23, Chapter 23(1/2)
Recently, the news that major forums and Weibo in Beijing has been very popular is that a super terrifying haunted house has been opened in the suburbs of Beijing.
Although this haunted house has not been open for business, it is very famous. The venue has been around for many years. The owner of the house has suddenly died in the house. The background sounds gloomy.
In fact, when the haunted house first opened, it didn't really attract much attention. Although the major marketing accounts on the Internet were highly promoted, after all, in such a large capital city, there are many fun things, and this kind of equipment that is available in ordinary amusement parks cannot really attract many young people.
But the series of events that followed were unexpected. First, the haunted house was open and suddenly announced to be closed for rectification. Everyone thought it was because the fire security check or business license was not up to standard, but then the news came out. The reason for the shutdown and rectification was that a customer was scared to illness after entering. The patient's family had an amazing wealth, which made the family angry and the culprit vent their anger.
This incident immediately became very eye-catching. Many young people in the local area forwarded the news and sighed that what kind of haunted house was actually so scary that it scared everyone.
Someone who had been here came to say that the haunted house was really different. It was completely different from the joking haunted house in the amusement park. The atmosphere was very cunning. Several girls even said that when they were halfway through, they felt a cool touch on their faces, as if they were gently touched by something, but after careful observation, there was clearly nothing around them.
Because this kind of remarks is too weird, naturally some people who don’t believe it sneered at it, thinking that this is the child care that the haunted house invites to promote.
This speculation has become more evidence after the haunted house was closed and rectified for a period of time and was reopened again. In addition, the haunted house has also been replaced with a brand new sign and has been renamed Taicang Haunted House. Some people say let's see, it's really building momentum for themselves.
But there are also many attractive customers. Young people who go shopping and dance all day long want to seek excitement. Many want to witness with their own eyes what is magical about this haunted house that scares the rich second generation. There are also many online bloggers who try to personally expose the unscrupulous merchants' exaggerated publicity for hype.
But the latest updates from these people have changed from eager to try: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Damn it!!! It's so bad!!!"
"Fuck! A bloody head suddenly fell to my feet! His mother blinked and looked at me and smiled!!! I went to grab the air with one hand, but it was still there. What kind of fuck is this god prop? Is this holographic projection?!"
"Damn... the moment I walked out of the haunted house, the sun was so beautiful."
"The legs were so scared... There was a female ghost inside who had really good acting skills. She fell directly in front of me from the ceiling, without using a buffer pad. She didn't know what props were stuffed into her mouth, and her tongue suddenly became longer than my arms..."
"Kneel down! Which company did this Taicang haunted house develop? It's completely different from the fake haunted house in the amusement park!"
"It's exciting to knock!! I'll bring my friends to play again! I haven't encountered such an interesting project in a long time!"
"A ticket for three hundred yuan is not expensive at all! I don't know how much the haunted house has been invested, and it's so well-made! The staff who appeared throughout the process are all projectors and can interact with you, just like they are really in front of you! I've never seen such a realistic projector!"
By word of mouth, local young people in Beijing immediately started to promote this haunted house. The haunted house in the suburbs of Beijing was filled with tourists and truly became an adventure holy place in the eyes of young people.
Huang Jue browsed the circle of friends of his ex-girlfriend who went to the haunted house to explore at the class reunion. After sneeringly giving the nine-grid selfie, he suddenly felt a little familiar. He couldn't help but ask the old classmate: "What kind of haunted house is the one who got sick after Ruan Shixing went there before? Didn't he hear that his family had closed down and rectified the business, why did it reopen again?"
After all, after graduation for a long time, I don’t walk much, and my old classmate doesn’t know much about the inside story. He smiled and guessed: “I guess it’s just a joke. Do you really believe that he will get sick after going to the haunted house? It must be that this haunted house is just hyping up his name, and he hasn’t even mentioned his name.”
"Is Ruan Shixing sick? Is it serious?" Another classmate came over with concern when he heard their discussion, and knew nothing about the matter.
Huang Jue nodded: "Yes, I've been sick, but the symptoms are that I can't sleep well on the bed and add auditory hallucinations, which is probably not very serious."
The man was surprised: "This is not serious yet? Could it be that he bumped into a dirty thing, right?"
Huang Jue waved his hand: "What kind of dirty thing is probably too much pressure. What's more, you don't know who Ruan Shixing is. He, a party member, never believes in these things."
As he finished speaking, a figure came in at the door. Ruan Shixing walked in with an elite look in suit and tie: "I heard my name from afar, and I was talking bad things about me collectively, right?"
The old classmates laughed wildly when they saw him. At this time, the classmate looked at Huang Jue more and said with some concern: "Don't talk about him, look at yourself, why are you so bad in your face? Aren't you who exercise every day?"
