Chapter 130 Audition: The Director is a Dead Man
After Wen Aili's guests left, the front door remained open. Yun Shu had already located her house and was standing at the entrance to the stairwell not far away.
The compass in Yun Shu's hand was spinning wildly, indicating that the magnetic field in this place had long been disordered.
In Yun Shu's view, Wen Aili's house was filled with a thick black aura, and the dining table was filled with the souls covered in burns.
Wen Aili knelt beside the dining table, kowtowing repeatedly. After kowtowing, she even used a lighter to set her own clothes on fire.
Yun Shu's phone recorded this bizarre scene.
Holy crap, she really did kill him! I thought it was just something made up by a marketing account!
[She didn't start the fire, but she cut off their escape route, which is worse than arson! Seeing those people who could have escaped but were trapped in the flames in despair, didn't she feel any remorse?]
How could she do something like this? She has no conscience! This woman is utterly evil!
Yun Shu saw Wen Aili confess to what she had done under the influence of those vengeful spirits, and was about to call the police when the police arrived.
When the police arrived, they found Wen Aili's house filled with thick smoke. She was soaking wet and still kneeling on the floor covered with shards of glass.
It was Yao Shengwu and the others who put out the fire; otherwise, Wen Aili would have burned down the house. They even managed to tie Wen Aili up.
Although Wen Aili was tied up, she remained kneeling on the ground, muttering those words.
“I killed people, I’m a murderer, I killed them all. I did it on purpose, I deliberately closed the back door, and they were all burned to death.”
The police officers' expressions turned serious upon hearing Wen Aili's words.
Yao Shengwu lay slumped not far away, his face ashen. When the police questioned him, he only said, "It's all my fault. All of this is my fault. I shouldn't have married this woman."
The two men were not in a good mental state, so the police took the whole family to the police station.
After finishing these tasks, Yun Shu closed the live stream and went to the ruins of the barbecue restaurant.
The shop had been renovated and looked almost like a normal house, but everyone in the neighborhood knew that many people had died there, so no one dared to rent it.
Yun Shu arrived near the shop, took out some talismans and incense from her canvas bag, and planned to burn them for the wronged souls who died here, to help them be reincarnated.
As soon as she took the item out, she smelled the burning talisman.
Next to the shop, a man dressed in black was squatting. He had placed an iron basin on the ground, and something was burning inside the basin.
Those things look like talismans.
Yun Shu's senses were very sharp, and she vaguely heard the person's voice saying, "Sister, may you have a safe journey. That woman got her comeuppance."
Yun Shu suddenly realized that he was the man in black who delivered food to the dead to Wen Aili and changed the layout of Wen Aili's home.
Yun Shu thought of Yao Shengwu's ex-wife's family situation. She lost both her parents when she was young and grew up relying on her older brother.
Moreover, the most important part of sending food to the dead and summoning the soul is that close relatives need to light incense to guide the way, and then mix the ash of the incense into the food.
If the incense wasn't lit by a close relative, even if it's a guiding incense, it won't work; the soul won't recognize it.
Yun Shu hid in the shadows until the man burned the paper money and left, then she came out to burn the talisman. As for the man, she didn't plan to tell anyone.
This incident has garnered significant attention online, and the police have released updates on Wen Aili, stating that she will be sentenced for premeditated murder.
Yao Shengwu's reputation was ruined. Every day, many people would go to his food stall to curse him, which made it impossible for him to keep the stall open, and he had to do other work.
On Yun Shu's side, the day after Wen Aili was arrested, she went to the film crew for an audition.
It was an audition for the female lead in a supernatural drama. Lu Shijing recommended her for the role and asked her to stay on set to handle any unexpected events that might occur.
In addition, after Yun Shu won the talent show and debuted, her agent also helped her get many big brand advertising endorsements.
She will be able to pay off her debts soon.
However, Lu Shijing's recommendation for her to act in this drama does not mean that she will be able to play the female lead. Rather, it depends on the director's arrangements after the audition.
Although Lu Shijing is the big boss, he generally doesn't interfere with the specific arrangements of the production team. Whether or not Yun Shu can get the lead role depends on her abilities.
Yun Shu had spoken to her agent about this, and her agent told her to prepare well because the director of this drama was known in the industry for his bad temper and wouldn't give any face to anyone who recommended him.
Even if Yun Shu was recommended by Lu Shijing, if she wasn't good enough, the director would let her leave immediately and not let her act.
When Yun Shu arrived at the audition location, she found many people waiting, but most of the actors auditioning were people she didn't recognize.
It's said that this drama is relatively niche, so the budget is smaller, and they won't be casting any big-name stars. Instead, they'll be trying to discover some newcomers with good acting skills.
Yun Shu received an audition card from the staff, which had a number on it. When it was her turn, the staff would call her.
She waited in the lounge for a while, and soon a staff member came to inform her that it was time for her audition.
As Yun Shu entered the audition room, she overheard someone next to the director say, "This is someone recommended by President Lu, and it seems she's also his girlfriend. Director, watch your words."
The director gave him a disgruntled look. "You know perfectly well that I hate people with connections the most. Even if President Lu recommended her, it won't work. If she can't act, she's fired!"
When the director said this, he didn't lower his voice at all, and the staff standing at the farthest door could hear him clearly.
Everyone turned to look at the director, and the judge who had spoken first looked particularly displeased, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Good morning, judges!"
But Yun Shu didn't mind and greeted him politely.
The director then looked at Yun Shu and scrutinized her from head to toe. “You’re good-looking, and your temperament is also quite fitting. Let’s see how your acting goes.”
As the director was sizing up Yun Shu, Yun Shu was also sizing him up, and suddenly said, "Huh? Aren't you already dead? How come you're still sitting here?"
director:?
Before the director and the others could react, Yun Shu looked at the director with a curious expression, "Judging from his face, he is indeed a dead person. How is he still alive?"
director:?
The female lead in this supernatural drama has the ability to see ghosts and can see things that others cannot. Sometimes she talks in a mysterious or cryptic way.
The director asked, "You've started acting, right? Why aren't you acting out the script we gave you? I don't remember having lines like that in the script."
Yun Shu shook her head. "I haven't started acting yet. I just think there's something wrong with your appearance. You look like you were dead yesterday."
