The redemption ticket is as precious as life to actors. The more redemption tickets they have, the greater their hope of survival. Whether it is the use of cursed objects, actively changing the plot, or ultimately redeeming their freedom... it is all crucial.
If it weren't for this, even if Hou Tianbai had become bolder after several horror movies, he would never have taken such a risky initiative. "Ghost Sacrifice 3" is going to be released tomorrow, and even Fang Leng cannot guarantee that he will come back alive. If things really go wrong, he needs to be prepared. After all, even the cursed high heels on his body will have to be handed over to Fang Leng and the others. If they are lost in "Ghost Sacrifice 3," it is hard to predict how long he can survive with his meager amount of redemption tickets.
After all... it is too difficult to accumulate redemption tickets through other means! Only by actively entering dangerous situations and being on the brink of life and death can one possibly obtain a large number of redemption tickets! Hou Tianbai estimated that as long as he can survive until the end of the second act, the number of redemption tickets he will receive will be at least three to four times his salary!
Fortune favors the bold!
A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
Hou Tianbai has been pushed to a dead end, so he cannot just sit and wait for death!
However, even though he said that, he already feels a chill running through his body and sweat constantly seeping out. Even his teeth are trembling uncontrollably.
He immediately realizes... this is very dangerous! According to the script, the character he plays, Hang Qingshu, is just here to visit Wu Jun's room out of curiosity. However, he is showing so much fear that he might accidentally cause a NG (no good). Once there is a NG, all the previous shots will be invalidated and they will have to start over.
He immediately suppresses his fear and forces himself to stop trembling. However, his heartbeat is getting faster and stronger. The fear he has experienced so far can be explained as a reaction to Liu Haiping's words. But there must be a limit, and if it goes too far, it is inevitable that there will be a NG.
Although he has had similar experiences before, he always had companions by his side. But now, he is alone! But there is no other choice. Yu Chen is a cautious person, and he still has a considerable number of redemption tickets, so he doesn't need to take this risky path. Su Han also has more redemption tickets than him, and the newcomer actor Ye Xiang should not be counted on at all. If he comes up, he will definitely be seeking death!
Feeling his body getting colder, he pulls the blanket next to him and covers himself a bit more, muttering to himself, "This... this villa is really cold..."
He just hopes that this explanation will be accepted and not lead to a NG.
It is difficult to determine the time of Wu Jun's death. Someone went to his room to call him after ten o'clock, but none of them are forensic experts, so it is difficult to accurately determine the time of death. In short, anything could have happened during the time from now until ten o'clock. He is now highly nervous, and his hand holding the high heels in his right pocket is covered in sweat.
Downstairs, Yu Chen is also very nervous. But according to the script, at this moment, he is in a study room with Ye Xiang, checking the books here.
The script arranged for Zhang Hua to follow Liu Haiping, which made Yu Chen somewhat relieved. It may be a coincidence, but it could also be a way to take care of the newcomer actor.
Yu Chen is sincere in his dealings with people. He only has conflicts with Jiao Mengqi because of her harsh words. He gets along well with everyone else. After all, Hou Tianbai is also his companion. Before entering the Hell Cinema, he was just an ordinary college student, not stable enough in his actions, and his thinking was relatively simple and extreme. He always had messy hair and a bad temper... but after all, they have experienced life and death together!
However, Yu Chen is not a saint after all. He cannot be fearless of death. This is Hou Tianbai's own decision, and he must have his own confidence to go up alone. Everyone has to take responsibility for their own decisions, so since he made this choice, Yu Chen will not interfere anymore. After all, he also has to consider the overall situation. The cursed objects in his hands are crucial for tomorrow's "Ghost Sacrifice 3" trip and must not be lost. Moreover, even though they are companions, it doesn't mean he has to protect them like a babysitter. After all, they are not like Ye Xiang, a newcomer who has just become an actor.
However, deep down, he silently prays that Hou Tianbai will survive. The deaths of Yang He, Tang Hailan, Yu Hao, and others may not be shown on the surface, but he is still quite sad inside. However, all he can do now is this, everything... depends on Hou Tianbai and his luck.
"Liu Haiping," Ye Xiang's voice interrupts his thoughts. "Is this okay? The master has strict requirements..."
