And let no one retire well

||Jinjiang Literature City Exclusive Release||

Su Shiyin grabbed the red string hanging around his neck, and pulled the jade pendant out from the neckline.

When seeing the jade pendant, Su Shiyin was slightly stunned.

Because at this time, a faint crack had appeared on the jade pendant for some reason, and the position of that crack happened to be on the side of the neck of the Bodhisattva statue.

At this time, the Bodhisattva statue also seemed to have lost the lifelike feeling it had seen before, and just turned into an ordinary statue.

Such a coincidence reminded Su Shiyin of the jade pendant that inexplicably appeared in his pocket and then disappeared. The Bodhisattva on it was also "beheaded" by such a crack.

He also took off the jade pendant yesterday when he took a bath, and he can be sure that there was no sign of any cracks on the jade pendant at that time, and Su Shiyin did not accidentally bump the jade pendant, so it can basically be ruled out that it was caused by human factors. Cracked.

When all the phenomena are coincidentally just right, it is not a coincidence, but an inevitability.

Su Shiyin stroked the smooth surface of the jade lightly. The jade was broken, so he couldn't wear it, which he felt a bit pity.

It's just... what kind of intentions does Baihou Tiwu, who gave this jade pendant to him, have in mind?

Is there any connection between him and the last jade pendant?Does he know that this jade pendant has some kind of magical ability?

Su Shiyin took out his phone while thinking about it.

He was going to send a message to Bohou Tiwu, asking when the next meeting would be.

No matter what the reason is, he'd better get in touch with Baihou Tiwuduo. There are more than that hidden secrets in this man.

At the same time, in the old house of Bo Hou's family, it is not known whether it is due to poor lighting design and the shade of trees outside, so that the light of this mansion is very dim during the day.

The area of ​​this house is huge, and it stands to reason that many Filipino maids need to maintain it on a daily basis, but there is no living person, nor can I feel the breath of any living person.

Except—the paper figures with expressionless faces are lined up by the wall like guards. They are male and female, tall, short, fat and thin. The delicate facial features are drawn with ink on the snow-white paper, the blush is painted with cinnabar, and they are wearing Exquisite paper clothes, almost to the extent that it can be confused with the real one.

Tranquility and coldness are the main tone lingering in this ancient house until——

A bright light suddenly appeared from somewhere, accompanied by a crisp "ding dong".

In an instant, all the paper figurines lined up in the corner turned their heads and turned to the direction where the sound came from.

If there was an ordinary person here at this moment, he would be scared out of his wits by this scene and run away.

The paper people silently looked at the culprit of the noise - a mobile phone. After a long while, a small paper man finally moved.

It moved its lower limbs and "walked" over, and it didn't know how it held up the phone with the hand made of paper. It seemed a little hesitant, and finally it took the phone together and walked towards a door deep in the mansion.

"Master! You received a text message on your mobile phone, it belongs to Lord Su Shiyin!" Then the small paper figurine made a crisp sound. I thought it was a seven or eight-year-old girl talking.

Not long after she finished speaking, the door in front of her opened automatically, and a hoarse voice came from inside:

"Come in."

The paper figurine in the shape of a little girl walked in with her mobile phone in her hand. The light in the bedroom was darker than that in the main house. midnight.

In the bedroom, there were no other decorations except for a large bed. The occupant of the bed had already sat up, his long silver hair was scattered on the bed, his coat was wide open, revealing a large pale chest.

Bai Houtiwu leaned against the head of the bed, his whole body was white except for his eyes, which formed a strong contrast with the black silk quilt, and even in such a dark environment, his red eyes seemed to be glowing.

Seeing this scene, the little paper figurine lowered her head shyly. She ran to the bed with small steps and handed over the phone.

Baihou Tiwu actually woke up when the restraint on the jade pendant was triggered. He used an unskilled technique and paused after seeing the message sent by Su Shiyin.

Su Shiyin asked him when they could meet.

The head of the paper figurine was tilted to the side, and she seemed to see the owner smiled subconsciously.

Bai Hou Tiwu typed slowly and replied: I will see you in two days.

Soon Su Shiyin replied: Are you all right?

Thinking that Su Shiyin might be waiting for news from him on the opposite side of the phone, Bai Houtiwu's mood improved for no reason. He turned to the paper figurine next to him and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

The paper figurine thought for a while and replied, "It's been... about three days?"

Bai Hou Tiwu nodded, no wonder he felt that his strength had not fully recovered.

But for a creature like a ghost, as long as it doesn't lose its soul, it's fine, so Bai Houtiwu replied: It's all right.

After chatting with Su Shiyin, Bai Houtiwu put down his phone and fell into deep thought.

This world is in the age of doom, and the likes of gods and ghosts have basically disappeared. He can't absorb spiritual energy, and he doesn't kill living people to absorb nutrients like ordinary ghosts, so the speed of recovery is naturally much slower.

