Chapter 17 Unboxing Scene
"Dong dong dong..."
Zhang Yi opened his eyes, and there was a row of people standing in front of him, neatly dressed in costumes, standing there motionless like sculptures.
I'm not dead?
There was a lot of fun playing and singing outside.
Apparently the unboxing has started tonight.
Zhang Yi tried to lift his hand, but his limbs were as stiff as wood. He managed to lift it up a little but couldn't lift it anymore.
At this time, he looked at the mirror on the dressing table.
In the mirror, I have thick makeup on my face, a beard, and clothes that were only worn by officials in the old days.
Do you want to act on your own?
It seems like they are not an ordinary team member.
"The next scene will be bloody."
"good!!"
After the announcer finished speaking, there was a burst of applause.
Blood splattered on the gauze?
Why is this drama happening again?
Wait, I won't be the one to act, right?
"Dong dong, dong dong dong..."
The gong sounded, and the people standing in front began to walk out step by step.
He lifted his steps and followed these people forward step by step.
"Quick, quick, keep up, keep up."
Sandan's voice came, urging the people backstage to move forward. Today he was in charge of urging the show.
"Xiao Geng, you've become a hornet too!"
Sandan walked up to Zhang Yi and stared at him with shining eyes.
The San Dan in front of him seemed to be a little out of his mind. He reached out and groped on Zhang Yi's costume: "When can I become a character like you?"
Seeing Sandan pull up his sleeves with a sick look on his face and rub it on his cheeks, Zhang Yi became more and more uneasy.
"When the time comes, you will be the cornerstone of our team, and you can eat as much fish and meat as you like."
As Sandan spoke, his expression began to turn ferocious.
"Why you? With so many people in the class, how come it's your turn to play the role!"
Veins appeared on his face and bloodshot eyes appeared.
Approaching Zhang Yi step by step.
There was a putrid stench emanating from his mouth, which made Zhang Yi couldn't help but think of the stench on Supervisor Li and others on the bus last time.
“Dong dong dong!!”
At this time, the sound of gongs on the stage became more and more urgent, and Sandan seemed to remember what he wanted to do.
He turned around and pushed the people in front of him to move forward.
"Quick, it's your turn to play."
After several people were pushed onto the stage, Zhang Yi continued to walk forward naturally and came to the curtain of the rising door.
Through the door curtain, Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows. The voice sounded very familiar. It was Mrs. Qing's voice.
He moved his body slightly sideways a few times and looked out through the gap in the door curtain.
I didn't see Mrs. Qing, but I saw Brother Li wearing women's clothes, a gold hairpin wig, holding flowers with his fingers, and holding a silk scarf in his hand.
"Full of regret and resentment..."
The expression is charming and resentful. Although he is a man, he looks like a delicate woman.
Zhang Yi felt like he had goosebumps all over his body.
In a daze, he saw Sister Qing's figure on Brother Li's body.
"No, he's not Brother Li, he's Sister Qing!"
He raised his head and looked up, and saw that the unrecognizable evil ghost was squatting on the beam, holding the rope with both hands, grinning ferociously.
Sister-in-law Qing was held by a hemp rope, like an animal bound by iron chains. She could only use Brother Li's body to sing the opera lyrics sadly.
Everyone in the audience applauded.
"Okay, okay! You sing so well, you sing so well."
Sandan stood aside and clapped his hands.
"Um...what should I play next?" It was his turn to appear next. Zhang Yi didn't know what would happen, so he asked Sandan.
Sandan was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and looked at Zhang Yi, then picked up the sword from the prop table on the side.
"This play is called Blood Splattered on Black Veils. It's about an upright official who mishandled the case and killed the wrong person. After you learned the truth, you drew your sword and killed yourself."
Hearing Sandan's words, Zhang Yi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Sister Dan, was this the same drama before committing suicide?"
"Yes, this is also the case."
Zhang Yi seems to understand that his next fate may be like Yang Dan wiping his own neck.
"Come on, come on, it's your turn soon. We can eat meat tonight, we can eat meat."
Sandan's current state is similar to that of the employees on the bus. He should have realized that he is not a human being, but he has not fully realized it yet.
But it is only a matter of time before he completely turns into a ghost.
At this time, Zhang Yi saw the thermos bottle placed in the corner by himself.
"Sandan, I'm a little thirsty, can you give me some water?"
"You want a drink of water?"
"No, I can't drink water when I'm about to go on stage. I'll give it to you after you get off stage."
Sandan shook his head.
"Sandan, I will become a horn soon. When I become a horn in the future, I will let you follow me. From now on, you will eat whatever I eat, okay?"
"real?"
"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
Sandan looked at the thermos pot placed in the corner: "But this is against the rules."
"It's okay. If I don't tell anyone, no one will know."
Sandan walked to the thermos pot, looked back at Zhang Yi, and saw that he nodded affirmatively towards her, then picked up the thermos pot.
"Give me!"
Zhang Yi raised his stiff hand to pick up the thermos bottle.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hearing the sound of the gong on the stage, Sandan suddenly took his hand back and put the thermos bottle behind him: "Quick, quick, it's your turn to go on stage."
