Chapter 28 Preparation
Old Jerry was startled when he saw Gilan coming back with shopping bags and a flower basket.
But soon, the wrinkles on his old face bloomed like chrysanthemums, revealing a meaningful smile, and said:
"Miss Sparrow likes gardening, I believe she will like your gift Yes, sir."
"Uh." Gillan stopped at the stairs and was stunned. "I bought this for myself."
However, old Jerry seemed to see through his trick, shook his head with a smile, turned around and went to the kitchen to start preparing the lunch meal.
I could still hear him murmuring vaguely:
"How can anyone buy flowers for themselves... Young people today are still too shy."
< br>Jilan raised his eyebrows and didn't bother to explain. He went straight to the third floor and returned to his room.
He divided the purchased items into categories, stacked them neatly, and put them into the closet. Then he took out the money and belongings from the iron box, stuffed them into the newly purchased leather wallet, and carried them with him.
Night time.
Old Jerry sent the documents copied by Mr. Stork, which are intelligence information about "Black Lake".
Gilan sat alone in the room reading.
The "Recording Meeting" did not explore "Black Lake" deeply, so there was not much valuable information.
But it is worth noting that at the beginning of the movie, everyone will enter the "Town of Fayelan" as a "tour group" and follow an archaeologist named "Fima Costello" College students work together to explore the secrets buried deep in this small town.
This "Fima" is the heroine of the movie.
Her real purpose of going to the town was to find her missing parents. They are famous archaeologists who have not been heard from since they went to "Fayelan'en Town" a few months ago.
In the preliminary test of the last "recording meeting", I met the cultists in the "Forest National Park" in the north of the town. It was an evil organization called "Lake God Cult". Their methods were cruel. A manhunt was launched for the four people.
Fortunately, their strength was not weak and they escaped smoothly in the end.
After that, the four of them went out to look for useful clues, and found several suspicious points.
One is naturally the "Black Lake" hidden in the deepest part of the "Forest National Park". It is inaccessible and local residents dare not approach it. Rumor has it that the Black Lake is the gateway to hell, and there are demons around it, and anyone who comes close will not end well.
Secondly, in addition to tourism, the town's pillar industries are mining and sawmilling, but the two largest industries, "Black Lake Coal Mine" and "Black Lake Sawmill", appear frequently Accidentally, the worker died tragically.
Thirdly, the local TV station promoted "Fayelan'en Town" as a beautiful tourist destination, but it rains all year round and it is difficult to see the sky. And before the "tour group" arrived, there had been several cases of missing tourists.
'Well, it seems that Mr. Stork and the others are very professional...'
Gilan slowly closed the copied document, looking thoughtful.
'But to be on the safe side, it would be better for me to get in touch with the real film of "Black Lake" in advance and use the "colorful" apocalyptic dream to get key warnings. ’
He thought to himself, got up and walked out of the room.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the living room on the first floor had already been turned off.
Click.
Gilan casually pressed the light switch on the wall of the spiral staircase, and warm yellow light shone from the beautiful morning glory-shaped lampshade, illuminating the staircase.
He came all the way to the entrance of a room in the corner of the living room.
This room is a utility room, but it has actually been transformed into a secret screening room for the "recording session". There are several projectors stored in it, as well as corresponding curtains and sofas.
However, Jilan stopped at the door and couldn't help but be stunned.
Because light was shining through the crack of the closed door, and there were faint voices coming from inside.
‘It’s so late, who will be inside? ’
Guilan was suspicious, so she slowly leaned her head closer and put her ear against the door.
Suddenly, the voice inside gradually became clearer:
"...Don't shoot! It's me, Ashton, your lover, Sylviane." A woman's voice came. Come.
"Oh, I know it's you! As soon as you got out of the elevator, I smelled your odor!" Another man's cold voice sounded. "Giggle, you're still so anxious." The woman's voice gradually became coquettish, and she chuckled repeatedly. "Well, well, be gentle! My husband is sleeping upstairs! If he finds out, he will burn you to ashes!"
"I'm not afraid, hey... I just like your coquettishness..."
As the sound in the room gradually turned into screaming and crying, Jilan's expression also changed. Getting weird.
He originally thought it was one of the club members who was studying the "real film" overnight, and secretly admired it, but now it seemed that someone was secretly watching a short movie.
Jilan raised his hand to knock on the door, but after a slight hesitation, he finally put it down.
He turned and left, planning to come back later.

More than an hour later.
Gilan returned to the utility room door of the living room on the first floor again. This time, there was no light or sound inside, and he was secretly relieved.
If he were to break it, the scene would be very embarrassing.
Jilan doesn’t want to get into trouble with the members of the society for no reason because of this.
He pulled the handle and pushed the door open.
After turning on the light in the utility room, a room of less than twenty square meters came into view. A projector was placed on the platform at the foot of the left wall, facing the curtain hanging on the right wall. .
In the center of the room is a low sofa, and a file cabinet is placed against the wall away from the door. There are many documents and books on it, as well as some ordinary film reels, neatly placed.
Gilan walked over and touched the sofa. It was still warm, indicating that someone was indeed watching a movie here just now.
He raised his head and suddenly found that there was a reel of film on the file cabinet that was not inserted properly and was about to fall off, so he walked forward and picked it up.
"Midnight: The Legend of Mr. A #1."
Gilan glanced at the small label attached to the lower right corner of the film reel with a strange expression.
“Is this the short movie that was played just now?”
He shook his head, not interested in watching it, inserted it back into the file cabinet, and then rummaged through other films.
Unfortunately, Gillan did not find the real film of "Black Lake".
‘Same. ’ He sighed secretly. ‘Such an important thing would not be left here casually. ’
‘It seems that we can only try to act with them tomorrow, and after touching the film reel, we can use the "colorful" Apocalypse Dream to obtain key information. ’
Gilan’s original plan failed and he had to leave in anger.
However, not long after he turned off the lights and went upstairs, a tall figure hurried back to the living room and entered the utility room without stopping.
Click.
When the light was turned on, it illuminated the beautiful face of a woman.
Miss Seagull, who has short ear-length hair, is wearing a loose lavender silk nightgown, showing the contours of her body, but her expression is slightly nervous, and her eyes are scanning the utility room.
Soon, her face relaxed.
He walked forward quickly, knelt down, picked up the wet handkerchief that had fallen under the sofa, and quickly put it away.
Just as she was secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that on the information cabinet on one side, a certain reel of film was neatly inserted on it.
"Then... I should have put it myself, right?"
Miss Seagull's pretty face changed slightly, but she felt uncertain in her heart.
In the end, her cheeks turned red, she gritted her teeth and turned off the light and left, but her back looked slightly embarrassed.
