My House of Horrors

Chapter 1197: Doctor Gao! (2in1)

Translator: Lonelytree

The Demon God that shouldered the whole cursed hospital on his back was getting bigger and bigger. His lower body had completely dissolved into the black fog, turning him into more of a monster than before. He was like the ‘past’ that Chen Ge saw behind the ghost fetus’ door. Both of them had part of their bodies assimilated into the black fog because they were not cautious about the things that they consumed from inside the black fog.

But the difference about this Demon God was, the ghost fetus only used part of his consciousness to absorb the things inside the black fog, while this Demon God directly used his actual physical body to do so. This was where this Demon God was even crazier than the ghost fetus. Chen Ge did not know how the black fog was form and he had even less of a idea what was enveloped inside the black fog but he knew for a fact that if one absorbed too much energy from inside the black fog, they would be visited by misfortune and tragedy. The black sea swelled upwards. When the Demon God used the black fog to attack Chen Ge’s group, they only then realized the cursed hospital was not fixed in place but it had been moving amidst the black fog. The sudden attack taken by the Demon God that carried the cursed hospital caused the hospital to halt in the middle of the sea, like a floating isolated island.

“The hospital has been absorbing the black fog day in and day out, they have been inserting something inside the black fog into their patients’ bodies.” Chen Ge was analyzing the situation. His body and flesh were still meshing with the organs of the child inside the glass jars. His various talents had been given an extremely powerful upgrade. The most direct manifestation of that was now Chen Ge’s Yin Yang Vision could not only look through curses, it could pierce through the black fog as well.

Many patients were trapped on every single floor of the hospital. The black pills that they had been fed were created with an ingredient that was taken from inside the black fog. Chen Ge himself had taken the pills that came with the black lines before so he knew how strange and scary those things were. “The hospital is trying to make use of the black fog? All the patients are ‘test objects’ for them to experiment on?” All the information in his brain slowly lined up together, the big problem slowly came to Chen Ge. The hospital pushed normal people into the wraps of madness and they used different methods to cultivate their patients.

Different kinds of patients had different kinds of uses. The lowest grade of patients were merely vessels to cleanse the black fog. After ingesting a large amount of the black pills provided by the hospital, when these patients ‘exploded’, they would generate a large amount of resentment and curse. The negative emotions wrapped itself around the hospital, making the island more stable among the sea of black fog. At the same time, the curse and the resentment were the food source for the night doctors and the Demon Gods that resided at the hospital.

Patients who were slightly more special would be given special treatment. The hospital was like some sort of twisted farm, their ultimate goal appeared to be to cultivate an existence that was similar to Patient Number 1. After he regained his memory, Chen Ge became even calmer and more collected than before. His various close brushes with death allowed him to have a heart that was much stronger than that of a normal person.

“Do not touch anything that is inside the black fog. Everyone that is not a Red Spectre, I need you to gather behind me!” The cursed hospital was similar to the residential area that was behind the ghost fetus’ door. Perhaps the ghost fetus was inspired by the cursed hospital and he used the curse the open the door inside the black fog. With that previous experience, Chen Ge was familiar with the damage that the black fog could inflict on normal spectres and lingering spirits, so he quickly gave the orders for them to stay back.

This was the final battle of a 4 star scenario. Those under the ranks of a Red Spectre had no qualification to enter the fray anymore. The moment they came into contact with the black fog, they would be torn into piece. Hearing Chen Ge’s order, the many employees hurried to gather around him. Single Eye Chang Wenyu, Scarlet Xiao Bu, Zhang Wenyu and the red high heels volunteered to walk forward. The collective effort of four Top Red Spectres caused the large wave to surge out from the blood and curse, it formed a barrier to form Chen Ge and the rest of the employees inside it.

Normally speaking, even four Top Red Spectres would be no match for the Demon God inside the cursed hospital but Zhang Wenyu and red high heels had mastered part of the talent of a Demon God. Furthermore, the Demon God at the bottom of the cursed hospital’s main focus was to protect the door at the deepest part of the hospital and all these factors contributed to a surprising stalemate between both parties. Neither party was able to do anything to budge the other, but overall the whole situation was still quite unfavorable towards Chen Ge.

Zhang Ya’s talent was still a mystery. She kept using the talents of the many spectres she had absorbed and she was clever with her usage of them but even so she would soon be forced to the corner. The wounds on her body stopped recovering. And above her bloody dress, some of the black ghost faces had started to disappear and after their disappearance, they no longer returned. Even though Zhang Ya’s power was still growing, it appeared like she had almost reached her limit as well. Due to some reasons, the two Demon Gods that cornered her did not go for the kill from the very beginning. They thought that they could have easily capture Chen Ge and Zhang Ya alive without paying too much effort. But now be it Chen Ge or Zhang Ya, unanticipated accidents occurred at these two battlefields. Therefore, at this moment, they could not follow their original plan anymore. They stopped holding back. Even with the sacrifice of taking heavy damage, they would do everything within their power to vanquish Zhang Ya. This Demon God was too scary but she was at the end of her line, she could not spare a second to even help Chen Ge anymore.

