Jian Hua's eyes fell on the huge poster at the entrance of the movie theater ticket hall.

A large flock of crows forms the background of the poster, and the picture is desolate, and a handsome man in armor looks up at the sky, full of murderous energy, and his eyes are terrifying, which blends perfectly with the sharp font that makes up the title.

He still wanted to watch it for a while, but the staff of the cinema had already walked to the stand, ready to remove it and replace it with a poster for a new film that would be released tomorrow. was about to take it in a hurry, the brace shook and suddenly collapsed, and the man with a resolute gaze and a tall posture on the poster also seemed to collapse suddenly.

Jian Hua was stunned and slowly turned his head.

Behind her, a young girl whispered and begged the staff to send a poster.

Jian Hua subconsciously touched his pocket, and then he remembered that he quit smoking half a month ago, and now there is no cigarette in his clothes, only a small can of chewing gum, he knocked the lid of the box lightly with his thumb, and the warm light in the studio hall illuminated his finger joints more clearly, looking extremely slender and elegant.

Jian Hua is a stuntman, difficult, risky, or particularly hard, all belong to stunt actors, no matter how good the performance is, no audience knows the name.

Jian Hua didn't have any ambitions that didn't match his own abilities, but trouble still came to the door. Someone said that he would lose his job, and he wouldn't be able to get along in the circle of stuntmen.

He rested at home for most of the year, until Jian Hua unexpectedly received a phone call this morning.

is the agent of the actor Li Fei, and the actor intends to sign a contract with him, and asks Jian Hua to be the exclusive stuntman with preferential treatment.

Jian Hua didn't agree, but her heart was already shaken. He has seen Li Fei, and he has also been a martial artist for the other party, and he made this film that he watched today, and in good conscience, Li Fei is a good person, but-

Jian Hua, who was trapped in his thoughts, didn't notice that the elevator didn't come up for a long time.

A young and handsome man, in casual clothes of the popular brand, with long and straight legs wrapped under jeans, carelessly taking a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, and his lips in the warm yellow light are ambiguous orange.

Watching a movie, you can meet handsome guys at the end, and the two female students waiting for the elevator had their eyes lit up and quietly bit their ears.

The elevator of the cinema can accommodate ten people, and Jian Hua left the venue after watching all the subtitles at the end of the film, at this time, the people watching the movie at the same time were almost gone, and the screen above the ticket bar that scrolled the movie number prompt showed the current time at 22:44, and the waiting area of the cinema was empty.

"Ding." The elevator opens slowly.

Jian Hua followed a couple who were still excitedly discussing the plot into the elevator, and behind them were the two girls dressed as students. The elevator was filled with the strong aroma of a hot pot restaurant on a certain floor below the studio, Jian Hua frowned slightly, his stomach seemed to come alive in an instant, and he protested to him.

It's easy to get hungry after quitting smoking, especially with the fresh, spicy smell that stimulates the taste buds.

Jian Hua glanced at the hot pot restaurant advertisement posted in the elevator, his mind wandered, and when he chewed gum for a while, the entire elevator shook suddenly.

Caught off guard, the schoolgirl screamed in fright.

Jian Hua subconsciously leaned against the elevator wall, and at the same time held his arm on the compartment wall to maintain balance, before he could further judge the situation, the shaking of the elevator came and disappeared quickly, except for the aftermath of screaming, as if nothing had happened.

The five people in the elevator looked at each other and at the flickering number button panel.

"First floor." A mechanical electronic female voice came from the speaker, and the elevator door opened smoothly.

The little couple breathed a sigh of relief, and the man immediately muttered: "What a broken elevator, it won't be repaired, fortunately nothing happened." ”

The two female students were also afraid, because the shaking just now was too violent, and they all fell on the wall of the elevator compartment, fortunately, there were not many people who took the elevator, and those who were not familiar with it stood at a distance, otherwise it would be embarrassing to lie on others!

Although Jian Hua was not frightened, anyone who encountered this kind of thing would not be happy, Jian Hua pinched his eyebrows, stepped out of the elevator, looked around the first floor of the mall, and prepared to find the service desk to reflect the elevator problem. Due to the danger of her own work, Jian Hua is more sensitive to this kind of thing, and whether the mall attaches importance to it or not is another matter.

Not far from the elevator, Jian Hua felt a little strange.

Ten and a half is the closing time of the mall, some counters have been covered with a layer of heavy flannel, the lights in some areas are off, and the bustling places during the day are deserted, but today it seems a little strange, and everywhere in sight, there is no one.

There are no patrol guards, no cleaning staff, and no counter ladies who are busy making the last business.

The perfume with the cap on the bottle was still on the counter, there were some cleaning tools scattered on the floor, the air conditioning in the mall had been turned off, and the cold wind that came in from it poured the whole lobby cold.

The little couple took out their mobile phones and tinkered with taxi software.

