Chapter Forty-Eight: Cheekiness

I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked again, there was nothing.

"Am I dazzled?" Indeed, it's almost nine o'clock now, who will run into Yongfangtang.

I returned to the hotel with Bai Xi, packed up and went to sleep.

The next day I got up early again and looked at my watch, and it was only five o'clock.

In the early morning of summer, on a whim, I changed into a sportswear and prepared to go for a morning run at CUHK.

Along the way, there was a slight morning breeze blowing, and I smelled the aroma of grass and trees emitted by the towering ancient trees on both sides, and my mood was very bright.

This quaint campus has a strong nostalgic atmosphere in the faint morning light.

As he ran, a large green lawn appeared in front of him.

This is the lawn opposite Yongfang Hall, and although the school has banned trampling, the green grass really attracts people to want to wander in.

Running to the side of the lawn, I stopped. There was no one around, and I breathed heavily in the scent of grass.

Looking up, two rows of bronze figures standing in front of the door of Yongfangtang came into view.

Well? Wait, how does the innermost bronze statue on the left look weird? I took a few steps forward, and when I could see clearly, I let out an "ahhh

At this time, the face of the bronze statue was covered with a broken human face. There were blood stains under the skin of the face, dripping down the neck of the bronze statue to the body, forming several mottled lines of blood.

I almost sat on the floor, and the visual impact of this scene was too strong.

This, is this a prop for the crew? Enhanced horror effect?

I guess the set designer got up earlier than I did, and came here to set up the perimeter. I comforted myself and slowly walked over to the bronze statue to look at it.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, my crotch is tight - I've been with the crew for a long time, and my eyesight is not bad. On closer inspection, I found that the skin and blood stains were definitely not props!

I quickly ran out of the way like an electric shock, ran to the lawn in the distance, and my first reaction was to call the police.

Tremblingly, he took out his mobile phone and dialed 110.

"Hey, I'm going to report the crime......" I said breathlessly, "I'm in Yongfangtang at Sun Yat-sen University...... Here......"

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a sharp signal interference sound of "Zla" in the earpiece, and my eardrum almost cracked. I covered my ears and screamed several times.

"Hey, hey, this gentleman, can you hear me? Hey......" came the operator's voice on the other end of the line.

"Yes...... I can hear that just now, there seems to be something wrong with the signal. I said, "Eifangdo is ...... here."

As I spoke, I subconsciously looked back at the bronze statue again. Who knew that this glance made my jaw drop again - the face that had just been pasted on the bronze statue was gone at this moment!

I froze. The 110 operator urged me to continue, and I stammered back: "Wait a minute......"

When I ran back to look at the statue, there was no skin or blood on it, and it was as if nothing had happened.

As a last resort, I apologized and said, "Uh, I'm sorry, I may have been dazzled...... Not on purpose, sorry sorry! ”

Fortunately, they didn't pursue me for reporting the case, so I hung up the phone.

The whole thing is just unbelievable. I'm sure it wasn't my hallucination, but why was it gone in a blink of an eye? That face kept coming to mind, and it always felt like I had seen it somewhere.

This place is really a bit evil. I didn't dare to stay any longer and went back.

Back at the hotel, Bai Xi saw that my face was not good, so he asked the reason.

As soon as I told what had happened, Bai Xi smacked his lips and said nonchalantly: "Is it an illusion that I didn't sleep well?" ”

I shook my head helplessly: "When you encounter something unexplainable in a horror movie, you say it's the protagonist's hallucination." Where are normal people so prone to hallucinations? ”

Bai Xi thought for a while and said, "This makes sense......

Then she changed her words, and her eyes flashed with excitement and said, "I'm a little interested in this Yongfangtang!" Why don't you take me inside? ”

Otherwise, girls who love to watch horror movies can't marry, the taste is too heavy.

"Hey, I said, are you idle? I don't know what's going on now, you stay honest! I said solemnly.

Bai Xi pursed his lips and said, "Coward." ”

When they were about to start filming in the morning, everyone found that the makeup artist Xiao Gao was missing.

"Beibei, Xiao Gao, why hasn't it arrived yet?" The assistant director asked makeup assistant Liu Beibei.

Beibei shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'll call him." ”

For a long time, Beibei's face was a little ugly, and she said, "No one has answered the phone!" ”

The assistant director asked the person who was in the same room as Xiao Gao, saying that he hadn't seen him since he got up in the morning. He sent someone back to the hotel, but there was nothing in the room.

Xiao Gao is quite steady, how could he be absent from work for no reason and lose contact? I had a bad feeling in my heart. That face came to mind again.

The thought flashed through me, and I forced myself not to think about it anymore. The skin was broken, and it was impossible to distinguish the face. Maybe Xiao Gao just had a hangover somewhere last night, and he didn't wake up with a spring dream while holding the chick.

During the day's shooting, Liu Beibei was putting on makeup for the actors alone. I noticed that she had been restless. Until the end of the evening, I didn't see Xiao Gao appear.

Lao Zhang came over to me and told me that if I couldn't get in touch early tomorrow morning, I would call the police.

I thought about it, and told him what I had seen in the morning.

Lao Zhang's brows tightened together after hearing this.

"Are you sure you read that right?"

I nodded.

"But it was gone quickly, and I was confused."

"Don't tell anyone about this for the time being." Lao Zhang instructed me.

"Don't worry, I understand."

After dinner in the evening, I was upset and went out with a cigarette.

Guangzhou at night is not inferior to Beijing in the slightest. Ambilight, busy traffic.

I was leaning on the railing of the flyover and smoking, when suddenly WeChat rang. When I opened it, it was sent by Bai Xi.

It's a selfie, and she's smiling brightly in the night.

This little girl really couldn't be idle, and she ran out by herself and went crazy. Not to mention, it's quite photogenic.

Looking at the beautiful little face in the photo, I smiled unconsciously.

But after a moment, my smile froze - the background building behind her turned out to be the building of Yongfangtang! This ancestor went to Yongfangtang alone to hunt for curiosities!

I felt a "chuckle" in my heart, immediately pinched my cigarette, and hurriedly called Bai Xi, but no one answered. I trotted straight to CUHK South Campus.

What a pig teammate!

I'm going to bring her extra here. If something really happened to my aunt, I couldn't forgive myself.

By the time I ran to the bottom of the steps of Eifangdo, it was already completely dark. At the moment, on the high steps, there is a squatting person.

It's an old lady, looking like she's in her sixties. She held a pile of yellow paper in her hand and slowly put it into a copper basin in front of her, and a few flames burst out of the basin from time to time.

She was babbling and couldn't hear what was being said.

This old lady actually burned paper on the steps of the school building?
