Vera is a stage theater actress, and her greatest wish in life is to be in the modern cabaret theater that is a household name in the United States.

A slender and graceful figure, a delicate face like a flower, and a tactful voice.

The excellent body hardware has undoubtedly brought a lot of help to her career as an actor.

But—

From the age of thirteen to the current twenty years old, she has been performing in a small group for eight years.

Without him, because every time the stage director chooses an actor, she rejects the hint of the director's unspoken rules.

Seeing that all the "sisters" around her who are not as good as her are participating in the protagonist of her dreams on the stage, Vera, who is in a frustrated mood, often wonders if she is wrong? She clearly knows in her heart that if she wants to become famous in the future, as an ordinary girl with no money and no power, her body is the biggest weapon she can rely on, but she gave up using it.

What is she insisting on? Does she think that she can win the favor of a certain director with her solid acting skills? No joke! They have nothing to do with you, and beautiful girls like her are all too common in the theater of song and dance, why should they choose her instead of those beautiful girls who throw them into their arms? Follow the principle of equal exchange, and what does not get anything for it?

Perhaps, I should leave this little place and pursue my dream of being an actor in the United States!

Whenever Vera thought so, she soon gave up on the idea, and many girls had gone to the United States with similar thoughts in mind, only to fail without exception, and even the days were far from being nourished in Waricio.

It is true that there are more opportunities in the big cities, but they ignore the more brutal competition in the big cities, especially in the face of girls from all over the world who dream of being actors.

Now the pillar of the Vera Theater Troupe, Ms. Dorina, once went to the United States for a few years when she was young, and finally returned to the Republic of Waricio, it is this experience that she often teaches the girls in the group that it is okay to go to the United States to pursue their dreams, but you must gain a firm foothold in Waricio before going, otherwise there will be a way out if you fail in the future, most of the girls who fail to pursue their dreams have no way out, many of them give up their dreams and choose to marry and have children with local men, and have lived a mediocre life since then。

Vera did not deny what Lady Dorina had said, and if she could not stand on her feet in Waricho, she would probably not be able to escape the same fate if she went to the United States.

Recently, a new script came out, and when I heard that the director was about to choose the right actors, Vera was hesitant to make a change!

Vera's life is monotonous, she goes out early and returns late every day, spends most of her time in the troupe rehearsing, and her biggest hobby every day is to soak in the bathtub for half an hour to relieve the fatigue of the day, drink a glass of milk before going to bed, and fall asleep after reading a book for a while.

As a group performer, Vera's income is not high, and her monthly income hovers around 2,500 yuan, except for rent, water, electricity and daily living expenses, she basically belongs to the state of the moonlight clan. In fact, her situation is good, after all, there is a fixed drama troupe, and many actors who do not have a drama troupe often do not even have the opportunity to act, and often they choose to do odd jobs in restaurants, convenience stores and other places to make ends meet. In order to save money, they rented a place that was as comfortable as Vera's bachelor apartment, and they were mainly shared.

Vera is envious of others, why don't others envy her?

In the past two days, Vera's worries are not only about the selection of actors for the new script, but for some reason, every time she comes home, she inexplicably feels that there is someone in the house.

It's a very spooky and scary feeling.

She tried to rummage through the house carefully, only to be wrong.

There was no one else in the room but her.

The question is, why did she feel this way? Did she run into some paranormal event?

She repeatedly comforted herself that perhaps it was the selection of actors in the new script that caused too much psychological pressure on herself, which caused her to have this illusion of scaring herself.

Tomorrow will be the day when the director of the new script chooses the actors, but Vera, who has returned home and taken a bath, has not been able to sleep, she is watching TV in the living room, which is broadcasting the news about the terrorist who has been in a lot of noise some time ago.

"These cops are a waste of taxpayers' money!"

According to the ins and outs of the news report, after the terrorist attack that day, the terrorists' helpers in the city destroyed two helicopters of the United States to assist the Republic of Waricho in fighting terrorist crimes, and at the same time caused huge property damage to the local area.

Thinking back to the police raids in the past few days and finding nothing, Vera pouted and muttered, after all, the police had come to her door to inspect her apartment, saying that they were searching for terrorists who had escaped from the Raccoon Mall.

