Chapter 743: If You Bloom
After violently opening the compartment door, Chen Ge saw Qu Changlin who was paralyzed on the ground, and he immediately squatted down: "Are you okay?"
Seeing someone coming in, Qu Changlin's first reaction was not to ask for help, but to crawl back desperately. He was terrified and covered his head with his hands, as if the ghost outside the door would not exist as long as he could not see it.
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Do you need me to call the emergency?"
There was a trace of concern in Chen Ge's voice. In Qu Changlin's impression, the ghost should not ask such a question.
There was a gap between the fingers that blocked the face, and Qu Changlin saw Chen Ge through the gap.
It was an ordinary and simple face, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
How could such a person be a bad person?
Qu Changlin waved his hands. He was about to ask Chen Ge for help when he suddenly remembered something. After he was frightened out by the person hanging upside down in the dark room, someone kept knocking on the door outside the fourth compartment. There is a second ghost!
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Qu Changlin tried his best to calm himself down, but his voice was still trembling: "Did you hear a strange knock on the door just now? He has a fixed rhythm, just like our usual knocks. The sound is completely different!"
"Knocking on the door?" Chen Ge frowned, and then gradually relaxed: "I see, this is the sound you heard, right?"
Chen Ge took a step back, stretched out his hand to grab the dummy hanging in the air, and shook it slightly, the puppet's head hit the door panel once and for all.
"When I came in, I happened to see the dummy swaying back and forth, and its head hit the door. That's the sound you heard just now."
After listening to Chen Ge's words, Qu Changlin was thoughtful. The sound from the door panel was indeed made by the puppet's impact, but what made him a little confused now was that Chen Ge's voice made him feel very familiar. Just now he When threatened by a ghost, the other party seems to be speaking in this tone!
"Let's come out first, this toilet smells so bad." Chen Ge grabbed Qu Changlin's arm, trying to help him up.
"Don't come over!" He slammed Chen Ge's hand away, and sat in the middle of the darkroom and private room.
"No, what are you afraid of? Is this one of the plots of your haunted house? Then how should I cooperate with you?" In order not to create pressure on Qu Changlin, Chen Ge stepped aside and left the exit for him.
"Acting?" Qu Changlin lay on the ground for nearly a minute before calming down again. Seeing that Chen Ge really didn't intend to hurt himself, he slowly let go of his guard: "Are you a tourist?"
"What do you think? Could it be that I'm the ghost in the haunted house and you are the tourist?" Chen Ge's tone was rather helpless. He looked at Qu Changlin as if he was admiring performance art.
Qu Changlin put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. He wanted to try a second time, but then he thought, would it be a bit demeaning to try this in front of tourists?
In order to protect the dignity of his staff in the haunted house, Qu Changlin coughed dryly, and said in an unnatural tone: "Yes, you are very lucky to have discovered the hidden plot in this scene! I am the key person in the toilet, and now I have been wronged." Injured, you need to help me to the dean's office."
"Are you the key person in the toilet? I read the diary at the haunted house's new life ceremony, and the words written on the toilet partition. Shouldn't the protagonist of this scene be called Xiao Lin?" Chen Ge wasn't trying to tear things apart, He is just curious about everything.
"Hehe, actually, I am Xiao Lin." Qu Changlin said bravely.
"But the clapboard says that Xiao Lin is just a child. You look like you're going to be in your third year, right? Your hair is so thin."
"You..." Qu Changlin was frightened half to death just now, and he hasn't slowed down the force yet, and he is stupid and doesn't like to talk. At this time, he was speechless when asked by Chen Ge, and his head was full of sweat .
"Stop talking, is the dean's office? I'll take you there." Chen Ge grabbed Qu Changlin's arm: "Can you stand up?"
Qu Changlin supported the baffle, his legs were a little numb,
It looks like just learning to walk.
"You're too into the show, aren't you?" Chen Ge made a move that surprised Qu Changlin without saying a word, and he carried Qu Changlin on his back: "You show me the way."
"Okay..." Qu Changlin felt a little uncomfortable. Just a few minutes ago, he had received a text message from his boss, planning to scare the tourist in front of him, but only a few minutes later, he was rescued by the tourist.
The phone in his pocket vibrated several times, Qu Changlin secretly took out the phone, the call between him and his boss had already been hung up, and there were several messages from his boss on it.
