On the day when the art class ended, Teacher Feifei gave Shixi a graduation certificate as a souvenir.
The graduation certificate was an exquisite dark red frosted booklet, inside which was pasted Shi Xi's ID photo that had been widely circulated on the Internet. Teacher Fei Fei also prepared a bouquet of flowers and solemnly handed it to Shi Xi along with the graduation certificate.
"Although you have only taken classes for less than ten days, you have made progress every day. You are very talented. It would be great if this experience in the studio can help you."
Shi Xi glanced at the graduation certificate, his eyes curved, and handed the unfolded certificate to Teacher Feifei: "I have helped."
"Huh?" Teacher Feifei looked at the certificate in confusion and was surprised to find that she had actually written the student's name as Jiang Ruxing!
"Sorry, I wrote this name subconsciously! I'll write it again!"
Teacher Feifei knew clearly that she did not write the name wrong, but she really confused Shi Xi and Jiang Ruxing!
Shi Xi said in a gentle voice: "No need, this is the graduation certificate I want. Thank you for your care during this period. Goodbye, teacher."
Looking at Shi Xi's departing back, the hairs on Teacher Fei Fei's hands stood up: "The movie hasn't even started filming yet, but the protagonist is already alive!"
Actors with real talent are all monsters!
The assistant came to pick Shi Xi up after class. After getting in the car, she put her diploma in her backpack and logged into her painter account.
Before coming to the studio, she released her second work.
This is an ink painting, which shows a window attacked by a flock of crows. Behind the dark flock of crows, there is a hazy ghost figure floating.
This was the scene that left the deepest impression on Shi Xi during the attack, and she recorded it with her paintbrush.
Xiguang is good at Chinese painting, but Shixi only inherited 60% of his talent and is temporarily unable to fully demonstrate his painting skills.
Just looking at the picture of this painting, it lacks beauty and is too messy. Several crows are abstracted like symbols. The only amazing thing is the two cinnabar talismans sealing the window frames. Their lines are flexible, giving the whole painting a Chinese mysterious atmosphere.
Shi Xi named this painting: Suppressing the Crow.
The first painting gained some fans, and the comment section this time was much more lively.
[Finally I've waited for the new work of the great painter! There is also a symbol on this painting. Does anyone know what this symbol is? ]
[I can actually understand this painting, but the style is a bit weird. Did you see the ghost outside the window? It makes my scalp tingle after looking at it for a long time.]
[I quite like this painting, it has a great atmosphere! ]
[The name of this painting is quite interesting. These two charms really seem to be able to stun the flock of crows outside the window.]
[Wow, that's quite a progress! My little niece has also made progress, everyone take a look at her new work! ]
[The magical power of the last painting has disappeared. My grumpy boss started scolding me again today. Can Xiguang draw another magical power painting? ]
Shi Xi poked the screen and replied to the last comment: "I will definitely reply when I have time."
The little blood fish lay on Shi Xi's wrist, watching with great interest. No matter whether the comments were good or bad, for Xi Guang, returning to the world was the greatest happiness.
[Congratulations to the player "Shi Xi" for completing the task and receiving the "Performing Talent +10%, Artistic Talent +10%" reward. ]
[You have obtained 100% of Lin Ying's performing talent.]
[You have acquired 70% of the artistic talent of cherishing light. ]
The crew of "Muse" has completed preparations. On the second day after the art class, Shi Xi joined the crew with Xi Guang's packed luggage.
Director Xiao Xiayan's film had no worries about investment, and an executive suite in a star-rated hotel was booked for the leading actor. This was the best treatment Shi Xi had received since he entered the industry.
As soon as he put down his luggage, Shi Xi received a call from Tang Niannian.
Shi Xi and Tang Niannian have kept in touch since the filming of "Phantom" was completed. Both of them were very busy with work and had not seen each other for a while.
"It's been confirmed that I'm the heroine of Zero One Middle School 2!" Tang Niannian shared the good news with a smile.
Shi Xi was also infected by her good mood and curled his lips: "That's great, congratulations!"
"It was your improvisation in the escape room variety show that made Zero One Middle School famous, and that's why I had this opportunity! I remember very clearly that after the main episode of the escape room was broadcast, someone called for you to be on the Weird Experience. At that time, many people mocked you, saying that you were just a nobody and you were just trying to scam people..."
Tang Niannian became emotional as she spoke, with a nasal tone: "I was so angry at the time, but you said it to me calmly. They could only helplessly watch you become more and more popular. At the time, I was very touched. I thought that sooner or later we would become famous. Now we have finally become the heroines!"
