8 Movie 08‖ Weird

Lin Haichen stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Yan Shuang stared at the faint light of the kerosene lamp on the table, lost in thought, in a daze.

Jing Ning sat next to him and leaned against him and asked him, "What are you thinking about?"

Yan Shuang came back to her senses, raised her head and glanced at Jing Ning, then slowly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and replied softly: "I was thinking... I escaped a disaster again today."

At this time, they were the only two people left in the living room, and the firelight made their shadows long and thin.

"If something happened to me today, would I die too?" Yan Shuang said.

"No." Jing Ning said firmly.

Yan Shuang: "Why?"

"Because..." Jing Ning suddenly smiled, "I'm here." After saying that, seeing that Yan Shuang's face had no expression, he put away his smile and continued, "And you are also very capable. It is foolish to blindly rely on others and trust others here."

"Can I trust you?" Yan Shuang asked.

Jing Ning gave a meaningful smile and turned to walk upstairs.

He didn't know why, but he believed it. He always felt that Jing Ning was more trustworthy than anyone else.

Yan Shuang glanced at the weather outside through the window and said to himself, "I wonder if anything will happen tonight."

Fortunately, nothing happened during the night, and when Yan Shuang opened her eyes it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

"I'm hungry." Jing Ning, who was lying beside him, said in a daze.

Yan Shuang also felt a little hungry. When they came back last night, they were not in the mood to eat.

Just as he was about to turn over, he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and the pain made him grimace.

"What's wrong?" Jing Ning heard the noise, opened his eyes and asked with concern.

Yan Shuang pinched her shoulder and moved it slowly. When the pain subsided a little, she said, "Maybe I bumped into it when I was lifting the tree yesterday."

"I'm not feeling well." Jing Ning joked.

"Yeah." Yan Shuang didn't refute. "I work overtime every day and am exhausted. Now I even miss those peaceful days."

"Don't be nostalgic." Jing Ning said mercilessly while putting on his clothes, "You can still enjoy it after the game is released."

Yan Shuang's eyes darkened, and she spoke with such viciousness, "I hate going to work!!!"

When the two of them went downstairs, the others were already sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast. Yan Shuang looked around and found that the number of people had not decreased. Even the man who had been unconscious yesterday was awake today and sitting at the table.

Jing Ning sat directly opposite the man.

Yan Shuang followed closely behind.

"Nothing happened last night, right?" Yan Shuang asked.

"No." Lin Haichen said.

Yan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to drink the bland porridge.

The heat from the food will warm your whole body and dispel the chill of the night.

Xiao Zhang obviously did not sleep well, with dark circles under his eyes. He was not interested in food and did not even touch the bowl in front of him.

On the contrary, the man next to him seemed extremely hungry and kept stuffing food into his mouth.

"What is he doing?" Yan Shuang muttered softly.

Jing Ning took a moment out of his busy schedule to glance at the man, who said to Jing Ning, "Eat your meal."

"Oh." Yan Shuang responded.

The man finished his own bowl, but he was still not satisfied. He looked around and finally landed on Xiao Zhang's bowl. He asked, "If you don't want to eat it, can you give it to me?"

Before Xiao Zhang could speak, the man picked up Xiao Zhang's bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls, as if he was not asking for Xiao Zhang's consent.

Several people put down the food in their hands and looked at the man in silence.

"What? Are you all done eating?" The man didn't care about the looks of others. He had rice in his mouth and said vaguely, "Can you give me the leftovers? I'm so hungry! I can never feel full."

After saying that, he swept away the remaining food on the table, even the soup, and poured it all into his own bowl.

Now everyone noticed something was wrong with the man. After all, no matter how big a eater a person was, there was no way he could eat the amount of food six people could eat in one sitting. Furthermore, the man looked thin and didn't look like someone who would overeat.

Unless... there's something weird!

After the man devoured all the food on the table in a flash, he leaned back in his chair contentedly and fell into a deep sleep, snoring.

His once flat abdomen was now bulging, as if he was several months pregnant. The pinch mark on his neck, which had been a deep purple yesterday, had now turned completely black, looking shocking.

Jing Ning looked at the man as if he were a dead person, his eyes cold and indifferent. He slowly stood up and said, "Everyone, sit on the sofa and stay away from him."

Everyone obeyed the order, quickly left the man, and gathered on the sofa in the living room to sit down.

Lin Haichen's expression was serious and he asked in a stern voice: "Xiao Zhang, was there anything unusual in your room last night?" He had to find out as soon as possible to avoid more fatal conditions.

Xiao Zhang also realized the seriousness of the matter. He took a deep breath and began to describe what happened last night.

"After I returned, I followed Brother Jingning's instructions and closed the windows tightly. I also didn't turn on the lights. I was so scared that the ghost would find me wherever I hid. There was no place to hide in the room, so I found a corner farthest away from Zhang Kai."

Only then did they know that the man's name was Zhang Kai.

Xiao Zhang continued, "Zhang Kai just slept on the bed. There was no light in the room, so I couldn't see what was going on with him. But Zhang Kai didn't snore last night."

"Did he snore when he slept before?" Yan Shuang asked.

Xiao Zhang nodded. "It happened on the first night I arrived. It was so loud that I couldn't fall asleep until very late."

"Doctor Lin, will a person snore when he is in a coma?" Yan Shuang asked.

"Yes, it will. When you are in a coma, the elasticity of the upper airway muscles will decrease significantly, and the airway will narrow, which will cause snoring." Lin Haichen explained.

Xiao Zhang got goosebumps instantly. This means Zhang Kai didn’t sleep all night last night!

"Go on." Jing Ning said.

Xiao Zhang huddled up in fear and continued tremblingly, "Then I listened to the sounds around me. There was no movement in the room. I calculated that it was almost dawn, so I dared to take a nap."

"But!" Xiao Zhang's voice suddenly rose. "When I opened my eyes, Zhang Kai was standing in front of me, staring straight at me. I don't know how long he looked at me, maybe all night."

"I called him a few times, and he seemed to wake up. Then he kept saying he was hungry, so I quickly left the room. Luckily, Dr. Lin was in the living room at the time."

Xiao Zhang said this with lingering fear, rubbing his arms repeatedly, feeling as if he had escaped death.

Everyone fell silent.

"Were you... talking about me just now?" A sinister voice suddenly sounded.

Several people turned around suddenly.

Zhang Kai, who was originally sleeping, woke up at some point and stood behind the few people. No one noticed when the snoring stopped.
