The movie is about to start, and the ghosts who have bought the tickets are seated one after another. Some ghosts come in with the tickets. When they see the overcrowded movie theater, their eyes widen in shock. Unless the red movie has a surprisingly strong cast and drives traffic, the movie theater is generally unsatisfactory. , Because the tickets are too expensive, there are few ghosts who can afford it.
But this time, the app even did the same thing as the Living World Train - making an exception to sell half-price station tickets. What's even more shameful is that he actually saw a ghost selling small disposable chairs in the corner of the cinema.
The actors are in place, even in the movie theater of the popular movie, there is still a lot of noise inside:
"I heard that there is a new actor in this film!"
"Ah, I'm here for this too, 2,000 coins, so expensive."
The vast majority of the audience came for the gimmick of "New Actor". When the app promoted the new film "Tarot Game", it was also crazy to emphasize this point. The cinema even now has a banner that reads "Change of Actor, Jiang Shuo's first appearance after becoming emperor, the Tarot series "Tarot Game" welcomes you to watch the movie."
"Jiang Shuo has a vest, I don't know who it is, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be the best actor all at once."
"Jiang Shuo died for Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu saved money to watch movies, just wanted to see him die!"
"Sober up, please," the ghost gave him a blank look, "Shen Yi has been swayed by him, you look at the top frontline of the old, the weak, the sick, who has the ability to drag Jiang Shuo down?"
That ghost was a male fan of Shen Yi, and when he heard the words, he blushed and had a thick neck: "Spicy chicken, one out of six, do you want a face? Actor? Is he worthy?"
The ghosts around him sneered: "Who is 1v1 with you? In the world of adults, the process is not important, the result is that Jiang Shuo wins."
Their arguments were quickly drowned out by other ghosts:
"So is it finally time to enter Jiang Shuo's era? I have to get used to it."
A ghost snorted: "It is said that a demigod from a few decades ago ruled the app for six and a half years. Do you think Jiang Shuo can last for two years?"
"Who knows, let's see first."
"I don't understand the grievances of the bosses anyway, but Jiang Shuo is quite handsome."
"It turns out that being a fan of movies and not of actors is the fundamental way to prevent sadness."
"It seems that Xie Chi is here too."
"Xie Chi? The second-tier one who soared up?" The ghost was startled, "Is he so confident, he doesn't have a solid orange slice, so he dares to come to the red slice? He doesn't even have any red props, right?"
The difficulty of red films may not be high, but the power of ghosts will definitely increase as the quality of the film increases, so their own strength is not enough, and the risk factor of higher quality horror films will increase exponentially.
Red films are famous for their well-made, varied styles and rich content. They also test the all-round abilities of the actors. If you want to be a jerk, you don’t have to come to the red films. Go to the lower-quality ones, and the safety rankings will look good. , the ranking is good, the points are naturally more, and there must be more points than the bottom of the red film.
If you want to break out of the siege and win the overall ranking in addition to self-protection, the requirements for personal strength are even higher.
Therefore, most of the people who come to the red film are either familiar partners or strong personal abilities.
It's really unbelievable that someone like Xie Chi has an unstable foundation and doesn't have much network in the app.
The clever ghost gave off an unusual aura, and said mysteriously: "I heard that Xie Chi used Shen Yi's props in the previous film, so Xie Chi is obviously in the same group as Shen Yi, then... Jiang Shuo , Isn't this time not only to prove that he is worthy of the name, but also to kill Xie Chi with one stone?"
"Fuck, it's no wonder that it's about to be broadcast, and I heard that Jiang Shuo is coming to this film! So he's here to clean up Shen Yiyu's party?"
"I'm also convinced by your imagination," the ghost on the side was ashamed, "but speaking of which, Xie Chi leaned up, wouldn't it be grief-stricken, ready to avenge Shen Yi? Otherwise, he would go directly to the low-level movie to avoid the limelight. It's fine, who is going to hit the muzzle at this time, stupid?"
