A flood of memories surfaced in Chen Ge's mind. One coincidence after another had occurred around him. They seemed accidental, but in truth, they had been inevitable.
"Between Chang Wenyu and the Painter, who should I help?"
When he had first obtained the Black Phone, Chen Ge had made a choice. That choice had changed his life, and it was what had given him the right to seek the truth.
"Although the Spirit Channeling School is a Four-Star Scene, it has no Door Pusher. There must be plenty of people eyeing this juicy prize."
At first, Chen Ge had treated "the Door" as a burden. But under Dr. Gao's "guidance" and "influence" at the Ghost Stories Society, he had gradually come to understand how important "the Door" was.
If used well, "The Door" could be used to accomplish many things.
In that sense, Dr. Gao was both Chen Ge's enemy and his guide.
Dr. Gao had wanted to bring Chen Ge into the Ghost Stories Society and make him his assistant. His plan had been sound, but too many unexpected things had happened along the way. In the end, Chen Ge had successfully joined the Ghost Stories Society, but he was the only member left.
"If Fan Yu really is the Painter, this could get interesting." Chen Ge didn't dislike the Painter, though he didn't particularly like him either. He just felt the Painter was different from the other Red-Clothed he had met.
There were so many Vengeful Spirits and Red-Clothed behind the Door, but the Painter was the only "ghost" who wanted to change the World Behind the Door through his own strength.
The idea was actually insane. Some Vengeful Spirits wanted revenge, and some Red-Clothed wanted to be reborn. The Painter was the only one who was different.