The Demon God with the surname Chi’s ability was consumption. It would try every single method to consume the things on its enemy’s body. From obsession to memory, everything could be consumed by this Demon God. Therefore, during a battle, as long as it was still alive, it would only become stronger and stronger as the battle progressed. Initially the hospital planned for Chi to consume Zhang Ya but now that there were so many extenuating circumstances, they did not dare to take this risk anymore.

The Demon God with the surname Chi entangled itself in a deadly battle with Zhang Ya who had already lost herself in the fervor of battle. The hospital director though used this opening to retreat. He pulled out a woman in a patient’s garb among the heavy knot of curses. Zhang Ya from the Xin Hai city should have disappeared following the collapse of the false city but that was not the case apparently. Zhang Ya which was constructed from Chen Ge’s memory was asleep among the sea of curse. Her beating heart was imprinted with many bloody red characters. Most of them spoke of cruelty, massacre, despair, pain and destruction. But underneath all these ghastly words, at the deepest part of that heart, there were several statements that were faded.

“I have made a dream…’

“In that dream, I shared an umbrella with him while going back home together. I dreamt that we were waiting for a bus together at the bus stop…”

“I even dreamt that I have given him a hug…”

The words that were the least bloodied were hidden at the deepest part of the heart. It was due to these words that Zhang Ya in the patient’s garb in did not disappear alongside the fake Xin Hai. She was Zhang Ya’s consciousness and the most precious memory that she had. For her who died from tragedy, this piece of memory was like a lighthouse in the dark sea of endless despair. It was incongruous with the bloody world around her, giving off a weak and flickering light.

“A normal curse is no use on you but to make the curse using the blood of your heart, then the result might be completely different.” The hospital director in the doctor’s coat grabbed Zhang Ya by his neck. The hand that was covered in curses and human faces pressed on top of Zhang Ya’s head. He was trying to suck all the bloody words out from the patient, Zhang Ya’s heart. Zhang Ya who was unconscious was subjected to extreme pain. Even the Demon God Zhang Ya who was in battle with the Chi Demon God was affected by it.

“The hospital director’s curse is very scary. Using the blood from the Demon God’s heart might really have the chance to heavily injure Zhang Ya.” Doctor Sun had his attention fixed on the hospital director. He knew that the scariest presence at the whole hospital was the hospital director.

“There are 3 Demon Gods at the hospital. Zhang Ya is now holding two of them back and the Demon God at the bottom of the cursed hospital appears to be unable to leave that door. He can only control the black fog to attack us.” Chen Ge thought for a while and came to a decision swiftly. “Tell Zhang Wenyu and the rest to focus their aggression on that door. Do not care what is behind that door, we have to figure out a way to open it no matter what!”

The further down they went, the closer they got to that Demon God, the greater the resistance they faced but Chen Ge’s group had no other choice. Zhang Ya was in a very treacherous position but to save her from the Demon Gods even with the power of several Top Red Spectres was practically impossible. Even if they could somehow get close to the Demon Gods, they would not be able to match up with the Demon God’s speed. Now the only hope that they had was to break up this situation was the door at the most bottom of the cursed hospital. The door stood up and unable to move, the Demon God could only defend it passively. Any decision that Chen Ge made had been given a thorough contemplation. He needed to search for the ray of hope among the abyss of despair.

“Since the cursed hospital minds that door that much, then I have to do everything within my power to destroy that door.” Chen Ge was not consumed by his anger. His brain was thinking very clearly. To stabilize the situation, he knew had to know how to make use of the asset that he had at his disposal to their maximum potential. Turning from defense into offense, the Demon God at the bottom of the cursed hospital did not expect Chen Ge to make this crazy decision. The layers of the cursed hospital started to disintegrated. Chen Ge’s group got closer and closer to the battlefield of the Demon gods, but Chen Ge who was using the power of the Living Doll on himself did not choose to shy away from the heat of the battle but chose to actively go in search for it.

“Looks like you have deep confidence in this Demon God, you believe that she alone will be able to drag us down.” The curse in the palm of the hospital director crawled into Zhang Ya’s body. The black small threads sunk deeply into Zhang Ya’s heart like many fish hooks. The Zhang Ya in the patient’s garb was like sleeping beauty who was lost in a nightmare. The curse slashed her curse. Her brows slowly creased together. Her lips quivered slightly as if she was calling someone’s name. The bloody words in the patient Zhang Ya’s heart was drawn out. The curse lines that were covered in twisted human faces started to wind around her heart. The hospital director used the patient Zhang Ya as a medium to inflict a powerful curse on the Demon God Zhang Ya.

Chen Ge captured all of these with his own two eyes. The fire of madness was burning in his eyes. And his action picked up a quicker pace. This was the first time Chen Ge had actively used the talent Living Doll. A perfect living doll required the soul of a living person and flesh and blood. The birth of a living doll signified the death of a human life, it was an equal exchange, a life for a life. When he acquired this talent, Chen Ge did not expect that the first time he would actually put this talent into full use would be on himself. The internal organs that were corrupted by curse were swapped away. Chen Ge’s body and the child’s body were joined together in a very special way. Everything that was harmful towards Chen Ge was extradited out of his body and that including the wound on the back of his arm that could not heal no matter what. The curse that the red high heel made using the blood from Gao Ruxue’s heart was cut off by the blood vessel but during this process of severance, an accident that no one could have predicted happened.

