[Is he dead now? ? ]
[The actors are in great shape, and the audience wants to curse. I had high expectations, but it was like cutting vegetables.]
【Aaaaaaah! So cool! 】
[Boss: Started in hell, ended in fantasy; Zombie: Started in fantasy, ended in hell, horizontal banner: Boss is awesome. ]
…
On the screen outside the horror movie, the strange red light in the zombies' eyes gradually dissipated, and scenes from the past emerged and flashed by quickly.
It was a desolate mountain area. The boy heard the low roar of a wild animal and followed it along the way. Finally, he pushed aside the weeds and saw a little red fox with its front legs caught in a trap.
The kind-hearted boy rescued the fox and set it free. A few years later, the boy had grown into a young man. His family was poor and he could not get married.
One day, a beautiful injured woman appeared at the entrance of the village. The kind villagers helped her up. The woman said that she was trafficked to the mountains and had escaped with great difficulty. She had forgotten the way back and asked if they could take her in. Everyone readily agreed.
The woman seduced the young man named Yu An and eventually married him as she wished.
The honest young man married a beautiful wife, so the villagers naturally paid more attention to their family.
They gradually discovered that Yu An, who used to be energetic and strong, had a pale face and weak body.
Some people had already begun to notice that something was wrong. They were just about to go down the mountain to ask the Taoist priest for help, but when they heard that the woman was pregnant, they immediately relaxed, thinking that Yu An was exerting too much force on the woman, which caused her to look increasingly haggard.
When Yu Lang learned that his wife was pregnant, he jumped for joy, but the vixen turned pale. However, she finally chose to keep the child.
Her belly grew bigger day by day. When she was seven or eight months old, the fox woke up one day and found that her tail was exposed!
Yu Lang was still snoring beside her, and didn't notice her abnormality. The vixen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the roof with empty eyes. She seemed to be thinking that it would be over in another month or two.
As she was about to give birth, the village chief and villagers enthusiastically hired a midwife. Several grown men stayed outside with Yu Lang, while the women went in to help. Heart-wrenching cries of pain came from the house, and when the baby was about to come out, the women's screams and howls were heard from the house.
The blood-stained woman suddenly turned into a fox, and the child she gave birth to also turned into a fox.
The women fled in all directions, while the men immediately went down the mountain to look for the Taoist priest.
Yu Lang in the house learned the truth and cried while hugging the fox spirit. To him, it didn't matter whether it was a fox or a human, because she was his wife. Yu An was about to explain to the villagers, but the Taoist priest who came over was instigated by the villagers to catch the fox spirit.
"Master, you can't let her harm us!"
All the kind-hearted villagers seemed to have changed their faces. They were so excited that they took farm tools to beat the weak vixen.
Yu Lang went to protect his lover, but was beaten to death by the crazy villagers.
Half of the vixen's head was smashed, and she lay on the bed pretending to be dead to save her life.
She just wanted to repay a favor, but ended up hurting her benefactor and losing her love forever.
The monster was dead, and the villagers were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they noticed wrinkles on Yu An's face.
The Taoist priest's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! I'm going to turn into a zombie!"
Before Yu Lang died, he was angry and resentful, and there was a high possibility that he would turn into a powerful zombie. The villagers felt guilty for accidentally killing him, so they simply raised money to buy a copper-horned golden coffin, and then found a Feng Shui treasure land to bury him with a guilty conscience.
The vixen, who was only breathing her last, fled quietly, sucked the energy of several villagers, and finally saved her life. She watched the villagers carry away the coffin containing Yu Lang and her child, with a tear in her eyes.
What followed was twenty years of waiting and watching.
The dream was still shattered.
…
Xie Xinglan put away his sword and fell to the ground, and his cell phone suddenly rang.
[Ending 1 of "Zombie Lover" is about love: a love between zombies and puppets that transcends life and death is achieved; Ending 2 of "Zombie Lover" is about dreams that are shattered: a love between zombies and monsters that transcends race is achieved. Both endings are achieved.]
[Congratulations on receiving the reward for completing Ending 2: 300 points. ]
Outside of horror movies:
[It's actually quite reasonable. One transcends life and death, and the other transcends race. The theme together is that love can transcend life and death and race. The theme is really awesome.]
