Yan Jing couldn't believe what he heard, looked up at Xie Chi and stared: "Brother, you just said..."
He secretly glanced at Lu Wen, and Lu Wen nodded to him with a smile: "Your brother Xie agreed."
Yan Jing's expression instantly brightened, and his eyes were full of excitement. He secretly turned his head to look at Lu Wen, and while he could still see, he frantically gave Lu Wen a wink - "Did you hear that he agreed! Did you hear! Did you hear!"
Lu Wen nodded helplessly.
Xie Chi tidied up the placket and cuffs, and extended his hand to Yan Jing very formally: "Is this more real?"
Yan Jing stared at those extremely beautiful hands for a while, before she understood what he meant. The tip of her nose suddenly became a little sore, for fear that he would regret it, she quickly shook hands with Xie Chi.
Xie Chi smiled, a little helpless.
After a short three minutes, Yan Jing's eyes fell into darkness again, but he remembered those white and warm hands, he had a partner, and he had the motivation to work hard.
"Brother," Yan Jing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I slipped away to do my homework first, otherwise it would be too embarrassing, just contact me directly on the app if you have anything, and I will be there anytime!"
He can't see, but the app has a voice reading function, which is a bit time-consuming, but he is busy anyway.
Yan Jing couldn't wait, and before Xie Chi and Lu Wen could respond, she quickly grabbed her phone and left the office.
"It's hot," Xie Chi looked at Lu Wen, he sat down again, hooked his long legs, slid the chair in front of Lu Wen, clasped his hands in front of him, and said lazily, "Ask you a question, if it's inconvenient There is absolutely no need to answer."
Lu Wen was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted: "Face?"
Xie Chi said calmly: "Yes, because we are one world, but you are obviously not completely human, so I am more curious."
Xie Chi lowered his eyes and stared at his fingers. What was there in the world he was in that he didn't know
Lu Wen was silent for a few seconds, then said happily: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, I am indeed not completely human."
Xie Chi was startled.
Lu Wendao: "My house is near the sea, and you can see the blue sea as soon as you walk out a few hundred steps. On our side, the old man often warns young girls not to swim in the sea in revealing clothes, because there may be lewd people. Murlocs force them to copulate with them."
Xie Chi asked, "Are you sure there really is a creature like a murloc?"
Lu Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Or where did these scales on my face come from?"
Because of Yan Jing's cheerfulness and Xie Chi's equal treatment, he had long since looked away from the ugly scales on his face, and felt that he could reveal anything to Xie Chi.
Xie Chi was startled and quickly accepted. He had never seen or heard many things, which did not mean that they did not exist. He just lacked an opportunity to understand them.
Lu Wen continued: "According to legend, hundreds of years ago, the people living on the shore even regarded the murlocs in the sea as gods, and threw virgins into the sea to dedicate them to the murlocs every once in a while to seek blessings."
Xie Chi asked, "What does a murloc look like?"
Lu Wendao: "No one has ever seen it, but it does exist. I have seen human manuscripts hundreds of years ago in the museum near my home. It seems that someone painted the appearance of a murloc, but I don't know if it is true or not. Inside, they had ugly faces, fish lips, blue eyes, noses with only two small holes in them, figures covered in fish scales, and huge naked—"
Lu Wen coughed twice: "You know what I mean."
"Well," Xie Chi changed the subject awkwardly, "What about the girls who were dedicated to the murlocs?"
Lu Wendao: "Part of them drowned, their bodies floated to the sea and were picked up by people, and some were found on the beach unharmed."
Xie Chi asked: "The one who met the murloc was rescued by the murloc and survived, and the one who didn't meet drowned?"
"Yes, the ones who survived were 'enjoyed' by the murlocs," Lu Wendao said. "Some of them will be pregnant with murloc children. They cannot have abortions, they can only be born."
Xie Chi glanced at Lu Wen's scaly face, and instantly understood that Lu Wen knew that Xie Chi was talking about business and didn't feel any embarrassment. He simply took off his shirt, turned his back, and showed Xie Chi. Densely scaly back.
