Cinephile hustle

When Elysee saw Haili, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.And Haili put his index finger on his lips and nodded, indicating that the other party would continue to play her role, and he would not expose it.Only then did Elysee breathe out, and sat down at the round table.

All were seated, Ian's on Haley's left and Mr Camporam on Haley's right.He did not forget to lean over and whisper in Haili's ear: "Usually, I don't believe this."

"I don't believe it either, so I really want to try to see what it feels like, will there really be ghosts haunting?" Haley and Mr. Camporam whispered from time to time.

Ian felt that he was not used to this atmosphere. He just wanted to stay away from Haili, but Haili held his hand calmly. The gentleman chatted happily.

Elysee's cold and distant voice sounded, all the conversation stopped, and the slight sound of the burning candle was so clear.

"We miss someone here, miss someone, and look forward to her crossing the other side of the Styx and coming to us again. We are here to blur the boundary between life and death, clear the mist of the Styx, and guide her on her way home ..."

What Elysee said, Ian was not interested in listening.He just dutifully observed a certain person's expression.

"Now everyone, please hold on to those around you, close your eyes, and empty your mind, from fingertips to limbs, from limbs to brain... Abandon all prejudices and doubts, and follow my voice."

Ian looked around, and almost everyone lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and held the people around them as requested by Elysee.

Including the Camporams.Although Mr. Camporam said that he didn't believe in such pretentious things at all, he was very cooperative at the moment.

Instead, it was Lawrence, sitting opposite Ian, with his eyes wide open, leaning against the back of the chair, with a mocking smile on his lips.

When he looked at Ian, he mouthed: "Liar."

It's rare that his parents spent money to invite Elysee to let him see his sister again. Unexpectedly, this young man didn't give face at all.

The wall clock on the wall ticks one frame at a time, indicating that morning is coming.

Ian wanted to loosen his collar, but Haley's hand was getting tighter and tighter.

He could feel the strength of Haili's fingers, the crispness of his bones, and his body was getting stiff little by little.

Ian became worried. Is this guy going to have a "crazy attack"?

impossible!He didn't meet Lucia, how did he get into the "empathy state"?

Wait, Haley said, he's gotta put on a show, too.

Let's hope the play he's about to act doesn't blow them all away!

"Come between us—Lucia!" Elysee suddenly called out.

All the candles on the table were suddenly extinguished, everyone's heartbeat accelerated, and time seemed to cool down suddenly.

Haili, who was holding on to Ian, slowly loosened his hand, but his whole body trembled against the back of the chair.

"Oh! My God! What's wrong with him!" Mr. Camporam turned his face sideways, and held Haley together with Ian.

Mrs. Camporam stood up. "My God! Does he have epilepsy! I'll go to the doctor right away!"

Several other young people were also completely panicked.

Ian put his palm on Hayley's chest, knowing he didn't have epilepsy.There's no way he'd be an agent, if ever.

Is this guy really acting?

Do you want to be so realistic?

"Everyone be quiet!" Elysee let out a roar, and then she leaned forward and came in front of Hailey, "If you are Lucia...please talk to us now."

Suddenly, Haili stopped twitching, raised his head calmly, and slowly opened his eyes.

He turned his head slightly and looked at Lawrence, his eyes were like the ripples that spread out when a butterfly fluttered its wings.

"Lawrence, I miss you. Did you bring me back Bonnie the bunny?"

Everyone stared blankly at Haili, even Mrs. Camporam was dumbfounded, "Lucia? Are you really Lucia? I am mother!"

"Oh... God..." Mr. Camporam was also dumbfounded.

Only Ian wondered in his heart, what the hell is Bunny Bunny?

"You can't be Lucia." Lawrence shook his head firmly, and stared at his parents fiercely, "Do you think I will believe you as a joint federal agent?"

"Lawrence, why are you ignoring me? Didn't you agree that you would weave a long dress for me with ten thousand white roses?"

Lawrence stopped and turned around blankly, "What did you say?"

"Lawrence, didn't you say you would marry me as your bride? Why didn't you talk to me when you came back?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this sentence.

Mrs. Camporam wiped away tears and said with a smile: "Yes, it's really Lucia... Lucia always said that she would marry Lawrence when she was a child! This silly child..."

Bonnie the Bunny is a type of lollipop that was popular many years ago.Candy makers make candies in the shape of bunnies and wrap them in beautiful cellophane.

Gradually, this sugar was replaced by other sweets with better taste.The Bunny Bonnie Candy Factory is also on the verge of bankruptcy, and their business scope is limited to Boston.

