Chapter 4 Primer two

He Tong led the way, and the door of the funeral parlor was abnormally open.There was only one guard inside, and he dozed off with his eyes closed, without looking at the monitor screen. When the car stopped, Sun Liu took a deep breath, "Here, this is the crematorium in Liucheng, why are we here?" He Tong opened the car door and curled his lips, "Of course I'm listening to a play." "Listening to an opera?" Sun Liu was stunned for a while, "Your brain is showing off, come to the crematorium to listen to an opera!" "That's what's written on the wish list." He Tong took out the wish list before graduating from university that he brought with him, and handed it to Sun Liu, "Look for yourself, it's written on it, our last wish is to invite The buddies Liu Yu, Zhang Xu and Wang Xiaodong went to the crematorium to listen to the play, and they wrote clearly and clearly."

"But, why are there illogical and unhealthy wishes with distorted thoughts on the wish list?" Sun Liu shuddered, and she felt something was wrong. "Who knows, don't care so much. After I saw the wish list, I felt that I must complete it, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable, as if my pores could not breathe, and I was panicking." He Tong shook his head, "Call Liu Yu and the three of them. The three of them also found it very interesting and agreed." "Yes, we both agreed." The parking lot at the gate of the crematorium was deserted, only two cars were parked, and two people got out of the other car. They were Liu Yu and Wang Xiaodong.

Hearing Liu Yu's voice, Sun Liu trembled.Liu Yu has always been the object of her crush, but no one knows about it except her buddy He Tong.After graduating from university, Liu Yu and Xiao Hua went to a big city to develop, but their personalities did not match, and it is said that they returned to Liucheng not long ago. Seeing him again, Sun Liu felt that this handsome boy seemed a little strange.Society is indeed like a knife, it can literally grind away a person's character and turn him into another person. "Now there is a lot of pressure in work and life, and there are some exciting pastimes, so I should be counted as one of them." Wang Xiaodong grinningly dragged out a large backpack from the carriage, and carried it on his back.

"Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" He Tong asked in a low voice. Wang Xiaodong nodded, patted the travel bag on his back, "It's all packed." "That's all right!" He Tong glanced at the four of them with his big eyes, his eyes glowing with excitement in the darkness, "I've already inquired about it. Some time ago, a daughter of a wealthy family died, and that rich man hired a funeral parlor. Get ready for a play." She raised her hand and looked at her watch. The hour hand had passed eight o'clock, and it was a quarter past nine.In another half an hour, it will be 9:45 at night. According to the legend of Liucheng, this time period happens to be the day when the undead leave the world.

Zhang Xu was a little timid, "We won't be caught by sneaking over, right?" "How is it possible!" Wang Xiaodong is very clear about such things, "On the night of the private show, the entire crematorium and funeral home, except for one or two security guards, will all avoid it for some reason and will not stay in the funeral home. " "Why?" Sun Liu was a little curious. "You'll understand after you go to the theater." Wang Xiaodong had a mysterious look on his face. The parking lot was dark and many of the lights were off.Sun Liu felt that he had been to the crematorium before, but he didn't think it was as gloomy as tonight.

The five walked forward in the dark.The funeral home in Liucheng is located in the eastern outskirts of the city, about thirty kilometers away, very remote.Human beings are really ironic creatures. They represent places of death, but they are usually the most lucrative sectors. For example, crematoriums are very rich, and the salaries of employees are much higher than ordinary people. But dead money is not so easy to earn. He Tong led the way, and the door of the funeral parlor was abnormally open.There was only one security guard inside, who did not even look at the monitor screen, but dozed off with his eyes closed.

"It's called opening one eye and closing one eye, and it's a convention." Wang Xiaodong explained, "Generally, on nights when there is a show, the door of the funeral parlor will be opened to allow things that humans can't see to enter. And security, Absolutely don't look at the monitor, lest you see things that don't belong to the human world!" "So mysterious?" Liu Yu laughed. "This kind of thing is true or not. It's like the five of us who sneaked here to listen to the show." Wang Xiaodong said. "That's right." Liu Yu intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Sun Liu, and asked softly, "Xiao Liu, how are you doing recently?"

"It's pretty good." Sun Liu's heart skipped a beat. "How good is it? Have a boyfriend? Married?" Liu Yu asked again. "It's not that good either." Sun Liu shook his head. "Well, let's have a cup of coffee together when we have time." Liu Yu tentatively said, "Just, I'll follow you." Sun Liu's head was dizzy for a moment, what does this guy mean, did He Tong say that he likes him?No, my best friend in the university dormitory, although he is unreliable and often shows off his head, he is not the kind of guy who doesn't cover his mouth.

