Chapter 667 The Man Without Shadow
The familiar cigarette brought back memories of Chen Ge. He is not a sentimental person, but at this moment he still stopped.
"Leaving me alone and running to such a dangerous place by yourself, how many things do you guys keep from me?"
Knocking on the door, but there was no response, Chen Ge whispered, "Is anyone there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a surprised voice from inside the door.
"Boss Chen?!"
The iron chain slid behind the door, and the spring snapped open. It took a long time for this seemingly ordinary door to be opened.
Fan Cong, who was wearing pajamas, was standing behind the door with tears on his face. When this fat guy over two hundred pounds saw Chen Ge, he rushed over, wanting to give Chen Ge a bear hug.
"Give me some restraint." Chen Ge took a step back, he could see that Fan Cong was very emotional.
"I knew you would come! Boss Chen, I almost never see you again!" Fan Cong said with a hint of tears. He wanted to tell Chen Ge many things, but he didn't know. From where to start, he was walking back and forth in the room, his fat belly trembling slightly with his body.
"Calm down, do you have your phone with you? We talked on the phone a few hours ago, let me see your call history." Chen Ge was testing Fan Cong. When Fan Cong disappeared, his phone was left in the room. Fan Dade also had a short communication with Chen Ge through Fan Cong's mobile phone.
"It's not with me. I was too hasty to escape, and I fell in the room." Fan Cong pointed to his oversized pajamas, which had no pockets.
Chen Ge nodded and looked into the room. This is a very ordinary rental house, with beds, tables, and electric fans, nothing special.
"Why are you hiding here? Who brought you here?" Chen Ge always thought that Fan Cong was kidnapped by the shadow, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Speaking of it, I actually can't believe it myself." Fan Cong moved his fat body away and walked to the window.
"On the second basement floor, what's the use of repairing a window? Are you lying to yourself?" Chen Ge clenched the skull hammer tightly and blocked the door of the room.
"She brought me here." Fan Cong opened the thick curtains, and on the cement wall behind was a picture painted with cheap watercolors. There are mountains, water, bright sunshine, and flowers that will never fade. Flowers, and family members with smiles on their faces.
Chen Ge's eyes moved with the curtains,
Finally, it was fixed on the side of the window frame, where a little girl was sitting.
She was dressed in red, staring blankly at the painting on the cement wall.
"Little Bu?" Chen Ge has seen this girl more than once, but each time the girl gave her a different feeling, with warnings, coldness, and helplessness this time.
"When we called, she was the one who took me away." Fan Cong's eyelids twitched, and he seemed to be a little scared when he remembered the scene at that time: "It wasn't my brother who came back that night, but another person. I really didn't dare Imagine, I didn't realize it at all, and stayed in the same house with him for so long."
"Your brother was replaced by a shadow?" What Fan Cong said was consistent with Chen Ge's previous speculation: "Is this what Xiaobu told you?"
"Well, my brother didn't come back that night at all, and I'm a little worried about him now." Fan Cong sat on the bed, the old bed board creaked, as if it would be crushed at any moment.
Compared with his size, the bed board is even smaller.
"These beds are prepared for children." Fan Cong explained, sneaking a glance at Xiao Bu, who was also worried that he would collapse the bed.
"For the children?" Chen Ge keenly captured the key words in Fan Cong's words: "You told me on the phone that after clearing the game, Xiaobu entered this building, is this building special? It looks like the internal structure is no different from other buildings in Liwan Town."
"I also heard from Xiaobu that there was an infectious disease in Liwan Town many years ago, and this building was the only building that was avoided by infected patients."
"The only one to be avoided? What do you mean?" Chen Ge didn't quite understand.
"It's a long story. If you complete Xiaobu's game, you will know everything. That game is set in Liwan Town, and it truly restores the Liwan Town at that time." Fan Cong conquered all the branches, and he knows all the games Plot: "Human nature is very complicated. It can sacrifice itself like the sun to bring warmth to the weak, or it can be like the abyss, dark and dark, with no lower limit."
"The source of the infectious disease outbreak was Liwan Hospital. The hospital was powerless to deal with the disease. Those few patients knew they couldn't survive. Some of them began to deliberately retaliate by stealing their own blood and other things on fruits and medical equipment, and the infection spread quickly. The disease spread."
"First other patients, then doctors, and finally spread to half of Liwan Town."
"Diseases are rampant, and people are panic-stricken. Many people with symptoms seem to be crazy. Although they didn't directly kill people, innocent people died because of them. They are actually not much different from those murderers."
"At that time, the whole Liwan Town was in chaos, but this building was different."
