Director An Zhi transmigrated to become a "King of Bad Films," single-handedly contributing 80% of the entertainment industry's terrible movies, with the entire internet telling her to ...
Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Short Film Branch Ending
A well-known lawyer livestreamed the case against Yu Feixing and the others. And because words alone weren't enough, and since Bai Puze hadn't seen "Taming," he started livestreaming the film, complete with commentary.
Those new fans of An Zhi who were bored enough in KS and couldn't find any movies to watch rushed back to KS when they smelled the scent.
Fans of An Ruonan who couldn't find other clips heard that Bai Puze would make a choice online, and were looking forward to seeing clips related to Xie Wencong, so they all flocked to Zhuo Maichi's live broadcast room.
There were also those who had just finished watching and were discussing it with strong desire.
Zhuo Maichi was stunned when he saw the number of online viewers exceeding one hundred thousand.
As we all know, KS's live broadcast room likes to fake things, claiming 5,000 viewers to be 50,000, while TK is famous for being honest, and it only has as many real viewers as you want.
So when Zhuo Maichi saw this scene for the first time, he immediately followed his senior brother's example, changed into an expensive suit that he would only wear in court, and also waxed his hair.
[This is hilarious, Zhuo Maqi, you didn't think your ex-girlfriend would come see you, did you? You changed your clothes just for the sake of it.]
We're all here to watch An Zhi's short film and discuss sentencing. Why don't you close your window? We don't really want to see you.
[Oh my god, hurry up, hurry up, start the show! Kashiwa Urazawa, how come you haven't even seen the first part? I have to wait for you for 30 minutes!]
There was a familiar ID, and Zhuo Maichi added the ID of special attention and made a statement.
Zhuo Maqi, you're still as unmotivated as ever. Why aren't you promoting products at this time? As long as you make money and work hard for our future, I won't break up with you!
Zhuo Maichi looked at his ex-girlfriend's statement, was silent for a moment, and quickly added his senior brother's law firm to the shopping cart.
Bai Puze had already paused the video and said, "Look, here in Hong Wan's memory, Yu Feixing entered the villa and attacked her immediately. What does this mean?"
The barrage looks confused, what does it mean?
"That means Yu Feixing just went to ask if anyone has seen my sister! Let's assume that Song Jingye wakes up at this moment and sees Yu Feixing. Hey! He looks just like the girl I wanted to kill before. How do you think Song Jingye would react?"
[What the hell?]
[You're scared, right? How can you react? ]
Bai Puze shook his head. "If I were Yu Feixing, I would say this. Song Jingye wanted to kill me the moment he saw me. I was just trying to get information, and when I saw him trying to kill me, I accidentally knocked him unconscious. That makes sense, right?"
[Makes sense!! Damn, yeah, Song Jingye must have thought someone was out for revenge, bearing the face of someone he'd harmed. I think the host is right.]
[Yes, yes, it really is. After all, we don’t know what happened. Yu Feixing is the only person involved.]
The person who had originally argued that excessive self-defense was a joke was stunned for a moment and replied: "But he knocked the person unconscious and even took him out of the villa. Isn't this premeditated murder?"
Kashiwa Urazawa smiled slightly: "Yes, that's right, so let's continue watching."
Soon, Bai Puze finished watching the first part and started watching the second. He paused after watching the opening credits and said, "Look, first of all, the crime scene was burned down. Is it possible that Yu Feixing, enraged by Song Jingye, hit him with the baseball bat, but he didn't kill him. Instead, Hong Wan cut Song Jingye's flesh one by one, causing him to bleed to death?"
"Even if Yu Feixing really did kill someone, then Yu Feixing was enraged by the fact that Song Jingye might have hurt him, and he killed someone in a fit of rage. He then voluntarily surrendered himself. These are all circumstances that can reduce his sentence. I think the maximum sentence he should get is 10 years."
The comments were stunned for a moment. How could Yu Feixing go from a death sentence to life imprisonment to a maximum of ten years?
Is this what a lawyer's mouth is like? He just talks nonsense.
Bai Puze continued, "However, the above is all based on speculation. The police need to investigate further for evidence, unless evidence is found that Yu Feixing premeditated murder."
But everyone knows after watching it that there are almost none.
Then Kashiwa Puze continued to watch, and the moment everyone was looking forward to, making a choice, finally arrived, and all the barrages started to appear.
