Daytime Horror
Putting aside his appearance, Fu Mingqiang appears to be honest and is actually the easiest to talk to among them.
Although he seemed to have no status, he was quick-witted and good at observing people's words and expressions. He realized that the director was in a difficult situation to decide.
Plus the obvious fearful looks cast at them from the crowd.
Maybe he felt he had gone a little too far.
Fu Mingqiang sighed silently and blinked slowly. Pus flowed from the edge of his eyelid, and the yellow blood gathered together and almost dripped.
Then the eyeballs that were half hanging outside rolled around.
Pulled by the skin mechanism, it slowly retracts into the deformed eye socket.
Fresh granulations appeared at the original wound, and the entire face began to transform into a normal human appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if controlled by a machine.
Soon, the skin became so smooth that no trace of scars could be seen.
This may also be a necessary skill for a ghost.
Fu Mingqiang thought that he should not look scary anymore, so he scratched his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just worried about my house burning down. After all, I died over thirty years ago. I'm not sure if anyone will be able to pay their respects to me in a few years."
The only extra real estate he currently has is this villa, so he should cherish it in case of emergency.
What's more, I have two ancestors to take care of, so I have to consider the long-term.
It takes time and opportunity to queue up for reincarnation, and even he himself doesn't know how long he will have to live in the underworld.
If you get punished by your superiors for this, it will be a waste of time.
The other two ghosts saw that he had changed his form, and they also showed their abilities and turned into ordinary faces.
Seeing them standing together again, they looked like just passers-by in strange clothes.
What you see with your own eyes is most likely to have an impact on your psychology, so the terrifying atmosphere has now diminished a lot.
Everyone's worries eased, and their racing heartbeats calmed down a little.
However, the necessary vigilance has not been lowered. After all, the previous horrifying scene is still hard to forget.
The assistant director checked the situation on the field and noticed the look in the director's eyes. He knew that his task now was to stabilize the people present.
"We go out to work to earn money to support our families, don't we? Ultimately, there's no difference between us. Besides, ghosts are restricted here. They can only move around in their own area. Their freedom is restricted. We're very safe, very safe."
The restrictions he mentioned were exactly the measures taken by the Dual Administration to protect humanity.
No matter how powerful ordinary humans are, they cannot compare to ghosts.
Although ghosts have been investigated and endorsed for safety, they cannot be completely trusted.
To be prepared for a rainy day, limiting the area where ghosts move to the villa owned by the owner is also an additional layer of protection.
In case of extreme situations, humans will have more possibilities to escape when being chased by ghosts.
Of course, it’s just a precautionary measure.
Seeing that no one answered, the assistant director looked around the crowd, trying to find someone who would respond first.
My cousin can no longer be relied upon. The impact of the face-to-face blow just now was too profound. He was too frightened. Now there is no color in his face. He is so pale that he looks more like a ghost.
I didn't know how long it would take me to recover, and I didn't even notice that I was looking at him.
You can only put your hopes on others.
Soon, the assistant director found the target and noticed someone in the crowd looking at him.
After reminiscing, I remembered that this person was the sound engineer of the crew. His surname seemed to be Xia, but I didn’t know his full name.
He twitched his eyes, hoping that the other party would understand his thoughts.
Xia Jialian looked at the man who winked at her in confusion, blinked twice expressionlessly, understood what he meant, and thought for a few seconds before slowly speaking.
"I stay, otherwise no one can do my job."
Before he could finish, he received several looks of disbelief.
Xia Jialian looked coldly, not that he really had much sympathy with the assistant director.
I just feel that the development of the incident should be pushed forward as quickly as possible so that the difficulties can be exposed to them earlier.
After all, these ghosts currently don't look like bosses at all.
The so-called camp entrance test has only begun to show some results now, so we must give them room to perform in the future.
"That's right." Fortunately, there was no disappointment. The assistant director finally had a look of joy on his face. He strode towards Xia Jialian and patted him on the shoulder like a brother.
"Look at Xiao Xia, how dedicated he is. Everyone should learn from him. I won't deduct your wages. If the movie is released and receives good reviews, maybe I'll even give you a bonus."
Gao Wenwen listened carefully and nudged Ding Can with his arm.
"Isn't this what he calls a pie in the sky?"
Although he was a student and had never worked, he felt uncomfortable with this tone of voice.
Ding Can cast an approving glance at him: "You are a teachable young man. When you start working in the future, you will definitely not be PUA by your boss."
Shi Yan stared at the ghost for a few times, still feeling confused: "So we really have to finish filming this movie?"
As the protagonist, she has several scenes where she is chased by ghosts. Now that she knows they are real ghosts, she still feels uncomfortable.
"This is the only way for now." Ding Can couldn't think of any good solution for the time being.
Perhaps noticing Shi Yan's gaze, Chen Tang also looked back.
Her face now looked like that of a normal person, but she had a miserable expression and was in a state of malnutrition, looking inexplicably pitiful.
