Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 17 The Murderer

July 22, 7:50 p.m.

Chu Yumeng, who had just received a takeaway and was preparing to work overtime, returned to her workstation and saw a group of friends in the mobile phone group calling her to go online and play the latest game.

She replied helplessly in the group.

[Black company: overtime. ]

“It’s so hard to work!”

Chu Yumeng slapped her cheek and sighed, looking at the empty company office, she became resentful.

I counted the tasks I had to complete tonight in my mind, and the more I counted, the angrier I became. I closed the office software and opened Sakura.com.

"I definitely won't be able to finish it before ten o'clock anyway. The director has already left work. I'll just watch a TV series and relax first."

Chu Yumeng quickly took out a few bags of snacks and drinks from the company's refrigerator, opened the takeaway box, and then prepared to find an episode of the electronic pickled mustard TV series on Sakura.com to eat with the meal.

Scroll down the website's TV drama hot search list from top to bottom.
"Gentle Breeze"?
Well, I watched an episode last week, about campus romance, and I wasn’t interested.

"The Body Collector", well, it's a horror drama that was launched on Sakura TV last quarter. It had a viewership rating of only 2% and a score of 5.8. It's obviously a bad drama.

"Sister-in-law's Temptation!", forget it, the 2.9 rating says it all. Oh my god, the number of views is so high, emm, it looks like there's something there, I'll save it first and watch it when I have the chance.

I scrolled down until I reached the top 30 on the hot search list, but I still didn’t see any dramas that interested me.

But she suddenly caught a glimpse.
"what?"

Chu Yumeng's mouse wheel is up.

The four big words "Rurouni Kenshin" and the promotional poster of the drama appeared in her eyes.

She was not interested in Rurouni or Kenshin.

The point is, the images of the male and female protagonists in this promotional poster really suit her aesthetic.

She admitted that she is a fan of appearance.

When I am working overtime and looking for electronic pickled mustard tubers for dinner, the most important thing is not whether the plot of a drama is good or not. The key point is whether the protagonist of the drama is good-looking and delicious.

"It's decided to be you." Chu Yumeng said with a smile.

Chu Yumeng clicked on the play page of Rurouni Kenshin, quickly paid through her account, and picked up the meal.

The first shot on the screen is the full moon and the starry sky.

The second shot shows a long sword piercing a woman's throat, with blood splattering everywhere.

At this moment, Chu Yumeng hadn't even taken her first bite of food.

"?" Chu Yumeng was confused.

The next scene was a massacre.

A group of thieves started slaughtering several powerless women and children.

When only three women and one child were left.

The child picked up the knife and stood in front of the woman with a look of fear on his face.

"Xin Tai, you are still young. You can't choose your future path like us, so you can't die now. You have to live and try your best to live."

"Xinta, live."

The woman behind the boy stood in front of the boy at the critical moment and took the sword that pierced his throat for him.

Chu Yumeng's eyes jumped.

This scene is so bloody, how can I eat?

In the end, the three women died tragically.
At the critical moment, when the man was about to die, a young man holding a long sword appeared.

He is extremely handsome, with a cold face, but his whole body exudes righteousness.

With a series of strange and bizarre sword skills and movements, he killed more than a dozen thieves by himself, and broken hands and feet flew everywhere.

When filming this scene, where Hiko Seijuro first appeared, Su Yan acted as a stand-in and fought.

So the movements are gorgeous, precise, and fierce, but Chu Yumeng is very happy to watch
"This action scene is quite amazing!" Chu Yumeng forgot to eat.

One reason is because the plot is interesting.

Another reason is that I really couldn’t eat because of the bloody scene.

At this moment, a bunch of barrages are floating across the video.

[Same gorgeous action as in the trailer. ]

[Handsome, the master is also amazing! 】

[Is this Kenshin's master from the trailer? ]

[Sakura TV is doomed to fail for only investing 1 million in such a drama. 】

【A very graphic fight scene. 】

This is the beginning of everything in Kenshin's work. Young Shinta met his master, the only successor of the Hiten Miken-ryu, Hiko Seijuro.

In the following plot. The next day, Hiko Seijuro came to this place with wine and wanted to bury the body of the thief he killed yesterday.

But I found that at dusk, in the wilderness, there were piles of graves standing up.

