Chapter 225 Extra 1
Excerpt from He Sitong's diary:
The weather was sunny on x day of x month of x year
It's been a month since the Rule Ghost Story livestream ended. During that time, I haven't been anywhere. The person in charge locked me up in the hospital. Honestly, life in the hospital has been pretty boring, to the point where I'm feeling incredibly depressed.
But thanks to lying in the hospital, I was able to calm down and think about everything that happened during this period, and also watched the recording video of the last copy.
It turns out Sister Xi said she wanted to make a horror movie and show it to us, so we could get a sense of fear. She, in the computer world, also knew our deepest desires. The computer was right: I wanted to be popular.
I've always been cheerful and lively, but I also have a bit of a people-pleasing streak. I'm nice to everyone because I want them to be nice to me. Perhaps it's because the computer, seeing through my fragile heart, has given me the gift of "friendliness with everything."
On a slightly darker note, I actually really like the All-Affinity talent; it sets me apart and makes everyone like me. Even after I emerge from the dungeon and return to the real world, some people still become enamored with my talent during the livestream and become quite fond of me.
At that time, my super topic had quite a few loyal fans, and I would sneak a peek at them.
However, as the live broadcast of the rules weird talk came to an end, the influence of my talent disappeared without a trace.
It doesn’t matter. I’m strong enough now and I don’t need everyone to like me anymore.
In fact, all of this is thanks to Sister Xi.
Actually, at first, I was more drawn to Ning Ning. She's beautiful and strong, and I even got some clues about her from other people who knew her during my first livestream. In my own mind, Ning Ning is practically my ideal type. She's the type I want to be.
After watching Sister Xi’s live broadcast, I also entered the world of rule-based weird stories. I feel that Sister Ningning is a very perfect person. She is really good in every way.
But in the end, I seemed to like Sister Xi a little more. During the hospital copy, it was Sister Xi who reached out to me.
Oh, saying this makes me seem like I'm easily "switching my affections," but no matter what, Sister Ningning is my main pick. If the two of them argued, I would definitely prefer Sister Ningning to win. But they probably wouldn't argue, and even if they did, Sister Xi would still give in to Sister Ningning.
Speaking of which, I've also been posting a short article I wrote in the Xi Ning Super Topic recently. I didn't write much, and my writing isn't great, but I just wrote down how I envisioned the two of them getting along. Sometimes I can't help but wonder: What are they doing now?
Are you already preparing to shoot a horror movie? But Xijie seems to be very lazy. Maybe she will travel around the world of rules and ghost stories before slowly starting to shoot horror movies.
By the way, they should also want to know what’s happening in the real world, right?
The leaders of Sister Xi, Cai Hua and Li Lana, immediately rushed abroad after the live broadcast of "Rules and Strange Stories". Because of the live broadcast of "Rules and Strange Stories", some places abroad were plunged into chaos, some places were at war, and there were earthquakes and so on...
Even without rules, the world would still be in chaos.
But they both have a lot on their plate. I heard from the person in charge that they were helping local people with psychological counseling in the earthquake zone just two days ago. Earthquake survivors are prone to PTSD, so they're going there to help. Come to think of it, it seems they've been providing psychological support regularly. All in all, they're still shining brightly today!
…
"He Sitong! Stop writing! Put down your pen and have a good rest!"
He Sitong's attending physician ran over and took the pen from her hand. She pouted, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sigh and look out the window. She was staying in a single VIP ward. The government was truly generous in treating her. Even if there were no more live broadcasts of strange stories about rules, it would definitely not let her down.
Her ward was bright and clean. She could see the blue sky and white clouds outside while sitting on the bed. The warm sunlight poured in through the window, making her whole body warm.
He Sitong couldn't help but think of the scene in the world of Rule Ghost Stories where it was cloudy every day. She had seen on the Internet that the staff at Lin Xi's base said that Lin Xi had seriously considered the possibility of hanging a bald ghost in the sky as the sun.
When she thought about this, He Sitong couldn't help laughing until her whole body hurt.
So what are Sister Xi and Sister Ningning doing now?
She could never have imagined that Lin Xi was now so pissed off by the ghost. She sat on her director's stool, clutching the script she'd written on a whim, and raged at the ghost in front of her: "What's wrong with you? You're scaring people! Aren't you good at scaring people? You wouldn't be scared if it were ghosts? Don't you know how many levels of competition you went through to get the acting license?"
"Huh? Now that the show's about to start, you're already slacking off, right? And in front of me during the interview, wouldn't that be intimidating?"
Lin Xi was not polite at all. She took the script rolled into a cylinder in her hand and hit the ghost's head in front of her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Lin Xi was a bit of a flash in the pan. He'd just sent his men back home, and without even two days' rest, he was already thinking about making a horror movie. This got the computer ghost so excited that it nearly crashed itself. It had no idea that Lin Xi wasn't doing this for the greater good of the world of ghost stories, but purely for his own pleasure.