Now the news says that the police found traces of terrorists hiding and escaping in the sewers near the Raccoon Mall, and now it is likely that they have escaped from Perus along the sewers, but the police still warn the people of Perus that maybe terrorists may still be in the city of Peruth!

"Did the terrorist escape or not?"

Looking at the police spokesperson's account, Vera couldn't help but feel amused.

In fact, the terrorist attacks have more or less affected Vera's life, for example, the drama that was going to be staged some time ago has been postponed for a week, and the business of large and small entertainment venues has become deserted, and it is only now that it is gradually returning to normal, despite this, the police still dispatched a lot of police forces to patrol in Perus day and night, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to stop in a month or two.

With the TV turned off, Vera leaned back on the couch and looked up at the white ceiling, then closed her eyes and sighed leisurely.

What should I do tomorrow when I choose the actors?!Do I really want to sleep with the director of the new script?

Vera knows tomorrow's director, the other party is in his forties, and on the surface he looks like a polite gentleman, but the problem is that he is a family man, and listening to some "sisters" who have a relationship with him talk about secretly, the other party seems to have serious abusive tendencies in bed......

Every time she thought of this, Vera couldn't help but shiver.

Don't! Don't even sacrifice your first to this perverted man!

If she refuses, what will she do in her future career as an actress?

Alas-

I don't know if this is the first time she's sighed tonight.

Maybe it's a religious relationship, Vera is a conservative girl, although she has had two boyfriends, but she has never had a physical relationship with each other, according to her concept, she must wait until the wedding night to hand over her first time, and the boyfriend can't wait for the wedding day to break up.

Back in bed tossing and turning, if she abandoned her persistence for the dream she pursued, would she still be the same person? What kind of person would she become in the future? At that time, she would really feel happy?

Slowly, sleepiness welled up in her thoughts, Vera turned off the lamp and prepared to fall asleep with a pillow in her arms.

The bedroom room was very quiet, and after sleeping for a while, Vera suddenly opened her eyes, because the familiar feeling came again.

The room had the feeling of being human.

But apart from the faint dripping sound of the bathroom faucet, she couldn't hear any human sound.

She buried herself in the quilt and tried not to think about it, but the more she avoided it, the more uncontrollable her thoughts became.

Vera's bachelor apartment is not big, a simple one-bedroom apartment, a kitchen and a bathroom, there is no place to hide if you want to hide, she has carefully checked the bathroom, wardrobe, and bed in the house, but there is no one in every place, so she thinks she thinks she thinks too much.

But what if the people in the room weren't human?

The thought of this gave her goosebumps all over her body.

A few years ago, there was a popular horror drama series in the United States, which was dedicated to telling supernatural stories circulating in many parts of the United States.

Could it be that the apartment I live in is a murderous house? No way! If it is a murderous mansion, she has been renting it for several years, why does this feeling not appear sooner or later?

Vera: Don't scare yourself anymore!

Vera hypnotized herself and comforted.

If she wants to stop being bothered by this, she has to be bold.

She once heard a story about a man who was so afraid of ghosts that he mustered up the courage to sleep in the cemetery for several nights in a row, and then he was no longer afraid of ghosts.

The story is very simple, face your fears, and when you realize that ghosts don't exist, you won't be afraid of ghosts anymore.

Vera intends to emulate the protagonist of the story.

Where is the most likely place for ghosts to appear in a bedroom? According to the paranormal TV series that Vera has watched, the first is the bottom of the bed, the second is the wardrobe, and the third is the ceiling.

She took a deep breath continuously, tried to calm down and slowly lay on the side of the bed, her head poked under the bed, one hand slowly lifted the sheets that were almost hanging on the ground, and at the same time cheered herself up in her heart, Vera, don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world.

And then—

She saw the face of a stranger with her eyes open and meeting her own.

"Ahh

Vera screamed and fainted.

The face blinked, and then a figure emerged from under the bed.

"Day and night, after all, it was discovered, this little girl's sixth sense seems to be too sharp. ”

Chen An looked at the girl who fainted on the bed and muttered to himself.

Since escaping into this apartment, in order to avoid the police search, Chen An plans to wait for the limelight to pass before leaving Perus, at first he did not choose Vera's apartment, but after finding out that Vera often goes out early and returns late and is not at home, he uses Vera's home as a hiding place.

