"Looking for you? Why would that woman look for you?" Chen Ge also walked to the window. The faceless woman with a red hairpin was approaching them deliberately.
"I don't know either, I don't know her!" Wu Jinpeng didn't look like he was lying. There was only fear in his eyes when he looked at the woman, without any other emotions mixed in.
"Then why are you so afraid of this woman?" Chen Ge asked another question that he couldn't understand: "Does she want to kill you? What will happen if she catches up with you?"
Hearing Chen Ge's question, Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge with a strange look: "Being chased by a faceless woman is a very terrifying thing. Brother, if I was really caught up by her, would I still be alive and talking to you here?"
"What I mean is that there is no need for us to keep hiding from her. If we don't understand her, we will never be able to defeat her and she will catch up with us sooner or later." Before Chen Ge could convince Wu Jinpeng, the faceless woman had already come downstairs. She slowly raised her head, which had been lowered, and looked up.
The featureless face was directed at Wu Jinpeng, and the woman seemed to ignore Chen Ge next to her.
The red hairpin seemed to be dripping with blood, and the woman's ill-fitting maternity dress dragged on the ground.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!" Wu Jinpeng dragged Chen Ge into the next room and said, "Wait until she comes up, then we'll jump down from the second floor! As long as we disappear from her sight, we'll have some peace."
This was not the first time Wu Jinpeng had done this. He was very skilled in the movements, and his body, which was much stronger than in real life, was enough for him to perform many difficult moves. Even jumping from the second floor would not be a big problem.
“Come down quickly!”
Standing by the window, Chen Ge hesitated for a moment, but just after such a short delay, the door behind him suddenly began to vibrate, as if something was hitting the door.
He had no better idea, so he picked up his backpack and climbed out the window.
Chen Ge landed on the ground with both feet and rolled over to relieve the force. He didn't have time to check if the items in his backpack were damaged. He heard Wu Jinpeng's urging voice.
The two men got up from the ground and ran as fast as they could to the other side of the street.
"Where are we going now?"
"I don't know. No matter where we run, we will be caught up. We can only stay away from her as much as possible, wait for her to come, and then escape to some other place." Wu Jinpeng ran as fast as he could, panting heavily, without even looking back. He didn't know when he could get rid of danger. It seemed as if the whole world was against him. There were monsters all around him, and he was being chased by a faceless woman who he could not get rid of. Even breathing was a luxury.
Chen Ge looked at the running Wu Jinpeng, whose back overlapped with the real Wu Jinpeng.
This man must have had such an experience of being at a loss and not knowing what to do, being busy every day, carrying responsibilities, and being chased forward madly by life.
Perhaps the Wu Jinpeng in reality had already forgotten everything, but Wu Sheng had remembered everything.
This child is somewhat precocious and understands a lot of things, but he doesn't fully understand them.
At the critical moment when he was establishing his worldview, he was induced by the ghost fetus and underwent some changes.
The world behind the door of the children is related to reality. Everything in the scene can be found with corresponding people and things. This should be considered the characteristic of the world behind the door of the nine children.
The intricate relationship between the illusory world behind the door and reality seems to indicate that the ghost fetus is gradually walking out from behind the door into reality.
In Chen Ge's opinion, all nine children were affected by the ghost fetus.
Following Wu Jinpeng with his backpack, Chen Ge's brain was working rapidly. The existing evidence almost proved that each child corresponded to a door, and this door would only appear after the child fell asleep.
However, among the nine children, Chen Ge himself was an exception. If a door appeared beside his bed while he was asleep, Xiao Xiao and the white cat would definitely react.
There was no door beside the bed after he fell asleep, but this did not exclude Chen Ge from the nine children, because there was a real blood door next to him.
Compared to the imaginary doors of other children, the door in the toilet of Chen Ge’s horror house is a real bloody door.
"Do you really want me to go in through that door and take a look?"
Chen Ge recalled a moment in the past when he seemed to see three doors in a trance.
"One door should belong to the dead fetus, one door may belong to me who is constantly being killed by doctors, so who does the last door belong to?"
"Aren't doors only opened when one is most desperate and in pain? Did I open the third door myself? Did I open the door in the bathroom of the horror house?"
Even with several red-clothed people, Chen Ge still didn't have the courage to enter that door. He still remembered what Doctor Gao said in the underground morgue.
"The thing behind the door must be very terrifying to scare Dr. Gao like that." Chen Ge decided to leave the door of his haunted house open until the last night. If the ghost fetus was not hidden in the other eight children, then this was the only possibility left.
