Time passed slowly in the oppressive atmosphere.

As the release date of the movie approached, Ye Xiang took a shower in his room to refresh himself. At the same time, he kept the remaining three talismans close to him.

He looked at himself in the mirror, took two deep breaths, and said to himself, "I won't die, I definitely won't die! I absolutely cannot die!"

Finally, he clenched his fists and calmed down completely.

When he arrived at the screening hall, many people were already waiting there. Fang Leng, Bai Yushuo, Mo Qiushi, and Wen Yufan were all there.

Yu Chen, Su Han, and Hou Tianbai had also arrived early.

As Ye Xiang walked over, Fang Leng was still advising Yu Chen about something. Although Yu Chen only showed him a severed finger, Ye Xiang suspected that he had hidden means that he hadn't told him about. However, Ye Xiang knew that just like Fang Leng, Yu Chen would not easily abandon his companions. Yu Chen had also said that when the time came, he would let Ye Xiang... follow him!

At this moment, Ye Xiang looked at Wen Yufan in front of him. This might be a farewell between life and death. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they had experienced life and death together. Moreover, Ye Xiang had a strong affection for Wen Yufan. Her words just now had a strong impact on him.

He walked towards Wen Yufan and when he stood in front of her, he said, "I..."

However, for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Wen Yufan looked at him but didn't say anything.

"Forget it." Ye Xiang finally said, "I will definitely come back alive! So, this is not a farewell! Let's talk when I come back!"

Wen Yufan looked at him and nodded slightly.

Then, Ye Xiang followed Yu Chen and the others into the cinema.

"Sit wherever you want." Yu Chen said to Ye Xiang, "It doesn't matter where you sit. You can sit together or separately. Are you nervous, Ye Xiang?"

"I'm fine." Ye Xiang's face was calm at this moment. He knew that the more nervous he was, the more likely he would make mistakes. At this time, he must remain calm!

Then, he chose to sit with Yu Chen in two seats in the 16th row. Su Han and Hou Tianbai sat separately in two different positions.

Then, the door of the screening hall was closed. The dim lights went out completely about ten seconds before the movie started.

The whole screening hall plunged into darkness.

And the movie screen finally lit up!

After the movie started, on the dark screen, four blood-red giant characters slowly appeared.

"The Imprisoned Room"!

Then, the screen... turned into a 3D movie. And it began to occupy everyone's sight. The four blood-red characters stood out from the screen, feeling closer and closer...

Then, that blood-red color occupied Ye Xiang's entire field of vision.

In the next moment...

He woke up.

This place...

Was an internet cafe.

However, everything around him was frozen and still. Many people were surfing the internet, and it seemed to be summer as most people were wearing short sleeves. Ye Xiang's clothes had also changed to short sleeves. Of course, the soul-binding talisman was still securely placed on him.

Not long after, the surroundings became noisy.

And on the computer screen in front of Ye Xiang, there was a website looking for job opportunities.

The first scene of the script began to fill Ye Xiang's mind. However, he had very few lines. He... was still just a supporting role. The total amount of redemption tickets was even less than last time, only 150 redemption tickets!

But he quickly immersed himself in his role. The character he played was named Zhang Hua, a very ordinary name. He was an unemployed wanderer who couldn't find a job, and now he was looking for temporary work online. Due to his education, it was difficult for him to find a formal job, so he could only try to find temporary work.

Then, following the instructions of the script, he clicked on one of the job postings.

"Hiring temporary caregiver

Location: XX Road, Binhai District, Linhai City

Time: July 1st to July 3rd, 2012

Job description: Responsible for taking care of a mentally ill person

Salary: 100,000 yuan per day."

"What? Did they add two extra zeros by mistake?" Ye Xiang exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "How can it be so high?"

After saying this line... his role was completely over. After all, his storyline was just an interlude, and the main plot focused on the protagonist Yu Chen.

And what he had to do next was just to accept this job. Moreover, this was the red line part, and he couldn't violate it even if he paid redemption tickets. Of course, this was also within his expectations.

Recalling Yu Chen's words, he completely immersed himself in the role...

Completely immersed!

Then, Ye Xiang began to speak the lines he had woven himself. Since it was a blank period in the plot, as long as his actions could connect with the following scenes, no redemption tickets would be deducted.

"How can the salary for a temporary job be so high for taking care of a mentally ill person? Is there something fishy about it?"

Ye Xiang continued reading.

"Requirements: No gender restrictions, mainly aged between 18 and 30, limited to 4-7 people.

Contact number: XXXXXXXXXX"

Ye Xiang took out his phone, took a photo of the webpage, and quickly closed it.

Then, he left the internet cafe.He also knew where he lived, and some basic information was detailed in the script. After all, this was not like the last time in the remote mountains, so there was less character information given.

After leaving the internet cafe, he looked around and saw tall buildings everywhere, with vehicles flowing on the road and countless pedestrians passing by.

This place...

Turned out to be a world of horror movies!

