Black Rabbit
Pei Yi blinked slowly—Shang Jingyan then realized that his eyelashes were very long—and asked, "Now you know, what next?"
He propped himself up on his elbows, as if wanting to get closer to Shang Jingyan, but being drunk left him with little strength, and he supported his forehead with his hand and made a "hmm" sound.
"Then..." Shang Jingyan drawled out the words. Pei Yi raised his head and stared at her with sparkling eyes.
Shang Jingyan had several ex-boyfriends in her previous life, but she has never been in a relationship since she traveled through time.
She is not actually very concerned about relationships, otherwise she would not have realized Pei Yi's attitude just now.
After thinking about it carefully, she didn't dislike Pei Yi, or rather, she had a good impression of him.
However, under the current circumstances, Shang Jingyan has no intention of talking about love.
Even if we want to talk, we have to wait until everything is settled.
So she said, "Then, I will just have to pretend to be the bad guy who doesn't know anything for the time being. Let's talk about everything after you sober up."
Shang Jingyan was so nonchalant that he didn't give any meaningful reply. Pei Yi blinked again and it took him a while to react. He drooped his shoulders in disappointment, like a rabbit with its ears drooping.
"Director Shang! We're playing turtle soup, do you want to join us?"
Someone shouted not far away.
"Coming!" Shang Jingyan answered, removed the restrictions of the system in his mind, stood up, helped Pei Yi take off his scarf and put it on the back of the chair - wearing a scarf in a warm room made him look silly, and his face turned red.
Pei Yi let her move and sat very properly, but his eyes were always following hers.
"You rest here. I'm going to go play first." Shang Jingyan could have just walked away, but she couldn't help but remind him, "Eat something. If you feel sleepy, go to sleep first. You can ask the waiter to take you to the lounge."
Pei Yi nodded obediently.
But Shang Jingyan was still worried, so he turned around and went to talk to the waiter himself.
A staff member nearby saw this and started to make a scene, saying, “Wow, Director Shang, you are biased! We also had drunk people here, why didn’t we get the treatment that the director personally asked someone to look after us!”
Shang Jingyan laughed and calmly retorted: "You are so beautiful! If you also cook for me every day, you will also get my special attention."
Everyone laughed, but no one thought there was anything wrong with what Shang Jingyan said.
Shang Jingyan rubbed the wine glass with realization - it seemed that he was indeed too slow this time. Could it be that everyone in the program team had already tacitly accepted that the two of them were in an ambiguous period?
The next day.
The "Light Years" production crew celebrated until the early morning. Those who were not drunk sent those who were drunk back to the villa. A large group of people passed through the park at night, and some people shouted and sang loudly, which was an amazing scene.
Fortunately, everyone had anticipated this situation and chose a remote route with no settlements, otherwise the residents would probably think that the zombies in "Pink Coming" had escaped.
Shang Jingyan drank relatively moderately. He washed up while conscious before going to bed, but still slept until noon.
She forgot to draw the curtains and was awakened by the winter sun. X71 greeted her energetically: [Good morning, Yanyan! What did Pei Yi say to you last night? Why did he send you a message so early in the morning? ]
X71 has a strong sense of being a housekeeper. Ever since he was able to access the real star network, he has taken over the built-in AI in Shang Jingyan's optical computer and has been diligently helping her classify and manage messages.
Shang Jingyan paid attention to it for a few days and gradually gave it more control.
She raised her wrist, and messages popped up on her computer.
Manager Pei: [Good morning.]
Manager Pei: [Director Shang, I didn’t behave strangely after I got drunk yesterday, right?]
Shang Jingyan: “…Puff.”
She was amused. The first message was sent at six in the morning, and the next one was sent an entire hour later. Obviously, this was the time Pei Yi was worried about.
Shang Jingyan could sense his cautiousness through the light screen, as if he saw an Angora rabbit standing nervously with its hands in its pockets.
She deliberately scared him: [What do you think? ]
The message [Inputting...] appeared on the other end for one second, but Shang Jingyan waited for three minutes and there was no response.
【You told me one of your secrets. 】
Shang Jingyan said slowly, "I'll keep it for you first."
The message came immediately: [What kind of secret? [Bunny looks horrified] Did I reveal my own embarrassing story? ]
Shang Jingyan teased him in a rather vicious way: [You told me your account payment password, are you afraid? ]
Unexpectedly, the other party replied without thinking: [What's the matter? You can use it as you like. ]
Shang Jingyan's eyebrows twitched. Did Pei Yi remember it or not? What kind of relationship would allow her to touch money at will?
On the other side, in the restaurant hotel room, Pei Yi realized that his words were inappropriate after he finished speaking, and tried to make amends: [After all, I believe in Director Shang's investment vision [Angora rabbit thumbs up], if I use my money to invest, I will definitely make ten times the money back. ]
He covered his face in annoyance. What was he talking about?
