Corpse Collector

The first time Ling Changye laid eyes on Xia Bai, all he could see was the captivating absence of his cerebrum. He couldn’t fathom how this man had managed to survive through the horrifying games...

Chapter 37 Harmony Cinema 10

Chapter 37 Harmony Cinema 10

Xia Bai had been to this lake twice before.

The first time was when he was caught by a ghost school beauty and put into a movie, and he swam in the lake for a while. The second time was when he dived to the bottom of the lake and pulled out the waitress You Yue. Both times he didn't touch the door to another world, but it was not without benefit.

The lake on this island is not too big, but not too small either, and it is deeper than you can imagine. A normal person can only stay underwater for a few minutes, and it is very difficult to find a passage at the bottom of such a lake within a few minutes.

With the previous two experiences, Xia Bai could be sure that the place where they were pulled up by the ghost school beauty was roughly the same place where You Yue herself came in from the movie screen.

Xia Bai believed that the ghost school beauty who was unbeatable by all players in this game, her abilities were naturally not comparable to those of ordinary ghosts. She should be able to sense the approximate location of that place, the place where she reached out to grab people many times, which was the area around where they came in.

Xia Bai had thought all this out before he fell into the lake, so when he fell, he said to Guo Yang and Ma Tongfeng, "Follow me!"

After Xia Bai jumped into the lake, he grabbed the sinking Erwa and dragged him to swim quickly towards the destination.

Guo Yang and Ma Tongfeng followed him without any hesitation.

Behind them, Ling Changye also followed.

Behind Ling Changye were dead bodies.

There is nothing near the destination.

All you can see is a patch of deep gray-green water plants swaying in the darkness of the lake bottom. There is no telling what is deposited in the wet mud at the bottom of the lake, which is turbid and smelly.

Guo Yang could hardly bear it anymore. His chest ached and a lot of water filled his mouth.

Probably every player who comes out of the game will spontaneously learn some self-defense skills, just like he originally couldn't swim, but after coming out of a copy with a river, he immediately learned to swim, but he had only learned it for a few days, and it was too torturous.

Ma Tongfeng actually persisted better than him.

Xia Bai also saw that nothing was wrong, so he swam towards the deepest part.

Ling Changye, who was behind him, had one arm stretched over him.

Guo Yang: “…”

It’s better not to have this life.

Guo Yang desperately followed them and swam towards the bottom of the lake. He didn't understand why the lake was so deep, so deep that it seemed to be connected to the ocean under the island. When he was finally about to give up, he saw Xia Bai's figure disappear.

It was like passing through an underwater tunnel, and after swimming over, I saw the daylight. Moving forward, Xia Bai surfaced with a small purple head, followed by Ling Changye, Ma Tongfeng, and Guo Yang, all dead bodies without any feeling.

Breathing heavily, they opened their wet eyelids and looked around.

They were still on the island, still in the lake, and at first glance they were still in the same place, but the forest on the right side of the island was lush and green, with no signs of being burned. From afar, they could see the silhouettes of people in the islanders' settlement above.

They understood immediately.

They succeeded.

No one spoke loudly, and Xia Bai was still in the front. Just like when they were pulled into the island by the ghost school beauty, they swam to the woods base where they were originally hidden.

Guo Yang pushed his wet hair back and looked around. "They are almost exactly the same."

Ma Tongfeng: “Is this the more real world?”

"That should be it." Guo Yang said happily, "We finally found it, thanks to Xia Bai."

Xia Bai shook his head. "I just had an unconfirmed guess. It was only when Captain Ling led us to dig graves and look for bodies that I became certain of it. That's when we decided to look for the real world."

He really thought so in his heart. His guess was actually very uncertain and there was not enough evidence to support it. The key was that Ling Changye led them to dig up the corpse, which just happened to provide evidence to support his vague guess.

Ling Changye might have known it a long time ago, but he just didn't say it.

