Top stream at Infinite Theater [Infinite]

Early the next morning, everyone woke each other up and gathered under the withered locust tree in the courtyard.

The sky in this world is always gloomy, and the daytime seems to be covered with a cold film, and the cold wind that does not know the season makes people nervous.

"Did you see the countdown?" Shen Tongyu was still well-dressed, but Cheng Xiyou, who was in the room with him, had dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

The mental state of the two girls was not very good. Chen Tong was a little calmer than yesterday, but he still cowardly leaned against Qu Rui, aggressive towards the surrounding vegetation.

After Shen Tongyu asked, everyone nodded one after another. The sound was suddenly startled last night, and it made people feel nervous. How could they not notice the countdown of the script.

The shooting task was completed within 120 hours, exactly five days, and 7 hours have passed until now, but the newcomers present had no clue at all, and they didn't know where to start.

Shen Tongyu said: "Since it is written in the script that we are going to discover the hidden secrets of the village, then our task must be to explore the village. To save time, I suggest that we form a team of two, two girls and boys. The team is safer, how about it?"

"How about Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yu as a team. Mr. Yan seems to have practiced before, how about taking two girls with me?" He looked around the crowd, fixed his eyes on Yan Shiche, and smiled as friendly as possible.

"It's not good." A cold voice sounded, and everyone turned their eyes to the young man aside.

Yu Ran rubbed the corners of his eyes, his blood pressure was low when he woke up in the morning, he would be confused for a while, and even his reaction was much slower than before.

The cold sunlight passed through the shade of the trees and cast bits of silver on his fair skin. Only then did Yan Shiche realize that his young employer's eyes were dark green, like a pool of cold lake water. He didn't deliberately look at anyone, calm Scattered wavelessly in the air.

From this point of view, his appearance is cooler than the sun, coupled with his inadvertently slowed down tone, in the eyes of others, he is quite arrogant and arrogant.

Shen Tongyu was hoarse, feeling that it would be a bad time for him to come in. He met two idiots in a row, one with the face of a wanted criminal, who had something to say, and the other who looked at people with his chin and had nothing to say.

Even so, in front of everyone, he squeezed his nose and forced a smile, "Xiao Yu has any opinions, can you tell us and we can discuss it?"

The young man raised his eyelids, the thick eyelashes were just filled with a bright light of joy, dancing on the eyelids in a trance, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Yan Shiche is in my group." Yu Ran said.

Shen Tongyu looked at Yan Shiche subconsciously. The man leaned against the locust tree and hadn't reacted at all, but he suddenly raised his head as if he sensed the gaze of others.

The deep and dark pupils contained ice, exuding a ferocious animal nature.

Shen Tongyu was stunned for a moment, only to see that the other party showed a superficial smile, "Huh?"

Shen Tongyu said awkwardly: "...Since Mr. Yan has no objection, let's do it first."

At this moment, the door of the courtyard opened suddenly.

The old woman who led the way last night reappeared in front of everyone. Under the sun, her appearance was even more terrifying. Her skin was like plasticine that had been dried for 100 years, softly solidified around the facial features, as if it would melt at any time.

Behind her was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who was also wearing a dusty cotton padded jacket, gloomy and thin, with bloodshot eyes, staring sharply at everyone, his face was so heavy that it was dripping water.

Yu Ran remembered the description of "the villagers are hospitable and hospitable" in the script, and couldn't help but focus on this strange man.

He doesn't seem as happy about their arrival as the script makes it out to be.

"It seems that you all slept well yesterday." With a broken throat, the old woman said with a chuckle, "This is the village head of our Wuyou village. He is specially here to welcome everyone today."

"That's right, there have been no outsiders in our village for a long time." The village head sighed faintly, and said inexplicably, "It's a pity, it's a pity..."

"Well, what's the pity?" Shen Tongyu said cautiously, trying to get some news out of the village chief.

The village chief shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention it again, and said instead: "Yesterday was too late, the reception was not good, you must be hungry, the village has prepared some light meals, please come with me."

Although it was a polite sentence, but when it rolled through the hoarse throat, there was a hint of conspiracy. Everyone looked at each other, wondering whether they should go to this grand banquet.

