My House of Horrors

"I always felt there was another person in my room, whose eyes were hidden in the cracks between the closet and the bed panel."

The girl was young and innocent-looking, and she seemed to like white very much: her coat, pants, shoes, and even her handbag were all pure white.

"Have you talked to your parents?" Across from the girl sat an eighteen or nine-year-old boy, who was handsome and sunny, giving her a very clean look.

"They're out of town, and they won't be back for another week." The girl held up her drink in her hand, looking at the impurities that had settled at the bottom of the glass, "Last night when I came home, the voice-activated light in the hallway was out, and I faintly heard a footstep behind me, following me in the dark."

"Someone was following you? The western suburbs have been really unsettled lately, so let me take you home today, okay? I'm a little worried about you going back alone." The boy's voice was very gentle.

The girl hesitated for a long time, she looked at the boy's almost perfect face, suddenly seemed to think of something terrible, and got up in a panic: "No, I'd better go back by myself."

As the sun slowly set outside the window, the girl and the boy parted in front of the restaurant and walked down the street alone.

"Could it be him?"

Thinking things through, the girl almost ran into a billboard on the side of the road, she looked up and found the notice posted on the billboard - Recently a number of young women have gone missing in our city, please pay attention to the general public! Please contact your local police station immediately if you find anything!

The missing persons were all women, between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, with detailed descriptions of what they were wearing at the time of their disappearance, such as plain white shoes and black dresses.

Looking at the pictures, the girl felt an inexplicable chill at the back of her neck, and she looked back sharply.

There were people coming and going on the street, but she didn't see any strange people.

"Why do I always feel like there's a gaze on me?"

The girl quickened her pace and hurried home.

As night fell unnoticed and the streetlights flickered on and off, the girl could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps behind her, the other party getting closer and closer to her.

She didn't dare to look back, held her bag tightly in her hands, and ran into the neighborhood in one breath, rushing into the corridor.

The sound of footsteps behind her did not disappear, but followed her into the corridor, the other party no longer disguised, faster and faster!

The voice-activated lights seemed to have been broken beforehand, and no matter how much noise they made, the hallway was still dark.

The girl ran around in the darkness, the normally familiar corridor now seemed like an endless maze.

"Suzuran!"

A familiar, gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her, and the girl gradually slowed down.

It was the boy's voice, and she remembered very clearly that she was also unable to help herself and fell in love with the other because of that charming voice.

"Suzuran, don't be afraid, I'm just worried about you, that's why I wanted to escort you back." A figure in the darkness slowly approached and gently grabbed the girl's hand.

"You've been following me?" The girl's voice changed and she looked at the familiar figure in the darkness and shook off the other girl's hand with force.

"Suzuran, listen to me, my heart hurts for no reason for the past few nights, a voice is warning me ......" the boy tried to say something else, but the girl ran straight up the stairs.

"Don't follow me anymore!" The door was slammed shut and the girl entered one of the rooms on the top floor. Shortly after she entered, loud music was playing in the room, as if someone had turned up the volume of the TV to maximum.

"Suzuran, you are mistaken, I ......" The boy knocked on the door, but no one answered.

After a few minutes, just as the boy was about to leave, the door, which had been closed, suddenly opened.

The girl's face appeared in the crack of the door, her dark eyes glowing with color the moment she saw the boy.

"Suzuran, I was really just worried about you." Seeing the girl finally open the door, the guy hurried forward to explain, but when he just said the word "Suzuran," the girl's face turned very pale.

The color in her eyes slowly faded and she stared directly at the boy, "What do you want with my sister?"

"Sister?" The boy stopped at the door.

"My name is Youngsoo, I'm Suzuran's sister." Youngsoo's rickety back slowly straightened, and the boy then saw that the other girl was wearing a black dress.

"Can I call your sister? I have something I want to talk to her about."

"She's in the shower, so she can't come out right now." Youngsoo kept staring at the boys, and that gaze was a little scary.

The sound of water flowing could still be heard over the loud music, and the boy pursed his lips, "I won't bother you then, can you please pass on a message that I'll be waiting for her at the West Street restaurant tomorrow morning."

"Got it." Ying Su replied indifferently, and closed the door.

The hallway became dark again, and the boy stood alone in front of Suzuran's house, looking at the bag in his hand, which contained a gift he had prepared.

