"I want to think about it for a while. Qi Qingqing, come back to me in a few days."

Ye Xiang is not an idiot. It's not just Qi Qingqing who wants to rent high heels from him. Since that's the case, why rush to rent them out? Besides, as Jiao Mengqi said, he doesn't really understand the market, so even without her, Ye Xiang wouldn't have agreed to rent them out immediately.

Actually, the most important point is that Ye Xiang doesn't trust Qi Qingqing very much. With her clumsy personality, it's hard to say if she can handle these high heels properly.

"You..." Qi Qingqing, of course, doesn't know what Ye Xiang is thinking. She thinks that Jiao Mengqi is causing trouble and glares at her angrily. However, Jiao Mengqi has saved her life and she will need to rely on her in the future, so she can't be too harsh with her words. In the end, she can only stomp her foot in frustration and leave.

Jiao Mengqi immediately reveals a cold smile as she watches Qi Qingqing's figure. Then, her gaze turns towards Ye Xiang, making him feel as if he's being stared at by a venomous snake.

"Miss Jiao, thank you for the reminder earlier." Ye Xiang hasn't had much conversation with Jiao Mengqi recently, but when facing her alone, he naturally maintains his manners. After all, she is a very experienced senior. As for her strange personality, Ye Xiang doesn't mind. He is good at socializing and has dealt with all kinds of people, so he knows how to handle situations smoothly.

"It's nothing. I just don't like that woman." Jiao Mengqi continues to maintain her cold smile as she walks towards Ye Xiang. When she passes by him, she suddenly leans her face towards him and speaks in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "You're quite capable. Yu Chen is dead, but you managed to come back alive."

"It's just luck." Ye Xiang is not affected by her strange tone and answers calmly, "Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to save others."

"Here's some advice for you." Jiao Mengqi suddenly says something strange, "Be careful of Li Weisi. You will be co-starring with him in your next movie, if I'm not mistaken."

Ye Xiang's heart trembles, but his expression remains unchanged as he nods slightly.

"I will remember."

Jiao Mengqi stops speaking and leaves straight away.

Be careful of Li Weisi? What does she mean?

Li Weisi, who is said to be a college student and younger than himself, always appears confident. Although he doesn't have a cursed item, Fang Leng clearly trusts him a lot. He even planned to give him the high heels last time. However, Ye Xiang has vaguely felt that there might be something wrong with Li Weisi.

What could be the problem?

Next, he decides to visit the actors who will be co-starring with him in "Ghost Hotel" to prepare for the various props they will need. The cursed items are limited, so they will definitely need to borrow them. At that time, he should ask Fang Leng or Cheng Xuesong for help, as Jiao Mengqi's cursed tattoo cannot be borrowed.

Speaking of which, he only knows that Fang Leng has two cursed items, one of which is the "Voodoo Doll," while the other is a mystery. As for Cheng Xuesong, everyone has a somewhat respectful attitude towards her, but most people have a good impression of her, unlike Jiao Mengqi. Privately, they call Cheng Xuesong the "Snow Queen." She has a very proud personality and doesn't talk much, but she always exudes strong confidence and self-esteem.

Whether it's Fang Leng or Cheng Xuesong, their cursed items won't come cheap.

Originally, he planned to go directly to Li Weisi, but after hearing Cheng Xuesong's words, he decides to visit Mo Qiushi first.

In this movie theater, besides the screening hall, there are also some public lounges and quiet private rooms. One of the spacious public lounges is on the second floor.

At this moment, Li Weisi is in this public lounge.

"Yue Kangxiong..." Li Weisi holds the poster of "Ghost Hotel" in his hand, looking thoughtful.

The lounge is about two to three hundred square meters, with several ornamental plants placed around. The lighting inside is still dim, and there is no place in this movie theater with sufficient light.

Because of this, the colors on the poster in front of him also appear dull, and the shadows in the dark corners of the poster give a sense of unease.

Sitting across from him is Shi Qingxiu, who wears a pair of thick glasses that make her look uneasy.

"Who should we borrow from?" Shi Qingxiu looks at Li Weisi with anticipation.

She knows very well that Li Weisi is a strategic person, and his reaction and thinking are no less than Fang Leng's. However, he willingly submits to Fang Leng and rarely speaks, so some actors easily overlook him, especially because of his young age.

"Let's share." Li Weisi folds the poster and puts it aside, saying these three words.

Shi Qingxiu is slightly stunned, but then she understands and pushes her glasses up her nose. "Mo Qiushi seems to have the same idea. But I didn't expect you to agree as well."

"It's a last resort. Whether it's Fang Leng or Cheng Xuesong, the price for renting any of their cursed items is too high. Especially Fang Leng's... 2000 death redemption tickets is just the starting price."

