"Why did this happen? Most mental illnesses have a triggering factor. It's impossible for him to get this disease for no reason."

Many people have phobias, but few are so severe.

The child in the inner room seemed to have reached the point where he could not get rid of his fear on his own without taking medication, and this situation was very dangerous.

"You're right, but I don't know how the child got sick. I'm just looking after him for someone else." The woman spoke slowly. After the boy in the inner room took the medicine, he seemed to be in much better condition, and the woman also relaxed.

"He has a mental illness. If we want to alleviate the symptoms, we must find the cause." Chen Ge took a few steps towards where the woman was. He couldn't see anything and could only move closer by feeling the wall.

"I also wanted to find the cause of the disease, but no matter how I asked, the child just wouldn't tell me. It seemed like he didn't know either." The woman's voice was somewhat helpless: "Then I gave up."

"Can I talk to him for a few words? I specialize in studying mental illnesses." Chen Ge was very glad that he had met Dr. Gao. His tone and demeanor were very similar to those of Dr. Gao before he turned evil.

A psychologist must first let the patient let down his guard before he can slowly enter the other person's world. Chen Ge meets this condition very well in terms of both appearance and the feeling he gives.

"Are you a psychiatrist? I remember there's no one in this building who's engaged in this profession. Are you new here?"

"I guess so. I can assure you that I have no ill intentions." Chen Ge pointed to his eyes with a wry smile: "I can't see anything and I have no ability to resist. If I do something that makes you unhappy, you can chase me away at any time."

Being blind has made Chen Ge vulnerable, and he is making the most of this weakness.

"The child is quite fragile, just don't talk nonsense." The woman took the initiative to grab Chen Ge's arm: "Slow down, there is a sofa in front, go left..."

Chen Ge discovered a problem. These adult residents were not as bad as the monsters in other worlds behind the door. Of course, they were not good either. They gave Chen Ge the feeling of ordinary people in life: "I really don't want to associate them with corpses."

Led by the woman, Chen Ge entered the inner room. The stench in the air became stronger. What was worse was that there was a stench of rotting meat, which was not smelled in the middle-aged man's room.

"By the way, can you tell me what your relationship with this child is?"

"Relationship?" The woman thought for a while and gave an answer that Chen Ge had not thought of before: "We are friends. He has nowhere to go, so I will take care of him first."

The woman's answer was ambiguous. She walked out after she finished speaking, leaving Chen Ge and the boy in the inner room.

Touching the wall and the closet, Chen Ge's legs touched the bed. He sat down slowly: "Can you hear me? I'm sorry, I can't see you. If you are next to me, can you say a word or pat my hand gently?"

Chen Ge spread out his palms and waited for a long time when he suddenly felt a hint of coolness on his palms. That kind of coolness was different from the cold feeling of a corpse. It felt very soft to the touch, and it didn't feel like being touched by anyone at all. It felt more like a gust of cold wind blowing by.

"Ying Tong?"

Chen Ge subconsciously said the name, but received no response. A moment later, a boy's voice came from more than a meter away from Chen Ge: "My name is Amu."

The boy's voice is 50% to 60% similar to Ying Tong's voice in real life, and is very childish.

Chen Ge had read the information about Ying Chen and Ying Tong. In reality, Ying Tong was already ten years old, but the voice of the child in front of him sounded more like that of a four or five-year-old child.

"Amu, can you tell uncle how you met that big sister outside?" Chen Ge wanted to find out the adult's identity first. If the woman could be trusted, he would try his best to win her over to his side. It was too dangerous to be alone in the building.

"You mean the lady in the skirt?" the boy asked timidly.

"Ms. Skirt?" The boy's name for a woman was very strange. It felt like the boy had just come up with the name. "Do you usually call her that?"

"Well, Ms. Skirt and Mr. Wood have been taking care of me. They are very nice people. They play games with me and do various things with me." The boy's voice was innocent and cute, but Chen Ge got goosebumps when he heard it.

In his opinion, all the residents in the building except Ying Tong and Ying Chen were corpses.

Names like Ms. Skirt and Mr. Wood were obviously given by children themselves. A guess emerged in his mind, but because it was too cruel, he didn't dare to tell this guess to test Amu.

"Are Ms. Skirt and Mr. Wood husband and wife?" Chen Ge asked casually.

"No, the skirt lady likes to get angry very easily and has a bad temper. Mr. Wood doesn't like her very much." The little boy said timidly, "Mr. Wood and I are both a little afraid of the skirt lady."

