Chapter 1087 – White Rice, Chopsticks, Paper Man, Red Candle
”Help me.”
”I’m here, behind you.”
”Take me away, help me ……”
The cries were interspersed with a woman’s voice, which Chen Ge vaguely felt was somewhat familiar: “It seems to have been heard in Liwan Town.”
Chen Ge also just had an impression, he would never turn back at this time, what the black fog was he hadn’t even figured out, the best way to face the unknown was to first hide in a safe place and observe it, not to go deeper into it and take a risk with his life.
The sound behind him was getting closer and closer, Chen Ge accelerated his pace, but the faster he ran, the more urgently the sound chased him.
When he was about to enter the iron door, the woman’s voice changed, and all her words all changed to screams, as if they were sharp arrows piercing through the black fog and stabbing at his body.
”Dodge!”
Chen Ge couldn’t care about anything and ran wildly with all his might, and the moment he entered the building, that terrifying voice disappeared.
He looked back and everything returned to normal in the black mist, the voice just now seemed to be just his own hallucination.
”Wen Qing, did you hear a woman’s voice inside the building?”
”Nope.” Wen Qing shook her head, “I only saw you disappear into the black fog, vaguely, as if there was something tiptoeing behind you. I reminded you out loud, but you didn’t react at all.”
”This black fog seems to be even more dangerous than the city shrouded in blood; that city would drive people crazy with despair, and this sea of black can make people completely lost.” Looking at the shadows floating in the black fog, Chen Ge covered his heart, he didn’t know why he felt as if he had experienced that scene just now.
”Letting people get lost? Is Xiang Nuan just lost in this fog?” Wen Qing’s eyes were filled with worry.
”As long as he hasn’t left this neighborhood, we still have a chance to find him.” Chen Ge closed the door leading to the rooftop as he stuffed the headless clay figure into his coat pocket, “Time to leave.”
Back on the first floor, Chen Ge had just walked up to the door of moncler outlet online Huang’s house when that security door opened.
The severely hunchbacked Grandpa Huang stood in the doorway, and it seemed that he had been standing behind the door for a long time, having waited for Chen Ge.
”You knew I would come over?”
Without speaking, Grandpa Huang turned toward the house, and as he passed the dining table, he picked up the kitchen knife that was set on it.
Bone-thin as a bone, he lifted the kitchen knife and slashed hard at the wall next to the bedroom.
The blade cut into the wall, blood seeped out, and a wound appeared on the wall and the old man’s body at the same time.
As he hacked and slashed, the wall skin was hacked to pieces, and he also became scarred.
His skin and bones hands no longer had the strength to swing the chopper, and Old Man Huang collapsed to the ground.
”What’s going on here!” Xiao Sun put down Jia Fu and rushed over, but Grandpa Huang seemed to be on the verge of dying.
”Keeping secrets for others and enduring inner torment, that wall was like it was made out of his flesh and blood.” Chen Ge carried his bag and entered the house, “Now that the murderer is dead, there is no need for Grandpa Huang to keep secrets.”
Walking to the side of the bedroom, Chen Ge stopped for several seconds before continuing forward.
There were two bedrooms in the house, one of which was inhabited, while the other bedroom’s door was bricked shut with blood and flesh, with corpses piled up inside.
”That house started out with just the landlord’s family living there, and the landlord didn’t want to be separated from his family, and would occasionally come over to check on them, but I didn’t expect the ‘people’ the landlord brought over to be more and more numerous.” Huang moncler outlet store dying, with the last of his strength, said, “Maybe I shouldn’t have agreed to keep his secret from the beginning.”
The scene in the bedroom was like hell, this is where all the evils of Building A in the Jinhua neighborhood began, and it was also the first secret in the building.
Pushing the dumbfounded Xiao Sun out of the way, Chen Ge entered the bedroom and squeezed into the “crowd”.
”You subconsciously thought that the landlord was a good person, but have you ever thought about this possibility? What if his family didn’t die in an accident?”
Chen Ge found the corpses of the landlord’s family members, but unfortunately, he couldn’t tell much from them, and these corpses weren’t the source of that foul odor.
”The odor that has been bothering me for so long, what exactly is it emanating from?” Chen Ge stood alone in the “crowd”, and his actions frightened everyone around him.
Focusing his attention, Chen Ge closed his eyes as he used the gifted spiritual smell he had obtained from his black cell phone to follow his senses around the bedroom, slowly finding the place in the house where the stench was the strongest.
Opening his eyes, Chen Ge saw a rag doll’s arm.
