Even though the boy had pushed Chen Ge down the stairs, he had also revealed a very important piece of information to Chen Ge.
In the eyes of the people behind the door, Chen Ge was a strange person who kept his eyes closed.
"Perhaps it is not that I cannot see, but I have not opened my eyes."
Leaning against the wall, Chen Ge reached out to touch his eyes. He was sure that his eyes were open.
"Why would something like this happen?"
There was nothing to block Chen Ge's eyes. He used his nails to dig into the flesh at the corner of his eyes and slowly slid them down. His vision was still dark. He could not even see the blood that had seeped into his eyelids.
"Darkness. It appears like there is only one color in this world."
The corridor returned to normal, and the group of children had already run away.
"Perhaps in other people's eyes, Ying Tong has always appeared with his eyes closed, so in his world behind the door, all the blind people have their eyes closed?
"Could there be such a situation? Even though one of Ying Tong's eyes is closed, he is not completely blind, and he knows what his big brother is doing. To survive, he is pretending that he cannot see anything.
"His world can have color, but he cannot open his eyes?
"If Ying Chen has really killed someone in real life, once Ying Chen finds out that his little brother is not blind, he will definitely create an 'accident' to kill Ying Tong!
"That madman can do anything. I cannot use the standard of a good person to analyze the logic of a bad person. For Ying Chen, blood brothers do not represent family, but they can represent some kind of entertainment tool."
Chen Ge was reminded of something. He had once opened the fridge at Ying Chen's home in real life, and he had discovered that the bottom of the fridge was filled with minced meat.
The bones had been removed, and the meat had been processed, so it was impossible to tell what kind of meat it was from the surface.
"If the meat is animal meat, then it would be fine, but I'm afraid it is not animal meat." Chen Ge had encountered many crazed murderers, and in his mind, there were different levels of crazed murderers. To be able to remove the bones, process, and disguise the meat as non-animal meat and store it under his own fridge, this was not something that a normal madman would do.
"When he is drinking with me, Ying Chen behaves like a normal person. In fact, he is more sociable than most people. If all my speculation is correct, then this man is a very scary person."
"Ying Chen wears a mask before every living person. He will only remove the mask before his younger brother, Ying Tong, and the boy has been exposed to such a scary scene since he was very young. Even without the ghost fetus, Ying Tong would have become the door pusher in the future."
The horror and distortion of the world behind the door were directly proportional to the despair the door-pusher had experienced in reality.
Although Chen Ge could not find anything special about this world through his sense of touch and smell, perhaps he would see the true horror of this world when he opened his eyes.
"It's useless to think so much. It's better to find a safe place to hide. Only one of the children pushed me, which means that there should be someone else I can talk to. If there's really nowhere else to go, I can try to persuade them. "
Chen Ge was not that confident. Actually, he had been paying close attention to his surroundings. If there was an accident, he would be able to react immediately.
The reason he was pushed down the stairs by the child earlier was because he really did not expect that one of the children had not left. At the time, the sound of their footsteps had been mixed together.
The second reason was because the child was very strong. He did not seem like a normal child at all.
After losing his sight, confirming someone's identity through sound was a very risky thing to do. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen Ge would not trust anyone.
"If this place corresponds to real life, Ying Chen's family lives on the seventh floor. I can use the sound of the elevator to determine the floor and try to take the elevator."
The old elevator would make a loud noise when it started, and it would be very dangerous. But at the end of the day, the elevator represented a third option. If Ying Chen knew that he could only take the stairs, the elevator would become his only hope of escape.
Of course, Chen Ge did not wish for that to happen. He did not want to cross paths with Ying Chen just yet.
"Let's assume that this place is the same as real life. Ying Chen's family lives on the seventh floor, and I am currently at the corner between the third and fourth floor. Ying Chen should be on the first floor.
"He might be waiting at the entrance of the first floor, or he might have already left and escaped from this building."
Unable to see anything, Chen Ge could only rely on his own guesses to choose his own path.
"Ying Tong does not know that I am blind. Earlier, he came up from the stairs on the right. If he noticed that something was wrong, he might enter the stairs on the left to investigate. After all, from his perspective, the person who sneaked into his house left through the stairs on the left, so there is a chance that he might have left some clues in the stairs on the left. "
With that in mind, Chen Ge left the stairs on the left. He entered the long corridor and headed toward the stairs on the right.
