My Cell Prison

Chapter 10: Nightmare



Chapter 10: Nightmare

Without knowing the plot of the movie at all.

The crowd could only follow the grandmother and get as much information as possible through Han Dong, the translator.

From the communication process, they learned that Granny Wang was mainly engaged in 'fortune telling' and 'returning people', and this latter term was the first time Han Dong had heard of it.

According to Granny Wang, it was actually a kind of exorcism.

The method is to find a double (usually a paper man) and transfer the illnesses and pains from one's body to the body of the double in order to be cured.

The process is complex and lengthy, usually taking three hours or more.

Halfway through the interview, Granny Wang's old companion - Uncle Liu - suddenly steps forward. He interrupted the interview, saying that someone was possessed in 'Wangzi Gang' and needed to be released.

She was reluctant to do so, as it was a very distant and remote place, at least five hours by car.

But as soon as she heard her partner say that the 'price' had been agreed upon, she calculated the time and immediately prepared to leave, and should be able to arrive before evening.

In Han Dong's opinion, the so-called 'Wangzi Gang' is where this incident took place.

Using the time the granny and her husband had spent packing the necessary luggage, the group used the five hundred yuan issued by the system to purchase a series of necessities in the area.

For example, flashlights, compressed biscuits, mineral water and so on, in case of emergencies.

Bald Derion even bought a wood chopping cleaver to defend himself.

In reality, there was no need to be equipped with such a common sharp weapon, malevolent spirit-like incidents were not something that could be solved by a knife, and carrying such a thing would rather affect the operation.

Everything was ready.

Uncle Liu considered the problem of following the group, and got a more spacious van, the back row of which could just seat six people.

The next thing to do was to wait for the van to reach its destination.

The five-hour drive could have been a good time to sleep in the van...but because of worry, anxiety and a deep-seated fear of death, most people had trouble sleeping and stared out the window at the idyllic scenery.

Not so for Han Dong.

As a result of a scientific experiment that required him to reverse his days and nights, he was able to automatically adjust his biological clock to a certain extent, and also learned a rapid sleep method from the Internet.

Learning the sleep techniques of a World War II pilot, Han Dong relaxed his body completely and fell asleep quickly by the window.

If he can get five hours of sleep before an event, he will be able to concentrate on analyzing and dealing with any strange occurrences at night.

This was the first time Han Dong had fallen asleep in over seven years since his rebirth.

When he was fully asleep, Han Dong was confronted with a strange dream.

.......

Buzz!

In a dream.

Han Dong returned to the familiar Florence University.

He walked into the lecture hall with the teacher's book in his hand.

Unlike before, not a single student skipped the boring and tedious cell biology course, and the large lecture hall was full.

What was even stranger was that all the students were wearing hooded jackets.

The students were all wearing hooded jackets and hats with their heads buried low, so they could not see their faces.

As he approached the podium, Han Dong took out his flash drive and plugged it into the port of the multimedia device.

At that moment, a strange scene occurred.

The USB flash drive's port turned into a slippery tentacle and was inserted into the 'fleshy' multimedia device.

The cell biology textbook that should have been displayed on the projection screen changed into an odd logo that Han Dong couldn't understand.

At the same time, the students in the all-step classroom raised their heads in unison and lifted their hoods to reveal a faceless face with no facial features.

"Faceless..."

Buzz!

With a ringing in his ears, Han Dong woke up abruptly.

Nightmare.

Han Dong woke up just as the vehicle arrived in front of the abandoned farmhouse in 'Wangzi Gang', where the incident occurred.

In front of the van stood an old and nearly abandoned long bungalow.

The two-story bungalow was once used as an 'inn', dividing the second floor into eight separate guest rooms, with the connecting staircase in the center.

A large red lantern, hanging neatly in the aisle on the second floor, was slightly spooky in the night.

This bungalow was being inhabited by the client and the Sinister.

As everyone stared at the dilapidated building through the van.

Han Dong, who had just woken up from a nightmare, was a bit uncomfortable and had his hands in his waistband, and his face was unusual... as if he was deliberately hiding something.

The event area has been reached, the countdown has begun, and the relevant requirements are as follows.

1. All participants are allowed to move within 500 meters of the "Abandoned Villa" and its surrounding area.

2. No living in groups, please choose your own room to sleep in.

If two people are in the same room between 23:00 and 06:00, you will be warned the first time, and will be erased the second time.

3. You are free to communicate and interact with the characters during the event without any restrictions.

4. After the countdown of seventy-two hours, the survivors will be teleported away.

As everyone stepped down from the van, a young man of about 30 years old with an honest looking face stepped forward to greet granny Wang, while asking, "Master, these are?"

"The international students who are making the documentary, they'll be recording this whole 'return process'...do you mind?"

"I don't mind as long as it doesn't interfere with the master's practice, it's just that... dinner might not be prepared enough."

Han Dong even went forward and said politely, "It's okay, we have our own food. Just let Granny Wang and Uncle Liu dine, don't mind us."

After some excuses and negotiations.

We all entered the first floor hall of the bungalow smoothly, saw the object of this exorcism.

It was different from what you might expect to see tied to a big bed or locked in a room, screaming, hurting themselves or eating insects.

The possessed was a gentle-looking, long-haired rural woman with a normal appearance who even did the washing and cooking of the dishes.

Immediately after dinner, we get down to business.

The man who lives here introduced himself and explained about the 'Sinister', and learns that the man and the possessed woman are sister and brother.

The little brother's name is Daqing, and the Sinister woman's name is Chen Li.

In the past, they used to run a farmhouse here, and the business was pretty good... but it was abandoned a few years ago due to the relocation of the tourist area.

As for his sister Chen Li's case is rather special, she behaves all normal during the day and will only get sick at night.

From what Daqing said, they had seen a doctor in the city...the diagnosis was schizophrenia, but Chen Li was adamant that she wasn't schizophrenic, but that something was 'lodged' in her body.

That was the general situation.

Daqing hoped that Granny Wang would be able to transfer what was lodged in her sister's body to the paper man by 'returning' it to her.

"It can't be done now, the night is too dark, and the things that are lodged in your sister's body may not be able to be drawn out... Also, it's rather tiring to come here temporarily.

Returning a person is a very draining ritual, you can only wait until tomorrow to do it."

This statement from the granny Wang meant that everyone would be staying here for the night.

Daqing looked enthusiastic: "Okay... I'll take you guys to a room on the second floor to rest. Our living conditions here aren't too good, so I hope you can be accommodating."

The six people who followed the group, Granny Wang and her husband, and the Sinister Woman, Chen Li.

It happened to be the second floor of the bungalow full of bungalows with red lanterns hanging.
