In the rainy city, in the empty old street, Chen Ge and Zhang Ya stood together with umbrellas.

"Those dreams are so real, as if the world in the dream is reality."

Looking at Zhang Ya's eyes, Chen Ge's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say what he wanted to say after all, he hesitated for a while and looked away: "I can't tell which side is reality, but it doesn't matter, no matter where I am, I will stand with you and be inseparable." ”

Raindrops fall into the standing water on the side of the road, and the reflected neon lights ripple.

Zhang Ya leaned lightly on Chen Ge, she had never told others about the pain she had endured during this time, and after she finally said it at this time, the uneasiness and panic in her heart slowly disappeared.

Neither of them wanted to break this ephemeral beauty, and they walked a long way in the rain.

The rain continued to get heavier, and Chen Ge took a taxi to send Zhang Ya home.

When Zhang Ya got out of the car, she told Chen Ge one more thing.

Some time ago, there was a young man named Zhang Wenyu who came to visit the haunted house, and the tourist didn't look any different from other tourists, and Zhang Ya also read the waiver agreement to know that he was called Zhang Wenyu.

After Zhang Ya returned home, Chen Ge took a taxi back to the haunted house in the paradise, he opened the cabinet where the waiver agreement was stored, checked the agreements one by one, and finally found twelve agreements with Zhang Wenyu's name written on them.

"Looking at the date, Zhang Wenyu appears more and more frequently, originally every other week, since I arrived at the haunted house, this name has appeared on the agreement almost every day." Chen Ge was in charge of pretending to be a ghost on the third floor of the haunted house, and the tourists outside were mainly Zhang Ya who was receiving them, because they were very busy, everyone didn't pay attention to the exemption agreement.

"Zhang Wenyu came to look for me, maybe he has already seen me." Chen Ge took the exemption agreement and sat at the wooden table: "Why are there so many people named Zhang Wenyu?" Zuo Han has read the case list in the night shift doctor's duty room, why did these tens of thousands of patients named Zhang Wenyu appear on the same day? ”

Pressing his temples, Chen Ge had no memories related to Zhang Wenyu in his mind, his locked memory fragments had been transferred to the glass jar, and there were only some sporadic memories in his head that had been unlocked.

Putting away all the exemption agreements with Zhang Wenyu's name written on them, Chen Ge walked towards the staff lounge, and when he passed by the bathroom of the haunted house, he subconsciously glanced inside, and the door of the toilet cubicle was closed by someone who didn't know who closed it.

Casually opened the door of the compartment, Chen Ge entered the lounge, he held the white cat, and watched the rain falling more and more outside the window.

"I know a lot of things from the past, but none of those things are good."

Chen Ge raised his hand, as if he was about to reach out to the night sky.

"Now I have the beauty I once hoped for, but time will not stop at this moment."

Picking up the white cat, Chen Ge looked at the white cat's heterochromatic eyes: "If you were me, what would you choose?" ”

Chen Ge is asking the white cat, and he is also asking himself.

The torrential rain stopped in the second half of the night, and Chen Ge tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep.

……

Opening his eyes, the sun shining on his face through the window, Chen Ge rubbed his head and got up from the bed: "A new day has begun." ”

He got dressed and took the white cat into the bathroom to wash, and when he looked up at the mirror, he realized that the toilet cubicle door behind him had been closed again.

"I remember opening it before I went to bed last night? Why is it closed again now? Could it be that the wind blows? ”

Chen Ge opened the door of the cubicle again and looked inside a few times, this was a very ordinary toilet cubicle, there was nothing abnormal.

"It always feels weird."

After a brief cleaning, Chen Ge opened the protective fence of the haunted house and started today's business.

The first to come to work was Zhang Ya, and after the two went shopping together last night, the relationship became a lot closer.

Zhang Ya's parents seem to have deliberately wanted to make as much time as possible for the two to be alone, and it took a long time to get to the haunted house.

Shinkai Paradise opens at nine a.m., and visitors flock to the park and form a long line in front of the haunted house.

Chen Ge, who was dressed as a murderer, opened the curtain of a window on the second floor at this time and watched everything in secret.

All morning, there were no incidents in the haunted house.

When it was time to eat at noon, Chen Ge, who was dressed in a murderer suit, began to flip through the morning waiver agreement.

After signing the waiver agreement, the agreement will be stored in a locker inside the haunted house, so you can roughly calculate the time of the visitor's visit from the location of the agreement.

