"How did you receive these letters in the first place?"
"When I came back from work, these letters were all stuck on the door." Xiang Nuan's mother still did not realize the severity of the problem. She hugged the box and thought that this was a prank. "At the time, I was also shocked by the number of envelopes. I wanted to ask the neighbors about it, but no one was willing to talk about it."
"Of course, they would not tell you because they were the ones who sent these letters to you."
"But why would they do that?" Xiang Nuan's mother's tone changed. "I will go and ask them. If they really want Xiang Nuan and I to leave, we can move away."
"Then what if they want Xiang Nuan dead?" Chen Ge did not touch the envelope inside the box. He asked in a very serious tone.
"Dead?" Xiang Nuan's mother sucked in a cold breath. She did not expect Chen Ge to say something so extreme. "Impossible. We are neighbors. No matter how much conflict there is, it will not escalate to that stage."
"That is what I thought a long time ago, but after experiencing some things, my opinion has slowly changed. Human nature is complicated. Through a layer of skin, you will never know what they are thinking." Chen Ge's voice was very soft, and it sounded quite scary. "Every death notice here represents a malicious intent and a curse. Xiang Nuan's sudden illness probably has something to do with them."
"Then I will go and burn all these letters."
"That will not work." Chen Ge knew very well that the curse of the non-smiler would not disappear just because the letters were burned. When the letters were placed on Xiang Nuan's door, the curse should have been completed already. "Tonight will be a difficult night."
Seeing so many letters, Chen Ge had a feeling that the chance of Xiang Nuan surviving the night was not high.
The red high heels had consumed the residual curses inside the ghost fetus' many doors, and her power had increased tremendously. Even under such circumstances, she could only change the handwriting on one letter. This showed how scary the curse on these letters was.
"The cursed hospital is too evil. They have used so many death notices to curse Xiang Nuan. Even if the ghost fetus is successfully born, the body that he has spent so much effort to find will be haunted by the curse, and it will enter a very weakened state."
The hospital did not care about the lives of innocent people. Perhaps in their eyes, lives were just a medium to transmit the curse, a bridge to achieve their goal. As long as he could reach the destination, it would not be a problem to trample on emotions and humanity.
If the ghost fetus' evil came from the inside out, it was a kind of evil that contained anger, hatred, jealousy, and so on, then the evil of the cursed hospital was pure and did not carry any emotion.
In the face of such an opponent, pure kindness had almost no chance of winning, so in order to survive, Chen Ge could only arm his kindness.
"Pa!"
Someone clapped on the first floor, and a voice-activated light lit up. It seemed like someone was walking up the stairs.
Chen Ge gestured for the woman to keep quiet. One minute later, the old man that Chen Ge had met during the day appeared. He was carrying an empty lunch box.
"Xiao Wen, I am here to return the lunch box. Is Xiang Nuan's condition better? I heard you guys smashing things from the first floor. " The old man was about the same as he was during the day. He was already in his seventies, but he still gave off a sloppy vibe. He seemed to be very concerned about everything and especially liked to meddle in other people's affairs.
"Xiang Nuan is already asleep." The woman forced a smile on her face. She accepted the lunch box from the old man. She was about to leave when she suddenly saw an old envelope in the old man's hand.
When they saw the envelope, both the woman and Chen Ge's faces turned pale.
The old man was confused. "What are you looking at?"
"Old man, are you also here to deliver a letter?" Chen Ge had quite a good impression of this old man.
"Why would I deliver a letter?" He raised the envelope. "When I left the house today, I saw this letter on the door. I have no idea who sent it to me, but the key problem is that I am illiterate! This is strange! In this day and age, even someone like me, who has one foot in the coffin, knows how to make a phone call, but someone still sends a letter? "
"You still haven't opened it?" Chen Ge used his Yin Yang Vision and confirmed that the envelope was indeed not opened. He sighed in relief.
"Since you are here, I wish to ask Xiao Wen to help me take a look at what's written on this letter." Before Chen Ge could say anything, the old man opened the envelope. After he took out the death notice, his face darkened. "Mother of God, it appears to be from the hospital. Quick, let me take a look at it."
The old man raised Xiang Nuan's death notice before Chen Ge and the woman. From the looks of it, he was not faking it.
