Today is Halloween, October 31st.
Three years after graduating from university, Gao Fenghui, who was married and had children in City G, still likes to get together with his former university classmates on this day. Usually on this day, people like to hold a masquerade party and play as various monsters. Children often put on a pumpkin head to knock on the door for candy. However, in mainland China, this Western festival is not as well-known as Christmas after all, and it is impossible to see ghosts and ghosts running all over the streets. What's more, holding a masquerade party also requires costs.
Furthermore, festivals are just an excuse for everyone to gather together, there is no need to think too much about the form, as long as there is an atmosphere. Fenghui's wife is not too strict with him, as long as he doesn't come back too late and doesn't drink too much alcohol. In fact, people who are married can also go with their wives, but the wives have to take care of their sons who have just turned one year old, so they have to stay at home.
Halloween is coming, and I have to go to work. Fortunately, Fenghui's unit gets off work relatively early recently, and after get off work, several colleagues invited him to a bar for a drink to celebrate Halloween, but he politely declined, saying that he was spending it with his college classmates.
Looking back now, because of the relationship between our respective jobs, the last time we met was two years ago. Halloween last year and the year before last were busy, so everyone couldn't spare time. Right now, I don't know what's going on with everyone. But this time, the location of the meeting was negotiated on the phone, which was at Bingzong's home.
Bing Zong and Feng Hui were the best buddies when they were in college, and they all share the same interests, that is, they love horror movies. The two often download a lot of scary horror movies online, and then watch them together in the dark bedroom. Although rarely frightened, this memory is very nostalgic. After graduating from college, he paid less attention to horror movies, and after he got married, he began to watch more family-friendly movies.
Is Bingzong still the same? On the way to his house, he sat on the bus and began to picture Bingzong's current appearance in his mind.
Sitting next to him is an extremely beautiful young woman, and because of her decent attire, she looks full of temperament and seems to have connotations. Therefore, it attracted the attention of many people in the bus.
Even Fenghui couldn't help admiring the woman's beauty and temperament at this moment. Her eyes and demeanor seemed to have inherited the blood of nobles. Even if she didn't speak, she still made people feel noble. At this time, the woman was putting a book on her lap, reading it intently. She looked very peaceful, and she didn't seem to notice the eyes watching her around at all.
From the angle where Fenghui was sitting, he could see the cover of the book, the title of which was "Knowing G City".
Could it be that she is a foreigner? Although the dress is simple, but it shows a quality, looks like a well-educated person.
Feng Hui couldn't help guessing the identity of the woman, but at this moment, the woman suddenly closed the book and stood up. At this time, a man sitting behind her also stood up and said, "Ah Jing, what's the matter? Haven't you arrived yet? There is still one stop to go."
"Let's go on foot from this station, I want to get familiar with the surrounding environment first."
She opened her mouth to answer the man, and Feng Hui could clearly hear her being called "A Jing" by the man. Paying close attention to the man, he was surprised to find that the man's eyes were actually purple. But overall, he should be Asian.
"A habit? I'm not sure if I'll buy this house," said the man with purple eyes, "Besides, I need to be familiar with it, so I'm not in a hurry."
At this moment, the car door opened, and the woman had already got out of the car, and the purple-eyed man behind also sighed helplessly, and walked down with her.
After getting off the bus, Ah Jing seemed relieved to see the bus gradually moving away.
"What's wrong?" Runan asked.
"Didn't you notice that many people are looking at me? Although they may not be from the Nuosolan company, it's better to be careful."
"So that's how it is," Run An finally understood: "I'm afraid it's because you are beautiful, but those who look at you don't have the eyes of perverts, they are full of surprise... because you see It's too ethereal to get up."
"That's also natural... My mother is a nobleman of a wealthy family. My great-grandfather was granted the title of earl abroad, and he still has some connections with the royal family. When I was young, my mother trained my temperament according to the standards of the nobility. Now, it has become a habit. gone."
