Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 39: Unknown Movie City
"Master, don't you know? There's no one on the road, don't get off the bus."

Chen Ning'an took his hand back: "I don't have a driver's license and don't want to drive. If you want to go down and take a look in this remote place, I won't stop you."

The driver was immediately horrified: "Forget it, that thing doesn't look like a human, so let's not stop the car."

"Ah."

Chen Ning'an nodded and glanced at the co-pilot.

The other passenger didn't react much to hitting something, which made people pay attention.

But he didn't say anything. As long as it wasn't his business, he didn't need to pay attention to it.

The driver turned on the windshield wipers and kept scraping the blood stains. Strangely enough, the thick blood stains could not be scraped clean.

The spots of blood did not obstruct the view. The driver kept muttering, "Strange, strange, strange."

There are no animals blocking the road here, and Chen Ning'an didn't remind them. He was just hoping to make some extra money.

Unfortunately, the road was smooth in the end, the night was still dark, and everyone was drowsy.

The driver yawned and suddenly asked in surprise: "Huh? What's going on? Where are the people here?"

It turned out that we had just entered the South Cinema City. There were no lights around and the driver thought we had not reached our destination yet.

"This is weird, where are the people?"

I saw that the high-rise buildings around me were empty. Not to mention the lights, there were not even emergency lights. All the street lights were dark.

"Master, just take me to the next intersection."

Uncle Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said that he was getting off here as he had made an appointment with his friend to go together.

"I'll get off in front too." Chen Ning'an's nose twitched and he chose the same road as Uncle Liu.

He recognized from the voice that this was his attending physician.
I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way at night after just meeting during the day.

"Don't you want me to take you home?" The driver felt something was wrong and said kindly, "There's not even a street light here today, and there's no one or cars on the street. It's scary."

Uncle Liu got off the car directly. Since he didn't take any money from him, Chen Ning'an said to the driver, "If you don't want money, then take my words."

"On the way back, don't stop, don't look back, and try not to talk. You must go all the way to the downtown area before you can get off. Remember, it must be in the downtown area."

After saying this, he turned around and followed Uncle Liu, disappearing in the headlights of the black car.

"Hey, little brother, I want to get out of the car and see what I hit, okay?"

The driver shouted, but Chen Ningan didn't look back.

"What a strange person. Md, it's scary in the middle of the night."

Everything was abnormal today. The driver started the car and turned around to leave the cinema.

On the road, the already dark highway seemed even darker. Suddenly, the vehicle in front hit something, making a "bang!" sound.

He subconsciously wanted to stop the car and check, but suddenly remembered what Chen Ningan said.

"Weird, really weird!"

He shifted his foot from the brake to the accelerator and sped away!

There was nothing in the rearview mirror, but the driver kept checking it. At this time, a strange noise came from the back seat.

Oh my god, is this a ghost?
He realized it later and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, speeding and changing his route, heading straight towards the downtown area.

"Brother, what do you think I am?"

There was a sound coming from the back seat. The driver's heart almost stopped with fright. He didn't dare to say anything and didn't know how he drove back to the downtown area.

He stopped in the middle of the road, and the noisy and mixed sounds around him finally brought him back to his senses.

I looked back and saw that there was no one in the back seat.

He seemed to remember something and hurriedly got out of the car to check. The front of the car was clean and there was nothing there.

Looking at the car window again, is there any bloodstain that cannot be wiped off?
Damn it! Damn it!
The driver didn't dare to drive the car tonight, so he just chose an all-night food stall and sat there until dawn.

…………

In the South Cinema, Chen Ningan was still following Uncle Liu. "Why are you following me?"

Uncle Liu finally turned around and was stunned when he saw Chen Ning'an.

"It's you?"

He had thought of many scenarios, maybe a robbery, maybe they were traveling together, or even maybe he had only a vague understanding of what happened that year.

But he didn't expect that it was his patient Chen Ning'an.

No wonder his voice sounded familiar.

"Uncle Liu, it's not a good idea to walk alone in a place like this in the middle of the night."

Chen Ningan smiled and said, "I came to South Cinema City to do something. What are you doing here?"

He could not sense the aura of the lantern from Uncle Liu; he felt that the other person was not from the same world as him.

"Look at what you said, Uncle Liu, can't I have a few friends?"

Uncle Liu's expression changed: "My friend is at the Future Movie King Hotel in front. It's dark at night. Shall we go together?"

"Let's go all the way."

Chen Ning'an agreed, his face looking frighteningly pale in the night.

Uncle Liu felt uneasy, as if this was no longer a living person, but he studied medicine and knew that everything was scientific.

This is what seriously ill patients are like. They probably have to gasp for air even when walking now.

The Future Movie Emperor Hotel is just about a hundred meters ahead. From afar, you can see the building located in the darkness, with its open door ready to swallow anyone.

There are no lights.

Uncle Liu felt something was wrong, so he took out his phone and sent a message: "Where are you? I'm almost downstairs at the hotel, why can't I see you?"

"Ding dong."

The message came from the other end, typed: [I'm in the fourth room on the right on the second floor. You'll see me when you come up.]

"Then turn on the light. Is there a power outage in this damn place?"

Uncle Liu complained dissatisfiedly, but no more news came from the other end.

He felt more and more that something was wrong. He was alone here, what if he encountered danger?
He looked at the patient beside him and a plan came to his mind:

"Ning An, you can't get things done so late at night, why don't you come with me to stay in a hotel?"

"It's not easy for you either. Uncle Liu, I'll open a room for you. How about leaving tomorrow?"

"it is good."

Chen Ning'an was very frugal with words. He stared at the future movie actor in the hotel in front of him.

This place didn't look like one that living people could live in, but he did sense the familiar presence of the Lantern Man in it.

Maybe there really was a power outage?
Do you believe it yourself? Chen Ningan laughed at his guess. How could it be possible?

If there is a power outage, will not even candles or flashlights be able to light up?
As they approached the hotel, they saw a person sitting at the front desk.

It was the girl at the front desk. She stared at them blankly and asked in a flat voice, "Accommodation?"

It was a living person. Uncle Liu looked at it carefully for several times before he realized and said, "Stop."

He took out his ID card and asked, "Is the power out here? Why can't I see anything? Aren't you afraid of being alone here, little sister?"

"Not light?"

The receptionist's mouth curved up, probably smiling: "You are such a joker."

She worked on the dark computer for a while and handed the ID card back to Uncle Liu: "205 and 206 upstairs, the fifth and sixth rooms on the right."

Such a strange scene made Uncle Liu's hands tremble as he took the ID card.

"You are joking. You are the one who likes to joke."
