The fading world appeared to be blown away by a gust of wind. Chen Ge looked at his hands that had turned gray. He realized that this world was more troublesome than he had expected.
"My mind is slowing down. I can't let this drag on any longer."
Fang Yu's world was much bigger than Wu Sheng's. Other than the orphanage, most of the buildings looked the same, so it was easy to get lost.
Chen Ge searched for a long time before he found the way out. It was a small path hidden in the gray forest.
There was no scent of flowers, no chirping of birds, and he was surrounded by gray trees and white trunks.
His hands and feet had turned gray. Chen Ge felt like he was moving slower and slower, but that was not really the case. He had no idea why this was happening.
"No matter what, I have to find Fang Yu!"
The trees were thick, and the path was winding. There was no end in sight. Chen Ge could only keep moving forward. He was taking a gamble.
If he stayed in Fang Yu's world, his memory would slowly disappear, so he could not use the same method as he did in Wu Sheng's world. He could not stay at one spot and wait for Xu Yin's group to appear before he made his move.
Here, every second was precious, just like Fang Yu's own life. From the moment she opened her eyes in the morning, when her memory was written, the countdown had already started. She had to find the people in her memory before midnight because she knew that when she woke up the next day, everything would be blank again.
After who knew how long, just as Chen Ge was getting numb, the world before him suddenly opened up.
At the end of the path was a wooden house. It was surrounded by flowers, and there were some toys scattered on the ground.
Pushing open the door, Chen Ge's hands that gripped the backpack tightened. He saw a girl sitting in the middle of the wooden house.
She was wearing a pure white dress and had dark gray hair. She was hugging a small fish tank, and inside the tank, a blood red goldfish was swimming.
It moved its body up and down, but the space inside the fish tank was limited. The world that it could touch was only so big.
"Fang Yu?"
Hearing the sound, the girl in the white dress turned to look at Chen Ge.
She had the same face as Fang Yu, but there was no life in her eyes. She was like a puppet.
"I finally found you. Let's go home."
The woman's body moved slightly, and her mouth opened slightly. No sound came out, but it seemed like she was repeating the word 'home'.
Chen Ge looked at the girl in the pure white coat, and his eyes slowly fell on the fish tank. The only color in this world was the blood-red goldfish.
After entering the house, Chen Ge helped the girl up. She was at his mercy, as if she was just an empty shell without any self-awareness.
"There are still many people at home who miss you. They are always thinking about you."
The girl hugged the fish tank, and her arm was grabbed by Chen Ge. They slowly walked out of the wooden house.
The moment he stepped out of the wooden house, the goldfish in the fish tank wriggled in the water as if it was about to jump out of the fish tank.
"Why do you keep hugging the fish tank? Is that goldfish very important to you? "
"Hmm." It was a simple word, but it was the first voice that Chen Ge heard in the world behind Fang Yu's door.
Realizing that he could communicate with the girl, a smile appeared on Chen Ge's face. "You must be lonely here alone, right? Do you remember that there was once a boy who kept you company and kept talking beside you? "
The girl shook her head. Her eyes looked at the goldfish in the fish tank, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
"He helped you when you were in danger. For you, he gave up his life." Chen Ge held the girl, and he also stared at the goldfish in the fish tank. "Do you know what the end of life means?"
There was no answer, and the girl remained silent.
"The opposite of life is death. After a person dies, they will no longer be able to hear their voice, see their face, or touch their palm." Chen Ge was not chatting with the girl; he was just testing her.
Fang Yu's memory only lasted for one day, but that did not mean that she had forgotten everything. There was one person that she had not forgotten, and that was Zhang Yi.
Chen Ge knew what Zhang Yi represented to Fang Yu. Before entering the world behind Fang Yu's door, he had guessed that the only light behind Fang Yu's door was Zhang Yi.
However, after meeting Fang Yu in person, Chen Ge realized that things were not that simple. The only color in this gray world was a goldfish, a blood-red goldfish.
"In this world, other than me, has anyone spoken to you?" Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked beside the girl. They walked side by side, but neither of them looked at the other. Instead, they were looking somewhere else.
"No," the girl replied after a long time. After a long time, the girl replied with two words. Her face was expressionless, and there was no hope or despair in her gray eyes. There was only dead silence.
"Then, am I your only friend?" Chen Ge spoke very slowly like he needed to think for a long time before he said a word.
"Friend?" The girl stopped walking. Her gray eyes looked at Chen Ge, and Chen Ge's face was reflected in her eyes.
For some reason, the world in her eyes seemed to have become more desolate. "You, are not."
"Fine, looks like I've mistaken you for someone else." Chen Ge placed his hand lightly on the girl's shoulder. "I used to have a friend who was very similar to you. He was very lonely, very lonely, and he was always alone. I have forgotten how we met, but I do know that we used to be inseparable. "
"Pa!"
A crack appeared on the transparent fish tank, but the girl acted like nothing had happened. She hugged the fish tank and slowly walked forward.
"How did a friend who used to be inseparable suddenly turn into a stranger?" Chen Ge looked at the rugged path and called Xu Yin's name in his heart. His employees were forcibly breaking through their restraints, and several Red Specters were preparing to work together to destroy this world behind the door.
"I have forgotten many things. I have forgotten all the pain, forgotten despair, and forgotten the many things that happened with that friend. When I came to, that friend of mine had already left. "
"What was the name of that friend of yours?" The girl's voice was soft, and she kept her head lowered.
"I cannot remember. Perhaps his name is Chen Ge." Chen Ge stopped moving. "He wanted to have the same name as me."
The girl did not stop and continued to walk forward. The cracks on the fish tank increased. The goldfish wriggled anxiously, and the clear water turned murky.
"I also know a person with that name." The girl's voice was slightly different from before. "He has no friends. No one is willing to be his friend, including me."
"Is the child that annoying?"
"No, it's the opposite. He is a very good child." The girl kept her head lowered. The voice did not seem to come from her mouth but from somewhere else in the world behind the door.
"Why would a good child have no friends?" Chen Ge spoke slower and slower. Half of his body had turned gray.
"Because he has a secret on him." The girl slowly raised her lowered head, and her face started to blur. "That is a child who cannot be killed no matter what. No matter what method you use to kill him, he will return. Would you be willing to be friends with such a child?"
