In the spacious restaurant, in front of Yin Shuitian, there were stacks of new horror movie posters.
He picked up the wine bottle, filled the glass in front of the long-haired man, and said, "Duan Feng, have a drink. Consider it a practice for you. Tomorrow, you will start shooting a new film. The cursed item you obtained can also be put to good use."
Duan Feng, the long-haired man, slowly picked up the glass and took a sip. Then he looked at him and said, "The person from the Hell Tenth Degree Cinema has really had such a big influence on you?"
"Among the people I have met, there is only one who has seen 'that person', Fang Leng from the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema."
"Yes, we will meet again in October when we collaborate on 'Ghost Sacrifice 3'. They have been plotting for that piece of parchment. Fortunately, Bai Yushuo won't be participating."
Yin Shuitian also picked up the glass of wine in front of him and took a sip.
"This wine is really mellow. I can't buy such good wine in the real world. There are all kinds of good wine in the wine cellar here, and no matter how much you take, it will increase the next day when you open it."
After slowly putting down the wine, he looked at the redness of the wine, and memories were dragged into the horror movie he had watched before...
At this moment, the long-haired man's words interrupted his reminiscence. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"It's nothing."
Yin Shuitian took a deep breath and said, "I'm just thinking, how terrifying can 'that person' be?"
Duan Feng, the long-haired man, remained silent for a long time. Then, he took a sip of wine and said, "There are some rumors. Have you heard of them? The horror movie 'Knightley Family'..."
Yin Shuitian nodded slightly.
"'Knightley Family' is a horror movie that has involved six Hell Cinemas like never before. It is a rare horror movie involving demons and religion in the Hell Cinemas that mainly focus on Asian horror movies. And among them, the person who plays the reincarnator of Knightley is 'that person'. You should know this information, right?"
"Yes."
"I once spent money to buy some information that I wasn't sure was accurate. Because I was afraid you would say I was wasting money, I didn't tell you. Knightley, the medieval horror magician, played a key role in the witch-hunting activities and became a mysterious man who completely transformed into a demon. His notebook was later obtained by Fu Hengjun from the Hell Fifth Degree Cinema. You should know this, right?"
"Of course."
"It is said that from Knightley's notebook, one can know the past and the future. Knightley, even after the passage of countless years, his dead soul still wants to resurrect, and a part of his soul is attached to that notebook. The reincarnated soul is only a part."
"A part of the soul?"
"Doesn't it sound similar to Voldemort's Horcruxes in 'Harry Potter'?"
"A little."
Knightley himself has become almost indistinguishable from a demon, and thousands of years later, after his terrifying prophecies began to come true, his goal is to gather all the souls he left behind. Therefore, he needs to obtain Knightley's notebook and some other things. In short, it is very similar to Voldemort's Horcruxes..."
"'That person' is also like Voldemort, making people dare not easily speak his name."
"Now I'm going to talk about the key point."
"Some people have learned that the Hell Tenth Degree Cinema hopes to acquire Knightley's notebook from the Hell Fifth Degree Cinema. Of course, whether Fu Hengjun is willing to sell it is another matter. So, this information is an extension of that. Will 'that person' want to collect those things with Knightley's soul? Or as the reincarnation of Knightley, will his soul gradually be influenced by Knightley's will?"
This statement was shocking.
"How is that possible!" Yin Shuitian couldn't help but shudder. It was recorded in "Knightley Family" that Knightley was the most terrifying black magician in human history. He left a vivid mark in the dark history of witch-hunting and even sold his soul to demons, turning himself into a demon... He was known as the most evil demon under Satan...
"That person"...
Has his soul been influenced by Knightley? But when returning to the cinema, the cursed items of the deceased will be completely suppressed! Or...
The next day.
In the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema.
"The Azure Sea" will be released in three hours.
At this moment, Fang Leng was in the fourth-floor gym, bending down and lifting a barbell. His upper body was exposed, and the abs on his abdomen were clearly visible.
We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.
Covered in sweat, he suddenly noticed a towel being handed to him.
He turned around and saw Jiao Mengqi standing behind him. Who else could it be?
"It's you." Fang Leng took the towel and wiped his sweat, then glanced at her silently before saying, "Thank you."