If Lucia had liked the candy, maybe Lawrence had promised to buy it from Boston for her.

Lawrence swallowed, he looked at Hailey, touched his cheek with trembling fingers, and slowly hugged him tighter and tighter.

"Will you still marry me?" Haili's pious and holy expression immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I can."

"Even if my skin is swollen, even if my body is full of maggots, even if I am no longer me...will you still marry me?"

"I will, I will!" Lawrence's embrace tightened more and more, while Haley's waist leaned back bit by bit, bending at an exaggerated angle.

"Ah—I can't breathe Lawrence...I just see the water...I call your name...Lawrence! Lawrence! Don't you always say don't be afraid! Even if my dear Lucia falls into the lake, Will you lift me up too?"

"I'm sorry! Lucia! Tell me what the hell is going on! Why you're drowning! Tell me the truth! Tell me the truth!"

Lauren held Haley, but couldn't straighten his waist.

It was as if there was some huge force trying to cut him in half.

Everyone shrank aside in horror, hugged each other, and watched Haili showing such a twisted posture. His facial features were not hideous, but his eyes seemed to be looking up at the other end of death.

"Quickly stop this channeling! If this continues, people will die!" Mr. Camporam grabbed Elysee.

"Mr. Impossible! Once the undead is invited, unless she leaves voluntarily!"

"Lawrence! That's not Lucia! Let him go!" Mrs. Camporam was also terrified. She tried to pull her son away, but she didn't expect Lawrence to go completely crazy.

"Tell me what happened! Lucia! Tell me why you jumped into the lake! Tell me!" Lawrence's eyes widened, tears dripping down his face.

"I see water...my body is sinking...I just call your name and I'm blocked by the flow..."

"Did someone push you into the water? Did someone..."

"Lawrence!" The Camporams pulled Lawrence away from left to right, and had no choice but to pin him to the ground.

But he raised his head persistently, watching Haili straighten up slowly, the expression of pain and struggle gradually faded away, and what remained was the coldness of desirelessness.

"Goodbye, Lawrence...and, I love you..."

Hailey fell backwards, and Ian quickly supported him with his sharp eyes and hands.

"Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights now!"

The lights in the room came on, and everyone looked at Haili with lingering fear.He closed his eyes, his forehead was covered with sweat, and fell into Ian's arms.

"Where is Lucia! Where did Lucia go!" Lawrence thumped the ground with his fist, trying to get up, but was held down by Mr. Camporam.

"Calm down! Lawrence! Calm down!"

Mrs. Camporam came to Elysee with her arms folded, "Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you say that the whole psychic process was fake? Why did Agent Hayley Russell become like that? !"

Elysee breathed out, "Madam, I just said that I will not try my best to complete this ceremony, but in order to make the process of the ceremony look real, so... its form is basically real... I can only say that your son I miss Lucia too much, and he has a strong desire to recall Lucia. It just so happens that Agent Russell’s physical and spiritual power may far exceed mine, and he regards this psychic as real, so... Lucia came When it came to him..."

"I don't accept your explanations! You leave Camporam's house now, I don't want to see you again!"

"But ma'am, you still have to pay me. I've done my job."

"Here! Here's the check! The farther you go, the better!"

Ian hugged Haili, leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Okay, Elysee has finished performing the trick with you, you can open your eyes now."

Hailey still had his eyes closed, looking very weak.

Ian frowned, covering his forehead, his heart sank, "He has a fever! My partner has a fever! What the hell is going on!"

Elysee came to the door, turned around and said: "Because Lucia's arrival has consumed a lot of energy in his body. He is very weak now."

"Go away! You nonsense liar!" Camporam yelled out for the first time without grace.

Everyone hurriedly carried Haili to the guest room of Camporam's house.

"I'm really sorry, if we hadn't invited Elysee, Detective Russell would not have encountered such a thing. No matter what you need, our Camporam family will fully cooperate."

"Dr. Doug is going downtown to attend a seminar and won't be back until noon tomorrow. I'm sorry to have my partner and I interrupt you at your house."

Ian sat on the edge of Hailey's bed, stroking his forehead.

He suddenly remembered that eight years ago, he took 15-year-old Haili to escape from the forest.Distraught, Hailey, who had developed a fever from an inflamed wound on his back, took him around town looking for a clinic.

Time blurred everything, leaving him with doubts about him, which made him disapprove of everything he did.

Lawrence stood by the bed, staring at the sleeping Hailey, and murmured, "Will Lucia come back?"
