Chapter nine hundred and twenty eight: cold disregard
"We have reached the final stage. Oh, by the way, Mr. Henry, what is going on with your wife? Why does she keep holding an artificial crow? In the past few days, I always see her holding that thing every time I pass by the garden.
Talking to myself, I feel a little weird."
Language is an art. After long contact with a young man named He who was good at deceiving and another man named Zhao who was good at lying, Peng Hu gradually mastered some language skills and became less straightforward.
, but he knew how to probe and inquire to obtain information in a non-obtrusive way. At this moment, the bald man saw the opportunity and decisively stepped forward.
He clicked and answered the old man with a curious tone. The only difference was that after answering the question, he immediately changed the direction and changed the subject, talking about some more things that had nothing to do with the question, such as Henry's wife, such as crows, especially the two 'crows'
When the words came out of his mouth, the bald man deliberately spoke with a thick accent, as if he was deliberately reminding someone at the scene.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ping looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes, and the bald man also glanced at Zhao Ping after finishing his words. Yes, Zhao Ping is not a slow person. With his wisdom and understanding,
The ability to instantly understand the meaning of the bald man's words
, the other party was undoubtedly passing information to him in this way, implicitly conveying the intelligence clues that the other party had discovered recently. Just as the bespectacled man thought at the beginning, Peng Hu was not idle, since he was Henry's assistant.
Identity cursed
Since being transported to this funeral home, the man has been observing and groping. After all, the small town funeral home is also an important place in the original movie. It is very likely that some clues are hidden here. Therefore, using Henry's assistant's identity, and in addition, he can
long term waiting
Due to the convenience here, Peng Hu focused on Henry's wife. During this period, he also kept observing the crazy woman. Similar to Zhao Ping or He Fei, Peng Hu also did the same after watching "Dead Silence" on the train.
I have doubts about that crazy woman.
(A crow? Peng Hu wants me to pay more attention to Henry’s wife and the fake crow? Well, the crazy woman is indeed worthy of attention. As for the crow, that thing, that thing... It seems that no one will care, right? Maybe this can be considered a point.
Clues worth remembering.)
Since his bald assistant was involved in private family issues, the result was predictable. After hearing the bald man's answer, Henry felt unhappy. In addition, he found that Jamie looked suspicious after hearing this. Seeing this, Henry was afraid of leaking the news.
With a serious look on his face, Busan refuted directly to Peng Hu: "Isn't this the case for all mental illnesses? What's the fuss about? Okay, go back to work quickly."
Seeing the boss urging him, Peng Hu, who wanted to stay a little longer, could only turn around and leave reluctantly, but...
At the last moment when the bald man was about to turn around, he glanced at Zhao Ping, and finally glanced at the man opposite him. Then he quietly made a small secret movement under the gaze of the man with glasses, and raised his palm slightly to make a downward slash.
, apart from the action, the bald man’s last look in Zhao Ping’s eyes was also full of murderous intent!
………
Personality determines whether a person is indecisive or direct. Of course, being indecisive does not necessarily mean a derogatory meaning, and being direct is not necessarily a compliment. This is similar to the principle that everything always has two sides. It often depends on the development of the situation.
If you have enough time, it is not urgent. If you are indecisive, you can better sort out your thoughts and think about it. But if you are short of time and the situation is serious, simply going directly will naturally become your priority.
Unlike Zhao Ping, who was hesitant and cautious, through movies and reality, Peng Hu believed that he had to do something for the team, and before doing that, he had to say hello to his teammates. So, before leaving, the man looked at
Showing his murderous intent, he made a small move.
(Could it be that he wants to...)
As soon as Peng Hu left, in the living room, Henry brought the topic back to the funeral: "The makeup work has been basically completed. If nothing happens, the burial can be tomorrow. Is there no problem?"
Jamie silently shook his head and said it was okay. Seeing that the other party had no objection, Henry continued: "In addition, I am also ready for the funeral arrangements you entrusted. So, you will go directly to the town cemetery tomorrow morning. The origin of the funeral
I'll arrange it."
The subsequent conversation was basically unfocused. After about ten minutes, after discussing the funeral matters with Henry, Jamie stood up to say goodbye and left in a car with Zhao Ping. This discussion took a long time, and by the time the two left the funeral home, the sky had changed.
It was dark, the time entered the evening, so
, relying on their past memories, the two of them, who had been busy for a day, drove to their residence under the guidance of Jamie, and came to the only hotel in the town that provided accommodation and catering. Just like the original plot, the name of this small hotel is still based on local conditions.
, Ravenel Motel.
A hotel in a town is indeed not that big. It is not as elegant as expected, and does not have high-end floors as expected. It only has a front-end restaurant and two rows of accommodation bungalows at the back. The conditions are relatively average, but for foreign tourists, this place is after all.
