Chapter Forty-Six: Another Cursed Power Crisis
And at this time, the movie was still being filmed. This is also a relatively normal ghost picture, which tells the experience of a supporting role in the movie, and the actor of this supporting role is a female executor on Island 33, Duan Xinxin.
The script is written like this, after Duan Xin lives in the hotel, he always feels that something is looking at him. It's how she feels, but she trusts her feelings. She is such a person, and her sixth sense is very strong. She thinks that it is not uncommon for the owner of the hotel to do it, and it is not uncommon to take pictures or something.
But it doesn't make sense, I'm living alone in a room, and I don't have a boyfriend, so I shouldn't be myself if I want to take a secret photo! But no matter what, she just felt uncomfortable, so he decided to find out if there was really such a thing as a pinhole camera.
So, she began to rummage, and she rummaged through her bedroom, and finally found a dead cat under the bed. It was a cat's corpse that had been blown away, which was very scary in the movie, but it was just a prop, and it was not worth the fear of the executors.
Duan Xin in the movie was taken aback at first, and then realized that it was just a dead cat. She thought it was someone's prank, so she took the broom and tried to throw the cat's corpse out. But the moment she approached, the dead cat suddenly opened its eyes!
This is the horror effect in the movie, in fact, the dead cat will not move, nor will it open its eyes, these scenes will wait until post-production to add special effects, but the accident happened.
"Meow!" A terrible cat meow came, and the dead cat actually stood up. The brush jumped up. Sharp claws gripped at Duan Xin's throat. If she had done so, her throat would have been torn open and she would have died a painful death in this remote mountain forest without a doctor.
But of course, Duan Xinxin is not a rookie. She's also been on four missions as well, so she reacts the moment the cat barks and takes out a cursed object. It wasn't her strongest curse, but an ordinary exorcism curse that Xiao Chen had obtained from a dead executor before, a kitchen knife.
A knife slashed at the cat's corpse that pounced, and with another terrible cat meow, the cat's corpse fell to the ground. And then it didn't move.
This change shocked everyone, Duan Xin held a kitchen knife, and then touched the immobile cat corpse on the ground with the broom in his hand. Then he said, "What's going on?" Will this prop still move?!! Of course, she knew that props wouldn't move, and that it was a curse to make the dead cat move.
"Who got this prop? Did anything unexpected happen when you let it go? Feng Liqiang asked. Of course, he knew that it wasn't the prop crew's fault, because there really wasn't anything wrong with the dead cat. It's just this hotel that's the problem.
"It's me! But it's really just a dead cat! I don't know why this happened! A man stepped forward. He is a member of the drama crew. He was very scared, they were asked to stay in the room when Xiao Chen and the shameless duo were fighting before, but they could see the scene clearly through the camera monitoring at that time, he knew how dangerous he was now, if Xiao Chen and other people with "magic weapons" gave up on him and left him to fend for himself, then he would have no chance of surviving!
"Take it easy, I didn't say you were wrong! It's just that there are some things that have to be made clear. It helped us a lot in escaping the curse of this hostel! Right, Ma Zheng? Feng Liqiang comforted the members of the crew and said.
"Hmm. There's nothing wrong with the dead cat itself, and there's nothing wrong with finding it, but I want to know if anything unusual happened to the dead cat during the whole process of finding it, bringing it to the set, and putting it in the right place. Any situation, as long as you can think of. Xiao Chen said calmly. He struggled to make his voice sound pleasant.
"I, let me think about it." The crew said.
"Don't rush, think slowly. It must be you who are sure, if you are not sure, just tell us that you are not sure, otherwise it is not a clue but a misleading, understand? Xiao Chen calmly guided. In such tension, his words will not be credible. Because in this case, he will think of some "abnormal" situations, but those are all imposed by himself. For example, if flies fly by all the time, he can forcibly say that the cat corpse is rotting. It's not that he's lying, it's that human memory is lying.
