Chapter 45 The Phantom of Hometown Part [-]

"After that morning, I never saw them again..."

After the narration was over, the camera turned. When Xiaojie returned to the village, he met the child in the old clothes with red background and green floral flowers. The two chased each other, and encountered several scary scenes just like yesterday. , which is obviously an extremely simple plot and a chase scene with few lines, but it made the audience extremely nervous, gasping one after another, creating a crowd of cheers in a huge movie theater with few people sitting Effect.

Until the climax of the film, when the scene where the old man is lifted up in the coffin, someone finally couldn't help but scream.

"what…"

Fan Xiaoyue couldn't help being frightened and let out a soft voice, but she reacted instantly and restrained her fear in time. While she felt ashamed, she was thankful that someone yelled louder than her, covering her voice.

She was quite frightened tonight. In order to ease her emotions, she picked up her phone and checked the time.

Well, there are less than 10 minutes left in the discrete field, and no matter how horrible it is, it will pass.

To be honest, the movie "The Phantom of Hometown" is the scariest domestic horror movie she has seen in recent years. The last time she experienced this kind of fear was staying up late at home with her girlfriends to watch "Death by the Curse" a few years ago At that time, "Cursed Death" is the most prestigious horror series in recent years. It is different from the uninnovative elements in traditional horror films. Some innovative horror scenes in it have created a new chapter in horror films. , Covered by the quilt, I finally feel a little safe in my heart, but after watching "Cursed Death", I am afraid that even getting under the quilt will not be able to dispel this fear.

As for domestic horror films, Fan Xiaoyue has also watched a lot of them, but due to related policies, ghosts are usually not allowed to be shown on the big screen, which has led to many horror films being sold out, no matter how scary the first half of the film is, how many horror films appear. The unexplainable weird phenomenon, there will be a big reversal in the second half, so that the previous unbelievable plots are all attributed to man-made, and this "man-made" usually involves a homicide case many years ago, the murderer either came for revenge, or Being entangled in love may be the interests of human nature, in short, it is all a routine.

Under the strong pressure of the rules, ghosts will not appear in horror films that can pass the review. This is already well known to everyone. Although the trailer of "The Phantom of Hometown" looks very scary, it is really aimed at horror elements. There are not many people, and everyone is looking at the hero's appearance, or to satisfy curiosity.

Fan Xiaoyue thought to herself, no matter how far-fetched the last 10 minutes of this movie, she decided to recommend Amway to other friends, especially those who like to watch horror movies.

"I ran from one house to another, I ran around, but I couldn't find the door to my house..."

Xiaojie, who had experienced extreme horror, ran wildly between the rows of houses in the village. He no longer hesitated, and shouted loudly: "Father, mother, where are you?" He shouted several times until the narration sounded , still in a gentle tone, as if talking about other people's affairs, it is unimportant, making people unable to hear the clue, but the scene is so intense that it makes people feel desperate.

The already dark picture gradually blurred, replaced by a pure white room.

There was a person sitting inside. He was against the light, making it difficult to see his appearance, but he was an adult man.

"Come with me, I'll take you to meet your parents," he said.

Xiaojie's pupils shrank, as if thinking of something, he backed away, shaking his head and refusing.

"I'm going back!" he said.

"Where are you going?" The man took a step closer.

"I want to go back to...the village." Xiaojie obviously hesitated for a while.

"Okay." The man nodded in agreement, took another step closer, and took his hand with a force that could not be refused.

He pushed open the door, the sunlight outside made Xiaojie unable to open his eyes, but it magnified his entire face on the silver screen in the most flawless way.

Under the direct sunlight, his eyeballs, which are as distinct as black and white ink, are so striking that they finally appear clear and pale. When they half-closed their eyes, a fragile light flowed out. Xiaojie's expression at that moment seemed to be at a loss. , It’s also like sadness, it’s too late to see that it’s fleeting and subtle.

The doorway is a muddy road. The road is narrow and bumpy, but it extends long and far to the end of the sky. The trees on both sides are very lush, and some branches and leaves grow wantonly to the point of blocking the road, but the fields behind them are all Large ripe golden yellow.

This is a very desolate journey, Xiaojie couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

The figure in front still didn't turn around, and walked all the way, the camera followed his footsteps, moving forward step by step, and didn't stop until he saw a car.

The car had turned over, the glass was shattered, and the front part of the car was deeply embedded in a tree.

Xiaojie took two steps back, his face showing a kind of bewilderment, but more of an emotion of wanting to turn around and escape.

The man grabbed him with one hand, but the camera still didn't show the man's face, only his hand was shown.

"Want to see your parents?" the man said.

Xiaojie looked at him without nodding or shaking his head.

"Follow me, and you can see me." The man said, and added, "They also asked me to come to you."

The two passed the car as if nothing was happening, and continued walking, arriving at the village within a few steps.

