Chapter 001 Invitation from Hell
Qian Cangyi had never felt that danger was so close to him. After being woken up by the alarm clock in the morning, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was actually the neighbor's tiger striped kitten. It was just a corpse, and it was hanging on the
on the ceiling.
The dead cat's lifeless eyes reflected Qian Cangyi's tired face, because he had a weird and terrifying nightmare last night. He had a very regular schedule and had no bad habits. He basically didn't dream at night, even if he did.
If he had a dream, he would forget it quickly, but he remembered last night's nightmare clearly.
It was a desolate and remote mountain village with no electricity or Internet, and almost no contact with the outside world. In his dream, he was fleeing in such a mountain village in the middle of the night. The sky was covered with dark clouds and there was no light in the entire village.
It's not an exaggeration to describe it as being blind. He didn't know why he wanted to run away, but he knew that if he didn't run, he would definitely die!
And he spent the entire nightmare in unknown fear.
It didn't take him much time to dispose of the dead cat's body. It should have been a topic of after-dinner chat, but it was covered up because both parties chose to remain silent. Since the other party did not hold the responsibility accountable, Qiangura Yi naturally would not make a big deal about it.
After the matter was settled, he opened his inbox and clicked on the strange email from last night.
The background is a remote village, the dim tone makes people extremely uncomfortable, and the content of the letter only contains two simple words, death sacrifice.
No matter how many times he read it, Qian Cangyi couldn't figure out what this letter meant. If it was just a simple threat, then why was there a dead cat incident? If you have the ability to do such a thing, why waste time on it?
Plant something to scare yourself.
Since he can't think clearly, Qiangang Kazuo doesn't continue to waste time on it. He still has work to do. His job can be said to be easy or difficult. He is mainly an analyst.
It doesn’t matter what an analyst is, or whether the profession is legal or not. What matters is the content of his work. Whether it’s family conflicts or school violence, or economic crimes and psychological counseling, he answers them all and gives evidence.
Advice and answers for his cognitive level.
So how to charge?
The main source is the remuneration paid by the customer after the matter is resolved, while the guarantee, that is, the meal money, depends on the fixed fee for consultation, which is equivalent to the registration fee for seeing a doctor.
To put it bluntly, it is deception, but it is just a certain level of deception.
Just as he was checking to see if there were any cases worth taking, he received a text message, which told him to wait for a bus at a nearby bus stop in an hour.
What concerned Qian Cangyi was that there was no sender in this text message.
That’s it again!
Qian Cang pursed his lips, and put on a serious face every time he encountered something he couldn't understand.
"Do you want to go? Let's wait and see. After all, the dead cat did happen. If there is something fishy, then if you don't go, won't you miss it? On the contrary, if you go and nothing happens, then what?
Doesn’t it prove that this is just some advanced prank?”
In the end, Qian Cangyi chose to go.
After tidying up his appearance a little and throwing on a jacket, he set off. The bus stop he went to was not remote, and he was a big man, so he was not afraid at all.
But when he got there, the situation was different from what he had imagined. He was the only one in a place that should have been crowded with people. You know, it was one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was cloudless and blue.
It was a strange scene, but when he stood in front of the bus stop, he didn't see a single person or a car passing by.
"Something's wrong! Get out of here!" He knew that things were not simple, but at this moment he was being controlled like a marionette.
His body was pulled by a strange force. Under the control of this force, he walked to the bench and sat down. If anyone saw his actions, they would definitely not have any extra thoughts, as if this was originally Qian Cang.
What you want to do is the same.
But no! He obviously wants to leave here!
Qian Cangyi never thought that he would have such a day. He was clearly under the sun, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth. It was as if his body was filled with coldness and he was just a puppet.
Now, the only thing to be thankful for is that Qian Cangyi is not crazy yet, and his brain can still think. In his mind, if anyone else can save him, then this person can only be himself.
"The time...the time mentioned in the text message is about five minutes away. What will happen then? My body can't move at all now, not even a toe, but I can still breathe. Maybe it's the muscles.
Relaxant? No, I'm sitting on a bench, and I haven't met anyone or eaten anything before, so this inference doesn't work."
Although Qian Cangyi has worked very hard, there is still no good solution, and time passes like this minute by minute until the pointer points to the agreed time.
Sure enough, a bus came to Qian Cangyi, but this bus also looked a little weird. First of all, its windows were all blacked out, and you couldn't see what was going on inside at all from the outside. The side of the bus looked like a
A promotional poster with two large blood-red characters of "Death Sacrifice" written in the center of the poster.
"This?" When he saw these two words, Qian Cangyi suddenly understood the strange email. It was an invitation letter, but the content was still unclear to Qian Cangyi.
Before he could carefully observe the background information of the poster, his body moved and walked towards the unsettling and strange bus. When he walked to the door of the bus, Qian Cangyi was surprised to find that he couldn't see what was inside. All he saw was a piece of
Pitch black.
However, when he walked into the bus, everything became different. The interior of the bus was spacious and the layout was not like an ordinary bus, but like his own living room. He could not see the scene outside the bus.
After the car door closed, Qian Cangyi found that he finally gained control of his body.
The first thing he did was to ask the driver to stop, but when he turned his attention to the driver, a feeling of fear from his heart occupied his brain, and he could not say a word.
The driver's appearance was not scary, because he had no appearance at all. A black raincoat covered his whole body, and there was only a blur of black mist and two scarlet eyes on his face.
For some reason, Qian Cangyi chose to give up. He sat in his seat with a dull expression. There was a table in the center of the car and a manual on the table.
This manual caught Qian Cangyi's attention because his name was written on the cover of the manual. However, when his hand just touched the manual, the manual seemed to be alive, turning into an unknown liquid and entering his body.
