novelmao.com, the fastest update, I won’t memorize the latest chapters!

Jian Hua’s gaze fell on the huge poster at the entrance of the studio’s ticket office.

A large group of crows form the background of the poster. The picture is bleak. A handsome man in armor looks up at the sky, full of murderous look, and has terrifying eyes, perfectly blending with the sharp fonts that make up the title.

He wants to watch it for a while. The staff in the studio has already walked to the stand, ready to move it away and replace it with a new movie poster that will be released tomorrow. About it was held in a hurry, the support swayed and suddenly collapsed, and the man on the poster with the firm gaze and the upright posture seemed to collapse suddenly.

Jian Hua was stunned and turned his head slowly.

Behind her, a young girl begged the staff to send posters in a soft voice.

Jian Hua subconsciously touched his pocket, and then he remembered that he had quit smoking half a month ago. Now there is no cigarette in his clothes but a small can of chewing gum. He tapped the lid of the box lightly with his thumb. The knuckles of his fingers are more clearly illuminated, making them look extraordinarily slender and elegant.

Jian Hua is a stand-in actor, difficult, risky, or particularly hard, all belong to the stand-in actor, no matter how well he plays, no audience knows his name.

Jian Hua has no ambitions that are inconsistent with his own abilities, but the trouble has come to the door. Someone let him lose his job, and he couldn’t get mixed up in the stuntman circle.

He stayed at home for more than half a year until Jian Hua accidentally received a call this morning.

Is the agent of the actor Li Fei. The actor intends to sign a contract with him and asks Jian Hua to act as an exclusive stand-in actor. The treatment is favorable.

Jian Hua did not agree, but his heart was shaken. He has met Li Fei and also served as a military substitute for the other party. This is the film he watched today. According to his conscience, Li Fei is a good person, but–

Jian Hua, who was stuck in her thoughts, didn’t notice that the elevator hadn’t come up for a long time.

A young and handsome man in popular casual clothes, with long and straight legs wrapped under his jeans, he casually put a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, and his lips under the warm yellow light turned to ambiguous orange.

Watching a movie, you can also meet handsome guys at the end. The two female students waiting for the elevator lit up and bit their ears quietly.

The elevator in the cinema can accommodate ten people. Jian Hua left the scene after watching all the subtitles at the end of the movie. At this time, the people watching the movie at the same scene are almost gone. The screen above the ticket counter shows the current time 22. :44, the waiting area of ​​the cinema is empty.

“Ding.” The elevator slowly opened.

Jian Hua walked into the elevator with a couple who were still excited about the plot, behind them were the two girls dressed as students. The elevator was filled with the strong aroma of a hot pot restaurant on a floor below the studio. Jian Hua frowned, his stomach seemed to come alive in an instant, and he made a serious protest.

It is easy to be hungry after quitting smoking, especially the fresh spicy smell that stimulates the taste buds.

Jian Hua glanced at the hot pot restaurant advertisement posted in the elevator. His mind drifted away. When he didn’t chew gum for a while, the entire elevator shook suddenly.

Unexpectedly, the female student screamed in shock.

Jian Hua subconsciously leaned against the elevator wall, and at the same time, his arm supported the car wall to maintain balance. Before he could judge the situation further, the elevator swayed quickly and disappeared quickly. Except for the screaming sound, it seemed to be nothing. It never happened.

The five people in the elevator looked at each other and looked at the button panel flashing with numbers.

“First floor.” The mechanical electronic female voice came from the horn, and the elevator door opened smoothly.

The little couple breathed a sigh of relief, and the man immediately murmured: “Something broke the elevator, and there is no maintenance. Fortunately, nothing happened.”

The two female students were also afraid, because the shaking was too violent. They all fell on the wall of the elevator car. Fortunately, there are not many people who take the elevator. Unfamiliar people stand some distance away, otherwise How embarrassing it is to lie on others!

Although Jian Hua was not scared, no one would be happy when encountering such a thing. Jian Hua pinched his eyebrows, walked out of the elevator, looked around the first floor of the mall, and prepared to find the service counter to respond to the elevator problem. Because of the danger of his own work, Jian Hua is more sensitive to this kind of things, and the market does not pay attention to it.

Shortly after getting out of the elevator, Jian Hua felt a little strange.

10:30 is the closing time of the mall. Some counters have been covered with a heavy layer of flannel, and the lights in some areas are turned off. The bustling places during the day are deserted, but today it looks a little strange. There is nothing in sight. one person.

There are no security guards, no cleaning staff, and no counter lady who is busy doing the last business.

The perfume with the bottle cap opened was still on the counter, and some cleaning tools were scattered on the floor. The air conditioner in the mall had been turned off. Somehow, the cold wind coming in from that made the entire lobby very cold.

The young couple took out the mobile phone to play tricks on the car software.

