"The stench and bird carcasses are caused by the residents here?"
Be it Bai Xian or Director Zhang, they had been in this industry for a long time and they had met many different kinds of people.
They had encountered the local resistance many times before so with Director Zhang's explanation, even though the older actors still felt uncomfortable, they did not press the issue any further.
Of all the actors, only Han Fei had a cold expression. He appeared to still be in character, his gaze was rather scary.
They were acting out a scene described by the author of The House of the Butcher. The 9 personas gathered together for the last time.
This was the last dinner because after dinner, the persona representing the future, happiness and anticipation would be killed and the building would descend into chaos.
The House of the Butcher, as the name suggested, meant that everyone in this room was a butcher whose hands were stained with blood. No one could escape.
'The Butterfly should be familiar with this scene as well, when will it make its move?'
"Han Fei! Stop spacing out, I've prepared a lounge for you guys on the 3rd floor, what do you want to drink? Coffee? Fruit juice? "
After the corridor was cleared, Director Zhang called the actors to the 3rd floor. Through the monitors, they could see the actors' performance clearly.
He carefully communicated with each actor, explaining their strengths and weaknesses clearly. The fact that the young actors were able to work with Director Zhang was a great help in improving their acting skills.
After everyone was done, Director Zhang turned to Han Fei. He was very satisfied with Han Fei's performance. Honestly, he could not think of anyone more suitable than Han Fei.
"Director, is there anything that I need to improve on?"
"When you were acting as the Spider, even the Spider's former psychologist was shocked. They said they saw the shadow of the Spider in you, they even suspected that you're suffering from the same illness as the Spider." Director Zhang had a smile on his face. His choice of words was strange but it was a sincere compliment.
"Can I meet the Spider's psychologist? After chatting with him, perhaps I'll be able to better understand this character. " Han Fei used the excuse of improving his acting skills to prepare for the game. He needed to walk into the Spider's heart.
"You're so good at acting and you're so motivated. If you don't become famous, it'll be unforgivable."
Director Zhang led Han Fei to the room next door. He started to converse with Bai Xian and Xiao Tong again.
Bai Xian's acting was impeccable. He was able to fully express the character's inner emotions. His performance was normal, but it wasn't stunning enough. As the male lead, he was moved by the supporting character's emotions.
Xiao Tong's problem was even bigger. His acting skills were not bad, but when it came to acting with the other eight actors, he obviously couldn't keep up.
Han Fei did not care about the others. When he entered the room and saw the doctor, his eyes slowly narrowed.
"Doctor Hu Wei?"
Han Fei met this doctor once at the detention center. At the time, he was responsible for treating Ming Mei's family's mental illness.
"Han Fei, we meet again." Hu Wei shook Han Fei's hand warmly. "Please give me your autograph first."
Looking at the pen and paper handed over by Doctor Hu, Han Fei did not start writing immediately. "Director Zhang said you've treated Spider before?"
"It was my teacher who prescribed the medicine and treated Spider. At the time, I was just an intern with my teacher, but because Spider was so unique, I have a deep impression of him."
"Then what about your teacher …"
"He passed away not long after Spider's accidental death. In the last moments of his life, my teacher locked himself up at home. He appeared to be suffering from some psychological problems. Sigh, it's hard for a doctor to cure himself. A doctor like my teacher who is fully invested in his patients must be under a lot of mental pressure. "
Han Fei was surprised to see Hu Wei here. He did not suspect the man at all but the man's appearance was too much of a coincidence. This attracted Han Fei's attention.
Han Fei did not ask the questions that he wanted to ask, he merely chatted casually with Hu Wei.
The man did not reveal any flaws. If Hu Wei was acting, then his acting was definitely not weaker than the other actors in the room.
Glancing at the time, Han Fei did not stay for long because he needed to return home to play the game that night. He left after saying goodbye to Director Zhang.
"Han Fei! Are you going back alone? Do you need me to give you a ride? "Bai Xian drove his car over." This place should be quite far from the hotel. "
"There's no need, someone will come to pick me up." Just as Han Fei said that, a black police car pulled up from the roadside. The officers inside were armed with guns.
Bai Xian was dumbfounded.
"See you tomorrow, Brother Bai." Han Fei hopped into the police car. As the car drove away, Han Fei started to report to the officer next to him what he saw inside the building.
Using his insanely powerful memory, he memorized everyone's appearance and personality. He even shared everything that happened inside the building with the police.
There was nothing to hide. The police were Han Fei's strongest shield. Only through the police's power would he stand a chance against the Butterfly.
Han Fei returned home at 10: 30 pm.
Lying in bed, his mind was still replaying the scene of the 9 actors.
