Chapter 1062 – Escape Monday!
There might be people standing outside the house, and Chen Ge felt that opening the door like this was very unsecure, but he didn’t have a better way right now.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity not to be missed.
”Yingchen didn’t go far, there’s probably a trap outside the door, someone is waiting for me to open the door and drill in.”
Cat calls could warn Ying Chen, but there was nothing that could be done about that helper of Ying Chen’s, Chen Ge himself knew this all too well, he had been pushed down the stairs by that kid before, and that kid hadn’t made a sound during the entire process, and hadn’t bared his fangs until the very end.
”Now there are two scenarios, the first scenario is that Ying Chen and his helper are guarding the entrance of Mr. Wood’s and Miss Red’s house respectively; the second scenario is that Ying Chen is hiding somewhere in the hallway, his helper didn’t go away, and is standing right in front of the doorway, and all of those words just now were purposely said by Ying Chen for me to hear.”
Chen Ge thought about these two scenarios over and over again, for an ordinary person’s, the best option right now was to stay at Ms. Skirt’s house, although the psychopathic murderer had the key to this room, as long as he blocked the door to his own room, there shouldn’t be too many problems.
But doing so was equivalent to losing the initiative completely, Ying Chen could make full use of this time to do all sorts of things.
Chen Ge’s own physical strength was limited, and it was already not easy for him to struggle on before, so the probability of accidents would increase if he wore himself out further.
What made him even more uneasy was Mr. Wood and Miss Red, after all, Ying Chen, this bastard was inhuman and could do anything.
As long as one of the three went wrong, it would become very difficult for Ying Chen to open his eyes again.
”Perhaps I can utilize the trap that Ying Chen set for me and use it to transform my current passive situation.” An idea arose in his heart, but for this idea to be implemented, he had to make sure that there was someone outside his door first.
Chen Ge dragged the sofa back, he deliberately made a loud noise but actually only moved a few centimeters away.
Gripping the door handle, Chen Ge removed the mop that was angled against the door lock a little bit.
He slowly pressed down on the door handle, and the lock was already open.
The surrounding area was frighteningly quiet, no sound could be heard, and there didn’t seem to be a single person in the corridor outside.
”Am I overthinking this?” Chen Ge held his breath as he slowly pulled the door of the room, just as he was about to open the door, a huge force suddenly hit the security door!
”Someone!”
The door panel touched the sofa behind it, and a cold hand reached in through the doorway, its dry fingers grabbing Chen Ge’s wrist!
Chen Ge also reacted in an instant, desperately trying to close the door.
The sofa didn’t completely move away, and at this time, the door panel hit the sofa and cushioned it, which saved Chen Ge’s life.
The door panel couldn’t be pushed completely open, Chen Ge used both hands to close the door, but the other person grabbed his wrist, and the hand of the person outside the door was stuck at the door gap, so he couldn’t close the door at all.
The gap in the security door is getting bigger and bigger, Chen Ge can’t see the scene in front of him, he is so anxious that he can’t care too much at this time, he directly lowers his head and bites into the hand that grabs his wrist!
People in a high degree of tension when the bite force is extremely amazing, the door came from a child’s scream, the person ate the pain to let go of the hand, Chen Ge immediately crashed into the security door, hard to close the door at this time.
He picked up the mop on the floor that was on top of the door and placed it diagonally underneath the door handle, then re-pushed the sofa to the door.
Panting heavily, Chen Ge’s back was already drenched in cold sweat as he pushed his body against the sofa, and right at this moment, the cell phone of the skirt lady in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Chen Ge’s finger continuously tapped different positions on the cell phone screen, and a few moments later the call was answered.
”Hello?”
”It’s me, Ying Chen is outside my door.”
Mr. Wood’s voice came from the other side of the phone, his tone was gloomy and his voice was pressed extra low.
”You unlock the door to your room and stay away from the door, make sure that Ying Chen can’t hear what we’re talking about.” Chen Ge adjusted his breathing, this was all within his expectations, Ying Chen knew that Ying pupil had accepted Ame, he would definitely go to Mr. Wood and Miss Red.
”I’m in the study, far away from the living room door, he can’t hear me.”
”Did Yingchen say anything to you?”
”No. He was standing at my door the whole time, and if you hadn’t just given me a heads up, I wouldn’t have known there was an extra person outside the door.” Mr. Wooden’s heart palpitated.
”He probably wanted to wait for you to open the door and then just rush in, that crazy person can do anything.” Chen Ge kept backing away and hid on the other side of the sofa, he pressed his voice down to the lowest level to make sure what he said wouldn’t be heard by the man outside the door, “There’s something I want to ask you for.”