Strange, what does Liu Yu mean?Sun Liu thought a lot for a while, lowered his head, and hummed lightly. Liu Yu was overjoyed, "That's it. Tomorrow, at 5:30 p.m., we will catch up at the Peninsula Cafe." "Yes." Sun Liu blushed and nodded again. Only then did Liu Yu open the distance between the two of them in satisfaction.And the stage has arrived. As long as the funeral parlor spends money, it will build a stage for the client, which is said to be to save the dead.In fact, performing for the dead is very popular in customs all over the world. The stage was set up in the middle of the square of the funeral home. There was no one on the stage yet, but the lighting and sound were already in place.There are hundreds of tables and chairs under the stage, and the tables and chairs are full of cooked fruits and vegetables. Each table also has a bottle of red wine, white wine, and beverages.

The five secretly found the biggest protagonist under the stage, and got under the table. "The ostentation is really extraordinary, He Tong, who is that rich man you are talking about?" Zhang Xu felt very excited. Funeral parlors, empty theatres, banquets arranged according to the highest standards but not entertaining anyone, each of which can make people extremely excited. At this moment, the pressure of work and the burden of life are all overwhelmed by the strange environment and The terrifying atmosphere is completely crowded out. "It's Wang Gui from the Tiantian convenience store chain." He Tong replied.