Xia Bai was soaked through, his green shirt sticking to his body, revealing his slender and upright figure, even the young boy's unique bone veins could be seen.

As he spoke, he bent his head and wrung the water out of his shirt. The water droplets on his hair dripped onto the prominent and round cervical vertebrae at the back of his neck, and then flowed down. His soaked skin on the green shirt reflected the sunlight, and was dazzlingly white.

Ling Changye glanced over inadvertently and heard Erwa sneezing. He looked over and saw Erwa sneezing softly with his little head down, looking unhappy.

Guo Yang heard the sneeze and looked over nervously, "Hey, Erwa, where are your two precious pears?"

Erwa's head drooped even lower, and the grass around him seemed to wilt.

“…”

The pears in this world have not been picked yet, so Xia Bai easily stood on tiptoe and picked two more for Erwa, improving his favorability anytime and anywhere.

Erwa's pockets became full again, and so did he, no longer listless.

Guo Yang boldly took the opportunity to reach out and touch the little idol's forehead, "He doesn't have a fever at the moment. Let's go and see what's going on and leave here as soon as possible."

He didn't know how the members of the assault team managed to bring Erwa back and forth into the game. Even he, a bystander who was not responsible, was terrified, fearing that something might happen to Erwa. He wished he could send him back to the Tourism Management Bureau which had a professional maintenance team.

Ling Changye suddenly had a towel in his hand and threw it on Erwa's head. "Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."

“…”

Is it that particular?

Xia Bai now knew where his windbreaker came from. He didn't steal it from the islanders. The islanders didn't have windbreakers of this quality. It must be that he had some storage space.

It didn't take Ling Changye long, only four or five minutes for him to come back from a distance. He was dressed completely new, and the torn white shirt had been replaced with a new blue-gray shirt, which was very loose and had one sleeve empty.

He lost another arm.

The black pants and sneakers were also new, without a drop of water on them, dry and fresh.

The other four people didn't think much of it at first, but when they saw him like this, they began to feel uncomfortable because their bodies were wet.

Is this even possible in horror games?

Erwa saw Xia Bai's gaze, approached him carefully, and wiped the water droplets from the corner of his clothes with a towel.

Ling Changye glanced at them and said, "Let's go."

Erwa immediately hugged the towel tightly and turned around.

Guo Yang: "Okay, I can't wait to find out what's going on."

Several people walked through the forest familiarly and came to a place close to the residential area.

Here is the mud house they are familiar with, and there are several tents outside. There are several people coming and going around, moving tables, grills and other things. It is a busy and lively scene.

"Look there! Two o'clock!" Even though Guo Yang lowered his voice, one could still hear his excitement.

Xia Bai looked in the direction he said and saw the school beauty.

The school belle in the movie was cold and beautiful. After becoming a ghost, she became cold and silent. But at this time, the school belle was a little cautious, and had a bit of flattering on her face when she talked to the person opposite her.

The school belle in the movie is a rich girl who dresses hot and fashionable. The school belle here wears a court-style shirt that is too exaggerated, a pair of green plaid pants, and the sneakers on her feet are already cracked.

Then they saw the girl whose hand they dug out in the movie. Her big eyes were full of surprise and she was taking pictures everywhere with her mobile phone.

A man carrying a camera came up to her and she immediately bowed.

Guo Yang said: "This is a film set."

Xia Bai had never seen a film set, and neither had Ma Tongfeng. They all looked at Guo Yang.

Guo Yang was stared at by both of them. He coughed and asked Xia Bai: "You have never seen a film set?"

Xia Bai nodded.

Guo Yang raised his chin and said, "I often see that a film set is where movies and TV series are shot. They should be shooting a movie."

He glanced around the set and said, "It might be the filming of the movie 'Cast Away' that we watched."

Xia Bai and Ma Tongfeng were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect the world in Genghis Khan to be like this. But then they thought about it and it made sense. Compared to the world in the movie, the world where the movie was filmed was indeed more authentic.

