Chapter 25 What is this?
Ling Xiatian and Tian Tian sat in the car prepared by the crew, staring at each other.
Tian Tian took a sip of water and looked at the motionless sculpted beauty.
He reached out and patted Lingxia's shoulder, asking softly, "Lingxia, what's wrong? Even if you see the boss, you don't have to act like this. Although the boss is indeed very handsome, have you lost your soul? I'll summon your soul." After saying that, he made a dazzling hand gesture and muttered some unintelligible words.
Ling Xia glanced at her, then reached out and covered Tian Tian's mouth with her hand. "I was just thinking about something, don't let your imagination run wild."
Ling Xia stopped paying attention to Tian Tian and turned to look at the scenery outside the car window.
From the ring road to the skyscrapers, from the vibrant flowers to the towering trees... Xia felt a strange sensation in her heart.
The two arrived at the film set, which was an old mansion. As soon as they entered the gate, they were warmly welcomed by the crew.
Ling Xia also greeted everyone warmly.
Ling Xia was deeply moved by the atmosphere and immediately asked the director for the script. Upon hearing that he wanted the script, the director blinked and patted Ling Xia on the shoulder, saying, "You've just arrived, so take a rest first. Tonight is your time to shine."
"There are no fixed lines; it all depends on your improvisation on the spot."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xia thought, "So casual? This money is easy to earn!" She happily went to the hotel prepared by the film crew to rest.
The screenwriter worried, "Won't there be any problems?" While Ling Xia was talking to the director, the screenwriter was listening nearby. After Ling Xia left, the screenwriter immediately went to the director to ask.
In the evening, while Lingxia was putting on makeup, she finally learned the role she was to play.
She glanced at herself; her white dress was tattered and smelled burnt, as if it had been burned in a fire. More importantly, there was a large pool of "blood" on it right in front of her chest.
Ling Xia didn't dare look in the mirror after she finished dressing up. "...A female ghost, why isn't she a pretty female ghost? How come the director's eyesight is so bad?" She even has nightmares after watching ghost movies. Is this fighting poison with poison?
Ling Xia, dressed as a ghost, kept her head down the whole time for fear of scaring the crew, and finally squatted down in a corner of the set.
The set was set up, the staff were ready, and the actors were in place.
The director glanced around and asked, "Where's Ling Xia?"
I'm here.
A soft voice suddenly rang out behind the director.
The director looked back and was immediately horrified, his scalp tingling.
The lights flickered, the only light coming from the sparse moonlight. Under the eaves of the ancient hall stood a strange figure, with disheveled hair obscuring his face and wearing a tattered white dress. Through the gaps in his hair, one could see a pair of cold eyes staring at them.
"Ah~" The assistant director was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream. The director next to the assistant director was startled by the scream.
"You scare people to death!" The director, trying to hide his astonishment, punched the assistant director on the shoulder.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she touched her rapidly beating heart and instructed the assistant director to explain the blocking and precautions to Ling Xia. Ling Xia was afraid of scaring everyone, so she responded to the director's words in a low voice, but unexpectedly, it backfired.
Filming has officially begun.
Generally, places involving the supernatural are mostly hospitals at night, dilapidated schools, abandoned apartments, and old houses deep in the mountains.
The story is set in an old house deep in the mountains.
The male protagonist is a hiking enthusiast. On this day, he and his friends went hiking together, but the weather in the mountains was unpredictable.
The weather was clear at the foot of the mountain, but when we reached the middle of the mountain, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and a sudden downpour followed.
The group helped each other as they made their way through the jungle in the rain.
The weather was terrible, with strong winds suddenly blowing, causing the group to lose their way. To avoid natural disasters such as mudslides and floods, they decided to follow the mountain path up the mountain.
While having breakfast at the guesthouse at the foot of the mountain in the morning, the guesthouse owner mentioned that there was an old house on the mountain that used to be a summer resort built by a high-ranking official to escape the summer heat, but it had fallen into disrepair for some reason.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group was exhausted, but finally saw a dilapidated old house on the mountaintop.