Xie Chi looked at the scales and instantly understood: "So your mother is..."
Feeling a little offended, he stopped the topic in time: "Sorry."
Lu Wen was very calm and smiled: "It's not what you think, my mother is not one of those virgins who are thrown into the sea. My mother was very lively when she was young and liked to drive a fishing boat to play in the sea, and then she encountered a storm. , the boat was accidentally overturned by the waves, my mother almost died, she was rescued ashore by a murloc, and she was pregnant with me when she got ashore."
"My mother is a very romantic woman. She gave birth to me happily, and kept telling me that there was nothing shameful, it was me who couldn't think of it before and was very concerned about it."
"Then doesn't she remember what the murloc looked like?" Xie Chi asked.
"I don't remember," Lu Wen laughed, "but that doesn't prevent her from falling in love. For twenty years, I believe that she will one day see the murloc who saved her again."
Xie Chi suddenly understood where Lu Wen's kindness and integrity came from.
"So you are a mixed blood of humans and murlocs?" Xie Chi asked.
Lu Wendao: "That's right, I was just born and looked like a human baby. When I grew up, scales would gradually appear on my body. Arguing about moving to the city away from the sea because I don't want me to end up scaly out of the water."
"Those descendants of people and murlocs have two directions of development. One is that, inspired by the sea, they eventually become covered in scales and cannot be separated from the water. One day they jump into the sea and never come back. The other is to stay away from the sea. Barely maintained his human form."
Xie Chi nodded, surprised and a little emotional, he then asked: "Then you say bloodline awakening?"
Lu Wendao: "It is very difficult to awaken the murloc bloodline. After awakening, these scales on the face will fade away, but when I think about them, they will immediately come out to protect the torso, which usually doesn't cause me trouble, which is exactly what I want. Yes, that's why I came here, I don't want to be inspired by the sea to evolve in the direction of a fish, I want to maintain a human form, awaken the murloc bloodline, and be a normal person."
Xie Chi nodded: "Why does no one know about such a strange thing, and there is no media coverage?"
Lu Wendao: "I don't know either, maybe it's some kind of mysterious force?"
After he finished speaking, he felt how magical this sentence was, and smiled embarrassedly.
Xie Chi said: "So our world hides many secrets."
Lu Wen nodded in agreement.
The phone rang suddenly, Xie Chi looked down, Yan Jing was looking for him.
He stood up and said apologetically, "I'll go first."
Lu Wen said, "Okay."
Xie Chi put the phone back in his pocket and walked to the door of the office. When he came to the door, he suddenly paused. He turned around and leaned against the door: "Actually, when I was young, I never thought that I would become a horror painter."
Xie Chi's voice was light, his eyebrows lowered.
Lu Wen was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Xie Chi raised his eyes: "My parents 'set' me to be a scientist, and I thought that would be the case, because when I was a child, I did show a strong interest in science according to their 'set'. Interested, until one night, I had a dream that I couldn't remember."
"Waking up, I couldn't believe I was going to be a horror painter."
Lu Wen was shocked: "How could this happen?"
Xie Chi shook his head: "I don't know, my interest seems to be completely lost all at once. I feel like I have no choice but to become a painter."
Lu Wen was too shocked to speak.
"For me at the time, what I would do when I grew up was not something worth thinking about, so I didn't pay too much attention to why."
Xie Chi suddenly recalled this past when he heard Lu Wen talk about his experience.
Lu Wen was at a loss.
Xie Chi said: "I sometimes dream, and I can hear some vague sounds. I don't know if it's an illusion."
"A lot of my paintings are inspired by things I've dreamed about, but I'm not even sure what that thing looks like, it's so subtle and indescribable."
Lu Wen's face was full of disbelief.
Xie Chi had always thought that it was because he had been investigating paranormal events and accumulating paranormal data that he had been thinking and dreaming every day, but when he contacted Lu Wen, he suddenly felt that things might be more complicated than he thought.
Lu Wen was full of suspicion: "This..."
Xie Chi smiled lightly: "Maybe we will have a chance to understand why in the future, but not now."
