Chapter 38 Classic Movie Appreciation (XII)
Jin Wen quickly got up, washed, picked up her schoolbag and hurried to the teaching building, but still missed the bell for morning classes.
Generally speaking, if one person in the dormitory is late for a morning class, the other roommates will help her save a seat. But today, Jin Wen called out several times in the dormitory group, but the three roommates did not respond.
She could only sneak in through the back door and saw that the classroom was already full, with only one seat left in the third row from the back. Coincidentally, several girls next to that seat turned their heads and looked at her, and their faces looked familiar to Jin Wen.
Oh, Jin Wen remembered that these four people were her classmates in dormitory 606, which was right across the street. However, she didn’t interact with them very often and couldn’t even remember their names.
Jin Wen ran over a little embarrassedly, "Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
The girl in the lead was very thin, with cold white skin that looked a little malnourished. She smiled friendly and whispered, "Sit down."
This must be a very weak girl, Jin Wen thought.
…
In class, Jin Wen was always absent-minded.
She wanted to ask her roommate if she wanted to have lunch together, but she got no response no matter she tagged her in the group or sent her a private message.
As soon as the bell rang, she hurriedly picked up her bag and was about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the weak girl next to her: "By the way, Jin Wen, I have something to ask you."
"Ah, what's wrong?" For some reason, Jin Wen subconsciously didn't want to talk to the other party, but when she saw the girl's friendly smile, she couldn't help but let down her guard.
Then, the girl smiled and said, "When we left this morning, we saw a yellow square paper bag hanging on the door of your dormitory. I want to ask what it is?"
"This..." Jin Wen was speechless for a moment. She was embarrassed to say that this was used to perform rituals to improve luck, so she evaded the question by saying, "It's just a decoration. It looks nice."
…Only a ghost would believe that. The paper bag is weird and abrupt, and it doesn’t look good at all.
Realizing that she had made incoherent remarks, Jin Wen left the classroom in embarrassment and hurried, not knowing that behind her, four "neighbor" girls were staring at the direction she left, without moving for a long time.
A busy day of classes passed quickly, and Jin Wen only had time to return to the dormitory after dinner.
If she remembered correctly, her roommates should not have classes at that time, but when she knocked on the dormitory door, no one answered.
What's going on ? Where did my roommate go today?
Full of questions, Jin Wen suddenly heard her roommate's voice from behind her. She turned around in surprise and found that the voice came from the half-open door of the dormitory 606 opposite.
...My roommate is in the dormitory opposite?
When I pushed open the half-open door, I saw my roommate who had been "missing" for the whole day.
"Wei Xian, Cao Rou, Zhou Xing, why are you here?"
The three roommates did not respond to Jin Wen's surprised question. They were enthusiastically promoting the yellow paper fortune-changing technique to four classmates from the neighboring dormitory.
"This is what my master taught me. It works every time. Since we finished doing it in the dormitory last week, I feel refreshed and my life is going smoothly! We are all classmates. I taught you this method, so you can use it today!"
Wei Xian was pulling a short-haired girl to sell him something like that. The girl shrank her neck in fear and looked very helpless.
Jin Wen: "...No, Wei Xian, what are you doing? Don't grab me so hard!"
Help! People are going to think their dormitory is doing a pyramid scheme!
After finally pulling Wei Xian's excited arm down, Jin Wen was horrified to find that her other two roommates were no less excited - Cao Rou grabbed a beautiful girl with a cold face and refused to let go, while Zhou Xing pestered another girl with glasses and even tried to force her to write down her date of birth.
The "victims" who were being harassed, and who were also the classmates who gave up their seats to Jin Wen this morning, all had expressions of despair on their faces, and seemed not to be interested in the recommendations of Wei Xian and others at all.
Jin Wen: ...Her roommate was obviously not like this before!
The only "spared" person who called her back to her senses was the weak girl in the morning class. She still had a faint smile on her face and said, "The yellow paper fortune-changing spell, is that the paper package you hung on the dormitory door?"
