Chapter 1050 The Returnee's Notes 124
If she was targeting her... then she might not make it to the police station in time.
In the end, she was the only one left waiting for the elevator to drop to the first floor. When the elevator stopped on the seventh floor, Xie Ning thought to herself, "Sure enough, this thing is coming for me."
Ahead lay a seemingly endless hotel corridor, which, despite the warm lighting, still appeared eerie and sinister.
The elevator doors, which lingered on, seemed to be a silent invitation.
He was inviting himself to join the game.
As Xie Ning stepped out of the elevator, she was still wondering what kind of ghost this was. She and Ouyang Lin hadn't noticed anything unusual when they were at the hotel. Could it have come from somewhere else?
For some reason, Xie Ning suddenly remembered the ghost in blue in the dilapidated movie theater, the ghost who was talking to Ouyang Lin but whose gaze was fixed on her.
She was aware of Ouyang Lin's concerns, so when Ouyang Lin went to the cinema alone, she did not insist on going with her.
Xie Ning's footsteps were very light, and the friction sound of her shoes against the red carpet was minimal. However, in such a quiet environment, even such a tiny sound was amplified countless times.
Just as Xie Ning reached the door of her room, the door suddenly opened.
The only light in the dimly lit room was from the television, which was showing a black and white film. The warm light and shadow in the corridor intertwined with the pale light in the room, creating a third space.
"What talk of beautiful flowers, a full moon, and long life? How much sorrow lies in this vast land? The barbarian cavalry and wolves invade... In which province does the moon shine on our homeland?"
With clear and resonant pronunciation, and a tone that was either high-pitched or melodious, Xie Ning felt a little relieved when he heard the lyrics, despite the atmosphere being supposed to be terrifying.
Then the scene shifted, and Xie Ning saw Ouyang Lin surrounded by ghosts in the movie theater, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
What do you want to do?
Upon seeing the film on television, Xie Ning immediately recognized the other party's identity, as she had seen the black and white film in the cinema before.
The ghost in green slowly appeared before Xie Ning's eyes. He had changed his clothes again, and was exactly the same as the ghost in green in the movie, except that his lips were black.
Even her eye makeup was black.
"I want you to release me from this obsession."
This is exactly the same sentence I said to Ouyang Lin back then, or perhaps this sentence was meant for her from the very beginning.
Xie Ning glanced at Ouyang Lin on the screen again, took a deep breath, and said, "If you want me to get rid of your obsession, you should tell me about your past."
The ghost in green remained silent, then suddenly flashed in front of Xie Ning, took a blow from Xie Ning's sword, and then threw Xie Ning into the screen.
The ghost in blue looked at the black marks on his palm and said softly, "My past... is all in my dreams."
The images on the television flickered for a long time before slowly returning to normal. The ghost in green stood quietly in front of him, a rag doll appearing in his hand at some point. His dark costume, the pearl flowers on his head, and his makeup gradually faded away, revealing his original appearance.
Xie Ning, who had been thrown into a dream, was in a daze for a while. When she looked up, she saw a sign for a pear garden, and there were onlookers coming and going all around.
Is it an illusion?
This was the first time Xie Ning had encountered such a situation. He could only look around. If it was an illusion, it was too crude. This world had no color at all.
She should be in a black and white film, but even if she is in a black and white film, it doesn't make sense, since it's a traditional opera. The environment here looks like a real scene, but the people around her are dressed like they are from the Republican era.
I just don't know which year it was.
Xie Ning had only taken a few steps when she realized that her range of movement was limited; centered on the rickshaw next to her, she could only walk about five meters.
"Sir, where are we going?"
A boy who looked to be about ten years old ran over. Xie Ning looked in the direction of the sound and then saw the young man in the rickshaw. He was probably in his early twenties, wearing a gray long gown, and his hair was styled with hair oil and neatly combed.
"Return to Chunhua Academy."
Aren't you going to continue listening?
"Do you find this interesting?"
The boy scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "That's interesting, but his singing isn't as good as yours."
Xie Ning only glanced at it before turning her head away. She was still thinking about how to overcome the restriction on her movement, but unexpectedly, as soon as the rickshaw left, she was forced to move as well.
As if an invisible barrier was pushing her forward, Xie Ning had no choice but to catch up with the rickshaw. She also realized that the people around her seemed to be unable to see her.
Her body is "empty" here.
It wasn't until they reached Chunhua Courtyard that Xie Ning learned the young man's surname, Lan, from the rickshaw driver.
However, their names are unknown.
They knew the boy's name was A Luo, and as soon as he entered Chunhua Courtyard, he called out, "Xi'er! Xi'er!"
However, no one came out after calling several times, so he muttered, "Sir, that Xi'er must be hiding somewhere slacking off. He's not practicing his skills. You should punish him properly this time!"
