"The killer is that rag doll again? Was everyone in this building killed by that rag doll? "Wen Qing also saw the content on the yellow paper." Why would the monster do that? "
"Why?" Chen Ge turned back to look into Wen Qing's eyes. He thought about it for a while, but he still did not tell her about the ghost fetus and Xiang Nuan.
Wen Qing did not know that the monster that she mentioned was actually related to Xiang Nuan.
When the three stood beside the bed to communicate, the bedroom started to change.
The human shape that appeared above the bed was slowly sinking like someone was lying on the bed.
The stain was moving, and a child's handprint appeared on the bed. The handprint moved along the bed toward Wen Qing.
Chen Ge and the rest stood beside the bed, but the handprint seemed to be interested in Wen Qing.
"Don't move."
The handprint finally stopped before Wen Qing. The room was eerily quiet. Everyone held their breath.
"I feel like there is someone standing before me." Ten seconds later, Wen Qing said. Her eyes were filled with fear. "It's true. There is something standing before me!"
Taking out the hammer, Chen Ge stared at the bed before Wen Qing. The child's handprint stopped where it was.
"Ah!"
Without warning, Wen Qing suddenly screamed. She staggered backward, and her body slammed into the wall.
At the same time, the child's handprint started to move again, crawling toward the window.
"Someone touched my face just now. Its hand was very cold!" Wen Qing's expression did not look like she was lying.
"You can sense its presence?" Chen Ge used his Yin Yang Vision, but it was to no avail. He did not expect Wen Qing to be able to sense its presence.
"Yes, I can't see, I can't hear, and I can't smell anything strange, but I just feel that someone is standing in front of me!" This kind of scary experience was rare. Wen Qing was spooked. "Can't any of you feel it? Why would it target me? Did it think of me as its mother? Just like the two women who were killed just now? "
"You are unique to it." Chen Ge did not know whether he should tell Wen Qing about the ghost fetus or not. "Ever since you left Jin Hwa Apartments Block A, you have been seeing and sensing strange things, including the human heads floating in the black fog and the owner of the child's handprint …"
"Xiao Sun also saw it earlier. Didn't he say that there was someone following behind our team?" Wen Qing slowly calmed down. She gently touched her face and covered the place where she had felt strange just now.
"He's a tenant inside the door, so it's normal for him to see strange things. You come from outside the door, but you've seen more than he and I have. That's strange." It was not that Chen Ge suspected Wen Qing of doing something bad, but he had been wondering why Wen Qing did not exist in the world behind Xiang Nuan's door.
The world behind the door was weaved based on the door pusher's memory, and the process was not something that the door pusher could control. The deeper the memory, the easier it was for the door pusher to appear.
All the neighbors from Jin Hwa Apartments had appeared. As Xiang Nuan's mother, there was no reason for Wen Qing not to appear in the world behind the door.
Could it be that Xiang Nuan had sent Wen Qing out of the door? Or did the ghost fetus kill or control Wen Qing inside the door to achieve his goal?
"What are you thinking about?" Wen Qing saw Chen Ge did not say anything for a long time, so she opened her mouth to ask. The only person she could trust at that moment was Chen Ge.
"If one day, you find out that your child is completely different from what you imagined him to be, will you still love him?" Chen Ge asked pointedly.
"Of course, no matter what he turns into, he will always be my child," Wen Qing said firmly without hesitation.
"Even if he turns into the monster that you were so afraid of earlier?" When Chen Ge said that, he kept his eyes on Wen Qing, paying attention to the change in Wen Qing's expression.
"Even if he turns into a monster, it does not change the fact that he is my child." Wen Qing was confused. "Why do you keep asking me these strange questions? You suspect that Xiang Nuan is the monster inside the building? That's impossible! You haven't interacted with him before, but he is actually a very good child. "
"Yes, I believe he is a very good child." Chen Ge had seen the ghost fetus' earliest memory in Fang Yu's world. Inside Western Jiujiang's Haunted House, after the young Chen Ge went to bed, the shadow stayed in the room to play with its toys. It looked so lonely that it made one's heart ache.
Initially, the shadow was pure, but after it left Chen Ge, it changed completely.
