The situation had reached its worst point, but Chen Ge not only did not give up hope, he even encouraged the people around him.
Since he got the black cell phone, he has experienced too many desperate situations. The pain and disasters have tempered his nerves and made him possess psychological qualities that ordinary people simply cannot possess.
"Ying Tong, leave this building, walk out of that door, and you can see the outside world. You don't have to isolate yourself anymore."
Few people would talk to Ying Tong about the outside world. The colorful and light-lit place that Chen Ge described made Ying Tong yearn for it.
The child gradually perked up and began to tell Amu the story of his brother.
As early as Ying Tong could remember, his mother had forbade him to play with Ying Chen. Whenever the two brothers were together, one of his parents would always be watching.
At that time, Ying Tong just felt it was strange. He liked playing with his brother very much. His brother was a very interesting person. He could always think of many new games. He had a lot of friends in the community and everyone liked to be with him. Ying Tong was like Ying Chen's follower at that time.
When the parents saw that the two brothers had such a good relationship, they were not happy but very worried.
Ying Tong was born with an eye problem and his eyesight is far worse than other children. Whenever he goes out to play, his brother takes care of him, and he is very grateful to his brother.
But one day after they came back from playing hide-and-seek, Yingtong's mother angrily pulled Yingtong into the room. Outside the room, Yingchen's crying and shouting were heard, as if his father was beating Yingchen.
Ying Tong in the room didn't understand the reason, and he even pleaded with his mother not to beat his brother.
Her mother did not tell Ying Tong's brother why he was beaten. He later found out what happened that day through the nanny.
When they were playing hide-and-seek, Ying Chen pulled Ying Tong and secretly ran out of the residential building and slipped into a building that had not yet been built. Then Ying Chen let Ying Tong stand on the balcony on the third floor.
There was no guardrail installed on that balcony. If Ying Tong had moved around at that time, she would have probably fallen down. Fortunately, the workers saw it and stopped her in time.
Ying Tong couldn't understand why his brother did that. He felt scared and always had nightmares and couldn't sleep. The young boy remembered the warnings his parents had given him, and the image of his brother in his mind was slowly changing.
About a few months later, Ying Tong woke up in the morning and suddenly found his brother's room empty. His parents told him that his brother had been sent away for treatment.
Young Ying Tong's understanding of the disease was still at the physiological level, and he did not read much from his parents' sad expressions.
Another half a year passed, that is, one month before Ying Tong's parents had the accident, Ying Chen was taken back home.
After treatment, Yingchen became more "normal" than a normal person. Seeing Yingchen like this, Yingtong's father always felt worried.
A month later, Ying Tong's parents were in a car accident, and Ying Chen and Ying Tong began to be taken care of by relatives.
According to Ying Tong, although the relative was a bit greedy and stingy, he was a nice person and took great care of the two brothers. This was completely different from the description of the relative given by Ying Chen outside the door.
Because his parents died early, Ying Tong was much more mature than other children of the same age. When he was five years old, he understood that death meant eternal departure.
During the time she lived with her relatives, Ying Tong gradually discovered another side of her brother.
Yingchen had a special hobby. He liked to make insect specimens, dismember insects, and then reassemble them. There were many similar specimens in his bedroom.
This hobby continued for a while, and suddenly one day, Ying Tong saw a stuffed bird in Ying Chen's bedroom.
In order to perfectly restore the appearance of a bird when it was alive, a lot of tools are needed. Ying Tong opened Ying Chen's drawer, which was filled with all kinds of strange and weird things.
He told his relatives about this matter, but relatives were outsiders after all and did not interfere with Yingchen's hobbies.
In the days that followed, Yingchen came home later and later from school, and he always had wounds on his body, some of which were scratches from cats, and some were bruises.
This went on for a long time, and suddenly one day people from the community came to the door, suspecting that their relatives were abusing Ying Chen and Ying Tong.
Although Ying Tong tried her best to deny it, it was unknown what Ying Chen said to the people in the community. Those people did not believe Ying Tong's words, but instead felt very sympathetic towards Ying Tong.
The relative was warned by the community, and that night he had a heated argument with Yingchen. As a result, people from the community came again the next day.
