Chapter 100 Living Hell (02)
There were about ten people standing on the empty underworld road. They were actors who participated in the "Living Hell". Each of them had a bowl-thick iron chain tied around their waists and was led by the Black and White Impermanence like livestock. With each additional person who came in, the Black and White Impermanence had an extra iron chain in their hands.
When Xie Chi appeared, almost all the actors looked at him, either openly or secretly, as if they wanted to see through his gentle and refined face to find out the truth behind the newcomer's killing of the third line. Most of them were curious, and quite a few were wary. There were also two or three who showed a bit of arrogance, obviously looking down on this actor who had just been promoted from a newcomer and barely qualified to participate in the orange film.
"He doesn't look like he can kill Zhao Jinhua." Cheng Zhou stood beside Ji Xingchen, looking indifferent.
As Ji Xingchen was wiping his sword, he looked up at Xie Chi who was in a daze and said calmly, "Don't judge a person by his appearance."
Cheng Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he was happy, as if he had encountered something particularly rare, and bumped his arm: "Are you afraid of him?"
“That won’t happen.” Ji Xingchen frowned, as if he was a little unhappy with Cheng Zhou’s words, and retracted his gaze. “I watched the movie he appeared in. The props he used to injure Zhao Jinhua and cripple You Jing were disposable. The weapon given by the movie emperor was also scrapped. He dared to invite the evil spirit to possess him. He was courageous, but…”
Ji Xingchen's eyes were filled with indifference after seeing through something. "He probably has a hidden danger in his head. He has strong physical fitness and is quite smart, but that's all. His props currently only have Lucky Buff and Unknown Blemish, but the merits outweigh the flaws. How strong can he be? Haven't you heard that a good cook cannot cook without rice? His companions are all 2,000 to 3,000 points."
After Ji Xingchen's assessment, Cheng Zhou suddenly realized that it was true that Xie Chi killed Zhao Jinhua, but that could not be replicated. All of Xie Chi's props were used up in that battle. Although he was still a strong player, he was not worth their fear.
"Brother Ji, you are right."
Cheng Zhou praised, and after he figured it out, he looked at Xie Chi again with a bit more gloating in his eyes. He seemed to have forgotten about Xie Chi and smiled: "Brother Ji, you know a lot."
“Know yourself and know your enemy.”
Cheng Zhou: "Brother Ji, will you be promoted to the third line after this film is finished?"
Ji Xingchen hummed without any expression, with a smug look in his eyes.
Cheng Zhou was secretly envious. He and Ji Xingchen were the last batch of new talents, and Ji Xingchen was the first in the last batch of new talents. It has only been four months, and Ji Xingchen is about to be promoted to the third line, but he is still a long way behind. His previous decision was right. He has always been good to Ji Xingchen and has been his right-hand man, which has made his journey smooth.
"You will definitely be first again this time." Cheng Zhou said.
Ji Xingchen smiled but said nothing.
"Brother Ji." Cheng Zhou said in a surprised tone, "A stranger has come..."
Ji Xingchen looked up and saw a man in a black windbreaker. In fact, everyone was secretly looking at this strange man who suddenly appeared.
The man is tall and straight, with angular facial features and sharp and handsome features. His face and body are extremely oppressive and impactful. The first impression he gives people is that he is condescending and cold.
Ji Xingchen pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flashing with regret for his mistake. He didn't even know this actor.
In terms of appearance, she is more capable of attracting fans than him, but I don’t know how strong she is actually.
Ji Xingchen clenched his sword. Xie Chi was nothing to be afraid of. He was probably his biggest opponent in this game besides Su Qing.
"Eh? Brother Ji, he walked towards Xie Chi. Do they know each other?"
"Huh? Why did Su Qing also walk towards Xie Chi? Xie Chi also knows Su Qing?" Cheng Zhou was completely confused.
Ji Xingchen's eyes tightened.
