Ye Xiang was aware of this before, but besides risking his life, there was almost no other way to earn redemption tickets. It was like a dream to obtain redemption tickets without taking risks. Even renting cursed items to others carried the risk of the person dying in a horror movie due to the curse.

In the long run, ten thousand redemption tickets seemed too distant.

However, Ye Xiang had a strong desire to survive, so he would never give up even if there was a tiny glimmer of hope. In the upcoming filming process, he had to find ways to increase his redemption tickets. Otherwise, the negative balance would accumulate more and more, and when this horror movie ended and the redemption tickets were settled, just thinking about the terrifying scene of his body and head being separated and dismembered by an electric saw in that dark cabin made his body tremble.

However, at the moment, although his body had recovered to some extent, he still felt weak and needed to rest for a while. Moreover, he was still in shock and felt temporarily unsuitable for taking risks. After all, a person only had one life! The life and death adventure just now was too terrifying, and his life was on the line. It made him deeply realize that cursed items were not omnipotent and could not guarantee a person's life one hundred percent.

"Are you okay?" Liu Ying looked at Ye Xiang with concern. She was saved by Ye Xiang yesterday, allowing her to escape from death. If not for that, she would probably have died like the male second lead, Hang Qingshu (she didn't know Hou Tianbai's name). Therefore, she naturally cared about Ye Xiang. Moreover, she didn't have any cursed items on her, so she had no self-defense ability when encountering ghosts. Naturally, she had to stay with these experienced actors in order to survive.

After resting for about half an hour, Ye Xiang finally felt his body recovering. However, he knew that he could only overdraw the high heels one more time. Because if he used them again, the overdraft of redemption tickets would exceed negative five hundred. Once it reached that point, he could no longer use any cursed items unless he paid off the overdraft.

Only one more time...

In other words, success or failure depended on this one move. Once he used it again, he couldn't increase his redemption tickets anymore, which meant a death sentence for Ye Xiang. Even if he could be protected by Yu Chen and survive, he would still die because he couldn't pay off the overdraft of redemption tickets. Therefore, he had to plan carefully and not act rashly.

After thinking through the pain, Ye Xiang believed that it was not suitable for him to act alone in the current situation. Yu Chen carried two cursed items but still died miserably, and the protagonist's halo seemed to have disappeared. In that case, he would rather act together with Yu Chen and Su Han. Even if the additional redemption tickets were reduced due to the three of them sharing, at least the overdraft amount would be reduced, giving him more opportunities to use cursed items. As the saying goes, as long as there are green mountains, there is no need to worry about firewood. At this moment, Ye Xiang only hoped to pay off the overdraft amount and make the redemption tickets no longer negative before the end of the movie, and he would be satisfied.

With this thought in mind, he stopped thinking too much and walked into the kitchen, saying to Yu Chen, who was preparing lunch, "Liu Haiping, I want to talk to you. In the future, I hope we can act together as much as possible."

As soon as he said this, Ye Xiang found that his redemption tickets had decreased by 10 again, becoming -252! Although self-created lines usually had to accumulate to a certain extent before deducting redemption tickets, some key lines could deduct 10 redemption tickets with just one sentence! But this sentence had to be said!

And Yu Chen, who had just saved Ye Xiang, gained 700 redemption tickets in one go! This made him extremely happy. Because at that time, if he had been even 0.5 seconds slower, Ye Xiang would have followed in the footsteps of Hou Tianbai. Therefore, the increase in redemption tickets was naturally significant, and saving others while ensuring one's own safety was easier to increase redemption tickets. It was obvious that the cinema encouraged them to intervene in the plot of other supporting roles and save them one by one.

For Yu Chen, who had obtained so many redemption tickets, it was a relief, so he was naturally in a good mood. And he didn't mind continuing to follow Ye Xiang. If he could protect him well, the redemption tickets would naturally continue to increase.

"Okay." He readily agreed, "In the future, let's try to act together as much as possible."

At noon, according to the schedule, lunch was delivered to the basement. Afterwards, the empty bowls and plates were brought up. This proved that the "person" in the basement was still there.

Of course, everyone's expressions were unfriendly. Obviously, they already regarded the "person" in the basement as a zombie. Even newcomers like Liu Ying almost believed that it must be a zombie without a doubt!After the lunch was delivered, Liu Ying suddenly grabbed the plates and smashed them on the ground, saying, "Should we continue delivering meals? Is it meaningful?"

Zhao Xiaoya sighed and patted her shoulder, saying, "Not following instructions might be even scarier. These zombies even eat raw meat. If we stop delivering meals, they might eat us out of hunger."

