Chen Ge's initial plan was to find Ying Tong, but from the clues that he had gathered so far, he might need to find Ah Ying, Ah Mu, Ah Tong, and Ah Mu.
"Ying Chen knows about the existence of Ah Mu and his two brothers. In fact, one could say that the appearance of these three children is related to him. It was he who personally created these three tragedies.
"The three children suffer from three different mental illnesses, and these three illnesses are probably caused by Ying Chen. They correspond to the sharp weapon, imprisonment, and shock respectively.
"He asked the 'dead body' to take care of the three children. In real life, it was he who hid the dead body at home. Ying Tong has been living with the dead body for a long time, and that has given birth to three different personas.
"This also explains why none of the three children are able to leave their home, and only Ying Tong has chosen to run away from them.
"Other than that, there is one more thing that we need to pay attention to. Ah Mu is not blind, but Ah Mu is only six years old. If my previous analysis is correct, Ah Mu is one of Ying Tong's different personas. From this, we can indirectly prove that Ying Tong was not blind before he was six years old. At least, he was not completely blind."
The more he analyzed, the scarier Chen Ge felt. He took a deep breath and turned toward the living room to ask, "Miss Dress, are you still there? Do you mind telling me when was the first time Ying Tong ran away from home? "
"It was very long ago. It was about five years ago. At the time, Ying Chen's relative had just moved away, and only Ying Chen and Ying Tong were left at home." Miss Dress revealed another very important piece of information.
"Ying Tong ran away from home right after his relative moved away. Do you really not think that is a problem? Why would Ying Tong move away from home for no reason? His big brother, Ying Chen, must have done something bad to make his little brother feel fear. " Chen Ge could not see Miss Dress's expression, so he could not tell whether she agreed with him or not. "Think about one more thing. Ah Mu is the same age as Ying Tong when he ran away from home. Ah Mu suffers from a fear of sharp weapons. After Ying Tong ran away from home, he was found by Ying Chen, and a nail was placed near his eyes. Isn't a nail a sharp weapon? When Ah Mu sees a sharp weapon, doesn't he fantasize that someone is trying to stab his eyes with a sharp weapon? "
"What are you trying to say?"
"Ah Mu was Ying Tong at the time. The reason he suffered from Sharp Weapons Phobia was because Ying Chen had done something similar to Ying Tong. That was why he was afraid of sharp objects. That was the cause of his phobia!" The world behind the door was strange and absurd. Most of the time, it was illogical. However, when combined with the memories of the door-pusher in real life, one would realize that underneath all the absurdity was a wounded heart in real life.
To convince Miss Dress, Chen Ge shared all of his deductions and speculations. "If you do not believe me, you can bring me to meet Ah Tong and Ah Ying. Combining the experiences of these three children together, it is the wound that Ying Tong once suffered."
"I still do not understand it. Ah Mu is a living person. He is an independent existence. How could he represent a certain age of Ying Tong's memory?" As a native of the world behind the door, Miss Dress herself was woven from Ying Tong's memory. The purpose of her existence was to take care of Ying Tong, to accompany him, and to be his friend.
"You will naturally understand this question after you find Ying Tong. Even though his face is ruined and he is blind, he will have no problem communicating normally with others." Chen Ge sighed. "None of you have really listened to the child's voice. The words that sounded so strange to you were actually his pleas for help. The tragedy would not have repeated itself, but unfortunately, all of you have been tricked by Ying Chen. The kindness and kindness that you see are all that b * stard's disguise. His real self will make all of you feel disgusted. "
The tenants in the building all thought that Ying Chen was a good person, and they all thought that Ying Tong was a burden. But in reality, this was something that Ying Chen had purposely created.
It was because they believed in Ying Chen that most of the tenants had turned into dead bodies.
"I do not expect you to trust me completely. I only hope that you will give me a chance to prove myself." Chen Ge's attitude was sincere. He had no other choice. Ying Tong's world behind the door was the most difficult world that he had ever experienced. He had to try his best to grab hold of any chance he could. Only then would he be able to find a way out of this world. The room became quiet.
After a long time, Miss Dress said, "How do you plan to prove yourself? You want me to help you find Ying Tong? "
"At least before we find Ying Tong, do not tell Ying Chen anything about me. Other than that, you have to take care of yourself." The tenants in the building treated Ying Chen as their neighbor, but in Ying Chen's eyes, these tenants were just puppets on the stage. Once he had enough of them, he would kill them without hesitation.
