Vol.3 - Chapter 16 – Living dead

Jiang Zhe was brought by Qian Xiaoxue. His current situation is quite worrying, and in the third act of the script, he will also be an important character who triggers a series of horrors. Most importantly, his actions afterwards are also part of the red line and must be completed.

However, Yushuo already has a systematic plan for what to do next. Of course, she cannot guarantee to save everyone, or even guarantee her own survival one hundred percent. After all, nothing in the world is absolute, and no one can guarantee absolute immortality in a real horror movie. Even Yushuo herself is the same.

Yes, even "that person" is the same...

This house is quite large, with many rooms, enough to accommodate seven people without any problem. Of course, according to the script, some people should be living on the first floor, but now no one dares to do so and everyone wants to live on the second floor.

"Take a look."

In the living room on the first floor, Yushuo took out a floor plan of the rooms and pointed to it. "I have arranged all the rooms on the second floor. There are enough rooms, so each person will have their own room. Men on the left, women on the right, and you should all know the location of the bathrooms. You should have brought your change of clothes. The latest time for taking a shower is ten o'clock at night. You can allocate the rest of the time freely. And then, according to everyone's plan, prepare your own Christmas gifts for gift exchange. I have also ordered a special Christmas package. I don't know if you have ever had Christmas turkey?"

"Really? It sounds great!" Wu Zhaotian showed a silly smile. The character he plays, Song Jun, is a straightforward person. Actually, Wu Zhaotian himself is not particularly silly, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until today. It's just that his appearance easily gives people that impression.

Li Weisi looked at the floor plan Yushuo had arranged and showed a satisfied expression. "Okay, then we'll wait until midnight to welcome Christmas on Christmas Eve. I guess not many Chinese people celebrate Western holidays like this. Most people actually celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, but it's mostly an opportunity for businesses to hold promotions."

Yushuo said, "As Chinese, it's enough to remember our roots. Celebrating holidays is just for fun, no need to think too much."

"But, Zhihui, it's not right for you to pay for dinner alone. We can all chip in together..."

"It's okay. It's rare for everyone to gather together. Next year will be the college entrance examination, and after that, we won't have many chances to gather and meet each other."

At this moment, the sky appeared even gloomier, with the hurricane raging. In the neighboring house, one could feel an even greater sense of solemnity.

After Cheng Xuesong placed her change of clothes and other items in her room, she sat on the bed. She once again reached into her pocket and touched her cursed item. In the 13th Degree Hell Cinema, Bai Yushuo, Cheng Xuesong, and Jiao Mengqi, the three women, were all very impressive. It can be said that the three women were equally outstanding. Cheng Xuesong, in particular, was very proud. This third act of the horror movie would be a real death crisis. At this moment, she didn't feel much fear, but rather excitement.

Li Weisi also had his own thoughts. Currently, the "new neighbor" has been hiding in that house, and no relevant information has been collected. Moreover, there are no clues to the cursed items in this horror movie. However, this is only a medium-difficulty horror movie. For Li Weisi, who had to pay a high rent to Ye Xiang to rent high heels without even having a cursed item, it was not easy. In terms of survival skills, he was incomparable to Bai Yushuo. However, he was a person with deep scheming, who plans before taking action, and is good at enduring. That's why he could survive until today and be appreciated by Fang Leng. Struggling to survive in this real horror movie is definitely not an easy task. He swore that no matter what means he used, he, Li Weisi, would definitely survive!

Around seven o'clock, Bai Yushuo, or An Zhihui, had already ordered the Christmas dinner for seven people. It must be said that the expense was not small, which proved that An Zhihui was quite wealthy. Bai Yushuo ordered it online using An Zhihui's bank account, and of course, she also knew the bank account number and password through the script.

Turkey, roasted meat, thick soup, salad, spaghetti, chicken legs, etc... A sumptuous dinner was placed on the table, accompanied by a well-decorated Christmas tree, creating a Christmas atmosphere. Yushuo took out a deluxe cola bottle for entertaining guests and poured cola for everyone. Li Weisi, Wu Zhaotian, and others all expressed their thanks, although it was acting, they had to put in effort in all aspects.

The seven people gathered in the living room on the first floor and started eating. There was a tough battle to fight next, and it was necessary to fill their stomachs. During this time, there were various lines of small talk, which will not be mentioned here.

During this process, Jiang Zhe's condition remained quite bad. When eating, his eyes were also vacant, and he spilled the cola several times when picking it up.

Yushuo saw this and felt some sympathy for him. According to the script, he would die for the second time tonight. Whether she could save him or not, she didn't have absolute confidence, because the person she had to protect was not only him, but also a new actress, Qian Xiaoxue.

