The familiar cigarette brought back Chen Ge's memories. He was not a sentimental person, but at this moment he still stopped.
"Leave me alone and run to such a dangerous place. How many things are you hiding from me?"
After lightly knocking on the door, there was no response. Chen Ge whispered: "Is anyone here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice came from the door.
"Boss Chen?!"
The iron chain on the back of the door slid and the snap spring popped open. After a long time, this seemingly ordinary door was opened.
Fan Cong, who was wearing pajamas, stood behind the door with tears on his face. When the fat boy, who weighed more than 200 pounds, saw Chen Ge, he rushed over and wanted to give Chen Ge a bear hug.
"Please be more restrained." Chen Ge took a step back. He could see that Fan Cong was very excited.
"I knew you would come over! Boss Chen, I almost never saw you again!" Fan Cong said with a hint of crying. He had many things he wanted to tell Chen Ge, but he didn't know.
Where to start? He walked around the house, his belly full of fat trembling slightly with his body.
"Calm down first. Is your mobile phone with you? We talked on the phone a few hours ago. Let me see your call history." Chen Ge was testing Fan Cong. When Fan Cong disappeared, his mobile phone was left in the room. Later,
Fan Dade also briefly communicated with Chen Ge through Fan Cong’s mobile phone.
"I'm not here. I was in such a hurry when I ran away that I dropped it in the room." Fan Cong pointed to his extra-large pajamas, which had no pockets.
Chen Ge nodded and looked into the room. It was a very ordinary rental house with a bed, table, and electric fan. There was nothing special about it.
"Why are you hiding here? 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.
"When I say it, I actually can't believe it myself." Fan Cong moved his fat body and walked to the window.
"On the second underground floor, what's the use of repairing a window? Are you lying to yourself?" Chen Ge grasped the skull-crushing hammer and blocked the door of the room.
"She brought me here." Fan Cong opened the thick curtains, and someone used cheap watercolors to draw a picture on the cement wall behind. There are mountains, water, bright sunshine, and flowers that will never fade.
Flowers and family members with smiles on their faces.
Chen Ge's eyes moved along with the curtains, and finally settled on the side of the window frame, where a little girl was sitting.
She was dressed in red and stared blankly at the paintings on the cement wall.
"Xiao Bu?" Chen Ge had seen this girl more than once, but every time the girl gave her a different feeling, there was warning, there was coldness, and this time she felt helpless.
"She was the one who took me away when we were on the phone." Fan Cong's eyelids twitched, and he seemed to be a little scared when he remembered the scene at that time: "The person who came back that night was not my brother, but another person. I really didn't dare
Imagine that I didn't notice it at all and stayed in the same house with him for so long."
"Your brother was replaced by a shadow?" What Fan Cong said is consistent with Chen Ge's previous speculation: "Is this what Xiaobu told you?"
"Well, my brother didn't come back at all that night, and I'm a little worried about him now." Fan Cong sat on the bed, and the old bed board made a creaking sound, as if it would be crushed at any time.
Compared with his body size, the bed board looks even smaller.
"These beds are prepared for children." Fan Cong explained and glanced at Xiaobu secretly. He was also worried that he would collapse the bed.
"For children?" Chen Ge keenly captured the key words in Fan Cong's words: "You told me on the phone that after clearing the game, Xiaobu entered this building. Is this building special?
Its internal structure looks no different from other buildings in Liwan Town."
"I also heard from Xiaobu that there was an epidemic in Liwan Town many years ago, and this building was the only one that was avoided by people with the disease."
"The only one being avoided? What do you mean?" Chen Ge didn't quite understand.
"It's a long story. If you complete Xiao Bu's game, you will understand everything. That game is set in Liwan Town and truly restores the Liwan Town at that time." Fan Cong has conquered all the branches and he knows all the games.
Plot: "Human nature is very complex. It can sacrifice itself like the blazing sun to bring warmth to the weak, or it can be as dark and gloomy as the abyss, with no lower limit."
"The source of the infectious disease outbreak was Liwan Hospital. The hospital was helpless against the disease. Those few patients knew that they would not survive. Some of them began to deliberately retaliate by secretly putting their own blood and other things on fruits and medical equipment, and the infection quickly spread.
The disease spreads."
"First it was other patients, then doctors, and finally it spread to half of Liwan Town."
"Diseases are raging and people are panicked. Many people with symptoms seem to be crazy. Although they do not directly kill people, innocent people die because of them. In fact, there is not much difference between them and those murderers."
"The whole Liwan Town was in chaos at that time, but this building was different."
