- Chapter 83 - Accidentally Casting a Psychopath to Play a Psychopath
After finalizing the script, Qing Li followed the crew to the first shooting location, a wasteland not far from the village.
Qing Li, walking at the back, felt that sense of being watched again. She turned abruptly to see two emaciated, hunchbacked humans with sinister eyes staring at her on the village path.
Beside them stood a pale little girl with lifeless, spiritless eyes.
“There are still humans living in this village, but we won’t disturb them.”
Seeing Qing Li hadn’t followed, the short ghost turned back. His old glasses pressed a bloody mark on his nose, almost embedding into his flesh.
Qing Li frowned deeply, seeing the faces of the dead in those three people.
But… why were they still alive?
This village was indeed very strange!
Upon reaching the shooting location and setting up all the equipment, filming officially began.
The short ghost shouted, “Action——”
The camera slowly panned.
In the sunny, tranquil little mountain village, four huge, hideously-faced ghosts held hands, playing joyfully together. They opened their enormous mouths, emitting eerie, piercing laughter.
The camera turns again.
Not far down the road, a figure is gradually approaching. She looks young and naive, with fair and clean skin, and a harmless, shallow smile on her lips.
Four simple and kind-hearted ghosts see a human for the first time. They are charmed by her cute appearance and warmly invite Qing Li to visit their home.
So, the petite and cute Qing Li follows the ghastly and terrifying ghosts to their home…
“Cut—”
The first scene is successfully shot, pleasing the short ghost.
However, the assistant director frowns and says, “Boss, this human girl looks too soft. Can she really scare the ghosts in the theater?”
In the eyes of the ghosts, Qing Li’s harmless appearance makes her the most delicious ingredient, being fair and tender.
Casting her as a deranged ghost pursuer at this point seems unlikely to resonate with the audience.
The short ghost glares at him and disdainfully says, “You know nothing. It’s precisely this kind of non-threatening face that can bring a shocking twist to the audience when playing a psychopath.”
This remark is heard by the live audience, who overwhelmingly agree.
[This ghost director could never have dreamed that he’s hired a real psychopath.]
[I’m actually worried for those four ghost actors; I hope this shoot doesn’t become their lifelong nightmare.]
[Seeing them take the naive girl back home, my heart clenches for them.]
[Four poor little guys, they thought they met a kind person, but instead, they let the wolf into the den.]
The second scene to be shot involves Qing Li hunting ghosts in a wasteland.
The makeup artist ghost reaches into his own stomach and pulls out bloody intestines, then rubs them on Qing Li’s clothes, creating a bloodstained, mad look.
Seeing her coat ruined again, Qing Li quietly reminds him, “Be gentle, don’t break your intestines.”
The makeup artist ghost is touched, saying, “Didn’t expect you humans to care about ghosts.”
Qing Li: “I’m just worried you’ll get your intestines on my clothes.”
Makeup artist ghost: “…”
The second scene officially begins.
In a desolate wasteland, a small, helpless ghost stumbles forward, constantly looking back as if seeing something terrifying, its red eyes filled with fear.
“No, don’t come over…”
His cries are desperate.
Behind him is a slender figure,
Covered in blood, carrying a huge axe on her shoulder, her pale face showing a sinister smile.
Qing Li moves neither slowly nor quickly, but gradually closes in on the fleeing ghost.
Short ghost: “This axe prop is great!”
Props ghost: “We didn’t give her that!”
They had given her a kitchen knife.
“You can’t escape, you might as well let me kill you.”
Qing Li’s voice is soft and sweet, but her words send chills down the ghost’s spine.
The fleeing ghost actor panics inexplicably, feeling a trace of fear towards this human girl!
“Don’t…don’t come closer.”
His voice trembles, his expression even more fearful.
The petite ghost was very satisfied with his acting, feeling that the ghost actor had made great progress and showed no trace of acting.
But what surprised him even more was Qing Li. He thought this human was a natural actor, whose skills were innate and perfectly merged with the character.
At this moment, all the ghosts in the crew were drawn into the tense atmosphere by Qing Li.
Qing Li, carrying a huge axe with remnants of blood and flesh on the blade, exuded a dangerous aura.
Seeing the ghost in front running farther away, she lost her patience and casually threw the huge axe dozens of meters away.
“Crack—”
The flying axe chopped off the fleeing ghost’s legs, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Crew: “!!!”
What’s happening!
Qing Li had already walked up to the ghost with its legs chopped off. She picked up the giant axe from the ground, looking down coldly at the ghost on the ground, a shallow, unemotional smile on her lips.
“Since you won’t obey, I’ll have to chop off your legs first.”
The ghost actor exchanged a glance with Qing Li, her icy gaze chilling him to the bone.
No, he didn’t want to act anymore!
He wanted to go home!
“Don’t… please let me go!” the actor ghost cried out in despair.
He wasn’t acting; these were his true feelings!
The petite ghost adjusted his glasses: “Not bad, the acting is getting better.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve heard it’s hard to kill you ghosts, so I’ll play with you for a while.”
Qing Li smiled slightly, neatly arranging the severed legs on the ground, and innocently asked, “If I chop you into dozens of pieces and put you back together, will you still heal?”
A shiver ran down the ghost actor’s spine.
“Director, help! This human is a lunatic, I won’t shoot anymore, I won’t…”
The ghost actor couldn’t take it anymore.
But the petite ghost thought the plot was at its climax, it couldn’t just stop because he didn’t want to shoot.
“Little Li, cut off his tongue first so he stops talking nonsense, then continue shooting,” said the petite ghost.
Qing Li obediently nodded: “Okay, Director.”
Ghost actor: “…”