In front of the old house is a large open space, and the surrounding walls are dilapidated and peeling paint due to their age.
The main gate of the mansion was wide open, revealing a spacious area overgrown with weeds. Further in the distance lay a dark, winding corridor, its intricate layout shrouded in darkness, creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere.
All that could be heard was the sound of the heavy rain; all other sounds were drowned out.
The male protagonist and his group were drenched in the rain, and a slight breeze brought a chill.
Fear gripped them from the cold, and they decided to enter the old house.
We found a relatively well-preserved room in the old house and began to clean it up.
The group changed into clean clothes, found some furniture, placed it in the middle of the room, and set it on fire.
The warm firelight dispelled the chill from everyone's bodies.
During the heavy rain, there was no cell phone signal. After finishing the food they had brought, the group had some free time.
Someone suggested that since we're just killing time anyway, why not play a game?
Exploring old houses is generally a harbinger of courting disaster.
There are 6 people in total, divided into groups of 2.
The male protagonist and his partner explore the backyard. The two of them walk into the backyard with flashlights.
There are three rooms in the backyard, all of which are closed.
They walked towards the room closest to them, and the male protagonist pushed open the door.
The door creaked oldly.
There was no one in the room, and it wasn't as scary as they had imagined. The two looked at each other and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the room's furnishings, it resembles a woman's boudoir.
A thin veil hung above the bed, and to the left was a round mirror. Below the mirror, on a table, were many jewelry boxes covered in ashes.
The male protagonist walked towards the mirror, and suddenly he stopped, feeling something under his foot that hurt his foot.
He lifted his foot and looked up, and a round wooden sign came into view.
He bent down, picked up the sign, wiped it, and clearly saw a name.
"Liao Qingmei" came out involuntarily.
The wind suddenly picked up, causing the windows inside the house to shake, and the windows that had been stable were blown open instantly.
"not good!"
The male protagonist's expression changed, and he shouted, wanting to get his friends away from there as soon as possible.
My friend was trying to close the window against the strong wind. "This is weird. The wind suddenly got stronger. I'll close the window first."
The window wasn't closed, and the phone's light, as if unable to bear the strain, flickered a dozen times before going out completely.
Darkness is frightening in itself, let alone when the phone's light suddenly went out, causing the protagonist to scream.
"There's a ghost!"
As the lights went out, something even more terrifying happened: a figure suddenly appeared inside the room.
"Run!"
A sudden, bizarre event caused the protagonist and his companions to scatter in panic.
The protagonist, having disappeared somewhere, turned into a room and closed the door.
He remained relatively calm, preparing to check if the phone worked properly.
He tapped his phone, but it remained silent. Surrounded by darkness, he grew increasingly anxious.
"Would you like a lamp?"
"It's here."
A sweet female voice rang out from behind the protagonist, and someone patted his shoulder.
The surroundings suddenly became much brighter.
The protagonist noticed the girl was wearing a white dress and politely said, "Thank you."
The thank you message abruptly ended.
The protagonist notices that the girl's skirt looks like it's from many years ago, and there are burn marks on it.
Following the line of sight upwards, the clothes were torn.
She held a lantern in her hand to send off the dead, the faint light illuminating her face, her long hair covering two-thirds of it.
One eye was looking at him, and then the corner of his mouth turned up slightly.
As if spotting prey, the subtle change in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.
……
"Ghost!"
The male protagonist let out a heart-wrenching scream, which could be considered as expressing the feelings of all the staff present.
They had seen Ling Xia's attire before, even though Ling Xia tried her best to hide it.
Knowing it was fake, why did Xia appear so frightening during filming?
On the screen, Ling Xia is no longer Ling Xia; she's a female ghost!
Damn it! Stop smiling at him!
The director wiped the sweat from his head and drank some hot water to calm his nerves.
