Ye Xiang survived, of course, not because of his good luck.

The Soul-Calling Talisman is a one-time curse item, with a practical effect that lasts only a few seconds. However, because of its short duration, it has both advantages and disadvantages. In order to maintain balance, while this talisman has a huge drawback, it also has an advantage. In just an instant, it can possess a curse effect that is stronger than ordinary curse items for more than ten seconds. Of course, this effect is fleeting and cannot be sustained for long.

But... it was enough for Ye Xiang to escape.

However, Su Han...

The remaining three people, when they arrived at the entrance of the basement, only saw Su Han's cold body.

That brief moment was not enough to completely save his life!

At this moment, Ye Xiang was able to wear high heels again! However, Su Han was dead!

At this moment, half of his body was already outside the basement entrance, while the other half was still inside. His hand was still reaching forward, his pupils wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he had died here!

Yu Chen saw this scene and his heart was deeply affected. Filming a real horror movie was truly cruel. A living person died just like that! Unless there was another take, Su Han could not come back to life. Although it was a horror movie, it was unlikely for the plot to involve the actor becoming a ghost after death. His death meant that he was truly dead. Ye Xiang had just experienced a life and death ordeal with Yu Chen, and they had developed a sense of camaraderie. Seeing him like this, Ye Xiang was also very sad.

"How... how could this..." Yu Chen almost couldn't stand steady and finally grabbed onto the wall with his last hand.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoya suddenly rushed forward with a quick step, crouched down, and said, "How... how could he die here? How could this happen?"

At this time, Su Han had already opened his clothes, revealing the inner pocket inside. And vaguely, Zhao Xiaoya saw something inside the pocket, so she reached out and pulled it out!

It was... that painting!

Then, she immediately put the painting on herself!

"Miss Zhao..." Yu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, but he immediately realized that she must have used 50 Death Redemption Tickets to obtain ownership of the painting. It was useless to say anything now. Su Han was dead, and his cursed item naturally had to be retrieved. For the sake of "Ghost Festival 3," cursed items could not be left behind.

Zhao Xiaoya stood up and said, "This is my painting. I don't know why it was on him... but it's not important."

Of course it's "yours." Yu Chen thought, you've already spent Death Redemption Tickets to obtain ownership. He thought about it and realized that it was also good this way. At least, Zhao Xiaoya, as a newcomer actress, was quite lucky to obtain a cursed item from a deceased person. This way, she also had a chance to earn Death Redemption Tickets in this horror movie.

"I'm going crazy..." Yu Chen held his head, sat on the sofa, and looked at Ye Xiang and Zhao Xiaoya sitting on either side of the sofa. Now, only the three of them were alive.

Next, in the final act, how many more people would die?

Yu Chen had considered that he might die as well. But even if he died, he didn't want to die in such a low-level horror movie. Even if he died, he didn't want to die without closure! However... he had already died once, and died so miserably...

"What should we do?"

Yes...

What should they do?

Compared to Yu Chen, Ye Xiang, who had only experienced the second horror movie and lacked experience, was even more anxious. He was just an ordinary person, and it was impossible for him not to be afraid. However, fear couldn't solve the problem. Now, they had to use the 365 Death Redemption Tickets in their hands properly. Use them well...

But why, when they used the painting and high heels consecutively, both Ye Xiang and Su Han almost died in the basement? There was no reason for the effectiveness of cursed items to become so weak. Something must have happened.

Ye Xiang organized his thoughts.

At that time... when Hou Tianbai died, the high heels were in his pocket. In other words, maybe he didn't have time to take out the high heels before he died. And then, after Yu Chen took out the severed finger, the open door immediately closed. The cursed items were effective. They had been effective all along.

But... after taking out the severed finger, even causing it to be lost, Yu Chen still had a trump card, the bell, that he didn't take out. Yet, he still died like that. Su Han was the same, following in Yu Chen's footsteps.

And the common point between these two deaths was that they happened in the basement. In...

That sealed room nearby!

Moreover, the presence inside that room seemed to be about to break free...

As a result, Ye Xiang gradually deduced a terrifying conclusion. If that door was really broken through, perhaps the cursed items of all of them would become completely useless!

They would become powerless mortals!

After this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Xiang suddenly felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained! After all, this conclusion was too terrifying!

Because if that was the case, it meant that in the upcoming fourth act, what they would face would be a certain death situation! Unless they could endure until the moment the movie ended!The living room was suddenly silent.

"Let's rest for now." Yu Chen said in a weary voice, "If we keep going like this, we won't be able to hold on."

Who could sleep on such a night? They still slept in the living room with the lights on. However, considering the possibility of a power outage at any time, having the lights on didn't make much difference. They still had to take turns keeping watch throughout the night. Yu Chen, as the main character, volunteered to stay up.

However, no one could sleep. Not even a hint of fatigue was felt. Knowing that their lives were as fragile as a candle in the wind, thinking about the deaths of Liu Ying, Wu Jun, and Su Han, who could peacefully drift into dreamland?

Finally, the time came for the end of the third act.

The midnight chime was about to ring.

"Ah!" Zhao Xiaoya suddenly screamed, then blurted out her lines, "Over there..."

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiang, who had been dozing off with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes upon hearing the scream and asked.

"There's someone..." She pointed to a corridor in front of the living room, "Over there... I just saw a shadow pass by!"

In that instant, the living room lights plunged into darkness! Even the mobile phones of Ye Xiang and the others went completely dark! Even plugging in the charger was useless.

The villa... was completely without power!

And in that instant... the third act ended!

The script for the fourth act (the final act) began to flood into the actors' minds like a tidal wave!

To Ye Xiang's surprise, the fourth act was incredibly short! It was only two hours long!

In two hours, the movie would end! Of course, that also meant the moment when all the characters portrayed by the actors in the script would die!

On the surface, this seemed like good news, because there were only two hours left. However, Yu Chen knew very well that this was actually the most dangerous time. It meant that the next two hours would be filled with deadly traps!

The three of them could potentially all die here!

The script for the final act was given in real-time. They couldn't predict the upcoming plot, let alone the ending of the movie. But one thing was certain, all the characters would definitely die. There was absolutely no precedent in the scripts of the Hell Cinema where any character played by an actor could survive! Not even one! Otherwise, the actor could survive by following the script, even without using a death redemption ticket!

However, Yu Chen remained calm, and according to the lines that appeared in his mind, he said, "I remember there are candles in the kitchen. Go get them."

In the darkness, although he couldn't see the other two, he knew they must be nodding in agreement.

All three of them felt their way along the wall, slowly moving forward. Ye Xiang, despite his high heels, couldn't tell in the darkness whether a ghost had appeared in front of him. Therefore, they needed to get the candles as soon as possible. However, in such darkness, it was impossible to approach the kitchen.

The end of the third act didn't include a complete power outage! Otherwise, Ye Xiang would have prepared candles in advance. This made Ye Xiang reflect on his lack of thoroughness, vowing not to make such an oversight next time.

If there was a next time...

In the pitch-black villa, in the dark basement, the sealed room was slowly radiating a bone-chilling terror...
