My House of Horrors

Chapter 1198: Let Me Paint for You

Translator: Lonelytree

The arrival of the red city diffused the sea of fog. The indescribable pressure caused everyone present to have their nerves pull taut. The chains that were carved with despair bound tightly around Doctor Gao’s body, they were joined to this flesh and blood. No one knew what happened to him at the red city, the presence that he gave off now was even scarier than Zhang Ya. The crimson eyes slowly moved away from the blood vessels behind the white cat and fell on the monster that carried the cursed hospital on its back. The decision had been made in that moment. Only by heavily injuring this monster then the cursed hospital would stop moving through the sea of fog and that would provide the chance for the red city to consume the cursed hospital.

“I was the one who committed all the sin but you have cursed my wife to death. I have gone into hiding, hoping you will give me a chance but you people are relentless, following me from Xin Hai to Jiujiang, chasing me from inside the door to outside the door. Now I have nothing left, no family and no past.” The chains rattled noisily, black threads lined themselves around the chain. Doctor Gao knew he would not be a match for so many Demon Gods at the cursed hospital so from the very beginning, his intention was never to win. He put everything on the line and the safest solution was for both of them to die together. He did not need to win, he only needed to ensure that he did not lose.

Doctor Gao’s arrival was the first wrench in the cursed hospital’s plan. The endless red city was getting closer and closer to the cursed hospital. Back then the School of Afterlife was just adjacent to the red city and perhaps due to that proximity, it was eventually consumed by the red city.

The hospital director’s collected expression finally changed when he recognized Doctor Gao. His emotionless eyes wandered between Doctor Gao and Doctor Sun, the director’s face darkened. The two doctors that he had his best hope on in his life had now gone against him, becoming his nemesis. “The opposite of human is god. All I ever wanted to make all of you into a God with no weakness and this is how you repay me, by dragging me down into hell with you?”

“The thing that you wish to change us into are nothing but ghosts who have the capacity to suffer more pain and despair, how is the even close to being a god?” Doctor Gao’s arm waved heavily downwards, a chain lashed against the bottom floor of the hospital. The grotesque color of red started to spread. The red city was like an awakened beast, it opened its sharp maw at the cursed hospital. The whole hospital started to shake. When the blood vessels crawled its way to the door at the bottom floor of the hospital. The Demon God that shouldered the cursed hospital abandoned Chen Ge and moved its large body back to guard the door. He wanted to guard the door but Doctor Gao was no Chen Ge. Just as the Demon God pulled his body back, Doctor Gao also slammed one of its chains heavily on the door. “You are too slow.”

Blood cracks appeared on the black door. The door originally was red but the surface was covered in curses so from afar, one would think it was a pure black door. The former and current chairmen of the ghost stories society had a surprising similar solution to this battle. They both saw the door as the opening.

The monster that carried the hospital was incredibly scary but Doctor Gao was the real Demon God in every meaning of the word. He came here with the knowledge that he might not return. He did not care about wounds to his body, his only purpose was to destroy this place which had ruined his whole life. The chains pierced into the hospital’s lowest level. Doctor Gao did not go against the Demon Gods of the cursed hospital. Other than coming after the door, the other thing he had done was to use his chains to help join the cursed hospital and the red city together.

The monster’s size now worked against him. That combined with the disturbance from four 4 Top Red Spectres meant that he was not able to stop Doctor Gao on his own. The chains that connected the red city and the cursed hospital grew more numerous. Red energy used the chains as medium to rush into the cursed hospital. Spirits and spectres used this opportunity to escape from the red city. They could not stay for too long inside the black fog so the cursed hospital became their refuge.

Back when the 4 star scenario the School of Afterlife came into contact with the red city, even if it resisted with all its might, all it could do was to hold off the inevitability of being assimilated. The hospital director knew very well how scary the red city was. He immediately had Chi go and stop Doctor Gao while he stayed back to deal with Zhang Ya. Zhang Ya who was at the edge of her life had the pressure stared to fight back at her full force to prevent the director from completing the curse. Black hair covered the sky and blood waves rolled. The closer the red city was, the stronger Zhang Ya appeared to become, there seemed to be some kind of bond between her and the city.

