Chapter 0948 – When you’re in a bad mood, visit someone else’s family’s paradise

　　His scalp was numb, and Chen Ge didn’t dare to turn around now, his mind was groggy, and he was worried that he would be directly silenced by the other party if he said anything taboo.

　　”I’m not too sure what you’re talking about.”

　　”Twenty years ago there was a door that was about to be pushed open in the Jiangyuan neighborhood, no one knew where it was, only that it was in this neighborhood. Later when the neighborhood was rebuilt, that door was still not closed, and negative emotions constantly escaped from the door, attracting passing Yin Gods and severe ghosts, those poor ‘people’ you just encountered are all gathered here because of that door, and I was lucky enough to become a Redcoat because of that door.”

　　”If you want to put it that way, that door might really have something to do with me.” Chen Ge carefully replied, “I’ve forgotten a lot of things, so I can’t be sure of many things, if you can give me some more hints, maybe I can remember something.”

　　”It was a door that had been pushed halfway open, the first time I saw a door like that, it was as if a person who was desperate enough to push the door open was suddenly saved.” The withered hand slowly exerted force, and that red dress’s voice rang in Chen Ge’s ears, “One can only push open a door when they are most desperate, and a despair that can be redeemed cannot be called the deepest despair at all.”

　　Chen Ge memorized every word of the red dress, these things he might not understand now, but as the investigation went deeper, maybe at some point he would understand the deeper meaning.

　　”I really can’t recall, have you ever entered that door? What was inside the door?” Chen Ge began to take the initiative to ask questions, perhaps because he had seen too many red clothes, that fear in his heart quickly dissipated, and was replaced by a feeling of climbing into a conversation with an acquaintance.

　　”You want to know what’s inside the door?” The withered hand pressed Chen Ge’s neck, “Didn’t you already see it just now?”

　　”Me? Seen it?” Chen Ge’s eyes widened, “The fourteenth floor? Inside the door is my former home?”

　　”That’s right, it used to be your home, but now it’s my home.” The dry and skinny fingers were like knives, a little bit didn’t enter Chen Ge’s neck, “I helped you push open that door, but I have never been able to become the door pusher, I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out, maybe it’s because the real door pusher is still alive, and only by killing that door pusher, I can really control that door.”

　　”Calm down first, I just thought back properly, I actually have nothing to do with that door at all. Really! How could someone as life-loving, cheerful and easy-going as me be so desperate as to push a door?”

　　”But when you appeared, that door opened on its own, and a voice I’ve never heard before came out of it.” Red’s grip tightened.

　　”Well, I can’t deny the relationship between myself and that door, but that door really wasn’t pushed open by me, if you want to find the door pusher I can help you along.” Chen Ge pointed to the edge of the building, “You should have seen it just now, that kid who was pushed down from upstairs is the real door pusher, I’m looking for him too.”

　　”You can’t fool me, the scene behind the door is woven from the memories of the door pusher, the sound you heard on the fourteenth floor just now and the scene you saw on the roof are all things deep in your memories, all of those are your own memories, that’s why you’re so vicarious.” Red Clothes’ unintentional words had awakened Chen Ge.

　　It was as if a light crossed his mind, “Memories?”

　　Things that should have been forgotten were accidentally retained through the door, and those scenes, although desperate, were indeed memories of what had been.

　　”I seem to understand a little bit.” Chen Ge’s pupils slowly narrowed, “The blood-red city contains scene after scene, each scene is pushed open by the door pusher, those scenes are the desperate memories of the door pusher woven together, just now the young me on the roof of the building had said a sentence – memories appear because of people, but people forget But people forget them. Will the memories get angry? People, Ghosts, Memories, Obsessions ……”

　　”Are you done with your last words?”

　　”Wait!” Hearing Red’s voice, Chen Ge seemed like a cat that had its foot stepped on, “You saw the scene just now, memories don’t fake, the real door pusher had already been pushed off the roof by the doctor, and he died a long time ago. The reason why you didn’t become the door pusher is probably because his obsession hasn’t completely dissipated.”

　　Chen Ge’s words did make sense, but it was still hard to convince Red Clothes: “I know it’s useless to say more, and I won’t make any empty promises to you, I just hope that you can forgive me for a few days, and I will help you find the real Gate Pusher.”

　　The red dress behind her didn’t say anything, and Chen Ge immediately spoke again and added, “If a few days is too long for you, then how about we agree on twenty-four hours? I have to go home to make sure of something, you can come with me if you really don’t feel comfortable, you can stand in my shadow and keep an eye on me at all times, my life is in your hands.”

　　The pain in his neck lessened a bit, that red suit seemed a bit intent, but he kept quiet.

　　After a few minutes of silence like this, as if Chen Ge had died, he silently raised his own hand, “Alright, it seems that you’re not willing to let me go, so can I make one last small request?”

　　”Speak.”

　　”Give me a few minutes, I’d like to make a call to the police. I promised that girl in the hallway that I would help her find the murderer. Now I can’t do that anymore, but I want to at least leave her with a hope and stop letting her freeze alone.” Chen Ge slowly took out his cell phone, but the red dress behind him was silent.

　　After a long time, the withered hand on his neck loosened, “Three days, three days later at two in the morning, I’ll wait for you on the fourteenth floor.”

　　The sense of oppression slowly disappeared, the iron door leading to the roof on the seventeenth floor was heavily closed, and everything around them returned to normal.

　　”Pfft!”

　　Chen Ge stood in place without moving, and the white cat on his shoulder couldn’t carry it first.

　　Probably because of keeping a posture for too long, the white cat jumped to the ground unnaturally, its body was like frozen, walking with a limp for a while before returning to normal.

　　Seeing that the white cat dared to move, Chen Ge was relieved and sat on the ground against the wall.

　　”You guys are really wimpy! The severe ghost is lying on my shoulder, you could at least rub against me and give me a wake-up call!”

　　”Meow?!”

　　The white cat was also furious at the sight of Chen Ge, barking around him as if to say come and try to get shoulder-to-shoulder with Red?

　　After one person and one cat messed around for a while, Chen Ge also regained some strength, he put on his jacket again and hugged the white cat as he cowered in the corner of the roof.

　　Returning the same way was impossible, and riding the elevator also had a psychological shadow, so Chen Ge decided to wait for dawn before going downstairs very securely.

　　”Tonight scared me enough, after dawn, I must go to Virtual Future Paradise to relax ……”
