CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER XII
"Whoa!" It was raining heavily in the dark night sky.
Zhang Chen as the protagonist in "1408" - Mike. Ainslin, driving the car down a quiet, dark middle of nowhere.
Soon on the side of the street, a very inconspicuous inn appeared in the woods beside the road, and the lights lit up the night slightly. Zhang Chen naturally parked the car next to the hotel and walked in against the heavy rain.
"My dear, Mr. Anslin, we're still worried that you won't come."
In the hotel were two old husbands and wives who were nearly sixty years old, and they looked very happy after seeing Zhang Chen's arrival.
In fact, the protagonist played by Zhang Chen is a family who likes to write horror stories with his own life experience in the movie, and there is a corresponding publishing house to publish his books, which can be regarded as famous. I came to this hotel tonight to see that the hotel was rumored to be haunted, so I planned to stay here for one night to find inspiration for writing.
As a hotel with poor economic efficiency on a remote highway, the husband and wife naturally wanted to use the writer's name to do 'publicity' for their hotel, although this 'publicity' was somewhat inappropriate.
"We have this staircase here...... "The innkeeper pointed to the overhanging beam on the stairs leading to the second floor of the inn behind him, "and this is where the maid hanged herself in 1860." ”
The proprietress then handed Zhang Chen a photo of the woman behind the door taken with a camera by a traveler who had stayed in 1986.
"Where is the place where there are the most paranormal phenomena? The top floor of your letter has the most paranormal events. Zhang Chen asked, in fact, this was not Zhang Chen's own death. It's when you're playing that role. The words that should have come out of his mind are only the beginning of the movie, and Zhang Chen knows that nothing terrible has happened in the hotel of the protagonist.
"You're right, the third floor is the top floor, the room where the hanged maid lived. The maid's children all died of tuberculosis, and the maid finally chose to hang herself. ”
After a simple exchange, Zhang Chen got the key to the room on the top floor.
After walking up the stairs to the room on the top floor, Zhang Chen opened the door without hesitation and walked in. Inside, there is a very cosy room with an ebony bed. There is also a fireplace for fire. On each side of the bed and on each side of the bed there is a lamp that glows in warm tones.
Zhang Chen followed the protagonist's habit and placed an unlit cigarette on the edge of the ashtray.
"It's exactly like in the movie." Zhang Chen looked at himself in the mirror, and his face had changed to that of Hollywood star John who played the main role in the movie. Cusack's face.
It seems that the previous thoughts were too thoughtful, and all the words or actions that the protagonist wants next in the movie will be reminded at the critical moment. As long as you follow the prompts in your head, you can expect events to continue as the story in the movie. Until the protagonist dies. ”
Zhang Chen turned on the fireplace. The chill of the whole room was quickly driven away, in exchange for a pleasant warmth. Instead, he was lying relaxed on the soft bed and spreading his hands outstretched. Put it in front of your eyes and look back and forth.
"How does the average person feel?" Zhang Chen looked at his hands and body, and a feeling of weakness and weakness arose. But fortunately, after Zhang Chen became a prison envoy, he got up early every morning and forced exercise, his strong muscles were stronger than ordinary people, and his endurance was also quite good, and these excellent physical fitness could increase Zhang Chen's chances of survival.
"This supernatural photo was taken in this room......, right" Zhang Chen looked at the slightly floating curtains on the windowsill of the room, and compared the woman in white behind the glass window in the photo, a feeling of fur immediately arose in his heart, and a taste of fear that Zhang Chen had not been able to taste for a long time began to be born in his heart.
Zhang Chen walked quickly to the edge of the windowsill and locked the slightly open window tightly.
"Tonight is not depicted in the movie, and there is no danger at the beginning of the movie, the protagonist just stays here for a boring night. The real '1408' story unfolds, and it will be a little later. ”
Zhang Chen used the safety of the protagonist in the movie to stabilize his mind, first pretended to conduct a series of searches of the room, and after feeling a little sleepy, he lay down in the soft and warm quilt and fell asleep.
"Whoosh!"
A biting chill made Zhang Chen, who was sleeping, couldn't help but open his eyes and wake up.
The glass window that was originally locked by Zhang Chen before going to bed was slid open by someone at this time, and the white curtains fluttered with the cold wind outside the window, and at this moment, the flame of the fireplace in the room also stopped burning.
"What kind of ...... is that" Zhang Chen looked at a vague lady who seemed to be standing on the windowsill, her eyes fixed on a qiē in the room.
A trace of cold sweat began to stir up on Zhang Chen's back, and even soaked through his clothes......
Zhang Chen's heart "Wow! sound, not because of the woman in white on the windowsill, but in the quilt where he was located, a pair of cold objects touched his thighs.