APP's sudden decision caught Xie Chi off guard. He stood there, his limbs stiff, and his mood was complicated. He remembered the panic in his heart when Xie Xinglan left, like a child who stayed with his parents for a while, and suddenly had to go to a distant place to study. He had the confusion of a child and the reluctance of a parent. Fortunately, it was not the first time he was separated from Xie Xinglan, and he had gotten used to it.
Xie Chi came back to his senses and ignored the discomfort. Being able to go through a dungeon with his brother was something he had always dreamed of.
Ren Ze watched the strange man walking quickly towards Xie Chi with an agitated look on his face. He thought that this man had some grudge against Xie Chi. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly walked to Xie Chi's side, guarding against the man's attack at any time.
"Xie Chi, do you have a grudge against this person? How come I don't know?" Ren Ze asked in a low voice.
Xie Chi smiled: "I don't know him."
"ah?"
[Oh my god, why does the handsome guy have such a fierce expression? He seems to be very angry and upset and wants to kill someone. Does he have a grudge against me, Chizi? ]
Xie Xinglan walked up to Xie Chi, the gloom on his face disappeared, he and Xie Chi looked at each other, and reached an agreement in an instant.
Everyone watched as the strange young man reached out his hand to Xie Chi: "Hello, my name is Xie Xinglan. Xinglan means the night is about to end."
The voice was low and pleasant, with a slight upward rise at the end, and a smile of unknown meaning hung at the corner of his lips.
Xie Chi extended : "Xie Chi, a pool of spring water."
When they shook hands, Xie Xinglan saw Xie Chi secretly winking at him, and his smile deepened.
[Eh??? Both of them have the last name Xie, what a coincidence! ]
[They are so pleasing to the eye in the same frame! One is gentle and the other is cold, but they are a good match. 】
Xie Xinglan's hands were dry and warm. The warmth came from his palms, and Xie Chi felt as if a small electric current was running on his skin.
Xie Chi's expression was normal and his eyes were calm, but Xie Xinglan knew that he was nervous, so he touched Xie Chi's little finger mischievously.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xie Chi could only pull his hand back as if nothing had happened, his entire hand was stiff.
Xie Chi currently did not want people to know about his relationship with Xie Xinglan, as it would attract too much attention and arouse suspicion, and he was afraid that someone would take advantage of their relationship to interfere, and he did not want to become Xie Xinglan's weakness. The advantage of separation was that they could cooperate or even act separately, which would increase efficiency, but the disadvantage was also obvious, as they were easily influenced by each other, so he wanted to minimize this influence.
Pretending not to know him was the best option, and it also saved him the trouble of explaining to Ren Ze and Xia Yao.
"I don't know him, maybe we have a good eye for each other?" Cheng Zhou said casually.
Ji Xingchen retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention. They were just strangers. Even if they cooperated, they couldn't be open and honest with each other. There was no need to worry.
"Hello, my name is Su Qing." Su Qing smiled at Xie Chi a little stiffly.
Xie Chi was startled when he heard the name. What a coincidence? He didn't even need to look for Shen Yi's friend, who came over by himself.
[Fuck, why would the otherworldly beauty Su take the initiative to look for Xie Chi? Is he interested in Xie Chi? ! Xie Chi happens to be gay! So is Su Qing! ]
【I took the handsome Xiao Xie away! 】
[Do you know each other? ]
[I am a fan of Xie Chi, I am sure they don’t know him! ]
Xie Chi still remembered Shen Yi's request and was trying to get close to Su Qing to pave the way for the future, so he responded enthusiastically: "I am Xie Chi, you are very beautiful."
This is how Shen Yi praised him when he was chatting with him, and Xie Chi borrowed the words.
It is indeed beautiful.
Su Qing has loose black hair, a very classical temperament, and is thin and clean.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed, his face slightly reddened: "Thank you."
