At great pains

A cloud of bubbles.

The movie unfolds before us, with several young people looking at Rebecca in panic, her expression glazed over......

"Rebecca, what's wrong with you? Why are you here? Lena asked.

Rebecca didn't speak, but walked past us, and suddenly her expression became frightened, and she pointed at Peter with her right hand: "It's you, it's all you!" We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you!"

"Rebecca, calm down, no one wants this, it's all caused by heavy rain, otherwise we wouldn't have lost our way at all and wouldn't have come here." Lena tries to keep Rebecca's emotions in check. "Rebecca, trust me, we'll get out." Peter said.

"Nope! No!!! There's no way we're going to get out of here, it's impossible. Rebecca said in horror.

"I think we'd better get out of this room first and go to the living room." Jerry suggested.

Just like that, the young men returned to the living room. Everyone sat on blankets and ate simple food.

"Where's Neil, you say?" Lena still couldn't rest assured of Neil.

"I don't know, but I'm sure he's still in this apartment." Peter speculated.

"Why don't we just wait here until dawn, maybe by then, someone will find our car parked on the road, and then the police will come looking for us." Jerry said hopefully.

"I hope so......" Lena whispered.

Rebecca didn't speak, she seemed to be a different person from the beginning, sitting on the floor alone, if she would never do that before, how could she care most about her precious clothes, how could she want to sit on the floor so carelessly.

"What time is it?" Jerry asked, "My phone is dead..."

"Seven-thirty, no...... My watch seems to have stopped......" Peter slapped his watch hard, but it just wouldn't go.

"How so? My watch has stopped, too," Lena said.

"You said that the phone has no signal here, even if it is broken, how can it be that even the watch is broken?" Jerry asked, puzzled.

"Looks like they don't want us to know the exact time." Peter said solemnly.

"Don't want us to know the time? Why? Lena asked curiously.

"I don't know..."

While Peter and the others were discussing, Rebecca suddenly stood up. I came to the piano. She looked closely at the piano in front of her. It's all dust, and it looks like no one has played it in a long time.

Rebecca sat down at the piano.

"Rebecca? What's wrong? Where are you sitting on the piano? Peter asked, looking at Rebecca.

At this moment, the strange music from before suddenly came. When everyone focused on Rebecca, they realized that Rebecca was not moving, but the piano was making the music itself.

"This ...... How is this possible? Lena couldn't believe her eyes.

Rebecca looked at the piano and just kept repeating, "It's over, it's all over..."

"Let's get out of here." Jerry panicked and retreated to the living room door.

"Rebecca, get out of here, quick!" Peter shouted.

Rebecca didn't mean to get up and leave, but suddenly burst out laughing. Her laughter blended with the quirky music.

"Peter, let's go. She's not the Rebecca we know anymore. Jerry urged Peter.

"But...... But ......" Peter had no choice but to leave the drawing-room, and just as they had left, the door to the drawing-room slammed shut.

I watched nervously, and Cui Li beside me had fainted for some time, and it seemed that he would not wake up on his own.

"Cui Li, Cui Li, wake up......" I shouted softly, but to no avail.

Li Ruina calmly put down the popcorn and carried Cui Li, who had already fainted, outside, and I quickly followed. I saw Li Ruina throw Cui Li aside, smiled and bought a bottle of water at the popcorn counter, and quickly walked over and poured him on Cui Li's face.

"Ahh Ghosts, ghosts! Cui Li woke up screaming, while Li Ruina pulled his collar and said disdainfully: "Are you a man, so easy to faint?" Do you still want to chase Mo Weiwei like this? I think you'd better wait for the next life! ”

Cui Li wiped the mineral water off his face and said, "I, I, why am I not a man!" I'm just unwell in front of me! I'm going to go back and keep watching! Cui Li stood up and walked towards the movie hall with a lot of backbone.

"It's a bit of a thing." Li Ruina said to herself.

So I got back to my seat and continued watching the movie.

Lena walked very slowly, as if she was thinking about something.

"Lena, what's wrong with you?" Peter asked.

"Do you think that music is familiar, as if you've heard it somewhere?"

"I've never heard such weird music." Jerry replied without hesitation.

"I don't have any impressions either—" Peter continued as he walked forward, not paying attention to Lena's words.

"Okay...... Maybe I'm thinking too much..."

The three of them continued to walk forward......

"Damn, no matter how we go, it's useless, we can't find the door to enter." Jerry was a little impatient.

"Maybe we can change our minds." Peter found a hammer in the house.

He came to the wall of the apartment and smashed it so hard that soon the broken stones were scattered in front of us.

"yes, so we can get out. Peter or you're smart. Jerry clearly agrees with Peter's idea.

Soon a large hole was smashed into the wall. We could already see the courtyard outside.

Seeing that victory was ahead, Peter smashed harder, and in a short time, he smashed a big hole that would allow us to get out.

"It's finally time to get out of here!" Jerry said happily.

Peter put down the hammer in his hand and struggled to fit his breath.

And Jerry couldn't wait for a long time and couldn't wait to get out.

But the moment he got out, suddenly a pair of strong arms pulled him back again.

"Neil?" Lena didn't even notice when Neil appeared next to them.

"Neil, why are you here? We've been looking for you for a long time. Peter asked, shocked.

