Chapter 275: Home

The things that grew on the meaty walls became stranger and stranger while the voices in their ears became more and more normal. The innocent laughter, the warm conversation and the loving concern...

“The things I hear and I see belong to different worlds.” The fur on the back of the big dog’s neck stood up. This place made him very uncomfortable. “Gao Ming, we should stop moving forward.” The big dog rarely called Gao Ming by his name. This meant that he was really scared.

“Can you hear the voices too?” Gao Ming’s status was different from that of the big dog. He felt the voices were very familiar. Even though the conversations didn’t involve him, he could hear the invitation in them, like his family asking him to come home. He slowly walked down the tunnel. He couldn’t hear any problems with the voices. It was as if he had grown up with them all along.

“Stop moving forward!” The big dog warned. He reached out to bite Gao Ming’s arm. The jaws bit at the air. Gao Ming was right before him, but he couldn’t touch him.

“Shit! Stop listening to the voices!” The big dog barked. He wanted to drag Gao Ming away, but the liquid that oozed out of the intestine matted his fur. Gaps opened in the wall and bit on him like small mouths.

“Gao Ming!” Gao Ming was startled awake. The voices around him disappeared. When he turned around, the big dog was gone. The giant dog that was bigger than Gao Ming was gone. Instead, only a small, plastic toy dog remained. Gao Ming picked up the toy and poked its tummy. It barked cutely.

“Damn. I’ve been separated from the big dog.” Gao Ming quickly snapped to attention. However, he had no idea when he had been charmed. He stood there and looked at the path that he came from. The intestine tunnel was dark and creepy. It was filled with disgusting corpses. The big dog was not with him.

“I have to be more careful and can’t be distracted anymore. Situ An’s home should be here somewhere!”

Gao Ming had his own colourful picture, so he knew the uniqueness of a parent. However, he had never been inside his home, so he had no concept of home. Gao Ming took a deep breath and turned around. He narrowed his eyes.

The disgusting tunnel was gone. Instead, he stood in the corridor of an old building. Holding the toy dog, he turned around again. The tunnel behind him turned into a corridor as well. Everything happened so suddenly that everything earlier felt like an illusion.

“Am I in Situ An’s home?”

Footsteps came from inside the room. Soon, the door opened. A middle-aged woman around 50 appeared at the door.

“Granny!” The little fatty held the bottle and ran into the room.

“What a cute kid.” The middle-aged woman rubbed the little fatty’s head lovingly. Then, she turned to Gao Ming, “And you are?”

“Is this Situ An’s home?” Gao Ming’s heart raced.

“Yes. Do you need anything from him?” The woman was very open about it. “He is still at work. Do you want to come in to wait for him?”

Gao Ming looked into the room. The apartment was not large, but it was very clean. Calligraphy decorated the walls. There was a stuffed toy box in the corner.

“Okay.” Gao Ming had just answered when the toy dog barked twice. It startled both Gao Ming and the middle-aged woman. Only the fatty looked at the toy dog curiously.

“Was that him?” The kid appeared to like toys a lot.

“I accidentally squeezed his tummy.” Gao Ming smiled and walked forward. He held the door and sensed his surroundings. Gao Ming was very careful, but it was unnecessary. Nothing scary happened around him.

“My dishes are almost ready. You can wait here, and we can eat together later.” The middle-aged woman wiped her hands on her apron and returned to the kitchen.