As soon as Chen Ge flipped over two copies, he stopped moving, and at this time, the exemption agreement he was holding in his hand happened to have the word Zhang Wenyu written on it!

"I shouldn't have gone far!"

He took the agreement and found Zhang Ya, Zhang Ya recalled for a moment and said that it was a middle-aged man who signed the agreement, and that person was very temperamental, with sharp eyes, which made people dare not look at him.

After knowing the general appearance of the person, Chen Ge rushed out of the haunted house with the agreement, he didn't change his clothes, he was covered with red paint, and he looked very scary: "Zhang Wenyu, where will he be?" ”

Passing through the tree-lined path, Chen Ge stopped at the fork in the middle of the park, there were too many tourists around, even if his eyesight was very good, it was difficult to find that person in the crowd at this time.

"He keeps coming to the haunted house, he probably wants to see me, but why didn't he leave some messages?"

After stopping for a long time at the fork in the road, just as Chen Ge was about to give up, he found a man looking at him in the corner of the park-themed restaurant.

"Is that him?"

Chen Ge didn't hesitate, walked directly into the restaurant with the disclaimer agreement, and sat next to the man.

Looking at the man in front of him up close, Chen Ge felt a familiar feeling in his heart, and he felt that he was not wrong.

"Long time no see." The middle-aged man took a sip of coffee from his cup and leaned back in his chair.

"Long time no see? We should have met for the first time. Chen Ge put the exemption agreement on the table: "You are Zhang Wenyu?" ”

"I'm a part of Zhang Wenyu, you can call me ......" Tapping his fingers on the table, the middle-aged man thought for a while before saying, "Writer." ”

"Writers?"

"Looks like you really don't remember anything." The middle-aged man stood up directly, he seemed to sense that something was wrong and was about to leave immediately.

"Don't rush to leave, can we have a good talk?"

"When you're really determined, come back to me." The writer doesn't drag his feet in the water, it seems that every second he spends here is more dangerous.

"What determination?" Chen Ge grabbed the writer's wrist.

"When the truth is so cruel that you will regret it when you know it, are you still willing to pursue the truth?" The writer pulled away Chen Ge's hand and put something in Chen Ge's palm: "If you want, then come here alone to find me." ”

After saying that, the writer hurriedly blended into the crowd and quickly disappeared.

Chen Ge looked down at his palm, where there was a napkin, and on the paper was written a place name-Ping'an Apartment.

Putting away the napkin and the waiver agreement, Chen Ge thoughtfully left the park restaurant.

He walked in the park wearing a murderer suit in a haunted house, and many adults who came to the amusement park with their children quickly covered their children's eyes after seeing Chen Ge, and many people took pictures of Chen Ge.

"Chen Ge!" Zhang Ya, dressed as a ghost in red, trotted after him: "Why did you suddenly run here?" ”

"I ...... just now" Chen Ge did not hide it from Zhang Ya: "I met Zhang Wenyu." ”

"Let's go back, it's not good for the two of us to be seen by tourists like this." Zhang Ya dragged Chen Ge back to the haunted house, and after a simple lunch, they started their afternoon work again.

It was busy until five or six o'clock, when the haunted house was closed, Chen Ge changed out of the murderer suit and began to sort out the props and mechanisms inside the scene.

He was walking through the floor when he heard footsteps.

Turning his head to look, Chen Ge found that Zhang Ya had walked up from downstairs.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I'm fine, but you've been absent-minded since you met Zhang Wenyu." Zhang Ya walked up to Chen Ge: "Is he your former friend?" If you have a problem, you can discuss it with me. ”

"I don't remember him at all, maybe we knew each other before, he seems to know my past." Chen Ge had a little headache, and he pressed his temple.

"Then you go to him and ask him clearly, no matter whether the past is good or bad, it is the former you, with your memories and the truest self." Zhang Ya has been encouraging Chen Ge.

"But what if my past is bad, and even now?" Chen Ge leaned back against the corridor of the haunted house, and the cold walls made him slowly calm down: "I know very well that what I have now is what I have been longing for before. If I had never experienced this feeling, I might have easily chosen to give up, but now I am so reluctant that I don't even dare to take the risk of making a decision. ”

As Chen Ge was speaking, his cold hand suddenly felt a trace of warmth.

