The 'door' of Li Wan City had gone out of control. The blood fog swallowed half of the town, and the border between reality and nightmare blurred.
Chen Ge had no idea whether he was inside the door or outside it. Under the cover of the blood fog, blood vessels started to appear on the surface of all the buildings.
If we keep going, we'll reach the building where Tong Tong's body was found. Should I go upstairs to check the water tank? In real life, Tong Tong's body had been taken away by the police. If there was another body inside the tank, it meant that Chen Ge was probably inside the world behind the door.
The world behind the door was made from the door-pusher's memory. As long as there was Tong Tong's body in Xiao Bu's memory, there should be a body inside the tank.
Of course, this was just Chen Ge's speculation. He did not have a better way to verify it.
The residential area where Fan Cong lives is with Xiao Bu's student, and it's quite far from here. If I want to go there, I'll run into some things.
Chen Ge looked behind him. He was surrounded by blood fog, and the road that he came from had disappeared. This world that was covered in blood fog appeared to be a place where one could only enter but not leave.
If this is really the world behind the door, the only way to leave the world behind the door is through the door. The door to Li Wan City is inside the building opposite Fan Cong's home. Looks like no matter the reason, I'll have to go to his home's residential area tonight.
After coming up with an excuse for himself, Chen Ge planned to share his analysis with the other passengers and drag them to the residential area.
"I'm giving them directions to save them."
More blood vessels appeared on the surface of the bus. The fog seemed to have a life of its own, slowly consuming everything that was around it.
"What are you mumbling about?" The passengers got off the bus one after another. The doctor sidled up to Chen Ge. "Later, we'll stick together. No matter what happens, don't separate."
"Okay." Chen Ge turned to look at the car. The drunkard and the family of three were squeezed together, the smiling man stood alone at the side, and the murderer who called himself Scissors stood at the back.
"Before ensuring that the buildings are safe, you'd better stay away from these buildings. There's no telling when scary things will pop out from inside, like bloody arms or flying heads." Chen Ge had seen similar scenarios in Xiao Bu's games, so he was very experienced.
"Are you kidding me?" The drunkard had completely woken up. He had been scared out of his wits. If he could leave Li Wan City alive that day, he would probably never drink again.
"I'm just spouting nonsense. I don't know what exactly will happen, but it might be even scarier than what I said." Chen Ge pointed at the building where the phone's body was. "Let's go and take a look. We'll search floor by floor. After confirming that there's no danger, we'll hide inside."
"You seem to know this place very well." The middle-aged man's face was dark, and his tone was full of distrust. "There are so many buildings around, why do you have to go to that building? Don't tell me you've set up a trap there? "
"You're overthinking it." Chen Ge smiled at the middle-aged man. "To kill you, there's no need for a trap."
The middle-aged man's expression shifted instantly. Chen Ge waved his hands. "I'm just joking. I've never killed a chicken in my entire life. The only reason I'm able to maintain my composure now is because I've been playing horror games for a long time."
Chen Ge turned around and pointed at the building that he had chosen. "There has to be a reason why I want you to go to this building. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated. We'll hide inside the building first and observe the bus outside through the window. The mastermind has lured us into the blood fog, so he'll definitely send someone to investigate. At the very least, we need to know our opponent's appearance and ability before we can come up with a plan. Furthermore, the fog is thick, and the visibility is low. If we're too close to the bus, we might be discovered, but if we're too far away, we won't be able to see anything. In conclusion, I think that building is the most suitable. "
When he said that, even the smiling man nodded subconsciously.
The middle-aged man could not argue with that, but he still felt unsettled. "You lead the way, and we'll follow behind."
"No problem, but you'd better not wander off." Chen Ge agreed easily. He carried the two large bags and walked at the front, and the doctor followed closely behind him.
"There's definitely something wrong with this man." The middle-aged man pulled on his wife's arm. His wife was like a puppet, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. She did not resist at all.
"I think he has a point." Seeing that the family of three did not move, the drunkard did not move either. From his perspective, this family of three was the least threatening, so he decided to stay with them.
"Listen, there's no problem. When we get there, it'll be too late for regrets. We'd better be careful." The middle-aged man picked up the boy. They walked toward Chen Ge, but they maintained a certain distance.
The smiling man was still the same, but he did not choose to follow Chen Ge. Instead, he walked to the other side of the road alone.
The blood fog was thick, and the people on this side of the road could only see a blurry figure.
Scissors was at the back of the group. His face was pale, and with every step he took, there would be two footsteps.
The group moved through the blood fog. When Chen Ge arrived at the building, someone tugged on his shirt.
He turned back to look and saw the doctor pull down his scarf. He whispered, "It's best not to enter the buildings inside the blood fog. It's fine if they're empty, but I'm afraid there might be something living inside."
"It's fine, I'll be careful." Chen Ge realized that the doctor was very knowledgeable. It was as if he had been to the world behind the door before.
The two of them entered the apartment building one after another. The corridor was pitch-black, and the walls were peeling. There was also a bloody mist that permeated the corridor. Just staying inside was enough to make one feel uncomfortable.
Creak …
The wooden door that gave off a strange smell was pushed open. Chen Ge did not miss any room.
"Do you really plan to explore every room?" The doctor had a strange expression on his face. "What if we run into something?"
"Actively looking for them is better than them suddenly appearing to find us." Chen Ge moved very fast. He did not stop for even a moment like he did not know the meaning of fear. He soon arrived at the highest floor of the building.
At the bottom of the building, the drunkard and the family of three were still lingering on the first floor. The group huddled together, not knowing whether they should move up or not.
"The guy seems to have run to the top floor already." The drunkard stood next to the stairs and looked up through the gap in the stairwell.
"Let's not go up. We'll stay on the first floor. We can escape at any moment." The middle-aged man was also very cowardly.
"Daddy …" The child in his arms seemed to have noticed something, and he stared at the dark corridor behind the middle-aged man.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." The drunkard was still looking up. The light was too dim, and he squinted his eyes. For some reason, he felt like there was something protruding out from one of the stairs, but it was unclear whether it was a decoration or something else.
"Let him lead the way, and we'll guard the back."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something else, but the child in his arms called out softly again. "Daddy …"
"What's that? I can hear you. Keep it down. "
"The handle of the door in the corridor is moving. Look, it's right there." The boy raised his hand and pointed down the corridor.