"The building was built as an orphanage before. The developers thought that the eastern suburbs would develop very fast in the future. They bought the land and built a new building. They promised well at that time that they would build new homes for all the orphans and staff and keep the orphanage.
After it was actually built, I found out that they would use the first and second underground floors to house orphans."
"After the outbreak of the disease, all the staff of the orphanage strictly prohibited the children from coming out, and then they guarded the entrance to the underground. They had made a decision not to let anyone in, including themselves."
"After a day and a night, people came from above. No one knew the specific solution, and I couldn't find any information on the Internet. The game only said that all the orphans had been rescued and no one was infected."
When Fan Cong said this, his voice changed slightly: "To be honest, I admire the staff at the orphanage very much. They can be said to be the only good things in Liwan Town."

"No wonder there are humanoid stains in all the buildings, but not in this building." Chen Ge figured out the first question, but then more questions popped up: "But why did Xiao Bu enter this building in the game at the end?"
?Meaning that she is dedicated to good deeds?"
Those who can open the door are trapped in despair, and self-salvation is extremely difficult for them.
"You should have noticed those posters in the basement corridor, right? There was a branch line in the game where a young couple entered Liwan Town. They found Xiao Bu and arranged the building as Xiao Bu's shelter."
Fan Cong tried his best to recall the last few moments of the game: "They wanted to help Xiao Bu, but they asked Xiao Bu to agree to a condition."
"Conditions?" Chen Ge knew that the young couple Fan Cong was talking about were his parents. They smoked familiar cigarettes and carried haunted house posters with them. They wished that the whole world could come to the haunted house to play. Only his own family could do this.
"Yes." Fan Cong looked back at Xiao Bu. Seeing that Xiao Bu had no reaction, he continued: "They hope that Xiao Bu can become the shadow of their child."
"Please tell me in detail." Chen Ge narrowed his eyes.
"You have seen the dialogue in the game. It is difficult to interpret. It probably means that their child's shadow has been lost, so they hope that Xiaobu can become the new shadow of his child. I know this is incredible, but that's how it is written in the game.
In the game, Xiaobu didn't agree immediately, so they built a shelter in Liwan Town, saying that if Xiaobu thought about it carefully, they would enter the shelter and wait for them, and then they would help Xiaobu get rid of the shadow." Fan Cong said.
He didn't know how much impact what he said had on Chen Ge.
"It's a shame they thought of it." Now that Xiaobu has entered the shelter, it means that he has agreed to be Chen Ge's shadow, but his parents not only failed to get rid of the shadow as agreed, but instead killed himself.
He disappeared, which made Chen Ge a little confused about how to face Xiaobu: "I don't think so much anymore. As long as the shadow can be killed, no matter who did it, the agreement will be fulfilled."
Entering the room, Chen Ge walked to the window. Xiaobu looked only seven or eight years old. The blood-red red clothes were in sharp contrast with her pale face. Just by getting closer, Xu Yin issued a strong warning.
"She looks very strong." This was the first time Chen Ge saw an out-of-control door. He didn't know what impact the door would have on the person pushing the door. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed that after the door was out of control, the person pushing the door would
People will also become more terrifying.
"It was my parents who made an agreement with you before, and I am the one they said has lost his shadow."
Hearing Chen Ge's words, the girl who had been in a daze twitched her eyelashes slightly. She turned around slowly, and a sense of oppression that nearly suffocated Chen Ge came from in front of her.
"this……"
The red dress floated up, Xiaobu had no hands or legs, and her heart was empty.
"This child is just like that door! The part where the door was removed corresponds to her body except that the head is replaced with a heart."
Looking at each other silently, no one would take the initiative to give up their freedom. Chen Ge finally understood why Xiao Bu escaped into the shelter.
Despite the pressure and Xu Yin's warning, Chen Ge took another step forward. There was a trace of distress in his eyes: "I'm not here for some promise. You have suffered too many injuries. I can't understand you even a thousand times."
You are experiencing pain, so I will not comfort you from the perspective of a bystander. I understand that those comforts are in vain."
"Pay with blood, I will help you kill the shadow, and then you will no longer be alone." Chen Ge stopped in front of Xiaobu, slowly squatted down, and looked straight at the numb face: "The scenery in this window is
It’s a painting. After the shadow is resolved, I will take you outside the door to all the places you want to go and see all the scenery you want to see.”
Chen Ge no longer mentioned any promises, and he would not let Xiao Bu be his shadow.
Perhaps realizing that Chen Ge was not lying, Xiaobu blinked. Blood seeped out of the window frame, and the blood droplets gathered into a few words - People without shadows cannot live long. Are you sure you won't let me do this?