[Don't choose to be caught the first time, we know the ending! ]
[The second option is not to save! ! We don’t know what will happen with this option at the moment.]
I asked my friend, and she was like, "Don't run away" as the third option. It was so emo, and then she stopped replying to my messages!! She just posted a circle of friends with some cigarettes and alcohol! Oh my god, I'm so anxious, what's the ending?"
Bai Puze didn't look at the comments anymore, but instead fixed his eyes on Wei Qingrui, the first person to appear.
Although the movie used pseudonyms and replaced the names with homophones but different characters, Kashiwa Urazawa quickly figured out who the real person was.
Because the person being prosecuted in the case of one of his clients was Wei Qingrui!
As the most powerful law firm in H City, they also uphold the original intention of engaging in the legal profession and provide free legal aid at least once a month.
A month ago, Bai Puze received a case accusing Wei Qingrui of intentional injury.
The person involved was a high school student whose arm was blown off. When he was out playing with Wei Qingrui and his group, they played with firecrackers. For some reason, several boys made a bet that whoever dared to hold the firecracker longer would be the more awesome one.
The fuse that the person took exploded in less than two seconds after it was lit, but the person and Kashiwa Urazawa said that his fuse was very short.
There was no evidence to prove who shortened the fuse, and no one could even prove that the firecracker exploded faster than other firecrackers, because everyone present was so scared that they really forgot about it.
But the person involved was a shot put athlete, and his sports career ended from then on. His entire family also spent a lot of money on the treatment, so they sued Wei Qingrui, the organizer and the person who initiated the bet.
After Wei Qingrui arrived at the police station, he was very polite and actively offered compensation - 2,000 yuan.
Bai Pu Ze argued for his rights and won 50,000 yuan for the family, which was the end of his lifelong sports career.
Wei Qingrui smiled gently as he left. Later, when Bai Puze visited the boy again, he found that the boy had dropped out of school because everyone blamed him for being disloyal and even suing his brothers.
So, when Bai Puze saw how Wei Qingrui planned to kill Shu Yuqiu, he understood everything.
That thread of fate was definitely cut short!
Bai Puze was completely absorbed in the video and almost forgot he was still live. But when the second option of whether to save Wei Pan popped up, he murmured, "Yes, do good things. It can be used as a bonus in court."
As for the barrage of comments shouting frantically, "Choose not to save," Kashiwa Urazawa didn't pay any attention at all.
[This is over! I didn't expect the streamer to be so engrossed in watching the show! You're still streaming, bro! Where's your analysis?!]
Some people saw this traffic opportunity and immediately started inviting friends who had not watched it to start live broadcasts.
Trying to grab some of the traffic, TK's backend inexplicably found that the backend server was about to crash again. Why are so many people suddenly live streaming today? Even users who never speak have started live streaming!
The story with Kashiwa Urazawa continued, and finally reached the third option. The entire comment section was begging Kashiwa Urazawa to choose to run! They really wanted to know the ending that made so many people say it was emo.
"I'm very capable. I've been hunted by professional killers for so many years without being killed, so choosing to escape is more advantageous for me..."
It just so happened that Bai Puze completely believed that he was Yu Feixing, so he chose without hesitation: escape.
After the selection was completed and the screen lit up, Ji Jianian did not shout out, "Yu Feixing, your sister is back."
Instead, he looked at Yu Feixing's back, and rushed over regardless of everything, chasing after him.
Yu Feixing was in good physical condition, and Ji Jianian was not bad either. The two of them ran and bumped into things along the way, knocking over roadside stalls, overturning clothes hangers that were blocking the way, and jumping over walls, splashing dust all over the ground.
Throughout the entire escape sequence, the comments kept exclaiming: [Wow, so handsome! Yu Feixing's parkour moves must be professional, as if he really escaped before]
Is it possible that this short film is about Yu Feixing's past life? The way he escapes is so smooth, jumping against the wall, and his waist core is really terrible.
Finally, the two stopped in a small alley, or rather, Yu Feixing stopped on purpose to wait for Ji Jianian.
There was a rumbling sound in the dark sky, and it was about to rain.
Ji Jianian panted: "Yu Feixing, don't run away, come back with me and turn yourself in, it's not too late now."
Yu Feixing took out a black bag from his pocket and threw it over.
"It's too late to send it to you, just take it," and after saying that, Yu Feixing was about to run away again.
