Abyss Express

As time went by, more and more young people crowded in front of [horror artist] stores. Most of them are good people watching the excitement, as well as scalpers who sell bills with old ones.

Three groups of people gathered outside the newsstand sheltered from the rain, surrounding the older punks, and the students took out half a month's meal ticket money to hand out cigarettes to make up for their laughter, hoping to get a piece of money from these social people. A novel and wonderful horror journey.

This made Xueming feel very uneasy——

——Because it seems that this is not a store for script killing, but a ticket sales point in the underground world.

The paper with a limited number of sessions in the hands of ticket dealers also has added value far beyond itself, as if it can change people's fate.

I only heard the scalper yelling sharply, wanting to drive away the poor students who are shy but bold and cautious.

"Go away! If you don't have any money, stand far away! You've been pooling together for a long time? Only 1,800? You want to wait until the sixth of next month with such a small amount of money? Come back next year!"

A small team from the third grade of the Third Experimental Middle School left here disappointed. There was brother No. 4 in a dormitory. The clothes on their bodies were probably ordinary families in the city. They couldn’t spend much money on the children, but they still Cutting down on food and clothing, he collected the money by cashing in his meal card.

The head of the dormitory who saw the team leader walked away, and the four brothers murmured in a low voice, with their heads bowed like a bereaved dog, as if they were dirty criminals running away with their heads in their arms.

There was a silent violence that overwhelmed the few. Just because they couldn't afford the tickets, or asked the ticket seller to enter the venue a few days in advance, this desperate request turned into contempt and insult in the eyes of other people present - as if it was a broken rule, a crime they deserved. Mortal.

Xue Ming didn't understand, he hurried out of the alley and caught up with the group.

The leader of the dormitory lowered his head and hurried on his way, afraid that his friends from the same school would recognize his true face. If he was remembered and talked about this matter, he might not have a good time in his school life for the next year or so.

When a dark shadow stood in front of him, the head of the dormitory immediately raised his head, as guilty as a child who had done something bad.

Xue Ming: "Why are you so scared?"

"Who are you?" The dormitory chief's heart turned from extreme fear to extreme shock. Seeing that the person in front of him was a short and weak man of similar height, he immediately became terrified. A good helper here, a good brother? "Lend me some money to spend? Okay?"

Xue Ming was very curious, but just asked: "I ask you, why are you so scared? Did you do something wrong?"

The four little friends in the first dormitory had knowing eyes and a tacit understanding in private, forming a four-corner encirclement posture, squatting beside Xue Ming.

The big brother in the lead began to bargain, you said yours and I said mine, it was completely a chicken and a duck, and he didn't want to pay attention to the sudden questioning of this stranger.

"Hey, I want to borrow some money from you, only one thousand and two hundred yuan, oh no, only one thousand yuan."

"Why are you in such a mess? After being rejected by the ticket dealer, you left in a hurry as if you were fleeing a disaster?"

"Don't answer questions with questions! Big Brother!" The head of the dormitory became extremely impatient, gnashing his teeth in the dark alley and shouting: "Give me the money! I'll pay it back to you next week! Interest is fine too!"

At this moment, Sima Yao and Axiang sisters followed, but did not intervene in this matter.

They were also wondering why Jiang Xueming was so obsessed with this matter——

——Internet celebrity attractions like [Horror Artist], if you go deeper into the interpretation, it is like the luxury goods that were classified into categories earlier.

If someone haggled in front of a Giorgio Armani or Hermès store and was chased away by the store staff, he would probably be ridiculed by others.

The trendy darlings on the Internet, fashion hits in the mouths of well-known critics or KOLs (opinion leaders) have this kind of magical power.

These little friends were stumped in front of the ticket sellers and returned to their social circles, like beggars begging in front of the store, unable to lift their heads for a long time.

A few years ago, this process was still very effective in the shoe speculation industry. It seemed that the price of shoes was so cheap that it was an insult to other shoe buyers and a betrayal of faith.