Neil looked around mysteriously and said, "You must have noticed that this is not easy, you see! ”

Neil pointed to the outside of the big hole that had been smashed open and said, "Look there! ”

Peter: They looked in the direction Neil was pointing.

"How is that possible? Why is this happening? Lena took a few steps back in horror.

In the courtyard of the apartment, there was a car parked exactly like the one they were riding in, and even the same was taking pictures.

"Neil, isn't that you? Did you drive the car back here? Jerry asked.

"Me? How is it possible, I have been here since just now, how can I have time to drive the car back. Neil denied.

"Even if what you say is true, then why are you pulling me back? If it weren't for you, I'd be out of here by now. Jerry said and got ready to get out again.

"Wait!" Neil stopped, "We can't just get out so easily."

"What are you talking about, isn't the way out in front of us? I don't want to listen to your nonsense here. Jerry couldn't wait to get out of here.

But just as Jerry was about to go out again, he was stopped by Neil again.

"What the hell do you want?" Jerry was a little angry.

Neil didn't explain, but threw the hammer that Peter had just put down out of the hole.

Strangely, the hammer had been thrown, but not in the courtyard outside, and they didn't hear any sound of the hammer falling.

"How is this possible?" Jerry asked, stunned.

At this moment, they actually heard a loud noise from the depths of the aisle, apparently the sound of something falling.

"Who's where? Who? Pete asked alarmedly.

But no one answered in the depths of the aisle......

At this moment, Li Ruina suddenly got up, and Cui Li, who was beside her, fainted without knowing why.

So as before, he was carried out by Li Ruina.

"Cheng Yin, I didn't expect this guy to be more timid than you..."Li Ruina was already speechless to Cui Li.

"Cui Li, wake up. Cui Li, wake up. "I know Cui Li's courage very well, and it is not easy for him to do it now.

Li Ruina also went to buy another bottle of mineral water and poured it on Cui Li's face.

"I said that's all you have to be sincere? A horror movie, you plan to faint a few times, you're not annoyed, I'm annoyed, if you really can't watch a horror movie, forget it, it's better to watch "The Legend of Rabbit Beibei's Hero Village". Li Ruina said.

At this moment, two elementary school students walked in front of us.

"You see there is a "ghost apartment" recently, the introduction says that an old apartment that no one has visited for decades, but a group of young people came here because of a heavy rain, and the story unfolds here, and the mystery of the apartment that no one knows about has been unraveled after the visit of several young people... It looks terrifying. One of the schoolchildren read it with a pamphlet in his hand.

"I think it's better to forget it, it's going to be scary. Let's watch "The Legend of Rabbit Bebe: The Legend of the Hero Village", this one is more suitable for us. Another elementary school student said.

"I'm right, your courage is not much different from that of a primary school student, let's watch your "Legend of Rabbit Bebe's Hero Village". Li Ruina seems to have said this on purpose.

"No kidding, how could I not watch it, this time I will definitely watch it all with my eyes wide open!" Cui Li said very seriously.

It can be seen that Cui Li has made a lot of determination this time.

We were back in our seats, and the movie was just in time for Pete and the four of them working on something.

"I'll just say the music we just heard is familiar, and we must have heard it somewhere." This time, Lena drew something on a piece of paper under the light of a flashlight: "That's right, that's it!"

Lena seemed to have solved this puzzle, and she unfolded the note in her hand in front of everyone, on which were drawn some staves and many notes.

"What does that mean, Lena, and you know that you're the only one here who is a talented student at the Conservatory, and we can't understand these ......," Peter said helplessly.

"Actually, this is the weird melody we just heard." Lena said, pointing to the stave on the paper.

"Quirky melodies? But what does that mean? Jerry still didn't get it.

"Actually, we were wrong, there is nothing wrong with the melody itself, but the reason why we feel strange is because the whole melody is stretched by one beat." Lena drew a new melody on the paper: "You see, if I restore this melody, that's it. ”

Although Lena said it with a serious appearance, Pete and the others still couldn't understand it.

"Well, I'll hum this melody and you'll understand." Lena hummed the melody out of the paper. There was a look of disbelief on everyone's face.

"This ...... It's not ......" Jerry didn't know what to say.

"Isn't this the music we play in the car?" Neil said in shock.

"Why is the music we playing on the top of the car here?" Peter also found it difficult to explain.

"So it's no coincidence that we're here." Lena's analysis is not wrong at all.

It was at this moment that familiar music came from the depths of the aisle again.

"Let's go and see, we have to figure it all out."

Everyone soon walked down the dark walkway into the depths.

But when they came to the depths where they had gone, the music stopped abruptly. There was a dining room, with cutlery placed on the table.

"There's no piano here, so how did this music come about?" Neil asked.

"Look, what is this?" Apparently something caught Lena's attention.

It turned out that on the floor of the dining room, there was the hammer that Neil had thrown out of the courtyard.

"That's how the hammer came here. Who put it here? Jerry still couldn't believe it was Hammer himself.

"Wasn't this hammer thrown by Neil just now?" Curious, Peter picked up the hammer and examined it closely, and it was indeed the hammer he had just used to smash the wall.

"Who! Who is it!!! Who are you!!! Jerry shouted. But there was no one to answer his question.

"If that looks like this, I'm afraid there's really no way we're going to get out of here." Peter said in despair.
