Chapter 1030 – His First Conversation With It

　　The world that was fading seemed to be dispersed by the wind, Chen Ge looked at his hands that had turned grayish-white, and he realized that this world behind the door was even more troublesome than he had imagined.

　　”Thinking is becoming sluggish, it won’t do to drag on like this.”

　　Fang Yu’s Behind the Door world was much larger than Wu Sheng’s Behind the Door world, and most of the buildings were decorated the same except for the orphanage, so it was very easy to get lost walking through it.

　　Chen Ge also searched for a long time before finally finding the way out, which was a small path hidden in the gray woods.

　　No flowers could be smelled, no birds could be heard, and the surrounding area was full of gray tree crowns and white tree trunks.

　　His hands and feet had turned gray, and Chen Ge felt that his walking speed was getting slower and slower, but that wasn’t actually the case, and he didn’t know why it was happening.

　　”No matter what, we must find the square fish!”

　　The trees were thick and layered, and the paths were winding, so he couldn’t see the end, Chen Ge could only keep walking forward, and he was also taking a gamble.

　　As long as he stayed in Fang Yu’s world, his memories would be slowly disappeared, so he couldn’t use the same method as in Wu Sheng’s world, he couldn’t stay in one place and wait for Xu Yin and the others to show up before acting.

　　Here, every minute and every second was very precious, it was just like Fang Yu’s own life, from the moment she opened her eyes in the morning, her memories were counting down while writing, she had to find the people in her memories before twelve o’clock in the evening because she knew that tomorrow she would wake up and everything would be blank again.

　　I don’t know how long I walked, when Chen Ge was gradually numb, a sudden light opened up in front of her eyes.

　　At the end of the path was a wooden house, surrounded by flowers and some toys scattered on the ground.

　　Pushing open the door, Chen Ge’s grip on his backpack slowly tightened, and he saw a girl sitting in the middle of the wooden house.

　　She was wearing pure white clothes and had dark gray hair, and she was holding a small fish tank in her arms, and there was a blood-red goldfish swimming in that tank.

　　It flipped its body up and down, but the space of the fish tank was limited, and there was only so much of the world it could touch.

　　”Square Fish?”

　　Hearing a loud noise, the girl wearing a pure white tunic turned her head to look at Chen Ge.

　　She had the same face as Fang Fish, and there was no life in her eyes, just like a puppet.

　　”Finally found you, let’s go home.”

　　The woman’s body moved slightly, her mouth opened slightly, no sound came out, but it seemed like she was repeating the word “home”.

　　Chen Ge looked at the girl in the pure white coat, his eyes slowly fell on the fish tank, the only color in this world was the blood red goldfish.

　　Entering the house, Chen Ge picked up the girl, the other party was at his mercy, seemingly just an empty shell without self-awareness.

　　”There are still a lot of people at home who miss you, they are always remembering you.”

　　The girl hugged the fish tank, her arm was grasped by Chen Ge as they slowly walked out of the wooden house.

　　The moment they stepped out of the wooden house, the goldfish in the middle of the fishbowl twisted in the water as if it was about to jump out of the fishbowl.

　　”Why do you keep holding the fish tank? Is that goldfish important to you?”

　　”En.” A simple word, but it was the first voice Chen Ge heard in the world after the Square Fish Gate.

　　Realizing that he could communicate with the other party, a smile appeared on Chen Ge’s face, “You must be lonely here all alone, right? Do you still remember that there was once a boy who was always with you, always talking by your side.”

　　The girl shook her head, her eyes looking at the goldfish in the fish tank, not knowing what she was thinking.

　　”He helped you when you were in the most danger, and for you, he gave up his life.” Chen Ge supported the girl as he also stared at the goldfish in the fish tank, “Do you know what the end of life signifies?”

　　There was no answer, the girl stayed silent.

　　”The opposite of life is death, after a person dies, one can never hear his voice, see his face, or touch his palm again.” Chen Ge wasn’t making small talk with the girl when he said this, he was just testing the other party.

　　Fang Yu’s memory only lasted for a day, but that didn’t mean she had forgotten everything, there was one person she had never forgotten, and that was Zhang Yi.

　　Chen Ge was clear about what Zhang Yi represented to Fang Yu, and before entering the world behind Fang Yu’s door, he had guessed that the only light in the world behind Fang Yu’s door was Zhang Yi.

　　But after actually seeing the Fang Fish, Chen Ge realized that things were not that simple, the only color in this grayish-white world was a goldfish, a blood-red goldfish.

　　”In this world, other than me, has anyone ever spoken to you?” Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked next to the girl, the two of them walking side by side, though neither of their gazes looked at the other, staring elsewhere instead.

　　”No.” The girl returned two words after a long time, her face was expressionless, there was no hope in her gray pupils, nor could she see despair, only a dead silence.

　　”Then am I considered your only friend?” Chen Ge spoke very slowly, as if he had to think for a long time without saying a single word.

　　”Friend?” The girl stopped, her gray eyes looking towards Chen Ge, her pupils reflecting Chen Ge’s face.

　　For some reason, the world in her eyes seemed to have become even more desolate, “You, no.”

　　”Well, it looks like I recognized the wrong person.” Chen Ge’s hand gently rested on the girl’s shoulder, “I used to have a friend who was a lot like you, he was also lonely, very lonely, and always alone. I forgot how we met, I only know that we used to be inseparable.”

　　”Pop!”

　　A crack appeared on the transparent fish tank, but the girl acted as if nothing had happened, still holding the fish tank and slowly walking towards the front.

　　”Friends who were once inseparable, why are they strangers?” Chen Ge looked at the rugged path and shouted Xu Yin’s name in his heart, the employees were forcibly breaking through the restraints, and several red coats were ready to join forces to destroy the world behind the door.

　　”I forgot a lot of things, all the pain, the despair, and all the things that happened with that friend. When I came back to my senses, that friend of mine had already left.”

　　”What was the name of that friend of yours?” The girl’s voice was low and she kept her head down.

　　”I don’t remember, it might be called Chen Ge.” Chen Ge stopped walking, “He wanted the same name as me.”

　　The girl didn’t stop and continued to walk forward, the cracks on that fish tank gradually increased, the goldfish twisted their bodies uneasily, and the originally clear water became cloudy.

　　”I know someone with that name too.” The girl’s voice was vaguely different from before, “He has no friends, no one wants to be his friend, including me.”

　　”Is the boy annoying?”

　　”No, on the contrary, he’s a very well behaved boy.” The girl hung her head low, her voice seeming to come not from her mouth, but more like it was coming from somewhere in the world behind this door.

　　”Why would a very well-behaved child have no friends?” Chen Ge spoke slower and slower, and most of his body turned a grayish white.

　　”Because he carries a secret.” The girl’s lowered head slowly raised, her face had begun to blur, “That’s a child who can’t be killed in any way, no matter what method is used to kill him, he will always come back, are you willing to be friends with such a child?”
