Chapter 1052 – Eternal Night
The neighborhood where Ying Chen lived was called Ming Yuan, once the most famous neighborhood in the old city, and those who lived here were all rich people.
However, with the opening up of the economy, and the rapid development of the new area, the old town population loss, the people living here less and less.
Once high-grade housing, now look and feel very cold, shabby, no security guards at the door, the greening of the district is also very poor, walking in the district can even smell a faint strange smell.
”This is the house that my parents bought in the beginning, they are doing business, if they didn’t have an accident at that time, I might be a rich second generation now.” Ying Chen joked, but his voice was permeated with a hint of bitterness, behind this joke hid his true thoughts.
Under Ying Chen’s leadership, the two of them came to the deepest part of the neighborhood.
”My house is on the seventh floor, why don’t I go up and get your clothes for you, you can just wait downstairs.” Ying Chen wasn’t too keen on letting Chen Ge go to his house and thought of all sorts of excuses.
”It’s okay, if you go up to fetch it, you’ll have to come back down to give it to me later, it’s too much trouble to make a trip for a white robe.” Chen Ge entered the building directly without saying a word, his nose twitched, that faint stench seemed to have become stronger.
Looking towards the surroundings, Chen Ge found that there was even an elevator installed inside the building, but it was the kind of old elevator from many years ago.
”Mingyuan was the only neighborhood in the old city that had an elevator installed in the first place, and it was also once scenic, but now the capable people in the neighborhood have basically all moved away.” Yingchen pointed to the elevator, “Don’t ever go to ride it, that elevator often breaks down and occasionally makes a lot of noise, it’s especially scary.”
Under Ying Chen’s strong request, he and Chen Ge took the stairs together to the seventh floor.
The whole building gave Chen Ge a very bad feeling, it was shabby and very poorly sanitized, he couldn’t hear any sounds and couldn’t feel any popularity, it must be very depressing to live in such a place.
”My house is a bit messy, I hope you don’t mind.” Ying Chen’s house lived close to the stairs, he took out his key and dawdled for a while before opening the door.
The stench of the air became even stronger, Chen Ge glanced towards the house, Ying Chen’s house was large, but it was decorated in a shabby manner, and many of the furniture were scratched up.
”I prefer cats, I adopted several stray cats at home, these are their masterpieces.” Ying Chen said helplessly, “Feel free to sit down, I’ll go find clothes for you.”
After entering the house, Chen Ge subconsciously rubbed his nose with his fingers, the sofa, the floor, and the dining table were covered with cat hair, but strangely there was not a single cat to be seen or heard in the house.
”That stench isn’t coming from cats, the odor is very similar to the one in the old city, I also smelled it when I entered Yu-mi’s room, and by the time I came out from behind Yu-mi’s door, the stench had disappeared.”
Chen Ge had smelled that strange stench in many places, he couldn’t tell what exactly that stench was emanating from, he only knew that the stench should be related to the “door”.
When Ying Chen went to get his clothes, Chen Ge took the time to look around.
The house was sparsely furnished and simply decorated, with a total of five rooms, four of which had their doors shut tightly.
Not long after, Ying Chen walked out of the bedroom, holding a set of his own clothes: ”How about this one? It’s more formal and matches your pants.”
”Thanks a lot, you’ve done me a big favor this time.” Chen Ge looked happy, “Can I borrow the bathroom?”
”The first room at the entrance.” Being able to help Chen Ge, Ying Chen was also quite happy, in his opinion he had already secured this business.
Entering the bathroom, Chen Ge closed the door to the room and took out the comic book from his backpack to conjure Men Nan out.
”You and Tong Tong will hide here for now, look for a chance to send Tong Tong into his cell phone, in addition I will come over before twelve o’clock at night, at that time you will help me open the door in the house.” Chen Ge whispered.
”Just let me be the mole?”
”You’re the smartest out of all the red coats, this job is something only you’re capable of.” Chen Ge continuously praised Men Nan, and the other party then agreed.
After washing his face, Chen Ge walked out of the bathroom, “Ying Chen, thank you so much for this time, I’ll go back and prepare the contract, how about we sign it tomorrow?”
”Good!” Ying Chen is a person who loves money more, I don’t know if he is pretending or he really regards money as his life.
”It’s comfortable to work with someone who’s quick, it just so happens that I’m here today, so let’s simply go through the process directly.” Chen Ge asked Ying Chen a lot of questions, mostly about the website, until the end, he mentioned Ying Chen’s brother intentionally or unintentionally, “I heard that you have a younger brother, what’s going on with that kid’s eyes? I know several great ophthalmologists, just give me a shout if you need anything.”
”My brother’s eyes weren’t blind from birth, it was probably when he was three or four years old that he suffered from an eye disease, and since then the situation has been getting worse and worse, and a big part of the reason why I’m trying to earn money is because I want to give him a cure for his eyes.”
