Chapter 156 Making a Move



"..."

The moment Song Mengmeng dialed the number, the black hair that was pouring out of the bathroom visibly paused. It had thought it could sense the girl's fear, but unexpectedly...

"Hey, can you still climb out? Do you need me to help you?" After finishing her call, Song Mengmeng turned back to the bathroom door, squatted down, and examined the black hair that was now floating out with the overflowing water with great interest. Then, without giving the black-haired monster any time to react, she reached out and grabbed the not-so-thin strand of hair. Amid the hysterical screams of the hair's owner, she forcefully pulled the culprit blocking the bathtub drain out of the tub.

With a blank expression, Song Mengmeng reached out and, just as the black-haired monster tried to resist, shoved the burning spiritual fire directly into its face.

With a heart-wrenching scream, the black-haired monster instantly transformed into a small, pearl-like condensed form.

Without much hesitation, the little girl stuffed it into her mouth like a roasted chestnut, crunching and swallowing it quickly.

It's not a lot, but something is better than nothing!

Hotel staff, having received the news, quickly arrived and, after checking the condition of the bathroom, swiftly resolved the issue for her.

Song Mengmeng remained silent about what had just happened, but she didn't miss the fleeting shadow and glint of light in the mirror...

Although Song Mengmeng had a minor accident in the middle of the night, it didn't actually have a significant impact. The next morning, the little girl happily went to the film studio with Yao Anna.

However, today's filming was clearly not as smooth as yesterday's.

It was obvious that Gu Panpan, who performed well yesterday, was not in good form today and her overall performance was quite poor. The problems in several group scenes were all due to her.

Well, it's mainly her facial expression that's making her seem a bit out of control!

That stiff smile exuded a sinister, ghostly aura. This terrifying performance made the director, who had been overseeing everything, finally lose his temper and start yelling at Gu Panpan.

Fortunately, although Gu Panpan was being scolded badly, she did not run away crying and waiting to be comforted as usual. Instead, even with tears welling up in her eyes, she still stood obediently in front of the director and sincerely apologized to the furious director.

Song Mengmeng watched Gu Panpan's every move from the side, but didn't say much. Instead, she watched as the director finally changed the shooting content and let apologetic Gu Panpan go back to rest.

Will she take a break?!

Of course not!

Although it's uncertain whether the thing that crawled out of the bathtub yesterday was at Gu Panpan's behest, at least today Gu Panpan's condition seems much worse than when they parted last night!

So there must be some reason for this!

Song Mengmeng was not in a hurry. She calmly observed Gu Panpan's every move until she saw Gu Panpan stand up and slowly leave with her assistant.

She had originally planned to find an excuse to follow, but after only two steps, she was stopped by the assistant director, because Gu Panpan had stood her up, and they would have to take over the rest of the filming.

Unable to escape, Song Mengmeng had no choice but to obediently return to the director and begin preparing for filming.

Song Mengmeng's performance in this scene was naturally fine, but because several other actors were not quite in the zone, it took four takes to get it right.

By the time Song Mengmeng walked to the rest area outside, Gu Panpan, who had been in her sight before, had disappeared.

Song Mengmeng sighed with some regret, but didn't dwell on it too much!

The scenes aren't over yet, so Gu Panpan shouldn't be leaving so soon!

Gu Panpan takes a day off at a time.

By the time Song Mengmeng and Yao Anna finished filming for the day and returned to the hotel, the city lights were already on. The streets outside the film studio weren't exactly bustling, and the two were indeed quite exhausted after a long day of filming, so they didn't linger and went straight to their room to sleep.

But as soon as Song Mengmeng stepped into the elevator, she realized something was wrong.

The elevator walls were reflecting light, so they were essentially surrounded by mirrors on all four sides!

She stared silently at her own increasingly eerie smile appearing on the wall in front of her, gave a cold snort, and slapped it down, eliciting a shrill scream in response.

Yao Anna, who was following beside her, obviously didn't notice anything. After pressing the floor number, she turned around and asked Song Mengmeng if she was hungry and if she needed to order takeout.

"No need, someone will deliver the takeout soon!" Song Mengmeng glanced at the ghostly figure in the mirror that had vanished in a flash, then turned to Yao Anna with a sweet smile and said confidently, "You're all exhausted today, let's go back and get some rest!"

"You ordered takeout?" Yao Anna was taken aback. They had been together the whole way and hadn't seen Song Mengmeng order takeout! But she wasn't stupid. Seeing Song Mengmeng's happy state, she realized that Song Mengmeng was obviously overthinking things. She raised an eyebrow at Song Mengmeng as if she had just realized something, giving her a knowing look: "Okay, then you can eat slowly. I won't disturb you while you enjoy your lovingly prepared meal!"

After she finished speaking, they arrived at the floor. Yao Anna smiled at Song Mengmeng and went directly into her room, which was not far from the elevator.

After saying goodnight to Yao Anna, Song Mengmeng went straight back to her room. Instead of calling Yan Di, she went directly into the bathroom, which seemed perfectly normal at the moment.

She stood in front of a mirror that took up half the wall, smiling as she reached out and touched its smooth surface before whispering, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who do you think is the cutest and prettiest girl in the world?!"

"..."

Looking at the mirror that didn't react at all, Song Mengmeng tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, don't you think I'm the cutest and prettiest girl in the world?!"

"..."

Tiny water droplets appeared on the mirror, like beads of sweat on a person's forehead, but despite this unusual phenomenon, Song Mengmeng still did not receive the response she wanted.

"So you're mute?!" Song Mengmeng finally lost her patience. She withdrew her hand from the mirror, clasped it together, and the smile on her face vanished instantly. She coldly stared at the still unassuming mirror in front of her, and without any further politeness, slammed her fist heavily into it...
