Adventure
After all, Shang Jingyan is very famous, so in order to avoid being recognized, he wears a mask and glasses when going out.
She put on her headphones, and a message popped up on her brain: Manager Pei: [Where are you now? I plan to make you some nourishing porridge, which can be delivered.]
When Shang Jingyan was in the hospital before, Pei Yi said that he would cook some meals for patients for her, but Shang Jingyan was discharged too quickly and didn't get to eat them.
In the next few days, Shang Jingyan still ate at the show crew. Thinking of this, she felt a little greedy and said, "I am preparing to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit."
Pei Yi replied immediately: [I’m also quite close to the hospital [Angora rabbit rests his chin], then I’ll go directly to the hospital to find you~]
【OK.】Shang Jingyan agreed straightforwardly.
The train is moving, the pointer is heading towards zero, and it is almost time for the show to start.
Shang Jingyan adjusted the screen. The passerby next to the seat seemed to have been observing for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but come over and said in a very cool way: "Hello, are you going to watch Director Shang's "Infinite Heartbeat"? I love this TV series!"
Shang Jingyan was not averse to communicating with strangers. He was bored and moved the projection screen: "Yes, do you want to watch it together?"
The passerby was startled, thinking that the voice of the young man next to him sounded familiar, and stole a glance at her.
There was light snow falling outside the train window, and the sky was a dreamy rich blue-purple color, allowing the glass window to clearly reflect Shang Jingyan's profile.
Her long eyelashes were raised under her sunglasses, revealing a pair of jewel-like green eyes, and her silver hair was under the brim of her hat.
Passersby's heartbeat quickened, thinking, no way, did she meet Director Shang? !
Judging from the IP, Director Shang is indeed still in the purple mist...
Miss Passerby's mind was filled with all kinds of speculations, but soon she had no time to think about them.
The Forest Singer begins.
After the first episode, Lan Qing felt something was wrong when she heard that two strangers were imprisoned, and she hurried to find out where they were being held.
The villagers told her that there was only one prison in the entire village, located in the northwest.
Stealing is a serious crime under the village's laws. The two criminals will be imprisoned for five months and will be paraded through the streets in cages tomorrow.
As it was getting dark, the villagers carefully reminded:
"There are monsters in our town every Sunday night. Don't stay outside between 8 am and 5 am, or you will be captured by the monsters."
The early stage of each copy is a process of gradually releasing information points, and this setting is remembered by the audience.
[I really want to complain, do you guys have the concept of "monster"? I thought you guys were all used to fish growing frog legs.]
【Every Sunday...Why Sunday?】
Lan Qing checked the calendar and found that she arrived at the trial field on Friday. She said goodbye to the villagers and went to the town to rent a hotel. The copy was kind enough to put some coins in her brave costume bag, but not much.
If she stayed in the village for too long, she would face very realistic funding issues in this copy.
For veterans of the trial field, it is best not to act at night. On the first night, Lan Qing had a good sleep to recuperate. The next day, she came to the prison and visited the two strangers, but was disappointed to find that they were not General Hua and Dr. Liang, but two other unfamiliar trial participants.
They desperately asked Lan Qing for help, but after playing this survival game for so long, Lan Qing no longer had any excessive kindness.
She decided to stay in the village and observe for the time being, and wait until the two trial-takers were "paraded through the streets" to see if there was any chance to save them.
Following Lan Qing's perspective, the whole picture of this small village is also presented to the audience. The geographical location here is closed and remote, not bordering on big towns, and it is self-contained.
Along the way, Lan Qing saw hounds with horse heads, their heads had cracks like starfish and their tongues poking out; chickens, ducks and geese with dozens of wings and legs, so bloated that they couldn't move and could only be kept in front of food bowls; berries as big as tumors, with bees and butterflies buzzing around them...
It was like a freak exhibition, and those commenting on the comments said they couldn't eat after seeing this.
But the villagers treat them with a very normal attitude. They even draw prayer gestures on their chests and praise the gods for the "harvest" they have brought them. Their seemingly peaceful daily life is full of distortion and madness.
While Lan Qing was gathering information, he found out that the villagers also lacked understanding of big towns, making it impossible to infer the level of civilization in this copy world.
She only knew that the villagers had believed in the "Forest God", also known as the "Forest Song God", for generations. This god was in charge of the power of the forest, blessed their harvest and provided them with food.
Moreover, the Sunday mentioned by the village woman as "the day when monsters will appear" is also Sunday, and the villagers will gather in church to worship on this day.
There is only one church in the village, located in the southeast corner, which is symmetrical with the prison in terms of geographical location.
The statue in the church is the forest singing god, who has a female appearance, a kind and gentle face, pointed ears like an elf, and holds an empty plate in her hand.