The two female students rubbed their fingers and went straight to a KFC next to the mall, the fast food restaurant has a connected sliding door on the first floor of the mall, they came to the order counter, looked around, and began to call the waiter loudly.

There was no one in the fast food restaurant, and the girls' blank expressions could be seen through the glass.

The sense of foreboding was even heavier, and Jian Hua walked quickly towards the door. The cold wind blowing in the middle of the autumn night made Jian Hua's whole body stiff and fixed on the square outside the mall.

Under the neon lights, the bustling city, which should be full of traffic, is still.

Cars stopped on the road, not congested, they were scattered on viaducts and auxiliary roads. The dark night sky, a bleak moon silently illuminating the quiet streets, the city seems to suddenly become a picture, no change, no life.

Where have all the people gone?

Jian Hua felt the muscles in his cheeks twitching, the gum was still in his mouth, and he hadn't chewed it for long, but he couldn't taste it anymore, and the huge sense of absurdity almost swallowed his whole body.

"What's the matter, there's no signal, I can't even connect to the Internet...... Yes? ”

The little couple who stepped out of the mall was also frightened in the same way. Their eyes widened in horror, they looked at the road in the distance, their bodies trembled involuntarily, they snuggled up together, and stammered:

"What's the matter, people?"

"It's a prank, let's shoot a spoof variety show!"

The man barely calmed down and shouted, "It's so boring, it's late at night!" ”

The woman hurriedly pulled him and complained: "Pay attention to what you say, maybe it's a live broadcast!" It's a good thing to be on TV, what do you care about? ”

I haven't heard that there is a big program group recently, and a few roads near the business district have to be blocked, even if there is, the guests on the show are also big names, which onion is the passerby?

Jian Hua took a step back, ran back into the mall, rushed back to the elevator door and pressed the indicator light on the top floor, the moment the elevator door closed, he heard his heartbeat, very fast, and the sound of heavy breathing.

"Ding, on the sixth floor, welcome to Huanyu Cinema." The warm yellow light shone on Jian Hua, which was brighter and warmer than the first floor of the shopping mall, but the biting chill spread like a tide in Jian Hua's heart.

The poster and stand are crooked on the ground, the staff who replaced it are nowhere to be seen, the fans who want to get the poster are gone, and the sweet taste of popcorn is still in the ticket hall of the studio, but the conductor who is lying on the counter playing with his mobile phone is like he has never saved zài.

Jian Hua pinched his pocket for a long time and didn't find a cigarette, his anxiety made him frown deeply, and he vaguely heard the sound of two female students and the couple shouting in a hurry downstairs.

"Anyone? Is there anyone here? ”

Jian Hua's foot on the edge of the poster paused, slowly moved away, and looked down at the young general on the poster.

The title "Crow" is sharp, and it seems to be able to poke the audience's eyeballs, the general has a resolute expression, and his armor is broken, like a poplar standing on the desert. There is also a line of conspicuous words on the poster: actor Li Fei starring.

Jian Hua didn't pick up this poster, he threw the gum into the trash, stepped into the elevator again, and looked at the scrolling electronic screen of the eye studio, the current time is 22:44.

***

When the other four people in the elevator walked around the sixth floor of the mall in vain and shouted, Jian Hua had already left the studio.

He picked up the car in the parking lot, calmly started the car and drove out of the mall, galloping through the quiet city. The speed gradually climbed, and the cars stopped on the road one after another, and there was no one in all of them.

Cold sweat broke out from the palms of his hands and stuck to the steering wheel cover.

Jian Hua's heart sank, he turned the radio in the car, all the channels were the sound of electricity, and the most terrifying thing was that the time displayed by the on-board system had stopped at 22:44 without change.

He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and dialed the calls one by one according to the address book, but the call could not be made successfully.

Pressing on the brakes heavily, the screeching sound, the tires left an obvious mark on the ground, Jian Hua leaned heavily on the seat, threw the mobile phone in the box in the front glass of the car, supported his forehead with his right hand, and held back the anxiety in his heart.

What a hell of a thing!

I've heard of ghosts hitting walls, but I've never heard of people disappearing into an elevator when you enter an elevator

Jian Hua ruffled her hair, restarted the car, and drove home smoothly.

The door of the community is the switch he pressed when he got out of the car to convey the room, he left the car downstairs, usually the next door is still watching TV at this time, and the neighbor's dog will bark a few times when he goes upstairs, and now there is no movement at all.

Jian Hua didn't change his coat, he fell down on the sofa in the living room, fumbled for the remote control and turned on the TV.

There are pictures, but the pictures of each station are static.

The host who broadcasts the evening news, the characters of the family ethics drama, the freeze-frame advertisements, and the switching of channels one by one are like watching a slideshow. It turns out that ordinary things can be so terrifying when they are all still.

Jian Hua resisted the urge to throw the remote control, if this was a nightmare, it would be too real.
