Chapter 213: The Curse Inside the Statue
The wind and rain are at the beginning of the break, and the clouds are cleared.
Ephelia wore only a blanket over her body, outlining her graceful curves.
With delicate beads of sweat on her forehead, Ephelia rolled over and picked up her phone from the bedside, and retracted back into Sure's arms.
"Sue, let me show you the wonderful moments I encountered when I was filming in Peru. ”
For a moment, Ephelia was like a little girl, pouring out her joy to Sure.
When I opened the album, there were pictures, local customs, gorgeous scenery, and silhouettes between the crew.
As he swiped, Ephelia chattered, his body moving from time to time, which stimulated the rekindling of the Su Lei flame.
"Don't move. ”
Reaching out and touching something, Ephelia gave Su Lei a coquettish look.
"Look, this is the temple where we bought the idols. ”
A slender finger clicks on a picture, and an old temple comes into view.
The temple is blue-black in color, made of marble throughout, and the exterior is covered with ribbons of various colors to pray for blessings.
From the polished stones, the history of the temple is quite ancient.
The temple is surrounded by stalls and people dressed in traditional local costumes.
"He's the sorcerer of the temple. ”
Ephelia pointed to a man.
Su Lei looked closely, and on the right side of the temple's gate, an old man was resting against a stone wall, surrounded by handicrafts.
He looks like he is in his 80s, wearing long sleeves in ephedra, and his gray hair is braided into strings of pigtails.
From the outside, there is nothing peculiar about it.
Su Lei's gaze fell on the statue of the god in the cabinet in the distance, which should be regarded as a consolation in the woman's heart.
Holding Ephilia in his arms again, Suray closed his eyes, "Go to sleep, I'm going to Nolan's house tomorrow." ”
"Wait, I haven't fed Elsa yet. ”
Ephelia struggled to sit up and walked to the door in her pajamas.
"I've contacted the pet store and ordered the best dog food. ”
......
"Nolan, be careful!"
His wife's shouting woke up the wandering Nolan.
"Nolan, you must be Alzheimer's, and you can get your hands scratched by cutlery. ”
The wife chattered and reached out to snatch the knife from Nolan's hand.
"Hiss~ The wrist was cut. ”
At this time, Nolan felt the pain, looked down, and found that the wrist was separated by a 2 cm cut by the dinner knife.
"What were you thinking?"
The wife complained, "Since you came back from abroad, this is what you look like, and you can't give up." ”
"Maybe it's too busy at work. ”
Nolan got up and let the servant bandage his wounds.
"When I finished making the film, I thought about taking a vacation. ”
Nolan didn't take this to heart, but looked at his wife with a happy face.
"We're going to Europe together, that's what I promise you. ”
"Don't speak, treat the wound first. ”
The wife smiled at first, and then straightened her face, "After the meal, go upstairs and have a good rest." ”
......
Late at night, the moon over the villa complex is obscured by dark clouds.
Tick – tick – tick –
Nolan fell asleep with deep tiredness, and the clock on the wall swayed.
Sand – Sand –
In the study, the double-faced figurines placed on the table slowly began to turn, and the patterns looked incomparably deep in the dark night.
Eventually, the two-faced figurine stopped turning, and the side with a weeping face turned outward.
And the direction, is exactly where Nolan's bedroom is!
......
The next day, Beverly Hills.
"Ephelia, do you think I need to buy some gifts?"
Su Lei dressed himself in the mirror and straightened the buttons on his cuffs.
I don't know much about the etiquette of visiting the West.
"No, you and Nolan are friends. ”
Epheria's voice came from the cloakroom, and then a beautiful figure lit up Sure's eyes.
Ephelia changed into a long black dress today, with lace on the edges, which was originally the figure of the clothes rack, combined with the long skirt, which looked glamorous.
"Am I pretty today?"
The woman waited for Sulei's compliment.
"You've always been beautiful. ”
It is impossible for Suray to make such a low-level mistake.
"Leave Aisha at home, we'll be back today. ”
Elsa's nest is on the edge of the bushes, and she only likes to live in this hidden environment at the moment.
Ephelia walked over to Elsa's nest and reached out to hug Elsa as she pounced.
"I'm sorry, baby, I'm going out today. ”
"Be good at home. ”
Patting Aisha's head, the two then went out.
Whew-
The car pulled out of the garage and disappeared into the street in the blink of an eye.
On the corner of the street, a man who looked like a cleaner saw Sulei's car leave.
He put down the tools in his hand and pulled out a mobile phone from his pocket.
"The owner of the house followed the Asian man and left ......"
After saying that, the man looked at the place where the car disappeared with some taste.
"Lucky man, are celebrities' private lives so messy? ”
......
"Okay, I got it. ”
In the villa, Nolan put down the phone with a strange expression.
"What's going on?"
Shaking his gauze-wrapped hand, Nolan's tone was full of incredulity.
"The assistant director told me just now that half of the crew had taken sick leave. ”
"The reason is that I ate all of them last night. ”
"What did they eat together?" asked the wife.
"No, that's what surprised me. ”
"I didn't eat together, but I ate bad stomach together. ”
"It's time for the Department of Health to clean up the hotels in Los Angeles. ”
Nolan shook his head helplessly, "Fortunately, there isn't much shooting work today." ”
As he spoke, a doorbell rang outside the door.
Through the camera, Nolan saw that the two Sulei were at the door.
"Hannah, our guests have arrived. ”
Nolan looked happy and said to his wife.
