No matter which choice he made, his life would be in danger. Chen Ge was rarely conflicted.
The woman's cries became louder and louder, but strangely, there was no echo of her voice in the tunnel, as if only Chen Ge could hear her voice.
"The person who saved you died in the tunnel, and the person who didn't save you didn't make the news, but his fate probably wouldn't be any better."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ge decided to ignore this woman for now and complete the nightmare-level mission before taking on this fatal question.
After taking the forty-first step, the sound of the wind in his ears seemed to have become quieter. He didn't know if it was because there were too many evil spirits gathered around Chen Ge, or if there were other reasons.
The light from his mobile phone began to distort, and he could clearly feel that the surroundings had become much darker.
Cheer up, Chen Ge called out his name.
"There are only three steps left."
The woman in red on the left side of the tunnel was getting closer, and all kinds of evil spirits were gathering in front of him. Chen Ge stared into the depths of the tunnel and took the 42nd step without hesitation.
As his front foot landed on the ground, the flashlight on his phone suddenly went out.
There was no sign, and no matter how I turned the switch, the phone didn't respond.
Darkness descended, enveloping Chen Ge. Even with his Yin pupils, he could only see two or three meters further than ordinary people.
There was no light at all, and Chen Ge stood there not daring to move around.
When people are in absolute darkness, their five senses will be blinded, and without any reference points, it is easy to get lost.
He was worried that he might accidentally fall and not be able to tell which direction he was facing when he stood up.
This is a very scary thing in a tunnel. If you choose the wrong path, you may end up going deeper into the tunnel.
The surroundings became quiet, and the woman in red also shut her mouth.
But this feeling is very bad. I know there are evil spirits everywhere around me, but I just can't see them.
Chen Ge's breathing became difficult, and he felt a sense of oppression all around him: "I can't stay here any longer."
Lifting his leg, Chen Ge took the forty-third step.
The tunnel became even quieter, and the evil spirits seemed to have disappeared. What was even stranger was that there was a faint light coming from the depths of the tunnel.
Very faint, can't see clearly.
"Are we going to get out of the tunnel?"
The light in the distance was not still; it was approaching slowly, as if someone was holding a lamp.
Chen Ge did not act rashly. He focused all his attention on the bright light. His body seemed to be squeezed by something, as if he had entered an invisible wall of air.
As the light slowly approached, the pressure on Chen Ge became greater and greater.
"Never mind, this is the last step, let's take it first!" He felt his body was about to be torn apart, so he forced his legs up, preparing to take the 44th step.
The light was approaching, and the figure hidden behind the light gradually became clearer.
With his eyes looking forward and his pupils contracted, Chen Ge's left leg was hanging in the air and he even forgot to put it down. He could hardly believe his eyes.
"That is..."
Behind the light was a boy carrying a schoolbag with the zipper half open, and inside it was a very rough rag doll.
The child seemed to be holding someone's left hand, and holding a mobile phone in his right hand to light the way. This mobile phone was produced many years ago and did not even have a flashlight function. He could only rely on the faint light from the screen to move forward step by step.
The boy looked serious, as if he was looking for something.
His hand was held, and it was obvious that an adult had come in with him.
Maybe he was a little tired from holding the phone all the way, so he put down his arm, walked forward a few steps, and finally stopped in front of Chen Ge.
The child didn't seem to notice that there was anyone in front of him. He stared at the endless darkness in front of him.
The adult next to him seemed to say a few words to him, as if trying to persuade him to give up, but the boy did not agree and still looked at the darkness in front of him.
The child seemed to sense something, and raised his head, pointing the phone screen directly in front of him.
In the absolutely dark tunnel, a beam of light so faint that it was almost negligible connected the sight of two people.
Chen Ge stood at the side of the tunnel, his eyes fixed on the boy's face like solidified plaster.
This child is him many years ago!
His arms were shaking, and Chen Ge couldn't describe this strange feeling.
"I saw a red house in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang. There were many children playing and laughing around the house. Then I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself in a car. I still don't remember what happened during that time."
Chen Ge looked at the child, and the child was also looking at him.
Under the dim light of the mobile phone, the child opened his mouth. Chen Ge couldn't hear his voice clearly. He could only judge from the shape of his mouth that the child said three words, which seemed to be - Found it!
The boy seemed to have something else to say, but the adult next to him did not give him the chance to continue speaking. Chen Ge could clearly see that the boy's neck began to deform, as if the adult who accompanied the boy into the tunnel had strangled his neck.
His body turned cold and Chen Ge gasped for breath. He wanted to stop the adult, so he took the forty-fourth step!
This step seemed to have missed the target, and his body seemed to be falling infinitely, as if his soul had been knocked out of his body and was about to be sucked away by something.
The light in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him. He tried desperately to grab something, but no one could help him at this time.
An indescribable despair surged in his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes.
But just when his eyelids were about to close, a blood-red figure appeared at the end of the light, blood spread, and the man looked like a blood-red sun.
She dispelled the boundless darkness and turned it into blood red.
"Zhang Ya?"
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Chen Ge opened his eyes suddenly and woke up.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the light on Chen Ge's phone returned to normal. He was still standing in the tunnel.
"I saw myself from more than ten years ago? Is that what I forgot?" Chen Ge felt a chill in his heart: "It turns out that someone wanted to kill me at that time."
There was no clue related to the murderer in his memory, and none of the familiar people around him were imprisoned, which meant that the person who wanted to kill him might have been living around him all along.
"Now we can only confirm that the person is in the eastern suburbs. It's not a big problem. We'll settle this account later." Chen Ge looked at the place where the pain came from just now. The white cat bit there and bled. "Fortunately, I brought you here."
Chen Ge touched Baimao's head. He wanted to thank Zhang Ya more. When he turned his head to look at his own shadow, he suddenly found that the woman in red was standing next to him.
With a broken body and a sunken head, the woman looked at Chen Ge and repeated the words: "I'm here, help me, I'm here..."
"I almost forgot about you." At such a close distance, Chen Ge had no way to avoid it. He gritted his teeth, glanced at his own shadow, and then turned to the woman in red: "How do you want me to help you?"
