After Chen Chuan was invited to the reception room inside the cinema, a waiter brought tea. After waiting for a while, a chubby middle-aged man came here. He might have been running all the way. He was panting and had leaks on his temples. Sweated.
After seeing Chen Chuan, he came up and held him with sweaty hands, and said enthusiastically: "I am Huang Dacheng, and your honor is Chen Chuan, right?"
Chen Chuan didn't care about the sweat on his hands, shook hands with him, and said, "My name is Chen Chuan. I am just a student of Wu Yi now, not a client yet."
Manager Huang's enthusiasm remained unchanged, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We know that Mr. Chen is young and promising, and I heard that you are an expert in this field. The conditions here are simple and the greetings are not good. Please come with Huang."
Chen Chuan followed Manager Huang up an open staircase. The latter introduced as he walked, "Our Lanxiang Cinema has investment from Molan Company. It can accommodate 5,000 people to watch movies here at the same time. It also has a complete Catering, dances, concerts and other services, many large social events in the city are held here..."
He talked nonstop, and then brought Chen Chuan to his office. This was a room decorated in a foreign retro style, with leather sofas, a large gilt writing desk, a row of wine cabinets with imported famous wines, and colored arched glass. , black and white checkered floor tiles, a large crystal chandelier hanging from the top, and a large gramophone in the corner of the room, with a golden horn pointed at the entire room.
At this moment, the curtains were open, and soft sunlight shone in from the outside. Chen Chuan took a few steps. From this angle, he could see the square outside. Below, there were well-dressed men and women coming in and out, and from time to time, there were luxury cars with unknown names driving by. Pass.
At this time, he heard a melodious melody. When he looked back, it was Manager Huang who turned on the gramophone.
Manager Huang walked up to him again and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, the location of our cinema is the best in the south of the city. Isn't it almost the end of the year? Citizens will choose to watch movies when they have free time, but... alas .”
Chen Chuan turned around and said, "Manager Huang, I'm here to solve this problem."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Chen. Oh, please sit down, please sit down..." Manager Huang invited Chen Chuan to sit on the sofa and asked, "Mr. Chen, what would you like to drink?"
Chen Chuanchuan: "Just boiled water will do."
Manager Huang raised his thumb and said, "Mr. Chen, this is a good habit. Drinking alcohol is harmful to the body and the drinks are highly sweet. However, for temporary pleasure, boiled water is better. It is diluted and peaceful. It is a gentleman's drink."
He went over and poured a glass of water for Chen Chuan himself and handed it to him respectfully.
Chen Chuan took it and said, "Thank you."
Manager Huang waved his fat hands and said, "Thank you politely. I want to thank Mr. Chen for coming all the way to help us solve the problem."
Chen Chuan stopped talking politely, skipped these, and asked directly: "Manager Huang, how many days has it been since the incident occurred? The information I received stated that it was about a month. Is there an exact date?"
When Manager Huang heard him mentioning business, he immediately got into the mood. His expression became a little more serious, he thought about it and said, "It should be twenty-five days."
Chen Chuan asked again: "Has it happened in the past?"
Manager Huang sighed, "Huang also heard some rumors before he took office, but Huang thought they were just weird rumors deliberately released to attract business. Mr. Chen, you know, the more weird rumors like this, the more attractive they are. After all, Everyone is curious.”
Chen Chuan understood this. He was also curious about mysterious things, but he wanted to explore the cause behind it and was interested in the source of that power. "Manager Huang, have you seen it with your own eyes?"
Manager Huang shook his head and shook his head quickly.
"Has it happened at other times?"
Manager Huang shook his head quickly and said: "Not yet, it's only from after eight o'clock to midnight."
Chen Chuan looked at him: "Apart from the few employees specified in the information, are there any other casualties or guests? I want to hear the truth."
Manager Huang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and raised a finger, "There was a drunk guest. We only found his body the next day. We didn't know how he got there that day. There was just one, real."
Chen Chuan did not go into details. He thought for a moment and said, "I have a general understanding. I will stay to deal with this matter tonight."
Manager Huang was overjoyed and came over to hold Chen Chuan's hand and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Chen. Huang will try his best to cooperate with Mr. Chen if he has any conditions."
Chen Chuanchuan: "My only condition is that no one should be around during that period."
Manager Huang nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course, definitely, by the way," he took out a card, handed it over with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is the VIP card of our cinema. You can occupy a box alone, and you can watch it for free all year round. Please accept the movies and song and dance performances, Mr. Chen.”
Chen Chuan was not polite and took it, "Thank you, Manager Huang, can we go see that place now?"
Manager Huang quickly said yes, but he didn't dare to go himself, so he asked a trusted assistant to take him to the venue where the accident happened.
This place can accommodate three hundred
People watched the movie at the same time. After turning around, he sat down in the middle and waited for a while. The surrounding area darkened. As the projection beam from behind came, the big screen in front lit up and started playing. of current movies.
Speaking of which, I was also a movie lover. I had a lot of movie posters posted at home, and I spent a lot of my pocket money on them. I was not even willing to buy new clothes.
