Excessive ferocity due to caution

Mentioning Zhao Yi, one of the actors immediately exclaimed:

"You all believe what this man says? Are you all crazy?"

"Do you know how many people this guy killed before?"

"Without any grudge, I still killed him!"

"The hundreds of righteous men who came to him last time were almost all wiped out by him; only three returned!"

"The adults in the Lü family wanted them to describe what happened, but they wouldn't say anything; they were clearly terrified!"

"This guy is making us go over there now, he obviously wants to use us as his scapegoats!"

Faced with the three actors' strong opposition, Zhang Dapao and his two companions also became somewhat hesitant.

In fact, which person at their level hasn't had blood on their hands?

But the vast majority of them killed very few people.

If it is merely a powerful evil spirit, one cannot kill people at will in the capital.

The law still plays a significant role.

This is especially true for those of them who don't have a strong background.

They can only legally kill in certain specific circumstances.

For example, a martial arts competition.

After all, fists and feet have no eyes.

Living in a favorable environment, they possess abundant resources for cultivation, yet they are too well protected, lacking the ferocity of the wild beasts in the countryside who fight their way out one by one.

"No, I don't think so!"

"After all, we've come this far; killing us wouldn't benefit him at all!"

Feng Chang said through gritted teeth.

"And we went to Neon Street at first. That place is open 24 hours a day, it's always packed with people, and the yang energy is strong..."

Actress Yang Hong, who was in the cast, crossed her arms and mocked in a sharp, womanly tone:

"Then may I ask, why did people die while we were at the police station?"

"Isn't the yang energy there strong enough?"

"Do you think that when a ghost starts killing people, it cares where you are?"

Zhang Dapao took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a long puff of white smoke.

Let's vote.

"Those who want to go, stand on my side; those who don't want to go, stand on Yang Hong's side."

Soon, everyone lined up.

Three people were standing on Zhang Dapao's side.

The remaining two actors decided not to go to Zhao Yi.

After all, Zhao Yi had a notorious reputation, and they didn't know much about him; their information came mainly from public opinion.

At least they couldn't help but think that evil spirits were already terrifying enough, and now with the addition of a murderer, wouldn't the survival rate be even lower?

So they decided to stay.

Find your own way to survive.

The group went their separate ways.

Zhang Dapao quickly led the three of them to Neon Street by taxi.

At the designated location, they found Zhao Yi drinking.

"What do you want with us?"

The situation is changing rapidly, so Zhang Dapao stopped being polite and went straight to the point.

Zhao Yi glanced at everyone and asked:

"Everyone else is dead?"

Zhang Dapao sighed:

"Two people died."

"Fatty and Xiao Xuan are dead."

"The others have left."

Zhao nodded and put down his wine glass.

"Time is limited, so I'll keep it brief."

"First, there is more than one evil spirit hunting us, and I believe you have already sensed that."

Everyone nodded.

Zhao Yi continued:

"Secondly, ghosts hiding in the shadows cannot normally see us."

"It can only hunt us after we trigger a specific condition."

"If multiple people trigger this specific condition within a short period of time, then the ghost will only choose one of them to hunt down."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

"What specific condition are you referring to?"

Zhang Dapao asked.

Zhao Yi replied:

It's not clear yet.

"The last thing, and the most important thing, concerns the life and death of all of us."

His expression became much more serious:

"To survive, we must find out what exactly happened in Cursed Mountain."

"If we can't recover that lost memory, none of you here will survive!"

Actress Huang Taotao frowned.

She remained calm throughout.

Even under immense pressure, she didn't scream or run around.

Instead, they were pondering how this film could survive.

In fact, from the start of filming, the evil spirits lurking in the shadows were hunting them down, giving them no chance to find any clues.

She also realized why the people behind the fox mask had reminded them to work as a team before filming began.

The demon's high-frequency attacks and absolute lethality felt like a small mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

"Actually, I have another question..."

Huang Taotao spoke, tucking back the strands of hair that had been blown about by the wind.

"Before we left that hotel, we were attacked by ghosts twice... Xiao Xuan died without any surprise. Including the first two people who died, it's clear that ghosts are extremely swift and decisive when they kill!"

"But when it was Feng Chang's turn, the ghost did not kill him immediately."

"It even gave us the opportunity to rescue him."

"This is very unusual."

Her expression was serious and puzzled.

On the way, Feng Chang told them that he hadn't seen anything strange, but he felt tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe properly.

Zhao Yidao:

"There is a plausible possibility... that there were two ghosts in your room at the time."

"Xiao Xuan triggered the conditions for the ghost to kill, so she was killed by one of them."

"And the rest of you did not have the opportunity to trigger the ghost to kill."

"In order to kill you, it will take the initiative and may try to create an illusion to induce you to do something, thereby triggering its killing urge."

"But in the end, you all managed to escape by sheer luck."

Upon hearing this, the group of people shuddered inexplicably.

They remembered Zhang Dapao's bronze bowl.

If that bronze bowl hadn't existed, would Feng Chang have...?

"That's not right!"

Zhang Dapao, the team leader, frowned.

"According to you, the evil spirit cannot see us unless we trigger its killing impulse."

"If you didn't see it, how could you use illusions on us, or even kill us directly through illusions?"

He wasn't talking nonsense.

If he hadn't intervened to save Feng Chang, Feng Chang might have died of suffocation!

Zhao Yi's tone became subtle:

"That's why I took the risk of coming to you."

"If my guess is correct, the more people you kill, the stronger the demon will become!"
