"I keep feeling like there's someone else in my room, and his eyes are hiding in the gap between the dresser and the bed."
The girl was young, and she looked innocent. She seemed to like the color white. Her shirt, pants, shoes, and even her handbag were all white.
"Have you told your parents?" Sitting across from the girl was a boy about eighteen. He was handsome and gave off a sense of cleanliness.
"They're out of town, and they'll probably be back in a week." The girl picked up the drink in her hands and looked at the impurities that had settled at the bottom of the glass. "When I returned home last night, the voice-activated lights in the corridor were broken, and I could hear footsteps coming from behind me. He was following me in the dark."
"Someone's following you? Western Jiujiang hasn't been very safe recently. Let me send you home today, okay? I'm worried about you going back alone. "The boy's voice was very gentle.
The girl hesitated for a long time. She looked at the boy's almost perfect face, and something scary suddenly occurred to her. She stood up in a hurry. "It's okay, I'll go back on my own."
The sun slowly set outside the window. After the girl and the boy parted at the restaurant, she walked on the road alone.
"Could it be him?"
With that thought in her mind, the girl almost knocked into a billboard. She lifted her head to look and saw the notice on the billboard. "Recently, many young women have gone missing in our city. Attention all citizens! If you find them, please contact the local police station immediately! "
There was a missing person notice next to the notice. The missing people were all female, between the ages of fifteen to twenty-five. The notice detailed what they were wearing when they went missing, like pure white shoes and black dresses.
Looking at the pictures, the girl felt a chill on the back of her neck, and she whipped her head around to look behind her.
The street was crowded, but she did not see anyone strange.
"Why do I feel like there's someone watching me?"
The girl picked up her pace and hurried home.
The night fell, and the streetlights flickered. The girl heard footsteps behind her, and the person was getting closer.
She did not dare turn back. Gripping her bag, she ran into the building and rushed into the corridor.
The footsteps behind her did not disappear, but they followed her into the corridor. The person stopped hiding and moved faster and faster!
The voice-activated lights seemed to have been broken beforehand. No matter how loud they were, the corridor was still dark.
The girl ran in the dark. The familiar staircase now seemed like an endless maze.
"Ling Lan!"
A familiar and gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her, and the girl's movements gradually slowed down.
This was that boy's voice. She remembered it very clearly. It was because of that charming voice that she couldn't help but fall in love with him.
"Ling Lan, don't be afraid. I'm just worried about you. That's why I wanted to escort you back." A figure slowly approached from the darkness and gently grabbed the girl's hand.
"You've been following me?" The girl's voice changed. She looked at the familiar figure in the dark and flung his hand away.
"Ling Lan, listen to me. For the past few nights, my heart has been aching for some reason. There is a voice warning me …" The man wanted to say something else, but the girl ran up the stairs.
"Stop following me!" The door was slammed shut, and the girl entered one of the rooms on the top floor. Not long after she entered, the room was filled with loud music, as if someone had turned the volume of the TV to the maximum.
"Ling Lan, you've misunderstood. I …" The boy knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Several minutes later, just as the boy was about to leave, the closed door suddenly opened.
The girl's face appeared through the gap. Her dark eyes lit up when she saw the boy.
"Ling Lan, I'm really just worried about you." Seeing the girl finally open the door, the boy hurried forward to explain, but when he said the name Ling Lan, the girl's expression darkened.
The color in her eyes slowly faded, and she stared at the boy. "Why are you looking for my big sister?"
"Big sister?" The boy stopped at the door.
"My name is Ying Su, I'm Ling Lan's little sister." Ying Su's hunched back slowly straightened, and the boy saw that she was wearing a black dress.
"Can you call your big sister? I have something that I want to tell her. "
"She's taking a shower. It's not convenient for her to come out now." Ying Su kept staring at the boy, and the gaze was rather scary.
The sound of running water could be heard above the loud music. The boy pursed his lips. "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Can you help me pass a message to her? Tell her that I'll be waiting for her at the restaurant at Western Street tomorrow morning."
"Got it," Ying Su replied faintly and closed the door.
The corridor became dark again. The boy stood alone at the door of Ling Lan's home. He looked at the bag in his hand, which contained the present that he had prepared.
"Why does my heart hurt more the closer I get to this place?"
The memories between him and Ling Lan flashed across his mind. The boy gripped the railing and slowly walked down the stairs.
