Chapter 1053: I in the Darkness
A darkness, nothing could be seen, the world behind this door seemed to be devoid of light.
Chen Ge stood still and slowly crouched his body, he grabbed his backpack and listened with his ears open.
The sound of breathing, heartbeat, and the sound of a clock ticking.
”This seems to be in a room.”
Ying pupil was blind, his world was shrouded in darkness, he couldn’t see anything, but others in the middle of his world could see him, and that was the most dangerous part of this world.
Pulling open the zipper of his backpack, Chen Ge touched is broken ballpoint pen, he put that pen into his jacket pocket, then took out the comic book and placed it close to his body.
In this completely dark world behind the door, in case of a fall, or some other accident, the backpack would probably fall off.
He couldn’t keep everything all in the backpack, that would be too dangerous.
”The skull crushing hammer, high heels, and Zhang Ya’s storybook would be good to keep in the bag, if the other party found nothing in the bag, they would definitely become suspicious.”
Not being able to see anything, not knowing where he was, not knowing who the enemy was, and not even knowing what he looked like at the moment, this was the most bizarre door of all the doors Chen Ge had entered.
Trying to call out the name of the employee in his heart, Chen Ge waited for a long time still not obtaining any response.
”This world behind the door is even more exaggerated in its binding of red clothes than that world of Yu See, can I last until the employee wakes up?”
Accustomed to the light, Chen Ge was very uneasy after he lost his vision, which was a normal phenomenon.
Adjusting his breathing, Chen Ge stood up again.
He had already entered the world behind this door for almost ten minutes, and for those ten minutes he stayed where he was.
”My body remains the same, my clothes and appearance feel unchanged to the touch.”
Nose twitching, Chen Ge smelled the faint scent of disinfectant water and blood, as well as an odor from a cat.
He followed that smell of disinfectant water towards his back, and a cold touch came from his fingertips, “That big black iron door is behind me, my top priority right now is to determine my location, as well as find a safe place to hide and wait for the employees to break free.”
Trying to find a safe place in this situation was very difficult, after all he couldn’t see anything.
”Black iron doors usually appear in places that are more important in the memories of the person who pushes the door, and such places tend to be more dangerous, being frequented by plutonic fetuses and all sorts of negative memories.”
Almost fifteen minutes after entering the world behind the door, Chen Ge finally took his first step.
Putting his backpack on his back, Chen Ge held onto the wall with one hand while waving his other hand in front of him.
After surviving the initial uneasiness, he slowly calmed down.
”The Yin pupil doesn’t see through this darkness either, but the Ghost Ear and Spirit Scent aren’t affected, so I can make judgments with the help of my hearing and sense of smell, which are far superior to those of ordinary people.”
Not being able to see the enemy’s position, or even knowing what the enemy looked like, was what worried Chen Ge the most.
”Boom!”
Just after taking his second step, Chen Ge bumped into something, his knees ached, and he grinned, forcing himself not to make any noise but to crouch down again.
The first time he made a sound, he would probably attract the attention of some ghosts and monsters, so to be on the safe side, he could only stop again.
There were no strange noises, and the odor of the air did not appear to have changed, he seemed to be the only one in this room.
”Move as gently as possible.”
Chen Ge reached out and touched the thing he had just touched, it was a low bedside cabinet, “This height is very similar to the cabinet in Ying pupil’s room, am I in his room now?”
Pulling open the drawer, Chen Ge touched a picture frame, “Ying pupil was also holding a picture frame when he fell asleep in bed.”
The next discovery made Chen Ge even more certain that he was in Ying pupil’s room.
He successively found a radio in the room, a doll that was touching his body in a highly incongruous way, and a music box, all of which were things he had seen in Ying pupil’s room.
Moving his fingertips across the desk, Chen Ge found something that was somewhat unfamiliar to touch next to the music box.
”Buttons? It seems like a cell phone for the blind?” This cell phone’s buttons were particularly large, and the numbers on each button were raised upwards, making them easily distinguishable by touch alone.
”Should I take this cell phone with me?”
This cell phone was most likely something that belonged to Ying pupil, taking it away might have a way to contact Ying pupil and possibly obtain a lot of hints, but at the same time taking this cell phone with you would also entail a great deal of risk.
Because Chen Ge didn’t know when this cell phone would ring, in case he was hiding from some ghosts and monsters, the cell phone suddenly ringing would definitely expose his position.
”Can’t take it, the clues aren’t important, what’s important is to live to the end.”
