The familiar cigarette reminded Chen Ge of his memory, he was not a sentimental person, but at this moment he still stopped.

"Leave me alone, run to such a dangerous place by yourself, how much do you still have to hide from me?"

Knocking on the door, but without any response, Chen Ge whispered: "Is anyone there?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice of surprise came from inside the door.

"Boss Chen?!"

The chain behind the door slid and the circlip popped open, and it took a long time for the seemingly ordinary door to be opened.

Fan Cong, who was wearing pajamas, stood behind the door with tears on his face, this fat guy of more than 200 pounds rushed over when he saw Chen Ge, wanting to give Chen Ge a bear hug.

"You give me a little restraint." Chen Ge took a step back, and he could see that Fan Cong was very emotional.

"I knew you were coming! Boss Chen, I'm almost never going to see you again! Fan Cong said with a hint of crying, he had a lot of things to tell Chen Ge, but he didn't know where to start, he walked around the house, his belly full of fat trembled gently with his body.

"Calm down first, do you have your phone with you? We were on the phone a few hours ago, let me see your call logs. Chen Ge was testing Fan Cong, and when Fan Cong disappeared, his mobile phone was left in the room, and later Fan Dade also had a brief communication with Chen Ge through Fan Cong's mobile phone.

"Not with me, I was in a hurry to escape, and I fell into the room." Fan Cong pointed to his king-size pajamas, which had no pockets.

Chen Ge nodded and looked into the room, this was a very ordinary rental house, with a bed, table, and electric fan, without any special place.

"Why are you hiding in this place? 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.

"I can't believe it." Fan Cong moved his chubby body and walked to the window.

"On the second basement floor, what's the use of fixing a window? Fool yourself? Chen Ge clenched the skull crusher hammer and blocked the door of the room.

"She brought me here." Fan Cong opened the thick curtains, and someone painted a picture in cheap watercolor on the cement wall behind him, with mountains, water, bright sunshine, flowers that will never wither, and family members with smiles on their faces.

Chen Ge's gaze moved with the curtain, and finally fixed on the side of the window frame, where a little girl sit.

She was dressed in red, staring blankly at the paintings on the concrete wall.

"Xiaobu?" Chen Ge had seen this girl more than once, but every time the girl brought her a different feeling, there were 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 can't imagine that I didn't realize it at all, and I 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: "This is what Xiaobu told you?" ”

"Well, my brother didn't come back that night, and I'm a little worried about him now." Fan Cong sat on the bed, and the worn-out bed board creaked, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Compared to his size, the bed board was much smaller.

"These beds are for little ones." Fan Cong explained, and secretly glanced at Xiaobu, who was also worried that he had collapsed the bed.

"For the kids?" Chen Ge keenly captured the key words in Fan Cong's words: "You told me on the phone, after the game was cleared, Xiaobu entered this building, is this building special?" It looks like the interior is no different from other buildings in Liwan Town. ”

"I also heard from Xiaobu that many years ago, there was an infectious disease in Liwan Town, and this building was the only one that was avoided by infectious disease people."

"The only one to be avoided? What do you mean? Chen Ge didn't understand too much.

"It's a long story, if you complete Xiaobu's game, you will know everything, that game is based on Liwan Town, and it truly restores Liwan Town at that time." Fan Cong has conquered all the branches, and he knows all the plot of the game: "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 outbreak of the epidemic was in Liwan Hospital, the hospital was helpless against the disease, and those few patients knew that they would not survive, and some of them began to deliberately retaliate by stealing their own blood and other things on fruits and medical equipment, and soon the epidemic spread."

"First other patients, then doctors, and finally half of Liwan Town."

"The disease is rampant, people are panicking, many people who have symptoms are like crazy, although they don't kill people directly, but innocent people die because of them, and they are not much different from those murderers."

"At that time, the whole town of Liwan was in chaos, but this building was different."

