The bedroom suddenly became quiet. Fan Cong looked at Chen Ge's face. He had forgotten what he had wanted to say earlier.
"Probably not …" After a long time, Fan Cong forced a smile. Every time he was with Chen Ge, he would remind himself to be calm and collected, but he would still be shocked by what Chen Ge said and did. "The doors and windows of the old lady's house are still intact. The child couldn't have suddenly appeared inside the house."
"Could it be that he sneaked into the house when the old lady was out and then hid somewhere inside the house, waiting for the old lady to fall asleep at night before he came out from his hiding place?"
"How come you're getting scarier?" Fan Cong could not keep up with Chen Ge's train of thought. This was not a scary thing, but once Chen Ge brought it up, his heart chilled.
"I'm just deducing based on the limited clues and coming up with the most likely scenario."
"Even if that's the case, why would the child go to the old lady's house at night? A prank? Theft? "
Chen Ge looked at the opposite building, and his eyes focused on the seal. "Very few children would go and prank an old lady. A thief is possible, but the chance of that is not high. By the way, was the child that the old lady saw a boy or a girl?"
"Is that important?" Fan Cong thought for a while before saying, "I remember it was a girl."
"A girl?" Chen Ge turned around and glanced at the game on screen. "Could it be that Xiao Bu has returned?"
Chen Ge's thoughts jumped so much that before Fan Cong could wrap his head around it, Chen Ge continued. "The first floor of the first building is where Xiao Bu's classmate lives. If the game corresponds to real life, then Xiao Bu might appear there. After all, that is where the 'door' is."
He stopped hesitating. "I want to go to that building to take a look. Do you want to come with me?"
"Now?" Fan Cong shivered. "It's not a good idea to go there at 2 am, is it?"
"There are too many people during the day, and I'll feel restricted doing anything. It's better at night."
"Mr Chen, it's not that I'm timid." Fan Cong picked up the bottle of coke on the table and took a sip. It appeared as if he was trying to use this method to ease his anxiety. "The old lady passed away not long after she saw the child. It was a sudden heart attack. When the ambulance arrived, the old lady was already on her last legs. I was there too. I heard from the paramedics that the old lady was old and had a sudden heart attack. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for her to make an emergency call. Originally, I didn't think much of it, but after talking to you today, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it. The old lady lived alone in the house. When she lost her ability to move, who would help her make an emergency call? "
"Doesn't this mean that the child she saw had no intention of harming her? He was probably just passing by."
"Big Brother, aren't you being too optimistic?" Fan Cong shook his head. "I don't think it's safe to go there now."
"Forget it. You should stay here. Let's keep in touch. If you see anything strange appear upstairs, remember to tell me on the phone. " After saying that, Chen Ge grabbed his backpack and walked out. Fan Cong wanted to persuade him, but looking at Chen Ge's back, he did not know how to start.
Walking out from the stairwell, Chen Ge stood alone in the dark residential area.
"Li Wan City's difficulty is 3.5 stars. The final opponent will definitely be stronger than Doctor Gao. If I can find Xiao Bu and unite all the victims, the success rate of this mission will greatly increase."
From how Chen Ge saw it, it was an accident that Xiao Bu pushed open the 'door'. Even though the 'door' that had gone out of control was probably the reason why Li Wan City had ended up like this, the culprit was not Xiao Bu. She was also a victim.
Arriving at the first building, Chen Ge entered the stairwell.
There were two rooms on the first floor, one on the left and one on the right. The old lady lived in the one on the west side, and Jiang Long lived in the one on the east side.
Looking at the rusted and dusty iron door, Chen Ge pulled open the zipper of his backpack, pressed the play button on the recorder, and took out his phone to call Fan Cong.
"Fan Cong, I've entered the stairwell, and I have something to confirm with you."
"What is it?"
"Are there any tenants in the first building?" Chen Ge reached out to grab the handle of the hammer. If there were no tenants or all the tenants lived on the top floor, then he would consider using brute force to open the door.
"A few days ago, I saw the lady on the third floor going out to buy groceries. There should be people living there, but there are only two or three tenants."
Fan Cong's answer disappointed Chen Ge. He let go of the hammer and pulled up the zipper of the backpack.
"Why do you ask?"
"If there are people living there, then I'll have to pay more attention." Chen Ge walked out from the stairwell. He grabbed the backpack and leaned against the window to look inside.
"Mr. Chen, it's already 2 am. What if someone sees you leaning against the window? How scary would that be?"
"If you continue to talk nonsense, I'm going to hang up." Chen Ge's pupils narrowed. He used Yin Yang Vision to inspect the situation inside the room.
The room had two bedrooms and one living room, and it was about eighty square meters. The interior decoration was simple, but there were many small handmade crafts on display. The place had its own style, and it was clear that the person who lived there had a passion for life. He was a happy and elegant person.
The interior decoration was completely different from the story that Chen Ge knew, and it did not match Jiang Long's identity.
"To open the door, one has to make a person fall into complete despair, from the heart to the body."
Chen Ge believed that when Jiang Long first interacted with Xiao Bu's mother, he had probably promised her something to make Xiao Bu's mother fall in love with him. When she was immersed in happiness, he would change into a different face to bring her despair and cruelty.
Moving his gaze, Chen Ge saw the cupboard in the living room.
Outside the cupboard was a happy life, but inside it was imprisonment and torture.
This extreme contrast was just like in Xiao Bu's game. Before the style changed, it was sunny and vibrant, but after the style changed, it was filled with murderers and ghosts, and everything had become twisted and twisted.
"The door that has gone out of control should be here."
Chen Ge walked for a long time before he realized that the window of the bathroom had been smashed. Perhaps the child had accidentally kicked it when he was playing football.
"I should go in from here." Chen Ge took out the hammer to widen the gap. He reached out to unlock the window and entered the room.
He summoned Xu Yin to follow behind him. Then, he walked into the living room and pushed the cupboard open.
"It's similar to the game."
There was a wooden board under the cupboard that was the same color as the floor tiles. After pulling it open, a secret passage was revealed.
"The space down here is quite big."
Chen Ge studied the wooden board for a while. He believed that this was not the door that Xiao Bu had pushed open, so he prepared to enter the underground room to take a look.