This cell phone Chen Ge didn’t want to carry on his body, the risk was too great.
Chen Ge put the picture frame and cell phone back in their original places and continued to grope around the house.
Nightstand, closet, bed ……
The position of the furniture in the house was exactly the same as what Chen Ge remembered from Ying pupil’s room, but unfortunately Ying pupil was not in the bedroom.
”Where could a blind kid run off to?”
Chen Ge tried to deduce with his previous experience, “Ying pupil has his own home in the world behind the door, which means that something happened in this old house that caused him extreme pain.”
”Ying pupil’s brother isn’t quite normal, he’s a deeply hidden pervert, and this painful memory may have come from Ying Chen.”
”The two brothers were once adopted by a relative, and according to Ying Chen, the relative treated them very badly, so the relative should also be a bad image in the world behind this door.”
Chen Ge was thinking when the blind cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
The ear-piercing sound drilled into his brain, instantly breaking the silence of the hut.
”Oh no!” At that moment Chen Ge even wanted to take out his skull crushing hammer and directly smash this cell phone, he desperately wanted to leave but felt that it was too dangerous to go out like this.
The cell phone rang for seven or eight times and finally stopped, Chen Ge then breathed a sigh of relief.
”I can’t see anything, and I don’t know how to set this blind phone to vibrate mode.”
No more clues were found in Ying pupil’s bedroom, Chen Ge took out the skull crushing hammer and slowly opened the bedroom door.
The cold wind blew across his cheeks, Chen Ge shivered, and it was still pitch black outside the bedroom.
”I hope that the world behind this door isn’t too big, otherwise I really might get lost here and not even be able to find my way back.”
It took Chen Ge nearly half an hour just to leave a hut of a few square meters, and he didn’t have any bottom at all in his heart right now.
”Right now in front of me should be the living room of Ying pupil’s house.”
”Ying pupil isn’t in her bedroom, as her brother, Ying Chen shouldn’t be relieved to let Ying pupil run around alone, the odds are that he’ll accompany Ying pupil.”
For Chen Ge, the best outcome right now was that both Ying pupil and Ying Chen were not at home, which would give him plenty of time to find a place to hide.
The layout of Ying Chen’s house appeared in his mind, Chen Ge carefully moved against the wall, he walked slowly, his body adapting.
Darkness symbolized the unknown, danger, and would amplify the fear in one’s heart, Chen Ge tightly gripped the skull crushing hammer and moved his body a little.
His fingers touched another door handle, Chen Ge twisted the handle, and that door was directly opened.
”The room next to Ying pupil is used by Ying Chen to keep his cats, when I let Old Zhou go in to take a look earlier, he also saw two dying stray cats in there.”
The odor in the air worsened, a faint stench drifted across the tip of his nose, and Chen Ge was about to head inside the room when he suddenly felt something brush against his leg.
”Is it a cat? Or a human?” Chen Ge’s body froze, there were other “things” in the room, most likely cats, but the possibility of “people” could not be ruled out.
He focused his attention, but he didn’t hear any strange sounds in his ears, and it seemed like an empty room in front of him.
Continuing to walk forward, his left foot seems to have stepped on something under his shoe, Chen Ge squatted down, his fingertips touched a lot of lumpy “hair”.
”It’s soft, stuck together by something, a little moist, like meat, meat wrapped in hair.”
Pinched twice, Chen Ge’s goosebumps rose, if he could see what he was holding in his hand, it would be fine, the problem was that he couldn’t see anything, it was pitch black in front of him.
”Is the entire floor of the room filled with this kind of stuff?”
Chen Ge let go of his hand, he wanted to enter the room to take a look, but mentally he was somewhat resistant.
After losing one’s sight, one would become vulnerable and paranoid, and the feeling of uneasiness would take root in the bottom of one’s heart, gradually creeping all over one’s body like poisonous grass.
”Ying pupil and Ying Chen might not be at home, this is a wonderful opportunity that can’t be missed.”
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ge still entered that room.
A very uncomfortable feeling came from under his feet, as if he was stepping on a puddle of mud.
A faint smell of blood and stench could be smelled in the air, Chen Ge was worried that if he stayed for a long time, he himself would be covered in such odors, so he was ready to leave after the screening was fruitless.
Walking to the door of the room, Chen Ge did not go out directly.
”If the floor of this room is full of blood and hair, at this time, the soles of my shoes must be stained with blood, and running around in shoes will leave behind bloodstains, wouldn’t this be bidding farewell to where I’ve been.”
