Clothes and shoes one size bigger, dirty face, clear eyes full of surprise, the child hid behind the old man's clothes, revealing half of his face.
"Can you hear my voice?" Chen Ge put down his backpack and gently stretched out his hands to the child: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
The child hiding behind the clothes in the closet looked at Chen Ge timidly. He looked at Chen Ge's hand, hesitated for a long time, and slowly extended his hand.
The cold little hand was placed in Chen Ge's palm, and the long-lost warmth made the boy's eyes slowly widen.
"Have you stayed here all the time?" Chen Ge pointed to his feet. He wanted to ask the little boy if he had been staying behind the door, but the little boy misunderstood what he meant, waved his hands, and gestured desperately.
After watching for a long time, Chen Ge realized that this child was playing games with his friends, everyone was playing hide and seek, and he was hiding here to avoid others.
Looking at the little boy who was struggling to express himself, Chen Ge shook his head gently, those children were not ready to find him at all, he was just the target of teasing.
He hid in the closet seriously, and finally opened the door to find that it was not the children, but the owner of the house calling him to eat.
"Have you ever thought about making more friends? Have you ever thought about opening the window to see the outside world?" Chen Ge found the key figure in the world behind the door - Jiang Ming, but he couldn't make out this Jiang Ming and the outside world. What is the relationship between Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming inside the door may be Jiang Ming's hearing loss outside the door, but the probability is not high.
Judging from the existing clues, the door will only appear when Jiang Ming outside the door is asleep, so Jiang Ming inside the door is likely to be Jiang Ming's own consciousness.
"In this imaginary world, all actions and characters are related to reality. With the idea of playing with friends, Jiang Ming hid in the room where he felt the warmest. This should be his best memory."
Chen Ge wanted to say something, but Jiang Ming's eyes suddenly changed, from surprise to panic, and tears came out almost instantly.
"He's looking behind me!"
The smell of alcohol poured into his nostrils, Chen Ge didn't say a word, kicked his legs on the ground, and hugged the little boy to the side.
The wine bottle smashed on the closet, and the glass shards flew, but there was no sound.
Thick blood vessels bulged on his face, and the drunken monster ran over at some point. He should have heard Chen Ge's voice.
"This guy is really haunted. The most troublesome thing is that he can't kill him." Chen Ge held the Skull Smasher in one hand and the little boy in the other. The boy was terrified, like a bruised body Like kittens, their bodies were constantly shaking with fright.
"The fear of the drunk father is rooted in my heart, and it is this fear that keeps increasing the strength of the drunk, making him stronger and stronger." Chen Ge had a plan in his mind: "If I can help the boy overcome his fear, use Actual action tells him that the drunk father is not invincible and things should get better."
It's easy to say, but it's too difficult to change the memories that are rooted in my heart.
"Jiang Ming, don't be afraid, uncle is here, no one can hurt you." Chen Ge put the child on the chair, holding the skull crusher in both hands: "With his strengthening speed, I can still hammer him ten times. Second-rate."
When he was ready, Chen Ge was about to start when the door of the rental house was suddenly opened, and a white-haired old lady was walking in the house with a bowl of noodles.
The old man hunched his back, at least seventy years old.
The expression on her face was very kind, but when she saw the drunk man, she changed her face instantly, put down the bowl full of noodles, grabbed the crutches beside the bed, and swung it towards the drunk man.
The originally terrifying drunkard panicked when he saw the old lady, and even dared to feel in a hurry.
After being smashed by the skull crusher, the drunkard didn't feel any pain, but after being hit by the old man's crutch a few times, he couldn't take it anymore and fled the hut in a hurry.
The old man chased away with a cane and then came back.
She closed the door of the rental house angrily, then walked into the bedroom, came to the child, and gently rubbed Jiang Ming's head.
The old man asked Jiang Ming to eat at the table, where the noodles she had just made were steaming hot and looked very appetizing.
Jiang Ming ran over to eat, and the old man looked at Chen Ge. The surprise in her eyes was no less than Jiang Ming's.
"Grandma, can you hear my voice too?"
The old man nodded.
"You still retain your senses? Can we communicate with each other? It's okay not to talk!" Chen Ge took out a ballpoint pen covered with tape from his pocket, and took out a comic book from his backpack, complete with paper and pen.
Looking at Chen Ge, the old man said a few words, but Chen Ge couldn't hear the sound at all.
She pushed aside the ballpoint pen in Singer Chen, turned and walked towards the living room.
Staring at the back of the old man, Chen Ge suddenly realized that the old lady was different from the others in the scene behind the door.
Her body is illusory, and it seems that it may dissipate at any time. More importantly, Chen Ge felt a coldness from her.
Using double pupils, Chen Ge found that the old lady didn't seem to be distorted from Jiang Ming's memory, but a residual thought that would soon dissipate!
Without sustenance, obsession can only exist for a limited time, even behind the door.
Although the memory of the old man and Jiang Ming overlapped, this only prolonged her existence.
One day, she will still dissipate. At that time, the old lady in the world behind the door will be completely shaped according to Jiang Ming's memory, that person may still protect Jiang Ming in the world behind the door and make him hot noodles, but after all, he is no longer the person before. .
Chen Ge became more and more curious about the truth. He walked up to the old man. At this time, the old man was taking out a pen and paper from the drawer, and she drew on the paper.
Every time she wrote a word, her body became illusory. After the old man finished writing, he handed the paper to Chen Ge. There were only four words on it—be careful of snails.
"snails?"
Chen Ge has entered the back door many times, and he can be considered to know the world behind the door very well. The most terrifying thing in this place is the red-clothed, and the most terrifying than the red-clothed is the fierce god, but the old lady told him to be careful of snails.
"Is the snail scarier than the drunk who can't be killed?" Chen Ge asked in a low voice, and the old lady nodded.
"I see, so how do we get out?"
Hearing Chen Ge's voice, the old lady first made a silent gesture, and then clicked the word snail on the paper.
"The key to getting out is the snail? Is this snail the nickname of some Specter? Or does it refer to something?"
Chen Ge was still thinking. Jiang Ming at the table had already finished his noodles. He was preparing to go out with his rice bowl in his hands. He seemed to want to wash the dishes, but was stopped by the old man.
The old lady rubbed Jiang Ming's head lovingly, wiped Jiang Ming's mouth with her apron, then stood in front of Jiang Ming and pointed to Chen Ge.
Jiang Ming immediately understood what the old lady meant, he took Chen Ge's hand and happily prepared to run out the door.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Ge knew that the old man had no malicious intentions. Judging from the old man's actions just now, it should be that she told Jiang Ming to take Chen Ge to accomplish a certain thing.
Jiang Ming heard Chen Ge's voice, with an innocent smile on his face, as if he wanted to share his secret with others, he quietly put his hand into his pocket.
After a while, Jiang Ming took out a snail's shell from his pocket.
He held the snail shell carefully, as if it were the most precious treasure to him.