Xue Ming didn't pay, and he refused to leave. He just stood there, like an iron sculpture. They finally realized that the spiritual disaster that Sima Yao spoke of as "not a serious disaster" was not as simple as they thought.

After a long time, he took out a dozen banknotes from his backpack and held them in his palm.

When the head of the dormitory saw Qian, his eyes straightened.

"Give it to me! Yes! Yes! Yes! Give it to me!"

Jiang Xueming: "Answer my question. Why are you and your friends like rats crossing the street. Do you want to escape from this place?"

"Why not? Is there any explanation for this?" The head of the dormitory felt that the person in front of him was unreasonable. He pointed to the black crowd behind him: "I can't stand their eyes! I feel like a failure!"

Jiang Xueming: "What's the reason?"

"Don't ask, okay? Don't ask, I don't want to talk to you, do you know that you are annoying? If it weren't for this little money, I wouldn't want to talk to you at all!" His waist was unexpectedly soft, and he hunched over, never taking his eyes off the money.

Jiang Xueming opened the banknotes and counted them clearly, and at the same time talked about promises with the big boy.

"Tell me why, and I'll give you the money."

"There's no complicated reason! I'm not qualified to enter that store!" The dormitory chief said fiercely with red eyes: "I'm not qualified, I'm not qualified, do you know?"

Jiang Xueming: "And then?"

"I feel very anxious." The head of the dormitory said truthfully, scratching his heart and lungs: "My girlfriend came here last week with a stinky idiot from another class to find stimulation. When she came back, she immediately told me how good it was. ——Horror Artist is a novelty that every young person should experience once”

Jiang Xueming: "What is it?"

"How do I know?" The head of the dormitory is green, and there is an unknown fire in his heart: "How do I know before I go in? So many people want to go in and see. If I can't get in, I don't have the money, and she will Dumped me and when I think about it I'm such a piece of shit I feel ashamed!"

Jiang Xueming frowned: "You don't know what it is? You want to spend money on it?"

"Twenty-eight hundred yuan will let me in!" The head of the dormitory vowed, "Just today! No need to queue up! And don't make an appointment!"

Jiang Xueming: "Do you know what you can buy for 2,800 yuan?"

"I don't want you to teach me! Who are you? Why are you pointing at me?" The head of the dormitory roared, "There are many things that are more important than money! Don't you think independently? You revolve around this little money every day. Back and forth?"

Jiang Xueming: "Excellent, it makes sense, where did you learn this?"

"Don't talk nonsense! To borrow or not to borrow? I told you everything, you promised me! As long as I tell you the truth, you will lend me the money!" The big boy pouted, one leg unconsciously Stamping on the ground and swinging, he couldn't stop for a moment, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Jiang Xueming: "How to calculate the interest?"

The head of the dormitory immediately replied: "I will borrow one thousand from you! I will pay back one thousand and two next week!"

Jiang Xueming: "Give me your parents' mobile phone number, your home address, and your class."

"Why?!" The head of the dormitory seemed to be caught and hurt his feet, and he didn't mean to pay back the money at all: "Just now you kept saying that as long as I answered your question, you would lend me the money unconditionally, why are you so busy now? Overweight, the conditions are more outrageous than the other?"

Jiang Xueming turned his head and glanced at the other students.

The three brothers surrounded him, they were in the position to rob, but they didn't have the guts to rob. They were probably watching and trying to find some reason to do it through verbal negotiations.

"You help him raise money, just thinking about sending him to the online celebrity script killing shop? Are you just watching outside?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the head of the dormitory scolded: "As long as I go in once, I will be a member inside, and I can bring out a ticket every month. Everyone of these brothers has a share!"

Jiang Xueming took off his gloves, and handed out the money with his left hand——

- Immediately after that, like whack-a-mole, the moment the leader stretched out his hand, a big dick came over one by one, beating the four brothers unconscious, their brains buzzing and their cheeks swollen.

