Chapter 55 I am an actor
Chapter 55 I am an actor
My name is Xu Lin. I’m an actor and also a teacher in the acting department.
Today, I am teaching a class for students in the acting class. Everything goes smoothly at first. The situational drama in class can test every student's real talent, including on-the-spot reaction, stage movements, body language, facial expression control and lines. Everything is going according to plan until one student suddenly goes crazy and starts killing people while performing the situational drama.
I once thought that it would be the most terrifying and desperate scene I had ever seen in my life, but after that I found that the scene at that time was nothing compared to what I experienced afterwards and was not worth mentioning.
The boy's eyes were bloodshot and his muscles bulged, like the bodybuilders on TV. His eyes were fierce, and the fangs in his mouth and the constant growls in his throat made him look like a wild beast.
Several boys tried to stop it together, but they failed.
Blood splattered on my face.
I was terrified at the time.
My mind is blank, I can't think of anything.
Soon, the other party found me.
As expected, I was killed, and I am quite sure that I was incontinent at the time.
But when I woke up again, I found that time had gone back to an earlier time in the day.
For a very short moment, I couldn't tell whether it was a nightmare or a reality that had happened.
If this is reality, then all this is too absurd and weird; and if this is a nightmare, why can't I wake up?
The funny thing is that after I went through a lot of suffering and torture and finally found an answer, my first reaction was not relief, but that I was crazy.
How can there be such a thing as the Day of Imprisonment?
How can there be a person who can collect memories?
There are also the bloody and second-rate amnesiacs and cards
Haha, they are all a bunch of brain-sick idiots.
The funny thing is, I was one of them.
At that moment, I really thought I was crazy, or rather, I hoped that I was crazy, at least in that case, I was still in a normal world.
But the cruel, bloody and cold reality almost cured my self-righteousness and unrealistic fantasies.
And this process is happening faster than any of you can imagine.
By the way, I have made another discovery. Human potential is really huge. Those who used to blame their studies on reasons like "it's too difficult" or "stupidity" simply did not exist during the days of confinement. If such people really exist, I can guarantee that they will have only one ending.
Die in pain and despair, and then become amnesiac.
I learned how to survive in this terrible world. To stay alive, I must lie and kill.
Fortunately, I have a strong talent for acting. When I lie to others, even I believe everything I say.
This may be my only comfort in this sad world.
At least I have something to show for it.
All I can do is live in fear and caution, struggling in this world that seems normal but is actually full of blood and weirdness. It seems that there is no hope forever.
And one day, my lie was exposed by someone on the spot.
The man's eyes seemed to be saying that no one could deceive him.
"From a relatively scientific perspective, although the dead can be resurrected on each day of the imprisonment cycle, the definition of 'alive' during the imprisonment days is completely different from what people used to know. Here, life refers to memory. If you lose your 'memory', you are actually dead. Even if you become a memory regainer later, it does not mean the resurrection of your former self, but the birth of a brand new life."
Xu Lin felt that this sentence made a lot of sense, and was even full of philosophy.
Sadly, that's not what she said.
This was said by the man, the one who easily saw through her lies.
This man is the most terrifying person Xu Lin has ever met.
One day, she and the other party accidentally met in a certain scene. The level of the scene was "Yin Yang Four", which was extremely dangerous. It could be said that it was the most terrifying, strange and dangerous one among the several scenes she had experienced.
Several powerful and experienced recall masters she knew died in there. Just when she thought she would die here as well, that man actually "passed the level" in a way that she still couldn't understand.
She was able to hitch a ride and survived.
The man is several years younger than her.
His name is Luo Xi.
This is a very special person.
Although he is young, he is much more mature and serious than the professors in the school.
In fact, Xu Lin had never heard Luo Xi say even a word of nonsense.
As for jokes or anything like that, there was none. This man was cold and rigorous, and when he was focused on something, he was like a ruthless machine.
But this kind of coldness and almost inhuman concentration and rigor brought her an unimaginable feeling.
sense of security.
At that time, Luo Xi had a lot of helpers around him, but in Xu Lin's view, these people were actually Luo Xi's subordinates, or even pawns.
including herself.
But Xu Lin knew that she was different from other chess pieces.
She is the 'dark piece'.
This was not her self-perception or self-positioning, but something Luo Xi had told her clearly.
"If you want to follow me, you must listen to me. No matter what I ask you to do, no matter how unreasonable, unbelievable, or embarrassing it is, you must do it without hesitation and do it well. If you can do it, you can follow me. If you can't, it means you are unqualified and I can only ask you to leave."
She remembered what Luo Xi said to her alone that night.
Xu Lin did not hesitate too much and immediately expressed her position.
"I can do it."
That was her answer.
She is already 32 years old, and is no longer at the age where she is pretentious and ambitious.
What she wanted was something very practical.
Survival, security and hope.
Of these three things, she could only barely get the first one by her own strength, or in other words, it depended on luck. If the scene she entered was very difficult, she would almost certainly die.
But Luo Xi can give her these three things.
Therefore, Xu Lin willingly became Luo Xi's "hidden man".
The things I did for him were all shameful and could not be known to others.
Xu Lin is not stupid either. She knows very well that what she has done will eventually backfire on her.
He even swallowed her until not even a bone was left.
But she had no choice.
In other words, this was the path she had chosen after foreseeing the future, so even if this path led to hell, she had no choice but to continue on.
Until one day, Luo Xi found her and gave her an incredible task.
"My name is Xu Lin, and I'm an actor!"
As "Mom" spoke, her appearance began to change, as if there was some strange film on her face, which was changing automatically at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the face that Luo Xi was very familiar with, to a woman who looked very young, beautiful and extremely intellectual.
Luo Xi looked at this 'resurrecting man' in some surprise. At this moment, he was enduring horrible negative emotions, pain and weird whispers of insanity, which were like countless blades and thorns, constantly tearing and cutting in his mental realm. Any normal person, or even those who had received rigorous training, would not be able to withstand this mental shock that was almost like a landslide or tsunami.
They will immediately turn into violent maniacs and regard killing as a panacea to relieve their pain.
However, Luo Xi is not a normal person.
He is a madman himself, a madman who can suppress countless horrible personalities in his spiritual world when he is not taking medicine.
In other words, he is the final winner among those terrifying and crazy personalities.
As a winner, he naturally has his own special qualities.
For example, under the state of 'absolute rationality', even if he ate the 'poison' that triggered the transformation of a cleaner, Luo Xi could suppress the massive amount of crazy thoughts in his brain, and still let his consciousness take the lead, controlling his body that was about to be destroyed.
At this time, Luo Xi stared at Xu Lin opposite him, grinned, and revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and decay.
"You can transform into someone else's appearance. Oh, is that a feature of the card book? Oh, that's very interesting. Then, who sent you here?"
Xu Lin was under great pressure at this time, but she still tried her best to control her emotions that were about to collapse, and said, "It was you, Luo Xi, who sent me to carry out this mission!"
