Chapter Thirty-Five: Vera: Hell Cinema
I've never seen hell before, but I think the building in front of me gives me that feeling right now, and I clenched my movie ticket tightly, and I couldn't help but regret it.
That's right, this movie ticket was taken from the old man. Seeing the appearance of those two grandchildren, I don't know why I actually had a trace of unbearability in my heart, the ghost made the god worse, I actually said something like "give me the ticket, I'll go instead of you". After hearing me say this, the old man's dead eyes suddenly flashed with light. Then, he handed me the movie ticket.
The address marked on the movie ticket is indeed located in a small town not far from the village, as the old man said. According to the old man, the town was actually not big, and it was really hard to imagine that there would be a theater there. Originally, he still went to that town often, but since the fatal movie ticket incident, the people in the village are reluctant to go, and they don't know what the town looks like now.
Following the old man's instructions, it took me less than half an hour to reach the town. The old man's worries were not unfounded. The town is not a town anymore, but more like a ruin. And after walking out of the old man's village, I finally understood why I walked down to the ground even though I was walking down. It turned out that the old man's village was located in a basin-like place, about a hundred meters shorter than the surrounding area, which made me a little amused at my timidity.
When I came to the town, most of the houses in the town had collapsed, and all that was left was a few broken bricks. I could see the whole town almost at a glance. I couldn't help but smile wryly. How can there be a cinema here? I looked at the ticket in my hand. The address above clearly points to this town. This surprised me a little.
It took a lot of effort to find the sign for the alley in my movie ticket under a pile of dilapidated rubble. This alley is relatively complete, and when I turned into the alley, I was stunned.
The scene that appeared before my eyes was what I saw now, a very old two-story building, with no windows, and the outer walls were covered with dense creepers. And in the legitimacy of architecture. There is a gate about two meters wide and more than three meters high, and at this time, the door is closed. Next to the gate, there was a small room with a window above it. This should be the ticket gate. The whole room gave me an eerie feeling, and it made me feel like a beast that chose people to devour.
At this time, in front of the ticket gate, there were already many people in line, all of whom had a movie ticket in their hands. I counted them roughly. There were about thirty people, and none of them spoke. I just stood there with a solemn face, and I should be the latest. Because after waiting for a while, no one came.
"Knock, knock, knock" As I looked around, a low bell rang overhead. This is supposed to be the kind of old-fashioned wall clock that lingers in this silent environment, giving people a tingling scalp.
"Wicking." At some point, the window of the small room opened. It was very dark inside the room, and I couldn't see the ticket inspector even after trying hard for a long time.
The person at the front of the line handed over the ticket in his hand, stretched out a snow-white arm from the small window to take the movie ticket, and quickly handed it out again: "Okay, you can go in." ”
With a screeching sound, the door slowly opened. The first man did not resist, but slowly walked through the door, disappearing into the darkness.
I was stunned when the second person handed over the ticket, and a ruby ring in her hand caught my eye. Originally, the person was wearing a hat, and I couldn't see her face clearly. But I know the ring, and it's the same engagement ring I gave to my friend before this trip. Seeing the second person disappear behind the gate, I hurriedly pushed away the person in front of me and squeezed towards the gate as fast as I could.
The people in front of me didn't resist or complain, and when I was halfway there, I started to notice that something was wrong. Even if they knew that something terrible would happen when they came here to watch a movie, they wouldn't have had such a good temper. You know how hard I'm working, and I know it myself. Anyone who is pushed by me like this will be more or less dissatisfied.
I stopped, swallowed, and looked at a middle-aged man beside me. This look makes me shudder. This middle-aged man's face was as white as a piece of paper, and what scared me the most was his eyes, there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes, which was different from ordinary loss of mind, this kind of look was like a person who had lost his soul. Needless to say, the people behind me, the people in front of me, must be like that.
I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and continued to squeeze to the front of the line. The pale hand stretched out from the window again: "Check the ticket!" ”
I hurriedly handed over the movie ticket in my hand, although I have some strength, but I still have self-knowledge, after listening to the old man describe the tragic death of people who don't go to the movies, I know that the people in this theater are definitely not so easy to mess with, so even if I am anxious now, I still wait for the ticket inspector to check the tickets.
The hand retracted for a long time and there was no movement, and just as I was about to rush in, a puzzled voice came from inside the hut: "This ticket is not yours, is it?" ”
……
At this point, Vera paused. She looked at us and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I really can't think of any good stories, so I'll talk about so much first." ”
I nodded, looked at the time, it was already past one o'clock in the evening, nodded and said, "Jace, so be it." ”
On the walls around him, Jace's yawning voice came from the surrounding walls: "Ah~~~~~ it's a boring story, but it's not bad, at least some of the descriptions and metaphors are better than the first day, okay, so be it, seriously, I'm looking forward to the following story more and more, although the narrative of a few of you is not very good, but the plot of this story is really fascinating." ”
After waiting for a while, seeing that Jace didn't speak again, we got up one after another and returned to the room. Tomorrow, it's Lara's turn to tell the story to the suspected witch, and I hope she doesn't mess with me.
……
"How?" Viskelin asked, looking nervously at Goody.
At this time, Goody was in the form of a werewolf, he waved his hand violently, and three claw shadows swung out, actually drawing three claw marks on the walls of the ancient castle, Goody nodded and said: "This berserk potion is much better than the previous one, and it can actually leave traces on the wall blessed by your magic, not bad." ”
Viskelin jumped up and slapped Goody on the head: "I'm asking you, how is your memory!" ”
Goody returned to his adult form, quickly picked up his clothes from the side and put them on: "Hey, let me tell you, if you beat me like this again, you will become stupid, you really can't remember anything, and you will be responsible when the time comes!" ”
Looking at Goody who was dressed, Viskelin smiled: "If you are responsible, you are responsible, what clothes to wear, anyway, you have already been seen by me, how is your memory recovered, the memory recovery potion I made for you used a lot of my raw materials." ”
When Veskelin said this, Goody's face turned slightly red, and he avoided her gaze and said: "It's okay, remember a little, but it's all intermittent fragments, Kailin, I can be basically sure now, that man is my captain, Luo Xi." ”
Viskellin nodded: "Well, that's good, by the way, your captain has been gone for several days, aren't you worried?" ”
Goody frowned and sat down on a stool: "Probably not, there should be no trouble with a master like Sister Gu by the captain's side." ”
Viskelin sat down beside Goody, put her hands on her cheeks and said: "Well, that woman's strength is indeed good, if I face her, I will have a seventy percent chance of winning at most, if it is an open move, I am afraid that only the Pope in the church can fight with her, but if it is a conspiracy, I am afraid that your captain is in danger, especially that person should still be in the church." ”
Hearing what Veskelin said, Goody asked with some confusion, "Who are you talking about?" ”
Veskelin blinked her eyes and sighed slightly: "She is a disgrace to our witches, originally my most proud disciple, when the 'Judgment Day' came, she took refuge in the church, I remember that she had no father and no mother, and when she came to me, the name was still given by me." Her name is Lackelline, I used to call her Lala, she is very good at intrigues, according to her knowledge of witchcraft, she should still be alive, if your captain meets her, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