"I heard everything!" The woman's voice came from the living room: "Who taught you this?"

The woman does seem to have a bad temper.

"Although the lady in the skirt has a bad temper, she also has a gentle side. Whenever I'm sick, she'll appear to take care of me, chat with me, and tell me stories." The picture the boy described was very beautiful, and he might have had a smile on his face when he said this. Unfortunately, Chen Ge couldn't see anything and could only hear the child's voice.

"She always appears every time you are sick? Did your father and mother ask her to take care of you?" Chen Ge tried to open the boy's memory bit by bit.

"Yes, my father and mother went to a faraway place, and when they left, they asked Ms. Skirt, Mr. Wood, and Miss Red to take care of me."

"Three people?" Although he said three people, what Chen Ge was thinking about were three corpses.

"Amu, can you tell your uncle what the three of them look like?" Chen Ge did not ask anything that would cause pain to the boy. He did not mention the phobia of sharp weapons, nor did he ask how the boy got the disease. Instead, he followed the fairy tale told by the boy, as if he was a most loyal listener.

"Ms. Skirt is always wearing a long skirt with many flowers embroidered on it, and each flower feels different to the touch; Mr. Wood doesn't like to talk, and his skin feels hard, just like tree bark. Miss Red is very clean, and her hair is always wet. She really likes red, and everything around her is red." The boy was not introverted and seemed to love communicating with people. He mentioned the names and characteristics of the three people as if to show off.

Chen Ge didn't pay much attention to the introductions of Miss Skirt and Mr. Wood, but the last one, Miss Red, caught Chen Ge's attention.

The features of Lady in the Skirt and Mr. Wood can be felt by hand, except for Miss Red, whose name contains the word "red", a color that cannot be distinguished by the blind.

The boy in front of him called himself Amu. As the lady in the skirt had said before, the child had normal eyes and was not blind. Logically, he could not be Ying Tong.

But when Chen Ge heard the boy's voice, he felt that it was very similar to Ying Tong's. There couldn't be such a coincidence in the world. He believed that the boy must be related to Ying Tong, but something happened in between.

Chen Ge asked some more information about the boy's parents. From what the boy said, he could tell that the boy missed his parents very much.

In the boy’s memory, his parents were very kind to him, caring for him meticulously and taking care of him at all times. The boy’s parents were like a pair of gentle big hands gently protecting him in their palms.

At this point, Chen Ge had already discovered the problem. The boy had retained a lot of beautiful things in his memory. He had a very good past. Looking back at the disease he had now, it felt very abrupt.

Why would a child living in such a warm environment develop a phobia of sharp objects?

Why did he imagine someone was trying to blind his eyes with sharp objects whenever he saw them?

What exactly did he go through? When did the most critical change in his life begin?

After gaining a general understanding of the boy's living conditions, Chen Ge carefully asked the next question: "Amu, do you know Ying Chen and Ying Tong who live on the seventh floor?"

"No, I stayed in the house the whole time and never went out."

"Don't know him?" To confirm, Chen Ge asked the lady in the skirt in the living room, "Has Amu never left this room?"

"Yes, he suffers from a fear of sharp objects. Not to mention seeing sharp objects, even hearing the words sharp and sharp will cause him to react. How can I let him go out without worry?" The voice of the lady in the skirt came from the living room, and then Chen Ge heard the sound of pouring water. After a while, footsteps sounded again: "Would you like something to drink?"

“No thanks.” Chen Ge didn’t dare to drink water poured by a stranger, especially when he couldn’t see. “Amu doesn’t know Ying Tong and Ying Chen, but as a resident here, you should know the two brothers, right?”

"Of course, the two brothers are very pitiful. Their parents died early, and they were raised by their relatives." The lady in the skirt seemed to know Ying Chen and Ying Tong very well.

"So what's your impression of the two brothers?" Chen Ge finally found a "person" who was willing to communicate with him, and quickly seized the opportunity to ask.

"His brother is a good person. He is enthusiastic, kind, and especially likes small animals. He works hard and has excellent grades. He is the type I like. As for his brother, I am not sure about him. I feel like he is a burden. He is blind, unable to take care of himself, and always likes to say inexplicable things. He seems mentally ill." The words of the lady in the skirt made Chen Ge feel deeply uneasy. In the lady in the skirt's mind, Ying Chen was perfect, while Ying Tong's image was very bad.

"Sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true." Chen Ge felt that even if he told the other party directly that Ying Chen was a murderer, the other party would definitely not believe it.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you are also blind. I don't mean to discriminate against blind people, it's just that his younger brother has a really bad personality. He has always been taken care of by his brother and relied on his brother for a living, but he is always looking for trouble and always sneaking out. He never thinks about how he, a blind man, will live if he leaves his brother." The lady in the skirt spoke very directly.

"You hate Ying Tong so much? Do you think Ying Tong looks a lot like A'mu?" Chen Ge couldn't see, but he felt that he could guess something just from the voice. However, the lady in the skirt seemed to have not noticed any connection between A'mu and Ying Tong.

"Don't be ridiculous. Amu just celebrated his sixth birthday, and Yingtong is almost ten years old. Their body shapes and heights are completely different."

"I was talking about appearance, why do you mention height?" Chen Ge wanted to verify his guess, so he kept asking.

"It's hard to tell from his appearance. Ying Tong's face is scary, completely different from Amu." The next words from the lady in the skirt made Chen Ge feel a chill: "Ying Tong rarely goes out. I remember the first time he ran away from home, he fell from a pile of rubble and scraped a large piece of skin off his face. A nail was stuck near his eye. If his brother hadn't found him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"Disfigured?" Chen Ge felt that this was an accident created by Ying Chen. Ying Tong might have known it herself, which was why she escaped again and again.

But the reality is that Ying Tong escaped again and again, but was caught by Ying Chen again and again.

What he was experiencing now was exactly what Ying Tong had experienced. It was really difficult for a blind person to avoid Ying Chen.

"Okay, although their looks and heights are different, have you noticed that their voices are very similar?" Chen Ge still didn't give up. He had finally met a reliable "person" and really didn't want to give up.

"Their voices are a little bit similar, but that doesn't mean anything. It's normal for little boys to have similar voices before their voice changes."

"Why can't I explain it to you clearly?" Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Okay, let's not discuss this issue. Then tell me what the situation is with Amu's parents? Why did they ask you to take care of Amu?"

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" The lady in the skirt seemed a little dissatisfied with Chen Ge. She grabbed Chen Ge's arm and dragged him out of the inner room.

"What do you want to do?"

The woman closed the door to the inner room and made sure that Amu couldn't hear her before she whispered, "Didn't Amu tell you that his parents went to a faraway place? Why do you still ask such a question? I really doubt whether you are a psychiatrist."

"Are Amu's parents dead?"

"Yes, A-Mu is an orphan. Yingchen saw him outside the community. He was helpless and had no one to take care of him. Finally, several owners in our community got together and decided to adopt him together."

"They?" Chen Ge caught the key words in the woman's words.

"They are triplets, Amu, Atong, and Aying. All three children were found by Yingchen. He felt sorry for the children, but he was unable to take care of them, so he wanted us to take care of them first, and then send the three children to an orphanage after the formalities are completed." Chen Ge took a breath of cold air at what the lady in the skirt said.

"These three children were entrusted to you by Yingchen to take care of?"

"What do you think? In today's cold and indifferent society, there are few people as selfless and kind as Yingchen. He runs around for these three children and devotes a lot of time and energy to them." The lady in the skirt had a very good impression of Yingchen, which could not be changed by just a few words.

"Do these three children all suffer from some kind of disease?" Chen Ge looked beyond the surface and asked a key point.

"How did you know? That's right, they have no physical defects, and they must have been adopted long ago." The lady in the skirt whispered, "Amu suffers from sharp weapon phobia; Atong suffers from severe claustrophobia, and will go crazy if he stays in a room alone; Aying's disease is even more rare, called scream phobia, and he will get sick when he hears screams and screams."

"Have you ever thought about why these three children got this disease? And why was Yingchen the first to discover them?"

"I haven't thought about this question. It may be related to the child's biological parents."

"But in Amu's memory, his parents treated him very well. That is the warmest part of his memory."

Having said this, Chen Ge's face had turned very bad.

Based on just these few clues, he came up with a very bold guess in his mind.

Lady in Skirt, Mr. Wood and Miss Red were all victims killed by Ying Chen in real life. The imprisoned Ying Tong knew the truth, but he dared not tell anyone. In the end, he even became "friends" with the three corpses.

In Chen Ge's opinion, although Ying Tong had eye problems, he was not completely blind.

The child lived under Yingchen's evil taste and suffered from many mental illnesses, but he knew very well that he could only survive as a blind man, so he sealed up his fragility, fear and his only remaining good memories, forming the innocent Amu, Aying and Atong.

As for himself, he honestly acted like a blind man, constantly looking for a way to escape.
