The wrong football? The closet? " The information revealed by Ying Chen's words caused Chen Ge to frown. He had been to Ying Chen's bedroom before, and he knew that Ying Chen had tied a headless body under his bed.
"Could the football that this man is referring to be the head of the dead body?"
There was a big difference between a human head and a football. Even a blind man would not have picked up the wrong one, but that was under the premise that his big brother was a normal person.
Ying Chen was a madman, and a madman with a desire to show off. He had edited the cat abuse videos in reverse and posted them on the website of love cats. Most of the people who watched his videos were cat lovers.
Perhaps every night, he would sit inside the house that was covered in blood and hair, staring at the screen of his phone, reading the congratulatory messages from the cat lovers.
This kind of unique experience probably gave him a different kind of pleasure, so it was entirely possible that he would hide the human head inside the ball and watch Ying Tong play at home.
With that in mind, Chen Ge suddenly realized that the twisted mannequins on Ying Tong's study table probably had a deeper meaning.
Chen Ge did not speak. The two of them only paused for a few seconds before Ying Chen on the other end of the phone noticed that something was wrong.
"You … are not Ying Tong!"
Chen Ge had no idea how the man could discover that he was not Ying Tong in less than three seconds, but this kind of observation and judgment made him even more anxious.
In Ying Tong's memory, his big brother Ying Chen had to be a very smart and scary person, and this kind of impression was reflected in the world behind the door.
"Why are you at my home?"
Ying Chen's voice did not change, but through the phone, Chen Ge could hear that his walking speed had increased.
The man was trying to use words to calm Chen Ge down, but in reality, he was rushing home.
Chen Ge did not hesitate and hung up the phone.
He could not get any useful information from the man anymore. Even if the man did reveal something, it might be a trap.
"I need to leave immediately."
Both of them were very decisive people. Chen Ge could still remember the location of the living room door. He did not stay any longer. Carrying his backpack, he rushed to the living room door.
The cold anti-theft door was not closed tight. Chen Ge pushed it open and walked out.
The temperature dropped again, and it felt even colder outside the house.
"I can't see, and I don't have the help of my employees. How am I supposed to fight that monster in this situation?"
Ying Tong's door was the third last door. Since Chen Ge had directly skipped over the door that represented Nie Xin's ghost fetus' heart, the difficulty of the world behind the door had reached a very crazy level. From that, one could see how scary a four-star Trial Mission like the ghost fetus was.
The layers of fear gradually deepened, and this unbearable night had just begun.
"Ying Tong lives in an old house from many years ago. He grew up here, so his main memory should be centered around Ming Yuan Apartments."
Chen Ge knew the layout of the building, but if he wanted to play hide-and-seek with a pervert in the dark, even he felt the pressure.
Stepping out of the room, Chen Ge had only taken a few steps when something brushed against his ankle. It was as if a cat had followed him out of the room.
"Just how many cats does Ying Chen have at home?" Chen Ge leaned against the wall and slowly walked down the corridor. "There is a staircase on the left and right of the building, and the elevator is in the middle. Of course, that is if this place is the same as real life."
Chen Ge did not know much about Ying Tong. He did not know what Ying Tong was most afraid of, so he could not come up with a specific plan. All he could do was take one step at a time.
"The old elevator will make a loud noise once it is activated, and that will indirectly expose my location. Now that I can't see anything, if I press the wrong button, Ying Chen might be standing outside the elevator when the door opens."
Without giving it much thought, Chen Ge ruled out the idea of taking the elevator. Then, he was faced with the second choice.
Which of the two staircases on the left and right?
Ying Chen's home was closer to the staircase on the left, and it was at the top of the stairs. Chen Ge believed that if Ying Chen wanted to get home in the shortest time possible, there was a high chance that he would take the stairs on the left.
"Then, I will take the stairs on the right."
In this world behind the door, any choice could be a matter of life and death.
If Chen Ge made the wrong choice and he ran into Ying Chen in the staircase, the madman might follow him silently and try his best to kill him. After all, Chen Ge had found out about his secret.
Touching the wall, Chen Ge slowly overcame his fear of the dark. He started to jog.
The staircase was empty. When Chen Ge was about to reach the top of the stairs on the right, he suddenly heard the meow of a cat coming from before him.
