Chapter 4 Sadako
When he saw the word "Zhen" on the TV screen, and then thought that this was a ghost world, Li Yang understood that this was the world of "Midnight Bell", and then instantly thought of a name.
Sadako!
Memory is a wonderful thing.
When you can't remember, you can't think of anything, but once you remember, those fragmentary memories will also emerge.
The memory of the plot of the midnight murder bell is now surging in Li Yang's mind.
"What's wrong with you?" Haruko asked strangely, picked up the cigarette that Li Yang had dropped on the floor, extinguished it, and threw it into the paper basket next to him.
“…… It's okay. Li Yang barely pulled a smile on his face.
"Aren't you too tired, why don't you go to sleep first?" Yaozi subconsciously glanced at Li Yang's crotch.
"It's fine."
It would be strange if Li Yang could fall asleep at this time.
He just wanted to be alone.
I took off my shoes and was about to walk into the room when Iwata, in front of the TV, suddenly shouted, "Look, what is this?" ”
Li Yang couldn't help but look over.
He knew that anyone who had watched the tape would be targeted by Sadako, but he had already seen it, so he didn't care about watching it a second time.
On the TV screen, the last picture of the ancient well disappeared, but another line of words appeared:
After the bell rings, the person who watched the tape will die a week later.
If you don't want to die, you can rip the tape to a second person.
"Zizi ......"
Snowflakes on the TV screen drowned out the fonts, and the constant noise was even more alarming.
"How could there be such a thing, nonsense." Iwata removes the tape from the VCR.
Tomoko's face turned pale and she didn't speak.
"It's really foolish." Haruko said contemptuously, not believing it at all.
Li Yang stood at the door of the room, silent.
He knew very well that even if he ripped the tape to a second person, he would not escape death.
So he never thought about ripping the tape.
He's waiting.
"Tick Bell Bell ......" The phone in the room rang suddenly.
Here it comes!
Midnight Bell!
Li Yang waited, but still didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the bell rings, the person who has seen the tape will die a week later, and if they don't want to die, they will rip the tape to a second person.
It was the bell that rang, but Haruko, Tomoko, and Iwata remembered these two cursed words in their hearts.
All four were silent.
The "Tick Bell ......" ringing non-stop, as if urging them to pick up the phone.
A wave of panic spread invisibly.
"Please, who's going to hang up this phone!" Tomoko exclaimed in fear.
"I don't believe in this evil." Yaozi said loudly and walked over, but was stopped by Li Yang reaching out.
"What are you doing? Are you also afraid of this kind of thing? Haruko's voice became louder, and there was a tone of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.
Li Yang was not angry, and said calmly: "I'll come." ”
“…… Oh. Haruka didn't expect him to be so calm.
She suddenly felt that in fact, she was afraid deep down, including Tomoko and Iwata, who were all afraid, but she just covered up her fear with a nonchalant appearance, but Li Yang, who was calm on the outside, was really not afraid.
Of course Li Yang was afraid.
He is human, and it is normal for people to be afraid of ghosts and death.
But it's useless to be afraid.
Moreover, it is useless to escape.
Li Yang strode to the phone, faced the phone, picked it up, and put it to his ear.
I don't know why, but he suddenly wanted to hear a voice from the other side of the phone, even if it was Sadako.
In fact, it was a deathly silence.
Li Yang glanced at the clock on the wall.
Eight past five o'clock.
"How...... What do you think? Haruko couldn't help but ask.
Tomoko and Iwata all looked at Li Yang with blank eyes.
From their tones, Li Yang knew that what they wanted to hear was not the truth.
"It's nothing, the front desk told me to go." Li Yang hung up the phone and said as usual.
Tomoko breathed a sigh of relief.
"What, the call from the front desk came in time." Haruko complained, sat on the sofa, and teased Tomoko, "Were you scared just now?" ”
"Nothing." Tomoko said weakly.
"It must be a playground prank." Iwata said loudly, and he finally spoke.
Yaozi and Tomoko rolled their eyes in unison and ignored him.
"I'll go to the front desk." Li Yang left the next sentence and walked out of the villa wooden house.
He certainly didn't go to the front desk.
Instead, he went to the management office.
"Sir, do you need anything?" The TV on the table was still on, and the administrator was obviously watching it just now.
"Do you have a camera?"
"Of course, many guests here will take pictures, do you rent or buy?"
"Let's rent."
Paid and left with the camera.
Standing under the street lamp, there was no one left and right, Li Yang took a picture of himself.
Really.
In the photo, his face is distorted and blurred, as if he is possessed by a ghost.
