"Miss Mo, how long does it usually take for a cursed object to cause the curse to resurface?"

"It's hard to determine because there are not enough precedents to refer to. However, Fang Leng has proven that if an actor who possesses a cursed object dies, the curse on the object will gradually weaken. But even so, it cannot appear in front of the camera for a long time and must be hidden."

Ye Xiang still remembered what Mo Qiushi had told him.

Fortunately, he now had enough redemption tickets.

It had not been thirty minutes yet, so for now, he could only use the last Soul-Calling Talisman and not the high heels. He couldn't wait for thirty minutes because by then, the curse might have already resurfaced.

Finally, he arrived at the underground basement, following the stone stairs.

The dark underground gave a sense of oppression, and he could only use his phone for illumination. The corridor ahead became filled with danger, but he couldn't slow down and quickly headed towards the basement.

He could have brought Su Han along, but Su Han would definitely think that he had kept the severed finger for himself and brought him along to earn redemption tickets through this adventure. Su Han was already a frightened bird and would never agree to come. He couldn't explain the situation to him either, and time didn't allow it. He could only rely on the Soul-Calling Talisman to see if he could escape, but he had no confidence. However, if the vengeful ghost of the severed finger were to revive, this horror film would definitely end in annihilation! Jiao Mengqi's survival ability was too strong and not a good reference!

The dark basement was so eerie. Since Ye Xiang came alone this time, the light from his phone was not enough. He used his phone to illuminate the surroundings but found nothing.

After turning the corner of the corridor, he reached the basement room.

Ye Xiang reached into his pocket and tightly held the talisman. In terms of survival ability, the talisman was far inferior to the high heels. The talisman could only hinder temporarily, while the high heels could produce a curse effect for a period of time. He just didn't understand why the effect had weakened before...

Would there be any problem?

Turning the corner, he shone the phone screen forward.

He saw Wu Jun's body right in front of him. However, as he looked around...

He still couldn't find the severed finger!

Was it not here? Then where could it be?

Or had the curse already resurfaced? After all, ten minutes was already too long!

No... it had been more than ten minutes!

Ye Xiang's hand holding the phone became clumsy. Wu Jun's body was right in front of him, but he couldn't find the severed finger...

Yu Chen had died again...

Ye Xiang tightly held the talisman in his pocket and continuously scanned the surroundings with his phone, afraid that a terrifying vengeful ghost would suddenly appear in the darkness!

No...

He couldn't...

If that were the case, Ye Xiang's chances of survival would be slim. Even with over six hundred redemption tickets, it wouldn't be enough to keep him alive!

He still had to return to the real world, he still had to go back and see his parents! He couldn't die here!

He couldn't!

His teeth almost bit his lips until they bled. Now, for Ye Xiang, should he retreat or continue searching for the severed finger? Would it be...

Behind Wu Jun's body?

Ye Xiang slowly walked to Wu Jun's body, crouched down, his right hand still in his pocket, and his left hand reached out to open Wu Jun's body.

However, a hand suddenly reached out from behind Wu Jun and grabbed Ye Xiang's neck!

Ye Xiang quickly took out the Soul-Calling Talisman and stuck it on that hand!

That hand immediately retreated into the darkness behind Wu Jun!

Wu Jun's body fell to the ground. The phone illuminated his back... but there was no one there.

Ye Xiang saw it clearly, that hand only had four fingers, missing the index finger!

That severed finger... indeed... revived the vengeful ghost!

His redemption tickets, which were originally 658, were now reduced to 508 due to the use of the talisman!

At this moment, Ye Xiang trembled all over. Despair covered him like a tide!

He encountered the same situation as the horror film "Blood of the Underworld"! Qi Qingqing almost died in that horror film because of the curse on the cursed object! If it weren't for the protagonist Jiao Mengqi, that horror film would have ended in annihilation!

And now, it hadn't been thirty minutes yet, but the talisman was already used up. Ye Xiang... couldn't use the high heels now! If he forcefully used them, the curse would fully resurface, and the vengeful spirit of the woman who was murdered by betrayal, the original owner of those high heels, would also revive in this horror film! In that case, even the slightest possibility of survival would cease to exist!

If he wanted to survive, he could only escape to Su Han's side! That was the only option now!

Although these thoughts seemed lengthy, they all flashed through Ye Xiang's mind in an instant. He immediately rushed towards the entrance of the basement, but as soon as he turned the corner of the corridor, he realized that his phone... suddenly went black!

The phone was clearly fully charged!

Suddenly, everything in front of him plunged into darkness!

But there was no other choice. If he wanted to stay alive, he had to escape to Su Han's side!

Ye Xiang ran as fast as he could!

