At this time, it was already past seven in the evening. The sky was completely dark, and in the room, everyone was working on the same test paper. They had agreed to finish the test by half past seven and then start grading. This was a requirement of the script, so everyone had no choice.
Fortunately, although there was a "haunted house" next door, all the actors of this horror film were gathered here, so they could feel a little relieved.
"Um, I, I need to go to the bathroom."
At this moment, Qian Xiaoxue stood up and looked at the other actors, saying. Bai Yushuo immediately looked up and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Qian Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment. These people in front of her were all experienced actors. Shouldn't someone accompany her? Was she worried that she would lose redemption points? It couldn't be that stingy, right? She actually didn't want to go, but mainly because going to the bathroom this time according to the script didn't pose a life-threatening danger. She wanted to save some redemption points as much as possible. This was the first horror film, and it was also the only opportunity for actors to advance their remuneration with redemption points.
However, Qian Xiaoxue had no idea that as long as she stayed within three hundred meters of herself, even if something happened to her, even if she stayed in this room, Yushuo would have enough confidence to save her life and quickly rush to her side to rescue her! This was the power of a spiritual medium. Ordinary cursed objects had no way of exerting their effects over long distances. For Bai Yushuo, as long as someone had physical contact with her within a range of three hundred meters, she could immediately sense it and protect them!
"What's wrong? Didn't you see where the bathroom was just now? Go ahead. Are you afraid of the dark? Nothing will happen."
When Qian Xiaoxue heard Bai Yushuo say the five words "nothing will happen," she realized that she might be hinting at herself, after all, these were lines that were not in the script. So, gritting her teeth, she stepped out of the room.
The bathroom was at the end of the corridor in front of her, a bit far from the light. She walked cautiously. Recalling the contents of the script, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. However, since the female lead promised her "nothing will happen," she couldn't appear too weak. At this point, she had fully accepted that she had to shoot a real horror film and play a role in the cruel reality. In that case, she had to adapt.
She pushed up her glasses and took a deep breath, then started to walk towards the bathroom as naturally as possible.
Entering the spacious bathroom, she closed the door and took off her pants, sitting on the toilet. Speaking of which, she did need to pee at this time, perfectly in line with the time in the script. Sleep, excretion, even normal physiological phenomena of a person, could all be completely controlled by the script. Thinking back to the horror she experienced after picking up the poster, Qian Xiaoxue couldn't help but shudder. At that time, her head was smashed to pieces by a huge hammer, but she still had consciousness. As her head was smashed to pieces again and again, even her eyeballs were ejected, her eyes still watching her head being smashed into a pile of flesh. Only when she was willing to accept all the rules and clauses of the Hell Movie Theater was she allowed to die and be resurrected, her head restored to its original state. However, if she violated the rules, she would still end up with her head smashed to pieces. Now, she believed even more that this terrifying movie theater could definitely make this happen.
Then, she began to hear a strange sound.
That sound, sounded extremely heavy, like it was pounding in her heart. It was exactly as described in the script, as if... someone was chopping the flesh off a body with a big knife.
Of course, it couldn't be anything like ribs. Thinking of the terrifying scene of her head being smashed by a hammer, Qian Xiaoxue couldn't help but imagine such a scene. There was someone, using a knife, constantly chopping off the flesh of a corpse...
The outer wall of this bathroom was less than five meters away from the neighboring house, so it was very quiet around here, and she could hear it clearly.
And that sound was getting louder and louder, as if it was right next to her ear!
As long as Qian Xiaoxue thought that there was an evil spirit chopping the flesh of a person just a few meters away from her, she felt goosebumps all over her body. She absolutely didn't doubt that there were really ghosts in this world!
To be honest, in terms of mental resilience, Qian Xiaoxue was not weaker than Ye Xiang when he first entered the "Horror Bus". However, compared to Ye Xiang, she was much weaker in courage. After all, she was still a girl...
"What, what is this sound?" According to the script, she said the only line in this bathroom. Although she had read the script for the second scene and knew that nothing would happen to her, the sound still shook her to the core. Moreover, this pee was unexpectedly much longer than she had imagined, and the script naturally didn't give an exact time. Fortunately, it was almost done.After finally finishing, she stood up and casually tore off a roll of toilet paper. Just then, the sound suddenly stopped. Then, a new sound rang out.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
It sounded like someone was using their hands to knock on the wall. The sound was getting closer, making her hair stand on end.
Qian Xiaoxue finished washing her hands, pulled up her pants, and left the restroom. She walked into the study and said, "Um... An Zhihui, I heard some strange noises from the next room..."
