Fake doubles and real actors

The morning passed quickly, and Qi Ming and Gu Debai took some pictures of the scenery while walking, and posted them in their personal feeds, and specially set a reminder that Charlie can be seen, as proof that they are serious about taking a vacation.

Taking the initiative to take a vacation is much better than forcing a vacation when your health reaches a critical point, so Qi Ming is very content, and has long since developed the habit of leaving evidence for vacations like handing in homework.

After all, it is a mandatory vacation, which is essentially the same as hospitalization.

Qi Ming finished editing the copy, clicked send, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't been serious enough to take a forced vacation for a long time.

For ordinary people, the interval of about two months may be only a short period of time, but before, he was dragged away by the doctor once or twice a month on average.

It was okay when he was abroad. Fans most commented that he was a not-so-prolific performer. Only he himself knew that it was because of the high workload and obsessive-compulsive sleeplessness that made him banned from working half of the time by the doctor.

Thinking of this, Qi Ming suddenly raised his head and found Gu Debai who was standing not far away with his eyes.

Gu Debai was also taking pictures, more professional and serious than him, if he hadn't turned around to find someone on a whim, he wouldn't have found out that he had been secretly photographed again.

With a click, Qi Ming standing in the center of the domino array was recorded by the camera.

Gu Debai didn't intend to hide it, he walked over with a smile, "I'll show you the finished product later."

Qi Ming's sense of the camera is actually very good, but Gu Debai has a special hobby, he likes to take pictures of him when he is most relaxed and not paying attention to the camera.

The array of cards has already collapsed, spreading from the center to all directions, like huge succulents blooming in petals, with a desolate aesthetic feeling like a ruined wall, Qi Ming standing in the center is silent, and his clean and stern temperament is set off even more charming.

"When chatting with Xu Shuliang before, I asked him why he likes Domino."

Qi Ming walked out along the gap between the card arrays, and said something, "He said, because Domino has a sense of destiny, which is the same as that of the movie."

"It really seems like something he would say." Gu Debai remembered Xu Gong's appearance either exuding childlike innocence, or thinking about philosophy.

"He said, it's like ... people think they just planted a seed, made a small choice, but in fact it's doomed at this moment. The way the dominoes are knocked down and collided, it's like It's the moment when all past causes explode into effect."

Hearing this, Gu Debai suddenly stopped.

Qi Ming walked out a few steps and felt it, and stopped accordingly, without urging or asking, and stood patiently waiting for him.

"It does have a sense of destiny."

After a while, Gu Debai popped out such a sentence, "I used to think that he was just talking, but this is the first time that I agree with Xu Gong's philosophical words so much."

Qi Ming smiled, "Yes, then he must be very happy to know."

Gu Debai couldn't be happier. He originally only regarded these things as toys, just like the building blocks he would play with when he was a child. In fact, he never had the patience to pile up building blocks.

But now, when Qi Ming said this, he suddenly felt that this thing was not a building block, but a symbol of his past lies one after another.

From the first innocuous lie he uttered, each of the subsequent ones are arranged in sequence, just to protect the previous one. It's just that one lie must wait for a hundred to be filled.

Before you know it, there are already too many of them to count, just waiting for one day to knock down one suddenly, and you will lose everything.

What awaits him is a fate that has been predestined to collapse all illusions of stability.

Gu Debai's complexion is not very good, and if he stays in these card arrays, he will be even more upset, thinking that this thing means that he is destined to lose Qi Ming, and is destined to break up unhappy.

He quickened his pace to keep up with Qi Ming, and walked much faster than before in agitation.

"However, the most interesting thing is," Qi Ming didn't notice that something was wrong with him, he was still thinking about Domino's philosophy of fate,

"Before all these interlocking causes and effects collapse, it is difficult to predict what the final result will be. From here, it is desolate and dilapidated. What we saw that day was a miraculous beauty."

"……Miracle?"

"Yeah, from this point of view, the meaning of this card array fits the movie very well." When it comes to artistic creation, Qi Ming always has a lot to say.

He turned to look at Gu Debai, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Debai shook his head, and put the back of his hand against his cheek. Fortunately, there should be no redness.

"Do you believe in miracles?"

Qi Ming wanted to say that he didn't believe it, but when he met Gu Debai's eyes, he changed his mind temporarily, "I believe it."

