Chapter 404 Ordinary is the greatest wish


    The dim light is not dazzling, and falls softly on the old furniture, making the whole home look very warm.


    ?The house is not big, and at first glance it looks very lifelike, but if you look closely, you can find many strange places.


    Luo Dong froze at the door. He looked past the man who opened the door and looked into the house.


    ?All the walls here are equipped with sound insulation layers and are covered with sound-absorbing paint. As long as there is no violent scuffle in the house, the neighbors will not know what is going on in the house.


    ? There is an extra large air-cooled refrigerator in the living room. This type of refrigerator relies on a fan to blow air into the refrigerator for cooling. The stored meat is not easy to stink and does not have odor.


    There are a large number of fresh-keeping bags scattered on the kitchen floor, which can just hold fist-sized pieces of meat and are easy to carry. Under the counter is a heat-generating agent, which when mixed with water can speed up the rotting of meat.


    Having everything for transporting and destroying the meat, Luo Dong looked at the bathroom again. The floor tiles there were covered with a plastic anti-seepage film that had not been put away in time, and there was still some fat-like dirt on it.


    "There is also a place for processing meat..." Luo Dong''s heart was pounding. The overall decoration style of the room was very warm, but he felt cold all over.


    "Have you seen enough?" the middle-aged man in a raincoat suddenly said. The brim of the raincoat covered half of his face, making it impossible for Luo Dong to see the other person''s expression.


    "I..." Luo Dong didn''t know what excuse to make. He had witnessed Gao Ming entering here one after another. From this point of view, Gao Ming''s disappearance must be related to the man in front of him.


    "This is not the place you should be here, leave quickly." The middle-aged man did not hurt Luo Dong. When he was about to close the door, he did not forget to remind Luo Dong: "Be careful when you go downstairs. If you hear footsteps, you must be there." You have to evade in advance to avoid being seen by a male student wearing a school uniform.”


    Lowering his voice, the middle-aged man squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "He is not a human being."


    "Wait!" Luo Dong hurriedly grabbed the door panel with his hands before closing the door.


    Maybe he is also the father of the child, or maybe the memory of the previous fusion resonated with Luo Dong. He did not choose to leave. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to communicate with the man in front of him in the most candid way.


    "I know Gao Ming. He is the savior of my family. In my impression, he is definitely not a bad person. Even if he becomes a ghost, I don''t think he will become an evil ghost!" Luo Dong covered his heart. The call was in this room, and the room in front of him was very important to him: "Is there any misunderstanding between you two? What exactly happened here?"


    The middle-aged man did not expect Luo Dong to blurt out Gao Ming''s name, nor did he expect that the other party would insist on speaking for Gao Ming under such circumstances. His words, even if Gao Ming turned into a ghost, would not be an evil one, touched him. Something deep inside a man.


    Taking off the raincoat and hat, the man''s face was revealed. He looked mature and haggard, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "I am Gao Ming''s father. I know what you said is correct, but those things in the corridor Things are not really high-end.”


    "Isn''t it really a good life?" Although Luo Dong had made some guesses before, he was still surprised when he heard the definite answer. "Gao Ming is lucky to have a friend like you. Come in." After the man made sure there was no one outside, he invited Luo Dong into the house: "We have been trapped here for a long time. Apart from Gao Ming, you are The first person we met."


    Pouring a glass of cold water and placing it in front of Luo Dong, the middle-aged man locked the door: "What time is it now? How many days after the Ghost Festival?"


    “How many weeks has it been? You’re not stuck here forever, are you?”


    Facing Luo Dong’s doubts, the middle-aged man said nothing. He sat on the other side of the sofa and lit a cigarette.


    "Can you tell me about Gao Ming? Who imprisoned you here?" Luo Dong asked cautiously. He was sitting on the sofa. He was curious and scared now. The heart in the key chest was still there. It was beating wildly, as if urging him to do something.


    "Gao Ming''s mother and I originally had high hopes for Gao Ming and enrolled him in many specialty classes, but we found that this child''s only specialty is that he has no special skills." When the middle-aged man mentioned these "troubles", he not only showed no anger, but also softened his expression. It seemed that those days were the happiest: "Both of us were very anxious until he entered high school and their class had a group outing..."


    “What happened?”


    "Nothing happened, but Gao Ming''s whole person has changed since then. He seems to have something very painful hidden in his heart. It feels like...a part of his soul is lost somewhere, day and night. Suffering torture. From that day on, his diary frequently mentioned a non-existent student - Gao Yun. "The man sighed: "As parents, we really want to help him share the burden, but we have tried various methods to no avail. , we gradually no longer expect him to be rich and powerful in the future, we just hope that he can become the same as before, and the family can live a good life. "


    “You will appreciate something after losing it. What I regret most now is that I didn’t treat my family well.” Luo Dong empathized with the middle-aged man’s words.


    "Gao Ming became increasingly silent. Maybe he didn''t know that the child often had nightmares, struggling, biting, and crying the name Gao Yun with a ferocious face, but during the day he was just like a normal person. He didn''t want to mention it. , we won’t ask deliberately.” The middle-aged man’s voice was low, with a hint of exhaustion: “We encourage him to learn psychological counseling, but we don’t want him to become a doctor, we just want him to heal himself.”


    Luo Dong did not expect that Gao Ming had such a past. For Gao Ming, it was an ordinary and peaceful daily school life. In fact, every day contained the hard work of his parents. The couple were afraid that Gao Ming would notice. At the same time, I carefully gave him all my love.


    “Isn’t that Gao Yun a student in their class?” Luo Dong felt that the name sounded familiar to him. He seemed to have heard Gao Ming mention it before.


    "There was no such student in their class. Later, we finally waited until he graduated from college. All the above symptoms disappeared. We thought that the child could start a new life, but who knew that all kinds of...unbelievable things started happening around him." The sound of chopping meat in the kitchen continued, and the middle-aged man slowly lowered his head. He stared at the falling cigarette ashes: "This year, Gao Ming worked overtime during the Ghost Festival and would come home very late. His mother and I were worried about him, so we gave him Made several calls."


    “No one answered?”


    ??The middle-aged man shook his head: "Every call was answered, but everyone who answered the phone was not lucky, so his mother and I came to his rented place overnight to look for him..."