"We need to figure out the cause and effect of things." Yu Chen stops thinking too much and starts to focus on his lines. "Based on my analysis, the master's purpose for us being here is likely an experiment. Although I don't think there will be obvious clues left by the other party, we still need to search and see."
"Oh... alright then. But these books seem to be related to myths, legends, and religions."
Yu Chen looks at the books on the bookshelf. Rather than being related to myths and religions, it is more accurate to say that they have some connection to esoteric Buddhism.
"These are quite obscure books." Yu Chen takes out one of the books, and his expression changes slightly.
"This is..."
Ye Xiang also comes over to take a look.
Meanwhile, Wu Jun is searching with Su Han in another area. This villa is quite large, with spacious halls and rooms. In addition to the study, there are also a gym and an antique collection room.According to the original plot, Wu Jun should be upstairs at this moment, reading an e-book on his phone, and then dying for some unknown reason. But now, he had to deviate from the script and stick with Su Han. Initially, he wanted to stay with the protagonist, Yu Chen, as he felt safer with him. However, Yu Chen, needing to take care of Ye Xiang, didn't want anyone else following him, so he refused.
At this moment, the room they were in was filled with numerous antique furniture and various porcelain pieces, dazzling to the eye. Unfortunately, neither Su Han nor Wu Jun knew much about antiques, so they could only glance around casually.
Su Han would occasionally pick up a piece of porcelain and marvel at its excellent quality and preservation. Of course, what was more important to him was to confirm whether it was a cursed object. If it was, a script prompt should appear in his mind. Sadly, these seemed to be just ordinary porcelain pieces, with no such characteristics.
Compared to Yu Chen, Su Han didn't care much about Hou Tianbai's life or death. In this hellish cinema, it was already extremely difficult to survive. If he hadn't been lucky enough to obtain a cursed object from a deceased actor, he might not have survived until today. Therefore, he didn't have the energy to worry about others. He was only thinking about how to get a second cursed object and increase his death redemption tickets.
The only companion he cared about was Tang Hailan. After playing a couple with her once, Su Han developed strong feelings for her. Although he knew that all the affectionate words she said to him were just lines, it was hard not to hope for something more when such a beauty played his lover. However, she died as the female lead in a low-difficulty horror film "Terror Bus"!
This made Su Han feel cold, and he no longer cared much about the life and death of his companions. As far as he was concerned, as long as he could survive, it was enough. His attitude led to a significant reduction in communication with other actors, resulting in his popularity being quite average. He was completely unaware that this attitude would also make others not care much about him. The so-called team should be united, being a lone wolf in a horror film is more harmful than beneficial, but Su Han was completely oblivious to this.
After touching all the porcelain pieces, Su Han was greatly disappointed. All of these were ordinary porcelain, none of them were cursed objects. Wu Jun, who was next to him, was too afraid of the deduction of death redemption tickets to say anything.
Looking at Wu Jun, Su Han felt even more disgusted. This man was destined to be killed by a ghost, and following him might endanger himself. He had no good feelings left for this new actor. If he survived past his destined death time, his death redemption tickets would keep decreasing. As a newcomer, he didn't have much pay, and even if he survived by luck, he would die because his death redemption tickets became negative. Su Han didn't bother with him and walked out directly.
Seeing him leaving, Wu Jun hurriedly followed. However, he walked too fast and bumped into a chair, falling to the ground.
He quickly propped up the chair, but at that moment... his eyes widened in shock!
Wu Jun saw... a bright red bloody handprint on the back of the chair!
Time was slowly passing.
It was already half past nine in the morning.
Of course, a lot of this time was a blank period in the script, and the actors could improvise as long as they didn't contradict the subsequent plot and character behavior.
Hou Tianbai felt as if he was in an ice cellar, completely covered with a blanket, his eyes aimlessly scanning the surroundings, his right hand never leaving the high-heeled shoe. Even a moment of relaxation could mean his death!
Why isn't it coming out yet? Why isn't it coming out?
When watching horror movies in the past, Hou Tianbai always felt that the most terrifying moment was when the ghost was about to appear but hadn't yet. Every time he saw such a scene, he would choose to move away from the TV or computer.
And now... in a real horror movie, this sensation was amplified by more than ten times!