According to villagers, this statue symbolizes the legend that the god of song voluntarily shared his flesh and blood with the creatures in distress.
[Ever since Light Years, I feel creepy when I look at statues of gods. Sharing flesh and blood with believers feels so weird.]
[This legend sounds so strange. God gave flesh and blood to the forest... In many civilizations, forest authority represents "vitality" and "life". Could it be that the random interbreeding and growth of animals in the village is the great achievement of "God"?]
This is a very smooth speculation, and Lan Qing also thought of it.
She carefully observed outside the church but did not go in. At this moment, she met the first trial-taker since the beginning of this copy.
The trial-taker was also a young man who seemed to have only experienced one world. He was panic-stricken and at a loss. As soon as he heard Lan Qing speak, he recognized him as a "fellow villager", and the two of them formed a temporary team.
As night was approaching and remembering the villagers' warnings about Sunday night, the two returned to the hotel early.
The hotel in the town was simple and had limited conditions. Lan Qing and the trial-taker stayed in a room, but there was also an old woman with a headscarf in the room.
The two men didn't notice her presence at first. When they checked the sanitary conditions of the toilet, the old woman suddenly appeared in the mirror!
The trial participant immediately screamed in fear. The old woman's body was hunched like a shrimp, as if she was about to merge into the darkness. She let out a strange, raven-like laugh:
"Hehe...outsider."
"Remember, no matter what the situation is, do not open the door and do not answer it."
The content of the previous episode stopped here, and the commentators were quite shocked.
[Oh my god, it's scarier than a ghost... Is this character a human or a ghost? ]
[Is it really possible to stay in the hotel? Baby Lanqing, why don’t you just pay extra for a single room like before? QAQ]
When the opening song ended and the darkness dissipated, Lan Qing's figure appeared on the projection screen, bringing the audience back into that strange world.
"What do you mean?" she immediately asked the old woman, but she just laughed strangely and said nothing.
On the first night of the evil, neither Lan Qing nor the trial participant could sleep peacefully. But the old woman curled up on the bed and fell asleep alone.
The outside of the window was engulfed in darkness, and at first nothing unusual happened.
The passerby lady sitting next to Shang Jingyan felt that her senses had become sharper. She could hear the subtle sound of wind and the rubbing of leaves in her headphones...
I couldn't help but become suspicious, wondering if someone was approaching outside.
It rained heavily at night, and the rain covered the sky. The camera was focused on the pendulum on the wall. Suddenly, at midnight, something strange happened.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door outside the window!
The trial-taker suddenly woke up, his eyes wide open, no longer sleepy.
“Is…anyone…home…?”
The voice outside the window was old and hoarse, like a rusty machine, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. Moreover, the speed of speech was extremely slow, almost jumping out word by word.
Lan Qing and the trial-taker both remembered the villagers' words and did not answer.
They stared at each other in the darkness, with only a flickering candle flame.
[How scary! Someone just knocked on my door! ! ]
[Help me, I'm scared, barrage of bullets to protect me! ]
[Ahhh, they live on the second floor, and there's nothing outside the window, how could someone knock on the window?! ]
[…I hadn’t noticed it at first, but when you said that I was so scared that I flew away!!]
The trial-taker also realized this and stiffened visibly.
"Is anyone...home...? Let me...stay...for...one night..."
Seeing no one responding, the voice changed strangely, from the indistinguishable androgynous voice of the first sentence to an old female voice with an unexpectedly kind tone, as if people could associate it with an old man.
The trial-taker didn't even dare to breathe, and the passerby on the train could hardly breathe.
After a moment, the voice changed again: "Is anyone home?"
This time it was a deep male voice, which knocked against the window so hard that the glass made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.
"Hurry up and let me in, help! I finally climbed to the second floor and there is a monster outside! Open the door! Help me!"
The man's voice was trembling and full of fear, and he banged on the windows.
The trial participant was stunned and hesitated: "...This?"
She had not yet fully realized the horror of the world of the trial field and was clearly soft-hearted.
Lan Qing said, "Listen carefully to the direction of the sound of it tapping the window - this thing has three hands."
As soon as she finished speaking, the noise outside suddenly fell silent.
[Ahhhhhhhhhh, really! I can hear it! ]
[If it were me, I would have opened the door by now... SOS! ]
The passerby lady gasped and almost screamed out in public on the train.
The other trial participant opened his eyes wide in fear and his fingers trembled in fear.
It wasn't the humans being chased by the monsters calling for help, it was the monsters imitating humans! It could even understand the conversations of the people inside, showing a very strong intelligence!
After a long while, a middle-aged woman's voice was heard again outside.