[Is it about to end? ]
[You forgot about the law of repayment? I'm particularly curious about how to repay. If the law favors the big guys so much, will it be a case of much ado about nothing? ]
[No way, the way of heaven is the most fair, it won't do that. ]
【Huh? Suddenly nervous.】
Yan Jing's cell phone also rang. He was about to rush up to congratulate Xie Chi, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked at the Bagua in Xie Chi's hand, and fear gradually emerged in his eyes.
Xie Xinglan's face was gloomy: "Don't come over! Retreat!"
On the Bagua plate, the energy of the Five Elements gradually converged, seemingly retreating silently, but an extremely terrifying force was slowly emerging.
Yan Jing paused, feeling a great sense of uneasiness in his heart: "@...&#*?"
Xie Chi: "Don't worry about it, back off."
The backlash of the law was about to begin, and he was afraid that Yan Jing would be affected.
The townspeople had originally lived under the shadow of zombies, but now they were suddenly rescued by a strange man, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal admiration and gratitude.
Xie Xinglan looked at Taoist Lianxi and signaled him to retreat, but Taoist Lianxi did not retreat. He smiled and said, "I am doomed to die, old man."
Xie Xinglan was startled for a moment, then realized: "You bet your life on this earth element?"
Taoist Master Lianxi smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am at a loss."
It’s such a pity. My life has been lost in vain.
On the gossip, the five elements of energy were churning violently, and Xie Xinglan's hands were numb. He said lightly: "What do you think of me?"
Taoist Master Lianxi smiled bitterly: "You definitely don't want to hear the answer. I don't want to be strangled by you before I die, so I won't say it."
Even if a person borrows one line, he may not be able to survive the repayment, let alone Xie Chi who borrowed four lines. With such repayment, Xie Chi would definitely die.
Taoist Master Lianxi glanced at him and thought it was a pity.
Xie Xinglan seemed to know it very well, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I think I can survive."
It is one thing to be clear, and another to feel that you can definitely do it.
Taoist Master Lianxi widened his eyes.
Xie Chi said softly: "Brother, I believe it."
Xie Xinglan smiled.
The next second, the overwhelming power of laws burst out from the Bagua, and the townspeople and Yan Jing who were on the periphery were instantly shocked away.
On the Bagua plate, the power of the Five Elements first separated into a small beam of ochre color and penetrated into Taoist Lianxi's body.
That was the earthly act that agreed to borrow Taoist Priest Lianxi's rules.
After the power of earth penetrated into Taoist Lianxi's body, he instantly turned pale and had difficulty breathing. The blood flow slowed down, almost stagnating. His heart was beating abnormally due to lack of blood supply. In less than a few seconds, his face turned an onion-like purple-red.
The Bagua seemed to be stuck to Xie Xinglan's hand, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. Xie Xinglan was ready to help Taoist Lianxi, but Taoist Lianxi shook his head with difficulty: "It's useless... I can only rely on... myself."
These words were almost squeezed out from between teeth.
After another seven or eight seconds, Taoist Lianxi had fallen to the ground, as hard as a rock, with no sign of life in his wide-open eyes.
The Earth Element got the reward it wanted.
[Died? ]
[I am a little reluctant to see the Taoist priest die. Although he talks a lot, he is a really good person. ]
[To be honest, I think this is a bit inconsistent with zombie movies. Isn't it true that good and evil will eventually be rewarded in zombie movies? The Taoist priest is so kind, but he didn't get a good ending. ]
[The Taoist priest borrowed a little and it was all gone, but the big guy borrowed so much, isn’t it all over? ? ]
【Ahhhh no, my male god, please don’t die. 】
Taoist Master Lianxi, who was talking to him half a minute ago, is now just a corpse. Xie Xinglan pursed his lips and looked at him quietly, without any sorrow in his eyes. They are the same person but have different fates. He will not die, even if he has to pay Taoist Master Lianxi back a hundred times.
"Xiao Chi, are you afraid?"
Xie Chi smiled and said, "Brother is here."
The next moment, all the five elements power on the disk were injected into Xie Chi's fragile body. The five elements power leaked out in all directions, instantly shaking the people around him further away. Those with weaker physical conditions were directly shaken to spit blood.
Even a powerful zombie was knocked back more than a hundred meters. Yan Jing got up in a panic and ran towards where Xie Chi was, crying as he ran.
He finally figured out the cause and effect. Xie Chi must have used the art of borrowing the law, and now it was time for the law to backfire .
