Chapter 1
The courier guy was standing at the door with the express box in his hand. When he saw Jiang Qi coming out, he handed the package to him.
Jiang Qi subconsciously looked behind the courier boy and found that there was no familiar sack.
"That's it?" Jiang Qi looked incredulous.
The courier boy paused on his way back and said, "This is the courier. The recipient is Jiang Qi."
"Nothing else?" Jiang Qi weighed the express in his hand. It was not heavy, only two or three pounds, the weight of an ordinary box.
A book worth 2499.5 yuan includes one sack of props and another one includes two sacks of props. How come a book worth 9000 yuan doesn’t even have a sack?
Is discrimination against terror a crime?
Horror doesn't have to pay for props? !
"Why don't you take a look at the express truck to see if there are any sacks or something like that. I remember this package is quite big, it shouldn't be just this small." Jiang Qi said.
The courier checked it briefly and said, "No, this is the only package. If you really need other packages, I'll find them and send them to you later. You'd better contact the seller first and ask how many packages there are. If there are really missing items, just contact us directly."
The courier was in a hurry, so he rode away on his three-wheeled motorcycle.
Jiang Qi returned to the store with the package, picked up a utility knife and started to open it.
Unlike the previous minimalist cover, the cover of this box of "Horror Doll House" is quite fancy. The whole box is colorful, with the overall color tone being pink. In addition to the Q-version font on the cover is a big candy fairy tale house, and the pink house is full of various candies.
It doesn't seem like a horror book, but more like a fun book for children.
When you open the box, you will find six character books, a host manual, six invitations and two stacks of clue cards. The configuration is very simple.
Jiang Qi opened one of the invitation letters and read:
Dear Miss Zuo Si, your application for membership has been accepted by our association. Please come to the Horror Doll House at 7:00 pm on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month to complete your membership exam. No latecomers will be accepted. The theme of this exam is turtle soup.
The Supernatural Horror Fans Association.
Jiang Qi: ...
What kind of suicidal name and suicidal association is this...
This player's name is even called "Seeking Death".
Jiang Qi looked at the cover of the book and found that the six players this time were named Zuo Si, Zhao Si, Xun Si, Yu Gui, Zhuang Gui, and Jian Gui.
For a moment, Jiang Qi couldn't tell which name was more unlucky.
Jiang Qi looked at the time. It was almost half past one. Old John's guests would probably be here soon. Old John even took his notebook upstairs to prepare.
"Uncle Huang, I'm going upstairs to read the script and I'll lock the door. If I don't come out, you can take over for me when it's my turn to perform." Jiang Qi instructed.
The last time he entered and exited the memory of "Time Cinema", there was a difference of several hours. Jiang Qi didn't dare to bet how long this book would take.
"Okay." Huang Fugui knew what Jiang Qi was worried about, "No problem."
Huang Fugui can play the villain roles played by Jiang Qi with some effort. He has practiced the performance in "Mask Club" specially, so he has no problem taking the role temporarily.
Jiang Qi carried Ben upstairs and walked into the small modern room at the back.
The character at the top was Zuo Si's, so Jiang Qi simply looked at Zuo Si's character book.
'Your name is Zuo Si, and you are a veteran horror fan.'
…
The book is quite thick and requires a lot of reading.
Act 1 is a full 7 pages long, mainly introducing Zuo Si's suicidal life.
Miss Zuo Si's experience and degree of suicidal tendencies from childhood to adulthood are so impressive that even the leading actors of terrible horror movies would be impressed.
In general crappy horror movies, the protagonists are at most stubborn and stubborn. For example, when going out for fun, they insist on going to a remote villa in the woods, insist on going to an uninhabited island, insist on buying a famous haunted house, and think it is a great bargain and a huge profit.
But these are all unconscious deaths.
Miss Zuo Si is really courting death.
As a senior horror enthusiast, Zuo Si has devoted his life to finding supernatural events and practicing feudal superstition. Other people's hobbies are shopping, traveling and playing games, but Zuo Si's hobbies are writing pens, writing plates and raising ghosts.
Zuo Si played with the Pen Fairy with her roommates in high school and with the Ouija boarding house in college. As her years of suicidal behavior had not yielded any results (she was still alive), she deliberately went to an abandoned hospital said to be built on a graveyard at 12 o'clock in the evening with a group of suicidal enthusiasts she met online to play with the Pen Fairy.
The spirit of the pen was very effective that time. After one month, only 6 of the 8 living people were left. From then on, Zuo Si became more obsessed with this suicidal behavior, and even invited a not very formal Kumantong home with the introduction of netizens.
Zuo Si tasted the sweetness of raising a ghost. Not only did he successfully steal his roommate's boyfriend, he also won a scholarship under impossible circumstances and won a small prize in the lottery and made a small fortune.
Just when Zuo Si contacted the mysterious netizen who taught him how to invite a KumanTong home again, wanting to invite another KumanTong home, the netizen recommended the Supernatural and Horror Lovers Association to her.
