Chapter 0398 – A Secret Buried in the Bottom of the Heart
How to choose was life threatening, Chen Ge rarely saw tangled up.
The woman cried out louder and louder, but the weird thing was that there was no echo from her in the tunnel, as if Chen Ge was the only one who could hear her.
”The person who saved you died in the tunnel, and the person who didn’t save you didn’t make the news, but I guess it won’t end well either.”
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ge decided to leave this woman alone for now, and wait until the nightmare level quests were completed before doing this delivery.
Taking the forty-first step, the wind sound in his ears seemed to diminish a bit, not knowing if it was because Chen Ge had gathered too many severe ghosts around him or for some other reason.
The bright light emanating from his cell phone began to distort, and it could be clearly felt that the surroundings had become much darker.
Picking himself up, Chen Ge shouted out his name.
”There are still the last three steps left.”
The woman in red on the left side of the tunnel had already closed in, and all sorts of severe ghosts came to a close, Chen Ge looked deep into the tunnel with both eyes and took his forty-second step without wavering.
When his front foot hit the ground, the flashlight that came with his cell phone suddenly went out.
There was no sign, and no matter how the switch was pressed, the phone did not respond.
Darkness descended and enveloped Chen Ge, and even with his Yin pupils, he could only see two or three meters farther than normal people.
There was absolutely no light at all, Chen Ge stood still and didn’t dare to walk around casually.
When a person was in absolute darkness, his five senses would be clouded, and without any reference, he would easily get lost.
He was worried that he would accidentally fall and not be able to tell which direction he was facing when he stood up again.
That was a scary thing in a tunnel, and in case he chose the wrong path, he would probably go deeper into the tunnel.
Silence fell around them, and the woman in red closed her mouth.
But this feeling was bad, knowing that there were severe ghosts everywhere around him, but he just couldn’t see them.
Chen Ge’s breathing became difficult, and a feeling of oppression came from all around his body, “We can’t continue to stay here.”
Lifting his leg, Chen Ge took the forty-third step.
The tunnel became even quieter, it was as if all those stern ghosts had disappeared, what was even stranger was that a bit of bright light was faintly coming from the depths of the tunnel.
It was very faint and couldn’t be seen clearly.
”Coming out of the tunnel?”
The bright light in the distance was not stationary, it was slowly approaching, as if someone was carrying a lamp.
Chen Ge didn’t act rashly, he concentrated all his attention on the bright light, his body seemed to be squeezed by something, as if he was drilling into the middle of an invisible wall of air.
As the bright light slowly approached, the pressure Chen Ge endured increased.
”Whatever, last step, take it first!” Feeling like his body was about to be torn apart, he forcefully lifted his leg and prepared to take the forty-fourth step.
The light was approaching, and the figure that was hidden behind the light gradually became clearer.
With his eyes looking ahead, his pupils contracted, Chen Ge’s left leg hung in the air and even forgot to put it down, he could hardly believe his eyes.
”That’s ……”
Behind the light was a boy, he was carrying a school bag, the zipper of the bag was half-open, and there was a very rough ragdoll inside.
The boy’s left hand seemed to be held by someone, his right hand was holding a cell phone to illuminate the way, this cell phone was the kind produced many years ago, it didn’t even have the function of a flashlight, he could only rely on the faint light emitted from the screen to move forward step by step.
The boy’s expression was serious, as if he was looking for something.
His hand was being held, and it was obvious that an adult had accompanied him in.
Probably a little tired from holding the phone up all the way, he lowered his arm and took a few more steps forward, finally stopping in front of Chen Ge.
The kid didn’t seem to realize that there was someone in front of him as he stared into the endless darkness in front of him.
The adult next to him seemed to say a few words to him, as if trying to persuade him to give up, but the boy didn’t agree and continued to look at the darkness in front of him.
As if sensing something, the boy tilted his head and pointed his cell phone screen directly in front of him.
In the middle of the absolutely dark tunnel, the beam of light that was so weak that it could almost be ignored, strung together the two people’s line of sight.
Chen Ge stood at the side of the tunnel, as if he was frozen like a plaster, his eyes staring at the boy’s face.
This child was the same person he was many years ago!
His arms were trembling, Chen Ge couldn’t describe the strange feeling.
”I once saw a red house in the eastern suburb of Jiujiang, there were many children playing and laughing around that house, then I fainted, and then when I woke up again, I found myself in a car, what had happened in the intervening period of time, I haven’t been able to recall until now.”
Chen Ge looked at the child, and the child was also looking at him.
Under the faint cell phone light, the boy opened his mouth, Chen Ge couldn’t hear his voice clearly, and could only judge from the shape of his mouth that the boy had said three words, which seemed to be -found!
The boy seemed to have something else to say, but the adult next to him didn’t give him a chance to continue talking, Chen Ge could clearly see that the boy’s neck began to deform, as if the adult who accompanied the boy into the tunnel had pinched his neck.
His body turned cold, Chen Ge gasped for air as he tried to stop that adult, his feet fell and he took the forty-fourth step!
This step seemed to have stepped out of the air, as if his body was falling infinitely, and as if his soul had been knocked out of his body and was about to let something suck it away.
The bright light in front of him was getting farther and farther away, he desperately wanted to grab onto something, but no one could help him at this time.
An indescribable despair welled up in his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes.
But just as his eyelids were about to close, a blood red figure appeared at the end of the bright light, blood spreading, the person seemed like a blood red sun.
She dispersed the boundless darkness into a blood red color.
”Zhang Ya?”
A sharp pain suddenly came from his arm, and Chen Ge’s eyes snapped open, waking up at once.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the bright light of Chen Ge’s cell phone returned to normal as he was still standing in the middle of the tunnel.
”I saw myself over ten years ago? Is that what I forgot?” Chen Ge felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, “So someone wanted to kill me at that time.”
There were no clues related to the murderer in his memory, and none of the familiar people around him had even been taken to prison, which meant that the person who had tried to kill him might have been living around him all along.
”Right now, we can only be sure that the person is in the eastern suburb, it’s not a big problem, take your time to settle this score.” Chen Ge looked towards the place where the pain came from just now, where blood was directly bitten out by the white cat, “Luckily I brought you here.”
Chen Ge stroked the white fur’s head, what he wanted to thank more was Zhang Ya, as he turned his head and was about to look at his shadow, he suddenly realized that the woman in red was standing close to him.
With her body mutilated and her head concave underneath, that woman looked at Chen Ge and repeated the words, “I’m here, help me, I’m here ……”
”Almost forgot about you.” With such a close distance, Chen Ge was no longer able to avoid it, he gritted his teeth, squinted at his own shadow, and then faced the woman in red, “How do you want me to help you?”
