After violently opening the compartment door, Chen Ge saw Qu Changlin paralyzed on the ground. He immediately squatted down and asked, "Are you okay?"
Seeing someone coming in, Qu Changlin's first reaction was not to ask for help, but to crawl back desperately. He was so frightened that he covered his head with his hands, as if the ghost outside the door did not exist as long as he could not see it.
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Do you need my help to call the emergency call?"
There was a trace of concern in Chen Ge's voice. In Qu Changlin's impression, a ghost would not ask such a question.
A gap appeared between the fingers that covered his face, and Qu Changlin saw Chen Ge through the gap.
It was an ordinary and simple face, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes.
How could such a person be a bad person?
Qu Changlin waved his hand. He was about to ask Chen Ge for help when he suddenly remembered something. After he was frightened out by the man hanging upside down in the darkroom, someone kept knocking on the door outside the fourth compartment. There should be something else in the scene.
There is a second ghost!
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Qu Changlin tried his best to calm down, but his voice was still trembling: "Did you hear a strange knocking on the door just now? It has a fixed rhythm, which is different from the knocking on the door we usually do.
The sound is completely different!"
"Knock on the door?" Chen Ge frowned, then gradually relaxed: "I understand, this is the sound you heard, right?"
Chen Ge took a step back, reached out and grabbed the dummy hanging in the air, and shook it gently. The dummy's head hit the door panel.
"When I came in, I happened to see the dummy rocking back and forth and its head hitting the door. That should be the sound you heard just now."
After listening to Chen Ge's words, Qu Changlin was thoughtful. The sound coming from the door panel was indeed caused by the impact of the doll. But what made him a little confused now was that Chen Ge's voice sounded very familiar to him. Just now he
When threatened by ghosts, the other party seems to be speaking in this tone!
"Let's get out first. This toilet smells so strong." Chen Ge grabbed Qu Changlin's arm and tried to help him up.
"Don't come over!" He shook off Chen Ge's hand and sat in the middle of the darkroom and single room.
"No, what are you afraid of? Is this one of the plots of your haunted house? Then how should I cooperate with you?" In order not to create pressure on Qu Changlin, Chen Ge moved away and left the exit for him.
"Acting?" Qu Changlin lay on the ground for nearly a minute before he calmed down again. Seeing that Chen Ge really didn't mean to hurt himself, he slowly let down his guard: "Are you a tourist?"
"What do you think? Am I the ghost in the haunted house and you are the tourist?" Chen Ge sounded helpless. He looked at Qu Changlin as if he was appreciating performance art.
Qu Changlin put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up, but unfortunately he failed. He wanted to try a second time, but then he thought about it, would it be a bit lowering to try in front of tourists?
In order to maintain the dignity of his own haunted house employee, Qu Changlin coughed dryly and said in a somewhat unnatural tone: "Yes, you are lucky to have discovered the hidden plot in this scene! I am the key person in the toilet, and now I have been wronged.
If I’m injured, you need to help me to the dean’s office.”
"Are you a key person in the toilet? I read the diary from the haunted house's freshman ceremony and the words written on the toilet partition. Shouldn't the protagonist of this scene be called Xiao Lin?" Chen Ge was not deliberately trying to undermine him.
He is just curious about everything.
"Haha, actually, I am Xiao Lin." Qu Changlin said bravely.
"But the partition said that Xiaolin is just a child. You look like you are about to run away from home for three years, right? Your hair is so thin."
"You..." Qu Changlin was scared to death just now. He has not yet calmed down. In addition, he is not very talkative. At this time, he was speechless when Chen Ge asked him, and he was sweating.
.
"Stop talking, is it the dean's office? I'll take you there." Chen Ge grabbed Qu Changlin's arm: "Can you stand up?"
Qu Changlin held on to the baffle. His legs were a little numb, and he looked as if he had just learned to walk.
"Are you too into the drama?" Without saying a word, Chen Ge made a move that surprised Qu Changlin. He carried Qu Changlin on his back: "Show me the way."
"Okay..." Qu Changlin felt a little uncomfortable. Just a few minutes ago, he had received a text message from his boss, and he was ready to scare the tourists in front of him. However, only a few minutes later, he was rescued by this tourist.
The cell phone in his pocket vibrated several times. Qu Changlin secretly took it out. The call between him and his boss had long been hung up. On it were several messages from his boss.
