It was a simple movement, but for the current Chen Ge, it was quite taxing. His head felt heavy, and there seemed to be many things pressing on his body. There was a force trying to pull him back.
Chen Ge had no idea what was hiding in the dark, and he had no idea whether there were ghosts around him or not. Actually, not being able to see was not a bad thing. At least it would not add to the panic.
It took him several minutes to walk from the 17th floor to the 18th floor.
When Chen Ge reached the 18th floor, he almost tripped.
My body is so cold, and my head is so dizzy.
Chen Ge was very tired, and the exhaustion came from his mind. It felt like he had been working for more than ten hours straight.
I should be on the top floor now. Chen Ge leaned against the wall, and he still did not open his eyes.
For safety's sake, he bent down and used his hands to touch the ground and the wall. He did not miss a single corner.
He had finally reached the top, and he could not afford to make any mistakes at the last moment.
While Chen Ge was searching, the sound of a door opening came from downstairs. The sound was very abrupt in the quiet corridor.
The steel door was slowly pushed open, and two footsteps appeared in the corridor.
"Someone is going up?" Chen Ge's heart skipped a beat. The sound of the door opening came from around the 14th or 15th floor. Are the neighbors chasing after me?
The footsteps were urgent, and they quickly approached the top floor. It felt like they were forcing Chen Ge to open his eyes and end the mission.
The sound has reached the 16th floor.
Chen Ge's forehead was covered in sweat. He leaned against the wall, and his heart was anxious.
Should I open my eyes? Theoretically speaking, I've already reached the top floor, and I haven't found the stairs that lead me up.
When he hesitated, the footsteps had reached the 17th floor. Chen Ge stood in the corner. He faced the stairwell, and his eyes were still closed.
The footsteps picked up speed. They appeared at the corner between the 17th and 18th floor. In other words, they had already seen Chen Ge.
I've been discovered, but the footsteps haven't stopped. Their target shouldn't be me.
The familiar child's laughter echoed in his ears. Soon, the footsteps passed Chen Ge, and then one of the doors on the 18th floor was opened!
The wind blew on Chen Ge's face, and the exhaustion slowly dissipated like the thing that was lying on him had left him.
Is it over?
He wanted to open his eyes, but he could still hear the footsteps and the child's laughter.
The laughter gave him an indescribable feeling. he could not feel the joy from it. It was hollow, and it was just a laugh.
Feeling his way to the open door, Chen Ge stood at the door, and a child's voice came from the other side.
"Uncle, I had another dream. In the dream, there was a blood-red city floating in the black sea. The people who came and went in the city held knives. They cut off their own bodies and buried all their memories."
"Uncle, the memory appears because of people to be, but people have forgotten about be to be to be."
"Uncle, are you listening to me?"
The child's voice was right before Chen Ge. In fact, Chen Ge had a feeling that the child was talking to him. He was about to say something when a strange man's voice appeared.
"I'm listening." The man's voice was emotionless and cold like a machine. "The memory will not be angry. When it appears, it is destined to be forgotten. That is the end of the memory."
"Destined to be forgotten?"
"Yes, just like you." After the man said that, the child laughed again.
"Why do you like to laugh so much?" There was a trace of annoyance in the man's voice.
"Because I'm happy. My dad told me that everything I see is a nightmare. Those horrible things are all dreams, and they will disappear after I wake up. Shouldn't I be happy about that?" The child's voice was innocent.
"Nightmare?" The man's tone turned even colder. "If one day, you realize that those are not nightmares and everything you see in your dreams is real, will you still be able to laugh?"
"I don't know. Perhaps."
"Then if you realize that one day, you have been forgotten in that blood red city and will never be able to return, will you still be able to laugh like this?"
"I …"
"You definitely won't be able to smile anymore. You will curse madly. Just like the memories that have been abandoned by their master, you will be wrapped in negative emotions and sink deeper and deeper into that black ocean." There was a trace of excitement in the man's voice. His cold tone hid a slightly twisted soul.
"No, I won't." The child's childish voice contained a maturity that did not match his age. He seemed to think about it for a long time before he continued. "If one day, I am really forgotten in the nightmare, I will draw many windows on that black ocean and push open many doors in that blood red city. I will let all the eyes that are used to the darkness see light."
When the boy said the last word, Chen Ge suddenly felt that the sentence was very familiar like he had said it before.
His eyelids twitched, and Chen Ge subconsciously took a step forward. Out of instinct, he wanted to grab hold of the voice.
"Where there is light, there must be darkness. If you want the darkness to see light, then the light will be dimmed." The man appeared to have grabbed hold of the child.
"Let go of me!"
"The one who should let go is you. Do not come back!"
"Let go! Help! Help! "
"You will eventually be forgotten, so don't worry, go to hell!"
When the man said that, Chen Ge's body was frozen, and a voice was screaming inside his heart.
"Help!"
His closed eyes flew open. Chen Ge saw at the edge of the building, there was a doctor in a white coat who was pushing his young self down from the roof!
He rushed to the edge of the building, but when he reached his hand out, everything disappeared.
All the energy in his body was drained. Chen Ge collapsed at the edge of the building. His clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
"When I was doing that nightmare mission at the tunnel, I saw my young self being killed. This is the second time. The killer's back is almost the same, so it should be the same person. He is wearing a doctor's uniform, so he is probably the doctor from Xin Hai, but why would he want to kill me? What is the meaning of their conversation? "
His head was splitting. After closing his eyes for so long, Chen Ge was still not used to it.
He curled up against the wall and rubbed his eyes. When his vision returned to normal, he turned to his side and tried to grab the white cat.
But when he turned his head halfway, his body froze.
Two thin arms were placed before his face, and the shirt that was as red as blood almost touched the tip of Chen Ge's nose.
A Red Specter was clinging to Chen Ge's shoulder and leaning on his back!
"The half-open door at Jiang Yuan Apartments was left behind by you, right?" A child's voice came from behind Chen Ge.
"I don't remember." It was not until then that Chen Ge saw the white cat that was about to cry on his shoulder. The cat did not dare move. Those who did not know might have thought it was a specimen.
The white cat had been there, but it did not warn him. This meant that the Red Specter had probably appeared when he closed his eyes.
The white cat was lying on his left shoulder, so perhaps he was lying on his right shoulder?
