Chapter 20 Turning around and being dragged into the hell on earth
Xia Lili felt dizzy and hallucinations appeared in her head.
In the picture, Mi Wei'er came to the Huacai Hotel with a folder in her hand.
After arriving at the eleventh floor of the Huacai Hotel, Mi Weiler followed the signs and came to a room to submit her information.
There was an A4 paper pasted on the door of the room, which read: Casting location for the crew of "Broken Moon Jue".
After submitting her information to a person who looked like an assistant, Mi Wei'er waited in the corridor. There were many other girls with regular and beautiful features waiting for auditions in the corridor just like Mi Wei'er.
Xia Lili "saw" Mi Weiler having a pleasant conversation with a girl in pink clothes with long chestnut curly hair.
The next scene is in a remote little garden. The girl in pink comes to Mi Wei'er crying. She tells Mi Wei'er that she was severely scolded by the director. The director asks her how she has the nerve to audition for the role.
Mi Wei'er was furious and hurried to comfort the girl in pink, taking out tissues and coaxing her.
Next, an illusion flashed through Xia Lili’s mind.
Mi Wei'er and the girl in pink came to a light meal restaurant. The girl in pink was crying, and Mi Wei'er was still talking to her and taking care of her emotions.
The girl in pink was crying so sadly that she received a phone call while crying. She said a few words to Mi Weiler, who then stood up and left.
The next scene made Xia Lili shudder. As soon as Mi Wei'er left, the girl in pink poured the powder into Mi Wei'er's cup.
The hallucination came to the last scene, and Mi Weier appeared in a KTV in an unconscious state. Her beautiful white dress had been torn into pieces, leaving her naked.
Mi Wei'er collapsed and tried to escape, but was put in a sack.
The scene changed again.
Mi Weier has appeared in front of a card table similar to that of a casino. She is wearing heavy makeup, revealing clothes, and giving a stiff fake smile to the camera.
In places not captured by the camera, her fingernails had been flipped off, bloody and mangled, and it was obvious that she had suffered inhuman abuse.
This place is very similar to the Southeast Asian Internet telecommunications fraud park that Xia Lili saw!
Could it be that Mi Weiler was abducted by the girl in pink and sold to be a dealer in an online casino?
The last scene of Xia Lili's hallucination is a human tragedy.
The sun was scorching the earth. A white-haired couple was wiping their sweat while posting missing person notices on the streets. The two elderly people were crying bitterly, and their physical and mental state looked terrible.
The woman in the couple was holding a mobile phone with a bear pendant hanging on it.
Her voice was hoarse from crying: "Weiwei, please come back soon. You have been chosen as the fourth female lead in the TV series, and the crew can't find you even if they want to contact you..."
"Come back soon! Didn't you tell mom that your lifelong dream is to be an actor and be seen by everyone?"
The hallucination scene moved closer, and the photo in the missing person notice was of Mi Wei'er, who was smiling brightly.
The missing person notice reads: [Mi Wei'er, female, born in 2003, disappeared on August 21, 2025. She was wearing a white dress when she disappeared...]
The hallucination disappeared and Xia Lili's vision gradually returned to clarity.
Her mind was blank and her heart was beating fast.
Mi Wei'er's bright and beautiful face was right before her. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xia Lili: "Lili, what's wrong?"
Only then did she realize that she was too enthusiastic and had said a lot. She touched her nose awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I'm a bit too familiar. Did I scare you?"
"You can look around the house any way you want. It's up to you how you want to arrange it."
Xia Lili was stimulated by the scenes of hallucination, and when she saw the vivid face of Mi Wei'er in front of her, she had an urge to cry.
"It's okay. You're so nice."
Xia Lili tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, "It feels like taking care of me like a sister."
Seeing Xia Lili like this, Mi Wei'er immediately imagined a ten-thousand-word story of a young woman from another province struggling to make her living in a first-tier city, helpless and having to endure many hardships, including encounters with home invaders and ruthless landlords...
Mi Wei'er really wanted to give this girl a bear hug right away. She was so heartbreaking!
Mi Wei'er is an only child and is relied upon by Xia Lili. She inexplicably feels a sense of accomplishment: "Then just treat me as your sister!"
"I haven't experienced what it's like to have a sister yet!"
"Okay." Xia Lili nodded to hide her abnormality.
She pretended to be casual and asked, "Sister Weiwei, you are dressed so beautifully, is there any important event?"
When Xia Lili mentioned this, Mi Wei'er's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy: "My acting information passed the preliminary selection for the fourth female role in a fairy tale TV series!"
"Audition at 5:30 PM!"
Mi Wei'er had previously worked as a prospective actor and a special actor.
The foreground actors are just background actors with a few lines in a TV series, and the cost of a day's shooting is hundreds of dollars.
Special actors usually have to shoot many episodes with the crew, which is equivalent to a minor supporting role in a TV series. Like company employees, they have a fixed salary and shooting fees.
"Wow, that's awesome!"
Xia Lili exclaimed, trying hard to look normal.
She asked, "Is this the crew of 'Broken Moon'?"
"How did you know?" Mi Wei'er's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you often read gossip on Weibo? What's the rumor online about a top star starring in a big production..."
Xia Lili nodded quickly: "Yes."
Mi Wei'er lowered her voice, "Let me tell you in secret, the drama "Broken Moon Jue" is an S-level production from Tencent!"
This audition opportunity is really precious.
"The leading actress must be Su Yun now! She is my idol on the acting road!"
Mi Weiler showed Xia Lili her phone screensaver, which was a photo of superstar Su Yun holding the Best Actress trophy.
Su Yun is currently a popular female star in the entertainment industry. She has just won the Best Actress award and her appearance and talent are both top-notch.
Moreover, like Mi Wei'er, Su Yun is not a professional actor but a professional dancer.
Mi Wei'er's eyes were filled with longing: "If I can get this role, it will be a double blessing for me!"
"My first official TV drama role in my life was with my idol!"
At this point, Mi Wei'er patted her chest and said, "Oh my god, I get so nervous when I think about this! My heart is trembling!"
The tears that Xia Lili had just held back were about to burst out again when she heard this.
Looking at Mi Wei'er's phone screensaver, Xia Lili's attention was attracted by the little bear phone chain on her phone.
Xia Lili felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It turns out that this TV series means so much to Mi Wei'er!
But, fate seems to like playing jokes on people.
The rejected girl whom Mi Weier comforted was a human trafficker. She was sold to a foreign country and had no idea that she had passed the audition.
She missed her bright future and was dragged into hell on earth by evil spirits.
