This actor is full of tricks.

Chapter 41 There is one more person in the room
Lin Jue was strolling in the woods. There were almost no signs of human activity here. The weeds and shrubs grew very lush. Occasionally, he could hear some noises, but he didn't know if they were from birds or something else.

Five minutes later, he stopped behind a tree.

Not far ahead stood a figure with its back to him.

He was wearing a suit and tie, and black leather gloves.

"Peace dove? Why is he here?"

Lin Jue hid secretly. He came to check after hearing the middle-aged man say that there was something strange in the woods. Why would the Dove of Peace come to such a sparsely populated place?

Could it be that what the middle-aged man said was related to this guy?
The guy was wearing a black suit, which exactly matched the description given by the middle-aged man's daughter.

The dove of peace raised its head and scanned the surrounding treetops, finally stopping behind the tree where Lin Jue was hiding.

"Don't hide, come out." His tone did not reveal his joy or anger.

Lin Jue came out from behind the tree, scratching his hair on the back of his head with one hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you strolling here too?"

He acted as if nothing had happened, not embarrassed at all, as if he was not the one hiding and peeping just now.

The dove of peace looked at him meaningfully, said nothing, and walked out of the woods.

Halfway through the journey, he stopped again without looking back: "I know you have other purposes. Although I don't know what you want to do, I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible."

"Brother, what purpose could I have? I'm just a graduate and an ordinary psychic enthusiast." Lin Jue pretended not to understand what Peace Dove said, with an innocent look on his face.

"It's up to you whether you listen or not." The dove of peace left.

Did this guy notice something?

Looking at the other person's back as he left, the smile on Lin Jue's face disappeared instantly. The middle-aged man and the people from the moving company were also trying to persuade him, but it was all because of the strange situation here.

And the Dove of Peace was just advising him. Could it be that this guy also discovered the strange traces?

But even the True Eyes and the Dharma Pupil couldn’t see it, so why could the Dove of Peace sense it?

"A strange person." Lin Jue put his thoughts away and followed the footsteps of the Peace Dove back to the villa.

In the villa, everyone else was sitting in the living room. Qiao Kang was fiddling with his camera, pointing it at where everyone was sitting.

"I was just about to contact you two." Qiao Kang looked at Lin Jue and the other two who had returned one after another and said, "I'm just about to record a video about a spooky story."

"It's just that everyone sits together and tells the weird stories we've heard, which serves as the beginning of my video about exploring the Lock Dragon Mountain Tunnel."

"All three of them agreed. If you don't agree, you can go and rest."

Qiao Kang had a good sense of propriety in his words. Although he asked everyone to help record the video, there was nothing in it that made people feel uncomfortable.

And this is a good idea too, starting with everyone sitting together and telling spooky stories, which increases the horror and anticipation of the video, and then going to the Suolongshan Tunnel which is full of supernatural elements.

Lin Jue had no objection and sat next to the female anchor Jia Jia.

The other person looked at the bag on his back, moved to the side calmly, and kept some distance.

Unexpectedly, the peace dove agreed: "Just don't point the camera at me."

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen!" Qiao Kang promised, turning on the camera and saying to the camera, "Friends, we have arrived at Locking Dragon Mountain now. Everyone is waiting inside for night to fall."

"During this period, we will share the spooky stories that we have personally experienced. If you have any scary stories, please leave a message in the video comment section."

After saying that, he turned off the camera again, turned around and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, in order to increase the sense of horror, I said that it was an event I experienced personally. When you tell the story, can you use the first person instead of the protagonist of the story?" "I have no problem, just make me look beautiful." Jia Jia took out a makeup mirror and touched up her lipstick.

Others also had no objections. Although Lin Jue felt it was a bit strange, he thought this operation was normal, just like many fictional movies would add "This story is adapted from true events" at the end of the film.

[Plot 2: In the afternoon, you and the other team members sit together to help Qiao Kang shoot a video, which begins with a strange story...]

As the prompt sounded, Qiao Kang turned on the camera again. His voice became hoarse and low, acting as the narrator of the video: "So, friends, who will start first?"

"Let me go first." Peace Dove spoke first. This person who rarely spoke before actually chose to be the first to tell a ghost story.

Everyone looked over with different expressions.

Peace Dove seemed to be organizing his words. After a few minutes of silence, he slowly spoke: "This is a true experience that happened to me."

Did he say this deliberately because of Qiao Kang's words? Or is the bizarre incident he's about to describe truly a real event?

Lin Jue thought it was the latter. Given this guy's personality, it was unlikely that he would listen to Qiao Kang.

"I used to be a patient in a hospital. It was probably about half a year ago. I stayed there for a long time."

Peace Dove introduced the background of the story, and Lin Jue looked at his gloved hands.

Could it be that this guy had been burned before and had scars on his body, so he was wrapped up so tightly?

"I was staying in a triple room. My bed was at the innermost room, and there was another person living on the outermost room. The bed in the middle was empty."

Peace Dove spoke slowly, word by word, "Not long after, a new patient came into the middle bed. I heard he was transferred from another hospital."

"That patient is very outgoing and we get along well. Let's call him Xiao Wang."

"Xiao Wang is recovering very well. The doctor in the inpatient department said he should be able to be discharged in less than three days."

"But in the last three days, Xiao Wang's condition has become increasingly severe. He has been saying that someone is following him, whether he's going to the bathroom or taking a walk outside. That person is always with him."

"Even in the ward where there were only three of us, he said there were other people there, either under the bed or on the ceiling."

“But I didn’t see any extra people coming out.”

Listening to the description of the peace dove, Lin Jue frowned slightly.

Something is not right.

It was said at the beginning that Xiao Wang's illness would soon be cured, but later it was said that Xiao Wang's illness was getting worse. This means that in the description of the Peace Dove, Xiao Wang was only suffering from one disease, and the following description was also based on this disease.

But why does this disease sound like a mental illness?

Who could be in the same ward with a mentally ill patient?

This peace dove is also a psychopath!
A mentally ill patient tells strange stories about what happened in a mental hospital. It seems weird no matter how you think about it.

However, judging from his current mental state, he should be almost recovered. Apart from being afraid of the camera and wrapping himself up like a dumpling, there is nothing abnormal.

"And then?" Everyone listened with great interest and urged Peace Dove to continue.

Peace Dove's facial muscles twitched slightly, as if recalling some horrible memory. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then continued, "On the last night of the third day, I also noticed it."

"There's one more person in the ward."