He knew that the probability of the ghost fetus hiding behind the door of his haunted house was very small. After all, the ghost fetus' main activity range was the eastern suburbs, and the ghosts who had contact with the ghost fetus said that it regarded the western suburbs as a restricted area. Chen Ge did not think that it would venture into the door of his haunted house under such circumstances.
"No clues, no clues." Chen Ge sighed softly: "What kind of mood did the first person who opened the door have?"
Pushing these thoughts out of his mind, Chen Ge looked behind him. The faceless woman was still chasing after him, but not very fast. She didn't look like she was full of hatred and wanted to kill Wu Jinpeng.
Under the leadership of Wu Jinpeng, Chen Ge ran through the streets nearby, and he became more and more certain that this was the old city.
"Wu Sheng definitely lived in the old city before. The thing he least wanted to recall happened here. It was also because of that incident that his family moved to the western suburbs." The world behind Wu Sheng's door consists of several streets, which is probably only one-fifth the size of the old city in reality, and there are limited places to hide.
If they want to avoid the faceless woman, they have to enter the houses on both sides of the street, but entering the houses will attract the monsters in the houses. They keep hiding, and gradually some monsters come out of the room and start chasing them.
"How can I escape?" The fear in Wu Jinpeng's eyes almost overflowed from his eyes. His tall and strong body began to tremble when facing countless monsters.
"We have almost run through the streets in the east. How about we go to the west to hide first?" After Chen Ge followed Wu Jinpeng for a few laps, he found that Wu Jinpeng would not go west no matter how dangerous the situation was. He deliberately avoided the streets in the west.
"No!" Wu Jinpeng refused directly. His decisive answer only increased Chen Ge's suspicion.
"No problem, I'll listen to you." Chen Ge could probably guess why the other party didn't forget to go west, and he could also understand Wu Jinpeng's painstaking efforts.
"As long as we hold on until dawn, everything will be fine and everyone will return to normal." Wu Jinpeng kept comforting himself: "As long as we can get through the night, the day will always come."
"Well, the day will eventually come." Chen Ge patted Wu Jinpeng on the shoulder: "If we can't go to the west, I suggest we look for a way out on the streets in the east first."
"Okay." Wu Jinpeng had just agreed when a burst of rapid dog barking suddenly came from the street in the west.
Hearing this voice, Wu Jinpeng's face changed suddenly. He no longer cared about anything and immediately ran towards the west street.
"What happened?" Chen Ge also hurried over. He had Yin pupils and could see several figures appearing on the street in the west from a distance: "Don't go over there!"
Chen Ge's reaction was fast enough, but he still failed to stop Wu Jinpeng. He rushed into an alley on West Street regardless of everything.
At the end of the alley, there was a shabby storage room with a drafty wooden door half open. A little boy stood helplessly at the door.
He was much thinner than other children of the same age, and wore ill-fitting clothes. His beautiful big eyes kept blinking, and he seemed to be curious about everything.
Wu Jinpeng was relieved to see that the child was fine. He called Chen Ge, picked up the child and hid in the hut.
"Dad, Dahuang ran away." The child's voice was very low and he seemed to speak very little.
"You stay in the room, Dad will go get Dahuang." Wu Jinpeng touched the little boy's head. There was no trace of fear in him. His eyes were calm and gentle, but he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
"Yeah." The boy nodded obediently.
While the father and son were talking, the miserable dog barking sound was heard again, and this time it was very close to them.
In addition to the barking of dogs, the noisy voices of people gradually increased, and all kinds of harsh sounds penetrated into Chen Ge's ears.
"Where did this stray dog come from? What if it bites someone? Is there no one to take care of it?"
"My child is still young. Who will be responsible if he gets hurt? Who will be responsible?"
"Get out of here, you damn dog! I'm really upset!"
"Beat it! My mom said stray dogs are full of infectious diseases!"
At first Chen Ge thought that he was the only one who could hear these sounds. When he turned around, he found that Wu Jinpeng and the little boy should be able to hear them. Wu Jinpeng had already covered the little boy's ears with his hands.
He still had a smile on his face as he gently held the little boy in his arms.
"Dad, they are beating Da Huang. They say Da Huang is a stray dog."
"Don't worry, Dad will go and rescue Da Huang right away. You just stay here obediently." Wu Jinpeng grabbed Wu Sheng's hands and asked Wu Sheng to cover his ears: "Close your eyes. When you open your eyes again, Da Huang will be back."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Seeing Wu Sheng covering his ears and closing his eyes, Wu Jinpeng stood up.
"You're not really going over there, are you?" Chen Ge had dark pupils and he could see clearly that there were more than a dozen figures standing on the street.
"I promised my son." Wu Jinpeng pushed open the wooden door that let in air. "Brother, can you do me a favor later?"
"What's the matter?"
