As night fell, Qi Guiyi finished filming his last shot, bid farewell to the director and the studio staff politely, and then got into the nanny car arranged by his agent to leave.
As soon as he got in the car, Qi Guiyi sat in the back seat of the car and began to fiddle with his mobile phone. His mobile phone pendant was a peach-wood sword the size of a knuckle, which shook slightly with the mobile phone.
Sitting next to him, the agent said excitedly, "Gui Yi, did you see Director Liu's satisfied expression just now? You did a good job in the last scene!"
Director Liu is a leading director in the industry, he is strict and critical, and few people can get his praise.Qi Guiyi made his debut as a limited men's group through a talent show last year, and his popularity has exploded.This time he was fortunate to participate in a TV series shot by Director Liu. Although he played only the male lead, it was extremely challenging, especially in the last scene - the male lead's reaction when he knew his life was numbered.
Originally, the agent was worried that Qi Guiyi would pull his hips during the performance without professional training, but he didn't expect Qi Guiyi's interpretation of that scene to be perfect.
Qi Guiyi sighed, and said leisurely: "There is a saying that art comes from life."
The manager was silent for a while, remembering that Qi Gui suddenly called him half a month ago and told him that his life had entered a countdown, so he softened his voice and tried to persuade him: "But the second half of the sentence is better, don't let the art Take control of your life, become one, and step out of this role!"
Qi Guiyi slowly put out a question mark, don't bully him for being uneducated, okay? ! The second half of the sentence "art comes from life" is clearly "art should be higher than life".
But looking at the manager's kind eyes as if he was afraid of irritating him, Qi Guiyi silently pursed his lips, and no longer chose to argue.If this incident hadn't happened to him, Qi Guiyi would never have believed that his lifespan was in jeopardy.
No one is born a star, and Qi Guiyi's career before his debut was far from that of a star-he was a celestial master, specializing in subjugating demons and helping justice.
That year, Qi Guiyi bid farewell to his master and senior brothers according to the school rules, and went down the mountain alone to practice. Unexpectedly, he knelt down at the level where Qian Hua ran out not long after he went down the mountain.When he was about to be kicked out by the landlord because he had no money to pay the rent, Qi Guiyi received a flyer from a company recruiting trainees, and among the various conditions listed on the flyer, the one that attracted him the most was the accommodation—no way, no The dance practice room is full of sweat, and she is about to cry in the bridge hole under the flyover.
So Qi Guiyi chose to change his major overnight, from a celestial master to a trainee.
Because of his outstanding appearance, the entertainment company immediately signed Qi Guiyi, sent him to the dance studio for a few months, and then sent him to the men's team talent show.Unexpectedly, Qi Guiyi became an instant hit because of this, and finally made his debut successfully and became a member of the limited group.
The limited group was disbanded three months ago, Qi Guiyi's career and popularity did not decline, but ushered in a new peak.Just when his career was in full swing, Qi Guiyi suddenly received a letter from his master.Qi Guiyi's master began to travel around the world in his early years. Qi Guiyi thought it was a letter to report his safety as usual. Unexpectedly, the master said in the letter that he had divination a few days ago and found that Qi Guiyi's life had suddenly entered a countdown. Eat whatever you want, don't hurt yourself.
Qi Guiyi: "..."
Wait for Master, he thinks he can save him again, don't just give up on him!
Fortunately, the master is still very reliable, and the conversation changed to say that he has found a solution for Qi Guiyi, that is, to accumulate merit quickly, after all, a little merit is life for a day.In order to make it easier for Qi Guiyi to check his merits and virtues, the master also sent him a magic weapon in the shape of a watch, which can show Qi Guiyi's lifespan.
Recalling this point, Qi Gui subconsciously looked down at his merit list, and saw "3:59" written in big blood red characters on it, and the number of seconds behind was still decreasing.
His life expectancy is less than 4 hours? !
The agent was still chattering on the sidelines: "In a few days, I heard that the show you are going to be on has invited Gu Zheng. You have to perform well. If you can make a bridge through this show, how about working with Gu Zheng in the future?"
The name of Gu Zheng is widely heard in the entertainment industry, and Qi Guiyi has naturally heard of it, knowing that he is about the same age as himself, but he is already the youngest grand slam actor in history.