We're making a horror movie. I've never done this before, so I have to put on a good show, right?
So Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning took a pen and paper and lay down at the end of the bed to think over their ideas. Lin Xi's feet were folded together, and she leaned against Shen Sang Ning to relax, while Shen Sang Ning read the script she wrote.
Frankly, Lin Xi's writing skills are appalling. His college entrance exam essays were barely passing. How good could a script written by someone like Lin Xi be? But it doesn't matter; this is a horror film script.
It is well known that there are no ghosts in domestic horror films, but the horror film she wants to shoot not only has ghosts, but all the characters are ghosts, and they are real ghosts.
Besides, Lin Xi still has Chen Sang Ning. Although Chen Sang Ning is not very good at writing scripts, her writing skills are much better than Lin Xi's, so it is no problem for her to help polish the script. Chen Sang Ning took a pen and made changes on Lin Xi's script.
Finally, a new script was produced which did not violate the spirit of Lin Xi's theme story and was completely different from Lin Xi's original script. After the script was written, the crew members were recruited in full swing, and the most important of them were of course the actors.
Unfortunately, everyone ignored the main roles and focused on the ghost roles. Lin Xi could only conduct the interviews herself and select the suitable ghosts based on their performance. At the same time, she also inserted a few actors, including the driver ghost.
It's not okay to be a ghost driver ghost. After the bus is gone, the driver ghost is just an ordinary ghost, and there are no more impressive ghost body changes and skills. The most is that his face turns ashen, which is not good enough compared to other ghosts with different skills.
So the driver ghost was arranged to be the father of the female lead, playing a living person.
Of course, Sun Ke also wanted to join, and she wanted to play the big boss, but Sun Ke's acting skills were really bad. Her overly crazy mental state made her only able to play a mental patient, and she couldn't play any other roles. Sun Ke was so angry that she wanted to fight with Lin Xi directly, but was held back by Xiao Gu.
Lin Xi looked around and felt that Xiao Gu was very suitable to be an actress. Not only did Xiao Gu have a maternal aura, but her face was also very pitiful, which made her very suitable to be the kind of actress who was frightened. However, Xiao Gu refused to take off her pink nurse uniform and insisted that she was a pediatric nurse. Lin Xi had no choice but to call Lin Lin over again.
Shen Sangning started to change the script nearby, adding Lin Lin's role, letting her play the child patient that Xiaogu took care of, but was actually a ghost, and a very powerful one.
As for the big boss, they found Principal Di. Apart from anything else, Principal Di's ultimate move was really too powerful.
After the actors were chosen, the official filming began. However, there were a lot of problems during the filming. Some didn't listen to the instructions, and some didn't perform as well as in the interview. One by one, they were very excited when they were trying to scare her, and they acted as scary as possible, but when it came time to act, they became dumb and started to act badly.
"And you!" Lin Xi turned to look at the driver ghost: "What's wrong with you? I asked you to play the heroine's father, not a coward! She's your daughter, why are you afraid? You should show your kind fatherly love and pat Xiaogu on the shoulder!"
The driver shrank back: "I, I don't dare."
He really didn't dare. What kind of a ghost was he? How could he be qualified to pat the shoulder of a big ghost? He would definitely die miserably.
Lin Xi got even angrier when she heard him talking. Compared to the driver ghost who could only sob in her heart, Lin Xi could hug Shen Sang Ning directly and sob in her arms. She rushed over and put her arms around Shen Sang Ning's waist, sat on the floor, and stepped her face to her lower abdomen.
"Ning Ning, what should I do? They are so mad at me! None of them can even act, they are like idiots!"
Shen Sangning could only comfort Lin Xi: "Take your time, you will be able to film it well in the end."
In fact, it’s not just the driver ghost who has a big problem. Xiaogu’s problem is just as big. Other ghosts don’t dare to scare her. Even if they scare her, she won’t be afraid because she is a big ghost. She is confident that these small garlic cloves can’t do anything to her.
Chen Sangning comforted the fake-crying Lin Xi, then got up and went to find Xiao Gu, pulled Xiao Gu in front of her and began to teach her how to perform.
Xiao Gu was still confused after listening for a while. Shen Sang Ning looked at him for a while and slowly said, “Well, imagine that Brother Sun Ke died in front of you.”
Xiaogu was stunned for a moment, she looked at Brother Sun Ke, and in her ears she heard Shen Sang Ning's slow voice: "You see her body now, she is lying on the ground, all the wounds on her body are broken, she is spitting blood and you don't know whether she is alive or dead. You got closer and found that Brother Sun Ke is already dead."
Following Shen Sangning's words, Xiaogu's expression changed, becoming what Lin Xi and Shen Sangning wanted.
