Chapter 147. Case 19: Late-night couples
After a long while, Mr. Li recovered from Hu Zongren's deliberate fright just now, and he continued, and then he didn't dare to approach the door curiously, and originally planned to wait for the time that Mr. Dojo said in a few days, and then go in to have a look, but all this was ruined by a colleague who didn't know it.
Mr. Li said that the unsuspecting colleague was one of their projectionists. About three or four days after the door was sealed, one night, the staff of the other halls went home because they had finished the midnight movie, and at about two o'clock in the morning, the projectionist returned to the cinema and opened the door of the screening hall without authorization. I asked Mr. Li, didn't you lock it up yourself? Why can that person go back? Mr. Li said that the projectionist is equivalent to a technician in a movie theater, and sometimes he does the daily maintenance of the equipment, so he has the key and has been working here for many years. I asked Mr. Li again what he was doing when he went back to the cinema in the middle of the night. Mr. Li shook his head and said helplessly, this is the problem in our management, this projectionist knew that there was no one in the cinema at that time at night, so he brought his girlfriend back to the cinema, planning to show her the movie, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was for.
Hu Zongren took over and said, probably because the hall of Zhilu Dao has been empty for the past few days, so in order not to let you find out, it is also the safest. Mr. Li nodded and said, probably so, but after he entered the screening room, he specially moved aside the things that the previous master had made, and began to show movies to his girlfriend, and then returned to the screening room to watch it with his girlfriend.
Mr. Li said that the later content is a long story. Because the next morning after that day, when we came to work, we found that the lock of the screening room had been opened, so I was very anxious, so I rushed inside to see, at first I thought it was a thief or something the first night, but I went inside and found that there were two people, a man and a woman, sitting in the middle of the middle of the screening room, a man and a woman, the man was our projectionist, the lights on the screen were still on, but the movie was finished, and there were several other colleagues around us. At this time, our projectionist and his girlfriend were rolling their eyes with their mouths open, and their heads were leaning back on the back of their chairs. I asked Mr. Li, so people are dead, right? Mr. Li shook his head and said, people are in good health, they are not dead, but they seem to have convulsions, similar to a coma.
He told us that among all the people present, only he knew what was probably because of him, but it was still important to save people at the moment, so he immediately called 120 with his colleagues to send the two people to the hospital, and after first aid, both of them woke up, but our projectionist seemed to be in a trance, and his girlfriend was a little broken and talking nonsense, but it didn't look like she was mentally ill.
Hu Zongren said that he was probably frightened, and if there was no mental problem, he would naturally get better after a while. Mr. Li nodded and said, That's right, but that man is our staff after all, and he went back to the cinema in the middle of the night to occupy public equipment because of personal matters, we still need to investigate clearly, and I also knew that he would become like that because he was scared at all. So I went to visit him in the hospital that day, and he was a little embarrassed when he first saw me, knowing that he had brought all this on himself after all. And I didn't tell him directly that the screening room was haunted or anything like that at the beginning, but asked him very concerned about what was going on, and why the two of them would become like that.
At the beginning, the projectionist was still a little distracted, like a memory gap, and I couldn't say it clearly, probably because I was surprised by everything that happened that night, which was incredible. Later, when I repeatedly reassured him and promised him that he would not pursue him for this incident, he slowly told me what had happened that night.
He said that he sat next to his girlfriend after the movie was played, and when the two of them were watching the movie sweetly, but when a more touching scene appeared in the movie, not far from the left behind him, there was a woman's cry that seemed to be whimpering. At first, he thought it was the sound in the movie, because the movie theater itself is relatively loud, usually this sound is not heard, so he didn't care, but it didn't take long for him to hear a cry similar to that of a child, he said that it was not the kind of baby-like cry, but like a child about one or two years old, a relatively clear cry. The sound was very small at first, but it got louder and louder, but it was not so loud that it exceeded the sound of the theater, but at this time, he and his girlfriend noticed that the voice was seriously misaligned with the plot, and it was not the sound in the movie at all.