"What are you doing! Brother! I asked you to scare him, not to influence him!"
"Where are the modified dolls you usually brag about? Didn't you say that you have installed countless traps in the toilet, so that even a hard-hearted person will be frightened to the point of peeing when he comes in?"
"Why are you still being carried on his back???"
Looking at the messages on his phone, Qu Changlin felt even more bitter. He didn't like to talk and was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. At this time, he didn't know how to answer his boss.
The boss was still sending new messages, but Qu Changlin didn't read them anymore. He was helpless, aggrieved, and worried. He felt like a useless person who couldn't do anything well, so he buried his head lower.
"This haunted house of yours is really scary. When I entered the toilet just now, I was scared to death by the puppet hanging upside down in the air. Especially the puppet's eyes were just like real ones. The master who made the puppet was really amazing.
Already." Chen Ge seemed to be bored and said casually.
"You think that doll is scary?" Qu Changlin slowly raised his lowered head.
"I have played in so many haunted houses, and this is the first time I have been scared by a dummy. The puppet maker is really a genius. He must have specialized in this area. The toilet scene is also very well designed. Visitors know
There is a problem with the fourth compartment. When you open the compartment, you will be attracted by the mirror. Just when the visitor's attention is focused on the mirror, the puppet suddenly falls from the ceiling, making noises in the east and west. This trick is very beautiful." Chen Ge said from
Inner appreciation.
Hearing Chen Ge's words, Qu Changlin's eyes dimmed a little: "It's not bad, actually, there are seven traps in the toilet. Something happened this time, and one trap was triggered."
"Not only is it okay, this scene is considered scary among all the haunted house scenes I have played, but the background plot makes me a little uncomfortable." Chen Ge seemed to be talking to a friend, and his voice and intonation were very natural.
.
"Plot? I think it's okay..."
"I combined the diary and the words on the partition to roughly figure out the background of the toilet ghost story. Xiaolin is a child with a weak sense of existence. No one makes friends with him, so he likes to attract other people's attention through pranks. In the end
The whole class played a prank on him."
"Is there something wrong with this plot?"
"It's not that there is any problem, I just think Xiaolin's tragedy can be completely avoided." Chen Ge seemed to be discussing Xiaolin's mission with Qu Changlin, but in fact he was telling Qu Changlin some of his inner thoughts: "A person
Deliberately pursuing gregariousness will only make your life very tiring. It is also a very sad thing to give up your own hobbies and habits in order to cater to others."
Qu Changlin nodded slightly but did not respond.
Chen Ge didn't care at all and continued: "I'm sorry, I went a bit far. In fact, I see the shadow of my past in Xiao Lin. I used to be like him, afraid of loneliness and wanting to be with everyone.
We built a good relationship. It wasn’t until later that I confessed to the girl I liked, but she politely rejected me.”
Listening to Chen Ge's experience, Qu Changlin felt something familiar, and he unconsciously resonated in his heart: "It must be hard to be rejected."
"Of course, I have been in pain for a long time. During that time, I have been encouraging myself, trying to be strong, and wanting to come out. But only when you have truly experienced this can you understand how difficult it is to come out!"
Chen Ge's words touched Qu Changlin's heart, and he nodded heavily.
"Relationships are hard to explain until one day I overheard a conversation between my friends. It turned out that the girl I loved deeply hated the way I deliberately catered to others. At that moment, I realized that I should find myself again.
There was a hint of vicissitudes in Chen Ge's voice that was inconsistent with his age: "I changed to a new company, where I started a new life. I no longer cater to others. I live hard, work hard, and do my best.
Myself. Now I have a good career and love, and I am my own boss, so I don’t need to worry about whether I fit in with others or not.”
Qu Changlin felt a little envious just hearing Chen Ge say this. He said sincerely: "You are so awesome."
"It's not that I'm great. As long as they are willing to change, everyone can do it, including Xiao Lin in the story." Chen Ge specifically emphasized the word change: "Everyone is the protagonist of his own world. What we have to do is
Just spend your time and energy on things that can strengthen you.”
His eyes became bright, and Chen Ge's words deeply touched Qu Changlin: "Brother, I actually have a similar experience to you. I also liked a girl, but now I'm a little confused..."
"Don't be confused, just remember one sentence." Chen Ge walked past the door of Xiaodie's junk warehouse without raising his head: "Be the best version of yourself. If you bloom, butterflies will come."
