"Why is this happening? Mental illness in general has a trigger, and it is impossible for him to suffer from it for no reason. ”

Many people have phobias, but few of them are so severe.

The kid in the back room seems to have reached the point where he can't get rid of his fear on his own without taking drugs, and this situation is very dangerous.

"You're right, but I don't know how this kid got sick, I'm just helping someone take care of him." The woman spoke very slowly, and after the boy in the back room took the drug, his condition seemed to be much better, and the woman relaxed.

"This is a mental illness, and if you want to alleviate the symptoms, you have to find the cause." Chen Ge took a few steps towards where the woman was, he couldn't see anything, he could only touch the wall and get closer.

"I also wanted to find the cause, but no matter how I asked, the kid just wouldn't say it, and he didn't seem to know it himself." The woman's voice was a little helpless: "Then I gave up." ”

"Can I have a few words with him? I specialize in mental illness. Chen Ge was very glad that he had met Dr. Gao, and the tone and demeanor he spoke now were very similar to Dr. Gao, who had not blackened at the beginning.

The psychiatrist must first let the patient let down his guard before he can slowly enter the other party's world, and Chen Ge meets this condition very well in terms of appearance and feeling.

"You're a psychiatrist? I remember that no one in this building was doing this profession, you were new to moving in? ”

"Well, I can assure you that I have no ill intentions." Chen Ge smiled bitterly and pointed to his eyes: "I can't see anything, I don't have any ability to resist, if I do something that makes you unsatisfied, you can always drive me away." ”

Blindness has made Chen Ge a weakness, and he is making the most of this weakness.

"That kid is fragile, just don't talk nonsense." The woman took the initiative to grab Chen Ge's arm: "Slow down, there is a sofa in front, go to the left......"

Chen Ge found a problem, these adult residents are not as bad as those monsters in the world behind the door, of course, they can't be said to be good, they give Chen Ge the feeling of being ordinary people in life: "I really don't want to associate them with corpses." ”

Under the guidance of the woman, Chen Ge entered the inner room, and the stench in the air became thicker, and what was worse was that there was an additional smell of rotting meat, which was not smelled in the middle-aged man's room.

"By the way, can you tell me what your relationship is with this kid?"

"Relationship?" The woman thought for a while, and said an answer that Chen Ge hadn't thought of before: "It's a friend, he has nowhere to go, I'll take care of him first." ”

The woman's answer was ambiguous, and she walked out after she finished speaking, leaving Chen Ge and the boy in the back room.

Touching the wall and wardrobe, Chen Ge's legs touched the bed, and he sat down slowly: "Can you hear my voice?" I'm sorry, I can't see you, if you're by my side, can you say a word, or pat my hand lightly. ”

Spreading out his palm, Chen Ge waited for a long time and suddenly felt a trace of coolness in his palm, that kind of coldness was different from the cold feeling of the corpse, the touch was very soft, it didn't look like being touched at all, it was more like a cold wind blew.

"Ying Hitomi?"

Chen Ge subconsciously said the name, but he didn't get a response, and a moment later, a boy's voice came from more than a meter away from Chen Ge: "My name is Ah Mu." ”

This boy's voice is fifty or sixty percent similar to Ying Tong's voice in reality, and he is very immature.

Chen Ge has read the information of Ying Chen and Ying Tong, in reality, Ying Tong is ten years old, but the voice of the child in front of him is more like a four or five-year-old child.

"Amu, can you tell your uncle how you met that big sister outside?" Chen Ge wanted to find out the identity of the adult first, if the woman could be trusted, then he would do everything possible to win the other party into his camp, it was too dangerous to be alone in the building.

"You mean the Lady of the Skirt?" The boy asked timidly.

"Lady of the skirt?" The boy called the woman very strangely, and it felt like the name was casually given by the little boy himself: "Do you usually call her that?" ”

"Well, Lady Skirt and Mr. Wood have been taking care of me, they are very nice people, playing games with me and doing all kinds of things together." The boy's voice was innocent and cute, but Chen Ge got goosebumps when he heard it.

In his opinion, all the residents in this building, except for Ying Tong and Ying Chen, were corpses.

Names like Lady Skirt and Mr. Wood seemed to be made by the child himself, and a guess came to his mind, but because it was too cruel, he didn't dare to say it to test Ame.

"Are Lady Skirt and Mr. Wood husband and wife?" Chen Ge asked casually.

"No, the lady of the skirt is very fond of being angry and has a bad temper, and Mr. Wood doesn't like her very much." The little boy's voice was timid: "Mr. Wood and I are both a little afraid of the skirt lady. ”

"I heard it all!" The woman's voice came from the living room: "Who taught you this?" ”

It is true that a woman's temper does not look very good.

