Chapter 1061 – Facing Fear
The situation had reached the worst possible point, but Chen Ge not only didn’t give up hope, he was even encouraging those around him.
Since obtaining the black cell phone until now, he had experienced too many desperate situations, and the suffering and calamities had refined his nerves by the thousand, giving him a mental quality that ordinary people simply could not have.
”Ying pupil, leave this building and walk out that door, you can see the outside world, you no longer need to go and close yourself off.”
Few people would talk to Ying pupil about the outside world, and the place full of color and illuminated by light in Chen Ge’s words made Ying pupil long for it.
The boy slowly perked up, and he began to tell his brother’s story to Ame.
As early as Ying pupil could remember, his mother had forbidden him to play with Ying Chen, and whenever the two brothers were together, one of his parents would surely be watching from the sidelines.
At that time Ying pupil just feel strange, he likes to play with his brother, his brother is a very interesting person, always can think of a lot of novelty games, in the neighborhood especially many friends, everyone likes to be with him, Ying pupil at that time is like Ying Chen’s heel.
The parents saw the two brothers so good relationship, did not feel happy, but very worried.
He had a congenital problem with his eyes, and his vision was not as good as other children’s. When he went out to play, his brother took care of him, and he was very thankful to him.
But one day after they came back from playing hide-and-seek, Ying pupil’s mother was very angry and dragged Ying pupil into the room, while outside the room there were cries from Ying Chen, and it seemed that his father was beating Ying Chen.
Inside the room, Ying pupil couldn’t figure out why, and he begged his mother not to beat his brother.
Her mother didn’t tell Ying pupil why his brother was being beaten, and he later found out through the nanny exactly what happened that day.
At that time, while playing hide-and-seek, Ying Chen pulled Ying pupil to sneak out of the residential building and slipped into a building that hadn’t been built yet, and then Ying Chen made Ying pupil stand on the balcony on the third floor.
That balcony was not equipped with a guardrail, so if Ying pupil had moved around at that time, he probably would have fallen off, but fortunately the workers saw him and stopped him in time.
Ying pupil could not understand why his brother would do that, he felt afraid, always have nightmares, can not sleep, young him remembered his parents once warned him, his mind about his brother’s image is slowly changing.
About a few months later, Ying pupil got up in the morning and suddenly realized that his brother’s room was empty, his parents told him that his brother was sent out for treatment.
The young Ying pupil’s mind’s understanding of the disease was still on a physical level, and he didn’t read much into his parents’ sad expressions.
After another six months, that is, one month before Ying pupil’s parents’ accident, Ying Chen was picked up and returned home.
After treatment, he became more “normal” than a normal person, and seeing him like this, Ying pupil’s father always had some worries in his heart.
A month later, Ying pupil’s parents had a car accident, and Ying Chen and Ying pupil began to be taken care of by relatives.
According to Ying pupil, although the relative was a bit greedy and stingy, he was a very nice person and took care of the two brothers very attentively, which was completely different from the description of the relative by Ying Chen outside the door.
The early death of his parents caused Ying pupil to be much more mature than children of his age, and he understood at the age of five that death represented a permanent departure.
During the time he lived with his relative, Ying pupil gradually discovered another side of his brother.
Ying Chen had a special hobby, he liked to make insect specimens, dismembering insects and then reorganizing them, and he had many similar specimens in his bedroom.
This hobby continued for some time, and suddenly one day, Ying pupil saw a bird specimen in Ying Chen’s bedroom.
In order to perfectly restore a bird’s appearance in life, you need to use a lot of tools, Ying pupil has opened Ying Chen’s drawer, which contains a variety of strange and bizarre things.
He told his relatives about this, but they were after all outsiders and did not interfere with Ying Chen’s hobby.
In the days that followed, Yingchen came home from school later and later, and he was always covered in bands, some scratched by cats and some bruised.
This went on for a long time, and suddenly one day people from the community came to the door, and they suspected that a relative was abusing Yingchen and Ying pupil.
Although Ying pupil tried her best to deny it, but I don’t know what Ying Chen said to the people in the community, those people didn’t believe Ying pupil’s words, instead, they sympathized with Ying pupil very much.
The relative was warned by the community, and that night the relative got into a heated argument with Ying Chen, which resulted in the people from the community coming back the next day.
Ying Chen added a lot of anti-domestic violence group chats, and that’s when he started to run his social accounts; he portrayed himself as a poor kid whose home was overrun by outsiders.