Chi and the monster carrying the hospital attacked Doctor Gao at the same time but Doctor Gao and Chen Ge refused to change their focus away from the cursed door. During this massacre, more and more holes were punctured through at the bottom floor. Red waves slammed at the hospital and it forced the director to use his trump card. Under his control, the curse that had collected for decades at the cursed hospital slowly rose, wrapping the whole hospital in it!

The red blasted against the curse. The director knew the cage of the curse would not hold on for too long but he had confidence that he would be able to kill all the enemies inside the hospital before the cage was shattered. The blood coat turned deep black. The names of every curse victims appeared around him. And the black thread represented a human life each, Doctor Gao’s wife was among them.

“You are the most perfect doctor that I have met, I planned to have you succeed me as the next hospital director but you have made the wrong choice.” The hospital director grabbed at the patient Zhang Ya’s neck with his left hand. The blood words in Zhang Ya’s heart was torn apart by curse while his right hand searched for the name of Doctor Gao’s wife. “Everyone that has entered this hospital will be cursed, do you think you can fight that after you have become a Demon God?”

His fingers gouged heartlessly though the name of Doctor Gao’s wife. At the same time, Doctor Gao’s movement halted for a moment, it as if his heart had been stabbed. Blood slipped out from the corner of his mouth. The pain from his heart not only did not slow Doctor Gao but it caused him to laugh maddeningly. “I thought I have stopped loving her but seeing her name being stabbed can still bring me so much pain! It appears like no matter how unhuman-like, un-ghostlike I have become, I will always have a piece of her with me!”

The chains were held in page by the cage of curse. The ghost from the red city could not enter. Doctor Gao and Zhang Ya were cursed at the same time. Chen Ge’s group was in their most dangerous situation yet. The three Demon Gods at the cursed hospital had been there for a long time already, even though it could not be said that they trusted each other implicitly but to protect their own lives, they had unleashed their full power.

“Finally, the moment has arrived.” Looking at the chaos around him, Chen Ge held the child’s heart in his hands. During this crucial moment where he needed to change the heart, the moment where he needed absolute focus, he shouted out a name. “Yan Danian!”

A hand reached out from Chen Ge’s wounded back. Yan Danian peeled back the skin on Chen Ge’s spine to expose a painting that was hidden under his skin!

8 scary stingers crawled out from Chen Ge’s back. A Red Spectres that looked like a spider leaned on Chen Ge’s back. In terms of presence, this Red Specter was slightly weaker than a Top Red Spectre but the thing that surprised everyone was this Red Spectre had a blood door embedded inside his body!

To hide this trump card, Chen Ge had Zhang Yi eliminate all of the memory he and his employees had about the Tunnel Lady’s son before they entered the hospital. Chen Ge had been inside too many blood doors, he also knew the cursed hospital had the power to take away Zhang Yi’s power, therefore Chen Ge had Zhang Yi seal away his own memory before they arrived at the hospital!

With his mind a blank slate, they could not do anything to Zhang Yi, this was something only Zhang Yi could do. After all that preparation, lastly Chen Ge had Yan Danian use a permanent destruction of the manga as the price to paint a picture whose presence would never be discovered on his back. To activate this trump card, there was only one condition and that was to find Zhang Yi. He had forgotten about the existence of the Tunnel Lady’s son, and thus when the hospital looked through his memory, they would miss that as well. They would not expect Chen Ge would carry a mobile blood door with him!

Everything that happened was all within Chen Ge’s prediction. Now that the hospital was locked inside the cursed cage and completely isolated from the outside world, Chen Ge pushed open the door inside the giant spider. Blood waves rushed into the hospital and a figure flashed among the dancing blood vessels.

Bai Qiulin walked out from the door holding a broken oil painting. “Boss, I have found the person that you want!”

Endless red started to spread. The spider boy grimaced with extreme pain. More cracks appeared on the blood door as incredibly eerie presence leaked out from inside it. Moments later, a pale hand gripped the edge of the door frame. The painter who looked somewhat similar to Fan Yu walked out through the door. His fingers were dipped in blood red paint and he held a human skin canvas in the centre of his palm. His dark eyes that were like the stretch of the night sky glanced at the hospital director.

“This is this person that you wish for me to paint?”
