"Boom!"
It was pitch black outside the window, and the sound of the wind hitting the glass could be heard from time to time. The atmosphere in the room was more or less uneasy. Although typhoons were no stranger to the Japanese, the biggest problem for the people here was not typhoons ….
"Okay, that's all for today."
Fangzheng tutored them for a while and found that almost no one was in the mood to study, so he had no choice but to call it a day. Hearing his words, the girls seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, the world was the first to jump out.
"Okay, okay, we've been studying for so long that I feel like my brain is going to explode. Why don't we relax and play some games? Or watch a movie or something? "
"Okay, okay!"
At this moment, the others seemed to have found a life-saving straw as they nodded desperately. But at that moment, Qiong suddenly stood up.
"Then, let's watch a movie. I happen to have a movie that I really want to watch."
"Great, Qiong …. What movie?"
"You'll know when you watch it."
While saying that, Qiong took out a DVD from the TV cabinet, put it into the player, and clicked play. Soon, a brand new movie appeared on the TV. The girls found a place to sit, leaned against pillows, and ate melon seeds while watching the TV in front of them with excited expressions.
After Qiong pressed the play button, she returned to Fangzheng's side and curled up into a ball, staring at the TV in front of her. For some reason, Fangzheng noticed that her eyes seemed to be shining with some kind of strange light.
At the beginning of the scene, it was a female high school student studying. It was pitch black outside the window, and a fan was spinning beside the girl. The whole room was quiet. There was no one but the girl.
The music started to become a little strange.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to have sensed something. She raised her head and saw a fly flying around in front of her. This seemed to annoy the girl. She walked downstairs to the fridge, picked up a drink, and gulped it down. But at that moment ….
"Ring ring ring!!"
Suddenly, the urgent ringtone of the phone startled the girl. She put down the cup in her hand, walked to the phone, and picked up the receiver.
"Hello … Dad? Mom? "
"Salad … Salad …"
However, there was only a rustling sound on the microphone.
The girl hung up the phone uneasily and returned to her desk to review. However, this time, she seemed a little uneasy. Not only that, there seemed to be a voice ringing in the girl's ears …
"Wait, what movie is this?"
By now, World had already sensed that something was amiss. His face turned pale as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva and held on tightly to Cha Cha, who was beside him. Hearing her question, the corners of Qiong's lips curled up into a strange smile.
"Ring."
"Ah... that new supernatural movie."
Hearing this, Gui Yan Ye became excited.
"That's great, I've always wanted to see it …"
"A horror film?!"
Xue Cai trembled uncontrollably and hugged the pillow in her arms tightly. As for Winter Horse, he didn't say anything but inched closer to Xue Cai unnoticeably.
For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Why don't we change it?"
Glancing at Qiong beside him, Fangzheng knew that this was definitely her idea. However, to Fangzheng's surprise, although the girls in front of him were very scared, none of them had any intention of stopping, especially Gui Yan Ye. Fangzheng didn't know that this young lady liked watching horror films so much …
Speaking of which, all girls seemed to have the same problem. Fangzheng remembered that when he was in school, there would occasionally be horror films in the classroom. At that time, the girls would also cover their faces and peek through the gaps between their fingers while shouting "So scary", "So disgusting", "Turn it off!", but if you really turned it off, they wouldn't be happy …
Therefore, women … could never hope to understand what they were thinking.
Since everyone wanted to continue watching, Fangzheng naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask for trouble. So, he leaned back on the sofa and began to enjoy the movie in front of him.
Before his reincarnation, Fangzheng had also watched the movie "Ring". It should be said that this supernatural movie was a household name at that time, so Fangzheng had naturally watched it. But perhaps because parallel worlds were always different, although there was no difference in the central plot in this "Ring", there were some changes in other aspects.
For example, the original Sadako's curse was transmitted through videotape, but in this movie, it was transmitted through video. Not only was it limited to DVDs, but even online videos were also transmitted. Because of this, the movie that originally looked like a horror film became more and more like some kind of disaster film halfway through.
That was really interesting.
As he watched, Fangzheng seemed to have really immersed himself in the movie. After all, the original movie was limited by the medium, so the degree of harm in the story itself wasn't that high. After all, in that era, videotapes and video recorders were quite large objects, and their movement was very limited.
However, it was different in the era of the Internet. With the popularization of smartphones and the development of online video websites, the spread of "Sadako's Curse" had also increased exponentially. Even the most optimistic person would feel a chill down their spine at the thought of this.
Therefore, for Fangzheng, this was like watching a modern remake of "Ring". It was a different kind of fun.
Of course, the main storyline of the story remained the same. The male protagonist, who courted death by watching Sadako's video, began to search for Sadako's body in order to save himself. After a lot of hard work, they finally found Sadako's body in the dry well. They then moved it out and paid their respects to it.
But then again, why did all Japanese horror movies seem to have such a process?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fangzheng couldn't help but let his mind wander. If he remembered correctly, in Japanese horror movies, the ones who killed the monsters were basically ordinary people, and they often had all kinds of problems because they weren't professional enough. But Hong Kong horror movies didn't have such problems. Catching monsters and ghosts was basically the specialty of Taoist priests and monks.