Looking down, Chen Ge found that Zhang Ya gently grabbed his hand.

"Zhang Ya?"

"Didn't you say that last night? No matter where I am, I will stand with you, inseparable. So don't worry about whether to pursue the past or maintain the present, what you have to do is to find your true self. Zhang Ya took Chen Ge's hand: "Let's go, don't think so much, let's go to dinner, my mother bought a lot of food." ”

The haunted house business is getting better and better, and Zhang Ya's parents are very happy, they bought wine and food, and ate with Chen Ge until late before leaving.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Ge, who was alone in the props room, suddenly heard the sound of the window being opened.

He grabbed the hammer from his toolbox and leaned his back against the wall, hiding his body in the shadows.

Chen Ge didn't go directly to the person who came in, but first came to the general control room and turned off all the lights in the haunted house.

He was very familiar with the terrain of the haunted house, and his eyesight was ridiculously good, so he gave himself an absolute advantage in an instant.

Holding the tool hammer in his hand, Chen Ge held his breath, he listened with his ears up, followed the subtle footsteps, and came to the door of the staff lounge.

Just outside the staff lounge, a dark figure stood.

He approached quietly, walking without a sound, and the dark shadow did not realize that there was another person a few meters behind him.

He twisted the doorknob, as if he was struggling to open it, when a huge force suddenly grabbed his neck.

"What's your name? Why do you enter a haunted house in the middle of the night? A cold and terrifying voice sounded in the figure's ears, and his cold sweat flowed down.

"Chen Ge?! I'm Zuo Han! Zuo Han! Own! The figure shouted loudly, and it was obvious that he was really scared.

"Zuo Han?" Hearing a familiar voice, Chen Ge let go of the figure and turned on the light in the corridor.

Zuo Han, who was wearing a shabby brown coat, lay on the ground, gasping for air.

"It's a roommate! Why didn't you say hello to me when you came in? ”

"Did you give me time to speak!" Zuo Han rubbed his neck, and after he raised his head, Chen Ge's eyebrows instantly furrowed.

Zuo Han had a seven-centimeter-long wound on his left eye, and his left eye seemed to have been removed.

"Your eyes?" Chen Ge put down the tool hammer and quickly helped Zuo Han up.

"It's a deal." Zuo Han said indifferently.

"You trade your own eyes?" Chen Ge was also taken aback by Zuo Han's ruthlessness: "Is it with the doctor in the hospital?" ”

"No, I escaped from the hospital when you went to the treatment room for treatment." Zuo Han recalled what happened a month ago: "That day, I received a notice from Dr. Gao that I would go to the treatment room with you in the evening for treatment, and I felt something was wrong at that time, plus another doctor gave me a hint. When the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, so I decided to 'escape' from prison. ”

Chen Ge also remembered the situation that night, when Dr. Gao treated himself for the first time, there were a total of seven people in the treatment room, including five patients and two doctors.

At that time, Dr. Ko said that two patients had escaped, so he and Dr. Sun would take the place of the patients.

"Zuo Han, what is the surname of the doctor who hinted at you, do you remember?"

"I don't know who left me the tips, but based on my guess, it must have been the doctors inside the hospital who could give me the tips at that time." Zuo Han's reasoning ability is extremely strong.

Chen Ge nodded, he felt that Zuo Han was able to escape smoothly, first because the hospital did not pay attention to Zuo Han, and he didn't know that Zuo Han had already begun to doubt his memory, and secondly, because there were doctors secretly helping him. And this doctor who secretly helped Zuo Han is likely to be Dr. Sun. After all, only by helping Zuo Han leave could he have the opportunity to participate in Chen Ge's treatment.

"You didn't make a deal with a doctor, so who else in this city would trade with eyeballs?" Chen Ge led Zuo Han into the staff lounge and asked him to sit on the bed.

"Eyeballs are both a deal and a price." Zuo Han opened the zipper of his coat, revealing the unhealed wounds on his collarbone and chest: "This is the price of investigating the truth." ”

Looking at the terrible wounds on Zuo Han's body, Chen Ge brought the medicine box of the haunted house: "What have you been doing all this time?" ”

"I'm wanted all over the city right now, so I'll cut a long story short." Zuo Han got up and closed the curtains, making sure that there was no one outside before speaking: "I don't know if the world we live in is realistic, but I can be sure of one thing, when you have doubts about this world, doom and terror will come." ”