Ling Lan was one year older than the boy, and there was a special attraction about her like she represented all the unknowns in the world.
The boy's love for Ling Lan was pure and passionate, without any impurities.
She was the first person that he had fallen in love with, and Ling Lan was also the first person to tell him what love was.
That kind of love was like fire, lighting up everything, lighting up the soul.
There was no turning back, and there was no room for negotiation.
When the boy returned home, he hummed a song that he had composed and lay in bed.
Drowsiness washed over him like a wave. Just as the boy was about to fall asleep, he heard a voice.
"They're the murderers. Don't drink that drink, don't drink that drink …"
The next morning, the boy took the gift that he had not given out and hurried to the restaurant on Western Street early. He chose a table next to the window.
It was not until noon that the girl in the white coat finally showed up. She looked very tired and did not speak much. She was even quieter than usual.
After lunch, the boy suggested going to the movies, and the girl did not reject him.
Like usual, they did everything they wanted to do.
The girl's face revealed a smile that she had not seen in a long time. Her mood improved a lot.
When the sky was almost dark, the two reached the junction. This time, the boy did not say that he would take the girl home, but when the boy was about to leave, the girl reached out to grab the boy's hand.
"Last night, I felt that gaze again. He was hiding inside my room like he was trying to kill me." The girl raised her head. "Can you accompany me to inspect the room?"
Feeling the coldness in his palm, the boy gripped the girl's hand tightly. "Okay."
Crossing the street, the two leaned against each other as they entered the old residential area.
The dark building was like the open mouth of a monster, swallowing the two in one gulp.
The door closed. The boy stood inside the girl's home, and he appeared rather reserved.
"There's a drink on the coffee table. Why don't you take a seat on the sofa and rest? I'll go change. This dress is too uncomfortable." The girl entered the bedroom, and the boy carefully sat down on the sofa. His body was as straight as a pencil.
This was the first time he had been to the girl's home, and his bashfulness was very cute.
He looked around. The girl's home was very normal, and there was nothing special about it.
The boy slowly relaxed. He picked up the drink on the coffee table. When the glass touched his lips, he was suddenly reminded of something that he had heard the night before.
Don't drink that drink!
The voice had appeared in his half-awake state. It was familiar yet strange. It was just a few short sentences, but they appeared to have color and shape, like they represented a specific memory.
Slowly putting down the drink, the boy turned to look at the wall, and he accidentally saw a picture frame.
Inside the wooden frame was a picture of a family of four. Between the husband and wife stood two girls who looked almost the same. One of them was wearing a white T-shirt, and the other was wearing a black dress.
"What are you looking at?" The girl in white pajamas walked to the boy's side.
"Ling Lan, don't you have a twin sister? When I came yesterday, she was the one who opened the door for me. "
"Do you want to see her?" The girl's eyes scanned the drink on the coffee table. The glass had been moved, but the drink inside was still there.
"I'm just curious, she …" Before the boy could finish, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill come from his heart.
He slowly lowered his head and saw that a sharp knife had been stabbed into his chest.
Warm blood slid across her fair skin and dyed the girl's pure white pajamas red. A hysterical expression gradually appeared on her delicate face. "I'm Ying Su. You love Lily of the Valley so much. Why can't you tell me apart from her?"
Before she finished, Ling Lan walked out from the bedroom. Her bare feet stepped on the boy's blood.
The sharp knife kept stabbing into the boy's body. This was definitely not the first time they had done this. Every knife avoided the bones and stabbed into the boy's heart.
The gift box in his hand fell to the ground, and a tape fell into the pool of blood.
The boy's consciousness started to fade. Before the bone-piercing pain hit him, he saw a man standing behind the two girls. The man tried his best to stop the girls, but his arms passed through the girls' bodies again and again.
The man did not seem to belong to this world. He wanted to stop everything in this world, but he could not touch anything in this world.
"I seem to remember his voice …"
…
Opening his eyes, Chen Ge's fingers curled into fists and slammed them on the bed.
His body appeared to be extremely weak, and his face was pale.
"Boss, you've tried more than a hundred times already. Just give up. The reason Xu Yin is able to become a Demon God is because he has extreme love and extreme hatred. No one can save him from the cage of these two emotions. "Xiao Sun, who was wearing a white coat, stood next to Chen Ge.
"No, it's the wrong direction. I originally thought that as long as I killed the two girls or changed one of the parts in his memory, I would be able to stop the tragedy, but that was not the case. Even if he did not drink the drink, Xu Yin would still be killed." Chen Ge stood up. "I want to try again."