It was a very soft meow, and the sound came from the staircase on the right.
"There is a cat there?"
If this was in real life, Chen Ge would not have been so nervous when he ran into a cat, but this was the world behind the door.
The cat itself was a complicated contradiction. It had many symbols, and in different people's eyes, cats had different meanings. Therefore, Chen Ge had a hard time coming to a conclusion.
Ying Chen had taken in a large number of stray cats, but the reason he adopted them was to satisfy his own twisted interests. If the cats had enough power to resist, they would have been the first to kill Ying Chen.
Unfortunately, be it in real life or the world behind the door, Ying Chen was alive and well. In other words, even in the world behind the door, he had the power to kill the 'cats' easily.
When Chen Ge was thinking, another meow came from the right staircase. This time, it was much louder than the previous one.
Something seemed to brush against his ankle. Before Chen Ge could react, the third meow came, and this time, the sound came from beside him.
The interval between the meows became shorter and shorter, and the sound became shriller and shriller. It sounded like a baby crying.
"Are they trying to warn me?"
Ying Chen was a cat abuser, so the cats would not help him. If that was the case, the chance of Ying Chen being in the staircase on the right was very high!
To trust the cats or to trust his own judgment, Chen Ge was faced with another life and death decision.
After a short pause, Chen Ge gritted his teeth and turned around. He raced down the stairs on the left.
The meowing of the cats behind him became shriller and shriller. It sounded like crying and laughter at the same time. It was very scary.
Stumbling, after losing his sight, Chen Ge could not even get used to basic running.
He tried his best to get to the left staircase and hid on the stairs between the two floors.
Squatting on the stairs, Chen Ge gripped the handrail and lowered his center of gravity to the minimum. That way, even if someone pushed him from behind, he would not fall.
Chen Ge did not dare move. He stayed there because he wanted to verify something very important.
"If the door is pushed open later, it means that Ying Chen has returned home. He went up the stairs from the right staircase, and that will prove that the cats are helping me! The louder the cats' meowing, the closer Ying Chen is to me! "
Chen Ge was very courageous. To maintain the small advantage that he had, he hid in the left staircase.
After all, Ying Chen's house was at the left staircase. If he was not careful, he would be discovered.
As time moved on, sweat started to appear on Chen Ge's palms. He had not been so nervous for a long time.
About one minute later, the door to Ying Chen's house creaked without warning. It sounded like someone had opened the front door and walked in.
Hearing the door creak, Chen Ge's tightened fists slowly loosened. "Ying Chen has probably returned home."
He silently retreated down the stairs. Even though Chen Ge had made the right bet and confirmed the suspicion in his heart, his brows were tightly furrowed together.
From this simple encounter, he had gained a few pieces of information.
First, and this was the most important, he could use the cats' meowing to determine Ying Chen's location.
Second, Ying Chen did not make any sound when he walked. Chen Ge had used Ghost Ear earlier, but he did not hear any footsteps. He only heard the sound of the door opening, and it was as if Ying Chen had suddenly appeared at the door.
Third, Ying Chen could have returned home the fastest by going up the stairs on the left, but he had done the exact opposite. He had chosen the staircase on the right.
If this was not an accident, then it could only mean that Ying Chen was very cunning. He was trying to predict Chen Ge's choice.
"How am I supposed to find Ying Tong after losing my sight?" It was not a safe place to stay for long. After Ying Chen returned home, he would definitely discover that someone had entered his house and discovered his dead body. He would definitely give chase.
Touching the railing, Chen Ge slowly moved down the stairs.
He planned to temporarily leave this building. If possible, he even wanted to leave this residential area.
Chen Ge memorized the route that he had taken. A normal person would have been panicking by now, but Chen Ge was still actively looking for a way out.
He walked down three floors, and Chen Ge heard the front door of Ying Chen's house open again. Ying Chen appeared to have come out from inside the house.
"This is not looking good."
He had to prevent himself from tripping, and he had to make as little noise as possible. He could not move fast down the stairs.
If Ying Chen chased after him now, there was a high chance that he would be captured.
"The man did not make any sound when he walked. After he returned home, he probably took a knife and other tools with him."
Not long after that, the old-fashioned elevator made a sound. It sounded like someone was taking the elevator and rushing down the stairs.
