Chapter 461 That Man



"Are two people in red too many?" Chen Ge didn't even raise his head and continued eating.

Hearing his words, Doctor Chen was speechless for a moment. He thought of some rumors he had heard about Chen Ge before, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's already terrifying for me."

"Doctor Chen, I have other things to do later. I came here today to ask you something. I hope you can answer truthfully for the sake of my saving your life." Chen Ge put down his lunch box and took a sip of water. His movements and demeanor were completely inconsistent with what he was about to say: "You once told me in the underground morgue that your last name was not Chen, but because someone asked you to use this last name to do something in the western suburbs of Jiujiang."

"I told you that, too?" Doctor Chen hesitated, but did not refute: "Yes."

"Who is that person? Why did he use the surname Chen? What did he ask you to come to the western suburbs of Jiujiang?"

Chen Ge asked three questions in a row. After thinking for a moment, Doctor Chen gave Chen Ge's answer: "I know the old director of the rehabilitation center and have worked for him. When the door of the third ward first appeared, the old director and I had a conversation. Later, I went to the door to check it out myself and even entered the world behind the door."

Doctor Chen lowered his head and thought for a while: "I should be the first person besides Men Nan to enter the world behind the door. I saw a lot of strange things there. It was like a nightmare. I only told this secret to two people, the old dean and my best friend, Doctor Gao."

"The three of us initially decided to seal the door with cement, but we later discovered that the effect was poor. The door still appeared, and the blood seeped through the nearby wall and began to spread at night."

"Maybe it's because I entered the world behind the door. I felt like I was haunted by something. After midnight, there were always fingers scratching the bed board under my bed. There was no one in the bathroom, but when I looked inside the half-open bathroom door, I found a dark shadow standing in the mirror. It was facing my bed and seemed to be about to walk out of the mirror."

"I am a psychologist. When these things appear, the first thing I do is to examine myself and make sure that these things are not my own hallucinations."

"There have been cases where psychiatrists have ended up in mental hospitals themselves, so I initially thought there was something wrong with me."

“But then something happened that completely changed my mind.”

"On the third night after I came out from behind the bloody gate, I saw a man standing outside the window, his head facing my bed."

"I live on the third floor. There is no anti-theft net on the second floor, and the air conditioner is not installed in this location. I ruled out all possibilities and finally concluded that the man was at least three meters tall."

"The man looked at me for a long time and finally went into the house on the second floor."

"I called the police immediately, but they didn't find the suspicious man on the second floor. Amid complaints from the neighbors on the second floor, I was taken away by the police for questioning."

"The next morning, I heard the news of my second-floor neighbor's suicide at the police station."

"The victim's death was very strange, with slumped shoulders and a terrified expression. He must have been frightened before he died."

"I suspected that my neighbor's death was related to the man I saw last night. I explained everything to the police, but the police officer on duty thought I should see a psychiatrist."

"I remember very clearly that I showed him my psychiatrist's qualification certificate at the time."

"Some things were hard to explain, and the police didn't believe them at all. But a cheerful-looking guy in the room was very interested in what I said. At first I thought he was also a policeman, so I talked to him in detail for a long time. Finally I found out that the man had just received public security education a few days ago for making a false police report, impersonating a police officer, and speeding, and was released today."

Doctor Chen said helplessly, "I didn't dare go home, and I tried my best to stay in the police station for a few more days. It was not until rumors that I was crazy started to spread in the hospital where I worked that I had to leave the police station."

"After I got home, the figure of the man in the window kept appearing in my mind. I was worried that I would become the next victim, so I stayed in a hotel in the most prosperous area of ​​the city."

"This lasted for a month, the man never showed up again, and my life returned to normal."

"It's not a good idea to live in a hotel all the time. I plan to sell my old house and buy a new one in a more prosperous part of the city."

"In fact, I had this plan a long time ago. After paying the down payment, I contacted a moving company in the eastern suburbs and planned to move some of the more expensive things during the day."

"The new house is on the fifteenth floor. I deliberately chose the top floor."

"After all the furniture was delivered, it was already evening. I treated the movers to a meal and had a few drinks myself. I was ready to move into my new home and start a new life."

At this point, Dr. Chen paused for a moment and said, "Back in my new home, I lay down on the familiar bed and fell asleep quickly."

"It was around midnight. I felt a little cold, so I tightened my blanket. When I opened my eyes and looked to the side, I suddenly saw a man standing in the room."

"I was instantly startled awake, and when I looked carefully, the man standing in my room was the monster I had seen before!"

"He was more than three meters tall, his upper body was standing upright, and his lower body was slowly crawling out from under the bed. He had a strange smile on his face and was saying, 'I've finally waited for you.'"

"I never thought this monster would be hiding under my bed. I ran outside like crazy."

"I didn't even bother to put on my shoes, I rushed towards the door."

"I didn't dare to look back, I ran into the corridor and shouted for help, but no one responded."

“My shoulders are getting heavier and heavier. It seems like the monster is stepping on them.”

"Laughter came from above my head, my vision started to blur, the corridor seemed to be twisted, and I felt like I was going to fall at any moment."

"I endured all the discomfort and came to the stairs. When my five senses were about to be deprived, I suddenly heard the sound of a lighter."

"The steel wheel rubbed against the flint, and a flickering flame appeared in my field of vision. I saw a man leaning against the entrance of the corridor and lighting a cigarette for himself."

"This man looks familiar to me. Upon closer inspection, I found that he was the man I met at the police station who was receiving public security education for impersonating a police officer and speeding."

"The cigarette in his hand burned very slowly. As the ash fell, a shrill cry for mercy came from my shoulder."

"As the cigarette burned out, the monster on my shoulder completely disappeared."

"He saved me. I talked to him a lot that night. He told me that there is another side to this world. He taught me how to close the door of the third ward. He also asked me to use the last name Chen to help him do something in the western suburbs of Jiujiang."

Doctor Chen said this, took a sip of water, looked at Chen Ge silently and said the last sentence: "That man looks a lot like you, and the thing he asked me to do is also related to you."