”Go ahead.”
Chen Ge took a deep breath, he wanted to gamble with Ying Chen for once, “Ying Chen is guarding your door, his helpers are outside the door of my room here, so call Ms. Hong right now and tell her to take Ying out of that room right away, and think of a way to hide Ying in the janitorial closet on the third floor without alerting anyone.”
”In the cleaning cabinet? Are you crazy?”
”Listen, Ying pupil will only have a chance to open his eyes after accepting Ying, Tong, and Ame, and we have to give Ying pupil access to those three children. If we all hide in the room, Ying pupil and his helpers only need to guard two doors and we’ll never win.” Chen Ge was very calm.
”This is crazy.”
”Tong has a phobia of confinement, so this person hiding in the janitorial closet can only be Ying!” Chen Ge’s tone did have a hint of madness mixed in, which he himself didn’t realize, “Ying Chen blocked your doorway, your house is on the second floor, and his helper blocked my doorway, I’m on the first floor. Regardless of how the building circulates, Ms. Hong is far enough away from them that she has plenty of time to do this.”
”But what’s the point of doing this?”
”Ying Chen designed a trap for me, and in setting it up he revealed a break, this is our only chance.” Chen Ge’s voice came out from between his teeth, although he couldn’t see, he had determined the location of Ying Chen and Ying Chen’s helpers through the trap that Ying Chen had designed for him.
Mr. Wood pondered for a while and seemed to understand what Chen Ge wanted to do, “Alright, I’ll call Miss Hong now.”
The cell phone hung up, and there was only a busy tone in his ears.
About ten minutes later, the cell phone in Chen Ge’s palm vibrated again, “Hello?”
”Miss Red has already hidden Ying into the cleaning cabinet on the third floor, thank goodness there was no accident.” Mr. Wood’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
”Is Ying Chen still outside your room?”
”En, he even knocked on the door just now, but I didn’t answer him.”
”Good, the next step is the most crucial one.” Chen Ge tried his best to calm himself down, “You should have the phone number of Auntie Wu, the housekeeper, right? Tell her to find a way to lean towards me, and when she comes over, I’ll take Ying pupil out of the room to look for you.”
”Find me? But Ying Chen is right outside my door.”
”If Ying Chen’s helpers are stalled, if he learns that Ying Chen and I have left the room the odds are that he will come over to look for us.” Chen Ge’s voice was a bit frightening, “Miss Hong lives on the sixth floor, we are on the first floor, going down from here is very close to her, Ying Chen might also subconsciously think that we are going to Miss Hong’s house. Of course that’s not important, what’s important is that you have to take Ying away from the cleaning cabinet on the third floor and pick up Ying back to your own home when Ying Chen goes after us.”
Mr. Wood understood Chen Ge’s plan, a desperate attempt to break the ice.
If everything went well, Chen Ge would only have to take Ying pupil into Mr. Wood’s home, and Ying pupil would be able to accept both Ying and Tong.
Facing the three fears head on, Ying pupil could definitely open her eyes again.
Chen Ge no longer wanted to experience what it was like to be blind, the pitch black world was capable of driving people crazy, especially in such a dangerous situation where the slightest mistake could lead to falling into the hands of a perverted devil.
After the explanation, Chen Ge hung up the phone, he grabbed Ying Xie’s hand, “Ying Xie, this is the first floor, later we’ll run towards the downstairs and go to the second floor where Mr. Wood is located, you must remember the number of floors in between, even if you’re the only one left, you have to go to Mr. Wood alone, understand?”
”Understood.” Ying pupil heard the meaning of Chen Ge’s words, if she encountered a situation that she really couldn’t circumvent, Chen Ge would go and attract Ying Chen’s attention, just like Ms. Skirt, using her life to buy time for Ying pupil.
Of course Chen Ge was not a noble person, the only hope of breaking the situation was in Ying pupil, Chen Ge was saving himself by helping Ying pupil.
Calmness returned to the room, Chen Ge checked all the props on his body, he couldn’t see with both eyes, he could only stroke the comic book with his hands, his fingertips were pulled by some kind of power, and the employees seemed to be calling out his name.
The security door soon shook violently again, Ying Chen’s helpers tried to open the door to the room by brute force, Chen Ge pushed against the sofa as hard as he could, his stamina was draining, there were no employees to rely on behind this door, his stamina was depleting very fast, what was even more frightening was that he didn’t even have the chance to catch his breath now.
After a full half hour again, the voice of an unfamiliar middle-aged woman suddenly sounded in the corridor.
