Once he knew how to escape, Chen Ge calmed down.
"This door keeps getting closer to the boy. Whenever a Red-Clothed appears, it even makes a sound to warn him. No matter how you look at it, this door doesn't mean Jiang Ming any harm."
Chen Ge stroked his chin. "There's clearly something inside the door that wants to come out, but I didn't find it when I entered the World Behind the Door. Is it hiding?"
Whatever was inside the door didn't want to hurt Jiang Ming, so it couldn't be one of the monsters filled with malice.
"Maybe Jiang Ming's lost hearing is here."
Chen Ge still remembered the mission details on the Black Phone. "The Underworld Fetus Mission is a game of hide-and-seek where the stakes are life and death. Now that I've entered the World Behind the Door, am I supposed to find whatever the Underworld Fetus has hidden? Could this be my first showdown with it?"
Chen Ge thought that was likely. He took out the Black Phone and was about to check the mission again when footsteps suddenly sounded in the second-floor hallway.
They were very, very light, like a child tiptoeing. If Chen Ge didn't have Ghost Ear, he definitely wouldn't have heard them.
"Did someone just pass by?" The thought had barely crossed Chen Ge's mind when his eyes flew open. "No! The monsters formed from memories in the world behind the door can't make sounds. I already tested that!"
Jiang Ming was deaf and couldn't hear the sounds of the world, but he could hear the voice inside his own mind.
The world behind the door had been woven from his memories. Aside from outsiders, Jiang Ming himself should be the only one here who could make a sound!