Drill.
All this happened too fast and suddenly. Before Qian Cangyi could make any move, it was all over. Just when Qian Cangyi felt whether there was something strange in his body, a stream of information came from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
When Qian Cang began to read the information in his mind, he withdrew his hand and fell into deep thought.
There was a lot of information, but Qian Cangyi found that there was very little content that he could read, and the rest of the content seemed to be blocked. Whenever he tried to recall that part of the content, it would always be replaced by other things, as if he had deliberately avoided it.
Same thing.
"No matter, if there is really some kind of consciousness that stops me, then my direct exploration will have no effect." Qian Cangyi ignored the content that he couldn't read and began to understand the content that could be read.
The part he can read is like the introduction of a movie. The name of the movie is very familiar to Qian Cangyi. To be precise, he is very familiar with it after experiencing the past two days, because the name of the movie is "Death Sacrifice". These two
The words have been lingering in Qian Cangyi's mind recently. At first he was just puzzled, but now when he saw these two words again, he felt a little scared.
What does "death sacrifice" mean? To commemorate death? Why would the living commemorate death, and why death itself can be commemorated? Qian Cangyi didn't quite understand. He thought it might be some strange custom.
Continuing to look down, Qian Cangyi saw the actor's information. He saw his name, and the three characters Shi Haimin were written in front of his name.
"Is this the role I play? Could it be that I am an actor? But why do I do this? Putting aside considerations such as acting skills, why would I make a movie if I have this ability? And I didn't see the camera. In addition, even if
Once this movie is made, it will be impossible to show it, unless..."
Yes, Qiangangura suddenly thought of a possibility. Maybe, this movie called Death Sacrifice is not for humans to watch, but it is shown in the way of movie expressions, maybe just for humans to understand.
Continuing to read down, there is an introduction to the movie, but Qian Cang's expression became more serious after reading it, because he smelled the smell of death.
The character Shi Haimin he plays is a young man who comes from a remote village with strange traditions. The convenient life outside makes him reluctant to go back. His parents understand, but there is one thing that forces him to go back, and that is the village.
A death ceremony is held every twenty years. The last time he participated in the death ceremony, he was only six years old. He didn't understand anything and couldn't remember anything. However, his body seemed to remember the horror at that time. Every time he thought about it,
The word "death sacrifice" made his heart tremble.
"Death sacrifice, what exactly is it?" With questions in his mind, Qian Cangyi continued to look down.
Originally, Shi Haimin still didn't plan to go back. The first was the cost, and the second was the death ceremony itself. When he had that nightmare for several nights in a row, he knew that he would inevitably return to Yuxi Village to participate in the death ceremony.
, a death sacrifice that made him feel infinite fear.
At this point, the introduction is over. Although there is not much content, some things can still be analyzed. For example, the death ceremony has not started yet, which means that if he really wants to play Shi Hai as the manual says,
Min, then the extra time must be for him to find an escape or a solution, but why does he want to participate in the death ceremony? And why does he play the role of Shi Haimin?
Just when he was hesitating, the car suddenly stopped and the door opened. Qiangang stared at the door and found that it was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything. At this time, a man in sunglasses wearing a black windbreaker walked in.
, he saw someone in the car, and his expression changed slightly, but it was not obvious.
The man didn't pay much attention to Qian Cangyi. Under Qian Cangyi's gaze, he randomly found an empty seat and sat down.
"How many movies have you acted in?" the man suddenly asked a question.
Hearing this question, Qian Cangyi hesitated for a moment, trying to judge the other party's intentions.
"Is this your first time? Let me remind you, when making a movie, never reveal your true identity."
The man's instant judgment shocked Qian Cangyi, "Does this guy judge that I have never acted in such a strange movie just because I hesitated just now? Under normal circumstances, he would still doubt my unwillingness.
Are you going to reveal your own situation? His observation skills are so horribly sharp! Or is he just guessing?"
"Excuse me... Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" At this time, Qian Cangyi didn't feel embarrassed in his heart. He has always been a flexible person.
"What do newbies need to know? It's such a waste of time. If I have to tell everyone once, I might as well pretend to be a novice." The man in sunglasses said in a cold tone.
Seeing that Qian Cang looked unhappy, the man in sunglasses thought for a moment, then knocked on the table lightly, "Let's tell each other our names first, whether it's a real name or a pseudonym, it's a code name that can distinguish it from the identity in the movie! You
Just call me Eagle Eyes, Eagle Eyes." After the man with sunglasses finished speaking, he took off his sunglasses.
Eagle Eye's face is very cold, his eyes are bright and his expression is very serious.
"Then call me Cang Yi, the Cang of the sky, the one of the number one." Qian Cang replied.
"I'll tell you the rest after you survive this movie, assuming we can meet again." After Hawkeye finished speaking, his hand began to reach forward, and then touched the manual that appeared on the table at some point.
.
"That manual! There was only one manual just now, but it disappeared after I touched it. Why did it appear again? Does the content of each manual differ? Then, if I touch all the manuals...wait, if it is true
"I can control all the manuals in my own hands as I want, so why doesn't Hawkeye do something similar?" Qian Cangyi thought in his heart.
Hawkeye glanced meaningfully at Qiancang, then put on his sunglasses and rested against the sofa.
Thirty minutes passed, and no one got on the bus during these thirty minutes. There were only Qian Cangyi and Yingyan in the car from beginning to end. Then, the bus stopped and the door opened.
Qian Cang looked at Eagle Eye and found that he was also moving.
"Get out of the car." Hawkeye didn't say much, and after finishing speaking, he got out of the car.
As soon as Qian Cang stood at the door of the car, it was still dark outside and he couldn't see anything.
Chapter completed!