"Huh? Yes! Okay, I got it. Again, the crew said, "Nothing special happened. If I had to say anything, I remember that when I put it under the bed, it seemed to get a little bigger. You know, this has always been a dried corpse, and in order to pursue the authenticity of the movie, we customized this cat corpse at that time, which was air-dried, not plastic. Most organisms have the most water in their bodies, so when it is air-dried, it is small and light. But when I put it under the bed, I could feel it getting bigger. I thought it was my delusion, but now I'm sure it's definitely getting bigger! The more the drama staff spoke, the smoother it became, and in the end, they basically affirmed their own statement.
Although he himself said that he was sure, Xiao Chen would not believe it just like that. He knew that memory was the most likely to deceive people, not to mention that he was still recalling the situation in such a tense situation, so he couldn't believe it or trust it all.
"Okay, I know, let's take our places, and the movie will continue to shoot." Xiao Chen said after listening to his words. I didn't say what I wanted to do, and I didn't say if it was a useful clue.
However, the drama members still breathed a sigh of relief, at least Xiao Chen spoke to him in a very kind tone, which showed that he was not angry, and it was really not his fault. With that in mind, he returned to his place.
"How about Ma Zheng? Can you deduce what the root of the curse is? When the drama staff left, Feng Liqiang asked Xiao Chen quietly.
"No, that's not a clue at all. There are so many reasons for it to get bigger, basically all curses have this ability, it is likely that a ghost temporarily lodged in the body of the cat corpse, and then propped up the cat corpse. This is just one of the easiest things to think of, and there are many more possibilities, and it has little to do with the source of the curse. Xiao Chen shook his head and said.
"Well, or we'll let someone look for it! Didn't you say that many of the actors here have been exposed to some masters? And having been blessed by the masters, they were able to find the source of the curse through physical contact. The hotel is so big, we search in a carpet way, let everyone touch it one by one, and they will always find it! Feng Liqiang suggested. Blessings and other things also belong to the background setting given by the cursed world, which is convenient to explain why the executor can confirm the cursed thing by contacting it.
"It won't work!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "If it's really that simple, there is no need to reason." The inn may not seem like much, but there are dozens of rooms, and the source of the curse could be in any one of them. If you really search the carpet in the past, I'm afraid you can search one room, or two, in a day. Because this is not a simple search, the source of the curse could be anything, in any form. It could be a book, or it could be a page in the middle of a book! Just because that page was once stained with the blood of the deceased. So if you want to search like this, what you need is destruction, to split everything that can be separated, do you think that's realistic? Xiao Chen laughed again, this time with helplessness in his laughter. Did Feng Liqiang think that he didn't want to think about things simply? But things are so complicated, what can he do?
Even if he could search the entire hotel during the three-month mission, including all the detachable things, he wouldn't do that. Because the curse is always there, and they have another enemy, the Shameless Duo, who are on the sidelines!?
They had wasted too much of their curse power on the Shameless Duo. The sum of all the executors' waste is basically tens of thousands, maybe more than that. Their cursed power is severely lacking. Except for Xiao Chen and Dongfang Xiaobai, even several other senior intermediate executors were also in danger of the power of the curse.
Without the power of the curse, what is the use of the cursed thing, no matter how strong it is? They really can't afford to drag it out. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Chen might choose to be conservative and keep delaying, knowing that he would leave this mission world after three months and wait for the next time he entered. But now it doesn't work, and this plan is nullified.
Because just the day before yesterday, the executors already knew that the gap in the power of the curse was too large. The senior mid-level executors were not overdrawn, but they only had a few hundred curse powers left, which was simply not enough. It doesn't take too strong a curse to appear, just a small-scale curse can drag their curse power dry, and when they don't have the power of the curse, a group curse breaks out casually, then what awaits them is group annihilation!
Therefore, Xiao Chen and they only have one choice now, and that is to take risks! Constant temptation, constant triggering of the death flag, and then relatively accurate detection of the specific situation of the cursed thing, and then find out the root curse thing, and end this curse, this is their only way out, there will be no second one. That is, if they fail, only death awaits them!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, this was not the first curse power crisis he had encountered, it was still the second mission. But he believed that everything would be fine. (To be continued......)
