Chapter 996: Door Beside the Bed
The third sick hall was a turning point for Chen Ge . Before this mission, he had been on the defensive . It was at this place that he started to resist and realized that the ‘bad guys’ could also feel afraid .

Returning to where it all began, Chen Ge jumped over the wall and found the door . Since it was already past midnight, Chen Ge could only try another method to open the door . Actually, he had been meaning to try this, but he had not had the chance .
There were still many puzzles around the ‘door’ . Many door-pushers knew so little about the doors that they pushed open, much less a normal person like Chen Ge . Summoning Xu Yin and the red high hells, Chen Ge used the blood vessels and curse, but it did not affect the door . He then summoned the stench and the headless woman . The number of Red Specters increased, and the hellish winds blew . Many blood vessels crawled on the wall as if they were trying to dye the whole corridor red .
Each Red Specter used their own power, but they could not make the door budge . Chen Ge held the comic and was about to summon the other Red Specters when the door suddenly shuddered . Fresh blood leaked from the gap, and footsteps echoed in the empty room .
“Finally, there’s a reaction . Could it be Men Nan?”
The footsteps approached . When the blood covered the door, the door was opened . A boy slightly taller than Chen Ge’s knees leaned against the door and peeked out .
“Men Nan, long time no…”
Slam!
The door was closed instantly; Chen Ge did not even have the chance to react . Several seconds later, the door opened again . Men Nan’s eyes scanned the lineup of Red Specters, and he raised his little hand to slap himself . The door opened, and more than a handful of Red Specters were eyeing him like he was some candy . There was no realer nightmares than this .

Slam!
The door was closed again, and the blood on the door quickly faded away .
“Men Nan, Brother Nan, I’m here on important business . The ghost fetus separated from the shadow is coming back . He is mad and extremely vengeful . ” Chen Ge knocked on the door . “It’s very dangerous now . I need you to open the door . ”
Several seconds later, the door creaked open a sliver . Men Nan leaned against the door and peeked out . “You’re not here to kill me?”
“Why would you think that? We’ve been through so much, and we’ve survived many dangerous incidents . I would never harm you . ” The door slowly opened, and Men Nan’s eyes wandered around the surrounding Red Specters . He was afraid . It felt like he was a primary school student being surrounded by a group of tattooed gangsters .
“I know about the ghost fetus . I’ve heard about him from the people of the Ghost Stories Society . The thing is very scary, and I’ll be vanquished with one glance . ” Men Nan raised his hand toward Chen Ge . “I really can’t help . See you around . I have to go fix the window . Who knows what happened in that red city? Recently, the amount of red fog has increased drastically, and I have to fix the window before tragedy strikes . ”
“Men Nan, there is no need to be so humble . Yes, you are not as powerful as other Red Specters, but perhaps because you are too weak, you have retained human rationality, and that is the most important thing . ” Chen Ge squatted before Men Nan . “You can communicate freely with me, and your intelligence is incredibly high . If something happens to me, you can come to your own decision with your own analysis . ”
Men Nan was the weakest among all the Red Specters, but he had something that the other Red Specters did not . He had retained his sanity and was not consumed by negative emotions .

“How come your praise doesn’t make me feel any happiness? If anything, I feel offended . ” Men Nan scratched his neck as his small brows creased together . “Let me think about it . ”
“No door pusher will be able to survive this . If we can’t stop the ghost fetus, he will eventually come to you . Have you forgotten the days when you were trapped by the Ghost Stories Society? The ghost fetus will be crueler than them . ”
After a few minutes of conflict, Men Nan promised, “Fine, I’ll help you one last time . ”
“After we deal with the ghost fetus, I’ll bring you back here immediately . ” Chen Ge flipped open the comic . He valued Men Nan so much because of a plan that he needed to complete . The plan would work without a hitch even if he had lost his consciousness and was dying .
“Okay, that’s a promise . If you dare lie to me, I will haunt you forever . ” Closing the door to Third Sick Hall, Men Nan was sucked into the comic .
“The child has a sharp tongue but a soft heart . ” Chen Ge summoned the Red Specters back one by one . Finally, only Xu Yin was left . The two stayed on the empty corridor . Chen Ge took out the recorder . “Xu Yin, one night, if you can’t find me anymore, do not do anything rash . You can come and consult Men Nan . He is a very clever ghost . He will help you make the correct choice . Do you understand me?”
With an unresolvable melancholy in his eyes, Xu Yin nodded lightly .
“Come, let’s head to the next location . ” Chen Ge left the third sick Hall . He did not go to rest but took a cab to the place where Jiang Ming lived . “After tonight, I will only have seven nights left . Time flies . ”

Jiang Ming lived in a high-end residential area at the center of Jiujiang . According to the employee from the futuristic theme park, this house belonged to Jiang Ming . Only Jiang Ming and the boy lived there . The cab stopped at the gate of the area . The gate was closed, and the guard was playing on his phone . Walking in from the front door was going to be difficult . After getting out of the car, Chen Ge carried the backpack and came to the other side of the gated residential area . He sat by the road and summoned Men Nan .
“The fourth floor of the third block in Area A, I need you to scout ahead for me . The target is a child about your size . He is deaf in both ears . His name is Jiang Ming . He should be one of the nine candidates chosen by the ghost fetus . ”
Men Nan was the only choice to do something with such a high difficulty . His intelligence was sharp, and he was a Red Specter . He could move freely at night, and he was powerful enough to deal with any normal threats .
“You want me to go alone? If the ghost fetus is really in him, wouldn’t I be dead?” Men Nan shook his head rapidly .
“The ghost fetus will only wake up in eight nights’ times . I just need you to confirm this for me and observe if there’s anything weird about this boy and his home . ” Chen Ge pointed at the surveillance camera . “There is a blind spot at the left side . If you make any discoveries, I will hurry over to join you . ”
“How come I feel like you’re trying to scam me?” Men Nan grumbled as he headed into the residential area . Chen Ge used his Yin Yang Vision to follow his movement . Ten minutes later, Men Nan suddenly reappeared in Chen Ge’s gaze . His hands were cold, and the blood vessels on his shirt were dancing .
“Have you fought with them? Are there other Specters in the room?”
“It’s not that . ” The shock in Men Nan’s eyes was still evident as he turned his head up to Chen Ge . “There is a semi-visible door in the room . It is right next to the child’s bed . ”
“There’s a door by the child’s bed?”
“Yes, and something was coming out from the door!” Men Nan was confused . “When I tried to get close, the door vibrated like crazy, and then something weirder happened . The boy who was sleeping opened his eyes! Didn’t you say that he was deaf?”
“Wait a minute . Even if he had normal hearing, do you think a living human could hear the door to the other world open?” Chen Ge was surprised, too .
