Removing the helmet, Han Fei collapsed to the ground.
His heart was beating very fast. His brain seemed to have received too much stimulation, causing his vision to become blurry and his breathing to become difficult.
Pain shot through every part of his body. He had no energy left in him.
Lying on the cold ground, it took Han Fei a long time before his eyes regained their focus.
'I can't believe I ended up like this just to save an NPC.'
The pain in the cryptic world was very real. Han Fei had no idea how he managed to survive until the child ran away.
"Perhaps the best solution back then was to escape, but humans and animals are different after all."
Han Fei did not regret his decision. If he could do it all over again, he would still run away.
The cold ground helped Han Fei regain his composure. He started to consider a very serious question.
'What should I do next time I log in?'
Cattle Alley was a hidden map. Every step was filled with traps and there were scary pig-faced monsters.
Han Fei's calf was injured in-game, his shoulder was bitten to the bone and one of his arms was severely fractured. Han Fei could barely walk, much less run for his life.
How was he supposed to survive at Cattle Alley under these circumstances?
'The pig-faced monster has lost its mind due to hunger. It probably won't stay there to wait for me. When I log in next time, it'll most likely have left to hunt for food. '
'As long as it doesn't camp me, I have a chance of survival.'
'Now I need to find a place to recover. I still have some tools and books related to stitching in my inventory, I can try them on myself.'
When Huang Yin first entered the cryptic world, he had taken out some of the items from his inventory to thank Meng Si for the porridge she cooked for him.
At the time, Han Fei had placed all of Huang Yin's medical books and tools into his inventory. He didn't expect he would one day use them on himself in such a way.
'Thankfully, I've had some practice when I was at Happiness Neighbourhood.'
All efforts will be rewarded. This experience made Han Fei determined to learn more things like diving, rock climbing, pharmacology, first aid and so on.
'Other people play games when they're tired from studying. But I'm learning so much for the sake of playing games. '
Han Fei glanced at the wall that was filled with pictures of the victims. Before he came into contact with Perfect Life, Han Fei was an extra, acting was everything to him.
But now, it was different. Apart from the great improvement in his acting skills, he had also learned criminal psychology, management, and was proficient in investigation and anti-investigation. He was also good at stalking and mixed martial arts.
In the past, he always felt that his learning ability was very poor. Recently, he slowly realized that his potential was not fully developed at that time.
"Brother Huang might have had the same problem as me. In the future, I can help him become a better version of himself."
After recovering some of his energy, Han Fei crawled up from the ground. He opened the fridge to find some food and then crawled under the covers.
The warm blanket seemed to have a magical ability to heal a tired heart.
Han Fei was woken up by the alarm clock at 8 am. Today was the first day of filming for Thriller Novelist.
After a quick shower, Han Fei rushed out of the room. When he went downstairs, the police were already waiting for him.
Han Fei initially planned to part ways with the police but the officer responsible for the capture of the Butterfly told him that the Butterfly might make a move on the set so he could not afford to be careless.
Due to his trust in the police, Han Fei decided to cooperate.
Han Fei took the plainclothes police car and arrived at Xin Lu Northern Countryside Meat Packing Factory.
On the first day of filming, everyone was pumped up. Be it the actors or the crew, everyone had high expectations for this movie.
When Han Fei arrived in the morning, Bai Xian and Lee Ran, the 2 most famous actors, had already started filming. They had a lot of activities to attend to. After filming Thriller Novelist, they still had other things to do.
"It's not easy to gather everyone together, I hope you all can present your best acting skills to the best of your abilities. Do not leave behind any regrets." Director Zhang arrived at the factory at 6 am with the crew. He personally inspected the set and props. It was clear that this veteran director really wanted to use this movie to win another big award.
The idea was perfect but when filming started, problems came one after another.
First, Xiao Tong, who played the college student, had multiple NGs due to the character's lack of emotion; then Candy, who played Ah Meng, was bitten by an unknown bug inside Spider's room. She screamed in pain.
It was one thing for the actors to run into problems but there were also many unexpected occurrences at the set. Cracks started to appear on the lights. The camera that was supposed to be fully charged started to run out of battery after a few minutes.
There were many similar occurrences. The shooting of this supernatural movie seemed to have become more and more paranormal.
It was fine if it was just a small problem. At noon, there was a scene where the spider completely fell from reality into the consciousness of its own personality.
This scene was presented in the form of death in Spider's mind. He fell from the 4th floor in a trance. His body was battered by the branches of the tree next to the building. As his consciousness faded, as he fell, he saw another version of himself standing on the 4th floor.
The id, ego and superego were separated by reality and imagination in Spider's mind. His brain appeared to be different from a normal person's.
This abstract scene was a test for both the director and the actors. Director Zhang's plan was to film everything in real life. He found a stuntman and under the condition of safety precautions, he would use him as Han Fei's stand-in for the fall from the 4th floor.
Director Zhang was not a fan of using technology to create virtual scenes, he was one of the few directors who still insisted on filming in real life.
The stuntman who was to be Han Fei's stand-in was very famous in the industry, he was specially recruited by Director Zhang from another province.
Everything was ready, but during the filming, the experienced stuntman made a mistake.
He did not jump towards the predetermined area and his body was scratched by the branches.
Director Zhang considered this possibility as well. He had the backup stuntman go up but they both made the same mistake.
For a stuntman, a mistake could cost them their life. Therefore, they would rethink their every action hundreds of times but even under these circumstances, both stuntmen made the same mistake.
When Director Zhang went to check on the injuries, the two stuntmen told him something very scary.
They felt as if something had suddenly grabbed their legs when they were jumping in the spider's room.
If it was just one stuntman, it would have been fine but the two of them said it at the same time. Even though they did not know each other, they gave the same reason.
"It's that scary?"
Someone from the crew secretly spread this rumor. Initially no one believed it but as the rumor grew, people started to feel uneasy.
Someone suggested that Director Zhang use virtual technology but Director Zhang did not believe in ghosts. He personally led Han Fei to Spider's room to investigate.