Lu Wengang was a little melancholy, but Xie Chi glanced at him with a half-smiling smile: "The premise is that you are still alive."
Lu Wen: "..."
…
Xie Chi came back from Lu Wen and entered his office through the app. His office was exactly the same as Lu Wen's.
Xie Chi invited Yan Jing, Yan Jing pushed open the door and came in, holding up his mobile phone, he said excitedly, "Brother! A variety show has sent you an invitation letter!"
"Variety?" Xie Chi didn't expect the app to have variety shows in addition to horror movies.
Yan Jing pulled over the chair and sat opposite Xie Chi, and pushed his phone to him.
Above is an invitation letter:
[Hello, Xie Chi, No. 6 on the New Talent List, this is an invitation letter from the competitive horror variety show "Horror Mixture". We sincerely invite you to participate in our program. The program has a lot of rewards and will not disappoint you. Exposure has also been consistently high, and this is a great opportunity for you to grow your followers significantly. ]
Horror skewers? Skewer
Xie Chi thought of entertainment projects such as song mixes and dance mixes, that is, combining several different songs and dances into a program to entertain the audience.
As the name suggests, "Skewer of Horrors" should be a collection of several horror stories in series.
Yan Jing said: "I just went back and submitted the binding procedures with you, and this invitation letter was sent to me. I didn't know what was going on, so I asked the two brokers I just met, and they told me that it was also us. Good luck, isn't today July 30th? This show is held every two months, the deadline for sending invitations for this issue is tomorrow, and then the show will be recorded live on the 3rd of next month, and we just caught up."
Xie Chi nodded and listened, and when he finished speaking, he said, "What does it mean to be sixth in the new talent list?"
Yan Jing pulled out a piece of paper from the blue folder he brought to Xie Chi: "This is the agent's backstage data, and the new talent list is the total score list of new actors in the last two months. There are more than ten thousand newcomers, thank you brother, you are the sixth."
Xie Chi browsed the content on the paper. The paper only provided the top ten names of the cutting-edge list. The first one was Youjing, with a score of 1988.
The second Ren Ze, 1443 points.
Xie Chi frowned slightly, the fault is so big? A full five hundred points difference.
The next few points are not much different.
Yan Jing couldn't sit still a little, moved around, and said with ecstatic expression: "Brother Xie Xie, don't think that you are only sixth, this is the list for the past two months, it seems that you only tied the app in in July, this The statistics on the list are for two months between the beginning of June and the end of July. For those in front of you, most of them have been there for almost two months, and it will be more than a month if they are not good. Both You Jing and Ren Ze, You've only been in the top ten for less than a month, you're really not worse than them, maybe a lot better than them!"
"By the way, Brother Lu is just tenth with more than 800 points! He is still three or four days away and two months away. If he does not exceed this deadline, he is considered to have caught up with the last bus." Yan Jing pointed to the data and ranked tenth in the new cutting-edge Lu Wen said.
Yan Jing was much more reliable than before, and Xie Chi quickly understood the specific situation.
"Horror Mix" is a horror variety show in which emerging actors compete. The invited objects are the top ten actors in the emerging list who have bound the app within two months. It is voluntary to go or not. If invited, the actor is shooting other horror movies. If the schedule can't be missed, you can also not go.
In the variety show mode of "Horror Mixture", the actors enter the horror scene and challenge a series of ghost stories to see who can clear the level the fastest and pass the most stories.
There will be senior actors, guests and audiences at the scene. The whole process of the variety show will be broadcast live. In the final ranking, the audience votes will be 2, the guest selection will be 3, and the personal performance will be 5.
The first place in the competition will be awarded 300 points, the second place will be awarded 200 points, and the third place will be awarded 100 points.
The reward points are indeed few, but because of the high exposure of variety shows and the high limit of fans, if you perform well, you will earn no less points if you add up the number of fans and competitive rewards.
The most important thing is that this show only takes three days, which is much better cost-effective than making horror movies.
Yan Jing asked eagerly, "Brother, are you going?"
Xie Chi smiled and said, "Go."
