"Help me."

"I'm here, behind you."

"Take me away, help me..."

A woman's voice was mixed in with the crying. Chen Ge felt that the voice sounded familiar. "I think I heard it in Liwan Town."

Chen Ge only had an impression. He would never look back at this time. He didn't even know what the black fog was. The best way to face the unknown was to hide in a safe place and observe it, rather than going deep into it and risking his life.

The sound behind him was getting closer and closer, so Chen Ge quickened his pace. However, the faster he ran, the faster the sound chased him.

When he was about to enter the iron gate, the woman's voice changed, and all her words turned into screams, piercing through the black fog like sharp arrows and stabbing into his body.

“Get out of the way!”

Chen Ge didn't care about anything else and ran as fast as he could. The moment he entered the building, the terrifying sound disappeared.

He looked back and everything in the black fog returned to normal. The voice just now seemed to be just his own hallucination.

"Wen Qing, did you hear a woman's voice in the building?"

"No." Wen Qing shook her head: "I only saw you disappear in the black fog. It was vague, as if something was following you on tiptoe. I reminded you loudly, but you didn't react at all."

"This black fog seems to be more dangerous than the city shrouded in blood. That city can drive people desperate and crazy, but this black ocean can make people completely lost." Looking at the shadows floating in the black fog, Chen Ge covered his heart. He didn't know why he felt as if he had experienced the scene just now.

"Make people lost? Did Xiang Nuan get lost in this fog?" Wen Qing's eyes were full of worry.

"As long as he doesn't leave this community, we still have a chance to find him." Chen Ge closed the door to the rooftop and stuffed the headless clay sculpture into his coat pocket: "It's time to leave."

Back on the first floor, Chen Ge had just walked to the door of Grandpa Huang's house when the security door opened.

Mr. Huang, who had a severe hunchback, stood at the door. He seemed to have been standing behind the door and had been waiting for Chen Ge for a long time.

"You knew I was coming?"

Uncle Huang didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the house. When he passed the dining table, he picked up the kitchen knife on it.

He was so skinny that he picked up a kitchen knife and chopped hard on the wall next to the bedroom.

The blade cut into the wall, blood oozed out, and a wound appeared on the wall and the old man's body at the same time.

As he chopped down with his sword, the wall was torn into pieces and he became covered in bruises.

His bony hands no longer had the strength to swing the kitchen knife, and Mr. Huang fell to the ground.

"What's going on!" Xiao Sun put down the family portrait and ran over quickly, but Grandpa Huang seemed to be dying.

"Keeping secrets for others and enduring inner torment, that wall seems to be made of his flesh and blood." Chen Ge entered the house with his bag. "Now that the murderer is dead, there is no need for Mr. Huang to keep secrets."

When he reached the bedroom, Chen Ge stopped for several seconds before moving forward.

There were two bedrooms in the house, one of which was occupied by someone, and the door of the other bedroom was blocked with flesh and blood, with corpses piled inside.

"Initially, only the landlord's family lived in that house. The landlord didn't want to be separated from his family, so he would come to visit occasionally. But I didn't expect that the landlord would bring more and more 'people'." Grandpa Huang was dying, and with his last breath he said, "Perhaps I shouldn't have agreed to keep the secret for him from the beginning."

The scene in the bedroom was like hell. This was where all the evil in Building A of Jinhua Community began. It was also the first secret in the building.

Pushing away the dumbfounded Xiao Sun, Chen Ge entered the bedroom and squeezed into the "crowd".

"You subconsciously think that the landlord is a good person, but have you ever thought about this possibility? What if his family members did not die in an accident?"

Chen Ge found the bodies of the landlord's family, but unfortunately he couldn't tell anything from them, and these bodies were not the source of the stench.

"What on earth is emitting this smell that has been bothering me for so long?" Chen Ge stood alone in the "crowd", and his actions scared everyone around him.

Concentrating his attention, Chen Ge closed his eyes. He used the gifted sense of smell he gained from the black phone to grope around in the bedroom, and slowly found the place in the house where the stench was the strongest.

When Chen Ge opened his eyes, he saw a rag doll's arm.

The doll's arms were covered in blood and dirt, and the stuffing inside the arms was not the normal stuffing available on the market, but various garbage and bird corpses.