During the day, he would either stay at Vera's house to watch TV or check the news on the Internet, or sneak into other apartments in search of food, and at night, he would hide under Vera's bed and sit for breath and fall into a deep sleep.

Even though Vera doesn't know that there is a person under the bed she sleeps in, the woman's sixth sense is always giving her hints.

Of course, Chen An didn't stay in Vera's apartment all the time, and sometimes sneaked into other apartments, noticing that the owner of the apartment would not be back for a few days, he would use this place as his hiding place.

His hands and feet are very clean, and he will not find problems in the details, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed after just over ten days.

What to do?

Chen An brought a chair and sat on the edge of Vera's bed, her eyes fixed on the unconscious girl on the bed.

It is impossible to kill innocents indiscriminately, not to mention that she has rehearsal work every day, if she suddenly disappears, her colleagues will come to the door within two days, and what should be exposed will still be exposed.

If you leave now, when the girl reacts, it will be easy to recognize herself as a terrorist who escaped from the news, once the police are called, how can Chen An leave this island under martial law?

Coercion doesn't work, only temptation.

Chen An, who had checked the girl's room, knew that the other party was a drama actor, and it could be seen from her self-talk in the house on weekdays that she wanted to become a great drama actor with both fame and fortune, but due to the helplessness of reality, she had never been able to get mixed up.

I don't know how long it took, Vera woke up leisurely, and when she saw Chen An sitting in front of the bed subconsciously about to scream, she pointed at her cold muzzle and swallowed her scream back.

"You should be glad you didn't make a sound. ”

Chen An said to her indifferently.

"Are you ......" After Vera saw Chen An's face clearly, a familiar news scene suddenly flashed in her mind, and her eyes widened suddenly. "So you're not a ghost, you're the terrorist. ”

"I'm neither a ghost nor a terrorist. Chen Andao. "I'm just an ordinary guy who wants to live. ”

Everyman...... Can an ordinary person be so brave as to blow up two helicopters in the United States with a gun? Can an ordinary person break through the siege of countless police officers and escape?

"What are you trying to do to me? Are you going to kill me?"

Vera said with her fear.

"I never kill innocent people, I just want to make a deal with you. Chen An said lightly.

"What cooperation?"

"You shield and harbor my whereabouts, and I will help you realize your dream of the stage. ”

"You ......" Vera looked at Chen An in astonishment. "Do you know my dreams?"

"Of course, I hear you talking to yourself a lot these days. Chen An shrugged.

Vera shuddered when she heard this, and from his words, it was clear that he had been hiding in his apartment all these days, and he knew nothing.

"I ...... Think about it. Vera struggled inwardly.

"You have to give me an answer before dawn. Chen An shook the pistol, and the meaning was self-evident.

For the sake of the future, no matter what, reason tells Vera that he must drag the other party, and must not give him an excuse to kill himself, although what he says is good, what does he not kill innocent people, but can the terrorist's words be believed?

On the other hand, hearing that he could realize his stage dream, Vera was irrepressibly moved.

"Can you really make my stage dream come true?"

"Since I took the initiative to cooperate, I will naturally show my sincerity first, do you have paper and pen?" Chen An said.

"Yes, there are drawers in the bedside cabinets. Vera said.

Immediately afterwards, Chen An took out the pen and paper from the drawer of the cabinet, and immediately began to write on it, and after a moment, he put down the pen and folded the letterhead paper into a triangle and threw it to Vera.

"Tomorrow morning you give it to the owner at the back door at 35 Moore Lane, Belan Street, and then you can wait for the results in peace. Chen Andao. "Of course, I advise you not to open this piece of paper, and don't think about calling the police, because once you call the police...... Do you think those trash cops can catch me? And that's the end of your future stage dreams. ”

Vera held the folded triangular letterhead tightly in her hand, the other party had made no secret of her threat, in the face of the terrorists who could quietly hide her hiding in her apartment, Vera had reason to believe that even if she called the police, it was very likely that she would not be able to catch him, if he escaped, he would definitely try to take revenge on himself, what would he do when the time came?

In fact, from the beginning of the so-called cooperation proposed by the other party, she had no choice.
