When Ji Ning woke up from the coma, it was noon the next day.
He sat up from the bed in a daze, first glanced at the shimmering terminal on his wrist, and saw that the crew left a message on his terminal, the main content was that the filming was suspended today, and they decided to start filming again after confirming the safety of the venue. time.
In addition, the director and Gu Chen also sent a message. The director said that he had come to visit Ji Ning, but was stopped by a friend who was taking care of Ji Ning. He said that Ji Ning was still resting, so he greeted him with a message. Gu Chen was also in the same situation. .
Staring at these few messages, Ji Ning's stagnant thoughts gradually became smoother. Before he could reply, he suddenly recalled what happened before he fainted - Huo Wuling is here again, it was Herinos who took him saved.
The cold he felt at that time seemed to still be in his heart. Ji Ning subconsciously touched his heart. Although the system "Future" said that he could be resurrected, he could not help but feel lucky to be able to escape from death. .
However, Ji Ning soon discovered that his memory had been read and modified by Hirinos again. For some unknown reason, Hirinos seemed to think that he knew Huo Wuling, or had some other doubts. So he read his memory, probably to confirm what is the relationship between the two of them.
At that time, Ji Ning was already in a coma and didn't know anything about it. It was the future that intercepted the reading of Herinos' memory and created some false memories to provide them to Herinos.
Therefore, Herinos didn't find any clues from the memory he read. At least now he believed that Ji Ning didn't know Huo Wuling, so he revised Ji Ning's memory and brought Huo Wuling here last night. thing erased.
Ji Ning guessed that this might be because Hirinos cared about him and didn't want him to leave terrible memories, while Hirinos would secretly investigate Huo Wuling.
Conversely, Huo Wuling may also secretly investigate Herinos...
Thinking of this, Ji Ning called the system "Future" in his consciousness, and wanted to communicate with him about the situation. Although it was unlikely, he still wanted to prevent these protagonists from knowing about novels and time travel.
[The investigation is underway, the cause of the mutation is not yet known, the only certainty is that all the planes you have experienced are merging. 】
The voice of the future is as cold as always: [Huo Wuling and Herinos will appear in this world, both are related to the phenomenon of plane fusion. 】
"You said the planes are merging?"
Ji Ning was slightly startled. If Herinos and Huo Wuling investigated each other and found out that the other party was not from their original world, would they have noticed any clues
[This will not happen. ] The future said, [After the planes merge, their worlds will be distributed in different galaxies in this universe, and at most they think each other is from other galaxies. 】
Hearing his explanation, Ji Ning nodded, relaxed, and asked again, "Does that mean that characters from other novels may also appear?"
【good. ] Answers in the future, [The fusion of these planes and universes will lead to the confusion of time and space. The earthquake you experience is caused by plane fusion, and as the fusion deepens, it will cause more serious problems. 】
"What are the consequences of a complete fusion?"
[You will be trapped in this universe, unable to return to the real world. 】
Future paused, as if he knew what Ji Ning was worried about, he quickly said: [The fusion will last for a long time, about half a year. Before that, we will find out the cause and find a solution. your assistance. 】
Ji Ning thought for a while that this wasn't a big problem. Even if the system couldn't find a solution to plane fusion, half a year would be enough for him to attack Gu Chen and jump to the next world, so he wouldn't be caught in this world.
But if possible, he still wants to lift the power seal as soon as possible. According to the future, he may meet other male protagonists at any time in the future. Although Huo Wuling is the most terrifying one, this does not mean that other male protagonists are It's easy to get along, but it's hard to deal with.
So he asked, "Then my power seal? Since you want me to help, should the seal be lifted for me?"
[They rejected the first application on the grounds that the need for your assistance is only a theoretical possibility, it does not mean that this situation is bound to happen. ] Answered him in the future, [I have made the next application and am waiting for a reply. 】
"I understand."
Ji Ning reckons that until the operator finds out the reason, he may be out of luck if he wants to get the unblocking approval. Before that, he may have to rely on the power of Herinos to protect himself.
It was said before that they needed a week to solve this problem, but does a week really solve it? Ji Ning always felt that he had no confidence in this.
[I will contact you at any time if there is progress. 】The future said.
"Thank you, future."
Ji Ning responded, cutting off the connection between him and the future. Although the future is only an artificial intelligence system, the two of them have experienced so many worlds together, and the relationship is still good, and the future is also very concerned about his safety.
He and the future communicated a lot in consciousness, but in reality only a few seconds later, noticing the movement of his waking up, Herinos, who was sitting on the side watching an ancient book, closed the book, came over and asked with concern :"how do you feel?"
In the memory added by Herinos, Ji Ning woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He drank the healing potion and slept until now. In fact, Ji Ning is still a little uncomfortable. This is because of Huo Wuling's power Sequelae left after erosion.
"never mind."
Ji Ning shook his head and used the terminal to reply to the crew, director and Gu Chen respectively, telling them that he was fine.
"I'll be there during the filming. I've discussed it with the crew, and they agreed." Herinos rubbed Jining's hair and smiled, "Your situation is worrying, so I won't follow you. worried."
