"So... come to me for help?"
Wen Zimei looked at the three people who rushed forward in front of her, and couldn't help sighing: "Okay... okay... I understand, this secret passage is really suitable, and you have thought it through."
Zhao Ji will die in the horror movie called "Shadow Demon". This horror film is about a girl who dies after being bullied, her resentment causes her shadow to come to life and keep killing those who bullied her. Horror movies with the theme of revenge can also be said to be common, and the genre is nothing new, but in reality, you will find that this is a very difficult problem.
To deal with that shadow, you have to enter a completely dark place with no light source. However, the protagonist in the movie finally came up with this method and tried to deal with the shadow, but the shadow would always find a way to make the environment he entered produce a light source, and finally killed the protagonist brutally.
Having learned the lessons from the movie, Ah Jing took Zhao Ji to the fishing village in City A before dark, and met Zi Mei again in the secret passage.
"I understand..." The four of them sat cross-legged on the ground in the dark passage corridor. Although the ground was very damp, it was not the time to care about it.
"Now... I don't know what time it is, but there's nothing I can do about it." Ah Jing groped in the dark, finally grabbed Zi Mei's hand, and said, "Listen up... well, to be honest, it's so dark, who can't help it?" I can't see anyone, I really don't know what to do. I have learned the lesson of Yuanxiu's death, to prevent the cursed person from being suddenly transferred to another place, Zi Mei, you should be able to do it, right?"
"Yes... Of course, I am a psychic. But I guarantee that such a thing will not happen in this secret passage, because I have spread my aura throughout the secret passage in order to prevent the villagers from finding out, not to mention that I am The physique of a ghost, no matter how powerful that shadow is, it can't be compared with a ghost, right? Mr. Zhao Ji? Don't worry, in this place, basically your life can be guaranteed."
Next, Ah Jing considered various unexpected situations.
The first is whether this dark passage can completely isolate the light source. Zi Meiyou took the electricity here secretly, so Ah Jing knew this very well, so she asked her to cut off the power supply, and temporarily sealed the door that could open the secret passage with nails, and finally, put the things that could emit light on everyone's bodies. Take it away.
Fortunately, Zhao Ji didn't smoke, and he didn't have a lighter or matches on him, and he absolutely couldn't take his cell phone with him, so he put them in the car. I checked again that there was nothing on my body that could reflect light, and everyone sat in this absolutely dark place. Even if there is a tiny gap through which light can pass, it will never create enough space to form a shadow.
Now everyone, all of them are sitting in this dark environment.
"Zi Mei, the alarm clock has been set to midnight, right? Are you sure there is no light-emitting function?"
"Yes, sure. Now this is a pure and absolutely opaque dark world, and the entrance is sealed. I also try my best to release my supernatural power, and use my strength to ensure that Mr. Zhao's body will not move to other places." It should be safe to go to the place... "
"I don't want to 'should', run dark, you have to not release the soul devouring eyes, because at that time the eyes will emit a little light, although it is not enough to produce light enough to form a shadow, and the time is very short, but we No gaps can be left for the shadow."
In this way, everyone held hands and sat cross-legged. Holding hands is because in this way we can be sure that the other party is always by our side.
In this completely dark environment, even if there are no ghosts, it is already scary enough.
Suddenly, a bell rang loudly, cheering up everyone's spirits.
It's midnight and the day of death is here!
Everyone starts to get nervous. Ah Jing who held Zhao Ji's hand also asked: "Zhao Ji...is it still you?"
She was really afraid that what she was holding now was something else.
"Ah, it's me, Miss Ren... Do we really want to keep this state for 24 hours?"
"If you want to die, just go out."
"I... I'm just asking casually..."
In the dark, there is no way to know how much time has passed. I was running around all day yesterday, and I didn’t even have time to sleep. It’s not normal to not be sleepy at this time.
Despite the yawning and eyelid fights, everyone told themselves in their hearts: Can't sleep, if you sleep, you're finished. Especially Zhao Ji, he knew that if he survived for a minute, his hope of survival would increase by one point. Looking back on the deaths of the previous few people, if Run An and A Jing hadn't promised to protect him, he would really collapse.
Zhao Ji told Run An and the others that he still has some doubts about whether there are real ghosts in this world. He is a science student, and he always despises non-scientific superstitions. If it didn't happen this time He has done so many incredible things that he doesn't think about it from the perspective of ghosts and gods. All he could think was who killed them.
Do ghosts really exist? And it's the ghost in the movie? The movie is just made up, those ghosts are played by humans or computer special effects, how could it be possible to run out and kill people? If you fully agree with these things, it is tantamount to completely denying his previous worldview.
But... All kinds of facts are in front of us, ghosts do exist...
Ah Jing finally couldn't hold it anymore, so she suggested: "That's good... Let's take turns sleeping, and at least one person is awake. Well, it's so dark that I can't tell the time, Zi Mei, let you wake up first, you Wake up one of us after mentally going from 1 to 1000 at normal second speed, then keep that person awake... how about that?"
"All right… "
Now, Run An and Ah Jing immediately closed their eyelids, and within a minute, they all fell asleep. Zhao Ji seemed to be unable to fight the sleepy bug himself, and finally began to snore.
Zi Mei held Zhao Ji's hand tightly, and began to count in her heart.