It's just... It's only been three days, and his restraint has been activated.

According to his observation, although the world lacks aura, it is relatively peaceful, and Su Shiyin's country has established relatively sound laws, so it is generally not in danger.

And his restriction is not an ordinary thing, it will only be touched when it feels the attack of a special existence.

Counting the previous one... the time between the two triggers did not exceed a month, which is really too frequent.

This world is indeed a bit strange, which always makes Bai Houtiwu feel a vague sense of disobedience.

Just to be on the safe side, he gave Su Shiyin the jade pendant that could play a protective role, but there are really no good materials in this world, and the material for making jade pendants will break after being exposed to it at least once.

At this time, with Baihou Tiwu's awakening, the large and small paper figurines in the mansion also started to move, and began to clean and tidy up the house.

Bohou Tiwu's subordinates in the original world were too weak to follow, so the souls of the paper dolls in the house are the souls of people who died unexpectedly in this world but wanted to stay unwillingly.

However, in the end of the Dharma era, the way of heaven has fallen, and ghosts are no longer born naturally in the world. After the death of creatures, the souls dissipate quickly.

Therefore, when Baihou Tiwu was asleep, the supply of ghost energy decreased, and the ghost servants relatively entered a dormant state.

In fact, it is very easy to work under Bai Hou Tiwu, because he is not as bloodthirsty as other ghost kings or ghosts, and he is not interested in torture. affiliated companies to work.

That's why the ghost servants are very loyal to Bai Houtiwu, after all, he gave them a second "life", and many of them who died in vain also got a chance to take revenge.

So after discovering that Bo Hou Tiwu was very interested in Su Shiyin, the ghost servants were eager to make an assist. If they followed their master's own pace, they would never know that the Year of the Monkey would make things happen! !

... It's a pity that Baihou Tiwu never allowed the ghost servants to expose themselves, nor did they allow them to get in touch with Su Shiyin too much.

Just like catching a ghost.

***

Su Jin has been extremely unlucky during this time.

It was so unlucky that people around couldn't help suggesting that he go to the temple to pray after seeing him, but Su Jin knew that this problem could not be solved by going to worship.

Because this bad luck is the price he paid to offset the original punishment, and only after a month can his life return to normal.

Fortunately, the bad luck didn't affect Su Jin's career too much. His current state is that outsiders don't know his background, but people in the entertainment industry basically know that the Su family is praising him.

Under profitable circumstances, resources and cooperation will naturally follow one after another, and today Su Jin got the last opportunity since his debut.

His agent asked him to audition for Zhou Ze's new movie.

When hearing this news, Su Jin's heart almost jumped out, even though he only auditioned for a small role that might appear for less than five seconds, but...that was Zhou Ze! ! !

Zhou Ze is a legend in the entertainment industry. He suddenly parachuted into the entertainment industry a year ago, and then produced three movies at an astonishing speed, and each of them was a phenomenal hit. He even won an Oscar for Best Director.

Even if it is a commercial film, Zhou Ze can dig out the dark lines and depths hidden behind the plot with relish. There are a group of his enthusiastic fans on the Internet, who are familiar with every clip in his movies.

Zhou Ze doesn't look at the background and fame when choosing actors, but only whether they are suitable for the role and whether they can perform well.

This also led to the fact that some people, who are also unknown, made great achievements after appearing in his movies, while others disappeared as quickly as the fleeting fireworks.

The manager just wanted Su Jin to try his luck. He has many contacts and he has already asked his friends to find out that the script of the movie that Zhou Ze wants to make this time has something to do with his past.

The manager can already predict how excited those people who are extremely curious about Zhou Ze's past will be when the movie comes out.

On the day of the audition, Su Jin was taken to the audition venue by her manager. Su Jin was a little nervous and dared not make any unnecessary movements, for fear that she would be unlucky again.

The last time he was unlucky, he fell flat and almost broke his nose bone.

The audition hall was almost full of people. Su Jin saw a few top stars here. After the number plates were called one by one, he walked into the audition room and saw Zhou Ze's appearance for the first time.

He's an unusually young man, probably not yet 25, which doesn't seem too surprising considering he's become one of the country's best-known directors in just two years.

The most important thing is that when Su Jin saw him for the first time, the system popped up a prompt——

【The Son of Destiny Has Appeared】

Su Jin: ... If I remember correctly, this seems to be the third one? ?

Is there too much Destiny Child in this world? ? ? ?

At first, Su Jin thought that the name of Destiny's Son was related to the protagonist, but neither Bai Xiaorong nor Yu Ruoyang appeared in the plot.

He asked the system, and the system just said that the so-called Son of Destiny is the darling of heaven who has inherited the fortune of heaven.

If it was before, seeing the Son of Destiny appearing, Su Jin might still feel that he is gearing up and eager to try, but now he is really a little bit better.

