After closing your eyes, darkness enveloped everything, but this darkness did not represent despair and loneliness, but made people feel as if they were in a huge bubble that could accommodate all fantasies.
Memory and reality are intertwined like a dream. As we move forward step by step, the hard shell of the real world is opened.
Chen Ge now understands why all nightmare-level daily tasks require him to close his eyes to complete them.
What he wants to enter is another world, and what he wants to see is the obsession hidden behind the real world.
Counting the steps in his mind, Chen Ge quickly reached the second floor while holding on to the wall.
You can feel the dust on the wall with your fingertips, smell a faint musty smell with your nose, and hear your own footsteps echoing in your ears. At this moment, the insurmountable visual barrier is hidden, and the world becomes a little different.
"There is nothing unusual about the white tiger, which means that it is not in danger yet. There are lights on the first and fourth floors. The real trouble is on the fourth floor and above."
It is not too difficult for Chen Ge to go upstairs blindfolded. He can restore the scene in the corridor in his mind, and his body has become accustomed to the height of the stairs. What he needs to do now is to concentrate and not be disturbed by anything. Slowly
Go to the roof.
"I should be on the second floor now."
Moving his steps, Chen Ge was about to go to the third floor when he suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from a certain house in the corridor on the second floor.
"I drink every day! Have your family cared about the life and death of me and my child? From the time I was pregnant until now, you have ignored me and said nothing. I spent my own money for every check-up. And I'm really fed up with it."
Your mother’s face is so pale!”
"If you feel aggrieved, get out! If you hadn't gone out without locking the door, Dabao wouldn't have been lost!"
"You blame me, right? You have to leave in the middle of the night, and I am still pregnant with my second child. Has your heart been eaten by a dog?"
"Don't mess around, I'll say it again, you have to go to work that day!"
The soundproofing effect of the floor was actually not bad, but the couple had a heated argument and seemed to get into trouble later.
About ten seconds later, Chen Ge heard the door open and someone walked out of the house. Judging from the sound of footsteps, the person was wearing leather shoes and it should be that man.
The quarrel continued, with the man cursing and slamming the door.
There were footsteps in the corridor, and a strong smell of alcohol approached Chen Ge. The man suddenly stopped yelling after entering the stairs. He seemed to be startled by Chen Ge standing in the corridor.
The footsteps paused for a while, then walked downstairs, and disappeared after a while.
"How much did this guy drink?"
The surroundings were quiet again, but the smell of alcohol had not completely dissipated.
Chen Ge continued to go up, counting the steps silently. When he reached the third floor, he suddenly felt a little strange.
"How come you still smell like alcohol?"
"If the man has left, the smell of alcohol should have completely dissipated, unless he is following me!"
A picture emerged in Chen Ge's mind. He was blindfolded and walking in front, followed behind by a drunkard with a twisted mentality and a ferocious face.
"When people are under great pressure, they will indeed get pleasure from bullying the weak." Chen Ge did not turn around. If the other party was a bad person, it would be fine, but he was afraid of another situation.
"On the way here, I heard the driver say that there had been a fatality in this building some time ago, and the deceased happened to be drunk, so the person following me might not be a human being."
The nose can clearly smell the smell of alcohol, but the ears cannot hear any sound.
"I just walked to the third floor and I encountered a problem. I have to walk more than ten floors..."
Fear itself can be overcome, but what is difficult to overcome is the unknown. Chen Ge is now in a very tangled situation.
This nightmare daily mission is much more difficult than imagined. Now that he has just reached the third floor, he decisively gives up the mission and escapes should be no problem.
But the further you go, the risk of giving up on the mission will become greater and greater.
"The refresh rate of nightmare-level daily tasks is very low. If I give up this time, I don't know when I will encounter it again next time."
After staying on the third floor for a while, Chen Ge took another step and walked towards the fourth floor.
After getting close to the light, even with his eyes closed, Chen Ge could vaguely feel the changes in the light. He was sure that this was the fourth floor.
"A quarter of the way through, there are no problems for the time being."
Holding on to the wall, Chen Ge moved cautiously towards the fifth floor. In the process of lifting his legs, his shoes suddenly knocked over something.
The sound is clear and crisp, like a porcelain bowl.
He slowly squatted down and groped on the ground, and his fingertips touched apples, steamed white rice, and two wooden chopsticks.
The chopsticks seem to be inserted into the white rice, and you can feel it when you touch it. One end is sticky.
"Putting rice in the corridor? Has anything happened on this floor?"
Only the first and fourth floors of the entire building are equipped with lights, which can make people think too much.
Putting the bowls and chopsticks away again, Chen Ge moved his hands towards the bowls and chopsticks: "I'm really sorry, please forgive me. If you want to make up for it, you can come home with me when I leave. You can take whatever you like.
."
After finishing speaking, Chen Ge left the fourth floor and walked towards the fifth floor.
The last ray of light disappeared. Chen Ge turned his back to the light source on the fourth floor and slowly walked up step by step.
The fifth floor, the sixth floor, and it wasn't until he reached the seventh floor that the smell of alcohol around him disappeared.
"Leaved?"
"If the other person is a man who died a few days ago, and he follows him to the seventh floor and suddenly leaves, it means there may be something more terrifying than him on the seventh floor, and he doesn't dare to come up."
"There is also the possibility that there is something scary standing in front of me right now, and it is this new guy who scared the man away."
It feels very uncomfortable to know what is in front of you but not see it.
"The white cat has no warning, which means it's still acceptable."
Chen Ge bent down slightly and lowered his center of gravity to prevent himself from falling in an unexpected situation.
Slowing down, Chen Ge moved upward little by little, but when he raised his arm and then lowered it, he froze in place.
The touch from the fingertips is no longer a cold wall, but has a touch of elasticity, just like human skin.
After standing still for a few seconds, Chen Ge slowly slid his hand. Through the touch from his fingertips, he was sure that he touched a human face!
The Adam's apple rolled, and Chen Ge's body seemed to be frozen.
If another person had come here, he might have been frightened and screamed, but Chen Ge didn't. He still maintained an amazing calmness.
Using his fingers slightly, Chen Ge understood two things through touch.
Firstly, this is the face of a child; secondly, this face is as cold as a bone, as if it had just been taken out of the freezer. The other person must not be human.
"The nose is very straight, and I have an impression of this face."
Chen Ge remembered the missing person notice he saw on the wall when he first entered the corridor.
