As soon as he entered the forest, Xu Yin appeared without a sound before he walked far.
Chen Ge did not call his name, but he had appeared on his own. This meant that he had sensed something dangerous, and the person was able to kill Chen Ge before he appeared.
There was nothing out of place, but the few Red Specters behaved strangely like danger was lurking around them.
The leaves ruffled by the wind, and the rain slid down the leaves. Chen Ge walked for a long time in the forest. He had even lost the concept of time.
The deeper he went into the forest, the lower the temperature became, and the surroundings became quiet.
Xu Yin walked at the front. Fresh blood mixed with the rain. He pushed aside the dried branches, and a rugged path appeared before him.
Wilted flowers grew on both sides of the path, and at the end of the path, there was a gray little house.
"When I was young, I brought the doll that I made with me here. You did not kill me but heavily injured the doll. I have always been a fair person. Today, I will not kill you. I will beat you until you are on the brink of death before sucking you into the comic. "
In the rainy night, the few Red Specters followed beside Chen Ge, and the group moved forward silently.
"This place does not appear to be easily discovered. If not for Xu Yin leading the way, I would not have been able to enter this place so easily."
Approaching the little house, the blurry image in Chen Ge's memory matched up with reality. The things that he had almost forgotten resurfaced in his mind, and they had never been so clear before.
"Be careful."
He had almost been killed here, so Chen Ge was very careful. He felt like he was getting closer to the truth.
The fence of the small yard had been pushed down, and it was covered in moss. There were many empty flower pots in the yard.
These flower pots were quite interesting. All of them were the same size, and they were just big enough to fit an adult's head.
Other than the flower pots, there were some entertainment facilities in the yard. There was a broken wooden horse, a rusted seesaw, and a swing with a broken string.
"Looks like no one has been here for a long time."
It was good that it was abandoned; it meant that no more children had been killed.
Walking through the muddy path, Chen Ge pushed open the door to the gray little house.
A faint stench wafted out of the house. Chen Ge's nose twitched. He stood at the door and did not go in.
"I've smelled this stench in Li Wan City before. It's very unique, and I can't describe it. It's not as strong as the stench of a dead body, but there's a chill to it that makes one's lungs tremble after inhaling it."
Using Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge looked into the house.
Most of the furniture in the house had been destroyed, and the floor was littered with debris and children's torn clothes.
"This house shouldn't have been like this in the beginning."
Chen Ge looked at the mess on the ground, but another scene appeared in his mind.
The same room was filled with the laughter of children. The walls were covered with light blue and pink wallpaper. The table was not high, but it was filled with toys and good food.
"Has the ghost that lived here left?"
Chen Ge was about to walk into the house when his cell phone suddenly vibrated. The caller ID showed an unknown number.
"I have both Inspector Lee and Captain Yan's number, so it shouldn't be the police. Who would call me at this time?"
Pressing the answer button, a boy's clear voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Chen Ge, when are you coming to take me home …"
"Fan Yu?" Chen Ge did not know how to react.
"Mr. Chen, it's me. We just met earlier." A familiar voice came from the other side of the phone. It was the worker from the Children's Home. "Fan Yu, I need to talk to you first."
"Did you find anything on your end?" Chen Ge had left his phone number with the Children's Home. He was not surprised that they could contact him, but the fact that Fan Yu, who did not like to talk, had voluntarily called his name surprised him, and at the same time, he was a little happy.
"A big discovery. The files and treatments from before Jiujiang's Children's Home were all locked inside the storeroom. We focused on the files related to Fang Yu, and we discovered that one of the children in her class is missing."
"One of the children's information is missing?"
"Yes, it's like they've been completely erased. You might not believe this, but the number of patients is always one less. In the group photo, there is a boy's face that is blurred out, just like the picture you showed me!" The worker from the children's home gave Chen Ge a very important hint. "I've just called the seniors who worked at the orphanage at the time. Everyone has an impression of the talkative boy and knows about his existence, but no one can remember what he looks like."
"Did everyone forget what he looked like?"
"Not only his appearance, but his name, age, and so on."
"Other than that, did you find any other clues?"
"I heard from one of the seniors that the boy was very talkative when he was young, but after he grew up, he slowly became normal. Everyone thought that he had recovered, but that was not the case." The worker revealed another secret. "His illness worsened, but as he grew up, he understood that people did not like him that way, so he suppressed his true nature. The senior saw with her own eyes that the boy would run to a deserted corner and mumble to himself. He even formed the habit of keeping a diary. She once sneaked a peek at it. The diary was filled with words, and many of the sentences were illogical. She had no idea what the boy was trying to express. "
"Can we still find the diary?"
"It should be very difficult. I'll call again. Talk to you later."
The worker hung up. Chen Ge stood at the door and looked at the room that was completely different from the one in his memory. "No one can remember his name and face. Why would something like this happen?"
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about him, but Fang Yu, who had the worst memory, remembered him and kept looking for him.
After entering the house, the stench became even stronger.
The first floor was a place for children to play. Chen Ge did not find anything there. With Xu Yin's accompaniment, he headed up to the second floor.
When they reached the wooden staircase, Chen Ge covered his nose and mouth. The unique and intense stench came from the second floor.
"Let's go up and take a look."
The wooden staircase had been built for many years. Stepping on it creaked noisily like it could collapse at any moment.
As they moved up the stairs, Chen Ge noticed that words started to appear on the wooden staircase. They looked like they were carved out by bloody fingernails.
"Fang Yu?"
The words on the staircase became denser. When Chen Ge reached the second floor, his eyes widened, and he was stunned.
The floor, the walls, and the ceiling of the second floor of the hut were carved with Fang Yu's name.
At that moment, not far away from Chen Ge, a man was lying on the ground, using his bloody fingers to press on the ground.
He was focused. He knelt on the ground, and there was an altar on his back.
The altar looked similar to the ones at the futuristic theme park, but the head of the statuette inside the altar had not fallen off, and it did not have Chen Ge's name written on it. Instead, it had the name Fang Yu.