He was just curious about what kind of person Shen Yi really liked, so he wanted to get closer to him and find out more. But he found that he was unexpectedly likable. He was ambitious, intelligent, and good-looking. He was indeed the type of person Shen Yi liked.
Su Qing ignored the bitterness in his heart and smiled shyly: "If you don't mind, can I join you?"
He wanted to know what kind of person Shen Yi liked, maybe he could learn some characteristics. He didn't know whether Shen Yi had contacted Xie Chi. If so, he could find out the situation, speak to Xie Chi openly, and do some work on Xie Chi's side.
He knew about Xie Chi's sexual orientation, but he didn't think Xie Chi would definitely like Shen Yi.
Besides, Xie Chi is not very strong at the moment, so maybe I can protect him a little bit. Shen Yi should be happy if he watches the film I shot, although the possibility is very small.
And he is indeed a person with a good personality and easy to get along with.
He is... understanding the mentality of his love rival.
Su Qing laughed at himself.
Xie Chi was stunned, not knowing why Su Qing suddenly proposed this, but this was exactly what he wanted, so Xie Chi immediately nodded in agreement.
Su Qing, who was not used to socializing, breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Ze and Xia Yao who had just arrived were stunned. Is Xie Chi so friendly?
"Brother Ji, Su Qing is such a lonely person, but he actually took the initiative to seek cooperation with Xie Chi?" Cheng Zhou on the other side was full of disbelief , "What kind of magic power does this person have? There is also a man over there whose strength is unknown."
Ji Xingchen looked slightly depressed. If Su Qing was looking for a partner, why didn't he choose him but Xie Chi?
We chatted for a few minutes and got a little familiar with each other.
"Praising someone for their beauty the first time you meet them?" Xie Xinglan knew the reason why Xie Chi and Su Qing were trying to get close to each other, but he still joked lazily.
"No?" Xie Chi glanced at him.
"Okay." Xie Xinglan looked at him, "This is my first time seeing this too."
Xie Chi was stunned for a moment, then a smile slowly spread across his lips: "Xie Xinglan, you are very handsome, really."
It was the first time that Xie Chi called him by his full name, word by word, in a clear and loud voice, and in a teasing and joking tone. This experience was unexpectedly pleasant, and Xie Chi's eyelashes were even seductive when he blinked slightly.
He did it on purpose.
Xie Xinglan nodded seriously to show his satisfaction before returning to his indifference.
There is really nothing to be afraid of about Xie Chi. He just wants to act and get close to Xie Xinglan. This method is fine. He just needs to not let anyone know that Xie Xinglan was his alternate personality and boyfriend in the past.
The sensitive Su Qing glanced at Xie Chi, then at Xie Xinglan, with a hint of weirdness in his expression.
[The undercurrent is surging! ]
[Why do I feel like the subtext is very rich? ]
[Wait, I, Chi Zai, have come out publicly several times. Straight men wouldn’t compliment someone’s appearance so naturally, right?! Is this because he’s in love?!]
【Pay attention to the wording in the front!!!】
[He introduced himself as a pool of spring water...]
【Ahem.】
[I have seen all of Chi Zai's films, and I am sure he has never filmed a scene with this handsome guy! ]
[Love at first sight?! The handsome guy was obviously flirting, and Chizi replied, so it was a mutual flirting. ]
[They were attracted to each other's faces? This is really convincing! ]
[We are too sensitive. We are too lesbian to see people as gay. Sit down!!!]
[Do you remember that you came to watch a horror movie? ! ]
After the actors had spent some time getting to know each other, everyone's cell phones started ringing.
[Filming has officially begun. Actors, please follow the Black and White Impermanence into hell.]
With a sound of APP, the Black and White Impermanence in front moved, and the chains on their waists were immediately tightened. Black and White Impermanence pulled more than ten of them like they were catching criminals, and jumped into the deep darkness.
Xie Chi felt himself falling, falling, and falling again.
He fell into a coma.