"Why is it that the closer you get to this place, the more your heart hurts?"

As his mind flashed back to the moments between himself and Suzuran, the boy grabbed the stair railing and slowly walked down the stairs.

Suzuran was a year older than the boy, and she had a special attraction that seemed to represent all the unknowns of the world.

The boy's love for Suzuran was pure, passionate, and unadulterated.

It was the first person he fell in love with, and Suzuran was the first person who told him what love was.

That feeling was like a flame that lit up everything and ignited the soul.

It was righteous and left no room for turning back.

As the night wore on, the boy went home, humming a song he had composed, and lay down on his bed.

Sleepiness came like a tidal wave, and the boy was about to fall asleep when he heard a faint voice.

"They are the murderers, don't drink that drink, don't ever drink that drink ......"

The next morning, the boys arrived early at the West Street restaurant with their unsolicited gifts and picked up a window seat.

The girl in the white coat did not appear until noon; she looked tired, seldom spoke, and was quieter than usual.

After the meal, the boy offered to go to a movie, but the girl did not refuse.

They did everything they wanted to do, as they usually did.

The girl also had a smile on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, and she felt much better.

This time the boy didn't say he would take the girl home, but the girl grabbed the boy's hand as he was about to leave.

"I felt that look again last night, and he was hiding in my room, as if he was trying to kill me." The girl looked up, "Will you check the house with me?"

Feeling the coldness in his palm, the boy tightened his grip on the girl's hand, "Good."

Across the street, the two men snuggled into each other's arms and entered the dilapidated neighborhood.

The dark hole in the building was like the mouth of a monster that opened and swallowed the two.

The door closed, and the boy stood in the girl's house, looking a little reserved.

"There are drinks on the coffee table, you sit on the sofa and rest for a while, I'll go change into some clothes, these clothes are too uncomfortable to wear." The girl entered the bedroom, and the boy sat carefully on the couch, his body tense and straight.

It was the first time he went to a girl's house, and her shy look was very cute.

The girl's house was very ordinary, nothing special about it.

The moment the cup touched his lips, the words he had heard last night suddenly came to his mind.

Don't drink that drink!

The voice appeared in a half-dream and half-awake state, familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, just a few words, but seemingly possessing color and shape, as if representing a specific memory.

Slowly putting down his drink, the boy looked at the wall and accidentally found a picture frame.

In the wooden frame was a picture of a family of four, with two almost identical-looking girls standing between the couple, one in a white T-shirt and the other in a black dress.

"What are you looking at?" The girl in the pure white pajamas walked up to the boy at some point.

"Suzuran, don't you have a twin sister? When I came yesterday, she was the one who opened the door for me."

"Do you want to see her?" The girl's eyes swept over the drinks on the coffee table, the cups had been moved, but the drinks inside were not missing.

"I'm just a little surprised that she ......" The boy didn't say anything, but suddenly felt a piercing coldness in his heart.

He slowly looked down and saw that he had been stabbed in the chest with a sharp knife.

Warm blood slid across the white skin, staining the girl's pure white pajamas, and a hysterical expression gradually appeared on her delicate face: "I am Yingsuo, you love Suzuran so much, why can't you tell me from her?"

Before the words were out of her mouth, Suzuran, dressed in blood, walked out of the bedroom, her bare feet stepping on the boy's blood.

Sharp knives continued to pierce the boy's body, and it was definitely not the first time they had done so, each one avoiding the bone and piercing the boy's heart.

The gift box in their hands fell to the ground, and a tape landed in a pool of blood.

The boy's consciousness gradually became trance-like, and before the piercing pain hit him, he saw a man standing behind the two girls, desperately trying to stop them, but his arm passed through them again and again.

The man seemed out of this world, trying to stop the world, but unable to touch anything in it.

"I seem to remember his voice ......"

......

When he opened his eyes, Chen Ge smashed his fists on the hospital bed.

He seemed to be extremely weak, and his face looked very bad.

"Boss, you've tried a hundred times, give up. The reason why Xu Yin can become a ferocious god is that he has extreme love and extreme hatred, and no one can save him from the prison where these two emotions are intertwined." Sun, wearing a white lab coat, guarded next to Chen Ge.

