Chapter 105 The Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Part Two) "Young Master..."
"Young master, why are you so rude? You hurt me." A charming female voice rang in my ears again, alluring and melodious, exceptionally seductive.
Song Yu felt a chill run down his spine; he was horrified to discover that it was the same voice that had just been singing.
No! This must be a procedure arranged by the director. There's no way to say where there's a walkie-talkie hidden in the room, and someone is speaking lines through a camera based on his reactions.
How could there possibly be ghosts in this world!
The blanket that had been thrown to the ground suddenly moved. Without any external interference, it somehow assumed a human-shaped posture, even giving the illusion of being alluring.
Song Yu felt there was definitely something wrong with his eyes!
He must be twenty-one years old and has never had a girlfriend before, which is why he finds even a quilt incredibly alluring.
There must be some kind of remote control or timer mechanism installed in that blanket. With a director as cunning as that, what wouldn't he do!
Unfortunately, this self-comfort only lasted a short time.
Song Yu watched as the quilt gracefully climbed onto the bed, and then a soft, boneless hand emerged from it, with slender, white fingers, long nails, and bright red henna.
"It's fortunate that you are so handsome, young master. I haven't seen such good looks in years, otherwise..." The woman's voice was still charming, but Song Yu was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
He stood frozen in place, his face pale, watching helplessly as the hand touched his face repeatedly; the fingers were icy cold, unlike anything a living person could feel.
"Aaaaaah!! There's a ghost!! Help!!" Song Yu screamed, her voice both pitiful and loud, but unfortunately, it seemed as if no one outside heard her, and there was no response whatsoever.
According to the normal procedure of "Tracing the Trail", even if he is an unknown 18th-tier celebrity, if he is really scared like this, the director would stop the action and come over to comfort him after seeing it on camera.
After all, this is just filming a TV show. If someone gets seriously frightened, he will be held responsible.
Song Yu's heart sank little by little. No matter how hard he tried to deceive himself, he had to admit that he had probably really encountered a supernatural event.
The blanket shifted slightly and snuggled closer to Song Yu, almost climbing on top of him. "Young master, you should save your energy. The night is still long."
The sound rang in his ears, and Song Yu could almost feel the breath he exhaled. The cold fingers traced across his neck, and the hard touch of the nails made him immediately shut his mouth.
When Lin You arrived, she saw a mission target with teary eyes, panicked and confused, with a question mark above his head.
Looking at the inhuman creature covered in blood, she casually cast an attack spell and then retrieved a protective talisman from her spatial storage.
Before she could even activate the talisman, the vengeful spirit in front of her vanished as if it were made of paper.
Lin You: ………?
She's just a newbie at the early stage of Qi Refining, and she's only used 30% of her strength. Even an ordinary person wouldn't be completely helpless against such a weak vengeful spirit.
Then she saw that the target of this mission was shaking even more violently, and even the question mark above his head was trembling.
Song Yu watched helplessly as the terrifying blanket ghost, before even having a chance to scream, was struck by a beam of light from the woman who appeared out of nowhere, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating into the air.
The hand that had just been stroking him crumbled and disappeared before his eyes like sand, as if it had never existed.
Looking at the figure floating in mid-air, also dressed in ancient attire, Song Yu's heart grew even colder.
The quilt that ghost used before had patterns from the late Qing Dynasty. Considering the rumors about this house, she could only have a hundred years of cultivation at most.
But the one before them was dressed in white, with a long skirt swaying and sleeves fluttering, clearly in the attire of the Jin and Wei dynasties. It must be a ghost from over a thousand years ago.
If he lies flat now, I wonder if he'll be able to leave a complete body. At least after his death is confirmed, his savings can be left to his younger brother who is still in school.
Lin You watched the target tremble for a while, then closed her eyes, lay on the bed, and slightly raised her neck, looking like she was ready to be picked.
Could it be that he was scared out of his mind by that vengeful spirit?
Lin You had no idea that she had frightened anyone. After all, her current attire was the most popular clothing in the cultivation world. This outfit was even made by the Second Elder, and besides its defensive function, it naturally gave her an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.
After wandering the cultivation world for a few years, Lin You had basically forgotten that most normal people would be frightened if they saw someone floating in mid-air.
In particular, she also sent system binding requests to people.
As a full-time employee, Lin You also enjoys some perks in small matters, such as being able to send binding requests directly through official channels.
The sound produced was an electronic mechanical tone, which sounded more formal than when she spoke herself.
If the target refuses to bind, she can choose to stay and try to persuade them to change their mind, or she can simply abandon the mission and move on to the next mission world.
Passively abandoning a task does not count as a task failure; you only need to pay a 50-point travel fee.
[Ding! The "Save the Cannon Fodder" system is applying for a binding contract. Please confirm!]
A mechanical voice echoed in his mind, startling Song Yu. He opened his eyes a crack and saw the white-clad female ghost staring at him menacingly.
Song Yu was even more desperate. He never expected that female ghosts these days would be so up-to-date, actually reading online novels.
I just don't know what this so-called contract is. I hope she just wants me to do things and not to make some kind of sacrifice.
With tears in her eyes, poor Song Yu confirmed the binding in her heart. The overwhelming despair and fear were sensed by Lin You through the contract, and the system, which had already been officially activated, fell silent.
She already has a physical form, so how could the mission target still mistake her for a ghost!
