Lifting the leg and then lowering it was a simple movement, but it was a bit difficult for Chen Ge now. He felt dizzy and his body seemed to be weighed down by a lot of things. There was also a force in the dark trying to drag him back.

Chen Ge didn't know what was hidden in the darkness, nor did he know if there were any ghosts around him. In fact, sometimes it was good not to see anything, at least it wouldn't cause any more panic.

It took several minutes to walk from the 17th floor to the 18th floor.

When Chen Ge successfully reached the eighteenth floor, he almost fell down.

"My body feels a little cold and my head feels dizzy."

Chen Ge was very tired. The exhaustion was mental, as if he had been working on edge for more than ten hours.

"I should be on the top floor now." Chen Ge held onto the wall, still without opening his eyes.

To be on the safe side, he bent down and used his hands to brush the ground and walls little by little, not missing any corner.

After escaping death, we finally reached the top of the building. We must not make any mistakes at the last moment.

While Chen Ge was groping, there was a sound of a door opening downstairs. The sound seemed very abrupt in the quiet corridor.

The iron door was slowly pushed open, and two footsteps were heard in the corridor.

"Someone is walking upstairs?" Chen Ge's heart suddenly rose. "The door opening sound probably came from the 14th or 15th floor. Are those neighbors chasing us?"

The footsteps were hurried, approaching the rooftop quickly, as if they were forcing Chen Ge to open his eyes and complete the mission.

"The sound has reached the sixteenth floor."

Chen Ge's forehead was covered with sweat. He leaned his back against the wall, feeling a little anxious.

"Do you want to open your eyes? Theoretically, we've reached the top floor, and I can't find any stairs to go up any further."

While he was hesitating, the footsteps had already reached the 17th floor. Chen Ge stood in the corner, facing the corridor, his eyes still closed.

At this time, the footsteps downstairs became faster and faster, and they appeared at the corner between the 17th and 18th floors, which meant that they had already seen Chen Ge.

"I was discovered by them, but the footsteps did not stop. Their target should not be me."

A familiar child's laughter rang in his ears, and soon two footsteps passed by Chen Ge, one after the other, and then a door on the eighteenth floor was opened!

The wind blew on Chen Ge's face, and the fatigue in his body slowly dissipated, as if the thing that was originally lying on him had left.

"Is it over?"

He wanted to open his eyes, but he could still hear footsteps and children's laughter.

That laughter brought him an indescribable strange feeling. He could not feel happiness from the laughter. It felt very empty. The other party was just laughing.

Chen Ge touched the open door and stood at the door. A child's voice came from the other side of the door.

"Uncle, I had another dream. I dreamed that there was a blood-red city floating in the black sea. People coming and going in the city were holding knives. They cut off their bodies and buried all their memories."

"Uncle, memories appear because of people, but people forget them. Will memories be angry?"

"Uncle, are you listening to me?"

The child's voice was right in front of Chen Ge. Chen Ge even had a feeling that the child was talking to him. When he was about to speak, a strange man's voice appeared.

"I'm listening." The man's voice was emotionless, cold and chilling, like a machine: "Memory will not get angry. When it appears, it is destined to be forgotten. This is the end of memory."

"Destined to be forgotten?"

"Well, just like you." After the man said this, the child laughed again.

"Why do you like to laugh so much?" The man asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Because I'm happy. My dad said that everything I saw was a nightmare. Those horrible and terrible things were all dreams and they will disappear when I wake up. Shouldn't I be happy about this?" The child's voice was innocent.

"Nightmare?" The man's tone became even colder: "If one day, you find out that those were not nightmares, and everything you dreamed about was real, can you still laugh?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"Then if you find yourself forgotten in that blood-red city one day and can never come back, can you still smile like you do now?"

"I……"

"You will definitely never smile again. You will curse madly, just like those memories discarded by their owner. You will be wrapped in negative emotions and sink deeper and deeper into that black ocean." A hint of excitement gradually appeared in the man's voice. There was a twisted soul hidden under his cold tone.

"No, I won't." The child's tender voice contained a maturity that was not in line with his age. He seemed to think seriously for a long time before continuing: "If one day I am really forgotten in the nightmare, I will draw windows on the black ocean and open doors in the blood-red city. I will let all eyes that are accustomed to darkness see the light."

When the boy finished speaking the last word, Chen Ge suddenly felt that this sentence was very familiar, as if he had said it before.

His eyelids twitched, and Chen Ge took a step forward unconsciously. He instinctively wanted to catch that voice.

"Where there is light there must be darkness. If you want the darkness to see the light, the light will become dark." The man seemed to have grabbed the child.

"Let me go!"

"You are the one who should be let go. Don't come back again!"

"Let go! Help! Help!"

"You will be forgotten eventually, so go to die in peace!"

When the man said he would go out and die, Chen Ge felt cold all over, and a voice shouted in his heart.

"Help!"

Chen Ge suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and saw a doctor in a white coat at the edge of the building, pushing his young self off the roof!

He rushed to the edge of the building, but when he reached out, everything disappeared.

All the strength in his body was used up in an instant, and Chen Ge slumped down on the edge of the building, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"When I was doing the nightmare mission in the tunnel, I also saw my younger self being killed. This is the second time. The murderer's back is almost the same. It should be the same person. He is wearing a doctor's uniform. He may be the doctor who came from Xinhai. But why did he want to kill me? What is the meaning of their conversation?"

Chen Ge had a splitting headache and was still a little uncomfortable after closing his eyes for such a long time.

He curled up against the wall, rubbed his eyes, and when his vision returned to normal, he turned his head to look to his side, wanting to pick up the white cat.

But just as he turned his head halfway, his body froze.

Two skinny arms were placed in front of his face, and the blood-red coat almost touched Chen Ge's nose.

A man in red grabbed Chen Ge's shoulders and lay on his back!

"The half-open door in Jiangyuan Community was left by you, right?" A child's voice came from behind Chen Ge.

"I don't remember." It was not until this moment that Chen Ge noticed the white cat on his shoulder that was about to cry with fear. The cat dared not move at all. Someone who didn't know would probably think it was a specimen.

The white cat has always been there, but it didn't remind me, which means that the person in red may have appeared as soon as I closed my eyes.

The white cat is lying on the left shoulder, so maybe he is lying on the right shoulder?