"You deserve this heroine," Shi Xi said to her, "and you will become more and more popular in the future."
"Well, let's work towards our goal together," Tang Niannian smiled through her tears, "I'll be joining the team soon, let's have dinner together when we have time. By the way, how is Jiaming doing recently? He hasn't been in the group for a long time."
"He hasn't come down the mountain yet."
"So many people are urging you to go live! You've been without any content for too long, Master Shixi!"
The two chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone. Shi Xi had a good sleep. The next morning, she tied her hair into a refreshing bun and went to attend the opening ceremony of "Muse".
"Muse" has not been officially announced yet, Xiao Xiayan did not invite the media at all, and the opening ceremony was kept simple and was completed in less than half an hour.
Afterwards, each department prepared for the filming and the actors went to put on makeup and do their styling.
When taking the final makeup photos, Shi Xi combined the abilities of Lin Ying and Zhuang Mei to create a stunning stage makeup and also pointed out some problems with the costumes. He was specially hired by director Xiao Xiayan as the styling director for "Muse".
As he had multiple duties, Shi Xi was so busy on the first day of filming that he didn't finish work until eight o'clock in the evening and returned to the hotel.
"I can finally take a break. Let me log into the great painter's account and take a look." Shi Xi lay on the sofa and opened Xi Guang's homepage.
Just half a day later, there were hundreds of comments under the second post, but the comments in the front row were all questioning.
This painting doesn’t have the calming energy of the previous one.
[I followed the artist because of his previous painting's magical power, but his new work is so disappointing, so I unfollowed him.]
[The popularity of the previous painting was just hype, right? No matter how you look at it, Xi Guang's painting skills are very average and not worth so much attention. ]
Shi Xi didn't feel much about this negative voice. After all, she had experienced larger-scale attacks, but she couldn't help but care about Xi Guang's feelings.
When the little painter learned that he was followed by more than 2,000 people, he was so happy that he started talking...
Shi Xi thought about it and explained in the comment section: "This time I drew a talisman to suppress evil. Although it can't make people calm, it can ward off evil."
This reply triggered many new comments.
[Anyway, we have no way of verifying whether this painting can ward off evil spirits, so you can just make it up as you like.]
[Paintings can ward off evil? This is getting more and more outrageous. ]
[Wait, I'll find professionals to fight against counterfeiting! ]
"Waiting for you." After Shi Xi replied, he threw his phone aside, took a shower and went to bed.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening, on the other side of the city.
The girl who got off the night shift slung her bag over her shoulder, brushed her long hair, and swiped her card to enter the BRT.
It was a weekday and there weren't many people waiting for the bus at this time. She yawned, randomly chose a chair to sit down, opened the forum and browsed around. Because she was sleepy, she didn't even look carefully at the new posts on the homepage.
Night buses passed by her one after another, and the people waiting for the buses got on one after another, but the one she was waiting for did not come. Before long, she was the only one left nearby.
She glanced at the entrance sign and saw that bus B11 would arrive in five minutes.
"It seems a little late tonight." The girl rubbed her eyes and stared at the countdown on the sign.
Three minutes later, she saw a B11 bus driving into the BRT and stopping in front of her.
"It's two minutes early!" After the door opened, the girl hurriedly got on the bus and chose the nearest empty seat to sit down.
When the bus drove out of the BRT, the girl realized that there were more people taking the night bus than usual. The light in the car was too dim, and she couldn't see the passengers' faces. She just glanced and then looked away.
The air conditioner in the car was too cold, and the girl lost all her sleepiness. She blinked and found that the forum she opened was the supernatural forum she had followed not long ago.
She didn't want to look for excitement late at night, but a post floating on the front page caught her attention.
[High energy, high energy, high energy! ! Friends in ** City, please pay attention. Recently, people have frequently seen a mysterious bus late at night. If you see the B44 bus on the road, do not get on it! ]
Coincidentally, she was in the ** city mentioned in the post, and was on a moving bus. Even more coincidental was that the bus she was riding also started with the letter b.
The girl felt a little uneasy and clicked on the post.
The original poster: [When you take the bus, you must pay attention to the bus. Three years ago, ** City re-planned the bus routes and cancelled the B44 route. If you see the B44 route on the road, don't get on it, it is a ghost bus! ]
[Please believe me. I am a part-time exorcist. My client saw this haunted bus not long ago. He was about to get on the bus, but he accidentally fell and missed the chance to get on. When he looked up, he found that it was not the B11 bus he was waiting for, but the B44 bus with a faulty sign. All the passengers on the bus stared at him through the glass with numb expressions! ]
Seeing this, the girl got goose bumps!
