Chen Ge wanted to remind the middle-aged man, but it was too late, the cat meowing gradually became louder, and he hurriedly hid in the corridor next to him.
The elevator stopped on this floor, no footsteps, no breathing.
After a while, there was a knock on the door in the corridor.
The sound seemed to sound out of thin air, without any warning.
"The middle-aged man is likely to tell me about me." The knock on the door was loud, but no one opened the door. Chen Ge was standing on the steps of the corridor at this time, and even if he lost his vision, he was still very calm. In this case, he did not run away, but chose to stay.
The respondent doesn't know his information yet, and the situation is more favorable to him for the time being.
After a long time of continuous knocking, the security door finally opened, and the voice of a middle-aged man came from the corridor.
"Yes minister? What are you doing here with me? Are you urging me to pay the property fee?" There was a hint of impatience in the middle-aged man's words, but he didn't take Chen Ge's previous warning to heart.
"My brother Ying Tong secretly ran out of the house to play, and I haven't come home yet. I heard someone walking around here when I went upstairs just now, so I wanted to come over and ask, have you seen my brother?" Ying Chen His voice sounded very young, and his image in the world behind the door seemed smaller than in reality.
The world behind the door is woven from the memory of the person who pushed the door. From this, it can be concluded that Ying Chen, a relatively young voice, has the deepest memory of Ying Tong.
In other words, Ying Chen may have done something to Ying Tong a long time ago, and that event became the deepest shadow in Ying Tong's heart, and he always remembered his brother's original voice.
"If you're blind, pay more attention. You didn't close the door yourself, but instead you came to ask someone else when something happened?" The middle-aged man has a very bad personality, which can be seen from his previous attitude towards Chen Ge.
"I'm really sorry, these are some jujube cakes sent by my relatives in my hometown, and I hope you can accept them. If you see my brother, I hope you can tell me that he has bad eyes. I'm really too afraid that something will happen to him. ."
"Jujube cake? The color is so red? Is there any coloring?"
"It's pure natural, and the taste is very delicate. You can taste it. If you think it's delicious, I have some at home." The courtier was very enthusiastic. .
"It tastes really good. It's totally different from the one I bought on the street. Okay, if I see your brother, I will notify you as soon as possible." The middle-aged man was chewing something, and he closed it while he was eating. security door.
"The middle-aged man didn't reveal my existence, but the problem is that the respondent didn't enter his house either. The respondent should be standing at his door now."
The sound of the elevator door opening came from the corridor, and Chen Ge was about to leave, but at this moment he heard a cat meowing again, and the meow came from the middle of the corridor.
"The respondent didn't get on the elevator!"
Clinging to the wall, Chen Ge immediately walked downstairs. He didn't dare to make a sound. He was blind and couldn't walk very fast.
He is completely unable to judge the position of the courtier now, only that the cat meowing keeps sounding, and the pervert is walking towards the corridor.
"Hello!" The security door in the corridor opened again, and a middle-aged man's voice came from the door: "Why are there so many letters in this bag of jujube cakes?"
"That was written to me by a relative. I'm sorry, I forgot to take it out." The minister's voice sounded right above Chen Ge's head. He had already entered the corridor, but he was on the fourth floor, and Chen Ge had just walked to the third floor. building.
Chen Ge was frightened into a cold sweat, he held his breath and stood in place.
"Trust me and take it. If you see my brother, remember to tell me."
The cat meowing stopped, and when the respondent's voice sounded again, he had already left the corridor and walked to the middle-aged man.
"Okay." After the middle-aged man said this, he said again not long after: "Why are you always looking at my house? Do you suspect that your brother is in my house?"
"That's not true, I just..."
The sound in the corridor suddenly disappeared, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"The answerer has attacked the middle-aged man?" Chen Ge gritted his teeth, the other party acted directly without saying a word, and his behavior was extremely decisive. Such an enemy is very scary.
"I want to leave this building quickly. It's best to stay away until I recover my eyesight." Chen Ge didn't know the ability of the respondent, and he didn't know what the world was like. Light was perceived through hearing, smell and touch. The world is very incomplete.
