Vol.3 - Chapter 15 – Terrifying Christmas Night

The footsteps were getting closer.

Bai Yushuo was prepared. Once the door was opened, she would immediately trigger her mediumistic ability. According to the script, she wouldn't die, so even if she survived, it wouldn't increase her redemption tickets by much. However, obtaining information was already enough for her. If she could see the true face of the ghost, she might be able to uncover its identity, such as a ghost who died unjustly decades ago. That would definitely change the situation.

Of course, if it weren't for the talismans plastered all over the house and her own mediumistic ability, she wouldn't have taken such risks. She was certain that unless she was killed before she could trigger her mediumistic ability, she wouldn't die. It was impossible to survive in a horror movie without taking risks.

Finally, the footsteps stopped outside the bedroom. A strong sense of danger immediately struck Bai Yushuo, and she pressed her body against the wall farthest from the door. She didn't turn on the lights, afraid that if she did, the terrifying atmosphere would dissipate and the ghost might not come in. After all, this was a horror movie, and the atmosphere had to be carefully crafted.

At this moment, Bai Yushuo held her breath, highly focused, and also felt a strong sense of tension. Finally, she saw the doorknob being gently turned, and then the door slowly opened.

In that instant, Yushuo suddenly had a strong sense of impending danger!

That feeling gave her the impression that if she let the door open, she would immediately go to the underworld!

Without hesitation, she immediately triggered the talisman stuck on the door!

The door was pushed open. However, there was no one outside.

Yushuo's body slowly collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, her mediumistic ability had an almost predictive sense of danger. This was something that cursed objects couldn't replace. This sense of danger had saved her life more than once. It was a major reliance that gave her the courage to do this. Bai Yushuo would never fight unprepared.

Yushuo walked out. At this moment, she was certain that she had obtained the best reason to investigate her neighbors. Even if she had to stake out for twenty-four hours, it would be reasonable and there would be no need for retakes.

Next, she lay back on the bed. In fact, if An Zhihui were a normal person, she should have moved out. However, according to the script, she was a person with an extremely strong curiosity, so she wanted to find out the truth behind everything. Therefore, Yushuo had no other choice.

After Zhao Bo left, this house should have been sold through a real estate agency. They were in a hurry to emigrate, so they had to entrust it to an agency because they couldn't find a buyer temporarily. It was unknown which agency they had found, and even if they found it, the other party wouldn't tell her who the buyer of the house was. But this was still the only clue.

However, with so many real estate agencies now, it was impossible to determine which one they had chosen. Moreover, Zhao Bo and the others hadn't given An Zhihui their contact information after they went abroad.

Currently, she still hadn't gathered the information she wanted. An Zhihui was also a mediumistic person like her, so starting from the perspective of the supernatural should be no problem. She had asked the people around her, including searching online, but she hadn't found any rumors of the house being haunted.

However, at this moment, through her mediumistic ability, she felt even more strongly that the intruder from the next door would come here again. At that time, it would be difficult to say if she could survive. Although the use of mediumistic ability didn't have a thirty-minute limit like cursed objects, frequent use had a high possibility of causing her to be possessed instead. Therefore, it was generally better not to use it too frequently.

Although ordinary people might think that a horror movie of medium difficulty wouldn't be a problem for Bai Yushuo, the reality was not so. People like her could also die.

The intruder would definitely continue to invade, and...

At that time, would she be able to survive?

Should she expel the other party first, or be possessed by the evil spirit whose true face she didn't know? And she absolutely couldn't leave this house, she would eventually have to wait for that moment. The "new neighbor" would come sooner or later. So, she needed the help of Cheng Xuesong and Li Weisi, especially Cheng Xuesong's cursed object, along with Ye Xiang's high heels.

A few days later, on Christmas Eve, they would enter the climax of this horror movie.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

After morning arrived, she returned to school.

"What did you say? Jiang Zhe didn't come to school?"

As soon as she arrived at school, Li Weisi mentioned this. Of course, she already knew about it through the script.

"Yeah, I don't know what happened." Li Weisi shrugged and said, "Also, Zhihui, everyone was excited after going to your house yesterday. They said they hope to go to your house for Christmas."

They had to go, it was a crucial part of the script. So, even knowing the danger, they would still go to An Zhihui's house on Christmas Eve.

