Chapter 95 Jiang Ci, no, Jiang Ci, don’t let this bastard…
The movie begins.
There was a silent blackness, and the entire theater was plunged into darkness. Just when the audience was wondering if the equipment was broken, the "dong" sound of a drop of water falling on the water calmed the audience's restlessness.
The thick black gradually faded and remained on the clear water. Ripples on the water spread outward in circles, and the blurry background reflected in the water gradually became clear. The peach trees on the shore were covered with fallen petals. A beautiful face looked at the water indifferently, as if nothing in this world was worthy of her concern and no one could move her. Her eyes reflected the figure in the water, and she smiled suddenly. No matter how beautiful the peach blossoms were, they could not compare to the tenderness in her eyes. It was as if she was looking at the lover she cared about and kept in her heart.
A fan with the online name "Sake" sat in the golden viewing seat, holding his chest, feeling the "thump thump" of his heartbeat, with the heat rushing to his cheeks and ears. He was attracted by Qiao Zheng's affectionate look. He knew clearly that he was not looking at her, but this shot, this angle of view, this look - wasn't he looking at her?
Sake's heart was beating fast. He grabbed a few grains of popcorn and stuffed them into his mouth. The sweet taste spread in his mouth. Sweet food stimulates the brain to secrete dopamine, and the accompanying pleasure calms his mood. Sake patted his face, calmed down, and continued to concentrate on the movie.
Jiang Ci, played by Qiao Zheng, is a famous killer in the underworld. Someone pays her a large sum of money to kill a man named Qin Mu, who is in the limelight recently, stirring up trouble between the court and the underworld, helping and harming people.
Those who were helped felt it was their due, those who were harmed were displaced and unwilling to accept the misfortune that befell them, and those whose interests were violated couldn't stand his attention and wanted to suppress him.
This is the best era for Qin Mu. The imperial court and the martial arts world check and balance each other and are evenly matched. At this time, anyone who can break this deadlock will become famous with the praise of the beneficiaries and the resistance of the victims, be noticed by those in high positions, and thus achieve success and fame, and be passed down through the ages.
This is the worst time for Qin Mu. He will break the balance, allowing the powerful to gain more power and making the originally stable life of the lower class worse and worse. Those in the court who make profits from the underworld are influenced to hate Qin Mu even more, and those who represent the interests of the common people in the underworld are also eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Qin Mu, who is not liked by all classes, can only seek the protection of those in high positions, who can use such a Qin Mu more easily.
Jiang Ci is a cold-hearted killer who doesn't care about the world. She is lonely and solitary and doesn't interact with others. She only gets along with small animals she catches in private. The so-called "getting along" with them is just touching them and watching them struggle and thrash around in the cage. She releases them back into the wild when they are dying.
When he met homeless people on the street when he went out, he would just watch them begging for alms in a humble manner without any emotion.
It seems that in her eyes, there is no difference between humans and animals.
Her life has only one thing - to take the mission and kill the people who need to be killed.
Qingjiu frowned as he watched the movie, wondering why the director edited it like that, making Jiang Ci seem cold-blooded and ruthless.
Cold-blooded and ruthless.
Qingjiu was suddenly stunned when he thought of this word. Yes, Jiang Ci’s character is cold-blooded and ruthless.
Qingjiu thought, maybe the director wanted to suppress first and then praise?
Continue reading below.
When Jiang Ci was trying to assassinate Qin Mu, he was stopped by the imperial guards who were highly skilled in martial arts. Jiang Ci severely injured the imperial guards, and they also injured Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci returned to her temporary residence. She ignored the hastily bandaged wound and fetched some water to carefully wipe her face with a wet towel. She smiled gently at the mirror. Her wariness and coldness faded away, and tenderness and love appeared on her face. She stretched out her finger with a cut on it and reached towards the mirror, but withdrew it the moment it was about to touch the mirror.
The tenderness was gathered back into her heart, and she turned away in panic, not daring to look at the mirror again.
Qingjiu saw this scene in the movie and thought: "??? What kind of film technique is this? I don't understand."
In the following plot, Qingjiu noticed that Jiang Ci would look in the mirror wherever she went, when washing, before going to bed, and if she was in the wild where conditions were inconvenient, Jiang Ci would also go to a place near water to look at herself. It seemed that just one look could generate infinite motivation.
I have to say that Qiao Zheng's fighting scenes are really good to watch. Not to mention that she is as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon, but just the black tights wrapped around her body, her arms are arms and her legs are legs, she looks very powerful, like a tall tree in the yard.
As soon as he started to move, he swung his sword quickly, accurately and fiercely, slashing with full force. The opponent's sword came with a sharp cold light. Jiang Ci nailed his feet to the ground, leaned back to avoid the move, and quickly stabbed the sharp tip of the sword into the enemy's body.
Such sharp movements coupled with her face splattered with a trace of blood, her eyes were dark and stubborn, and there was a sharp feeling that she was not a living person. She stared at the audience through the camera, making people feel creepy, as if the tip of her sword would point at themselves in the next moment.
When people are scared, their adrenaline surges, stimulating nerve endings at inappropriate times. The more scared they are, the more excited they become, and the more they dare not look, the more they want to see.
Sake can say with certainty that the people sitting in the three rows around her took a deep breath at the same time, their breathing slightly quickened, their bodies leaning back while their eyes were still fixed on the screen, looking forward to the next story.