Ling Changye stared at the bustling set with a calm look, "Since this is a movie set, shouldn't there be a movie script?"

"Yes!" Guo Yang's eyes lit up, "Nothing can tell the story of a movie better than the script."

However, Guo Yang now knows that "the game mission is not simply to ask us to find the story of the movie itself. We can only use it as a supplement to see what the original movie is going to tell."

He observed the set, "Some big directors have their own crews, and the crews are large and well-organized. But this one looks like a makeshift crew, and it's on an island that's hard for outsiders to get in. It looks like they're just starting to prepare for the set. We can easily blend in, pretending to be crew members to steal the script and get information."

He seemed to know a lot about it. Ling Changye said, "Will you arrange it?"

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, "Me?"

The idol actually let him arrange it?

He said excitedly: "Okay, okay! I will definitely make good arrangements!"

Ma Tongfeng knew that this was a movie set, there were no truly violent islanders, and the school beauties hadn’t turned into ghosts yet, so he didn’t feel scared. “Leave any dirty work to me.”

Based only on the TV shows he had watched, he asked, "Should we knock out the two and put on their clothes?"

"..." Guo Yang said, "That way they'll be more exposed. They may not be able to recognize the faces of everyone in the crew, but everyone must know someone. Wouldn't they be exposed if they met someone they knew?"

"We can just use whatever identity we have to get in."

He thought for a moment and said, "The most useful role for the crew is tea boy. Tea boy does not attract attention and can easily get in touch with everyone in the crew. Now they are busy preparing for the scene, so just bring them a glass of water."

Without the pressure of fear, Guo Yang's thoughts were clear, "The most important thing is the actress who plays the school beauty. Who will contact her?"

Ling Changye shifted his gaze to Xia Bai. There was no sign of intellectual activity on his face. "I suggested Xia Bai go. He doesn't have the temperament that would make people defensive."

Xia Bai: “?”

This feeling was especially strong when he was at a loss. Guo Yang looked at him and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let Xia Bai go. Xia Bai, you are going to get some information, do you know?"

Xia Bai: "...I'm not very good at asking questions."

If Lin Xiang was here, he would definitely nod his head heavily. Not to mention asking Xia Bai to talk, he wouldn't even listen to them when they were discussing gossip. Xia Bai had never done this activity.

"Look at her, not just her." Ling Changye said, "Does she look like a newcomer who graduated from a not-so-good school and just entered the workplace of a big company? She always wants to do something, but doesn't know what to do. When a colleague comes over, they can say anything. It's the easiest time to deceive."

Xia Bai looked dazed, but he had a peaceful aura, so they would want to get close to him. Plus, his unguarded temperament made him the perfect match.

Xia Bai believed it, not quite sure.

Guo Yang said: "Then Lao Ma will be the stagehand who moves things, and Captain Ling... Captain Ling will be the investor, but he should not be around the director."

"There are usually quite a lot of film investors, and I don't know many of the production staff. You are a good fit."

The weather on the island was hot and windy. The shirts and T-shirts on them were almost dry, but none of them looked as decent as Ling Changye's.

Guo Yang recognized it at a glance. The inconspicuous small button on Ling Changye's shirt at the collarbone was made of icy blue jadeite. Its color was like the deep blue starry sky in the universe, and its water quality was like the clear sea water under the sun.

Jadeite, which has a sense of age and classicism, does not look old-fashioned or ostentatious on him, but blends in with his temperament in a low-key manner. People who are knowledgeable or not can all see a kind of relaxed nobility in him.

Of course, thinking about his identity in the real world, Guo Yang felt that no one was more suitable than him to be an idle young man with no place to spend his money.

"As for me," Guo Yang said, "I will cover for you. If anyone has problems, I will come to the rescue."

He arranged it this way and no one else had any objection.

After putting Erwa in a hidden place and letting the corpse with the corpse-controlling talisman on its head accompany him, the four of them started to act.