And before that day arrived, these few days would be the safe period according to the script.

"I called Jiang Zhe, and he said he would come too. But his voice sounded strange, I don't know what happened last night."Yushuo also wanted to know what had happened when he entered that house yesterday, why it felt as if his soul had been sucked away. But now, it was pointless to talk about it. Everything would depend on tonight.

That noon, the sky was overcast, and a heavy rain had started to pour. All of this seemed to foreshadow the terrifying events that would occur tonight.

Cheng Xuesong remained silent as ever. Wu Zhaotian and Zhu Dingjun also didn't have much to say. Qian Xiaoxue, surprisingly, offered fifty death redemption tickets to secure Bai Yushuo's protection. Inside the house, talismans had been arranged in advance.

In the end, after discussing in the cafeteria, everyone became more and more excited, even deciding to spend Christmas Eve together at An Zhihui's house to accompany her. The parents of the others all agreed to this. Naturally, this was all part of the script and would naturally fall into place. Tonight, everyone would be like prey caught in a spider's web, waiting for either death or rebirth. This was especially true for the new actors.

The Thirteenth Degree Hell Cinema.

The movie had been playing for over an hour. In the public lounge, some people started to play chess or poker to pass the time, while others returned to their rooms. In the previous hour, most people had analyzed quite a few things related to the movie, but they knew too little.

Ye Xiang and Wen Yufan were in the restaurant. Ye Xiang brewed some coffee for her to taste. The two of them were quite familiar with each other now.

"Let's wish for Yushuo's safe return." Ye Xiang, tasting the bitter coffee, could only pray and wish at this moment.

In front of Wen Yufan, there was a pile of posters for the horror film "The New Neighbor". Most of the posters were of that strange house, and it was unclear what was inside.

For Wen Yufan, she had always been evading her life choices. Unable to establish interpersonal relationships, she gave up and did what she wanted to do alone, gradually becoming out of sync with others. She hated this about herself and wanted to make some changes. But she always found it hard to take that step.

To her, Bai Yushuo was a person with a personality almost opposite to hers. She was very popular, warm-hearted, and had a positive attitude towards everything. Therefore, Wen Yufan couldn't help but pay attention to her.

"Ye Xiang," Wen Yufan suddenly said, "Maybe you're right. My second horror film, working with Sister Yushuo, might be a lucky thing for me."

Ye Xiang had a certain understanding of Wen Yufan. Her family environment made her lack confidence when facing others. When facing adversity, she always hesitated to challenge it. Although she had dreams, she dared not speak them out loud in front of others, but only dared to do it silently by herself, immersed in her own sadness. But now, seeing Bai Yushuo, her heart was moved. You know, for a rich young lady who has lived a privileged life, becoming an actress in this cinema is a desperate thing. Not only will she never have a princess-like life in the future, she will not be adored like a star, but she will have to fight for her own survival with her own hands. How difficult is that? Yet she did it, and she did it the best.

"If you persist, you can become like her too," Ye Xiang suddenly said. "What she can do, you can do too."

"Me?" Looking at Bai Yushuo on the poster, Wen Yufan's eyes were full of confusion. "Can I... really? Can I be like Sister Yushuo?"

The brief moment when Ye Xiang and Wen Yufan were drinking coffee, in the world of the horror film "The New Neighbor", had finally reached its climax.

Christmas Eve had arrived.

These days, people were disappearing almost every day. And Jiang Zhe was still acting strangely. If you forced him to talk, he would show a look of fear.

Yushuo and the other actors arrived home in the evening. Jiang Zhe also came. However, his eyes were dark, as if he hadn't slept well, and his face was getting paler and paler. Who knew what he would turn into. It was hard to tell if he was acting or not.

Tonight, the "new neighbor" would invade again.

Yushuo had made the most thorough preparations. More than twenty talismans were properly pasted in the house. To avoid arousing suspicion, she covered each talisman with an anime poster she bought from a street stall.

Upon entering the house, the first thing that caught the eye was those posters.

"Naruto? Bleach? Zhihui, how did you put up so many anime posters in one day?" Li Weisi asked knowingly.

"Just for fun."

At this moment, Yushuo had made up her mind.

No matter how this horror film ended... she must survive!