"What is this?"

Just as Chen Ge was about to pick up the broken arm of the rag doll, a feeling of extreme danger emerged in his mind, and then the whole building shook slightly as if there was an earthquake.

"The broken arm of the rag doll is the source of all the bad smells?" Before Chen Ge could figure it out, he heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang". The big iron door in the corridor was knocked from the outside.

Chen Ge stood up and did not touch the arm again. The knocking sound and vibration outside the building also disappeared instantly.

"It can affect the entire community. When I was about to pick it up just now, I felt like something in my mind was about to wake up. This should not be Xiang Nuan's thing, it is very likely to be from the ghost fetus."

There was no such situation behind the other doors, so Chen Ge had to be cautious.

"Back in Liwan Town, Shadow separated Xiaobu's body into several buildings like this and used Xiaobu to complete his conspiracy. Everything is too similar. The broken hand of this rag doll might be the same as Xiaobu at that time. The ghost fetus separated it into different buildings as the cornerstone of stabilizing this community."

Chen Ge remembered the location of the severed hand and decided to leave immediately to look in other buildings.

After walking out of the "crowd", Chen Ge was also stained with the stench. It was estimated that the stench would not dissipate until he left this door.

"Someone was knocking on the door outside the building just now. Could they have discovered something unusual inside the building?"

"We'll know when we go out and take a look." Chen Ge looked at Xiao Sun while holding his backpack. "Are you going to leave with me and find the truth? Or do you want to stay in the building and wait for the neighbors in other buildings to come and find you?"

"I feel like you don't leave me any choice." Xiao Sun helped Grandpa Huang to the bed: "I'll leave with you, but someone has to stay to take care of them, right?"

"Granny Li, please stay." Chen Ge placed Granny Li's bowl next to Grandpa Huang: "Grandma, I'll leave this to you. If we can find a way out alive, we will definitely come back to pick you up."

He gestured for a long time before Granny Li stopped following him.

"Isn't this old lady crazy?" Xiao Sun whispered beside him.

"She pretended to be crazy just to survive in the building. What's so surprising about that? There are definitely more people pretending to be crazy in real life than behind the door." Chen Ge came to the entrance of the corridor and found the key to unlock it. "The road between the two buildings will be very dangerous. You must follow me closely and hold on to my shoulders. Don't let go."

The key was inserted into the keyhole, and with a crisp sound, the iron lock on the door was opened.

“Follow me!”

Chen Ge took out the skull crusher from his backpack and plunged into the black fog without hesitation. Xiao Sun and Wen Qing stood closely behind him.

Chen Ge's five senses, which were far superior to those of ordinary people, were brought to the limit. Before he opened the door, he had roughly determined his target through the window. The nearest building to Building A in Jinhua Community was a six-story building.

This building is located right between two high-rise buildings A and B in Jinhua Community, and its location is very unique.

The community behind the gate is different from the real one. Although the number has not changed, the appearance and location of the buildings have all changed.

Several buildings in Jiuhong Community are attached to two buildings in Jinhua Community, twisted and tilted against each other, like several giant corpses in strange shapes.

Just a few meters after walking out of the corridor, Chen Ge saw a human-shaped shadow appear not far away, and the other party seemed to have not discovered them yet.

"I seemed to hear someone calling my name?" Xiao Sun said in a low voice.

"Shut up if you don't want to die." Chen Ge didn't even turn his head, holding the handle of the skull crusher, and his pace became faster and faster.

The entrance to the staircase behind me was slowly obscured by black fog. The buildings in front of me became hazy at this moment. It seemed as if the world was completely shrouded in black fog and nothing could be seen.

Chen Ge could feel two different forces coming from his shoulders. Wen Qing and Xiao Sun were very nervous and scared at this moment. They regarded Chen Ge as their only hope.

The distance between the two buildings was only a dozen meters, but Chen Ge and his companions felt like they had walked for a long time.

“Almost there!”

Chen Ge has Yin pupils, and he vaguely saw the outline of the corridor. The building in front of him was much more dilapidated than Building A in Jinhua Community.

"This is a residential building in Jiuhong Community. Even in reality, it is a more chaotic place than Jinhua Community."