"The building used to be an orphanage. The developer thought that the eastern suburbs would develop very fast in the future. They bought the land and built a new building. At that time, they promised very well that they would build new homes for all orphans and staff and keep the orphanage. The existence of it. I didn’t know until after it was actually built that they used the first and second floors of the basement to house orphans.”
"After the outbreak of the disease, all the staff of the orphanage strictly prohibited the children from coming out, and then they guarded the entrance to the underground. They have made a decision not to let anyone in, including themselves."
"After a day and a night, someone came from above. No one knew the specific solution, and I couldn't find any information on the Internet. The game only said that all the orphans were rescued, and no one was infected."
When Fan Cong said this, his voice changed slightly: "To be honest, I admire the staff of the orphanage very much. They can be said to be the only beauty in Liwan Town."
Human beings are a very special kind of life, even in the dirtiest and most ugly environment, they can still bloom kind and beautiful flowers.
"No wonder there are human-shaped stains in all buildings, but this building does not." Chen Ge figured out the first question, but then more questions popped up: "But why did Xiaobu enter this building at the end in the game?" ? On behalf of her heart for good?"
Those who can open the door are plunged into despair, and self-salvation is extremely difficult for them.
"You should have noticed those posters in the basement corridor, right? There was a branch line in the game that a young couple entered Liwan Town. They found Xiaobu and arranged the building as Xiaobu's shelter." Fan Cong tried his best to recall the last few scenes of the game: "They wanted to help Xiaobu, but they asked Xiaobu to agree to one condition."
"Conditions?" Chen Ge knew that the young couple Fan Cong mentioned were his parents, smoking familiar cigarettes and carrying haunted house posters with him, wishing the whole world would come to the haunted house to play, which only his family could do.
"Yes." Fan Cong looked back at Xiao Bu, seeing that Xiao Bu didn't respond, he continued, "They hope that Xiao Bu can become the shadow of their children."
"Tell me in detail." Chen Ge narrowed his eyes.
"You have seen the dialogue in the game, it is difficult to interpret, it probably means that the shadow of their child is lost, so I hope Xiaobu can become the new shadow of my child. I know this is incredible, but it is written in the game. During the game, Xiao Bu didn't agree immediately, so they built a shelter in Liwan Town, saying that if Xiao Bu thought it through, they would enter the shelter and wait for them, and then they would help Xiao Bu get rid of the shadow." Fan Cong added I don't know how much impact I said on Chen Ge.
"It's a good thing they thought of making a red dress as a shadow." Now that Xiao Bu has entered the shelter, it means that he has agreed to be Chen Ge's shadow, but his parents not only failed to get rid of the shadow as agreed, but made themselves Missing, this made Chen Ge a little unsure how to face Xiao Bu: "I don't want to think about it so much, as long as I can kill the shadow, no matter who did it, it is considered to have fulfilled the agreement."
Entering the room, Chen Ge walked to the window. Xiao Bu looked only seven or eight years old. The bloody red dress contrasted sharply with her pale face. Just getting close, Xu Yin gave a strong warning.
"She looks very strong." This is the first time Chen Ge has seen an out-of-control door. He doesn't know what impact it will have on the person pushing the door after the door is out of control. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that after the door is out of control, pushing People will also become more terrifying.
"It was my parents who made an agreement with you before, and I was the one they said that lost my shadow."
Hearing Chen Ge's words, the eyelashes of the girl who had been in a daze moved slightly, she turned around slowly, and a sense of oppression that made Chen Ge almost suffocate came from in front of her.
"This……"
The red dress fluttered, Xiao Bu had no arms or hands, and her heart was also empty.
"This child is the same as that door! Where the door was removed, except for the head replaced with a heart, everything else corresponds to her body."
Looking at each other silently, no one would voluntarily give up their freedom. Chen Ge finally knew why Xiao Bu fled into the shelter.
Facing the oppression and ignoring Xu Yin's warning, Chen Ge took another step forward. There was a hint of distress in his eyes: "I didn't come here for some agreement. You have suffered too many injuries. I ask myself that I can't understand you. One of the pain, so I will not comfort you from the perspective of a bystander, I understand that those comforts are in vain."
"Blood debt, I will help you get rid of the shadow, and then make you no longer alone." Chen Ge stopped in front of Xiao Bu, slowly squatted down, and looked at the numb face: "The scenery in this window is Drawn, after the shadow is resolved, I will take you outside the door, to all the places you want to go, to see all the scenery you want to see."
Chen Ge no longer mentioned any promises, and he would not let Xiao Bu be his shadow.
Perhaps because he realized that Chen Ge was not lying, Xiao Bu blinked, and blood oozed out of the window frame, and the blood droplets gathered into a few characters without shadows, who would not live long, so you are sure not to let me be yours shadow?