She handed over a red paper bag. "These are the cooking supplies your roommate insisted we take. Please take them back. We really can't use them."
"Yes... I'm really sorry to bother you." Jin Wen felt her face burning and was too ashamed to face these classmates. She quickly used all her strength to drag the three frenzied roommates back to her dormitory.
Bang! The dormitory door closed behind her panicked back.
The dormitory, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet. The few people who had been harassed straightened their clothes and looked at each other.
“Huh…” Guo Guo let out a long breath, “They finally left. If it had been any longer, I would have resisted.”
After being strengthened by the game rewards, their physical fitness is almost double that of ordinary people. If they really start fighting, they can easily injure a few ordinary female college students.
"A normal female college student?"
Zheng Wanqing frowned and rolled up her sleeves, which gave her goose bumps: "They look like perverts to me."
Of course, judging from the movie, the roommates of the heroine "Jin Wen" are all obvious ghost candidates, and now they are mentally ill, which is actually quite normal.
Tang Xin Jue twisted his wrist and looked around: "Everything here is the same as our dormitory. It may be convenient for the film theme, the whole dormitory is worn in."
The geographical environment is familiar, making combat very convenient.
She glanced outside the balcony. "It's sunset now, and the sky hasn't gotten completely dark yet. Let's start by organizing the information and reviewing the situation."
First of all, there is no doubt that they are now in the "rerun" of "Headless Tales 2".
About ten hours ago, the four woke up from the dormitory in the game reality. After resting, they opened the second part of the Headless Ghost Story series while their memory of the first part was still fresh.
Although the length of "Headless 2" is the shortest of the three films, the final Q&A is equally outrageous:
[Excuse me, among the four characters in Dormitory 612 in the movie, which character died first?]
[A. Wei Xian]
[B, Jin Wen]
[C, Cao Rou]
[D, Zhou Xing]
If they remembered correctly, the three people in the movie, except Jin Wen, clearly lost their heads at the same time.
…
In short, after choosing B by the process of elimination - Jin Wen's first kill, the system decisively determined that they had answered incorrectly and then teleported them into this movie.
When they met Jin Wen in the classroom during the morning class, they had just arrived here.
"This time I didn't dress up as a character in a movie, but became the roommate next door to the protagonists. It's not bad."
Guo Guo was very relieved, otherwise the madness of these characters today would be enough to cause her sanity to drop rapidly.
During this day, they really attended classes like college students, but they spent most of their time collecting information from the students around them.
"From what we can see so far, the world view of this movie is relatively complete, and the map is also very large." Zhang You listed the information in detail on the paper: "At least the inside of the campus and the dormitory area can be accessed normally."
They even tried to leave the school, but they learned that a murder had occurred on campus a few days ago, leading to a school-wide lockdown, and all students could only move around inside the school. Unless they had special approval, they could not leave.
At this point, the four of them exchanged glances in tacit understanding.
——There is no doubt that the "bloody case" that was not mentioned in the movie is a clue that needs to be explored.
…
Standing in the two-meter corridor, Jin Wen closed the dormitory door and sighed heavily.
She took out her phone and complained, "I couldn't find you guys today. Not only did you not reply to my messages, but you also went to other people's dorms to make trouble. They may not believe this, and we are not familiar with them. This will definitely make things awkward for us."
Jin Wen walked to the water dispenser and got herself a glass of water. The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed: "You must explain clearly today. I think something is wrong with you today..."
"Jin Wen, come and take a look at the paper bag on our door. Is it a little tilted?"
The roommate's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Jin Wen froze.
The tone of the voice was flat and cold, with no emotion in it, which suddenly reminded her of the scene in her nightmare.
...Even the direction from which the sound came from behind was exactly the same!
"Jin Wen, why don't you come and take a look?"
"Come quickly, you are the only one missing."
Amid the continuous urging voice that almost overlapped with the dream, a fine chill crept up Jinwen's back.
