2039 Confusing the real with the fake
Nick noticed Lan Li's frightened and stunned expression, because it was too realistic and too vivid, it instantly made Nick's heart stiffen, the green tendons in his temples beat violently, banging against his head, pulling the meridians all over his body and beating together, the intense pulling feeling from the inside out made his breathing extremely rapid, with a strong hypoxia effect, and even the action of slowly turning his head was stiff like a robot-rusty robot.
What's going on?
What the hell is going on?
What did Lan Li see?
Nick felt that he was torturing himself: while his curiosity was fierce and agitated, fear and timidity began to roll inexorably, even to the level of fear, and his lips and fingertips had begun to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was afraid to face a ghost, on the one hand, telling himself that the ghost did not exist and there was no need to be afraid, and on the other hand, he was worried that the ghost would be scattered after it really appeared, and in the midst of such a contradictory emotion, he slowly turned his head to look behind him - there was an urge to close his eyes.
And then......
Nick was not the only one, because all the eyes on the scene were focused on Lan Li and Bryce, and those giggling laughter couldn't stop at all, and then one after another, many people noticed the change in Lan Li's expression: very delicate and detailed, no joke at all, and even the movements of the body muscles that were so stiff that they couldn't move their feet were so realistic that before they could capture Lan Li's frightened object, the tension slowly spread.
What's going on?
One by one, everyone turned their heads to look behind them, even Colin was no exception, fast or slow, brave or timid, direct or indirect, many people followed Lan Li's line of sight, but there were still a small number of people, because they were too scared to turn their heads, especially when more and more people turned their heads, they were left alone, that kind of loneliness further magnified the fear, and finally they could only close their eyes tightly, or simply cover their eyes with their hands, standing in place and almost crying.
What the...... Nothing!
The problem is, there's nothing!
Is it a super spider, or a bat nest, or a hornet's nest? Or is it a strange animal? This is a primeval jungle, and it is really normal for some wild animals to appear, although Lan Li usually does not look like he is afraid of some special animals, but everyone has their own psychological fears, which are nothing to others, but may be their own fears, which is also very possible.
But...... Or nothing.
The unknown is often frightening, and the more things that cannot be seen, the more panicked it is, and I can't help but wonder: is it beyond the scope of my own cognition? Is it beyond my ability to confront? Just like in thriller movies or horror movies, those demons with masks, or the wind and grass that cannot be seen, are often more terrifying, and at this moment, it is very close to this state:
In the last second, the noise was incomprehensible.
In the next second, everything was silent.
Maybe not a second, maybe the whole process lasted for a long time, but because all the attention was focused on the unknown in front of him, he didn't notice the passage of time at all, and when Nick reacted, he realized that the whole scene fell into silence, and the extreme silence made his heart beat even more, and it hit his eardrum with a pop - even if he wasn't so scared, he couldn't help but start swallowing saliva now.
Nick cautiously withdrew his gaze and cast his gaze in Lan Li's direction again, trying to find the answer to Lan Li's question.
Lan Li also noticed Nick's gaze, withdrew his eyes, spread his hands towards Nick, shrugged his innocent shoulders, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
Nick was full of question marks, pointed at Lan Li, and then tried his best to express himself with gestures: How are you at the beginning?
At this moment, the heavy breathing of the tyrannical T. rex began to resound in the depths of the jungle, snorting...... The sound of rustling came from far and near, creating a psychological fear, as if the surface of the skin could feel the danger approaching.
Nick's movements froze in place: No...... No...... No way......
"Roar!"
The earth-shattering roar roared like this, and it seemed that the whole jungle began to shake, creating a feeling that the ground was shaking, and the sense of crisis that was close at hand swept over like a stormy wave, leaving no room for breathing and no room for reaction, and everyone obeyed their instincts/abilities to react:
Someone screamed.
Someone ran away.
Someone squatted.
Someone was stunned.
And then...... There were also people who couldn't help laughing, but the smile was only for a moment, and Lan Li was the first to raise his voice and shouted, "Calm, all calm, fake, this is all fake! Calm down, everyone, calm down! It's just a sound effect, God, it's a sound effect we made ourselves!"
Colin also reacted and joined Lan Li's ranks, beckoning the people next to him to calm down.