"No, it was a mistake in the direction, I originally thought I could stop the tragedy by killing the two women or changing a part of my memory, but that's not the case, even if I hadn't drunk the drink, Xu Yin would still have been killed." Chen Ge stood up, "I'm going to try again."

Hearing Chen Ge's words, a bitter smile appeared on Little Sun's face, "Boss, I know you want to save Xu Yin by cursing the hospital's brain maze, but he is a ferocious god after all, and the brain maze created from his memories is like an independent world. He is too powerful, and the brain maze we created is completely different from the brain mazes of other fierce spirits."

Xiao Sun looked at Xu Yin who was lying in the deepest part of the cursed hospital, with countless names symbolizing the curse underneath him, a sleeping god.

"The memories of Xu Yin's past are imprinted in the deepest part of her obsession, and we can't touch them, let alone change them." Sun waved the doctors away: "Obsession is the foundation of the existence of a ferocious spirit. If you want to save Xu Yin, you have to change the obsession of a ferocious spirit, which has almost no chance of success."

"I've thought about it carefully, I can't touch anyone in Xu Yin's brain maze, but I can touch myself." Chen Ge sat back down on the hospital bed, "Cut the crap, get all the doctors over here and let's try again."

"Boss, why don't you take a break, you've been in the Fierce Spirit's brain maze more than a hundred times in a row, if you keep this up, your consciousness will collapse, and if your consciousness collapses you won't be able to come back."

"It's fine."

A thread of blood enters Chen Ge's body, connecting him to the sleeping Xu Yin.

With the cooperation of all the doctors, Chen Ge was once again pulled into the maze of Xu Yin's brain.

......

Rubbing his dizzy head, Chen Ge opened his eyes, he was standing in front of a certain hospital.

This is the place where Xu Yin and Suzuran first met, accompanying her mother, and met Suzuran who was dressing her wounds in the hospital.

Chen Ge had experienced the scene in front of him hundreds of times, and he knew every detail of it like the back of his hand.

Xu Yin's mother died in the night, and the wounds on Suzuran's body were inflicted by the victim during the murder.

Chen Ge doesn't know if Suzuran really loves Xu Yin, he only knows that Suzuran took advantage of Xu Yin's pain and quietly lived in his heart when he was most helpless.

In the labyrinth of Xu Yin's brain, Chen Ge can't change anything; he can't open the door, he can't hold anything in the world, and he can't hurt anyone in the world.

He was like the only ghost in the world, no one could see him, no one knew he existed, because he was not part of this memory that represented the past.

With time on his mind, Chen Ge waited for the moment he saw Xu Yin appear and immediately followed behind him.

After hundreds of attempts, Chen Ge had a deeper understanding of Xu Yin, this big boy was sunny and kind, his heart without a trace of impurities, clean like a lake on a plateau.

But it was such a person who met Suzuran.

For the first Xu Yin, Suzuran was perhaps the ray of light that shone into his life.

It was hard to imagine that this woman was actually a murderer with bloodstained hands, specializing in targeting handsome young women late at night.

Silently following Xu Yin's footsteps, Chen Ge watched Xu Yin and Suzuran's relationship slowly become closer.

This time he didn't just interfere; everything was developing according to Xu Yin's memories.

On the thirtieth day of Xu Yin and Suzuran's relationship, Ying Su appeared, and both sisters fell in love with Xu Yin at the same time.

To be precise, two crazy people with blood on their hands fell in love with the same person at the same time.

They quarreled, they hurt, and finally they decided to share Xu Yin in their own way.

That night, the sister Suzuran confessed her love to Xu Yin, and invited her to her house tomorrow.

Chen Ge was standing right beside her, and he saw with his own eyes how happy Xu Yin was, and it was probably the happiest day in his memory.

But on the other side, the two sisters were sharpening their knives and mixing drinks late at night.

By the next day, Xu Yin had changed into new clothes and walked out of the room with a song that she had recorded wholeheartedly.

The sun was shining that day, and Chen Ge silently followed the big boy, even after hundreds of times, he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

When he pushed the door open, Chen Ge walked in with him.

Chen Ge had seen what happened next many times, and he didn't get hysterical and try to stop the others, not even saying a word.

It wasn't until Xu Yin chose his sister Suzuran and slowly lifted the cup of specially prepared drink that Chen Ge took a deep breath.

