This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

"Ah!!!"

"Fuck! What the hell is this!!!"

The neighbor's man's scream broke the silence of the early morning. Lin Jue calmly held his phone, looking at the missed calls and text messages on it.

The text message was sent yesterday during the day, while the calls were from three days ago.

The text message contained only a short sentence: "Call back immediately."

He opened the photo album, which was full of traces of life, mostly selfies or landscape photos of a middle-aged man. There were also chat records with other people in the communication software, but the last time stamp was three days ago.

Something's wrong, very wrong!

When he played Wang Tianshu before, he was guessing whether this character really existed, but now, judging from this phone, the character is not fictional but a real person.

"Why would they ask me to play a real person? Where are these people now?"

One question after another appeared in Lin Jue's mind. Just as he confirmed one guess, he was met with even more questions.

He really couldn't understand, whether it was this world, the original owner of this body, or the system, they were all very strange.

He exited the communication software, found the text message sent by Xu Xiaoqi, and dialed the number back.

The phone connected after only two rings, and a young male voice came from the other end: "Brother, you've finally deigned to contact me. Weren't you supposed to start work yesterday? Where are you?"

Supposed to start work yesterday?

Lin Jue coughed twice, his voice becoming hoarse and tired: "Sorry, I was just contaminated a few days ago, and I haven't been feeling well. I've been lying at home. Send me an address, I'll be there right away."

"Hurry up. The captain's been in a bad mood these past few days, and this matter of your joining has been a mess. You don't want to offend your immediate superior right after starting work, do you?"

The other party didn't doubt Lin Jue's words and quickly gave an address.

Shuangzhi Avenue, Nancheng District, Sanjiang City.

He didn't give a specific house number, just told Lin Jue to contact him when he arrived.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jue went into the bathroom and changed into Fang Hao's clothes.

A simple black T-shirt and work pants.

In the mirror, his face began to change. The angular lines became rounded, the double eyelids became single eyelids, and there was fine stubble around his mouth.

After putting on gloves and pocketing his phone, he took a few bills from the drawer and went out.

The old man's head that he had thrown into his neighbor's house was gone without a trace. The neighbor's door was tightly closed, as if it had never been opened.

"He didn't call the police? Why?"

Logically speaking, a normal person's first reaction after being frightened by seeing a head would definitely be to call the police.

But this guy, apart from being scared at the beginning, had no follow-up actions.

Is he afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see?

He stared at his neighbor's door for a while before leaving the apartment building and hailing a taxi.

The driver was about the same age as Fang Hao and was very talkative, chatting endlessly about everything under the sun.

This was an excellent reference object.

Lin Jue sat in the back row, listening silently, constantly observing the driver's words and actions through the rearview mirror, adjusting his own eyes and temperament.

"Why does this guy seem like a different person? And why is he staring at me?"

The driver felt a chill down his spine from being stared at. Looking in the rearview mirror, the middle-aged man in the back row, although his features hadn't changed, was completely like two different people compared to when he got in the car. It felt like he was imitating him, giving him the feeling that he was a colleague.

"Could it be that I picked up a Wraith? It can imitate people's expressions and eyes. Once the imitation is successful, will I be contaminated?"

The driver's back was covered in cold sweat. He pursed his lips tightly, not daring to say another word.

As soon as the car arrived at Shuangzhi Avenue, he directly kicked Lin Jue out of the car.

"It must be that Fang Hao's appearance is too fierce, making it easy for people to mistake him for a bad guy…"

Lin Jue sheepishly got out of the car, watching the taxi disappear into the distance.

"It seems I didn't pay… Is it that scary?"

He called Xu Xiaoqi, and the two added each other on Feixin, sharing their location.

Before long, he saw a young man running across the street.

This person looks familiar.

Lin Jue frowned almost imperceptibly. After killing Li Cheng, he had hidden outside the residential area to observe whether anyone specializing in dealing with strange events would come. This young man happened to be among those who came at that time.

What a coincidence?

"Let's go, the people in the team are waiting." Xu Xiaoqi glanced up and down at Lin Jue. The latter's eyes were tired, and it seemed that he was not doing well after being contaminated.

"Let's go, let's go." Lin Jue grinned, pretending to be very familiar with the other party, with a simple and honest look: "Indeed, my body is not feeling well. The contamination of the strange is still too scary."

Xu Xiaoqi said as he walked: "That's right, although lighting up the Spirit Domain can clear the pollution, there are still sequelae. I also wet the bed for three days before I got better."

That might not be a sequela, it's probably inflammation.

"Yes, yes, but what do you mean by lighting up the Spirit Domain?" Lin Jue began to probe. Anyway, Fang Hao is a newbie, so it's normal not to know.

"Didn't I tell you that the first time we met?" Xu Xiaoqi stopped and looked strangely, and then he suddenly realized: "It seems that your sequelae are indeed quite serious, and you even have symptoms of amnesia."

Lin Jue was thinking about how to answer when he heard this, he smiled and nodded in agreement, never expecting that this Xu Xiaoqi would actually be able to figure things out on his own.

Xu Xiaoqi said: "Everyone actually has a Spirit Domain in their minds. You can think of it as undeveloped brain cells, and activating the Spirit Domain is equivalent to activating the undeveloped brain cells. Once activated, you will have all kinds of incredible abilities."

Lin Jue thought of a movie he had watched in his previous life called Lucy, in which the heroine developed the unactivated areas of her brain, thus gaining superpowers. Even as the degree of development increased, the heroine's abilities also increased.

It seems that the so-called lighting up the Spirit Domain is developing the brain.

"Then how can I light up the Spirit Domain? Is it through strange contamination?" Lin Jue then asked. He remembered the introduction of the plot, that Fang Hao lit up the Spirit Domain after experiencing contamination.

"That's right." Xu Xiaoqi nodded: "Contamination is the only way to light up the Spirit Domain. Most people in the world who are contaminated become crazy, but there are also a small number of people who can clear the contamination through their own efforts. And after the contamination is cleared, the Spirit Domain will be lit up."

Contamination is cleared, and the Spirit Domain can be lit up?

Then why didn't I light up the Spirit Domain? Is it because it was cleared by the system, not by myself?

Lin Jue thought in his mind, and then heard Xu Xiaoqi continue to say: "The newly lit Spirit Domain is like a candle, with a weak flame. To strengthen the Spirit Domain, you need to constantly let the strange contaminate yourself, and then constantly clear the contamination, adding fuel to the flame, and finally turning the candle into the sun."

"It's just that this process is very dangerous. After all, if you're not careful, you might really become crazy in a certain contamination, becoming a slave to the strange."

"This is a process where risks and opportunities coexist. Contamination can make a strong person, but it can also completely destroy them."

"Back then, our Night Nether Squad's former captain was completely contaminated when breaking through the fourth level, and ran madly into the mist, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Lin Jue was preparing to ask more about this information, but Xu Xiaoqi stopped the topic and smiled: "We're here."

"New investigator Fang Hao, welcome to the Sanjiang Branch of the Inspectorate."
