Chapter 32 Classic Movie Appreciation (VI)
Back in the classroom, Tang Xinjue walked straight to Li Xiaoyu's seat.
Just now in the bathroom, she had extracted all the information from Sun Qian. She wanted to tie the two of them to her side again, but unfortunately the copy forced her to change the movie, so she had to come back alone.
But at least up to this point, the relationships between the characters in the movie have finally become clear.
As for the so-called incident of Wang Peng sending a love letter, the person who reported it was actually Qian Zhi. Qian Zhi's purpose was not only to frame Wang Peng, but he also pretended that it was his "good brother" Zhao Mingtao who reported it, thus dragging both of them into the water.
Sun Qian, who is good at collecting gossip, discovered this inadvertently, but she did not tell the truth. Instead, she watched Wang Peng being punished by the class teacher and took the opportunity to spread slanderous remarks about Feng Wan.
Feng Wan was just happy and didn't think so much, but she also made trouble - she thought Li Xiaoyu had a crush on Wang Peng, so she ran to Li Xiaoyu to show off, so Li Xiaoyu carved a lot of curses on her makeup mirror.
As for Wang Peng and Zhao Mingtao, there is a high probability that they are planning to fight each other.
This happened in just two days.
Even the characters who had no interaction were not at peace with each other.
All in all, it is possible to pick any two of these six students and find that they have conflicts with each other, and the conflicts are stacked up to the point that they are like a book of death.
Sun Qian and Feng Wan, once friends who were once just friends, were experts in bullying. After becoming ghosts, they became enemies.
Qian Zhi and Zhao Mingtao are plastic brothers. They are as narrow-minded as a needle and as bad-tempered as the sky, and have countless criminal records.
Wang Peng, the squad leader who is disliked by everyone.
Li Xiaoyu is a fringe antisocial character who hates everyone.
With this configuration, it is not an exaggeration to say that all the characters are villains. It makes people wonder if this movie world has no concept of ideological and moral education at all.
Tang Xinjue settled down in front of Li Xiaoyu's seat and pulled out the code book buried in the deepest part of the desk.
Last time, she didn't destroy the code book directly because she was worried about the possibility of triggering the death condition. But now, the other world in this movie copy is not enough to pose a huge threat to her.
Even when the danger is overcome, the other world becomes a bridge for the four people in the dormitory to have brief contact.
Using force on his hands, Tang Xinjue broke the combination lock on the notebook without hesitation.
There was a slight sound of plastic breaking, and the air seemed to be broken by something. Malice and a faint howl flashed by my ears, and a chill quickly spread up the back of my neck!
Tang Xinjue didn't look back. She took a step forward, swung her elbow back, and blocked the attack with the code book in her hand.
As expected, the code book sank, as if it was caught by something. Using the opponent's force to turn around, Tang Xinjue stood on tiptoe and kicked over with a chair.
The chair rolled to the ground without having any impact on the figure in the air, as if it just passed through a wisp of air.
Li Xiaoyu just stood in the air, his neck slightly stretched forward, staring straight at Tang Xinjue, his facial features stretched weirdly, as if he was trying to force a smile.
But as the muscles on her face moved, the charred skin fell off layer by layer like wall paint, making a "sizzling" burning sound.
Like other student ghosts, Li Xiaoyu seemed to feel no pain, or didn't care - she still pulled her muscles hard, without making any sound, just looking into Tang Xinjue's eyes and laughing silently.
Then her figure flickered in the air like an afterimage on a screen, and disappeared into the air again.
The overhead lights flickered, the classroom had become mottled, old and empty, and the smell of blood and burning came from all directions.
With the appearance of Li Xiaoyu's ghost, the inner world was triggered again.
Tang Xinjue opened the notebook, and a dark handprint was left where Li Xiaoyu held it, burning the paper and the words.
If the remaining words are pieced together, some information can still be discerned.