Bai Xiaorong didn't even make a fuss when he saw him, and Yu Ruoyang even helped Su Shiyin slap himself in the face in public.

But right now, Zhou Ze...he should have nothing to do with Su Shiyin, right?

You must know that Su Shiyin has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, whether it is now or in the original plot.

While Su Jin was thinking, he looked at the fragment of the script that he had sent to him. In order to prevent cheating, the audition actors were only obtained temporarily, but when he saw the content written on the script, he was stunned.

Is it his hallucination, why is there a character's name in it... called Su Shiyin? ? ?

Su Jin's heart suddenly felt a little nervous, as if he found a worm in a delicious dish when he tasted it. He reluctantly comforted himself that it should be just a coincidence. It's not a strange thing to have the same name in Huaguo. There are many Everyone's name is Su Shiyin.

While Su Jin was trying to memorize the script, Zhou Ze was sitting on a chair with one leg raised, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and looking down at the content intently.

With his appearance, he might be regarded as looking at some important news, but if someone can see the interface of his mobile phone, they will be surprised to find that he is only looking at the interface of a marketing account.

It was an ordinary marketing account with only a few dozen or so thousands of fans, and the news it sent was scattered, most of which were hearsay and entertainment news, or some controversial news and current events. .

However, because I don't have a keen sense of heat, the manuscripts I write are nothing special. Except for some sensitive topics with traffic passwords, the likes, comments and forwarding data of each blog post of this marketing account are very bleak. Double digits, the fans should be buying zombie fans.

If it hadn't been accidentally pushed to his homepage, Zhou Ze wouldn't even know the existence of this marketing account.

And the news he read was a dispute in a local university carried by the marketing account. It mentioned that a student surnamed Liang from the Music Department of University A was jealous of a student surnamed Su from the same department. It is reported that this person tried to escape before being arrested, and now he is not only expelled from the school, but also faces jail time.

The accompanying picture is a screenshot from the internal campus forum of University A. The operation behind this marketing account is not very attentive, and they even forgot to type the name in the screenshot.

Zhou Ze fell into thought as he looked at the familiar name in the screenshot.

... Could it be him?

Or is it simply a duplication of names?

He was a little uncertain, with a sense of expectation in his heart, but also a little fear, worried that he might make a mistake.

He traveled all over Huaguo this year, but he still couldn't find the person he was looking for. He originally thought that if he became famous, the other party might take the initiative to notice him, but...

What if the other party is unwilling to see me, or even avoids me?

Or... In fact, he doesn't exist in this world at all?

Zhou Ze, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally stayed in this city. Finally, he decided to photograph his past.

If nothing else, this may be his last film.

If those people knew that Zhou Ze didn't plan to make a movie, they would think he was crazy!

You must know that no matter how legendary his experience is, he has only appeared for one year.

In the past two years alone, his achievements can beat many directors who have been around for more than ten years. It is hard to imagine how high Zhou Ze can reach if he is allowed to continue.

But to Zhou Ze, he just wanted to express that he was tired of it.

All the important achievements in the entertainment industry, including overseas ones, were all achieved by himself when he was in that world.

It's like you beat a game, get all the achievements, and then let you play it a second time, and you will easily lose interest.

The motivation behind Zhou Ze's filming was simply to know if Su Shiyin was here.

And now he had a dim but uncertain hope.

Feeling more and more confused, Zhou Ze found that he could not focus on the audition at all. The young man in front of him looked very weak, and his acting skills could not be noticed by Zhou Ze, who was used to seeing rough jade and drama.

Thinking that he would waste time on such a mediocre student, and that something might happen to that student who might be Su Shiyin, Zhou Ze felt that he couldn't stay any longer.

He stood up suddenly, bent the knuckles of his index finger and squeezed his temple:

"Sorry... the audition is over for the time being. I feel a little uncomfortable. Let's continue at another day."

Su Jin's performance was only halfway through, and he stared blankly at Zhou Ze, as if he thought he had heard something wrong.

The assistant director who accompanied him in the audition didn't say anything, just nodded to Su Jin: "Sorry, you didn't pass the audition, you can go back."

Su Jin couldn't believe it, he just started for 2 minutes, why didn't he pass? ! !

He felt that there must be something wrong, and for a moment, Su Jin even felt that he was plagued by Su Shiyin!

After all, every time Su Shiyin was involved, nothing good happened to him!

Su Jin, who blamed all the reasons on Su Shiyin, didn't think that most of the unlucky things were caused by his own death first, and he was extremely wronged now.

Yes, wronged.

In the Su family, even though his father is a person who puts his interests first, Su Chen always dotes on him. Even Su Di, who has a cold attitude towards him now, took good care of him in every possible way when he was in poor health when he was a child , to play with him.