Chen Ge rummaged through his backpack and found a pair of shoe covers, which he had casually packed in his backpack when he went to Jiang Ming’s house that night, in order not to leave fingerprints in Jiang Ming’s house, he had specially prepared gloves and shoe covers.
Walking to the door, Chen Ge put on the shoe covers and stepped out of the room.
Walking against the wall, Chen Ge touched the third door handle again, this was the room where Ying Chen shot the video, he originally had little interest in it, but who knew that after pushing the door open, he actually smelled the odor of air freshener and perfume.
”This room doesn’t seem to be the same as I remember.”
Reaching out to touch it, Chen Ge touched a mirror and also a dresser with lipstick and a music box-like object on it.
”It seems like a woman’s room… A woman lived in Ying Chen’s house? Is it Ying Chen’s girlfriend? But I didn’t hear Li Zheng say anything about it?”
The unknown parts began to grow as the memories deviated.
After coming out of the woman’s room, Chen Ge touched the fourth door handle and he pushed the door in.
The furniture arrangement in the room was almost identical to Ying Chen’s room in Chen Ge’s memory; that guy was an extremely self-disciplined person, and everything in the room was neatly arranged.
”A few rooms have been looked at, nothing useful has been found, mainly because I can’t see it, and if I touch it with my hands alone, I’m sure I’ll overlook something important.”
It was also the first time Chen Ge had encountered such a weird door, and his past experience didn’t bring him much help.
”Forget it, let’s just leave, if I meet up with the guy who was parasitized by the Underworld Fetus right now, I guess I’ll be played with alive by him.” Chen Ge’s heart felt uncomfortable when he thought of the room next door that was full of hair and sticky chunks, and he was about to leave when his thigh was suddenly touched by something.
”Who?”
The first time he was rubbed, Chen Ge suspected that it was a cat because the other party rubbed his calf, the thigh position was not easy for a cat to rub, it was more likely to be a person lying on the floor!
The room was excessively quiet, Chen Ge stood in place for a while, without warning he swung his skull crushing hammer towards his back.
The skull crushing hammer did not touch anything, there was only air behind him.
”It didn’t hit?”
Chen Ge didn’t want to continue to stay in this house, he was ready to return the same way, but just as he turned to take a step, he stepped on something and he almost fell to the ground.
”Was there something on the ground just now?”
As his heart began to beat faster, Chen Ge reached out and touched his hand towards the thing he had stepped on.
As his fingertips touched the thing, Chen Ge’s hand directly retracted.
Cold, with a slight elasticity, and the surface was still a bit moist, this feeling was very much like when he touched Mr. Big Body in the underground corpse vault.
Forcing himself to endure the discomfort, Chen Ge reached out again, and he grabbed that thing and moved it a little bit.
”It’s an arm.”
Fear was growing, Chen Ge touched its five fingers and also its shoulder, but not its head.
This headless body was bound under the bed, close to the bedboard, one of its arms was bent inwards, and the other arm seemed to have been touched by something just now, which was why it was sticking out from under the bed, just in time to be accidentally stepped on by Chen Ge.
”A corpse is hidden in brother Ying Chen’s room? Why is there such a scene in the world behind Ying pupil’s door? Could it be that he heard Ying Chen’s murder?”
Chen Ge crawled out from under the bed as a very bad scene came to his mind.
His blind brother lived alone next door, he couldn’t see anything, one day he suddenly heard a strange sound and rushed out of the bedroom to inquire, at this time his own brother was covered in blood, dragging a corpse and carrying a knife standing right next to him, then smiled and told him that he was fine.
Just thinking about such a picture made Chen Ge feel uncomfortable, “It’s better to leave quickly, when Ying Chen comes back, I won’t even have a chance to run.”
Exiting the room, Chen Ge searched for the door to the living room in the darkness.
Before he could find the door, the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang.
”Who’s calling?”
The ringing of the phone distracted Chen Ge, and he was worried that the ringing would attract something bad.
”Should I answer it?”
Different choices could produce different results, one wrong step might directly kill you as a result.
The phone still didn’t hang up after twelve rings, Chen Ge took a deep breath and finally picked up the microphone, he held his breath and didn’t say a word.
”Huh? So you’re already home.” Ying Chen’s voice came from the microphone, “That soccer ball you carried away didn’t litter the ground, did it? I’ve told you many times that the cabinet on the left holds my things, and the cabinet on the right is where your toys are, why can’t you remember?”
