Chapter 53 Photos
Zhang Ruyue looked at the notifications that kept popping up on her phone, the soaring number of likes, and the thousands of messages from strangers asking questions, and it felt like she was in another world.
Am I really famous?
Zhang Ruyue swallowed her saliva and opened the video that she had already watched a thousand times, but she was still shocked when she watched it again.
This is a video shot from someone else's perspective. It is about her rescuing a dying cat in the grass. Although she failed to save the cat, Zhang Ruyue cried exaggeratedly and buried the cat in the soil while crying.
This scene was dubbed "Cat Angel" by people. People praised Zhang Ruyue as a rare kind goddess in today's era and said that they should take Zhang Ruyue as a role model.
But actually...it's not.
They were all wrong.
Zhang Ruyue killed the cat herself, but... everyone thought it was Zhang Ruyue who saved it.
Zhang Ruyue swallowed unconsciously, looking at the crowd attracted by the video and their fanatical love for her. Although Zhang Ruyue knew that the Internet was updating very quickly, maybe one day, no one would pay attention to her anymore.
But she is still very satisfied.
Who doesn't want to shine for fifteen minutes in front of the crowd? Who doesn't want to be seen? Zhang Ruyue really wanted to be famous, but all the content she had filmed before was not visible to anyone.
And all this started seven days ago.
At that time, Zhang Ruyue was still nobody. Suddenly, an internet celebrity followed her, which made Zhang Ruyue flattered. Soon, the internet celebrity told Zhang Ruyue directly -
"Do you want to be famous? Do you want to be more famous than me?"
Zhang Ruyue thought it was another fraudulent contract, but the next moment, a photo was sent to her, and the person in the photo... was Zhang Ruyue herself.
Zhang Ruyue in the photo has short hair, and the floor at home is covered with scattered hair. Her eyes are a little confused.
But... Zhang Ruyue clearly has long hair now!
How did she get a photo of Zhang Ruyue with short hair? Photoshopped? A prank?
But this photo is not of poor quality like a photoshopped one, it looks like the real thing, Zhang Ruyue really did such .
Zhang Ruyue asked the internet celebrity what was going on with this photo and why she wanted to make fun of her?
But then, the internet celebrity just said:
"Tomorrow at the same time and place, take a real photo like this, and everything you want will come true."
May all your wishes come true.
Are you kidding me? What kind of weird prank is this?!
If it were someone else, Zhang Ruyue would never believe it, but... why would this internet celebrity lie to her?
Is it because of this that he became so popular?
The most important thing is...why does it have my photo?
If people can be photoshopped, what about the house? Did they walk into Zhang Ruyue's house and take a photo of the real scene inside?
The next day, Zhang Ruyue still chose to take pictures. She picked a similar time, turned on the video function on her mobile phone, and then Zhang Ruyue cut her hair one by one.
At first, Zhang Ruyue felt a little unfamiliar, but the more she went on, the more she lost herself in it and began to cut her hair naturally. It was not until she finished cutting that she realized that she had finished.
After a pause, Zhang Ruyue walked towards her phone, but she discovered that the video had stopped recording, and the last recorded scene was exactly the same as the photo -
Exactly the same.
Same angle, same expression, even the hair length and the same hair part, everything is exactly the same!!
This scene made Zhang Ruyue feel magical, and she couldn't help but start to believe the words of the internet celebrity. After thinking about it, she posted this video online. Not long after, Zhang Ruyue's video had over 10,000 views!
Although it is only ten thousand, it is much better than the previous few hundred or dozens.
Just follow the pictures, it really works!!
Zhang Ruyue shared this with the internet celebrity in surprise, but the internet celebrity said nothing and just shared a new photo.
This time it was about eating. Zhang Ruyue had to drink a jar of gray liquid. Zhang Ruyue had never eaten such a disgusting thing.
But this time something even more exaggerated happened.
Everyone commented that Zhang Ruyue’s eating habits were so beautiful and real, and they loved it.
This time the number of views exceeded 100,000, and Zhang Ruyue gained more than a thousand fans.
Zhang Ruyue began to look forward to the next task.
However, the subsequent tasks developed in areas that Zhang Ruyue found difficult to accept.
Until the last time... the photo showed Zhang Ruyue strangling a stray cat in the community.
Zhang Ruyue has seen this cat many times. She often brings sausages to play with it. It is very cute, with orange and white interwoven together, and light blue eyes.
Zhang Ruyue couldn't bring herself to do it.
In fact, isn’t it okay not to imitate some photos?
But this time... Zhang Ruyue received a warning from the internet celebrity on her phone.
Don't stop, otherwise it will be harder next time.
It will be harder next time, but how hard can it be? Besides... every mission is getting harder and harder.
Zhang Ruyue didn't take it seriously, but the next day, as soon as she went out, her pupils suddenly shrank.
The cat she often fed died at her doorstep.
"ah!"
The neighbors around were attracted by her scream. They walked out of the door and pointed at Zhang Ruyue.
She returned home and looked at herself in the mirror.
Hair grew on her body , six whiskers grew on her cheeks, her philtrum became prominent, and her pupils became erect.
"ah!!!"
Zhang Ruyue screamed, and her phone also received a message from the "Internet celebrity".