"Wang Gui, wow, this is the richest man in Liucheng. No wonder!" Zhang Xu smacked his lips, "I heard that his daughter died very badly. She was kidnapped at a young age and became pregnant after being raped by the kidnappers. Wang Gui is afraid of shame. , did not let her daughter have an artificial abortion. As a result, when her daughter was in labor, she found a midwife to give birth at home. The daughter was weak, and suffered heavy bleeding, and the baby had an umbilical cord around her neck, and finally died a miserable death. How, when encountering birth, old age, sickness and death, you can't hide from it." The five chatted to pass the time, and half an hour passed quickly. In the dead silence outside, music came from the speakers.From the gap between the tables, no one in Sun Liu could just see every move on the stage. On the stage, two Sichuan opera singers came up, one black and one white, fighting back and forth with various weapons in their hands.The music is constantly changing tunes, and it looks extremely yin and yang, and it spreads to the ears, and the listeners feel chills all over their bodies. "It's so scary!" Sun Liu shuddered twice, "What's the point of these performances? They sound weird!" "Nonsense, this show is not for people to watch." Wang Xiaodong continued. "If you don't show it to people, do you want to show it to ghosts?" Zhang Xu asked. "That's right, congratulations on getting 10 points!" Wang Xiaodong nodded, "It's just for ghosts. The daughter of the Wang family died tragically. Mother and child died together. This kind of death is very taboo. It is said that it will revive the soul and harm your family, so Wang Gui paid a lot of money. Play a play, manage the passing ghosts, let them take their daughters and unborn children out of the mortal world, and reincarnate as soon as possible." "So that's how it is!" Zhang Xu understood. But Sun Liu became suspicious, "Xiaotong, I have never been able to figure out why there is a desire to go to the funeral parlor to listen to a play on our wish list? It doesn't fit my personality at all, and I don't remember it at all!" "Don't worry too much about it. The play was pretty good. We'll go back after watching it." He Tong tugged on his jacket nonchalantly. She felt that the surrounding area was getting colder and colder, and even her exhaled breath was clouded. Bai Wu couldn't help complaining: "This damn weather is really cold." "How could I not care!" Sun Liu turned his back on the stage, the Sichuan opera was over, and the two came up again to make a noise.The sound was obviously calm, but when it entered the ear canal, it became distorted.The line of dialogue between the two was very long, as if it had been tens of light years before it was received by me. This is simply too weird. "I'm a little scared." Sun Liu flinched from He Tong. "There's nothing to be afraid of." He Tong patted her on the back and comforted her.This heartless guy watched with relish, and occasionally reached out from under the table, groped for some snacks and cooked food, and handed them out to everyone. "If we do this, we won't suffer retribution, right?" Zhang Xu asked. "If there is retribution, it will be retribution if you just watch a show that only dead people can watch. Now we are at most adding to the crime!" He Tong said carelessly. There are many kinds of performances on the stage, but there is a strange phenomenon in all of them, that is, the voice is extremely low and hoarse, and it gets longer and longer, which makes people feel creepy. Sun Liu became even more frightened, and she said, "Let's leave early." "Let's go? Where are you going?" He Tong was still careless, listening to the opera with relish while eating.It's pretty good, and there's a local third-tier star. On the stage, the third-tier star was about twenty-six years old, holding a microphone, standing silently in the middle of the stage, singing his signature song weakly. The star is very beautiful, it is already late autumn, and the weather in Liucheng has dropped to more than ten degrees, but she is still wearing a thin black evening dress, with long hair hanging down, covering her face. "Her voice is so strange!" Zhang Xu plucked his ears with his fingers, "It's really uncomfortable for those who listen to it." Suddenly, Wang Xiaodong opened his eyes wide, and the eyeballs almost popped out, "That female star looks like Li He, right?" "What does it mean to look like Li He? She is obviously Li He!" He Tong doesn't follow stars, but Li He still knows. "But, but didn't Li He die two years ago?" Wang Xiaodong said loudly. The remaining four were cold at the same time. "Xiaodong, what ghost story are you telling, who are you trying to scare!" He Tong shuddered and cursed, "If Li He is dead, who is standing on the stage?" "How do I know! But Li He is indeed dead. She bought a sports car, ran on the highway, and got into a car accident." Wang Xiaodong said in fear. Liu Yu also nodded, "Although I'm out of town, I've heard the news. It is said that her head was cut off and flew out of the window." "It's so mysterious!" Zhang Xu rubbed his neck, "She's also a well-known mission in the local area. I haven't heard of twin sisters." "Forget it, let's go, something is not quite right." Wang Xiaodong said timidly. "Something's wrong, maybe there's just someone who looks like Li He on stage." He Tong shook his head, "I must finish watching this scene." Sun Liu glared at her, "Xiaotong, why is there a wish to attend a play at the funeral home on our wish list? No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out. We realized that wish list one by one two years ago. But, you and I have no memory of this wish, it's so unscientific! Anyway, I think it's a bit strange." He Tong pouted, "Although I don't remember clearly, but the wish list is written in black and white..." Before he could finish speaking, Li He on the stage sang a high-pitched voice, so high that it was like a scream. In this silent funeral parlor, the sharp scream pierced into the ears of five people like a sharp knife. , Their heads were about to explode. The five of them covered their ears vigorously. At this moment, Li He shook his head. Because of the excessive force, the long-haired head fell off like this, rolled on the ground, and finally rolled into the below the main seat. Li He's head rolled between the five of them, and Sun Liu and the others screamed, almost fainting from fright. In the cascading long hair of the starlet who died two years ago, two big cold eyes were opened, staring at them without blinking. Liu Yu, Wang Xiaodong, and Zhang Xu are boys with great strength. When they stand up excitedly, they will flip the main seat away.The food, melons, fruits and drinks on the table "crackled" to the ground. "Run, run away. Damn it, what's going on!" Zhang Xu cursed, turned around and was about to run away. But the "running" behavior of the five people stopped immediately. They opened their mouths wide, their whole bodies trembling