Li Weisi, from the first glance at this young boy who looked less than twenty years old, Ye Xiang could tell that he was not an ordinary person. He always maintained a calm and composed expression, and occasionally used a wise gaze to scrutinize others. Although they didn't have much contact, Ye Xiang vaguely felt that Li Weisi was not an ordinary person.
"Weisi knows how to maximize the use of death redemption tickets. He is a very important person in our Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema." Fang Leng continued to explain, "So, he will be in charge of the rent. As long as your price is not too high, I will negotiate with him."
After careful consideration, Ye Xiang said, "I understand. The rental price... 400 death redemption tickets. That's my bottom line."
Death redemption tickets meant life, and 400 of them were definitely not a lot.
"Alright. This price is acceptable."
Fang Leng breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, 400 death redemption tickets were much lower than he had expected. He thought that Ye Xiang would at least ask for 800, and then they would negotiate and lower the price. However, Ye Xiang was very clever. Although it seemed like he had suffered a loss on the surface, he gained the goodwill of Fang Leng and the others. This favor would naturally be repaid in the future.
Leaving room for maneuver was an important principle for Ye Xiang in dealing with things.
"This is my room. You can rest here for now." Fang Leng's expression relaxed a lot. "After you rest well, we will officially go through the rental procedures for the cursed items in the cinema tomorrow, and the 400 death redemption tickets will be transferred to you immediately."
Then, Fang Leng paused and said, "Ye Xiang, no matter what, you are already my recognized partner! Behind you are all the actors of our Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema!"
Ye Xiang also felt Fang Leng's sincerity. This man indeed had a side that could move people's hearts.
Wen Yufan stood behind Fang Leng, looking at Ye Xiang. Her lips moved a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
At this moment, Ye Xiang turned his gaze to Wen Yufan and said with some seriousness, "Thank you, Miss Wen, no matter what."
He remembered that Wen Yufan had saved him.
Wen Yufan nodded slightly and said, "It's nothing. As long as you're okay."
And that night, many people found it difficult to fall asleep.

When Mo Qiushi returned to her room, Yin Shuitian and Shi Qingxiu were already waiting there. After Mo Qiushi closed the door, she sat down.
"How is the situation?" Shi Qingxiu showed a hint of nervousness. "Did Ye Xiang agree?"
Shi Qingxiu herself didn't have any cursed items, so for her at this moment, the high heels that Ye Xiang brought out naturally became her last straw.
"He agreed, but he wants 400 death redemption tickets as rent. Fang Leng just told me." Li Weisi showed no surprise on his face, and his left hand's fingers tapped his knee meaninglessly. Shi Qingxiu, on the other hand, clearly showed a disappointed expression. She also knew that she probably wouldn't get the high heels, but this also meant that her life safety in "Ghost Sacrifice 3" was at stake!
"Don't be too disappointed." Mo Qiushi looked at Shi Qingxiu. "Don't you know Fang Leng's character? He will do his best to protect us. In fact, I am more worried about Yin Shuitian and Wei Lan."
Li Weisi sneered, "Yin Shuitian is not simple. Fang Leng is a good person, but he is too soft-hearted. He always adheres to the principle of not offending others if they don't offend him. He doesn't know that once there is a conflict of interest between the two sides, it's not a matter of who offends whom. Yin Shuitian's ideas are also that piece of parchment! We should find a way to deal with them!"
"Really?" Shi Qingxiu asked in confusion, "In horror movies, our biggest enemies are the ghosts and spirits, followed by the actors from other cinemas, right?"
Shi Qingxiu was also a very shrewd actress. She naturally knew that what Li Weisi said was indeed correct. But to be honest, in "Ghost Sacrifice 3", it was already difficult enough to survive, let alone be on guard against other actors. Moreover, in her opinion, actors should act according to the logic of their characters, otherwise it would definitely cause NG. Even if Yin Shuitian wanted to plot against them, where would he start?
"No..." Mo Qiushi looked at Li Weisi's face, which appeared slightly blurred in the tea steam, and said, "He has a point. Qingxiu, you haven't seen Yin Shuitian, so you think that way. This man is as formidable as 'that person' from Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema."As soon as "that person" was mentioned, Shi Qingxiu's body trembled involuntarily! The notorious name of "that person" was so terrifying that even now, she dared not speak his name!
"No way? Yin Shuitian, no matter how powerful he is, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?"
"None of those who survived the 'Fourth Forbidden Zone' movie series are easy to deal with." Li Weisi glanced at Shi Qingxiu beside him. "Yin Shuitian is likely to become a major threat to our Hell Thirteenth Cinema in the future."
