Schmidt did not show any surprise at this question, because it sounds like a common, everyday problem.
"It's probably been more than ten years. I can't remember the specifics. Unlike Mr. Li, I am not from Strasbourg..."
According to him, John Lee's uncle is from Strasbourg himself. In this place, it seems to have lived for many years.
Most of what Schmidt talked about next were clues of little value. As for John Lee’s uncle, the only thing I learned about him was that he was relatively indifferent and had no heirs because he was single. After the death of John’s parents, and John also seems to have been out of touch for years.
In the script, Schmidt did not explain that John should not go to places like "basement" and "attic", or taboos such as "don't do certain things around what time at night". As far as he was concerned, his knowledge of the house was limited.
"Actually, I can keep you here and continue working, Mr. Schmidt."
"No need," Schmidt shook his head. "I plan to go back to my hometown in France and stay with my children. I was reluctant to serve Mr. Li for many years... I'm sorry, Mr. John."
"nothing… "
"If you need someone to help you take care of food and daily life, I can recommend..."
"No need. I'm used to living alone."
"Okay, then... I hope you have a good time here."
That's all that can be asked from Schmidt's mouth. So far, this character has retired, and it is estimated that he will not appear again until the end of the movie.
Ye Xiang could only let him leave. The other party was planning to retire and return home. Obviously, he had no intention of continuing to work, and Ye Xiang couldn't persuade him to stay, but he still asked him to leave a contact number. As for whether it will work in the future, No one will know.
After Schmidt left, Ye Xiang stayed alone in this big house.
Alone, living in a foreign country where no one he knows exists, it is easy to be lonely, but Ye Xiang, who woke up from the dream, is no longer what he used to be. At this time, he has no feeling about loneliness.
The first thing he had to do was to close the curtains, and then, he started packing his luggage.
The members of the Fallen Star Cult are probably currently monitoring themselves. Naturally, it was difficult for him to sleep peacefully in this place. Marquis and the others don't know when they will appear on the stage, so they must be fully prepared. But for Ye Xiang now, as soon as he falls asleep, he can get in touch with the Marquis immediately, so there is no need to worry too much.
Regarding how to deal with the members of the Fallen Star Cult, Ye Xiang already had a plan. First of all, as long as the opponent is a human actor, he can't escape the detection of the devil's eyes, so it will be difficult for the opponent to make a surprise attack with mental arithmetic or unintentional methods, so he must break through head-on. Ye Xiang still can't verify how strong he is, but ordinary first-line actors may not pose much threat to him, but if he is at the actor level, or even a bishop in black like Ye Xingyun, if he comes in person, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, even so, Ye Xiang was not afraid. After all, if he played all his cards, even if it was the film king, he didn't think he would not be able to escape. You know, Ye Xiang's current life-saving methods are also quite terrifying. What's more, regarding this situation, he and the Marquis have had many discussions in advance.
Soon, night came.
Because Ye Xiang's original location in Germany is basically the same time zone as here, so there is no problem of time difference. There is still some food accumulation here, Ye Xiang plans to start buying ingredients tomorrow, because the character John has lived alone for a long time, so he has learned to cook Western food a long time ago.
After dinner, Ye wanted to continue with the translation work. After all, translation is John’s main job for making a living. As long as he mails the translation manuscript to the publishing house, the account will be automatically credited in euros every month.
Ye Xiang is currently facing the computer, translating the books that need to be translated from French to German. The work of translation is actually very difficult. It is actually quite difficult to convert different languages perfectly. However, if the translation quality of a book is not good, it may even cause a devastating blow to the book.
And what he is translating now is a vampire novel with Gothic style. Since "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries" became popular, the theme of vampires has once again caused a huge response. This time, the publisher also saw the market prospects of the theme of vampires, so they chose to make this 435-page vampire novel to let John does the translation.
John had already translated a third of the content before coming to Strasbourg. But frankly speaking, translating this book is a rather uncomfortable thing for him, because this book is different from the current vampire theme, but a real horror novel. Moreover, the novel collects a lot of vampire legends from the medieval period. The content is like Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", and many real people and events in history are involved. It even feels like real history when you read it.
And... the most strange thing for him is...
In the latest chapter of the novel, the protagonist has come to Strasbourg!
The city that was once ravaged by the Black Death also had traces of vampires. It's just that all of this has been annihilated in the tide of history. The interweaving of history and fantasy makes people sometimes unable to understand whether it is true or false.
Of course this can't be a coincidence.
The name of this novel is "Night Clan".
Before he knew it, Ye Xiang had already carried out the translation work until after eight o'clock in the evening, and finished translating Chapter 23 of the book.
After the translation was completed, Ye Xiang couldn't help but admire the terrifying plot of the novel.
He saved the latest translation and closed his laptop.
The plot of the novel "Night Clan" has been firmly engraved in his mind.
And obviously... this book is not fiction, but a documentary novel of real history. However, not many people would believe this.
This place is not like a big city like Shanghai. Even after eight o'clock, it is still a city that never sleeps. For Ye Xiang, it is natural to go to sleep immediately and contact the Marquis.
Before going to bed, however, he planned to inspect the house.
After walking downstairs and confirming the door lock, Ye Xiang walked along the corridor to check other rooms.
Many of the furniture decorations in this ancient house are enough to directly shoot a movie in the medieval period. In the hall, there is a piano covered with cloth, next to several plaster statues.
Everything is normal.
However, Ye Xiang still used the devil's eyes to investigate in detail. After finally confirming that everything was fine, I went back upstairs.
After walking upstairs, he went straight to the shower. After coming out of the shower, I turned off the light and lay down on the bed.
The whole ancient house fell into darkness and silence.
For an actor, falling asleep in the environment of such a horror movie is definitely a scary thing, let alone in a city with a strong medieval atmosphere like Strasbourg. However, Ye Xiang can sleep with peace of mind. He has a clone. Although the main body and the clone are now fused together, the body and the clone cannot be killed at the same time.
But... after entering the dreamland...
Ye Xiang never contacted the Marquis at all!
Today's Ye Xiang has long been able to control his sleep, and he can also stay quite awake in his dreams.
What happened to the Marquis
Why can't I contact myself
Ye Xiang seemed to be isolated in Strasbourg, a foreign land!
At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Xiang woke up.
Nothing around has changed.
Ye Xiang stood up, he went outside, intending to go to the kitchen to pour some water to drink.
At this time, Ye Xiang, who was on the movie screen, was walking in the dark corridor. The moonlight spilled into the room, giving it a little light. The movie screen first gave Ye Xiang a close-up, and then, the stairs that Ye Xiang walked up made a "creaking" sound, obviously it had been in disrepair for a long time, and if you look carefully, there are still some cracks on it.
And at this time...
The lens suddenly focused on the crack.
then…
In that crack, an eye suddenly opened!
