The boy was fast asleep in bed. He did not even notice the appearance of the door.
"Compared to last time, this door seems to be closer to the boy. Look closer. Something behind the door is trying to escape, "Meng Nan said softly.
"Could it be the ghost fetus?" This scene was similar to when the door at the School of the Afterlife appeared, but it was just a similarity.
The door that appeared next to the boy's bed was not real. It felt surreal, like it would shatter with a touch.
There were light blood vessels flowing on the door, but it did not give off any uncomfortable presence. This was what confused Chen Ge the most.
He had seen many blood doors, including the door at the School of the Afterlife. Once the door changed, the surroundings would become eerie, and the air would be filled with the stench of blood, but this door was an exception.
He did not feel any threat. Its appearance was more like a reminder to the boy.
"There are too few blood vessels on this door, right?"
Chen Ge carried the backpack and slowly approached the door. He only took a few steps when the door's lock suddenly vibrated.
The sound was not loud, and the boy did not wake up. When Chen Ge took a step back, the door returned to normal.
"I can't get close?"
Chen Ge put down the backpack and signaled to Meng Nan before walking toward the door alone. This time, the door did not react.
"It's really because of a Red Specter?"
Standing before the door, Chen Ge made a very brave move. He reached his hand toward the door.
The door itself was like a spirit. Chen Ge's finger passed through the door.
"I can't touch it? This is the first time I've seen a door like this. "
He was not sure whether all the children chosen by the ghost fetus would have a door appear next to their bed after they fell asleep. In any case, he had not heard Fang Yu mention this before, so Jiang Ming might be an exception.
If that was the case, then Chen Ge had to be even more careful because the ghost fetus might be hiding inside Jiang Ming's body.
His finger moved on the door, but he could not touch the door. Just as he was about to give up, a bone-chilling sensation came from his fingertip.
At this moment, Chen Ge's fingers stopped at the doorknob.
"Most of the blood vessels gather around the doorknob. Is that why the doorknob is solid?"
The phone spirit's trick could only be used once, so Chen Ge did not want to miss this opportunity. However, he did not dare open the blood door alone.
Although there were very few blood vessels on it, he was not so arrogant that he would dare to enter the world behind the door alone.
"Do you want to take a gamble? The black phone said that if I can't find the ghost fetus in nine nights, I will definitely die. In other words, the ghost fetus is not ready yet. Perhaps this is the moment when he is at his weakest. "
The opportunity was right in front of him. Chen Ge was unwilling to let it go. He slowly retreated.
"Meng Nan, give me the bag. You stay outside and guard the door."
"Are you going to go in just like that? Isn't this too arbitrary? Are you sure you won't reconsider? "
"When a Red Specter approaches, the door will vibrate, and the sound will wake the child up. Once the child wakes up, the door will disappear, so I only have one chance." Chen Ge glanced at the child in bed. "He is deaf, but he can hear the sound of the blood door. The thing that the child lost might be hidden inside the door."
Taking out the recorder, Chen Ge hugged it in his arms. Then he took out the broken ballpoint pen and placed it in his pocket.
After learning from his previous experience, he did not dare put everything inside his backpack anymore.
After he was ready, Chen Ge took a deep breath, stared at the door, and rushed at full speed toward it.
The blood door sensed the threat, and the lock shook violently. The eyelashes of the child in bed flickered. Just as he was about to open his eyes, Chen Ge pushed the door open and entered.
Inside the dark bedroom, the boy sat up in bed. He looked around and stammered the word 'dad' repeatedly.
…
A horrible stench crawled into his nostrils. Chen Ge carried his backpack and looked around. This was a very old shared apartment.
There were seven to eight rooms on each floor, and everyone shared the same bathroom and kitchen.
The corridor was filled with all kinds of trash, and the ground was covered in stinking dirty water. Occasionally, one could see some rotten vegetable leaves.
"Where is this?" Chen Ge turned back to look. Behind him was a large rusted iron door with peeling paint. There was a large lock on it, and there was no way to escape. "Was this the door that I pushed open earlier?"
Chen Ge took out the ballpoint pen to do some experiments. He realized that he could communicate with his employees, and he calmed down instantly.
"The scenario behind the door was created based on the door-pusher's memory. The scenario that I'm in should be the place that the boy has the deepest memory of."
The place was dirty, messy, and smelly. The place that Jiang Ming could not forget and the place that he was currently living in were polar opposites.
"It is probably because this is the place that Jiang Ming's parents agreed to let Jiang Jiu take the boy away. But when it comes to money, the boy's father even wrote threatening letters and sent bills to blackmail him. This kind of behavior is quite disgusting."
Jiang Ming's biological parents did not seem to treat Jiang Ming as their own child; they merely saw him as a tool to earn money. They had no idea what their child was going through.
"The scenario behind this door is an apartment building. For Jiang Ming, the most unforgettable thing should be here." Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked forward. He did not walk for long before he saw a wooden sign hanging on the door of the family that was at the corner. The sign said, 'If there's a problem, please pull on the rope next to you repeatedly.'
"Does the boy live here? If he has a hearing problem, knocking on the door is indeed useless. " Chen Ge pulled on the rope, and the lights in the room came on. He pulled several times, but no one came to open the door for him.
"The boy cannot hear, but his parents should be fine." Chen Ge looked at the light that came on inside the room, and he raised his hand to knock on the door.
His fingers touched the steel door lightly. Chen Ge did not use much force, but the sound that came from it was very loud. Caught off guard, it gave him quite a fright.
"Why is this happening?" Chen Ge quickly stopped. He slowly noticed the uniqueness of this scenario.
Silence. There was no sound, only dead silence.
"Is Jiang Ming's world like this?"
Those who were born deaf and mute should not have the concept of sound. But those who lost their sense of hearing would have sound in their memory. Their mind was not quiet, but there was an impenetrable membrane between reality and their memory.
It was a very thin membrane, so thin that the two worlds on both sides were exactly the same, but it was impossible for one's own voice to pass through.
After the knocking stopped, the scene behind the door became slightly different from before. The stench in the air thickened, and it was mixed with the smell of alcohol.
Without any warning, a man's face suddenly appeared at the second-floor staircase. He was like a pile of boneless mud. His arms were connected to the bottle, and the glass had grown directly into his flesh. He used this deformed arm to support himself as he walked toward Chen Ge.