"The building was built as an orphanage, and the developer thought that the eastern suburbs would develop very quickly in the future, so they bought the land and built a new building, and they promised to build a new home for all the orphans and staff, and keep the existence of the orphanage. After the actual construction was completed, it was only learned that they used the first and second basement floors to house orphans. ”

"After the outbreak of the disease, all the staff of the orphanage strictly forbade the children to come out, and then they themselves stood guard at the entrance to the underground. They had made up their minds not to let anyone in, including themselves. ”

"After a day and a night, people came from above, no one knew the specific solution, and no information could be found on the Internet, and 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, they can be said to be the only beautiful thing in Liwan Town." ”

Human beings are a very special life, even in the most dirty and ugly environment, they can still bloom good and beautiful flowers.

"No wonder all buildings have humanoid stains in them, but not in this building." Chen Ge figured out the first question, but then more questions popped up: "But why did Xiaobu enter this building in the game?" Represents her single-mindedness for good? ”

Those who can push open the door are in deep despair, and it is extremely difficult for them to redeem themselves.

"You should have noticed those posters in the basement hallway, right? There is a side story in the game where a young couple enters the town of Liwan, they find Xiaobu, and they set up the building as Xiaobu's shelter. Fan Cong tried his best to recall the last few moments of the game: "They want to help Xiaobu, but they have to agree to one condition when they ask Xiaobu. ”

"Conditions?" Chen Ge knew that the young couple Fan Cong was talking about were his parents, smoking familiar cigarettes and carrying haunted house posters with them, eager to come to the haunted house all over the world to play, which only his family could do.

"Yes." Fan Cong looked back at Xiao Bu, and saw that Xiao Bu didn't react before continuing: "They hope that Xiao Bu can become the shadow of their children. ”

"Tell me more." Chen Ge's eyes narrowed.

"You've seen the dialogue in the game, it's hard to decipher, it probably means that their child's shadow is lost, so I hope Xiaobu can become the new shadow of his child. I know it's incredible, but that's what it's written in the game. In 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 solve the shadow. Fan Cong didn't know what he said, and what impact it had on Chen Ge.

"It's a shame that they came up with a red coat as a shadow." Now Xiaobu has entered the shelter, indicating that they have agreed to be Chen Ge's shadow, but his parents not only did not get rid of the shadow as agreed, but made themselves disappear, which made Chen Ge a little unsure of how to face Xiaobu: "I don't want to do so much, as long as I can kill the shadow, no matter who did it, it will be considered to have completed the agreement." ”

Entering the room, Chen Ge walked to the window, Xiaobu looked only seven or eight years old, the blood-like red clothes and her pale face formed a sharp contrast, just getting closer, Xu Yin issued a strong warning.

"She looks strong." Chen Ge saw the door out of control for the first time, and he didn't know what impact the door pusher would have after the door went out of control, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that after the door went out of control, the door pusher would become more terrifying.

"It was my parents who had an agreement with you before, and I was the one who lost his shadow in their mouths."

Hearing Chen Ge's words, the girl's eyelashes, who had been in a daze, moved slightly, she slowly turned around, and a sense of oppression that made Chen Ge almost suffocate came from in front of her.

"This ......"

The red dress floated up, Xiaobu had no hands and hands, and her heart was empty.

"This kid is like that door! The place where the door was removed, except for the head and the heart, corresponded to her body. ”

Looking at each other silently, no one would take the initiative to give up their freedom, Chen Ge finally knew why Xiaobu fled into the shelter.

Under the oppression, ignoring Xu Yin's warning, Chen Ge took another step forward, and there was a trace of distress in his eyes: "I didn't come here for any agreement, you have been injured too much, I can't feel a thousandth of your pain, so I won't comfort you from the perspective of a bystander, I understand that those comforts are in vain." ”

"Blood debt and blood payment, I will help you kill the shadow, and then let you no longer be alone." Chen Ge stopped in front of Xiao Bu, slowly squatted down, and looked at the numb face: "The scenery in this window is painted, and after the shadow is resolved, I will take you outside the door, go to all the places you want to go, and see all the scenery you want to see." ”

Chen Ge no longer mentions any agreements, and he will not let Xiaobu be his shadow.

may have sensed that Chen Ge was not lying, Xiaobu blinked, blood oozed from the window frame, and blood droplets gathered into a few words-People without a shadow can't live long, are you sure you won't let me be your shadow?