The only place that can provide food and accommodation. In this case, Jamie, who hates his father, will undoubtedly give priority to the hotel instead of his luxurious and obviously comfortable manor home.
only……
He stopped the car and turned off the engine, pushed the door open and entered. Just as the two of them entered the hotel restaurant, Zhao Ping spotted an acquaintance again. At this moment, the female receptionist standing at the front desk responsible for registration was not a plot character, but an executor.
The new executor who just boarded the train not long ago is network programmer Yang Yang!
That's right, it's Yang Yang. It's this female newcomer who has been taciturn since she joined the team. Similar to how everyone has an identity arrangement, Yang Yang is also bound by the rules of identity assignment. As she gets off the train and the mission begins, she appears directly.
In Ravenel, he was cursed and assigned to be a hotel receptionist. In fact, strictly speaking, he played an insignificant role in the original plot. Yang Yang should have been lucky. Even though he was in a small town, the danger was still there, but after all, it was better than
Chen Shuihong and Li Tianheng, who had a rough fate and were trapped in the manor
Or Qian Xueling and others are too powerful. At least they don't have to worry about it all the time. They just need to pay a little attention to their own safety. The truth seems to be correct. However, even so, even if they are relatively safe in the hotel, a certain lingering stock will
The feeling of fear still surrounds her all the time, even
It almost overwhelmed this woman, for the same reason. The main reason was that as a newcomer, she did not have a deep understanding of supernatural missions. In addition, she was alone without teammates. It can be imagined that facing the unknown world, the woman was frightened and panicked.
Not all day long, because...
This is the mission world, this is Ravenel, there are worms here, and there is a real and ferocious female hawk. As long as the other party is willing, the female hawk can easily kill herself at any time, pluck out her tongue alive, and let the other party pluck out her tongue alive.
Die in despair and pain!
The more the woman thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more afraid she became, the more frightened she became. In the end, she even dared not turn off the light and go to sleep.
Mentality determines thoughts, and thoughts determine reality. In reality, Yang Yang was pessimistic and at a loss, so he spent the first day of the mission in a way that almost scared him.
As mentioned above, due to excessive fear, Yang Yang was not in a good state. In front of the counter, in addition to his face being covered with haze, his eyes were scanning the video one after another, as if he was always on guard against something. This is not her fault, after all.
She knew that she was in a mission world, and it was also a movie world that was 100% inhabited by beetles. It was extremely dangerous here, and she could be threatened at any time.
Maybe she was attacked by a locust. She wanted to run and escape from the town, but unfortunately she couldn't. After all, the rules were there. Yes, if staying in the town was just a possibility of being killed, then leaving the town would undoubtedly lead to death.
And this is the reason why the woman insists on staying in the hotel even though she is scared to death. It is also the key reason why she dare not contact the senior person.
but……
As time continued to pass, when the time came to the second evening, when two travelers walked in outside the door, or the moment she walked into the hotel with Zhao Ping, Yang Yang's fear suddenly disappeared, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The frustrated face suddenly showed a hint of joy!
(Senior! He is a veteran with rich experience. That man seems to be called Zhao, Zhao Ping! Yes, his name is Zhao Ping. That’s great. I want him to stay. I want him to stay in the hotel to protect me!)
"Welcome to Ravenel Motel, would you like to have a meal or stay, gentlemen?"
With full of joy, Yang Yang immediately stepped into the role, and while greeting Zhao Ping politely, he winked wildly at Zhao Ping. It was obvious that although he could not talk in detail due to the rules, Yang Yang still tried his best to hint at the other person and tried to tell the other person with his eyes.
I was very scared and hoped that the senior man named Zhao Ping in front of me would pay attention to me and even protect myself.
pity……
The scene that happened next instantly extinguished the woman's hope, making her heart sink to the bottom of her heart when she was just full of joy.
Although she tried her best to speak warmly and wink at the other person when she saw her, Zhao Ping remained unmoved and showed no reaction. Except for the man's face showing a slight lag when he first saw her, he remained indifferent to her for the rest of the time.
Silent and silent, he ignored his eager eyes and ignored her from beginning to end as if she were nothing. At this moment, the man with glasses stood expressionlessly behind Jamie. The man was silent, as calm as water, and didn't even look.
Take a look at her.
(Why? Why are you ignoring me? Why is this happening!?)
Let's not talk about how Yang Yang was currently wailing in his heart and how confused he was. He entered the restaurant and took a cursory glance at the internal environment. Perhaps he felt that the environment was okay. Jamie had no doubt that he was there, so he ordered Yang Yang first: "Miss, inform the chef.
, we need to eat first."
………
Time passed by, and the sky was getting dark before I knew it.
