Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1367 Night Mansion (Today is another super hot day)

Although the director’s decision was a bit unreasonable, no one dared to oppose him. Fortunately for the film crew, they have experienced similar situations. At least it's much better than sleeping outdoors in a deserted sea of ​​trees. At least this mansion is a shelter from the wind and rain, isn't it?

 Then everyone started to have dinner and rest, while Duanmuhuai walked aside and made a call.

"How's it going? What did you find?"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai glanced at his chest, where there was a pin-like camera. This was also the plan and preparation that Duanmu Huai made before coming. After all, he could not cover everything by himself, so Duanmu Huai simply used this method to contact the rear, and Ziyuanji Yuzi and Shajiuye were also able to share Duanmu Huai through the screen. Everything you see, so you can investigate its content.

"For now? Nothing special."

Shionji Yuko's voice rang from the phone.

"But this place is the real underworld, and I will never go there."

Then Shajiuye took over the words.

"Brother, what's going on with those stone statues? Have you investigated them?"

"I've investigated it. It's just a stone statue. At least that's what it seems."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"What did you find there?"

"Oh... I found some."

Shionji Yuko’s voice sounded again.

"About those stone statues, I did some research on the Internet... Well, these stone statues were actually carved by the people in that mansion."

"From the mansion?"

"Yes, the son of the first owner of the mansion was a very talented sculptor, and he carved those stone statues. Of course, as you can see, there was obviously no market for such things, and at that time It was also rumored that the son might have been possessed by an evil spirit and was the reason why he carved such a cursed thing. Originally, the owner of the mansion planned to send his son to a temple to exorcise the evil spirits, but before setting off, his son discovered something inside his body. Hanged himself in the studio."

"In other words, the son of the owner of the mansion was the first person to commit suicide?"

"That's what it looks like so far."

"Um………"

After hearing Ziyuan Temple Youzi's report, Duanmu Huai began to think. Basically, those who engage in art usually become the first victims because of their high inspiration. In fact, there are many similar situations. For example, a painter dreams about Cthulhu and then draws a bunch of crazy stuff, or a novelist dreams about Cthulhu and then writes a bunch of incomprehensible stuff. Son, or maybe the chef dreamed of Cthulhu and then created Cthulhu cuisine...

"That's right, brother."

Just when Duanmuhuai was distracted, Shajiuye suddenly spoke again.

"What's going on with that stone statue?"

"Stone statue?"

"It's the one you saw in the last room before...and suddenly disappeared?"

"This is just a very simple shooting method."

Duanmu Huai didn't answer yet, but Ziyuanji Youzi snorted and opened his mouth to explain.

"Many of this kind of entertainment variety shows use this method of deliberately teasing people. The staff must have prepared it in advance and then took it back after they left. Otherwise, why would the director reshoot it? Just to scare these people deliberately. Guests, so that the audience can watch their frightened and ugly behavior on the TV screen.”

"That's a good point, but it's a pity it's useless."

Duanmuhuai directly interrupted Ziyuanji Youzi’s explanation.

"I'm sure there's no one else there but us."

Since Duanmu Huai is here to be a bodyguard, he naturally has to do his job well. Even though Duanmu Huai kept walking behind as if he was trying to catch a fish, his perception was always shrouded in the entire east hall. If it is really like what Shionji Yuko said, this is some kind of deliberate trick by the film crew. In terms of operation, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Duanmu Huai.

"snort……"

Being slapped in the face by Duanmu Huai made Ziyuanji Youzi a little unhappy. She snorted and stopped talking. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shajiuye also hurriedly changed the topic.

"So, brother, did you find anything?"

"No, it's really strange. At least for now, this place is just an abandoned house. I didn't find anything strange at all. In short, let's take a look at the situation."

"I understand, brother, please be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

After a few short conversations, Duanmuhuai hung up the phone. Looking at the hall in front of me again, about six or seven staff members were busy sorting out materials and materials. The director was looking at the computer with an unhappy expression on his face. He didn't know what made him dissatisfied. The old professor was standing in front of the statue in the center of the hall, staring at the statue in front of him as if he was studying it.

