Chapter 070 1552 Haunted House (02)
"What are you laughing at?" Ren Ze gritted his teeth, "Just get it clear, it's my sister who likes you, not me. She is her, I am me, and I will never let you go."
The shells of his ears were suspiciously red, but he was saying harsh words and his eyes were sinister.
Xie Chi stopped laughing. He himself also had a dual personality and knew that the wishes of the secondary personality were not equal to the wishes of the main personality.
"Don't be angry." Xie Chi rarely met someone of his kind, so he couldn't help but say a few more words. He raised his arm with some interest, "Look."
"What are you looking at?" Ren Ze tilted his head and looked coldly at the dazzling white arm. Xie Chi was thin, and the arm was also thin, slender and well-proportioned.
"I don't have much hair either, just like you. It's good, not ugly, right? It's just body hair, and it doesn't equal a man's dignity."
Ren Ze was choked, feeling angry and amused at the same time. His expression softened a little and he snorted coldly.
After a while, Xie Chi asked in a low voice: "By the way, excuse me, are you her brother or her boyfriend?" After all, he also called him brother, but brother means boyfriend.
"Are you a fucking beast?!" Ren Ze suddenly said angrily.
Xie Chi was confused. How was he a beast?
Although Ren Ran acts very young, maybe she is just trying to be cute. A girl's age is something that cannot be defined.
When Ren Ran asked him for an autograph, Ren Ze was so angry. It might be that he was simply a sister complex, or it might be that he was jealous like a boyfriend.
"You're so bold. Who would develop that kind of relationship with their own personality?"
Xie Chi coughed violently: "...That's right, you are right."
"Ran Ran is only in his teens."
"Sorry, I guessed wrong. So you came here to let her get a body and separate from you?" Xie Chi paused and added humbly, "I'm just curious. You don't have to answer."
Ren Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the gentle and refined Xie Chi. He always felt that this person was asking questions with bad intentions, as if he knew something and was particularly interested in him, but his guesses were indeed correct, and Ren Ze looked a little unhappy.
His wish was unique, yet it was revealed so easily.
"I won't tell you." Ren Ze said with a pout.
Xie Chi smiled, so the answer was "yes", which meant that even his wish was the same as his.
…
The five people in the car had a brief conversation, and then they arrived at their destination in the evening. The car stopped in front of a mansion that looked exactly the same as the one on the poster.
After everyone got off the bus , everyone's cell phones rang, and Xie Chi took out his own phone to check.
A few notes about "1552 Haunted House":
1. The longest duration of this film is 6 days. You can end it early if you complete the exploration in advance.
2. This film is a purple card, and its quality outweighs its flaws. After the filming is completed, the actor ranked first in the overall ranking will be rewarded with 600 points (500×1.2), and the points for other actors will be reduced gradually.
3. All rewards of this film will be multiplied by 1.2 times.
4. There are hidden plot exploration hints during the filming process. Actors are requested to carefully consider the correct exploration direction to avoid going astray.
5. The character's personality is not important in this film. The actor's behavior must conform to the basic logic of the character, otherwise points will be deducted depending on the severity of the situation.
"Basic logic of character setting?" Lu Wen was a little confused.
Xie Chi pushed his glasses up: "Basic logic is probably the logic that excludes personality factors. It is a simple logic of cause and effect. For example, you are hungry, so you eat. This has nothing to do with personality. People of all personalities will do this. As long as our basic logic is correct, and we don't mess around and don't act recklessly without logical support, there will be no problem."
Lu Wen nodded. He understood what Xie Chi said. To put it bluntly, the APP gave them the greatest degree of freedom of movement while ensuring the smooth progress of the plot, and tried not to limit them by character settings.
Xie Chi counted and found that there were thirteen people in total including him, seven newcomers plus Zhao Jinhua, and the remaining five should be cannon fodder or actors who joined.
【You Jing’s mother really came in. 】
【Then there is no suspense. 】
[The previous one is wrong. The title is based on the total historical points. The more points you have, the better the title. As long as you stay here long enough and don't die, you can always get a higher score. It doesn't mean that the person is strong in overall strength, it just means that she has a lot of experience and props. ]
【Chizai’s mother is here again!!!】
[I don't understand why Xie Chi came here. He is afraid of the worst. He is really not afraid of being assassinated! ]
[I'm really curious about Xie Chi's props. I haven't seen them yet.]
Xie Chi's phone rang——
[Filming has officially begun, the plot progress has been updated, actors are now requested to enter the mansion and do not leave the mansion area. ]
Xie Chi stuffed his phone into his shirt pocket.
Of the thirteen people, except Xie Chi, Lu Wen and Ren Ze, the rest all gathered around You Jing and his mother.
