The Chainsaw Massacre

As soon as the idea popped up, Jiang Luo thought it was feasible, very feasible.

So here's the question.

How's he gonna get Chi You to go up against the faceless monster?

A ready-made solution for Jiang Luo is to make Chi You his scapegoat, just like Zhang Feng.

But to make Chi You his scapegoat, you have to hug, kiss, and exchange ...... bodily fluids.

Shit.

Jiang Luo's expression froze.

He remembered the damaging trigrams he had calculated earlier.

Is this what it means to lose your own interests in order to gain a countervailing position?

...... This may not be too damaging.

Whether to bite the bullet, use this method to disgust Chi You, and then take advantage of him. Or find another way?

Kissing an evil spirit was horrible, especially with a madman like Chi You, and Jiang Luo couldn't imagine the two of them exchanging bodily fluids. But if Jiang Luo were to give up this opportunity, he would not be willing to do so.

He bites slowly on his cigarette, his teeth making a neat ring of teeth marks.

What to do?

In the midst of his indecision, the hateful face of Chi You crossed Jiang Luo's mind.

He made up his mind instantly.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

Since the evil spirit had dared to tease him like that, he was going to retaliate back even more disgustingly.

The assistant drove the car and picked them up in front of the hospital.

The general director was sitting on the passenger side, still in a trance, not having regained his senses from the conversation he had just had, "Master, what is a faceless, faceless monster?"

"A kind of ghost that is afraid of light and appears only in the dark," Jiang Luo said, "where there is no light, you can never be sure where it has gotten to, and even in the moment of darkness it may pass through your heart."

"Since it can't show itself in the light, and the shadows of the four Li Zhen have disappeared into thin air, I suspect that the faceless monster is the product of something they summoned and mingled with their shadows."

It made sense, but the director couldn't understand a word of it.

The assistant in the driver's seat fidgeted, "Maestro, director, there is one thing ......"

The general director urged, "Don't stutter, just say what you have to say."

The assistant gulped, "Master is on the hot seat."

The people in the car froze, and Jiang Luo felt a bad mood rising, "Who's on the hot seat?"

The assistant said stiffly, "You."

Jiang Luo: "......"

Wasn't his only footage the one or two minutes he appeared on Fu Wei's live stream?

The assistant explained, "You asked us to handle this matter, in fact, before you even spoke to us, I had already sent people to suppress the news, stopped the live broadcast at the first time, and deleted the replay video, and the comments were controlled under the official blog, with only a few screenshots circulating on the internet. Originally it was just a small spread, it couldn't turn over many splashes, but we didn't expect that there would be a first tier star coming to back you up."

Jiang Luo twitched between his eyebrows and opened his phone, and the first item on the hot search list was # Bai Qiu backing up his brother.

When he saw the title, Jiang Luo had trouble breathing. He clicked in and saw Bai Qiu's microblog.

@ Bai Qiu: Is this how my brother was bullied on your show? He participated in "Next Stop, Idol", but he didn't get a single shot in any of the main movies, his voting channel wasn't even open, and everyone didn't even know his name. If it wasn't for this live event, how far would he have been "hidden"? Is this what you call fairness? Next Idol, please give me a positive explanation!

The accompanying images are two screenshots of Jiang Luo in the live stream.

It's not often that Bai Qiu dislikes someone so rigidly, but when she strikes this pose, it's proof that she's going to pursue the matter to the end.

A few days ago, Bai Qiu was in the hot seat for several days because of her manager's crime. Many netizens were mesmerized by her strong personality, making Bai Qiu a big fan.

After the agent incident, Bai Qiu went into the group to shoot the movie, grasping the time to make up for the loss she had lost before, and this is the first time since the agent incident that she has used such a strong tone to speak out on social media platforms.

Bai Qiu was indeed angry.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Luo is her savior. She has tried to invite Jiang Luo into the entertainment industry many times, half because Jiang Luo is really suitable to stand under the public's eye and be chased by the limelight and spotlight, and half because she wants to return the favor.

But Jiang Luo didn't like the entertainment industry, so she had to give up. But Bai Qiu was not lying when she said, "If you need me, I will do my best to help you". When she found out that Jiang Luo had participated in a talent show, she was surprised and happy, but the next moment she learned about Jiang Luo's current situation, Bai Qiu's anger immediately flared up.