"You can't change the ending in the photo. All you have to do is accept it."
And Zhang Ruyue received another photo.
This time she was abusing another cat.
Zhang Ruyue had no way to resist.
She could only complete the tasks in the photos by herself.
After completing the task, she returned to her original state and became what people saw as a cat angel.
If she doesn't complete the content in the photo, not only will she not be able to avoid the consequences of the photo, but it will also backfire on her.
But on the contrary, if Zhang Ruyue acts according to the behavior in the photo, then no matter how negative the things she does are, they will become positive in the eyes of outsiders.
This is like a predetermined result, it depends on whether Zhang Ruyue will pick the fruit.
Zhang Ruyue recovered from the aftermath of killing the cat and the unreality of her sudden popularity. Since it was the same result, Zhang Ruyue no longer worried about it. She was not the murderer, she was just being manipulated.
She gradually got used to this kind of life, this life that was isolated from the world.
Until yesterday.
So what is the mission this time?
Zhang Ruyue opened the dialog box, and as expected, this time Zhang Ruyue saw the photo again.
But this time... Zhang Ruyue felt a chill all over her body.
The phone suddenly fell to the ground, and Zhang Ruyue also fell to the ground, looking at the picture on the phone, terrified -
In the photo, Zhang Ruyue was hanging from the ceiling, her hair scattered and she was looking at the camera with horror. She was wearing a snow-white dress and looked extremely beautiful.
This photo will definitely go viral once it’s released.
But this time...why is it me?
Why?
A line of tears flowed from Zhang Ruyue's eyes, and then she burst into tears.
Only now did she realize—
This is a trap.
She regretted it.
…
…
"Save me, sister, I regret it, I'm going to die."
"Please, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
The room was pitch black. Zhang Ruyue was crying and asking for help on the phone. She held the phone in her hand, curled up on the bed, and looked around in horror.
Sure enough... everything in the photo will come true.
The photo shows this room. Zhang Ruyue was trapped in this room. Outside the window and the door, there were rooms connected to each other.
She had rescued a police officer, but for some reason, no one believed her or what she had experienced.
She didn't know who to turn to for help now, and only her sister believed her.
"Sister, where are you now? Wait for me, wait for me!"
The light from the cell phone illuminated Zhang Ruyue's pale face. The sharp knife in her hand could not give her any sense of security. She did not want to die, she wanted to live.
But...can she really do it?
"ah!!"
A violent scream came from Zhang Ruyue's throat, and she was thrown hard against the wall. She was dragged by her feet and slammed on the bed again and again.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Zhang Ruyue held the knife tightly in her hand, but the knife was useless. She collapsed on the bed, looking at the empty surroundings in horror.
Ghost, it’s a ghost!
"Sister, what's wrong with you, sister! Sister!"
"I'll be there right away, right away!"
Save...me.
Zhang Ruyue's snot and tears mixed together, and her blurry eyes seemed to see a figure gradually approaching.
Don’t…don’t…
Zhang Ruyue moved her body like a worm, but the effect was minimal. She waved the knife in her hand, but nothing happened.
"Well."
A rope was strangled around her neck, and the next moment, a huge force came down on her, but there was nothing in front of her.
Her legs kicked weakly and her eyes gradually turned white, but she had not given up and was gasping for breath with all her might.
She doesn't want to die, she doesn't want to die...
Uh, uh, uh…
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening was heard, and the strange force that was strangling her throat suddenly disappeared. Zhang Ruyue gasped greedily, and looked at her sister standing at the door with a look of relief.
"Sister...sister! How did you get into this state, sister!"
The younger sister rushed to Zhang Ruyue and helped her up. Zhang Ruyue held the knife tightly in her hand and leaned on her younger sister's shoulder.
My sister is here... My sister is here.
"Sister, tell me, what exactly happened?!"
"Sister, I don't want to die. I really don't want to die."
A line of tears flowed from Zhang Ruyue's eyes. She could no longer see her sister's face. She choked and finally touched her sister's face.
"It's okay, sister. I'm here. I'll protect you. I've called the police and they'll be here soon."
"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer."
"Come, sister, I'll carry you."
The younger sister picked up her older sister, and Zhang Ruyue curled up in her sister's arms, feeling a little safe.
"It's okay, it's okay... The police will be here soon, very soon..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
The rope was tightened around my sister's neck. She struggled and was dragged. Her eyes rolled up and she looked at Zhang Ruyue in disbelief.
Zhang Ruyue tied the rope with all her strength. Her hands were shaking, but she did not let go.
She doesn't want to die, doesn't want to die...
One second, five seconds, ten seconds, one minute...
Zhang Ruyue didn't let go of her sister's hand until she stopped breathing and died with her eyes open. Then she staggered into the room, took out the carefully prepared white dress, and put it on her sister with great effort.
Then, he used a knife to cut off the mole on his sister's face, and then stuck the bloody mole on his own face.
Finally, he lifted her up with great effort and hung her on the ceiling, then compared her posture with the photos and adjusted her posture.
“Crack.”
Zhang Ruyue reproduced the scene exactly as in the photo.
"I'm saved. I'm saved."
She really doesn't want to die.
Zhang Ruyue fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and then looked at her sister with an apologetic look.
She doesn't want to die.
Only my sister can complete this photo.