"But I want to drink water first!"
"It's too late. Hurry up. If it's too late, the foreman will beat me to death."
Zhang Yi stretched his thighs hard. He knew that when he got on the stage, he would only die.
"Wait, you can just give me the kettle."
Sandan is not big, but his strength is amazing.
Pushing hard, Zhang Yi's feet scraped the floor and moved forward, unable to stop at all.
"Boom!"
There was a sound like breaking glass.
"Boom!"
Sandan fell to the ground, his whole body covered with a thick layer of ice.
Zhang Yi looked back and found that it was Dai Moli.
"Why are you here?"
"You'll die if I don't come." Dai Moli rolled her eyes at Zhang Yi: "I noticed something was wrong, so I crawled out on my own. People here have begun to wake up. Please find a way to get out of here."
Dai Moli pulled Zhang Yi a few times, but found that Zhang Yi didn't move at all.
"There seems to be something wrong with me now, is there anything you can do?"
Dai Moli shook her head: "This is a curse cast by an evil spirit. I don't know how to unravel it."
She gently lifted the door curtain with her fingers and glanced outside.
"Hey,
Is it quite lively?
With so many guests, how much money can you make from a performance?"
"It's a lot, but what does it have to do with me? First find a way to help me break the curse."
Zhang Yi was still worried about the curse on himself and couldn't break it, but Dai Moli saw something.
"Is she Mrs. Qing?"
"Um,"
"What binds Sister Qing is not the power of evil spirits. Try it and see if you can find a way to destroy that rope."
"Do you think this is something I can do??"
"Perhaps you can try the talisman on your hand."
"[Golden Light Talisman]?"
"No, it's the [Essence Fire Talisman]. This talisman can stimulate the energy and spirit in your body. Generally speaking, ghost spells mostly suppress your energy and spirit. Using this talisman, it may be able to help you escape.
The curse on the body.
And the summoned essence fire can just burn the rope on Qing's head, but you have to risk getting as close to Qing's wife as possible."
"Do we have to save Mrs. Qing??"
"We have no helpers. If we don't kill that evil spirit, we will all die."
Zhang Yi frowned, called out the account book, looked at the two remaining talismans, and then glanced at the sword on the table...
"Push me to the stage!"
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of gongs beside the stage became more and more urgent, and the audience in the audience began to become impatient.
"Isn't it time to come out?"
"Yes, I've struck the gong twice. If we don't come out again, this show will be ruined."
The audience's low-pitched discussion also attracted the sidelong glances of the evil spirits on the rafters.
He turned his head and looked at the stage where the door was.
At this time, the door curtain opened and Zhang Yi walked out.
When he stepped on the stage with one foot, his body and limbs were controlled by a kind of power.
"The wind whistles and the horses neigh on the ancient road..."
Quickly lift up and slowly fall down in eight steps, holding a sword in front of the sand.
Zhang Yi seemed like an outsider at this moment, looking at his body with cold eyes like a troupe veteran who had practiced hard for many years, walking onto the stage step by step without even a single superfluous movement.
The clothes worn by the audience in the audience were also all kinds of strange, and some of them were obviously not from this era.
The theater itself and the massage parlor are of the same nature.
Zhang Yi thought about the photos of his father enshrined backstage.
Could it be that my father also runs this theater?
Recalling that Dai Moli once said that this place is like a prison, is Sister Qing imprisoned here on purpose by my father?
"Full of grievances and resentments!"
"Dong dong dong..." The sound of the gong became louder and more urgent.
Sister-in-law Qing staggered and knelt down in front of her with the confession in her hands.
"I hope you will be honest with me and not the official. I will be wronged if you inquire in detail!!"
It was originally a white and flawless prop, but when Mrs. Qing pushed it in front of him, the confession was stained with vermilion blood, leaving only the word "injustice".
It’s Brother Li’s face, but it’s Sister Qing’s spirit.
The handsome face turned from pink to pale, and the lips turned livid, showing a hint of resentment and indignation.
A line of bloody tears overflowed from his eyes.
Just like in this drama, Liu Shaoying, who avenged her father, was desperate and her blood was splattered on the yarn.
It's just that Qing's sister-in-law is even worse, but she can't even do it with blood splattering on the gauze.
The hemp rope around her neck locked her tightly, making him unable to live or die. She became a tool in the troupe and unable to survive reincarnation.
Zhang Yi's scalp was numb and the hairs all over his body stood up.
Is this what his father did?
"good!!"
The audience in the audience had already stood up excitedly.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of gongs, suona and erhu became more and more harsh.
Everyone in the audience below held their breath, and Zhang Yi slowly raised his sword.
According to the last scene in the play, the official played by Zhang Yi knew that the case was wrong and regretted committing suicide.
Zhang Yi raised his head, and the evil ghost on the beam grinned at him.
His crooked eyes were filled with amusement and excitement.
"Buzz..."
But as the sword was unsheathed, the evil ghost's eyes widened, and there was actually an apricot-yellow talisman attached to the sword blade.
In an instant, red fire light rose up from the sword, illuminating the stage.