The young man named Shinta stood in front of the graves in tattered clothes.

"Not only those girls who saved you, but also the thieves who wanted to kill you, did you build graves for them?" asked Hiko Seijuro.

"Whether they are bandits or human traffickers, it makes no difference if they die," said the young Shinta.

Shinta's words touched not only Hiko Seijuro, but also the group of people watching the show.

"This line is really meaningful." Chu Yumeng has put down her chopsticks.

The story, in a few minutes, tells the story of how Shinta met his master Hiko Seijuro and was renamed Kenshin, who taught him the Hiten Yuken-ryu.

At this moment, the large title "Rurouni Kenshin: The Killer" slowly appeared on the screen.

The camera switches to a scene in which a team of warriors escort a high-ranking official walking in an alley late at night.

"Your wedding will be next month, right? Kiyosato. Marrying that beautiful childhood sweetheart? What a blessing!" The senior official said with a smile to the guard beside him named Kiyosato.

"The world is in turmoil right now, but I'm still thinking about my children's love." Although Qingli's tone was polite, his eyes were full of smiles.

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with pursuing happiness no matter what the world is like?" said the senior official.

After the senior official finished speaking, he gave Kiyosato and his fiancée about ten seconds of flashbacks.

Something like Kiyosato went to Kyoto to achieve success and fame, and told his fiancée that he would come back to marry her next year.
At this moment, the barrage passed by.

[A flashback. Absolutely amazing. This is called Kiyori's inevitable death.]

[It was a dark and windy night, and these two were happily discussing marriage? They were setting a flag, hehe. ]

【You are gone. Kiyosato.】

[I saw this scene in the trailer. This high-ranking official, along with all his guards including Kiyosato, died in just three seconds after being killed by Kenshin.]

[Watch out ahead, high energy is coming. 】

[I returned after watching the previous part. Damn, don’t blink during the next ten seconds of fighting scene. It’s so cool]

Chu Yumeng looked relaxed.

Although there are always people who give spoilers when watching online dramas and opening the barrage.

But it doesn't matter.

Keep reading.

The senior official and a group of guards were holding lanterns. At this moment, in front of them was a man with black hair, cold eyes, and an upright posture. In his hand, he held a long sword.

Without any nonsense, the senior officials were shocked when they saw the man, as if they recognized him.

"Assassin." Kiyori yelled.

"Do you think you can change the world with just a sword?" The senior official was also angry.

In the alley, a group of people rushed forward.

Then Chu Yumeng realized why someone had issued a high-energy warning before.

Because this fight under the moonlight is as gorgeous as art.

The result of five or six people rushing forward was that in the instant of fighting with the black-haired boy, the sword was swung, and a cold light flashed. The speed was so fast that Chu Yumeng, who was watching the show outside the screen, was startled.

Stab the throat, pierce the heart, behead, and dismember.
The entire action took no more than three seconds, but the actor changed directions five or six times in succession. He was more agile than a cheetah, using the wall of the alley to flip, turn in the air, and move. Finally, he pierced the pot-bellied official through the forehead with a sword, leaving behind only the handsome samurai Kiyosato, who was setting the flag just now with a face full of fear.

There is no special effects, just pure action scenes. The whole shot is smoother than Chu Yumeng occasionally going to the toilet after eating a Xia Lai Shi burger.

The most important thing is that the coldness in the black-haired man's eyes under the moonlight contrasts with the fear on Qingli's expression.

Cruel, bloody, but so handsome that it is difficult to describe with adjectives.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die"

Qingli was completely defenseless against the attack of the black-haired assassin.

My mind kept recalling the voice and appearance of my fiancée.

The final blow that risked his life came just at the moment when the two swords clashed. A chill brushed across the black-haired assassin's cheek, forming a thin and narrow wound on his face.

Some blood flowed from the black-haired assassin's face.

But Qingli's body was almost cut in half by the sword.

Qingli fell to the ground, crying and muttering that he didn't want to die.

But life ends mercilessly.

At this moment, Chu Yumeng finally took a deep breath.

What is this?
It's obviously a poor crew and a poor production, but this classic fight scene still appeared.

At this moment, the barrage of comments all flashed with words like awesome, stunning, great, handsome, etc.