But in the entertainment industry, even if they sell the Su family's face, everyone is at most a partner.

If you divide the cake, you will get less, and it is considered polite for strangers not to add insult to injury to you.

Su Jin still finds it difficult to adapt to such a gap. How can a person who has been used to enjoying being admired by stars since childhood accept it?

What's more, although the agent didn't say it clearly, his attitude also showed that Su Jin's abilities in all aspects are actually quite mediocre.

This made Su Jin's self-esteem once again the first.

Seeing that Zhou Ze got up and was about to walk outside with his long legs, Su Jin somehow got up his courage. He grabbed Zhou Ze by the corner of his clothes, then raised his head and looked at him with a stubborn expression. Said: "Director! My audition has just begun! Can you give me a chance, at least... at least let me finish the performance?"

The system secretly evaluated it, and felt that Su Jin is really a genius who knows nothing in this respect. It was not without reason that I chose to bind him in the first place: this little teary expression, this just-right gesture of raising his head... with According to the data it collects, many arrogant men like this set.

However, Zhou Ze was obviously not among them.

Zhou Ze, who was already upset, didn't even bother to pay attention to Su Jin's performance. He was in a hurry to leave, and he directly showed the skill of poisonous tongue that was always talked about by the media in his previous life:

"Do you want me to say clearly that your level is not good? Your movements are so stiff that you can't remember all your lines, and your expression is like that of a patient with facial paralysis. Oh, let me first say sorry to the patients with facial paralysis. I didn't mean to insult them. The fact can be seen in 2 minutes Why should I spend 5 minutes? Giving you 3 more minutes will not make your acting skills take a qualitative leap."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ze snorted softly: "You people who are so bad at acting that you have to come to audition to waste my time, really think I don't know what you are thinking? You just want to try your luck. Pie drop?"

"But I don't have any pies for you to pick up here. I really like to try my luck so much. I suggest buying a lottery ticket."

The place was silent.

Seeing the shocked look on the deputy director's face, Zhou Ze remembered that he hadn't had time to show his true character in this world because he was busy filming.

Well, based on his understanding, if it spreads out, it will probably be made a big fuss by those snarky reporters.

But Zhou Ze didn't care about these things at all, he pulled his clothes out of Su Jin's hand and left directly.

The assistant director came back to his senses, laughed dryly, and said to himself that it was fortunate that Zhou Ze didn't speak out in public.

Although what he said was the truth.

But the world of adults is so boring. Everyone knows the rules of the game, but you just have to keep it in your heart!

He was really worried that if Zhou Ze went on like this one day he would offend some big boss, and then he would be punished. After all, Zhou Ze really came from a grassroots background with no background...

Turning to Su Jin, the assistant director's tone couldn't help becoming a little gentle, and the unlucky boy directly bumped into Zhou Zemu's warehouse: "Well, you can go."

Su Jin lowered his head, his bangs blocked his expression, he clenched his hands tightly, and walked out in silence.

The manager who was waiting outside saw him and hurried up to greet him. Although he knew that Su Jin would probably not be able to pass, maybe Zhou Ze would go blind for a while?

Just about to go through a process and ask about the result, the manager suddenly stopped.

He felt...Su Jin's current appearance seemed a bit frightening.

Like a lurking poisonous snake, its poison is brewing.

Is... an illusion?

***

Zhou Ze's client investigated whether there was a student named Su Shiyin in University A, and the results came out quickly, with photos attached.

After seeing the photo, Zhou Ze's hands trembled slightly, and he drove there in person almost immediately.

Most people who work in literature and art have rich inner emotions, because they often need to pour their own cognition and thinking about the world into their works during the creative process, and Zhou Ze is one of the best.

But as an old hand, he thought that he had already been able to control his inner emotions proficiently, but at this moment he was unwilling and did not want to suppress it any longer.

It's just that I didn't expect to rush to nothing.

Because Su Shiyin had already been asked out by someone before him.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Yu Ruoyang: I don't understand, why that guy Bohou Tiwu has so many elites under him, all of them not only refuse to tell him, but also volunteer 007, this is unscientific! !

Ghost servant A who was so obsessed with introversion that he killed himself: Anyway, ghosts are idle when they don't sleep...I don't know what to do if I don't go to work.

Ghost servant B, the domineering president who was obsessed with work during his lifetime: Just working overtime to manage the company allows me to recall what it was like to be alive. Oops, I accidentally solved another competitor. It’s so cool (enjoy it.jpg)

Yu·Unknown Truth·Ruoyang: I don't believe it, how could someone like to work overtime!Bohou Tiwu must be an unscrupulous capitalist! !

Bohou Tiwu: What is 007?What is overtime?What is a capitalist? ?

Su Jin can't pretend anymore, and some people are going to be unlucky, but the scumbag author doesn't say x (although the scumbag author feels that it should be easy to guess?