The moment the fragrant dream took effect, he felt an inexplicable hostility. It seemed that the spirit entrenched in this old building was very dissatisfied with the actions of this uninvited guest.

Xue Ming collected the money and asked Sima Yao to deal with these young men.

"You send them back."

Sima Yao: "Why?"

Jiang Xueming: "It just happens to be a five-black game? Don't you happen to be short of teammates when you play King of Glory?"

"Okay." Sima Yao dragged the two little guys out of the alley.

Axiang and Qianqian had something to say in private.

Sister Qianqian is upright, she can't turn her head around, she just discusses with her younger sister.

"How can this guy lie to children? He also likes to beat people"

Ah Xiang was full of nympho: "He looks so handsome when he bullies children."

It was three o'clock in the morning.

According to the ticket number, Jiang Xueming squeezed into the crowd again——

——Ah Xiang looked nervous, protecting her shoulders and short skirt, for fear of being eaten tofu.

But she thought too much, people are like a herd of sheep encountering a beast, Xue Ming walked forward, they naturally gave way.

That's Jiang Xueming's spiritual pressure at work. Ever since he became a nymph, he hasn't done this for a long, long time. The fragrant dream floats beside him, but a little soul's majesty shines faintly from the skin, and the surrounding area becomes dead silent, as if The temperature dropped several degrees.

When Xueming came to the store, the ancient facade opened automatically. The door lock seemed to have a complicated and delicate mechanism. With the sound of clicking, the porch appeared in sight, but it was quite different from the deserted mansion Sima Yao described.

Its decoration is very luxurious, like a rich family in the last century when the Qing Dynasty still existed. Many foreign gadgets are displayed on the counter and window sill beside the entrance.

Two shrines stand next to the shoe cabinet, and the red lamp oil candles complement the golden censer offerings. The offerings are Guan Erye, the God of Wealth and Bigan, the God of Wealth.

Axiang followed behind Xueming, holding the hand of Sister Qianqian, and staring at the phone, for fear of starving the audience in the live broadcast room.

Then there are two distinguished guests, one fat and one thin, and finally a young lady in the workplace who is about 25 or 26 years old. It seems that she has just left work after 996 and is rushing to the scene according to the appointment time.

A total of six people walked along the porch and entered the main room. The decoration style also changed from Chinese style to Western style. The marble statue in front of the counter is the statue of David, the red carpet is spotless, and the waiting chairs along the way are very luxurious with gold lacquer and silk embroidery.

The lights turned on, and there was a dark shadow squatting at the front desk, it seemed that the clerk was cleaning up the sundries at the bottom of the cabinet.

"Wait! Wait a moment! I'll be here soon! Please ring the summons bell! ~ Your good partner, Lord Sigma, will come to you immediately!"

When hearing this call, everyone reacted differently.

Ah Xiang was full of anticipation, lying in front of the counter, looking straight inside, trying to see the face of the clerk, but could only see two fluttering swallowtails and a round buttock under the tailcoat from the dark corner. .

The heavy and powerful yet comical bass seemed to seduce her, with a hint of charm and frivolity.

Sister Qianqian curled her lips, thinking that it was meaningless to play tricks.

The next three passers-by, Fat and Thin Toutuo, knew each other, they were passing cigarettes and lighting, looking at the decoration of the house, they fiddled with the photo frames in the aisle from time to time, and commented on the figures of the three girls in the front and back. Whispering.

Only the exclamation mark on Jiang Xueming's head lit up——

——If [Phoenix] is there, there will be a bright red signal above his head.

Regarding the sentence "Please ring the summoning bell", in the underground world, it is a rule handed down by BOSS from ancient times, and it is an eternal ritual.

The five words Crazy Butterfly Sacred Religion emerged from the bottom of Xue Ming's heart, and in just a split second, he entered the combat state.

