Chapter 1, Real Horror Movies
Kang Xueyan's smile grew even more radiant, and her acting was exceptionally natural, which further convinced Ye Xiang that she was definitely not a newcomer actor like himself! No one could still smile after seeing their own corpse!
At this moment, Ye realized that he had found himself in a gloomy wooden cabin
His memory drifted back to ten minutes ago
Upon regaining vision, I found myself sitting inside a bus
Looking out from the car window, the scene outside is a very desolate mountainous landscape. In the darkness, the scenery clearly appears to be receding, as if the vehicle is traveling at high speed, yet at this moment, it seems to be in a state of suspended time. There are no lights inside the car, but he can see clearly and there are quite a number of people seated.
However, he was unable to speak, nor could he move a single part of his body
In any case, the primary concern now is survival. Since this curse truly exists, he can no longer afford to be shocked; he can only recite the lines that appear in his mind like a script. Of course, he reads them without any emotion or color, but fortunately, the curse of this horror film does not demand high acting skills from the actors. Or rather, acting is not a necessary condition for survival.

Or rather, acting is not a necessary condition for survival
Before today, Ye could never have imagined that in just a fleeting moment, his life would undergo a complete transformation
He has already become an actor in this true horror film, with the script of the first scene firmly etched in his mind, every line of dialogue and every action memorized, not even a punctuation mark will be misremembered
Before him, he was astonished to see his own headless corpse, bound tightly. Then, from the darkness, a chainsaw suddenly emerged, and began to operate, incessantly sawing through his body
Ye Xiang is an ordinary office worker, holding the position of an accountant in a company, leading a typical nine-to-five life
Next, the first act of the film begins
Xueyan, this may be our last trip before graduation.
Of course, Ye Xiang did not believe that he could survive in the script. Through observation, it was clear to him that he, Zhang Nianzhu, and Du Ruowu all lacked any distinctive personality traits, clearly belonging to the type of supporting characters whose names would be forgotten even if they died. Although they were classmates who appeared alongside the protagonist, their fate as supporting characters was inescapable. Luo Haosheng and Kang Xueyan would certainly have the opportunity to live a little longer, but he was entirely different!
The people around him are likely actors who have also entered this film with him
He is able to understand that the other party, inexplicably like himself, has become an actor in this real horror movie, and also knows that he will encounter real ghosts. Anyone would be filled with fear; it would be fortunate not to collapse on the spot. Now, under the threat of death, he is compelled to recite his lines, but it is absolutely impossible for them to perform naturally.
This film revolves around the bus that is parked in the deep mountains at midnight
However, her voice is surprisingly pleasant to hear
Ye is ready to move on. The character he is to portray is named Xia Yun. This film tells the story of six university classmates, including the male and female leads, Luo Haosheng and Kang Xueyan, who go on a trip and take this tourist bus. At this point, the movie has just begun. According to the script, countless terrifying events will unfold next. First, the vehicle breaks down, and then everyone finds themselves stranded in this desolate mountain area. Moreover, due to the mountainous terrain, there is no signal, and as night falls, everyone ultimately decides to spend the night on the bus, waiting until the next day to find someone to go down the mountain and seek help to tow the vehicle.

Moreover, due to the mountainous terrain, there is no signal, and as night falls, everyone ultimately decides to spend the night on the bus, waiting until the next day to find someone to go down the mountain and seek help to tow the vehicle
He knew the dialogue between the male and female leads that was about to unfold, so he did not bother to listen at all. At this moment, he was merely analyzing the current situation. In ten minutes, this bus would break down. Subsequently, everyone would temporarily have to spend the night on the bus. This was mainly due to the remoteness of the location and the late hour. However, at the end of the first act, the driver was the first to die
The thought that everyone here is terrified to the utmost extent is overwhelming; if the lines were not clearly present in their minds, they would likely be too frightened to utter a single word
Although it was a casual conversation, Zhang Nianzhou spoke with a mournful expression, and his voice sounded as if he were reading out the results of a failed college entrance examination. By comparison, Ye Xiang could be considered to have relatively good psychological resilience
What is going on here? Now, his body has returned to its perfect state!
