☆, Chapter 144: Don’t worry,
There were too many things on his mind, and he was in this strange world again. Su Niantong didn't feel sleepy until it was almost dawn.
However, before she fell asleep, she heard a sound coming from the wall in her half-awake state.
It was like the sound of a blunt object chiseling on the wall, bang bang bang bang, very dull and easily disturbing.
Su Niantong listened quietly for a while, opened her eyes, and wanted to go out to take a look, but saw Du Yunxiu sitting next to her.
“…” She was startled and sat up from the bed.
"Don't be afraid..." Du Yunxiu put a finger on his lips and said in a low voice, "It's me."
Su Niantong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and lowered his voice to ask, "Did you hear the sound too?"
"Yeah." Du Yunxiu nodded slightly and turned to look at the wall where the sound kept coming from. "It seems to be in the next room."
The sky was already slightly brighter, and I could see things in the room clearly without turning on the lights.
Su Niantong glanced at his legs and asked, "Do you want to go take a look?"
"If you don't mind me being a burden." Du Yunxiu smiled.
"Nothing is a drag."
Although Du Yunxiu has difficulty walking, he is not a burden.
Even though they slept in the same room and the two beds were so close to each other, Su Niantong didn't even know when he got up and changed to the wheelchair, which shows how agile he was.
Pushing Du Yunxiu out of the room, there were already two people in the corridor who heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. One of the men was the one who had enthusiastically helped her solve her doubts before.
"Did you hear the noise too?" the man came over and asked when he saw them coming out.
"Yeah." Su Niantong said, looking at the room number 44 next door.
The dull sound continued and became more intense as time went on. Originally, there were several seconds between each sound, but now it was one sound after another.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, like a life-threatening melody.
"Ah——" Suddenly, a scream came from inside.
The sound was full of panic and urgency, but not particularly sharp or harsh. It was so subtle that it seemed as if the person inside was sealed in a box, distant and dull.
The dull knocking sound also stopped abruptly with the exclamation.
For a moment, the corridor became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
But this silence was very strange. Su Niantong saw that the expressions of the other two men who came out with them changed.
The man who had spoken to him so enthusiastically before stepped forward and knocked, calling out, "Liu Cheng! Li Jie!"
No one responded from inside.
He didn't knock a second time. Instead, he took two steps back and rushed over to slam the door open.
As the door opened, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.
Su Niantong was so familiar with this smell, it was the same one that gushed out of the wound on her chest before she died.
The room seemed to be stained with blood, and all that could be seen was blood red.
But upon closer inspection, the blood was not sprayed on, but printed on.
There were bloody handprints one after another, on the ceiling, on the walls, and even on the floor. Each one looked like a dying cry for help, weird and terrifying.
On the beds lying side by side not far from each other, two bodies were dismembered into pieces and piled up at the head of the bed like a pile of rotten meat, with their internal organs all over the floor.
"Ugh..." The short man was shocked by the scene. He covered his mouth, turned around and ran out of the room, and vomited somewhere unknown.
Su Niantong also felt nauseous and covered his nose with the back of his hand.
Du Yunxiu couldn't see anything. He wheeled his wheelchair over to the bed and carefully examined the two piles of body parts on the bed. Then he turned around and said, "The head is missing."
He said so.
Su Niantong was deeply impressed by the way he stated the facts calmly and effortlessly.
Although he was a rich second-generation CEO during his lifetime, he was very courageous.
“Both are missing their heads”
The man who had been leading the group looked grim, but it was clear he had been through something big. He slowly stepped forward and checked with Du Yunxiu before saying, "It's definitely gone."
At this moment, the noise here alarmed people in other rooms, and everyone came out of their rooms one after another.
Seeing the scene in the room, the people who came in turned back after walking a few steps, covering their mouths. The timid girl even started crying.
"How could this happen? Why did someone suddenly die? Are we all stuck in a mess?... Wuwu..."
"Don't be afraid, baby, I'm here and I will protect you." The man in the same room was coaxing her.
Du Yunxiu frowned slightly and said to Su Niantong, "Let's go out first. The room is so small, and you can't find anything."
"Yeah." The leading man didn't know what he was thinking of. His face changed strangely and he rushed out of the door in a hurry.