The doll’s arm was full of blood and filth, and the stuffing inside the arm was not the normal stuffing on the market, but all sorts of garbage and bird carcasses.
”What is this?”
Chen Ge had just wanted to pick up the rag doll’s broken arm when an extremely dangerous feeling emerged from his mind, and then as if it was an earthquake, the entire building shook slightly.
”The rag doll’s broken arm is the source of all the stench?” Before Chen Ge could figure it out, he heard the sound of “knock, knock, knock” as the large iron door in the hallway was knocked on from outside.
Chen Ge stood up without touching that arm again, and the knocking and tremors outside the building disappeared instantly.
”It can affect the entire neighborhood, and when I was about to pick it up just now, there was a feeling in my head that something was about to wake up. This shouldn’t be something from Xiang Nuan, it’s most likely from the Underworld Fetus.”
Nothing like this appeared behind several other doors, so Chen Ge had to be a little more cautious.
”Back in Liwan Town, the shadow was separating Boo’s body like this amongst several buildings, using Boo to complete his plot. Everything is too similar, this rag doll’s severed hand might be the same as Boo’s at that time, and the Underworld Fetus split it up in different buildings as a cornerstone to stabilize this neighborhood.”
Chen Ge memorized the location of the severed hand, and he decided to leave right away to take a look at the other buildings.
Walking out of the “crowd”, Chen Ge’s body was also stained with the stench, and it was estimated that the stench would not dissipate until he left this door.
”Just now, someone knocked on the door outside the building, could they have discovered something unusual inside the building?”
”Just go out and take a look.” Chen Ge carried his backpack and looked at Xiao Sun, “Are you prepared to leave with me to find the truth? Or do you want to stay in the building and wait to be approached by the neighbors in the other buildings?”
”I feel like you didn’t give me a choice in your words, huh?” Xiao Sun helped Grandpa Huang onto the bed, “I’ll leave with you, but someone has to stay and take care of them, right?”
”Granny Li will stay.” Chen Ge placed Granny Li’s bowl next to Grandpa Huang: “Granny, I’m counting on you here, if we can find our way out alive, we’ll definitely come back for you.”
He gestured for a long time before Granny Li did not continue to follow him.
”This granny isn’t crazy?” Xiao Sun muttered quietly from the side.
”She’s only pretending to be crazy to stay alive within the building, what’s so surprising about that? There are definitely more people pretending to be crazy in reality than behind doors.” Chen Ge arrived at the entrance of the building, he found the key to unlock the door, “This section between the two buildings will be very dangerous, you guys must follow me closely, grab my shoulder and don’t let go.”
The key was inserted into the lock hole, and with a crunch, the iron lock on the door was opened.
”Keep up!”
Chen Ge took out the skull crushing hammer from his backpack and without much hesitation, he plunged headlong into the middle of the black fog, while Xiao Sun and Wen Qing stood close behind him.
With his five senses that were far beyond normal people’s limits, Chen Ge had already roughly determined his target through the window before opening the door, and the closest building to Building A of the Jinhua District was a small six-story building.
This building was right in the middle of the two tall buildings A and B of the Jinhua neighborhood, a very peculiar location.
The neighborhood behind the door was different from reality, the number of buildings had not changed, but the building exteriors and locations had all changed.
The several buildings of the Jiu Hong neighborhood were attached next to the two buildings of the Jin Hua neighborhood, twisting and tilting towards each other, like several giant corpses in peculiar poses.
Just a few meters out of the building, Chen Ge saw a human-shaped shadow appear not far away, and the other party did not seem to have discovered them yet.
”I think I heard someone calling my name?” Xiao Sun whispered.
”Shut up if you don’t want to die.” Chen Ge didn’t look back, grasping the handle of the Skull Crushing Hammer as his footsteps became faster and faster.
The entrance to the building behind him was slowly obscured by the black fog, the building in front of him became hazy at this moment, and it was as if the world was completely shrouded by the black fog, and nothing could be seen.
Two different forces came from his shoulders, Chen Ge could feel it, Wen Qing and Xiao Sun were very nervous and scared at this moment, they took Chen Ge as their only hope.
The short distance of a dozen meters between the two buildings, but Chen Ge and the others felt like they had walked for a long time.
”Almost there!”
Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils, and he could vaguely see the outline of the building, and the building in front of him was much shabbier than Building A of Jinhua Subdivision.
”This is the residential building of Jiu Hong Subdivision, even in reality, it’s a more chaotic place than Jin Hua Subdivision.”
