"Look for you? Why would that woman look for you? " Chen Ge also walked to the window. The faceless woman with the red hair clip was consciously approaching them.
"I don't know. I don't know her!" Wu Jinpeng did not look like he was lying. There was only fear in his eyes when he looked at the woman; there was no other emotion.
"Then why are you so afraid of this woman?" Chen Ge asked another question that he did not understand. "Does she want to kill you? What will happen if she catches up to you? "
Hearing Chen Ge's question, Wu Jinpeng used a strange gaze to study Chen Ge. "Isn't being chased by a faceless woman a very scary thing in and of itself? Brother, if she really catches up to me, do you think I'll still be alive to talk to you? "
"I mean, there's no need for us to keep hiding from her. If we don't try to understand her, we'll never be able to defeat her. Sooner or later, she'll catch up to us." Before Chen Ge could convince Wu Jinpeng, the faceless woman had already reached the first floor. Her originally lowered head slowly lifted to look up.
The featureless face was aimed at Wu Jinpeng. The woman seemed to have ignored Chen Ge, who was next to him.
The red hair clip looked like it was about to drip blood, and the woman's ill-fitting maternity dress dragged on the ground.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go! " Wu Jinpeng dragged Chen Ge into the room next door. "When she comes up, we'll jump down from the second floor! Once we disappear from her sight, we'll have some peace. "
This was not the first time that Wu Jinpeng had done something like this. He was very familiar with it, and his body that was much stronger than in real life allowed him to perform many difficult movements. Even jumping down from the second floor would not be a problem.
"Come down now!"
Standing next to the window, Chen Ge hesitated, but in that short moment, the door behind him suddenly started to shake like something was pounding on it.
He had no better idea. He picked up the backpack and jumped out of the window.
His feet landed on the ground and rolled. Before Chen Ge could check whether the things inside the backpack were damaged, Wu Jinpeng's urging came into his ears.
The two climbed up from the ground and ran as fast as they could toward the other side of the street.
"Where are we going now?"
"I don't know. No matter where we go, she will catch up with us. We can only try to stay as far away as possible and wait for her to come before we escape to another place." Wu Jinpeng did not even look back as he ran at full speed. He did not know when he would be able to escape from danger. The whole world seemed to be against him. There were monsters everywhere, and he was being chased by a faceless woman that he could not shake off. Even breathing was a luxury.
Chen Ge looked at Wu Jinpeng, who was running away. His figure overlapped with Wu Jinpeng's in real life.
This man must have had such an experience where he was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Every day, he was flustered, burdened with responsibilities, and chased by life.
Perhaps the Wu Jinpeng in real life had already forgotten about it, but Wu Sheng had remembered everything.
This child was a little precocious. He knew a lot of things, but he couldn't completely understand them.
At the crucial moment when he was building his worldview, he was influenced by the ghost fetus, and some kind of change happened to him.
The worlds behind the children's doors were connected to the real world. Everything in the scenario could be traced back to the corresponding people and events. This should be the unique feature of the worlds behind the nine children's doors.
The connection between the illusory worlds behind the doors and the real world seemed to be a sign that the ghost fetus was slowly walking into the real world from behind the doors.
From how Chen Ge saw it, all nine children's doors had been influenced by the ghost fetus.
Carrying the backpack and following behind Wu Jinpeng, Chen Ge's brain turned quickly. Based on the available evidence, each child corresponded to a door, and this door would only appear after the child fell asleep.
But of the nine children, Chen Ge was an exception. If a door appeared next to his bed when he was asleep, Xiaoxiao and the white cat would definitely react.
There was no door next to his bed after he fell asleep, but that did not rule out Chen Ge from the nine children because there was a real blood door next to him.
Compared to the other children's illusory doors, the door inside Chen Ge's Haunted House's toilet was a real blood door.
"Do I really have to go through that door to take a look?"
Chen Ge thought back to a moment in the past. In that moment, he seemed to have seen three doors.
"One should belong to the ghost fetus, the other probably belongs to the me who kept being killed by the doctor, but who does the last door belong to?
"Isn't the door only opened in the most desperate and painful moment? Was I the one who pushed open the third door? Was I the one who pushed open the door inside the Haunted House's toilet? "
Even with multiple Red Specters, Chen Ge still did not have the courage to enter that door. He still remembered what Doctor Gao had said at the underground morgue.
"To be able to scare Doctor Gao like that, the thing hiding behind the door must be very scary." Chen Ge decided to save the door at his Haunted House for the last night. If the ghost fetus was not hiding inside the other eight children, then that was the only possibility.