Seeing him like that, Su Niantong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so she hurriedly pushed Du Yunxiu out of the room.
In the corridor, those who vomited came back, but those who cried were still wiping their tears.
"How can someone die? We've already died, why are we dying again..." the timid girl sobbed, "Didn't the system say we could be reborn... I don't want to die."
"You forgot that only those who leave the system can be reborn. Those who died will probably have their souls scattered." Someone said.
The girl trembled with fear, her sobs turning into loud sobs. "I don't want to die, I want to live, I want to be reborn."
"Nonsense, who doesn't want to be reborn?" the man said disdainfully, "But is rebirth so easy to come by? Maybe two people will die every night until almost everyone is dead, leaving only one person to be reborn."
This was just a casual guess, but it made everyone very frightened.
Those who were previously happy about entering the system began to become less confident.
"Everyone calm down and listen to me," the leading man stepped forward and said, "Some of you may not be familiar with me, so let me introduce myself. My name is Cheng Shen, and I was a programmer before I died."
In the face of life and death, no one cared about his occupation and name in his previous life. Everyone was still discussing in panic what to do if two people really died every night.
It wasn't until the man said his next sentence that everyone looked at him.
"I have some understanding of the rebirth system." Cheng Shen said.
"Tell me how much you know," someone asked hurriedly.
"Three gangsters broke into my house, tied me up in the living room, and raped my wife in front of me. This is the cause of my death." Cheng Shen said, "This is my second time entering the system. After leaving the system last time, I gained a special ability and successfully killed an enemy."
"As you can see, there are indeed some dangers within the system. However, as long as we unite and work together, we can escape the system, be reborn, and seek revenge on those who killed us."
Seeing his determined face, everyone rekindled their hope and got ready to try.
"Yes, don't be afraid, we are the ones chosen by the system."
"I was killed by my wife and her lover. I must kill those two bitches to avenge myself!"
Su Niantong was not as optimistic as they thought.
Cheng Shen said that he once broke away from the system and successfully killed an enemy.
But he is still in the system.
This proves that even if one leaves the system, rebirth is not permanent.
But those who were overwhelmed by joy did not notice this.
Su Niantong didn't expose it.
Unlike these people, she doesn't care how long she can live, she just wants to kill everyone who has hurt her sister.
As long as she could get out, as long as she could get revenge, she didn't care about anything else.
Feeling that the person in the wheelchair had not spoken for a long time, Su Niantong lowered his head.
Du Yunxiu frowned, as if he was confused about something.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked, leaning forward.
"It's gone." Du Yunxiu looked at the excited crowd opposite him, gently supporting his forehead with his fingertips.
Su Niantong was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and looked around the crowd.
It’s indeed gone!
The yellow-haired man who lived alone before is gone.
"He..." Thinking of the two people who were killed before, Su Niantong felt that the yellow-haired man was probably in danger as well.
Du Yunxiu obviously thought the same thing as her. He turned around and smiled at her, "If he's gone, then he's gone. He's not an important person."
“…”Su Niantong.
"It's still early, we can go back to the room and take a nap." Du Yunxiu lifted a strand of hair from her forehead and squinted her eyes lazily.
He looked like this with an indescribable charm. Su Niantong had lived for twenty-two years, but this was the first time she had seen a man with such a good temperament.
The group of people in front of her seemed to be caught up in the passion of a pyramid scheme. Thinking that there was really no point in staying here, she nodded and said, "Okay."
…
Before pushing Du Yunxiu into the room, Su Niantong accidentally saw the number on the door.
50.
She thought of something and turned to look at the next room.
44.
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she leaned over and said, "Our two ages combined seem to be exactly the same as the door number on the room."
Hearing this, Du Yunxiu raised his head and curled his lips slightly, "How did you come up with this?"
There was admiration in his eyes, but no surprise.
Su Niantong remembered that when this person took the initiative to ask him to share a room, he introduced himself with his age.
She only replied with her name at that time, and Du Yunxiu later asked about her age.
visible……
"You knew it a long time ago." Su Niantong's eyes turned cold.
She doesn't like people who are scheming and playing dumb.