Qingjiu initially thought that this was a traditional martial arts movie that was more about martial arts than romance. After watching the promotional video, she thought it was a martial arts movie that revealed the reality of human nature. Now she thinks it is a pure martial arts movie. The protagonist Jiang Ci probably has some unknown psychological trauma. She seems cold-blooded and heartless, but in fact, for the sake of justice, she kills Qin Mu, who has disrupted the stable lives of civilians.
Qin Mu wanted to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to fulfill the interests of the majority, thereby climbing to a high position and then saving that small number of people.
He may not have thought that the small number of people he wanted to sacrifice did not want to be sacrificed, did not want to die, and did not want to be inexplicably sent to serve as cannon fodder in the dispute between the court and the martial arts world.
The more Qingjiu read on, the more he felt that Jiang Ci was not as cold-blooded as he had imagined.
A beggar stopped her and begged her for food, and she paid for it without hesitation. After the first one, there would naturally be the second, third, fourth... and countless more.
Qingjiu understood that it was not that Jiang Ci was unwilling to help, but she only helped because Jiang Ci came to her for help.
Halfway through the movie, when the audience thought that Jiang Ci would not have a CP, Jiang Ci suddenly started to clean herself up, and all the good-looking things came to her. Her life was no longer so rough, she ate and drank as she pleased, unlike before when she encountered missions in the wilderness and had to go without food or just make do with a simple meal.
Especially after dressing up carefully, she would look at the mirror for a long time with a smile on her face.
Qingjiu heard someone whisper next to him, "Does Jiang Ci have a crush?"
Her friend replied: "I didn't see anyone special appear."
"By the way, did anyone mention in the previous promotions that Jiang Ci has a love interest? If so, is the partner a man or a woman?"
Qingjiu swore with her wise mind and sharp eyes that among all the men and women who appeared in the movie, Jiang Ci did not have any special feelings for any of them. If she had to say, Qin Mu was one of them. Jiang Ci especially wanted to kill him at the end.
Qingjiu watched Jiang Ci on the screen slowly touching her face, her movements gentle and caring, as if she was touching a priceless treasure. While doing this, Jiang Ci's eyes were fixed on the mirror. The person in the mirror smiled and used her fingertips to wipe across her thin eyelids, brush across her facial features, and slide to her neck, and no longer went down.
——Because the mirror can only reflect up to this point, at this distance you can clearly see every expression on the person’s face in the mirror.
This idea suddenly came to Qingjiu's mind, and he had a bold guess in his heart.
The people around him and his friends were still "seriously analyzing", and Qingjiu couldn't help but murmur, "I think I know who Jiang Ci's CP is..."
Perhaps because I was too shocked, I spoke in a voice that I thought was normal, but it was actually very soft, and no one could hear it except me.
But it didn't take long for the audience to know the answer.
In the movie, Qin Mu somehow learned Jiang Ci's secret and deliberately designed a maze full of mirrors. When Jiang Ci chased the protected Qin Mu into the maze, looking at the countless versions of herself in front of her, Jiang Ci softly called out "Jiang Ci..."
Jiang Ci?
Jiang Ci!
Jiang Ci opened her arms and made a hugging gesture.
At this moment, the mirror was controlled by the person behind the scenes and shattered all over the ground, dividing Jiang Ci's figure into countless pieces, and in countless pieces there were countless Jiang Ci.
Qin Mu's words awakened the "dreamer" outside the screen: "How does it feel to like yourself in the mirror? How does it feel to watch the person you love disappear before your eyes? It must be very uncomfortable."
The house where the maze was set up had been specially treated, and the sounds surrounded Jiang Ci's ears.
Qin Mu's words were heartbreaking: "Fake! All fake!"
"Such a person does not exist in the world."
"You are still the child who was abandoned by your family and had to kill your companions to survive."
"How pitiful, no one wants to love you."
"No one wants to love you when you're covered in blood and murder."
"Will anyone believe me if I tell them? There's this poor soul in the world. No one loves her, no one dares to love her, and she can only fall in love with herself in the mirror."
"The man in the mirror?"
"Vanity!"
"Can you hold her? No."
"Does she have a real body temperature and heartbeat? No."
"Does she love you?"
Qin Mu's crazy laughter echoed in the house, "Hahahahahahaha, there is no love here, it's just a poor unloved person imagining that someone loves her."
"Jiang Ci? Jiang Ci. Fake, all fake."
"I guess no one in the martial arts world knows that the famous killer Jiang Ci's weakness is herself."
"Stop struggling, put down your sword, and surrender."
"Your life is unlovable and unworthy of being loved. What you love is something that does not exist."
"What is the meaning of your life?"
"No one in this world loves you."
"How can a cold-blooded monster like you deserve love?"
Qingjiu saw the sword in Jiang Ci's hand fall to the ground with a clanging sound. Although he firmly believed that the protagonist would be fine and would eventually defeat the villain, he couldn't help but feel nervous for the person on the screen who was lowering his head and looked lifeless.
No, Jiang Ci, don't be fooled by this bastard's words.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: After writing a little bit about the movie stories that have appeared but have not yet been written, and then writing some variety show plots, this article is almost over.
I also have an idea for a spin-off story. The eighteen-year-old Qiao Zhizheng travels back in time to the time of Qiao Zheng, who has just changed her name. During Qiao Zheng's darkest time, she meets the warm Qiao Zhizheng. She hates her and loves her at the same time. After falling in love with her, she is afraid that she will leave. She can't help but stay in a small dark room, crying while doing it. Qiao Zhizheng indulges her... I have already thought of the name for the spin-off story - "Before Becoming Me"
It's almost the end. If you have any extra chapters you want to see, you can start clicking. If I see something I think can be written, I will write it.
I still love you today [kiss][kiss][kiss]