"Aren't you stupid, it seems that Xie Chi can complete his wish and leave with only a few points, so he must go to a high-level movie, go to a low-level movie. If someone wants to kill you, of course, the longer you stay, the more dangerous it will be."
"Vengeance?!" The sleepy female ghost suddenly became excited.
The companion beside him looked disdainful: "Although he is a cutting-edge player who kills the third-tier player and a new star who kills the top-tier player, isn't that the same thing as killing a movie king with a second-tier player? Not to mention the second-tier player who just passed away. Don't be naive, he has red props. Is it? The actor is full of talent, and he has a great talent, maybe he has a companion, and Xie Chi, what does he have?"
"He has the guts to estimate that he can have a set."
"I don't care, there would be no Chichi!"
"Speaking of which, I still can't believe that Shen Yi's father died, hastily and hastily, without warning..."
The auditorium was full of people, and the red light on the wall at the top of the big screen flashed twice, and the audience tacitly fell silent for a moment.
The big screen lit up a little bit, and a line of words appeared—
[The horror film "Tarot Game" officially begins. ]
…
This is a black forest with densely rotting broad leaves. In the acid and black soil, there are brown-purple lobsters hiding under the ugly charred leaves, occasionally sticking out their cold and slender pincers.
There were dark and shiny crows resting on the bare black dead trees all around.
The trees here are so bare that they do not provide any shelter, so that the black castle on the steep cliff at the end of the forest can be seen.
The black eyes of the crows were staring at the dozen or so people lying on the ground. This group of people were new intruders.
There were three bells in the castle that seemed to say "start the game", and then the actors on the ground woke up together.
The moment his consciousness returned to the cage, Xie Chi opened his eyes abruptly. What caught his eyes was not the desolate full moon on the poster, but eight bright eight-sided stars.
Yes, Xie Chi reconfirmed it again. There are only eight stars in the sky, seven small and one large, the small surrounding the large, one-tenth the size of a full moon, and the large one about the size of a full moon. The sky densely distributed above the castle illuminates the eerie castle, while the sky above Xie Chi is dark and gray, without a trace of starlight.
Xie Chi quickly stood up and saw Jiang Shuo who was looking up at the stars at a glance.
Xie Chi calculated from the letter Shen Yi left him at the end that Shen Yi should be about ten years older than him, he was twenty-two, Shen Yi was about thirty, and Jiang Shuo was Shen Yi's older brother, four years older than Shen Yi. Five years old, so the real age is thirty-six-seven.
But the face in front of him is very young, it is estimated that there are at most twenty-five or six.
Jiang Shuo, who has mastered genetic technology, can easily change his genes, so as to achieve the effect of changing his face easily. He can even delay his own aging through this, so for Pet, the face does not represent the real age.
Even without genetic technology, Jiang Shuo could make a wish to hide his true face in the app.
The face may be fake, but most of the temperament can't deceive people.
Jiang Shuo's skin is morbidly pale, tall and thin, but not weak, handsome in appearance, and his facial features are too sharp and clear, and there is a faint shadow.
Standing beside him was a gentle-looking young man with a gentle face. He was the pinnacle of the siege with Jiang Shuo in the video. Xie Chi remembered very clearly that the name of this person on the list was Gu Yu, who was known for being cunning and changeable.
Xie Chi looked around and confirmed again and again that there were only two people in front of him, and there were clearly three people who surrounded Shen Yi, so Li Hao didn't come.
Xie Chi learned from Yan Jing that Li Hao was a good brother that Shen Yi met halfway through. When the two met at Wei Wei, they were born and died together many times.
Xie Chi guessed that Li Hao probably didn't know that Shen Yi was the enemy they were looking for, and Shen Yi didn't know that Li Hao was the pet he hated so much. To this step in the field, can be said to be fate.
Li Hao didn't come. I don't know if Jiang Shuo sent him to do other tasks, or if Li Hao didn't want to participate anymore due to personal reasons.
Of course this is good news for him, he has one less opponent.
Jiang Shuo felt Xie Chi's gaze, and lowered his head to look at him, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and a cold smile was slowly drawn on the corner of his mouth.
