"Sorry for disturbing you tonight. You should go to bed early." Chen Ge was so focused on playing that he didn't expect it was already so late.
"Do you want to go back? Just stay here for one night. My bed is very big." Fan Cong threw his wrinkled clothes and pants aside.
"No, my haunted house will be open tomorrow." Chen Ge waved his hand politely. He was ready to finish everything and leave. "I remember you said before that something unusual happened when you were playing the game. Did you feel like something in the game came out?"
Fan Cong and Fan Dade looked at each other. They were also wondering. When they played before, they always turned off the background music, placed the computer screen as far away as possible, and operated from a distance of one meter, but even so, they would still get scared sometimes.
But when they watched Chen Ge play, the object of their fear had unconsciously changed from the game itself to the person playing the game. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
The two brothers didn't know how to start, and finally it was the elder brother Fan Dade who changed the subject: "It's probably because of psychological reasons. Now think about it, how could something in the game come out?"
"Don't be careless, the two of you. This game does have some problems. You'd better play it only during the day in the future." Chen Ge gave Fan Cong a few more instructions, and after making sure there were no problems, he walked out of the bedroom.
"Boss Chen, it's hard to get a taxi here. Let me take you back." Fan Cong chased after him. Perhaps Chen Ge's actions had stunned him. At this moment, he had many things he wanted to discuss with Chen Ge.
"Please stay. No need to see me off." Through playing this game, Chen Ge's relationship with Fan Cong and Fan Dade improved a lot. Both brothers were very enthusiastic.
"There are no taxis in Liwan Town at night. You have to go to Dongjiao Commercial City to get a taxi." Fan Cong took out a key from the drawer and said, "You can take my electric bike. I'm going to your park tomorrow. You can give me the bike then."
Having said that, Chen Ge did not refuse and took the electric car key from Fan Cong: "Thank you very much."
Pushing open the door to the living room, Fan Dade and Fan Cong walked Chen Ge downstairs together. The entire neighborhood was dark, and only Fan Dade's house had the lights on.
"Why do I feel like there are so few residents in your community?" Chen Ge recalled the family across from Fan Dade, who had a mirror hung on their door to ward off evil spirits.
"This place is too remote, and transportation is inconvenient. Over time, those who can move out have moved out." Fan Dade took Chen Ge to find the electric bike: "Be careful on the road, see you tomorrow."
Chen Ge checked the battery level, thanked Fan Dade and Fan Cong again, and rode away on his electric bike.
After a while, the lights in Fan Cong's house went out, and the entire Liwan Town fell into darkness.
"This East Suburb is really a bit weird." Chen Ge looked back and said, "How about we go to the corresponding place in the game tonight?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ge gave up the idea: "It's better to be safe. After Fan Cong has figured out all the dangerous areas, I will go find the out-of-control door."
After driving out of Liwan Town, it took Chen Ge more than an hour to return to New Century Park.
After entering the haunted house, Chen Ge's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Fighting off his sleepiness, Chen Ge found his backpack in the staff lounge, then opened the iron door leading to the underground scene and entered.
Sitting in the last classroom, Chen Ge pressed the switch of the repeater, then opened the comic book and released Men Nan.
Men Nan, who was only slightly taller than Chen Ge's knees, emerged from Yan Danian's comic book. He looked at Chen Ge with a hint of resentment.
Chen Ge coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed: "Are you still used to staying here?"
"When are you going to send me back? If no one is watching over the broken window in the world behind the door of the third ward, something terrible will happen!" Men Nan looked like a little adult, and his cute face looked at Chen Ge very seriously.
"what happens?"
"The door of the third ward has shown signs of being out of control. During the time I was unconscious, the world behind the door was slowly overlapping with the world outside! They are influencing each other. If left unchecked, the door will never be closed again, and the negative emotions inside will be vented into the world outside." Men Nan wanted to explain to Chen Ge the seriousness of the problem.
"Will the negative emotions inside the door be vented to the world outside?" Chen Ge thought of the scene he saw in the game. The whole town was full of perverted murderers and evil spirits, and everyone seemed to be crazy.
"That's right. If the door is not closed for a long time, it will slowly affect everything around it." Men Nan climbed onto a chair. He hated looking up when talking to people. "Anyone within the range of the 'door' will have problems. At first, there will be subtle psychological changes, such as suddenly becoming introverted and silent, losing interest in everything, etc. Over time, physiological habits will also change, just like eating steak. In the past, I liked it medium-rare, but now I like it medium-rare, and I even gradually start to like it raw with blood streaks."
Men Nan describes the process of a normal person gradually becoming "perverted".
"Is this process irreversible?" Chen Ge knew clearly that the gate of Liwan Town was out of control. The enemies he would face this time were not only evil spirits, but also people with ill intentions and monsters running out from behind the gate.
"The best way I can think of right now is to prevent the door from getting out of control. Of course, you can also find a psychologist to treat them one by one, as long as you are not afraid of trouble." Men Nan was hinting at Chen Ge. He was anxious to go back, but he couldn't beat the evil spirit in Chen Ge's body. This made him very conflicted, as if he had boarded a pirate ship and couldn't get off.
"Can the out-of-control 'door' be closed?" Chen Ge had his own ideas. He was always very calm.
"You need to first figure out the logical sequence. A 'door' is out of control because it cannot be closed." Men Nan's answer was somewhat pessimistic.
"Can't the person who pushed the door close it himself?" Chen Ge leaned back in his chair, somewhat unwillingly. His original plan was to find the door to Liwan Town, then enter the door to look for Xiaobu, and then use reasonable means to make Xiaobu close the door.
"The person who pushed the door might be able to close it, but it depends on the 'person'. Different door pushers have different strengths and abilities." When Men Nan said this, his eyes became even more resentful. The reason why he did not escape secretly was because he was not good at fighting. Even behind the door of the third ward, he was no match for Zhang Ya, so he stayed in the comic book honestly.
"I have said everything I can. If you ask me anything else, I don't know." Without waiting for Chen Ge to ask again, Men Nan looked at him eagerly and continued, "It is really terrible that the gate is out of control. I have to go back. Without me guarding the gate, the Western Suburbs will sooner or later become the same as the Eastern Suburbs."
"West Suburb will become the same as East Suburb? You know about East Suburb?" Chen Ge was stunned. In the previous conversation, he did not mention the word East Suburb.