Pei Yi really didn't remember what he said after drinking, but he vaguely remembered that Shang Jingyan rejected him on some issue.
Did she reject his confession? ... Was he brave enough to confess?
He didn't know if he could hide this excuse, and stared at the screen anxiously.
Pei Yi's note for Shang Jingyan was an emoji of a wild goose. The Q-version icon had its head tilted, and looked very cute.
At this moment, this cute icon sent him an emoticon, which was a rabbit with its hands folded and saying "hmm" very proudly.
Rabbit is a new emoticon that has never appeared in their previous chats. The breed should also be Angora rabbit, and it looks like... it is a perfect match with his white rabbit.
Pei Yi looked up unconsciously and saw his expression reflected on the smooth oven in the kitchen. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Pei Yi: “…”
You must not be fully sober yet. Don't drink too much anymore!
He secretly took a screenshot of the conversation and saved it in his photo album. He tried to put on a straight face, but his expression looked stiff and unfriendly, so he adjusted it back to his usual gentle expression.
Pei Yi baked a whole box of cookies to calm himself down, then sat back on the sofa and turned on the projection screen.
Half a day ago, at midnight, "Pink Is Coming" was broadcast, but he hasn't watched it yet.
On the other side, some people were just watching "Pink" live.
"I was scared before because I watched it in the middle of the night. This time it's at noon, I don't believe I will still howl like a ghost!" Lu Zibing said loudly and clicked the play button nonchalantly.
【233 It turns out that you, the anchor, know that it was a ghostly howl when you watched it. But this time I watched the spoiler-free video and said that "Pink" is not as scary as the previous ghost movies? 】
[Who said it's not scary? It's because everyone's fear level is different. I wasn't scared of horror movies before, but this one really scared me to death! ]
Amid the lively banter in the barrage, the production information at the beginning ended, the main film halo cut in, and the movie began.
The first thing that hits the audience's senses is a very dynamic piece of electronic music and a voice humming a song.
A hand wearing a bracelet and several rings appeared in the camera. On one side of the car's light screen was a cool music MV, and on the other side of the split screen was a video call. There was a young girl with black hair and black eyes in the picture.
The camera moves again, and the driver's full appearance comes into view.
She is very young, looks no more than 20 years old, has lake blue eyes, her hair is dyed indigo and of irregular length, she has large tattoos on her body, and several earrings and studs hanging from her ears - she is the daughter in the trailer.
The hovercraft controlled by the young man was also blue in appearance, so bright that it almost seemed to be burning, and it was speeding on the aerial lane at a speed close to the critical point of speeding.
"Qiao Ze, are you sure your mother won't scold you for this?"
A friend on the phone asked worriedly, "What about the teacher..."
Qiao Ze, the blue-haired girl who was driving, was smoking a cigarette and said in a lazy and ruffian tone, "She can scold me, but can she chase me away?"
The background of the friend in the video seems to be the library restroom. She looks like a good student, in stark contrast to the speeding Qiao Ze.
Then, from the simple conversation between the two, the audience understood Qiao Ze’s image: a rebellious daughter who is attending compulsory high school, but has a relatively good relationship with her mother.
The reason she was driving at this moment was that she had committed a crime at school and angered the teacher. The teacher summoned her parents, but Qiao Ze took the opportunity to slip away, and even planned to go directly to her mother to hide from the teacher's anger.
Being able to drive means she is an adult, but she is still in high school, which indirectly means that Qiao Ze has failed a grade.
Qiao Ze didn't even inform his mother before leaving, the main purpose was to catch her off guard.
Lu Zibing touched his chin and said, "One of Director Shang's protagonists this time has an unconventional setting."
Director Shang’s "Infinite Heartbeat" opened the way, and the protagonists of horror adventure films made by subsequent dream builders are all outstanding people like Lan Qing. After all, in the public’s perception, elites are the easiest to survive, but Qiao Ze does not seem to conform to this logic.
Qiao Ze's car drove all the way to a sparsely populated area. The road became obviously deserted. The midday sun shone brightly, making the sky and the earth look pale.
When she finally slowed down, there was no one on the road except her.
"I didn't bring anything. I'm going to stay here for a few days, so I need to buy some daily necessities."
Qiao Ze complained to his friends, "My mom's workplace is too remote, and there is only this large shopping mall."
Although it was called a large shopping mall, it looked very run-down. Qiao Ze didn't wait for his friend to reply, and looked down: "...Huh? Why is the signal cut off?"
She frowned, ignored him, opened the car door, put her hands in her pockets and walked out.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot, and she had to take the elevator up. In the picture, the parking lot was dark, and Qiao Ze shuddered and muttered, "It's so cold."