In this way, the shifts were changed round after round, and everyone barely fell asleep and woke up, woke up and slept, and finally all fell asleep.
The first person to wake up was Run An.
"What's going on... How long have I been asleep? Ah, everyone, get up, is Zhao Ji still here?"
Everyone was woken up by him, everyone rubbed their eyes and yawned, still feeling weak, but they all reacted immediately. After confirming that Zhao Ji was still there, everyone finally felt relieved.
"Now... what time is it?"
"If the alarm clock didn't ring, it means it's not midnight yet, but I guess it's around six to seven in the morning... People usually wake up naturally at this time." Run An deduced in this way, compared with the previous ones, Zhao Ji lived a relatively long life.
Sure enough, there is nothing to do? No, in fact, there are still many ways to bring light into this basement, but the surroundings are filled with the aura of Zimei, which can be said to be double insurance.
"Qiankun."
"Longyue."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhao Ji asked puzzled.
"Make sure the other party is still that person. This is not the first time we have encountered this kind of thing."
"Then... what about me? How can you be sure that I am me?"
"It's okay... My supernatural ability can sense your existence. If you are no longer you, then I can't feel it. As for Zimei, we fully believe in her ghost physique."
"Hehe... I'll just take it as you are complimenting me."
However, for Run An, there was a glimmer of hope. As long as Zhao Ji can live until midnight today, then the death curses of him, Run Li, and Ah Jing can be eliminated together...
Yes, rescued with Ah Jing... together.
Run An is no longer as wary of Ah Jing as he was at first, he has completely believed in her and regards her as a companion, and he hopes in his heart that he can be rescued together with her. If in the end, only he and Runli can be saved and Ah Jing will die, he will not be happy either. Without Ah Jing, he would still be that poor guy who escaped from his own destiny, but now, he can challenge his destiny.
Without Ah Jing, he would not be able to fight any longer, let alone face the coming horrible curse.
No matter what the final result is, Ah Jing is destined to be an important turning point in his life, and besides Runli, she is the most important person to him in this world.
"Speaking of which... Run An," Ah Jing said suddenly: "There is one thing, don't you find it strange? Why can't we find the ninth person? No one can remember the existence of that person. No hunch about him, did you?"
"Speaking of which, it is true. Why is that?"
"My guess is... Zhao Ji, listen to me too, and help me analyze it. The ninth person may not exist at all."
"No... doesn't exist?"
"Yeah... On that day, everyone couldn't remember who the ninth person was... Isn't that a strange thing in itself?"
Yes, everyone remembers that there were nine people watching a horror movie that day, but none of them remembered what that person looked like. But Tu Bingzong himself, the only one who knew the existence of the ninth person, was already dead. All his relics were also burned, so there was no way to find out who the ninth person was. Originally, Run An had already recorded the faces of all the people in the graduation handbook in his mind, and when the image of the ninth person appeared, he could take a seat and find each other.
However, what if the ninth person does not exist
Thinking about it this way, it was too creepy. It is obvious that nine people gather together to watch a horror movie, but in fact the ninth person does not exist!
The ninth person... Could it be...
Feng Hui, who was still soundly asleep at home, was awakened by the rapid ringing of the phone. He opened his eyes slightly, took the microphone aside, and said, "Hello...who is it?"
"Is it Gao Fenghui? Is it you? I finally found your phone number in the phone book at home. Help... help, I called the police station just now, but everyone said I was crazy..."
"Yeah... you're crazy, who are you... I don't know you..."
"You...you don't know me anymore? I was one of the people who was invited by Bingzong to watch a horror movie at his house on Halloween! There were nine people there that day?"
"Oh... um... what!" He immediately sobered up most of the wine, and asked quickly, "You... you are the ninth person? Really, it's easy for me to find! I said why didn't you come to Bingzong's funeral?"
"Because I don't like reading news and newspapers... No, let's not mention this. I am now hiding in a public toilet at the junction of Dongyao Road and Beishi Road. I only found out from the newspaper a few days ago that Bing Zong died strangely." .Actually, I don’t know if you noticed. The horror movie we watched that day had scenes that shouldn’t appear, and there were real ghosts! Please hurry up and save me, I’m going to die..."
"No, don't worry, your death date has not yet arrived. Forget it, don't mention this... Tell me what your name is, and I will come over immediately!"
"That's great...my name is Zhao Ji..."
The phone in Feng Hui's hand fell to the ground in an instant, and he was completely stunned for a moment.
But at this moment, Zhao Ji, who was hiding in the single room of the public toilet and was on the phone, kept yelling at the phone. However, he watched in horror as a shadow came in through the gap in the door, and the shadow's body In his hand, it looked as if he was holding a rope, and then it was tightly coiled around the neck of his shadow reflected on the wall.
"Ah... I... I can't do it... ah..."
His mobile phone fell to the ground, his feet kept kicking on the ground, but he couldn't escape, his neck was getting tighter and tighter...
Soon, he stopped struggling completely, and the phone fell to the ground, and Feng Hui's voice came from inside: "Hey, hello, are you talking? Hey!"
But at this moment in the secret passage, Run An suddenly couldn't feel Zhao Ji's existence anymore, and hurriedly touched the surroundings, but found nothing.
"Zhao Ji...he...where is he?"
Of course, it was impossible for Run An to find that "Zhao Ji".
A ninth person does not exist.
No one knew what it was.
