Chapter 218: The Horror Movie Begins!
Seeing Lin Yu's smiling face, Third Master trembled, then immediately forced a smile and said, "Yes, you're right. I went too far. I deserve to die!"
As he spoke, Third Master slapped himself a few times, hitting the wound on his face, which immediately caused blood to flow freely, making him look extremely terrifying.
"Okay, good to know. Now you can start introducing yourselves."
Lin Yu wasn't surprised by the bald, burly man's reaction; truly fearless desperados wouldn't behave like this.
"Yes, my name is Zhang San, people in the underworld call me Third Master, I'm unemployed, I occasionally do some low-risk business, people can just call me Little San."
The bald, burly man immediately introduced himself, saying that compared to before, he was now quite humble.
The remaining four people, besides Cheng Xiao, consisted of two men and one woman. One of the men was a bespectacled white-collar worker, another was a child around ten years old, and the woman was a beautiful woman with dyed blonde hair, wearing a long dress.
The white-collar bespectacled man immediately began to introduce himself after the bald, burly man introduced himself.
"My name is Gao Hongliang, and I'm a computer programmer. I'm very confident in my computer programming skills. Uh, I hope to join your team, no, even just as a reserve member would be fine. I have no other requests, I just hope—"
Before the bespectacled man could say anything more, Zheng Zha found it a bit long-winded and waved him off. The man immediately stood quietly beside Zheng Zha and the others, as if he had met a boss. He really did look like a mid-level white-collar worker in the company.
"My name is Cheng Xiao, I'm 21 years old. I'm unmarried, and I'm a very down-on-his-luck descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I'd say I'm a part-time doctor."
"Cheng Xiao said somewhat lazily.
Zheng Zha gave Cheng Xiao a deep look. Although his True Qi cultivation was not as good as Lin Yu's, he could still sense Cheng Xiao's special qualities. However, he did not know that Cheng Xiao was also cultivating True Qi.
"My name is Xiao Honglu, I am twelve years old, I live in a mental hospital and am being studied. I have a strong sense of premonition—I believe what you say."
After Cheng Xiao finished introducing himself, the little boy spoke up, but his demeanor was not like that of a child; he was rather overly calm.
After all the newcomers had been introduced, only the woman remained, so everyone looked at her.
"No, don't abandon me—I'm Qin Zhuiyu, a movie star! Haven't you all seen my movies? I, I'm best at—that's right, I'm a great actress, and I sing really well too, boohoo—please don't abandon me—"
Perhaps frightened by Lin Yu's shooting, the movie star started crying as he spoke.
Seeing this, Zhan Lan immediately went over to comfort her. At the same time, the front door of the house was suddenly flung open, which undoubtedly meant that the horror movie had officially begun!
After the gate opened, three jailers walked in, grabbed the protagonist O'Connor, and pulled him out without even glancing at anyone else, and didn't even close the prison gate.
"The horror movie has already started, what should these newcomers do?"
Zheng Zha scratched his head and said.
In other horror movies, it's okay to let newcomers follow along, but this is a team battle, so it would be too conspicuous for newcomers to follow them.
"The best solution is to cut off all five of their limbs and leave them here. When facing another team's attack, we can't afford to worry about new recruits who have no fighting ability—this is the most rational approach."
Zhao Yingkong glanced at Lin Yu and offered the most rational solution.
However, she didn't think Lin Yu would use this method. After all, Lin Yu's behavior just now clearly indicated that he was planning something and needed new people.
"Let's take them with us for now. The Indian team won't arrive for another three days anyway, we'll deal with that then."
Lin Yu spoke up.
"That's all for now."
Zheng Zha didn't actually want to use Zhao Yingkong's plan either. Although he didn't think Lin Yu was pitying the newcomer, he could only ask about the specifics later.
Will the plot of a horror movie change? For example, will the main character die?
The little boy, Xiao Honglu, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
Why do you ask that?
Zheng Zha felt from the beginning that this little boy was unusual, and hearing him ask this question only reinforced that feeling.
"In the original story, the male protagonist O'Connor was saved by the female protagonist at the last second. He might have died if he had been a few seconds later. If the plot of the horror movie is changed, the female protagonist might not have been able to save him in time."
The group exchanged glances, confirming that the little boy, Xiao Honglu, was exceptionally clever, having come up with this idea.
Lin Yu also looked at Xiao Honglu with great interest.
Although many readers felt that Xiao Honglu was not a wise man and made too many outrageous moves before his transmigration, it can be seen from many places that Xiao Honglu was actually quite intelligent. It's just that he was too young and immature, and no one stopped him, which is why he made so many outrageous moves.
With proper nurturing, Xiao Honglu could become a remarkable wise man.
"Your concerns are valid; horror movies hold endless possibilities... We need to go check it out."
As Zheng Zha spoke, he strode out of the house.
"If you're going to run, you'll have to hold me while you run, otherwise I won't be able to keep up."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Honglu immediately spoke up.
He's only twelve years old, so he can't keep up with the speed of an adult.
Zhang Jie picked Xiao Honglu up and asked, "Have you seen this movie? Do mental hospitals show movies?"
"It's a mental hospital, not a mental hospital—we also have normal recreational activities."
Zheng Zha ran to Zhang Jie's side and asked, "Didn't you say you had precognitive abilities? Could you foresee those things? The future or—"
He hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Honglu's initial self-introduction, after all, he was just a kid, maybe a bit immature. But judging from his performance now, it was no longer just immature.
"Death! I can sense death coming—don't worry, if any of you are going to die, I will definitely tell him in advance." Xiao Honglu sneered. He plucked a hair, then placed it on his fingertip and blew on it gently. The hair disappeared without a trace.
Just then, a commotion arose ahead. A group of prisoners were gathering in the corridor. Outside the corridor was a large square, which was enclosed by a semi-circular corridor. In the center of the square stood a wooden gallows, and the person standing on the gallows was none other than O'Connor, who had just been taken away.
"Zero Hour, you still have that silenced pistol, right? How confident are you in sniping through the gallows from here?"
"No problem, I can see everything in that direction very clearly now—if it's just a rope, I can snipe it without alerting anyone."
Zero answered.
Even when he was just an ordinary person, he could do this very easily. Now, he can do it easily even with his eyes closed.