"What?" Yushuo looked up, showing a puzzled expression.
At this point, Qian Xiaoxue didn't need to act anymore. She completely revealed a terrified expression, pointing outside and saying, "Next door, it's strange, it sounds like someone is chopping meat... and then I heard the sound of knocking on the wall."
"Don't make a big deal out of it." Poor Zhu Dingjun, who played Zhang Yun, finally had a line, "Maybe someone is chopping meat to eat late at night."
"No, that sound is strange. If it's chopping meat, it seems... forget it, I can't explain it. It just feels weird."
"Let's finish the exam papers quickly." Yushuo pointed to her spot and said, "We're almost done."
At the moment, Bai Yushuo did not sense any danger. The so-called danger did not refer to whether there was a ghost around. Danger referred to when the ghost posed a threat to their lives. If there was no intention to kill them, then there would be no sense of danger. This was also the convenience of having a medium physique. Sometimes, using cursed objects might not necessarily determine if they were in a dangerous state, and they might end up wasting unnecessary redemption tickets.
Chopping meat... knocking on the wall...
Coupled with the voice of the dead girl... the black, black figure...
It was already 7:30, and everyone began correcting the exam papers. The script did not mention the specific scores of everyone, as it was too difficult to control, unless you cheated. Anyway, it was an irrelevant detail and didn't need to be concerned about. After finishing, the person with the highest score was Tang Yincheng, followed by An Zhihui.
"Phew..." Then An Zhihui said, "Alright, next, everyone should point out their mistakes, and those who got it right should explain. Try to provide some targeted content."
"Okay, I'll go first..." Zhu Dingjun had the lowest score. He was originally from the countryside and only had a technical school education. The knowledge he had learned had long been returned to the teachers. Although he had forcibly stuffed high school math knowledge into his mind this time, he still couldn't understand it. He couldn't even remember the formulas for trigonometric functions, let alone the more complex geometric theorems. Zhu Dingjun pointed to one of the questions and said, "Um, this geometry problem..."
"I'll explain this one." Yushuo looked over and immediately began analyzing the solution to this problem. Mathematics was her strong suit, especially geometric proofs. This was mainly because Yushuo was good at logical deduction, and because she had good math grades. Her teacher had once advised her to take the science track, but Yushuo preferred performing and ultimately chose to apply to an art school. After all, talent did not represent one's dreams.
After explaining for a while, suddenly, Wu Zhaotian and Jiang Zhe's stomachs started growling one after another. Instantly, both of them showed embarrassed expressions. As expected, just like in the script, their stomachs automatically growled at this time.
Feeling that even their own bodies were completely controlled by the script was really not a good feeling.
"Weren't you guys supposed to come after having dinner?" Yushuo immediately looked up at them, then seemed to understand something, "Could it be that you just grabbed a few bites?"
"Because we're a bit pressed for time," Wu Zhaotian rubbed his head, "I just bought some bread to fill my stomach."
As for Jiang Zhe, he said, "I... haven't really eaten much."
"That won't do." Yushuo put down her books and said, "I'll make something for you to eat. I'll boil some noodles. There's instant noodles in the fridge, I'll go get them."
"This... how can we accept this..." Wu Zhaotian quickly said, "We..."
"You guys are guests, it's only right for me to prepare food for you. You can discuss the remaining questions yourselves, I'll go prepare it."
So, Yushuo went to the kitchen on the first floor. She placed the pot on the gas stove and started boiling water.
At this moment, as she passed by the window, she couldn't help but look towards the window of the opposite house!
Inside that window, it was still pitch black. And because of the angle, it wasn't very clear. At this moment, An Zhihui, due to Qian Xiaoxue's words, became uneasy and paid special attention.However, from here, it seemed like nothing had happened. But with the light from the kitchen, she could vaguely see the black cloak hanging on the coat rack.
Just then, a hand landed on Yu Shuo's shoulder.
"Ah!" She immediately showed a look of fear, turning her head, only to see that the person standing behind her was Li Weisi.
Of course, the fear was feigned. She knew in advance that Li Weisi would come down. If it wasn't for the act, even if she were really touched by a ghost, she wouldn't be so scared.
"Let me help you." Li Weisi still showed that affectionate expression, demonstrating his acting skills: "Were you... scared just now?"
"Yes, a little."

"You were looking outside just now. Did Qian Xiaoxue's words affect you?"
Yu Shuo turned her head back. At this moment, looking out the window, her eyes widened in an instant.
The black cloak that was on the coat rack was gone!