"Fine, before we find Ying Tong, I promise to keep this a secret for you. But after we find Ying Tong, if you cannot prove what you have just said, then I will hand you over to Ying Chen. "
"Very fair. It's a deal then." After getting the woman's affirmative answer, Chen Ge sighed in relief. He leaned against the wall. "Ever since Ah Mu started staying at your place, he has not left the house even once?"
"Yes. Ever since Ying Chen sent Ah Mu here, he has not left the house."
"Did Ying Chen ask you to do that?"
"Yes, he was worried that Ah Mu would be hurt." Miss Dress had no idea what was on Chen Ge's mind. She merely told him everything that she knew.
"Ah Mu suffers from a phobia of sharp objects. It is understandable that he cannot leave the house, but what about Ah Tong and Ah Ying? You mentioned before that Ah Tong suffers from severe claustrophobia. Even this child cannot leave his own home, right? Is it really for his own good to keep a child with claustrophobia inside his own home? " Chen Ge's question hit the nail on the head. The woman thought about it for a while, and she suddenly realized that what Chen Ge said made a lot of sense.
"Ying Chen did not allow Ah Mu to leave the house for his own good. He merely wanted to hide him so that Ying Tong would not find him." Chen Ge searched around for a long time before he finally found a chair. He sat down. "Ah Mu is a part of Ying Tong. I suspect that after Ying Tong finds Ah Mu, some kind of change will happen to him."
Ying Tong did not dare open his eyes because he had to be a blind man, or else he would die. His eyes would be blinded, and that was why Ah Mu appeared.
If Ying Tong found Ah Mu behind the door, Ying Tong might recover part of his sight.
More importantly, as an outsider, Chen Ge had experienced Ying Tong's most despairing experience. If Ying Tong's condition could improve, he should be able to benefit greatly from it as well.
"When I was pushed down the stairs by the children, I noticed the problem. They did not say that I was blind, but they were curious about why I kept my eyes closed. At that moment, I started to suspect whether Ying Tong was really blind or not. I did not expect my guess to be so accurate. There is a high chance that Ying Tong is not completely blind. He is just too afraid to open his eyes. I have to help Ying Tong walk out of his despair and try to open his eyes. "
Chen Ge's tone was firm. He had never wanted to help someone so badly before. Some pain could only be understood after experiencing it, and that was what Chen Ge was experiencing.
He had to walk out of the door alive, save Ying Tong in real life, and then make sure that Ying Chen received the punishment he deserved.
Chen Ge's voice was gentle and filled with power. It carried a determination that would never back down. The woman in the room also changed her opinion of Chen Ge. "I will take you to Mr. Wood first, but he is not as easy to talk to as I am. He is a blockhead who is stubborn and stubborn."
"Thank you."
"There is no need to thank me. I am just curious about what you said." Miss Dress was a girl with a good personality when she was alive. She opened the front door and grabbed Chen Ge's arm. "Mr. Wood stays on Tuesday. We will go upstairs first."
"He stays on Tuesday?" Chen Ge stopped moving. "What do you mean by staying on Tuesday?"
"You can think of it as the second floor. The first floor is Monday, and the second floor is Tuesday. There are seven floors in a week." Miss Dress was very casual. She did not argue with Chen Ge on this topic. She helped Chen Ge into the stairwell.
"The number of floors is the date, and the date might represent the date of death." Chen Ge could feel the cold wind blowing at him from all directions. He was feeling very unsafe. "Miss Dress, can you promise me one thing later?"
"What is it?"
"If there is an accident, you will run in the direction that I tell you to take me. Do not ask me anything, and do not say anything."
"Okay."
Perhaps Ying Chen was not done dealing with the body, but Chen Ge and Miss Dress did not run into him. The two smoothly reached the third room that was closest to the left staircase on the second floor.
Knocking lightly on the door, Miss Dress called A-Tong's name softly. Soon, the front door opened.
"Didn't you just come to get the medicine? Why are you here again? " It was the voice of a middle-aged man who spoke. His tone was calm like he was not interested in anything.
"I have something to ask you." Miss Dress helped Chen Ge walk into the room.
"A blind man?"
"He just told me a story. I think it is quite interesting. Do you want to hear it?" Miss Dress had Chen Ge sit on the sofa, but Chen Ge was more worried about closing the front door first.
"Can I also listen to the story?" Another voice came out from inside the room. This voice was eighty to ninety percent similar to Ah Mu's voice. Judging from the voice, Ah Mu sounded like a child around four or five years old, so the owner of this voice should be around seven or eight years old.
