No matter what he chose, his life would be in danger. Chen Ge rarely felt so conflicted.
The woman's voice grew louder and louder, but strangely enough, there was no echo from her in the tunnel like only Chen Ge could hear her voice.
"The person who saved you died in the tunnel. Even though the person who didn't save you didn't make it to the news, he probably won't end up well either."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ge decided to ignore the woman for now. After he completed the Nightmare Mission, he would deal with this suicide question.
When he took the forty-first step, the sound of the wind around his ears seemed to soften. It was unclear whether it was because there were too many ghosts around Chen Ge or some other reason.
The light from his phone started to twist, and he could clearly feel that his surroundings had darkened.
Perking himself up, Chen Ge called out his own name.
"Only three steps left."
The woman on the left side of the tunnel was closing in, and so were the ghosts. Chen Ge looked into the tunnel and took the forty-second step without hesitation.
The moment his foot touched the ground, the flashlight on his phone suddenly went out.
Without any warning, no matter how hard he tried, the phone did not respond.
Darkness descended, and Chen Ge was enveloped in it. Even with Yin Yang Vision, he could only see two to three meters further than a normal person.
There was no light at all. Chen Ge stood where he was, not daring to move.
In absolute darkness, one's five senses would be blinded. Without any reference, it was easy to get lost.
He was afraid that he might accidentally fall down and lose his sense of direction when he stood up.
That was a scary thing in the tunnel. If he chose the wrong path, he might end up walking deeper into the tunnel.
The surroundings quieted down, and the woman in the red dress closed her mouth.
However, this was not a good feeling. He knew that there were ghosts everywhere, but he could not see them.
Chen Ge's breathing became difficult, and a pressure came from all around him. "I can't stay here any longer."
Raising his leg, Chen Ge took the forty-third step.
The tunnel became even quieter. The ghosts appeared to have disappeared, and strangely enough, there was a faint light coming from the end of the tunnel.
It was very weak, and he could not see it clearly.
"Am I leaving the tunnel?"
The light in the distance was not static. It was slowly approaching, as if someone was carrying a lamp.
Chen Ge did not act rashly. He focused all his attention on the light. His body felt like it was being squeezed by something. It was as if he had drilled into an invisible wall.
As the light slowly approached, the pressure on Chen Ge increased.
"Whatever, let's take the final step first!" He felt like his body was about to be torn apart. He forcefully lifted his leg and prepared to take the 44th step.
As the light approached, the figure hidden behind the light gradually became clearer.
Looking straight ahead, Chen Ge's pupils contracted. His left leg was suspended in the air and he even forgot to put it down. He could hardly believe his eyes.
"That is …"
Behind the light was a boy. He was carrying a school bag. The zipper of the bag was ajar, and inside it was a very crude doll.
The child's left hand seemed to be held by someone, and his right hand was holding a phone to light the way. The phone was the kind that was made many years ago, and it did not even have a flashlight function. He could only rely on the dim light emitted by the screen to move forward step by step.
The boy's expression was serious as if he was looking for something.
His hand was being held, so it was obvious that he had been accompanied by an adult.
Perhaps because he had been holding the phone for so long, he was tired. He lowered his arm and moved forward a few more steps before stopping before Chen Ge.
The boy did not seem to realize that there was someone before him. He stared into the endless darkness.
The adult next to him seemed to say something to persuade him to give up, but the boy did not agree. He continued to stare into the darkness.
The boy seemed to sense something. He lifted his head and aimed the phone right before him.
In the absolute darkness of the tunnel, the light that was so weak that it was almost negligible connected the two's gazes.
Chen Ge stood at the side of the tunnel. He was like solidified plaster, and his eyes stared at the boy's face.
This boy was him from many years ago!
His arms were shaking, and Chen Ge could not describe this strange feeling.
"I once saw a red house in Eastern Jiujiang, and there were many children playing and laughing around it. Then I fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself in the car. Even now, I still can't remember what happened in the middle of that."
Chen Ge looked at the boy, and the boy looked back at him.
Under the dim light, the boy opened his mouth. Chen Ge could not hear his voice clearly, but from the movement of his lips, the boy said three words — found it!
The boy appeared to have something else to say, but the adult next to him did not give him the chance to continue. Chen Ge could clearly see that the boy's neck was starting to twist. It was as if the adult who had accompanied the boy into the tunnel was strangling his neck.
His body turned cold, and Chen Ge gasped for air. He wanted to stop the adult. His feet landed, and he took the forty-fourth step!
This step seemed to have missed. His body seemed to be falling endlessly, and it felt like his soul had been kicked out of his body and was about to be sucked away by something.
The light before him moved further and further away. He tried his best to grab onto something, but there was no one to help him.
An indescribable despair rose up in his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes.
However, just as his eyelids were about to close, a blood red shadow appeared at the end of the light. Blood spread, and the person looked like a blood red sun.
She chased away the endless darkness, turning it into a sea of red.
"Zhang Ya?"
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his arm. Chen Ge's eyes flew open, and he woke up instantly.
His clothes were soaked in sweat, and the light on Chen Ge's phone returned to normal. He was still standing in the tunnel.
"I've seen myself from more than ten years ago? Is that what I've forgotten? "Chen Ge felt a chill in his heart." So, someone has been trying to kill me since then. "
There were no clues about the killer in his memory, and none of the people around him had been imprisoned. In other words, the person who had wanted to kill him had probably been living around him.
"For now, I can only confirm that the person is in Eastern Jiujiang. That's not a big problem. I'll take care of this later." Chen Ge turned to the spot where the pain came from. It was where the white cat had bitten him until he bled. "Thankfully, I brought you here."
Chen Ge touched the white cat's head. He wanted to thank Zhang Ya more. When he turned to look at his shadow, he suddenly realized that the woman in the red dress was standing next to him.
Her body was broken, and her head was caved in. The woman looked at Chen Ge and repeated, "I'm here, help me, I'm here …"
"I almost forgot about you." At such a close distance, Chen Ge could not avoid her anymore. He gritted his teeth and glanced at his shadow. Then he turned to the woman. "How do you want me to help you?"
