Begging
The body of the virtual projected jellyfish was pale white, with strange internal organs in its translucent body cavity. But that one was different. It was bigger and more beautiful, like it was carved out of diamonds, with a faint halo in the corners.
Even if it is still, it still attracts the audience's attention.
Shang Jingyan hoped that it was just her illusion, but unfortunately it was not the case. She clearly felt the mental fluctuations spreading from the jellyfish monster, like a dormant beast, quietly overlooking the entire scene.
She was also included in the whole audience.
As if being stared at by some higher-dimensional creature, for a second or two, Shang Jingyan was almost unable to move.
Just like a horror movie come to life, everyone thought it was a game, but little did they know that the real killer had already mixed in.
Why did this happen? What should we do? Will it hurt the people present? Will the show be stopped because of the accident? …
Shang Jingyan's brain was working frantically, and at this critical moment, he even thought in his mind: I have been a director for so long, what kind of storms and waves have I not seen? - Damn, I have never seen such a scene!
Before this, jellyfish monsters only appeared in the spiritual space, but now, they appeared in the real world openly.
Shang Jingyan had never heard of such a magical creature that could travel between the spiritual space and reality. It was simply absurd.
"Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired and feeling uncomfortable?" Ao Qingxue helped her pick up the cup worriedly. Even the barrage noticed Shang Jingyan's abnormality and expressed concern.
“…Nothing.” Shang Jingyan had a good mental state after all, and had calmed down. He smiled at the camera, “I just suddenly had an inspiration for a new work, and I need to write it down.”
[Is this the dream builder? Hahaha, inspiration comes anytime and anywhere. 】
[Great, great, Director Shang, please go soon. I look forward to your new work! ]
The barrage of comments was unaware and happily saw Shang Jingyan off.
As soon as he was out of the camera, Shang Jingyan's expression became gloomy and he ran hurriedly towards the lake.
Along the way, Shang Jingyan confirmed that, except for her, the staff and audience, even if they "saw" the jellyfish monster, did not perceive the oppressive mental fluctuations.
Is it the difference in mental strength level?
If your level is not high enough, you will be slower than her and unable to sense the existence of danger.
As he walked, Shang Jingyan was thinking about how to transfer the people on the scene, and he began to modify the original script in his mind without making a sound.
Then, the virtual scene in the program began to move, and the guests and the camera naturally moved away. This made the jellyfish monster stand out even more, as it stayed in place and did not move with the rest of the group.
X71 was more perceptive than the others and asked in doubt: [Yanyan, what is that? It...it's not fake! ! It's alive? ! But I just searched the biological illustrations of the entire alliance and there is no creature that matches! ]
[I will explain it to you in detail later. For now, you just assist me...]
Shang Jingyan was halfway through her words when a strong "gaze" was cast towards her!
The jellyfish monster had no eyes, but Shang Jingyan knew it was looking at her.
Now it is the only one left above Cupid Lake. It is covered in bright moonlight, and its umbrella cap is like an evil eye, staring coldly at Shang Jingyan.
It "heard" her conversation with X71!
Shang Jingyan and X71 communicated entirely through mental power and did not communicate with their mouths at all, but the jellyfish monster could sense it.
At this moment, she was already standing in the woods beside Cupid Lake, less than a hundred meters away from the jellyfish monster.
The strange creature hovered for a few seconds, and suddenly began to float up and down, and the tentacles under the umbrella cap fluttered.
A black vortex ball appeared in its body cavity, like a small black hole, which began to radiate outwards like a pulse as it danced.
It was like a drop of ink dripping into clear water, and black ripples spread out in circles!
Having seen black fog so many times in his mental vision, Shang Jingyan immediately recognized that this was the source of pollution that caused people's cavitation syndrome.
She didn't know what was the best solution, but she knew she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
We can’t let it pollute the program team! This was the only thought left in Shang Jingyan’s mind.
She didn't have time to think about how to materialize her spiritual power, and she instinctively spread it out. The spiritual body in the spiritual image suddenly burst into flames and rushed towards the black fog of the jellyfish monster.
Miraculously, the jellyfish monster trembled violently, and one of its tentacles fell off its umbrella cap as if it could not bear the weight.
It was really attacked...
It's so incredible, it's like a scratch was made on the photo, and the things in reality were also damaged.
Shang Jingyan's mental power quickly formed a net to surround the jellyfish monster.
Cyan Snow Live Room.
"……ah?"
Ao Qingxue suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, and said strangely, "I was distracted."