Huang Jue was a roommate with Ruan Shixing in college. The two of them greeted each other intimately and then smiled bitterly: "Oh, I'm about the same as him. Maybe I'm under too much pressure recently. I always dream of some strange things in my dreams. Someone was crying in front of me, and my girlfriend also said that she was going to get married and bought the wedding house, but suddenly broke up again. Oh, forget it, I won't say it anymore, what's the use of saying so much."
When he finished speaking, Ruan Shixing stood in front of him and asked with bright eyes: "Are you saying true?"
Huang Jue didn't understand why, and smiled awkwardly: "It's just a small problem, just like yours before. Maybe this troubles are gone."
Unexpectedly, when Ruan Shixing heard the words, his expression became more serious, and he even pulled a chair to sit next to him. Huang Jue became even more nervous, thinking that the other party was dissatisfied because he said things too mysteriously. After all, Ruan Shixing was a bit materialistic. When he lived in the dormitory, he often seemed very disdainful when he mentioned various mysterious legends in the school at night.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Shixing put one hand on his shoulder and opened his mouth, "Lao Lao, some things are small, but they cannot be taken lightly."
Huang Jue: "?"
Then Ruan Shixing put out his wallet from his pocket, took out a business card and handed it over: "I know a master and I am very knowledgeable about this. Do you want to take you to see him?"
Huang Jue: "..."
Ruan Shixing added: "It is very good to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts."
The entire class reunion scene was silent.
***
Ruan Shixing was a little nervous when he found the Wei family with his old classmate with a dazed face. After he returned, he recovered from illness for a few days. Apart from his psychological shadow, he never had any dreams that made him sleep poorly. This change was even the family who had been completely materialistic by his ancestors. He also followed the wind to burn two incense sticks in the temple, let alone himself, who had personally experienced the haunted house to exorcise evil spirits.
He doesn’t feel very heartbroken about money. Compared with normal life, what can money compare to?
Ka, he still felt it was hot, mainly because he didn't know why he always thought of Wei Xi recently, but he just thought about it, but he had no real reason to come to find someone.
Fortunately, Huang Jue encountered at the class reunion solved this problem for him.
Huang Jue is still confused: "Old, boss, what's wrong with you? Are you not a party member? Why are you starting to believe in these strange powers and magical things now?"
"What's wrong with the party member?" Ruan Shixing was righteous, "It doesn't involve religious beliefs, let alone you know that this is a strange power and magical spirit? What's the gift given by applying for a card? Are you talking nonsense?"
Huang Jue: "...what do you give me?"
"Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxism" is based on social science!"
Huang Jue felt sweaty and felt that the more he listened, the more he heard it, the less reliable it became.
This unreliable feeling reached its peak when I stood outside the gate of the Weijiayuan.
The lawn in the courtyard inside had been cleaned up, and the digging soil was piled up next to it. A husky covered in mud rolled happily in the mud pile with his tongue shaking his tongue. The whole yard was in a mess. If it weren't for the house in front, it would have looked like it was still being renovated.
The three words Taicang Zong of the company are powerful and powerful, but unfortunately they are written on a strange wooden board and are casually hung at the entrance of the courtyard. Huang Jue looked at the wooden board carefully, and the more he looked, the more he looked like a door with a handle removed.
Ruan Shixing rang the doorbell, and a moment later, a cold male voice as cold as water came out of the speakers: "Who?"
Ruan Shixing asked: "Is this Taicang Sect?"
The male voice paused for a moment, raised his voice and shouted: "Dad, it's your turn."
Then there was a vague and noisy curse. After a moment, the backyard door opened, a man who looked like a housekeeper ran out while wiping his sweat, while another middle-aged man wearing sunglasses stood behind him angrily.
Huang Jue: "..."
It’s really not that he is suspicious, this company does look very wrong!
***
Wei Xi carried his bamboo basket downstairs and saw Ruan Shixing sitting in the living room with a young man, Wei Tianyi sitting on the separate sofa next to them, holding his arms, looking very dissatisfied.
He was not surprised at all, his eyes swept away from the strange young man, and he shouted, "Wanrong!"
Shu Wanrong slowly came out of the corner, her hairstyle was perfect, she slapped a Hermes platinum on her hand, and her eyes were very hesitant: "Xiaoxi, I made an appointment with someone to do a spa..."
"You take a small red bundle inside, and after opening it, sprinkle the soil inside evenly on the soil outside the courtyard." Wei Xi ignored it and handed over the bamboo basket, "I will finish your part before going."
