Chapter 36: Hell is other people
Sun Jiamin still remembers everything before and after Ziyi's disappearance.
In the entertainment industry, interpersonal relationships are too realistic, worship high and low, who is popular and who plays, because of profit and profit, between people is more about interest calculation, and real friendship is actually very luxurious.
It is impossible to say that the friendship between the two daughters does not have even the slightest element of interest. But at least, on the premise that there is no conflict of resources between the two sides, their friendship is still very sincere. However, when Ziyi was suspected of the Li Hanyi incident, Sun Jiamin also began to avoid suspicion, but Ziyi later contacted her and regarded her as the only person to talk to.
At that time, when Ziyi called to contact her, she was also surprised.
"Ziyi, are you okay now?"
"It's okay, it's not dead yet."
"Ziyi, have you contacted your parents and your boyfriend?"
"My parents contacted me as soon as possible, saying that I was going to stay out of town for a while. As for him...... Broke up with me. ”
Ziyi and her boyfriend have always been in an underground secret relationship, only Sun Jiamin knows the identity of the other party, and that man can only be regarded as half an insider. His name is Liu Wenyan, and he is a top online writer with a pen name of Beishan Jinglong, known as one of the three giants of the singularity.
Two years ago, Netflix bought the copyright of Kitayama Jinglong's horror "Dead Worm" and adapted it into a 10-episode web series, and Ziyi played the heroine at that time, which was the most acclaimed role since Ziyi's debut, and it was also for this reason that he had frequent contact with Kitayama Jinglong, who was one of the screenwriters in the crew at that time, and had a spark and started an underground love. And now, it is really possible to respond to the so-called tree falling and scattering, and the catastrophe is coming. It is worth mentioning that last month, the second season of "Dead Bugs" was launched online, and the heroine naturally changed.
"I'm in K City right now." Ziyi said to Sun Jiamin at the time: "Jiamin, I live in an apartment now......"
At that time, Sun Jiamin was a little surprised, Ziyi actually went to rent an apartment to live?
"A hellish apartment......
It was exposed on the Internet before that Ziyi was likely suffering from depression. However, in China, where the word "depression" is not well understood, many people completely equate depression with "bad mood", and some people on the Internet have disguised depression to self-wash themselves over the years, resulting in the stigmatization of the disease.
This made Sun Jiamin very worried, and asked, "Ziyi, are you okay?" Did someone recognize you in the apartment you rented? Sorry for you? ”
"Jia Min. Dove how is it? ”
"It'...... It's good ......"
"Remember, don't give it beef jerky."
"Ziyi, are you alright? Where exactly do you live? I'm free, can I come and see you? ”
"Take care of Dove, thank you, Jiamin."
After that, the phone hung up.
Later, the few times she called herself before she lost contact with her completely, she never mentioned the so-called "hellish apartment" again. And this made Sun Jiamin's brain make up a lot of possibilities.
During that time, all the circle of friends information in Ziyi was only visible to his parents and Sun Jiamin. And strangely, many of the photos she took were dark and gloomy places, and many of them even looked like haunted houses. And every time she took the initiative to call Ziyi, she rarely answered.
However, it is worth mentioning that during this time, when Ziyi contacted herself, she was not always depressed. She remembers a couple of times when she called herself, and her mood was noticeably better.
"Jia Min, I may be able to make a comeback next year."
When Sun Jiamin heard this, it was incredible.
Comeback?
Although it is said that the memory of netizens is very poor, how long has it been since Li Hanyi's death, and the real culprit has never been found. At this time, she is making a comeback, who dares to use her? Even Sun Jiamin herself, when she was most scared, when someone visited her, she asked about Ziyi!
"Ziyi, what good things have happened to you? Is there a company willing to sign you to help you make a comeback? ”
"That's not the case. Even if I say it, you can't believe it. It can only be said that if Seong loses his horse, he will not know if it is a blessing. ”
At that time, Ziyi was silent for nearly ten seconds.
Just when Sun Jiamin thought that the mobile phone was out of signal, she said another sentence.
"Jia Min, I'm afraid you don't even know me anymore. I don't even know myself anymore. However, I don't regret it. Because I understand one thing. ”
"Purple, you...... You okay? ”
"Jia Min, do you know what is the most terrifying thing in the world?"
"Well, I don't know, what is it?"
"Others."
"Huh? I, I don't understand ......"
"'Hellisotherpeople,' this phrase is a line from the existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre's play 'Interval'. The real hell does not need torture, there is no need for evil spirits, and the real horror is 'others' other than oneself. ”
"That'...... That, Ziyi, can you speak human words? Why can't I understand a word? ”
"I'll get back in touch with you, Jiamin."
I remember that after she contacted herself for the last time, the last update of her circle of friends was to post some strange photos.
In that photo, it looks like it's in a very dark wax museum. In fact, if there is no special description of her on the circle of friends, she can't see that the photo is a wax figure instead of a real person. And while those wax figures are made lifelike, their faces and expressions are quite terrifying and terrifying. Ziyi's accompanying text in the circle of friends is like this: "The adventure of the horror wax museum, can I go to the end?" Cheer me on. No matter what, I must live, even if I sell my soul to the devil. ”
Looking at this text, it really made Sun Jiamin very worried. But at the time, she thought it might be a game like a haunted house escape room. was bullied by all the netizens, banned by the economic company, and even abandoned by her boyfriend who was in love, did it really make Ziyi suffer to such an extent?
And after that circle of friends, she never contacted herself again. Even when you call, it's always "the number you dialed is not in the service area".
At this moment, Sun Jiamin heard the words from the other end of the phone, what "hellish apartment", which reminded her of Sun Jiamin.
Still, she thought, it should just be the same metaphor.
"What do you mean by an apartment that looks like hell?" Sun Jiamin immediately asked, "Can you tell me more specifically?" ”
"Even if you say it, it doesn't make any sense. The least I can tell you is that the apartment is not on this island. You continue to find a way to collect the corpses of the occupants along the route I told you. I promise you, I'll help you get out of this island. ”
Then the phone hung up.
This number can only contact them unilaterally, and when they call back, they can't be reached at all.
Having said this, it's basically not much different from not saying it!
"It's like a hellish apartment...... Mu Aishan thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it meant: "What does the so-called apartment have to do with infectious diseases and strange things that happened on this island?" ”
"I don't understand it either." Sun Jiamin thought for a long time and said, "I don't understand it at all." ”
The only information available is that this Hellish Apartment is not on Blackwater Island. So, why did the apartment residents come to Blackwater Island?
"On the hospital note, what did you say about the curse caused by the arrival of a certain man, and that man was the so-called apartment resident?" Sun Jiamin put forward this hypothesis.
Mu Aishan thought as she walked, and said, "But it is clear that there is more than one resident of the apartment. And the people who called us, and the so-called apartment residents, are they hostile, or are they in the same camp? It was clear that what he cared about most was information about the corpses of the occupants. ”
After thinking for a while, she said, "Perhaps, if we contact us next, we can use this information to ask him to say more about the apartment." ”
"Huh? It's a solution! ”
"Even, through this, let him let us escape from Blackwater Island first, and then we will tell the information in detail, which is also a way."
"That's right, we can't be at the mercy of all the time."
The long-term exhaustion and hunger made Mu Aishan's thinking a lot sluggish, and now she thinks about it again, using the information that the other party wants to know, she can negotiate, why is she so sincere and tell the other party everything?
That's it!