"Yes... that's right... Cheng Xuesong is the same. I'm afraid it will cost at least 1500 death redemption tickets..."

"So, we can only share. If Mo Qiushi agrees, then it's easy. Wu Zhaotian doesn't have much savings, Ye Xiang already has high heels, and you, me, and Mo Qiushi each contribute 600-700 death redemption tickets. Depending on the situation, we can take turns using them. And with Yue Kangxiong, he should be able to lighten our burden. Since Hell's Eighth Degree Cinema bought the shroud from 'that person' after they bought 'The Fourth Forbidden Zone 5,' they have become more and more demanding."

"That person..." Shi Qingxiu has never seen that person. But she knows that that person is a true madman.There were two people who had seen him in person at the Thirteenth Degree Hell Cinema.

One was Fang Leng. The other... was Jiao Mengqi!

"Speaking of which... I heard from Fang Leng that Jiao Mengqi turned out the way she is now because of 'that person'," Li Weisi said, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Shi Qingxiu quickly waved her hand and said, "I know, let's not talk about that."

"You should be glad that Jiao Mengqi isn't here. Otherwise, I'm not sure she wouldn't snap your neck on the spot."

"Is it... is it that serious?"

Shi Qingxiu shivered slightly at this.

"Alright, we've decided. Let's go find Mo Qiushi, and then... go see Cheng Xuesong."

"Cheng Xuesong? Not Fang Leng? Do you think her price is more reasonable?"

"Compare three before you buy." Li Weisi picked up the horror movie poster. "Our priority is to increase our survival means as much as possible while saving money."

Meanwhile, in Mo Qiushi's room.

"Renting together?" Ye Xiang wasn't surprised at all. He asked Mo Qiushi, "So it's you, Shi Qingxiu, and Li Weisi who are pooling together to buy the redemption tickets?"

"Yes." Mo Qiushi pointed at Ye Xiang. "Of course, not including you. You already have the high heels."

"Yes, I know."

"You don't need to be too nervous. This time, there are people from the Eighth Degree Hell Cinema. We've had some dealings with them before. However, only Yue Kangxiong and Longnier are familiar names. The others might be new actors."

"This horror film might still be a mystery." Ye Xiang speculated, "Judging from the movie title, it's all about things happening in a hotel, and we're most likely playing the guests staying in the hotel. Our characters wouldn't knowingly stay in a haunted hotel, and the hotel staff wouldn't publicize it if they knew it was haunted. So, due to lack of information, a mystery plot will definitely arise."

Mo Qiushi nodded in agreement with Ye Xiang's thoughts, although she hadn't thought that far.

"Lack of information is the biggest problem when acting in a horror film. I'm somewhat experienced, and in such situations, actively gathering information is the most important. You can't skimp on redemption tickets. The two horror films you've acted in were limited by location and environment, leading to a lack of information sources. But at first glance, this 'Ghost Hotel' won't limit our information gathering too much. Of course... you have to remember, you're a character in the movie. Your actions to gather information need to align with your character's logic. If you're just an ordinary hotel guest, who would randomly start gathering information about whether the hotel is haunted? In other words, you can only start after you've witnessed a haunting."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me for a moment," Mo Qiushi said, standing up.

When she opened the door, Li Weisi and Shi Qingxiu were standing outside.

"Hmm? You're here too?" Shi Qingxiu noticed Ye Xiang immediately. Li Weisi also glanced at Ye Xiang, his gaze lingering for a moment before turning to Mo Qiushi.

"Let's go."

"Where to?"

"To Cheng Xuesong. We need to talk to her and Fang Leng separately. With a comparison, neither of them should quote too outrageous a price. We also need to consider cost-effectiveness."

Mo Qiushi frowned slightly. "The new film premieres at the end of the month. Isn't it too early to go now?"

"We're just testing the waters, discussing a bit. I'm sure, whether it's Fang Leng or Cheng Xuesong, they're both waiting for us to approach them."

Mo Qiushi felt that made sense, so she nodded.

"Alright. Cheng Xuesong should be at the restaurant at this time."

Then she turned to Ye Xiang. "You should go back to your room, Ye Xiang. Also, if you're planning to rent out the high heels, discuss it with us. After all, your high heels will be an important asset for us."

"I understand." Ye Xiang had wanted to discuss this with Mo Qiushi, but now he couldn't bring it up.

After leaving Mo Qiushi's room, he was planning to ask someone how much he should charge for renting the high heels. Just then, he saw Wen Yufan coming out of her room.

Their eyes met, and both of them stopped in their tracks, staring at each other.