As for the two actors who are holding scripts and dubbing lines at the moment, at first glance, everything seems normal here and there are no problems.

What a ghost...

Duanmuhuai opened the system silently and glanced at the system prompts, but it was useless. Because only the information of people affected by Duanmuhuai can be seen in the system prompts, that is to say, if the people here lose their SAN for some reason, the system information will not be displayed.

All in all, keep following these two actors.

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and made a decision. As I said before, if you have high inspiration for art, it is easiest to drop SAN through inspiration, so Duanmuhuai can almost find clues by just seeing when they drop SAN.

Of course, if that doesn't work, there is a last resort, which is to stand by and wait for the opponent to reveal its true form before killing it. After all, Duanmu Huai is not an investigator, nor is he the kind of NPC who can only wait to die when the evil **** comes out. Whenever the other party dares to come forward, he will hit Euler and be beaten to death if he doesn't believe it!

But in this case, this film crew may all die... Well, for the Inquisitor, this is an acceptable loss.

"Alright! Everyone, get ready!"

At this moment, the director's voice sounded again.

"Start exploring the West Wing!"

On a dark, rainy night, explore an abandoned mansion, which is also a famous suicide spot. This looks like a ghost story. As an audience, I am afraid that just seeing the eerie and terrifying scene on the screen will make you feel uneasy.

But in fact, the filming scene was not so hellish.

Although the two guests walked in front and acted like they were acting alone, in fact, just a few meters behind them, staff members carrying cameras were on standby to take pictures of the two people in front of them. Every move. This is mainly to facilitate the audience to bring in a third-party lens and increase the sense of participation.

So... it may look scary on the screen, but when actually filming, there is a sense of security as if the army is overwhelming.

Not to mention there is Duanmuhuai behind it.

The environment of the West Pavilion is similar to that of the East Pavilion. Both sides of the corridor are also filled with twisted, weird, and painful stone statues. However, after the experience in the East Building, everyone was much calmer this time, and the two actors also regained their appearance as guests and began to film the program seriously - of course, along the way Whether it was luck or misfortune, they still didn't encounter any corpses.

As for those rooms, most of them are empty. Of course, there are also a few rooms with human-shaped circles drawn on the ground - well, as for what they are, everyone knows.

"Professor, what do you think?"

The guests chatted all the way and were already a little tired, so the actress cleverly changed the topic to "Why do so many people choose to commit suicide here?" and then threw the topic to the old professor. The comedian next to him didn't object either - he was almost dry with his mouth in order to find a topic.

"Well..." After hearing the actress's question, the old professor was silent for a moment, and then said.

"I think it probably has something to do with the environment here."

"Environment?"

"Yes, these are the statues. You have also seen them. These statues are carved of human beings in agony. Not only that, the sculptors' techniques are so expressive that we don't dare to look at them more."

Hearing what the old professor said, the guests nodded. These statues are indeed weird, although they are not like those European and American B-movies that use a lot of plasma and internal organs to disgust people. But the expressions of the stone statues carved by this sculptor are very horrifying. If you stare at these stone statues for a long time, you will feel that these stone statues are like living people, and they will feel as if they are witnessing the painful struggle of a living person. .

So now no one dares to see more of these stone statues.

"There are not just one or two such stone statues. Now it seems that they are placed in every corner of this mansion. For those who are bent on death, the impact of this feeling is huge, and they will They are eager to escape from this pain, and their method of escaping pain... is to kill themselves."

"I see."

After hearing the old professor's speculation, the actress nodded. Of course, it sounds a bit magical, but after all, it is a variety show that will be broadcast on the TV station. It is impossible for you to really promote some monsters, so let's take a closer look. If science directly attributes the cause of suicide to these scary-looking stone statues, then there will be no problem.

"Actually, if you ask me, if I just bulldoze this poor place, there won't be so many problems."

Duanmu Huai, who was following behind, was also complaining to Shionji Yuko and Shajiuye through his earphones.

"In the final analysis, you are still too lazy to pay. People who commit suicide have nothing to do with the government. They are seeking their own death. Government funds will not be wasted after death. For those politicians, naturally they are too lazy to care."