In the restaurant, Jamie and Zhao Ping had a hasty meal first, and then naturally checked into a room to rest. However, during the check-in period, something happened, something that puzzled Jamie greatly.
As a working-class person with a stable income, Jamie is not a poor person. On the contrary, he has saved quite a lot of money in recent years and is living a prosperous life. Otherwise, it would be impossible to buy a house in the city and get married. After dinner, Jamie wanted to open two rooms for himself and
Zhao Ping had a room for himself, but before he could speak, the lawyer friend next to him had already spoken before him and asked the female receptionist who looked ugly for some reason to have only one room.
"Zhao Ping, are you saving money on accommodation for me? Don't worry, I have enough money."
With a puzzled look on his face, Jamie casually expressed his personal understanding. He thought it was not necessary for the two of them to share a room. However, the strange thing was that the other party rejected him and shook his head to express that this was not what he meant. Seeing this, Jamie could only
He shrugged helplessly and turned to Yang Yang, who was a receptionist, and asked tentatively: "Miss, are the hotel rooms full?"
As just described, Yang Yang has maintained an ugly expression since she confirmed that the man with glasses was ignoring her. She couldn't understand why the man ignored her? She was obviously an acquaintance of her teammates, even if it was against the rules.
But you should always respond with your eyes? But in the end...
Of course, he was puzzled and annoyed. Seeing Jamie asking, Yang Yang could only answer casually like he was running an errand: "The guest rooms in our hotel are very available."
After receiving a negative reply, Jamie became more and more puzzled. He looked at his friend with doubts in his eyes. It was only then that Zhao Ping, who had been silent for a long time, finally told him the answer and said something that shocked Jamie. And this sentence
This is exactly what the man with glasses said about his request for a single room:
"I am a lawyer, but I am also an Easterner. There are many people in my country who believe in some weird things. Yes, I am a theist."
Talking to smart people often doesn’t require being too straightforward. Jamie is not a fool. He heard the meaning behind his friend’s words. Somehow, after hearing these words, Jamie’s handsome face couldn’t help but twitch slightly, and at the same time he frowned.
Wrinkled in thought, silent for a moment, he lowered his head subconsciously and looked to his right hand, looking at the puppet in his hand, the puppet named Billy.
The doll was still the same doll. It was held in Jamie's hand like an ordinary toy. Everything was so normal. However, after hearing Zhao Ping's pointed words and looking at the doll again, the young man's thoughts surged, and gradually
A strange thought came up, a different conjecture that I had never had before.
Zhao Ping successfully hinted at a wave of Jamie.
He knew in his heart that with the intelligence shown by the other party in the original movie, it was impossible for him not to understand the connotations of his words. Sure enough, he guessed it right. After looking at the puppet, he took a deep look at the man with glasses in front of him. Jamie no longer persisted and turned around.
He ordered Yang Yang, who was currently feeling angry, "Please give us a room."
After driving through the room and taking the key, the two left the restaurant and rushed to the backyard.
Watching the two of them leave the restaurant, Yang Yang figured it out in front of the counter. He finally figured out everything from the previous attitude of the man with glasses towards him. It turned out that the other party didn't care about his life or death at all, and he didn't care about his consequences. Otherwise, why not
Take care of yourself!?
(Damn! These damn veterans are really unreliable!).
Her thoughts were surging, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. In the end, her hope was shattered. After being shattered, the woman's attitude towards Zhao Ping also changed, from the initial hope to hatred!
………
The sky turned completely dark and night fell. Zhao Ping and Jamie stayed together in a room with ordinary decoration for the following time. It is worth mentioning that since it is only a small hotel and the conditions are average, the accommodation rooms here are not
It is a closed-type house with a courtyard-like bungalow layout. You can directly enter the outside world after exiting the door.
The room is brightly lit and the environment is dead silent. Through the window, the waning moon is looming in the dark clouds. It feels unreal, as if the sky is covered with a layer of fog, hazy and unclear, making it difficult to distinguish reality from fiction.
After looking out the window, he turned his eyes and noticed that Jamie, who was sitting at the opposite table, was frowning all the time. Zhao Ping couldn't help but be shocked. He thought that the other person would go to sleep immediately like in the original plot. Unexpectedly, the young man was silent from the moment he entered the guest room. He lowered his head and thought deeply. When he saw the scene, the man with glasses moved. He paused to observe, then walked to the opposite side and sat down quietly.
"Jamie what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that his friend who had always been taciturn actually took the initiative to talk to him, Jamie was also a little surprised, but this was not the point after all. Therefore, when faced with the inquiry, the young man just subconsciously replied: "I have a feeling that my father has something strangeness."
(could it be...)
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and followed closely and asked, "Oh? Tell me?"