"Hopefully, I am overthinking this, but it is always better to be safe than sorry."
The best situation that Chen Ge predicted was that after Ying Chen reached the first floor, he would hear movement coming from the stairs on the left, and he would rush down the stairs on the left while Chen Ge hid in the stairs on the right. That way, he would be able to evade the man and escape from this building.
After he left this building, there would be more places for him to hide.
That was a beautiful thought, but reality was always cold and cruel.
Just as Chen Ge entered the corridor on the third floor, he heard the door open. The sound was very close to him, about two or three meters away from him.
With his hand on the wall, Chen Ge stood where he was.
The cold wind howled, and a horrible stench came out from the room.
Standing in the corridor was a very dangerous thing for Chen Ge. After a moment's hesitation, he took the first step forward.
He felt like he had stepped on something under his shoes. It was very brittle, like he had just stepped on a bug.
This was a very uncomfortable feeling. Chen Ge did not dare stay any longer. Just as he prepared to take the second step, someone suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.
"Are you new here?" A middle-aged man's voice entered Chen Ge's ears. It was this man who had opened the door earlier.
"Yes." Chen Ge's brain was spinning fast. The stench in the air included the smell of moldy food, accumulated clothes, and the stench of a human body. The uncle next to him appeared to be very unkempt. It had been a long time since he cleaned up the room.
"Why is the body of a new tenant so hot? I thought you came from outside to deliver something. "The middle-aged man said something that was very strange.
Hot? Chen Ge felt like his body temperature was already very low. This was the first time someone had said that his body was very hot.
He did not argue. From the perspective of a living person, his body temperature was not only not high, it was on the low side.
But from the perspective of a dead person, he was indeed different from other 'people'. He was an anomaly.
Chen Ge was thinking about how to answer the middle-aged man's question when the sound of a cat's meow suddenly echoed in his ears.
Sucking in a cold breath, Chen Ge's ears perked up, and he quickly determined the source of the cat's meow. It was coming from the left corridor!
Before he could say anything, the second meow came, and it sounded even more urgent than before.
"Ying Chen is coming!"
It was too late to run down the right corridor now. Chen Ge only had one choice. He whispered to the middle-aged man, "Brother, I have something very important to tell you."
Gripping the backpack tightly, Chen Ge held the wall and touched the door frame. "Let's go in and talk. Give me three minutes!"
Without waiting for an explanation, he entered the middle-aged man's home.
"Who gave you permission to go in?"
"Quick, close the door!" Chen Ge could not see anything. He could only hear the increasingly shrill meow of the cats. It sounded like he was the only one who could hear it.
"What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man's movement was slow. He shuffled around. At that moment, the cats sounded like they were being slaughtered. It was so loud that it was scary.
Chen Ge followed the sound and grabbed the middle-aged man's arm. He yanked him into the room. "Close the door!"
The sound of the door closing came. Chen Ge signaled for the middle-aged man to keep quiet. At that moment, the cats' meowing did not stop. If anything, it became more and more shrill. Ying Chen appeared to have heard the sound of the door closing. He was walking toward them!
"You …"
"If you do not wish to die, do not speak!" Chen Ge hissed through his teeth. The middle-aged man finally shut his mouth.
Chen Ge stood where he was. The middle-aged man walked past him like he was entering the living room.
The sound of footsteps revealed that there was someone inside the room, but Chen Ge had no control over the man at that moment.
The shrill and painful meowing of the cats entered his ears. It was impossible to tell where they were coming from. It was as if Ying Chen was standing right before Chen Ge.
He did not even dare breathe. He could only wait because Ying Chen might be standing right outside the door. There was only a door between him and Chen Ge.
Chen Ge clamped his hand over his mouth, and his mind turned. Ying Chen knows that someone has entered his home, but he does not know that it is me who has entered his home. From his perspective, he might mistakenly believe that it is the owner of this room who has sneaked into his home. With Ying Chen's personality, he might kill this middle-aged man.
Assuming that the middle-aged man and Ying Chen are just normal neighbors, if Ying Chen wants to kill the middle-aged man, then the middle-aged man and I will be in the same boat.