non-stop, and they were so frightened that they could no longer move. In front of him, there were hundreds of banquet tables that were empty at first, but someone sat there at some point.Densely packed with all kinds of people. Those people ate the food on the table and watched the show intently. After the main seat was lifted, the five people showed their figures. The crowd who hadn't noticed them at first moved their heads slowly and looked towards them... "Wow, help!" The carefree He Tong lost her temper, she yelled, and tugged at Sun Liu's hand. "Run away, hurry up!" Sun Liu took a deep breath, the guys beside them with dark faces and dry cheeks didn't look like normal people at all.The most frightening thing is that just now, I didn't hear anyone entering the theater to listen to the play, how could hundreds of people come out in the blink of an eye? Sun Liu felt that her head was not enough, she was so scared to death, she dragged her best friend and started running outside. The weirdos around them didn't stop them.With great difficulty, the five of them managed to escape from the stage and threw them to the gate of the funeral parlor. But the door that was originally opened closed at some point. The huge five-meter-high iron fence made Zhang Xu and the others terrified and at a loss. "Us, how should we escape? Climb the fence, get out?" Wang Xiaodong was trembling with fear. "Climb, if you can get out, what a fart." Zhang Xu looked at the top of the five-meter-high iron gate, which was still pulling the barbed wire, and almost cried. "Damn it, what the hell is going on here, have we gone to hell?" He Tong shrank his head and asked. "I don't know, damn it, if I know that this kind of thing will happen, I won't come back if I die." Wang Xiaodong complained. He glanced back, only to see the stage in the distance, still clearly visible.The people sitting at more than a hundred tables in front of the stage also looked back at them, with the same gloomy and lifeless eyes, staring straight at them without blinking. Wang Xiaodong suddenly became even more frightened, "Do you feel that those people have increased again? When they escaped just now, there were only a hundred or so, but now every table is full... Is this my illusion?" "You read that right." Sun Liu also looked over, and immediately said with tears: "Those people have really increased. We must have encountered dirty things. Xiaotong, I just said don't come to this kind of ghost place." "It's all over now, the most important thing is to escape." He Tong's rough nerves have an advantage, that is, they haven't been scared yet. Wang Xiaodong also looked at the stage. He didn't know what he saw, and his face changed drastically: "Liu Yu, we have always been best friends, right?" "That's right, what time is it, and you still say such inexplicable things." Liu Yu was already frightened, and he gave Wang Xiaodong a look. Wang Xiaodong stammered and said, "Look at the posthumous photos on the stage! That's Miss Wang's time. The daughter of the richest man in Liucheng, isn't Miss Wang your ex-girlfriend! Two years ago, she was raped and became pregnant. , you immediately abandoned her and went to the provincial capital." Liu Yu shuddered and shouted, "Stop talking." "How could you not say it! I think it's all retribution. Ms. Wang came to us. Otherwise, why would the person who died two years ago do something now and set up a stage!" Wang Xiaodong grabbed his clothes. "What are you talking about!" He Tong glanced at the stage, and saw that the pale portrait of Miss Wang was placed in the most obvious place on the stage. It was so big that even if it was far away from the gate of the funeral parlor, it could be seen clearly The resentment and hatred in Miss Wang's eyes. The slightly cracked smile and the exposed white teeth appeared vivid in the darkness, as if she would walk down from the portrait at any time, bite their necks and eat them up. He Tong felt chills all over his body, and he didn't dare to continue watching. "That's right, that Miss Wang's death has nothing to do with me." Liu Yu still insisted. "Of course it has something to do with it. It has a lot to do with it. I heard everything, but as a buddy, I've always kept it secret for you." Wang Xiaodong pulled Liu Yu's collar tighter, "You found someone richer in the provincial capital. But Ms. Wang refused to break up with you, and threatened to expose all your dirty things, so you bribed some hooligans, kidnapped and raped her, and you used the excuse of her messing around with pregnancy to successfully get Ms. Wang Dumped, went to a big city, and headed for a better future." These words surprised everyone, Sun Liu looked at Liu Yu's handsome profile in disbelief. "You, you slander me!" Liu Yu opened Wang Xiaodong's hand, "It's a pity that I still treat you as a lifelong buddy. Who did you take advantage of to slander me with such idiotic lies?" "Why am I slandering you? You're a scum!" Wang Xiaodong suddenly knelt down towards the stage, "Miss Wang is my fault. I knew the truth and hid it for that scum in the end, but I don't deserve to die!" Sun Liu looked down at the hysterical Wang Xiaodong, the ashen-faced Liu Yu, and her best friend. She always felt that something was wrong. She tried hard to think, but it felt like the memory had been sucked by a vacuum cleaner, and she could never recall it. Suddenly, there was a violent sound behind him, and the portrait on the stage fell down inexplicably, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces.It was like a signal. At the same time, the strange people who were eating and drinking at the table also stood up. Those people still looked at Sun Liu and the others without blinking, and walked towards them slowly. He Tong screamed again, "They are coming, let's run away!" While screaming, she climbed up the fence regardless of everything, and couldn't find another way out. The others had no choice but to follow her example and climb up one by one. Sun Liu's head turned upside down and kept running.The wish list that He Tong found out suddenly, and the best buddies in college also got together because of this list.In order to fulfill the wish on the list, I sneaked to the funeral parlor to listen to the play, but what I saw was the ceremony of Miss Wang who died two years ago... How can there be so many coincidences? There must be something wrong with this link.Could it be that memory that I can't remember no matter how I think about it? Before she could figure it out, hundreds of strange people had already rushed over like a tide, standing under them like zombies.Those people's eyes were empty, and those people's skin was dim and bloodless. Those people are definitely not human. This was Sun Liu's last thought in his short life. In the empty funeral parlor, only the quiet and empty stage was recorded on the monitor, and five cold corpses under the stage! The fallen portrait still had a gloomy atmosphere, but Miss Wang's terrifying eyes were closed forever.
