my assistant wants to be the devil
Chapter 71 Abilities
Lucifer and Susan got out of the nanny's car, and they happened to bump into Li Jia who was walking towards them. Li Jia lowered her head and walked in a hurry, not paying attention to others at all.
Susan noticed Lucifer's gaze, and asked strangely: "Is there anything special about this woman?"
Lucifer took a meaningful look at Jiang Xinlei's nanny car, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just prepared a gift, thank you for the heroine's concern for Zi Qiao."
Susan was a little interested. The blond man looked dignified and clean, but she saw something dangerous and evil flashing past his eyes.
pm3:30
Half an hour is not a long time for anyone, but Li Jia huddled in a corner of the set, and went through a complicated and painful process in a daze.
She has always been grateful to Jiang Xinlei for her support. After all, at this age, she has seen many things before she realized how ridiculous it is for her to go to the film and television base with a wishful thinking, and to slowly enter the entertainment circle through extras. thing.
She is weak, but she does not lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong, as well as complain and hate.
In the end, the dark side triumphed over the light side.
Jiang Xinlei removed some makeup on purpose to prove that she was tired, and that she was dedicated to filming on set in rainy days.She walked towards the director, and she had already made up her mind that as long as she explained clearly to the director and dispelled the director's dissatisfaction with her, Chen Ziqiao, other supporting actors, and those insignificant behind-the-scenes personnel would be nothing.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with thinking so.When she first debuted back then, she was also so conscientious, looking at the faces of her seniors, but now that she has made it through, is she still as timid as before?
The accident happened at this time. The first person attacked was Jiang Xinlei's assistant, because she went to inform Li Jia of the result, hoping that Li Jia would acquiesce in the fact that "I flatter Jiang Xinlei and take the initiative to vent my anger on her".
The assistant let out a heart-piercing scream, and hundreds of people in the entire crew were frightened, and then witnessed what could be called a nightmare.
Li Jia didn't kill Jiang Xinlei's assistant, although half of the assistant's neck was bitten off, and the head seemed crumbling because of the lack of support.Li Jia rushed towards Jiang Xinlei like an irrational beast.
Jiang Xinlei no longer had the slightest attitude of a star, her face turned pale with fright, and she screamed pitifully.
……
Chen Ziqiao felt the whole picture go black, and suddenly woke up.
……
This is... a dream?
He rubbed his forehead tiredly, wondering why he dreamed such an absurd dream, and this dream was so comprehensive that it could be called a small script of a horror movie?
Could it be that I have read too many scripts?He was speechless looking at the script he had recited and fell asleep halfway through.
Chen Ziqiao glanced at the time, it was 12:45 noon, Lucifer boarded the nanny's car, and arranged Chen Ziqiao's hair and clothes.
Chen Ziqiao smiled, and leaned on Lucifer, the depression and fatigue caused by the nightmare was relieved a lot.
Maybe it's because of Lucifer's departure in the future, or maybe it's because this angel is a lover he's been wanting for a long time. Chen Ziqiao cherishes every minute and every second with him.
Although I didn't do anything special, my mood was always relaxed and happy, and the time passed very quickly.
When the two got off the car, it was already 13:15, Chen Ziqiao couldn't tell what was going on, he looked around the set, and asked, "Where is Leo?"
Gu Xin was surprised that he actually looked for the figure of the blood race, but he still said truthfully: "He was with Ma Guangqi just now, maybe he went shopping."
When Chen Ziqiao saw Leo's luggage on the seat, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his thoughts were absurd...how could dreams be unified with reality?But it would be even better if he could break his delusion with facts.
In the distance, Ma Guangqi asked, "You...don't you say goodbye to Brother Qiao?"
Leo pushed his sunglasses, looking expressionless, "No, he wakes up, it's enough for me to see him one last time."
"I have to leave immediately. The Pearl Gate is in my hands...and Luke won't be willing to go with me. If I stay here for a long time, it will only cause him trouble."
Ma Guangqi didn't speak.
Leo asked: "Are you following me, or staying with Luke?"
Ma Guangqi thought for a while, "I want to stay."
……
Afternoon, 1:45.
The rain gradually increased.