She hoped that he could survive.

At eight o'clock, Yushuo, Li Weisi, Cheng Xuesong, and others washed the dishes together.

At eight-thirty, everyone started exchanging Christmas gifts.

At nine o'clock, they gathered together to play poker. Yushuo paid attention to the movement next door.

After that, some people started to take turns to take a shower.

Those like Li Weisi who had cursed items immediately went to take a shower, as the cursed items had to be kept away from the body during bathing. Then, Qian Xiaoxue, who didn't have a cursed item, went to shower. As for Yushuo, it didn't matter if she showered last.

At ten o'clock, everyone finished showering and went back to their rooms to prepare for sleep, as they had to get up early for school the next day.

And so, time continued to pass...At around eleven o'clock, Yushuo estimated that it was almost time. She gently pulled back a corner of the curtain and then she saw--

Jiang Zhe, stumbling and walking out, heading towards the neighboring house!

He arrived in front of the neighboring door and gently pushed it open... and went inside!

Yushuo didn't hesitate anymore. She reached out to twist the bedside lamp, but just like in the script, the lamp wouldn't turn on!

One of the most common tropes in horror movies, a power outage!

"What's going on? Is the light bulb broken?"

Yushuo immediately tried to turn on the light again at the switch, but the room remained dark! She quickly went outside and tried to turn on the lights there.

At this moment, the door of the opposite room opened, and Li Weisi, wearing a coat, came out.

"What's going on? Zhizhui?"

"Jiang Zhe, he went into the neighboring house! I don't know what will happen! That house, I feel like it's very eerie! Hurry, let's go quickly!"

What exactly is inside the neighboring house? This answer will soon be revealed, because according to the plot, Tang Yincheng and An Zhihui will enter the neighboring house to meet the so-called "new neighbor"!

Hastily putting on a few pieces of clothing, Li Weisi and Bai Yushuo rushed downstairs, and during this process, Cheng Xuesong also came out.

"What's going on?" she pushed open the door and asked, "Are you guys going out?"

"Jiang Zhe, for some reason, went into the neighboring house! Now we have to find a way to get him out! It's like he's been possessed!"

"Yes," Li Weisi also explained, "Actually... Zhizhui has been suspecting that all the people who have gone missing recently are because of the new neighbor in the neighboring house!"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Xuesong immediately asked.

After rushing out of the door, Li Weisi and Bai Yushuo walked in the front.

Finally, they could enter.

This mysterious "haunted house"!

Arriving at the door, Yushuo held onto the doorknob and pushed the door open. What came into view was a pitch-black room.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?"

Bai Yushuo began to call out. This sentence had to be said, otherwise it would be too unreasonable, after all, they were trespassing. After calling out a few times, she began to stride deeply into the house.

And at this moment, Cheng Xuesong also entered the house from behind. After the last person, Qian Xiaoxue, entered, the door suddenly slammed shut!

Another common trope in horror movies. Once in a confined space, the door will definitely close. And then, it can never be opened again.

"What's going on?" Qian Xiaoxue ran to the front and asked, "Why are we here?"

"Jiang Zhe came in." Yushuo attentively observed the dark surroundings. This house was even more spacious than An Zhihui's house. And upon entering, a sense of danger had already come over her. Although it hadn't reached the point of directly threatening their lives, it still made her feel uneasy.

And relying on her mediumistic senses, she could vaguely sense Jiang Zhe's location. She could be sure that he wasn't on the first floor.

At this moment, a scream rang out, a scream so horrifying that it made people's blood run cold!

"Second floor!"

Yushuo immediately rushed towards the stairs!

After rushing up to the second floor, she saw Jiang Zhe running out from the darkness, his hands covered in blood.

"No... no... this can't be..."

He shouted in such a distraught manner. Then, in the darkness behind him, a black figure began to appear!

That person, wrapped in a black cloak, took slow steps and appeared in everyone's line of sight. Then, suddenly, they knelt down on the ground and fell.

"Jiang Zhe? What's going on with him?"

But then, a putrid smell wafted over. Yushuo immediately walked up and pulled down the hood of the black-cloaked person, shining her phone screen on their face.

Although she had known about this from the script, Bai Yushuo still trembled all over.

It was a person who should have been dead a long time ago.

The female student who had gone missing initially!

Yushuo had seen her photo in newspapers and websites.

And she was clearly already dead. Her body had become extremely cold and stiff! Yet this corpse had just been walking in front of them!

Is this "black figure" referring to this? After being captured and killed here, the person was wrapped in this black attire, walking in this house like a living dead.

Yes, a living dead!