[What happened to the anchor? I was suddenly in a daze just now. ]
[Yes, yes, you can’t even see us calling you in the comments. ]
Ao Qingxue took a look at the replay and found that he had been in a daze for more than a minute, looking dazed on the screen.
She was stunned. Could it be that she didn't sleep well last night?
She didn't know why, but she suddenly had a very bad feeling, with palpitations and dizziness in her head.
On the screen, the guests found that the candlelight was useless, so they fought and retreated, and were forced by the monsters into a wooden house by the lake.
They simply put the candles together to attract the monsters' attention, while they hid in the dark and discussed how to subdue them.
In order to fit the theme of the dating variety show, the candles were arranged into a circle of hearts, just like a proposal scene.
[…I will be traumatized by confessions made with heart-shaped candles from now on.]
[Fortunately, this method is too old-fashioned and few people use it now, but it's still very explosive to make a heart shape to the monster. 】
Ao Qingxue stopped thinking about her abnormality and concentrated on the program, stroking her chin: "If light can't deal with jellyfish, then what can?"
A hotel not far from the "Light Years" production crew.
Hua Feitian was eating potato chips and watching the live broadcast, when she suddenly looked up at the sky outside the window. This was a completely subconscious action, and she was stunned, with some confusion in her eyes.
Just now she seemed to feel... a very strange mental fluctuation above her.
"What is that?" Hua Feitian frowned, pushed open the window and looked inside. The mental power made her feel very uncomfortable, as if it was polluting.
Whose mental power could be like this? It couldn't be that the monster from Shang Jingyan's horror movie had come to reality, right?
Hua Feitian came up with an absurd idea out of nowhere.
The night was quiet, just like any other day. The disturbing mental fluctuations disappeared after a few seconds. Hua Feitian shook her head in self-mockery and muttered, "I must be overthinking."
Cupid Lake.
Shang Jingyan continued to increase his output of mental power, and the net gradually turned into an impenetrable wall, trapping the monster inside in time.
This alone is not enough, can we kill it here? ...
In the sub-zero weather, Shang Jingyan's forehead was covered with sweat and he had almost no energy left to think.
In the cage woven by mental power, the pulsation frequency of the black fog in the center of the monster accelerated, as if it was struggling and screaming.
Shang Jingyan seemed to have become a caged beast, fighting with it. The two mental waves, one black and one white, collided with each other, one growing while the other declining.
A voice in her heart was shouting: Swallow it, eat it!
The ball of light from Shang Jingyan's spiritual body bit into the black fog, expanding more and more dazzlingly. The jellyfish monster dropped more and more limbs, and the black fog vortex shrank by half.
"Bang!"
The optical computer on her wrist was interfered with by two mental forces, and the chip actually exploded directly, causing a slight tingling and burning sensation.
【Come on, Yanyan! 】
X71 couldn’t see Shang Jingyan’s mental state, but he could see the miserable state of the jellyfish monster in reality, and he cheered her on even harder.
Shang Jingyan had no energy to reply, her face had turned completely pale. This was the first time she had experienced such an "exhaustion" since she traveled through time. Her mental strength, which she had originally thought to be as vast and boundless as the ocean, was being drained.
At the same time, she also had a feeling of being "overfed". The extra mental energy she absorbed could not be transformed in time, causing her head to ache slightly.
When the black fog vortex shrank to a certain size, the jellyfish monster had already shown signs of escaping, but unfortunately it was still firmly trapped in Shang Jingyan's mental cage.
From the outside perspective of X71, the silvery-white jellyfish above Cupid Lake seemed to be trapped in an invisible glass bottle, constantly rolling and colliding with the transparent wall.
Realizing that it was useless to struggle, it seemed to panic, and Shang Jingyan felt the emotional fluctuations coming from the opposite side.
Panic, anger, regret, unwillingness to accept... and the fear of impending death.
It was extremely complex and extremely human-like—no, it should be said that it was indeed an intelligent species similar to humans, and Shang Jingyan had no difficulty understanding its thinking.
She couldn't describe this wonderful feeling, it was like a spiritual communication. She even got a glimpse of the whole story of the accident from the other party -
It is not yet an adult in the tribe, and is at an age where it is fearless. It learned from the tentacles of its elders that "she" was destroying their food recently. On impulse, it came to her without telling its elders, wanting to defeat her and prove itself.
Shang Jingyan read this information and felt a little absurd and scared.
In other words, these monsters had already discovered her repeated attempts!
The black mist vortex of the jellyfish monster was stripped away, leaving only a core, like a piece of black crystal.
The tug-of-war reached its final moments, with both sides reaching their limits. It seemed as if it knew that Shang Jingyan could "hear" its pleas, and the emotions it conveyed turned into pleading and a tremor of fear.
