The shrill sound of a cat's cry drilled into his ears. Chen Ge's hand holding Ying Tong was already soaked with calmness. He couldn't see anything, but he knew that Ying Chen was in the corridor, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

"Yingchen? Don't you usually like taking the elevator? Why are you interested in climbing the stairs today?" The voice of the lady in the skirt came from the corridor on the sixth floor. Perhaps the shock of seeing the human head had not completely dissipated, and her voice trembled a little.

"I seemed to hear someone talking in the corridor just now, so I came up to take a look. By the way, why are you here?" Ying Chen's voice sounded at the corner of the stairs. At this time, Chen Ge and Ying Tong were less than five meters away from him. If he walked up a few more steps, he should be able to see Chen Ge and Ying Tong, who were pressed against the wall.

"Amu's medicine is out of use, and I want to see if Miss Hong has any." The lady in the skirt slowly calmed down, and the reason she gave was very convincing.

"Oh, to get the medicine." Ying Chen's tone was obviously relaxed, and he smiled: "It must be hard to take care of Amu. Soon I won't have to bother you anymore. I have already contacted the welfare agency and will send them all out in a few days."

While the two were talking, Chen Ge and Ying Tong quietly moved their feet, walking up little by little in the darkness. At this time, if they made any sound, they would be discovered by Ying Chen.

"Are you going to send Amu away?" There was a hint of nervousness in the lady in the skirt's voice. After she knew Yingchen's true face, she simply couldn't face Yingchen as usual.

"Yeah, I feel bad for always asking you to take care of those kids." Ying Chen's voice appeared on the sixth floor. He seemed to walk in front of the lady in the skirt: "After all, those kids would become like that..."

Yingchen's voice became lower and lower, and the lady in the skirt didn't hear it clearly: "What did you say?"

"I said that after all, those children became like that..." Yingchen seemed to stick close to the lady in the skirt: "It's all because of me!"

“Bang!”

The lady in the skirt hit her body heavily against the wall. A whimpering sound came from inside the floor, and her mouth seemed to be blocked by something.

"Shh, keep quiet, don't be nervous, I won't cut your neck here." Ying Chen's voice rang out in the corridor. As usual, it gave people a very comfortable feeling, as if he was playing games with a child.

"Just now downstairs, I heard you say the word 'human head'? You don't need to answer, just nod or shake your head."

"Didn't you say that?"

"If you do this again, I won't like you anymore. I have always admired your straightforwardness, just like you have always admired my enthusiasm and selflessness."

"Let me ask you again, did you say the word 'human head'?"

"So you really said it. Since you said the word 'human head', then you must have seen my damn brother. He was the one who secretly took the head from my locker."

"Then comes the second question. My brother should be nearby. Is he upstairs, behind a door, or hiding in the cleaning closet?"

"Did I use too much force? Your bulging eyes seemed to glance upstairs accidentally?"

"Don't worry, I won't go looking for him. I've imagined the feeling of strangling your neck like this countless times. My rough palms strangling such a soft neck, my finger bones pressing on your veins, shrinking a little bit, and then watching your expression slowly change. How could I bear to leave?"

"You're like an elegant cat. No, you're going to be the most beautiful cat I've ever adopted."

The sound in the corridor gradually died down, and Chen Ge and Ying Tong had already reached the seventh floor.

"Each floor is named after a date. The whole building is like a cycle that cannot be escaped. That is to say, if you go up to the seventh floor, you may end up on the first floor again."

The lady in the skirt lives on the first floor, and Amu is still in the room.

"Ying Chen knows that Lady in Skirt has seen Ying Tong, so he will definitely not feel comfortable leaving Amu in Lady in Skirt's room. He will definitely go look for Amu."

"I now have two choices. I will go into the lady's room first and find Amu, but there are two disadvantages to this. First, Amu may not open the door for me, and knocking on the door may cause more trouble. Second, after I enter the lady's house, Yingchen may be waiting outside."

Time was running out and Chen Ge had no more time to think. Yingchen walked without making any sound, but the cat's meow was always there in his ears, and the distance between them and Yingchen did not widen.

"If we let Yingchen take Amu away, it will be more difficult to find Amu in the future. He might even kill Amu directly! Once he does this, Yingtong's memory may be lost forever. If for this reason, Yingtong cannot open her eyes behind the door, it will be too bad." Chen Ge pulled Yingtong's hand and continued to move forward, but Yingtong had no intention of going up: "Yingtong? Come on, follow me."