Things got bigger and bigger, and after half a year or so, the relatives were kicked out.
Ying pupil clearly remembered what happened that day, when the relative was leaving, he entered his cell phone number into Ying pupil’s blind cell phone and told Ying pupil something.
When Ying pupil was still a small baby, Ying Chen once sneaked next to Ying pupil’s crib, no one knew what he wanted to do that day, only that he was holding something in his hand.
This incident was told by Ying Chen’s father to Ying Chen’s attending doctor, who later told Ying Chen’s relatives about this incident, as one of the parties involved, Ying pupil was instead the last to know.
Ying pupil also feel scared, from that day onwards he alienated his brother, but his brother still as usual, very enthusiastic to invite him to go out to play together, but he never went out with his brother again.
After his relatives left, Ying Chen became more and more unscrupulous, and all kinds of odors began to appear in the room, but Ying Chen did not do anything to hurt Ying pupil at that time, and even took good care of Ying pupil.
He helped to massage Ying pupil’s eyes every day and then asked Ying pupil how her eyesight was recovering.
In fact, after early treatment, Ying pupil’s eyesight had partially recovered, but he didn’t dare to tell his brother about it, and just kept telling Ying Chen that he couldn’t see anything, just like when he was a child.
Ying pupil was lying, and the scary thing was that Ying Chen probably knew he was lying, but didn’t poke at the lie.
From bugs, to birds, to stray cats, just when Ying pupil thought his brother wouldn’t do anything more outrageous, he found hair covered in blood in his brother’s bag.
Ying Chen came home later and later, and he put new locks on all the several rooms, with the keys in his own hands.
Ying pupil hid in his house, he could always hear the door of the room outside slamming late at night, Ying Chen’s footsteps wandering between the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, and occasionally very scary voices.
This went on for some time, and late one night when Ying Chen went out to take out the garbage, Ying pupil found that Ying Chen’s bedroom door was open, and he entered it, and saw a scene that he would never forget.
There was an arm sticking out from underneath Ying Chen’s bed, and it was a body that had been handled.
What happened later that night, Ying pupil didn’t go into detail, he just told Chen Ge and Ame that from that moment on, he made up his mind to escape.
Ying pupil did not have a house key, usually he was locked in the house by his own brother, until his sixth birthday, Ying Chen said that relatives came over to want to see him, at this time is holding gifts and cakes downstairs waiting for him.
Ying pupil left the house full of hope, but when he got downstairs he didn’t see his relatives, he took out his blind cell phone and dialed the number that his relatives had reserved, and after a few rings, his brother’s voice suddenly appeared on the phone – you look back.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw that his brother was standing not far from him with a cell phone and a pair of scissors.
That kind of fear could not be hidden, especially for a six year old child, and Ying pupil’s change in expression was clearly seen by Ying Chen.
Ying Chen knew that Ying pupil was not completely blind, so he decided to remodel his brother according to his own ideas.
While Ying pupil was talking, Ame in the hut was once again sick, he was crying, clamoring and gasping for breath, as if something sharp was stabbing his eyes again and again at that moment, and someone else was forcing him to have to open his eyes to see.
The door to the room kept vibrating, and Hitomi Ying told Ame the real reason why the other would get a phobia of sharp objects.
The night of his sixth birthday was one of the few memories he least wanted to think about.
”I ran away a total of three times, and Ying Chen warned me in three different ways.” Ying pupil’s voice rang out from beside the couch, “Now that I’m running away for the fourth time, I don’t know what he’ll do to me again.”
”The first time you escaped caused yourself to suffer from Sharpshooter phobia, and the pressurized personality of Ame appeared, there are also Ying and Tong in the building, these three people should correspond to your three escape experiences.” Chen Ge pushed against the sofa, using all his strength in blocking the door, inside the house, Ame had already lost control, he was panting violently, if he dragged it on any longer, his life might be in danger, “Ying pupil, go to the bedroom and look for it, I remember that Ms. Skirt fed Ame the medicine in the bedroom, and there might still be leftover pills on the table.”
Chen Ge spoke for half a day, but Ying pupil didn’t move his feet, he still stood in the same place.
”Ying pupil?”
The screams of Amu inside the room grew louder and louder, the door of the room shook more and more violently, and Ying Chen outside the door seemed to be a bit anxious as well.
Of all the people, only Ying pupil stood very coldly in the living room, he was like a bystander.
