The rusty gate closed tightly, and Chen Ge took down the sign on it that he should not approach and entered the abandoned children's playground.

Rainbow doors with paint off, fountains without water, and merry-go-rounds that can no longer turn.

No one had come in for a long time, and Chen Ge walked around and finally stopped at the door of the warehouse.

In a room overgrown with mold, a worn-out robot cat cartoon coat is thrown.

"Hello? Are you still there? ”

Chen Ge never hung up the phone, but until now, no one on the phone responded.

He walked into the warehouse, picked up the cartoon puppet costume on the ground, and held the robot cat's head in one hand.

"I'll help you put away the clothes first, you have a good rest, and I'll wake you up when it's dawn."

Chen Ge found a big bag next to him and stuffed the cartoon doll costume into it, and when he folded the costume, he found a photo in the pocket of the robot cat's belly.

It seems to have been taken in a hospital, where a young father is talking to a doctor, and a scrawny boy is hiding behind the young man.

Putting away the photos, when Chen Ge looked at the phone again, he found that the phone had been hung up.

"I forgot to ask his name." Chen Ge thought about it for a while and found that neither the online reports nor the landlord's eldest sister had ever called out the man's name.

It's like he's living in a cartoon doll costume, and people only know that there is such a robot cat in the park that likes children.

Holding the mobile phone, Chen Ge looked at the phone number on it.

Two calls, two different lives, two different deceased.

"What exactly does this number mean? Why did everyone who died call this number before they died? How the hell am I going to find the ghost I draw? ”

Chen Ge thought about it, he didn't have any thoughts, he decided to continue fighting.

Carrying a large bag of cartoon costumes in one hand, he dialed the phone number with the other.

"In terms of probability, the powerful ghosts drawn this time should be even more powerful than Yan Danian and Lao Zhou combined."

After three or four busy sounds, the phone was finally connected, and with the experience of the first two times, Chen Ge spoke directly this time: "Hello, can I help you with anything?" ”

It was noisy on the phone, and Chen Ge heard the sound of a train passing by.

When the sound of the train died down, the phone was quiet again, and the children could be faintly heard reciting something.

"Hello?" Chen Ge walked out of the Children's Kingdom Paradise with the bag, called a taxi, and told the driver to drive forward casually.

The whirring wind came from the mobile phone, Chen Ge did not urge the other party, he waited patiently, and he didn't know how long it took, a violent coughing sound suddenly sounded in the mobile phone.

"You...... You okay? Feeling unwell? Chen Ge's voice is very warm, and it can give people strength at any time: "Do you need me to help you do anything?" ”

"Thanks, no need." The man on the other side of the phone seemed to have charcoal stuffed into his throat, and his voice was very unpleasant, accompanied by a violent cough as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Your condition doesn't look good, don't stay outside, go home quickly, or you tell me your location, and I'll take you to the hospital." Chen Ge summarized the first two calls, he arrived after the phone hung up, and this time he was going to find the other party before the phone hung up.

"Thank you for your kindness, but just send it to the hospital, my illness can't be cured by the hospital." The man's cough took a long time to ease up, and he walked forward slowly, the wind was a little loud.

"Can't be cured by the hospital?"

"Yes, I've been in the hospital for a long time, but the diseases just don't get better, and I don't even feel like they're sick, but a part of my body."

The man's words, Chen Ge didn't understand a little: "Brother, what kind of disease do you have?" ”

"Lung cancer, it's advanced."

The man seemed to be telling a very ordinary little thing, but Chen Ge's heart thumped when he listened: "Then why are you still alone outside?" What about your family? I'll send you back, it's windy outside. ”

"It's really windy today." The man coughed a few times from time to time, and he was in very poor physical condition, as if he was going to fall at any moment: "I sneaked out without telling my family." ”

A patient with terminal lung cancer sneaked out without telling his family, Chen Ge thought of the protagonist of the first two phone calls in his mind, and he immediately realized that something was wrong: "It's too dangerous for you to do this, can you tell me where you are now?" I won't interfere with any of your decisions, how about just walking with you? ”

"I just walked slowly on my own, in fact, since I found out that I had lung cancer, I have always wanted to visit a place."

"Going somewhere?"

"It's built on a high place, and you have to climb a lot of stairs to get there."

"Do you want to go to the Jiujiang World Trade Center? Why go there? Chen Ge rarely goes to the city, but he knows that the World Trade Center is the highest place in Jiujiang, and standing there can overlook the entire Jiujiang.

Thinking of this, Chen Ge immediately gestured to the driver and asked him to drive to the Jiujiang World Trade Center.

The man didn't answer Chen Ge's question, he kept coughing, and he felt very uncomfortable just listening to it on the phone.