Shu Wanrong: “…”
Wei Tianyi looked dark and wanted to curse. In the end, Wei Chengshu went forward silently to take over. When he got the hand, he was staggered and called Mr. Zhou and two aunts to barely drag the basket out.
Wei Xi admired him very much and said to the second disciple behind him: "This is the most diligent disciple in our sect."
Shuo Zong: "..."
Even though he was silent, his eyes followed the strange smell in the basket. The smell was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a moment.
It was the first time Ruan Shixing and Huang Jue saw a woman carrying Hermes tow bamboo baskets. They were stunned for a while, and then they heard Wei Xi ask, "Are you looking for me?"
Ruan Shixing came to his senses and was at a loss when facing him. He coughed and nodded and said yes. His eyes turned to the young man who was so beautiful that he was a little distorted behind Wei Xi, and he was stunned: "Huh? Lu Que? Why are you here too?"
Shuo Zong glanced at his slightly red ears and ignored this person.
It was still very friendly. After explaining his relationship with his second apprentice, he glanced at the table and looked at Wei Tianyi: "Why don't you even have tea, fruits and vegetables?"
Wei Tianyi's face turned completely dark, and Ruan Shixing waved his hand embarrassedly: "No, no, my uncle is very nice to us and has asked Mr. Zhou to pour us tea."
Wei Xi was a little dissatisfied with Wei Tianyi's passive slack work, but when he saw that the guests had no objection, he sat down. After sitting down, he glanced at the two of them, and finally settled on Huang Jue's face with an awkward look: "After that, what happened?"
Huang Jue still didn't believe this in his heart, not to mention that the Taicang Sect that Ruan Shixing brought him was strange. A young master came out and looked even less reliable than an ordinary temple, so he was a little resistant. However, he was still surprised that the other party could see at a glance that he was looking for help. He smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Maybe it's because of too much mental pressure recently and he can't sleep well."
Wei Xi didn't say anything. He took the tea handed over by Butler Zhou and took a sip. He looked at him with ease, and suddenly asked, "Are you applying for a card?"
Huang Jue thought he would say something that pretended to be a ghost to lobby him. When he heard such a salesperson with a sense of life, he was stunned: "What?"
Wei Xi explained: "Single card and single person, the discount cannot be given to you."
"..." Huang Jue didn't know what to say speechlessly, and always felt that he had come to a chain hair salon. After seeing the appearance of Wei Xi and his two apprentices, especially the apprentice named Lu Que, the sense of dislocation became even worse. He replied ashamedly: "No, no need."
"Oh." Wei Xi looked a little disappointed, but his attitude was a little lazy. "Your family has at least three evil spirits, it's not cheap to drive them away, are you sure?"
Huang Jue was originally so troubled that he wanted to leave, but when he heard this, he was shocked all over and slowly turned his head: "What are you... what are you saying? What are three?"
Wei Xi: "A ghost, have you never counted it in your dream?"
In an instant, all sweat came out of Huang Jue's body, and the sweat beads on his temples flowed down like a faucet. He heard the sound of his saliva swallowing and asked tremblingly: "How did you...how did you know?"
Dreams that disturb him from sleeping are usually alone, but sometimes they appear collectively. He once recorded the details of his dreams after waking up, and at most, three of them did appear. But he never mentioned this to anyone.
When Huang Jue came, his thoughts about the liar were instantly wiped out, and he started to fight wildly in his heart. Could it be that there was such an evil thing? Even if he calculated three, if he guessed it, he would be too accurate, right?
Wei Xi didn't understand his shock at all: "What's wrong with this? Did you move into a new home a month ago? Is it the dream that happened after that?"
When Huang Jue heard this, his whole body was immediately soaked in cold sweat. He sat up carefully: "You, you are right. I planned to marry my girlfriend recently, but the house in Beijing is too expensive and I can't afford it. A relative at home took care of me and sold me a school district house. I just renovated it and moved in last month."
This school district house is still a very good school district, and the selling price is nearly one-third lower than the market price. The relative said that he originally planned to buy a wedding house for his son, and Huang Jue and his parents were very grateful to each other.
The moving ceremony was also very simple. In addition to his girlfriend and parents, even Ruan Shixing, who had the best relationship with his classmates, had never notified him.
Huang Jue was completely convinced. This was not something that could be guessed. Therefore, his eyes at Wei Xi changed suddenly, just like looking at a life-saving straw. After all, it was impossible to sleep well for more than a month, and no one could hold on.
He asked tremblingly: "Master, since you can calculate it, can you solve it?"
The master still looked like he had first met, but in Huang Jue's eyes at this time, the unreliable image of the other party had become a sacred and cold flower of Gaoling. The flower of Gaoling looked at him, with a look of disdain and slowly spoke-
"Is there a card gift?"