Ah Jing is really a calm person. When she said these words, she did not show off at all, as if her mother's family was an ordinary family.
"Okay, let's not talk about this... let me see," Run An took out a piece of paper, which recorded the address of the house that was given to them by the real estate agency and was eager to sell. It seems that the owner of the house is eager to immigrate abroad, so he wants to sell the house in China as soon as possible, so the price is not expensive. Today, the two of them are going there to discuss the price of the house.
"It's not bad, and the cost of decoration can be saved a lot... Speaking of which, today is Halloween," Run An noticed the pumpkin heads hanging at the entrances of some shops, and said, "This day, it won't be a day when the gates of hell are open." day?"
"So... try not to accept candy from the witch..."
"Hey, I'm obviously talking to you seriously..."
When Fenghui arrived at Bingzong's apartment, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought some gifts yet. After all, he hadn't seen him for two years. Although he was a best friend, he couldn't come empty-handed. So he ran to the fruit shop in front of his house to pick oranges.
The stall owner gave him a plastic bag, and he picked out good oranges and put them in. There was one that looked quite big, and he was about to pick it up, but was caught by the other hand. Looking up, he froze for a moment.
The person holding the orange was a woman in professional attire, she looked like a white-collar worker, and Fenghui recognized her at a glance.
"Yuanxiu!"
He immediately blurted out her name, but the woman didn't react for a moment, looked at Fenghui carefully, and immediately called out: "Ah, it's you... Gao Fenghui!"
Lu Yuanxiu was the school flower of their university back then, and also the vice chairman of the student union. She had a lot of contacts and got along well with everyone. But Fenghui didn't expect her to come too, after all, he never contacted her after graduation. Could it be that Bingzong is still communicating with her
"It's been a long time since I saw you. I heard you're married?" Yuanxiu continued to pick oranges, and asked about Fenghui's recent situation: "Do you have any children?"
"Yes, it's a son who just turned one year old." Feng Hui handed the selected oranges to the stall owner and said, "You also came to see Bingzong, right? Do you like Halloween too?"
"Because I've become obsessed with horror novels recently," she said, and suddenly took out a book and said, "Have you read this book?"
The title of the book is "Death from the Human Form", and it is a horror novel when you hear the name, and the author's name is "Yi Runan".
"Is this a pseudonym?" He took the book, flipped through it a little, and said, "The printing is not bad. But, you are a girl, why do you like reading horror novels?"
"It's really scary..." When she said this, it seemed that her hands were still shaking slightly, and she didn't know whether it was because she was afraid or feeling cold.
"Then why are you still holding it in your hands like a baby?"
Both of them had already paid the money at this time, and they both walked to Bingzong's residence, while Yuanxiu was still explaining how the book was so good... It was rare to see each other, so they began to talk about the plot of a novel in detail, probably She is obsessed with this book recently, otherwise she wouldn't be so excited. Although he can clearly see that Yuanxiu seems to be afraid of the plot in it, he still likes the plot in it.
When Run An and Ah Jing were about to walk to the agreed viewing place, suddenly, he began to have a premonition of death. This time, unlike before, the image was produced very clearly.
"What's the matter? Have a premonition?" Ah Jing's reaction was really quick, and Run An immediately noticed a little uncoordinated expression, and asked: "Tell me your name, and your appearance."
"Long Yue, his name is Tu Bingzong. He looks like a man with thick hair covering his left eye. The picture is... standing in front of the TV..."
"Television? Does it have something to do with television?"
If you associate TV with ghosts, anyone who knows something about Japanese horror movies will come up with the word "Midnight Ring".
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be so simple? Just stay away from the TV." Run An obviously felt that this would not be so simple. Judging from past experience, any terrorist incident ends with killing the cursed , so it will not be easy to create a situation where the cursed can escape, that is to say, there must be other restrictions, and the next step is to look at the keyword information that Ah Jing has a hunch.