"Is this fear?" At this moment, Zhang Chen couldn't help but tremble all over,
However, the movement in the quilt became louder and louder, and even the middle of the quilt began to be lifted high by unknown objects. And Zhang Chen couldn't help but turn his gaze from the woman in white outside the windowsill to the pitch-black inside.
One pair, two pairs...... A total of five pairs of eyes met Zhang Chen's eyes in the dark quilt.
"Running ......" Zhang Chen is unable to calm the horror in his heart at this moment even if he tries his best, and the only thing he can do is to rely on the human instinct to survive.
"Wow!"
The moment the quilt was lifted, there were five 'conjoined' children sitting on Zhang Chen's lap, the so-called conjoined is somewhat different from the conjoined in medical terms, the five black children seem to be squeezed together and forcibly kneaded into the shape of a person, but there are five people's eyes, noses and mouths on the deformed face.
The ten arms of the conjoined child were grasping Zhang Chen's thighs, and the blackened nails had pierced into the muscles of Zhang Chen's thighs, so that the bright red blood slowly flowed down.
"Ahh
Zhang Chen instinctively picked up the metal lamp placed on the bedside table next to him, his muscles swelled, and he struck directly towards the conjoined child.
"Boom!"
The moment Zhang Chen knocked down, a burst of tinnitus disturbed his consciousness, and when he came back to his senses, the table lamp knocked between his legs, and the conjoined child had disappeared. When he turned his eyes to look at the windowsill, the female ghost in white was also gone
"Whew...... ...... exhale," Zhang Chen gasped, facing the ghost for the first time, he was so weak, "Why...... In the movie...... I know, the main character didn't sleep all night in order to be able to find the ghost in the room. And I slept......"
Zhang Chen couldn't help but think of Lian Yuxin's warning, he actually ignored a detail because he didn't adapt to the body of ordinary people for a while, and his fall asleep attracted a ghost that echoed in this hotel.
Now his condition is not good, his right leg has been cut through two large cuts, and blood is constantly spilling out. Fortunately, the arteries under the musculature were not injured, otherwise Zhang Chenzhen might have died here.
However, it didn't end there.
After Zhang Chen finished reminiscing, when he slowly returned the lamp in his hand to the bedside table beside him, a cold palm rested on his shoulder, and a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow penetrated into Zhang Chen's body from the palm.
Zhang Chen immediately got up from the bed and ran towards the door of the room. And his brain was occupied by fear, and he couldn't help but look back at the wooden bed he was sleeping on behind him. A black woman with sunken eye sockets and maggots crawling in her eye holes was sitting upright at the head of the bed, and the cold hand that had been placed on Zhang Chen's shoulder before was naturally hers.
"Haha...... Haha......" gradually resounded in the room, but the black woman did not open her mouth to pronounce, and the frightened scenes made Zhang Chen's entire brain almost completely occupied by fear, and he couldn't distinguish a trace of his mind to think about the problem.
"Click, click!" A common plot in horror movies occurs, Zhang Chen turns the doorknob but is tightly stuck by a foreign object and the owner can't open the door.
At this moment, the black woman sitting on the bed was like a spider, slowly crawling down from the wooden bed with her whole body twisted and limbs, and her black hole eyes were staring at Zhang Chen who was standing at the door.
"Open it! Open it! ”
Zhang Chen's survival ** was extremely strong, and despite the pain in his thighs, he began to hit the wooden door again and again with his sturdy body.
Although the lock was imprisoned by a strange energy, the wooden door was forced to open a large hole by Zhang Chen with his strong body, and there were even a lot of sawdust that pierced into Zhang Chen's body the moment the wooden door broke.
The moment the wooden door slammed open, the black woman behind her who was climbing like a spider immediately sped up, and Zhang Chen naturally seized the opportunity to escape in front of him and ran quickly towards the bottom of the stairs.
However, when Zhang Chen ran to the stairwell on the second floor of the hotel, he lost consciousness at the moment of stepping down the stairs because of excessive blood loss in his right leg, causing the whole person to stumble forward and fall down.
But the next scene was not Zhang Chen rolling down the stairs, but at the moment when he fell forward, a circle of thick hemp rope was hung on the beam above his head at some point. The size of the hemp rope mouth just fits with Zhang Chen's head, and it just happens to put the head into it.
"Wow!"
The body is empty, Zhang Chen is more than 1.8 meters tall and has strong muscles, and weighs 160 pounds. And when all this weight is concentrated on the neck, the skin is immediately strangled and leached with blood, and the eyes are also red because of blood congestion.
"I can't die!"
Zhang Chen's hands were originally because he was uncomfortable and grabbed the thick hemp rope around his neck, but at the moment of life and death, his hands actually let go and grabbed the top of the hemp rope, and used the last trace of strength to lift his body up.
Immediately after, the whole person fell heavily to the ground and no longer had any strength to escape.
At this time, the black woman crawled behind Zhang Chen...... To be continued