"Let's separate. Everyone who wanted to help me is dead. I..."

"Don't stop." Chen Ge didn't want to discuss anything with Ying Tong here. He lowered his voice and walked across the seventh floor holding Ying Tong's arm.

Stepping onto the new stairs, Chen Ge found the home of the lady in the skirt based on his memory.

I knocked gently on the door, and as the knocks echoed in the corridor, the cat's meow gradually became louder.

In addition to the cat's meow, Chen Ge also heard another sound, as if something heavy was being dragged on the ground.

"Amu? Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Sweat broke out on his forehead, the cat's cry tortured his nerves, Chen Ge's heartbeat kept accelerating, and the sound of his knocking on the door gradually became louder. At this moment, he didn't care about being exposed.

Now that you have made a choice, you must bear the consequences of your choice. In this building, the consequence of making the wrong choice is death.

"Amu! Amu!"

Footsteps were heard in the house, and at the same time the sound of dragging a heavy object disappeared, replaced by an increasingly shrill cat's meow!

Yingchen has thrown away the body and is running towards here at full speed!

"Amu!"

The door lock opened with a sound, and at the same time, Chen Ge grabbed Ying Tong's hand and rushed into the house.

He didn't dare to hesitate at all. He leaned forward and entered the house. He immediately touched the security door and closed it!

"Don't talk! Don't talk!"

Chen Ge sat on the ground with his back against the security door, holding his backpack tightly in both hands.

In the darkness, the cat's screams echoed in my ears, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

There was a knock on the door, and Chen Ge's heart tightened. He leaned his back against the security door, and cold sweat kept pouring down. It was not until this moment that he suddenly remembered something very horrifying: "Yingchen killed the lady in the skirt! The lady in the skirt might have the key to this room!"

There is always a loophole in a perfect plan. In such an extreme situation, Chen Ge could not avoid some loopholes in his thinking. His nerves had been tense since he entered this world, especially at that moment just now.

"Calm down, calm down! The lady in the skirt didn't bring her phone with her. She might not have brought her keys either, since she left in a hurry."

Chen Ge didn't spend much time with the lady in the skirt, and he felt that she was a carefree person.

Besides, Amu couldn't leave the house, and there was always someone in the house, so there was a high probability that she didn't carry the key with her.

The knocks on the door and the meows of cats mixed together. Chen Ge's heart beat very fast. He hadn't felt this way for a long time.

I didn't even dare to breathe hard, and half a minute passed like this. The knocking on the door finally stopped, but the cat's meowing did not end.

Yingchen was still guarding outside the door. He might be standing in a blind spot that the peephole of the security door could not see.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the cat's meowing gradually faded away.

"Cunning, vicious, and extremely patient, this bastard is too difficult to deal with."

Chen Ge did not waste time. He still stood guard at the door, holding his back against it. "Ying Chen will definitely come again. He heard the knock on the door just now and rushed over as quickly as possible. The cat's meowing became louder and louder, but the sound of dragging heavy objects stopped. This means that he put down the lady in the skirt and chose to come to me first. He may have gone back to look for the key on the lady in the skirt."

"The sound of the heavy object being dragged stopped in the corridor on the seventh floor. It only takes about ten seconds for him to go back and forth. I have no way of taking Ying Tong and A Mu away in this time. I can only stay here."

Standing up, Chen Ge stumbled towards the living room. He grabbed the edge of the sofa with both hands and tried his best to move it to the door.

"Amu, do you see if the sofa is blocking the door?" Chen Ge couldn't see and could only ask Amu for help.

"It's blocked, but after you block it, how can the lady in the skirt get in?"

"Did the lady in the skirt take her keys with her when she left?"

"I don't know, I think I did."

Amu's words made Chen Ge feel discouraged. He blocked the security door with a sofa, and then found a mop to prop up the door lock.

"You two should stay away from the door. Amu, go get the phone from the lady in the skirt."

"good."

As soon as Amu agreed, the cat's meowing sounded again. What was worse was that in addition to the cat's meowing sound, there was also the sound of a girl singing in the music box.

"Yingchen and his helpers are outside the door!"