Lu Zibing couldn't help but sit up straight. The brief beginning was too ordinary and routine to make people feel nervous. But from the moment Qiao Ze entered the mall, he hissed, "...I have a bad feeling."
He has watched a lot of horror movies now, and is sensitive to changes in the atmosphere. This mall is eerie and strange.
I don't know where the wind came from underground, and there was an indistinct sound in the darkness. Qiao Ze stood in front of the elevator, watching the numbers change from high to low. There was only one small light source in the entire parking lot.
The perspective of this scene is very strange. The camera shoots Qiao Ze's back from a secret and prying angle, as if something is waiting for an opportunity to move, getting closer and closer.
Just as this perspective was about to enter the illuminated area, there was a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and Qiao Ze walked into the elevator.
She came to the second floor, the supermarket area.
The central air conditioner seemed to be blowing out too low a temperature, and what was strange was that although it was business hours, only a few lights were on on the second floor, and the lighting was not much better than that of the parking lot.
She frowned and pulled out a small cart.
“Click, click…”
Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming from the ventilation duct, like the sound of some clawed animal crawling.
Qiao Ze immediately looked up, stared at the place for a while, and cursed: "I have to write a letter of complaint when I get back. There are actually rats..."
She didn't see anything unusual, but the camera's perspective cut to the inside of the pipe for a moment, and the audience clearly saw a dark pink claw flash by!
[Oh my god! What is that? ? ]
[The zombies in the trailer? They can actually hide in pipes?! ]
[There's no one in the mall, doesn't Qiao Ze find it weird? His heart is bigger than our anchor's! ]
[The mall is serviced by robots, and it’s a remote place, so it’s normal that there are no tourists. But actually, I’m most afraid of this kind of supermarket. I’ve been afraid to go there alone since I was very young...especially in the movie, where the lights are not turned on! ]
At this moment, it was only ten minutes before the movie started, and the other protagonist had not yet appeared. Qiao Ze bought a lot of daily necessities and snacks, but did not leave immediately, but went to the bathroom first.
Looking out from the bathroom window, there is not a single tall building to be seen. The shopping mall is the commanding height within a radius of hundreds of miles, and residential houses are scattered across the plain.
The only thing that stands out within sight is a white building with a high-tech style. The words "Deep Red Technology" can be vaguely made out.
From the conversation between Qiao Ze and her friend not long ago, we know that is where her mother works.
[Her mother is actually a scientific researcher, but her daughter is so rebellious. What a magical combination. ]
[Speaking of people in the mall, I just saw a lipstick next to the bathroom sink and an open makeup mirror. Was it forgotten by a customer?]
"...Mom, I know I was wrong. That kid deserved a beating. I will be gentler next time... No, I can't say that. Let's do it again. Mom, I'm sorry..."
Qiao Ze paced back and forth in the bathroom, rehearsing what he would say to his mother later.
Lu Zibing was unexpectedly tickled: "She is so cool in front of her classmates, but it turns out she can be a coward in front of her parents."
She said a few words, turned her head in confusion, and heard intermittent muffled sounds coming from the cubicle door at the end of the bathroom.
Bang, bang, bang.
It sounded like someone was banging on the door, not frequently, but stereotyped and continuous.
As soon as Lu Zibing finished laughing, his heart couldn't help but rise, and he felt that the first high energy of the beginning was about to come.
Qiao Ze became suspicious, listened for a while and then walked away.
"Anyone there?"
Her voice echoed slightly within the restroom structure, and the camera slowly moved forward following her perspective.
Bang, bang, bang.
No one answered Qiao Ze, but the voice continued. She was afraid that someone was in trouble and it was inconvenient to talk, so she could only ask for help in this way and pushed it away.
The door was not locked, and after it was opened, there was no one inside, only blood in the squat toilet. It was normal to have blood in the women's toilet, Qiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Zibing was still worried.
If he had listened to Shang Jingyan's lectures and open classes at Lianmeng University, he would realize that this is the most classic method of progressive horror.
First it implies that terror is approaching, but when it reaches its climax, nothing happens; it lets the audience relax their vigilance for a short while before the shock breaks out.
As expected, Qiao Ze's face turned pale with anger before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, because she found a new drop of blood dripping from a high place.
She looked up suddenly and saw a dead body hanging from the ventilation duct!
Lu Zibing screamed and almost slipped off the chair: "Fuck it!!"
The skin of the female corpse was a strange pink color, like a cooked shrimp, and she was hung by her own hair instead of a rope.
This compartment has ventilation holes and is higher, so Qiao Ze didn't see the corpse's feet at first glance.
The banging sounds just now were caused by the corpse being swayed by the wind from the vent and hitting the walls and door panels!
Her neck had been stretched out of shape and was hanging limply, and her pair of dazed and pale eyes seemed to be looking at Qiao Ze.
I actually don't think zombie movies are very scary_(:з」∠)_