Ji Jianian roared, "It's useless! Do you think I can publish all this evidence? Even if you kill them, it's useless. Song Jingye is dead, and the Song family will elect a new heir. The Wei family will do the same. The dirty deal is still going on. Their reputation has not even been exposed yet, and the whole Internet is commemorating him!"
Yu Feixing turned around, his chest heaving, and said, "What's the point of me being caught? They won't even die. At least I can kill them!"
"Come with me. Now, as the main culprit in the Song Jingye case, your case will be tried publicly. You must tell us what you saw and identify the murderers in a live broadcast on the entire network!" Ji Jianian said.
Yu Feixing lowered his head, and after a while, he let out a low chuckle.
He looked at Ji Jianian again, and that look seemed to say, Ji Jianian, you are so naive.
Yu Feixing continued, "Guess how many people would rush over to kill me if I were put in jail? It's simply unrealistic for me to live to see the trial of the case you mentioned."
After he said this, he didn't delay any longer and turned around to go into the dim alley.
There was a loud bang in the sky, and crackling rain began to fall in an instant.
Ji Jianian said with effort: "Yu Feixing, I can't live..."
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, Yu Feixing turned around suddenly, and Ji Jianian was shot in the chest.
As his body fell to the ground, the face of the man behind Ji Jianian was revealed.
Yu Feixing narrowed his eyes: "Yu Gang!"
The next moment, "Bang!"
The gunshot rang out again, and a small blade flew out from Yu Feixing's sleeve, spinning towards Yu Gang.
A large flock of sparrows were startled from the sky and scrambled to find the next tree to hide in the rain.
Following Yu Feixing's route, Wei Pan crawled out of the small hole, still holding the big schoolbag given by Yu Feixing. She turned her head suddenly in the rain, listening to the gunshots and looking at the sparrows, and a bad idea came to her mind.
[What! So if he wasn't caught, he would be killed? Oh my god, this is impossible. How could Yu Feixing die like this?!]
[What else can we do? If Yu Feixing could dodge bullets, that would be too much of an exaggeration. Isn't this Yu Gang the police officer who was so close to Wei Anhe in the photo?]
[Luckily, Yu Feixing managed to trade one for one!! But dying like this is too hard, wuwuwu!!]
Wei Pan continued running in the rain and hid in a dirty underground passage. He trembled all over while holding his schoolbag and lived with rats and cockroaches.
In the next short film, An Zhi uses psychological jump-cut techniques to film Wei Pan's growth over a week. Mice die beside her and are replaced by new ones, the pus that is flowing is healed but is crushed by her again, and the only sunlight moves quickly.
More than ten seconds later, Wei Pan's clothes changed, his hair changed, and even his eyes changed, becoming sharp, fierce, and full of hostility.
She was still carrying the schoolbag, had her hair cut, changed her clothes, and was wearing a mask. She walked out of the sewer calmly and joined the noisy crowd.
A new TV set placed in the glass window of a TV shop I passed by was still playing the latest report on the Song Jingye case, mourning the people's policeman Yu Gang who killed the brutal murderer Yu Feixing.
Yu Feixing was charged with another crime, forcing Jiang Wenjun to kill her husband.
Wei Pan withdrew her gaze without hesitation and continued walking along the street. Soon, she stood outside the villa she was familiar with.
Wei Qingrui had obviously been baptized by power. His whole body was transformed into a glorious one, with all his hair combed back. He wore a suit and exuded the aura of a superior.
A group of young boys and girls, as well as bodyguards, surrounded him as he entered the villa, followed by several scantily clad women.
They laughed and celebrated wildly, spilling red wine all over the floor.
Wei Pan hid in the dark and watched the group of people partying, and calmly put drugs into the drinking water. This was the tool left for her by Yu Feixing.
By the time Ye Shen Shen came to understand, the group of people who had drunk the wine and then the drugs that made them unconscious had already found that their hands and feet were weak.
Wei Pan finally appeared in the messy hall. She took out a pistol with a silencer and turned up the carnival music.
She stepped over the red wine, cigars and cream spilled on the ground, raised her pistol, and shot anyone she passed by in the head without hesitation.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Muffled gunshots rang out, and brains exploded all over the floor. The remaining men and women who were not yet fully asleep stepped back in fear and tried to scream, but the screams were drowned out by the manic music.
After the bullets in the pistol were used up, Wei Pan switched to a machete and killed people as she walked, with blood splattering all over her face.
