The battlefield in the World Behind the Door had split into two parts. The Faceless Doctor and the Rag Doll seemed to have their reservations, keeping their fight confined to a small area.
Zhang Ya and "The Past," on the other hand, fought without restraint. They didn't care what became of the Black Fog World, or whether they attracted more Monsters. Once they attacked, it was a fight to the death.
After their first clash, Zhang Ya became the focus of everyone's attention.
Every time she appeared, she was stronger than before. Even when facing the enormous "The Past" alone, she didn't take a single step back.
But as her strength grew, so did the mysteries surrounding Zhang Ya. She seemed to have some kind of special connection to the Blood-colored City.
Zhang Ya had deflected "The Past's" first attack, leaving a long wound across its body. It had been inflicted in their recent clash.
Countless people's memories of the past had been torn apart, yet Xiang Nuan, embedded deep in "The Past's" head, still seemed dazed and confused.
His gaze was vacant, as if he didn't know what he was doing. He simply stared instinctively at Chen Ge and Zhang Ya.
"This Monster doesn't feel pain, and it doesn't seem capable of complicated thought, either. It's powerful, but clumsy and difficult to control. What did the Underworld Fetus create it for?"
The battle had reached a stalemate. Chen Ge stood at the heart of the storm, yet he wasn't the least bit flustered. He was thinking about a question he couldn't make sense of: What exactly was the Underworld Fetus trying to do?
The Black Phone had kept warning him to stop the Underworld Fetus from being born. If it was successfully born, he would die without a doubt.