Xia Bai followed Guo Yang's instructions and walked into the thatched house on the outside when no one was around. This thatched house was the tea room. He went in and got two glasses of water. He found the actress who played the school beauty in the corner of the studio and handed them to her blankly, "Do you need some water?"

The school beauty who was squatting on the ground stood up quickly and took the water with both hands, "Thank you, thank you!"

"Don't be polite, I'm the crew's tea boy, here to serve you." Xia Bai showed envy on his face - he didn't know if he showed it or not - and said the lines he had prepared in his mind, "You're the lead actor, so amazing. I've wanted to be an actor since I was a child, and you're the one I envy and look up to, but I'm like this..."

As he said this, he lowered his head.

The school beauty actress saw his dazed facial expression and immediately knew why he was depressed.

Seeing him so lost, she was at a loss. She raised her hand and then retracted it, grabbing her pants at the knees, "You must have a chance. Even a country girl like me who knows nothing has a chance. I never thought that I could be an actor before."

"Hmm?" Xia Bai looked up. "Then how did you become the lead actor? Can you tell me?"

Xia Bai asked stiffly, but as Ling Changye said, this girl from the countryside was eager to integrate into this environment that was out of reach for her, and she met a brother like Xia Bai who made the girl feel pity for him at the mere sight of him, so she told him everything without hiding anything.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any way or method to tell you. I'm just a girl from the countryside who didn't even go to high school. It was the director who gave me this opportunity."

Xia Bai was at a loss: "You are in the village, how did the director meet you?"

The school beauty actress said: "The director was very serious. He went to our village to cast."

Xia Bai grasped the key point, "Why would the director go to the village to cast?"

"This movie has many characters that will be very hard, and the director wants to make a realistic movie, so he doesn't want to use a stand-in for every shot. Many stars may not be happy about this, so the director went to the village to find new actors who are hardworking and can endure hardships."

The school beauty actress' eyes were bright, "What's hardship? We are not afraid of hardship."

Xia Bai asked stupidly: "Do you want to act in a movie so much?"

The school beauty actress lowered her head and smiled, the light at the end of her eyes was so bright, her voice was bitter but not depressed: "Little brother, you are a city person, you may not know, this may be my only chance to get out of that small mountain village."

Xia Bai was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

He chatted with the school beauty actress for a while, and in the same way, brought a glass of water to another actress. This actress was called Xia Lan, and she played the female student who was snatched and eaten by the islanders when they were avenging their tribesmen, leaving only one hand.

Xia Lan was much more lively than the school beauty actress. As soon as Xia Bai handed her the water, she nodded towards the school beauty actress and said, "Little brother, you better be careful. She has some tricks up her sleeve."

It turned out that she had been staring at them. Xia Bai didn't expect the topic to be brought directly to his lips, "You have known each other for a long time?"

Xia Lan said unwillingly: "Of course I know her. We are from the same village. If she wasn't from the same village as me, how could she have joined the group?"

She moved closer to Xia Bai and whispered to her, "Brother, let me tell you, I was supposed to play the school beauty, but the director fell in love with me. You don't know how terrible Xia Fei and her mother are."

Xia Fei was talking about the girls who played the school beauties. They all had the surname Xia and were from the same village. It was unknown whether they were related.

According to Xia Lan, Xia Fei's family raised cattle. After knowing that the director had chosen her to act in a movie, Xia Fei's mother immediately sold all the dozen cows in the family and took Xia Fei and the money to find the director late at night. Later, the role of the school beauty fell on Xia Fei.

"When her father found out, he beat her mother half to death. Her mother is now disabled in the hospital, waiting for the money she earned from the movie to pay for her surgery."

Xia Lan bit her lip hard and said angrily, "She told me that there was no turning back and she had to act. She said it as if it was easy for me. I am the only girl in our village who was admitted to high school. This summer... I should have taken the college entrance examination."

Xia Bai lowered his eyelashes to hide the emotions in his eyes and listened to the girl talking as if she was confessing a lot.