"But although the lady in the skirt has a bad temper, she also has a gentle side, and every time I am sick, she always comes to take care of me, and will chat with me and tell me stories." The picture described by the boy was very beautiful, and he may have had a smile on his face when he said this, but unfortunately Chen Ge couldn't see anything, only the child's voice could be heard.

"She always shows up every time you're sick? Did your dad and mom ask her to take care of you? Chen Ge tried to open the boy's memory little by little.

"Yes, my dad and mom went to a far away place, and when they left, they asked Mrs. Skirt, Mr. Wood, and Miss Red to take care of me."

"Three?" He was talking about three people, but Chen Ge was talking about three corpses in his heart.

"Ame, can you tell my uncle what the three of them look like?" Chen Ge didn't ask anything that would make the boy miserable, he didn't mention the phobia of sharp weapons, he didn't ask the boy how he got this disease, but instead followed the fairy tale told by the boy, as if he was the most loyal listener.

"The lady of the skirt has been wearing a long skirt, and there are so many flowers embroidered on the skirt that it feels different to the touch; Mr. Wood doesn't like to talk, and his skin is hard to the touch, like tree bark. Miss Hong loves cleanliness, her hair is always wet, she is very fond of red, everything around her is red. The boy was not an introvert and seemed to be very communicative, so he told the names and characteristics of the three as if to show off.

Chen Ge didn't pay attention to the introduction of Miss Skirt and Mr. Wood, but the last Miss Hong caught Chen Ge's attention.

The features of the Lady of the Skirt and Mr. Wood are both touchable by hand, except for Miss Red, whose name has a red letter in her name, and the colors are indistinguishable to the blind.

The boy in front of him called himself Amu, and the lady in the skirt also said before that the child's eyes were normal and not blind, so it stands to reason that he could not be Ying Hitomi.

But Chen Ge heard the boy's voice, and felt that the boy's voice was very similar to Ying Tong, there could be no such coincidence in this world, he thought that the boy must be related to Ying Tong, but some kind of change happened in the middle.

Chen Ge asked for some more information about the boy's parents, and through the boy's words, he could hear that the boy missed his parents very much.

In the boy's memory, his parents were very good to him, caring for him all the time, and the boy's parents were like a pair of gentle hands gently caring for him in the palm of their hands.

Talking about this, Chen Ge has already discovered the problem, the boy retains a lot of good things in his memory, he once had a very good past, and at this time, it will feel very abrupt when he looks at the kind of disease he has.

Why does a child who lives in such a warm environment suffer from a phobia of sharp weapons?

Why would he fantasize about someone holding something sharp to blind him when he sees it?

What exactly did he go through? At what moment did the most pivotal change in his life begin?

After having a general understanding of the boy's living situation, Chen Ge cautiously asked the next question: "Ah Mu, do you know Ying Chen and Ying Tong who live on the seventh floor?" ”

"I don't know, I've been in the house and I've never gone out."

"Don't recognize?" In order to be sure, Chen Ge asked the lady in the dress in the living room again, "Ah Mu has never walked out of this room?" ”

"Yes, he suffers from a phobia of sharp weapons, not to mention seeing sharp things, even hearing the words sharp weapons and sharp will react, how can I let him out with confidence?" The voice of the lady in the skirt came from the living room, and then Chen Ge heard the sound of pouring water, and after a while, the footsteps sounded again: "Do you want to drink something?" ”

"No need." Chen Ge didn't dare to drink the water poured by strangers casually, especially when he couldn't see it: "Ah Mu doesn't know Ying Tong and Ying Chen, but you, as a resident here, should know their two brothers, right?" ”

"Of course, the two brothers are very pitiful, their parents died young, and they were raised by relatives." The lady in the skirt seems to know Ying Chen and Ying Hitomi very well.

"And what is your impression of the two brothers?" Chen Ge finally found a "person" who was willing to communicate with him, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask.

"His brother didn't have a good character, he was enthusiastic, kind, he especially likes small animals, he works hard, he has excellent grades, and he is the one I like. As for his brother, I don't have a good evaluation, I feel that his brother is just a drag oil bottle, blind in both eyes, unable to take care of himself, and always likes to say some inexplicable things, as if his mind is not normal. The words of the skirt lady made Chen Ge feel deeply uneasy, in the skirt lady's heart, Ying Chen was so perfect, and Ying Tong's image was very bad.

"Sometimes what the eye sees isn't necessarily true." Chen Ge felt that even if he directly told the other party that Ying Chen was a murderer, the other party would definitely not believe it.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you are also blind, I don't mean to discriminate against blind people, but his brother has a really bad personality. has always been taken care of by his brother, living on his brother, and always looking for trouble, always running out secretly, he doesn't want to leave his brother, what does he live on as a blind person? "The lady in the skirt spoke very straight.

