Chapter 71: Changes at the Film and Television Base
In an instant, the sky above Hanjiang City was shrouded by countless black crows, like a thick layer of dark clouds, their black feathers concealing their gloomy presence as they quickly disappeared into the night sky.
These crows are scattered throughout the city.
New Century Paradise.
Xicheng Police Station.
A bridge spanning the river.
……
But soon, Zhang Ze realized his limits. While maintaining full coverage of the crow's vision, he could only cover the area in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City at most.
As for the eastern suburbs, the crows are too far away to reach them.
But that's enough; the western suburbs of Hanjiang City are the area most severely affected by the disaster.
"Let the crows be my eyes."
"I will destroy any new ghost stories that appear."
Just like the Dark Forest theory, the darkness of the city should be dealt with according to the rules of the night. Zhang Ze took the initiative to release the crows to various corners of the western suburbs of Hanjiang City, which was also a way of showing off his strength to the people in the city at night.
tell them.
There's a top-notch red dress here.
This person in red is not targeting anyone for the time being.
But if they dare to come knocking, don't blame them for being used as a target.
When the fierce god does not appear, the red-clad warrior is invincible!
"quack!"
A crow cawed somewhere.
Zhang Ze noticed this and immediately appeared at the scene.
At the bottom of the Hanjiang City Bridge, in the middle of the icy lake, a person was struggling.
"Help!"
"Is anyone there? Help me!!"
Through his ghostly eyes, Zhang Ze saw that the man's feet were being gripped tightly by a swollen hand, which was pulling him down. Fortunately, the man was a good swimmer and managed to thrash around for about ten seconds.
It was those crucial ten-odd seconds that held out until Zhang Ze arrived to provide support.
The crow plunged into the water.
With a tearing motion, the monster at the bottom of the water let go.
The man was rescued, and Zhang Zeshen reached out and pulled the exhausted man ashore.
"Sir, your kindness and virtue are beyond measure; I am deeply grateful!!"
As soon as the man got ashore, he kowtowed to Zhang Ze, kowtowing until his forehead was bleeding. Zhang Ze quickly helped him up, asking, "What were you doing running around in the middle of the lake in the middle of the night?"
"I...I..."
The man stammered for a long time, "I was just fishing by the river when I saw a woman calling for help in the middle of the lake. I thought that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so I took off my clothes and went into the water to save her."
"When I finally got close, the woman suddenly disappeared. I felt something was wrong and tried to swim back to shore, but I felt something pulling at the soles of my feet, like a jellyfish stinging my feet. I lost consciousness immediately."
"If you hadn't saved me, I would be dead!"
The man tried every trick in the book to give Zhang Ze money.
Zhang Ze declined for a while, but then a flock of crows sounded an alarm from another spot, and before the man's astonished eyes, they transformed into a flock of crows and flew into the boundless night sky.
"Um?"
Zhang Ze actually felt a strange sense of being watched.
Following this sense of being watched, Ghost Eye looked towards the river.
At the bottom of the water, there was a monster that looked somewhat familiar. Perhaps because the water surface affected the refraction of vision, the monster's body was stretched very long, making it appear very distorted.
Zhang Ze could only vaguely see a figure, a man's figure, staring intently at Zhang Ze, who was the crow.
"This person...doesn't he look a bit like Yue Pan?"
Zhang Ze memorized this face.
It soon appeared at another location in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City.
The night was as red as blood.
……
……
morning.
The sun appeared on the distant horizon.
Zhang Ze retrieved all the crows, and it was all over. He couldn't remember how many people he had saved throughout the night. Some of them were related to the Ghost Story Research Company, some were caused by other supernatural events, and some were simply accidents caused by the people's carelessness.
Although no calculations were made.
Zhang Ze estimated that there were at least a hundred people.
After daybreak, Zhang Ze received another call from Chen Ge.
"How did you manage to do that?"
"The video hadn't even finished playing when you appeared just in time to save his life, just when he was about to die. He never died, he survived every single time!"
"Now the Ghost Stories Research Company has sent one last video."
Zhang Ze nodded. "Where is the video address? I haven't received any messages. Tell me, and I'll go rescue them."
"No, this video is a bit... weird."
Chen Ge hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Zhang Ze sensed something was wrong and returned to the Donghai Road Film and Television Base.
Since it was already daylight, it wouldn't be convenient to openly use crows to move around, so Zhang Ze chose to take a taxi and enter the film and television base through the main gate.
Going to work in the morning.
After passing through the security booth by facial recognition, Zhang Ze bumped into the film crew from yesterday once again in the corridor on the first floor.
"Don't look at his face!!"
"ah!!"
The pale-skinned monster continued chasing Bai Xiaoxiao, passing right in front of Zhang Ze.
Considering yesterday's situation.
Zhang Ze was about to instinctively lend a helping hand, but his movement froze in mid-air, preventing any further complications.
They're filming a movie.
Why should he bother with that?
Just as Zhang Ze ignored this scene, pressed the elevator button, and prepared to go up to the fifth floor.
Bai Xiaoxiao ran towards Zhang Ze in a panic.
"Help!"
"Help me, help me!"
Zhang Ze paused.
Could this be a staged accident?
After thinking about it, I think it might be because of Xiaotou's efforts. After all, Bai Xiaoxiao is indeed good-looking. Even without makeup, she looks like a minor celebrity.
the most important is.
His panicked demeanor didn't seem like an act.
"Gah!"
The crow flew out of nowhere once more, instantly shattering the monster's skull like a bullet.
The monster collapsed backward, powerless.
Zhang Ze walked forward expressionlessly and stepped on the middle of the monster's belly, causing the leather suit to cave in and create a large crater.
"There's no actor inside the suit?"
"How is it possible for the suit to move on its own?"
Zhang Ze was a little uncertain. What if this thing was some kind of advanced high-tech product, costing hundreds of thousands of yuan? He couldn't afford to lose that money.
There was no film crew following Bai Xiaoxiao around.
"What happened?"
Bai Xiaoxiao slumped to the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't know either. I came here to clock in during the day, before Director Sun and the others arrived. Suddenly, this suit started moving and scratched my face."
"I thought it was a costume actor joking with me, but they almost scratched my face raw! I'm an actress, I make a living with my face, boohoo..."
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Ze saw that Bai Xiaoxiao did indeed have a bloody scratch on her face. It wasn't serious enough to cause serious injury, but it would definitely be a devastating blow to her acting career.
"Let's go to the hospital first. I'll give you a crow to protect you." Zhang Ze took a crow out of his clothes and perched it on Bai Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
Bai Xiaoxiao was so moved that she thanked him repeatedly and, disregarding her image, ran out in a flurry of activity.
Zhang Ze glanced at the tattered monster suit.
"Is something wrong with this film and television base too?"
"Impossible. Chen Ge is guarding the home, and Zhang Ya is a top-tier Red Robe. There's no way there's anything that even Zhang Ya can't handle at this stage," Zhang Ze muttered to himself.
As the elevator went upstairs, I couldn't help but reach into my pocket.