He has probably been giving orders for a long time, and he is used to looking at people with his eyes.
Xie Chi just looked back without any turbulence, and did not feel the slightest fear due to the huge difference in strength.
There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Shuo's eyes.
Gu Yu got close to Jiang Shuo, glanced at Xie Chi vaguely, and asked in a low voice respectfully, "Do you want to do it now?"
Jiang Shuo: "Let's figure out the plot."
There is an unspoken rule among top actors - any enmity between actors, wait until the plot is clear before taking action.
There are two reasons. The first is to prevent this person's character from having a connection with himself, and his death will have an indelible bad effect on himself.
This is a rare but not uncommon situation in the "Hospital" that Yi Hesong participated in before - Xie Chi's character is the father of Yi Hesong's character, if Yi Hesong takes action against Xie Chi when the plot is not clear , is likely to lose his own life.
In addition, in the werewolf killing series of horror films, there have also been cases where one of the "couples" was killed for vendetta at the beginning, and the other was forced to die in love according to the rules of the game.
Jiang Shuo has never encountered this kind of situation, but he encountered the second type of situation in the newcomer period - the role of an actor plays a crucial role in the plot, and his accidental death directly caused the plot to fail to progress smoothly or survive. Blocked in vain.
In that movie, because of personal grievances, the actor who played a key role was killed by the actor at the beginning. As a result, at the end of the movie, he found a way to survive, but found that the way of life was significantly related to the actor who was initially killed. In the end, he could only By the end of the movie, hard to endure.
This is just one of them, there may be other types, such as the famous red movie "Death Spell Master", the Death Spell Master can only be attached to the corpse of the dead, the more actors who die, the greater the power of the Death Spell Master. , The more bodies that can be possessed, the more natural and primitive bodies are provided to the Death Spell Master because of vendetta, which is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of the copy.
The actors who entered "Death Cursor" at the beginning were almost wiped out, because they were intrigued and fought endlessly with each other, so that there were countless casualties, which provided a steady stream of bodies for the Death Curse.
If it is a low-quality movie, Jiang Shuo doesn't need to care, he can just pass the border, but red movies have always been known for their anti-routines, and he has to pay attention.
The app prohibits actors from killing actors, not only for the safety of actors, but also to ensure that the copy can be carried out normally, and the actors will not suffer the consequences.
The actor died in the plot, which means that the plot can still proceed unimpeded after his death, but if it is external interference, the actor did not die due to the plot, and everything is difficult to say.
Since the rules exist, they must have their reasons. Before the situation is unclear, it is undoubtedly the safest to follow the rules. After the plot is clear and you have your own complete ideas, you can completely discard the rules and do whatever you want.
"Yes," Gu Yu said with a flattering smile, "your life is more precious than his."
…
Xie Chi retracted his gaze.
He knew exactly what Jiang Shuo was thinking. The reason why Jiang Shuo didn't dare to do anything was also the biggest reliance on his daring to come. To put it bluntly, it is still time to grab the plot. As long as he can dig out the plot clues that Jiang Shuo can't kill him, or he uses the mystery of the dungeon to get help from the sky, he can turn defeat into victory.
Thanks to Shen Yi, Jiang Shuo didn't have so many people who could enter the red film in a short time, so he Xie Chi would not be surrounded and suppressed by a large number of pets who were not afraid of death at all. That was Shen Yi's predicament, not his, he was big Probability will not repeat the same mistakes.
All he had to face was Jiang Shuo, the film emperor who was extremely shy and suspicious by nature, and Gu Yu, who was not enough to kill him.
Shen Yi undoubtedly opened up the situation, so that he no longer had no chance.
Of course, the premise of everything is that he can find the key plot.
"Xie Chi!" The awakened Ren Ze came over and saw that Xie Chi was being targeted by Jiang Shuo, and immediately became alert, for fear that Jiang Shuo would shoot when Xie Chi was unprepared.
Xie Chi reassured: "It's okay, he won't attack me for the time being, but obviously, this safe period won't be long."