Not daring to stay in place, Chen Ge accelerated and walked downstairs.
"The middle-aged man should be doomed. It would be more perfect if the respondent could mistake him for me, but with the respondent's IQ, he would definitely suspect that I have to prepare for the worst."
Holding the wall, Chen Ge walked all the way down, and he silently calculated the floor in his heart.
"Assuming the Yingchen family lives on the seventh floor, I should be on the first floor by now."
There will be a corner between the two floors, it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake, but when Chen Ge took a step towards the next floor, he was not on the flat ground, but a staircase!
"Does Yingchen's house have a basement?" Chen Ge recalled carefully and came to a very bad conclusion. He clearly remembered that the building where Yingchen's house was located had no basement.
"The world behind this door doesn't exactly correspond to reality! It's too bad!"
Originally invisible, Chen Ge has not been discovered by the respondent until now. In addition to relying on the meowing of cats, another important reason is that he has been here before and has a basic topographic map in his mind.
By comparing the map in his mind, he would not be completely lost.
But now he found that the map in his mind was different from the world behind the door, and the horror of the unknown was instantly magnified.
"Should I keep going down, or knock on the door for help from the residents in the building? In reality, there is obviously no basement, but this corridor continues to extend downward. I don't know where it will lead in the end?"
It should have reached the first floor, but the steps were not completed. Without a basement, Chen Ge didn't know what went wrong.
"Could it be that there are seven floors above ground and seven floors underground? It's like a door inside and outside a door? Everyone on the seven floors above ground is normal, but the seventh floor underground is completely bloody and ghosts?"
Standing in the corridor, Chen Ge took a few more steps down. He didn't feel uncomfortable, and he didn't feel any difference, and the surrounding environment didn't seem to have changed.
"It shouldn't be the seven floors above the ground and the seven floors underground. Is it possible that this is an infinite loop and an endless corridor?"
"The bottom floor of the building is connected to the top floor of the building, and the top floor of the building is connected to the bottom floor of the building. For blind people, repeating the action of going downstairs in the dark will produce a very special sense of despair, as if There is no end to everything, I am just struggling in vain."
Most people don't have this kind of experience, but Chen Ge is different. Not long ago, he did a nightmare-level mission in Jiangyuan Community. He happened to blindfold and experience the feeling of a blind person going upstairs.
Darkness, loneliness, and the unknown, everything will ferment in the bottom of my heart, giving birth to a devil representing fear, and finally devouring himself.
"I can't continue to go down. The world behind this door is different from the real terrain. I have to be more cautious."
Chen Ge returned to what he thought was the "first floor", touched the wall, and moved in the corridor. He ran all over this floor and found a very desperate thing.
"There is no exit, you can't get out here."
Despair grew in his heart, and Chen Ge found that he still underestimated the difficulty of the world behind the door.
"Am I experiencing what Ying Tong has experienced now? The community clearly has an exit, but for him, this building is completely closed. This building is his entire world, and he can't escape at all."
Biting the tip of his tongue lightly, Chen Ge used the pain to calm himself down.
"It seems that the hope of breaking the game lies in Ying Tong. He is the doorman in this world and should know how to 'open his eyes'. I must find Ying Tong before the minister finds me!"
Without any clues, without any help, in a closed building, a blind man had to find another blind man while being chased by a pervert murderer. Chen Ge had never encountered such a difficult task before.
"From now on, I have to remember every step I take, every position, every direction I face."
Reality is different from the world behind the door and cannot be compared, so Chen Ge wants to draw a new map in his mind.
It is very difficult to do this, but in order to increase his chances of survival, Chen Ge can only do this.
You can't see, so you have to remember all the paths you've traveled.
As long as he is familiar with the terrain, he can run, and even set traps to kill the ministers.
Blindly avoiding is never Chen Ge's style. He wants to use everything around him to solve the danger once and for all.
