DSF Chapter 26

 Zong Qi shouted this out of desperation. He had no intention of casually accepting someone else as his mother. He just wanted to divert the attention of the resentful spirit through some coquettish operation.

In order to survive, call mom what’s wrong!

Fortunately, after Zong Qi called out the last word "Mom", the other party was indeed stunned as he thought, and slightly loosened the hand holding his neck, his face full of confusion and confusion.

Soon enough, the black-haired young man took a few breaths of fresh air and sat back down at the bottom of the well. He turned around and heard the system prompt.

[The filming of the big script "Desolate Village" has ended]

[List of actors: Crow, migrant worker, Huang Mao, Anna, Master Wang, Long Aotian, repairman]

[Your final value - scream value: 5050, "Desolate Village" script exploration progress: 55%, number of surviving actors: 6]

[Scream value, passed; script exploration progress, failed; number of surviving actors, excellent. The settlement and rating for you is in progress, please wait]

How come the surviving actor is 6?

Zong Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the list of participants, only to find that the last number on the list had quietly turned gray in just three minutes.

The repairman died.

After the repairman pushed Anna down the well, he didn't know where he ran.

Logically speaking, after reshooting, Zong Qi prevented the spread of the mother poison in Master Wang's body, and the bloody corpse was eliminated by Xiao Hong. Even if the repairman ran around, he should not be in danger again, let alone his acting ability. It exceeded the value required for the third act, so Zong Qi didn't consider his safety at all.

Zong Qi thought for a while and couldn't think of a reason.

After the filming of the movie ended, everything around him became still again, and Anna, who was surrounded by black mist just now, also disappeared.

Time and space distorted and transformed, and almost in the blink of an eye, everything around him was swallowed up by the fog.

Zong Qi could feel Xiaohong being pushed back by an invisible force and returning to his back.

[The rating of this movie "The Village" is: C]

[13% will be deducted from the actors’ remuneration, 20% will be deducted from the assisting staff’s performance, 10% will be deducted from the system handling fee, and the remaining remuneration will be 57%]

[You have obtained 570 points]

"It's really dark. There is still 10% of the handling fee."

Zong Qi muttered and shook his head, and when he raised his head, he realized that he had reappeared on the outskirts of Jiangzhou.

However, even if the system took the commission and the actor withheld the system, he could still get 570 points, which is more than 5,000 yuan. This was only the result of seven days of filming.

Zong Qi was quite satisfied with this, and even the unexpected change of meeting Anna this time that almost made him overturn did not dampen his happiness.

The surrounding fog has long since dissipated quietly, and the setting sun hangs high in the distance. The golden sunlight shines on the old buildings, giving it an indescribable sense of age.

It was just when a bus arrived. Many people got off the bus and crowded around the bus stop sign.

Zong Qi saw that among the people who came down were Long Aotian and Master Wang, and there was a crow standing next to the sign with a confused look on his face.

However, just like the repairman said, after the filming of the movie, these actors forgot each other's looks and appearance, only remembering a code name, and now they don't know who is who when they stand face to face.

But this is best.

Zong Qi saw that the crow seemed to be aware of his gaze, and quickly withdrew his gaze, straightened his back and got on the bus.

"What? Crow he is not Ouroboros???"

On the bus, Zong Qi whispered to Xiao Hong about the details of the movie shooting just now.

Perhaps because Xiaohong is an assisting employee, it still retains the memory of the reshooting period of the movie. But this time jump is nothing to it. At best, it is that during the second reshoot, they found the robbery hole made by Crow and Huangma in advance and pulled the unconscious Crow out of the tomb.

But what Zong Qi cares about is not this, but the cell phone recording Xiao Hong brought back.

He listened to it over and over again and asked Xiaohong in a low voice: "Does he really have proof in his pocket?"

The shadow on the ground rolled twice, and a strand of hair was wrapped around the card and handed over.

Zong Qi was startled and looked around to make sure no one noticed him before sneakily taking it over.

This is a pure black card. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of. It is very comfortable to hold in your hand. It has silver words printed on it. It is indeed exactly the same as the message the crow said in the recording.

"The Secret Mobile Team is another unknown organization. It sounds like it is on the opposite side of Ouroboros."

The black-haired young man thoughtfully stuffed the work permit into his backpack.

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

However, Zong Qi has a deep understanding of the authority of the Ouroboros organization, and for the time being he does not dare to believe too much in Crow, the undercover agent who revealed his identity, and can only wait and see what happens.

Gao Mu is from the National Security Secret Service, so maybe you can ask her when you go to the police station to find her.

With this thought in mind, he stretched out in his seat, turned around and got off the bus when he heard the station announcement.

What Zong Qi didn't see was that at the moment he turned his head, a very familiar billboard flashed on the bus stop sign. Several passers-by saw it and stopped.