Maybe it was because Wen Qing and Xiao Sun shared the pressure, Chen Ge was not affected by the monsters in the black fog this time. He realized something was wrong after entering the corridor.

"Are you two okay?"

Chen Ge's shoulder was scratched by Wen Qing. The woman's face was pale and her eyes were empty, as if she had just seen something very terrifying. At this moment, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Xiao Sun's condition was even worse. There were five more wounds on his back, as if a hand had grabbed him from behind, but he didn't feel anything at all.

Blood kept flowing out, and Xiao Sun's clothes were stained red. The five wounds were very shallow, but they could not heal.

"When I turned around just now, I saw someone following me. He was obviously very close to me, but I couldn't see his face. It was as if he didn't exist and was just a gathering of black fog." Xiao Sun came into close contact with the monster in the black fog, and his words provided Chen Ge with some clues.

"Do you feel anything strange in your back?"

"It just hurts. It hurts like hell."

"Bear with it." Chen Ge had no better idea. He looked at Wen Qing again: "Are you feeling better? Did you see something scary just now?"

“I saw above our heads…” The fear in Wen Qing’s eyes almost overflowed: “It was full of human heads. They were tearing at a large area of ​​shadows. Some of them discovered us and were looking at us in the black fog…”

"Heads? Can you tell me more specifically?"

"I can't explain it clearly, but when I saw them, I felt disgust and fear in my heart. If I hadn't held your shoulders, I might not even have the courage to take a step." Wen Qing looked very bad.

"You two saw something in the black fog, but I saw nothing. My five senses are obviously much sharper than yours." Chen Ge was thinking: "Forget about it for now. There is no iron door installed at the entrance of this building. The situation inside the building may be different from Building A in Jinhua Community. Don't run around."

"Looking at the building's exterior and corridor, this should be a building in Jiuhong Community." Wen Qing held onto the wall and looked up at the entrance of the corridor. After a while, she finally found something: "Chen Ge, what does that sign say?"

"Building No. 1, Jiuhong Community?"

"That sign is the number of the residential building, and it was nailed there many years ago." Wen Qing is an agent and is very familiar with these two real-life communities.

"Let's go in and take a look first. I hope this place is different from the building I rented, and there won't be so many weird neighbors." Xiao Sun felt that after going through so many things, he was now immune to all "poisons" and nothing could scare him too much anymore.

"I hope there are still people like that living in this building. In the world behind the door, those guys are the easiest to bully." Chen Ge walked in front with a skull crusher. As soon as he entered the corridor, he smelled a faint odor, which was similar to the odor of the severed hand. "There should be a part of the doll's body hidden in this building. What does that doll mean to the ghost fetus? Could it be that the ghost fetus was once residing in the body of that doll?"

There were no lights or sounds in Building No. 1 of Jiuhong Community. It was like a dead building.

Walking along the corridor, Chen Ge stopped again after taking a few steps.

There are four rooms on each floor of the building in Jiuhong Community. Chen Ge saw that there was a bowl full of rice at the door of each of the four rooms, with two chopsticks stuck upright in the bowl.

However, this was not the strangest thing. Chen Ge approached carefully and found that the chopsticks stuck in the rice were exactly the same as the chopsticks in Xiang Nuan's home.

"Does it mean that a bowl of rice represents a family, and a pair of chopsticks represents a dead person?" Chen Ge looked at the four neatly arranged bowls of rice in the corridor, and thought of the densely packed chopsticks under Xiang Nuan's bed. The child once covered his bedroom with chopsticks, and chopsticks were also his favorite toy.

"Hey, do you think this bowl is similar to the one Granny Li holds?" Xiao Sun had an injury on his back, and he took a lot of effort to squat next to Chen Ge.

"It's a bit similar." Chen Ge thought more comprehensively than Xiao Sun. He recalled the video he saw at the landlord's house on the tenth floor. Granny Li's son, who was in his fifties, smashed all of Granny Li's portrait and tributes on Granny Li, and then strangled Granny Li's neck.

"What does this scene mean? Why do I have a bad feeling now?" Chen Ge avoided the bowl on the ground and pressed his body against the crack of the door.