Yingchen joined many anti-domestic violence group chats, and it was also from that time that he started to manage social media accounts. He portrayed himself as a poor child whose home was occupied by outsiders.
The matter became more and more serious, and after about half a year, the relatives were driven away.
Ying Tong clearly remembers what happened that day. Before leaving, the relative entered his mobile phone number into Ying Tong's blind mobile phone and told Ying Tong something.
When Ying Tong was still a baby, Ying Chen once sneaked to Ying Tong's crib. No one knew what he wanted to do that day, only that he was holding something in his hand.
This matter was told by Yingchen's father to Yingchen's attending physician, who later told this matter to Yingchen's relatives. As one of the parties involved, Ying Tong was the last one to know about it.
Ying Tong also felt scared, and he distanced himself from his brother from that day on. However, his brother still enthusiastically invited him to go out and play as usual, but he never went out with his brother again.
After the relatives left, Yingchen became more unscrupulous, and all kinds of strange smells began to appear in the room. However, Yingchen did not do anything to hurt Yingtong at that time, and he even took good care of Yingtong.
He helped Ying Tong massage her eyes every day, and then asked Ying Tong how her eyesight was recovering.
In fact, after early treatment, Ying Tong's vision has been partially restored, but he did not dare to tell his brother about it. Just like when he was a child, he kept telling Ying Chen that he could not see anything.
Ying Tong was lying, and the scary thing was that Ying Chen might have known that he was lying but did not expose the lie.
From bugs to birds to stray cats, when Ying Tong thought his brother would not do anything more extreme, he found blood-stained hair in his brother's bag.
Yingchen came home later and later, so he replaced the locks of several rooms with new ones and kept the keys in his own hands.
Ying Tong hid in his room. He could always hear the door outside opening in the middle of the night, Ying Chen's footsteps wandering between the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, and occasionally he could hear some terrifying noises.
This went on for a while, and late one night when Yingchen went out to "take out the trash", Yingtong found that Yingchen's bedroom door was not closed. He entered and saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
An arm stretched out from under Yingchen's bed. It was a processed corpse.
Ying Tong did not elaborate on what happened later that night. He only told Chen Ge and Amu that from that moment on, he made up his mind to escape.
Ying Tong didn't have the key to the house, so he was usually locked in the house by his brother. Until his sixth birthday, Ying Chen said that his relatives came to see him, and were waiting for him downstairs with gifts and cake.
Ying Tong left home full of hope, but when he got downstairs he didn't see his relatives. He took out his mobile phone for the blind and dialed the number reserved by his relatives. After a few rings, his brother's voice suddenly appeared on the phone. You look back.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw his brother standing not far from him holding a mobile phone and a pair of scissors.
That kind of fear could not be hidden, especially for a six-year-old child. Ying Chen saw the changes in Ying Tong's expression clearly.
Ying Chen knew that Ying Tong was not completely blind, so he decided to transform his brother according to his own ideas.
When Ying Tong said this, A'mu in the hut had another attack. He cried, shouted, and was having trouble breathing, as if something sharp was stabbing his eyes again and again, and someone was forcing him to open his eyes and see.
The door kept shaking, and Ying Tong told Amu the real reason why the other party had a phobia of sharp weapons.
The night of his sixth birthday was one of the memories he least wanted to recall.
"I have escaped three times in total, and Ying Chen warned me in three different ways." Ying Tong's voice sounded beside the sofa: "Now I am escaping for the fourth time, and I don't know what he will do to me next."
"Your first escape caused you to suffer from a fear of sharp weapons, and you developed the stress-bearing personality of Amu. There are also Aying and Atong in the building. These three people should correspond to your three escape experiences." Chen Ge held the sofa against his back and tried his best to block the door. Amu in the house had lost control and was panting heavily. If he continued to delay, his life might be in danger: "Yingtong, go to the bedroom. I remember that the lady in the skirt gave Amu medicine in the bedroom. There may be some remaining pills on the table."
Chen Ge talked for a long time, but Ying Tong did not move, he still stood there.
"Ying Tong?"
Amu's screams in the house became louder and louder, the door shook more and more violently, and the minister outside the door seemed a little anxious.
Among all the people, only Ying Tong stood in the living room indifferently, like a bystander.