"Wow, it's a new movie. The premiere is tomorrow."

"Let me see what's the name of "The Village"? It's directed by Q. I've never heard of this director in China. It's strange."

"But there really aren't many domestic horror movies. I'll make a note of them and watch them when I have time after get off work tomorrow."

Zong Qi went straight back to the apartment.

After sleeping in the countryside for a few days, the dirt bed will definitely not be as comfortable as a bed in an apartment.

As soon as he closed the door, he ran to the bed in his slippers and stretched out on his stomach.

Xiao Hong floated out from the back of his head with a disgusted expression.

"Wow, Xiaohong, your face!"

Seeing its face, Zong Qi was so shocked that he sat up from the bed.

Without him, because the cracks on the red-clothed ghost's face disappeared.

It turns out that Xiaohong's face was covered with flowing pieces of rotten flesh, which was impossible to see. It was exactly like the female ghost in all the major ghost movies. After devouring the blood corpse, those cracks gradually began to close. Although they still looked full of horror, they were no longer flowing.

But now, Xiaohong's face has completely returned to normal. Apart from being a little pale, she looks almost the same as an ordinary person.

Of course, if he were released like this, he wouldn't look like a living person.

"Don't say it, Xiaohong, you look pretty like this, but the dark circles under your eyes are a little deeper."

Zong Qi murmured to himself, and Xiao Hong shook his head proudly, causing his face to be covered with black hair.

Thinking about this change, Zong Qi guessed that this should be Xiaohong's reward for assisting employees in this movie shooting. Unfortunately, because Xiaohong's vocal cords have not recovered, a lot of information cannot be communicated.

But this gave Zong Qi a new inspiration. For example, when you make a movie next time, add Xiaohong to the cast, and the wealth will not go to outsiders anyway; another example is that you can sign more actors under the guise of employee benefits, but this system seems to only sign ghosts.

Just as Zong Qi was thoughtfully implementing capitalist ideas, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Who?"

The black-haired young man struggled to get up from the bed, put on his slippers, and walked over cautiously.

He thought that this house was a famous haunted house in Jiangzhou, and no one except Qi Ningzhou and the friends in the live broadcast room knew that he lived here. Zongqi usually doesn't have express delivery or order takeout, so who will knock on the door suddenly.

Zong Qi turned on the light in the entrance hall, looked into the cat's eye, and found that he could see nothing but white.

"What's going on? Someone stuffed something into the cat's eye?"

He put the cat-eye cover in confusion, turned around and called Xiaohong over, took a knife in his hand, and opened the door fully armed.

Unexpectedly, it was Anna standing outside the door.

"Anna? Not you?"

Immediately Zongqi broke into a cold sweat.

He saw that Anna was still maintaining her movements during the movie shooting, placing her hand slightly on her belly.

She hasn't played yet!

Anna pursed her lips and showed a gentle smile: "Hello, it's our first time meeting you, so it's a bit annoying. But it's not that I want to see you, it's a good friend of mine."

As soon as she finished speaking, her black and white pupils turned upward and turned into white.

Visible to the naked eye, cold resentment swept through the corridor. Xiao Hong, who was floating behind Zong Qi, immediately exploded and subconsciously released his ghost energy to resist the opponent, but was at a disadvantage.

'Anna' grinned at him: "We meet again, my child. Where did you go just now? Mom had a hard time looking for you."

Zong Qi: ""

It's over, it's over.

This was the only thought left in his mind.

Not to mention that he is now out of the filming and has no authority to protect his body. Even if he has director authority, the evil spirit possessing Anna can still hurt him.

Zong Qi never expected that this ghost in the deserted village would still exist after filming ended.

And he actually came directly to his house, smelling of cursed coconut.

Even so, although survival is important, Zong Qi still doesn't want to deceive a mother who is struggling to find her child in this situation.

"Sorry, ma'am, I'm really not your child. I deceived you before. I'm very sorry."

"Lied to me? No, you didn't lie to me."

'Anna' shed tears of blood again, "Only mother's bloodline can survive the curse. Mother has been sleeping underground for too long, and she only remembered when she saw that bugs would not hurt you. Can you forgive me, mother?"

Zong Qi opened his eyes wide, and suddenly felt blessed and figured everything out.

It stands to reason that the goddess who inherits the bloodline of the great witch is the one who can resist the poisonous insects. However, I don't know what happened in this village. As a result, the current goddess did not inherit the blood of the great witch. Instead, Zong Qi, a person who accidentally took away the director's authority, bumped into her.

It was precisely in this way that the evil spirit possessing Anna in front of him believed his lies, misunderstood that he was her child, and stubbornly chased him from the filming scene to here.

In shock, a message suddenly popped up on Zong Qi's pupils.