Two female students rubbed their fingers and went straight to a kfc next to the mall. The fast food restaurant had a sliding door on the first floor of the mall. They came to the ordering table, looked around, and started calling out to the waiter.

There is no one in the fast food restaurant, and you can see the dazed expressions of the girls through the glass.

The ominous feeling is more serious, Jian Hua walked quickly towards the door. The cold wind blowing in the middle of the autumn night made Jian Hua stiff and settled on the square outside the mall.

Under the neon lights, the bustling city, which should have been busy, stopped.

Cars stalled on the road, not in a jam, they are scattered on the viaducts and auxiliary roads. In the dark night sky, a bleak moon silently illuminates the quiet streets, and the city seems to have suddenly become a photo, without change or vitality.

Where did everyone go?

Jian Hua felt the muscles in his cheek twitch, and the gum was still in his mouth, and he didn’t chew for long, but he couldn’t taste it anymore, and the huge sense of absurdity almost swallowed him.

“What’s the matter, there is no signal, I can’t even connect to the Internet…Huh?”

The young couple who followed right out of the mall were also frightened in the same way. They opened their eyes in horror, looking at the road in the distance, their bodies trembled involuntarily, huddled together in a hurry, and stammered:

“What’s wrong, people?”

“It’s a prank, let’s make a variety show of spoof type!”

The man barely calmed his mind and said loudly: “It’s too boring, it’s late at night!”

The woman hurriedly pulled him, complaining: “You speak carefully, maybe it’s a live broadcast! It’s a good thing to be on TV, what do you care about.”

I haven’t heard of any major program groups recently that have to block a few roads near the business district. Even if there are, the guests on the program are the biggest names. Who are the passers-by?

Jian Hua took a step back, ran into the mall again, rushed back to the elevator door and pressed the indicator light on the top floor. The moment the elevator door closed, he heard his heartbeat, which was very rapid, and his breathing became heavy.

“Ding, sixth floor, Huanyu Studios welcomes you.” The warm yellow light shines on Jian Hua, which is brighter and warmer than the first floor of the mall, but the biting chill is in Jian Hua’s heart. Spread.

The poster and the support stand slanted on the ground, the staff who replaced it is gone, and the fans who want to get the poster are gone. There is still a sweet taste of popcorn in the movie theater ticketing hall, but they are playing on the counter. The conductor of the mobile phone is like never existed before.

Jian Hua squeezed his pocket for a long time but couldn’t find a cigarette. His anxiety made him frown deeply. He faintly heard the sound of two female students and the couple screaming hurriedly downstairs.

“Is there anyone? Is there anyone here?”

Jian Hua paused with his feet on the edge of the poster, moved away slowly, and looked down at the young general on the poster.

The title “The Crow” has a sharp pen and it seems to be able to poke the audience’s eyeballs. The general has a firm expression and his armor is broken, just like Populus euphratica standing in the desert. There is also a line of conspicuous words on the poster: actor Li Fei leads the lead role.

Jian Hua didn’t pick up this poster. He threw the gum into the trash can, and before stepping into the elevator again, he fixedly watched the scrolling electronic screen of the Eyeshadow City, the current time is 22:44.

***

When the other four people in the elevator wandered around the six floors of the mall and shouted in vain, Jian Hua had already left the studio.

He picked up the car in the parking lot and calmly started the car out of the commercial building, Mercedes-Benz in the quiet city. The speed gradually increased, bypassing one after another stalled cars on the road, and there was no one in all the cars.

Cold sweat came from the palm of the hand and stuck to the steering wheel cover.

Jian Hua’s heart sank. He turned on the radio in the car, and all channels were beating with electricity. The most terrifying thing was the time displayed by the car system. He stopped at 22:44 and remained unchanged.

He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and dialed one by one according to the address book, but he couldn’t make the call successfully.

He stepped on the brakes heavily, with a harsh sound, and the tires left a visible mark on the ground. Jian Hua leaned heavily on the seat and threw the phone in the glass box in the front of the car, supporting his forehead with his right hand, holding back the full of heart. Restless.

What a ghost!

I heard that ghosts hit the wall, but I never heard that people in the city disappeared after entering an elevator.

Jian Hua messed up his hair, restarted the vehicle, and drove home smoothly all the way.

The door of the community was the switch he pressed when he got off the car and went to the communication room. He left the car downstairs. Usually at this time, the next door is still watching TV. When going upstairs, the neighbor’s dog will bark a few times. Now there is a little movement. nothing.

Jian Hua didn’t change his coat. He fell down on the sofa in the living room and fumbled for the remote control to turn on the TV.

There are pictures, but the pictures of each station are still.

The host who broadcasts the evening news, the characters of the family ethics drama, the freeze-frame advertisements, the switching of channels one by one, just like watching a slideshow. It turns out that ordinary things are so horrible to be completely still.

Jian Hua resisted the urge to throw the remote control. If this was a nightmare, it would be too real.
