Chapter 946: Voice From 20 Years Ago

"He said a lot to me that day, things he didn't usually say."

"The person you mentioned, is he still in this building?" Chen Ge could hear the trembling voices around him.

"He moved out and hasn't been back for a long time."

"Then do you want to see him again?" Chen Ge gently tugged at the corner of his clothes: "I think you should have a lot to say to him, after all, he makes you feel cold and you don't feel warm."

"I……"

"It's okay, I will help you, I will definitely help you." Chen Ge stood up slowly while leaning on the wall: "If he has not left Hanjiang, I will bring him within a week. Wait until you see him After that, I can take you to a warmer place."

The woman didn't answer, and Chen Ge was not in a hurry: "Now I have another reason to live. You can keep the coat, I will come back."

Taking steps, Chen Ge was about to go up, when the woman's voice sounded again behind him: "Don't go any further, you won't be able to come back."

"Can't come back? Why?"

"Because the thirteenth floor is above the fourteenth floor."

A coat was stuffed into Singer Chen, and the cold and damp feeling slowly dissipated.

"What does she want to tell me?" Chen Ge grabbed the coat in his hand: "The residential buildings in Jiangyuan Community do not have fourteen floors, and there should be fifteen floors above the thirteenth floor, but she said that there are fourteen floors above the thirteenth floor? That is to say, the fourteenth floor actually exists?"

Having come here, Chen Ge will not retreat, he knows that he is very close to the truth.

Counting the steps in his heart, Chen Ge came to the thirteenth floor. This floor is very quiet, just like ordinary corridors in the community, without any abnormalities.

Stepping to the fourteenth floor, when Chen Ge was halfway there, the tip of his nose moved slightly, and he smelled a scent of rice.

I don't know what it is made of, and I don't know what it is, but my brain seems to judge that it is a smell of rice in an instant, as if it is imprinted deep in my memory.

"It floated from the fourteenth floor, is someone cooking?"

Going up step by step, I don't know if it's because of excessive physical exertion or mental exhaustion, but Chen Ge feels that there are extraordinarily many steps between the 13th and 14th floors.

Obviously the number is the same as other floors, and the number of leg lifts is the same, but it takes more time.

The fingertips fell, and dry cracked skin appeared on the originally smooth wall, and there seemed to be a lot of debris in the corridor.

Everything around gave Chen Ge a sense of familiarity and strangeness.

He mechanically repeated the movement of raising his legs and falling down, smelling the smell of rice, and finally came to the fourteenth floor.

Just as he was standing still, the door shaft in the corridor turned, making a rattling sound, an iron door was opened, and then a man's voice came from the depths of the corridor: "Chen Ge, are you home?"

The moment he heard this voice, Chen Ge's mind went blank, and he suddenly turned to face the corridor.

He had listened to this man's voice for more than twenty years, and this sentence came home. He didn't know how many times he had heard it since he was a child.

He had already engraved this voice in his heart and engraved it on his bones.

"The meal is ready. As soon as you went upstairs, your mother heard your footsteps."

With his nails digging into his flesh, Chen Ge slowly raised his arms and grabbed the black cloth that was blindfolded.

He wanted to take a look, he had never wanted to open his eyes so much.

The hand holding the black cloth was getting stronger and stronger, and streaks of blue and black blood vessels appeared on the back of his hand.

"What was it like going to school alone for the first time?"

"Do the other children have someone to pick them up?!"

"Nobody bullied you, did they?"

"Have you made friends? You are so like me, shouldn't you be unpopular?"

"Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands, don't run around..."

A sentence came from the depths of the corridor until the door hinge turned again and the iron door closed.

The man's voice disappeared, and the voices of other people, men and women, old and young, rang out in the corridor.

"What's wrong with the new family? Every day in the middle of the night, after the child falls asleep, he goes out. No wonder his child has nightmares every day."

"Did you hear that his house is full of laughter during the day and crying at night. Isn't the child afraid of being alone in the house?"

"It's strange, I saw with my own eyes today that their family of three went out during the day, why are there still children crying in the house at night?"

"Brothers! I found out one thing. The newly moved family is not a problem with the adults, but a problem with the child! I saw with my own eyes a doctor from a hospital in Xinhai came to treat the child! Don't let your children Play with him!"

"How do you feel that after being treated by the doctor, the child became more ill? Do you know? The child told his parents about his nightmares during the day, and when the parents were not at home at night, he told those nightmares to his shadow, scaring everyone to death. !"

"That's not right. He doesn't sleep day and night. When did he have a nightmare? Is what the kid said really a dream?"

"Don't scare me, forget it, they are about to move out anyway, so bear with it for a few more days."

"Move away?"

"Well, I heard it's going to the western suburbs, and the parents of the children are going to work in a paradise."

The voice in the ear slowly dissipated, and Chen Ge was still standing there, his hand still clutching the blindfolded black cloth.

After a while, Chen Ge took a deep breath: "I only remember those beautiful things. I have forgotten most of what the neighbors said, but there are a few key points that need to be paid attention to."

"When I was very young, I came into contact with a doctor from Xinhai Hospital, that is, after being treated by him, I began to tell my shadow about nightmares."

"My shadow should have become strange since then. The key to everything is that doctor."

"The doctor came from Xinhai. The cursed hospital is between Xinhai and Hanjiang. Is this a coincidence?"

Standing on the fourteenth floor, Chen Ge silently turned his back to the corridor that made various sounds.

He slowly squeezed the black cloth with his hand, and finally took off the slightly wet black cloth. At this time, his eyes were still tightly closed.

"I really want to open my eyes and see you, but I know it's impossible." Chen Ge didn't look back, leaning on the wall, and continued to walk up: "You once gave me everything you have, and now I use my everything, to find you."

In the dark corridor, Chen Ge's back is a little different from the past.

The fifteenth floor, the sixteenth floor, the seventeenth floor...

Counting the steps silently in his heart, Chen Ge knew that he was now on the seventeenth floor, which is theoretically the top floor of the building, but he did not rush to open his eyes.

"The fourteenth floor does not exist, but the girl with a cold body said that there are fourteenth floors above the thirteenth floor. This building originally has seventeen floors. If the extra fourteen floors are added, there should be eighteen floors in total. It's like the 18 floors of hell."

After Chen Ge finished speaking, he touched the wall and moved his steps, and soon the toe of his shoe touched the steps going up.

"Sure enough, there is an eighteenth floor."