Humans have compassion for other lives. The more similar they are to themselves, the more empathy they can have.
But Shang Jingyan was not moved. In this overwhelming wave of emotions, he conveyed a word to it thoughtfully.
"You have taken away our ability to be afraid, but it turns out you can be afraid too?"
The burning ball of light was reflected in the black core crystal, and Shang Jingyan's calm emerald eyes were reflected in the lake water.
She crushes the jellyfish monster's core.
Above Cupid Lake, the monster remained still for a few seconds, and then exploded silently.
Countless tentacles and broken limbs fell down like dumplings and floated on the water.
The main tendril in the middle still retained a little resentment and vitality, and it stretched out with all its strength to pull towards the shore, wrapping around Shang Jingyan's ankle!
Shang Jingyan was caught off guard and fell straight into the water like a kite with a broken string. The cold winter water quickly filled her thick clothes, and her limbs suddenly felt as heavy as iron and lead and she couldn't lift them.
[Yanyan?! ]
X71's scream exploded in his ears. Shang Jingyan choked on the water and wanted to cough in pain, but he only inhaled more water which squeezed into his lungs.
She pulled hard at the broken limb at her ankle, but she couldn't see clearly in the lake at night.
When she finally got free, she could no longer float up. Her clothes, soaked with water, dragged her down to the bottom of the lake. The freezing water flooded over her head and her body temperature dropped rapidly.
All this happened in just a dozen seconds.
[Don’t close your eyes! Yanyan, please ask for help! ! Please ask for help! ]
She had transferred all the staff of the program group away, and the optical computer that would automatically send a distress signal to the contact person when the host's physiological indicators declined had just broken down. Shang Jingyan felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
I can't be that unlucky, can I? After defeating the mini-boss, I was outwitted by him and ended up meeting my death in this way.
How to write news?
Uh…the famous director was taking a sneaky walk alone on the set, but unfortunately he slipped and fell into the Love Lake and drowned. He will be missed forever, RIP.
This is so funny.
Shang Jingyan didn't know why his mind was still so active and he was talking so much nonsense when he was about to die. This was probably the aftereffect of the battle with the jellyfish monster.
She struggled to take off her heavy coat, but the hypothermia left her with almost no strength to move. Worse still, she felt extremely tired and her brain was about to fall asleep in the next second.
X71 didn't even have a physical body, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. At this moment, it suddenly had an idea: [Yanyan! Give me permission! ! I can access the Star Network to help you get help! ]
Shang Jingyan vaguely heard what the system said, and her survival instinct made her say one word: [OK.]
After she finished speaking, the string of her consciousness completely broke.
The other side.
It was late at night and the live broadcast was over. Unfortunately, the guests were unable to figure out how to defeat the jellyfish monsters. After the candles burned out, they were unable to find anyone and were still wandering in the night, so the guests had to hide back in the cabin.
The comments were particularly excited because the plot was approaching its climax, and the live broadcast was very effective. But backstage, several staff members wiped their sweat.
"Hey, why is tonight's process different from what is written in the script?"
"Director Shang changed his mind at the last minute? We didn't communicate in advance, luckily we didn't let him down."
"I was so scared. I thought there was going to be an accident on the show. Fortunately, it was a safe bet."
The assistant director sighed and fanned himself with a file. In the original script, the scene tonight was supposed to be on the lake, but halfway through, the jellyfish suddenly pressed in, forcing the guests to retreat, and the entire filming crew also retreated.
Moreover, the crisis that was supposed to be simulated by Shang Jingyan tonight did not occur.
"Light Years" has been broadcast for so long, and Shang Jingyan has always been a very reassuring director. He does not have the arrogance that is common among young geniuses. He is also very easy to communicate with during the working process. He never has high expectations but lacks the ability to achieve them, and never acts on impulse.
This is the first time that the original major arrangements have been changed on a whim.
"Speaking of which, where is Director Shang?"
The assistant director looked around and someone answered, "Director Shang seems to have a new inspiration and has gone back to his room to create."
But as soon as the staff member finished speaking, everyone's light computers started to ring at the same time, receiving several messages.
"Huh?! Oh no, someone fell into the water!"
"It's Director Shang!!"
"What?!"
The assistant director gasped and stood up immediately. Falling into water in the middle of winter was no joke!
The program crew members rushed out, and suddenly the place became a mess with shouting and footsteps.
I'm back QVQ. The little angels have worked hard to wait for so long. I will gradually get the feel for it in the next week or two. There should be an update tomorrow, but the time cannot be guaranteed.
