Views:

Matthew thought it was all too absurd, even for Renly, it was too outrageous, like a fantasy. But, this is Renly, isn't it? In the light of the cloud and the wind, there is a power that is earth-shattering.

"Sir, the nails are all set." Jose's slightly trembling voice interrupted Matthew's thoughts, he raised his head and raised his chin slightly, "You keep hitting different positions with the hammer, pretending Continuing to nail the nails."

Jose's hands trembled uncontrollably. It's one thing to bury a corpse, but it's another thing to imprison a living person in a coffin. Now it's not over yet? He felt that his brain was not enough, "What... what do you mean?"

Matthew had to explain, "Pretend to have nails in other parts and hit them with a hammer, but you don't need to use real nails."

Although Matthew didn't understand why Renly did this, he understood Renly's personality, and once he made up his mind, no one could change it, no one. So, he planned to lend a hand to help Renly, to make the "buried alive" atmosphere more real, and to create the illusion that they were really going to crucify the coffin.

When Jose understood, he was a little relieved, so he picked up the hammer and started to beat again, but it didn't take long before he could hear the muffled thumping sound from the coffin, which surprised Jose. Legs can't help but go soft - any time you hear a sound coming from the coffin, it's the rhythm of a horror movie. But then he reacted, and there was a big living person lying inside, and it was strange that there was no movement.

But even so, the fear in his heart has not diminished too much.

The movement in the coffin is getting bigger and bigger, the dull struggle and pain are isolated by the thick coffin, and only some movement can be vaguely heard, but it is precisely this suppressed resistance that makes people feel weak. I became more and more frightened, and it seemed that I could truly feel the despair of being buried alive, and every inch of my soul began to suffer.

Jose couldn't continue to watch it any longer. He felt that he was killing a living life with his own hands. Not only was his hands covered in blood, but he was cruelly watching from the sidelines. He couldn't help turning his head and looking for help. Matthew, asked silently, "Can we stop? Are we really going to continue? Are you sure he'll be fine? I think things are starting to get out of hand, or should we stop here?"

The struggle in the coffin became more and more intense, and the dull sound of "dong dong" echoed in the chest like thunder, and Jose could hardly bear it any longer. "Please?" He couldn't help but finally When he opened his mouth, the weak voice concealed infinite fear and bitter pleading.

Unfortunately, Jose didn't get any response, and Matthew still stood upright and determined, motionless.

Jose couldn't stand still anymore, walked to the side and fell down. He was paralyzed on the chair, his face was pale, and his slightly curly hair was completely soaked in sweat, as if he had just been salvaged from the water, his eyes were dull. Looking at the coffin in front of me, the struggle inside seems to be getting weaker and weaker. Does this mean...

Do not think too much.

Matthew's stomach was turning upside down, and the nervousness made him almost want to vomit, but he had to cut off the endless imagination in his mind and tell himself that the only thing he needed to do was to trust Renly, which was exactly what he most wanted. Good at it, isn't it

When I was still at the University of Cambridge, in order to ensure the safety of students, the campus was prohibited from passing any motor vehicles. That afternoon, on a whim, Renly swooped into the campus on his motorcycle, a scene that terrified everyone—not to mention anyone else, not even Matthew in the back seat of the motorcycle His heart skipped a beat, and then the security guard rode his bike behind him while chasing and berating him, but Renly had no intention of stopping at all. It fell behind the motorcycle like a tail that couldn't be shaken off, making the whole campus uneasy.

Afterwards, Matthew originally thought that neither Renly nor him could escape punishment, and the Dean would definitely be furious. But he didn't expect that Renly told the dean that he was ill and had a heart attack and needed to go to the school hospital to rest immediately. In a desperate situation, he rode a motorcycle into the campus. He knew that this was the last resort, just to save People are eager to do it.

Matthew still remembers the innocent expression on Renly's face and said, "Again, I deeply apologize. I hope the dean will allow me to go to the church to repent, and punish me to go to the library to sort books for a month, so as to Come and warn all the students, even if you want to save people, you can't ride a motor vehicle through the campus." The dean stood opposite and was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Of course, there is also himself. While stunned on the spot, he had to use his suffocating acting skills to show his "heartache". He felt that the dean must have seen through him, but later the school doctor confirmed that he did have arrhythmia and needed to rest. Even the dean can only be dumb to eat coptis.