The blood that had been held back by the curse all this time broke through the shackle. Someone appeared to have left their memory behind deep inside Gao Ruxue’s blood. When the wound was taken off Chen Ge’s body, a flash of blinding red pierced through the black fog!

The few seconds after the blood disappeared among the fog, everyone who was on the battlefield heard the despairing howl of a man. To be able to cause distraction to the Demon Gods in the middle of the battle, the owner of the voice had to be none other than a Demon God himself!

“This is such a familiar voice.” The hospital director halted in his movement. Chen Ge who was trying his best to cleanse his body of the curse also turned his head around to glance at the spot where the drop of blood had dispersed. The blood taken from Gao Ruxue’s heart had completely disappeared from the world of the black fog. The last trace that she had in this world was being wiped away. Ripple trickled down the world of the black fog due to this one drop of blood. The sea of fog not far away was surging.

As his organs were being swapped out, Chen Ge’s physical body turned for the better but the thing that caused him some slight twitch of anxiety was he realized that after he had used the child’s body, there appeared to be an invisible bond that appeared between him and this world behind the door, it was a kind of protection and it was also a kind of bondage. “These seven glass jars contain a power that is strong enough to control an entire city in mirage. It is incredibly powerful but it is also rife with the presence of the dead, it appears to be only usable by the dead.”

The process of making the Living Doll had reached its final step. Now he only needed to swap out the heart and Chen Ge would be given a new life!

The Demon God who carried the cursed hospital on its back had been watching all this, he appeared to be waiting for this moment in fact. Just as Chen Ge prepared to change his heart, a monster that was amalgamated from broken body parts and severed heads leaped out from the roiling sea!

It was like a centipede that was larger than even the size of the cursed hospital. Every single appendage of its body was carved with endless screaming and wailing dying spirits. The memory left behind by the living percolated in the world of the black fog before they morphed into decaying broken limbs. The Demon God consumed and digested these grotesque things, turning himself into a giant monster. The twisted and absurd body that wiggled like a centipede was the lower half of the Demon God’s body that was previously hidden in the black fog!

This monster was at least twice as large as the giant whale that was transformed into by the ghost fetus. And the scariest thing was part of its body was still hidden inside the black fog, it still had not shown off its full appearance. How did one win a war against such an opponent?

Compared to it, even a Top Red Spectre appeared as small as little ants. Chen Ge quickly swapped out his heart as soon as he could. The giant tail that was bound together by broken limps lashed out at Chen Ge’s head. At the same time, multiple red buildings appeared in the air. Li Wan City at midnight materialized among the black fog. Xiao Bu had tried her best but the gulf in their power was too big. The blood red Li Wan City was like a mirage, it only flickered for a few seconds before it was smashed through. But these few precious seconds had given all the Red Spectres the time to react.

All the lingering spirits that went by the name of Zhang Wenyu disappeared at the same time and the presence that radiated off the real Zhang Wenyu became scarier by the moments. He raised both of his arms, endless shadows following behind him did the same. They wanted to use their own bodies to stop the attack of the Demon God. Around Zhang Wenyu, endless threads of curse slithered out of nowhere and bound themselves around the centipede’s body. The speed of the giant tail gradually slowed. Just as it was about to swipe Chen Ge’s head right off, a screeching laugh echoed through the air.

Single Eye danced in the destruction. Chang Wenyu grew several times in size. The blood vessels in her body molded together to form the image of a 3-headed demon. Her scar-filled arm pierced right into the giant tail!

This Top Red Spectre did not know the meaning of fear. Even facing against a Demon God, she was not going to hold back. She was to face it head on. The giant tail was held back by brute force and it paused right above Chen Ge’s head. The face of the Demon God at the bottom of the cursed hospital darkened. “Let’s see how much longer you can keep this going.”

The two sides butted head with their lives on the line. Right at this precipitous moment, the black sea of fog down the distance started to boil!

Everyone’s attention was attracted by it, they all turned to look down the horizon. An indescribable feeling of oppression slowly appeared. The sea of darkness was parted away. A cat that was as white as snow burst through the dark fog and rushed as fast as it could towards Chen Ge!

Blood tears were leaking out of its dual-colored eyes. Blood vessels with a unique presence fluttered out from its back, they looked like a pair of bloody wings.

“A cat?” The three Demon Gods saw the white cat at the same time but half a second later, all the faces of the few Demon Gods changed.

The sound of chains clinging came from deep inside the black fog. A figure bound by endless chains and shackles slowly strode out from the black fog!

“Doctor Gao!” The presence of a Demon God pushed back against the black fog savagely but this was only just the beginning. The chains were being pulled taut one after another. As the black fog faded away, a red city that seemed to stretch endlessly into the horizon appeared behind Doctor Gao!

He knew that he was unable to take on the cursed hospital alone. But to save his only bloodkin in this world, this total madman had been dragging the red city on his back as he traversed through the sea of fog!
