Chapter 4, Planning and Mutation

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Ye could only think about these matters, unable to discuss them with anyone. One cannot engage in discussions about the Hell Cinema while watching a horror film; one must fully immerse oneself in the role, and this is the first principle. Frankly speaking, in this regard, his current behavior is quite abnormal. As Xia Yun, he was merely supposed to descend the mountain after his car broke down, yet he remained here, which naturally appeared very unusual. However, he had no choice; continuing onward would result in an increasingly severe deduction of his death coupon.

At that moment, the Sichuan man patted Ye Xiang's shoulder and said, "Little brother, no matter what, having you all by my side is enough."

Ye suddenly realized this. There were all men here, and as a woman, she naturally could not relieve herself in public. However, he still looked at his wife's back and said, "Don't go too far!"

"Then... let's sit for a while longer," Ye could only say with a forced smile.

Are we not going to continue walking? At that moment, the Sichuan man suddenly said: Isn't the break time long enough?

As for the young man in the duckbill cap, he sat quietly curled up in a corner, not uttering a word

This sentence is also meant to encourage Zhang Nianzhu. Given the circumstances, there is no way to escape; only by uniting as one can they overcome this difficult challenge. For him, to survive, these people are naturally his companions. Sharing the same suffering, they must join hands, seeking only to survive this horror film

But upon reflection, perhaps it is a great release, or maybe women's nature is ultimately shy... or could it be that they simply do not believe they are in the world of a horror film and directly flee down the mountain to seek help

It is likely that everyone is afraid that speaking their lines will result in a deduction of their redemption tickets, which is why they are hesitant to speak up.

Then the husband said: "I... my wife needs to go to the restroom"

Where is that wife, why hasn't she returned yet... I already said not to let her go too far...

Ye was even thinking, could it be that he left the bus too early? Before the driver died at midnight, no character had yet met their demise. He could have acted on impulse, perhaps uncovering new clues. However, it is too late to regret now; the death voucher has already been deducted. If he were to go back now, wouldn't it be quite unjust?

Meanwhile, Du Yan beside him kept looking around, and at the same time, he took out his mobile phone in an attempt to make a call, but it seemed that there was no signal, and he could not get through.

Mr. Jiang," Ye hurriedly asked Jiang Yi: "Where is your wife? Why hasn't she returned yet?"

Zhang Nianzhou trembled slightly at his grip, and after a long pause, finally said: "I ... I ... I ... I ..."

Next, Du Yan also mentioned his name. The only one who remained silent was the young man in the duckbill cap. The young man in the duckbill cap coldly replied: "Liu An." and then said no more.

After exchanging names, although Ye Xiang knew that this was not the real name, he still felt a bit closer to everyone. ... As he was about to talk more with everyone, he suddenly thought of ...

We have been on the bus for too long, and it feels a bit uncomfortable to walk after this while. Ye tried to make their stay here seem reasonable in order to avoid crossing the bottom line of the plot, even though he himself felt very reluctant.

If Ye Xiangxin thinks about it, what will happen if your death redemption ticket is exhausted? However, sitting here like this is indeed unreasonable; just now, I haven't walked much, at most a little over 1 kilometer. From an adult's perspective, it is far from the point where rest is necessary. According to the information in my mind, once a certain bottom line of the plot is touched, it will automatically result in a NG (no good). However, there is no clear standard for what that specific bottom line is. One thing is certain: even if an actor uses a death redemption ticket to change the script's actions, they must still act reasonably according to the character itself. If you are playing an illiterate person, you cannot read; if you are playing a cheerful person, you cannot be gloomy and taciturn all day. If this continues, it will indeed increasingly deviate from the character's normal actions.

If this continues, it will indeed increasingly deviate from the character's normal actions.

At this moment, for Ye Xiang, his primary concern is naturally how to preserve his life, and secondly, whether there is a way to obtain additional redemption tickets for his life, based on the premise of ensuring his survival

Let's go, we will find her

Continuing, Ye wanted to know if he should say more to let everyone know that speaking at this moment would no longer incur a penalty of losing a redemption ticket. He then continued, "Everyone, please speak up; it's quite stifling and the atmosphere is very tense."

He was clearly stunned with fear. In contrast, the Sichuan man appeared much more open-minded; although his expression also revealed a great deal of fear, at least his performance seemed very natural

The lives of people are of utmost importance! Ye began to recall the countless ghostly figures that flickered in and out of visibility on the movie poster of "Horror Bus," and he started to feel a shiver of trepidation in his heart

Currently, the information regarding how to obtain additional redemption tickets is rather vague. However, Ye can generally conclude that the longer one lives, the more redemption tickets will inevitably increase. Redemption tickets seem to be closely related to the character's screen time; since the protagonist dies last, it follows that their redemption tickets, as part of their compensation, are the highest. Of course, it is still difficult to make a specific judgment. Therefore, it should be correct that living longer leads to an increase in redemption tickets. ...

