The two took a break for a while, and then a staff member invited them to the next screening hall.
"A Ghost in a Dream" has very few viewers. Li Hongying and Jiang Xiaoli sat in the first row this time, holding hands next to each other. Jiang Xiaoli burped while eating the popcorn, feeling like she was full after watching a movie, eating popcorn and drinking Coke all afternoon. This saves a meal ticket.
Waiting until the opening of the movie, there were only eight people in the entire screening hall.
"You seem to be getting better and better." Jiang Xiaoli whispered.
"Hmm. Maybe Youyou wants to use my hand to clean up the ghosts." Li Hongying replied, "But I don't know... when will he want to clean up me."
"You won't lose control..." Well, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly thought that Li Hongying would indeed lose control. The more powerful the ghost, the higher the threat if it gets out of control. In this way, the game made Li Hongying become stronger so quickly... It is not certain whether it is a good thing or not. It's okay within the controllable range, but in the long run... I hope Li Hongying will never lose control. Jiang Xiaoli squeezed Li Hongying's fingertips, sighed and said nothing.
Ghosts in Dreams... It tells the story of a haunted house in a residential building. In the beginning, a white-collar worker was hit. He returned home exhausted, washed and rested as usual, but was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night. He suspected ghosts, but was soothed by his wife, and ended up dreaming every day for three days. When he couldn't bear it and was about to ask an expert to do it, he died suddenly in the middle of the night. Her wife was startled, the police, the ambulance... After a busy period, the wife who was crying and preparing for the funeral the next day also began to have nightmares repeatedly.
It's like an epidemic, like a plague. It quickly spread throughout the building. Sudden death... like a coincidence. But one coincidence after another seems very strange. The special case team began to file an investigation, but found nothing. Someone invited a master to do it, and fluttering spells were scattered and burned in this building, but the number of people who died suddenly was increasing...
Die in your sleep.
It's not a horror movie because there aren't any scary moments. Some are just fragments of one death after another. From old people to children, from deep sleep to nightmares of sudden awakening, from a series of nightmares to sudden death with palpitations. Gray sky, gray residential buildings, one stretcher after another, ambulances coming and going, and police cars wandering around from time to time. The debris of the talisman paper in the downstairs of the residential building was there every day... until the moving cars frequented it later.
When this building is empty, it spreads to the next building and spreads to the whole community.
A little boy with only the whites of his eyes was sitting on the roof of the top floor shaking his feet, not afraid of falling. Under him was another new ambulance, and he looked at it with an excited smile.
The background music of the movie gradually becomes softer and softer, as if it is massaging every inch of your nerves, relaxing you until you fall asleep.
When Jiang Xiaoli saw the boy, he looked around and saw that six of them were asleep. Only she and Li Hongying were awake.
"... It seems that no one is a player in this game." Li Hongying shrugged and said. "Dream to kill, this movie is very simple. As long as you don't fall asleep."
"Can you deal with that ghost?"
"No. Unless it manifests itself." Li Hongying shrugged, her ability to deal with those straight-forward ghosts is not a problem at all. But this kind of hide-and-seek ghost who doesn't want to show itself... She couldn't catch it, and if she couldn't catch it, she was naturally helpless. But such a ghost can't do any harm to her.
Some audience members fell asleep and suddenly woke up trembling, covered in cold sweat. And some audience members were still unable to wake up, although they showed fear and even trembled and shouted.
The waking audience was too frightened to go back to sleep, and those who fell asleep in terror never woke up.
"Hello, here are your meal coupons and luxury cruise coins, please keep them."
After the two movies ended, it was already dusk. The staff handed over the rewards and stood aside obediently.
Jiang Xiaoli, who ate too much popcorn, is not hungry yet, but she is a little sleepy. Maybe it's because the last movie was too hypnotic and she couldn't sleep. She couldn't help yawning after leaving the cinema.
Three cruise coins, four dining coupons, and six days left.
"For a song and dance hall... the experience is to go to singing and dancing? Speaking of which, the daily recommendation does not include game halls and bars." Jiang Xiaoli recalled the words of those staff members. Perhaps part of the reason they said this was because they did not want Li Hongying Set foot there, but it should also be within the rules, right. No meal coupons are given, so it is estimated that it is the same as a casino, and meal coupons can only be obtained after passing the game. Jiang Xiaoli plans to go to see the dance hall or something... She sings and dances so-so, and she is too embarrassed to make a fool of herself. In the game hall, she is a house girl, she can't sing and dance, how can she still lose the game!
...Jiang Xiaoli didn't know why there were colorful lights flashing in the game hall, making it look like a disco. Moreover, there is indeed a sign outside the game hall that says Do not enter the ghosts.
Li Hongying's figure gradually became transparent, and finally merged into Jiang Xiaoli's heart. Jiang Xiaoli walked around outside, and then went straight into the game hall. Those staff were hesitant to speak, obviously trying to stop it. But Jiang Xiaoli didn't have any yin energy on her body, instead, she was contaminated with a little ghost energy, but it was very light, and there was no way to stop it.
It's kind of like a video arcade here.