Gu Debai's mood suddenly changed, his eyes lit up, and he happily responded, "I believe it too."

After they went back for a walk, read books and played chess, they had lunch again.

Seeing that Gu Debai was actually playing chess, Fang Fang's eyes widened in shock, "You really have changed your gender!"

Gu Debai: "???"

Fang Cui patted himself on the mouth, "Sex changed."

Gu Debai: "..."

As soon as Fang Cui sat aside, he began to demolish Gu Debai,

"He never liked this kind of quiet and elegant things before. When a group of people go out to play, he likes to play exciting games. We even made a private bet on when he would be bored enough to go bungee jumping. Guess what? ? Ya Niu, just drag Xu Gong to play skydiving!"

Qi Ming didn't know whether it would be better to follow along a few times at this time, or to take care of Gu Debai's face, looking around, he could only smile.

Gu Debai kicked the bad friend under the table, "Don't say that there is nothing left, let's go, let's eat."

Then Fang Fang smiled and left, and took them to the prepared seafood barbecue. This time they learned the previous experience and lessons, in order to prevent mosquito bites, instead of doing it outside, they went to the roof instead, and added insect repellent The potion is much better.

The purpose of coming to the island is to eat seafood. They are all young people who are not afraid of getting angry, but eating and chatting is a bit boring.

Mr. Xu stood up and suggested, "Why don't everyone take turns to be in charge of baking, and whoever's turn it is, should tell everyone a story. It must be something that has been experienced by the person or someone close to him. It's interesting, how about it?"

A girl next to him booed and raised her hand with a smile, "Then tell a ghost story!"

The person next to her who looked like a girlfriend also opened her eyes wide, "Wow, this is exciting, I vote for ghost stories!"

"Isn't it you? You don't usually look very timid?" Their companion was a white and tender boy with a baby face, and immediately raised an objection, "No, what should I do if I can't sleep at night?"

"It's okay, after the talk, you will feel that there are people everywhere, and you won't be unable to fall asleep if you are accompanied by someone." His friend laughed beside him.

Gu Debai asked Qi Ming quietly, "If you don't want to hear it, should you wear earphones? You don't sleep well in the first place, or should we leave to eat something else?"

Qi Ming shook his head, "It's okay, I'm atheist, so I'm not afraid of this."

"That's good." Gu Debai nodded, relieved, "If you don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, then I'm fine."

The first few people who had their turn took the initiative to come first, and while they were roasting all kinds of delicious food, they told horror stories one after another.

It is indeed very scary, especially with the atmosphere of the isolated island in the sea, it is even more touching, but because the story is so good, not many people really believe it, it sounds too much like a story, not like an experience.

Qi Ming lowered his head and bit the squid, eating seriously, the small table in front of him was still clean, as if he didn't hear anything.

It was Lan Zhixian's turn at this time, as soon as he stood up and took the barbecue clip, someone below applauded cooperatively, a big star is especially easy to be teased.

Mr. Xu and the others were already protesting not to tell stories that were too fake. Lan Zhixian nodded, "Okay, then let me tell some real stories."

"Okay, okay, let's vote later! If it's not enough, I will punish myself with three cups."

Lan Zhixian chuckled, "If you want to punish me, it's too early."

Then he really started talking, talking about a distant relative in his hometown.

Lan Zhixian: "That distant relative lives in a village in the mountains. You know, it's very closed. Some people may come out early to work and do business, and they don't necessarily finish their studies. This experience is one of the illiterate uncles. of."

Gu Debai shook his head, and gave Qi Ming a piece of scallop meat. He just felt that the beginning was fake. There are a lot of ghost stories that claim to be in the mountains, just to create an atmosphere far away from modern society, which is easy to scare.

Lan Zhixian: "That uncle has never been married. He only had a lover when he was 40 or [-] years old. Unfortunately, he is a liar. He is not from the same village. We have not been together for a long time, so he lied to him that he was pregnant and asked him to send money. .”

Qi Ming ate the scallop meat, and also picked up a few pieces of cheese open-back shrimp for Gu Debai.

Lan Zhixian: "Uncle knew that he was going to be a father, and he was so overwhelmed by the joy that he asked him to do whatever he wanted. After spending a lot of money, he wanted to see her, but his parents-in-law stopped him and refused to recognize him. Soon, the lover called and told him that the baby was gone and it was stillborn."