”This brotherly love of yours is really touching.” Chen Ge put his backpack down, “The sooner the eye disease is treated, the better, can I meet your brother?”
Chen Ge’s request was a bit abrupt, but Ying Chen didn’t think much about it in other ways, and after a slight hesitation, he got up and walked to that room next to the bathroom, “Ying pupil? Doing something?”
”Sleeping.” A very soft voice came from inside the house.
”Then you sleep, I’ll leave you alone.” Ying Chen spread his hands and looked at Chen Ge with some apologies, “That child is sleeping, I’m really sorry.”
”It’s fine, it’s fine.” Chen Ge said it was fine on his lips, but in his heart, he had actually become suspicious.
When Ying Chen asked Ying pupil what he was doing, the Ying pupil in the house answered the word sleeping in an instant, it was almost as if it had been discussed in advance.
If he was really sleeping, he would have at least paused for a moment before answering, and he couldn’t hear any sleepiness in his voice.
Ying Hitomi seemed to be afraid of his brother, and there was some sort of secret hidden between them as brothers.
”Alright then, I’ll leave you alone, tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, I’ll come over with the contract.”
”Brother Chen, take your time.”
The door to the room closed, and the expressions of Ying Chen and Chen Ge inside and outside the room became cold at the same time.
Chen Ge stood in the doorway and did not leave, instead, he leaned on the door and listened, the sound of a bedroom door being opened came from inside the house not long after, followed by the sound of a child’s crying.
”This guy, really sucks.”
Without possessing definitive evidence, Chen Ge didn’t take any chances; Men Nan and Tong Tong were in the house, so if anything particularly bad really happened, they would definitely put a stop to it.
Standing alone in the corridor, Chen Ge glanced at the building and elevator next to him, and finally left down the hallway.
”If Ying pupil this is the child chosen by the Underworld Fetus, then this door must be hellish level difficulty.”
”Jiang Ming is deaf in both ears, and I can’t hear those ghosts and monsters in his world behind the door; Fang Yu’s memory is very poor, and my memories are fading in her world behind the door; if I extrapolate from this, my vision will definitely be limited in Ying pupil’s world behind the door as well, and the biggest possibility is that the ghosts are right next to me, but I can’t see them. ”
Vision is very important to normal people, people who are used to seeing the world with their eyes, suddenly being locked into the middle of a pitch-black labyrinth, he will be very uncomfortable.
”Zhang Ya hasn’t awakened yet, this door is very dangerous for me, it’s better for me to bring the son of the tunnel girl ghost for insurance purposes.”
If there wasn’t a lack of time, Chen Ge even wanted to bring the Living Coffin Village Well Throwing Female Ghost with him.
Leaving Ming Yuan, Chen Ge waited until after dark and went directly to the White Dragon Cave Tunnel, finding the son of the Tunnel Lady Ghost deep in the tunnel.
The two sides had already made an agreement before, and the son of the Tunnel Lady Ghost didn’t renege.
However, there was an unexpected scene when Chen Ge wanted to put the tunnel girl ghost’s son into the comic book.
Probably because there was a door in his body, Yan Dainian’s comic book was unable to include him in it, and this was the first time Chen Ge had encountered this situation.
The two sides deliberated for a long time, and the son of the tunneling female ghost wanted to hide in Chen Ge’s shadow, but he stopped next to Chen Ge’s shadow for a long time, and then voluntarily gave up the idea for some reason.
They tried several methods, and in the end, the tunnel woman ghost’s son spread out his hideous footsteps that were nearly two meters long and wrapped Chen Ge from behind him.
This feeling of being imprisoned by the red-clothed spider wasn’t pleasant, Chen Ge was cold and his body temperature was dropping.
The entire process lasted for about a minute before the tunneling female ghost’s son disappeared, while an incomparably huge and frightening ghostly spider tattoo appeared on Chen Ge’s entire back and legs.
This tattoo could only be seen amongst the shadows, and it was very frightening.
His body was cold, Chen Ge hated this feeling, but now that finding the Underworld Tire was the most crucial thing, he didn’t care too much.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, Chen Ge returned to the Mingyuan neighborhood in the old city, but until eleven thirty in the evening he still hadn’t received a message from Tong Tong.
”There won’t be a problem, right? With Men Nan, the red-robed protector, the other party is just an ordinary person, could it be that the Cursed Hospital’s Unsmiling has come over as well?”
The only people who deduced that they should be pupils were Chen Ge and Li Zheng, and Chen Ge felt that the probability of Not Smiling making a move was very small.
Being cautious, Chen Ge entered the building, he had just reached the fourth floor his own cell phone vibrated.
”Ying Chen had sent him a text message – he was ready to go out with his tools!
