Chapter 1171 The Alternation of Yin and Yang
The old troupe leader doesn’t know what the fate of the cheating ghost will be, and he has never heard of it. After all, a troupe that can do such a thing will probably never have a chance to talk again.
The rest of the troupe knew that the taboo had been violated, no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to kneel down, and together with the old troupe leader, they kowtowed around the stage. While doing so, they also said that they had broken the contract unintentionally and must not blame anyone. Class words.
When the man saw this scene, there was no expression of surprise on his face.
Immediately, after everything was arranged, the old troupe leader gathered everyone in the troupe together and held a meeting for everyone with a very serious attitude.
Although the old leader has never sung a ghost show, his master once did. After getting drunk, the master once mentioned this experience inadvertently.
The old leader emphasized that no one singing on stage can wear red, and the red parts of costumes and props must be wrapped with white linen.
Whether it is singing or fighting scenes, the spear points of the props, as well as the blades and blades of the swords, are not allowed to face the audience, let alone look at the audience.
If...if you really see an extremely terrifying scene, you must remember that you must not panic or scream. Most importantly, no matter what happens, you must not stop.
It is a taboo to stop a ghost play in the middle of the performance. It is said that the ghosts' resentment will be appeased by listening to the play. If you stop midway, the ghost's resentment will burst out, and you will suffer a big disaster!
There is also the ring player team who is performing the music next to the stage. Their rules are the same, but there is one more rule. They need to cover their eyes with a white cloth before the ghost show starts, and no matter what happens during the show, they must not take it off. .
"Old leader, what will... happen to you?" someone in the ringer team asked in a low voice.
“I don’t know.” The old leader slowly shook his head, “But according to what I heard, maybe during the beating, you will encounter something blowing cool air into your back collar, or there may be something mixed in between you. , you will hear the sound of musical instruments that are not in the troupe."
The faces of everyone became very ugly after hearing this.
"As long as...as long as we don't violate these taboos, nothing will happen, right?" Someone asked, and now the entire troupe was filled with a sense of desolation that they were about to die.
Before the old leader could speak, the man on the side was the first to answer, "Yes, that's it. As long as you cooperate seriously, after the play is finished, all the nearby spectators will disperse, and we will never interact with you again in this life." ”
But now, no matter how reluctant they are, everyone can only believe the man’s words and do their best to sing the ghost show tonight.
"When does the play start?" someone asked the man in a very bad tone.
The man didn't care, nodded, and replied calmly: "At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the yin and yang alternate, and with the sound of the gong as the signal, the play can begin. The ghost play begins, the dead settle their grievances, and the living seek help. Live.”
……
The content in the newspaper was full of content, and everyone read it for a long time, but the story ended here hastily. Du Moyu grabbed the newspaper and rummaged through it, but there was no follow-up to the story.
"Stop looking for it." Jiang Cheng patted him and said, "It's gone down there."
"It's gone now? Isn't this a scam?" Du Moyu was a little nervous. They couldn't help but realize that the current situation was so similar to the introduction in the newspaper. There was a stage in front of them, and all the decorations on it were correct.
It is certain that this stage was built by those people at the beginning, and the final way out of this mission is also related to this ghost show.
If they can know the subsequent development of the story, they will have more direction in looking for clues.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
"Huh? Look, on the newspaper...why are all the words on the newspaper missing?" Du Moyu, holding the newspaper, exclaimed.
Actually, what he said was inaccurate. It was not that the words on it were missing, but that they had become very blurry, as if they had been wet by water. In short, they could no longer be recognized.
"There is something weird about this newspaper, and it seems to be a clue to guide us." Xia Meng analyzed: "If you think about it, how much content we just saw from the newspaper, a newspaper can really record Such rich content? ”
Xia Qiang echoed, "Yes, and have you noticed that the narrative angle of the stories in the newspapers is also a bit strange, from a wide range of sources, even... some even seem to be unfolded from the perspective of the victim, everyone is dead, How is it possible..."
Xia Qiang didn't say the rest of the words, but anyone who could stand here was not an idiot.
Turning his head and looking towards the stage, there was a story to pave the way. At this moment, the stage in Jiang Cheng's eyes became more and more weird, "At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, yin and yang alternate, with the sound of gongs as the signal... The ghost show starts, The dead let go of their grudges, and the living seek life."
He savored these sentences, especially the last two.
It is not difficult to understand that the dead can resolve their grievances. They have confirmed with personal experience that there are many innocent souls who were burned to death, and even now there are innocent souls posing as teammates and lurking around them.
It is important for the living to survive. This is clearly meant for the living among them. That is to say, when the ghost show starts, that is when the path of life is revealed.
But what Jiang Cheng couldn't figure out was that at 12 o'clock at night, ghosts would appear around the stage and rush to watch the show. If living people like them also rushed over, wouldn't they have collided with ghosts? Is there any way to survive?
My thoughts were a little confused for a while, and the surrounding scenes also made him feel uneasy.
Suddenly, a bell rang, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
I rushed over following the sound and saw a large pendulum clock as tall as one person at a location similar to the front desk of a hotel.
The hand of the pendulum clock just points to the position of 9.
"Nine o'clock." Someone couldn't help but say.
Out of habit, Jiang Cheng immediately took out his cell phone and checked the time.
It seems that this is the time in this world, and it is most likely 9 o'clock at night. After all, they have been in this world for a while, and when they looked out through the window, the people on the street The time seemed to be afternoon, almost evening.
"Come and see here!" Zhou Tong stood up from behind the long table at the front desk of the hotel. Judging from his expression, he must have made a new discovery.
When Jiang Cheng walked over, he saw a wooden board embedded in the wall behind the long table. There were some nails evenly distributed on the wooden board, and on the nails, there were scattered keys hanging.
The key is copper-colored, giving the impression that it has just been hung here not long ago.
If you look carefully, you can also see the numbers written in black pen on the wooden board. Each key has a corresponding number, which presumably is the room number corresponding to the key.
Jiang Cheng’s expression remained as usual, but his suspicion of Zhou Tong deepened. The location where the key was stored was so hidden that you couldn’t even notice it if you didn’t look carefully.
Zhou Tong is a ghost, so she must have her own purpose for doing this.
This is a trap. (End of chapter)