At the same time, in the Hell Thirteenth Cinema, inside the fifth screening hall.
In the dim light, Fang Leng lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, looking at the pitch-black movie screen.
Yu Chen, Su Han, Hou Tianbai... they were all dead...
Fang Leng recalled the scenes related to these three people, especially Yu Chen, whom he trusted very much. Unfortunately, he was also dead...
At this moment, a face leaned over from the back row and took the cigarette from his hand.
"Here, it's time to drink a cup of hot cocoa. Smoking is harmful to your health!"
Bai Yushuo smiled and handed Fang Leng a paper cup filled with hot cocoa. Fang Leng took the cup and turned around, saying, "How did you know I would come here?"
"Tomorrow, 'Ghost Festival 3' will be screened in this hall. In order to prevent everyone from getting nervous again, we didn't hold any pre-war meetings, as you suggested. So, you came here alone to smoke?"
Speaking of this, Bai Yushuo's smile also faded, and her expression became gloomy. "I know that the deaths of Yu Chen and the others have had a great impact on you. Not only were they your valued companions, but you also lost many cursed items. Although Ye Xiang promised to rent us the high heels, it's still just a drop in the bucket. If you're feeling sad, don't bear it alone. Friends are meant to support each other in times like this."
A hint of confusion appeared in Fang Leng's eyes. After a long while, he said, "You should know that they all regarded me as an important pillar of support. I can't show this kind of expression in front of them."
Bai Yushuo brought the cup to her lips and took a sip of the hot cocoa before saying, "Actually, you're carrying too much burden. Sometimes, we are willing to share some of it with you. Qiu Shi, Wei Si, and I... we can all do it."
Fang Leng fell silent and, after a long time, took a sip of the hot cocoa in front of him.
Then, he suddenly said, "What do you think of Ye Xiang?"
"Well, you mean him? Both times in the horror movies, the protagonists died while he, a supporting character, survived. Especially in 'Imprisoned Room,' although luck played a part, he is indeed extraordinary. It seems that you have intentions to cultivate him?"
"For now, he does have some potential. Especially when he bid 400 death redemption tickets, it was beyond my expectations. You should know that the high heels in his possession are what we desperately want. However, he deliberately offered this price, indicating that he has lofty ambitions. He clearly realizes that death redemption tickets are equally important to us. If we spend too much with him and encounter problems in 'Ghost Festival 3,' there will inevitably be a rift between us. In the future, he may still need to borrow cursed items from us and cooperate with our team to survive in the cinema... He is considering the long-term, which most people cannot do. Even if he had offered 1000 death redemption tickets, I wouldn't be surprised."
Bai Yushuo smiled slightly.
"It's the first time I've heard you speak so highly of someone. It seems that you didn't have such a good opinion of me at first, right?"
Bai Yushuo recalled the first time she met Fang Leng.
Before entering the Hell Thirteenth Cinema, Bai Yushuo was a true rich young lady. According to the current saying, she was a second-generation rich. Her father was the CEO of Sun Real Estate, a famous real estate company in China, with assets worth billions. She had lived a life of luxury since childhood and never had to worry about her livelihood. In the eyes of the common people in China, second-generation rich were often associated with arrogance and domineering behavior, but Bai Yushuo was not like that. She was low-key and disliked showing off her wealth. Her biggest dream was to become a movie star. Her father, knowing the dark side of the entertainment industry, had repeatedly advised her against it and wanted her to study abroad. However, Bai Yushuo was determined. No matter what, she couldn't abandon her dream of becoming a star.
As a result, after she decided to apply to a famous performing arts school in Beijing and received the acceptance letter, on the first day of reporting, she accidentally picked up a horror movie poster. And so... she "fulfilled" her dream of "making movies." Because she had always longed to act and had been honing her acting skills, she played her role well in her first horror film, despite the initial fear.That time, Fang Leng co-starred with her in a horror film. At that time, he noticed that this new female actress was very calm and had outstanding acting skills. Not only was her performance natural, without any trace of deliberate effort, but she also survived by her wit and even obtained a cursed object from the deceased! Of course, that cursed object was later lost in the "Fourth Forbidden Zone" series, but it also established her as a medium. Up to now, she has become an important actress in the Thirteenth Degree Cinema of Hell. Even Jiao Mengqi wouldn't dare to openly offend her.
"Fang Leng," Yu Shuo suddenly said, "No matter what, you must... come back alive tomorrow."
Fang Leng's eyes flickered with a hint of sharpness, and then, he drank more than half of the hot cocoa.
"Of course. I... will definitely come back alive!"
