This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

At noon, Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the bed, his breathing steady and long. Every pore on his body exhaled white vapor, as if a furnace was burning fiercely inside him.

This was the "Tempering Fire Art," a reward he received upon completing his first guided script. It had three levels, and it seemed that cultivating it to the extreme would allow him to control flames.

Such a thing would have been a fantastical event in his previous life on Blue Star, but in this world, it seemed quite normal.

There are already paranormal events, so there's nothing wrong with a transmigrator like me cultivating a technique, right?

An hour later, the white mist in the room violently retracted into his body.

"The first level of the Tempering Fire Art is Kindling Flame, which allows one to attach flames to weapons..."

He picked up a fruit knife from the dining table, and clusters of flames instantly covered the entire blade. He slammed the knife down, and the wooden dining table hissed, emitting thick black smoke.

A knife mark two fingers deep was left on the tabletop, and the exposed surface had been charred black by the flames.

Lin Jue casually flicked his wrist, and the flames on the fruit knife instantly extinguished. His eyes were deep and thoughtful: "According to the system's introduction, the Tempering Fire Art's flames are extremely strong and yang, and have an extremely strong restraining effect on evil."

"Could the paranormal also be considered evil?"

"Can this technique allow me to survive in the upcoming plot?"

He walked to the window. The fog outside was getting thicker and thicker, completely obscuring pedestrians. Vague, strange figures seemed to be looming in the mist.

...

Three days later, in the morning, Lin Jue had just finished washing up when the system's voice sounded.

【Plot Three: The first course of medicine has been finished, but the mother and son have not come to the clinic again. Out of the doctor's merciful heart, you decide to go to where they live to take a look. Please have the actor start filming as soon as possible.】

【Obtained Item: Medicine】

Is this the last plot of this script?

Lin Jue picked up his backpack from the sofa, put the white medicine jar given by the system into the bag, thought for a moment, and then picked up the fruit knife and put it in as well.

He took out the medical record from his pocket, which contained the young man's information.

【Li Cheng, sixteen years old, high school student at Sanjiang Middle School】

【Home Address: Xiangyanghua Residential Complex, Building 3, Unit 305】

Xiangyanghua Residential Complex...

Lin Jue picked up his phone and entered the name of the residential complex into the navigation.

The complex was not far away, only a kilometer away, and the recommended route included a direct bus.

He looked out the window. Today was a sunny day, and there was no fog outside. The bus should be running.

As he went out, he glanced at his neighbor's house. The door was opened a crack, and the middle-aged man seemed to be peeking at him through the crack.

As Lin Jue passed by, he stuck out a foot and closed the door. A muffled groan came from inside, and the man's head seemed to have been hit.

"With the appearance of the mist, normal people seem to have become abnormal."

"I've seen this man twice, and both times he only opened the door a crack, as if he didn't want people to see inside. Does he have a secret in his house?"

"Could there be his wife's corpse inside?"

Lin Jue was lost in thought as he walked down the stairs. He summoned the clinic doctor's outfit from the system backpack.

When he walked out of the building, he had already transformed into the character he was playing, Doctor Zhou Yue.

Because it was a sunny day, there were obviously more people on the road. Cars waiting at red lights, office workers crossing the street, mothers holding their children's hands, everything looked almost the same as his previous life on Blue Star.

He walked to the nearest bus stop and waited for less than five minutes before the bus to Xiangyanghua Residential Complex slowly pulled into the station.

There weren't many people on the bus, and everyone was unusually quiet, looking preoccupied.

In this world with paranormal events, everyone lived as if walking on thin ice.

He chose a seat and sat down. In less than five minutes, the bus stopped outside Xiangyanghua Residential Complex.

This was also an old-fashioned complex. The security guard at the entrance was lazily lying on a recliner, basking in the sun, dozing off.

Lin Jue found Building 3, walked up the stairs to the third floor, and found Room 305.

He was about to knock on the door when it was opened. It was the mother who opened the door. She was slightly stunned when she saw Lin Jue: "Doctor Zhou? What brings you here?"

"I saw that you hadn't come to the clinic to get medicine, so I thought I'd come to take a look. Didn't I say I could deliver the medicine to your door?"

"After all, a doctor has a benevolent heart. I can't bear to see my patients suffer from the torment of illness."

Lin Jue spoke with sincerity. He had completely immersed himself in the role of Doctor Zhou Yue. His actor-level performance showed no flaws.

"Doctor Zhou is really... I don't know how to thank you enough." The mother was very moved. She opened the door and invited Lin Jue in, while sadly saying, "That child has been locking himself in his room since yesterday, not eating or drinking. No matter how much I call him, he won't come out."

Saying that, she walked to a door at the far end of the room, knocked on the door, and said softly, "Li Cheng, Doctor Zhou is here to see you."

There was no movement inside.

"Let me try." Lin Jue walked over and shouted loudly, "Li Cheng, I'm Doctor Zhou. If you have any problems, you can tell me, and I will help you."

There was still no movement in the room, but after a while, the door opened a crack, and Li Cheng's voice came from inside: "You can only come in alone."

Lin Jue and Li Cheng's mother exchanged a glance, then he pushed the door open and went in, locking the door behind him.

The room was small and simply decorated, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk.

At this moment, Li Cheng was sitting on the desk with his legs curled up, his whole body like an ostrich, burying his head in his legs.

Ostriches only bury their heads in the sand when they encounter danger.

"Why are you sitting on the desk?" Lin Jue was a little strange. How could a normal person sit on a desk?

"It's safe here." There was fear in Li Cheng's voice.

Safe?

Lin Jue looked strange, looking at the desk next to the window. How could this place be safe? If you're not careful, you might fall downstairs.

He sat on the bed, organizing his words, and said, "Do you think your mother is abnormal?"

"You think so too?" Li Cheng finally raised his head. His eyes were dark, and he probably hadn't slept well recently.

"Where would a normal person think that fresh blood would be green? And no normal person would think that if blood turns green, a clinic doctor could cure it."

Lin Jue's words made Li Cheng stunned: "Then why did you at the time..."

Lin Jue pushed his glasses, looking extremely professional: "According to my judgment as a professional doctor, your mother should have a problem in her mental state, which is why she has this kind of situation. I just went along with her words at the time because I didn't want to stimulate her."

Li Cheng looked like he had met a confidant, hesitant, his eyes constantly glancing at the door, as if he had something to say, but was afraid of being overheard.

"It's okay, just say what you want to say. The door is closed, and if you speak quietly, your mother won't hear you."

"Okay..." Li Cheng gritted his teeth: "Actually, I don't think that's my mother."