Seeing that no one responded, the old woman raised her cloudy eyeballs, "Don't the guests want to eat?"

"I'm really hungry, thank you for the hospitality." Yu Ran said suddenly, he stared at the old woman with a natural look, as if they were really guests who got lost in the village.

The old woman who got the answer smiled with satisfaction, and grinned her maggot-like teeth again, "It's fine if you're hungry, come."

The village head was in front, and the old woman led the crowd to the barrier wall. Only then did they realize that there was also a room on the other side of the barrier wall, which seemed to be a small hall for receiving guests. White gauze covered the dish, and seven chairs neatly surrounded the table.

The village head took his seat, and the old woman waited by her side, closing the door of the small hall in front of everyone.

As the door creaked shut, the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

Everyone sat in a strange atmosphere, and the village head slowly lifted the gauze. On the table was a bucket of meat porridge, a bowl of buns, and a plate of pickles. It was a hearty farm breakfast.

The food looks very tempting, and it is still steaming hot, as if it has just been cooked, exuding a good smell of food.

"You're welcome, please use it." The village head stared darkly at the front.

Sitting opposite him happened to be Cheng Xiyou, who was so frightened that he immediately grabbed a bun.

Only then did the village chief look back, and the spoon swung the oily and floating meat porridge into his mouth.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, everyone was old enough to have heard ghost stories about human flesh buns, the ghosts knew what the meat was made of, and no one dared to say anything.

Yan Shiche moved the tip of his nose, and nodded slightly to Yu Ran.

Yu Ran scooped up a bowl of porridge and drank it in small sips. So far, nothing has been able to hide from Yan's bodyguard's nose, so he accepted the breakfast with confidence.

After all, he had to stay in this village for five full days, so he couldn't just eat nothing.

The village head laughed in satisfaction, his teeth were crushed like gravel, "That's right, that's right."

Seeing this, the rest pinched their noses and ate some.

After dinner, Shen Tongyu said again, "Thank you for your care. We still need to bother the village for a few days. I'm really sorry. I want to ask if there is anything in the village that needs our help."

"Help?" The village chief wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, "There is such a thing recently."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone cheered up immediately.

"What is it?" Shen Tongyu asked quickly.

The village chief put down the bowl, glanced sideways at the old woman beside him, and then slowly said: "Our village has a red thing to do recently, but I don't know if you have the courage."

"Red thing? Who's going to get married?" Cheng Xiyou bravely said, "There's nothing scary about it."

"It's an underground affair." The village chief stared at Cheng Xiyou with his bloodshot eyes, and the boy was suddenly speechless in fright.

Yu Ran raised his eyes slightly, thinking of the title of the play "Bones with Bone Relatives", it was as he expected.

The so-called bone relatives are actually a kind of ghost marriage.In ghost marriages, after the deceased widower or bachelor is buried, in order to avoid the misfortune caused by a lonely grave in the family cemetery, the family will ask a matchmaker to find a suitable female corpse, and after the wedding ceremony, the graves of both parties will be buried together. [1]

Since it's a horror theater, if this red incident has nothing to do with a ghost marriage, then it's suspicious.

The atmosphere fell into dead silence again.

The cold food gave off a strange fishy smell, Chen Tong covered his mouth all of a sudden, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Qu Rui glanced worriedly and followed.

The village head pretended not to notice the two girls who left the meeting early, smiled strangely twice, and called out, "The devil."

The old woman at the side emerged from the shadows.

"Marriages are all done by a bright matchmaker. It's the same in the yang world, and it's the same in the underworld. I have been a shady matchmaker for more than 50 years, and I haven't had a single incident. But now I'm getting older, my spirit is not good, and I can't keep watch at night." Slowly said, "It's a pity that the first seven days of the newcomer have only passed two days, and my bones can't move like rust. If you are willing to help, just watch the next five days for me, so that the incense in the ancestral hall will be alive. Don't stop, don't stop."

"Our village attaches great importance to this happy event." The skin, which was like scum, drooped slightly, casting a blue-gray dead air on the eyelids.She grinned, "The red event is five days later, and 44 people from the whole village will be there, so don't make any mistakes."