Chen Ge believed that he could try to persuade the old man, but before he could say anything, the woman took the death notice from him and read the content on it honestly.
"Isn't this some kind of nonsense? How old is Xiang Nuan? Is there some kind of mistake? " The woman read the last sentence of the death notice. If he did not hand the death notice over to Xiang Nuan, he would be the next one to die. The old man heard that clearly, but after hearing it, he still asked for the return of the letter.
"Sir, I think you'd better give me the letter. I've received so many already. I don't need one more from you." The woman did not want to drag the old man down with her. She knew that the old man did not harm her, and she was very touched by that.
"These people are getting more and more outrageous. They are willing to do anything. Tomorrow, I'll go and ask around to see who came up with such a wicked idea." The old man was rather angry.
"There's no need."
"You are also a victim of this residential area. Why would they vent all their anger on you? You don't have to worry about it anymore. Checking out is one thing, but now that this is such a mess, I will have to have a good talk with them tomorrow. "After saying that, the old man took the letter and went downstairs.
"Looks like not everyone in this residential area is bad." Chen Ge looked at the old man's back. Perhaps in the world behind the door, the old man could be a breakthrough. "What is the name of that old man?"
"His surname is Huang, and he lives in Room 104. He is the oldest tenant in this residential area." Mentioning the old man, the woman's expression softened. "When Uncle Huang was young, he was injured at work. He had surgery on his nose and ears. After that, he worked at the hospital as a janitor and looked after the morgue."
"He works with dead bodies?"
"Yes, he has worked for most of his life, but he has not saved much money. He is a good man, but he has a very stubborn temper." The woman revealed a bitter smile. "He has no children, and the place he lives in is rented to him by his boss. Before this, I wanted to introduce him to an auntie, but he said that he did not want to burden the auntie, so he did not meet the auntie."
"This old man sure lives a carefree life."
"It's fine if he is not ill. Normally, I will go and take care of him, but if something serious happens to him, we will have to rely on the community." The old man did not shove the letter into the woman's hand, and this improved the woman's mood slightly.
"By the way, did he just call you Xiao Wen?"
"Yes, my name is Wen Qing, Qing as in sunny day."
"Wen Qing? Xiang Nuan? " Chen Ge nodded and memorized the name. "Since there is still time, you should stay in the house for now. I will go and take a look at the other tenants."
After exchanging a few words, Chen Ge left with the phone.
He summoned Xu Yin and walked between Jin Hwa Apartments and Jiu Hong Apartments. He entered each building to investigate, but to his surprise, there was almost no living person in these two residential areas.
"Where have all the tenants gone?" He could not get through to the phone, and there was no answer when he knocked on the door. Chen Ge had the Red Specters enter their rooms to investigate, but he found nothing. All he could smell was a faded Foul Odor inside their rooms.
As time passed, the stench in the residential area thickened, and even Chen Ge was feeling very unsettled.
He stood on the roof of the residential area and looked around. Jiu Hong Apartments and Jin Hwa Apartments appeared to be moving further and further away from the lights around them. It was like the whole residential area was sliding down the abyss. It was a very strange feeling.
"This residential area itself has a big problem. The ghost fetus must have set up something here."
Chen Ge had crossed paths with the shadow before. With the shadow's personality, he would definitely leave behind many trump cards to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan. Since those trump cards had not been exposed, it could only mean that the ghost fetus had not been forced to the point where he needed to expose himself.
Time flew. To prevent any accidents, after Chen Ge walked around the two residential areas, he immediately returned to Xiang Nuan's home.
"How did it go?"
"I didn't see anyone, and I couldn't get through to any of the phones. I have a feeling that something bad will happen tonight. Your neighbors appear to be planning something." Chen Ge released the white cat from the bag and closed the front door. "Don't worry, I will not stay here overnight. If there is nothing strange after 1 am, I will leave immediately."
At this point, the woman found it hard to reject him. He placed all the envelopes inside the box and planned to burn them outside the residential area the next morning.
"Do you want to eat something?"
"It's fine. I do not have the habit of eating at other people's homes." Chen Ge had entered a state of high alert. He knew that the blood door would appear next to Xiang Nuan's bed, and the people from the cursed hospital would definitely come to fight for this door.