The manager slapped his thigh and said, "I have learned a lot from "The Legend of Zhen X", which will definitely make you stand out among the guests..."
But now Qi Guiyi is not in the mood to listen to his agent imparting his unique secrets. After knowing that his life is counting down, he hastily clicked on a software called "Tianshi APP" on his phone.With the advancement of science and technology, today's celestial masters no longer use the traditional stalls to solicit business, but directly accept orders on the APP.However, due to the fact that there are too many monks and few porridges, Qi Guiyi is rarely able to grab the list - after all, if he could grab the list back then, he would not have been forced to change jobs.
This time, Qi Guiyi was so excited that he grabbed the order as soon as he opened the app.He only glanced at the address, put on a mask and sunglasses immediately, made sure that he would not be recognized by passers-by, and then shouted to the driver sitting in the front row, "Stop, I'll get off here!"
"What are you doing?" The agent didn't know what Qi Guiyi was doing, he wanted to stop him, but Qi Guiyi said "I'm going to buy an orange, you sit here and don't move", got out of the car and left, only Leave the manager with a chic back.
It was the evening rush hour, Qi Gui checked the traffic flow after getting out of the car, immediately gave up taking a taxi, and drove directly to a shared bicycle on the side of the road, stretched his long legs, and began to ride towards the destination.
The destination is a villa area, some distance away from the place where he got off the car, Qi Guiyi finally arrived at the destination after riding for [-] minutes.He put down the shared bicycle out of breath, feeling that if he rode for a few more minutes, he might die in less than four hours.
In order to avoid being recognized, Qi Guiyi was dressed in black from head to toe, and even wore a pair of sunglasses at night. The security guards of the villa immediately became energetic when they saw him, and asked Qi Guiyi to tell the person he was looking for. Then the other party came to pick him up in person before agreeing to pass.
Taking advantage of the time when the security guards contacted the employer, Qi Guiyi turned on his mobile phone and began to read the task information of the order he had received.It turned out that the employers this time were a middle-aged couple, and it was their 19-year-old daughter who had the accident.Their daughter recently claimed to have a secret online relationship with herself and the popular film star Gu Zheng, and because of this, her personality changed drastically, from her original cheerful personality to a taciturn one.
The couple investigated the WeChat account claiming to be Gu Zheng, but found that the WeChat account seemed to appear out of nowhere, and only the daughter could search for it.The couple realized that something was wrong, and they told their daughter what they had discovered, but the daughter seemed to be bewitched by something, she didn't believe it at all, and said that her parents wanted to break up the true love, arguing to commit suicide.
Not long after the security guard called, the employer and his wife ran over in a panic. They greeted the security guard first, and then looked around blankly: "Where's the master?"
Qi Guiyi, who was almost integrated into the night, silently raised his hand: "I am here."
The couple were obviously tormented by this incident, and they attributed Qi Guiyi's ninja-like dressing up to their unique hobbies, and while taking Qi Guiyi to their home, they introduced the situation.
"We tried to delete that WeChat ID, but it reappeared in the list in the next second; we also tried to throw away the mobile phone, but it didn't work, and it reappeared in the room the next day. We really had no choice, listen An acquaintance introduced and downloaded this app..."
After listening to the employer's narration, Qi Guiyi already had a guess in his heart, but he thought that he needed to verify it again: "Where are your daughter and mobile phone?"
The employer replied: "On the second floor, in her room, she had a fuss last night, and now she is so tired that she fell asleep."
After arriving at the employer's house, Qi Guiyi went straight to the second floor under the leadership of the employer.In order not to wake up the employer's daughter, he gently opened the door.
As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, Qi Guiyi met a pair of slender and cold eyes.
Qi Guiyi clicked subconsciously, and when he took a closer look, he realized that he was looking at the eyes of a poster on the wall just now.The man on the poster has a handsome face, a straight nose, thin lips pursed into a straight line, and a white shirt buttoned tightly. Just the photo can feel the alienation of the other party.
There is also a beautiful signature in the lower right corner of the poster - Gu Zheng.
"What a beautiful face, no wonder girls are obsessed with him." Qi Guiyi thought in his heart, and then went straight to the mobile phone on the table.
As soon as his hand touched the phone, a black mist floated out of the phone, wrapping around Qi Guiyi's wrist like a chain, but Qi Guiyi was not surprised, and said softly: "It really is this kind of thing." .”
