In the dimly lit private theater, the movie is still showing.
After the first restless night, after dawn, everyone on the island finally discovered the disappearance of the rich second-generation classmate, and started to search for it.
But after searching every corner of the island, until the sun went down, they couldn't find any trace of the rich second generation, so everyone turned their attention to the labyrinth that the tour guide called the forbidden area.
At this time, the elusive tour guide went online again, reminding everyone not to approach there. He also pointed out in an ominous manner that if their rich second-generation classmate really disappeared in the maze, then there is no need to look for it.
"There is something wrong with this tour guide, he knows about the maze." Xu Xinghe held the hot cocoa that Ling Changfeng handed over, and pretended to be calm.
At this moment, 20 minutes have passed since the last horror scene appeared, and the plot began to enter the main line. Xu Xinghe seemed to have calmed down a bit, his face was much better than before, and he even chatted with Ling Changfeng again: "It seems that the depths of the maze There really are devils, tell me, is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"
"Man-made disaster." Ling Changfeng replied calmly, "Ghosts are not the key, the key is who knows there are ghosts here, and even attracted the students here."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xu Xinghe again: "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
"..." Xu Xinghe took a sip of hot cocoa, raised his chin and said bravely: "I'm not afraid at all."
In the process of searching for the rich second generation in pairs, some past events from thirteen years ago gradually surfaced through their conversations.
On campus that year, they had a female classmate named Emily with excellent grades who later committed suicide.
When it comes to her death, some people have serious expressions, while others keep secret.
"Emily is the girl who jumped off the teaching building at the beginning of the movie, right? The heroine said she committed suicide, but the blond and black-haired girl said she was murdered." Xu Xinghe stared at the projection screen and said.
Ling Changfeng found out that his little spouse was really serious about watching the movie, so he had no choice but to follow his words: "She did commit suicide by jumping off a building, saying that she was the one who was killed, and the focus was on the cause of her death. They You should know some inside information about that year."
While Marshal Ling was analyzing calmly, he silently adjusted the positions of the two people closer.
Xu Xinghe suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Changfeng.
Marshal Ling paused for a secret operation.
Only Xu Xinghe asked: "You don't often watch movies?"
Ling Changfeng turned his gaze back to the big screen as if nothing had happened, and shook his head slightly: "Not often."
"Then you know a lot." Xu Xinghe said, "Generally, people who know the inside story and have a good relationship with the deceased are more likely to have a motive for committing the crime—to avenge the deceased."
Ling Changfeng didn't know if this was a compliment. He wasn't very interested in what the truth was. He was more interested in when the hero and heroine who were assigned to the same group to search for someone would be able to hold hands.
He felt that the red-haired hero in the film was not up to the mark, and talked so much along the way, but he just didn't explain clearly the fact that the heroine misunderstood him for cheating. As a result, the two of them haven't made any progress in their relationship so far, let alone hugs and other intimate actions.
Thinking this way, he adjusted the positions of the two a little closer.
In order to ensure the viewing comfort of each customer, theater seats are generally set separately.
But the problem is that most of the people who come to this kind of private theater to watch movies are couples, so in order to ensure the fun of watching movies between couples, the theater has improved the seats a little.
The fully automatic mechanical seat that can be transformed into various forms can be switched to reclining chairs, massage chairs, etc., and can also be moved to allow the armrests on both sides to shrink automatically, so that the two seats can be seamlessly spliced together to form a whole A double sofa, and even a complete and comfortable bed.
But now, Ling Changfeng moved the seats of the two of them together so silently, but the armrest in the middle hadn't been put down yet.
Xu Xinghe stared at the big screen intently, as if he didn't notice that the distance between the two was shortening a little bit.
In the movie, the story continues.
The sun was setting and night fell again.
The ones who strayed into the maze that night were a pair of men and women who were blaming each other for what happened back then.
The man kept saying that he just wanted to play a joke on Emily, and the woman did it on purpose. The woman's statement was just the opposite, insisting that it was the man maliciously spreading rumors, which ignited all the fuses.
In order to prevent their conversation from being overheard, the two ran away from the villa. After a fierce quarrel broke out, they left angrily, but both entered the maze by mistake.
"This is too ridiculous, why do these two people have to chat at the edge of the maze?" Xu Xinghe complained in a low voice, while tensing up again amidst the weird music, and then subconsciously leaned in Ling Changfeng's direction Come on, "Now I'm going to give away the head again... ahh!"
He screamed with the man in the film.
As soon as the screen turned, a creepy, blood-red eye suddenly appeared behind the black vines.
The man screamed and wanted to escape, but his feet were entangled by the twisting vines, and he was dragged towards the demon little by little.
Two bloodstains were scratched out on the ground with both hands in vain...
Ling Changfeng was not frightened by the sound in the movie, but was almost frightened by Xu Xinghe's cry.
He was about to speak, but the next moment, he suddenly felt a fragrant and soft breath rushing towards him.
Xu Xinghe was like a frightened little animal, so frightened that he shrank his whole body, and subconsciously leaned towards the person.
Unexpectedly, it was so tightly attached to Ling Changfeng's right arm through the armrest.
Marshal Ling silently closed his mouth, lowered his head and pressed the button, lowering the armrest between the two.
Then, the body also leaned a little to the right.
Xu Xinghe didn't realize when the armrest disappeared.
Because the horror scenes in the movie are still going on.
At the other end of the maze, the wounded and bleeding woman was huddled in a corner, holding her arms tightly with both hands, trembling all over under the man's screams, and couldn't help crying.