Motorcycles, shooting, driving, drumming, King of Fighters, shooting basketball... a series of equipment that Jiang Xiaoli is familiar with, and there is actually a claw machine here! But what he grabbed was not the doll, but the meal coupons in the box. The box was oddly shaped, not square, but it looked like it could be picked up.
I don’t know what the setting of the claw machine here is. Anyway, some claws in the reality of the claw machine are so loose that they can’t grab things at all.
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a while, then walked to the shooting game.
How to put it, when she was a student—before Jiang's father released her and Jiang's mother to travel around all day long, she often came here to play with her father. Game hall prize tickets are in boxes.
Jiang Xiaoli rolled up his sleeves and looked at the price. A cruise coin is cast for one round. A round of ten balls.
Nine out of ten balls get a meal coupon.
It looks... pretty normal. That is, the shooting basket does not look like a simple basket, but a big mouth, about the size of an ordinary basket, motionless. There is no such thing as a ball net in the "basket", and when it is thrown in... it seems to disappear. Jiang Xiaoli began to suspect that this thing was a ghost with an open mouth. She threw the cruise coin into it, and ten... human heads rolled over on the raceway
They are human heads, but they are all shaved bald. Some heads were still crying, tears wet the raceway drop by drop, and some looked terrified and flustered. But they couldn't make a sound, their mouths opened and closed, and Jiang Xiaoli found that they didn't even have tongues.
One of them, Jiang Xiaoli looked at the facial features, and suddenly found that she seemed to have seen this person in a movie theater... He should also be a "guest", but he died at that time...
"Guest, the game has begun." A staff member next to him urged with a smile on his face, but the arc of the smile was so weird. He looked at Jiang Xiaoli, as if he was waiting for this guest to break down and go crazy.
"Are these former guests?"
"What are you talking about?" The staff member smiled brighter, and he said, "Our cruise ship has always adhered to the principle of 'environmental protection and utilization'."
Jiang Xiaoli took a deep breath, her hands were trembling a little, it would be a lie to say that she was not panicking. Fortunately, she had expected it long ago, so she was not frightened, but panicked. Li Hongying is so powerful, she can't rely on that ghost for everything, right? This is already the fourth game.
Closing her eyes, Jiang Xiaoli picked up the first "ball". When she held it in her hand, she suddenly trembled in fright, and the ball rolled down into the raceway again. She just accidentally touched the "eye" and it blinked.
The touch of the palm is really not good, obviously if she touches Li Hongying's face, not only will she not respond like this, but she will also feel ambiguous. Jiang Xiaoli tried her best to calm herself down, and picked up the ball again under the gloating gaze of the staff on the side. She compared the position and height, recalled the skills when she played this time a few years ago, and threw it out.
"goo"
The "ball" was accurately thrown into the mouth without falling and without any reaction. It's just that after the ball went in, the ball frame closed, and the side was stained with a little blood, like the juice splashed from a smashed watermelon. Jiang Xiaoli didn't dare to spread his thoughts and continue to think deeply.
These people are dead... dead... dead...
Just normal basketball, just an illusion.
Jiang Xiaoli told herself this, and then picked up the second "ball".
The second ball was wet, with tears and snot all over his face. The staff took out a cloth and wiped the ball casually, then stuffed it back into Jiang Xiaoli's hand. The ball cried even harder, with his mouth opening and closing, Jiang Xiaoli held it carefully, looked at the basket that opened again, took a deep breath and barely calmed down, dribbled and threw the ball.
…
"This is the meal coupon you got, please keep it."
Jiang Xiaoli took the dining coupon and walked out of the game hall. The seven-color lights inside were still dazzling, but her face was pale. Li Hongying appeared to support her, and wanted to ask something with some concern, when she saw Jiang Xiaoli bent over and retched.
"I need to wash my hands..."
The touch of human skin, the touch of tears, and even movement, she can also feel them blinking, crying, shouting, and calling for help. They were obviously dead, but when Jiang Xiaoli threw the ball into the basket, he always felt like he had killed someone.
"Okay, I'll take you back." Li Hongying leaned over and was about to hug Jiang Xiaoli horizontally. As soon as she bent down, Jiang Xiaoli hooked her neck and buried her in her arms. Her voice was low and soft, calling her weakly. .
"I'm never going to an arcade again."
"No, we got meal coupons from other places." Li Hongying coaxed carefully, and felt that Jiang Xiaoli was extremely cute at this moment. Selfishly, I thought it would be better to come a few more times, but seeing Jiang Xiaoli feeling so uncomfortable, I gave up the idea again. Jiang Xiaoli struggled when shooting the ball, but she didn't show any extreme emotions. Li Hongying thought that Jiang Xiaoli was fine, but she didn't expect Jiang Xiaoli to be overwhelmed once she went out. "I thought you weren't afraid."
"It's not that I'm afraid. It's... it's uncomfortable, it feels bad." Jiang Xiaoli corrected, "But I've already paid for the cruise currency, and the staff member is still looking at me mockingly waiting for my joke... Never give up."
"However, it's disgusting. It's too uncomfortable." Jiang Xiaoli buried herself in Li Hongying's arms, and the feeling of icy coldness was ten thousand times better than those of the "balls" just now.
This cruise ship is really shocking.