"Brother, if you don't stay where you are, I'll pick you up later."

"No need." After the man finished coughing, he seemed to think that Chen Ge was really a good person, and after he was silent for a while, he took the initiative to speak: "You are very similar to my previous attending doctor, whether it is the tone of speech or the style of doing things, you won't be the one he pretends, right?" ”

"The attending doctor?" Chen Ge was thinking very seriously about whether he should play any role so that he could easily use the other party's words.

He knew in his heart that there was something wrong with his number, and every deceased person finally dialed this number.

If you think about it, the last person the deceased came into contact with is likely to be a doctor, so it is possible that this number belongs to a certain doctor.

"Don't take it to heart, I'll just talk about it." The man had no sense of humor, and he smiled reluctantly, and he could be heard to be in pain.

"Brother, can you tell me about you? Some things can be very uncomfortable when you bury them in your heart, so it's better to say them. The southern suburbs are not far from the World Trade Center, and Chen Ge feels that he should be able to catch up this time.

"I don't have anything to do, I was a very ordinary person in the first half of my life, maybe the reason for my irregular smoking schedule was that I was diagnosed with lung cancer last year." The man's voice was flat, and there were not much emotional ups and downs other than coughing.

"I did three sessions at the cancer hospital, and then I went home, ready to enjoy the last time and be a happy person."

"I'm not a coward, I'm trying to fight it, it's a tug-of-war, I'm going to beat it with the best mentality and the happiest thing, and it wants to crush me with pain and fear."

"This war that happened to my body was very tragic, I told it that Lao Tzu would not admit defeat, and it also used all kinds of means to make me bow my head."

"Breathing becomes difficult, persistent body aches, low-grade fever, etc."

"My weight has been dropping, my limbs are so painful that I can't lift up, and every cough affects my whole body, but I just can't bear to take painkillers."

"I'm really not a coward." This is the second time a man has stressed that he is not a coward.

Chen Ge didn't ask the reason, just nodded and said three words: "I understand." ”

The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "About a month later, a lymph node appeared on my neck that I could feel with my fingers, and at that time I always felt that I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't even drink water. ”

"After seeing the doctor, they said it was because of the long-term coughing up of blood that caused the swelling of the throat and the continuous swelling of the lymph nodes, which compressed the esophagus."

"I didn't defeat my last enemy, and now I have another opponent, but I still won't admit defeat." The man is a very stubborn person, just like he has always emphasized to Chen Ge, a stranger, that he is not a coward.

The wind became louder, and the sound of the children reciting the poems just now was no longer audible, and the man continued to walk.

"Brother, just tell me where you are now, right? Shall I pick you up? Chen Ge was really worried about the other party, he always felt that he could change something in the past now, even if there was little hope.

"I'm up a long flight of stairs." The man tried to laugh and speak, but his mouth began to cough violently.

"On the stairs?" Chen Ge listened to the whirring wind on the man's side and felt that something was wrong.

A staircase built on the outside of the building? Could it be that he has already arrived at the World Trade Center? He climbed to the very top?

Chen Ge had been to the World Trade Center before, where there were no outdoor stairs, and he realized that he might be in the wrong place.

"I'm stepping on the stairs, climbing step by step to the place I want to go, and I should be almost there." When the man spoke, the feeling of physical pain did not disappear, and every cough was an ordeal for him.

Chen Ge asked the somewhat impatient driver to stop the car first, he took his mobile phone and thought about the man's words from the beginning.

Stairs, where you want to go is at a high place......

Chen Ge could hear the hidden pain in the man's words, and the other party had been emphasizing his tragic battle with the disease, emphasizing that he was not a coward, and emphasizing that he had not escaped.

Why would such a person sneak out one day behind his family's back?

Why did he go somewhere high when he was in such pain?

Chen Ge listened carefully, the man's body was very weak, his steps were gentle, and it didn't look like he was climbing a building.

"A staircase built on flat ground? Is there such a place? Chen Ge was thinking about it, and something suddenly flashed in his mind, when the phone was just connected, he had heard the sound of a train leaving!

Rail!

There were sleepers in the middle of the railroad tracks, like stairs laid on the flat ground, and if you thought so, the high place that the man was going to was not a World Trade Center at all.

He's looking for death!

At the end of this ladder is death, which for him is also the place where all suffering ends.

It is precisely because he gave up that he has always emphasized to Chen Ge, a stranger, that he is not a coward.

Thinking of this, Chen Ge immediately began to search on the Internet.

He had also heard the sound of children reciting ancient texts, and there were two Chinese schools in Jiujiang, one of which happened to be built not far from the railway.

Raising his mobile phone, Chen Ge motioned for the driver to drive towards this place.

After doing all this, he began to try to comfort the man, trying to buy as much time as possible.