He knew that the chance of the ghost fetus hiding behind the door at his Haunted House was very small. After all, the ghost fetus' main activity area was Eastern Jiujiang. The ghosts that had interacted with the ghost fetus said that it treated Western Jiujiang as a forbidden zone. Chen Ge did not think it would take the risk to enter his Haunted House's door under such circumstances.
"There are no clues, no clues." Chen Ge sighed softly. "What kind of emotion did the first person who pushed open the door feel?"
Chasing these thoughts out of his mind, Chen Ge glanced behind him. The faceless woman was still chasing him, but she was not moving fast. She did not look like she wanted to kill Wu Jinpeng with resentment.
With Wu Jinpeng leading the way, Chen Ge ran through the nearby streets, and he became more and more certain that this was the old city.
"Wu Sheng must have lived in the old city before. This is where the thing that he hates to think about the most happened. It was because of that incident that his family moved to Western Jiujiang." The world behind Wu Sheng's door was made up of several streets. It was only one-fifth the size of the old city in real life, and the places to hide were limited.
To hide from the faceless woman, they had to enter the houses on both sides of the street, but entering the houses would attract the monsters inside. They kept hiding, and gradually, the monsters came out of the houses and started to chase them.
"How do we escape?" The fear in Wu Jinpeng's eyes was about to overflow. His large and muscular body started to shake when he was faced with the endless monsters.
"We've almost run through the few streets on the east side. How about we hide on the west side for now?" Chen Ge followed Wu Jinpeng for a few laps, and he realized that no matter how dangerous the situation was, Wu Jinpeng would not run west. He purposely avoided the streets on the west side.
"No!" Wu Jinpeng rejected him directly. His answer was too decisive, and it increased Chen Ge's suspicion.
"No problem, I'll listen to you." Chen Ge could guess why Wu Jinpeng would not forget to go west, and he could understand Wu Jinpeng's concern.
"As long as we can hold on until dawn, everything should be fine. Everyone will return to normal." Wu Jinpeng kept consoling himself. "As long as we survive the night, the sun will rise."
"Yes, the sun will rise eventually." Chen Ge patted Wu Jinpeng's shoulder. "If we can't go west, I suggest we find a way out on the east side."
"Okay." Just as Wu Jinpeng agreed, an urgent barking came from the west side of the street.
Hearing this voice, Wu Jinpeng's expression suddenly changed. He didn't care about anything else and immediately ran towards the west side of the street.
"What's happening?" Chen Ge followed. With his Yin Yang Vision, he could see several shadows appearing on the street. "Don't go there!"
Chen Ge reacted fast enough, but he still failed to stop Wu Jinpeng. He rushed into an alley on the west side of the street.
There was an old storage room at the end of the alley. The wooden door was ajar, and a boy stood helplessly at the door.
He was much thinner than other children his age, and he was wearing clothes that did not fit him. His beautiful eyes kept blinking like he was curious about everything.
Wu Jinpeng sighed in relief when he saw that the boy was fine. He called Chen Ge over, picked up the boy, and ran into the small room.
"Daddy, Big Huang has run out." The boy's voice was very soft. He did not seem to speak much.
"You stay in the room. Daddy will go and find Big Huang." Wu Jinpeng touched the boy's head. There was no trace of fear on the boy. His eyes were calm and gentle, but he was still panting when he spoke.
"Okay." The boy nodded obediently.
When the father and son conversed, the barking came again, and this time, it was very close to them.
Other than the barking, the noise of human voices increased, and various shrill voices crawled into Chen Ge's ears.
"Where did this stray dog come from? What if it bites someone? Is no one going to take care of it? "
"My boy is still young. Who will be responsible if he gets hurt? Who will be responsible? "
"Damn dog, get lost! I'm not feeling good! "
"Beat it! My mom said that all stray dogs are infectious! "
Initially, Chen Ge thought that he was the only one who could hear these voices, but when he turned around, he realized that both Wu Jinpeng and the boy could hear them. Wu Jinpeng had already covered the boy's ears with his hands.
He still had the smile on his face as he hugged the boy lightly in his arms.
"Daddy, they're beating Big Huang. They say Big Huang is a stray dog."
"Don't worry, daddy will go and rescue Big Huang now. You just stay here." Wu Jinpeng grabbed Wu Sheng's hands and had the boy cover his ears. "Close your eyes. When you open them again, Big Huang will be back."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Seeing Wu Sheng close his eyes and his hands over his ears, Wu Jinpeng stood up.
"You're not really planning to go there, are you?" With his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could see clearly that there were more than ten people standing on the street.
