"I can't remember when was the first time I dreamt of that thing. Initially, it seemed to be hiding among the crowd. It brushed past me but for some reason, it started to latch onto me …"
Han Fei said the words in his mind as he looked at the thing inside the building.
The 'ghost' from his nightmare had entered the real world. Han Fei was experiencing the same thing that happened to the Spider back then.
Han Fei really did not expect the thing to reappear in this form. Everything felt like a planned 'coincidence'. The Spider that he played stood at the same spot as the Spider from 10 years ago and saw the same 'ghost'.
Han Fei did not follow the script, he did not even know what he said. He just stared at the pale face across the building and a murderous glint shone in his eyes.
When their eyes met for the first time, Han Fei's heart skipped a beat. His clothes were drenched in cold sweat.
After his experience at Cattle Alley and becoming the Midnight Butcher, Han Fei's presence and attitude in real life had changed.
His fingers curled involuntarily like he was trying to grab the handle of a knife.
His eyelids fluttered. When Han Fei opened his eyes again, the figure had disappeared.
Han Fei still stared at one of the windows across the building. He knew the thing would reappear and it would get closer and closer to him.
This kind of fear could drive a normal person mad but Han Fei's heart was filled with anticipation.
He wanted to kill the Butterfly! Be it in the cryptic world or in real life!
When Han Fei pulled back his gaze, he noticed the way the actors looked at him had changed.
He continued to act according to the script. After Han Fei finished narrating his nightmare, there was still no one in the small room who broke the silence until the director and his assistant made a perfect hand gesture.
The frozen atmosphere dissipated instantly. Everyone turned to Han Fei again.
"Why didn't you follow the script?" Bai Xian paused before continuing, "I mean, the story that you've told is more realistic than the script. It's as if this is how the Spider communicated with the other personas."
"That's amazing! And the way you look at the opposite building, the sudden change in emotions in less than a second! It's like you've really seen a ghost! How did you do that? "
Director Zhang, who had been staring at the camera, walked over. He was equally shocked.
First of all, Han Fei did not act according to the script. Some of the lines were not even in the script, but when Han Fei said them, it felt natural.
That kind of state, that kind of emotion, and that kind of expression made everyone present feel like they were looking at a living spider.
"What did I just say?" Han Fei did see a ghost but he was not afraid. When he looked at the ghost, he said the words in his mind. He had no idea what he was saying.
"You don't remember? Is this what you call a stream of consciousness acting? "Bai Xian was shocked. He did not think Han Fei was lying.
"Maybe it's because I was in a good state just now. I was completely immersed in the role. If I were to do it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it again." Han Fei glanced at the opposite building again, but the human-like thing didn't appear again.
Next time, the man would be closer to Han Fei, and Han Fei was' looking forward 'to seeing him again.
"Brother, you're really awesome. So far in this movie, you've already contributed 2 iconic scenes, 'jumping off the building' and 'narrating a nightmare'. I have a feeling you'll be able to perform the most iconic scenes in this movie. " Bai Xian was quite envious. Han Fei used the least amount of screen time to contribute the best performance. More importantly, Han Fei was only in his twenties, he had a bright future ahead of him.
Han Fei merely smiled in response to the compliments, he did not think much of it.
He knew very well that his acting skills were not good enough to create an iconic scene. He really did see a 'ghost' earlier.
During the break between filming, Han Fei did not forget to report to the police. During lunch break, he personally went to the police station with his lunch box, hoping that Li Xue would accompany him to the opposite building.
"I saw it in this room." Han Fei pointed at a room on the 4th floor.
"The doorknob and lock are covered in dust. This room has been abandoned for a long time. Are you sure it's this room?" Li Xue called her colleague and the latter soon sent over the information of the tenants.
The rooms that the ghost appeared in were all empty rooms where the previous owners had passed away.
Li Xue turned on the recorder. She wanted to use a special tool to open the door but to her surprise, the door was not locked.
Entering the room, there was only a pile of moldy, smelly trash.
Han Fei walked to the window and stood at the spot where the ghost appeared. Then he turned to look at the set that he was at earlier.
"Where will it appear next time? Will it sneak up to my bed when I'm playing video games? '
Han Fei did not find anything. When he prepared to leave, he accidentally saw a mirror placed at the corner of the balcony.
Everything in the room was covered in dust, the only exception was the mirror.
'When I jumped down from the 4th floor, I believe I saw a mirror as well. Could this mirror be related to the ghost?' Han Fei shared his speculation with Li Xue. The latter put on gloves and took the mirror out of the room. She planned to go back and examine it to see if she could find any evidence like fingerprints.
Han Fei wanted to search the room a little longer when Li Xue's phone suddenly rang.
Her colleague told her that the orphan that Spider adopted had appeared at the building.
"Han Fei, didn't you say you wanted to meet Spider's adopted son? He's currently at the building where you're filming the movie. "
'The timing of his appearance is quite coincidental.' Han Fei exited the room and looked up the stairs that led upstairs. There was no one in the corridor but it felt oppressive. It was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him through the peephole behind one of the doors.
'Come on, let's go meet the child who sold his adopted father's brain.' Han Fei and Li Xue returned to the set. They did not think there was anything wrong but the people around them were shocked. Why would a female officer follow an actor on set?
Other actors had their assistants with them but why did this actor have a police officer with him?
"Excuse me."
Pushing open the door to Room 401, Han Fei met Spider's adopted son for the first time in Spider's bedroom.
Before the child met Spider, he was an orphan just like Han Fei. Coincidentally, both of them had stayed at Happiness Orphanage for a period of time.
Knocking on the half-open door, Han Fei's eyes stared at the man sitting at the table, or perhaps it was more appropriate to describe him as a boy.
His actual age was about 20 years old, but he had a very young face, and his skin was frighteningly white, as if it had been bleached by drugs.
His arms were slightly longer than a normal person's and he wore a pure black outfit. His attention was completely focused on the wind chime hanging next to the window.
"What are you looking at?" Han Fei closed the door softly and locked himself and the man inside the bedroom.
Hearing the voice, the pale-skinned young man answered without turning around, "I'm looking at my father. Shh, keep your voice down, he's talking to me."
