After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away - Chapter 1

[Chapter 1 The Infinitely Popular Male Protagonist Is Here (Part 1)]

Ji Ning rested his chin with one hand and sat quietly by the window of the aircraft, watching the crew outside making the set up for the upcoming movie.

The efficiency of the staff is very high, and the large-scale instruments used to play holographic images are arranged in an orderly manner. In no time, the wasteland has become a ghostly appearance, and the lonely old house in the wasteland is even more eerie and dark.

There were other people inside the aircraft. Just like Ji Ning, they were all actors who were about to take part in the filming.

Ji Ning has a handsome and beautiful appearance, the corners of his lips are naturally raised slightly, as if he is smiling at any time, and his skin is white and his pupil color is very light, a beautiful light brown color, and his whole person has a gentle temperament.

But now Ji Ning is expressionless and doesn’t say a word, because he wants to maintain his own personality – contrary to his appearance, he is an arrogant and indifferent genius in the novel’s setting, and he will definitely not take the initiative to communicate with a few other people. of.

As an experienced traveler, Ji Ning couldn’t allow himself to make low-level mistakes that violated the basic settings.

Ji Ning remained silent. Through the shadow reflected in the window, he looked at a certain handsome man present. This man was the protagonist of the novel that Ji Ning transmigrated into, the movie star Gu Chen.

This novel is called “Rebirth of the Interstellar Actor”. It is in the future interstellar era. The main content is the story of how the actor Gu Chen will return to the peak after being reborn for a hundred years and surpass his previous achievements.

Now the plot of the original novel has just begun. Gu Chen’s new identity is still an 18th-tier star who has been hacked by the entire Internet. The film that will be filmed soon is the first film he has received since his rebirth. He plays a supporting role, while Ji Ning plays the leading role here.

In the original novel, Ji Ning is set against Gu Chen. He is a new talent and a movie star. His hidden identity is the prince of a well-known entertainment company. He is always tit for tat with Gu Chen. Not close friendliness.

With such an identity, Ji Ning’s main mission was to attack Gu Chen and make him fall in love with him. Fortunately, the original novel had just begun, so he and Gu Chen were just strangers.

But for Ji Ning, it doesn’t matter if Gu Chen already hates him. Before entering this world, he has experienced ten worlds, and the main mission of each world is to make the male protagonist fall in love with him, and attack the male protagonist. He was already familiar with this kind of thing.

What’s more, compared with some perverted male protagonists, Gu Chen’s personality is so normal that he is very cute.

Recalling certain things from the past, Ji Ning’s expression was neutral and there was a trace of haze, but he quickly covered it up.

After a while, the door of the aircraft was knocked from outside, and the staff came to inform them that the venue had been set up, and they could go over to prepare for the filming.

Several people got up and went out. Ji Ning was at the front. As soon as he stepped out of the constant temperature aircraft, his hair was a little messy due to the wind outside, and his bare skin felt chills.

The gray sky was covered with dark clouds, rolling down, looking oppressive and heavy, but whether it was the dark sky or the cold temperature, they were all simulated by holographic instruments.

What they are going to shoot is a ghost movie called “Ghost House”. At present, the supernatural theme is very popular. If it is filmed well, it will be very popular, and the cost of this kind of film is not high, so it is suitable for newcomers to star in.

The investment in “Ghost Shadows and Desolation” is considered to be above average among supernatural films. The script is remarkable, and the director also enjoys a certain reputation. In fact, in this level of film, the actors other than Ji Ning have no background. The newcomer had no chance to star, but this film is rarely seen.

Because the old house used in the filming of this film is a real haunted house.

Many years ago, there was a horrific case of extermination in the old house. A family of six died tragically in the house. The bodies were mutilated and scattered.

No one knows what the murderer’s motive was for killing the family and swallowing the flesh and blood of the deceased. Most people speculate that the murderer and the deceased’s family had a bloody feud, or some wicked ritual, which cast a terrifying shadow on this massacre.