"I didn't look carefully when I got on the bus! Could this be the haunted bus mentioned in the post..." After this thought popped up in the girl's mind, she became more and more scared. At this moment, she saw a pair of skinny legs in front of her.
When did this person come over? How come she didn't hear any movement!
The girl's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She forced herself to calm down, calm down, and calm down... Damn, the legs in front of her didn't even touch the ground! In other words, there was a person floating in front of her!
It felt like a huge rock was pressing on the girl's neck and she didn't dare to raise her head at all, but it was also terrifying to stare at these floating legs!
The other party must know that he has seen me. What should I do? Will this car stop at the next stop? But where is the next stop? Is it still in the human world?
The girl couldn't help her wild thoughts, and suddenly she heard the "person" in front of her laugh.
A cold hand rested on the girl's shoulder: "Are you feeling unwell? You seem to be shaking."
The girl was shaking even more violently. Her extreme fear actually calmed her down. She didn't answer, nor did she raise her head. Instead, she covered the screen of her mobile phone with her hair and quickly posted a message for help!
The hand on my shoulder became heavier, and the voice of that "person" had a bit of a bad smile in it: "Little girl, why don't you speak?"
The girl was so scared that she was about to cry. She kept refreshing the page on her phone as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Netizens thought she was joking and responded casually.
[Try searching for Zhong Kui pictures on the Internet! ]
【Try chanting the Great Compassion Mantra! 】
[Are you close to the window? Break the window and escape! ]
[Even if there is still a signal, of course I have to start live streaming! 】
[This is a new work by a painter I follow. She said it is a talisman that can ward off evil spirits. Would you like to try it? ]
[How could anyone actually believe the painter's bragging about his paintings? ]
"Little girl, everyone in the car is concerned about you. It would be rude of you to say nothing."
I don't know since when, but there were more legs floating in front of me, some fat, some thin, some wearing trousers, some with bare skin covered with bloodstains, and some even dripping blood.
In the post, only the person who replied to the evil-suppressing talisman posted a picture. The girl had no choice but to click on the picture and retaliate against it in one go!
The phone screen flashed a dazzling golden light, and the girl squinted her eyes, her vision blurred by tears.
Several horrifying screams rang out in the carriage. She blinked away her tears. There was no one in front of her. The passengers were all sitting in their seats, but... everyone was facing her with the back of their heads!
The speeding bus suddenly pulled over to the side of the road and the girl grabbed the handrail to avoid being thrown out.
The driver, who was sitting in the shadows, called out, "Little girl, you've reached your stop, get off!"
The girl wanted to run away quickly, but her legs were shaking, so she slowed down a bit. The driver urged her again, "Get off the bus! Hurry up! Don't point your phone at me when you get off the bus! I should have let you get on the bus!"
The girl suddenly had a feeling that the driver seemed... more panicked than she was.
The moment she got off the car, the heat wave of the summer night tightly embraced the girl, and she actually felt a sense of relief to be back to the world.
She looked up and saw that the bus was speeding away. All the passengers on the bus were staring at her motionlessly, their heads twisted 180 degrees to their backs.
The night wind blew, and the girl was surprised to find herself sweating profusely.
I don’t know where she got the courage from, but she actually turned on the camera and took this picture!
It was not until the bus disappeared into the night that the girl felt her blood rushing back. She looked around and found that she was standing outside the BRT, less than 500 meters away from the entrance.
Tears silently slid down her cheeks, and the girl posted the photos she took on the post with trembling fingertips.
[Family!! I got off the bus. Thanks to the owner of 50L, that painting saved my life! Also, I took a picture of that bus. I don’t know how long this picture will last! ]
The photo is a bit blurry, and you can vaguely see a dozen eerie shadows in the car. The light plate behind the car shows B11, and if you look closely you will find that the light plate is faulty, and the original number is 44, which is exactly the same as the details mentioned by the original poster.
[Fuck! I thought the host was joking, but I didn’t expect it to be a real evil! ]
[So the talisman on "Crow Suppression" is really useful? An electronic ward off evil spirits? Ridiculous! ]
【50L friends, thank you for being here! 】
[I spoke too loudly before, I want to apologize to my friends at 50L now, your boss is really awesome! ]
[The host, please be safe and go home quickly! Why are you still taking pictures? What if the car ghost spots you? ]
At this time, the girl had already got into a taxi. She replied: "They won't come to see me again. After I showed the painting, the driver of the ghost bus urged me to get off. Maybe they never want to see me again."
[Is this true? ! ! ! ]
[There is an artist’s ID on the painting, so I immediately followed it. 】
【I quickly saved this painting! 】
