What should she see?
After being told that sentence, Lu Ning subconsciously thought about the meaning of it. Then she felt that her fingers were a little stiff, as if they were stuck to the camera, and the camera followed the protagonist's route uncontrollably. Offset, that's not actually what Lu Ning needs to shoot from this position.
But the director didn't shout to stop. No, Lu Ning wasn't sure whether she could hear the director's voice now. She could only watch the shooting on the screen attentively.
The protagonist sneaked into the mansion as a servant, and of course he didn't go through the front door. Chai Ying's acting skills are good, at least from a shooting point of view, she really interprets the appearance of an avenger who cautiously approaches his enemies. But soon, Lu Ning saw something that did not exist in reality appear in the camera - a person.
He wore clothes consistent with the costume and stood among the servants, but no such person existed in reality. Lu Ning couldn't see his face clearly, it was as blurry as if it was covered by frosted glass. If she tried adjusting the focus of the lens, she could actually find that the face could be made clearer by this method, but Lu Ning still chose to stay put.
The man turned his head and glanced at Lu Ning, as if he was smiling. There was a gaping hole in the face of the blurred face. "He" raised his finger and pointed lightly to the side. Lu Ning looked over there and found that it was a corner door of the yard, which was also the entrance to the yard. The door through which the protagonist enters.
"Card."
Yu Zhan suddenly shouted, allowing Lu Ning to regain control of her body. Wei Zhan waved his hand and asked everyone to take a rest while he started to watch the section he had just taken to see if there was anything that could be better. Chai Ying and several other main characters also came together and started discussing.
Lu Ning thought for a while, found Ke Daolin next to her, and whispered to her what she had just seen.
"Are you going to follow the instructions of that thing?" Ke Daolin pondered for a moment, "This may be a way to open up the situation, or it may be a path of no return, and the latter is more likely."
"I know, but I want to give it a try." Lu Ning said, "Since the other party takes the initiative to invite us, we can't show weakness."
"Before four o'clock." Ke Daolin glanced at her watch, "If you don't come back, then I will find a way to find you and unite all tourists."
"Thanks."
After getting ready, Lu Ning quickly walked to the corner door. She looked outside and saw nothing unusual. She took a deep breath, then rushed out through the corner door.
=
breathe.
The black stone slabs on the street were soaked with water, and the damp breath was filled with strong fragrance and stench. The aroma was like a poorly mixed perfume, and the stench was as disgusting as feces.
Lu Ning remembered seeing somewhere that after diluting the odor tens of millions of times, you can get the fragrance. The two are from the same source. But what does she want to do with all this mess now?
It took a few seconds for Lu Ning to realize the current environment.
A city with the main tone of black and gray. The streets are very wide, at least as spacious as a modern four-lane. However, the buildings on both sides of the street are in a relatively dilapidated state. They are not pure ruins. It just gives people an intuitive feeling. They are all in a state of disrepair. The buildings are all masonry structures, and the style is not uniform. Because the sky is dark, you can only see about twenty or thirty meters ahead. Within this field of vision, she only saw one living person.
A skinny beggar squatted on a curved step. He only wore a dirty rag from the waist down, and a gray turban on his head. His unkempt beard hung down on his chest, and his cloudy eyes turned white upward. You could smell the smell coming from him from a long distance away. The smell of alcohol and ammonia. In any case, he was the only person Lu Ning could find so far, so she walked over.
The beggar stared at Lu Ning with white eyes. He made some grunting sounds like those of a drowning person. His voice was blocked and hoarse. It took several seconds to turn into syllables that could be understood by others.
"A person... a ship... oh, oh."
"What kind of ship?" Lu Ning asked.
The beggar laughed. He clapped his palms gently, then pointed at Lu Ning and shouted, "Are you alone? Have you come to a place like this alone?"
"What is this place?" Lu Ning asked.
After hearing this question, the beggar spent half a minute "thinking" and then pointed to a dirty sign on the opposite house.
There is a rose pattern on the tag. If you don't consider the stains on it, the pattern looks quite delicate.
"Rose...Rose Street." The beggar whispered, "Moored, soul, a ship that has lost its anchor will disappear into the harbor. You...you are a person, can you come here alone?"
"Why can't a man come here?"
"The anchor point is too easy to lose. Do you like it here? I don't like it very much, but I can't find the way back, it's like a fog..." The beggar murmured to himself, "I can see there is an anchor on you. The point is very strong, but not strong enough. One person, one ship, this is not a harbor, this is a cemetery."
Lu Ning sighed slightly, pointed to the room with the rose sign and asked, "Is there anyone in that room? Can I knock on the door?"
"Knock on the door... Rose, Miss Rose will tear you to pieces." The beggar laughed, "Do you want to park? Then you should go forward, to a safer place. Nightingale, there is Nightingale there you."
"That means you can knock on the door, but there is a risk?"
Lu Ning didn't know if she was crazy, but she was really understanding every word of this beggar. She could understand some of the metaphors, but most of them sounded like crazy.
"Red, red, the color of roses is all red. Miss Rose, sharp and charming Miss Rose... Wu..." The beggar started to cry. Seeing that he could no longer communicate, Lu Ning could only shake his head, He turned and walked towards the door of the house where Rose was listed.
There was a clean smell of blood in front of the door. If we want to make an analogy, it is like a place like a hospital. Human beings use blood as a prop in an orderly manner through certain tools, which does not bring fear to people. Lu Ning didn't know why she felt like this, but she only paused for a moment before raising her hand and knocking on the door.
