Chapter 116 A Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Thirteen) Song Yu Hangs...
The position where Song Yu was suspended by wires was two stories above the ground. Although there were soft pads underneath, she would still inevitably get injured if she fell.
There was even a metal support next to the mat, which no one knew who had placed there. If Song Yu had descended normally, he would have landed on the mat and wouldn't have touched the support.
However, one of the wires attached to him came loose, causing him to shift to the side and land right where the metal support structure was.
Before anyone could react, Lin You, who was eating snacks and watching a show in the corner, darted over quickly.
She grabbed the loose rope at the other end, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and leaped up. Using the force of the rope rising as Song Yu descended, she jumped more than a meter high.
Just as Song Yu was about to land on the somewhat sharp top of the support, Lin You grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up in time.
Song Yu looked at the metal support only half a meter away from him and his whole body trembled. If his grandmother had been two seconds slower, he probably would have turned into a kebab.
Lin You spun Song Yu around halfway before slowly loosening the rope and gently placing him on the mat.
She could have let go and jumped, but for the sake of Xiaosongyu's mental health, Lin You could only loosen the rope every now and then.
Because her body was newly formed, it didn't have much defensive ability. The ropes used for the harness were already a bit rough, and when Lin You let go, her palms were already red and swollen.
Director Qu then realized what had happened and rushed over, still shaken, to support Song Yu, who was still unsteady on her feet. She asked anxiously, "Are you alright? Is anything bothering you? Quick, call 120! We need to get her to the hospital for a thorough check-up!"
The staff all gathered around and carefully helped Song Yu and Lin You to a chair on the side, bringing them water and fanning them. Song Yu was still in a daze for a long time.
Lin You was fine, though. During her years in the cultivation world, she had indeed learned a lot and witnessed many things. Back then, such things weren't even considered dangerous.
However, Song Yu is timid by nature, and it wouldn't be good if this incident left him with any psychological trauma, since he'll inevitably have to do wire work scenes in the future.
Lin You comforted her, "It's alright. Didn't you bring a talisman? That thing is supposed to protect you from disasters. Even if I didn't intervene, you would only suffer minor injuries at most."
Despite her confident assertions, Song Yu still didn't quite believe her. Based on his knowledge of physics, he calculated that given his falling speed, angle, and the volume of the metal support top, he would definitely crash right into it!
Hearing him say that, Lin You then solemnly explained to him, "What you're talking about is materialism, but our talisman is at the metaphysical level. Metaphysics is multifaceted, and you've seen it before, so why are you making such a fuss?"
Although Song Yu's protective amulet was rather basic, it could indeed avert some of the disasters he faced, perhaps turning what would have been an immediate death into a serious injury.
Lin You thought for a moment, then took out another talisman and handed it to him: "This is a talisman drawn by my master. Take good care of it, and you will definitely be fine."
Song Yu took the seemingly ordinary talisman folded into a triangle. As soon as he held the talisman in his hand, a cool sensation rushed to his head, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Their conversation was entirely a spiritual exchange. To outsiders, it appeared as if Lin You was looking at Song Yu with loving eyes, which calmed Song Yu down from her initial trembling.
When the ambulance arrived, paramedics immediately carried a stretcher and rushed over from the vehicle. The people who called for help didn't see the details clearly and only said that two people had fallen from the wire, so they thought the injuries were very serious.
What we found instead were two injured people, looking quite energetic and discussing what to eat for dinner.
As for why Song Yu could also be called an injured person, it was simply because when Lin You grabbed him by the back of his neck, the clothes were pulled too tightly, and the inner ties made his shoulders red.
After a series of examinations and the couple's earnest explanations, the medical staff concluded that they were not seriously ill. They didn't even need to go to the hospital; they simply left two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao and went straight home.
After such an incident, the director naturally had to investigate the specific cause, so he immediately suspended the filming schedule, allowing Lin You and Song Yu to go back and rest, and even gave them a three-day holiday.
"This is probably the crisis that Young Master Gu knew about. It's truly impossible to guard against." Song Yu sighed, and couldn't help but touch the amulet hanging around her neck.
"He wasn't just targeting you, but you just happened to be the weakest one, so he started with you."
Lin You has already found this person through the internet.
On Gu Shao's computer, in one of the folders, were his memos.
"So we're just going to let him continue like this? Isn't there any way to deal with him?" Song Yu looked at Lin You, wanting to ask her if she had any ideas.
I don't know how such a treacherous and cunning person could get such an opportunity.
"You already have talisman books and the shop, so find a way to deal with this yourself." Lin You was capable of killing the other party directly, but this person was not just a reborn individual.
Based on this plot development, this guy is definitely the male protagonist, the chosen one. Although there is no explicit rule that the system cannot kill the chosen one, there are statistics on this topic on the forum.
Any system that stubbornly confronts the chosen one of destiny, even if it wins in the end, will most likely result in mutual destruction.
Failure to complete a mission is the norm. There was even a system that was damaged to its core, causing a player to drop from a level 20+ veteran to a level 5 newbie.
Lin You has no intention of going against the world's consciousness. As for Song Yu, he has been tricked into dying twice. If he wants to take revenge, even the Heavenly Dao will have nothing to say.
Xiao Songyu wasn't a ruthless person after all. After searching through the books for a long time, he finally found a memory fading spell.