"This young man?"
Hannah had a curious look on her face, and from the outside, she didn't seem worthy of Nolan's invitation.
You must know that Nolan is an internationally renowned director, how many stars want to get the opportunity to be invited.
"He has a deep relationship with the investors and distributors of the film. ”
In the film industry, those talents are the real capital predators.
"Don't look at him young, but he deserves my friendship. ”
The door opened, and Nolan greeted the two with a smile on his face.
As everyone sat at the table, Nolan raised his glass to Suray.
"Sue, thank you again for helping to retrieve the master tape. ”
"It's a very simple thing, and it's for Philia. ”
Su Lei raised his glass and drank the red wine in the glass.
During the banquet, Su Lei's movements stopped, and his eyes were fixed on Nolan's face.
"Sue, what's the matter?"
Nolan knew the identity of Dr. Sulei and couldn't help touching his face.
"Forehead ......"
Su Lei looked back, organizing the language.
"Your hall, blackened. ”
"Blackened?"
"It's between your eyebrows. ”
"Ahem. Su Lei coughed dryly, "In my hometown, this sentence means that bad things will happen to you in the next few days. ”
The people who were eating hurriedly looked at Nolan's face.
Everyone watched, but Nolan was thoughtful.
"Sue, what you said is right, I have been very unlucky these days. ”
Raising his arm, "I was cut on the wrist by a dinner knife last night." ”
"And the people around me also had misfortunes, half of the employees in the crew today have diarrhea. ”
"Maybe I'm going to be going out less lately. ”
Nolan chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"Maybe it's a tanned abroad. ”
Hannah reassured.
Everyone laughed and continued to eat.
But after Nolan cut a steak with a knife, his expression suddenly changed.
Immediately after, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and Nolan's eyes rolled and his body twitched.
The fork in his hand was even more unstable, and what happened in an instant was when Hannah next to him couldn't react.
Nolan twitched and fell under the table.
And the fork in his hand did not loosen, and he took a piece with him.
Only then did Hannah find out, and hurriedly exclaimed, wanting to reach out to Lanoran.
Unfortunately, Hannah was a step too late, and Hannah could only watch the fork being pressed under Nolan.
Wrong!
At this angle, the fork is going to pierce directly into the heart!
Hannah suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and her body couldn't help but faint.
"Be careful, Nolan. ”
At this time, a figure appeared next to Nolan at a faster speed.
It was Sure, with a loaf of bread in his mouth.
At this time, he was talking indistinctly.
A strong arm dragged Nolan's chest and the fork was removed with the other.
But at this time, the crisis is only half over, and Nolan is still in a state of withdrawal.
Reaching out to open Nolan's eyelids, Suray shoved a napkin into Nolan's mouth to prevent biting his tongue.
The hand pressed on the neck for a while, and the pulse was steady.
But this state of unconscious convulsions ......
Sulei looked at Hannah, who was praying, and his eyes kept scanning Nolan.
Suddenly, Su Lei seemed to sense something, and looked at the back of Nolan's neck.
Pulling open his collar, Su Lei asked.
"Lady Hannah, is this pattern Nolan's long-standing tattoo?"
"No, Nolan was a Puritan, he never got a tattoo. ”
The pattern that appears on the back of Nolan's neck is an abstract human face.
The face looms, the corners of the mouth are up, and the eyes are down, as if crying but not crying.
If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
Whew-whe
As Nolan's breathing intensified, the pattern of the human face became clearer.
Su Lei could feel a magical aura from above.
Devouring Eyes, Open!
Suddenly, Nolan's situation fell into view.
This pattern is really weird!
In the field of vision, the face pattern shrinks and shrinks, stretching as if it is alive.
Nolan's life frantically converged on the pattern.
The face pattern also spreads, and black silk threads extend to Nolan's brain.
It seems that Nolan's sudden abnormality was caused by this pattern.
"Sue, where do I seem to have seen this pattern?"
Ephilia, who was comforting Lady Hannah, frowned and spoke.
Su Lei caressed the pattern on Nolan's neck with his hand, and the devouring power was quietly activated.
"Think about it. ”
At the same time, he said to Mrs. Hannah, "Don't worry, with me, Mr. Nolan will not be in danger." ”
The magic contained in the human face pattern is very small, and the strange thing is the ability to devour life.
However, under Su Lei's hands, the magic in the human face pattern was instantly devoured.
But after being devoured, the black aura that remained in Nolan's brain was still there.
Does this seem like some kind of curse?
Su Lei felt it carefully.
"Sue, I remember!"
At this time, Ephelia next to him exclaimed.
"I've seen this pattern on the statue of the god Nolan bought. ”
Ephelia remembers it very well, when in front of the temple stalls, the crew laughed at her for choosing the appearance of an alpaca.
"Lady Hannah, where is the idol?"
"He has been in the study since he came back yesterday, and the idol should be there. ”
Suray laid Nolan down flat, "You can feed him some water." ”
"I'm going to look for the idol. ”
If the curse really had something to do with the idols, Su Lei didn't dare let them find them.
In case of being infected, cursed.
Bang dang!
The door of the study was violently pushed open, and as Nolan's place of work, it was usually locked.
As soon as he opened the door, Su Lei saw the idol of the god on the table.
At this time, the color of the appearance of the idol is darker than yesterday, especially the crying face, which is much more concrete.
Reaching out to pick it up, Su Lei suddenly felt an eerie magic.
There's something going up in the palm of your hand.