Ye gasped in shock, unable to fathom that such a thing could occur. However, the information relayed by his brain was no mere fantasy. The sight of his own corpse being vivisected was not an illusion; the cinema made it clear to him that this was not the result of any human force. They could separate his head from his body and yet he would remain alive, even able to restore his dismembered body to its original state. Therefore, no matter how incredible it seemed, he had to continue playing the role according to the rules set by the cinema. Otherwise, the horrifying scene of his body being dismembered would reoccur. At that moment, it would be true death
The unimaginable horror drove Ye Xiang to the brink of madness; at this moment, he truly wished that everything before him was merely an illusion, yet the scene continued to unfold before his eyes
At this moment, Xia Yun immediately spoke her first line from the script: "Yes, I wonder how much longer the car will take to reach the inn at the foot of the mountain! Alas, we have to go back tomorrow! It feels like we haven't had enough fun yet!"
It was around the time he reached the stairs to the third floor that he suddenly noticed a piece of paper lying at an angle on the ground. There was nothing particularly strange about a piece of paper being there. However, at that moment, Ye perhaps felt a bit too bored, so he bent down and picked up the paper.
The plot has already begun. The two actors in front appeared remarkably calm and composed while delivering their lines, showing no signs of merely reciting them. From this, Ye suspects that this is likely not their first time performing in such a realistic horror film
At this moment, it was evident that Zhang Nianzhu and Du Yan both appeared extremely pale and fearful, looking just like themselves as novice actors. However, Jiang Youlin seemed relatively calm and composed; could it be that she is an experienced actress
The content of that information was initially unbelievable to him; however, at this moment, he had no choice but to believe it. He was silently shouting within himself: I believe, I believe! ... I will do anything, just stop this, just stop this ...
A tremendous terror struck his soul, and then the chainsaw extending from behind gradually sawed his body in half! In the ensuing moments, as blood gushed forth from the severed body, many organs began to spill out, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, and intestines... all began to fall onto his head, and the blood quickly soaked his skull completely... all began to fall onto his head, and the blood quickly soaked his skull completely...
Why ... ? ... Is this a nightmare? But if it is a nightmare, why is it so vivid?
Then, he felt himself being pulled by a tremendous force, and the scenery around him changed in an instant. A moment later, he found himself in that terrifying wooden house, witnessing the sight of his own head severed and his body dismembered! Following that, he reappeared inside this bus
After Jiang Youlin delivered this line, the female lead, Kang Xueyan, turned around from her seat, smiled charmingly, and said: "Hehe, we... are not in a hurry. Haosheng wants to finish his studies first before anything else"
At this moment, Zhang Nianzhu began to recite his lines again: "Xia Yun, are you not having enough fun yet?"
Xueyan, you and Haosheng are also nearing a good outcome, aren't you
However, he is unable to even call out!
For the selected actors, there are no other options; they must cooperate to complete the film, otherwise the next scene will be death
In the darkness, the chainsaw reappeared, and this time, it was aimed directly at the top of his head
At this moment, he is in the world of the horror movie "Horror Bus" depicted on the poster! Finding that poster means that one must shoot one real horror film after another for the "Hell Cinema." In horror films, you will encounter real ghosts and curses, and as an actor, you must confront all the terrors according to the script, and then find a way to survive until the end of the film
Xia Yun is merely a supporting character. The following dialogue will primarily focus on the two main characters, Luo Haosheng and Kang Xueyan. At this moment, he does not need to do anything but watch outside the bus, his mind racing with thoughts of strategies. To be frank, he only has the script for the first act; he knows the terrifying and bizarre events that will unfold next and who the first person to die will be. However, this knowledge alone holds no real value. Additionally, the script explicitly states in red letters that when the bus breaks down, one must remain seated at all times, without even leaving their seat for a moment.

Finally, the corpse was completely dismembered. Ye wanted to look at the pieces of his own body around him; he was on the verge of collapse
According to the plot, it won't be long before this car breaks down. Right now, everyone is surely very anxious, as they will encounter real ghosts here
Next, he realized that he could move
At this moment, Ye clearly remembers every line of the script in his mind, including the lines of others! And at this time, the line spoken by Luo Haosheng is the very first line of the entire film as the protagonist!
Indeed. The speaker next is the female protagonist, Kang Xueyan, who says, "Perhaps this can be considered our graduation trip."
Yet in this wooden cabin, he discovered that he was left with nothing but a single head!
In fact, it is not the case. Even in this real horror movie, there remains a chance for survival. This point has already been clearly established from the very beginning, vividly emerging in one's mind.
Today, he worked overtime until after 8 o'clock, and most people in the company had already left. Due to recent elevator maintenance, he took the stairs. As he descended the stairs, the surroundings gradually began to darken.