The spell was actually created to prevent people from seeing the ghost-catching process and causing psychological trauma to ordinary people, blurring certain memories. However, it turned out to be surprisingly suitable for the reborn Gu Shao.
With a goal in mind, Song Yu began to study talismans diligently, just as hard as she had been working before the college entrance examination. As a result, she was praised by the talkative Golden Finger for quite a while.
Lin You then went to study her own physical condition. She tried to reappear after becoming invisible, and the injury on her hand did not change. So, does she now actually have a physical body?
While neither of them was paying attention to the online activity, the scene of Lin You rescuing someone was quietly uploaded to the internet.
Liu Yingying is a second-year junior high school student. Her parents have passed away, and she lives with her older brother. Her brother's demands on her are very humane: as long as she can maintain a ranking in the top five of the class in each monthly exam, she can go online as much as she wants for the month.
The girl is very self-disciplined and quick-witted. Her academic performance has never suffered, so she is not stopped from following celebrities online.
She used to be a fan of Xu Yufeng, but after Xu Yufeng's chaotic private life was exposed, the naive girl immediately stopped being a fan.
Then, she naturally became a fan of Song Yu, who was quite good-looking, and she was also one of the first fans to condemn Lin You for exploiting others.
Song Yu's background—that she too had lost both parents and lived with only her younger brother—naturally led the little girl to relate to her own family.
She couldn't help but like Song Yu, who was about the same age as her brother and had very similar experiences, even more.
Meanwhile, Song Yu's great-aunt, who held the position of assistant but did nothing and was taken care of by others, also brought into her family her own aunt, who had been invited from her hometown by her brother to take care of her.
She received double the salary of a regular nanny from her brother, yet she couldn't even earn a penny more than other nannies. The housework was poorly done, she had to wash her own clothes, the cooking was bland, and she was always interfering and nagging.
This isn't just hiring a nanny, it's like bringing home a tyrant!
Out of her family upbringing, she couldn't talk back to her elders, so she could only condemn Lin You's behavior and try to get Song Yu out of her predicament.
To her surprise, after finishing her homework and going online that day, she discovered that all her friends who had previously condemned the bloodsucking elders with her had betrayed her.
Even their group name, which was originally meant to condemn their great-aunt, was changed to "Great-Aunt's First Support Team" at some point.
She didn't quite understand some of the topics being discussed in the group, so she could only ask questions in confusion.
[Firefly: ??? ?]
[Firefly: What happened?]
[Grandma's awesome and powerful presence: Please see the pinned announcement and watch the short video!]
[Grandma is amazing! You can also check out xx's Weibo; we're waiting for you to come back. It's so sweet!]
[Grandma Forever: Hurry up and come back! If you keep dawdling, we won't be able to pick a good suffix!]
………
Liu Ying first clicked on the short video. It was indeed a very short video, only about a minute long, and the beginning was marked with a striking red pen.
[This video has been slowed down by two times; it was filmed live, please do not doubt it.]
The video begins with Song Yu's ethereal appearance, which prompted Liu Ying to take seven or eight screenshots from various angles before continuing to watch.
Then, the wires slipped, and Song Yu fell from the air. The idle aunt who they had been criticizing all along, as if she had some kind of kung fu, jumped up and pulled Song Yu down.
Before she could even cry out, she had already landed safely. But that gesture of grabbing the back of her neck... why did it seem so familiar?
Liu Ying didn't have time to think about where this sense of familiarity came from, and clicked on another video recommended by a friend in the group. This time, the video was played in much slower motion.
First, there's a scene where Song Yu is practicing swordsmanship in the practice room and accidentally hits her own head. Then, there's a huge close-up of the old lady's unbearable expression.
Next, there was a video of the two teaching each other in the neighborhood. Watching Song Yu go from not being able to perform sword flourishes at the beginning to having smooth and flowing sword moves later, Liu Ying finally came to her senses.
If this lady is so capable, why does she need to be Song Yu's assistant?
When Liu Ying asked this question in the group, the group members all agreed, saying that even within the film crew, one could be a martial arts instructor.
[Grandma's Radiant Aura: Did you guys notice? When Grandma practices swordsmanship, she's clearly more imposing than Little Fish!]
[Grandma Unifies the Martial World: You haven't seen the video analysis posts online yet, have you? That swordsmanship is truly effective in combat, and the level is extremely high.]
………
When Lin You went online again, she was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming praise. She had only gained some insights and cultivated for three days, so how could the news be spreading so widely online?
Qunxing Entertainment, which slightly fueled the fire and provided the sword-practicing video, said that since the video appeared online, it must have been approved by a big shot, so how could they not help?
As for the fact that the big boss didn't give a heads-up, with such an obvious hint, how could they not understand? It's an unspoken understanding.
Director Qu also called the police to investigate and found out the cause of the incident. It turned out that the machine was old and the staff did not check it carefully, which led to the accident. It was not intentional. In the end, the only thing that happened was that person was fired.
Lin You and Song Yu didn't raise any objections to the outcome of the matter, nor did they take the opportunity to ask for better treatment. Director Qu was touched by their thoughtfulness and added a few more scenes for them.
Song Yu's screen time directly surpassed that of the second male lead, and Lin You became the fourth female lead, leaving both of them somewhat bewildered.