Shrine guard?

Everyone's expressions were not very good. Watching the spirit in a strange world, this is simply an act of death in a horror movie!

But there is no other way but to agree, if the mission cannot be completed, maybe there will be even more dire consequences waiting for them.

"Okay, we are willing to help." Shen Tongyu responded with a stiff face, and made a request, "Are there any taboos in the village? Can we visit the village?"

"Hehehe." The village chief snorted strangely, "It's just a dilapidated village, you can go and see it if you want."

The village chief seemed to have something to do, so he disappeared behind the door after breakfast, and the ghost also disappeared.

Everyone circled the locust tree and drew lots first to decide the order of the vigil within five days.

In the end, Shen Tongyu and Chen Tong were in a group, Cheng Xiyou and Qu Rui were in a group, and Yu Ran was in a group with Yan Shiche, taking turns to watch the night.

We decided to go to the ancestral hall to investigate first.

The ancestral hall in the daytime is not as gloomy as yesterday night, but it is still dark, lingering with stale incense.

In the middle of the opened door is a quaint painted statue, holding a gossip plate in his left hand and a nine-story pagoda in his right hand. Due to years of disrepair, the colors are mottled into blocks and it is impossible to see the face clearly.

An altar is set up in front of the statue, and pairs of wooden masters are enshrined in front of the altar.Behind the table are melons, fruits and grains, and in the middle of it is a copper stove, in which an incense stick as thick as a finger is burning.

There are only two cushions for worship in the hall, and nothing else.

Yu Ran quickly swept over the wooden master, and frowned slightly, there were 44 in total, which was equivalent to the number of villagers mentioned by the evil medium.

He looked at the statue again, with blue face and long fangs, he didn't know who he was scaring.

At this moment, Yan Shiche suddenly patted Yu Ran's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "There is a voice from behind."

The others searched carefully for clues, but no one noticed them.

The two quietly left the ancestral hall and turned into the West Wing at the back.

There is a small courtyard in front of the wing room. The brick walls on all sides are built high to exclude the sunlight, and the whole courtyard looks cold and dark.

The door of the room was opened obliquely, revealing a slit, and the inside was a dark mass, which could not be seen clearly.

Da-da-da-da.

Da-da-da-da.

There was something knocking on the wooden door, a sound from inside the room.

"Go and see." Yu Ran made a decisive decision.

As soon as you enter the small courtyard, the daylight becomes thinner, and the further you enter, the louder the knocking sound, faintly accompanied by the children's playful shouts echoing on the high wall.

"The moon is shining brightly, the bride in red burns incense, the beautiful bride is burned to death, and the young girl is mad at death." [2]

"Miss Yao, don't cry, sew a doll and dress it."

"Magpies laugh, gongs and drums beat, and firecrackers are set off inside the coffin."

"The firecrackers exploded loudly, and every family ate wedding candies."

The weird nursery rhymes, accompanied by immature children's voices, echoed like ghosts and became clearer and clearer.

The rustling knocking sound became louder and louder, da da da da da, da da da da...

"I caught it!" The sharp voice slipped across the eardrums in an instant.

A girl about six or seven years old appeared out of thin air, and suddenly hugged Yu Ran's thigh.

The girl's eyes were not like ordinary people's. The black eyeballs almost occupied two-thirds of the whites of the eyes, so dark that the pupils could not be seen clearly. There was only one malicious gaze staring at him.

Suddenly, the girl giggled, opened a mouth of fine white teeth, and said strangely: "Next, it's your turn to catch me!"

Yu Ran's face darkened, his heart was not good, and the next moment, the girl who was about to run away was picked up by the collar with one hand.

Yan Shiche smiled hypocritically: "Little friend, where do you want to go?"

Seeing that she couldn't escape, the girl's smile immediately fell, her expression froze, and she grinned her strangely shaped teeth to bite someone.

Yan Shiche took out the dagger from his waist, and pointed the black blade at the girl's mouth.

"The guests are really disobedient, what are you doing here?"

The sinister voice sounded from behind the two of them, and they sighed faintly, and for a while, a terrible chill spread all over Yu Ran's body.

Was discovered.