Chen Ge's shadow had died, and a ghost called the ghost fetus had appeared in the human world.
"Let's go to the next room. The earlier we find the rag doll's body parts, the better it will be for our escape." Chen Ge did not argue with what Wen Qing said. He did not want to waste too much time on this question.
"Don't suddenly change the topic! Why did you ask that question earlier? "Wen Qing chased after Chen Ge. The two of them stopped after they exited the bedroom.
The incense burners in the four corners of the living room were all knocked over. The copper basin was flipped over, and the ashes from the paper money were scattered everywhere.
"Someone has been here, and it is following behind us."
"I think the chance of it being a ghost is higher. We'd better leave this building as soon as possible."
Chen Ge did not say anything. He walked through the living room to look at the corridor outside. There were more bloody handprints on the wall. The monster was crawling back and forth in the corridor.
"The handprints that appeared on the bed earlier are child handprints, and the ones outside are bloody handprints. Are these two different ghosts? There are two child ghosts inside the building? Or is there a child ghost in every house? "
Behind the door, Jiu Hong Apartments was filled with dead people. They were the original tenants behind the door. As for the exact number, only the ghost fetus would know.
The bloody handprints wandered around the third floor before running up to the fourth floor. It was like it was playing hide and seek with Chen Ge.
"Should we continue to chase after it?" Xiao Sun had a bitter expression on his face. He was really afraid now.
Chen Ge used his actions to answer Xiao Sun. His eyes stared at the bloody handprints as he walked up to the fourth floor.
The corridor that led from the third floor to the fourth floor was littered with many broken toys and the carcasses of many bugs. Chen Ge could not even name most of the bugs because they were too fragmented.
The paper money stuck to the soles of his shoes. The air was stuffy, and they could hear the sound of something rolling on the ground.
The three came to the fourth floor. This floor was not that different from the previous floors, but it looked more dilapidated.
Half of the Fu that was pasted on the walls had been torn off, and the more important thing was the bowls of white rice on the ground.
The white rice outside the door of the fourth floor had been eaten. The chopsticks were stuck into the bowls, and the rice was scattered everywhere.
"Someone really went to eat this."
"The rice in the bowls is used to feed the ghosts. The fact that the rice here has been eaten means that there might be more ghosts on this floor." Chen Ge's eyes stared at the bloody handprints. The handprints disappeared into the innermost room on the fourth floor. "If there's any emergency later, the two of you must not wander off. Staying close to me is the safest."
After giving the order, Chen Ge walked to the innermost room on the fourth floor — Room 404.
The white rice at the door had been eaten, and there were only some moldy rice left in the bowls.
Grabbing the doorknob, before Chen Ge could exert any force, the door was opened.
"It's not locked?"
He slowly pulled the door open, and when he was halfway through, he stopped.
There was a child in a red dress sitting in the living room. Her back was facing the door, and her face was facing the window. Her body was tied up with white bandages.
"A Red Specter?" Chen Ge was very sensitive to the color red. When he saw the red dress, he stopped moving immediately.
Before his employees woke up, he did not have the right to fight a Red Specter head-on.
"What is a Red Specter?" Xiao Sun placed his hand on Chen Ge's shoulder. "Why is the flesh on your shoulder frozen?"
"Shut up." Chen Ge stood at the door for a long time, and he realized that he was overthinking things. It was not a Red Specter but a 'girl' in a red dress.
Entering the room, Chen Ge looked around. The room was covered in bloody handprints. He lifted his head, and the ceiling was covered in red fingerprints. It felt like the monster would crawl all over the room at night.
"Can I not go in?" Xiao Sun was reluctant, and Wen Qing did not want to go in either. This room was indeed too scary for a normal person.
"Following me is the safest. Have you forgotten about the ghosts inside Closet 204? They are watching us at all times. Once we separate, they will attack us immediately and make us stay here forever. "Chen Ge took out the hammer and slowly approached the girl who was facing away from the door.
He could not sense any presence from the girl. She was not a living person, and she was not a Red Specter. She was more like a work of art.
Walking to the girl, Chen Ge's expression turned serious. He did not know how to describe this girl.