The ones manipulating Ying Chen’s cell phone should be Tong Tong and Men Nan, and with the experience of the last time, this time they worked together seamlessly, and Ying Chen seemed to be completely unaware of it.
”Going out at eleven thirty? Still carrying tools?”
After receiving the message, Chen Ge hurriedly hid in the middle of the floor to avoid meeting Ying Chen.
He quietly watched the entrance to the building, and it wasn’t long before he saw Ying Chen, who was wearing a duck-tongued hat and carrying a large black bag, heading downstairs.
”What’s in that bag can’t be a corpse, right? Looking at the size, it kind of looks like a cat.”
Ying Chen’s perverse behavior once again deepened Chen Ge’s suspicion of him.
The door of the Underworld Fetus would appear at exactly zero midnight, so Chen Ge couldn’t care about anything else, he waited for Ying Chen to go downstairs and then ran directly to the door of Ying Chen’s house.
The other side was not unlocked, so Chen Ge summoned Old Zhou to open the door from inside the house and sneak into it.
There were no lights on in the house, making it look cold and gloomy, Chen Ge stood at the window and glanced downstairs.
Ying Chen carried the black bag out of the neighborhood and entered an abandoned construction site next to it.
”Burying a corpse?”
Ying Chen estimated that he would be back soon, and Chen Ge didn’t waste any time as he briefly searched the house with Old Zhou.
Everything was normal in the toilet and kitchen, except that the lower level of the refrigerator was stuffed with very chopped meat.
The other rooms didn’t seem to have any problems on the surface either, and the bedroom where Ying Chen himself lived was so clean that not a single cat hair could be seen, which was completely different from the other rooms.
Adjacent to Ying Chen’s bedroom was the workroom, Chen Ge had seen on videos that most of his videos were shot in this room.
Next to the workroom was a locked room, Chen Ge had Old Zhou go in and take a look, there were several stray cats on strings in that room, two of them were already dying.
The last room in the house was Ying pupil’s bedroom, Chen Ge first let Lao Zhou go in to explore it.
After learning that Ying pupil was already asleep, Chen Ge asked Lao Zhou to open the door from the inside.
The moment the bedroom door was opened, the stench hit his nose, and the stench in this room was even stronger than that in Yu Muyi’s room.
Covering his mouth and nose, Chen Ge looked towards the room.
Ying pupil’s bedroom was very small, the windows were boarded up, there were no light bulbs installed in the lamps, there were handprints painted in various colors on the walls, many blood-stained cotton swabs were thrown haphazardly on the floor, and there was a radio and music box on the table, as well as many oddly shaped dolls.
Even if Chen Ge stood in an adult’s point of view, those dolls looked very twisted and scary, definitely not suitable for children to play, put in the haunted house to scare people is more or less.
Ying pupil didn’t realize that Chen Ge had come in, he was sleeping soundly and seemed a bit tired.
Chen Ge used his Yin pupil and found that Ying pupil had some bumps and bruises on his body, but none of the injuries were serious.
”This child seems to be very insecure, his body always clings to the wall when he sleeps.”
Sleeping against the wall was very uncomfortable, but it was as if Ying pupil had gotten used to it, he curled up his body, and his hands were still holding a picture frame, in the frame was a picture of Ying Chen.
”The two of them brothers are so close? Ying pupil even sleeps with his brother’s picture in his arms?”
Chen Ge had a lot of doubts in his heart, it seemed to him that Ying pupil was more in awe of his brother, not the love between family members.
He observed carefully and realized that the size of the photo and the frame were not too suitable, the photo looked like it had been stuffed in later, as for where the original photo in the frame had gone, it was estimated that only Ying Chen knew.
The bedroom is airtight and isolated from the outside world, and at first glance there is nothing too special about it.
When Ying Chen was about to come back, Chen Ge did not leave, he stood in Ying pupil’s bedroom and waited for the “door” to appear.
At midnight, a door completely covered with the color of blood silently appeared next to Ying pupil’s bed.
The lock of the door slightly trembled, black lines appeared on the door plate, no one touched it, but the door seemed to open by itself.
Footsteps came from outside the house, the security door of the living room was opened, and Ying Chen returned.
Carrying his backpack, Chen Ge did not hesitate and directly pushed open the bloody door to enter it.
……
As if his body was plunged into quicksand and kept sinking, Chen Ge struggled desperately as the air in his lungs gradually became less and less, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more intense.
When he almost thought he was about to die, he violently opened his eyes.
Every time he entered the door of the Underworld Fetus, it was as if he was walking on the edge of life and death, and Chen Ge didn’t have time to catch his breath before his face changed once again.
”This is ……”
The surroundings were pitch black, no light could be seen, and it was as if the world behind this door was covered by a huge black curtain and plunged into eternal night.
Chen Ge stood still, the world behind the door of the Underworld Tire became more and more dangerous and bizarre the further back he went, there was no room for carelessness.