After a while, the surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared, and there was a dead silence in the maze.
The next moment, the woman's pupils shrank sharply, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
In the night, sharp black claws slowly climbed onto her shoulders, and those blood-red vertical pupils appeared behind her again...
With the silence in the film, the private theater also fell silent.
Xu Xinghe hugged his knees, and curled up in the seat without making a sound.
It's just that his hands are tightly wrapped around his body, and the veins on his hands are about to burst out...
Ling Changfeng turned his head away, looking down at the little hedgehog leaning beside him, the sides of his nose moved slightly.
He felt the pheromones running around the room in fright.
When the blood-stained eye suddenly magnified on the screen, Xu Xinghe was almost frightened.
That kind of frightened and uneasy emotion came to his face, like a kitten with a blown fur, and people couldn't help but want to appease him.
Ling Changfeng suddenly felt a little regretful.
How can I let my little spouse be scared like this under my nose
Under the dim lights of the cinema, Ling Changfeng stretched out his hand, and covered the back of Xu Xinghe's hand with his slightly calloused left hand, and further, squeezed his entire small hand into the palm of his hand.
He finally didn't have to wait for a hand-holding scene in the movie.
As an Alpha, he seemed to know what to do in such a situation.
He showed rare tenderness and patience, and said softly: "It's okay, the movies are all fake... Shall we watch another one?"
Xu Xinghe felt his hand being held by someone, so he shivered violently.
The next moment, a familiar smell came, which made him inexplicably at ease.
He froze for a moment before realizing—
Ling Changfeng held his hand.
Xu Xinghe blinked, but didn't dodge, just asked: "What did you just say?"
"I said, let's watch another movie?"
"I… "
"I know you're not afraid." Ling Changfeng sighed inaudibly, "I'm afraid."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Listening to Ling Changfeng's serious nonsense, he seemed to be in a better mood suddenly, but his voice was still muffled: "Oh, let's watch another one."
Immediately, I realized another problem, straightened up, raised my flickering eyes and asked: "Then what... Were we seated separately just now?" When did we sit together?
As he straightened up, the little hand that Ling Changfeng held in his palm also slipped away naturally.
Yitong moved slightly, but didn't pull back his strength to stay, but said calmly: "You remember wrongly, the seats are originally connected together."
Xu Xinghe: "?"
He looked at Ling Changfeng suspiciously, and began to wonder if he had hallucinated just now.
Marshal Ling quietly began to change the subject: "What do you want to see next?"
In the end, in order to dilute the horror atmosphere just now and adjust the theater atmosphere, Xu Xinghe chose a youthful and funny song and dance film about the school life of a group of young college students.
The whole film is full of youthful atmosphere. Under the joyful interpretation of the boys and girls, Xu Xinghe seems to have recovered from the shock just now, and even began to comment on their singing voice and dancing posture.
By the time the movie ended and the two of them returned to the Marshal's Mansion, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
After saying "good night" to each other, as usual, they went to their respective bedrooms.
Before parting, Ling Changfeng specifically asked, "Can you be alone tonight?"
Xu Xinghe had an expression of "what are you talking about?", pretending to be stupid, and said, "What can I do? I've been sleeping alone at night."
After returning to the room, Xu Xinghe quickly took a shower, then lay down on the bed, intending to fall asleep early.
I thought that I would be able to fall asleep soon after tossing so late today.
Unexpectedly, in the dead of night, when I close my eyes, the maze surrounded by black vines in the movie, the blood-red vertical eyes hidden deep in the dense forest, and the sound of screams and crying...
All of a sudden, it appeared in my mind again, lingering.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
feel a little scared.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
He obviously left a small lamp, but even under the soft light, he still felt that the night was extraordinarily dark tonight.
He tried playing some upbeat love songs, or lullabies with soothing melodies, but the effect was not great.
I also tried to put the cat on the bed to sleep with me, but it didn't work.
Tossing and turning until after two o'clock in the morning, Xu Xinghe clicked on the smartphone on his wrist, trying to find someone to chat with.
He first sent a message among the four people at Capital University: "Is anyone awake?"
Ten minutes passed with no response.
Then they turned their heads and asked Ryan which movie they watched in the end. After waiting for a while, no one responded.
Xu Xinghe stared at the electronic screen for a while, then suddenly reached out and clicked on the official mailbox, and sent an email to a frequent recipient: [Are you asleep? ]
In barely two seconds, he received a reply from Ling Changfeng: [Didn't sleep]
Xu Xinghe was stunned: [It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? ]
Ling Changfeng: [Can't sleep, how about you? ]
Xu Xinghe: [I can't sleep either, I want to chat with someone]
As soon as this email was sent out, there was no response for a long time.
Xu Xinghe waited for a while, and finally locked the screen.
Not to mention loss, just a night of insomnia alone, a little bit of fear, and a little bit of loneliness.
Ling Changfeng may still be working, or may have fallen asleep, anyway, he has no time to chat with himself.
Xu Xinghe decided to keep some sleep aids by his side in case of emergencies.
He knew that there were probably sleeping pills in the infirmary of the Marshal's Mansion, but in the middle of the night, he was embarrassed to ask the orderly to help him find them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, the smartphone on his wrist vibrated again——
Ling Changfeng: [I'm coming]
Xu Xinghe stared at the email for a few seconds, then slowly typed a question mark: [? Where are you]
Ling Changfeng: [Outside your door]
