"What stage are we at now?" Qiao Yuan asked with interest.
The young man fell silent and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Currently, there is not enough money, no script yet, and the actors are yet to be determined."
As he said this, he looked at Qiao Yuan again, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Would you like to make a cameo appearance? Don't worry, you'll definitely be the leading male role. Once my movie becomes a hit, your value will skyrocket!"
Qiao Yuan: "..."
So you want to get something for free?
…
At the same time, everyone in the car gradually started chatting.
Several big bosses in the front row were chatting about how many projects they had negotiated this year and how much money they had earned. One astonishing figure after another came out of their mouths calmly, which made several passengers around them feel itchy and they all begged the big bosses to take them with them.
"Meeting is fate. I'll create a group and invite you to join..."
“Thank you, boss!”
"We finally met a distinguished person."
“…”
Some people also talked about recent events.
"Alas, things like that have been happening too frequently lately. My second uncle's family next door died in the incident. It's so horrible..."
"Speaking of this, I can relate. I also experienced a special incident, which really scared me to death..." A passenger told his story.
Slowly...someone suggested that since it was quite boring in the car anyway, why not everyone tell a story about that kind of thing, whether it was something they heard online or something they experienced personally, just to help kill boredom.
This action was recognized by those in the back row behind Qiao Yuan.
After rejecting the young man's invitation, Qiao Yuan leaned back in his chair and chose to rest while listening to the stories of these passengers.
Maybe there will be some unexpected gains. When the time comes, I can get some special energy value, open the ghost door, and drop directly from all over the country!
…
Time passes by every second.
The passengers in the back row told a total of seven or eight stories.
Some are from personal experience, some are copied from the internet, and some are complete nonsense.
Now it was the turn of the man with glasses from the couple sitting behind Qiao Yuan.
"I...I can't tell stories." The man with glasses politely refused.
However, under the constant urging and instigation of the crowd, he was forced to tell the story.
…
"In previous movies and TV shows, people in a vegetative state would eventually be awakened by their friends and family. But in the real world, have you ever experienced someone calling your name, and then you turn around and see nothing?"
"Could it be that we are just vegetables, and that voice is our friends in the real world calling us?"
"Is this world just a figment of our imagination?"
"I have a friend..."
"He has contracted a strange disease, so severe that he can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality. Sometimes he feels like this is an illusory world, full of loopholes!"
"He went to see a doctor, who told him that his condition was serious and required immediate treatment, and that the first step in treatment was to try to distinguish between fantasy and reality."
"The doctor was a kind person. He said if my friend couldn't tell the difference between truth and lies, he could come and ask him. After returning from the hospital, my friend's condition improved significantly. But then one day... my friend horrifiedly recounted to the doctor what had happened over the past few days."
"How could he have a wife who claimed to be his wife? She kept bossing him around, beating and scolding him. My friend started to doubt her authenticity. When she saw my friend ignored her, she became even more furious and started crying and smashing things."
"Soon... she smashed the TV, refrigerator, phone, and computer to pieces..."
"My friend on the phone was terrified and didn't know what to do!"
"Then he asked the doctor if he was married and if he had a wife."
"The doctor told my friend that he doesn't have a wife."
"But next to my friend, I heard the woman swearing and smashing things..."
"Even after learning that all this was fake, my friend was still very scared and asked the doctor if there was anything he could do. The doctor told him that if she still cursed at him, he could take some measures to alleviate the symptoms."
"My friend seemed to understand something, said thank you to the doctor, and hung up the phone."
…
Having said this, the man with glasses stopped, and only then did he realize that the originally bustling car had become extremely quiet.
Everyone is looking at me!
"Is your friend okay? How did he get better?" a passenger asked curiously.
"In my opinion, the doctor was probably hallucinating. I bet a hundred dollars on it!" A passenger expressed his opinion.
After a brief period of calm, the bus became lively again because of this story.
"Gambling harms both you and yourself. I think your friend is probably dead, and your wife is probably a ghost. I'll bet you a thousand!"
"No gambling! You're all wrong. I think this is a classic case of paranoia. I'm raising the stakes!"
"Could this friend be you?"
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, and after discussing the bets, they all curiously asked the man with glasses.
"My friend, what about the ones behind?"
The man with glasses scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I don't remember. It's just a story that suddenly came to mind. I think I saw it online before."
Everyone: "..."
