"Sorry for disturbing you tonight. You should go to bed as well." Chen Ge was so focused when he was playing that he did not realize it was already so late.
"Do you still need to go back? Just stay at my place for one night. My bed is very big. "Fan Cong tossed the wrinkled clothes on the bed to the side.
"There's no need. My Haunted House still needs to open for business tomorrow." Chen Ge waved his hands politely. He planned to leave after he was done with everything. "I remember you said something weird happened when you were playing the game, like something inside the game escaped?"
Fan Cong and Fan Dade shared a look. They were confused as well. Before this, when they played the game, they would turn off the background music and place the screen as far away as possible. They would operate from one meter away, but even so, they would still be spooked.
However, when they watched Chen Ge play, their fear had shifted from the game itself to the player. This was the first time they had experienced something like that.
The brothers did not know what to say. In the end, it was the older brother, Fan Dade, who changed the topic. "It's probably because of psychological reasons. Now that I think about it, how could something inside the game escape?"
"Don't let your guard down. There is indeed a problem with this game. In the future, you'd better only play it during the day." Chen Ge gave Fan Cong a few more reminders. After ensuring that everything was fine, he walked out of the bedroom.
"Mr Chen, it's not easy to get a taxi here. Let me drive you back." Fan Cong chased after him. Perhaps Chen Ge's actions had stunned him. At that moment, he had many things to discuss with Chen Ge.
"Wait, there's no need to send me off." Through playing this game, Chen Ge's relationship with Fan Cong and Fan Dade improved. The brothers were very friendly.
"There are no taxis in Li Wan City at night. You'll have to walk to Eastern Jiujiang's Merchant City to find one." Fan Cong took out a key from the drawer. "You can ride my electric bike. I'm planning to go to your theme park tomorrow. You can give me the bike then."
Having said that, Chen Ge did not refuse. He took the keys to Fan Cong's scooter and said, "Thank you."
Pushing open the door of the living room, Fan Dade and Fan Cong sent Chen Ge downstairs. The entire neighborhood was dark, and only Fan Dade's house was lit.
"Why do I feel like there are very few residents in your residential area?" Chen Ge recalled the house opposite Fan Dade's. There was a mirror hung on the door to ward off evil spirits.
"This place is too secluded, and traffic is not convenient. As time goes by, those who can move have already moved away." Fan Dade led Chen Ge to the electric bike. "Be careful on the road. See you tomorrow."
Chen Ge checked the battery and thanked Fan Dade and Fan Cong again before leaving on the bike.
After a while, the lights in Fan Cong's house went off, and the whole of Li Wan City was plunged into darkness.
"This Eastern Jiujiang sure is strange." Chen Ge turned back to look. "Should I go to the corresponding place in the game tonight?"
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge gave up on that idea. "It's better to be safe. After Fan Cong has figured out all the danger zones, I'll go look for the door that has gone out of control."
Driving out of Li Wan City, it took Chen Ge more than an hour before he returned to New Century Park.
Entering the Haunted House, Chen Ge's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Resisting the urge to sleep, Chen Ge found his backpack in the staff breakroom. He opened the steel door that led underground and entered it.
Sitting in the last classroom, Chen Ge activated the recorder and flipped open the comic to summon Meng Nan.
Meng Nan, who was only slightly taller than Chen Ge's knee, crawled out from Yan Danian's comic, and he looked at Chen Ge with some resentment.
With a dry cough, Chen Ge felt embarrassed. "Are you used to staying here?"
"When are you going to send me back? If the broken window behind the Third Sick Hall's door is left unattended, something scary will happen! "Meng Nan looked like an adult, and his cute face looked at Chen Ge seriously.
"What will happen?"
"The Third Sick Hall's door is showing signs of going out of control. When I was unconscious, the world behind the door was slowly overlapping with the world outside the door! They are influencing each other. If we ignore them, the door won't be able to close, and the negative emotions inside the door will spill out into the world outside the door. "Meng Nan wanted to explain the severity of this problem to Chen Ge.
"The negative emotions inside the door will spill out into the world outside the door?" Chen Ge was reminded of the scenario he had seen in the game. The whole town was filled with murderers and ghosts, and everyone seemed to have lost their minds.
"Yes, if the door is left open for a long time, it will slowly affect everything around it." Meng Nan crawled into the chair. He hated to raise his head to talk to people. "Anyone within the range of the 'door' will have problems. Initially, it will be a small change in their mentality, like they will suddenly become introverted and lose interest in everything. Over time, their physiological habits will change as well. Take steak for example, they used to like medium rare, but now they like medium rare. In fact, they might even start to like raw beef with blood vessels. "
Meng Nan described the process of a normal person slowly becoming 'twisted'.
"Is this process irreversible?" Chen Ge knew very well that the door in Li Wan City had already gone out of control. This time, his enemies were not only Specters but also people with ill intentions and monsters that escaped from behind the door.
"The best solution that I can think of is to stop the door from going out of control. Of course, you can find a psychiatrist to treat them one by one, as long as you don't mind the trouble. " Meng Nan was hinting at Chen Ge. He was in a hurry to return, but he was unable to defeat the Specter on Chen Ge. This made him very conflicted, and he felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.
"Can a 'door' that has gone out of control be closed?" Chen Ge had his own thoughts. No matter what, he was very calm.
"You need to understand a logical sequence. A 'door' is said to have gone out of control because it can't be closed." Meng Nan's answer was rather pessimistic.
"Even the door-pusher can't close it themselves?" Chen Ge leaned against the chair, unwilling to give up. His original plan was to find the door in Li Wan City, enter the door to find Xiao Bu, and then use reasonable methods to make Xiao Bu close the door.
"Perhaps the door-pusher has a way to close it, but that depends on the 'person'. Different door-pushers have different strengths and abilities." When Meng Nan said that, his eyes were filled with resentment. The reason he did not run away was because he was not good at fighting. Even behind the door at the Third Sick Hall, he was not Zhang Ya's match, so he had been staying inside the comic.
"I've told you everything I can. You can ask me about the rest, but I don't know." Before Chen Ge could ask, Meng Nan looked at him and continued. "It's really scary when the door goes out of control. I have to return. Without me behind the door, Western Jiujiang will become like Eastern Jiujiang."
"Western Jiujiang will become like Eastern Jiujiang? You know about Eastern Jiujiang? "Chen Ge was startled. In the conversation earlier, he had not mentioned Eastern Jiujiang.
