Cao Kun suddenly realized that Ryan Reynolds seemed to be making money faster and more easily than he was.
"You slut."
Cao Kun couldn't help but curse under his breath.
After taking a shower, Cao Kun sat on the bed and began his routine cultivation.
After more than a month of cultivation, he finally broke through to the second rank of Gathering Evil.
The evil energy within him became more abundant, and his physical condition also improved further.
His body had become more refined, and his physique had shrunk somewhat, but he had grown one centimeter taller, reaching 1.79 meters, close to 1.8 meters.
The next morning, Cao Kun received a call from the assistant director, asking them to gather at the film set.
Cao Kun pointed out the dangers on set, and the assistant director said that sending them there today was to let them see firsthand how the dangers were resolved.
When Cao Kun arrived at Moss Psychiatric Hospital by taxi, he found that there were already quite a few cars in the hospital's parking lot.
But the actors and crew either stayed in their cars or gathered at the entrance, refusing to go inside.
These people also had one thing in common: they were all dressed very warmly.
Down jackets, which are rarely seen in Los Angeles, have even appeared.
However, most of them didn't have down jackets, so like Jenny last night, they wore several layers.
They were all pale, with dark circles under their eyes and a listless appearance, as if they had been up all night for a week.
At that moment, Ryan Reynolds and Jenny walked over, looking quite energetic.
Jenny greeted them from a distance: "Damn, you're here too."
Her tone carried an undisguised sense of superiority, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at the two luxury vans no longer held the envy, jealousy, or inferiority she once did.
Ryan Reynolds walked over with a beaming smile, subtly winking at Cao Kun.
Cao Kun knew this guy was asking about money, but he pretended not to see it, which made Ryan Reynolds blink frequently.
Cao Kun asked the two men, "Why are you both outside? Why aren't you going in?"
Ryan Reynolds said absentmindedly, "The master we invited hasn't arrived yet, who would dare to go in?"
Cao Kun nodded, stopped teasing the guy, and while Jenny wasn't looking, slipped ten thousand dollars into Ryan Reynolds's arms.
The guy immediately beamed, quickly pocketed the money, and put his arm around Cao Kun's shoulder: "Buddy, I knew you were a trustworthy person the first time I met you. I'm definitely going to be your friend."
Cao Kun glanced sideways at Ryan Reynolds: "Are you sure you want to be friends with me?"
Ryan Reynolds felt a little uneasy under Cao Kun's gaze. He unconsciously released his arm from Cao Kun's shoulder, took a step back, and chuckled dryly, "It's been so long, why haven't they arrived yet?"
Jenny walked over: "What are you talking about?"
Ryan Reynolds quickly replied, "It's nothing, I'm just thanking Cao for resolving our troubles."
Upon hearing this, Jenny's smile became even brighter.
She whispered, "I just saw Julie and Rhett. They were all covered up, but I could still tell they looked like ghosts. Hahaha..."
At the end, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Keep your voice down, or someone will hear you," Ryan Reynolds reminded him from the side.
"What are you afraid of? They're scared to death right now, how could they possibly hear you? Even if they did hear you, it wouldn't matter, I'm not afraid of them."
That's what they said, but towards the end, their tone became a bit disheartened.
In this industry, it would be incredibly easy for Angelina Jolie and Viñona to target a minor actress like her.
"The director is here."
Upon hearing the sound, Cao Kun and the others turned around and saw three cars approaching from outside.
Two of them are Cadillacs, a brand that is the pride of the United States and is very popular among the middle and upper classes in the country.
The other one was a Mercedes-Benz S600.
The Mercedes-Benz S600 of that year had not yet been incorporated into the Maybach brand.
With its square front and 6.0-liter V12 engine, it's known as the "Tiger Head Mercedes" across the Pacific, and it's priced at 1.85 million RMB.
However, in the year Cao Kun traveled through time, even with 20,000 yuan, it was still difficult to find a buyer for a second-hand car.
After the three cars were parked, the short, chubby director James Mangold got out of his Cadillac.
Another man got out of the Cadillac, a middle-aged, overweight man in a business suit, but his skin was much fairer than James Mangold's.
A lean, middle-aged man in a casual suit and a middle-aged man in a black priest's robe stepped out of the S600.
Cao Kun paid no attention to the others; his gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man in the priest's robe.
This person was extremely thin, almost as thin as a bamboo pole; to say that he was as thin as a rake would not be an exaggeration.
The black priest's robes looked empty and baggy on him.
But his eyes were bright, he held an old-fashioned Bible in his hands, and a cross hung around his neck, like a priest in a church.
Cao Kun carefully sensed it, but did not detect any fluctuations of power from him.
However, he found that James Mangold's physical condition was not as bad as others.
"It seems this guy does have some skill," Cao Kun concluded.
Normally, James Mangold should be as weak as everyone else.
But now, it's clearly much better than the others. It must be this so-called master who dispelled some of the evil spirits from James Mangold.
"However, since you're going to expel him, why not expel James Mangold completely?"
Cao Kun was puzzled.
"Could it be that this so-called master is unable to completely expel the yin energy? Or is he deliberately holding back, hoping to squeeze more money out of us?"
Upon seeing the so-called master arrive, the people in the car got out one after another, looking at him with hope.
The producer, Douglas Wick, dressed in a casual suit, introduced the man to the group: "This is Master Rosen, whom we have specially invited."
Master Rosen has many years of experience in exorcism, and he will help us solve the predicament we are facing.
I assure you, we will resume normal filming soon.
As he spoke, Douglas Wick began to introduce the important crew members in his mind to Master Rosen.
Master Rosen wore a faint smile, which made him appear very approachable and confident, giving everyone present even more confidence in him.
However, Cao Kun could see clearly that when this so-called Master Rosen saw that everyone present had a weak and pale face, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen countless green banknotes.
When Douglas Wick introduced Angelina and Winona, his eyes flashed with greed and lust.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense Cao Kun's gaze and quickly turned his head to look in this direction.
He glanced at Cao Kun, then quickly moved his gaze to Ryan Reynolds and Jenny beside him.
A look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Why are these three acting like nothing happened?
He whispered something in Douglas Wick's ear, and Douglas Wick turned to look at Cao Kun and the other two.
After discovering the anomaly, Douglas Wick called over director James Mangold and asked him a few questions.
Then, James Mangold walked over to Cao Kun and his two companions.