Hearing the noise in front of him, he looked up and saw several men walking out of the opposite room. He knew two of them. They were actors in the movie "The Islander Who Drags the School Belle into the Cave on the First Night".

A man behind them held a megaphone and shouted, "Attention all teams, the opening ceremony is about to begin!"

Guo Yang waved to him from behind a thatched hut, and Xia Bai took the opportunity to leave quietly.

As soon as he returned, Guo Yang stuffed a script into his hands and said, "I stole it from the director's room."

Xia Bai quickly flipped through it and handed it to Ma Tongfeng. "It's pretty much the same as what we saw. There are some details that we didn't notice. It seems that the story of the movie is not the key."

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Ma Tongfeng didn't read the script much, and talked about the news he had heard, "The big boss of this movie, no, the investor is very rich. This island is the private island of one of the bosses. They came here on their own cruise ship, and they have bodyguards."

Ling Changye pointed at the two men Xia Bai had noticed just now, "Do you know who they are?"

Ma Tongfeng also watched the first half of the movie very seriously, "It's the actors who played the two islanders who raped the school beauty."

Ling Changye: "Yes, not entirely. They are the second investor of the movie you mentioned."

Ma Tongfeng was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to think of a possibility, "They are not pretending to be in real life, are they?"

Ling Changye didn't answer. He pointed to the thatched cottage outside and said, "Look there."

There were two people there who came out of the house after hearing the director's horn, one of them holding a compass and talisman paper in his hand.

Xia Bai recognized him at a glance, "Is he a Taoist priest?"

Ling Changye nodded, "This is a very weird movie."

All the crew members came to attend the opening ceremony. The director stood on the altar with a loudspeaker. He was a man who looked to be about 30 years old, hunched over, thin and gloomy. "Everyone, our movie is about to start shooting."

"I have never made any good films in my life. I studied hard in school for four years, but after graduation I didn't get any chance to realize my ambitions in the messy entertainment industry. This wasted seven years, seven years."

"I know that some of you are like me, frustrated and struggling for many years."

"We have a new opportunity now." The director's eyes glowed with enthusiasm. "We are going to make a movie that will be extraordinary in the entire history of film."

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the dazzling white light fell on the director, sharpening the crazy dark light in his eyes. The curve of his mouth extended between the brightness and shadow, which made people feel cold.

Guo Yang complained quietly: "Just his script?"

Guo Yang's criticism was timely and sharp, but Xia Bai and Ling Changye both felt that the director's "extraordinary" had nothing to do with the script.

The director said: "We are going to go all out to make a truly stunning film that will rock the film industry and go down in film history."

These words, though absurd in their eyes, made many people excited. Xia Bai saw that Xia Fei and Xia Lan were also excited, and they looked as if they had seen a bright future.

Perhaps there are people like them. They may all come from closed and backward places, and are struggling somewhere like the director.

They couldn't comment on this.

The opening ceremony was over soon and the crew began to prepare to shoot the first scene.

The four of them ran to Erwa's more secluded place and exchanged the information they had obtained in detail.

Xia Bai told them all the information he had heard.

Ling Changye added: "The two actors who played the twins who were sacrificed are a bit like them. They ran away from the village and worked in a restaurant. At that time, one of them was bullied by a customer. The director helped them out and asked them if they were willing to act in his movie."

Of course I am willing to do so. If I am bullied while working as a waiter in a restaurant, how can I not want to be a glamorous actor?

They were also very excited on the set. Xia Bai saw them going to the tea room to get water. Who were they serving tea to? They were obviously actors.

Guo Yang and Ma Tongfeng fell silent after hearing this. After watching the movie, they understood something from a God's perspective.

Ma Tongfeng: "What about the other girls? Are they all from the same place?"

"Probably not." Xia Bai said, "According to Xia Lan, the director originally only chose her from her village, but Xia Fei and her mother came in and snatched her role. The others should be from other places."

