Chapter 57. Xiao Lang, What Is Wrong With You?
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare
Du Yan had just walked to the cabin when the train broadcast started.
“The fault ahead has been eliminated, and the train will start soon…”
Du Yan looked out the window and could still see a lot of shadows, but they were no longer as crowded as before.
He glanced at Xiao Lang who had just returned, thinking, the leading actor in this movie is indeed a living disaster.
As the train started moving, the atmosphere, which had been a little depressing, became more lively.
Liang Fei was the first to speak. He patted his chest and said with a look of having survived a disaster: “Aiya, this journey is so exciting at the beginning, isn’t it? I think I should shoot a video and post it on Weibo, maybe I can make your place a popular tourist attraction for influencers.”
Xiao Lang smiled and said: “Thank you, but it’s not necessary. Your video is not promotional at all, it’s just to drive away visitors.”
Tian Luo was still frightened and said: “If I had known earlier, I would not have told those ghost stories. It just happened to be this time. The more I tell them, the scarier they become.”
Zhou Tian then sat up straight from Wei Zizhe’s arms and said: “But those ghost stories are still quite exciting.”
Wei Zizhe laughed at her: “Come on, you were almost scared to tears just now. You are so timid, but you still like to listen to ghost stories and watch horror movies.”
Zhou Tian rolled her eyes at him and said: “It’s just because I’m timid that listening to ghost stories is exciting. Engineering students like you don’t understand the romance of us liberal arts students.”
While everyone was chatting and laughing, the train had already exited the long tunnel that seemed to have no end. The feeling of being bathed in light again made people feel extremely comfortable and wonderful.
After passing the Wanren Ridge tunnel, the road ahead was smooth and the train arrived at Shunping Station in less than half an hour.
Shunping is a small station, and the only people who got off were Xiao Lang and his friends, and Du Yan, who nominally came here to collect folk art.
After leaving the train station, Xiao Lang took everyone directly to a hotel near his home.
Shunping has been preparing to vigorously develop the tourism industry in recent years. Local people have seized the business opportunity and opened many special hotels.
This hotel is one of them. From the lobby to the rooms, the design is very classical. According to the front desk, each room has a different theme, and many of the furniture inside are old furniture and old items that the owner specially brought back from the countryside.
Xiao Lang’s parents happened to be away from home these two days, so he just stayed here with them. It was just right for everyone to have company and it was convenient for them to go out and play.
Wei Zizhe and his girlfriend shared a room, Liang Fei and Xu Yuan shared a room, and the remaining room was naturally shared by Xiao Lang and Du Yan.
Three rooms were finally arranged, and several people were getting their room cards and preparing to go upstairs when Tian Luo appeared at the door.
He smiled sheepishly: “I just got home and found that my parents went to the countryside to visit my grandparents. It’s boring to stay at home alone. Can I go out with you guys these few days?”
After hearing what he said, Xiao Lang couldn’t refuse directly, so he agreed: “I’ll go to the front desk and get a room.”
The rooms in this hotel were indeed unique. Xiao Lang and his group were in the mood, so they visited each room together.
The last room was the single room Xiao Lang booked for Tian Luo.
The bed in the room turned out to be a stepping bed with extremely delicate carvings, matched with layers of gauze curtains. The whole room looked like the chamber of a famous lady in ancient times, making people feel as if they had traveled through time and space.
Liang Fei joked: “Wei Zizhe, Zhou Tian, why don’t you two just sleep in this room and experience the ancient wedding night with candles.”
Zhou Tian shook her head repeatedly: “I still like the one just now, no need to change.”
Du Yan stood in front of the bed, carefully examining it for a long time, and suddenly said to Xiao Lang: “Sorry, can I stay in this room?”
Xiao Lang was a little hesitant: “But it has already been agreed that Tian Luo will stay here…”
Tian Luo at the side quickly said: “It doesn’t matter, I can stay anywhere.”
Du Yan smiled: “Thank you. I just think this room is very interesting, maybe it can give me some inspiration.”
After hearing what Du Yan said, Xiao Lang didn’t say anything more and agreed to the room arrangement.
It was getting late, so they discussed and decided to just walk around the area today and then go back to the hotel to have a good rest. They would go somewhere farther away the next day.
In Du Yan’s room, besides the huge stepping bed, there were also some historical decorations, such as a very old-fashioned clock.
When they checked in, the front desk explained that the clock in the room was just for decoration and would not ring on time, so they didn’t need to worry about it disturbing their sleep.
At this moment, it is already deep in the night. There is only one night light left in the room, which can only illuminate an area less than one meter away, and the rest of the room is completely plunged into darkness.
Dang——dang——dang——
The clock in the room rang in the silent night.
Du Yan opened his eyes, his eyes were clear without a trace of sleepiness, and he quietly counted the bell, exactly twelve times.
After the last bell rang, a faint light appeared in the room that should have been dark.
The stepping bed that Du Yan slept on should have been full of marks of time. The delicate carvings were all worn out, and the paint had peeled off to the point where the original color was almost invisible.
However, what came into view was completely different. It was clearly a brand new stepping bed, bright red in color, with delicate carvings, and hanging red bed curtains.
Everything in front of him is clearly the decoration of an ancient wedding night.
