Even if she saw the walls of death notices, the middle-aged woman refused to believe it. Perhaps she already had the answer, but she didn’t want to admit it. Situ An picked up the bloody scalpel from the floor and walked towards Situ An’s mother. They stood in the corridor that detailed Situ An’s life and looked at each other.
“If the devil descends on earth, he’ll probably have your face, right?” The middle-aged woman leaned against the wall. The bloody sunlight slid down her shoulders. In this strange world, she appeared so pure.
Gao Ming didn’t answer the woman. He slowly raised the knife, but he didn’t stab the woman. With Xuan Wen looking on in confusion, Gao Ming cut open a gash on his chest. Things that flowed out with the blood included the death mories that were buried inside his heart. These things were exposed to middle-aged won.
“Your son will never return. The curtain has fallen for his life. It’s ti for you to rest too.” The chains in the torture room collided with each other. They seed to co alive. “It doesn’t matter if you’re just his imagination or his mother’s soul.” Gao Ming stood between the light and shadow. The wound on his heart widened. The middle-aged woman saw the horrifying scene inside his heart. “I can bring you to et Situ An so that you can reunite with him.”
Xuan Wen seed to understand sothing. She reached into her pocket and called the number using Uncle Zhang’s phone. The familiar lody floated out of Gao Ming’s heart. The woman lifted her head with a shock. She parsed through the layers of death mories. The torture devices moved away. Deep inside the torture room, she saw a familiar face. Situ An was chained, and his face carried the craziest smile. His eyes were vicious.
“Situ An…”
At the sa ti, Situ An stopped breathing for a few seconds. The smile on his face froze. He didn’t greet her. Instead, Situ An appeared to have lost his mind as he yelled at the middle-aged woman, “Didn’t I tell you never to leave ho?”
Gao Ming had interacted with Situ An many tis through his many deaths, but he had never seen such fury in Situ An before. Situ An was rational to the point of sickness. As a parent chosen by the shadow world, he had never raised his voice before. When he was pursued by death, he would calm down and figure it out. When he was cornered, he’d have a back-up. Even after he was killed, he didn’t lose control and wanted to restart as a ghost. However, such a bastard who fought fate to the bitter end revealed a different face when he saw the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman’s eyes reddened. She cried not because she was scolded by Situ An, but because she finally saw her son. Her forr pride had beco a chained prisoner.
“Stay at ho! Stay at ho! How many tis I’ve told you that?” Situ An waved his arms. The chains rattled. The wounds on his soul tore open, but he didn’t seem to feel pain. “I knew I should have killed you! I can’t leave any humanity behind! I knew you’d be my weakness!”
As long as the middle-aged woman didn’t leave ho and remained ntally stable, the consciousness of all the outsiders would be trapped in his ho. The divine figurines collected by Lu Zang and Situ An would awaken and consu the outsider’s consciousness. From Situ An’s perspective, once Gao Ming died, he would be able to revive and beco an Evil Ghost in the shadow world. However, his plan was ruined because of the middle-aged woman.
“Ho is where you are. You can bring Situ An ho now.” Gao Ming opened the door to the torture room. The middle-aged woman was a part of Situ An. Once the woman entered the torture room, the existence of Situ An would be wiped from the world.
“Leave! You’ll only drag down! I should have killed you!” Situ An was agitated. He used all his might to break free from the chains, but that only worsened his wounds.
“Everything you see at the hospital is done by Situ An. Are the victims not other parent’s children too? Due to his existence, many families have been ruined. Soone has to rectify his mistake.” Gao Ming handed a chain to the middle-aged woman. “You have no other choice because even if I die, Situ An will not be able to escape the cage.”
“Do not co in here! Get lost! I have hated you since I was young! You are the source of my mistakes! I don’t need you!” Situ An growled angrily. He was like a gambler who had lost all of his chips. He brandished a broken bottle at his loved ones.
“Situ An…” The woman was kind. If she had a shred of malice, she wouldn’t be there. Because of her love, she would not leave at this mont. The reflection on the window blurred. The middle-aged woman returned to the ti from many years ago. She stepped into the hospital twenty years ago, and she stepped into the torture room twenty years later.
“Run! Leave!” Situ An’s soul had been twisted out of shape by the chains. He didn’t even push this hard when he tried to escape himself. He was trying his best to stop the woman from joining him.
“Son, I should have stayed for you so many years ago. I’m so sorry for leaving you alone.”
Her hair instantly turned white, and her skin folded with wrinkles. The woman’s body withered away. The more she got closer to Situ An, the closer she got to Death.
She walked past the various torture devices and ca to Situ An. Her face was covered with tears, and her eyes shone with apology.
Situ An, who had been scolding her crazily, slowly cald down.
“He said those hurtful words to stop you from entering the torture room.” Gao Ming was Situ An’s nesis and the person who knew him the most. Situ An would never sincerely scold his mother. “He still hasn’t given up.”
Situ An stopped struggling. He wanted to reach out to touch the middle-aged woman, but his body was punctured by chains and rendered immobile.
The middle-aged woman slowly leaned forward to hold Situ An’s hands.
“Stop crying.” Situ An said coldly but with determination. “I’ll bring you out of here.”