Shionji Yuuko complained lightly, while Shajuye laughed dryly and said nothing. Indeed, as Shionji Yuko said, although razing this mansion can eliminate a suicide holy place, it can also be regarded as stopping suicides to a certain extent. But the problem is that it is the government department that pays for it, and it involves private land. There may be various problems, some and no other. No wonder the government is too lazy to take care of it.

Well, of course, it also depends on how the government manages it. For example, there is a bridge in South Korea that has become the first choice for many people to commit suicide. So in order to prevent these people from committing suicide, the South Korea government also set up a facility on this bridge. A display is placed next to the guardrail of the bridge. Once someone approaches, some phrases will be displayed.

Including "How were you today?" "You are not alone" "Have you eaten?" "Think about the happy moments in your life". It will also play some intimate and happy photos and videos of families, relatives, friends, and couples.

Facts have proved that this method is very effective. Since the implementation of this measure, the suicide rate on the bridge has increased six times.

Well, quite successfully.

I don’t know which genius came up with this idea.

It can be called a model of murder and heart-crushing.

In contrast, doing nothing is a better choice.

"Next, it's the last room in the West Building."

At this time, the actress also came to the room at the end of the West Building, and then she stretched out her hand and pushed open the door.

However, at this moment, something strange happened.

The moment the actress opened the door, she seemed to be caught by something and was pulled directly into the room with a scream!

And at this moment, too late, Duanmuhuai flashed forward and rushed forward. Then he stretched out his hand, grabbed the actress's leg, and pulled her back!

"ah---!"

With a scream, the actress was pulled out of the room by Duanmu Huai, who casually put her aside, then kicked the door open and walked in.

"What's wrong?"

"Is it okay!"

"What happened?"

At this moment, other people also hurriedly ran over and looked at the actress who was leaning on the wall and collapsed on the ground. The latter's face was ashen and speechless. Duanmuhuai looked at her and found that there were several blood stains on the actress's right arm, as if she had been caught by some monster.

"What's going on? Why are you bleeding? Get the first aid kit!"

An accident occurred during the filming process, and the situation was naturally different. Soon the staff brought a first aid kit and began to bandage the actress's arm. The crosstalk actor also came over uneasily and looked at the actress. .

"What happened?"

"I, I don't know either..."

Perhaps because she was surrounded by staff, the actress gradually came back to her senses.

"I just pushed the door open, and then something grabbed my arm and tried to pull me in..."

"Is it human?"

"I, I don't think so..."

"It should be this thing."

At this moment, Duanmuhuai's voice sounded, and everyone turned to look at Duanmuhuai, only to see him standing at the door, holding a flashlight to shine on a stone statue inside the door. It was a man with teeth and claws. His eyes widened. He opened his mouth and let out a silent roar, and stretched out his hands forward as if to grab something. And there was blood remaining on the hands that were as sharp as demons.

"call………"

Seeing this scene, the crosstalk actor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe you accidentally fell down when you opened the door and hit the stone statue, so you bruised your arm."

"But, but..."

Facing the cross talk actor's words, the actress frowned dissatisfied. She was sure that she was obviously going to be dragged in just now. Even now the actress feels a little pain in her waist, which was caused by Duanmu Huai grabbing her and the opponent's legs.

"Why, do you think it was this stone statue that grabbed you?"

The crosstalk actor looked at the actress's reaction and asked curiously, but the actress glared at him and said nothing.

At this moment, Duanmuhuai's voice sounded again.

"We'll find out what's going on."

As he said this, everyone saw Duanmuhuai reach out and grab the arm of the stone statue, and then gently broke it off!

With a "click", the next moment everyone saw that the arm of the stone statue was broken off by Duanmu Huai so easily!

"???"

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

This is a stone statue!

Not a plaster statue!

"It doesn't look like anything special."

However, Duanmuhuai didn't care about their reactions. He carefully looked at the arm of the stone statue and then threw it aside. Then he clenched his fist and punched the stone statue in front of him!

"Bang!"

The next moment, the stone statue was smashed into pieces by Duanmuhuai. The gravel and smoke rose up, and everyone hurriedly backed away.

"It seems that this is just an ordinary stone."

Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the remains of the statue that he had smashed into pieces.

How strange...