At 11: 30 pm, the sound of footsteps appeared in the corridor. The sound became louder and louder. People were coming up the stairs, and people were coming down the stairs. However, when Chen Ge leaned on the peephole and looked out, there was no one in the corridor.
"They're here."
At 11: 50 pm, the lights in the room flickered several times before going off without any warning. The surroundings were shrouded in darkness.
"Tripped? I'll go take a look. "
"Don't move! Stay where you are! Do not get close to the window or the door! " Chen Ge shouted. He used his Yin Yang Vision to look into Xiang Nuan's room. The child was still lying in bed, and he appeared to be fast asleep.
Giving up on the living room, Chen Ge and the woman all moved into Xiang Nuan's bedroom.
At 11: 55 pm, the sound of knocking came from the living room. Both the woman and Chen Ge became nervous.
"Thankfully, you stayed behind tonight, or else I would have been quite afraid on my own." Listening to the mechanical knocking, the woman felt a chill run down her spine. "Should we go to the door to take a look?"
"Just stand behind me and don't go anywhere." Chen Ge had no idea how scary the cursed hospital was. The only thing he could do was be as careful as he could.
After the knocking continued for a while, a child's voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Xiang Nuan, my name is Nie Xin. I'm here to take you home."
"Who is Nie Xin?" the woman asked softly.
"A dead man." Chen Ge stared closely at the living room door. At 11: 59 pm, the anti-theft door made a strange sound. As the spring turned, the originally locked door opened on its own.
The steel door was slowly pushed open, and outside the living room was the deserted corridor.
"The door is open? Why would they have the key to my home? " Xiang Nuan's mother heard the sound. Her heart was pounding. She could not imagine what would have happened if she had walked over earlier.
"Quiet!"
Chen Ge narrowed his eyes as he stared at the darkness before him. Something was approaching from the corridor. There was only a living room between them.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …
The ticking of the clock sounded like drops of blood dripping to the ground. When midnight arrived, a door that was completely covered in blood silently appeared next to Xiang Nuan's bed!
This was a real blood door! The smell of blood that radiated from it was thicker than any door that Chen Ge had encountered before!
Endless blood vessels and curses crawled around the room. The footsteps in the corridor suddenly sped up. Chen Ge took out the hammer from his backpack. He focused all his attention on the corridor.
But at that moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from behind Chen Ge. "Xiang Nuan! Xiang Nuan! "
Chen Ge turned back to look. Xiang Nuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, had disappeared, and the blood door that stood next to his bed had been pushed open.
"Xiang Nuan has entered it? This door is not a fictional nightmare! This is Xiang Nuan's own door! "
The moment Xiang Nuan entered the door, the woman did not even think before she followed suit.
Now Chen Ge had no other choice. He grabbed the backpack, picked up the white tiger, and turned to walk through the blood door.
He tried to close the door, but before his hand could touch the door that was covered in blood, his body was swallowed by the blood.
…
Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Ge looked around. He realized that he was still inside Xiang Nuan's home.
The layout of the room had not changed much, but most of the furniture in the room had been damaged, and there were signs of being smashed everywhere.
"So, this is the world behind Xiang Nuan's door? It is no different from reality. In fact, even the Foul Odor has disappeared. "
This place was more like reality than reality. After coming to this conclusion, Chen Ge suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had no idea why.
Picking up the backpack, Chen Ge tried to call for his employees, but there was no response.
He turned to look beside him. The white cat was lying on its side on the ground. It was not moving, and it appeared to have lost all signs of life.
"Did something happen to it when it entered the blood door?" Chen Ge's eyes reddened instantly. He picked up the white cat immediately.
The warmth that came from the tip of his fingers made Chen Ge feel like something was wrong. He shook the cat several times, and it was only then that the white cat meowed with dissatisfaction.
"You know how to play dead? Is that a skill that a cat should know? "
Putting down the white cat, Chen Ge sighed in relief. He picked up the backpack and prepared to inspect the room.
Once he pushed open the door to Xiang Nuan's bedroom, Chen Ge was stunned. Xiang Nuan's mother was currently sleeping in bed.
"Should I wake her up?" Chen Ge walked into the bedroom. He looked at the woman's face, and another question appeared in his mind. "Is this woman Xiang Nuan's mother or not? Is she inside the door or outside the door? "