Hearing what Chen Ge said, a bitter smile appeared on Xiao Sun's face. "Boss, I know you want to use the cursed hospital's brain maze to save Xu Yin, but he is a Demon God. The brain maze that we created based on his memory is like an independent world. He is too powerful. The brain maze that we created is completely different from the other Specters' brain mazes. "
Xiao Sun looked at Xu Yin, who was lying at the deepest part of the cursed hospital. Countless names that symbolized curses were pressed under his body. This was a sleeping God.
"Earlier, you tried everything you could to kill the two girls, but you all failed. Xu Yin's past memory is carved into the deepest part of his spirit. We cannot even touch the memory there, much less change it." Xiao Sun waved his hands to dismiss the doctors around him. "Spirit is the foundation of a Specter's existence. If you want to save Xu Yin, then you need to change the spirit of a Demon God, and that is almost impossible."
"I've thought about it. In Xu Yin's brain maze, I cannot touch anyone, but I can touch myself." Chen Ge sat back down on the bed. "Let's stop wasting time. Call all the doctors over. We will give it another try."
"Boss, why don't you take a rest? You've entered the Demon God's brain maze more than one hundred times. If this continues, your consciousness will collapse, and if your consciousness collapses, you will not be able to return."
"I'll be fine."
Blood vessels crawled into Chen Ge's body, connecting him to the sleeping Xu Yin.
With the cooperation of all the doctors, Chen Ge was once again pulled into Xu Yin's brain maze.
…
Rubbing his dizzy head, Chen Ge opened his eyes. He was standing at the door of one of the hospitals.
This was the place where Xu Yin and Ling Lan first met. Xu Yin, who was accompanying his mother, ran into Ling Lan, who was bandaging her wounds at the hospital.
Chen Ge had experienced this scenario more than one hundred times. He knew every detail like the back of his hand.
Xu Yin's mother had passed away that night, and the wounds on Ling Lan's body had been inflicted by the victim during the murder.
Chen Ge did not know whether Ling Lan really liked Xu Yin or not. He only knew that Ling Lan had used Xu Yin's pain to inhabit his heart when Xu Yin was at his most helpless.
Inside Xu Yin's brain maze, Chen Ge could not change anything. He could not open the door, he could not pick up anything from this world, and he could not harm the people in this world.
He was like the only ghost in this world. No one could see him, no one knew of his existence because he did not belong to this memory that represented the past.
Calculating the time in his heart, Chen Ge waited for the moment Xu Yin appeared and immediately followed behind Xu Yin.
After more than one hundred attempts, Chen Ge had a deeper understanding of Xu Yin. This boy was kind and sunny. His heart was as clean as a lake on a plateau.
But this kind of person had met Ling Lan.
For the initial Xu Yin, Ling Lan might have been a ray of light that shone into his life.
Ling Lan took care of Xu Yin like an older sister. She was meticulous, gentle, and considerate. It was hard to imagine that this woman was actually a murderer whose hands were stained with blood. She specialized in targeting beautiful young women in the middle of the night.
Silently following Xu Yin's footsteps, Chen Ge watched as Xu Yin and Ling Lan's relationship slowly grew closer.
This time, he did not interfere. Everything developed according to Xu Yin's memories.
On the thirtieth day of Xu Yin and Ling Lan's relationship, Ying Su appeared. Both sisters fell in love with Xu Yin at the same time.
More accurately, two madmen with bloody hands fell in love with the same person at the same time.
They quarreled and hurt each other. In the end, they decided to split Xu Yin in their own way.
That night, the older sister, Ling Lan, confessed to Xu Yin and invited Xu Yin to her home the next day.
Chen Ge stood by the side. He saw with his own eyes how happy Xu Yin was. That was probably the happiest day in his memory.
But on the other side, the two sisters were sharpening knives and mixing drinks in the middle of the night.
The next day, Xu Yin changed into new clothes and walked out of his room with the song he had recorded with all his heart.
That day was sunny. Chen Ge silently followed the big boy. Even though he had experienced this hundreds of times, he still could not help but feel uncomfortable.
Humming, Xu Yin arrived at Ling Lan's house. When he opened the door, Chen Ge walked in with him.
Chen Ge had seen what happened next many times. He did not hysterically stop the other party. He did not even say a word.