Chen Ge wanted to pat Ame’s back to calm him down, but when his hand touched Ame, he realized that Ame’s body was twisting, just like those dolls placed on Ying pupil’s bedside table.
”What’s going on?”
”I remembered something while talking to Ame just now.” Ying pupil’s voice sounded again as he stood right next to Chen Ge, “Do you know what the medicine Ying Chen gave them was made of?”
”Made from what?” Chen Ge didn’t know what Ying pupil was suddenly saying this for, the immediate priority was to save the people.
”With my blood and my flesh.” Ying pupil uttered a somewhat frightening answer, “Ame is my pain, my fear, my uneasiness, he is how I behaved in front of Ying Chen ……”
The vibration of the door panel continued to increase, and Ying Chen seemed to become a bit anxious as he heard Ame’s heartbreaking screams.
”They are me, I am them, and I will embrace their pain because they were originally an inseparable part of me. I have been searching for them inside the building before, only when I find them will I be considered a complete human being, and I will no longer be the freak who was ‘dismembered’ by Ying Chen.”
Ying pupil’s hand supported Chen Ge, then hugged the skinny Ame.
He hugged his past self and listened to the screams he had made in the past, and it went on like that for quite a while, and when the screams disappeared inside the room, both Chen Ge and Ying pupil felt a piercing pain.
The darkness in front of their eyes seemed to be dispersed a bit, and vaguely and indistinctly they seemed to be able to see a tiny bit of light.
Because of his fear of Ying Chen, Ying pupil had to pretend to be blind even if his eyesight was restored, and if he wanted to open his eyes, he first had to overcome his own fear of Ying Chen.
Only by accepting the horrible memories of the past could he have a chance to open his eyes.
Amu disappeared into thin air, and only a mannequin with a twisted body remained beside Chen Ge and Ying pupil, which the two of them touched with their hands.
The mannequin was short, had a pitted face, and had a very ugly face.
Chen Ge put the mannequin into Ying pupil’s bag, he now had some mixed feelings.
Ah Ying was accepted by Ying pupil, a blur of light appeared in Ying pupil’s and Chen Ge’s vision, their eyesight recovered a little bit, but only a little bit.
”It seems that the only way for vision to be restored is to find Ah Ying and Ah Tong.”
The only one in the room who wasn’t blind, Ame, had turned into a mannequin, and with Ying Chen blocking the door, the situation not only didn’t change, but worsened quite a bit.
Chen Ge was holding the skirt lady’s cell phone, he could touch it but his eyes couldn’t see it, in the middle of his vision, a dark world, only a very, very faint light in the distance.
”Amu found Mr. Wood’s phone number through the address book, and the phone should return to the page of the address book after I finish talking to Mr. Wood.” Chen Ge was about to try calling Mr. Wood when the sound of the door panel violently vibrating suddenly disappeared.
The ear-piercing catcalls also slowly became smaller, and Ying Chen seemed to be flying away from the door.
”He left?”
It was impossible for Ying Chen not to hear such a big commotion in the house, he must have known that Ame had been accepted by Ying pupil, and he would definitely go to find the other two children next.
Chen Ge grabbed his backpack with one hand and Ying pupil with the other, he knew the opportunity had come.
”I’m on the first floor, Miss Hong is on the sixth floor, and Mr. Wood lives on the second floor. If Ying Chen runs towards the second floor, I’ll go downstairs to look for Miss Red, if Ying Chen goes to Miss Red, I’ll go to the second floor to look for Mr. Wood, I’ll probably have about ten seconds.”
This room was too dangerous, the security door could be opened at any time, so Chen Ge had to plan ahead as well, “Ying Chen, get ready, no matter what happens, make sure you hold on to me.”
Chen Ge focused his attention as he moved to the doorway and grabbed the door handle.
The cat calls were getting smaller and smaller, but what made Chen Ge feel strange was that the cat calls never went away.
Ying Chen left, but he stopped not far from this door, he was probably hiding somewhere in the hallway right now.
”This guy wants to wait for me to open the door before coming over?”
After a few more minutes, the catcalls completely disappeared, but Chen Ge didn’t dare to go out.
”Ying Chen is constantly pulling away, he seems to have realized something, and now that he’s left, there might still be another person standing outside the door.” Chen Ge held his breath and listened with his ears open, “Suppose the words he said outside the door before were deliberately spoken to me. It looks like his helper went to the second floor, but in reality, it’s possible that his helper turned off the music box and has been standing outside the door.”