"The brain maze is woven according to your memories, I can't go into your past, I can't change the things that have already hurt you. I've come here over and over again, but I just want to tell you that there are still people who are expecting you to smile."

Chen Ge couldn't touch anything in this world, so this time he lifted his hand and placed it on his chest, his fingertips clasping the gap between his ribs and stabbing a little towards his heart.

"Guarding is another of your obsessions, perhaps I can let you hear the voice of my heart in this way." Blood dripped down his fingertips, his fingers completely missing his chest, and a vein ran up on Chen Ge's face, but it was as if he couldn't feel the pain: "Don't drink that drink again, don't repeat this nightmare, the pain is over! You should get out of the past! Xu Yin! Can you hear my voice!"

As his bones broke, Chen Ge's face became worse and worse, his body became unreal, and his consciousness began to blur.

In the middle of the house, Xu Yin, who was serving drinks, suddenly stopped moving, bent down slowly and covered his heart.

"It hurts ......"

"What's wrong with you?" Suzuran and Yingsu came over.

Xu Yin's eyes slowly turned red, and he suddenly looked up at the center of the empty house.

The sharp pain in his heart made him unable to control his body, and he gripped the edge of the couch.

A scene of strange and familiar memories appeared, and as the pain in his heart grew, the voice in his ear became clearer.

"I said I would redeem each and every one of you, Xu Yin, come home with me."

That voice was incomparably gentle, and Xu Yin looked up almost subconsciously: "Who the hell are you!"

The world was blurred by the pain of removing her heart, and the moment Xu Yin raised her head, she saw what appeared to be a young man standing in the living room, stabbing his hand into his heart, covered in blood, but with a gentle smile on his face.

"I am Chen Ge."

The bloodstained body fell backwards, and at the same time, Xu Yin's world began to change.

......

Barely opening his eyes, Chen Ge didn't even have the strength to sit up from the hospital bed, his head felt like it was being torn apart, and there was constant excruciating pain.

"Miracle! Xu Yin's brain maze has changed! It's as if he's actively trying to break free from that prison woven by the ultimate love and hate!" Sun was visibly excited, and he looked at the shaking cursed hospital, not worrying at all that the place would collapse: "How did you do it, boss?!"

"It seems to be working." Chen Ge grabbed Sun's lab coat, "Send me into Xu Yin's brain maze right now, I know how to save him!"

"Now?" Sun shook his head decisively, "Absolutely not, your body is too weak and feels like it's at its limit."

"Try one last time!" Chen Ge's eyes were firm: "This opportunity must not be missed."

"Fighting so hard for a ghost, I really can't understand you." Sun asked all the doctors to gather at the bedside again, and they connected Chen Ge and Xu Yin with a single thread of blood.

Curses, fears, pains, and all kinds of negative emotions were contained in the threads of blood that connected the human and ghost bodies.

Suffering from pain that almost tore his body apart, Chen Ge once again appeared in the maze of Xu Yin's brain.

His body was illusory and deformed, as if it was about to dissipate.

"The will is indeed about to reach its limit." Chen Ge gritted his teeth as he estimated the time and was about to head into the hospital when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The streets were crowded with people and traffic, but no sound was emitted, and the entire city was frighteningly quiet.

"What's going on?" Chen Ge walked through the silent crowd and entered the hospital.

He walked from room to room and finally saw a helpless Xu Yin in the corner of the corridor.

Suzuran was standing next to Xu Yin and kept saying something, but Xu Yin didn't seem to hear her.

"Why is it different from what I remember?"

With confusion, Chen Ge walked up to Xu Yin and looked at the boy crouched in the corner, memories of which kept popping up in his mind.

With extreme hatred and extreme love at the same time, every time Xu Yin made a move, it was as if he wanted to destroy himself with it, he was really suffering too much, and Chen Ge never saw a smile on his face.

Chen Ge slowly squatted down in front of Xu Yin and said softly, "Xu Yin, I've come to take you home."

Chen Ge's voice was not loud, but the entire city was silent, and only Chen Ge's voice remained.

He slowly looked up, and the unresolved melancholy and pain in Xu Yin's eyes gradually dissipated, and the silent cage of the city began to disintegrate, as he tightly grasped Chen Ge's hand.

The world is so silent because I've been waiting for your voice.
