When Bai Qiquan saw the picture appearing on the big screen in the screening room, he took a deep breath.

Because this is a scene from The Wailing!

For a moment, the cold and eerie feeling of the hospital, the air mixed with disinfectant, and the faint cry of a baby lingered around Bai Qiquan.

I'm back, I'm all back. On this day, Bai Qiquan finally recalled the fear that he was under the control of the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and the humiliation of not even daring to walk back to the dormitory at night.

But since he had seen this movie several times, he still had some patience.

No matter how scary a scene is, if you have watched it several times and can recite the subsequent plot with your eyes closed, then there is nothing to be afraid of!

The unknown is the most terrifying!

For horror works where you already know the route, all you have to do is change the map and play the game in a different way.

Just like some of the games that Bai Qiquan played, some games would provide small maps and large maps for players, for fear that players would not be able to find the way. However, in some games, let alone large maps, there were not even small maps. Players had no sense of security when walking on the road, not knowing whether they would suddenly walk into a dead end, fall off a cliff, run into a pile of monsters, or be hit and killed by a train on the tracks.

Bai Qiquan now is like an old player who has played those games thousands of times that hide the malicious intentions of the producers. Everyone on this street has killed me, and I am already very familiar with the routines of the short film.

He subconsciously looked around.

The other interviewees all had livid faces, their eyes fixed on the screen, unable to look away. Only fear emanated from their pupils. Their hands tightly grasped the handrails, their legs pressed hard on the ground, their whole bodies tensed, like dead grasshoppers.

“So this is the expression I have when I watch a movie.”

Bai Qiquan had some understanding. He stroked the armrest and suddenly found that the originally brand new armrest already had deep fingerprints.

During this period of time, I don't know how many interviewees have sat here, feeling the fear dominated by Lu Ban's horror movies, and left this mark.

When he thought of this, Bai Qiquan suddenly felt it was quite exciting.

Is this the mentality of horror movie creators?

Realizing something, Bai Qiquan suddenly looked at Lu Ban who was sitting in front of him.

With the help of the light from the movie, Bai Qiquan could see Lu Ban in the dark corner, watching them quietly, like a calm and understanding killer observing his target.

Just the look in Lu Ban's eyes made Bai Qiquan suddenly feel cold. He quickly turned his eyes away and continued to look at the screen.

In comparison, the movie clips don't seem so scary.

After more than ten minutes of screening, the theater was silent.

Bai Qiquan saw that everyone around him was trembling, with bloodshot eyes, like office workers who had not slept well for a long time, or like security guards standing guard at a crematorium.

He thought about it and pretended to be scared.

He saw Lu Ban stand up, walk in front of the few people and take a look.

"It looks like no one is qualified."

He said this to himself and waved his hand again.

"Can you still stand up?"

Several people stood up tremblingly and walked out of the screening room under the leadership of Lu Ban.

There seemed to be no more interviews after them, and the office was empty****.

Bai Qiquan pretended to be frightened and tried hard to recall how he had behaved when he was frightened by a movie before.

Although he came here for an interview, it now seems that staying here might be more terrifying.

Several people walked to the stairs and went down one by one. When they arrived at Bai Qiquan's place, Lu Ban suddenly called him.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Qiquan's body suddenly stiffened and his heart beat faster than when he was watching a horror movie.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

He turned his head and gave a forced smile.

"You weren't scared just now, were you?"

Lu Ban said in a deep voice.

"!"

The hair on Bai Qiquan's head stood up. He was truly frightened. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Lu Ban, not daring to breathe.

Lu Ban came closer step by step. Bai Qiquan felt more and more uneasy when he heard his footsteps.

"Should I admit it? Or deny it?"

"What is he going to do?"

"I haven't deleted all the movies from my computer hard drive yet. If I'm discovered, won't I be socially dead?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Bai Qiquan's mind, and then he saw Lu Ban coming up to him and patting his shoulder.

"You passed the interview."

…

"So you've had the interview?"

In the school cafeteria, Bai Qiquan and his girlfriend Pang Zhen were having dinner.

"Yes, and then he asked me to stay in the office for the whole afternoon. I took the high-speed train back this morning and packed my things so I can go there for internship. I can start working after I get my diploma."

Bai Qiquan explained casually while picking at the rice on his plate.

"So what did you do this afternoon? Did you see his new movie?"

Compared to her boyfriend finding a job, Pang Zhen seems more interested in Lu Ban's new movie.

"How is that possible? I just sat at my workstation for the entire afternoon. Uh, it's actually a bit strange."

Bai Qiquan said as he recalled.

"There are only him and me in the office, but his eyes always glance at the workstation next to me, as if there is someone there. Sometimes Director Lu also talks to himself as if he is talking to someone. It's quite strange."

"Is this some kind of second-round interview test? Like the boss testing you by sweeping the floor? Did you say anything?"

Pang Zhen leaned closer and asked.

"How is that possible? He works there himself. He just showed me the contract and some other things I didn't understand."

Bai Qiquan scooped up the last bit of rice with a spoon, put it into his mouth, and recalled while chewing.

"What?"

"I don't have much impression. There seem to be photos of wolves, some people in armor, shadows and so on. Mainly, I don't know what the meaning of these photos is."

Bai Qiquan put down the plate and spoon.

"What about the salary?"

Pang Zhen asked again.

"The salary is very high! I checked and found that my internship salary is the same as that of a veteran who has worked for several years."

Bai Qiquan was quite satisfied with his salary. His classmates who graduated in the same year only earned a few thousand yuan a month doing odd jobs on the crew, but he earned more than 20,000 yuan after graduation. Moreover, Lu Ban said that he would be provided with food and accommodation, which was simply too good to be true.

As long as you live frugally, you can pay the down payment for a house in Jiangcheng in just five or six years!

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt sad again.

“I’m so envious…”

Pang Zhen couldn't help but say.

"Would you like to go for an interview as well?"

Bai Qiquan said casually.

"I'm not going. Who wants to work with someone who's crazy and likes to make disgusting movies... Uh, I'm not talking about you."

"No, although Director Lu looks weird, he is actually a good person. He even sent me a message today saying that he has found a dormitory for me and asked me to go and check it out when I have time."

Bai Qiquan opened WeChat and showed his girlfriend the photos of the dormitory that Lu Ban sent him today.

Pang Zhen took the phone and saw that it was a very secluded neighborhood. The house was also well-renovated, with two bedrooms and a living room, and was very spacious.

However, when she looked at the photo carefully, she always felt that something was wrong.

"Look, why is there a person hiding behind the curtain here?"

She pointed to the photo of the living room window, above the drawn, gathered curtains.

Bai Qiquan turned it over and over and looked at it carefully, only to find that there seemed to be something on it.

That was... a human face.