Guo Yang frowned. "The director selected actors from different isolated and poor places and brought them to this private island to shoot a movie like this. There are no professional veteran actors here, only new actors like this. Something is wrong."

I'm afraid even Erwa can smell the scent of a big conspiracy.

Xia Bai: "It would cost a lot of money to go to various remote places to find actors, right?"

Guo Yang: “Those investors are very rich.”

Xia Bai: "Why are they willing to invest so much money?"

Ma Tongfeng suddenly thought of a detail. "When they were on the cruise ship, there was a bodyguard holding something covered with cloth. When the wind blew, I saw the lotus base. That thing looked like the Bodhisattva statues I had seen in some homes, but the shape was not quite similar."

"Where is it? I'll go check it out right now!" Guo Yang said with a sullen face. He couldn't sit still any longer.

Ma Tongfeng: "I carried him to the thatched cottage where you were hiding and eavesdropping."

That room was where the screenwriter and director stayed, and the script was stolen by Guo Yang from there.

Xia Bai and Ling Changye went with him.

These thatched houses were built temporarily, not for long-term residents, so the quality was naturally not very good, and the sound insulation effect was almost zero. The three of them quietly came to the back window of the house and could clearly hear the conversation inside.

"Boss Wang wants to add more plot. Why does he have so many requirements? What have I changed into this script?"

"What did he ask you to add?"

The person speaking at the back has a very familiar voice; he is the director. The person speaking at the front might be the screenwriter.

The screenwriter said: "Mr. Wang said he likes violence and blood. The plot in the current script is not exciting and pure enough. He wants me to write a violent incident that is satisfying."

The director didn't speak for a long time. The smoke of tobacco wafted out of the window and passed around the noses of the three people. They waited quietly.

"You write it. I'll go tell Mr. Wang that we need an additional actor. I'll give you an extra million then." The director's hoarse voice came from the window.

Xia Bai quietly poked half of his head out of the window and saw the director holding a cigarette in his hand, his face half hidden in the smoke. He said infatuatedly: "Everything is for the movie. Our goal is to make the most unique movie. Adding this plot will only make our movie more shocking."

He took a deep puff of the cigarette, as if he was possessed and addicted to it.

"And these." He first took out a piece of paper from the briefcase and gave it to the screenwriter, then walked to the altar and lifted the black silk cloth.

Under the silk cloth is what Ma Tongfeng was talking about.

Ma Tongfeng didn't realize that the lotus base he was talking about was made of blood jade. There was a rumor that the thousand-year-old blood jade was made by the blood of corpses that seeped into the jade. On the blood jade lotus base was the evil object they were familiar with, the evil god worshipped on the altar in the movie, only more elaborate and terrifying.

"This is what Mr. Liu brought from home. It's the Bodhisattva that his family has worshipped for generations. He asked you to face the Bodhisattva with a reverent heart and rewrite the part about the sacrifice according to the precautions and detailed steps on this piece of paper."

The screenwriter is hard to describe.

"I have found the twins he wanted for him. Is it too difficult for you to write a paragraph? Just write it for me here, even for the sake of money." After instructing the screenwriter, the director put out his cigarette and pushed the door open.

Xia Bai and Guo Yang immediately lowered their heads and squatted on the ground against the back wall of the earthen house.

It was time to go back, but Ling Changye seemed to have other ideas. He pointed inside the house to Guo Yang and made a knocking motion.

Guo Yang nodded and immediately climbed through the window into the hut. As soon as Xia Bai stood up and looked inside, he had already dragged the screenwriter he had knocked unconscious back to the window.

Xia Bai: “…”

Xia Bai retracted his head, stepped out of the window, and together with Guo Yang, moved the screenwriter out of the window.

When they reached the deserted forest, Guo Yang, who was carrying the screenwriter, asked Ling Changye, "Captain, should we interrogate?"

Ling Changye didn't respond to his address, he just said: "It takes at least a month to shoot a movie, will the game give us time to finish it?"

Guo Yang nodded, "It's indeed a good idea."

