Vol.3 - Chapter 22 – Knightley's notebook

Three days later, Fang Leng's new movie "Blue Sea" will be released.

In order to survive in this movie, Qi Qingqing came to Ye Xiang to borrow high heels. This horror film tells a terrifying story that happened in a fishing village along the coast of China.

During these three days, there were also voices of opposition when it was heard that Fang Leng was going to trade the voodoo doll. However, Fang Leng insisted on doing so. It should be noted that the voodoo doll was obtained by Fang Leng at great cost in the movie "Ghost Sacrifice 2". He even died because of it, but was saved by NG and finally obtained the voodoo doll, which saved his life. Such a precious life-saving item, and he wants to trade it away?

This time, in the public lounge on the fourth floor.

"What a joke! He actually wants to trade the voodoo doll! Fang Leng is really outrageous," Shi Qingxiu paced back and forth, while Qi Qingqing shouted, "Can you stop walking? It's making me dizzy!"

"Fang Leng has his reasons," Mo Qiushi said on the side, "I can understand him."

At this time, Ye Xiang asked, "What is Fang Leng trading the voodoo doll, which he obtained at the cost of his life, for? What kind of cursed object is it?"

"It's Knightley's notebook," Mo Qiushi answered Ye Xiang's question, "It's an object cursed by the deceased in the horror film 'Knightley Family'. It is a notebook with the soul of the medieval black magician Knightley. It is said that he sold his soul to the devil to obtain terrifying power. Even though he was burned to death by the people of the church, he was reborn as a human several centuries later. Unlike ordinary cursed objects, Knightley's notebook requires a death redemption ticket that deducts double the remuneration in ten seconds! Once opened, this notebook can show the future within an hour! Not the content of the script, but the real future! You should know that the script can often be changed. This notebook contains a part of the soul of this terrifying black magician. If used improperly, the soul will be sucked into Knightley's notebook."

"Predict the future?"

"Yes, and it's absolute prediction. The content of the prediction generally revolves around the notebook holder and the people and events around him, experiencing the future after an hour. Even if the future is changed due to script modifications, it can still be predicted! This kind of thing can only be traded with the voodoo doll, and only then will someone be willing to trade! Of course, Fang Leng is not absolutely certain that the other party will be willing to trade with him."

In these few days, there were also many posters of "Blue Sea". It is a horror film of medium difficulty, starring Fang Leng, Jiao Mengqi, and Qi Qingqing, as well as Fu Hengjun from Hell's Fifth Degree Cinema. It is hard to say whether Qi Qingqing will come back alive this time. Fortunately, she has lent the shroud to Li Weisi for free many times before, so he finally took out the newly obtained Blood Palm and rented it to her.

On the other hand, Ye Xiang's death redemption tickets totaled 3315! After the completion of "Imprisoned Room", his total death redemption tickets were 465 + 150 (remuneration) = 615, 615 + 1300 (Li Weisi's rent) = 1915.

On the surface, he has become like a nouveau riche, but he knows very well that his remuneration for the next horror film may increase, and then he may not be able to use it many times.

The public lounge on the fourth floor is also the largest one with many facilities. At this time, Li Weisi was leisurely leaning over to play billiards and said, "Fang Leng, don't you understand? When he decides something, who can change it?"

And in front of Li Weisi, there was also a person holding a billiard cue, the newcomer actor Yue Liqing. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Fang Leng, you really have a lot of courage. But what's the deal with that woman with dark skin? She kept looking at us coldly during dinner yesterday. I don't know where she went later."

"Her name is Jiao Mengqi. If possible, it's better not to have any contact with her," Li Weisi lightly hit the cue, hitting the billiard ball in front of him.

And in a deeper room in the public lounge, there was a swimming pool.

This swimming pool automatically changes water at midnight, and its water quality is much better than that of ordinary gym pools. The pool is also dimly lit, with the blue dim light shining on the water, giving it a eerie look.

At this time, Bai Yushuo and Wen Yufan were competing in swimming in the pool. Bai Yushuo has a large private swimming pool at home and often swims there every year, so Wen Yufan naturally couldn't compare to her. After swimming a lap, she still couldn't catch up.

After Bai Yushuo swam to the other side, she looked at Wen Yufan and said, "When did you learn how to swim?"