Once again, she used her contacts.

No one dares to underestimate Bai Qiu's connections. Starting with the artists signed by her studio, more and more artists retweeted this tweet of hers.

The tone of voice is either serious, euphemistic, or critical ...... nature all questioning the fair nature of "Next Stop, Idol", and the news is flying around the internet.

Someone from the staff of "Next Stop, Idol" has already come out anonymously and admitted that they did cut all the footage about the trainee, but it was requested by the chief director and mastermind.

The general director almost blacked out and fainted after reading the comments online scolding him.

The assistant was in tears, "Master, this time it really wasn't that we weren't prepared, we didn't expect it to come to this."

Jiang Luo : "...... don't blame you guys."

His mouth was bitter.

Jiang Luo looked over the screenshots that were circulating online, and luckily, he only appeared in the live stream for a short moment, during which he avoided his face. Although it was him in these screenshots, there were only a few angles in total, and the picture quality was a bit blurry.

Pictures like this should be eliminated from the internet soon.

But Jiang Luo has underestimated himself.

The further blurring of the picture quality only made the black-haired youth in the screenshot look as if it was covered in a layer of filters, looking as if it was glowing with a faint light. The movement of picking his lips and waving his hand was made into a motion picture, and the beautiful and dashing air in the raised hand was incredibly appealing to the eye.

Jiang Luo flipped through the comments, in the comments, he was imagined by netizens as a small poor by the other trainees and the program team arbitrarily flattened and kneaded, the netizens were furious, determined that he was bullied to the extent that he could not even eat enough to eat ......

There are also some who are purely kowtowing to the face, making noise under the official blog, trying to get the show to release more material about him.

"......" Jiang Luo said, "I'll explain to Bai Qiu."

He called Bai Qiu and stretched his forehead, his head aching to organize his words.

Soon, the phone was picked up by the other party. Bai Qiu's voice with anger came out, "Master, don't worry, I'll take charge of this matter for you, I'll definitely bring you justice."

Jiang Luo: "Actually I--"

"I originally wanted to recommend you to this talent show, I didn't expect this program to be so trashy," remembering this, Bai Qiu was so furious that her blood pressure rose, she said forcefully, "Master, don't worry, even if you can't stay in this program, I can still take this opportunity to push you to the public and make you a successful debut!"

"Wait a minute," Jiang Luo spluttered, "I'm not trying to make a debut."

Bai Qiu was dumbfounded, "What?"

Jiang Luo sighed and explained, "I came into the program to fix things for them."

They are all smart people, when he said this, Bai Qiu immediately reacted. She then realized that she seemed to have made a mistake, Bai Qiu froze for a while, before saying in a weak voice: "Then I have misunderstood?"

The director was so anxious that he said beside him, "Bai Qiu ah, the master is going to withdraw from the competition after dealing with the matter, you made it into this state now, let me how can I do?"

Bai Qiu snapped, and opened her cell phone to see that the number of artists who had retweeted her tweets had reached twenty or thirty, and the heat was still soaring.

"Done." She muttered.

For the rest of the movie, the director and Bai Qiu discussed how to deal with the accident. Given that the director was photographed taking Zhang Feng to the hospital, the two of them finally decided to use the fact that Jiang Luo was not feeling well and was planning to withdraw from the competition, and that the director's team had discarded his footage because of this as the reason.

But that reason can't be taken out now.

Due to the pressure of public opinion, the program team can only open the voting channel for Jiang Luo first, and then release the news of Jiang Luo's withdrawal due to his health after the sound waves have calmed down.

This reasoning, even if a bit far-fetched, is one of the best that can be thought of at the moment.

The director and Bai Qiu had harmonized their remarks, and Jiang Luo had watched the whole thing, knowing that he didn't have to intervene, so he lazily put down his heart.

But the heart just put down, a side of swiping the phone Lu Youyi shocked: "finished Jiang Luo, Qin Fan also retweeted Bai Qiu's microblogging."

Jiang Luo froze, his forehead protruding twice, and picked up his cell phone.

Qin Fan sure enough sent out a tweet.

He has more followers than Bai Qiu, and in just a few moments, the number of retweets and comments reached scary levels.

