Vol.2 - Chapter 16 – The risk of curse revival

In an instant, Ye Xiang's reaction was not slow. He immediately stuck a Soul Summoning Talisman behind him!

The cold touch behind him immediately disappeared.

When he turned around, there was no one behind him!

Ye Xiang, still in shock, quickly ran out of the corridor!

Just now, it was as if he had walked around the gates of hell! If it weren't for the Soul Summoning Talisman on him, he wouldn't have survived!

However, he didn't understand why, even after he put the high heels back in his pocket, the curse should still have lasted for a while. Although he wasn't sure how long it would last, it shouldn't have happened immediately...

But fortunately, he gained something from this ordeal. He earned 500 Redemption Tickets by struggling on the brink of death! Of course, it was less than when he saved Liu Ying before, because it was more difficult to protect himself while saving another character. Originally, he had 158 Redemption Tickets after using the high heels and a Soul Summoning Talisman consecutively (some of which were deducted when he arrived at the basement door). Now, with an additional 500, he had a total of 658!

After rushing into the living room, he saw Su Han already there and immediately said, "Something... something bad happened... Liu, Liu, Liu Haiping, he's dead!"

Even Yu Chen, who was the protagonist, had died. This result shocked Ye Xiang too much. It wasn't impossible for the protagonist to die, just like Luo Haosheng in "Horror Bus". However, Yu Chen had much more experience than Yang He, and he still had that severed finger! Even so, he died? Then what about Wu Jun? If the protagonist died, then he, as a supporting character, was probably finished as well.

Of course, if Yu Chen died, then Ye Xiang, who had now risen to the position of "second male lead," would become the new protagonist! However, for Ye Xiang, this was not something to be happy about. Currently, within the next half hour, he only had one Soul Summoning Talisman left, and this talisman could only provide a certain amount of obstruction. If the protagonist died, it meant that the script for Act Three would have to be completely rewritten. How should he continue to act?

"What... what did you just say? Did I... did I hear it wrong?"

Although Su Han had already received the prompt of the protagonist's death from the script, he still felt dizzy when he heard Ye Xiang say it. Yu Chen... he really died!

You should know, it was Yu Chen! Even Fang Leng admired him! Even if he died, it shouldn't have been in such a low-difficulty horror movie, right?

Su Han took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and walked over in big strides, saying, "What did you say? Liu Haiping is dead? Are you sure? Did you see his body?"

Su Han still couldn't believe it. It didn't make sense!

And if Yu Chen died, what should they do with the rest of the plot?

Although Su Han also had a cursed item, a cursed painting, his Redemption Tickets were also running low. You should know that so far, he hadn't earned any Redemption Tickets!

If Yu Chen died, then the only person he could rely on was Ye Xiang!

A few minutes later, everyone gathered at the entrance of the basement.

The horrific and miserable state of Yu Chen's body didn't need to be described. No one dared to enter the basement in this state. Wu Jun was probably dead as well.

"This... this, this is impossible!" Liu Ying's expression could be described as shocked and desperate. She almost fell down and was supported by Zhao Xiaoya.

She was still a rookie actress after all, and she always believed that even if the protagonist were to die, it should be at the end of the movie, not in the middle of Act Three!

Zhao Xiaoya also looked at Yu Chen's body with an extremely surprised expression. It seemed that she was just as shocked as Liu Ying by the protagonist's death.

"How could Liu Haiping die?" Zhao Xiaoya immediately turned her gaze to Ye Xiang. "Zhang Hua, tell us everything!"

"Yes, yes..." Liu Ying grabbed Ye Xiang's collar. She was already scared silly. Even the supporting characters were dead, did she still have a way out?

Her face was pale, tears streaming down her face. "Tell me! Zhang Hua... what the hell is going on!"

Liu Ying really hoped that this wasn't true. The protagonist actually died, and it was only halfway through the movie. It was too unbelievable! The protagonist shouldn't have a halo of invincibility, right? She hadn't carefully sorted out the specific rules she had obtained in her mind, and she hadn't mentioned the fact that the protagonist could die prematurely.

At the same time, in the basement...

Wu Jun's body lay in front of the door. His head was hanging loosely on his neck, with only a few bones still partially connected.

And that severed finger fell to the ground in front.

And behind... in the room behind that door...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the darkness, the sound of a violent impact echoed. It sounded like... it was going to break through that door...

As Ye Xiang and Su Han looked at Yu Chen's body, they also began to shift their gaze to his pocket. Su Han naturally couldn't help but covet that severed finger, and as for Ye Xiang, since he couldn't use the cursed item again within half an hour due to the restriction, it was better to have more than less.

