Chapter 1076 The smelliest room (4000)
"Female underwear?" Wen Qing did not notice the details. She felt a little scared after hearing Chen Ge's reminder: "He is a pervert who steals underwear?"
"Wu You should have seen his secret too, so he ran out to dissuade him after knowing that we were in contact with Wu You." Chen Ge and Wen Qing stood in the corridor, their voices were low, and only the other party could hear: "What worries me the most is not the man stealing underwear, but the words he said. Wu You opened the door and waited for his parents to come home, which meant that he thought his family was just going out, but the middle-aged man said that Wu You's parents were killed by Wu You."
"What do you mean is the middle-aged man who killed Wu You's parents?" Wen Qing followed Chen Ge, and her way of thinking gradually became very similar to Chen Ge.
"I guess it was a lot of people who acted together. No one was the direct murderer, but everyone was related to the death of Wu You's parents." After seeing three tenants, Chen Ge found that the building had his own rules. The tenants had already agreed that if anyone wanted to break the rules, they would be targeted by everyone: "When a person witnessed the murder, he did not cooperate with the police investigation and maliciously concealed it, he was an accomplice."
"According to you, I feel that Wu You is so pitiful. How about we take Xiang Nuan away after we find him?" Wen Qing is a very kind woman, but kindness is the most useless thing for the indigenous people behind the door. If you want to survive in this place for a long time, the first thing you have to discard is the kindness in human nature.
"Let's find Xiang Nuan first."
Following the stairs to the second floor, Chen Ge and Wen Qing both stopped.
An old lady stood on the gloomy second-floor corridor. She was holding a stained porcelain bowl in her hand, with some coins and some leftover food in it.
The old man was standing outside a door and was turning the door handle hard, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open the door.
When Chen Ge passed by, the old lady saw him, turned around and walked towards him.
The stained hand swayed in front of Chen Ge. She held the bowl and made a giggle sound in her mouth, which made people feel scary.
"Grandma Li?" Wen Qing recognized the old man in front of her. She was very surprised when she saw the old lady.
"Do you know her? from your community?"
"It used to be, but later his son said she was lost and hadn't seen her for several years." Wen Qing's eyes were full of surprise: "The old lady lives very delicately, her hair is neatly combed, and there is not even a trace of wrinkles on her clothes. She often takes care of the flowers and plants alone in the garden."
"Can her son abandon her if he doesn't want to take care of her?"
"That's a fucking thing, not an item, how can you throw it away just by saying it?"
"Don't overestimate human nature. I read the news that day and saw a man burying his paralyzed mother alive, and he didn't dare to write that in it."
Chen Ge and Wen Qing stood there, and the old lady seemed to be feeling strongly stimulated. She was crazy and had no way to communicate, but she just kept putting the bowl in front of Chen Ge.
"Are you hungry?" Chen Ge did not dislike the old man's stained coat, and walked to the old man and said, "Do I send you home?"
Through Wen Qing's brief description, Chen Ge felt that this crazy old lady was a "good person" and was a partner that could be fought for.
The old lady seemed unable to speak the complete sentence, and she was anxious to put the bowl in front of Chen Ge, and a strange sound made in her throat.
Chen Ge took out a piece of change from his pocket and put it into the old man's bowl, but the old man still stubbornly held the bowl and kept placing something with his hands. What she wanted was not money, but something else.
The old man made a big noise. After more than ten seconds of stalemate, the door of Room 206, near the stairs on the second floor was opened.
"It's you again." The person who opened the door was a young man wearing headphones and a pale face. He seemed to have not seen the sunshine for a long time: "Just kicking you out, why are you back?"
He looked at the dirty old man in disgust, walked out of the house, and pulled Chen Ge and the old man away: "Don't be entangled by this old guy, otherwise she would always follow you, just like a life-threatening ghost, which would make people dislike him."
The young man in Room 206 is the most normal person Chen Ge has seen behind the door so far. He is the same as ordinary people outside the door, regardless of his tone of speech or physical appearance.
"Xiao Sun?" Wen Qing recognized the young man, but the young man did not recognize her.
"Who are you? Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing, please be quiet, I'm recording songs inside." The young man closed the door after he said that.