"Then let's poison them!" Liu Ying pointed at the dishes on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Is there any poison that can kill zombies? Any poison?"

"Don't be like this, Liu Ying," Zhao Xiaoya comforted. "Where would we get poison? Besides, zombies are already dead. How can poison kill them? We will all be with you. We don't want to die either, including me!"

Liu Ying looked at the others, and her gaze finally settled on the protagonist, Yu Chen, saying, "Liu Haiping, what can we do to survive? This zombie is too terrifying!"

"It's not certain that it's definitely a zombie," Yu Chen shook his head. "I always feel that everything is shrouded in mystery. We can't jump to conclusions. In any case, we will continue to find a way to investigate the secrets of the Ouyang family. We must... we must uncover everything!"

Zhao Xiaoya looked at Yu Chen and also spoke, "Please, Mr. Liu. After all, among us, only you know about the Ouyang family."

However, how could Yu Chen understand the so-called Ouyang family? Liu Haiping's lines were his only source of information about the Ouyang family, but the clues were too few, only mentioning something about "raising zombies." However, zombies were different from ghosts. They had physical bodies and almost killed Ye Xiang, who was clearly a ethereal spirit!

The more he heard about zombies, the more doubtful he became.

Time passed quickly. Nothing else happened until six o'clock.

Dinner had already been delivered and taken down by the elevator. At this moment, Ye Xiang was still following Yu Chen and Su Han. Now, only by following them could he maximize his chances of survival.

And next... it would be the third act of "The Forbidden Room," the most terrifying plot!

They could only use the curse item one more time... Life and death would be decided next! If they failed, he would die because he couldn't repay the overdrafted death redemption voucher!

They could only succeed, not fail!

Ye Xiang had also made up his mind.

At this moment, in the depths of the basement... in the sealed room, there was an unknown darkness.

In that darkness, there were occasional "bang" sounds! It seemed like something was knocking on the door. It seemed...

It wanted to break out at any moment!

"Crash"!

A coffee cup shattered on the ground.

Yu Chen stared blankly at the spilled coffee on the ground. Then, he squatted down and picked up the fragments, with Ye Xiang helping him.

"You're too nervous, Liu Haiping," Ye Xiang sighed. "I also know that in the current situation..."

"It's fine." Yu Chen picked up the pieces one by one and put them in the trash can.

"By the way, where are the others?"

Ye Xiang looked around the living room, which seemed empty.

"They just said that we should gather together."

"They don't want to. What can I do?"

At this moment, Su Han brought a broom and said, "Alright, let's clean up."

According to the original script, it wasn't Ye Xiang and Su Han who helped clean up after the coffee cup was shattered. However, the new actors were now keeping their distance and didn't dare to stay here. Liu Ying only cooperated with them because she wasn't sure of the exact location of her death. But with the knowledge of the actual death location, the new actors preferred to stay away from them.

Yu Chen stood up, supporting himself. He knew that the next challenge would be the greatest for them.

Fortunately, he had those 700 death redemption vouchers, which were more than enough for him. Even if he overdrafted a few hundred vouchers, he would be able to make up for it later.

While Ye Xiang and Su Han were sweeping the coffee cup fragments, they were also extremely vigilant.

The living room was dimly lit. It seemed that the lights had been insufficient since the power outage last night. Coupled with the villa being completely sealed without windows, it naturally appeared even more eerie.

At the same time, on the second floor, Liu Ying, Zhao Xiaoya, and Wu Jun were gathered together.

The first floor was now a dangerous area, so no one dared to go down. Therefore, the new actors had no choice but to stay away from them and gather together.

"Well, coffee... Do you want another cup?" Liu Ying's hand holding the cup was trembling, and her face was pale.

Zhao Xiaoya put down the cup and shook her head gently. "I don't need it."

Compared to Liu Ying and Wu Jun, Zhao Xiaoya seemed more composed.Wu Jun was someone who had already been written off twice in the script. Although he was still alive, he was like a frightened bird. At this moment, all he could think about was, what if those veteran actors couldn't hold back and let that ghost come up? Would he be able to hide far enough away?

"Um... sorry, I need to use the restroom."

Wu Jun put down his coffee cup and walked out the door. When he reached the stairs, his body trembled, and he dashed towards the restroom. Once inside, he locked the door firmly, sat on the toilet, and clasped his hands together, muttering under his breath, "Namo Amitabha, Guanyin, Buddha, anyone... whether it's a zombie or whatever, please don't let those things get close to me... Namo Amitabha..."