What if someone who is supposed to die according to the script is saved? If that person is rescued, will there be more additional redemption tickets added?

Then, he looked towards Zhang Nianzhu, held his hand, and said, "Don't worry, we are all together; there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

His expression showed a hint of astonishment, and he immediately looked in the direction where his wife had gone.

Then... it is the question he considers, whether it is possible to obtain more redemption tickets. Redemption tickets are related to whether one can act outside the control of the script in a horror film, and ultimately whether one can return to the real world. If 10,000 redemption tickets are not submitted, one must forever shoot one horror film after another, endlessly. Moreover, the so-called horror films will definitely not be science fiction films like Resident Evil or Alien, where one can survive by killing monsters with guns and ammunition, nor will there be bloody films like Friday the 13th or Saw, which feature only human killers without ghosts. If 10,000 redemption tickets are not submitted, one must forever shoot one horror film after another, endlessly. Furthermore, there will be no remakes of well-known films from the real world such as The Ring or Ju-on, which have familiar plots. Over time, how could a flesh-and-blood person rely on luck to survive time and again? Therefore, no matter what, accumulating redemption tickets to leave the world of horror films is naturally the most important thing.

Ye sighed in relief, as everyone remembered not to use their real names but rather the names of the characters they were portraying. Otherwise, it would have been an immediate NG. He then spoke up: "My name is Xia Yun"

What should be done next

Ye is, after all, an ordinary person. It is already quite difficult for him to remain calm in such a sudden environment, and expecting him to consider every aspect is asking too much. His first thought at that moment was to distance himself from the bus, and he did not have time to think about anything else. In fact, the severity of the deduction for the death bond was somewhat beyond his expectations

The Sichuan man then said, "Well, that's true. Why don't we all introduce ourselves? My name is Zhang Dekun"

Therefore, horror films must retain a means of survival. Ye Xiang's initial approach is to stay away from the bus, but this process does not guarantee safety. In horror films, those haunted by ghosts have no chance of survival, no matter where they go. Whether merely increasing the distance can ensure survival is indeed quite difficult to say. However, regardless, one must always try. Whether merely increasing the distance can ensure survival is indeed quite difficult to say. However, regardless, one must always try

Under the glow of the night, everything is exceedingly tranquil. However, each person breathes heavily, their hearts filled with melancholy

At this moment, Zhang Nianzhu seemed to regain some courage and said, "I... I... I am Zhang Nianzhu"

Thus, upon analysis, it can be explained that the so-called hell cinema is indeed intended for them to produce a horror film, rather than to torture them to death in a terrifying environment. The absence of an unsolvable horror film like "Ju-on" implies that there is a chance for survival. Naturally, horror films have audiences; however, who the audience of this so-called hell cinema is remains unknown. Yet, since there is an audience, it follows that they must struggle to survive. Otherwise, the rule of providing a death redemption ticket would not exist.

These individuals may include seasoned professionals or complete novices. Regardless, the current information is still too limited

The young couple is nestled together, and it is likely that they are a couple in real life. They are referred to as husband and wife mainly because both are wearing wedding rings. However, upon entering this horror film world, their clothing undergoes a significant transformation. For instance, when Ye intended to enter, he was dressed in work attire, but once he stepped into this place, his clothes changed to casual wear. Naturally, his original belongings such as wallet, phone, and keys were no longer with him. Therefore, it is probable that the wedding rings on this couple's hands were also acquired only after entering this realm.

Ye wanted to wave his hand to stop it, but it was already too late. The husband rubbed his hands together, looked around, and probably felt reassured seeing everyone engaged in conversation, so he spoke up: "My name is Jiang Yi"

A feeling of unease begins to rise in my heart

Zhang Nianzhou is certainly not his real name, and given his nervousness, it is possible that he has momentarily forgotten the character's name

He then realized that although these were no longer lines from the script, speaking them did not deduct from the redemption ticket. Perhaps it was because, in comparison to the grand actions he took to alter the plot, a few lines of dialogue were inconsequential in terms of deductions.

Ye contemplated in her heart, and then began to devise what to do next

Since that is the case, it is also good to talk to others. Otherwise, if one keeps everything bottled up, the more one resembles fear.

Where did she go? Ye wanted to ask anxiously, this is the world of horror films, how can one wander alone?

At present, he has completely and calmly interpreted all the additional information in his mind. The so-called "Hell Cinema" must be an existence that transcends his imagination, one that cannot be explained by modern science. Such a terrifying curse has the power to easily thrust a person into a new world to shoot a horror film; what could be the purpose of this? In any case, he believes it is not to torture him. If the intention were to torture, it would have been sufficient to have him truly die in a dismembered state before; there would be no need to have him come back to shoot any real horror film.

At that moment, the wife of the young couple suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, leaned in to whisper something in her husband's ear, and he nodded in response. Consequently, she stood up and walked away