What I need to do now is to wait for Ying Chen to leave and then test the middle-aged man. I will slowly reveal the truth to him and see how he will react.
The meowing of the cats lasted for more than a minute before they stopped. Ying Chen had left.
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead and the blood stain on the corner of his brows, Chen Ge called out from inside the room, "Big brother, are you still there?"
Ying Chen was probably going home to retrieve something to prepare to kill the middle-aged man.
This was a residential building. A fight would definitely attract the attention of others. Chen Ge believed that Ying Chen would first drug the middle-aged man and then deliver the fatal blow after he lost consciousness.
The stench inside the room was overwhelming, but Chen Ge did not mind it that much. In his mind, as long as there was no stench of dead bodies, it was not a bad place to be.
"Big brother, I know it is rude of me to suddenly barge into your home, but I hope that you will allow me to finish what I have to say." Chen Ge took a deep breath. He knew that once he said that, the situation would become more complicated, and there would be more things to predict. "There are two brothers living on the seventh floor. The younger brother is blind, and the older brother likes to raise stray cats. Do you have any impression of them?"
There was still no response from inside the room. The middle-aged man appeared to have disappeared into thin air.
"Today, when I passed by the house, I noticed that the door was open. After I entered the house, I discovered that there was a dead body hidden under the big brother's bed. He is a murderer!"
After Chen Ge said that, there was finally some movement inside the room. The middle-aged man's voice came from a corner of the living room. "Impossible. I know that man. His name is Ying Chen. He is a dumb and dumb person, and he often does things that are unrewarding, like gardening at the residential area, taking in stray cats, and so on."
"Dumb and dumb? Do you think Ying Chen is that kind of person? "
"Yes, he is a good person. Based on his own explanation, he wants to do more good deeds and accumulate more karma, hoping to move God to help his brother's eyes recover sooner. Don't you think he is a dumb person?" The middle-aged man did not believe Chen Ge at all. From his perspective, Ying Chen had nothing to do with murder.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. You have only seen the side that he has shown. That is his disguise." Chen Ge did not expect the man to think that he was joking even though he had said it so clearly.
"I do not know why you would say that about him. If that is really the case, we should call more people to go up and take a look."
"Absolutely not." Chen Ge did not want to expose his existence. Once he was targeted by Ying Chen, he would not be able to see anything, and he would not even know how he died.
"Why are you here?" The middle-aged man reached out to grab Chen Ge's hair. "Is there something wrong with your eyes that you have kept them closed?"
"I am telling the truth. Ying Chen has killed people, and there is more than one victim."
"You look like a madman to me. You are blind, so how did you manage to see the dead bodies?" The middle-aged man did not believe what Chen Ge said. From his perspective, Chen Ge was more like an outsider who was lying.
"I touched it with my hands. It was tied under his bed. It was a headless body!"
"Touching a dead body? You sure are brave. " The middle-aged man's arm tightened. He did not welcome Chen Ge. He pulled on Chen Ge's hair and pushed him to the door. "Compared to a murderer, a person like you who sneaks into other people's houses to touch dead bodies is more disgusting, isn't it?"
With his hair pulled, his scalp prickled with pain. Chen Ge grabbed the middle-aged man's arm. He wanted to fling the man's hand away, but when his fingertips touched the middle-aged man's skin, his expression changed.
The middle-aged man's body was cold and had no body temperature. More importantly, the surface of his skin was uneven, and there was something that looked like plaque.
"Livor mortis?" These two words appeared in his mind. Chen Ge immediately let go of his hand. "This uncle is a dead man?"
"Get out of here now. If I see you again in this residential area, I will not let you off easy, do you understand?"
Chen Ge was pushed out of the room by the middle-aged man. Standing in the corridor, a chill rose in Chen Ge's heart.
"In Ying Tong's memory, the middle-aged man appeared as a private person. In other words, he has probably been killed in real life. Then, why was he killed as a neighbor? Did he discover Ying Chen's secret? Or did Ying Tong tell him something in secret, but he did not believe him, and that caused him to be killed? "
Many things behind the door were interconnected. Chen Ge stopped at the door for a while. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the old-fashioned elevator moving. At the same time, the cats started to meow again.
"Ying Chen is coming in the elevator."