When the people who were eating heard this, they let out low exclamations, and some even whispered, saying that this man is really miserable.

Lan Zhixian: "At that time, counting the months, the baby should have been formed, and my uncle was very sad. He gave his baby a nickname at home, set up a tablet, and shed tears every day. Some melon and fruit snacks, children's toys."

When Gu Debai heard the word 'tablet', he couldn't help looking at Lan Zhixian, "But there are no children?"

Lan Zhixian: "Yes, there was no such child at all, but he believed it was true, thinking that his child was dead, and set up a tablet for a non-existent person. This is where the problem started. Later, he broke up with that woman, but The spirit is getting worse and worse, I often have nightmares, and when it is severe, I have auditory hallucinations, and I always say that I can hear the baby’s laughter.”

Qi Ming saw that he had eaten half of the prawns and hadn't finished yet, so he picked up some grilled mushrooms for himself. He ate too much meat and was a little greasy.

Lan Zhixian: "Later, this uncle, I don't know when he started to be very strange. He started to buy a lot of baby products and went home. When asked, he said it was for children. The pain of losing a child can indeed drive a person crazy, but he has been He said that he was not crazy, but that the child came back. Later, when a neighbor passed by his house at night, he actually heard the faint laughter of the baby coming from inside."

Gu Debai's face was not very good, "Why? Did he kidnap and traffic people?"

Lan Zhixian shook his head, "They also suspected this way, thinking that he bought the child back, so they went to his house as a guest under an excuse, but they didn't see any traces of the child's life, only a pile of food, use, and play. Things are piled up like a hill, and the man is holding the tablet foolishly, smiling enthusiastically at the guests, and then teasing the tablet in his arms, saying, 'Quickly call auntie, call auntie, hey, good~'"

Gu Debai took a sip of the cocktail and felt a little cold on his back.

Someone asked curiously, "What happened next?"

Lan Zhixian has almost baked a lot of food at this time, and his hands can rest for a while,

"Later, someone helped to invite the sorceress to go there. The sorceress said that it was because he had enshrined the fake tablet for a long time, and the infant spirit of the lonely ghost attracted by it took the opportunity to occupy the enshrinement, so that he was allowed to attack evil. Later, he did it and ruined it. Tablet, that's fine. That uncle also questioned the woman back then, and learned that the baby thing was indeed a lie."

"That's it? That's it?? It's gone?"

Lan Zhixian nodded, "No, that's all. After all, it's a real incident and it's not so confusing. Some of my distant relatives over there knew this uncle. After telling this story, they warned us not to stand around at home easily. Tablets, especially fake ones, tend to attract dirty things."

"Ah, such a common story~ However, it is indeed a bit perverted, I vote! This is true, I believe it~"

A few people began to vote for Lan Zhixian's story. Although this story was far less scary and exciting than the previous ones, and it didn't scare anyone into screams or cold sweats, most people gave face and were willing to believe it was true. of.

Gu Debai shook his chopsticks, and the meat he picked up just now fell into his dipping sauce, splashing a few drops of water.

He was sitting with Qi Ming on one side, and Yuan Ye on the other side. The latter laughed suddenly when he saw this, "Boss, aren't you frightened by this, aren't you? The ones in front of you are even scarier and you don't have any reaction!"

Gu Debai forced himself to calm down, cleared his throat, "No, don't talk nonsense!"

Qi Ming looked at his face, but thoughtful, and quickly remembered that there was also a tablet in the corner of Gu Debai's study, which was for Bai Yueguang.Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had seen a shadow from a distance, and it was indeed offering fruits or something.

That Bai Yueguang was still alive and didn't need a memorial tablet at all. Gu Debai was so nervous, probably because he was worried by the too similar storyline.

Qi Ming patted him on the back understandingly, and comforted him in a low voice, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Your situation is different from that of the uncle in that story. He is a child who does not exist. Is yours a human being? exist."

After finishing speaking, he voted for a false vote. The reason was serious, and Gu Debai was so frightened that it must be a false one.

Gu Debai: "...I'm not afraid."

Qi Ming looked at him for a few seconds, and found that the consolation seemed to have had the opposite effect. He couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Really? Then why didn't you eat it?"

It is agreed that if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Gu Debai was talking about eating, he was eating, and without looking, he took a large piece of garlic and bit it into his mouth, his face turned green.
