that punctured into Doctor Yue’s body also crawled into Chen Ge instead. When the blood of both parties started to mix, the cracks on the glass jars started to widen!

With each new crack on the glass jars, there would be a new crack on the starry sky that was dyed red above their heads. Chen Ge and his employees stared closely at the glass jars but Doctor Sun appeared to have known this would happen already. It was as if the ‘person’ that once helped him inside the hospital was the ghost stored inside the glass jars.

The dark and oppressive city had already been dyed red by Chen Ge’s crew. The glass jars that were filled with black curses were now turning blood red. The small glass jars appeared to be this city of despair. With each passing moment, the edge of the city started to collapse. Black fog that carried with it the horrible stench of dread and despair started to roll out from god knows where. Xin Hai behind the door had started its collapse. Chen Ge had stayed true to his promise. If he failed to find Zhang Ya, he could bury this whole city alive. The curse coursed through his body, the blood vessels from inside the glass jars also flooded into Chen Ge’s body like crazy. The child that was hidden in his mind was directing these two forces and tried his best to help keep Chen Ge alive. As the cracks on the glass jars became more numerous, the more powerful that child became but this was still not enough to help sustain Chen Ge’s life. The curse had already seeped into his heart, liver, spleen and bone marrow, Chen Ge’s consciousness was slowly turning blurry. With a human body, to have taken it so far with the weight of so many spectres on him, the fact that he could hold on until now was already in itself a miracle.

“I still have not found Zhang Ya…” One after another spectres stood beside Chen Ge. At the centre of the broken city, everyone from the Haunted House had gathered around its owner. The Cursed Lady was the first to place her hands on Chen Ge’s body. She actively started to direct the curse from Chen Ge’s body into her own. And then Ol’ Zhou, Duan Yue and the other employees also placed their hands on Chen Ge’s body. The color of blood had taken over the whole city. The night sky and the glass jars around Chen Ge shattered at the same time. Endless black fog poured down from above them like a black sea. The false city that was constructed by the cursed hospital behind the door had finally collapsed!

The twisted monsters inside the black fog went after the lingering spirits that were unlucky enough to be in their path. The lives inside the false city reverted back to their original form, stranded lost souls that had nowhere else to go. The building under their feet disintegrated layer by layer. Apocalypse was coming and the black fog was its harbinger. Finally the people had a good glimpse of the true world behind the door. This was a hospital that was constructed in the middle of a black sea!

It was like an iceberg floating on the sea. The part that was showing through the black fog was just one-tenth of its total size and Chen Ge’s group had only been on the most surface layer. Feeling a pull in his heart, Chen Ge glanced downwards. His sharp gaze pierced through the layers that were composed of curses. The woman that had a dress dripping like blood and long flowy black hair was at the deepest part of the cursed hospital!

“Zhang Ya!” Other than Zhang Ya, Chen Ge also saw three different ‘Gods’ inside the hospital. A doctor in a white doctor’s coat and a monster that only had a mouth over his head had forced Zhang Ya into the corner. And at the most bottom layer of the hospital, there was a monster whose lower body was connected to the black fog and the upper body was carrying the whole hospital upon its back. It was guarding the door that was situated at the deepest corner of the hospital. It was clear that if it deigned to join the battle, Zhang Ya would be vanquished in a second but it appeared like it did not dare to budge away from the door for even a second.

“Bring me all of those night doctors!” Seeing Zhang Ya deep inside the hospital, seeing the woman who was still fighting even though she was already covered in wounds, Chen Ge’s heart that was punctured by curses started to pound again. He knew that he could not die here, at least he still needed to see her one last time. Fighting to keep himself awake, the determination and grit showcased by Chen Ge was something that impressed even his ghost employees. They did not believe they would have been able to survive this long should they are place in Chen Ge’s shoes.

One after another night doctor was placed in the middle of the seven glass jars. The blood vessels emptied them of their negative emotions and power. The organs inside the glass jars appeared to come alive. The resonance that they had with Chen Ge grew stronger and stronger.

“The body that was split up has no memory that is mine but it come from the same source as I do.” The memory that belonged to another person now overlapped perfectly with the aid of the child. These two memories appeared to represent one single person who was living through two different kind of lifestyles abiding by the law of pure evil and goodness. One of them had firm belief in kindness, he was open and good, he was always ready to save all the misfortune and he was the first to shoulder all the pain and despair. The other had more sharp edge and angles. He always saw the world and the others from the worst possible angle. The person himself was not innately an evil person, but he merely followed the absolute fairness of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

“Spirit Sniff, Ying Yang Vision, Ghost Ear, Mortician Make Up, Living Doll, Lips of Tragedy… You have given me all these talents just for this day?” Chen Ge’s hands gently parted away the curtain of blood vessels. He looked at the body that was amputated. “The combination of the memories is to ease the amalgamation of the physical bodies?”

Chen Ge had no other choice. The curse had ruined his heart. If he wanted to live, he at least would need a brand new heart!

“My heart contains all the memory and past of all my employees. To complete the curse, I have offered up my own heart as a sacrifice to help them regain themselves and now my own cursed heart has been hollowed out.” Chen Ge who had regained his memory could directly guess the answer without giving it much thought. It was as if the fog that had bogged up his mind earlier had cleared.

The man appeared to be talking to himself or at least someone that only existed in his own mind. “Have you already predicted this a long time ago? You were afraid that I was unwilling to part with the memory in my heart so you resorted to this kind of method?” The child in his mind appeared surprised by this accusation. The boy who was knitting the memory shook his head but he soon realized Chen Ge would not be able to see him no matter how hard he shook his head.

Chen Ge reached out to hold the beating heart. After absorbing the bodies of the several night doctors and the vice director, this heart had found a new source of life. “I do not have any other choice, I have to stay alive!”

His fiery eyes stared deep into the hospital. Yin Yang Vision saw through the endless curse. In the despair of almost death, Chen Ge had an arresting smile on his face. “I have given you my promise. In life or in death, we will be together like each other’s shadows.”

The seven glass jars exploded at the same time. The seal that was applied of them lost their power. Chen Ge used the power of Living Doll on his own body. With the cooperation and help from so many spectres, he controlled the blood vessels and used his own flesh and blood as raw materials to swap out the cursed organs. The seven glass jars were the foundation that was used to maintain the basis of the hospital. Now the glass jars had not only been shattered, the organs that were originally trapped inside them were slowly combining with Chen Ge!

When all the rules had been broken, the whole hospital started to shudder. The layers crumbled one after another. Chen Ge’s group was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the hospital. At the underground of the hospital, the hospital director and “Chi” still had problem completely killing Zhang Ya. They had tried so many different methods but Zhang Ya almost managed to find a way to stay alive at the edge of having her soul smashed into smithereens. She had too many talents and power at her disposal and the more painful they inflicted on her, the more powerful she became. And to make things worse, there appeared to be no limit by which her power could soar. This was hard to deal with even for multiple Demon Gods.

The hospital was at the edge of its total decay. The monster who had been carrying the hospital on its back and guarding the door at the deepest level slowly opened its eyes. He looked at the door that he had been made the permanent guardian and he said with complicated emotion. “Your child is coming to find you. I will trap him and the rest of you behind this door.”

As he made his proclamation, the black sea of fog around him started to boil instantly. The monster appeared to have gained the power to control the black fog after paying his own body as sacrifice and after consuming too many substance that called the black fog its home.