Chen Ziqiao made a detour by accident and passed by Jiang Xinlei.He had met Li Jia in the morning. That woman had a pretty face and a good figure.The reason for not being famous is also obvious. First, bad luck. Second, it is due to personality. Who is not a star who really stands out in the entertainment industry who is not full of desire to express himself, and has the courage and confidence to surpass ordinary people?
Li Jia is like a shadow, and her sense of presence is not even comparable to those young and cheerful girls working behind the scenes of the crew.
Chen Ziqiao suddenly noticed a detail, and before he realized it, he had already greeted him, "Hello."
Li Jia was flattered, "Ah, Brother Qiao, good afternoon."
Chen Ziqiao pointed to her wrist, "Are you injured?"
Li Jia covered the wound with her sleeve in embarrassment, "Two days ago, I accidentally met a mentally ill person. I'm not scolding him. He is really not in a normal state of mind. He bit a lot of people passing by. Uh... maybe Are you on drugs?"
Chen Ziqiao: "Oh."
Li Jia was apprehensive and looked at him excitedly.
This kind of performance made Chen Ziqiao a little dumbfounded. He encouraged and said: "Come on, don't look at anyone with such eyes, because you are no worse than others. What you lack may be to unlock the last shackles that lock yourself."
"What do you mean?" Li Jia was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm a bit stupid..."
Chen Ziqiao waved his hand, "Oh, no, to be a star you must have an aura that makes everyone look at you. That kind of aura is not easy to cultivate at the beginning, after all, not everyone is so confident. But you must have Abandon all consciousness and try."
Lucifer suddenly appeared behind Chen Ziqiao, he looked at Li Jia's admiring and grateful eyes towards Chen Ziqiao, frowned slightly, and took Chen Ziqiao away.
Li Jia still couldn't help looking in Chen Ziqiao's direction. She almost thought that all celebrities were like Jiang Xinlei, although they were beautiful, they were defiant, but Chen Ziqiao was obviously not.
On the other side, Jiang Xinlei was resting in the nanny's car. Even when it was her turn to play, she still refused to get out of the warm and comfortable car, "I won't go! It's raining outside, and it's getting heavier and heavier. Do you want me to go out?" Rain? It should have been like I said, don’t come to the set today at all!”
my aunt!The assistant wailed in her heart, trying to persuade Jiang Xinlei in different ways.
Jiang Xinlei threw the blindfold on her angrily, "And the crazy man I met today, he didn't even look at me, he just looked at Chen Ziqiao, are they gay? It must be, it's disgusting!"
"Sister Xinlei, you really don't want to go, why don't you let Li Jia stand for you for a while? I know that Chen Ziqiao made you unhappy today, and we can let Li Jia punish him by the way. But if you say you don't want to act, the director won't do it. Crazy? Besides you, who else in the crew can be the lead actress?"
Jiang Xinlei's attitude finally relaxed, she said: "Okay."
Afternoon, 2:15.
The director called to stop, and the filming ended. Chen Ziqiao took the thermal equipment from Ma Guangqi, and handed it to Li Jia in a gentlemanly manner.
Li Jia quickly waved her hand, "No, no need, Brother Qiao, you can use it yourself, don't catch a cold, fans will be sad."
Chen Ziqiao said with a smile: "I have other warm items here, we are all in the same crew, you are welcome."
Li Jia was very moved.
Although the reality and the dream partly coincided, it was not unexpected for Jiang Xinlei to use a double in the rainy day. What's more, Li Jia did not act like in the dream, deliberately nagging him in order to drag him down.
Li Jia couldn't hide her smile, and cherished the thick scarf and baby warmer that Chen Ziqiao gave him, but saw Jiang Xinlei's assistant staring at her with a straight face.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Susan appeared in front of Chen Ziqiao and the others, and she said to Lucifer, "I want to talk to you."
Chen Ziqiao accidentally knocked over the hot drink, Gu Xin and Ma Guangqi immediately jumped up, Lucifer turned sideways to block the sight of outsiders, and healed Chen Ziqiao.Those actors, crew members, production directors and directors who were close friends with Chen Ziqiao all came to care.
Chen Ziqiao forced a smile, "It's okay, the autumn and winter clothes are thick, so they haven't been ironed."