[On the morning of September 5, the forged love letter was discovered. After half a month of tracking, my handwriting was exactly the same as Wang Peng's. But no one opened it. Qian Zhi gave it to the class teacher... He should die (crossed out) and die with Zhao Mingtao]
[But I don’t want to deal with the head teacher’s body, so I’ll just let it rot in the office.]
[I missed the water change at the class water dispenser, so I have a lot of pills left, so I put them in the bottle for now.]
[24 hours... 24 hours left...]
[I seem to have inhaled some of the powder on the love letter. My skin starts to blister and turn black. I want to do it in advance. Everything must be done in advance... Let's start with Sun Qian!]
[Die, everyone must die!]
The last few words didn't look like they were written with a pen. Instead, they looked like blood automatically seeping out of the paper, forming a line of bright red handwriting.
Tang Xinjue carefully read the information above and was about to put down the notebook when he suddenly saw two more lines of words appear on it:
[See what I see, think what I think... Do you want to know the whole truth? ]
[Save me from misery, free me from hatred... Want to know how to save us from hell?]
Tang Xin Jue: "No, thank you."
notebook:"……"
"This is your own life." Tang Xinjue said softly with a blank expression: "I don't have the hobby of saving all living beings."
Her mission is to clear the level and survive, that's all.
The ghosts with countless blood debts on their hands were hunting students in the previous section, and in the next section they asked people to be saved. They wanted to play people around, but it also depended on whether the candidates cooperated.
The notebook still didn't give up: "Don't you want to become stronger? Don't you want to get extra rewards? Don't you want to be exposed to... more secrets of this world?"
Tang Xin Jue stared at it for two seconds and smiled: "If there is an extra reward, will it come from this movie or from you? Li Xiaoyu?"
Without waiting for the notebook to respond, she slammed it shut, took two of Li Xiaoyu's pens, and left the classroom.
Judging from the encounter with Zheng Wanqing, theoretically, as long as two people trigger the inner world at the same time, they can see each other. So if Zhang You or Guo Guo enters the inner world at this time, they can meet.
“Snap, snap!”
As soon as he walked out of the door, Tang Xinjue suddenly raised his eyes and turned his head - it seemed that someone was knocking on the glass window of the classroom, but there was nothing outside the window.
After searching the entire corridor, Tang Xinjue found no roommates except for a few ghosts that attacked unconsciously, so he decided to go upstairs. As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, he heard knocking on the window again.
“Snap, snap!”
There was only white fog outside the stairwell window, so it was unlikely that something was knocking on the window from the outside. The knocking sound could only be coming from the inside.
This time, Tang Xinjue stopped and went forward to check.
There was no trace of anything by the window, and the knocking sound seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.
Thinking of this, she did not move forward, but waited where she was.
If the sound was meant to remind her of something, it would surely come again.
Sure enough, not long after, the popping sound appeared above, not only coming from the stairs on the upper floor, but also from the room at the stairs.
Without hesitation, Tang Xinjue followed the direction of the sound and found that the door was locked from the inside.
The small windshield on top of the door seemed to be tapped twice lightly by something invisible.
Tang Xinjue frowned. Who was reminding her? What did this voice want her to do?
There was no time to think about it now. There were slight noises and a familiar smell in the room. Tang Xinjue had a guess in his mind and knocked on the door: "I am Tang Xinjue."
There was no sound from inside the door. After waiting for two seconds, Tang Xin Jue spoke again: "Guo Guo's favorite books are "After Inheriting the Fascinating Psychic Master, I Have Seven Big Brothers", "After I Got Out, I Was Haunted by the Demon King", "What the Yin Messenger and the Ghost King Have to Say..."
There was a rustling sound of unlocking the door, and then the door was opened forcefully, revealing two faces with unfamiliar features but familiar expressions.
Guo Guo sobbed, "Jue Shen! This is real!"
Zheng Wanqing was there too. She was covered in blood. It was unclear whether it was her own blood or the blood of ghosts. But she was very energetic: "You don't know, just now there was a ghost headmaster who could imitate other people's voices and almost fooled us!"