Ignoring the curiosity on the other party's face, Jamie still lowered his head. He stared at the table for a long time and shook his head and responded: "That's a feeling that's hard to explain. Well, in general, it seems a little unreasonable. Specifically, His behavior during the day shows that although my father smokes, drinks, and has a bad temper, in my personal impression, he has always been in good health and was very healthy in the past. There is no reason why he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed for no reason. Also, there is my man named Stepmother Ella, I always feel weird..."
(Have you finally realized that something is wrong? Have you finally noticed the abnormality? In that case, okay, then I will take advantage of the situation and help you.)
"Oh? You feel that your father and stepmother are both a little weird. So, what do you personally think? I mean, although you insist that Lisa's death is related to the town legend, have you ever thought about killing your wife? Who is the murderer?"
What Zhao Ping said above can be said to be straight to the point. Sure enough, after hearing this, Jamie couldn't help but be startled, and his expression suddenly condensed when the man with the eyes prompted him. The reason came from Zhao Ping. Reminder, despite the fact that he has been linking his wife’s death to the legend of the town, the purpose of coming to the town this time is indeed to find the truth. But, listen to the meaning of what the man with glasses just said...
Could it be that the other party thinks...
"You, do you mean that the murderer who killed Lisa was... hmm? Wait, is this possible?"
Listening to the other party's questioning question full of doubts, Zhao Ping straightened his suit collar, and looked directly at the other party without saying a word, his eyes flashing frequently, as if his eyes alone were enough to tell the other party the truth, so solemnly, yes Yes, he was hinting, not just now, but throughout the day, he had been subtly influencing Jamie and then hinting something to the other party. Although he couldn't say it clearly due to the rules, secret hints were still possible, and this was what Zhao said. The only thing Ping can do at the moment, to put it simply, is that at this moment he hopes that Jamie can realize the existence of the female locust as soon as possible, so as to leave the town as soon as possible without fear!
Yes, Zhao Ping understands Jamie's stubborn character, and also knows that it is difficult for him to persuade him to leave the town. But the problem is that he cannot persuade him to leave the town. The root cause is that he cannot ignore the cruel rule that curses Jamie to wipe out everyone once he dies. !.
Similarly, because the shadow of obliteration always exists, Zhao Ping has been doing two jobs since he entered the town. In addition to collecting as much intelligence as possible, he also has to worry about Jamie's life all the time. You must know that "Dead Silence" The movie is a horror movie with no solution! If this supernatural mission can develop 100% according to the original plot, that is, it would be okay until the female slug takes action against Jamie until the end of the movie. After all, the executor can prepare in advance, but unfortunately This is obviously impossible. You said that the curse will not change the plot? He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death, so he was afraid. He was really afraid that the female tiger would attack Jamie in advance due to the interference of the curse!
Once the female locust launches an attack, it means that Zhao Ping can only protect Jamie on his own!
Yes, one person, just him. It's not that other executors are unwilling to help, but that due to identity restrictions, others cannot stay with Jamie like him, otherwise it will violate the rules. In other words, the only way to do this is to have friends.
Only with your identity can you stay by Jamie's side for a long time.
Dual-tasking, he has to do everything possible to collect information in the hope of finding a way out, and he also has to worry about Jamie's safety at all times. In such a state, it can be said that Zhao Ping is currently under great pressure. Perhaps this is why the bespectacled man ignored Yang Yang's importance before.
The reason is that there are too many facts that he needs to worry about, and he no longer has the extra energy to care about the life and death of the newcomer.
(Jamie, my tips end here. I hope you can figure out the answer. In addition, that person, you, I think you should take action soon, right?).
Looking at each other for a moment, Zhao Ping turned back silently, and turned to look out the window again under Jamie's gaze. The time had already entered the night, and the town outside the window was pitch black. However, the strange thing was that even if the outside world was dark, Zhao Ping's pair of shoes covered in
The eyes under the lenses were still staring intently, looking straight in a certain direction of the town as if they could see through the darkness. As for the specific location? The location was nowhere else, it was in the direction of the funeral parlor that he and Jamie had visited during the day...
………
Time continued to pass, the night fog enveloped the sky, and unknowingly it came to 23 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Because the town is located in a remote area, the nights here are very quiet. The entire town is currently dark, with only the woods in the town occasionally making rustling sounds under the cool breeze. Similarly, during this time period, most small towns
Residents have also gone to bed.
but……
Most does not mean all. At this moment, in the small town funeral parlor, there is a person who is not sleeping, but is moving quietly, seemingly planning to do something...
……………
ps: The plot of this volume is complex and there are many mysteries. In order to better understand and interpret the story of this volume, it is recommended that readers who have not watched "Dead Silence" watch this movie.