The voice was not as young as before, and it sounded much gentler.
"Are you A-Tong?" Chen Ge turned to look at the source of the voice. Of course, there was only darkness before him, and he could not see anything.
"Yes, you know me?"
"Not only do I know you, I also know your father and mother." There was a smile on Chen Ge's face. "I have something to discuss with Mr. Wood and Miss Dress. Do you mind returning to the room for now?"
"Okay." The boy was very obedient.
Chen Ge listened to the sound of footsteps. He waited for the boy to walk away before whispering to Miss Dress, "Close the door. It is not a good time for him to hear some things."
"I can't do that. The boy suffers from claustrophobia. I have removed all the doors in the house, and the only one left is the front door in the living room." Mr. Wood seemed to think that Chen Ge was a liar, so his attitude toward Chen Ge was not that friendly.
"It's fine. That's all." Chen Ge repeated what he had told Miss Dress to Mr. Wood.
After hearing everything, Mr. Wood did not reply immediately. He thought about it for a long time, and in the end, it was A-Tong who came out.
The boy had also heard Chen Ge's story. He pitied Chen Ge in the story, and he instinctively begged Mr. Wood to help Chen Ge.
"I still cannot trust you completely. Seeing is believing." Even though Mr. Wood was not a bad person, he had an old-fashioned personality.
"What you see with your eyes might be something that someone purposely wants you to see. His real self has already rotted away under his beautiful appearance."
To convince Mr. Wood, Chen Ge revealed something else. "There is a middle-aged man living on the fourth floor. Ying Chen killed him not long ago. The reason I am able to move freely inside the building now is because I know he is dealing with the dead body on the fourth floor."
"I still do not think that is possible unless you let me see the dead body."
"There is a headless body hidden under the bed in Ying Chen's bedroom. If you do not believe me, you can go and take a look, but I advise you not to do that. Once you see the body, the next person to be killed by Ying Chen will be you." Chen Ge had to win over Mr. Wood's trust. If the man refused to listen to him, then his existence might be exposed, and then the situation would spiral out of control.
Chen Ge did not look like he was lying. Coupled with A-Tong's persuasion, Mr. Wood finally decided to temporarily cooperate with Chen Ge and search for Ying Chen Ge together.
"No matter what, do not tell Ying Chen about my existence, and do not tell him that someone is helping Ying Chen. You have to maintain your previous behavior and give Ying Chen the illusion that the whole world is trying to isolate Ying Chen. Only then will all of us be able to survive."
After giving that order, Chen Ge prepared to leave. He needed to find Miss Red as soon as possible.
"When Ah Tong and Ah Mu are not acting up, they are just like normal children. In fact, I feel like they are more mature and cute than normal children." Chen Ge sighed. Then, with Miss Dress' support, he entered the building on the left. "Which floor does Miss Red live on?"
"Saturday."
"Sixth floor?" Chen Ge frowned. This world behind the door was the world where he frowned the most. "Ying Chen is probably dealing with the dead bodies on the fourth floor. We will have to pass through the fourth floor to get to the sixth floor. It will be bad if we are discovered by him. Furthermore, the sixth floor is very close to the seventh floor."
His heart was pounding. Chen Ge felt like he was walking on a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.
Taking a step into the stairwell, Chen Ge and Miss Dress soon arrived at the third floor. Just as they prepared to move to the fourth floor, a barely discernible meow of a cat suddenly rang out.
"Stop!" Chen Ge grabbed Miss Dress with his hand. "Ying Chen is on the fourth floor."
"How did you know that?" Miss Dress asked softly, but Chen Ge did not answer.
He held his breath and listened to the meowing of the cat. Strangely enough, the meowing of the cat did not get louder or softer. It was like Ying Chen had been standing at the same spot all this time.
"What is he doing?" Chen Ge leaned against the wall. "Is he hiding inside one of the rooms with a weapon in his hand? Is he waiting for someone to pass by?"
Chen Ge signaled for Miss Dress to stop talking. He carefully moved to the fourth floor, and the meowing of the cat still did not change.
"Could it be that the b * stard has noticed that I have the ability to predict his location? Is he currently conducting some kind of experiment? "
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Chen Ge pointed at the fourth floor. "Miss Dress, can you help me take a look? Is Ying Chen standing in the corridor?"
"No, there is no one in the corridor."
"Okay, then we will go to the sixth floor first." Chen Ge pointed above him. He did not dare stay there for long. He planned to go to the sixth floor to find Miss Red first.