"Horror Bus" didn't leave a deep impression because it was in the deep mountains. But here, no matter how you looked at it, it was a real world. The people around, they were all living beings. And they all lived in this movie!

Ye Xiang knew that they couldn't be actors. Was this a ready-made world or a huge studio? This reminded Ye Xiang of the classic movie "The Truman Show".

However, Ye Xiang knew that his purpose in this world was just to shoot a horror movie. He didn't need to consider anything else.

Regardless, after living in the closed hell movie theater for so many days, returning to the familiar city scenery felt like returning to reality.

Ye Xiang lifted his footsteps and walked into the bustling crowd, heading towards Zhang Hua's residence according to the information given in the script.

Zhang Hua currently lived with his parents. He was already 24 years old, with a low education level and no work experience. His parents also didn't have any relatives who could help, so he was still unemployed at home. And this magical job, once successful, would earn him a high salary of 300,000! For someone who didn't have any profession yet, it was indeed a great temptation.

We are "pawread.com", find us on google.

"Hmm, should I take this job..."

Ye Xiang showed a hesitant expression and continued to mutter to himself, "Although it seems unusual, but... maybe it's a rich person who doesn't care about money... but wait, so much money, hiring a caregiver would be more than enough, why would they recruit so many people? Can they really pay such high salaries?"

Unconsciously, he had already arrived at the door of his home.

It was an old apartment building, and his home was in Room 302.

At this moment, his parents were not at home. He took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.

According to the script information, today was June 28th. The day after tomorrow, he had to decide whether to take this job or not. The job advertisement clearly stated that June 30th was the deadline for application, and they had to arrive there that night.

After entering, as soon as he closed the door, he saw a photo placed on a table in front of him. In the photo, it was him and two middle-aged men and women behind him.

However, Ye Xiang had definitely not taken this photo, and he didn't recognize the middle-aged couple in the photo at all. They were probably Zhang Hua, his "own" parents. The photo didn't seem to have any traces of photoshopping, and he was smiling happily in the photo.

This was a world with the real past of a person named Zhang Hua.

And at this moment, the focus of the script was on Yu Chen.

"Is that a high salary?" Yu Chen, who played the role of Liu Haiping, was currently in the university dormitory building. For the 24-year-old Yu Chen, the role of a college student was not unfamiliar. At this moment, he was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, browsing through this job advertisement.

From the beginning, the four of them were separated. They had to gather again on June 30th.

During this time, they naturally had time to investigate the location of this job. However, Yu Chen had enough experience in this regard. It was difficult to find any clues in the early stages of investigating suspenseful horror movies. At this moment, he also reached into his pocket, his trump card... the severed finger was still there.

Su Han, Tian Bai, and the newcomer Ye Xiang...

The script for the first scene had already been given. However, it would soon enter a blank period in the script. There shouldn't be any terrifying things happening in these two days, so they could pass the time peacefully. Then... it would begin.

Time flew by, and it was already evening...

Ye Xiang heard the sound of keys opening the door from outside. Then, the door was pushed open, and the middle-aged woman in the photo walked in, holding several bags of vegetables in her hand.

"A Hua! Mom bought your favorite osmanthus fish today!" The middle-aged woman smiled at Ye Xiang, who walked out of the bedroom, and said, "Look, this fish is very fresh!"

In this world, it seemed that there had always been a person named Zhang Hua.

"Mom, let me help you with the vegetables."

At this moment, Ye Xiang felt like he saw his own mother, his heart felt a pang, and he quickly walked over to help "his mother" take the bags of vegetables, one of which contained a live osmanthus fish.

After a while, the middle-aged man in the photo, Zhang Hua's father, also returned home. He wore a pair of glasses, had a thick beard on his face, and held several newspapers in his hand.

"Dad, you're back." Ye Xiang smiled and said.

"Yeah." Zhang's father seemed a bit rigid. After putting things away, he sat in the living room and started reading the newspaper.

Soon, Zhang's mother finished cooking dinner. The three of them sat together and started eating. The parents began talking about various family matters, and Ye Xiang also talked to "his parents" about various other things. Finally, he said, "Dad, Mom, in July, I want to go on a three-day trip with my friends."

Father frowned and said, "A trip? How long has it been since you graduated? You haven't found a job yet, and you still have the audacity to go out and play?""Dad, it's precisely because I haven't found a job recently... I want to go out and have some fun, to relax."

According to the requirements of the part-time job, he had to stay there for three days straight and couldn't come back.

"Hmph... No ambition! Do as you please!"

His mother, on the other hand, cheerfully said, "It's good for the child to go out and have some fun, he can gain some experience."

Ye Xiang quickly picked up the bottle of yellow wine on the table, poured a drink for his father, and said, "Dad, thank you. I'll buy you a gift when I'm back."

With three hundred thousand, he could buy as many gifts as he wanted, Ye Xiang thought this line was absolutely fine.

Everything... would happen on June 30th!
