This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

The old man's lips stiffened, and he suddenly stalled, as this series of questions had touched upon his blind spot of knowledge.

He was just a nobody in the mist; how could he possibly know such deep secrets?

“Big brother, please change the question. I don't know any of this. I'm just a small, strange creature on the periphery of the mist. I can't access these things at all. You might find answers if you ask those guys deep in the mist.”

The old man wore a bitter face; these questions were indeed stumping him.

Seeing that the other party's expression didn't seem fake, Lin Jue had to change the question: “What are the outer edges of the mist and the depths of the mist that you just mentioned?”

“All the mist that can be seen by you humans, that is, the mist that is now appearing in your cities, is the outer edge of the mist.”

“Only by walking into the mist and continuing to walk inwards can you reach the depths. Among us strange creatures, we also call the depths the dense fog area, and the outer edges the shallow mist area.”

The old man answered quickly this time.

Shallow mist area, dense fog area?

Lin Jue was thoughtful. Listening to the old man, the dense fog area seemed to be another world, and the shallow mist area was the junction between that world and the real world. Only by passing through the junction could one enter that world.

Of course, this was just his speculation. What it was really like could only be known if there was a chance to enter the mist in the future.

“Big brother, I've answered. Let me go.” The old man showed a flattering smile.

Lin Jue glanced at him expressionlessly: “You're not the main body. Are you afraid I'll kill you? At most, the death of this head will weaken your main body's strength a little.”

“Don't worry, I still have questions to ask. I'll let you go after I'm done.”

“Big brother is indeed a big brother, with discerning eyes.” The old man flattered him with a dry laugh. This fawning appearance made it hard to believe that this was a strange creature who killed without batting an eye.

Ignoring this guy's flattery, Lin Jue asked directly: “How is the strength of you strange creatures divided?”

“I don't know that either. The division of strange creature strength should be something you humans did.”

The old man swayed left and right, seemingly shaking his head. He then said: “However, I know that the strength of the strange creatures in the shallow mist area is not particularly strong so far. The strongest guy I encountered before was a blind woman…”

The words stopped abruptly, and the old man suddenly reacted.

That's not right. This guy is also a human powerhouse, so how could he not know such basic things among humans? If he doesn't even know the division of strange creature strength, what kind of powerhouse is he?

“You little brat! You're tricking me!” His wrinkled face was full of resentment. He opened his mouth and flew over, wanting to bite Lin Jue to death.

A fruit knife wrapped in flames directly pierced his brow. Lin Jue pulled out the knife stained with black blood: “You're not too stupid after all.”

“Boy, you wait and see!” The old man let out a piercing scream. The black gas dissipated, and the entire head quickly shriveled down like a deflated ball.

“No need, I'll come find you.” Lin Jue was calm, not caring about this shriveled threat at all.

Afterwards, he picked up the motionless old man's head, walked out the door, and quietly placed it at his neighbor's door.

He couldn't put this thing at home, right? What if people misunderstood him as a murderer? And he couldn't just throw it from a height, as it would easily cause accidental injury.

After thinking about it, it was more appropriate to put it here.

After doing all this, Lin Jue walked back to the room, washed the blood off the fruit knife, washed his hands several times with hand sanitizer, and then cooked himself a bowl of noodles.

After being disturbed by the old man, he was no longer in the mood to go back to sleep.

After finishing the noodles, the sky outside was already faintly bright, and it could be seen that today would be another sunny day.

Forget it, no more rest. Let's take the script.

After thinking about it, Lin Jue summoned the panel and accepted the “Inspector” script.

[1★ Script “Inspector”: Strange events that harm people have been happening frequently in Sanjiang City recently. You will play a trainee inspector responsible for assisting in the investigation of the flying head incident… ]

Trainee inspector, could it be that I need to go to the Inspectorate for an interview?

[Script has been accepted, and clothing props have been distributed to the backpack]

[Please check the character information you will be playing this time]

Lin Jue carefully checked.

[Name: Fang Hao]

[Age: 35]

[Character Positioning: Taxi driver, thirty-five-year-old single, hobbies are watching short videos and smoking]

A taxi driver?

This was a character Lin Jue had never played before, but he knew one characteristic of taxi drivers of this age.

That is, they like to repeat a sentence twice when sending voice messages.

“Brother, where are you? Where are you? I picked up a passenger to the airport today, to the airport. After finishing this order, let's drink together, let's drink together.”

It's about like this. Perhaps playing this character can start from this habit.

However, the hobby aspect is a bit difficult to handle. The main thing is that Lin Jue doesn't smoke, and the finger joints of people who like to smoke are yellow. Even if he starts learning now, his fingers can't be smoked yellow in a short time.

His gaze continued to look down.

[Plot 1: You were originally a taxi driver, but seven days ago, you suddenly encountered the descent of the mist during a ride, and were polluted by strangeness. Therefore, you lit up the spirit realm. Your special ability is that you are very strong. You were valued by the people of the Inspectorate who saved you and invited you to join the Inspectorate as a trainee member… ]

Seven days ago?

Isn't this the time node when Li Cheng said his mother was polluted while going to work?

Polluted by strangeness, lit up the spirit realm, special ability?

Lin Jue's brows furrowed slightly. This should be the extraordinary ability that the mist brings to humans, but what is the connection between pollution and awakening ability? What is that spirit realm?

He couldn't understand it.

The matter of being very strong was still easy to play. He had been practicing Body Tempering Technique for two days in the New Bridge Apartment, and his strength had increased a lot.

He turned his gaze to the system backpack, where four more things appeared.

[Fang Hao suit, hand mold, ID card, mobile phone]

The standard suit that could change his appearance, in addition to two things he hadn't seen before.

Hand mold and mobile phone.

Lin Jue first took out the hand mold. It was like a thin layer of palm skin, with fingerprints and palm lines clearly visible. In the middle of the index finger and ring finger on the right hand, there was a bit of yellowish-brown.

“This prop…”

He put the hand mold on his palm, tightly fitting.

Then he was surprised to find that his fingerprints and palm lines were completely covered by the hand mold, and that bit of yellowish-brown was also a trace that people who like to smoke would have.

“The Inspectorate should verify fingerprints. The fingerprints on this hand mold are Fang Hao's, so my identity won't be exposed when verifying fingerprints.”

Lin Jue roughly understood the function of this prop. This way, he wouldn't have to find an excuse for the lack of smoke stains between his fingers.

The system's preparation was indeed very thorough.

Finally, he took out the mobile phone. The mobile phone was a bit old. It could be seen that this Fang Hao was usually a very thrifty person.

To his surprise, there were actually three missed calls on the mobile phone, and a text message, all from the same person.

The note was “Inspectorate Xu Xiaoqi”.