Grain Cannon
It is said that this association is full of bigwigs, and everyone has rich experience in committing suicide. Zuo Si is very eager to join. With the recommendation of a mysterious netizen, Zuo Si submitted an application for membership and received an invitation letter on the eve of the Ghost Festival, asking her to go to the city's famous haunted temple to be assessed on the night of the Ghost Festival.
The horror doll house was originally an internet-famous candy store. The owner loved dolls very much and placed hundreds of dolls in the candy store as decoration. In addition, the store was beautifully decorated, and people often went there to check in and take photos.
But a year ago, this candy store caught fire unexpectedly. Because the fire started at night and in the owner's room on the second floor, even though the fire was put out in time and did not spread to the first floor, the owner still died in the fire.
Since then, the store has been rumored to be haunted.
People nearby often hear children's laughter and crying coming from this store, especially at night, when you can always hear the clear laughter of a little girl, who then starts to cry while laughing, which is very creepy.
Gradually, no one dared to rent the shops nearby, and the once popular Internet celebrity shop turned into a horror doll house.
Jiang Qi, after reading the previous summary: …
How should I put it? After seeking her own death in this way, it will be difficult for Miss Zuo Si to leave alive.
By the way, can the player character die in a script-killing plot?
If the remaining five were to do the same kind of suicidal thing, Jiang Qi felt that there was a high probability that these six people would be wiped out.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qi turned to the second act.
'On the evening of the 15th day of the seventh lunar month at 7:00 p.m., you must follow the instructions on the invitation letter and walk into this legendary haunted shop on time.'
A flash of white light appeared, and Jiang Qi appeared on an unfamiliar street.
The sky was dark, and there was still a last glimmer of light in the sunset glow on the horizon, like the last flame of a fire that burned up everything, and the darkness under the flame was the ruins after it burned out.
In front of Jiang Qi was a beautiful girl dressed exquisitely, with chestnut curly hair, delicate small earrings hanging on her earlobes, a khaki small bag on her back, a plaid printed skirt on her body, and even her manicure was newly done, exactly the same as the character portrait in Zuo Si's book.
Zuo Si stood in front of the abandoned candy store, hesitating whether to open the door.
Because no one had repaired the candy store after the fire, the exterior walls were still blackened from the fire, the windows were closed so you couldn't see inside, and the door looked like it was newly replaced.
There was a sign hanging on the door that said Welcome.
"Open it." Jiang Qi knew Zuo Si couldn't hear what he said, but he urged him anyway, "You are the protagonist. If you don't open the door, there is no way to advance the plot."
Zuo Si hesitated for a while, but still reached out, turned the handle, pushed the door open and walked in.
Jiang Qi followed closely behind.
The first thing that catches your eye is the clock on the wall.
7 o'clock sharp.
The timing was perfect and Zuo Si was not late.
In addition to Zuo Si, there are five other people in the room, three men and two women, corresponding to exactly six roles.
All the players were present, but the people from the Supernatural and Horror Fans Association who had invited everyone to take the exam did not come.
Zuo Si was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the bright interior, the pink wallpaper, the room full of dolls and decorations full of fairy tale princess features. He obviously didn't expect that the legendary haunted candy store would be like this.
"Didn't the Internet say that this candy store caught fire? I saw the walls outside were blackened by smoke, but how come the inside is so well preserved? It doesn't look like there was a fire at all." Zuo Si asked.
No one answered her. The other five people sat on their chairs with great indifference. Zuo Si stopped talking and sat on the last empty chair.
Jiang Qi began to carefully look at the decorations of the candy store, which were valuable decoration materials to him.
He had already taken a quick look and it would not be difficult to restore the store's current decoration to any room on the second floor.
From what he has seen so far, both the dolls and the decorations are not expensive. The only thing that needs to be spent is probably the wallpaper on the wall, which needs to be customized by a special manufacturer. The candy store itself is not big. If this decoration is copied into a small Chinese-style room, it may be a little crowded, but it doesn't matter, it will be spacious if the table is removed.
You don't need a table to play a horror book; a chair to sit on is enough.
Horror book is still good.
Jiang Qi praised in his heart that the venue was small, the number of people was small, it saved money and was easy, it was really a blessing for script-killing shops.
Just as Jiang Qi was carefully studying the decoration of the candy store, the middle-aged man with a big belly sitting on the chair became extremely impatient.
"What's going on? This crappy association is so mysterious that membership requires recommendation from a special person, and after the recommendation, you still have to come and take an exam. We got a few of us together but no one came out. Is there anyone here? If no one, I'm leaving!"
"Mr. Zhuang, don't be anxious." An old voice came from the second floor.
This was followed by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs and the sound of a cane poking at the wooden stairs. The sound was very heavy, and just listening to it made one feel that the cane must be very heavy.
An old lady with silver hair, hunched back, dressed in black, and full of wrinkles, who looked so old that it seemed as if her skin was sagging all over her body, and whose face and hands were covered with age spots, walked down from upstairs.
"I am your examiner today and also the vice president of this association. My last name is Gu, so you can just call me Granny Gu."
Grandma Gu's voice was hoarse, as if something was stuck in her throat. It was very uncomfortable to listen to her speak.
"Everyone is here today to take part in our association's membership examination. Time is tight, so I won't waste any more time. Let's get started."