Probably because Wen Qing and Xiao Sun shared the pressure, Chen Ge wasn’t affected by the monsters in the black mist this time, and it was only after he entered the building that he realized something was wrong.
”Are you two okay?”
Chen Ge’s shoulder was scratched by Wen Qing, that woman’s face was pale and her eyes were empty, as if she had just seen something very scary, she couldn’t even say complete words at this time.
Little Sun’s situation was even worse, he had five more wounds on his back, it was as if a hand had grabbed him from behind, while he himself didn’t feel a thing.
Blood kept flowing out, Xiao Sun’s clothes were dyed red, those five wounds were shallow, but they couldn’t be healed in any way.
”When I turned back just now, I saw a person following behind me, he was obviously very close to me, but I couldn’t see his face, as if he didn’t exist, but was just black mist gathered into it.” Xiao Sun had come into close contact with the monster in the black mist, and his words had provided Chen Ge with some clues.
”Do you have any strange feeling in your back?”
”It just hurts, drilling pain.”
”Bear with it.” Chen Ge didn’t have a better solution, so he looked at Wen Qing again, “Are you feeling better? Did you also see something scary just now?”
”I saw the top of our heads ……” The fear in Wen Qing’s eyes was almost overflowing, “Floating all over the heads, they were tearing through a large shadow, a few of them found us, and they were still looking at us in the black mist ……”
”Heads? Can you be more specific?”
”I can’t say exactly, it’s just that the sight of them creates a feeling of disgust and fear in my heart, and if it weren’t for my grip on your shoulder, I probably wouldn’t even have the courage to take a step.” Wen Qing’s face looked terrible.
”You both saw something in the black mist, but I didn’t see anything, my five senses are obviously much sharper than you two.” Chen Ge stayed in mind, “Forget about this for now, the entrance of the building’s hallway is not installed with an iron door, the situation inside the building may be different from Building A of Jinhua District, you guys must not run around.”
”Looking at the building’s exterior wall and the hallway, this should be one of the buildings in the Jiu Hong neighborhood.” Wen Qing held onto the wall as she looked up and searched at the entrance of the building, finally reaching something a moment later, “Chen Ge, look at what’s written on that sign.”
”Building No. 1 of Jiu Hong Subdivision?”
”That sign is the number of the residential building, nailed up many years ago.” Wen Qing was an agent, and knew these two neighborhoods in reality very well.
”Let’s go in first and take a look, hopefully this is different from the building I rented and there aren’t so many strange neighbors.” Xiao Sun felt that after all he had been through, he was now invulnerable to a hundred “poisons” and nothing could scare him too much anymore.
”I wish there were still people like that living in this building, in the world behind the door, those guys are already considered the best bullies.” Chen Ge walked ahead with the skull crushing hammer, he had just entered the building and smelled a faint stench, the odor was similar to the stench emanating from the severed hand, “There should be a part of the ragdoll’s body hidden in this building as well, what does that ragdoll mean to the Underworld Fetus anyway? Could it be that the Stygian Fetus once rested on that doll’s body?”
There were no lights or sounds in Building 1 of the Nine Hong District, it was like a dead building.
Walking inside along the building, just after taking a few steps, Chen Ge stopped again.
There were four rooms on each floor of the building in the Jiu Hong neighborhood, and Chen Ge saw a bowl full of white rice placed at the door of all four rooms, with two chopsticks inserted vertically in the bowl.
However, this wasn’t the weirdest thing, Chen Ge cautiously approached, and he realized that the chopsticks inserted on the white rice were exactly the same as the chopsticks in Xiang Nuan’s house.
”Could it be that a bowl of rice represents a family, and a pair of chopsticks represents a dead person?” Chen Ge looked at the four neat bowls of white rice in the hallway, and his mind recalled the densely packed chopsticks under the bed in Xiang Nuan’s house; that child had once covered his bedroom with chopsticks, and chopsticks were also his favorite toy.
”Hey, do you feel that this bowl is similar to the one Granny Li is holding?” Xiao Sun’s back was injured, and it took him a lot of effort to squat next to Chen Ge.
”It is a bit similar.” Chen Ge thought more comprehensively than Xiao Sun, and he recalled the video he had seen at the landlord’s house on the tenth floor, in which Granny Li’s fifty-something year old son had slammed all of Granny Li’s effigies and tributes on Granny Li, and then choked Granny Li’s neck.
”What is this scene illustrating? Why do I have a not-so-good feeling right now?” Chen Ge avoided the bowl on the floor and pressed his body against the doorway.