This is neither a dream nor an illusion
At this moment, sitting in front of him were the male and female leads, Luo Haosheng and Kang Xueyan. The cinema had automatically transmitted this basic information into his mind. He recalled that on the movie poster, the first two names in the cast list were "Yang He" and "Tang Hailan"; could they be their real names
At this moment, Kang Xueyan turned her head completely, allowing Ye to clearly see her face, which was indeed that of a remarkably beautiful woman. Could it be that such a visage qualifies her to be the leading actress in a film? Meanwhile, the male lead, Luo Haosheng, also spoke up with a smile: "Our parents have already met each other, and I believe that after graduation, we can hold the wedding very soon"
In that instant, everything before his eyes suddenly went dark
Yet during the process, a vast amount of information surged into his mind like a tidal wave. This was all information that did not exist in his memory; now, it seemed to be generated automatically in his mind as if it were input data.
Ye wanted to immediately adjust his mood; the intense fear of death compelled him to calm down. He had to enter a performance state at once! He had no doubt about the terror of this cinema; if he did not want to die, he had to continue performing!
There hasn't been much fun these past couple of days. At this moment, Zhang Nianzhu spoke up, and it was evident that he appeared quite flustered while speaking. His delivery lacked any emotion, resembling merely the recitation of lines from a book. From this, Ye could completely ascertain that Zhang Nianzhu, like himself, was a novice actor. Did he, too, experience the same kind of terror as he did?
Subsequently, he began to organize the information in his mind
This piece of paper turned out to be a movie poster! On that poster, there was indeed a bus, and the background was quite dark, with countless ghostly figures faintly visible! The poster also featured four blood-red characters: "Horror Bus," and below it was a detailed cast list. Initially, Ye Xiang thought it was a promotional poster for a newly released horror film, but in the next moment, he was astonished to see that a position in the cast list had suddenly been left empty, and then his name, "Ye Xiang," appeared above it!
His body was continuously sawed open, with his arms falling off first, followed by a copious amount of blood gushing out, splattering onto his face; that warm blood provided him with a tangible sense of reality
At this moment, Jiang Youlin, sitting across from him, also began to speak. Of course, Ye Xiang, who always had a clear script in his mind, knew exactly what she would say.
At this moment, the male protagonist Luo Haosheng in front spoke up, of course, he was delivering his lines
At that time, during the night, many people were deep in sleep, while the male protagonist, Luo Haosheng, was awakened from a nightmare. The nightmare he experienced involved a bloodied driver who kept shaking his body! Upon waking, he saw that the driver was indeed dead in the driver's seat! At that moment, it was exactly midnight, marking the end of the first act. The subsequent script had not been revealed, so Ye Xiang was unaware of what followed. At that moment, it was exactly midnight, marking the end of the first act. The subsequent script had not been revealed, so Ye Xiang was unaware of what followed
Then, if it is set in the script that one will die, one will certainly die, and there is no way to change it
At this moment, he did not even dare to let out a single scream. The terrifying scene he had just witnessed had completely shattered his composure. Even someone with the best psychological resilience would be driven to despair upon seeing their own corpse being dismembered while remaining fully conscious and alive. Anyone would likely break down, wouldn't they? Logically, he should have felt an overwhelming sense of nausea, yet at this moment, he felt no urge to vomit at all, only a profound sense of tightness in his chest
At this moment, he looked at the driver's seat, feeling great sympathy for the actor playing the role of the driver. Judging from the importance of his position as the driver, he must be an experienced actor; otherwise, if he were a newcomer, sitting in the driver's seat without knowing how to drive or becoming flustered would naturally render the subsequent scenes unnecessary.
Next to Ye Xiang was a young man with a flat-top haircut, whose character name was Zhang Nianzhou, also one of the supporting characters in this film. In the movie, he shares a close friendship with Xia Yun, the character played by Ye Xiang. Two other university students accompanied them, seated in the adjacent two seats, one male and one female. The male was a young man with a small mustache, while the female was a quite beautiful woman with curly hair. Their character names were Du Yan and Jiang Youlin.

Well... how should I put it? It is quite different from what is described in the travel guide. At this moment, Ye's tone began to stabilize as he spoke his lines. He also realized that fear does not solve problems. If survival is the goal, one must adhere to these rules. Fortunately, their path to survival has not been completely cut off, and being able to foresee the upcoming plot is also a significant advantage! In any case, the priority is to survive in this so-called real horror movie before considering anything else! If survival is the goal, one must adhere to these rules.
