Ye Xiang had made up his mind.
"This..." Su Han looked at Yu Chen, then at Ye Xiang, and finally made up his mind secretly.
Once they entered the fourth act, they would lose the advantage of knowing the future plot. And the final act would also be a horror film, the most dangerous period of time! Since that was the case, he naturally wanted to obtain more redemption tickets before that!
"Alright!" Su Han now looked at Ye Xiang with some approval. Regardless, this courage was not easy for a newcomer actor to have.
Yu Chen, on the other hand, was different. Although using the severed finger just now wasted a redemption ticket, it was not yet to the point where he had to personally take risks. He had already died once, and he always had a fear of the basement.
"Let's go."
Since the decision had been made, there was no need to say more. Ye Xiang stood up as well.
Whether there was danger in going to the basement this time was unknown. However, judging from the original script in the morning, Wu Jun died in the basement, so the basement was definitely a dangerous place.
The mysterious presence sealed in the basement room also needed further investigation.
Then, Ye Xiang walked straight into another corridor and headed towards the entrance of the basement. Su Han immediately followed, unwilling to be left behind. After all, he was a veteran actor.
"Are you... afraid?" Su Han suddenly asked.
"Afraid..." Ye Xiang took a deep breath. "But I want to survive! Whether it's zombies or evil spirits, we can't just sit and wait for death! Do you dare to come with me? Do you have the confidence?"
"Of course. In any case, I won't hold you back."
Su Han couldn't help but admire Ye Xiang even more. After all, he had personally seen the terrifying corpse of Yu Chen, yet he still dared to go to the basement...
This suddenly reminded him of Fang Leng, whom he deeply admired.
Fang Leng was the same. He realized early on that in order to shoot a real horror film, one had to dare to risk their life in order to reap rewards. It was precisely because of this that he became the person with the strongest means of survival in the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema.
However, Su Han immediately expelled this thought. Who was Brother Fang Leng? In the "Ghost Sacrifice" series, he was able to survive. Tang Hailan was able to survive in the first place largely thanks to Fang Leng's help. As for Ye Xiang, even if he could be daring, it still depended on his future opportunities. If he had bad luck, he might end up like Yang He, dying in the first film as the protagonist.
While Su Han was thinking about these things, they arrived at the entrance of the basement.
This is it...
Although Ye Xiang had made up his mind, his legs couldn't help but tremble when he actually arrived here. After all, he had almost died here before. If it weren't for the NG, how could he have escaped? Now, he had to return here again...
Looking at the door to the basement in front of him, as well as the glass embedded above the door, it reminded him of Yu Chen's corpse from before the NG...
After taking a deep breath, Ye Xiang took a step forward and went down. Su Han immediately followed.
However, as soon as they stepped onto the stairs leading to the basement, a strong chill swept over Ye Xiang's body. A strong sense of danger began to emerge, as if this place below was directly connected to hell!
This chill began to materialize. When Ye Xiang had already descended about five or six steps, it even made his teeth chatter.
This...
This feeling was completely different from when his body was engulfed by that gloomy aura before...

Ye Xiang had already fully realized that he had staked his life on this and was gambling for a chance at survival. However, at this moment, he had a strong premonition.
If...
If he continued like this...
He would die!
There was no hope of survival, even if he had those high heels, he would still die! No... even if Su Han was by his side, he would still die!
This strong premonition of danger was also a common trope in horror films. Just like in "Horror Bus," allowing the character "Jiang Youlin" to have the ability to see ghosts, it was not surprising for "Zhang Hua," who already had the identity of the "second male lead," to have this ability to predict danger.
Should he continue down or not?
Of course, this premonition of danger couldn't guarantee that it was correct. Everything was up to human intervention, and nothing was absolutely predetermined. Before doing something, no one could know the result.
In the end...
Should he continue down or not?
"What's wrong?" Su Han saw that Ye Xiang had stopped and asked in confusion. "Are you scared?"
Ye Xiang couldn't help but hesitate again.
Should he continue down or not?However, in the end, Ye Xiang gritted his teeth and continued to walk downwards. Although this sense of danger might have some truth to it, man proposes, God disposes, and there are no absolutes in this world. If he were to turn back now, he might temporarily avoid the risk, but when the final act comes, in the face of an unpredictable plot, he would only have one last high heel left to use. He could imagine how dire his situation would be. He could hardly think of any way he could turn the tables in such a situation.
Given this, even if the path ahead was extremely dangerous, he couldn't give up halfway. Even if he were to die, he would rather go down fighting than passively wait for death in a hopeless situation. If he were to turn back now, who knows if there would be any danger before the end of the fourth act? If there wasn't, what would he do?
Even though he had gone from being an extra to the second male lead, in the fourth act, the character Zhang Hua would undoubtedly die. This was without question. And at that time, he wouldn't be able to predict when he would die, and would be in a very passive situation.
Ye Xiang didn't like his life being dictated by fate. He would rather risk his life to control his own destiny and carve out a path to survival!
At this moment, he was heading deeper into the basement with a resolute mindset.
Once he left, he might never be able to return.
Scenes from his 25 years of life began to flash through his mind. A normal family of wage earners, kind and honest parents, Ye Xiang's life was very ordinary, without any notable ups and downs. During the college entrance examination, he was admitted to his desired economics college, and not long after graduation, he joined the company he currently works for as a financial accountant through his parents' introduction.
Many people become confused about the future due to the harsh contrast between their ideals and reality after entering society, but Ye Xiang was a very open-minded person. He was very meticulous in his thinking and didn't judge things in a simplistic and crude binary way. Moreover, he was very good at interpersonal communication, was sincere, warm-hearted, and unpretentious, so he made many friends in the workplace. He thought that his ordinary life would continue like this...
Upon reaching the last step, Ye Xiang stopped thinking about these things.
Although when doing something, one should consider failure before success, under the current circumstances, he needed to have some confidence in himself. He only had the brief ten seconds when he took out the high heel to save himself. If he failed, he would be just an ordinary person with a flesh and blood body. Even a ghost from a low-difficulty horror movie would be an existence he absolutely couldn't resist and could only wait for death.
Taking a deep breath, he cleared his mind of distractions and stepped forward.
The layout of the basement was not complicated, the corridor was rather narrow, and besides the room at the very end that was sealed off, there were other small rooms, most of which stored some food and tools, but they were all useless items, and he didn't find any clues related to the Ouyang family.
Su Han, who should have been standing in front of Ye Xiang, was somehow trembling, and in the end, he let Ye Xiang walk in front.
At this moment, Ye Xiang also slowed down his pace, vigilantly observing all the movements around him. This could be said to be the biggest crisis he had faced since being chosen by the Hell Cinema and cast into a horror movie! Even when he was almost killed in the warehouse before, he didn't have such a strong sense of crisis!
He turned the corner of the corridor in front of him and headed towards the direction of the basement room.
A cold chill began to seep into his body, unlike before, he didn't feel weak. Moreover, his mind was very clear. This undoubtedly gave him a sense of luck.
However... that coldness gave him a feeling.
That feeling... came from... that room! The room that had always been sealed off, the most mysterious room in this horror movie!