"Sadako, Sadako......" Li Yang looked at his photo, but seemed to be looking at Sadako.
What am I going to do?
Set up facts, reason, pull relationships, and set traps...... These are all tricks against people.
Sadako is a ghost.
A ghost!
And in the whole film, Midnight Bell didn't talk about how to deal with Sadako, and all the people Sadako wanted to kill were not spared.
In this world, Sadako is simply like an incomprehensible being.
Even Li Yang didn't know how to deal with it.
For the first time in his life, Li Yang felt so tricky.
It is said that human beings are the most terrifying creatures, because human beings have wisdom, but Li Yang feels that human beings are the best creatures to deal with, because only intelligent people have room for maneuver.
Ghosts are different.
As soon as you come up, either you kill me, or I kill you, and there is no room for maneuver at all.
But you can't beat it, and you can't hide from it......
Li Yang took out a cigarette a little anxiously, lit one, and took a hard puff.
Smoke fills the mouth and irritates the nerves.
One bite, one bite......
The cigarette went out.
Li Yang also calmed down.
Standing under the street lamp, looking at the wooden house of Villa B4, in a trance, he seemed to see a huge ghost, shrouded in the sky above the villa cabin.
suddenly
The ghost raised its head and smiled at Li Yang, as if it was about to rush towards him.
Li Yang strode over, and threw the photo he had just taken into the roadside garbage can.
Walk into the cottage.
Haruko and Tomoko were laughing, not knowing what they were whispering, Iwata was watching the TV, and from time to time he glanced at the two girls depressedly, wanting to join in the chat between the two women, but couldn't find a chance.
Until I saw Li Yang.
Iwata said loudly, "Takehiko, come quickly." ”
"Why?" Li Yang sat on the sofa with his butt and put his hand on Haruko's shoulder, as if Sadako's matter had been completely forgotten.
"What do you think this is?" Iwata picked up a videotape from the TV.
Li Yang paused, "This is the tape you played just now." ”
"Yes."
Iwata's face flashed with excitement, "I want to get rid of the last part of the tape, and when I get back to school, I can use it to scare other students." ”
This fool wants to harm people.
Li Yang rarely hates a person, because the people he is willing to put effort into contacting are either people who have a good impression or people who are beneficial to him, so of course he will not hate them.
But this Iwata succeeded in making him annoying.
If it weren't for this idiot releasing the Sadako video, how would he have been dragged into the water?
He's trying to figure out how to deal with Sadako, but the idiot wants to help Sadako spread the tape.
"Don't make this joke." Li Yang snatched the tape directly from Iwata's hand, threw it on the floor, and then directly stomped on it.
The sound of the broken videotape seemed to Li Yang to be Sadako's angry voice, and for a while, there was a faint hint of happiness in his heart.
"What are you doing here?" Iwata said a little unhappily, picked up the tape, and saw that there was no possibility of repairing it, and couldn't help but let out a disappointed sound.
Li Yang did not explain.
Haruko didn't say anything, it's just a videotape, and if it's bad, it's bad.
"I also feel that this prank is a bit excessive." Tomoko whispered.
"The tapes have been destroyed, so that's all there is to it." Iwata tossed the tape into the paper basket.
"Where did you find this tape?" Li Yang asked suddenly.
"I didn't look for it, it's there." Iwata gestured to the notebook on the table.
Li Yang picked up the notebook.
The notebook has the words "Memories of Travel" written on the cover, and when it is opened, it records the feelings of some travelers living here.
April 4, 1990.
Daddy is fat.
Mom is fat.
So, I'm fat too.
28 August 1990.
I wanted to play with my mom and dad, and I didn't want to miss the show, so I recorded it with a video recorder, but I forgot that Izu was different from the Tokyo Channel, and I didn't record anything, which made me angry!
This page has obvious signs of being pressed.
"I just wanted to write about my thoughts when I saw the tape from this page." Iwata Road.
Li Yang nodded.
Sadako had the ability to image the image of the curse and record it into this empty tape that recorded nothing, so the first curse tape was born naturally, and it happened to be discovered by Iwata.
The notebook still had contents, and Li Yang flipped through it again.
29 August 1990.
Warning, those who don't have guts don't watch this tape, you'll regret it!
Obviously, this is a prank by Iwata.
29 August 1990.
Takehiko is like a different person today, becoming more mature and charming, hehe, today we did two yo-Haruko.
There is a third time.
Li Yang closed the notebook, pulled up Yaozi, and put down the sentence "It's not early, let's rest early", and entered the room......
If you want to die, then you have to die on the path to happiness.