Taoist Priest Yidian Tulianxi died, and Xie Chi...
Yan Jing didn't dare to think about it.
Only half of the Five Elements Power was injected, and Xie Chi's fragile body reached the critical value, and it seemed that it would explode into blood clots and scatter in the next second.
Xie Xinglan supported himself with the sword, straightened his back which had been bent a little bit, and stood up. Every movement seemed to be painful to the bone. He said nothing, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
He is different from Taoist Master Lianxi. Taoist Master Lianxi clearly traded his life with Tuxing, so Tuxing directly took Taoist Master Lianxi's life and was quite merciful not to let Taoist Master Lianxi suffer.
He just borrowed and didn't say what he would give in return, so Wuxing felt that how much he took was enough. It also depends on Wuxing's mood, but Wuxing may not necessarily want his life.
The power of the five elements was still being injected, and Xie Xinglan's fingers began to twitch, and his fingertips were almost embedded in the sword.
He was experiencing both ice and fire inside his body. Sometimes he was so cold that frost formed on his face, and sometimes he felt so hot that his whole body was on fire and his skin was faintly red.
The metal element roamed freely in the body, cutting off tiny meridians and destroying the internal organs. Xie Xinglan's body suddenly became a mess. He finally couldn't hold on any longer, and knelt on one knee with his sword in hand, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was mixed with broken internal organs.
[This is a sure thing. ]
【I closed my eyes.】
【I cried. Fuck.】
[Still very handsome. ]
Wood, which was always kind, did not choose to let him go, but it was not as arrogant as water, fire, and metal. It absorbed his vitality.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Every bit of power that does not belong to you will come at a huge price.
The body finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cracks first appeared on the back of Xie Xinglan's hand. It was obvious that the power of the Five Elements needed an outlet. After being unable to expand inside the body, they desperately wanted to stretch out this body and disperse.
Compared with the way of heaven, the human body seems too insignificant.
Xie Xinglan's eyes were completely dark.
"Brother!" Xie Chi's voice was trembling.
Xie Xinglan opened his eyes, spat out another mouthful of blood, and coaxed softly, "It's okay."
He said he was fine, but more and more cracks appeared on his face and body.
A crack on his forehead gradually widened and reached the bridge of his nose. Bright red, sticky blood flowed down, making him look dark and evil. His eyes were as black as ink, and there was no trace of despair in them.
He hasn't taken Xiaochi out yet, he hasn't hugged Xiaochi yet, so he won't die.
The injection of the five elements is coming to an end.
The Five Elements were not trying to kill him. If that were the case, he should have died in less than half a minute like Taoist Master Lianxi, instead of suffering.
Heaven only wants him to pay back, but does not want his life.
——Tiandao likes him, Xie Xinglan chuckled.
How could Heaven not have partiality? If it had no partiality, why didn't He lend money to most people, but lent so much to him? He knew clearly that he couldn't pay it back, but he still lent so much to him.
If Heaven has no preference, why must it lend only to people with the same attributes? This is clearly xenophobia.
If the Heaven was really cruel to him, why would it go to the trouble of torturing him in every way? Wouldn't it be better to just give him a quick death? Since he is still alive, it means that the Heaven was not merciful and left him a chance to live.
Xie Xinglan had already turned into a bloody man.
The more dangerous the moment, the calmer Xie Chi became. He was silent for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Brother, I understand! Give up your body! Hold on to the spiritual platform and give up your body completely! Don't resist! Return your body to him!"
The human body is simply unable to resist the laws of nature. Under the torture of the five elements, Xie Xinglan's death is only a matter of time.
But what Heaven wants is Xie Xinglan’s repayment, not Xie Xinglan’s life.
Repayment does not mean death.
The collapse of will and the disappearance of spiritual intelligence is the true death.
Xie Chi finally understood what Heaven meant - Xie Xinglan would return his body to him, and he would spare Xie Xinglan's life.
For humans, when the physical body dies, the person dies. The physical body can almost be said to be everything. But to the Way of Heaven, the physical body is just a lump of meat and nothing else.
It is just like the five elements recognize people by their qi and soul, rather than by their blood, and the physical body is just a carrier of people.
As long as Xie Xinglan's will is not extinguished, he will not die.
"Okay." Xie Xinglan said with a smile.