Just as he was about to turn the corner of the corridor, he suddenly felt his right hand being tightly grabbed by a cold hand!

Despair finally arrived. Ye Xiang still couldn't escape.

"Help... help me! Su Han—"

Ye Xiang roared desperately, hoping that Su Han could hear him.At this desperate final moment, it seemed as if time around them had come to a standstill.

Before Ye Xiang could react, his consciousness began to blur. He didn't know how much time had passed before he started to regain clarity.

He found himself and Liu Ying in a dark room. On the door in front of them, a talisman that had almost completely burned out was still stuck to the doorknob.

NG!

Ye Xiang immediately realized that in that critical moment, he had finally made a mistake. Instead of shouting "Lu Ze Nan", he had shouted "Su Han". This was absolutely unacceptable, hence, an immediate NG. Newcomers filming a horror movie for the first time usually make this mistake the least, because they generally don't know the real names of the actors.

Of course, this also saved his life. However, even though the NG was caused by a mistake, he still had to deduct three times the film remuneration of the death redemption ticket, which was 450 tickets! Subtracting 450 from 508, he only had 58 death redemption tickets left! In other words, he still couldn't use the death redemption ticket! Moreover, although he had previously entered the basement to find the severed finger, which was considered a voluntary risk, he survived in the end due to the NG, so he wouldn't get any additional death redemption tickets. After an NG, the number of death redemption tickets obtained and deducted wouldn't be reduced or refunded, which was fair to everyone.

This was the first NG Ye Xiang had experienced, and surprisingly, it saved his life. If he had intentionally caused the NG, then the deducted death redemption tickets would have to be 1500, which would mean he would be in debt of nearly 1000 death redemption tickets! Death redemption tickets were not easy to earn! Although Ye Xiang had successively obtained 600 and 500 death redemption tickets, they were all obtained through life-threatening situations, and he had spent a lot of death redemption tickets to exchange for cursed items. But now? After the NG, he could use the high heels, but... he didn't have enough death redemption tickets!

He and Liu Ying pushed the door open and walked out, and the outside was brightly lit. Everything... was exactly the same as the scene at the beginning of the third act.

The third act began to be re-shot.

"Are you guys okay?"

Yu Chen was seen running from the other end of the corridor.

Yes... it was Yu Chen! After an NG, even the dead actors could come back to life! Coming back to life after death was a very absurd thing, but Ye Xiang, who had seen his own head and body separate and still survive, naturally didn't find it strange.

However, having seen Yu Chen's corpse with his own eyes and then seeing him come back to life, he couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.

For Yu Chen, he was also extremely grateful. He had thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to come back to life!

This was also his first real death in a horror movie! According to his understanding, there were only four actors in the Thirteenth Cinema who had come back to life due to an NG. One of them was Fang Leng! Even he himself had died once! And the movie in which he died was "Ghost Sacrifice 2"!

At that time, someone had asked Fang Leng what it felt like to die. But Fang Leng couldn't answer. Yu Chen was also unable to answer. Looking back, his own death felt like a dream.

Now, all he felt was immense gratitude. Although he didn't know who caused the NG, that person could be considered his lifesaver!

It's worth mentioning that since Yu Chen came back to life, the severed finger and the bell were naturally still with him, still his possessions. And the 50 death redemption tickets that Su Han had paid to get the bell would naturally not be refunded, he could only consider himself unlucky.

However, Su Han was not discouraged by this. Seeing Yu Chen come back to life and standing in front of him, he felt a great sense of relief. After all, if Yu Chen had really died, he wouldn't know what to do. Now that his protagonist was back, at least someone was in charge. The wasted 50 death redemption tickets... there was nothing he could do about it.

With Yu Chen's resurrection, Wu Jun was also very lucky to come back to life. So, the third act was re-shot. But what would the outcome be with the re-shooting?

Now, although Ye Xiang didn't have enough death redemption tickets, if he could survive by taking risks himself, then the death redemption tickets he obtained should be able to offset the negative number. However, according to the current script, he wouldn't die for the time being. But if the plot changed, he didn't know what would happen.

Everything was still unknown.

Everyone still began to fall asleep one by one in the living room. Ye Xiang was no exception. Although he felt he couldn't sleep, he gradually closed his eyes and fell into a dream.

When he woke up again...

What choice would he make?

All of this, he would only know when he woke up.

However, in his dream, he fell into an even more terrifying nightmare. He felt himself being pulled into the depths of the basement, into the sealed room.

In the sealed room was a rotting, grim-faced... zombie!

The zombie pounced at Ye Xiang, tearing off chunks of flesh from his body...

The nightmare repeated itself over and over, and Ye Xiang... could only spend this long night in this endless nightmare...