She looked no different from a normal person, but it felt like she had lost her soul and had become an empty shell.
The girl's body was tied to the chair by the white cloth. Her head leaned against the back of the chair, and there was blood on the corner of her lips. Her eyes were wide open, but there was no life in her eyes. They were like two dark holes.
"What is your name?" Chen Ge tried to communicate with the girl, but the girl did not respond. Compared to a normal person, she was more like a doll made from a living person, but this doll was much cuter than the one made by the ghost fetus.
"Is this child a resident of Jiu Hong Apartments?" Wen Qing walked over. "Can you untie her? She might know something. "
"Let's see if there are any other clues in this room. It won't be too late to make a decision after making sure there is no danger." Chen Ge did not find anything on the girl, so he started to search the room.
The room was very old. The furniture was simple, and the environment was poor. It was worse than Room 301 and 204 that Chen Ge had visited earlier.
"Why are there bloody handprints all over this room? The ghost fetus must have run into something in this room. "
His eyes scanned the room, and Chen Ge started to notice some problems.
Room 404 was the only room that did not even have a sofa. The owner was so poor that he did not have much furniture, and most of them were low-quality goods.
They could not even maintain their basic necessities, but there were plenty of toys in the room, and they came in many varieties.
"There is not even a fan in this room. Why would the owner be willing to buy so many toys for his child?"
Pushing open the bedroom door, a walking stick slid out from behind the door, and it landed right on Chen Ge's shoe.
Picking up the walking stick, Chen Ge saw a family picture placed on the study table.
A man with only one leg was hugging his son, and a woman was carefully guarding her son. On the other side of the man was a little girl.
In the picture, only the girl's face was normal. The faces of the other three were covered in scratches like they had been gouged out by fingernails.
"There is a family of four, but why is the girl's face the only one that is not scratched out?" Chen Ge picked up the picture. He saw a sentence written on the back of the picture — 'I am your family.'
"This handwriting is similar to the name carved on the chest of the mud statuette. It should have been written by the ghost fetus."
Putting down the family picture, Chen Ge opened the drawer of the study table. To his surprise, the drawer was filled with many kinds of pictures, and every picture had the date and crooked handwriting on the back.
Chen Ge arranged the pictures according to the date. The first picture was taken about ten years ago, not long after the shadow left Chen Ge.
There was only a girl in the picture. She looked cute, but she was dressed like a boy.
This picture was taken at the entrance of the apartment building. When the sky was turning dark, the girl was running down the stairs with a broken sandbag.
The second picture was taken a few days later. The girl still looked like a tomboy. She stood next to the pile of trash, holding a broken rag doll in her hands.
In the third picture, the girl was standing outside Room 404. The rag doll was abandoned in the stairwell, and the girl's parents were scolding her.
In the fourth picture, the girl was hiding under the shade of a tree with toys that she had never played with. She was smiling happily. That carefree smile was like a spring breeze, able to heal all the scars.
In the fifth picture, the little brother took away the girl's toys. The mother seemed to be questioning the girl and kept nodding at her. The father, who was missing a leg, was holding a broom, and his expression was twisted. They seemed to suspect that the girl had stolen the family's money and used it to buy toys.
In the sixth picture, the little brother was sitting inside the pile of toys, and the girl was leaning against the door. Half of the rag doll's face was peeking out from behind the door.
The first few pictures were normal, but from the seventh picture onward, everything changed.
Various wounds started to appear on the little brother's body. The parents were helpless, and in their desperation, they vented their anger on the girl. Perhaps from their perspective, the girl did not take good care of her little brother, or perhaps the wounds were caused by the girl.
The following pictures became crueler and crueler. In the eleventh picture, a rag doll pressed down on the little brother's head and pushed him to the window. The girl screamed and stopped the rag doll.
In the twelfth picture, the little brother hid behind his parents, crying and screaming. The girl was punished to stand at the door, and the hand that she hid behind her was dragging the rag doll.
In the thirteenth picture, the rag doll was once again thrown into the trash. It looked no different from the other pieces of trash, but when the rain fell on its face, which was made from different pieces of skin, it looked like a child with tears streaming down its face.