"That young man is the old lady's family?" Chen Ge asked softly.
"No, Grandma Li lives in 205. Her son looks very fierce and doesn't look like Grandma Li at all."
"Who is Xiao Sun? He gives me a different feeling than other tenants." Chen Ge looked at Room 206. As the number of tenants he contacted gradually increased, he became more and more confused. This is the world behind Xiang Nuan. What kind of relationship does these people have with Xiang Nuan?
"Xiao Sun is a college student and likes to sing. He rented it in Jinhua Community for a period of time. At that time, he paid half a year's rent in one lump sum, but he left after living in the second month. He didn't ask for a deposit, and many things in the house were not cleaned up. The landlord complained to me for a long time."
"How do you think of Xiao Sun?"
"He rarely leaves the room, does not go to classes, does not like to talk much, and occasionally goes to the supermarket to buy a lot of daily necessities and food. In my impression, he is just a very ordinary otaku."
"A very ordinary otakus, he disappeared bizarrely after living in your community for two months." Chen Ge used his vagina to scan the interior of Room 206 when the door opened just now. He found that there were several cracks on the walls of Room 206, and the wall skin fell off seriously. The interior decoration of Room 206 was extremely poor.
"Why did it disappear strangely? Maybe he just had an urgent matter and didn't have time to notify the landlord. By the way, I heard from the landlord that the room Xiao Sun rented was very messy, with garbage piled up in mountains and furniture damaged. Maybe he was worried about paying the landlord money, so he ran away secretly."
"A sheep lives with a pack of wolves, what do you think of that sheep?"
"What do you want to say?"
"If he doesn't become a wolf, he will be eaten by the wolf. When everyone is accomplice and you don't want to be an accomplice, you can only be a victim."
Grandma Li also heard what Chen Ge said. Interestingly, Grandma Li, who was originally excited, gradually became smaller in movements, and she seemed to understand Chen Ge's words.
Grandma Li's reaction was as Chen Ge expected. He had just discussed Xiao Sun in front of Grandma Li, just to test the other party.
It is very difficult to survive in the world behind the door. Every "person" must have his own reason not to be killed.
Wu You is a liar, Grandma Li is crazy, Xiao Sun looks the most normal, and his next situation is the most dangerous. Of course, if he has "compromised", it will be another matter.
The hand holding the porcelain bowl was trembling, Grandma Li couldn't speak. She stopped those strange actions and just followed Chen Ge and was unwilling to leave.
All this is just like what Xiao Sun said just now. Grandma Li is like a "death-taking ghost" and she is unwilling to leave.
"Xiao Sun should have experienced such a thing. If I guess correctly, Grandma Li is actually reminding him, or wanting to ask Xiao Sun for help in this way."
Chen Ge was very curious about why Grandma Li couldn't speak. According to Wen Qing's memory, the old lady's voice should be without any problems.
"Can't you say it? Or can't you dare?"
Without continuing to stay on the second floor, Chen Ge, Wen Qing and Grandma Li who followed them to the first floor.
"Uncle Huang lives in Room 104. There are only three rooms on the first floor, and the other three rooms have been converted into utility rooms and warehouses." Wen Qing also felt that Uncle Huang could trust, so she was even more anxious than Chen Ge, so she ran to the door 104 and knocked on the door.
When Wen Qing knocked on the door, Chen Ge looked at the corridor on the first floor.
Unlike Ying Tong's world behind the door, the internal space of this building is not infinitely circulating. The entrance to the corridor is right in front of you, but there is an iron door full of rust at the exit, and the door is locked. If you want to go out, you must have a key.
"The door that went out was locked. If Xiang Nuan didn't have a key, he should still be in this building, but what if the key is in Xiang Nuan's hand?"
It was a while since Chen Ge entered the door, but he still had no idea. He could not see Xiang Nuan's despair. All he saw was the despair of others. Xiang Nuan himself was more like a bystander.
"The corridor on the first floor has the most blood stains. The black blood spots penetrated into the floor tiles, and blood-like patterns appeared in the walls. This layer is likely to be more dangerous than the above layers."