Du Yunxiu obviously noticed her change in attitude and smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I was just guessing before. There's no logic between the house numbers. I thought of this possibility when I saw Cheng Shen introducing himself and asking the two men's ages, but I didn't dare to confirm it, so I didn't say it out loud."
Su Niantong's eyes softened.
She was the last person to enter the system, and when she came out of the room, the people in the corridor had already recognized each other.
Du Yunxiu's words were credible, and Cheng Shen obviously understood the rules very well.
"I thought of this connection because of Cheng Shen, but you were able to figure out the connection just by looking at the house number. You are very smart." Du Yunxiu said again.
"I just suddenly remembered that you asked me about my age." Su Niantong said, looking at the people still gathered in the corridor, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think we should say it?"
Cheng Shen knew about this, but didn't say it.
It can be seen that he is not as enthusiastic and harmless as he seems. Instead, he concealed his guess and allowed others to choose the wrong room.
This incident indirectly proves that perhaps the more people die, the more beneficial it is for the remaining talents, rather than Cheng Shen's lie that unity can break away from the system.
After all, he was the second person to enter the system and had successfully killed his enemies.
"It's up to you." Du Yunxiu said, "Since you came up with this idea, I respect your choice."
"Then tell me." Su Niantong said, "We don't know the ages of the other people sharing the room yet, so this is a good opportunity to ask. Maybe we're overthinking it, and the ages and house numbers of the other people don't match."
"Yeah." Du Yunxiu nodded slightly.
The two returned to the corridor and told the others about the house number.
After hearing this, everyone was filled with disbelief and horror, and hurriedly looked for the people they were sharing the room with to check their ages.
The results came out soon, and just as Su Niantong had guessed, the two dead people were the only two people whose combined ages were different from their house numbers.
The yellow-haired man who lived alone in a room was definitely not dead, but missing, because his age and number did not match the 57 on the house number.
This result made everyone's hope become depressed again.
"It's so scary. If you don't live in the right room, you will die..." The timid girl began to sob again.
This time no one cared about her.
Even the pervert in the same room was shocked by what happened one after another. His face looked grim and he didn't bother to comfort her.
"I'm a little sleepy..." Du Yunxiu yawned and looked up at Su Niantong, "Let's go back to the room and catch up on some sleep."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him in surprise. They were surprised that anyone could still sleep in such a situation.
He has a really big heart.
Su Niantong didn't think anything of it. He nodded and pushed the wheelchair towards the room.
What is coming will eventually come. Instead of wasting time in fear and terror, it is better to adjust your state to face what is going to happen.
…
"Card!"
"Very good!" Director Sun stopped the performance and was very satisfied with this part.
This is a very long scene, and it is not easy to perform both the lines and the emotions. Shooting it in one take is the most challenging for the actors, but both Wen Mianyu and Shen Zui performed very well.
"I really didn't choose the wrong person. I can keep this audition as a teaching material." Director Sun walked towards the two of them.
Wen Mianyu instantly lost her composure and returned to her usual self. She asked, "Director Sun, can you give me a copy of the audition video?"
"What are you going to do?" Director Sun was puzzled.
"Show it to... my boyfriend." It was the first time Wen Mianyu used this address in front of outsiders, and she felt a little embarrassed. "Ask him to give me some more advice."
"As expected of an actress who sets high standards for herself, you performed so well and are so willing to listen to my advice." Director Sun expressed his admiration. "Of course I can give you the video. It's not a secret that can't be leaked. I'll have my assistant send you a copy later."
"Then I want a copy too." Chen Zui interrupted, "I'll take it back and read it myself, and then study it to find my own shortcomings."
"Okay, I'll send them all to you." Director Sun said kindly.
…
On the way back, after receiving the video, Wen Mianyu forwarded it directly to Lu Congxu.
Ten minutes later, which was also the time for the video to play, Lu Congxu sent a voice message back.
"The acting was excellent. It allowed me to overlook the inappropriate costumes and settings and immerse myself in the play. Being immersed in it is also an improvement."
"I didn't expect Chenzui to be the male lead. He is still so afraid of me. What do you think? Is this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?" Wen Mianyu replied.
"It's difficult to change an established impression overnight." Lu Congxu replied in a voice message.
"Are you relieved now?" Wen Mianyu teased him.
