"There are forty-five minutes left until the end of the movie," Fang Leng said, pulling up his sleeve to check his watch.

At that moment, Jiao Mengqi finished her beer and looked around with a disdainful gaze. "It's such a waste if Bai Yushuo dies in a low-difficulty horror movie," she said, crossing her legs.

"Xuesong is here too," Fang Leng added. "Even 'that person' has heard of her."

When Jiao Mengqi mentioned "that person," her indifferent eyes quickly filled with intense hatred. Her hand holding the beer trembled.

"Fang Leng, you're probably the only one who dares to mention 'that person' in front of me," Jiao Mengqi said, her face twisted with undisguised killing intent.

"I've said it before... We can't offend 'that person'," Fang Leng said nonchalantly. "Even if Yushuo and I see him, we wouldn't dare say much. If you act recklessly, you'll only..."

"That's why I've said it. I will draw a clear line between us. We are only in a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. So, if 'that person' doesn't blame you, if you're so worried, just kill me. Don't put on that hypocritical face anymore!"

"Jiao Mengqi," Mo Qiushi, sitting on the opposite sofa, interlocked her fingers and locked her cold eyes on the black-skinned woman overflowing with killing intent. "Are you still not awake? We need to survive, and we have to rely on 'that person'. As long as he gives the order, no movie theater will dare to trade with us again! Not only that, we will become enemies of all movie theaters! At that time, many people will be willing to kill you and present themselves to 'that person'! We struggled to survive in hell, and it was not easy to get to where we are today. We can't fall into multiple crises because of you!"

Jiao Mengqi finished her beer coldly and said, "After that, no matter the outcome, I will die. After I die, you won't have these troubles anymore."

"I am responsible for all the actors in Hell's Thirteenth Degree," Fang Leng said angrily. "Don't you understand? We don't have the ability to fight against 'that person'!"

However, at this moment, Fang Leng suddenly saw the beer glass in Jiao Mengqi's hand flying towards his face. He quickly dodged, and the glass shattered against the wall behind him.

"You..." Fang Leng stood up in anger, but Jiao Mengqi waved her hand.

"When Yushuo comes back, tell her. The coffee she brewed is good, but next time, she should add some cream for me." Then, Jiao Mengqi ignored Fang Leng and walked away.

Fang Leng sat back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

"Did I do something wrong? Survival is really difficult."

After contemplating for a while, Mo Qiushi said, "Shouldn't we tell Yushuo about this? She's very smart and has already guessed some clues. Should we continue hiding it from her?"

"Let's continue hiding it," Fang Leng rubbed his forehead. "Besides Jiao Mengqi, the only people who know about this are you, me, and Weisi. This is my choice. 'That person' is too terrifying, and we can't offend him even a bit. Reality is not a fairy tale. As the leader of this team, I have to consider the team's interests. Surviving is always the top priority. But I know Yushuo's personality. If she finds out about this..."

Meanwhile, in the horror movie "New Neighbor," the cooldown time was slowly approaching.

Cheng Xuesong had already made up her mind.

The cooldown time was less than a minute.

Find the original at "pawread.com".

The chilling air began to condense, and Yushuo, still unconscious, was in Li Weisi's arms. The others all looked tense, even Wu Zhaotian became quiet.

Finally... the time was up!

Cheng Xuesong whispered, "I'll go out and take a look."

Then, she went to the entrance of the attic, put down the ladder, and went down. Li Weisi quickly pulled up the ladder.

Cheng Xuesong leaned against the wall, reached into her pocket, and grabbed the ghost bone. Pressing it against the wall, she moved forward slowly.

She wouldn't forget the words that person had whispered in her ear: "I really like you. I hope to see you again."

If the content of those words were made public, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. But Cheng Xuesong, with her proud personality, didn't care about intimidating others with the favor of "that person." She had an inherent pride.

Passing through two corridors, she looked at the anime posters plastered everywhere, all of them with talismans. However, it was impossible to use them until Bai Yushuo woke up. And once Bai Yushuo fell into a coma, unless she woke up naturally, even if all her respiratory organs were blocked, she wouldn't wake up automatically.

I should be close by now...

She didn't know if there was already an evil spirit on the other side of the corridor. After all, she didn't have the mediumistic ability to predict this.

Cursed objects always had a certain distance limit, and the data on this distance was lacking. The information publicly sold by Hell Cinema was very chaotic. Some said it could reach up to a hundred meters, but who knew if it was true or false? There were so many people selling fake information for redemption tickets. Can you take responsibility if someone dies?