Although he has lost his sight, if the minister only treats him as an ordinary blind man, playing with the attitude of cat and mouse, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
"The middle-aged man I met just now has something similar to a corpse spot. His body temperature is very low, and he is definitely not a living person. From this perspective, will all the residents in this building be dead?"
"The deaths of some of them are estimated to be related to the ministers, and some of the deaths may be related to the unborn child."
"In their eyes, the minister is a good person. Now I will find a way to change the image of the minister in their eyes. It is best to win their trust and help."
The cat's meow didn't sound, and the courtier was far away from here. Chen Ge walked to the corner of the "first floor" and tapped lightly on the door near the corridor.
In the dark and quiet world, the monotonous knocking on the door kept repeating, and Chen Ge himself felt horrified, as if someone was watching in the darkness.
"no one there?"
Chen Ge switched to the next house, knocked for a long time and still no one opened the door, and there was not even a sound in the house.
After knocking on five doors in a row, none of them opened, and Chen Ge gradually became impatient.
"The minister may continue to walk in the corridor after disposing of the body, looking for Ying Tong. If he hears a knock on the door, he will definitely come over to check. Now is my best chance."
The action accelerated, Chen Ge knocked all the way to the seventh door, and an iron door on the other side of the corridor was suddenly opened.
"Are you looking for someone? Keep knocking on the door?" A woman's voice came from behind Chen Ge, startling him.
After adjusting his state, Chen Ge turned around: "Yes, I'm looking for a child, his name is Ying Tong."
"Ying Tong?"
"It's the kid who lives on the seventh floor, he's blind..."
"I know him, the question is why are you looking for him? Isn't this the seventh floor?" The woman was talking to Chen Ge when a child's painful scream suddenly came from the room behind her. This scream echoed in Chen Ge's memory. Ying Tong's voice is somewhat similar.
He wasn't sure whether the child in the woman's room was Ying Tong, because he only heard Ying Tong say a word outside the door.
The footsteps sounded, the woman walked towards her house, and Chen Ge followed her.
The woman seemed to be in a hurry. She didn't close the door after entering the room, and Chen Ge stumbled and followed the door frame.
"Why does it smell like this again?"
The woman's room was the same as the middle-aged man's room, and there was a stench of all kinds of things mixed together, which was very pungent.
The cries and screams of the children kept coming from the back room. Chen Ge was worried that the noise would be too loud and would attract the ministers, so he touched the security door and closed it.
"Why are you sick again? Wasn't it okay just now? What did you see?" The woman's voice was anxious, and she started to look for something in the room.
Although Chen Ge felt that the child's voice was a bit similar to Ying Tong, he heard the woman say something - what did you see
Ying Tong is blind, but the children in the woman's house are not blind.
"Stay here and don't move, I'll find medicine for you!"
Footsteps sounded in the house, walking towards the door, Chen Ge wanted to make way, but he didn't expect that he would hit the woman directly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." In the darkness, Chen Ge wanted to help the woman, and grabbed the woman's arm in a panic.
The woman's arms are thin and unnaturally twisted.
Chen Ge's hand was quickly thrown away by the woman. She seemed a little angry, and her tone of voice changed: "I'll talk about your affairs later, I'm going upstairs to borrow some medicine."
The security door was opened, the woman walked out, and then the security door was closed again.
"medicine?"
The children's cries and screams gradually diminished, and the house gradually became quiet.
"This woman's body is deformed, just like the twisted dolls in Ying Tong's bedroom, and her body temperature is also very low..."
Ten minutes later, the security door was opened again, and the woman with twisted arms entered the house.
Chen Ge heard the sound of pouring water and swallowing. After the child's crying stopped completely, he moved towards the house: "Can I ask what disease your child has? Don't think too much about it, I'm actually a doctor."
"Ordinary doctors can't cure his disease." The woman came out of the back room and walked to Chen Ge: "Have you heard of sharp weapon phobia?"
"Is it a type of phobia?"
"Almost, this child will fall ill whenever he sees sharp objects. He is anxious, desperate, crying, and noisy. He always imagines the scene where someone is holding that object and stabs him in the eye."