The director said: "Zi Qiao, I see that you don't look quite right, why don't you go home and rest."
The others also tried to persuade him, but Chen Ziqiao waved his hands persistently. The crowd couldn't resist him, and while sighing at Chen Ziqiao's professionalism, they offered him emergency medical tools.
Originally, Chen Ziqiao's situation was not serious, let alone with Lucifer around, but in order to avoid confusion, he still took Lucifer and Susan away, and Ma Guangqi had the cheek to follow behind.
"What's the matter with you?" Chen Ziqiao asked.
Susan looked as embarrassed as in his dream.
Susan pursed her lips, "You don't want me to appear...are you afraid of me?"
"You are looking for Lucifer, you want him to protect you?"
Susan finally showed a surprised face, even Lucifer looked sideways at Chen Ziqiao, he saw the tightly clenched fists on Chen Ziqiao's legs, he was so hard that the veins on the back of his hands twitched.
Lucifer leaned over and held Chen Ziqiao's hand. His expression was gentle and his words were strong, which infected Chen Ziqiao and gradually calmed down.
Lucifer stared at Chen Ziqiao, and said solemnly: "No matter what happens, you don't need to worry too much, because I will be by your side."
Faced with Lucifer's comfort, Chen Ziqiao found it difficult to lose his composure, he smiled, "Okay."
Susan put away her original nonchalant attitude, "Why do you know?"
Chen Ziqiao rubbed his forehead, while Lucifer said beside him: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."
"No, like you said, it's nothing important, I was dreaming, dreaming that you were looking for Lucifer."
This was the second time Chen Ziqiao mentioned his real name, Susan glanced at Lucifer, but didn't ask any further questions.
Susan sighed: "Indeed, there's nothing wrong with it. Ziqiao, let me tell you from the standpoint of someone who has experienced it, if you have supernatural powers and you are a blood race, then you will be much smoother in the future. At least I will find Lucy Mr. Phil's negotiating leverage has taken a lot less weight."
Chen Ziqiao frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Since you already know my reason for coming, I don't need to cover up. I want to cooperate with you. I am willing to explain all the conspiracies I know about the ancients. But I also hope that you can protect me."
Ma Guangqi was very excited: "The conspiracy of the ancient blood clan? What do you know? Why do you know? Have you become their accomplice?"
"Instead of listening to you yelling like this, why don't you listen to me? Perhaps, what I know is what you want."
Chen Ziqiao fell silent.He himself was greatly impacted. He always thought that he was an ordinary human being, but he never thought that such a cognition would be subverted one day.He once changed from a blood race back to a human being. Now, is he developing in the direction of a blood race again?What's the point?
Seeing that none of the three people in front of her responded, Susan further said, "Why didn't you consider my proposal? Ziqiao, I used to be your manager. I admit that I took care of you because of my wrong relationship with Fan Chengzhang. Not enough. But when you're in danger, I'm always by your side."
She went on to say to Lucifer: "I can see your protection for him. Based on this, at least our position is the same, isn't it? There is a saying in China, 'It is easy for all to support one tree, but it is difficult for one tree to support'. You can understand that."
Ma Guangqi has always been uneasy about this woman, "Don't be easily confused by her. I know that she used to be a subordinate of the modern prince, and then served the ancients. Her identity is too obscure. If you don't find out her real purpose, Don't let her get close to us!"
Lucifer looked at Susan with calm eyes, but Susan felt some kind of indescribable coercion in such gaze, she tried her best to straighten her chest, and said awe-inspiringly: "Ma Guangqi, you have the same strength as me. Identity, if you can think calmly now, you can understand my situation. Did you voluntarily become a blood race? Did you stand here and act as Zi Qiao's assistant from the very beginning? ?”
Ma Guangqi was speechless.
Susan looked cold, and after a while, she said again: "Don't you want to know why human beings approved by the blood coagulant can become blood races, if not, there is a high chance that the first embrace will fail. We are the chosen human beings—you Do you really believe what those elders said?"
Susan noticed Lucifer's gaze, and asked strangely: "Is there anything special about this woman?"
Lucifer took a meaningful look at Jiang Xinlei's nanny car, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just prepared a gift, thank you for the heroine's concern for Zi Qiao."