[@ Qin Fan : His name is Jiang Huan and he is a very good trainee. I have to say, I like him a lot. I hope the program team treats every trainee fairly and doesn't let the pearl drown in the sand.]]

Qin Fan, a big name mentor invited by Next Stop, Idol, said such words that implied questioning the program. Whether it's for the sake of fairness or just for the sake of this trainee named Jiang Huan, the news media smelled something different.

Especially the meaning of Qin Fan's words - "I like him a lot" - is enough to make his fan circle agitated.

In the eyes of the onlookers, Qin Fan was speaking out for justice and expressing her love for the trainee.

In Jiang Luo's eyes, this is like a big trouble, the frost that must be added to the snow.

Ye Xun sighed, "The timing of his blog post was too coincidental. Didn't Qin Fan know that we were new trainees? The program that aired before wouldn't have had any footage of us in the first place, or did he know about the director's team cutting all of our footage afterward?"

Qin Fan's move seems to have poured oil on the fire, putting Jiang Luo, who was already in danger, on the receiving end.

Jiang Luo listened to Ye Xun's words for a moment, then suddenly laughed coldly twice and started searching for Qin Fan's photos.

This familiar tactic of pushing the envelope reminds Jiang Luo of a certain evil spirit.

However, Qin Fan had personally drunk his talismanic water, which made him subconsciously overlook Qin Fan when he suspected who Chi You was earlier.

What he thought before was, could it be that Chi You would rather endure the pain and drink the talismanic water in order for him to lose?

But then again, it's unlikely that this would happen to anyone else, but it makes sense to put it on that crazy person. After all, Chi You was once able to laugh out loud when Jiang Luo made him so weak.

Jiang Luo clicked on one of Qin Fan's smiling photos, zoomed in on the lips, and carefully observed Qin Fan's lips.

Lu Youyi consoled him, "It's alright, that reason just now was good, anyway, we'll leave after we finish the faceless monster, no one will remember you in a few months."

Jiang Luo said absentmindedly, "You're right."

He compared Qin Fan with the lips of the one Chi You had once sent him, and there was a fifty percent resemblance. He searched for Fu Wei's photo again, zoomed in similarly, and observed his lips.

But such photos have been so finely honed and frosted that even the lips of the two look somewhat similar.

Jiang Luo looked at the two photos with his eyelids hanging down.

His gaze held ice, but there was little expression on his face, his head propped up in a slight laziness, his eyes ghostly.

*

In a small, run-down Internet cafe.

The owner was soaking up some noodles when three shadows came down over the front of the counter, and he looked up to see a grinning, sickly man saying, "Boss, open three machines for us."

Behind Sick Boy stood two other strange people, these two wore duck hats, but one seemed to be bald, and the other had long hair down to his waist and an off-the-wall fox mask.

The owner froze, and the sickly man knocked good-naturedly on the counter, "Boss?"

"Ohhhhhh," the owner booted them up, "minimum one hour to start, three dollars an hour, twenty overnight, how long do you need?"

Sick Boy rubbed his chin, "Overnight, I guess."

The long-haired, masked man spoke incredulously, "All night?"

His voice was slightly shrill, like some kind of animal, and it was uncomfortable to listen to.

The owner shot them another quiet glance.

Sick Boy's smile remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard his companion's words, "Boss, is the machine on?"

The owner was busy handing them the cards, "Okay, okay. machines 13-15."

The three of them found their own machines and sat down, and the sickly Liao Si helped Hua Li turn on the computer.

Hua Li hugged his arms, his face as black as ink, "Liao Si, why did we come to the internet cafe to vote for Jiang Luo."

Liao Si shook his finger, "Hua Li, we don't just want to vote for Jiang Luo, we also want to act as a water army, so that the program that cut his footage will learn from its mistakes and not make them again."

Hua Li said grimly, "So why are we doing this."

Ge Wuchen on the side had already skillfully turned on the computer, a faint smile appeared on her pretty features, "Hua Li, you are always so stupid, I sometimes really wonder why the master accepted your defection."

Hua Li: "You--"

"Hey, don't argue," Liao Si said, "Register a few accounts and vote for Jiang Luo."

Hua Li did not move, Ge Wuchen opened the game webpage, gave himself an id of "I Nim dad", and said diffidently: "The master's lover is on the program, we have to show our sincerity by voting for him all night as a water army."

