As soon as they entered the dense forest, Xu Yin appeared quietly before walking far.
Chen Ge didn't call his name, but he appeared on his own, which meant that he sensed something dangerous, and the other party could kill Chen Ge before he showed up.
There was nothing unusual around them, but several red-coated men were acting strangely, as if danger was hidden around them.
The leaves were blown by the wind, and the rain slid down the veins of the leaves. Chen Ge walked in the dense forest for a long time, and he even lost the concept of time.
The further you go into the woods, the cooler the temperature becomes, and the surroundings slowly become quieter.
Xu Yin walked in front, the bright red blood mixed with the rain. He pushed aside the dead branches, and a rugged path appeared in front of him.
There were withered flowers planted on both sides of the road, and a gray hut could be vaguely seen at the end of the road.
"When I was a kid, I came in with a puppet I made. You didn't kill me, you just seriously injured the puppet. I'm always fair, and I won't kill you today. I'll beat you until you're dying and then put it in a comic book.
Walk."
On a rainy night, several people in red clothes followed Chen Ge, and everyone moved forward silently.
"It seems that this place is not something that everyone can discover. If Xu Yin hadn't led the way, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to get in."
Approaching the hut, the vague images in Chen Ge's memory matched reality. Things that had been about to be forgotten resurfaced in his mind, and they had never been so clear as now.
"be careful."
He was almost killed here, so Chen Ge is very cautious now. He feels that he is getting closer to the truth.
The fence in the small courtyard had been knocked down and was covered with moss. There were many empty flower pots placed in the yard.
These flower pots are also very interesting. All flower pots are the same size and can just fit an adult's head.
In addition to flower pots, there are also some entertainment facilities placed in the yard, including a broken wooden horse, a rusty seesaw, and a swing with a broken rope.
"It seems like no one has been here for a long time."
Even if it is abandoned, it means that no more children will be killed.
Crossing the muddy path, Chen Ge pushed open the door of the gray hut.
A faint stench wafted out of the house, and the tip of Chen Ge's nose twitched slightly. He stood at the door and did not go in.
"I have smelled this kind of odor in Liwan Town. It is very special and cannot be described. It is not as strong as the smell of corpses. It contains a kind of coldness. After inhaling it, I feel that my whole lungs are shaking."
Using Yin Pu, Chen Ge looked into the room.
Most of the furniture in the house was damaged, and the floor was covered with debris and children's torn clothes.
"This house shouldn't have looked like this in the first place."
Chen Ge looked at the mess, but another picture appeared in his mind.
The same small house is surrounded by the laughter of children. The walls are covered with light blue and pink wallpaper. The table is not high and filled with toys and delicious food.
"Has the ghost who lived here left?"
Chen Ge was about to walk into the house when his phone suddenly vibrated, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
"I have the numbers of Captain Li and Captain Yan. Who would call me at this time if it's not the police?"
After pressing the answer button, a boy's crisp voice came from the phone.
"Chen Ge, when will you take me home..."
"Fan Yu?" Chen Ge didn't react for a moment.
"Mr. Chen, it's me, we met just now." Another familiar voice came from the other side of the phone. It was the staff member of the welfare home calling: "Fan Yu, let me say a few words first.
"
"Did you find anything there?" Chen Ge left his mobile phone number to the orphanage. He was not surprised at all that the other party could contact him, but Fan Yu, who didn't like to talk, suddenly took the initiative to call his name, which surprised him.
Besides, there is also a hint of happiness.
"A major discovery was that the files and treatments before the Hanjiang Welfare Institute was renovated were locked in the warehouse. We focused on screening the information related to Fang Yu and found that there was information about a child missing from their class."
"Information about a child missing?"
"Yes, it's like it has been completely erased. You may not believe it. The number of people in treatment statistics is always one less. There is also a boy whose face is blurred in the group photo, which is exactly the same as the photo you showed me!
"The staff at the welfare home gave Chen Ge a very important tip: "I just called and asked some seniors who were working in the private orphanage at that time. Everyone has an impression of the chatty boy and knows that there is such a person.
He exists, but no one can remember what he looks like."
"Has everyone forgotten what he looks like?"
"Not only the appearance, but also the name, age, etc."
"Besides this, have you found any other clues?"
"I heard from a senior that the boy was very talkative when he was a child, but gradually became normal when he grew up. Everyone thought he was cured, but in fact he was not." The staff of the welfare home revealed another secret: "He became normal again."
His illness became more serious, but as he grew up, he understood that people didn't like him like that, so he suppressed his nature. The senior saw with his own eyes that the boy would run to a corner where no one was, and kept talking to himself
She talked to herself and developed the habit of writing a diary. Let’s call it a diary. She peeked at it once. The diary was densely packed with words, and many of the sentences were not fluent. She had no idea what the child wanted to express.”
"Can the diary still be found?"
"It should be very confusing. I'll call and ask again and talk back."
The welfare home staff hung up the phone. Chen Ge stood at the door of the hut, looking at the hut that was completely different from what he remembered: "No one can remember his name and appearance. Why is this happening?"
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about him, but Fang Yu, who had the worst memory, kept remembering him and looking for him.
Entering the house, the smell became even stronger.
The first floor of the hut was for children to play. Chen Ge didn't find anything here. He walked towards the second floor accompanied by Xu Yin.
As soon as he reached the wooden staircase, Chen Ge covered his mouth and nose. The special and strong smell came from the second floor.
"Let's go up and have a look."
The wooden stairs have been built for many years, and they make a creaking sound when you step on them, as if they will collapse at any time.
As he continued to walk upstairs, Chen Ge discovered that writing gradually began to appear on the wooden steps, as if they were dug bit by bit with bloody nails.
"Fangyu?"
The handwriting on the steps became denser and denser. When Chen Ge came to the second floor, his eyes widened and he was stunned.
The floor, walls, ceiling, and every space on the second floor of the hut are densely engraved with the word "Fang Yu".
At this moment, not far from Chen Ge, there was a man lying on the ground, tapping the ground little by little with his bloody fingers.
He concentrated on it and knelt on the ground with a shrine pressed on his back.
The shape of the shrine is the same as the one in the Virtual Future Park, except that the clay head in the shrine has not fallen off, and Chen Ge's name is not written on it. Instead, the word "Fang Yu" is written on it.
