Following the sound of machinery, Xu Zhizhi stood in front of a somewhat dilapidated red brick building that looked a little old and seemed to be in the style of the last century.
The overly realistic scene made her feel dazed, and it took her a few seconds to realize that she had activated the simulator of the crime assistance system.
Not long after, a girl with pigtails walked past her. She was wearing a white wide-necked shirt, slightly whitish light blue jeans, a pair of blue plaid casual shoes with white base, and a pair of pigtails.
In fact, this kind of dress was no longer popular in the early 2000s, but it was still very fashionable in Jiang City, which had not yet been developed at that time.
The other person walked straight towards Xu Zhizhi, then walked past her and headed towards the alley on the right side of the house, with a sweet look on his face as if he had just met his sweetheart.
It was daytime now and there were a few people walking around. Xu Zhizhi looked over and could not see the clear features of the girl's face. She only had a vague impression that they looked familiar.
Only then did she truly remember that he was the victim of the first case.
Wang Yuchun, 19 years old, graduated from high school one year ago. The day of the crime was her birthday. When her family came home from get off work, they found her dismembered and murdered at home.
Since it was a case simulator, a case must be about to happen. Xu Zhizhi quickly followed the girl's pace.
Following the girl, we walked into the bungalow in the alley. It was a small, narrow space surrounded by walls.
The girl's home was the same, with three rooms inside and outside, a small shared courtyard, and a toilet and bathroom in the side room.
The yard was quiet. The girl looked around and saw that no one was home. She spun around and jumped, with joy in her bright eyes.
Xu Zhizhi looked at the clock on the wall and saw that there was still an hour left before the girl was found dead.
That is to say, within an hour, the murderer would kill and dismember the girl. Would he have enough time to escape from the scene in such a short time?
At this speed, Xu Zhizhi's pupils constricted!
Could it be that the other party did not leave? Or even was still observing the scene? It was like an artist appreciating his own work from the perspective of a spectator.
This kind of psychological quality made Xu Zhizhi feel terrified and fear arose in her heart.
But since she has chosen this path, she will not give up easily.
Thinking of this, she continued reading.
The girl was still shy, thinking about the sweet words her lover had just said, and slowly walked into the house.
Xu Zhizhi had already been standing in the house and had seen the location of the murderer. The murderer's face was Xu Zhizhi's. It was probably because the system could not simulate the other person's actual appearance, so it directly replaced it with her.
But it can be seen that the murderer seems to be a female, with signs of years of exercise on her body, and is about the same height as Xu Zhizhi.
The girl's throat was slashed by a smiling man, her blood splattered all over the ceiling, and then she died with her eyes wide open.
The murderer was neither hurried nor slow. Wearing gloves and holding a kitchen knife he found, he slowly placed the girl on the wooden table. The corners of his mouth raised a little, and his hands moved skillfully, first cutting off the drooping legs, and then the hands.
Every joint of the toes and fingers was cut off, and the forearms and calves were placed on the kang in the room, followed by the thighs.
Xu Zhizhi looked at that familiar, expressionless face and felt extremely disgusted, with her stomach churning.
She didn't dare to look at the second half. The whole room was filled with blood, spraying, dripping, dragging, and the chopping sounds that terrified her extremely.
She didn't dare to look up until the end of the simulation.
After exiting the simulation system, Xu Zhizhi's face turned pale as paper, and she stared blankly at the documents on the desk.
Then she opened the photo sent by Qin Su on her tablet. It was the photo of the deceased in the first case. Looking at the identical scene, Xu Zhizhi felt a retreat for the first time.
The overly intense stimulation made her feel filled with fear. Witnessing a murder scene was too much of a shock.
Lin Yu had already packed up. She noticed Xu Zhizhi was feeling unwell and asked, "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yu was caught off guard when she saw the photos of the murder scene. She screamed in shock and tightly grasped Xu Zhizhi's hand.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I was scared too. Just don't look at it!" Xu Zhizhi comforted Lin Yu and turned off the tablet to prevent the other party from seeing it.
Lin Yu also relaxed and looked at Xu Zhizhi, "Yeah, no wonder you feel uncomfortable. You really feel uncomfortable when you see this. Do you want me to sleep with you tonight?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu placed Xu Zhizhi's cell phone charger next to her and plugged it into the socket to charge her phone.
Adults would be frightened if they suddenly saw it, but they would not show too much vulnerability.
Xu Zhizhi nodded and indicated that they would sleep together at night.
She immediately picked up her phone, ready to brush it to slow down a bit before entering the simulator.
Mainly, she remembered the 5,000 yuan balance on her bank card. Life without money was more terrifying than seeing a ghost. As someone who had crawled out from the lowest and poorest place in her previous life, she knew this very well.
After sending Lin Yu to buy a meal for herself, Xu Zhizhi went to the bathroom to wash her face, then sat back in her seat and opened the simulator again.
It was still her own face, but this time she persisted longer and watched the other party complete half of the crime with her own eyes.