Chen Ge wanted to pat Amu's back to comfort her, but when his hand touched Amu, he found that Amu's body was twisted, just like the dolls placed on Ying Tong's bedside table.
"What's going on?"
"I remembered something when I was talking to Amu just now." Ying Tong's voice sounded again, and he stood beside Chen Ge: "Do you know what the medicine Ying Chen gave them is made of?"
"What is it made of?" Chen Ge didn't know why Ying Tong suddenly asked this. The most urgent task at the moment was to save people.
"With my blood and my flesh." Ying Tong gave a somewhat horrifying answer: "Amu is my pain, my fear, my anxiety. He is my obedient self in front of Ying Chen..."
The amplitude of the door panel's vibration continued to increase. Hearing Amu's heart-wrenching screams, Yingchen seemed to become a little anxious.
"They are me, and I am them. I will accept their pain because they are an inseparable part of me. I have been looking for them in the building. Only when I find them can I be considered a complete person and no longer be a freak who was 'dismembered' by Yingchen."
Ying Tong supported Chen Ge with her hands, and then hugged the thin Amu.
He hugged his past self and listened to the screams he had made in the past. This went on for a long time. When the screams disappeared in the house, Chen Ge and Ying Tong both felt a piercing pain.
The darkness before my eyes seemed to be dispelled a little, and I could vaguely see a little light.
Because he is afraid of Ying Chen, Ying Tong has to pretend to be blind even if his eyesight is restored. If he wants to open his eyes, he must first overcome his fear of Ying Chen.
Only by accepting the horrific memories of the past can you have the opportunity to open your eyes.
A-Mu disappeared, and only a twisted puppet was left beside Chen Ge and Ying Tong, whom they touched with their hands.
This puppet is short, with pits all over his face, and has a very ugly face.
Chen Ge put the doll into Ying Tong's bag. He felt a little complicated.
Amu was accepted by Ying Tong, and a blurry light appeared in the sight of Ying Tong and Chen Ge. Their vision recovered a little, but only a little.
"It seems that only by finding A Ying and Atong can my eyesight be restored."
Amu, the only person in the room who was not blind, was turned into a puppet, and Yingchen blocked the door. Not only did the situation not change, it got worse.
Chen Ge took the phone of the lady in the skirt. He could feel the phone but he couldn't see it. In his sight, in the pitch-black world, there was only a very faint light in the distance.
"Amu found Mr. Mu's phone number through the address book. After Mr. Mu and I finished talking, the phone should return to the address book page." Chen Ge was about to try to call Mr. Mu when the sound of the door panel shaking violently suddenly disappeared.
The shrill cat cry gradually became smaller, and Yingchen seemed to be moving away from the door at a rapid speed.
"He left?"
It was impossible for Yingchen not to hear such a loud noise in the house. He must know that Amu had been accepted by Yingtong, and he would definitely go look for the other two children next.
Chen Ge held the backpack in one hand and Ying Tong in the other. He knew the opportunity had come.
"I'm on the first floor, Miss Hong is on the sixth floor, and Mr. Mu lives on the second floor. If Ying Chen runs to the second floor, I'll go downstairs to find Miss Hong. If Ying Chen goes to find Miss Hong, I'll go to the second floor to find Mr. Mu. I'll probably have about ten seconds."
This room is too dangerous, and the security door could be opened at any time, so Chen Ge had to make plans early: "Ying Tong, be prepared. No matter what happens, you must hold on to me."
Chen Ge concentrated his attention, he moved to the door and grabbed the door handle.
The cat's meow became quieter and quieter, but what surprised Chen Ge was that the meow did not disappear.
Yingchen left, but he stopped not far from this door. He might be hiding somewhere in the corridor now.
"This guy wants to wait for me to open the door before coming over?"
After a few minutes, the cat's meowing disappeared completely, but Chen Ge didn't dare to go out.
"Ying Chen is keeping his distance. He seems to have realized something. Although he has left now, there may be another person standing outside the door." Chen Ge held his breath and listened attentively: "If the words he said outside the door before were deliberately told to me. It seems that his helper went to the second floor, but in fact, his helper may have turned off the music box and stood outside the door all the time."