"A year ago," Wen Yufan surfaced from the water and said, "It took me a week to learn. I can only do breaststroke for now."

"Well, let me teach you butterfly stroke. After entering the water, spread your arms apart, and then..."

Suddenly, a figure jumped into the pool, splashing a large splash of water. The one who jumped in was Jiao Mengqi!

Her movements were extremely agile, with wide arm movements, constantly splashing water onto Yushuo. Jiao Mengqi's body was almost entirely in the water, with only her feet kicking to swim. In the blink of an eye, she reached the other side.After Jiao Mengqi resurfaced, she lifted her goggles to her forehead and swam over, looking at Wen Yufan and saying, "Isn't this the new actress?"

"Mengqi." Yushuo looked at her and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Of course. Couldn't have been better."

At this moment, Wen Yufan also noticed the terrifying tattoo on Jiao Mengqi's back. Under the flickering of the eerie blue light, the pale face of the man in the tattoo seemed to be constantly smirking.

Jiao Mengqi was not a fan of tattoos. As a girl, she didn't seem to care about having such an ugly tattoo on her back. As for Wen Yufan, her beautiful appearance and decent figure were the aspects she was most satisfied with. If it were her, she might not have the heart to get such a tattoo on her back.

Jiao Mengqi looked at Bai Yushuo and said, "Speaking of the horror film in three days, we have to stay in the coastal fishing village. Naturally, I have to come here to practice swimming. Yushuo, you will be acting in the next horror film with her, right? It's called 'Return,' isn't it?"

Then, she coldly turned her gaze towards Wen Yufan.

Even with Jiao Mengqi's personality, she had to admit that Wen Yufan was truly impeccable in terms of appearance, even on par with Yushuo. With her looks, she could easily play the leading role in a movie.

"You, are you Wen Yufan?"

"Yes." Wen Yufan slightly lowered her head. "I have only acted in one horror film. Just like you said, next month, I will be acting in the horror film 'Return' with Yushuo."

"Is that so? In that case, I hope that when the time comes, I can see you come back alive from there."

After saying this, Jiao Mengqi's body completely sank into the water and she began to swim underwater.

"It's okay." Yushuo gently placed her hand on Wen Yufan's shoulder and said, "Although she's like that, she wasn't always like this. There's a reason for her transformation. I hope you won't have too many prejudices against her. Speaking of..."

"What is it, Yushuo?"

"When she first entered the film industry, she was somewhat similar to you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yufan was surprised and looked at Jiao Mengqi, who was still swimming towards the other side. She felt somewhat unexpected about Yushuo's words.

"No... actually, it's a bit worse than you. She was extremely pessimistic about the future. At that time, she said she didn't want to live anymore. She chose to cut her wrists and commit suicide. It was right here by the swimming pool."

As Yushuo said this, her voice became very low, and only Wen Yufan could hear it.

"She also said that she had never had any luck in her life, and now she has fallen into despair. That's why she doesn't want to live anymore. At that time, I found her and saved her. I told her not to die and that I would do my best to help her survive. Then, just like with you, I started teaching her survival skills in horror films, how to act, how to use cursed objects, how to gather information, and so on... Her swimming skills now are also something I taught her."

"So why has she become like this now?" Wen Yufan was very puzzled about this.

"Yeah, why? Until now, she hasn't been willing to tell me. When I saw a hint of a smile on her face for the first time, I finally felt happy. Because I felt like I had truly 'saved' her. She not only regained her life, but her soul also came alive. However, at that time, Yu Chen and Hou Tianbai hadn't come in yet. They didn't know that she used to be like that. At that time, she sincerely showed a smile of hope for the future. I will never forget that moment. She truly smiled beautifully. I believe that even if she hadn't entered the film industry, she wouldn't have had that kind of smile."

"From what you're saying, she's living a miserable life in the real world?"

"There are always unfortunate people in the world. You don't need to know about these things. I'm telling you this just to hope that you won't dislike her too much in the future. We all have it tough. Everyone is risking their lives to act in horror films. No one knows if there will be a tomorrow. Maybe in the next horror film, we will die inside."

As she said this, a touch of sadness flashed in her eyes. "If... Yichuan were still alive, that would be great..."

"Yichuan?"

"Never mind." Yushuo shook her head and then held Wen Yufan's hand, saying, "Remember, keep your hands apart like this, and then..."