Ren Ze was probably a lone wolf, and walked in alone. You Jing was surrounded by people and glanced at Xie Chi from a distance. Seeing that Xie Chi did not react, he went in first, leaving Xie Chi with his back.
A fat chef greeted them at the house. The chef had layers of fat on his belly, and he had a fat head and big ears, like a pig. His skin seemed to be stretched out by fat, and it was very thin and white, as if it was swollen after being soaked in water for a long time.
The fat chef said, "Congratulations on winning the six-day luxury home experience. I will take care of your food and accommodation for these six days, so don't worry."
The fat chef was explaining some trivial information while Xie Chi looked around the house.
The mansion is three stories high and very old. The walls are painted reddish-brown, which gives people a somewhat depressing feeling. They are standing on a soft and thick gray-red carpet, and the furnishings in the house are also very old.
Xie Chi had a sensitive nose and always felt that there was a strange smell in the house.
Lu Wen stamped his feet beside him: "The house seems to be made of wood."
Xie Chi nodded. The haunted houses in haunted house movies are mostly wooden houses. It is easy to understand. If the floor is tiled, the sound when people walk on it is very muffled and small. If it is made of wood, the noise will be very loud, which makes it convenient for ghosts to deliberately leave noise to scare people. This is a general routine in haunted house movies.
After the fat chef finished his instructions, he said, "I'll take you to your room to put down your luggage first."
The fat chef was a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect so many of you to come. We only have seven rooms in total, so I'm sorry to bother you to stay in pairs."
Lu Wen looked at Xie Chi: "Let's stay in the same room."
Xie Chi had no objection.
There were thirteen people and seven rooms. Each person had to live in a room alone. No one wanted to be alone, so they quickly formed groups of two or three or four people into one room, leaving Ren Ze alone. He looked indifferent.
The fat chef glanced at his watch and said, "If everything is ok, let's have dinner at 6:30 after you get settled. I can make it in time now. It will be a delicious meal and I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Xie Chi stared at the fat chef's face, and always felt that there was something weird in his amiable smile.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wen asked from the side.
"Nothing." Xie Chi frowned slightly and said nothing more.
After distributing the keys, the fat chef walked towards the kitchen. Xie Chi took the keys and went to their residence, while Lu Wen went downstairs to get the luggage.
The guest rooms are all on the third floor, with seven rooms distributed on both sides of the corridor.
Xie Chi's room is at the innermost side on the left.
At the innermost side of the corridor, there were several vases taller than people. Xie Xinglan was the first to walk up and hid behind the vases by turning sideways.
He hid his body and watched You Jing and Zhao Jinhua enter the outermost room on the left, and Ren Ze enter the middle room on the left.
Xie Chi noted down each person's room one by one, and waited until everyone had gone in and closed the door before he came out from behind the vase and took out the key to open the door as if nothing had happened.
[Damn, Chi Chi is so defensive. ]
【fear.】
Lu Wen also came up with some things.
Xie Chi opened the door. There were two beds placed side by side in the room. It was fairly clean. After they decided who would sleep in which bed, Lu Wen, who was standing by the window, suddenly exclaimed, "Xie Chi, come and see!"
Xie Chi closed the door casually and walked over to take a look. There was a black decoration placed on the short and wide wardrobe. From the back, it looked like a burnt coconut shell. It was black and had hair on it. The top of the coconut shell had been sawed off, and the inside was hollow, like a small round-bottomed cup for drinking. The coconut shell was wrapped in circles of transparent tape, and there was water in the coconut shell. The water gave off a faint fragrance, which should be perfume, and there was a bunch of bright and juicy roses in the water.
It seems that the coconut shell serves as a vase.
Xie Chi turned the "coconut shell" over, his pupils suddenly shrank, and Lu Wen took a step back in fear.
It was a... black monkey head. The vase was made of a monkey head, and the leaky parts of the monkey head's eyes, nose and mouth were covered with tape. The protruding mouth and brow bones were eerie, and the black eyeballs emitted a bright and creepy light, facing Xie Chi.
"What's going on?" Lu Wen frowned, "Using this thing to make a vase..."
Xie Chi said nothing, and took out a disposable glove from his belongings. With the help of Lu Wen, he unwrapped the tape wrapped around the monkey's head, and water immediately flowed out. Xie Chi scraped off some burnt ash from the monkey's head with his fingers. He looked at the black charcoal on the glove and said, "This monkey's head seems to have been burned by fire."
"Has the skull been opened? Roasted?" Lu Wen couldn't figure out the purpose and origin of this monkey head.
Xie Chi couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being.
He continued to check, he pried open the monkey's mouth, and suddenly his hand stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wen realized something was wrong and went over to take a look.
In the monkey head's mouth, there was a pure white, bloody tooth lying in the middle of the soft tongue.