After three soft sounds, silence returned. There was only the whimpering sound of the beggar behind her, so Lu Ning did not continue to knock. She had a strange feeling, as if she had a certain connection with the people in the room. She knew that the other person was coming, and she could even...feel the other person's footsteps, the feeling of stepping on the old carpet, and the feeling of holding something in her hand. The door was right in front of her.
Lu Ning took a small step back, and the door was suddenly opened from the inside. A woman wearing a rose-patterned nightgown stood at the door, holding a utility knife in her hand.
"Um?"
Both sides let out a surprised groan at the same time.
There was no doubt that the person in front of Lu Ning had an appearance that was almost exactly the same as his own, and at most he looked a few years younger. The other party also recognized Lu Ning's appearance, and the knife in his hand stopped mid-waving.
"You actually look like me." "Miss Rose" raised a nasty smile on her lips, "It's really unpleasant to look at."
"It seems that you are a person with whom we can communicate normally... No, I think we may have a deeper connection." Lu Ning ignored the malice in the other party's words.
"Two identical faces - it would be weird if there was no connection. But that doesn't stop me from looking at you. Maybe I should peel off your face and hang it at the door to remind those trash who dare to knock on the door!"
Miss Rose stabbed Lu Ning directly with the utility knife, but she didn't seem to know much about martial arts. Lu Ning easily grabbed the opponent's wrist first and then twisted it away from the opponent's hand. The blade then stumbled, but unexpectedly Miss Rose's body slipped and she immediately broke free from her grasp and shrank towards the door.
"Turns out he's a guy with some skills, but I've dealt with people like you a lot!"
"We can fight at any time, but before that, I hope you can tell me what is going on here. I can already feel the power boiling in your body. Are you completely unaware of me? Lu Ying ?" Lu Ning said calmly.
"Miss Rose" was suddenly stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Ning carefully, and the cruelty on her face faded a lot.
"I didn't expect it to be you."
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Ning shrugged, "Just think of it as after-sales service. Should you tell me how you are doing and why you are here?"
"Because this is Rose Street." Lu Ying restrained her posture and made way for Lu Ning, "Come in, anyone who gets lost here will easily disappear forever. It doesn't matter even if you die, but it's best not to be on Rose Street. "
"Why?"
"There is a legend that a ship without an anchor will eventually become a ghost ship." Lu Ying hummed softly, "Be careful of those confused souls, they keep grabbing just to grab something they can never get."
"What kind of song is this?"
"The songs circulating in the ruins are said to be from a ghost ship." Lu Ying brought Lu Ning into a dark room, then she snapped her fingers, and suddenly a spark appeared on the wall. An oil lamp hanging on the wall was turned on, bringing some dim light into the room.
Lu Ning noticed that everything in the house had scratches.
"Your super power..."
"Of course I still have it. Speaking of which, I still need to thank you. After all, without you, it would be impossible for me to obtain such superpowers. By the way, I now name it [Wound Sculpting] because I have grown Now, I don’t plan to use the name you gave me anymore, how about that?”
Lu Ying's character is still bad. Lu Ning has long known that she is essentially a villain, but Lu Ning just doesn't care about her viciousness.
"After I left, everything was returned to you. You are free to do whatever you like. Now I just want to know where this place is. Rose Street? Or is it the ruins you just mentioned? I need an explanation."
"If you want a too specific explanation, I can't explain it to you. Because even I only dare to hide here. As long as I dare to leave this room for more than one kilometer, my safety will not be guaranteed."
"So where does the danger come from?" Lu Ning asked.
Lu Ying picked up a teapot from the side and poured herself a cup of cold tea.
"This is the harbor."
She put the cup on the table and did not pour a cup for Lu Ning. Her face was a little gloomy, and she kept rubbing her fingers on the edge of the teacup. After a long time, she continued: "Generally speaking, a person like you cannot enter the harbor alone. You are located inland, and you and There is a natural barrier here, unless you are extradited here."
"It's very possible, but excluding that, what's going on with the harbor?"
"I can't describe it. It's very big here, but it's too close to the sea. This is the last anchor point, or the public anchor point. Those lost and wandering guys must rely on this link to maintain normality. If the anchor point If they break, they will become unknown entities floating on the sea, which we call ghost ships."
"You said too many things that I don't know." Lu Ning pointed out.
Lu Ying sneered: "You don't need to know. Knowing too much is worse. Do you understand? Even I don't dare to understand. Why do you want to dig into the root of the problem when you are just here? You haven't lost your own anchor point. You can still go back." Go into your interior.”
"I don't know how to go back. And I didn't enter here by mistake. There must be the person who 'extradited' me. Shouldn't I find out what his purpose is?"
"It shouldn't be." Lu Ying said categorically, "This is for the sake of our acquaintance. No matter who that person is, you should leave it alone and live well in your inland area. It is best never to come to the port. here."
"How to go back?" Seeing her insistence, Lu Ning gave up asking questions directly.
"Your clearest anchor points your path, Lu Ning." Lu Ying grinned, "And you have a very clear anchor. Of course, you can't see it because your thinking is still normal and far away from us. It's too far. I can help you, but I can't help you in vain - the fact that I didn't kill you is already very different from my usual self."
"Your condition is worse than when we parted, but since you didn't ask for help, you probably don't need my help. By the way, I have another question." Lu Ning added.
"What?"
"The beggar outside said at the end, 'There is Nightingale.' It's a coincidence, but it's not a special coincidence, right? Nightingale and Rose, I want to know who is Nightingale?" Lu Ning asked.
"You know." Lu Ying picked up the tea cup, "Of course it's that person, no, it's those Dr.Ds who have lost their individual consciousness."
