The civilians were collateral damage in the clash between titans, and Hu Zheng was the poor civilian.

Li Jingran returned to a dressing room full of people gloating at her misfortune. Straightening her back, she knew better than to lose her cool and give them a reason to laugh about.

Lin Chan smiled at her. “Ms. Li, the look suits you.”

Catching the sarcasm, Li Jingran smiled back. “Thank you.”

Li Jingran would soon deal with Lin Chan, the b*tch. A D-lister such as Lin Chan was a nobody. It was easier to shut her out of showbiz than dealing with Cloud Seven.

All the faces who taunted and insulted Li Jingran would not be forgotten. Li Jingran was going to make sure they got what was coming for them.

Back in the writer’s room, Shen Xi could watch from every angle of the set. Since the filming studio was packed with cameras and CCTV, the wicked and furious look on Li Jingran’s face when she turned away did not go amiss. Shen Xi curled her lips in delight.

It was no fun that Li Jingran was already livid at just the beginning. Shen Xi hoped Li Jingran would survive the shoot. Otherwise, it would put Shen Xi in a difficult position.

Li Jingran spent the whole morning in fury and annoyance. Needing to let off steam badly, she was unable to get into character and suffered multiple bloopers. The frequent cuts invited many bewildered and doubtful gazes.

She needed to get her act together if she did not want to end up a joke. These issues should not occur with her acting and Cloud Seven was to be blamed for it!

The morning’s filming was merely testing the waters rather than an official one. There was a day of read-through prior to the shooting of every episode where the cast would gather to run lines with each other to share their thoughts and perceptions.

With the morning trials over, the table read commenced in the afternoon.

An hour before, Hu Zheng took out a computer and installed a projector. He said that Screenwriter Cloud Seven had found relevant videos to help the cast have a feel of the characters they were portraying.

The videos were not to be watched together as everyone had different parts. A quiet environment was most conducive for them to reflect on the depth of the roles and how best to reenact the same.

The actors took turns to watch the five-minute video in a dark room and soon Li Jingran was up.

Li Jingran entered the darkroom and looked at the freeze-frame of a window on the projector screen. Fixated on the glass window, she picked up the remote control and hit the play button.

The video began to play.

By the glass window stood a beautiful woman with long hair. She glanced to the side with hopeless and hateful eyes that sent chills to the bone before leaping down the window.

It felt as though the last look on the woman’s face was staring right into Li Jingran’s soul. Before Li Jingran had a chance to react, in mere seconds, the woman fell into a splatter of blood. Smashed to a pulp, the woman’s body contorted almost as though the head and body were disjointed. Strange enough, Li Jingran had a full front view of the woman’s face.

The pair of eyes, bearing resentment, despair, and bitterness that could burn its victims in the inferno, was staring straight at Li Jingran.

Li Jingran was only frightened for a minute. By the time she realized it was only a video, she settled down and scoffed in spite. “Godd*mnit!”

It must be Cloud Seven’s doing! He was naïve to think he could scare her with this. Li Jingran had seen everything to be fooled by a video.

She was not afraid when Yuan Heng died. The dead woman was no match for her even in her ghost form, what more a measly video?

However, no sooner had Li Jingran gotten a grip than the scene changed. The woman in the video suddenly came to life and pounced at her.

The impact was too great as she watched the woman’s bloody eyes and mangled face burst through the screen and came at her.

The strange woman’s face suddenly transformed into Yuan Heng’s, the woman Li Jingran despised the most.

“Ah!” Li Jingran let out a horrified shriek before collapsing onto the ground. With a pale complexion, she glared wickedly at the face and picked up a nearby humidifier to hurl at it. “Go to hell, Yuan Heng!”

The screams were so loud and appalling that the people outside the room could hear the commotion despite the well soundproof walls.

The first to break into the room, Su Ruowan caught a whiff of a foul urine smell. She ran over and found Li Jingran trembling on the floor. She asked with worry, “What’s wrong, Mom?”

The others rushed in and smelled something funny as well.

Lin Chan shouted in surprise, “Oh, my, Ms. Li. That’s not very nice of you. How can you take a dump and a leak in here? How are we supposed to watch the videos later?”

Everyone could take a wild guess at Li Jingran’s situation, but Lin Chan drew more people to shift their eyes to the lower part of Li Jingran’s body. Disgusted and feeling sick to their stomach, the crowd began to chatter in low voices.

Hu Zheng dismissed the people before inquiring, “Ms. Li, what happened to you?”

Scared out of her wits, Li Jingran was too terrified and rattled to pay attention to her surroundings. She stared blankly at the screen with bitter hatred and animosity in her eyes.

On the screen, the video was still playing. It was a normal video of a long-haired woman jumping off the building. It was the scene for Li Jingran to reenact.

Shen Xi put down her earphones in the writer’s room while gazing at Li Jingran who lost the function of her bowels due to nerves. Shaking her head in disappointment, Shen Xi thought Li Jingran would hang on for longer. All it took was a holographic projection to scare the sh*t out of Li Jingran.

Li Jingran was watching an original video at first. Nevertheless, Shen Xi tampered with the tape to change it into a holographic projection of Yuan Heng. The effects were pretty good when Yuan Heng sprung out of the video.

Still, Shen Xi was surprised that Li Jingran showed no signs of remorse. She even told Yuan Heng to go to hell.

With Yuan Heng dead for more than twenty years, how was she supposed to perish once more? Even if someone was to go to hell, it should be Li Jingran! Li Jingran should atone and repent her sins on her knees before Yuan Heng!