The projectionist said that he was still startled at the time, and thought that he had secretly come back to watch the movie in the middle of the night and was told by his colleagues or leaders, but he soon thought that it was already two or three o'clock in the morning, even if someone came, how could he bring the child? And after entering the screening room, the door is obviously closed, and if the door is opened, I can sit in a position where I can see the light coming in after opening the door. When he thought of this, he began to feel a little frightened, because the place where the sound came from was behind him, and there was no passage in that place, which meant that if the person who made the sound had not been there in the morning, it would have been impossible for him to go to that place without him noticing. When he thought of this, he began to turn his head to look, but found that there was nothing in the range behind him, and the light of the movie on the screen reflected back to the viewing area, in fact, even if it was still dark, he could see the outline of the surroundings clearly, but he didn't find anything.
He was feeling strange, so he asked his girlfriend if he had just had auditory hallucinations, how could he hear the sound of a child crying. As a result, his girlfriend's answer made him feel even more scared, she said that there was a crying voice, I thought it was a voice in the movie. So he became frightened, stood up and looked behind him again, and this time he saw a woman, sitting expressionlessly in the position behind them, holding a child in her hand, about two years old, with messy hair, watching a movie.
This frightened him, he intuitively judged that the woman and the child were not people at all, so he screamed and pulled up his girlfriend and planned to run, but no matter which direction he was going, the female ghost appeared in front of him with the child, and his girlfriend also saw the female ghost, and screamed in fright, and after several times he couldn't escape, he was forced back to his seat by the female ghost, chanting Amitabha Buddha vigorously.
Hu Zongren interrupted Mr. Li and said, Didn't the previous Mr. Dojo say that he was a female ghost? Why is there another child here? Mr. Li shook his head and said that he didn't know what to do, and then he went on to say, and then the projectionist and his girlfriend had been chanting the scriptures with their eyes closed, and the same as the previous female staff, their closed eyes were brushed by something, and then they opened their eyes and looked, and they never remembered the things behind, and the last picture in my impression was that the woman and the child were very close to the tip of their noses, standing face to face with him, and opening their mouths very hard, But he didn't make any sound, as if he was in pain, but he didn't make a sound, and his mouth was so black that he couldn't see anything.
Mr. Li suddenly stopped when he said this, so he gave Hu Zongren and me enough time to put ourselves in the shoes of the scene at that time, which made me feel very scary. I know that ghosts usually scare people, but that's because people are afraid of ghosts. All of these encounters, like those encountered by Mr. Lee, seem a little abnormal to me, because if the ghost itself is not meant to be scary, it is obviously not, and in various ways, even people like me are afraid. But if it's just to be scary, the motive is too simple, and even a little boring, plus I think that someone broke into it in less than 7 days, moved the previous gentleman's formation, and didn't close the door yet, will it cause this ghost to escape from then on.
So I hurriedly asked Mr. Li, after this incident, did any other strange things happen in your movie theater? Because I'm afraid that ghost has escaped. Mr. Li shook his head and said, "That's not the case, but after this incident, many colleagues came to the hospital to visit the projectionist, and some of the words I forgot to tell him, he told other colleagues openly, so in a short period of time, not only our staff knew about it, but even other businesses in this building, there were a lot of knowledge. Every time I pass by, I always hear people whispering behind my back, which has greatly affected our reputation.
Mr. Li said that as a way to deal with the emergency, our company first refuted the rumors about this matter, and explained that it was the aging of the housing equipment, which caused some non-human situations, so we erected a sign outside, saying that we were decorating, and we planned to forget about this matter a little bit after a while, and we also thoroughly dealt with this matter before reopening for business. During this period, except for a few managers, other colleagues went home to rest first.
Hu Zongren said, no wonder we didn't see anyone when we came in, I couldn't help but eat popcorn if I wanted it!