When she kicked open Wei Qingrui's door, she looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
The woman on Wei Qingrui was screaming, and Wei Qingrui wanted to run away in fear, but the woman was killed directly by Wei Pan. Wei Qingrui was knocked unconscious and dragged into the bedroom where Wei Pan had been locked up.
When Wei Pan stripped and tied up Wei Qingrui, he noticed a noise behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw a girl standing there, looking at Wei Pan in horror.
Wei Pan frowned, quickly picked up the knife on the ground and was about to chase after him.
The girl officially played Shu Yuqiu's role as Sheng Jiong. She didn't run away but closed her eyes and said, "Don't kill me! I'm here to kill Wei Qingrui too. He's been spreading fake nude photos of me online and even deleted and banned my blog where I explained my situation. I'm cornered!"
Wei Pan just pulled his hand back, and the bent blade was just a few millimeters away from Shu Yuqiu.
"Then you can go. I will make him live a life worse than death," Wei Pan put down the knife and said coldly.
Shu Yuqiu opened her eyes: "But, there are still people who deserve to die..."
Her memories flashed through the faces that gloated when she was about to jump off the building, the people who looked at her photo with lewd eyes when she was framed, and those who followed Wei Qingrui.
The two looked at each other quietly, and an alliance was established in an instant.
In the following days, Shu Yuqiu kept coaxing those who got along well with Wei Qingrui to come in and hand them over to Wei Pan.
Shu Yuqiu didn't know why Wei Pan stripped and tied them up one by one, she just did as he said.
Even Wei Anhe, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was captured and tied up by Wei Pan and Shu Yuqiu.
Shu Yuqiu finally understood what Wei Pan was going to do.
Wei Pan entered Wei Qingrui's room carrying a large jar of honey, sweet syrup and jam. Wei Qingrui was short of water and food and was almost exhausted from hunger. His eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance.
Wei Pan smiled coldly, and used a brush to brush the sweet and delicious sauce on him, avoiding his reach.
Before he could even brush his teeth, Wei Pan's memory flashed back.
He was scalded by Wei Qingrui, fell into a pit and broke his bones as a result of being teased, there were snakes and centipedes in his quilt, and so many more.
She held bottles and jars, which contained the insects she had collected during this period, and opened the lids in front of Wei Qingrui.
The densely packed insects, having been hungry for several days, had gone mad with hunger and rushed towards Wei Qingrui.
Wei Qingrui felt itchy and painful, screaming as if he was dying.
Wei looked at him eagerly and said calmly, "Didn't you treat us as bugs for fun? Now, the bugs are here to keep you company."
[Oh my god, what a vicious way to kill, but it's so suitable for a wicked person like Wei Qingrui!]
[Fuck, to be honest, I was initially frightened by Wei Pan's madness in killing people. After watching her flashback, I felt sorry for her growing up being tortured by Wei Qingrui for so many years. To be honest, I would be even crazier.]
Wei Qingrui keeps torturing you like this, not killing you, but simply watching you struggle for his own amusement. How abhorrent!
[I'm having a trypophobia attack. I'm curious how An Zhi filmed this scene. It doesn't look like a special effect!]
This is really a special effect, but it is made by relying on the ability of the little devil. Yu Feixing gave so much favorability almost for free, and An Zhi has no items to exchange for the time being, so he used all of it to upgrade the little devil.
Not only can it scan minions within a 30-meter range, but its functions of operating computers, hacking into networks, changing data, etc. have also been improved.
An Zhi used it to create special effects. This level of special effects would cost tens of millions, so Yu Feixing saved a lot of money.
Back to the short film, Wei Pan took out a book with the Bagua diagram drawn on it, and according to the contents, he took a big brush and began to draw talismans in Wei Qingrui's room.
Shu Yuqiu asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Resurrect my mother," Wei Pan said with a paranoid look.
Shu Yuqiu was stunned and pursed her lips: "You...are you...?"
Wei Pan smiled softly: "I'm not crazy, I'm going to take you to see something."
After capturing Wei Anhe, Wei Pan finally opened the door with the highest level face lock.
Shu Yuqiu followed behind, entered the dim house, passed through a corridor that looked like a Chinese garden, and finally pushed open an ancient gate.
There were four corpses soaked in formaldehyde, with their lower bodies cast in cement, standing beside a pool of blood. They glared at the pale and beautiful woman in the pool.