"I've promised my son." Wu Jinpeng pushed open the wooden door. "Brother, can you do me a favor later?"
"What is it?"
"I'll go and distract them. After I lure them away, you go and rescue Big Huang."
"Okay."
Wu Jinpeng and Chen Ge ran out of the small house one after another. Wu Jinpeng, who walked in front, did not turn back. Chen Ge, who walked behind, glanced at the small house. The boy still followed his father's instructions. He closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands.
The cursing grew louder, and Big Huang kept screaming. A group of people surrounded the street like they were ready to beat Big Huang to death on the street.
"Don't let it escape!"
"Beat it to death!"
"This stray dog sure runs fast!"
"Where does it think it can run when it's already crippled?"
"It looks for food in the trash every day. Stray dogs are full of viruses! Stop playing around and kill it! "
The voices crawled into Chen Ge's ears. They were so shrill that it felt like they were not voices but knives.
"Stop!"
The twisting shadows moved away. Wu Jinpeng saw Big Huang, who was covered in needles and thread. His eyes reddened instantly. "Big Huang is not a stray dog! It's my dog! It's never hurt anyone, and it's never looked for food in the garbage! "
Hearing Wu Jinpeng's voice, the shadows all turned to look at him. Their cold gazes fell on Wu Jinpeng, but no one cared about what he said. The needle and thread continued to pierce through Big Huang's body.
"I'll take care of it! My son has been playing with it, and he has never been hurt. Big Huang is a good boy. You can return it to me. "
From the voice to the tone, every word was incredibly real. It was like Wu Jinpeng had said something similar in real life and Wu Sheng had memorized it.
"Return it to you? How can a homeless man like you guarantee that this animal will not hurt anyone? You should take care of yourself first. "
"This is hilarious. Isn't a dog raised by a homeless man a stray dog?"
"Yes, I think he would look for food in the trash himself."
Wu Jinpeng's voice became more and more piercing. His body kept trembling, but he still said rationally, "My child's health is not good. That dog is his only playmate. To us, that dog is like family."
"You have a child? Do you take your child to beg for money? "
"No wonder he doesn't want people to say that the dog is a stray dog. If a homeless man's dog is a stray dog, then wouldn't a homeless man's child be a stray child?"
"My child is not a stray child!" Wu Jinpeng's hands were shaking. His eyes were red. He picked up the trash on the ground and tossed it at the group of people. "As long as I am alive, my dog will not be a stray dog, and my child will not be a stray child!"
The twisted shadows stared at Wu Jinpeng. The monsters' mouths were all sewn shut, but for some reason, even though their mouths were sewn shut, the shrill voices did not disappear.
After being attacked, the monsters all took out long needles and black threads from their pockets and rushed at Wu Jinpeng.
According to the plan, Wu Jinpeng lured the monsters away, and then Chen Ge walked out from the other side. He picked up Da Huang from the ground.
Da Huang's body was covered in needles and threads, and blood leaked out from various parts of his body. He had been beaten to death.
This Da Huang had a different coat color from the one in real life. If everything was real, the Da Huang in real life should be the second dog that Wu Jinpeng adopted.
Holding the dead dog in his arms, Chen Ge lifted his head to look at the old hut. The boy inside the hut still had his hands over his ears, but his eyes were open.
He had witnessed everything. The pair of eyes that were curious about everything was currently staring at the dog in Chen Ge's arms.
"The impact of this scene on Wu Sheng is quite big."
Chen Ge did not know what to do. He felt like returning now would be too cruel to the boy. Even behind the door, he did not want Wu Sheng to experience that kind of despair again.
"A child who doesn't even know what death is has to witness death like this?"
Chen Ge placed Da Huang's body inside his backpack and carried the backpack back to the hut.
"Where's Da Huang?" The boy lifted his head to look at Chen Ge.
"It's sleepy, so it's asleep."
Several minutes later, footsteps came from the alley. Wu Jinpeng pushed open the wooden door. "I'll lure them all to the eastern street."
"I'll go with you. You won't be able to handle this alone."
"Thank you." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge gratefully. He was about to leave when the boy suddenly grabbed the corner of his shirt.
"Why are they chasing you?" The boy looked at Wu Jinpeng.
"Daddy is playing hide and seek with them. Do you want to join us?" Wu Jinpeng touched the boy's head.
"Yes."
"Then hide inside this wooden box. Don't run around, and don't make any noise. Do you understand?"
"Yes." The boy jumped into the box and sat obediently in the corner.
Wu Jinpeng touched the boy's head. "Little brat, don't get caught. You have to hold on until daddy arrives."