It was incredibly difficult to recreate the mental state of Spider's 9 personas at the same time. Just as Han Fei was struggling to find a starting point, Director Zhang called over 8 skilled actors to simulate the scene.
Even though everyone's acting was flawed, it was enough to touch Han Fei's heart. Initially, he could not imagine what it would be like to have 9 personas but with the help of the other 8 actors, he slowly found that feeling.
The split personas were like shadows that could not be shaken off no matter what. They entangled around him and slowly weaved themselves into a web, suffocating everyone.
After a shower, Han Fei was about to crawl into bed to read when he received a call from Huang Yin. With the help of the police, Han Fei had returned to his normal life, at least on the surface.
After thanking Han Fei, Huang Yin hoped that Han Fei would bring him into the cryptic world that night.
Huang Yin's voluntary request meant that he had walked out from his mental trauma. Han Fei was happy for Huang Yin.
Han Fei had been worried that he would leave some kind of trauma on Huang Yin, he did not want his only friend to be a madman.
At midnight, Han Fei connected all the wires and put on the gaming helmet.
Blood descended and Han Fei's consciousness entered the cryptic world.
Opening his eyes, Han Fei looked at the incredibly realistic world. Sometimes, he would wonder whether the cryptic world was real or not.
It was not a virtual world that relied on reality but a reality that existed alongside reality.
The cold wind caressed his cheeks. Han Fei stood in the middle of the campus and headed straight for the field.
'Jing Sheng told me that the Ziggurat has placed a curse on me. It'll take at least 7 days to 1 month before the curse explodes. I can't waste any more time.'
Han Fei planned to leave Yi Ming Private Academy that night and head for Cattle Alley.
But before that, he had to fulfill his promise with Huang Yin.
Opening the menu, Han Fei mumbled the word 'Spirit Farer'.
A chilling wind blew and blood vessels crawled all over the menu. Then it tore open.
Ghost faces floated out from the sea of blood. Han Fei wrote Huang Yin's name on one of the faces.
Theoretically speaking, there was a chance of failure in Spirit Farer but for some reason, every time Han Fei tried Spirit Farer on Huang Yin, it would always succeed.
Han Fei could not understand it himself, he believed this might be Huang Yin's hidden talent.
There was a flash of blood and a human figure appeared about 10 metres away from Han Fei.
He collapsed to the ground and curled his body into a ball. Only his eyes peeked out to look around.
Han Fei thought Huang Yin had gotten used to the cryptic world but after seeing the man's reaction, he realized there was still a long way to go.
"This is just a school, there's nothing to be afraid of." Han Fei shook his head. Before this, he did not think it was that big of a deal for him to survive in Happiness Neighbourhood Block 1 but after witnessing Huang Yin's reaction, he realized he was slightly different from a normal person. At least his mental fortitude was better than most.
Hearing Han Fei's voice, Huang Yin crawled up from the ground and rushed to Han Fei's side. "That, that security guard hasn't shown up yet, right?"
"You mean Ol 'Lee?" Han Fei did not expect the person Huang Yin was most afraid of would be the kind and honest Ol 'Lee. "I think you should get to know him better, Ol' Lee is a good person."
"No matter how good he is, who would dare approach him when he's carrying a ghost on his back?!" Huang Yin pulled on Han Fei's sleeve. "Let's find a more secluded place first, I've brought you many things!"
The commotion caused by Spirit Farer had attracted the attention of the ghosts at the school. Zhang Guanxing and Xu Qin's pet was the first to run over.
Huang Yin did not react much when he saw Zhang Guanxing but when he saw Xu Qin's pet, his legs buckled.
"This is a f * cking Forest Anaconda!"
The giant black anaconda crawled over lazily. It even tried to crawl onto Han Fei's body. This shocked Huang Yin even more.
"Let's talk business first. You said you've brought me many things?" Han Fei led Huang Yin and Zhang Guanxing into a classroom.
"Yes, I've been thinking for a long time and something came to mind." Huang Yin opened his inventory. "The 6th CB for Perfect Life will end in a few days. After that, all the CB accounts will be confiscated and all the items that we've worked so hard to save will disappear as well. But the supercomputer does not seem to have any control over the cryptic world. Perfect Life has been updated so many times but the cryptic world is not affected at all. Therefore, I'm thinking if I can bring things from the outside into the cryptic world, will I be able to preserve them? "
Huang Yin signaled for Han Fei to step back. Then he started to pull out various items from his inventory. "Due to the presence of ghosts in the cryptic world, I've purposely expanded my backpack to the maximum. I've bought a large amount of talismans, holy water, and Buddha statues for you. Come, come, come, come, try these and see if they're useful. I also have the Book of Daoism, Analects of Confucius, and mantras from the black market. "