She took a few small steps forward. Perhaps she had been deliberately disguising herself before, but now her steps vaguely showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
"Miss Shi, in your words, we often go without makeup when filming, and I am more accustomed to it. If it causes you any inconvenience during the filming later, I apologize in advance."
She put herself in their shoes and realized that these living people were indeed under a lot of pressure.
Not to mention anything else, even she herself took a long time to accept her death and dared to talk to ghosts she met on the road.
It's amazing that she can use the word "natural makeup" to describe it.
Shi Yan twitched her lips, but still tried to persuade herself to control her temper and speak.
"Thank you very much."
Some people agreed to stay, and the rest did not dare to be troublemakers. Whether for money or for their lives, they all chose to stay.
The time setting of the buffer zone is the same as that of the human world. With the previous episode, it is already evening.
According to the script, after preparing the indoor props, we can shoot the night scenes.

As the daylight gradually dimmed, the three of them paid no attention to the incident at the door. After Xiaomei simply treated her wound, she went into the villa with her companions.
After Xiao Shuai entered the room, he found the switch inside the house and pressed it.
The power was on, but perhaps because no one had lived there for a long time, the lights flickered a few times before returning to normal.
The light filled the entire space, allowing us to see the whole picture clearly.
"The house your father left you is really big." Xiaoli looked envious. She was afraid that even if she worked hard all her life, she wouldn't be able to earn enough to buy the yard outside.
Unfortunately, both her parents are alive, so there is no possibility that she is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy man.
"It's getting late. Let's clean up the room and get some rest. We can talk about anything tomorrow morning."
There was a noticeable layer of dust on the dining table next to me, which was clearly visible without even touching it.
Xiaomei guessed that the bedroom should be in a similar condition and would need to be simply tidied up before she could move in.
Without having time to look at the entire villa, the three of them went up to the second floor and randomly chose two bedrooms near the stairs to stay in for the night.
When Xiaomei opened the door, the smell of dampness and decay hit her in the face. This was the situation in southern cities that remained unchanged for a long time after the rainy season.
She had been accustomed to it since she was a child, so she just walked closer with a frown, and with the faint light from outside, she reached out to feel for the switch by the door.
I did find it, but it wasn't a lucky thing. The light bulb only flickered for two seconds and then stopped working. No matter how many times I pressed it, it didn't respond.
I guess no one has been here for a long time and the circuits are old and damaged.
It's very late now, so I can only wait until tomorrow to contact an electrician to come and fix it.
"It smells so bad." Xiaoli raised her hand to fan her nose and casually put her luggage on a table near the door.
Xiaomei walked to the window, pulled down the handle of the soundproof window and opened the window.
It was extremely quiet outside tonight. Not even the sound of insects could be heard, and there was no wind at all.
But at least it can circulate with the outside air.
"I'm tired, let's take a rest first."
Fortunately, there was a problem with the electricity, but the water was normal, and the hot water generated by solar energy was enough for them to take a bath.
Xiaoli was exhausted from the journey and couldn't stand it anymore, so she took some clean clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
She had just found a flashlight and new batteries in the drawer and was now using the light.
Xiaomei sat beside the bed and changed the unopened bedding in the closet.
Although it has not been cleaned, it is better than the one on the bed that is covered with dust.
After staying in the house for a long time, my vision, which used to be poor, has gradually adapted and I can recognize the furnishings in the house.
There was the sound of water coming from the bathroom, accompanied by Xiaoli humming a song.
The room is simply decorated. Apart from a table and chairs for resting, there is only a wardrobe and a bed.
The space is not small. Excluding the bathroom, it is estimated to be about 60 to 70 square meters.
Xiaomei is now in the mood to think about the father she has never met. In fact, ever since she learned about the will and set foot on the road here, her mind has been filled with a thousand thoughts.
She was not feeling grateful for what she had gained, but rather regretting that the tiny hope she once had for the lack of fatherly love no longer existed.
In the past, I could still deceive myself that my father just couldn’t come to me for some reason.
But now it is really impossible to happen again.
Just as I was staring blankly, a strange sound came into my ears, coming from the direction of the wardrobe.
Very regular, but not crisp.
Xiaomei frowned and thought for a while, and felt that it sounded like the sound of biting.
She heard that some old wooden furniture is prone to attracting pests, which will eat away the aged wood if covered.
Although this villa is large, it is also quite old, so it is not surprising that insects breed there.
Maybe when I went to get the bedding just now, I stimulated the insects hiding in the dark.
I was originally prepared to listen but not see.
But I don’t know if it’s because I was concentrating so much, but the sound kept lingering in my ears, even louder than the sound from the bathroom.
Xiaomei has always been a light sleeper. If she doesn't stop, she might not be able to close a wink tonight.
She had just made her bed and didn't want to change rooms.
The same situation may occur in other rooms.
Let's go and see if we can find a way to solve it.
She had no choice but to get up, hold up her cell phone for light, and walk towards the closet.