Ji Ning looked up at him, guessing that the so-called "discussion" of Herinos was probably a hint to others, but this was exactly what he wanted. Even if Herinos didn't go, he had to find a way to let him go. .
Afterwards, Ji Ning rested for a long time. In the evening, the director visited him personally and asked about his condition. After confirming that Ji Ning was fine, the director said that it had been confirmed by Central Optical Brain. Reinforced, they decided to continue filming tomorrow.
Ji Ning said that there was no problem. The next morning, the cast and crew came to the wasteland early, and because of Herinos' suggestion, the others did not show any objection to his entourage. He became a part of the crew.
"Senior, good morning, have you had a good rest these two days?"
With a smile on his face, Gu Chen took the initiative to come to greet Ji Ning. Even in the face of Herinos' cold and stern gaze, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
In front of everyone, of course Ji Ning will continue to act, maintaining his indifferent and arrogant persona, but nodding lightly, without saying a word. Faced with his attitude, several people wanted to say hello to him. The rookie actors were a little hesitant, but Gu Chen didn't seem to mind and continued to talk to Ji Ning.
"Xiao Ning, didn't you say you still need to read the script?"
It's just that before they could say a few words, Herinos suddenly put his arms around Ji Ning's shoulders and turned his position, just turning his back to Gu Chen, blocking his gaze.
Herinos leaned close to Ji Ning in an intimate posture, glanced at Gu Chen vaguely, and then said with a smile, "I'll play with you."
"Um."
Naturally, Ji Ning couldn't refuse, she slightly raised her lips and nodded.
His smile was very shallow, but it was extremely good-looking, his icy expression softened, as if the ice and snow melted, his beautiful eyebrows were even more gentle and moving, making several newcomers almost unable to look away.
This seemed to be the first time they saw Ji Ning smiling. After all, they were filming a horror movie, and there was no occasion to smile before...
"The two of them have a great relationship."
The newcomers gathered together and muttered a few words, but the sound was not loud, but it already fell into Gu Chen's ears.
"… "
Gu Chen's expression didn't change, but he lowered his eyelashes, looked away from the sight of the two people leaning against each other, and quickly turned his body around.
…
After the preparation time, the filming of "Ghost Shadows" began again in the old house. The actors took their places in the holographically simulated forest outside the old house. The crew also gathered close to the old house to prevent The last accident happened.
Herinos also appeared in the crew with his hinting ability, and watched the feedback from the camera together with the director. As for the exposure to sunlight, it had no effect on him. As a prince-level vampire, the sunlight has almost no effect on him. cause some damages.
The pictures captured in the previous film were completely destroyed due to the failure of the invisible camera. The film had to be shot from scratch. Without Huo Wuling, this time the filming went very smoothly and everything was going as it should.
In the film, they were chased by Specter Ghosts and died one by one. In the end, only the three characters played by Ji Ning, Gu Chen and the heroine were left.
In fact, according to the original script of "Ghost Shadows", there was no role played by Gu Chen. He should have died a long time ago, but Gu Chen performed very well in the previous series of shots, so the director especially Gu Chen revised the script.
The director did not inform the actress and Ji Ning about the revised script, but since Ji Ning had read the entire book "Rebirth of the Star Actor" and knew that Gu Chen was the protagonist of the novel, of course he would shine, and he also knew that Gu Chen would It will play the final boss who is possessed by a ghost.
"Haha, haha..."
Chased by the ghost, the three of them ran to the dark basement, blocked the door, sprinkled a circle of salt that they had just desperately obtained, and blocked the chasing ghost outside the door.
In the painted salt circle, Ning and the heroine felt relieved and sat down tiredly, because they knew that ghosts couldn't cross this line.
But they couldn't imagine that, in fact, within this salt line, the most deadly horror was already hidden - they personally included the Specter into this safe area and so on.
According to the script, Ji Ning lowered his head and gasped violently. The oil lamp they found in the middle of the scene exuded a faint light in this darkness.
"… "
At this moment, Ji Ning was a little nervous, and his back tightened a little, because he had read the original book and knew that the next episode was that Gu Chen's Li Gui would suddenly reveal his true colors and stab him with a knife.
Although the knife in Gu Chen's hand was simulated by a holographic projection, in order to achieve a realistic effect, the projection would also simulate a certain pain on Ji Ning's body. He was still a little afraid of pain.
It's almost time...
Ji Ning was counting down the time in his heart, and slightly tightened his fingers to grasp the fabric of his clothes to prevent himself from subconsciously dodging the knife, but before he was fully prepared, he suddenly heard a soft sound of "pop".
This was the sound of the knife piercing the body, but it did not come from him.
Ji Ning was surprised. As soon as she raised her head, a spray of blood sprayed her face. The girl's expression was still a little dull. She was stabbed in the chest and fell silently.
A blood-stained hand stretched out towards him, his fingers were cold and pale, and he lifted his jaw, and then Gu Chen's figure appeared in Ji Ning's eyes.
The handsome man looked down at him, moved his fingers, gently wiped the blood from his face, and said with a smile.
"Finally... I can get you."