…
[The boss is completely broken! ! ]
[Aaaaaaah, this rubbish zombie movie said good deeds will be rewarded, I'm crying, I'm banished to the cold palace! ]
[The mourning team in front is taking their positions. ]
【Woo woo woo woo woo.】
[Dead, actually dead, I don't want Five Elements as my boyfriend anymore, Five Elements is a scumbag, I'll throw it away after using it, I don't want to love Five Elements, I want to prefer Five Elements. 】
【Chichi woo woo woo! 】
[I unfollowed him with tears in my eyes. This is my favorite actor in the past two years. 】
…
When Yan Jing arrived, he found that the faint connection between his blood and Xie Chi's was gone.
Xie Chi... is dead?
Yan Jing's blood instantly turned cold, the cold rain wet his face, mixed with tears, and there was unprecedented confusion in Yan Jing's eyes.
Xie Chi is dead?
He looked around like crazy, but didn't sense any human-shaped creature.
Xie Chi...did he die in pieces?
Yan Jing knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
His life was saved by Xie Chi, but Xie Chi fell into the copy because of the rules.
The townspeople howled in fear as they watched Xie Xinglan shatter into pieces. This scene became their eternal nightmare.
The savior who saved them was killed by the ruthless heaven.
They are insignificant like grass and do not receive any mercy from God. This is the cruel truth hidden beneath the peaceful surface.
Someone started sobbing softly, and a sad atmosphere spread instantly. In the heavy rain, the faces of everyone who witnessed this scene were lifeless.
Dawn suddenly broke in the east, a dazzling white light shone in, and the long night seemed to be ending, but it seemed like it would never end.
The gossip that had been forgotten in the corner suddenly trembled, and the power of the five elements gathered again, rushing in one direction with dazzling light. The townspeople closed their eyes one after another, and when they opened their eyes again, they saw the scene in front of them and trembled all over.
【Ah ...
[I am dreaming???]
After a night of rain, a man appeared at the end of the road. He was well-dressed and had a gentle face. He was originally fair-skinned, but now he was even fairer and more radiant. His skin was so smooth that it seemed that water would come out if you pinched it lightly. The flaws on his face had been modified, and he was almost perfect. Every cell was full of vitality.
Everything in the world is made up of the five elements. The human body is also made up of the five elements. Heaven destroyed one of his bodies as compensation, and then out of favoritism, it was easy for it to rebuild a new one for him.
His body is dead, but his will lives on, which is the chance of life that God has left for him.
His physical abilities and appearance had been improved to a certain extent, and his six senses were sharper than ever before.
the most important is……
Xie Chi felt the chip in his hand.
The chip that was embedded in his body when he was born was taken out by God. He didn't know if he would still get sick, but he had obviously gotten rid of the PET1.0 mark. He was no longer a "pet" with a price tag that could be monitored at any time, but a living person.
This was what he had longed for most.
Xie Chi laughed softly.
[Alive, alive!!!]
[Why are you alive?! ]
[I don’t care why he’s alive, I’m happy and that’s all! ! I’ve fallen in love with zombie movies again. ]
【I fell in love with the law again!!】
[My brother has become more handsome, I want to rub him. 】
[It’s good for a man not to rely on his face? ! ]
"Ghost!!!" The townspeople thought they saw a ghost and fled in all directions.
“@&*#——!” Yan Jing rushed up, his nose and eyes were red, which matched his zombie face and looked funny and hilarious.
"Everyone said it's okay." Xie Chi said with a smile.
"%@#*@*!"
Xie Chi watched him dancing helplessly.
Countless Taoists just arrived at Huai'ao Town and began to slaughter the little zombies.
The power of the five elements on the Bagua plate began to fade away and merge into the boundless world. In the end, only a gentle beam of wood was left hovering in the plate, seemingly hesitant.
Xie Chi just happened to walk over, picked up the dirty gossip, looked at the bundle of wood, and said with a smile: "Do it if you want."
As if encouraged, the bundle of wood did not leave with his other four brothers and sisters. Instead, it quietly slipped to Taoist Lianxi. It leaped twice, as if saying goodbye to Xie Chi, and then drilled into Taoist Lianxi's body.
Life blossomed in Taoist Lianxi, and it was only a matter of time before he came back to life.