"Ying Chen probably thought that I had chosen the left staircase from the start. He probably thought that I had already left this building, so he took the elevator to catch up to me as soon as possible." Chen Ge could not see anything behind the door, but Ying Chen did not know that. He was using a normal person's logic to predict Chen Ge's movement.
"I cannot let Ying Chen know that I cannot see, or else he will definitely mistake me for Ying Tong. At that time, that madman who is filled with evil interests will be able to do anything."
Chen Ge had encountered many crazed murderers in his life. Ying Chen was not the most cunning or the most dangerous, but he was the one who had the most desire to show off.
The key was that Chen Ge was currently in the world behind the door. In this world that was woven from Ying Tong's memory, his brother Ying Chen represented a fear that he could not shake off or resist.
The noise from the old-fashioned elevator soon stopped. It appeared to have stopped at the first floor.
"I cannot confirm Ying Chen's exact location. This is too passive."
Chen Ge slowly came to the corner of the stairs. He was about to continue down when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
"Someone is running down the corridor? And there is more than one? "
Ying Chen did not make any sound when he walked, so the person who was coming was unlikely to be Ying Chen. Chen Ge froze where he was. Honestly, he had now experienced the helplessness of a blind man.
They were living in the same world, but because they could not see, sometimes they could not even fight back.
The footsteps closed in quickly, and they soon appeared before Chen Ge.
He gripped the hammer in his backpack tightly. His body pressed close to the wall, and he was on high alert.
The footsteps stopped not far away from Chen Ge. Moments later, a boy's voice entered Chen Ge's ears.
"Why are you sitting in the corridor?"
The boy's voice sounded normal. He sounded like a normal boy, but there was curiosity and confusion in his voice.
Chen Ge thought about it for a long time, but he did not know what to say. His instinct told him that this was an opportunity. He could temporarily hide in one of the children's homes and lock the door to avoid Ying Chen's pursuit.
But rationality told Chen Ge that he could not trust the 'people' behind the door so easily. These children sounded harmless, but their real faces could be very scary. Perhaps they were just monsters that possessed the voices of children, and if they left with them, they would be eaten.
"Such a strange person. We'd better stay away from him," another boy said. "Let's continue to look for Ying Tong. I love playing hide-and-seek with him. We never have to worry that he will go back on his word."
"Yes, he is too stupid. Last time, I was hiding behind him, and he did not notice me."
"Every time he comes to capture us, in the end, it will be the few of us who go and find him. I really don't understand why you guys still want to play with him."
The few children were chatting and laughing. When Chen Ge heard Ying Tong's name, he lowered his head and memorized every word that the few children said.
"It's hide-and-seek again. Every time I'm behind the door, I run into hide-and-seek. This really matches the description of the ghost fetus' mission on the black phone. This is a game of hide-and-seek between life and death."
The few children were also looking for Ying Tong. They did not know Ying Tong's location, so Chen Ge did not open his mouth to ask them for more information.
As if thinking that Chen Ge was a very boring person, the few children ran away as they chatted among themselves.
The sound of footsteps slowly faded away. Chen Ge touched the wall and slowly stood up. His instinct, which had been honed from entering the world behind the door, told him that this building was very dangerous, and it was best to leave as soon as possible.
He took the first step down the stairs. Just as he raised his left leg, someone suddenly pushed him from behind!
His body lost its balance, and Chen Ge fell down the stairs with the backpack in his hand.
Piercing pain came from all parts of his body. Chen Ge used his hands to protect his head and gritted his teeth to steady his body.
Ignoring everything else, he immediately crawled up from the ground. He half-squatted on the ground and gripped his backpack tightly.
"No wonder his eyes have been closed. So, he is blind."
A boy's voice came from the stairs. Chen Ge had heard this voice before. The one who pushed him was one of the children.
"He is so strong. Has Ying Tong encountered something like this before?"
The footsteps moved away from Chen Ge. After the child pushed Chen Ge down the stairs, he ran away.
Moving his wrist, Chen Ge did not chase after the child but thought about what the child had said earlier. "No wonder his eyes have been closed. Could it be that in the eyes of the people behind the door, I have not opened my eyes? If that is the case, what should I do to open my eyes? "