Ren Ze didn't understand the reason, but he wisely didn't ask too much. He didn't want to delay Xie Chi's time.
"Where's your sword?" Ren Ze asked in a low voice.
Xie Chi: "Put it away."
Shen Yi's Gorefiend Sword is too eye-catching. With Jiang Shuo's IQ, as long as he sees that sword, he will immediately figure out the ins and outs, which is extremely unfavorable to him.
Ren Ze nodded clearly.
Although the other people in the Black Forest were a little sluggish, they all stood up at this time.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't say anything, but she finally came. She smiled embarrassedly at Xie Chi and Ren Ze, and then trotted over.
Xie Chi nodded slightly to her, and then counted the number of people, including himself, there were a total of eleven actors.
It is not ruled out that there are other pets in these eleven.
The actors were ready to take their places, and the eleven people's cell phones rang in unison—
[A few notes about The Tarot Game:
1. The duration of the film is seven nights.
2. This film is a popular film, and its quality is rare. After the filming is over, the actor who ranks first in the overall ranking will be rewarded with 2000 points, and the other actors will decrease gradually.
3. The character of the film is not important, but the actor's behavior must conform to the basic logic of "a person who participates in tarot games for money". ]
Xie Chi frowned slightly after reading it.
This time, the second and third points are normal, but the first point is obviously different from the previous statement.
In the past, it was basically "the longest duration of this film is x days", but now it has become "the duration of this film is seven nights", which is an exact number of days. In previous films, the saying of "the longest duration" means that the plot exploration can be completed. It ended early, but it seems that this time, they have to stay for seven nights.
And strangely, why Seven Nights? Where did you go during the day
Xie Chi was thinking, and the phone rang again—
[The progress of the plot has been updated, please enter the castle within five minutes. ]
Taking back the phone, Xie Chi observed the surrounding actors.
Those who can come to the red film, except for cannon fodder, are second-tier and above. Xie Chi observed that there is a pair of two people who are together. Judging by their behavior, it seems that they are still lovers. They should have good strength.
They chose to say hello to Jiang Shuo for the first time, probably because they wanted to meet the new actor, but obviously, Jiang Shuo's unsmiling style made them very embarrassed.
Among the remaining four, three looked panicked, probably because they were cannon fodders who were punished for not working hard to make a movie, and the other was a glamorous and indifferent mature woman who was pulling out a lighter to light a cigarette herself. The meaning of coming up to Jiang Shuo to discuss unpleasantness.
"Let's go if there is no problem." Jiang Shuo said, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the strange stars in the sky again, as if he knew something, showing a playful look.
There was no objection from the crowd, and they all followed suit.
The sound of their walking startled the crows in the trees, and the sound of crows flapping their wings and flying high was heard.
"Xie Chi," Ren Ze approached, "Why is the movie duration seven nights? Is there no day in this castle?"
Just as Xie Chi was about to speak, a female cannon fodder stepped on something, and there was a crunching sound at her feet, and the female cannon fodder screamed in shock.
Jiang Shuo stopped, slightly impatient.
The daring male cannon fodder next to him kicked away the rotten broad-leaved leaves, and his eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the struggling and tossing lobster hidden under the broad-leaved leaves.
Everyone stopped, and Xie Chi also looked at it.
It was a purplish-brown lobster with a foot as large as half a shoe sole. It had four pairs of spider-like feet, two front feet swaying rapidly, and the insect beetle-like mouthparts moved back and forth.
It's not as big as a lobster, but it's a lobster. Obviously, there is no nearby water source for it to survive, only the soil on the soles of the feet is still moist, but obviously this is not enough to raise lobsters.
What Jiang Shuo thought became clearer. He walked up and stepped on the lobster. The shell of the lobster was extremely hard. He twisted it hard with his foot, but it didn't die, twisting around like a centipede.
The female cannon fodder said timidly, "This piece of film isn't all about this kind of giant animal..."
No one paid any attention to him, and everyone continued to move forward. The scene just now seemed to be just a small episode.
Xie Chi looked up at the stars in the sky again.