It "politely" knocked on the door with one hand and said softly: "Is anyone home? It's raining heavily outside, can you let me in to take shelter?"
It's creepy, it's like it's imitating and learning how to be more human, and the learning progress is amazing.
Dongdong, Dongdong...
The rain was pouring down, water splashing everywhere, and every once in a while, there would be a knock on the door.
The monster's words also switched repeatedly, with the crisp and playful voice of a little girl, the voice of a silly boy, and the voice of a middle-aged man with a cough...
It even imitated the characteristics and details of the voices, such as their personalities and states. They were either asking for a place to stay or asking if they could go in to avoid the rain.
The tester bit his lower lip tightly. The monster seemed to know that the people here would not open the door, and finally gave up hope. The sound did not come again for a long time.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside seemed to brighten a little. It was already five o'clock in the morning.
Just then, a young female voice came from outside the window, and the trial-taker suddenly stopped.
"Xiao Lin, open the door quickly, the villagers inside are monsters!"
She said incredulously: "Is this... the voice of my teammate!?"
[??? What the hell? This monster's IQ is too high, how can it lie like this? ]
[Oh my god, this is even weirder!! My hair stood on end when I heard this! ]
"I located you through our props. I searched for a whole night and finally found you."
"Don't be fooled by them, come out quickly, we can't stay in this village, we have to leave quickly, it will be too late by daybreak!"
Miss Passerby finally couldn't hold back this time and let out a small scream, with hairs on her back. The comments were also in disarray, with greetings and exclamation marks madly being posted.
[? ? I can’t tell either… What if, what this voice says is true? ]
[Help, this is even more terrifying, Lan Qing has been staying with ghosts? ]
The monster's actions can be described as a psychological attack. Which side is real, inside or outside the door?
Lian Lan Qing paused and clenched his weapon in confusion.
The other participant was getting more and more shaken, and she couldn't help but answer. The words outside the window made her more convinced. Unconsciously, she had walked to the window.
"hehe……"
The village woman woke up at some point and laughed out of nowhere.
The trial-taker was startled. Under the dim candlelight, the villager's skinny and wrinkled face looked like a triangular fox, weird and scary.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she grabbed the door handle and said to the voice, "I...I can't open the window, but I can come out through the door!"
Lan Qing had a bad feeling in his heart and grabbed her wrist: "Wait a minute, ask her a few questions first, and make sure she is your teammate before leaving!"
But at the same time, there were sounds like a struggle outside the window, as well as a woman's cry of pain - in this situation, "she" or "it" would definitely not answer.
The trialist threw Lan Qing away, with a pale look of determination on his face: "Even if it's not, then this monster must have met my teammates... I want to go see what's going on!"
Lan Qing was unable to stop her and watched her run out the door. It was already close to six o'clock. The villager was in a strange state. He stared at Lan Qing without saying a word and only sighed: "Poor thing, poor thing."
[Don't go out! It's too dangerous! ]
[Ask yourself, if it was General Hua or Dr. Liang’s voice, I don’t think Lan Qing would be able to remain calm either…]
Miss Passerby couldn't help but like the second comment, and the next scene was exactly what she feared, the door of the room was knocked.
——It was not the window just now, but the door.
General Hua's steady voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"
Lan Qing suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Miss Passerby was worried, but was disappointed to find that the episode was over. The entire episode was in the room, with only one scene, but she didn't get distracted or feel bored at all.
She stretched her arms, and in the winter, her palms were already sweaty, because she was nervous. But when she turned her head, she found that the young man next to her didn't seem to be scared at all, and calmly put away the screen.
Looking back, she remained calm throughout the entire viewing process, only coughing occasionally with a slight nasal sound.
So brave...
The passerby lady muttered something in her heart, unable to hide her curiosity, but the young man had already arrived at the station. He curled his eyes at her and got off the bus and left.
Not more, not less, just enough time to finish one episode.
She turned on her light brain and wanted to share her adventure tonight with her friends - watching a horror movie with a stranger on a train in the early morning, and this person looked a lot like Director Shang.
Just as she was thinking, she was stunned when she touched the handrail and peeled off a piece of paper from it.
The three characters "Shang Jingyan" were signed in a flamboyant style on it, with a small smiley face drawn on the back.
Miss Passerby: “!!”
Next to the hospital.
Shang Jingyan took off his headphones, looked around, and saw Pei Yi carrying a lunch box, so he hurried over.
But after taking two steps, she seemed to sense something and instinctively turned her head to see another familiar figure - Hua Feitian. The latter was wandering around the hospital entrance, not knowing what she was doing.
Shang Jingyan: “?”
This is such a coincidence, why is Hua Feitian here too?