"Call Runli," Ah Jing raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and said, "Time is running out, and it's almost the time we agreed to look at the house. If it's the same as last time, the date of death is a premonition." On the day of today, we must find that person immediately. At that time, it will be troublesome. It is almost five o'clock now, and today is more than half past."
Run An nodded and started calling the mobile phone number, but no one answered. Runli should be in the hotel right now. Could it be that she went out without her mobile phone? If this is the case, it will not be troublesome.
Do you want to see the house now? Judging from yesterday's conversation, this house is still good, but the other side is a matter of life and death, but it has reached this point, and it is impossible to find the other party within today.
"That's good, you go back to the hotel to find Runli first, I'll go and see the house, and tell you that you can't come because of a temporary business," Ah Jing came up with this best-of-both-worlds solution, so Run An also accepted the proposal, Immediately left.
"Welcome, you two!"
After Bing Zong welcomed Fenghui and Yuanxiu into the house, the two had already seen shoes piled up at the door, it seemed that many people had come.
Walking into the living room, there were indeed quite a lot of people, all of whom were classmates in college, some Fenghui couldn't recognize them, and the coffee table was full of melon seeds, peanuts and candies.
"Come here just to get together, why bother to buy oranges!"
Bing Zong was still the same, nothing changed. After he took the oranges, he said, "Don't do this next time. By the way, are you ready?"
"Prepare?" Feng Hui asked blankly, "Prepare for what?"
"Horror movie show! It's just that everyone is sitting around and chatting. There is no Halloween atmosphere. In recent years, my family has collected a lot of horror movies. You can choose your favorite ones to watch!"
"Ah... It seems that you mentioned it on the phone yesterday... But," he saw that there were a few girls, and said, "Aren't you afraid of scaring them?"
"It's okay, so many people gathered together, what are you afraid of!"
Those words were said by those girls, including Yuan Xiu.
Feng Hui looked at the people present, including him, Yuan Xiu and Bing Zong, there were nine people in total. Fortunately, the living room of Bing Zong's house was big enough, so he didn't worry about being crowded. He greeted a few people he still knew, and the one who impressed him the most was Long Ting, who was always so fat, and Zhong Zili, who was very out of gregarious and silent.
"You're married, right? I'm so envious, we're still bachelors..." Long Ting put his arms around Feng Hui's shoulders and said, "Why don't you bring your wife to have a party today?"
"Because my son was just born and she still needs to take care of her. If it wasn't for so many friends getting together today, I would have stayed at home..."
Everyone started laughing and chatting, until Bing Zong came out with a lot of DVDs. At first glance, there were at least twenty or thirty DVDs! Sure enough, Bing Zong still likes horror movies as always.
After piling up the DVDs, he said, "Let's choose together, and the ones that more than four people agree with will be released!"
Not long after the selection, everyone almost unanimously played "Death from Human Shape"! This is the novel that Run An was made into a movie, and Feng Hui also felt that it was a coincidence, and said to Yuan Xiu: "Isn't this the novel you like? Have you seen the movie too?"
"Of course I've read it!" She was still holding the original novel in her hand, staring at the TV screen excitedly, and said, "But classic things are still classics no matter how many times I read them!"
Fenghui also leaned on the sofa, and started watching with everyone's interest. At the beginning of the film, there is a person running crazily under the dark night street, and everyone is watching intently and holding their breath. Many people even hold their thighs tightly. They have not seen the ghost coming out yet, and their expressions are already horrified. They are ready to be caught at any time. Prepare to be shocked.
Is it that scary? Fenghui couldn't help but continued to read curiously. At this moment, the picture has entered the corridor. The man is a middle-aged man, who looks very strong, and he still looks back from time to time.
The opening is really attractive, although it is not novel, but it is good enough.
And about 3 minutes into the film, the man fell to the ground as if he saw something, and the audience almost stared at the screen, not even daring to blink their eyes.