He lightly rang the summons bell, and suddenly felt a little regretful, because among the magazines in his pocket, there were only thirty rounds of life-restarting ammunition.

"Oh! Alright! Alright, alright! It's time to catch this thing!"

A ferocious monster suddenly popped out from under the counter, to be precise——

——It was a little pink rabbit with a body length of only twenty centimeters, with a grinning face and a fierce face.

With sharp teeth and claws, it scratched the countertop and gnawed shocking pits on the wooden furniture, and then a pair of white gloves caught it!

Lord Sigma appeared on the stage, his skin seemed to have been roasted by the fire of hell. If Mr. Victor was present, he might have mistaken this man for the twin brother of [Hell Highway].

Lord Sigma caught the little rabbit and talked to the tourists seriously.

"Be careful! Guests! Be careful! It has a bad reputation—if Lulu catches you and bites you, you may lose one or two fingers, or you will bleed to death on the spot."

Immediately afterwards, the announcer changed into a relaxed and freehand expression, and locked the whistling pink rabbit in his hand into the cage door. Throw it in the locker on the counter.

"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen! I finally have my hands free so I can take my hat off!"

Sigma said so, and immediately took off her top hat, revealing her jet-black curly hair.

"Six more young and fresh souls come here tonight to experience a baptism of the soul - Horror artist丨John Bogle will show his works one by one! Waiting"

In the middle of speaking, Sigma stopped talking, he just froze and looked at the lady in the back row.

"Ma'am, are you afraid?"

The eldest girl who came in last was really frightened by the mad rabbit. The claw marks on the counter and the ear-piercing screams frightened her out of her wits on the spot. It can be seen that this girl is very timid and came alone.

Before the sister could reply, Lord Sigma raised and pulled her hands.

The fluffy tuxedo was torn in two, and replaced with the robes of the front desk of the theater drum book.

The appearance of the red-skinned devil has also changed from a waiter in charge of guest service at the western-style front desk to an approachable and beaming red-faced uncle.

"Don't panic, all this is fake, it's a script! Just look at this guy!"

Lord Sigma lifted the iron cage, and saw the pink monster retracting its fangs, staring at everyone with wide watery eyes.

The beauties in the office at the back of the line are about to turn cute——

"—hahahahahaha!"

A sharp and piercing laughter suddenly sounded, and within half a second, Lord Sigma returned to his original state. The monster in the iron cage took off its cute disguise and gnawed wildly at the iron bars of the iron gate, spattering the lady's face with saliva. superior.

Lord Sigma grinned grinningly, clutching his stomach and writhing all over the floor.

The moment the pink rabbit got out of the cage, it was held tightly by the devil again, finally ending the prank.

Ah Xiang couldn't close her mouth when she saw such a miracle of disguise and animal taming.

"Wow."

Before she finished sighing, Lord Sigma lightly stopped the live broadcast.

"Little beauty, filming is not allowed here, I'm very sorry!~"

At the same time, this elegant and wild waiter threw a hot towel and landed on the face of the last lady. The eldest lady seemed to be dazed, the rodent saliva on her face slowly slipped to her chin, and she actually tasted it between her lips and teeth. To the sweetness of honey and whipped cream.

It's like what the monster spits out is not dirt, but sweet candy.

"Everyone! Before the story begins!" Sigma took out the registration booklet: "I need to know your names, and you must know each other."

"except you--"

Sigma pointed at Jiang Xueming, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"—Only you! No need to know each other again!"

Jiang Xueming regained his energy and put his hand on the gun.

Sigma was serious, his lips trembling and he said in horror: "Ye Bei!"

Xue Ming didn't say anything, it was embarrassing to say anything at this time.

After a long, long time, when Sigma got Xueming's ID card, he finally apologized haha.

"Sorry, I made a mistake. The boss asked me to do something like this. I thought you were a regular customer."
