Tang Ning was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He didn't know how much Du Feng had read. Du Feng didn't know Chinese characters, so it wasn't a big problem.
Thinking of this, Tangning calmed down a little.
"They are looking at the things you took, and the photographer wants you to come over and take a look." Du Feng explained: "He sent you a message but you didn't reply, so he asked me to come over and call you."
After what happened last night, Tang Ning turned on the Do Not Disturb mode on her phone and did not log into the chat software on her computer, so she did not see the messages.
He took out his phone and opened the group chat, and sure enough, he saw that Chen Yan had sent him a private message. Chen Yan did not send it in the small group for work on this business trip because there were already some things in the group that were not shared.
Tangning smiled politely at Du Feng. He turned off his computer and walked beside Du Feng. Du Feng suddenly said, "Chen Yan recommended a learning software to me. I input it by hand and clicked the voice play button. Then I can understand what he said."
Tang Ning glanced at Du Feng, wondering if he should give Du Feng a thumbs up and praise his diligence and eagerness to learn.
"Can you download it too?" Du Feng turned around and looked at Tangning intently, "I don't want to hear you talk through anyone else."
This is a good idea.
Tang Ning downloaded the software without hesitation. As soon as he successfully installed it, Du Feng stared at him eagerly, as if he wanted to hear his speech.
Tangning was a little worried that Du Feng didn't want to talk to him: ""
Tangning tentatively typed a question into the software: "How are you doing with your studies now?"
The mechanical voice of the male voice he chose was "sexy", but unfortunately it didn't have his original "sexy" voice.
"You can write 'Tang Ning' and 'Du Feng'." Du Feng stared at Tang Ning with his deep black eyes. This time, he pronounced the name "Tang Ning" clearly without any accent.
Tang Ning thought, hey, if my name was Tang Dan, you wouldn’t be so proud now.
Tangning thought so in her heart, but her hands were still typing quickly: "Wow, you are amazing!"
This is how Lin Yun taught him to balance things, right? After a few compliments, Tangning looked at the man with admiration. He reviewed his lessons, blinked, and then looked at Du Feng with his eyes slightly wide open.
The two of them looked at each other. Du Feng's expression was not as happy as Tangning had imagined. Tangning continued to write, "Humility makes people progress. I admire your attitude of not being surprised by praise or criticism!"
Du Feng had a completely blank expression on his face.
Tangning put away his phone and continued walking with Du Feng. He couldn't help but feel some doubts in his mind.
Why is Du Feng illiterate? Is it because his family is poor and he can't afford to go to school? Or was Du Feng unwilling to study seriously when he was a child
Before Tang Ning could figure out what was going on, they walked over to Chen Yan.
Lin Yun, Zeng Yishuang, and Chen Yan were all there, waiting for Tangning to arrive.
The seat they reserved for Tang Ning was in the center. Tang Ning took her seat carefully and watched Chen Yan start playing a video.
This is an unprocessed video footage of a snow-white face in the woods, late at night. The face is so good-looking that even with the camera pointing straight at it, there is no flaw. He stares blankly at the screen, his empty eyes without any spirit.
Tang Ning's breathing stagnated as he stared anxiously at the face that looked exactly like him. An indescribable panic enveloped his heart.
He saw the "Tangning" in the video suddenly widen his eyes and open his mouth in fear, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. The next moment—
"This expression is really good! Teacher Tang can try acting!"
"Hahahaha, I really think Brother Ning is more suitable to be an actor. It's a waste for him to be a host with his looks."
"Clap your hands! We are all Tangning's fans tonight!!!"
"Hey hey hey, I've always been a die-hard fan of Brother Ning, not just tonight."
Tangning: “?”
Tangning was confused as she heard the sound of conversation coming from the video.
The camera lens turned, and many people came out from the darkness. They were laughing, some holding bamboo hats, and some holding a stack of gray and black robes and felt hats. These people were obviously the production staff before the players came in.
The "Tang Ning" in the video smiled insincerely, "Alright, stop bragging. I know my own weight. Come on, let's change our clothes."
"I never thought that my first acting experience would be for a corpse. I sacrificed too much to shoot some material."
"Tangning has to stand at the back, otherwise even if she shows off her perfect jawline, it will be easily picked out by netizens with microscopes."
"Lin Yun, you are suitable to teach us how to flatter Teacher Tang."
"Who will stand in the front then? Can the driver stand in the front?"
"Chen Yan, why don't you come and try it too? Just put the camera there."
""
The people in the video were talking and laughing as they changed into gray and black robes and put on tall felt hats on their heads. They looked at each other's looks and bickered from time to time.