Fortunately, there was no further confusion, and the commotion only lasted for a moment before it calmed down, and everyone looked at each other like this, as if they had not yet reacted, did not understand what was really happening, and some of them remained in their original positions in despair.
Bryce, for example, crouched in place with her head in her hands, her hair messy, her skirt dirty, and her cheeks still filled with terrifying fear.
Bryce looked at Lan Li blankly, not knowing why, and then heard Lan Li say, "If Claire is like this, we may all be wiped out in the movie." "Because in the movie, at the last moment, it was Claire who attracted the Tyrannosaurus Rex and formed a confrontation with the tyrannical Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"......" for a second, two seconds, "Lanli-Hall!" Bryce roared like a lion on on the east of the river, and the whole forest seemed to start shaking.
From start to finish, it was a prank!
Suddenly, Lan Li had the idea of a prank - pretending to see a dinosaur or something terrifying, and seeing how many people would fall for it. It wasn't difficult to perform with fake and real things at all, but he didn't expect that the whole prank went so smoothly and successfully deceived most of the crew, especially the genius at the last moment......
"Lan Li!" Bryce looked at Lan Li helplessly, "Is it all a prank?" After getting Lan Li's nod in affirmation, Bryce didn't hold back after all, and her tears fell down directly, which made Lan Li a little nervous, but Bryce herself felt ridiculous and funny, wiped away her tears, and then laughed directly, the look of crying and laughing, so embarrassed, "Lan Li, you are really a bastard." ”
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
After the happiness of the rest of the life after the catastrophe was relieved, and then carefully recalled the whole process just now, it was indeed too funny, precisely because it was too ridiculous and exaggerated, but they were fooled like this, which was even more funny, and then, everyone laughed collectively, even laughing.
Can't stop at all.
Laughing while cursing, laughing while being depressed, and rejoicing while being afraid...... That ambivalence is beyond words.
Simpkins looked at the crying and laughing adults around him with a puzzled face, his eyes were full of question marks, he had no idea what was going on," ...... Was that sound a dinosaur?"
Nick reacted at this point, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes - laughing so hard, "Lan Li, how did you do it? I mean, the last dinosaur cry? It was so timely that my heart was going to stop." ”
Everyone else nodded their heads, they couldn't believe that the prank was so perfect that even Colin couldn't help but ask curiously, "When did you start planning?" We don't even know at all, you are really amazing, the whole crew has been fooled. ”
"Uh...... When I made eye contact with Nick, I had the idea. Lan Li also had a question mark and couldn't answer it, "The last dinosaur cry was not arranged by me." ”
"Hey, Lan Li, stop kidding. Colin struggled to maintain a smile and tried to contradict Lan Li, but the smile was clearly a little untenable.
Lan Li spread out her hands, "I'm serious. Those sincere eyes expressed their sincerity, "It's really not my arrangement." ”
"Lan Li, it's not funny at all. Bryce's voice trembled slightly again.
Lan Li nodded, "I know. I know it's not funny. Believe me, there are boundaries to pranks, but it's really not what I arranged. I swear. ”
Lan Li's expression looked extremely sincere, and then everyone in the audience fell into the predicament of looking at each other again, that ...... So what's going on?
Be quiet.
There was silence.
Deathly quiet.
Don't...... Is that roar real?
"It's me. Before the fear could spread again, the stalemate in the audience was broken, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, it was actually Pascal-Garneau, the sound engineer, who raised his right hand with an embarrassed expression, "Uh...... I thought that Lan Li's prank seemed like a good one, and maybe I could make it more realistic, so I added sound effects......" After a pause, he added, "It's like Lan Li's prank when she arrived at the crew this morning." ”
Pascal looked around, "...... I also didn't expect that the same trick would work just as well the second time, and even more so than the first. ”
This...... Isn't this looking for a fight?
"Pascal!" roared from the entire crew, and people who had lost their minds with anger rushed towards Pascal.
Pascal tried to escape, but found himself trapped in an encirclement, and quickly defended, "Lan Li, it's all Lan Li, this is obviously the fuse lit by Lan Li! No, how can you do this? Wait, ah, wait, I didn't mean to...... Lan Li, help!"