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of her eye. She immediately took out the ghost bone and aimed it at the shadow!After seeing clearly, the black shadow instantly fell to the ground, revealing a dead person wearing a black cloak!

It's not the ghost!

She immediately rushed around the corner of the corridor, holding the ghost bone high and rushing everywhere! And then, the temperature on the ghost bone became even colder. If Bai Yushuo was here, she would be able to hear the screams of the ghost souls being sacrificed on the ghost bone!

If this continues, it may lead to the resurrection of the curse!

She could only put away the bone! She didn't know if it had any effect.

At this moment, in front of her was the staircase to the first floor. There, it was empty. However, it made people feel a chilling sensation.

Cheng Xuesong's chest rose and fell continuously, and she began to slowly retreat. The hidden things in the darkness were waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, she felt a black hood covering her, the black cloak draped over her body! Then, she felt a "person" behind her blowing a cold breath, blowing onto her back!

At this moment, the breath of death descended!

In this instant, Cheng Xuesong finally realized that she had no other choice, so she murmured an unintelligible spell.

Cheng Xuesong was able to become famous in the entire 20 Degrees Hell Cinema, just like Fang Leng and Bai Yushuo. How could she rely solely on this ghost bone? Although it was a curse item of the highest difficulty, she was not the only one in the entire 20 Degrees Cinema who possessed such a curse item. What truly made her famous was that she was one of the very few people who had a ghost planted inside her by "that person"!

At this moment, her eyes became blank and lifeless. Then, strands of hair began to appear in her mouth, and her entire mouth started to bulge. It formed the shape of an "o"!

If there was someone present at this time, they would have discovered that inside Cheng Xuesong's mouth was a gloomy and pale ghost face!

Suddenly, the chilling breath behind her began to gradually disappear. Cheng Xuesong struggled to recite a new spell. Then, the strands of hair that had surged to her chest finally retracted back into her mouth. Then, Cheng Xuesong's mouth returned to normal. She collapsed to the ground, unable to say a word.

In the entire 20 Degrees Hell Cinema, there was no one else who had a ghost planted inside them like Cheng Xuesong!

When facing a life-or-death crisis, she could recite a spell to release the ghost planted inside her. This could be said to be even more terrifying than the "Curse of the Dead"! Because once the mouth was stretched to the point of complete rupture and unable to recite the spell, the actor would undoubtedly die! But there was one advantage to doing this. Because it was extremely dangerous, it did not require deducting a death redemption ticket, nor was it subject to a cooldown time. Because this itself meant the resurrection of the curse. In a horror film called "Curse of the Ghosts," she drank the blood of a vengeful spirit extracted by an ancient medium from a curse item of the dead, planting a vengeful spirit inside her. And that medium told her these two spells.

If it weren't for a life-or-death situation, she would never use it! Its danger far exceeded Jiao Mengqi's curse tattoo! When Ye Xiang saw that Cheng Xuesong had a new film to act in, Mo Qiushi and others beside him mentioned Cheng Xuesong's special abilities, deliberately teasing Ye Xiang. This was the reason. It wasn't just teasing, but they were afraid of scaring Ye Xiang.

Then, Cheng Xuesong quickly ran back to her original position and returned to the attic.

After putting away the staircase, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. However, Yushuo still did not wake up. It was hard to say how long she would sleep, maybe a few tens of minutes, maybe an hour. Without her, all the talismans were just useless pieces of paper. But fortunately, there were still high heels and the soul-awakening talisman, although the blood-red palm could not be used at this time. As for the curse of planting ghosts, which was Cheng Xuesong's strongest trump card, she would not use it a second time. After all, she couldn't always be so lucky.

Of course, the effect of the ghost bone could definitely last for a long time. It was unknown how long exactly, but it would definitely be more than enough to support until the end of the third act. However, whether it could support until Bai Yushuo woke up, no one knew.

Time quickly passed. After taking out the ghost bone, a bloody smell permeated the air, and whispers seemed to be heard in the ears. Ordinary curse items could at most expel spirits, but the ghost bone could even affect human actors. If it was taken out for a little longer, they might even see illusions of ghosts. If that were the case, it would be truly unjust to take out the curse item because of illusions. And once it exceeded ten seconds, it was almost certain that it would lead to the resurrection of the curse.

The third act finally ended.

At the moment of midnight, the fourth act... also the final act, began!