"I'll go get their attention. After I lead them away, you go and rescue Da Huang."
"good."
Wu Jinpeng and Chen Ge ran out of the hut one after another. Wu Jinpeng, who was walking in front, did not look back, while Chen Ge, who was walking behind, glanced towards the hut. The little boy still did as his father said, closing his eyes and covering his ears with his hands.
The sound of shouting and cursing in my ears was getting louder and louder. Dahuang kept screaming. A group of people gathered on the street, and they seemed to be ready to beat Dahuang to death on the street.
"Don't let it escape!"
"Kill it!"
"This stray dog runs pretty fast!"
"Your legs are broken, where else do you want to go?"
"The stray dog is rummaging through the garbage dump for food every day. It's full of viruses! Stop playing around, kill it now!"
All kinds of sounds entered Chen Ge's ears, sounding extremely harsh, as if they were not sounds at all, but knives.
"stop!"
One after another, the twisted figures moved out of the way. Wu Jinpeng saw Da Huang, who was covered in stitches, in the crowd. His eyes instantly turned red: "Da Huang is not a stray dog! He is my dog! He has never hurt anyone, and he never looks for food in the garbage dump!"
Hearing Wu Jinpeng's voice, all the figures turned around and looked at him. Their cold eyes fell on Wu Jinpeng, but no one cared what he said. The needle and thread continued to pass through Dahuang's body.
"I will take good care of it! My child has been playing with it and has never been hurt. Dahuang is very well behaved. Please give it back to me."
From the voice to the tone, every word was so real, as if Wu Jinpeng had said the same thing in real life and Wu Sheng had remembered it in his heart.
"Give it to you? How can a homeless person like you guarantee that this beast won't hurt anyone? You should take care of yourself first."
"It's so funny. Aren't dogs raised by homeless people just stray dogs?"
"Yeah, I think he'll find food in the garbage."
The voice became increasingly harsh, and Wu Jinpeng's body kept shaking, but he still said rationally: "My child is in poor health, and the dog is his only playmate. To us, the dog is like a family member."
"You have a child? Are you begging for money with your child?"
"No wonder he doesn't want people to say that the dog is a stray dog. If a dog raised by a homeless person is a stray dog, then isn't a child raised by a homeless person a stray child?"
"My child is not a stray child!" Wu Jinpeng's hands were shaking, his eyes were red, and he grabbed the debris on the ground and threw it at the group of people: "As long as I am alive, my dog is not a stray dog, and my child is not a stray child!"
One after another, twisted figures stared at Wu Jinpeng. The mouths of those monsters were all sewn up with needle and thread, but for some reason, even though their mouths were sewn up, the piercing sound did not disappear.
After being attacked, the monsters all took out long needles and black threads from their pockets and rushed towards Wu Jinpeng.
As planned, Wu Jinpeng led the monster away. At this time, Chen Ge walked out from the other side and picked up Da Huang who was lying on the ground.
Dahuang's body was covered with stitches and blood was flowing from all over the body. It had been beaten to death.
This Dahuang has a different fur color from the real Dahuang. If everything really happened, the real Dahuang should be the second dog Wu Jinpeng adopted later.
Holding the dead dog in his arms, Chen Ge looked up at the dilapidated hut. The boy in the hut was still covering his ears, but his eyes were open.
He witnessed everything, and his curious eyes were now staring at the dog in Chen Ge's arms.
"This scene really had a big impact on Wu Sheng."
Chen Ge didn't know what to do. He felt that if he went back now, it would be too cruel to the child. Even in the world behind the door, he didn't want Wu Sheng to experience that kind of despair again.
"A child who doesn't know what death means yet, is he going to see death in this way?"
Chen Ge put Da Huang's body into his backpack, then returned to the cabin holding the backpack in his hands.
"Where's Dahuang?" The child looked up at Chen Ge.
"It was a little sleepy and fell asleep."
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard in the alley, and Wu Jinpeng pushed open the wooden door: "Let's get rid of them for now. I'll lead them all to East Street later."
"I'll go with you. You can't handle it alone."
"Thank you very much." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge with gratitude. When he was about to leave, the edge of his clothes was suddenly grabbed by the little boy.
"Why are they chasing you?" the boy looked at Wu Jinpeng.
"Dad is playing hide-and-seek with them. Do you want to play with them?" Wu Jinpeng touched the little boy's head.
"kindness."
"Then you hide in this wooden box, don't run around, and don't make any noise, do you understand?"
"I understand." The little boy jumped into the wooden box and sat obediently in a corner of the box.
Wu Jinpeng gently pinched the boy's nose and said, "Don't get caught, little brat. You must hold on until your dad comes."