The key was inserted into the lock, and the spring turned a little bit. The slight sound gave Chen Ge goose bumps on his neck.

With a slight sound, the door lock was opened!

But when the other party wanted to press the door handle to push the door open, he found that he couldn't push it at all.

The door panel vibrated, and Chen Ge stood beside the sofa, propping it up with his body.

"Is the lady in the skirt back?" Amu's voice was trembling because the person outside the door was very rude.

"It was Yingchen. He is the one who turned you into what you are now." Chen Ge lowered his voice.

"Yingchen? But the adults around me said that he was taking care of me. He was the first to find me. If it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago."

"From the moment you understood the meaning of the word 'death', you should have realized that something was wrong, Amu. You have forgotten a lot of things. Maybe you should talk more with Ying Tong." Chen Ge suggested in a low voice. In fact, he also wanted to hear what kind of person Ying Chen was mentioned by Ying Tong.

The door panel shook for a long time, but in the end, under Chen Ge's protection, the other party did not enter the house.

The cat's screams continued through the door, and a man's weak voice could be heard in the sound: "I found the key and came over. It took less than a minute. The people in the house blocked the door. Whether it was making a judgment in such a short time or moving a large object, these two abilities were not possessed by Ying Tong. In addition to the woman in this building, there was another adult helping him."

Chen Ge has super-ears and facial features far superior to those of ordinary people. After losing his vision, his other senses seem to have been enhanced to a certain extent, so even if the other person's voice is very low, he can still hear roughly.

"Why do you want to help that bad kid Ying Tong?" Another voice sounded. Chen Ge had heard this voice before. It was the voice of the kid who pushed him down the stairs.

"Maybe that person was deceived by Ying Tong. You know, Ying Tong is a bad kid who loves to lie." Ying Chen continued, "I'll stay here. You go to room 204 on the second floor and take a look."

The sound of the music box has disappeared, but the cat's meow is still there. Yingchen's helpers seem to have left, but Yingchen is still guarding outside. He is really a very patient "hunter".

Chen Ge heard the conversation outside the door, and almost at the same time, he whispered to Amu to bring the lady in the skirt's cell phone over and asked him to call Mr. Mu.

The moment the call was connected, Chen Ge immediately spoke: "Don't say anything, I can just talk. Ying Chen killed the lady in the skirt, and he trapped me, A Mu, and Ying Tong in the room. His next target is you or Miss Hong. Someone will come to your door later. You can watch from the peephole in advance, but don't open the door. That kid is in cahoots with Ying Chen."

After hearing what Chen Ge said, Mr. Mu's breathing changed noticeably. He really couldn't accept that Ying Chen had killed the lady in the skirt.

"Miss Hong and I have no connection, so you have to call Miss Hong later to inform her of this matter and tell her not to leave the room or open the door to anyone."

"The last thing I want to say is that you should always carry your cell phone with you. Only if we cooperate with each other can we all survive. Please believe me!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and Mr. Mu replied with two words: "Understood."

Everything returned to calm, but Chen Ge knew that the danger was not far away. He returned the phone to Amu and found that neither Amu nor Yingtong spoke: "Yingtong, tell me about your brother. Tell me everything you know."

The living room was very quiet and Ying Tong still didn't speak.

"Are you worried about something?" Chen Ge whispered, "Don't be afraid. Only if you tell us the truth can we help you."

"It's useless." It seemed that the death of the lady in the skirt made Ying Tong feel very guilty and painful: "Everyone who hears the truth will die. Only by not seeing and knowing nothing can you survive. I don't want to hurt you."

"Is this why you are not blind but dare not open your eyes?" Chen Ge held Ying Tong's hand: "But many people in this building already know the truth. Everyone wants to help you. Your world is not completely dark. There is light here too."

"Light?"

"Ying Chen showed you the ultimate cruelty and inescapable evil. He killed one person after another to prove the darkness to you. But even so, there are still people who stand up to help you, such as the lady in the skirt, the cleaner Aunt Wu, and me." Chen Ge held Ying Tong's hand tightly: "Believe me, no matter what, I will take you away. The world outside is very beautiful. There are all kinds of colors there, and there is also a sea of ​​light."

In this world shrouded in eternal night, without a single ray of light, a blind man tightly holds the hand of another blind man and tells him the story of light.