It is precisely because of this reason that Gu Chen was able to get this shooting opportunity, and used it as an opportunity to shine.

As for Ji Ning, his character in the novel is an arrogant and indifferent genius. Although he came to make a ghost movie, he actually doesn’t believe in ghosts at all. Ji Ning himself is not afraid of ghosts at all. The world of novels was full of ghosts. Even then, Ji Ning’s own identity was a ghost, and he had already trained it.

“This is the famous haunted house…”

Ji Ning and the others walked to the haunted house with the staff when a cold wind suddenly blew around, making the old wind chimes hanging under the eaves “ding dong”, making other people His face turned pale, and he murmured in a low voice.

“Everyone can get used to it first. After 15 minutes, we will start shooting on time. When the countdown is over, please start preparing. Thank you.” The

staff smiled at them and slowly backed away. Ning et al.

Several newcomers began to chat in a low voice, discussing the murder case of that year, Ji Ning clasped his arms and said nothing, while Gu Chen was also unpopular because the original owner of his body was hacked by the entire internet, so he stood alone.

Ji Ning’s eyes swept across Gu Chen, even though he was being pushed out, Gu Chen remained calm and calm, ignoring the attitudes of others, and focused on the old house.

After a while, Gu Chen brought out a transparent light panel from the miniature terminal attached to his wrist, showing the internal structure of the old house. His slender fingers swiped across the light panel, zooming in on several of the rooms from time to time, as if he was working with the content of the script. control.

As an actor, Gu Chen’s attitude towards filming is absolutely impeccable, and so is Ji Ning’s own character. Although he is very arrogant, he is definitely dedicated to his work to the point of being critical, and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

So naturally, Ji Ning also recalled his own script from the terminal, and using this as an opportunity, he was finally able to speak to Gu Chen for the first time.

“You’re pretty good.”

Ji Ning walked to Gu Chen’s side and spoke in a nonchalant tone. When Gu Chen raised his head when he heard the sound, he deliberately showed a slightly sarcastic look, glanced at the other actors who were chatting, and said.

“At least it’s much better than those amateurs with a sloppy attitude.” The

other people’s expressions changed slightly after hearing this. Of course, they had worked hard on the script before they came here, but they were hit by Ji Ning just because of a few small talk. How can they be convinced by the label of “sloppy attitude”.

But because Ji Ning was a senior and his reputation was much louder than theirs, they dared not to speak out, so they had to put away their laughter and read the script with their heads down.

Ji Ning silently apologized to them in the bottom of his heart, but he still maintained an indifferent look on his face. After all, he couldn’t ruin his character.

Gu Chen didn’t answer, just smiled at Ji Ning. He has a handsome appearance, his dark pupils are as deep as night, his black hair is falling, his eyes are cold, when he is not smiling, he is calm and calm, and when he smiles, he is extraordinarily gentle, revealing a unique temperament.

Ji Ning didn’t go on talking. After he nodded slightly, he looked down at the script. The strategy process was a long one. Now, it’s enough for him to show his disdain for excluding Gu Chen like everyone else, and he doesn’t need to do more. many.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the countdown to shooting began. Everyone closed the terminal and adjusted their expressions and status.

The surrounding holographic projections began to transform, simulating the scene of forest trees. Several crows shuttled through the forest, and the leaves made a “swoosh” sound. After a while, a few black feathers quietly dropped in the air.

The overall story of “Haunted Mansion” is good, but the setting at the beginning of the script is equally cliché: a group of adventurers lost their way in the forest, and when they heard a voice coming from a certain direction, they hurried over and entered the haunted house. , and fell into a state of utter doom.

Of course, now because of the existence of the central optical brain and the terminal, it is basically impossible to get lost, so the era of “Ghost Shadows” was set many years ago, when the optical brain had not yet come out. .

In today’s era of light and brains, although there is a fixed script for filming, the actors have a high degree of freedom during the actual shooting, and they can play without the script. Let the actors show their truest emotions and reactions as much as possible.