"You hate Ying Hitomi so much? Do you think Ying Hitomi and Ah Mu look alike? Chen Ge couldn't see with his eyes, but he felt that he could infer something even from his voice, but the lady in the skirt didn't seem to have noticed the connection between Ah Mu and Ying Tong at all.

"No kidding, Amu just celebrated his sixth birthday, and that Ying Hitomi is almost ten years old, and his body type and height are completely different."

"I mean, looks, what are you doing with your height?" Chen Ge wanted to verify his guess, and he kept asking.

"I really can't see the appearance, Ying Tong's face is very scary, and it is completely different from Amu." The next words of the skirt lady made Chen Ge feel a chill: "Ying Tong rarely goes out, I remember the first time he secretly ran away from home, and as a result, he fell off the pile of rubble, a large piece of skin was broken on his face, and a nail was pierced near his eyes, if his brother hadn't found him in time, the consequences would have been really unimaginable." ”

"Disfigured?" Chen Ge felt that this was an accident created by Ying Chen, and Ying Tong probably knew it himself, so he fled again and again.

It's just that the reality is that Ying Tong escaped again and again, but was caught back by Ying Chen again and again.

What I am experiencing now is exactly what Ying Tong experienced, and it was really difficult for a blind person to avoid Ying Chen.

"Well, although the looks and heights are different, have you noticed that their voices are very similar?" Chen Ge still didn't give up, he finally met a reliable "person", and he really didn't want to give up.

"There is a little similarity between their voices, but this doesn't mean anything, it's normal for the little boy to have similar voices before the voice change period."

"Why can't I tell you?" Chen Ge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Okay, let's not discuss this issue, then you tell me what is the situation of Ah Mo's parents?" Why did they ask you to take care of Amu? ”

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" The lady in the skirt seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Chen Ge, and she grabbed Chen Ge's arm and dragged him out of the back room.

"What do you want to do?"

The woman closed the door to the back room and made sure Amu couldn't hear before whispering, "Didn't Amu tell you that his parents had gone far away?" Why do you even ask this kind of question? I doubt you're a psychiatrist. ”

"Did Azu's parents die?"

"That's right, Ah Mu is an orphan, an orphan that Ying Chen saw outside the community, helpless, no one to take care of, and finally several owners in our community summed it up and decided to adopt them together."

"Them?" Chen Ge captures the key words in the woman's words.

"They are triplets, Ah Mu, Ah Tong, Ah Ying, the three children were all discovered by Ying Chen, he looked at the children pitiful, but he was not able to take care of them, so he thought that we would take care of them first, and then send the three children to the welfare home after the formalities were completed." What the skirt lady said made Chen Ge take a breath.

"These three children are entrusted to you to take care of them by the ministers?"

"What do you think? In such an indifferent society now, there are very few selfless and kind-hearted people like Ying Chen, and he has spent a lot of time and energy for these three children. "The impression of the lady in the skirt is very good, and it is not something that can be changed in a few words.

"Do all three of these children suffer from some kind of disease?" Chen Ge looked through the appearance and directly asked a key point.

"How do you know? Yes, there are no physical defects, and it is estimated that they have been adopted a long time ago. The lady in the skirt whispered, "Amu suffers from a phobia of sharp objects; Ah Tong suffers from a very severe phobia of confinement, and he goes crazy when he stays alone in a room; Ah Ying's illness is less common, it is called screaming phobia, and he will get sick when he hears screams and screams. ”

"Have you ever wondered why these three children got such a disease? And why did Ying Chen find them first? ”

"I haven't thought about this issue, it may be related to the child's biological parents."

"But in Ame's memory, his parents were very kind to him, and that was the warmest part of his memory."

Speaking of this, Chen Ge's face had become very bad.

It was only through this pitiful clue that he had a very bold guess in his mind.

Ms. Skirt, Mr. Wood, and Miss Hong are all dead people who were killed by Ying Chen in reality, and the imprisoned Ying Tong knew the truth, but he didn't dare to tell anyone, and even became "friends" with the three corpses in the end.

In Chen Ge's opinion, although Ying Tong has a problem with his eyes, he is not completely blind.

This child survived under Ying Chen's bad taste and suffered from many mental illnesses, but he knew very well in his heart that he could only live as a blind person, so he sealed his vulnerability, fear and the only good memories left, forming the naïve Ah Mu, Ah Ying, and Ah Tong.

As for himself, he honestly acted as a blind man, constantly looking for a way out.