The employer and his wife rushed in and hugged their daughter who was sleeping on the bed. Looking at the black smoke, they stammered and asked, "Master, what is this?"
Qi Guiyi patiently explained: "This is resentment, which is similar to the inner demon in TV dramas or film and television dramas, which can make people who are entangled by it have hallucinations. It must be your daughter's obsession with Gu Zheng that makes this resentment Taking advantage of the loophole, the deeper the obsession, the stronger the power, but don't worry, it seems that it is just a small amount of resentment, so it can only instigate suicide, and cannot cause substantial harm to your daughter."
When he heard his employer describe his daughter's reaction to being bewitched, he felt that it was caused by resentment, and now his guess has been verified.The resentment uses the mobile phone as a carrier, and pretends to be Gu Zheng's identity to fall in love with the girl.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist wrapped around his wrist instantly swelled and expanded, occupying most of the room, and a fuzzy facial features could be seen vaguely from the black mist.
At the same time, the employer's daughter was also awakened by the noise, opened her eyes and saw the black mist screaming, hugging her parents.
The male employer hugged his wife and children, shivering: "Master, do you think this is a small stock?"
Qi Guiyi's hand has already reached into his pocket: "Obviously, not."
This resentment is very cunning, when he sensed the appearance of his celestial master, he immediately showed up obediently, wrapping his wrists as if begging for peace, but he did not expect that he salutes first and then fires, without emphasizing martial ethics.
Part of this mass of resentment was wrapped around Qi Guiyi's wrist, and it made a flicking motion, Qi Guiyi was pulled by his wrist, and hit the wall behind him!
The employer's family of three closed their eyes subconsciously, not daring to watch what happened next. According to the force of the fall, Qi Guiyi had better be half broken.
Sure enough, they heard a shrill scream.Just listening carefully, but it doesn't seem like a person can send it out.
They opened their eyes tremblingly, and found that the scream came from the black mist. The black rope that was originally wrapped around Qi Guiyi's wrist fell to the ground, and it was Qi Guiyi's hand that cut it. The mahogany sword that appeared.
Although the mahogany sword was only the size of a knuckle, it cut through the fog like vegetables. After cutting off the black fog, Qi Guiyi kicked off the wall with the force of being thrown out, jumped up with the force, and rushed straight towards the resentment.
Resentment endured the pain, and like a madman, many arrow-like sharp black mist split from its body, attacking Qi Guiyi like a net.Because the target of resentment is only aimed at himself now, Qi Guiyi no longer worries that his employer will be accidentally injured, he tries his best to dodge, although his speed is very fast, but there is still an arrow-shaped black mist grazed his throat, a wound.
At the same time, Qi Guiyi has also appeared in front of the black mist, pointing the tip of his sword at the black mist, with a handsome figure: "If there is an afterlife—"
Hei Wu's blurred face was startled, and Qi Guiyi continued to say: "You must learn to be polite."
The moment he touched the tip of the mahogany sword, Hei Wu didn't know whether it was because of anger or pain. He let out a long cry, and then burst like a punctured balloon with a "bang", but it didn't disperse. Come, but they all dispersed in one direction - the merit watch on Qi Guiyi's wrist.
After absorbing the black mist, the dial showed a "+1", and Qi Guiyi also knew that he had an extra day of life.
After confirming their safety, the employer and his wife brought their daughter to thank Qi Guiyi. Their gazes fell on Qi Guiyi's neck: "Master, your neck is hurt."
Qi Gui hung the mahogany sword back on his phone, and didn't care much: "It's okay, just put a Band-Aid on it."
In the noisy bedroom, no one noticed that a wisp of black mist slipped out from under the bed and turned into two legs and ran towards the window.At the moment when it was about to step out of the window, it suddenly turned its head and glanced at Qi Guiyi's back, as if wanting to remember him, with a ferocious smile on his blurred facial features.
As soon as he got in the car, Qi Guiyi sat in the back seat of the car and began to fiddle with his mobile phone. His mobile phone pendant was a peach-wood sword the size of a knuckle, which shook slightly with the mobile phone.
Sitting next to him, the agent said excitedly, "Gui Yi, did you see Director Liu's satisfied expression just now? You did a good job in the last scene!"