While Chen Ge was thinking, the door of Room 104 was opened, and then Chen Ge heard Wen Qing's exclamation.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ge looked back and was also shocked.
The iron door in room 104 was opened, and an old man with a hunched back stood behind the door. He was very short and seemed to be pressing something on his back.
If it were just like this, Chen Ge wouldn't even frown his eyebrows. The most terrifying thing was the old man's face.
The wrinkled face was covered with bite marks from the teeth, and all the bite marks were different in depth and the tooth marks were not exactly the same. It seemed that they were bitten by different people.
"Uncle Huang?" Chen Ge asked uncertainly, forcing himself to behave normally.
"My surname is Huang. Are you asking me for trouble?" The old man walked out of the room with a hunched back, and an indescribable stench emanated from his room.
"Uncle Huang, I am Wen Qing..." Wen Qing frowned and said with a hard forehead.
"Wen Qing?"
"Don't you remember me? I often deliver food to you. Once you were sick, I took you to the hospital and took care of you every day." Wen Qing had never told Chen Ge about these things that Wen Qing said before.
"Sorry, I'm old and I really can't remember some things. Are you also a resident here?" The old man looked confused. His body seemed very weak, and he would cough every time he said a few words.
"Of course, I live in..."
"Uncle Huang, we want to inquire about something with you." Chen Ge decisively stopped Wen Qing and did not let Wen Qing continue.
In fact, he had already discovered something was wrong. Everyone in the world behind the door did not seem to know Wen Qing. This person who was the most important to Xiang Nuan was blank in the world behind the door.
The flyers on the wall that insulted Wen Qing did not have Wen Qing's face, but turned into headless photos.
Just now, Xiao Sun had no impression of Wen Qing, and now Mr. Huang has no memory of Wen Qing at all. This is definitely not a coincidence.
The door was pushed open by Xiang Nuan. Chen Ge felt that Xiang Nuan was just like she was protecting Wen Qing specifically. He didn't want Wen Qing to have any connection with the world behind the door.
Even if you fall into the abyss, Wen Qing is still the Wen Qing in the world.
"The idea is good, but he probably didn't expect that Wen Qing would follow him into the world behind the door." Chen Ge didn't say this, he just thought about it in his heart. The focus now is to figure out whether Mr. Huang is an enemy or a friend.
"What do you want to ask?" The old man was in poor condition. He held the door with his hands and his back was even more hunched.
"Uncle, has anyone ever gone out of the entrance door of the corridor?"
"It shouldn't be. It's been a mess outside recently. The landlord added a lock to the door, and the key is with the landlord. If you want to go out, you must find the landlord." Mr. Huang revealed a lot of information in just one sentence.
The outside is quite chaotic, which means they know a little about the situation of several other buildings. This community is a whole and there are also connections between them.
The lock was added by the landlord. If Chen Ge and the others want to go out, they must first find the key from the landlord.
Finally, Chen Ge also understood one thing from the old man's words. At least in this building, the landlord was a very critical person. He completely ignored this person before.
Before entering this door, because time was too tight, he didn't have time to contact the landlord. Now he could only rely on Wen Qing's understanding of the landlord to figure out the landlord's situation.
"Is there anything else? If not, I will go back. I am old and my legs hurt after standing for a while." Uncle Huang was about to close the door after he said that, but he was only halfway through, and Chen Ge caught the security door.
"Uncle, can we sit in your room?"
Uncle Huang's house has a very strong smell, and it is the most odor in all rooms. Chen Ge feels that there must be some secrets hidden in this room, so even if Uncle Huang disagrees, he will try his best to go in and check it out.
"It's up to you."
Uncle Huang did not refuse Chen Ge's unreasonable request. He seemed to be really tired. After saying this, he sat back on the wall and sat back on the sofa in the house.
Seeing the sofa, Wen Qing felt numb again, and the backrest of the sofa was covered with tiny things that looked like blood vessels.
Uncle Huang curled up on the sofa, and the expression on his face finally relaxed.
Wen Qing wanted to remind Chen Ge, but Chen Ge had already walked in. He seemed to be unable to see those terrible and weird things at all, as if he had returned to his own home, and sat casually opposite Mr. Huang.