It was not until Xu Yin chose his sister, Ling Lan, that Chen Ge took a deep breath as he slowly raised the cup of specially made drink.
"The brain maze is woven from your memory. I can't walk into your past, I can't change the things that have hurt you. I've come here again and again just to tell you that there is still someone waiting for you to smile. "
Chen Ge could not touch anything in this world, so this time, he raised his hand and placed it on his chest. His fingertips pressed against the gap between his ribs and slowly pierced into his heart.
"Protecting is another of your obsessions. Perhaps I can use this method to let you hear the voice in my heart." Blood dripped through the gap between his fingers. The finger completely sank into his chest. Veins popped on Chen Ge's face, but he did not seem to feel the pain. "Don't drink that drink anymore. Don't repeat this nightmare. The pain is over! You should walk out from the shackles of the past! Xu Yin! Can you hear my voice? "
His bones broke, and Chen Ge's face paled. His body became transparent, and his consciousness started to blur.
In the middle of the room, Xu Yin who was holding the drink suddenly stopped moving. He slowly bent down and held his chest.
"So painful …"
"What's wrong?" Ling Lan and Ying Su walked over.
Xu Yin's eyes slowly turned red. He suddenly raised his head to look at the empty room.
The pain from his heart made him lose control of his body. He gripped the edge of the sofa tightly.
Familiar yet strange memories appeared. As the pain in his heart intensified, the voice in his ears became clearer.
"I told you that I will save every single one of you. Xu Yin, come home with me."
The voice was so gentle that Xu Yin almost unconsciously raised his head. "Who are you?"
The heart-gouging pain blurred the world. The moment Xu Yin raised his head, he saw a young man standing in the living room. He had stabbed his hand into his heart. He was covered in blood, but there was a gentle smile on his face.
"I am Chen Ge."
The bloodied body toppled backward. At the same time, Xu Yin's world started to change.
…
Forcing his eyes open, Chen Ge did not even have the strength to sit up on the bed. His head felt like it was being torn apart, and pain kept coming from it.
"This is a miracle! Xu Yin's brain maze is changing! He seems to be actively trying to break free from the cage weaved by extreme love and hatred! " Xiao Sun was obviously excited. He looked at the cursed hospital that kept shaking. He was not worried that the place would collapse at all. "Boss, how did you do this?"
"Looks like it is working." Chen Ge grabbed Xiao Sun's white coat. "Send me into Xu Yin's brain maze now, and I will know how to save him!"
"Now?" Xiao Sun shook his head decisively. "Definitely not. Your body is too weak. It feels like you have reached your limit."
"I will try one last time!" Chen Ge's eyes were filled with determination. "This is a chance that I cannot miss."
"You are willing to risk your life for a ghost. I really do not understand you." Xiao Sun had all the doctors gather beside the bed again. They used many blood vessels to connect Chen Ge and Xu Yin together.
Curse, fear, pain, and many other negative emotions connected the human and ghost's bodies.
Enduring the pain that was tearing his body apart, Chen Ge once again appeared inside Xu Yin's brain maze.
His body was wavering like it was about to dissipate.
"My will is indeed reaching its limit." Chen Ge gritted his teeth. He estimated the time and was about to walk into the hospital when he noticed that something was wrong.
The streets were crowded with people and carriages, but there was no sound. The whole city was eerily quiet.
"What is going on?" Chen Ge walked through the silent crowd and entered the hospital.
He walked past the sickrooms and finally saw the helpless Xu Yin at the corner of the corridor.
Ling Lan was standing next to Xu Yin. She kept saying something, but Xu Yin did not seem to hear her.
"Why is he different from how I remember him?"
With confusion, Chen Ge walked to stand before Xu Yin. He looked at the boy who was squatting in the corner, and the memories kept surging in his mind.
At the same time, he possessed extreme hatred and extreme love. Every time Xu Yin attacked, it was like he was trying to destroy himself. He was in so much pain that Chen Ge had not seen a smile on his face before.
The memories flashed. Chen Ge slowly squatted down before Xu Yin. He said softly, "Xu Yin, I have come to take you home."
Chen Ge's voice was not loud, but the whole city was silent. Only Chen Ge's voice could be heard.
Slowly lifting his head, the irresolvable sadness and pain in Xu Yin's eyes dissipated. The silent cage of the city started to crumble. He gripped Chen Ge's hand tightly.
The world is so silent because I have been waiting for your voice.