The stunned appearance of the Dean appeared in his mind at that time, Matthew couldn't hold back, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

The passage of time is a kind of torture, and Matthew watched everything, from the fierce struggle to the exhaustion that gradually calmed down, to the hard blow of accumulating strength, and then to the desperation of the heart, everything was destroyed. Hidden in that small coffin, it was like a pile of tons of gunpowder, and it would burst open at any time, blowing everything to smithereens.

Matthew had to close his eyes and couldn't bear to continue watching. This was too cruel. Several times he almost couldn't restrain his impulse and stepped forward to open the lid of the coffin to end all this pain. It was like witnessing the death of a rabbit with his own eyes. Instead of watching it struggling but unable to take its last breath, it is better to cut through the mess and end its torture.

But he knew he couldn't.

The passage of time began to be their torture, so was he, so was Jose, so was the Martin family on the other end of the phone—five hours later, they couldn't hold back, and they came to the store in person to watch the scene. The live-broadcast torture lasted for less than 30 minutes before they fled and refused to stay in this room any longer.

Rodrigo lowered his eyes unbearably, "Matthew, let's end, let's end this absurd experience."

He arrived here three hours after the start of the experience, fidgeting on the sidelines, thinking that he would marvel, enjoy, think, because this is the real script of "Buried Alive", and their reaction is that the movie is released Looking forward to the audience's reaction. However, he couldn't keep watching.

"I don't care about this movie anymore. Even with Renly's original strength, he can definitely play this role well. We don't need to go on like this anymore, let's end, let's end this inhuman torture." Rodrigo felt He was already on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't even imagine Renly's current state. Such inhuman captivity is even more cruel than murder. "If Renly gets mad, it's my fault, and I interrupt the experience. It's just a low-budget independent film, and he really didn't have to work so hard."

Even as a director, Rodrigo's patience has reached the limit and is on the verge of collapse.

Matthew didn't answer immediately, the air was almost frozen, and even the beating of his heart was barely audible. He could hardly feel any movement in the coffin. Just imagining the potential possibility, the blood all over his body immediately froze into ice. . He can't think wildly, not even a little bit.

Turning his head and looking at Rodrigo, who was sweating profusely and looking guilty, Matthew smiled, "He's not for your movie."

Rodrigo couldn't help being stunned. It wasn't to "bury alive" the movie, what was that for

"Beep beep, beep beep..."

The sudden sound of the alarm broke the suffocating panic in the room. Matthew stepped forward, only to find that he had been standing for too long, and his muscles were too stiff to coordinate. His center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell. , but he didn't have time to take care of himself, so he just shouted at Jose, "Open the coffin! Open now!" The fierce momentum was like thunder, and everyone came back to their senses in an instant.

A group of people swarmed up, and even the people from the office outside rushed in. Matthew had to stop everyone, "Too many people, too many! Four people are enough." Four corners, four horns Hammer, that's enough.

The crowd was in a hurry again, and four people stepped forward and pulled out the nails in the four corners. Jose reached out and tried to open the lid of the coffin, but his fingers touched the wood of the coffin, but he shrank back like a hot hand, he didn't dare.

Matthew's thighs were completely numb, and he seemed to be embarrassed with his deep and shallow steps, but he still stepped forward in three steps, holding the cover tightly with both hands, paused for a moment, and then panicked and Before the fear overwhelmed himself, he lifted the lid in one go.

Empty, empty. There were only two empty holes left in Ren Li's deep and agile eyes, as if a black hole absorbed all the light, swallowing up vitality and hope.

The sweat on his head was full of stains, his pale cheeks were bloodless, his hands were swollen, the blood on his fingertips had dried up and solidified, the black T-shirt was completely soaked, and it could be clearly seen that there was nothing on his chest. The ups and downs were as quiet as a cemetery at midnight.

Fear firmly grasped Matthew's heart, and his eyes were splitting, "Renly? Renly! Jesus Christ! Renly! Wake up, please, wake up!" The endless fear seemed to be in free fall, Unable to use any force, he could only struggle in a woeful manner, but in vain.

"Drink." Renly suddenly gasped and sat up, like a vampire who had borrowed a corpse to revive his soul.