In this case, the director’s scheduling relies entirely on the miniature headphones worn by the actors. There are many invisible cameras around the actors to ensure that the actors can be photographed in all directions without missing any shots.

With the director’s order, Ji Ning and others quickly entered the state and began to act.

According to the plot at the beginning of the script, everyone lost their way, and the heroine heard the voice and dragged her friends through the woods to the old house.

The old house looks gloomy, and everyone has different opinions on whether to go in to find people, but because the weather looks bad, it has poured down in an instant, and those who are concerned can only compromise and follow Others walked in.

“Wow…”

It was raining heavily. Ji Ning, who played the male lead, walked at the front and pushed open the door. The door pivot turned and made a dry sound.

“No one lives here, it’s an empty house.”

After seeing the furnishings in the house, Gu Chen said something. There was a thick layer of dust here and there, and even the transparent glass was too dirty to see through, it was pitch black, so they had to turn on their flashlights.

“We’re probably going to spend the night here, so let’s do some cleaning first. At least we need to clean up a relatively clean area,” Ning said.

The others had no objection. Everyone split up and cleaned the dust in the house, but heard the voice of the heroine in the middle.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Ning asked.

“Look, this stain on the ground…”

The actor who played the heroine showed an uneasy look and pointed to the floor under his feet. Even if the dust was heavy, it couldn’t cover the dark stain, which appeared under the reflection of the flashlight. dark brown.

Like bloodstains.

“…”

Everyone stopped moving, their eyes fell on the stain, Ji Ning stepped forward with a dignified expression, leaned over and touched the dark stain with her fingers.

At the moment when the fingertips landed on the ground, there was obviously no wind, but the layer of dust seemed to be slowly blown away, gradually revealing more ground, showing the traces completely.

It’s a human figure.

Around it, there are also dragging bloodstains, dripping blood beads, and scattered pieces of dirty blood.

As more terrifying bloodstains surfaced on the ground, the expressions of the group all changed.

Although they don’t know what happened to this house, it is obvious that they must not stay here for long!

“Let’s go!”

Ji Ning picked up her things, got up and ran to the door of the house. They didn’t completely shut the door when they came in, but now no matter how Ji Ning pulled the door handle, the door still remained motionless.

“The window can’t be opened…”

Someone rushed to the window and pushed and pulled hard, but it didn’t help. In panic, the group started to move hard objects, trying to hit the glass, but suddenly heard a chuckle.

This laughter appeared without warning, misty, and fell gently into the ears, causing the hearts of those present to jump.

They were indeed frightened. The script did mention that there would be laughter at this time, but it clearly stated that it belonged to a female voice. The first Specter to appear was the ghost of the hostess, but now… how does it seem? Is it a man’s laughter?

Did the director change the script?

Ji Ning also had the same question in his heart. This was a change that didn’t appear in the original book, but the earphones remained silent. There were no new instructions, so everyone continued to play according to the original plan.

“Whoa…”

Just as they were terrified because they couldn’t get out of the house, an old newspaper suddenly fell from above and landed on Ji Ning’s hand.

Ji Ning was slightly startled. Holding this newspaper, the paper was already yellowed, stained with blood, and the handwriting was blurred. Only the obituary in the middle remained clear.

The black and white photo on the obituary is of a young man with beautiful eyebrows.

He stared straight ahead with a smile in his curved pupils, as if he was naturally gentle and affectionate, but if he stared into his eyes, he would be horrified to find that he was not looking at the camera, but the person holding the newspaper. .

He was watching Ji Ning.

Ji Ning’s pupils suddenly shrank.

…Impossible, how could this person’s photo appear here?

“Crack.”

Bright red blood dripped onto the black-and-white photo of the obituary, just in front of the young man’s chest, staining his white shirt a scarlet color.

The man in the photo was soaked in blood, as if he had come to life little by little. His expression gradually became bright and vivid, and the corners of his lips were raised towards Ji Ning, revealing a soft smile.

He says.

“Ningning, I finally found you.”

The text of the obituary turned blood red, and a name appeared faintly.

“Huo Wuling”.
