My House of Horrors

Chapter 1194: March of the Dead!

Translator: Lonelytree

The cursed morphed into a black knife and the Cursed Lady personally handed the knife over to Chen Ge.

“The most difficult lie to detect are those made up from 90 percent truth and 10 percent lie, the hardest mirage to escape are those made up from 90 percent reality and 10 percent nightmare. After I have gained your heart, I can use the curse to maintain your life and memory, but if you have given up everything but your shadow, I am afraid I am too powerless to do anything anymore. Losing everything that you are, are you willing to use that as a sacrifice to become a shadow behind her that will never be able to speak and never be able to interact with?” The characters imprinted themselves on Chen Ge’s wound. He accepted the knife from Cursed Lady. Without any hesitation, he plunged the sharp knife covered in curses into his chest.

The blade entered his body, every life that was lost was replaced by curse and despair. Using flesh and blood as sacrifice, through the medium of curse, he helped Cursed Lady found everything that this body and Cursed Lady had experienced. The memory bloomed deep inside the curse. The knife was only halfway into his body when it was held back by multiple black threads. The Cursed Lady in the red dress had pain and complicated emotions in her eyes, she had been reminded of her past. Mysterious patterns weaved out from black threads on her clothes. The presence of the Cursed Lady became more terrifying until it enveloped the entire western Xin Hai countryside. The howling human names were being torn apart one by one. All the curse that the Cursed Lady had once consumed melted together to form a new name.

To put a curse on someone, you would have to know their name. The Cursed Lady’s own name was her only weakness and biggest secret. At that moment, the name appeared before Chen Ge’s eyes and then it slowly faded, hidden deep inside the black and red dress. The pale hands grabbed at the knife inside Chen Ge’s chest but the curse already coursed all through Chen Ge’s body, the Cursed Lady could not pull the knife out even if she wanted to.

“Looks like you have already found your memory. Can you tell me what kind of person I was in the past?” The Cursed Lady did not answer. She controlled the curse thread to seep in Chen Ge’s wound, she wanted to stop the wound from spreading but no matter how hard she tried, the wound kept getting bigger. The curse had already worked its magic and the effect was irreversible. Cursed Lady placed her hands on Chen Ge’s chest. The black threads curled into four words before Chen Ge’s eyes. “is it worth it?”

“Of course it is. Even though I have lost most of my memory, I still have some residual fragments left. You have once saved my life. One life for another, this is a fair trade.” The pale hands gripped the cursed knife, no one had said such things to a spectre before. “There are many specters in this city who have helped me, they stood by my side knowing the risk that it would bring them. How could I keep on hiding behind their back simply because of my fear of death?” Chen Ge held the cursed knife stuck in his chest. “This time, it is for me to take a stand for them.”

The presence that enveloped the western Xin Hai chilled. The Cursed Lady followed behind Chen Ge. “I will go with you...”

Inside the dance studio at Xin Hai Private Academy, the mirror that was several metres long was shattered instantly. The sharp shards cut Chen Ge’s face and blood spurted. He stood face to face with a young lady in a school uniform that only had one eye. “Do you only wish for my left eye?” An unbridled laughter echoed through the night, an air of savagery lashed through the entire private academy!

The sound of footsteps echoed down the abandoned Li Wan Street. Chen Ge looked at the little girl in red standing at the corner of the street, waiting for him to arrive. The bloodied hand reached out towards Scarlet. There was an eternal softness in Chen Ge’s voice, “There is no need for you to become anyone’s shadow, you exist for your own reason.”

The blood in his palm seeped into Scarlet’s heart. The originally dark street was blanketed over by endless redness. Blocks after blocks of shadowy red buildings appeared behind Scarlet.

Ping An Apartment, underground morgue, abandoned village in the mountain, old dam, one after another scary presence rose to the surface, shattering the heavy serenity of the night. Redness swallowed the twinkling stars in the sky!

Innumerable blood vessels spread through the city, all the despair and tragedy was trampled under one’s feet. On the empty street, the lights flickered on and off. An extremely oppressive presence materialized out of nowhere, the city in the night appeared to be frozen. Every citizen that was awaken looked towards the end of the street. A young man carrying a backpack walked alone in the night. He looked incongruous with the rest of the city. His every step left behind a bloody footprint. Behind this man, there were endless evil, savage and vengeful shadows following closely behind him! It was the march of the thousand dead!

Horror and despair filled the city. The man’s bloody eyes fixated on the hospital at the centre of the city. The night sky was torn apart, half of it was dark as ink, the other half red as blood. Xin Hai Central Hospital sensed this change naturally. All the lights at the hospital were switched off. “Salvation and destruction is only one thin line apart, sometimes, destruction is also a kind of salvation.”

The young man stopped before the door of the hospital. Seven night doctors blocked his way forward.

“Chen Ge...” When the leading Doctor Gao opened his mouth to speak, his head was already plucked off his shoulder. The woman with the single eye tore apart Doctor Gao’s face, the head in her hands instantly became black threads that were wiggling like worms. Doctor Gao’s body collapsed heavily to the ground. Blood dyed his red coat. When his coat was fully red, Doctor Gao stood up from his pool of blood again. The black thread and blood vessel formed for him an ugly head that was filled with scars. That was the real appearance of the fake ‘doctor Gao’.

“At this stage, what is the purpose of words anymore?” Chen Ge did not waste any time on words. He also was not that naïve to think the hospital would let Zhang Ya so the most reliable action was to destroy everything, to tear down all the despair, pain, bliss and memory, to bury this fake city alive!

The night doctors revealed their true selves. Their white coats were flushed red. Seven Red Spectres with unique power guarded at the door. They stood at their posts. The doors of the seven sick halls at the hospital opened at once. The patients that the hospital had once ‘treated’ rushed out like waves. These patients appeared to have been fed the black pills. Their eyes were shining with pain and madness, as they rushed towards Chen Ge!

There were so many of them, the hospital appeared to have a limitless supply of patients.

“Chen Ge!” A familiar voice suddenly came from a spot behind him. Chen Ge turned his head to look. The author was running over while dragging a worker at the theme park in a Doreamon costume and behind them there were numerous people who were hurrying from various corner of the city.

“The people that you have once saved will one day become your own salvation.”

A man in red walked out from the crowd. The presence that he gave off was even scarier than Single Eye.
