Chapter 10 Life is such a cheap thing

The weather today is not very good. It is drizzling and the sun looks listless, hanging in the sky without any heat or warmth.

At this moment, the door of the living room of a detached villa was open, and the cold wind blowing in from outside made the curtains rustle. The dim living room, lit only by a candle, was even colder, and the coldness penetrated into the heart through the collar.

The empty living room only had a table with a sharp and cold knife on it. A man and a teenager sat opposite each other, just looking at each other without saying a word.

But just a few meters away, all kinds of equipment have been set up, and cold lights are shining in the center, which looks like a film crew's set.

"Scene 110, Shot 1, Action!"

After confirming that all parties were in place, the bespectacled script supervisor put down the clapperboard with a "click", marking the official start of filming.

At the same time, the man looked at the boy in front of him who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. His face showed an expression of shock and anger, but he felt a little unsure in his heart.

He knew the other person's name, Qi Xiuyuan, and he also knew that the other person was a lucky child star and best-selling author. Even the opportunity to play the male lead was due to the other person's affirmation.

Because this movie is adapted from Qi Xiuyuan's thriller novel, although it has been transformed into a suspense film after some artistic processing...

The main plot is actually very simple, similar to the 2009 American film "Orphan" and the Hong Kong film "The Killer".

The policeman and his wife adopted a seemingly well-behaved and sensible orphan. Several vicious murders occurred around the man. The man thought he was schizophrenic, but finally found out that the orphan was a perverted murderer.

Overall, it should be a low-budget movie, but the original novel has many plot twists, and the criminal methods revealed in the end are also very brain-burning and thrilling. The second male lead, an orphan played by Qi Xiuyuan, has his well-behaved image shattered in the end, which is a contrast and exciting enough.

But that's where the problem lies.

Now most of the plot has been filmed, leaving only the scenes after the orphan's identity is revealed, and this part can be said to be the most difficult.

In the beginning, he only needs to play the role of a well-behaved and even somewhat inferior child, but if he fails to perform the contrast between a born bad guy and a perverted murderer in the end, the whole film will lack the most important "soul".

"..."

Looking at Qi Xiuyuan, who had a gentle and well-behaved smile and clear and bright eyes, the man admitted that the other party's appearance was indeed very good. No wonder the other party had so many fans who called themselves "Mom" on the Internet.

But actors are not idols, and good looks cannot make up for bad acting skills.

Even if the other party can play the role of a well-behaved and sensible child in his true colors, the man does not think that the other party can perform the tension and oppression of a perverted murderer, and the other party's performance will also affect his acting skills.

At least, looking at the other person's harmless face, it should be difficult to show "fear".

"It's you."

He thought so in his heart, but his face still maintained a shocked and angry expression. He looked at Qi Xiuyuan in front of him and roared hoarsely: "You did all this!"

He stared intently at Qi Xiuyuan's eyes, but soon he noticed that those eyes seemed to have changed...

The smile is still as sweet as ever, the only difference is the eyes.

"do you know?"

Qi Xiuyuan didn't seem to be talking to the man in front of him, but more like talking to himself. Without even waiting for the man to say the lines in the script, he slowly raised his hands, as if holding a rope in front of him with both hands.

It was like pinching the neck and body of a mouse.

"Do you know what it feels like to kill a creature for the first time?"

He asked softly as usual, tilting his head slightly as if waiting for the man's answer.

"..."

The man who was stunned for a moment by Qi Xiuyuan's performance came to his senses and realized that the director did not interrupt him. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say his original lines.

But suddenly, he froze, his whole body.

Through the flickering candlelight in front of him, Qi Xiuyuan turned his head to look at him, and he saw Qi Xiuyuan's eyes.

But the youthful clarity and spirit in those eyes had vanished. The pupils between the whites of her eyes looked like black ink smudged in white water. The look she gave the man seemed devoid of emotion. This made the man who met her gaze feel uncomfortable, as if he had become a dead object in her eyes.

"I can tell you."

"When you hold a living being in your hands, it will struggle, twist, and make unpleasant noises."

A sickly red flush appeared on Qi Xiuyuan's pale face. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The hair hanging in front of his fair forehead covered his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

His voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of joy in his tone: "Your hands will tremble and you will be afraid, but you will secrete adrenaline, and you will be excited and thrilled."

"When you come to your senses, you have already crushed its neck, squeezed its body and internal organs, and your hands are covered in blood."

“And then you think back.”

"what."

He murmured, "It turns out to be such a simple thing."

It seemed as if a cold wind blew in from outside, and the man who looked at her suddenly felt a chill that spread along his spine and spread throughout his body.
The candlelight fell on my body, but I couldn't feel any warmth.

Finally, he couldn't help but shudder violently, his teeth clashed together, and he bit his tongue before he could retract it.

"I……"

The man's lips moved, trying to speak his lines.

"Don't worry." As if he could see his fear at the moment, Qi Xiuyuan smiled gently and said, "Actually, as long as we find the right method..."

He lowered his head to look at his left hand, exerted a little force, as if pinching something, and said, "Just use your left hand to pinch its neck. Make sure that even if it struggles, its neck won't move."

As he spoke, his right hand seemed to be pinching something, and his voice became softer: "Use your right hand again to grasp the base of its tail, and then quickly pull it up with force..."

Qi Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at the man with a stiff expression. Under his lifeless pupils, a twisted and cruel smile gradually appeared on his face. His mouth slowly opened and said:
"Click."

It was like crushing an ant by the scruff of its back, or snapping a mouse's neck and watching it twitch.

This is the evil of children, the purest evil.

The man only felt that his heart was as if being squeezed by an ice-cold hand, and fear mixed with blood oozed out of his heart.

"Life, it turns out, is such a cheap thing."

Qi Xiuyuan's face, distinctly light and dark, was filled with joy. The shadow behind him flickered like a demon in the candlelight. He stared at the trembling man through the candlelight and said, "It's like a little candle flame, a gentle puff..."

call.

The only light in the living room went out.

The man who was in darkness suddenly came to his senses, only to see a face with a cruel smile suddenly approaching.

The lips are so bright that they seem to be smeared with blood, and the corners of the mouth are twisted and turned up, the whole face seems to have broken through the barrier between reality and falsehood!
At this moment, the person in front of me is a murderer.

Bang!
The man fell directly into the chair, his facial features squeezed together in fear, his chest heaving violently. He subconsciously grabbed the dinner knife beside him and stabbed the approaching figure in front of him, roaring: "You, you die!"

"Card!"

An excited voice suddenly sounded, dragging him back to reality. At the same time, the originally dim living room became bright with the sound of turning on the light.

The terrifying "murderer" retreated, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again.

"Are you okay?" the "murderer" asked with concern.