In his previous life, his favorites were the Swordsman series and the Mysterious Cave series, but since he came to this life, he has been training hard and pursuing martial arts, and he has no time to watch them. But this time, the videos he played are all specially selected by him, which is considered as a gift. The predecessor made up for the regret.
While watching the movie, there was a waitress who brought soda and snacks on a dining cart. He didn’t touch the soda, but he tasted some of the snacks. He felt that fried mushroom slices were the best for him, with a crisp texture and a delicious taste. Not bad, no worse than the potato chips in the previous life.
Because he was here to deal with the problem, the surrounding seats were not open for sale, so he almost reserved the venue by himself and watched the movies one after another.
At dinner time, he walked out, had a sumptuous dinner in the restaurant, communicated with Manager Huang again, and then returned to the previous seat, still sitting in the same seat, and continued to watch the movie.
The surroundings were empty, and he was the only one sitting there under the huge screen, with the light above reflecting on his face from time to time.
Time passed by little by little. After watching another movie, he raised his watch and looked at it. It was almost close to midnight. It was during this time that the previous problem occurred.
He put down his hands and did not do anything unnecessary. Instead, he adjusted his breathing slightly to keep himself alert, and then continued to watch the screen.
At this moment, the above plot reaches a critical moment. The protagonist enters an unknown deep cave, and the light dims. Then the protagonist lights up the flashlight with a click, illuminating the scenery in the cave, and just as the light turns on In an instant, he suddenly discovered that a person suddenly appeared there two rows in front of his seat.
It seemed to be a woman. Only the long hair at the back could be seen, covering both shoulders.
Chen Chuan stared at the back and said in his heart: "Here he comes."
This is one of the urban weird stories in Yangzhi City, the midnight shadow in the movie theater. If a person is still watching a movie at Lanxiang Cinema at midnight, if he is alone, then there will suddenly be an extra audience to accompany him.
But you must not say hello to this audience at this time, because if you say hello, it may be that audience instead of you when you return home the next day.
He looked at it silently. The information Cheng Zitong gave him warned him that in order to deal with this urban ghost story, as long as he watched the movie during this time period for three consecutive days and did not leave the movie, the shadow would disappear automatically.
It is true that you cannot talk to the shadow during this process. The most important thing is that you cannot leave the scene in the middle, and you must not go to the front to look at the face of the shadow.
This should be the experience summed up by the predecessors. He had no intention of going beyond the limits. There was no need to take risks when there were simple ways to deal with it, so he just sat in his seat and didn't move.
At this time, he glanced at the "second self". Unsurprisingly, a faint shadow appeared on the second self, which was very similar to the situation when he met the doll in the well. This time, it seemed that this state was again It will last for a while, and because of the special nature of this strange story, it may last even longer.
He glanced at his watch. He just wanted to watch movies honestly.
Now, the night is still very long.
So he turned his attention to the screen again and watched it for more than three hours. After two movies, he felt something strange, not from the ghost, but from himself.
He found that the growth of his alienated tissue had actually accelerated a bit, but this process was subtle. If He Xiaoxing hadn't given him an observation skill that made him more sensitive to his alienated tissue, he would have hardly noticed it.
At this time, he suddenly realized, could this be how the virtualization of the second self came about? How similar is this to using drugs to stimulate alienated tissues, causing the body to be damaged to a certain extent?
So, weird stories also play this role to some extent?
No, it should be more than that.
He thought for a moment, and there were probably other injuries here that he didn't know about, but now these have been endured by the second self.
At this time, he also had an idea. If this was the case, could he use this strange story to guide the alienated organization?
In fact, he doesn't want to be troublesome, but now he is making up for the critical moment of correcting the alienated organization, especially since he has penetrated into some subtle places. He must not allow the alienated organization to grow on its own and disorderly, even if it is a slightly deviated part. It may cause hidden dangers in the future.
So he thought for a moment and used his breathing to guide it so that the growth direction could be controlled by himself.
A few hours passed by, and when the time came to four o'clock in the morning, he inadvertently looked up and found that the figure had disappeared at some point.
.
He sat for a while, then stood up from his seat, walked out, and walked along the corridor to the outside. He said something to the waiter who was waiting anxiously, and the waiter immediately ran out to notify Manager Huang.
When Manager Huang heard him coming out, he hurried over wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. When he saw him, he quickly said: "Mr. Chen, how are you doing?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I saw her."
Manager Huang's face turned pale and he stammered: "Of course, then..."
Chen Chuanchuan: "It will take about three days to clear up this strange story. I will be here in the next few days."
Manager Huang breathed a sigh of relief, looked happy again, and said, "Okay, please excuse me, Mr. Chen, for your hard work. We will definitely give you a satisfactory thank you gift afterwards."
Chen Chuan nodded to him, left the theater, took the theater's car back to school, took a nap, and continued his daily training.
On the second day, he did not go there during the day, but asked the car to pick him up around six o'clock in the evening. After arriving at the seat of the cinema, he sat in that seat again.
Manager Huang is very good at being a good person. There was a new batch of movies today, and many of them were newly released. He watched them until about twelve o'clock, but after arriving, he did not find the figure.
No, it's not that he didn't show up.
It's just that the figure's position is different from last time. It's no longer in the first two rows, but... right next to him.
