Chapter 399: 399

The woman’s head was caved inward, her body was mangled, and her face was misshapen; one could barely make out the shape of a human . Even for Chen Ge, who had grown up with the props inside a Haunted House, he found this hard to stomach .

Isn’t this a bit too much?

The woman had suffered a horrible death, and Chen Ge resisted the urge to escape, standing where he was .

“Help me, I’m right here…” The woman waved her hand even though she was standing before Chen Ge . It was as if she was afraid that he could not see her .

The face neared, and Chen Ge’s hair stood on end . He immediately answered, “You’ve been telling me you’re here . Is it because, when you called for help before, those who passed by ignored you?”

When he said that, the woman slowed down, and her mangled lips pressed together . When Chen Ge saw the opportunity, he adopted the same tone that he used to converse with Xu Yin and Zhang Ya . “Don’t worry, I’m not like those people . “

Although he had no employees with him, Chen Ge was weirdly calm . He felt like he was slowly returning to his normal state .

“I can imagine the pain that you must have been through—every plea for help was a grasp for the very last hope; however, reality has injured you time and again . ” There was pity in Chen Ge’s gaze, and he raised his head to look into the woman’s eyes . “I know you have been waiting for someone to lend you a hand, and perhaps if someone had stepped forward, you’d have the hope to face life . I understand what you’re doing, and I know what you’re feeling . I don’t ask that you trust me fully, but I ask that you give yourself a chance and me a chance . “

Chen Ge reached out his hand . “They didn’t help you, but I will . They ignored you, but I won’t . They won’t save you, but I will!”

With a small step forward, he said, “This tunnel is dark and hiding many sorrowful histories, so how about I bring you out with me?”

When Chen Ge stepped forward, the woman subconsciously took a step back . A huge part of her head was missing, and only three quarters of her face remained . Her face forced out a weird expression . It was difficult to tell what she was trying to express . Perhaps she was also surprised by Chen Ge’s reaction; she had not come across someone like him, and she did not know how to react .

Staring at the woman’s face, Chen Ge asked in a serious tone, “How do you want me to help you?”

The woman’s waving hand gradually stopped . Using her almost falling head to look at Chen Ge, after a long time, she said, “I’m here . There’s an opening in my head, and blood drenched my eyes . I cannot see anything, help me . “

Blood oozed out of the giant cut on the woman’s head—it was gory to say the least . Chen Ge pulled a part of his shirt out, and with the woman watching curiously, he raised his hands . “I’ll help you stop the blood loss first, then I’ll bring you out with me . “

The woman’s pupils danced inside the protruding sockets, and she said, “My arms and shoulders were shattered on impact, help me . “

The woman seemed to be repeating what she had said at her moment of death . It sounded sad and heavy with despair .

“Left arm or right arm?” Chen Ge stared at her . The woman did not seem to have considered that question before . He moved slowly forward . “Then you can lean against me . “

Whenever Chen Ge spoke, the woman was stunned . This was the first time that she had heard this kind of heartwarming offer . The woman stood in the tunnel for a long time before the blood in her eyes slowly dispersed .

However, that only lasted for several seconds before she seemed to remember something very painful and resentment as well as venom leaked out of her eyes again . “The car ran over my legs, and I cannot move . “

“It’s fine . ” Chen Ge stared at the woman with sincerity, “Don’t be scared, I’ll carry you . “

“Carry me?” The woman’s eyes were filled with shocked . She did not expect Chen Ge to do this too . The resentment in her eyes slowly decreased, and she was fiddling with a decision in her mind . Chen Ge did not know if he should make use of this opportunity to run . He was familiar with the power of a Red Specter and knew that he would not have been able to escape .

While the woman was hesitating, Chen Ge turned around and slowly squatted down . “Come, I’ll carry you out of this tunnel . “

Seeing Chen Ge’s back, the woman was flustered . This was the first time that she had come across someone so kind .

“Carry me?”

“Yes . “

Chen Ge’s forehead and collar were drenched in cold sweat, and his fingers were trembling . However, he had great mental pressure resistance, and his voice was as calm as ever . “This tunnel is filled with painful memories . Staying here is a form of torture for you as well . “

Chen Ge suddenly felt a heavy mist of blood coming from his back . He turned to look, and the woman with twisted limbs and broken face was pressed against his face . The woman’s eyes were knitted with resentment, venom, and a trace of uncertainty . She was probably also wondering if she should kill Chen Ge . The pressure on his back increased, and Chen Ge’s body slowly became numb . His neck felt like it was roped by vines, and he knew that the woman still had not given up the idea of killing him .

“I know that you might not trust me and think I’m doing all this to lie to you, but that is not the truth . I’ve helped many souls in your condition, and that is probably why you can feel this trace of kindness from me . ” Chen Ge sighed—he sounded tired . “I don’t ask for much for doing all this . I just want to help those in need . “

With a self-deprecating laugh, Chen Ge shook his head lightly, and helplessness filled his voice . “In my daily life, people often make fun of me for being so stupid to forgive my enemy and opponent . Why wouldn’t I believe in the darker side of reality and insist on seeing the good in people and in my heart? Perhaps I’m that type of idiot . “

The voice sounded sad, but in it, there was also a forgiveness that overcame all the misunderstandings . The resentment in the woman’s eyes drastically reduced . With her hands on Chen Ge’s shoulders, she tried to view this man from a different angle .

“Don’t move and don’t let go . Trust me, just this time, let me carry you out . “

Chen Ge moved one step deeper into the tunnel and called his name . However, the light did not reappear . After confirming the mission had been completed, he turned around and carried the woman out the tunnel .

“I came here at night for no other reason than wanting to help you, so please, let’s leave this tunnel together . ”