【Ahhh, good things happen, good things happen. 】
[What a savior! Why am I so moved by a horror movie? So gentle and sweet. 】
Xie Chi and Yan Jing's cell phones rang——
[The horror film "Zombie Lover" has come to an end and is about to be teleported away. Because props have fallen, the actors will stay for a while. ]
[This film is of purple quality, and privacy protection is activated. The process of obtaining props will not be shown to the audience, so actors, please rest assured. 】
Xie Chi was a little surprised and smiled. He had never received such treatment before when he got props in a shoddy film. He got a lucky buff, and the audience should know it. He didn't expect it to be so thoughtful.
In low-quality films, the actors are almost unknown, so they don't have to worry about arousing jealousy and resentment. In films of slightly higher quality, props are generally more precious and can be used as the actors' trump cards, so it is indeed necessary to cover them up, and it can be regarded as a face-saving measure given by the APP to them.
Outside of the horror film, the big screen went dark. The audience was used to this and patiently waited for the comprehensive evaluation of the actors.
"The props actually exploded."
"Boss, since your completion rate is so high, isn't it normal for him to drop an item?"
"That's true, but the items dropped in zombie movies are usually exclusive to zombie movies. Do you think Xie Chi will stay in the zombie movie forever? If so, we will have benefits. Tsk, cool."
"I kind of want to watch Chi Chi's previous films."
"I remember he seemed to be a newcomer? No, I have to go out and confirm it."
"If he's a newcomer, plus this one, should he be able to be in the top ten new talents? Can he be invited to that variety show? I'm kind of looking forward to it."
"Hehe, I'm going to find out later whether he has multiple personalities."
"Guess what item Chi Chi will get?"
"Puppetry?"
"A refined gossip similar to Lu Wen's?"
…
The dirty Bagua that Xie Chi was holding suddenly began to spin and split into two.
Xie Chi's phone rang——
[Item detected: Bagua that can summon the power of the five elements (low-end, can only be used in zombie movies, can be used twice). ]
[Item detected: Bagua that can summon the power of the five elements (low configuration, used in all copies, number of times it can be used: once). ]
[Please choose one of the two as your reward item. ]
[Explanation of prop effects: The actor summons the power of the five elements, which briefly has a super strong burst, and then backfires on himself. Because it is a low-end, the backlash will not be fatal. How much power of the five elements can be summoned depends on the number of people who participate in the borrowing of the power, and the borrower's own strength, character, and potential. ]
Xie Chi was not in a hurry to make a choice, but first opened the APP and typed the question [The difference between specialization and omnipotence.] in the search box.
He is not sure whether he wants to continue to stay in zombie movies. He likes challenges and hates mechanical repetition. But if he continues to make zombie movies and earns points quickly, he will definitely stay.
After all, when shooting the same type of film, experience and props are accumulated very quickly, and the difficulty of this type of film will be greatly reduced for him.
The APP quickly gave the answer——
The difference between specialization and omnipotence:
Specialization: Using zombie movies as an example, if an actor shoots a movie with all its flaws and gets first place in the overall evaluation for the first time, he will get 500 points. If he shoots a movie with all its flaws and gets first place in the overall evaluation for the second time, he will get 300 points. If he shoots a movie with all its flaws and gets first place in the overall evaluation for the third time, he will get 100 points. The score will decrease gradually. Unless the difficulty of horror movies increases, the score of the next entry for horror movies of the same difficulty and theme will be several dozen to several hundred points less than the previous entry. 】
Xie Chi suddenly realized, that is to say, if he chooses a zombie movie with more flaws than merits next time, he can only get 300 points if he ranks first in the overall evaluation. But if he chooses a zombie movie with a higher difficulty, the reward for the first challenge will be normal, and the reward for the second challenge will still be reduced.
This is to maintain a balance. If an actor specializes in a certain type of horror film, he will inevitably accumulate experience and props, and the difficulty of horror films will be greatly reduced for him. If the rewards remain the same, it will be unfair to those who have dabbled in various horror films.
So if he chooses to specialize, he will have to endure the decreasing rewards and the huge consumption of time, and correspondingly, he will be safer and his life will be more secure.
If specialization is like funds, which rise steadily and slowly, then all-rounder is probably stocks, which is to pick different types of horror movies, earn the highest score the first time, never repeat the same type of difficulty, brush up the score quickly, have a high danger level, and have difficulty accumulating props.
Xie Chi smiled: "Brother?"
"Need I say more?" Xie Xinglan said lazily.
Xie Chi chose [Low Configuration, Use in All Dungeons, Once.]