Should they take it?

"I'm going crazy! What the hell is going on!" Liu Ying suddenly grabbed her head and roared, "I don't care anymore! I don't care anymore! We're all going to die here! That zombie, yes, that zombie must be using the secret passage in that room to come upstairs again and again, killing us one by one! I... I need to prepare... what are zombies afraid of? Crosses? Wooden stakes? Right, I'll make a cross! Anyway... I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

Zhao Xiaoya quickly pulled the already frantic Liu Ying and said, "Calm down! None of us want to die! But this won't solve the problem! Even if it's really a zombie, crosses won't work!"Ye Xiang sighed, deciding to first lay down Yu Chen's body.

"Lu Zenan, come help me."

Su Han also scratched his head, now completely unable to follow the script of the third act. Although Yu Chen's death wouldn't deduct their redemption tickets for now, what would happen as time went on?

Su Han began to feel a strong sense of fear. It was because of Yu Chen that he had confidence, believing that in this low-difficulty horror film, Yu Chen could help him and he wouldn't die here. But now, he began to fear... Yu Chen was dead, what about him? Could he really survive?

He might also die!

No... he must get Yu Chen's severed finger!

Without further hesitation, he said, "Right, could that A4 paper be on Yu Chen?"

Then, without saying another word, he quickly reached into Yu Chen's pocket. However, he only pulled out a bell!

"This is..."

Quickly, he received a script hint, it was a cursed object!

This made Su Han overjoyed, he immediately put it in his pocket, saying, "Ah, this is my lost bell! Liu Haiping must have picked it up."

Ye Xiang didn't stop him, since he took the high heels last time, let him have this bell. It was probably Yu Chen's hidden trump card.

Everyone returned to the living room. At this point, no one dared to go back to the basement to check on Wu Jun's condition.

"Everyone." At this point, Ye Xiang knew that the burden of the protagonist was likely to fall on him, "The situation has developed to this point, we must unite. From now on, no matter what happens... um, except for going to the bathroom, we must always stay together, we absolutely cannot be alone anymore! Everyone, grit your teeth and hold on a little longer, tomorrow, we can leave!"

"Can we really get out tomorrow?" However, Liu Ying was crying bitterly, leaning on Zhao Xiaoya.

Can we get out?

Before the script of the fourth act came out, Ye Xiang naturally couldn't know the answer.

Currently, he had more than six hundred redemption tickets, and the high heels could be used four times. Even if he couldn't use it a second time after half an hour of using it, he still had one last talisman.

He firmly believed that he could survive... he must!

However, although he thought so, this bizarre situation made him tremble with fear. Why did Yu Chen die? He not only had a severed finger, but also that bell, with these two methods, even if the severed finger was used once, it wouldn't...

Just then, Ye Xiang suddenly remembered something very important!

Where was the severed finger?

Su Han didn't take out the severed finger! Su Han must have thought he took the severed finger.

So, where was the severed finger? Was it lost somewhere?

This couldn't be taken lightly! You know, cursed objects can't appear in the movie frame for a long time! As time goes on, the curse might revive!

That severed finger, according to Yu Chen, was a severed finger cut off from a dead person before he turned into a ghost in a horror film. It contained the strongest curse, and the difficulty of that horror film was far higher than this "Room of Confinement"! Once the curse revives, maybe that severed finger can let that ghost be reborn in this horror film!

No matter what... the severed finger must be recovered!

If that ghost is reborn in this horror film, there will be no script to limit and bind it. He doesn't have Jiao Mengqi's terrifying survival ability to escape in such a situation!

Ye Xiang looked at the clock, the severed finger had been lost for at least ten minutes. The loss of a cursed object is a serious problem, Yu Chen and Mo Qiushi, who are responsible for explaining to the newcomers, have told him what would happen in this situation. Generally, if the holder of the cursed object dies, the cursed object loses its ownership, which will cause the cinema of hell to weaken its curse restriction to some extent, but ten minutes is too long! If it continues... the consequences are unimaginable!

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

He couldn't wait any longer!

"Um... I'm going to the bathroom."

Then, Ye Xiang left. He had specifically mentioned "except for going to the bathroom", so no one objected.

He hurried to the entrance of the basement, where the blood was still lingering.

At this moment, he was also very nervous, knowing that the curse of the severed finger could revive at any time! And he didn't know how long after the severed finger was taken out, Yu Chen was killed, causing the ownership to be lost, and the curse restriction of the cursed object to be weakened!

He stepped forward and rushed into the basement!
