Chapter 1010 – Wu Sheng’s World

　　The same door, but in the eyes of Chen Ge and Wu Jinpeng represents a different meaning.

　　As night fell, Wu Jinpeng drank a lot of wine, drunkenness surged, he slowly removed the “armor” on his body.

　　The vicissitudes of the eyes revealed a trace of fatigue, he usually hide very well, never in front of the family to show.

　　”Wu Sheng, quickly go to sleep, tomorrow morning I have to send you to school.” Wu Jinpeng carried Wu Sheng to bed, “Good night, brat.”

　　After taking care of the little one, he still had to take care of the big one, he pulled the cloth curtains and sat next to his own brother, “Kun’er, don’t play with the electric fan, if you feel hot, brother will fan you.”

　　”Electric fan!” Wu Kun raised the electric fan with both hands and ran around the hut, just not to Wu Jinpeng.

　　”You slow down, don’t affect the neighbors.” Wu Jinpeng was also quite helpless, and sat down at the table again, “Sorry, my brother is more rowdy.”

　　”Brother Peng, I fixed the broken electric fan at my workplace before by myself, why don’t I help you look at it.” Chen Ge had learned a lot of things during the time he was running the haunted house alone, including installing surveillance probes, going through all kinds of wiring, and so on.

　　”I deliberately didn’t fix it for him.” Wu Jinpeng took another sip of wine, “Look at my brother’s left hand, he once put his hand into the electric fan ……”

　　”Got it.”

　　”My biggest wish is for Wu Sheng to act like a normal kid, my second wish is to buy an air conditioner, my brother is not enjoying it, if he knows how good an air conditioner is, he will definitely ditch the fan.” The rental house was narrow, Wu Jinpeng’s back was against the wall, he held a wine glass in one hand, the other hand stroked the stray dog’s head.

　　”Brother Peng, I can hear that you’re a man with a story, it just so happens that there’s still some time before twelve o’clock at night, can you tell me about your past?” Chen Ge wanted Wu Jinpeng to come and work in his haunted house, so he had to know Wu Jinpeng well before he could do so.

　　”What story do I have, my whole life is full of accidents.” Wu Jinpeng was a bit drunk, “Older brother, guess what the most expensive object in my house is?”

　　”How can I guess?” There wasn’t even a TV in the rental house, Chen Ge looked around, and only the broken fan in Wu Jinpeng’s brother’s hand was worth more.

　　”I’ll let you take a look.” Wu Jinpeng opened the wooden box in the corner, which contained a guitar, “This is not that kind of practice piano, it’s very expensive.”

　　”You still play guitar?” Chen Ge labeled Wu Jinpeng as a multi-talented person, and his evaluation of this handsome uncle increased by another level.

　　”I used to study music and was a wandering singer for a long time, and that’s when I met Wu Sheng’s mom.” Wu Jinpeng picked up his guitar, but probably because he was afraid of disturbing the neighbors, he didn’t touch the strings, he just gestured and strummed a few times in the air, “Wu Sheng’s mom is a fan of mine, she’s eight years younger than I am, and she’s especially nice, so even if she left, I don’t blame her at all.”

　　With wine on the table, a stray dog lying next to them, and a broken guitar in their arms, the two men sat like this in the crowded rented room chatting about the past and life.

　　”So do you still work as a mariachi singer?”

　　”I stopped doing it a long time ago, my dream used to be to write my own songs, even if I couldn’t become a singer, I still wanted to work in an industry related to music. Unfortunately, later on, because the reality was too hungry, barfed on the dream.” Wu Jinpeng closed his eyes and snapped his fingers in the air, “I used to be too rebellious and always felt that my insistence was right, there was a time when I even felt that the name my parents gave me was too earthy, and I secretly changed my name, which pissed off my dad for three days without sleeping.”

　　Opening his eyes, Wu Jinpeng drank another glass of wine, “I want to laugh when I think of the old man blowing his beard and glaring, but it’s a pity that I will never see it again.”

　　”Uncle?”

　　”The year Wu Sheng was born, the old couple went to Xinhai to see a doctor and ended up in a car accident.” Wu Jinpeng picked up his wine glass and muffled the wine in it in one gulp, “Actually, I’ve always suspected that it wasn’t a car accident, the two of them might have been because they couldn’t be cured anymore, and they didn’t want to drag me down anymore.”

　　The room quieted down, his younger brother Wu Kun tired of playing, he hugged the fan lying on his side in the corner.

　　”So now the family relies on you to take care of them alone?” Chen Ge felt that Wu Jinpeng was indeed not easy, he had to take care of his demented brother, and also earn tuition fees for Wu Sheng, he was the backbone of this family.

　　”En, actually it’s good to get used to it.” Wu Jinpeng put down the guitar in his hands, “Someone told me that life is all about being born and living, I think he was too pessimistic. What kind of life we live into, we can’t guarantee it, but what kind of mindset we use to live is completely up to us. I often tell Wu Sheng how wonderful and beautiful this world is, just that I hope he can grow up healthy and well, and then one day go see those beautiful things for himself.”

　　”Brother Peng, you’re too good at educating children.” Chen Ge picked up his wine glass and clinked one with Wu Jinpeng.

　　”I also think I’m very good at educating children, but the teachers at Peizhi Academy are always arguing with me, saying that I shouldn’t keep letting my children fantasize blindly, and that they should learn life skills on the ground.” Wu Jinpeng’s tone as if he was complaining amused Chen Ge.

　　He had a nice chat with Wu Jinpeng, in fact Chen Ge felt that this person was special when he first met him.

　　The suffering and despair in life had not knocked him down, but had instead sculpted his soul to be crystal clear, such a situation Chen Ge had not expected, and presumably the Undertow had not expected it either.

　　Chen Ge didn’t know what criteria the Underworld Fetus used to choose children now, but most of these children had one thing in common, being defective in some way and extremely depressed inside.

　　Extrapolating from Jiang Ming’s situation, the more despair and pain a child felt, the more terrifying the world behind the door would be, and the higher the fit with the Underworld Tire would be.

　　Considering this aspect, the probability of Wu Sheng being possessed by the Underworld Fetus wasn’t high, his old man was simply too good.

　　The two of them chatted for a while longer, and when it was almost eleven o’clock, they packed up the dishes, turned off the lights, and sat next to the cloth curtain.

　　At zero midnight, a shadow could be vaguely seen behind the cloth curtain, and Chen Ge gave Wu Jinpeng a gesture.

　　He had a lot of red clothes in his backpack, as long as he was close, the door would vibrate violently waking up Wu Sheng, and that door would naturally close.

　　Chen Ge grabbed the backpack and as Wu Jinpeng moved forward, he suddenly accelerated and pushed open the door.

　　The door lock shook, and by the time Wu Jinpeng looked back, Chen Ge had already disappeared along with that door.

　　”I go? Older brother? Where are you?”

　　……

　　Opening his eyes, Chen Ge was in front of a pitch-black alley, a faint mist of blood floated in the air, and the sound of grinding teeth could be faintly heard in his ears.

　　”Is this the world behind Wu Sheng’s door? How come it looks a bit like an old town?”