”Ma Gui? What are you doing here without going home? The person who sneakily followed me just now was you, right? You’re the naughtiest out of all the kids in the whole building!”
The person who came was Auntie Wu, the cleaning lady, and the moment Chen Ge heard this voice, he grabbed Ying Xie’s hand and arrived at the door of the room, quietly pushing away the sofa that was blocking the door.
”I didn’t follow you.” A child’s voice came from outside the door, just by listening to the voice he was a child about the same age as Ying pupil, but his strength was much greater than an adult.
”Lying again, I saw you and you still say you didn’t.” Aunt Wu’s footsteps stopped at the door of the room, “Ma Gui, have you seen Ying pupil? Did that child play with you?”
Aunt Wu’s voice had a hint of anxiety in it, she had previously asked Ying pupil to hide in the cleaning cabinet, and then she might have gone back to take a look, only to find that Ying pupil had disappeared.
Chen Ge had anticipated all of this, which was why he had asked Mr. Wood to contact Aunt Wu, he had asked Mr. Wood to tell Aunt Wu the truth and then sought Aunt Wu’s help.
”No.”
”Really no? You’re usually the one who bullies Ying pupil the most.”
”You’ve all been tricked by Ying pupil! I didn’t bully him at all, if you don’t believe me, go ask Ying Chen!” That kid tried his best to argue, but Chen Ge in the room vaguely understood why the kid’s strength was so strong in the world behind Ying pupil’s door.
Ying pupil had always been bullied by that boy, and to Ying pupil, that boy was the second existence that was hard to resist.
Aunt Wu and the boy were arguing, and Chen Ge was still looking for an opportunity, but he suddenly heard the extremely faint sound of a cat purring in his ears.
”Ying Chen is starting to head this way!”
There was only one chance, and Chen Ge didn’t want to miss it, so he removed the mop from the top door and carried Ying Chen on his back.
He violently pulled open the security door as the cat’s cry sounded once again!
”Auntie Wu! This kid wants to kill Ying Hitomi! Stop him!”
Chen Ge had memorized all the paths he had taken once since he entered this door, and he had a map of the entire building in his mind, so even if his eyes were almost completely blind, he was still clear about the approximate path.
As he shouted out the words, the cat’s cries became noticeably more urgent, and Chen Ge rushed straight into the building.
Unable to see the path, even though he remembered the height of the steps and his leg muscles were accustomed to that height, he still fell once in the process of descending the stairs.
His whole body was in excruciating pain, but neither he nor Ying Xie made a sound, this kind of pain was nothing to them.
Catcalls sounded overhead, Chen Ge had just run to the middle of the seventh and sixth floors when Ying Chen had already entered the building, he came too fast and barely hesitated.
Ying Chen’s speed exceeded Chen Ge’s expectations, in addition Chen Ge had underestimated how difficult it would be for the blind to descend the stairs.
If they continued like this, they would be caught before they could even reach it.
”Remember what I said!”
Chen Ge rushed to the sixth floor, then put down Ying Hitomi and directly took out the skull crushing hammer from his backpack as he stood at the corner of the sixth floor corridor and hallway.
Ying pupil was a very intelligent child, and the fact that he was able to survive the kind of torture that Ying Chen had endured could mean a lot in itself.
This kid immediately pressed himself against the wall when Chen Ge put him down and walked silently towards the stairs following the method Chen Ge had taught him.
Both hands gripped the skull crushing hammer, Chen Ge gritted his teeth, the catcalls in his ears were slowly approaching, from normal yowls to ear-piercing and heart-wrenching shrill screams, Ying Chen was getting closer and closer to him!
There were no footsteps or breathing sounds, Chen Ge’s mind was now filled with the cat’s agonizing yelps, and when all the yelps reached their peak, he slammed his raised skull-crushing hammer as hard as he could into the entrance of the building at his side.
”Boom!”
The skull-crushing hammer apparently hit something, and something heavy fell to the ground.
”Smashed?”
Chen Ge didn’t bother probing as he dragged the skull crushing hammer and twisted his head to run.
The cat’s cry paused for a moment, then followed closely behind him, and at the same time Chen Ge heard Ying Chen’s voice.
”You don’t seem to be an occupant of the building.”
Ying Chen’s voice was permeated with a chill and anger, this psychopathic murderer was deeply irritated at the first sight of Chen Ge.
Hearing Ying Chen’s voice behind him, Chen Ge ran even faster.
He pinched a sweat in his heart, hoping that Ying pupil would be able to accept Ying and Tong before he met Ying Chen’s venomous hand.