"What are you doing! Brother! I want you to scare him, not to influence him!"
"What about the modified doll you usually boast about? Didn't you say that you have arranged countless traps in the toilet, even if a hard-hearted person comes in, he will be scared to pee?"
"Why are you still carried by him???"
Looking at the messages on the phone, Qu Changlin felt even more bitter. He doesn't like to talk and is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. At this time, he doesn't know how to answer his boss.
The boss kept sending new messages, but Qu Changlin didn't look at them again. He was helpless, wronged, and worried. He felt like a useless person who couldn't do anything well, and buried his head even lower.
"Your haunted house is really scary. When I entered the toilet just now, I was frightened to death by the puppet hanging upside down in the air, especially the eyes of the puppet, which are just like the real ones. The master who made the puppet is really amazing. It's gone." Chen Ge said casually, as if he was idle and bored.
"You think that puppet is scary?" Qu Changlin slowly raised his lowered head.
"I've played in so many haunted houses, and this is the first time I've been scared by a dummy. The master who made the puppet is really a genius. He must have studied this area. The toilet scene is also very well designed. Tourists know that There is a problem with the fourth compartment, when you open the compartment, you will be attracted by the mirror, just when the tourists focus on the mirror, the puppet suddenly falls from the ceiling and hits east and west, this trick is beautiful." Chen Ge said from inner appreciation.
Hearing Chen Ge's words, Qu Changlin's eyes brightened a little: "It's okay, actually, there are seven traps in the toilet. This time, something happened, and one trap was triggered."
"Not only is it okay, this scene is considered terrifying among all the haunted house scenes I have played, but the background plot makes me a little uncomfortable." Chen Ge seemed to be talking with a friend, and the tone of voice was very natural .
"Plot? I think it's okay..."
"Combining the diary and the words on the partition, I roughly figured out the background of the strange toilet talk. Xiaolin is a child with a weak sense of existence. No one makes friends with him, so he likes to use pranks to attract others' attention. Finally The whole class played a prank on him."
"Is there a problem with this plot?"
"It's not that there is no problem, I just think that Xiao Lin's tragedy can be avoided." Chen Ge seemed to be discussing Xiao Lin's task with Qu Changlin, but he was actually telling Qu Changlin some words in his heart: "One person Deliberately pursuing gregariousness will only make your life very tiring. It is also a very sad thing to give up your hobbies and habits in order to cater to others."
Qu Changlin nodded slightly, but did not respond.
Chen Ge didn't care at all, and continued: "I'm sorry, I'm going too far. In fact, I saw the shadow of me from Xiaolin. I used to be like him. I was afraid of loneliness and wanted to be with everyone. Build a good relationship. Until I confessed to the girl I like, she politely rejected me."
Qu Changlin felt a little familiar when he heard Chen Ge's experience, and he unknowingly resonated in his heart: "It must be very hard to be rejected."
"Of course, I was in pain for a long time. During that time, I kept encouraging myself, wanted to be strong, and wanted to come out, but only after I have really experienced this will I understand how difficult it is to get out!"
Chen Ge's words reached Qu Changlin's heart, and he nodded heavily.
"Emotions are hard to explain. Until one day I overheard a conversation between friends. The girl I loved so much hated me for trying to cater to others. At that moment, I realized that I should find myself again. "Chen Ge's voice has a hint of vicissitudes that do not match his age: "I changed to a new company, where I started a new life, I no longer cater to others, I live hard, work hard, and strive to be the best My own self. Now I have a good career and love, and I am my own boss, and I don’t need to care about whether I fit in or not.”
Qu Changlin was a little envious just hearing Chen Ge say that, and he said sincerely: "You are so amazing."
"It's not that I'm good. As long as they are willing to change, everyone can do it, including Xiao Lin in the story." Chen Ge specially emphasized the word change: "Everyone is the protagonist of their own world. What we have to do, It’s about spending time and energy on things that make you stronger.”
His eyes became brighter, and Chen Ge's words moved Qu Changlin deeply: "Brother, I actually had a similar experience to yours. I also liked a girl, but now I'm a little confused..."
"Don't be confused, just memorize one sentence." Chen Ge walked past the door of Xiaodie's sundries warehouse without raising his head: "Be the best version of yourself, if you bloom, the butterflies will come."
