10 What Happened Back Then (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Perhaps, it was because he was smoking, Wang Nianping's low and deep voice sounded slightly husky.

"There are a total of 35 graves in this graveyard, but there aren't any tombstones, and no one comes to visit or clean these graves. Do you know why?"

35 graves?

When Ning Huanxin heard Wang Nianping's words, the images from her dream flashed across her mind. She hesitantly shook her head and spoke, "Director Wang, why? Could it be, these people have no family or friends? Or could it be… no one knows who they are?"

Hearing Ning Huanxin's reply, Wang Nianping smiled slightly and sucked in a deep breath of his cigarette again. "It had been 30 years since this graveyard existed. No one cared about it, and no one dared to use this piece of land. Because those people who were buried here back then were all buried alive!"

Buried alive!

Ning Huanxin's eyes widened. Those scenes in her dream. Could it be, the scenes in her dream were of those people who were buried alive?

"No one knows what happened back then. But I've heard that years ago, there were two neighboring villages here. However, people from one village suddenly disappeared overnight, or maybe it can be said that they all died. Only this deserted graveyard is proof."

"Director Wang, how do you know that those people were buried alive back then?"

Since no one knew the truth of what happened back then, how would Wang Nianping know?

Hearing Ning Huanxin's words, Wang Nianping's hand trembled. Some burning ash from his cigarette fell on the back of his hand, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Ten years ago, when I first entered the industry, I filmed a movie here."

Speaking about the past, Wang Nianping's eyes were filled with reminiscence.

That film didn't finish shooting in the end, but it became the most profound memory of his life.

"Back then, I was just an assistant director. The director and scriptwriter then heard about the mystery of this village and the deserted graveyard, so we especially came to shoot here. Back then, the production team was rather poor, so we rented a courtyard house in the nearby town and stayed there. At first, everyone was very hardworking, and we really wanted to film that movie well, but in the end…"

Wang Nianping took another deep breath, inhaling the smoke. He didn't know why he wanted to tell all of this to an extra, but right now, he was only feeling really confused.

"Back then, when the production crew started shooting, everything went smoothly, and everyone was happy. However, no one expected that when the graveyard scene was to be shot, something would happen. An actor started to crazily dig a grave. This incident even shocked the people in the police station in that town, and even the forensic doctors came out. That old forensic doctor used to live here, and from him, I found out everyone in this deserted graveyard was buried alive. Even until their very last breath, they were filled with anger. Since then, this place has been covered with the resentment of those people, transforming that anger into evil."

Back then, Wang Nianping didn't honestly believe the words of the old forensic doctor, but some things happened after that…

That was the memory engraved in his heart and mind that he will never forget.

At this moment, Wang Nianping's heart shook slightly.

This time, he did what he wanted to on his own accord. Will the tragedy from ten years ago repeat itself?

"Director Wang, what happened after that?"

Wang Nianping stayed silent. However, Ning Huanxin's curiosity was aroused. She couldn't remember what famous horror film Director Wang filmed ten years ago!

Did that film have a terrible reputation? Or… It couldn't be shot till the end?

"Alright then, since Luo Yixin is not well, so we won't continue filming today. Everyone go back and rest today! We'll see to it again tomorrow."

Wang Nianping suddenly turned around after finishing smoking and addressed everyone in the production team.

Listening to the director, everyone naturally felt happy as they packed up their stuff and headed back.

Everything happening in these two days had been way too creepy. Who wouldn't be scared?

Ning Huanxin's emotions were complicated. She was the last one to leave. Before she left, she couldn't help but turn around and look at that deserted and cold graveyard.

What is the secret hidden in this place?

And what memory was hidden in Director Wang's heart?