Because it was too bloody and terrifying, she chose to quit again.
The fear of death is an instinct deeply rooted in human nature that is difficult to overcome.
Then the third time, the fourth time...
Because she had asked Lin Yu to prepare vegetarian dishes for her without any meat, Xu Zhizhi ate it reluctantly.
It was not until the sixth time that Xu Zhizhi saw the entire process of the crime.
This also confirmed her guess that the murderer did not flee the crime scene, but mingled with the crowd to admire the artwork he had made for the first time.
Xu Zhizhi stood beside him and saw "him" frowning, then looked at his little finger that was scratched by the bone.
She followed his gaze and looked over there. Perhaps because it was her first time and she was not very experienced, the girl's body was a little stiff and her expression was full of fear.
Or is this the reason for the other person's dissatisfied frown?
Xu Zhizhi guessed and ended the sixth simulation.
In order to get familiar with it again, Xu Zhizhi started again for the seventh time.
Familiar experiences, familiar movements and expressions, familiar murderous smile of joy.
Xu Zhizhi has mastered the meaning of each of the other party's movements and expressions, and has tried her best to learn the other party's habits and understand the other party's psychology.
These simulations also made Xu Zhizhi less contemptuous of the entertainment industry. A qualified actor needs to work harder. Her previous critical mentality is not suitable for working in this circle. She needs to change her mindset in time.
In order to better understand the character and the murderer, Xu Zhizhi used up the remaining two chances, and the malicious value was reduced to 2.
Perhaps because she had adapted to the bloody scene, Xu Zhizhi only had a shallow dream that night, and when she closed her eyes it was already daybreak.
Due to limited costs for the crew, the makeup photos were not taken in a dedicated studio, but directly at the filming location.
The glaring white background is more uncomfortable than the plain dark red or black.
Xu Zhizhi put on a light and elegant makeup, without any darkening, and even tried to make her makeup look natural and fitting, without excessive retouching.
She was wearing a floor-length silk dress with a slanting collar, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and in her hand she was holding a snow-white Western-style kitchen knife.
These are of course artistic processing. If the murderer's style is completely restored, it will lose its watchability for the audience.
Xu Zhizhi stood in front of the backdrop for a long time before she adjusted to the feeling of being pointed at by many people.
She closed her eyes and began to immerse herself in her previous state.
When he opened his eyes again, Xu Zhizhi had a strange smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with darkness, sinisterness, and frightening ferocity.
This is a character without fear, terror or dread, but strangely, she seems to have a different kind of "kindness" and even a sense of compassion.
These complex emotions appeared in Xu Zhizhi, which instantly ignited Bai Sheng's enthusiasm and made the photographer intensify the filming.
Afterwards, she changed into other clothes and makeup because Bai Sheng felt that the previous set of clothes was too tacky.
Wearing a black sweatshirt and holding a red-painted hammer, half of his face is hidden in the darkness, and then the shocking moment when he gradually raises his head is filmed.
The only sounds at the scene were gasps and Bai Sheng's excited screams, like a yellow screaming chicken that was constantly being inflated.
Qin Su stood aside, his face as cold as frosty. He was always alert to the man on the stage.
He had an illusion that this man would hit Bai Sheng with the hammer in the next second.
That sense of reality came back, filling him with contradictions.
He looked at the other people watching the scene. There was a hint of fear in their eyes, and they took several steps back.
Is it really just a simple imitation?
Qin Su didn't believe it. He stared at Xu Zhizhi with a sharp gaze.
Xu Zhizhi was still immersed in the role when she sensed the hostility. She put a finger to her lips, picked up the hammer and shook it at the other party, with a frivolous smile on the corners of her lips.
"Ahhhhhhhh, so scary!" Fu Nian, who played the heroine, covered her heart, her scalp tingling and she was terrified.
The sounds of inhaling and retreating footsteps increased, and everyone agreed with Fu Nian's words.
The next second, Qin Su rushed onto the built stage and pinned Xu Zhizhi to the ground with a grab.
Xu Zhizhi spun around, her face pressed to the ground. “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it hurts!”
Qin Su looked at the person who had no ability to resist, then he realized what he had done and immediately loosened his grip on Xu Zhizhi.
It's not his fault. Xu Zhizhi's action just now was too provocative.
The man who committed the murder sixteen years ago also behaved in this way, and in order to provoke him, he killed his beloved uncle.
Bai Sheng did not pay attention to Xu Zhizhi at the first moment, but asked the photographer whether he had captured everything, especially the last scene.
Others walked up to ask what happened, because Qin Su's actions were very professional and he looked like a member of the official team.
Because Xu Zhizhi's acting was so realistic, they thought that Xu Zhizhi might have really done something wrong, so no one dared to step forward to rescue her.
The first time Xu Zhizhi encountered suspicion, it left a deep mark in her heart.
But this scene did not end yet. Qin Su held her arm and took her to a secluded place with a serious look.