"The village is here." The man said and continued walking.

Passing the huge banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Xiaojie couldn't help taking a few more glances, but saw two long white cloths hanging on the banyan tree, and many sacrifices were placed in front of the statue.

When the two climbed up the slope, they saw the boy with green floral flowers on a red background. His eyes fell directly on Xiaojie. When he saw the two coming, he turned and left without saying a word.

The man followed behind him, Xiaojie followed the man, and the two walked together to the hall full of coffins.

In the middle of the hall at the moment, there is not one coffin, but two coffins.

The lid of the coffin was also open, surrounded by a circle of people, Xiaojie's expression became panicked, but the man pulled him up without any doubt.

The camera did not show the person sleeping in the coffin, but gave a close-up of Xiaojie's face.

His expression changed from struggling at the beginning to limp and heavy, and then became numb.

It is easy for people to guess the identity of the person in the coffin.

Afterwards, the scene gradually changed. The heavy wooden coffin turned into a thin and light crystal coffin, the ground also turned into tiles, and everything around it became a modern look, including the people surrounding the two coffins.

This is clearly inside the funeral parlor.

People dressed in decent clothes, weeping softly from time to time, stood in a circle and walked slowly around the coffin.

Only Xiaojie and the man stood still, Xiaojie's face was blank, like a puppet.

The man took Xiaojie's hand, led him through the crowd, and asked, "Did you see them? Now do you want to go home or go back to the village?"

With trembling lips, Xiaojie took a while to reply, "I want to go back to the village."

Hearing this, the man sighed softly and replied "OK".

Pushing open the door, outside the door is the familiar scene in the village, uneven ground, rows of dilapidated brick houses.

The two walked to one of the doors, Xiaojie took off the rusty lock and walked in, but the man did not enter the door again.

Xiaojie first went to the door of his parents' room, opened the door and looked inside, but there was no one there.

He walked to the door of the room where he had only slept for one night with a blank face, and pushed it open hard.

He wanted to climb into bed, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the two black and white photos hanging on the wall, which were obviously his parents.

"Ah——" Xiaojie yelled, tears streaming down his face before he knew it, he rushed out the door, but the moment he stepped out of the room, he was stunned.

The furniture, floor and walls in the picture all reveal that this is a modern suite unique to the city, with a large-size TV with a thin LCD screen and some new electronic equipment, documents are piled up on the sofa, and there are only two or three shoes in the entrance. Yes, but it looks like they are all alone.

This apartment is obviously a very personal room, like a single man's residence, there is no trace of other people.

The door was open, and the man was still standing there, unmoving.

Xiaojie walked towards him, his eyes were full of pain and despair, and his teary face looked embarrassed in the close-up of the camera.

The narration that hadn't appeared since the strange man appeared finally spoke again.

"It was a dream and I will wake up soon."

Following this narration, the screen suddenly went dark.

When the screen was turned on again, Xiaojie was lying on a bed. He opened his eyes, tears still remained on his eyelashes and cheeks, and there was a dark mark beside the pillow.

He stood up slowly, his face dazed.

Until a gentle cry came from outside the door: "Xiaojie, why don't you get up yet, you're going to be late!"

The camera cuts to the door of the room, where a woman is busy walking around.

Xiaojie quickly got off the bed and walked out of the room.

In the living room, there is a big heavy TV against the wall, which is playing the morning news. The furniture is made of Chinese-style wooden tables and chairs. On the breakfast table, there is father’s flip phone. He is eating breakfast , while watching TV news.

He subconsciously looked towards the entrance, where there was a shoe rack. There were several pairs of men's leather shoes, women's high heels, and children's sneakers.

The morning light came in through the window, and the gauze curtain was gently lifted by the wind.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the relaxed expression appeared on the face of the naughty boy again. He sat down and said wrongly to the mother sitting beside him: "Mom! I had a terrible dream!"

"Dream..." Xiaojie hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I dreamed that you all passed away. Fortunately, all of this is a dream!"

After he finished speaking, he flinched as if afraid of being scolded.

Seeing that his parents didn't respond in particular, he looked at the two of them with a little doubt, only to see that the mother beside him was smiling at him, with an indescribable warmth in her smile.

He looked at his father who had been silent all this time, and the man was also looking at him with a smile. When he saw him looking over, he reached out and rubbed his head lovingly.

This scene is so gentle and peaceful.

Xiaojie finally laughed too.

He smiled silly, and there seemed to be water in those beautiful black and white eyes, with an expression of unknown origin.

It looks like great happiness, but also like... faint sadness.

The last shot was fixed on Xiaojie's eyes.

It was a heartbreaking look.

Even Ye Weilin, who was sitting below, was a little stunned. He always felt that Yin Lan's acting skills were good, but to what extent, it really only had to be zoomed in on the screen to give people the most intuitive shock.

The one-and-a-half-hour movie came to an end with that look in his eyes.