This guy is even more timid than Chu Nanfeng. Back then, Chu Nanfeng could still subtly get information out of her, but this guy was so scared that he directly bound himself to the contract.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost and I won't hurt you." After Lin You finished speaking, she suddenly realized that these words seemed a little familiar.
Well, she really wasn't good at persuasion, and the person she was tasked with became even more frightened.
In order not to become the first system to scare its own mission targets to death, Lin You finally remembered that she didn't actually need to float.
She landed lightly on the ground, and seeing her target flinch again, she quickly took a few steps back and stood in another corner of the room, keeping the furthest distance from him, waiting for him to calm down.
Seeing that Lin You had taken the initiative to indicate that she was harmless, Song Yu's emotions finally stabilized a little, at least her trembling was not so obvious anymore.
Anything Lin You says now will probably only add fuel to the fire, so she took advantage of the free time to check out the missions and plot of this world.
The target of this mission in this world is named Song Yu, an actor. This mission is to help Song Yu avoid dangers in the shadows and successfully win the Best Actor award.
The experienced Lin You was already familiar with solving the problem. The key to this task was not to get the trophy, but to avoid danger.
This is a world where supernatural beings exist. To avoid danger, you either need to protect him at all times to prevent those things from bothering him, or you need to give him the ability to solve dangers on his own.
Lin You glanced at Song Yu, successfully scaring him into shrinking back into the corner. With such a cowardly attitude, could he really fight on his own when faced with danger?
Alright, although he's a bit timid, this guy is quite vigilant, so he has some redeeming qualities.
Lin You continued to read the plot. In the plot of this world, there was still a special character, the so-called protagonist.
The protagonist is named Gu Yunting, a reborn rich second-generation. His family has considerable assets, and he has an older brother who is ten years older than him who takes over the company. As long as he honestly collects his dividends, he can live a carefree life.
In his past life, he was indeed like that. Not only did he not compete with his elder brother for power, but he also went to work in the entertainment industry. However, after half a lifetime and a lot of money, he was still a third-rate nobody.
After being reborn, he set his sights on a wildly popular web series from his previous life. Because of this series, Song Yu, who played the second male lead, went from being an unknown nobody to a highly sought-after actor.
Riding this wave of success, Song Yu rose to prominence, starring in one hit TV series after another, winning numerous awards.
Later, Song Yu switched to the film industry, where he starred in many classic films, which drew huge crowds and sold out of tickets. He also won the Best Actor award several times.
Finally, he directed and starred in his own film, which broke the box office record, making him a fortune and achieving both fame and wealth.
Upon seeing this, Lin You couldn't help but sigh, realizing that her mission truly didn't require worrying about the acting skills of the target.
She subconsciously looked up at the future movie star. Although Song Yu kept his head down, he still accurately sensed her gaze, and the contract immediately sent a strong sense of fear through him.
Lin You: …………
Well, acting skills aren't related to courage anyway. He has his own strengths, and the system should acknowledge the strengths of the task target.
Lin You turned her eyes away and could feel Song Yu immediately relax. She couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so she could only continue watching the following plot.
Gu Yunting is rich and powerful, so it's easy for him to snatch a minor role. However, after he took it, he also gave Song Yu some resources as compensation, which is the show he is currently participating in, "Tracing the Footprints".
Of course, his so-called compensation was based on the fact that in his previous life, the filming of this old house had resulted in a serious accident, with one of the five guests dying, one going insane, and the remaining three completely retiring from the entertainment industry. Even the production team was disbanded.
Gu Yunting naturally followed Song Yu's original path based on his memories from his previous life, but the ending was not described in detail in the story.
It was already late at night, but Song Yu's nerves were still taut. If this continued, things might really get out of hand.
Lin You secretly took out the Ice Flower Grass from her spatial storage. In a palm-sized flowerpot, there was a three-inch-long ice-blue spiritual grass. A faint, ethereal fragrance spread throughout the small room.
The scent of Ice Flower Grass can calm the mind and promote tranquility. Keeping it by your side during cultivation can block out distracting thoughts, making it very suitable for disciples who are just beginning their cultivation journey.
This Ice Flower Grass was something her master had traded with the Third Elder for a stack of math test papers when she first started cultivating. For ordinary people, its scent is calming and helps them sleep, making it perfect for Song Yu, who is currently under a lot of stress.
Lying in bed, Song Yu felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, and before he could even open his eyes, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Before falling asleep, the last thought that flashed through his mind was that he had heard that ghosts only absorb people's vital energy and do not eat flesh. He wondered if this female ghost, who had cultivated for a thousand years, could leave him a complete corpse.
Lin You, who has lived for no more than thirty years, is simply beyond words. Even if her appearance was a bit unusual, it's one thing to say she's a ghost, but where did she get the conclusion that she has cultivated for a thousand years?
But this guy's wish is too humble. He doesn't even dare to hope for survival? What exactly did that vengeful spirit do to him?
After Song Yu fell asleep, Lin You placed the Ice Flower Grass on his bedside. The tears hanging from the corners of the boy's eyes silently slid down and disappeared into his hair.
Seeing that she didn't even dare to cry out, Lin You could only sigh. The contract had already been signed, what else could she do?
However, she is indeed beautiful, with delicate and pretty features and smooth and delicate skin. Even compared with Ye Zhen's harem, she is not inferior at all.
They are indeed very well-suited to be celebrities.
