Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 25 The Villa on the Mountain (6)

Shi Qi lived next door to Gu Shijiu. He hadn't slept and was knocking on the wall he shared with the next room.

Gu Shijiu showed no reaction on the other end.

It seemed that the wall could block out sound, and Shi Qi suddenly felt uneasy.

I'm just an ordinary person now. If something happens to me at night, I won't even have time to call for help.

Gu Shijiu had already fallen asleep over there; she was too tired today.

But there were always troublemakers trying to harm her, and in the middle of the night she was awakened by a faint sobbing sound.

The sound was originally outside the window, but it gradually got closer and closer, and finally it appeared right next to Gu Shijiu's ear.

People who haven't slept well are often a little unhappy: "This villa is so big, why did you come to my bedside to cry?"

The stunned female ghost: Shouldn't the focus be on the haunting of the room late at night?

Gu Shijiu got up and saw the female ghost standing still, forgetting to move.

It took her a while to remember the ghost story, and then she started sobbing.

Gu Shijiu shook her head inwardly. In a Chinese film crew, this kind of acting would have gotten her yelled at and scolded by the director long ago.

She had no script and didn't know what to say, so she just sat there waiting for the female ghost to finish crying.

The female ghost gradually fell silent as she cried, finding her opponent too composed, making it difficult for her to continue her solo act.

Gu Shijiu remained silent and offered no fear, leaving the female ghost at a loss for what to do.

The zombie and the ghost sat on the bed, each lost in thought.

Gu Shijiu realized that this wouldn't work and that she had to fight for more screen time herself.

But how should she argue? She racked her brains, her slow mind working over and over, and finally came up with a solution.

"You cried for so long without shedding a single tear. That's so unprofessional."

Back when I joined the crew, although I didn't have any crying scenes myself, I had seen many people perform crying scenes, and each one of them was better than you.

Those tears fall so easily, and you cry so beautifully, unlike you, whose face is covered with hair.

Actors can't look directly at the camera, but they also can't be completely out of the camera's view.

Gu Shijiu rarely speaks such a long passage; she had prepared her thoughts for a long time before she could finish speaking fluently.

The female ghost was stunned by the question and stammered, "I'm a ghost, not an actress."

Just recite your lines, Gu Shijiu follows her own logic, ignoring what the other person says: "Why are you crying?"

"I'm too ashamed to face anyone." The female ghost raised her head, and Gu Shijiu then saw that her face was also covered with hair.

The female ghost thought she would be asked why she was too ashamed to face anyone, but Gu Shijiu didn't ask.

She curiously examined the skin beneath the ghost's hair: "Hmm—your pores are a bit big."

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before; some people have a lot of body hair, and it's thick and long.

But this is excessively thick and long.

Gu Shijiu turned on the light, found an eyebrow razor on the dressing table, and pressed it against the female ghost's face: "I'm clumsy, don't mind me."

The female ghost was shocked to find that she couldn't break free: "What are you? How can you trap me?"

His tone was somewhat nervous.

Gu Shijiu wasn't going to improvise lines based on the other person's response; she could only continue with the script she had prepared beforehand, using an eyebrow trimmer to shave the female ghost's face.

The female ghost kept struggling and screaming, but Gu Shijiu kept his hands on her, pretending not to hear.

Because of her Trisomy X syndrome, she had difficulty performing fine motor skills. The ghost was shaved so badly that some hair was left on one side and a piece of flesh was missing on the other.

After finally shaving off all the hair on her face, Gu Shijiu began to shape the female ghost's hairline.

However, since the shave was uneven and the eyebrow trimmer was not very convenient to use, she plucked out the excess hair.

After struggling for half the night, I finally managed to get it barely done.

Although it doesn't look very good, it's much more normal than it did at first.

Gu Shijiu pulled the female ghost to look in the mirror: "Satisfied?"

The female ghost dared not express her dissatisfaction; for every bit of hair shaved from her face, Gu Shijiu would absorb a little of her energy.

Gu Shijiu brushed the stray hairs off her hands: "Are you here to eat me?"

She thought to herself with secret delight that if the other party said yes, she should be able to tear it up.

Unexpectedly, the female ghost hurriedly shook her head: "I've come to deliver a message. Your companion is about to be eaten by a ghost."

They originally came here to eat people, so changing their purpose at the last minute shouldn't be a problem, right?

Gu Shijiu's expression immediately changed: "You guys went to eat at Shiqi?"

Ignoring the female ghost in her hand, she rolled out of bed and kicked open Shi Qi's door.

Shi Qi, startled awake, asked, "What's wrong?"

Apart from being a little sleepy-eyed, everything was normal.

"Why are you lying again?" Gu Shijiu was very angry and wanted to cause trouble for the female ghost, but the female ghost had just taken the opportunity to escape.

Upon hearing her description, Shi Qi immediately praised, "Ajiu is really amazing; she must have snagged a lot of screen time."

Hopefully, viewers of "The Immortal Realm" will enjoy it...

"Hehe." Seeing that Shi Qi was alright, Gu Shijiu was relieved. "Then I'll go back and continue sleeping."

"I'm fine here, so the problem probably happened in another room. The female ghost mistook them for our companions."

Shi Qi guessed.

"Should we go and rescue them?" Gu Shijiu tilted her head.

"It depends on Ajiu's feelings." Shi Qi patted her head. "Hey, your hair is much better than when you first came out."

"Oh, I feel much more refreshed after I plucked that female ghost's hair."

Shi Qi understood, this was a boost of energy: "Are you hungry?"

Gu Shijiu shook her head, ignored everyone else, went back to her room, plopped down on her bed, and fell asleep.

Despite the commotion the two caused, no one in the villa came to inquire about it.

Especially the members of this expedition team, who seemed to have heard absolutely nothing.

Shi Qi knew in her heart that something bad was likely to happen tomorrow morning.

As he pondered these thoughts, he couldn't help but drift off to sleep.

In another room, Ma Jiahua from the expedition team was also asleep, his eyes constantly moving under his closed eyelids, probably dreaming.

I don't know how much time passed, but the indentation in the mattress of the single bed seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

Ma Jiahua shifted uncomfortably, feeling as if she were experiencing sleep paralysis.

His body felt heavier and heavier, and in his sleep he felt himself falling.

Finally, Ma Jiahua regained consciousness, but he couldn't move, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him.

"How is this going?"

He had experienced sleep paralysis several times before and had even looked up information about it.

The medical explanation for this phenomenon is "sleep paralysis," which is a type of sleep disorder.

When a person is asleep, both the brain and limbs are resting.

When you are about to wake up, although you are conscious, your limbs have not yet received commands, and your muscle tension is at its lowest, so you will be unable to move. Usually, you will recover quickly.

It may be related to stress, sleeping posture, pillow height, blanket position, etc.

This time, however, Ma Jiahua felt that something was off about the sleep paralysis she experienced.

The intense feeling of suffocation not only did not subside over time, but instead became more and more severe.

It was as if something was constantly pressing down on him.

He couldn't see the stone-like monster clinging to him; he could only raise his hands, trying to push away the heavy object, but he couldn't touch it.

"Help......"