There was an ice coffin in the pool. Shu Yuqiu leaned over to take a look and found that there was a woman lying inside who looked very similar to Wei Qingrui.
Wei Pan said, "Wei Qingrui had plastic surgery based on this woman. I read Wei Anhe's diary. It's a Taoist resurrection secret. He adopted children widely and looked for the right person, five in total. They killed their father, mother, brother, wife, and son. These people then killed others. The more they killed, the more merit they accumulated. Afterwards, they would suffer the five punishments corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. After suffering the disaster for this woman, she would be resurrected."
She raised her eyes and suddenly smiled: "There are four now, and after I kill Wei Anhe, it just happens to correspond to the last one who killed my father. If this woman is replaced by my mother..."
A gust of cold wind blew by. Shu Yuqiu hugged her arms tightly and hesitated, "What are you going to do? Your mother's body... is in the police station..."
"I will steal it out, but I can't hide it here anymore..."
[Oh my god, Wei Qingrui gathered so many children, claiming to build an orphanage, but actually killing people and selling their organs, just to revive a woman?]
[It's a bit scary. This kind of person is so scary. You say he is affectionate and he is indeed affectionate, but the things he does make people feel heartless. Those are just children.]
[I can't stand it. Since Wei An already has someone he loves, why did he marry Jiang Wenjun and give birth to Wei Pan? Why did he let people bully Wei Pan and Jiang Wenjun? It's so abominable.]
[Yes, yes. He talks about deep affection, but he has been around women too many times. I’m afraid that even if the one he loves were to be resurrected, he would still feel worse than when he was dead.]
The short film continued. The camera followed Wei Pan's line of sight, slowly zooming out, sliding across the men bitten by insects, until they left the manor. The leaves outside turned yellow and sirens sounded.
This time no options popped up.
Instead, it ends directly with "Taming".
There wasn't even a group photo for the finale. The film just ended after the ending credits slid past coldly.
The people watching were silent for a long time. Yes, this was the worst ending. People from the Wei and Song families died, but the dirty deals behind the scenes continued. Yu Feixing died, Wei Pan had gone crazy and might be caught. Shu Yuqiu, the victim, eventually became an accomplice and was facing death.
It seems like there is no end to the endless alternation of power and desire, death and eternal sin.
Bai Puze opened his mouth and finally sighed: "There's nothing I can do. There's really no way to excuse myself. Even if Wei Pan was a minor and committed such a heinous crime, he would definitely be sentenced to death. The same goes for Shu Yuqiu."
The audience was immersed in the sad ending, but Bai Pu Ze was still thinking about how to sentence Wei Pan. From his tone, it seemed that he couldn't think of how to defend Wei Pan and reduce his sentence. It was very disappointing!
Bai Puze looked at the camera again and said, "But people like Wei Anhe and Song Jingye."
He smiled faintly and could not wait to declare: "Death penalty, absolute death penalty!"
[It's hilarious! Yu Feixing explained so much for him, thinking of all the possibilities. Wei Pan was heartbroken because he couldn't think of them. Wei An and these people were too lazy to even wash themselves clean. It was a resounding death sentence, haha.]
What about the aforementioned abolition of the death penalty in September?
Bai Puze said, "Then there is no choice. The good news is that if there really is someone like Yu Feixing, he won't die. The bad news is that if Wei Anhe has committed so many crimes, he won't die either. You may not know that there are many diseases that can be treated after being released from prison, but they were caused by the rich."
I think I understand. So, throughout An Zhi's short film, all the characters' choices, and even our own choices, are all precious. Abolishing the death penalty leaves us with no choice.
[Then aren't our choices a joke? Is An Zhi saying we're a joke...]
[Damn it! Who proposed abolishing the death penalty?! I don't agree!]
[Yes! I disagree too!]
These words directly angered many viewers. Yu Feixing did not kill anyone in real life, but people like Song Jingye and Wei Anhe actually killed people!
So when they heard that abolishing the death penalty would actually happen, which would completely benefit Song Jingye and Wei Anhe, everyone became angry in an instant.
In addition, they passionately discussed the sentence for a long time and found that they had no choice at all. After the abolition of the death penalty, everyone can live. Then don’t they seem stupid for discussing it for so long?
So that night on TK, #SupportDeathPunishment directly topped the list.
At the same time, on KS, An Ruonan shared a short film on the KS suspense list, in which the heroine was sentenced to death due to a wrongful case and separated from the hero.
