Chapter 36: Hell is other people

Sun Jiamin still remembered everything before and after Ziyi's disappearance. In the entertainment circle, interpersonal relationship is really too realistic, worship high and step on low, who fire and who to play, because of the profit and together because of the profit and divided, between people and people more is the interests of the calculations, the real friendship is actually very luxury. To say that the two women's friendship does not have even the slightest component of interest, it is impossible. But at least, under the premise that there was no conflict of resources between the two sides, their friendship was still very sincere. However, when Zi Yi was suspected of the Li Han Yi incident, Sun Jiamin also began some avoidance behavior, but Zi Yi still contacted her later, treating her as the only person she could confide in. At that time, she was also surprised when Ziyi called to contact her. "Ziyi, are you okay now?" "Fine, not dead yet." "Purple, have you contacted your parents, and your boyfriend?" "Mom and dad that I contacted the first time, said that I have to stay out of town for a period of time. As for him …… and I mentioned breaking up." Purple clothes and her boyfriend has been an underground secret romance, only Sun Jia Min know each other's identity, that man can only be counted as half of the circle. His name is Jing Tianlong, a top network writer, the pen name is called North Mountain Jinglong, known as one of the Singularity Network psychic trio. Four years ago, Nefei purchased the rights to Kitayama Jinglong's horror novel "Dead Bugs" and adapted it into a 10-episode web series, and Ziyi starred as the female lead at that time, which was the most acclaimed role since Ziyi's debut, and because of this and Kitayama Jinglong, who was acting as one of the scriptwriters in the crew at that time, frequently came into contact with each other, created sparks, and started an underground romance. And now, can really should be the so-called tree toppled monkeys scattered from a sinking ship, big trouble each fly. It is worth mentioning that the second season of Dead Bugs was launched on the entire network last month, and the female lead has naturally changed. "I'm in K City now." This was what Zi Yi said to Sun Jiamin at the time, "Jiamin, I am, at the moment, living inside an apartment ……" At that time, Sun Jiamin was a bit surprised, Zi Yi actually went to rent an apartment to live in? "An apartment, like hell ……" The Internet had previously exposed that Ziyi was likely suffering from depression. However, in China, where the word "depression" is not well understood, many people completely equate depression with "bad mood", and over the years, some people on the Internet disguise depression to whitewash themselves, resulting in this disease being stigmatized. This made Sun Jiamin very worried and asked, "Ziyi, are you okay? The apartment you rented, did someone recognize you? Giving you a hard time?" "Karmen. Dev how is it?" "It …… it's fine ……" "Thank you, please take extra care of it for me, it loves beef jerky." "Purple, are you okay? Where exactly do you live? I'm free, why don't I come and check on you?" "Take care of Dev, thank you, Carmine." After that, the phone hung up. Later, the few times she called herself before losing contact with herself, she never mentioned that so-called "hellish apartment" again. This made Sun Jiamin think of many possibilities. In those days, Ziyi's circle of friends was only visible to her parents and Sun Jiamin. And strangely enough, many of the photos she took were of dark and eerie places, many of which even looked like haunted houses. And whenever she took the initiative to call Ziyi, she rarely answered. However, it was worth mentioning that during this period of time, when Ziyi contacted herself, she wasn't always emotionally depressed. She remembered that there were so many times when she called herself in a significantly better mood. "Jiamin, I might be able to make a comeback next year." At that time, when Sun Jiamin heard this, she was incredulous. A comeback? Although it was said that netizens had poor memories, it had only been how long since Li Han Yi's death, and the real culprit was still never found out. At this time, if she made a comeback, who would dare to use her? Even Sun Jiamin herself, her greatest fear was when someone interviewed her and asked about Ziyi! "Ziyi, what good things have happened to you? A company is willing to sign you to help you make a comeback?" "It's not like that. You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. I can only say that it's a blessing in disguise." At that time, Ziyi was silent for about nearly ten seconds. Just when Sun Jiamin thought if her cell phone was out of signal, she uttered another sentence. "Jiamin, I'm afraid that you don't even recognize me anymore the way I am now. I've become such that I don't even recognize myself. However, I don't regret it. Because I have realized one thing." "Ziyi are you …… okay?" "Karmen, do you know what the most terrifying thing in this world is?" "Well, I don't know, what is it?" "Other people." "Huh? I, I don't understand ……" "'Hell is other people', a line from existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre's play The Interval. The real hell does not require torture or evil spirits; it is the 'others' other than oneself that are truly terrifying." "Then …… that, Purple, can you speak human language? Why can't I understand a single word?" "I'll contact you again, Carmine." I remembered that after she contacted herself for the last time, the last update of her friend circle was posting some strange photos. On that photo, it looked like it was inside a very eerie and dark wax museum. As a matter of fact, if there wasn't a special note from her above the friend circle, she couldn't even tell that there were wax statues instead of real people inside the photos. And while those wax statues were made lifelike, their faces and expressions were quite creepy and scary. Ziyi's caption in her circle of friends reads, "Can I make it to the end of my horror wax museum adventure? Cheer for me. I must live no matter what, even if I sell my soul to the devil." Looking at this text, it really worried Sun Jiamin. But at the time, she thought that it might be a game similar to a haunted house escape room or something like that. Being raped by the entire internet, blocked by her agency, and even abandoned by her hot boyfriend, did it really make Ziyi suffer to this extent? And after that friend circle, she never contacted herself again. 甚至打电话过去，始终是“您拨打的号码不在服务区”。 At this moment, Sun Jiamin heard the words coming from the other end of the phone, what is "like a hell of an apartment", let her think of the mother Ziyi. But, she thought, it would just happen to be the same metaphor. "What does a hell-like apartment mean?" Sun Jiamin immediately pursued, "Can you tell me specifically?" "Even if I say it, it doesn't make much sense. The least I can tell you is that the apartment is not on this island. You guys continue to find a way to follow the route I told you and collect the bodies of the occupants. I promise, I will help you guys escape from this island." Then the phone hung up. This number could only contact them unilaterally, and when they called back, they couldn't get through at all. There was basically no difference between saying that and not saying it at all! "The apartment that looks like hell ……" Mu Aisan thought for half a day, but still couldn't figure out what it meant: "What is the connection between that so-called apartment and the infectious diseases and weird things that happened on this island? " "I can't figure it out either." After pondering for half a day, Sun Jiamin said, "It's completely incomprehensible." The only information that could be obtained was that this hellish apartment was not on Blackwater Island. Then, why did the apartment dweller come to Blackwater Island? "On the hospital's note paper, it said something about a certain man's arrival causing a curse, that man, is that the so-called apartment dweller?" Sun Jiamin raised this hypothesis. Mu Aisan pondered as she walked and said, "But it's obvious that there's more than one apartment dweller. And is the person who called us, and this so-called apartment dweller, hostile, or are they on the same side? What he obviously cares about the most, is the information about the occupant's body." After pondering for a moment, she added, "Perhaps, by contacting us again next, we can use this intel to get him to tell us more about the apartment." "Hmm? It's a way!" "Even, it could be a way to use this to get him to let us escape from Blackwater Island first, and we can then inform the intelligence in detail." "That's also right, we can't keep being manipulated." The long exhaustion and hunger made Mu Aisan's thinking sluggish a lot, now rethinking, using this information that the other party wants to know, it's possible to negotiate ah, why be so honest and tell the other party everything? Just do it!