"Imitating living people is a necessary skill for many ghosts. If it were our school system, this would be a compulsory course for them."
Tang Xin Jue was still in the mood to make a joke. She took out her notebook and said, "This records Li Xiaoyu's perspective. Add yours and we have half of it."
If Zhang You were here, and with one more person's perspective, it would be almost complete.
Speaking of Zhang You, Zheng and Guo shook their heads at the same time. They had been running and searching for Zhang You since they entered the other world, but they still haven't found any trace of him.
"Maybe Zhang You is too cautious, so he has never triggered the other world." Guo Guo guessed.
Tang Xinjue frowned and said nothing. For some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart. But time was running out, and the few of them didn't have time to discuss too much, so they immediately started to compare and summarize the plot.
"So the love letter was copied by Li Xiaoyu?"
Both Zheng and Guo were shocked. Zheng Wanqing suddenly realized, "No wonder Wang Peng was so angry when he came to me, looking like he wanted revenge."
Guo Guo cried, "So it was Li Xiaoyu who did it! Qian Zhi almost hacked me to death because of this. No, it was Sun Qian who almost got hacked to death by Qian Zhi."
Tang Xin Jue reminded: "According to the normal development in the movie world, Sun Qian was most likely hacked to death by Qian Zhi."
After they become characters, they can escape with their enhanced physical fitness and ability props, but the original characters cannot.
Zheng Wanqing nodded seriously: "Yes, I think Feng Wan can't escape."
She stretched out her arm, which was wrapped in layers of toilet paper, and faintly visible was blood seeping out. "This was in the normal world of the movie, and was chopped by the crazy Wang Peng."
Wang Peng seemed to have had a fight with Zhao Mingtao, and was still angry after returning. He thought that Feng Wan and Zhao Mingtao had set a trap for him, so he came to settle accounts with "Feng Wan". During the fight, Zheng Wanqing accidentally kicked over Li Xiaoyu's seat, which led to her entering the other world again.
Tang Xinjue wrote down six names on the paper, and then crossed out the names of Sun Qian and Feng Wan.
"At this point in the story, two people have already died."
Guo Guo shuddered: "This class is too bloody. I wonder how many people died in total..."
Tang Xin Jue said without hesitation: "I tend to think that everyone is dead."
Guo Guo: “!!!”
Tang Xin Jue continued, "In the last scene of the movie, everyone in the class turned into ghosts crying blood. Even if it was a dream, it shouldn't appear for no reason."
Combined with Li Xiaoyu's notebook, which contained the murderous sentence "Everyone must die", it is not surprising that the entire class was wiped out.
"If that's the case," Zheng Wanqing asked after thinking hard, "then everyone will die, it's just a matter of order. Who dreamed up the movie?"
Is it a ghost dreaming?
Tang Xin Jue and the trembling Guo Guo looked at each other and said, "It all depends on who dies in the end."
At this moment, a gentle knocking sound was heard at the door again. Unlike the fierce and weird sound of ghosts, this sound disappeared in a flash, as if leading people over.
——The reunion of the three people was also attracted by this voice.
Several people exchanged glances, and Tang Xinjue decided: "Let's follow this voice and see what happens."
Carefully avoiding the ghosts and NPCs in the corridor, they walked into the bathroom and the sound stopped at the sink.
"Snap"
There was a knock on the mirror above the sink, and several people's eyes were drawn over there. Then they suddenly saw a familiar .
"Zhang You!" Guo Guo blurted out.
——To be precise, it was Zhang You, whose abdomen was covered in blood and whose face was pale.
The three rushed to the mirror, and Zheng Wanqing hurriedly asked, "Zhang You, why are you in the mirror? There is so much blood, what happened?"
Zhang You gave the three people a helpless smile in the mirror, pointed at the wound on his abdomen, and gestured:
"I'm already dead."