Fangzheng remembered that in the Hong Kong horror movies he watched, many times the experts would take the initiative to visit the protagonist and tell him, "I see that your eyebrows are black, I'm afraid you're haunted by ghosts." However, the protagonist wouldn't believe them. Only when a disaster was about to befall them would they turn to the expert to save their lives. Generally, the final battle would be handled by professionals like the expert. The protagonist's job was more like a mascot or an assistant.
But looking at the Japanese horror movies, it seemed that there were very few such "professionals". On the contrary, a group of protagonists who didn't even know how to read scriptures would hold the Diamond Sutra in their left hand and a cross in their right and act like gods …. Fangzheng couldn't figure out what the protagonists in these horror movies were thinking.
Who gave them the courage to not find professionals to solve the problem, but to do it themselves?
Take "Ring" for example. After the protagonist saw the well in the video, he thought that Sadako died unjustly, so he wanted to tell others where her body was, so he eagerly went to look for it. Why didn't you show it to the monks in the temple and discuss it with them for reference?
Hmm … maybe this was the bad intention of the screenwriter?
After all, if a professional took care of it, it would definitely eliminate all future troubles. Then there would be no way to make a sequel, right?
While Fangzheng's thoughts were running wild, the plot on the TV had reached its most critical moment. After the protagonist worshipped and buried Sadako's body, he felt that there was nothing else to do and decided to go home. However, just as he was relaxing in the hotel, his phone suddenly rang again.
"Ring ring ring — —!!"
Hearing this, Qiong involuntarily grabbed Fangzheng's arm. The girls also widened their eyes as they watched the protagonist swallow a mouthful of saliva, then walk to the phone and pick up the receiver. However, only a rustling sound came through the receiver. Then ….
"Boom — —!!"
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the entire room suddenly became pitch-black.
"Ahhh — —!!!"
The next moment, a scream that almost pierced Fangzheng's eardrums burst out. Before Fangzheng could react, he felt Qiong grabbing his arm tightly. On the other side, Shelley jumped into his arms in fright. The world squeezed around Fangzheng in an instant. For a moment, Fangzheng felt a soft, trembling, and fragrant feeling all around him ….
Only Winter Horse and Gui Yan were still sitting in the same place. Gui Yan Ye seemed to have not reacted to what had happened, while Winter Horse seemed …. to have fainted?
"Hey, why are you guys so excited?"
Fangzheng helplessly took out his phone with his left hand, turned on the flashlight, and shone it around.
"It's just a power outage. It's normal for a typhoon to have a power outage."
"Phew …."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the girls finally came back to their senses. They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's, it's a power outage …."
"Yeah, it's just a power outage …. That really gave me a fright just now …."
"That's right. The power outage came at the wrong time."
As they spoke, the girls smiled stiffly. However, just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly ….
"Ring ring ring — —!"
The urgent ringing of a phone broke the silence.
"Huh?!!!"
Upon hearing the phone ring, the girls' relaxed bodies tensed up once again. As for Fangzheng, he planned on standing up, but before he could do so, he was held down by the others.
"Wait, Haruhino-kun, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing …. Answering the phone, of course?"
Fangzheng wondered if the world had gone crazy from watching too many horror movies. Of course he had to answer the phone when it rang.
"But who would call home in this day and age?"
Shrunk behind Fangzheng, Splinter analyzed the situation in a calm but uneasy voice.
"Normally, a normal person would call their cell phone first. They would only call if they couldn't get through, right?"
"Yes, that's right …."
Only then did Qiong realize what was going on.
"Bro, do we have a cell phone at home?"
"Huh?!!"
Upon hearing this, the girls turned even more nervous. As for Fangzheng, he rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Nonsense. Where would you get the internet if you don't have a cell phone? Sometimes, to make sure you don't have a cell phone with you, I even installed a cell phone. "
"Yes, I see …."
The girls finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Fangzheng's answer. But soon, Qiong became nervous again.
"But no one knows our home phone number!"
"Hmm …. That's a blind spot."
Fangzheng was taken aback by Qiong's question. It took him a while to realize what was going on. Indeed, he only used his home's landline as an emergency contact. The school had a record of it, so most people ….. did not seem to know it?
After all, most people nowadays used their cell phones. Who would still use a landline?
"Well, maybe it's the wrong number."
Fangzheng was not as afraid as the girls. What a joke. Ring? Even if there were a thousand Sadakos, Fangzheng would only send them home with his first flame. Even if there was a ghost, he was not afraid.
Did he really treat the Paladin as an officer?
"… Ring ring ring …."
Finally, after a while, the phone stopped ringing, and at this moment, the girls at this moment all heaved a sigh of relief.
But the next moment ….
"Ring ring ring …."
The phone rang again.
"This …. Could it be the wrong number?"
Sherry's voice sounded like she was about to cry. Winter Horse and Katsura also became uneasy.
"Forget it. Let me answer the phone and we'll know."
Fangzheng was also speechless. He first broke free from the others, then walked out of the living room, into the corridor, and came to the phone that kept ringing.
Then, Fangzheng picked up the phone.