Du Yan sat up from the bed and looked toward the window.
Where there should be a sofa,
It was a dressing table. A person was sitting in front of the dressing table, with long hair that reached the ground.
She was wearing a bright red wedding dress with exquisite embroidery, and her delicate hands looked as white as jade carvings in the dim light.
The graceful woman reached out and picked up the wooden comb on the table. On her slender wrist, she wore a jade bracelet of emerald green. If this was really the wedding night, the scene would be so beautiful that it would make people intoxicated.
The woman picked up the comb and began to comb her black hair, which was as gorgeous as satin, with graceful movements.
This situation was extremely bizarre, but Du Yan had a natural look on his face, sitting motionless on the bed, watching the woman combing her hair.
After a long time.
A faint voice sounded: “We are married and will be together till old age…”
The woman kept repeating this sentence, combing her hair faster and harder. Her black hair got tangled in the comb and was pulled off her scalp, falling to the ground in bloody clumps.
The last time, she used such force that it seemed as if she was trying to tear her head off her neck. With a snap, the head resting on her shoulders was bent at a 90-degree angle.
Even in this twisted position, the woman in red continued to comb her hair until all her hair fell to the ground, leaving only her bald scalp.
Her hands still did not stop, and the wooden comb fell on her scalp, combing it again and again until it bled.
Finally, she stopped, put down the comb, stood up, and turned around slowly.
The woman tilted her head, opened her red lips, and said to Du Yan: “Husband, do you think I am beautiful?”
She had a cute expression and a gentle voice. If you don’t look at her twisted neck and bloody scalp, she looked like a shy bride.
Du Yan finally moved. He got off the bed, stood up, and slowly walked to the woman.
The woman stood there without moving but raised her face slightly, exposing her terrifying face completely.
Her skin was very white, and her lips were painted with rouge, which made them look very rosy. The most special thing was her eyes, which were very dark, with the entire eye sockets being dark without a trace of white.
Du Yan just stared at this terrifying face without changing his expression, observing it in detail, as if the person in front of him was really a peerless beauty.
The woman spoke again, her tone soft and gentle, as if she was whispering to her lover under the bed: “Husband, do you think I am beautiful?”
Du Yan raised his hand as if to touch the ghost’s face. He whispered: “You are such a beautiful woman. Why do you want to stay in this filthy world? Isn’t it better to enter the reincarnation cycle?”
The woman laughed, her laughter was long and distant, and it echoed in the empty room for a long time. She said: “Of course it’s for you, my dear.”
Du Yan seemed to be bewildered. He placed his fingers on the back of the woman’s neck and lowered his head slightly.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.
The person who came shouted: “Du Yan, don’t be fooled by her, she is a ghost!”
Du Yan’s body froze, and he looked up and found that the person was Xiao Lang. Du Yan was holding a piece of talisman paper between his fingertips, which was emitting a faint golden light, but it went out the moment he saw Xiao Lang.
As soon as Xiao Lang finished speaking, he took a few steps to Du Yan’s side, pulled him behind him, and then kicked the female ghost.
According to common sense, Xiao Lang is still a living person and should not be able to touch the female ghost’s body. However, the situation in front of him is that the female ghost was kicked away and fell hard against the corner of the wall. After a miserable scream, she disappeared.
Du Yan was really stunned this time and stood there in a daze.
What exactly is going on? Let alone how Xiao Lang suddenly appeared in his room, how could he attack the female ghost and make her disappear from the world.
Before Du Yan could figure out what was going on, Xiao Lang turned around.
He looked at Du Yan with a righteous look on his face and said righteously: “You are too unguarded. That female ghost looks strange and weird. How could you be deceived by such a thing?”
As Xiao Lang spoke, he grabbed Du Yan’s hand. He lifted up the corner of his clothes and wiped Du Yan’s hand that had just touched the female ghost with a look of disgust.
After their bodies touched, Du Yan realized something was wrong. Xiao Lang’s hand holding his had no warmth and was light.
The Xiao Lang in front of him was not a human, but he was not a ghost either. His current state was more solid than a ghost, and he did not have any resentment but rather anger.
This state is clearly the soul leaving the body. After understanding the situation, Du Yan calmed down.
He looked at Xiao Lang and smiled softly: “Thank you very much for coming to save me. To express my gratitude, I will…”
Du Yan didn’t finish his words. He just raised his hand lightly and tapped Xiao Lang’s brow with his index finger.
The tall Xiao Lang in front of him suddenly fell to the ground.
Du Yan lifted up the incorporeal Xiao Lang with just one hand, opened the door, and walked out. Xiao Lang’s door was closed, but this did not pose a problem for Du Yan.
Du Yan went downstairs and found the front desk. He said directly to the front desk lady on duty: “Sorry, I was chatting in another room and forgot to bring my room card. My friend was sleeping too soundly and I couldn’t knock on the door.”
The front desk lady was naturally impressed by the good-looking Du Yan, and the room number he reported was one of the rooms that had just been occupied, so she took out the spare room card and gave it to Du Yan.
The sound of Du Yan entering the room was very quiet and did not wake up the people inside.
He quickly put Xiao Lang’s soul back into Xiao Lang’s body lying on the bed and then quickly left the room without leaving a trace.