Hua Li abruptly stiffened, "Master's lover?!"

Liao Si sighed and looked at Hua Li compassionately, "Hua Li, don't you see how special your master is to Jiang Luo?"

Rigid as stone Hua Li muttered, "But didn't the master almost kill him several times?"

"You know it's close," Liao Si said, "We'd better not think anything bad about Jiang Luo until he's dead, and as for him if he does get killed by his master ...... "

He smiled, cold and unfeeling turning slightly at the corners of his mouth, "And it doesn't stop us from showing him intimacy now."

They show closeness when it's time to show closeness, but they wouldn't hesitate for half a second if one day their master asked them to kill Jiang Luo.

After all, they're rotten to the core, aren't they?

*

After returning to the recording location, the director told Jiang Luo to go back and rest for them, forcing a smile, "Don't worry, Master, Ms. Bai Qiu and I will definitely take care of this."

Jiang Luo smiled faintly, "Hard work."

He pulled out two talismans from his body and handed them to the director and his assistant, "These are the two peace talismans I wrote, the utility isn't too good, but it's better than nothing, please accept them."

Ye Xun silently said, "There is no one more useful than the talisman you wrote."

The director had heard of things in the metaphysical world, and knew that a talisman in the metaphysical world was hard to come by, and vaguely understood that Jiang Luo's talisman was one in a million. He was so happy that he didn't even dare to politely excuse himself, and put the talisman of peace in his hands, "Thank you, Master!"

The assistant hurriedly followed suit and collected it.

After bidding farewell to the director and the two of them, Jiang Luo quickly walked towards the dormitory building.

"What's wrong with him?" Deadshot asked from behind.

Lu Youyi raised his finger "boo", sighing: "People are afraid of famous pigs are afraid of strong, Jiang Luo this is too good-looking, the heart annoyed."

The dead ghost, not understanding the human mind, frowned, "Isn't it good to be good-looking?"

Ye Xun glanced at him, "It's a good thing. Throughout history, good-looking people have been liked."

The dead ghost was even more confused, "And why was he upset?"

"You don't understand." Ye Xun shook his head.

Humans can be so strange, the dead ghost thought to himself.

Their dormitory was on the third floor, but Jiang Luo's footsteps suddenly lurched as he passed the corner of the second floor.

He looked at the white and smooth wall to his left, which had a slightly yellowish human-shaped mark on it. Jiang Luo frowned and turned back to ask the three people behind him, "Was this on the wall of the second floor before?"

Ye Xun stepped forward and looked carefully, "No."

"I remember when it was raining yesterday, there were such human-shaped marks outside the wall on the first floor," Jiang Luo whispered, "I thought at the time, it was someone who got wet and hit the wall."

"It should be aged, beautiful on the outside but cutting corners on the inside," Ye Xun reached out and placed his hand on the humanoid trace, "slightly damp."

Jiang Luo stood in place for a moment, walking slowly toward the third floor and changing the subject to another topic, "Can you still smell the stench on your bodies?"

The three who have gotten used to the smell: "...... can."

They picked up speed to get back to the dormitory.

Inside the dormitory, Fu Wei was the only one there. He stood on the balcony, leaning on the railing without knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes at him for a moment and raised his steps.

Fu Wei turned around when he heard the voice, his side face cold, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Luo looked at his lips carefully, half a moment later, he hooked his lips and seemed to smile, "Fu Wei, your lip shape looks pretty good."

Fu Wei raised his eyebrows and waited patiently for Jiang Luo to finish his sentence, but Jiang Luo smiled and said, "Smile?"

"......" Fu Wei frowned, "Jiang Huan, are you sick?"

He smelled the odor from Jiang Luo's body and his frown deepened, "Where have you been? Why does it smell so bad."

"Went to a fun place," Jiang Luo shrugged, shaking his wrist bone, "Just a laugh, it's not like I meant anything else. Fu Wei, you know, I don't have a very good temper."

Fu Wei, still grimacing, flashed him a smile.

Jiang Luo asked him to make the corners of his mouth higher and more nervous, and Fu Wei did so. After seeing the final result, Jiang Luo thought about it, smiled and thanked Fu Wei, and took a change of clothes into the bathroom.