In this situation, there is nothing better than a screenwriter, and the timing is rare. The director gives the screenwriter time and space to create, and they can borrow the screenwriter for a short period of time.

Ma Tongfeng didn't expect that they brought someone back, and he stood up in surprise.

Guo Yang briefly explained: "Screenwriter, interrogate."

In fact, interrogation was very simple. When the screenwriter woke up and saw a group of dead bodies with missing legs, lungs and heads surrounding him, his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted. His screams were blocked by Guo Yang's hands.

Guo Yang lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "As soon as you scream, they will rush over to you and snatch your organs. Understand?"

The screenwriter nodded repeatedly, and all his tears flowed into Guo Yang's hands.

Xia Bai let the two dead bodies sit beside him, Guo Yang loosened his hand and sat next to Xia Bai opposite him, "I'm not good at interrogation."

Xia Bai followed up: "I'm not good at it either."

“…”

You seem to be quite good at it. That group of dead bodies really creates an interrogation atmosphere.

Needless to say, they also knew that Lao Ma was not suitable, so Ling Changye had to come.

In fact, he is the best candidate in the minds of the four of them, including Erwa who is hiding behind Xia Bai.

Xia Bai thought that he had been scared away by him before, so it was not excessive to interrogate him.

Ling Changye first asked a seemingly insignificant question, "What is the filming plan for the movie? Will we shoot the second half with the ghosts first, and then the exploration part right after we get to the island?"

The screenwriter tried hard to show off and quickly answered: "Yes!"

Ling Changye said "hmm" indifferently, and then asked: "Who are the main investors in this movie?"

This wasn’t much of a secret, and the screenwriter immediately said, “Four.”

Ling Changye thought for a moment, "One believes in evil things, one is obsessed with violence or killing, one is addicted to sex, and what about the other one?"

The screenwriter looked at him in surprise, not understanding how he knew all that.

The corpse on his right poked its head towards him and blinked its missing eyes at him. The screenwriter immediately shouted, "Death! Mr. Li likes to watch people die, and is especially obsessed with their expressions when they die. He says that is the wonder of the connection between yin and yang that cannot be compared to anything else!"

Guo Yang kicked him and said, "Keep your voice down."

Ling Changye was silent for a while, then asked in a positive tone, "The director felt that his talent was not appreciated, and he had been frustrated for seven years. He was determined to make a movie that would shock film history. He met these perverted investors, so the two sides hit it off?"

"You don't dare to use famous actors, or even students from film schools, and you go to remote and poor places to select actors, saying you want to make a real movie."

"The girls who came to this island with great expectations don't know how real your stories are. The injuries, rape, death, and human sacrifices in the movie are all real. It's really... shocking."

Following Ling Changye's "question", Guo Yang and Ma Tongfeng felt a chill in their hearts, and this chill was all concentrated in the way they looked at the screenwriter.

Ling Changye lowered his eyes, a dark blue light flashing in his eyes under the shadow of the swaying leaves. He laughed with an ambiguous tone, as if it was nothing special. "These rich people really know how to have fun. Their perverted desires, beliefs and hobbies that are inconvenient to talk about with others can all be made into movies and watched repeatedly, or used as souvenirs? They don't plan to show it to others, do they?"

He seems to understand perversion very well. "After the movie is released, the audience will only praise how realistic it is. They appreciate other people's feelings. Will they get a different kind of secret satisfaction in their hearts?"

Indeed, everyone in Screening Room No. 5 felt that the movie was very realistic. This was what was behind the strong unwillingness in the eyes of the school beauty when she died in the movie.

During the sacrifice, the shrill cries were actually the result of them shedding their lives.

At that time, Lao Ma couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Xia Bai told Lao Ma that this was a movie, telling him that it was not real.

He was wrong.

That could also be true, but he was not qualified to judge what was true and what was false with his limited life experience.

How to distinguish between true and false, real and fake?

But to what extent and what dimension can reality reach?