A strange NPC stood next to the group of staff. He had his back to the camera, wearing a green outfit, a bag with a talisman on his waist, a bell in his hand, and straw sandals on his feet. He shook the bell and instructed the production crew on how to act like a corpse, "Yes, this hand should be raised, just like the zombies in movies and TV shows."
The driver standing at the head of the line raised his hand uncomfortably.
"Uncle Mu, didn't you say that we should put cinnabar on our face?" someone asked.
"Yes, you need to use the best cinnabar to draw the talisman, and then stick the talisman on the seven orifices, and also put cinnabar in the nose." The NPC said as the show effect and put some cinnabar on the driver's nose. He added something to the driver: "Tie the talisman around the neck with a colorful rope."
Under the guidance of this NPC, the members of the program crew completed the costumes one after another. They stood in the dark woods like real dead bodies.
"Okay, I'll ring the bell and you guys dance." The NPC shook his head and said, "You ask me what this bell is for? Just let the passers-by pay attention to it, keep an eye on the dogs, close the doors, and drive the corpses over here."
He spoke in a very relaxed tone, and the production crew members who played the dead bodies also laughed. They said with a smile: "Try to get through in one take!" "The driver's expression must be tense." "Everyone should be more coordinated, otherwise others may lose the rhythm and not keep up with the rest of the group."
The clear sound of bells rang out in the dark forest, the laughter gradually died down, and this group of people in strange costumes put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them and jumped forward with expressionless faces.
“Boom.”
The person at the head of the team is the first driver to die.
“Boom.”
The face of a dead player followed closely.
“Boom.”
The face of another dead player appeared.
“Boom.”
The face of the third player who died on the bus appeared.
They jumped over step by step in the darkness, their gray and black robes swaying slightly, and their hats covering most of their faces. As the night deepened, it was difficult to see who was behind them.
Tang Ning watched the bizarre scene in the video with fear and trepidation. It was like watching the protagonists in a horror movie desperately seeking death. What was even more exciting was that the protagonist had a face exactly like his. His eyelids kept twitching, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
“Boom.”
A man standing in the middle of the team showed half of his face. Upon closer inspection, it was Huang Tianshen who was hit by a car. Like the person pretending to be a dead body, he stood straight with both hands on the shoulders of the person in front of him. He also had a hand on his shoulder.
All the players outside the video were staring at the hand. They had realized something was wrong, especially Zeng Yi. She had seen with her own eyes what happened after the ghost got on the car, and also witnessed the order of death of the other three players.
It actually matches the order of the team in the video perfectly!
If the queue order is the order of death, then who will die next? !
“Boom.”
The person behind Huang Tianshen jumped forward a step, and the video suddenly went dark. The next moment, a pale face emerged from the shadows and stood in the center of the screen. That face was good-looking, and none of the facial features were delicate. Even a close-up camera could find any flaws.
It’s a pity that those beautiful eyes were lifeless and stared at the camera with an unusual emptiness.
Tangning covered his mouth and stared at the strange "self" on the screen in horror. A chill ran through his body.
He saw his eyes suddenly widen, his mouth opened, and he let out a scream full of fear—
“Ahhhh!!!”
The video ended here. The players gathered around the computer fell into a solemn atmosphere. No one spoke. Tangning sat in the middle of the table, staring blankly at the dark screen. He saw his face reflected in the center of the screen, his eyes widened in fear.
"There must be something wrong with this video. The ending and the beginning are the same." Lin Yun said: "We can't rule out the influence of supernatural powers."
"The queueing order and the death order are exactly the same." Zeng Yishuang said softly.
"Does anyone recognize whose hand that is?" Chen Yan said as he opened the depressing and weird video again. He dragged the progress bar to the end and zoomed in on the hand. The slender pale fingers and the wrist were hidden in the gray-black cuffs. It was difficult to identify the hand just by looking at the blurry image.
"This is not my hand. My fingers are not that long and thin." Zeng Yishuang was thankful for having a pair of small fleshy hands for the first time.
Then there are only three male players left.
Lin Yun, Chen Yan, Tang Ning.
Which of them will be the next to die
Tang Ning's heart was still beating violently, over and over, thump thump thump. The eerie image of the team's heartbeats kept flashing through his mind. He touched his own hand and felt it looked very similar, but he couldn't be sure if the hand in the video was not his.
"Du Feng, do you know what's going on?" After Chen Yan asked this question, everyone looked at the silent Du Feng.
"You are driving corpses." Du Feng said slowly.
Tangning waited for Du Feng to say the next word, but Du Feng didn't say anything.
Lin Yun frowned and everyone looked at him.
The dark eyes met Tangning's confused ones, and Du Feng began to explain, "Each of you took away a ghost."