It was an extraordinarily long shower.

The water dripped and the sound of a thin stream traveled from the shower to the balcony.

Jiang Luo stopped the water, took a towel to dry his body, changed his clothes and walked out. After the bath, sleepiness followed, he yawned, told Lu Youyi that he wanted to sleep, set the alarm for five o'clock, and put his whole body under the quilt.

Fu Wei slowly walked over to his bedside, "Aren't you nervous about grading again tomorrow?"

He said, "Jiang Huan, you don't look like a trainee."

"Fool," Jiang Luo poked his head out from under the covers, his cheeks reddened by the mist, his eyes bloodshot from staying up all night, but with a charming flavor, he propped up his head and said carelessly, "I stand on the stage, I don't have to do anything, there are a lot of people to vote for me! I don't need to do anything, there will be a lot of people voting for me, do you understand?"

After saying that, he no longer cared about Fu Wei and turned around to sleep.

Fu Wei said to himself, "Also."

*

Jiang Luo prepares to pit Chi You against the faceless monster, but this plan, apparently, can't be told to his companions.

After he woke up, he and his companions deliberately avoided this when discussing ways to deal with the faceless monster.

Everything is ready and waiting for Chi You to call him.

Jiang Luo is not after the right answer this time, but a wrong one. He wanted to deliberately draw Chi You out.

Probably knowing that he was in the dormitory, the evil spirit didn't call Jiang Luo until twelve o'clock at night in the dead of night.

A smile flickered in Jiang Luo's eyes as he walked into the bathroom, "Hello?"

"The second night of the game begins," the evil spirit said gracefully, "have you figured out which one is the real me this evening?"

Jiang Luo said, "The old rules, first send your picture."

A little later, the evil spirit sent Jiang Luo a picture of his left hand.

The fingers were long and slender, and there was a mole so small it was almost invisible on the side palm.

Jiang Luo was on the verge of guessing who he was, and as soon as this photo was sent, he was sure of his speculation. However, he said deliberately, "Fu Wei."

"It is a pity that you have again answered wrong," said the evil spirit in a false manner; "you have been wrong twice, and it displeases me so much that I am going to invite your companions into the game to-night, as spectators to admire you as you are punished."

With those words, the evil spirit hung up the phone.

Jiang Luo let out a "tsk", not being able to tell for a moment if this was a good or bad decision on the part of the evil spirit.

Ye Xun Several people were with him, and they were significantly stronger. But if he let them see Chi You, how else could he victimize Chi You?

He casually pushed the door open and walked out, but the moment he exited the bathroom door, the dormitory in front of him abruptly turned into a hospital room.

Jiang Luo looks down, the clothes he is wearing have turned into a patient's uniform with blue and white stripes.

Another illusion of evil spirits.

But this time the illusion was different from the last one, this time the illusion combined with the regulations of the trainee dormitory building, every part of it was incredibly real, Jiang Luo closed his eyes and walked in the direction of his own bed, surprisingly, he didn't touch anything.

Jiang Luo opened his eyes, the place where the bed had been is now empty.

His heart sank as he cautiously opened the door to the hospital room.

Outside was the hospital corridor, the ghastly white walls and clean tiles littered with blood and bodies cut in half by saws. The bodies were men and women, patients and doctors, their expressions of horror, their intestines scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Luo shifted his gaze and carefully pressed himself against the wall to the left.

He managed to make it all the way to the nurse's desk without meeting a single person, which was also devoid of nurses, with medications thrown all over the place and blood splattered all over his white coat that had been hung on a hanger by who knows who.

The whole hospital looks like the scene of a psychopathic murderer's massacre.

Jiang Luo walks over to the nurses' table and rummages through its contents, finding a scalpel, and a newspaper.

The newspaper reads, "Chainsaw murderer injured in police arrest, admitted to third hospital for emergency treatment."

Jiang Luo's gaze shifted to the sign on the nurse's desk, which read in hot gold lettering, "Three Hospitals.

Jiang Luo: "......"

He looked to the sides and found another line written in blood on the tiles below the nurse's desk.

The person who wrote it should have been very panicked, the strokes scribbled and trembling, the blood half-dried and filled with horror.

"The murderer is dressed as a doctor and he's killed so many people! He's horrible, run!"