However, Jiao Mengqi stared coldly at Fang Leng's bare upper body and suddenly asked, "Do you want to get Knightley's notebook because of me? You want to get the notebook because you know about the relationship between 'that person' and the Knightley family."
Fang Leng remained silent. Then, he put the towel away, walked to the side, and jumped up, starting to do pull-ups.
"Answer my question." Jiao Mengqi's tone became colder.
"I just think it's necessary.""Is it necessary to give up the voodoo doll you exchanged your life for?" Jiao Mengqi's speech speed became faster and faster: "'The Knightley Family,' everyone knows that 'that person' became famous after that horror movie. Do you think I haven't bought information about this?"
Fang Leng remained silent.
"That's what you think, right? The people from the Hell Tenth Degree Cinema are determined to obtain all the cursed items from the Knightley horror movie. It's just that they haven't had the chance to get Knightley's notebook from Fu Hengjun of the Hell Fifth Degree Cinema. Before Knightley died, he left a prophecy of his resurrection. Even before he was burned to death by the church, his evil soul continued to exist through the medium he left behind, which was connected to demons. Through black magic..."
"And 'that person,' if he obtains all the relics mentioned in Knightley's prophecy, then in the future, after entering the sequel of 'The Knightley Family,' he will gain Knightley's demonic curse power and all his knowledge. You know this, so you wanted to exchange for that notebook, right? Because you know that I want to kill 'that person,' so if I have that notebook, I will have an important power to restrain him. No, it should be said that the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema will have such power..."
"You planned this from the beginning. The patience you mentioned to me earlier was just waiting for this moment, right? Waiting to make deals with the actors who possess the cursed items of Knightley. I guess you have spent a lot of death redemption tickets to buy this information. Now, I only have one thing to ask you."
At this point, she paused for a moment. And Fang Leng's pull-up motion also gradually slowed down.
"Did you do this because you feel guilty towards me, or because you're worried that I will offend the Hell Tenth Degree Cinema in the future, and you can rely on that notebook to have a way out?"
Fang Leng jumped down.
"'The Knightley Family' is a rare mysterious horror movie involving Western demons, and there are still many unsolved mysteries. What you just said is also inaccurate information. Who knows if 'that person' really wants to do that? I did this for the sake of all the actors in this cinema. This is my repayment for their trust."
This was Fang Leng's answer.
"I do feel guilty towards you. But I have no regrets. This world is not so beautiful. Many times, we have to make choices that go against our hearts. All of this is because we are too weak. Don't talk about ghosts, even in front of the Hell Tenth Degree Cinema, we are too weak."
After a long silence, Jiao Mengqi suddenly burst into laughter.
"Alright... you really like to argue! Hahaha, Fang Leng, you are still so hypocritical! Do whatever you want, but don't expect me to owe you anything!"
After saying that, Jiao Mengqi turned around and left straight away.
Fang Leng's gaze remained focused on the scar on Jiao Mengqi's wrist, which had already healed but was still prominent.
"You fool, just like Yi Chuan, you are also a fool." Watching Jiao Mengqi walk away, Fang Leng sighed deeply, "When I mentioned the 'Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema,' of course, it includes you. Among the people who trust me, of course, you are included!"
And Ye Xiang, he naturally knew nothing about all of this.
At this time, the release of "Azure Sea" was getting closer and closer.
And at this moment, he and Wen Yufan were in the third-floor common lounge.
In the center of the third-floor common lounge, there was a large fountain. Surrounding the fountain were several strange headless statues. There were also many ornamental plants in the center, and the ceiling was decorated with glass panels painted with various colors. A chandelier emitting a blue light hung down, casting a eerie reflection on the fountain below.
There were many seats placed beside the fountain. Wen Yufan was currently sitting under one of the headless statues, reading about the experiences and insights of senior actors in previous films, which were taught by Bai Yushuo.
"Yufan." Ye Xiang interrupted her concentration at this moment and pointed to the clock on the wall. "Let's go. 'Azure Sea' is about to be released. Let's go to Theater 5."
The relationship between the two had become very close, and Ye Xiang no longer called her Miss Wen, but directly by her name.
"Okay." Wen Yufan closed her notebook gently and stood up.