Xie Chi took out the bloody tooth, placed it in his palm and examined it carefully several times, frowning: "This may be... a human tooth."
Lu Wen exclaimed, tilted the monkey's head and counted its teeth over and over again. He looked up at Xie Chi with a serious expression, "There are not a single tooth missing from the monkey's gums. These are really human teeth... and they are covered in blood. Where did the blood come from? Could they have been pulled out?"
Xie Chi took another disposable glove, stuffed the tooth into the glove, sealed the opening, and rolled it up.
"It could be a woman's tooth, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's a man's. This tooth is very beautiful and delicate. The owner must have a deep understanding of dental beauty and pay special attention to the maintenance of his teeth. He should be young, and the teeth are not worn very much. Of course, we can't rule out that this is a denture. At present, we don't have enough information, so we can only guess."
"Why is it in the monkey's mouth?" Lu Wen wondered.
"Maybe he wants to hide for some reason." Xie Chi thought thoughtfully.
"Hide?" Lu Wen was puzzled. "The antonym of hide is look for. If you want to hide, does that mean someone wants to find you? You hide it so that they can't find you?"
"I don't know, it's all just guessing." Xie Chi said. He paused, a little distressed, "Where should I put the tooth? Should I move it to a more hidden place first?"
After all, they are in competition with other actors. This might be a clue, so it would be best to hide it in the house, or someone might sneak in.
Lu Wen thought for a few seconds, his expression a little strange: "I have a good place to hide it."
Xie Chi looked at him.
"I have scales on my body...it won't fall out if you hide under the scales," Lu Wen said.
Xie Chi coughed: "...Okay."
He handed the thing over and Lu Wen hid it.
Just as Xie Chi was about to check around and wait for dinner, his cell phone suddenly rang.
【Your agent has sent you a message. 】
"It's Yan Jing." Xie Chi said.
Xie Chi clicked it, and Lu Wen came over to take a look.
Yan Jing: Brother!!! I know Zhao Jinhua’s special ability!!!
It has always been allowed for agents and actors to have brief exchanges in movies, but this is the first time Xie Chi has used this feature.
Yan Jing's tone was very excited. Actors also had to pay points to watch other actors' films, which was equivalent to using points to buy information about their opponents. They were very poor now, so Yan Jing could only ask other agents for information, but of course they might not be willing to tell him.
Xie Chi: Bought it?
Yan Jing: Yes! I went to a shoddy zombie movie before, and earned a few points just enough to see that the flaws outweighed the merits... Ah, let's not talk nonsense, in Zhao Jinhua's ghost movie, the ability is "psychic", she used it several times, it doesn't look like a limited skill, it should be some kind of permanent special ability, it feels like it should be given by a particularly powerful prop. She and You Jing are both experts in ghost movies.
Xie Chi became interested and replied: How does she use it?
Yan Jing: Probably, if there is a spirit in the place where she is, she might be able to sense it...? Then she can use this method to replay the scene to get some information? Or maybe she can communicate with the ghost directly? I don't know the specific form, the film doesn't reveal much.
Xie Chi immediately turned around and asked Lu Wen: "Do haunted house movies always have ghosts?"
He just wanted to confirm and deduce the other party's thinking logic and possible actions.
"That's the routine, right?" Lu Wen knew that Xie Chi's mind worked quickly, so he simply stopped trying to guess what he was thinking and just answered whatever he asked.
Xie Chi: "If you can communicate with spirits, when you come in, will you use this ability immediately when no one is around?"
Lu Wen thought about it and said, "I definitely will."
Xie Chi stood up suddenly, looked around the room, and his eyes finally fell on the closed windows and the skylight above his head .
You're free anyway, so why not give it a try instead of just waiting and see if you can get some information.
Thinking of this, Xie Chi opened the window and looked down.
The drainage pipe in this room is vertical, so he can lend a hand. The distance between the drainage pipe and the window sill next door is too far for an arm to reach, but his legs should be able to reach it. He can definitely give it a push. It's only on the third floor, so his brother won't die from the fall.
He just noticed that You Jing, Zhao Jinhua and You Jing's girlfriend were in the same room, which was the outermost room on the left, only one room away from their room.
Ren Ze happened to live next door to them.
Xie Chi said, "Go to the next room and get close to Ren Ze. See if you can hear what's happening in the corner over there. If not, divert Ren Ze's attention. Remember to block the window."
Lu Wen was confused. He was not good at this, but he could only bite the bullet and agree, "What about you?"
Xie Chi said quickly: "I'll plan B. Let's see if I can climb over to the windowsill and peek, or directly climb up the sewer pipe to the top of the third floor and sneak through the skylight..."
Lu Wen: “…”