Ren Ze followed Xie Chi closely and lowered his voice: "What did you just say?"
Xie Chi glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, and when he saw Ye Xiaoxiao, he nodded at him and said, "Xingchen."
"What stars?" Ren Zegang asked, suddenly realizing something, looking up at the stars in the sky, and suddenly realized, "You mean, the 'stars' card in Tarolli?"
Xie Chi nodded.
Ren Ze suddenly woke up. There are 22 major arcana cards in the tarot card, these cards are used to explain the spiritual reason of the question asked, it starts from the "Fool" card and ends with the "World" card, which happens to have "stars" this card.
On the star card, seven small stars surround a large star. These stars are not five-pointed stars, but eight-pointed stars, with eight sides, which coincide with the strange scene in the sky in front of them.
So it's the "stars" in the Major Arcana that are at work right now.
Ren Ze's heart skipped a beat, then he realized something deeper, and his breathing was slightly rapid: "Could it be that all the things on the card will appear in the copy?"
The "Xingchen" card has already appeared, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other cards.
Xie Chi said lightly: "It has already appeared."
Ren Ze: "Huh?"
Xie Chi: "That lobster."
Ren Ze immediately reacted: "You said the 'moon' card?!"
Ye Xiaoxiao was very familiar with the details of each tarot card, and said: "That lobster is obviously the lobster in the 'moon' card in the 22 major arcanas of the Tarot, and there is obviously more than one here. lobster."
She stopped talking, and the three kept quiet. Ren Ze soon heard the "quack" sound of two pliers touching each other in the whistling wind, and something brushed the "rust" of the brittle broad-leaved leaves. Voice.
Ren Ze began to recall the information he had made up for before.
Among the 22 major arcana cards in the Tarot, three cards can represent celestial phenomena, namely "sun", "stars" and "moon".
In the "Moon" card, hanging in the dark night sky is a sleeping full moon, which is the same as the one seen on the poster. The "Moon" card depicts a lobster struggling to climb out of the rough and unsettled river it was most accustomed to, setting foot on a narrow, unseen path leading to an unknown In the distance, and at the forefront of its road, there is a wolf and a dog blocking it.
The meaning of the "Moon" card is not important, what is important is that there are lobsters on the "Moon" card, and lobsters appear abnormally in the Black Forest where they are located.
Ren Ze: "The content of the card is truly restored and reproduced...?"
Xie Chi nodded lightly.
Ren Ze thought that the 22 major arcana cards also contained terrifying cards such as the devil and the god of death, and his scalp was slightly numb.
"I may know why it's seven nights." Xie Chi said.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Ren Ze were taken aback for a moment, and they all looked at him.
Xie Chi said: "The lobsters are in the 'moon' card, and they are all hiding now, because the night sky is dominated by 'stars', and the poster does show a full moon in the sky, so I am sure that there must be a 'moon' When ruling the sky, the lobster I saw just now belonging to the 'Moon' card can prove this. There is a 'Moon' card in the copy, and the 'Moon' card will play a role, but obviously, now is not the time."
"The so-called 'seven nights' means," Xie Chi paused, "there is no 'sun'."
Ren Ze was shocked.
Yes, they saw the lobster, the representative of the moon card, and the moon with the moon card on the poster, and now it is obvious that the star card is in charge of the sky, and the copy says it is seven nights, there is no day, that is to say...
This copy is not day and night, but... The stars and the moon alternate, and they are now in the time represented by the stars.
Xie Chi thought thoughtfully: "The rules of the game should be to remove some tarot cards, such as the 'sun' card."
Ye Xiaoxiao also agreed. Obviously, this film uses much more Tarot elements than "Tarot Reaper".
Xie Chi looked at the black castle in front of him and said, "Which cards have been added to the game, we will know when we go in."
With a sound of "Ula", something flew up from behind, and the huge movement it made instantly alarmed everyone.
Xie Chi turned around immediately, but saw nothing, only a dark tree in the distance seemed to be moved and swayed.
A scarlet feather flew down slowly from mid-air.
