The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1405 Confused
"At that time, the entire crew was ready and could start filming at the director's command. We were all waiting for the male lead to arrive, but he disappeared and could not be found anywhere."

"You know, that's a prison!"

"Although the prison agreed to the crew's filming, our activity area was limited and we couldn't move around freely, but we couldn't find the whereabouts of the protagonist of the movie. The whole crew was dumbfounded."

"Where did Anson go?"

"You can imagine my panic."

Even now when Cody thinks back on it, he still feels scared, let alone at that time?

Cody vaguely remembered that he was running around like a headless fly but still got nothing. In the midst of his panic, it was Reese who gave him an inspiration.

Originally, Reese's filming had been completed and she could leave; but Reese still followed the crew all the way to Folsom Prison.

Here, the crew planned to spend two days shooting the remaining scenes, putting an end to the entire film project and declaring it complete. The end was at hand, and Reese didn't want to miss the final journey, so she went along.

In the confusion, Reese remembered the meeting room——

Although it was not a space in the prison open to the crew, the warden welcomed the crew there, and it was completely cleared out today in preparation for filming.

Fortunately, there were no staff or strangers staying there. If Anson wanted a quiet space, it would obviously be the best choice.

Sure enough, Cody and Reese found the missing actor in the meeting room.

There was a window in the reception room with iron bars. Looking through the window, you could see Anson sitting on a bench, strumming the strings of a guitar.

"Anson!"

Cody knocked on the door of the reception room, and the door panels clanged. The sound reverberated in the space, but Anson did not look up at all. He just lowered his head, his face full of concentration, and all his mind seemed to be on the strings, which stunned Cody.

He continued to shout a few more times, but Anson still didn't respond. It was obvious that Anson could hear him but just didn't want to pay attention. This stumped Cody.

How to do?
Cody could only look to Reese for help.

Reese's expression was serious. She also called out, but there was no response either.

After thinking for a moment, Reese called out again, "John, Johnny!"

Anson, who was completely absorbed in the situation, seemed to be obsessed again. Reese tried to grab Anson's attention, but failed this time.

Anson, still no response.

Reese patted Cody's shoulder, "You keep an eye on him here, I'll be right back."

When Reese showed up with Lucas, Cody had shouted himself hoarse.

Watching Anson the whole time, Cody was a little scared. Not just worried, but also had a chilling fear, as if he saw with his own eyes the devil taking over Anson's body. No matter how he shouted or made noise, nothing could reach Anson's ears. Anson's soul seemed to be floating on another planet. This thought made Cody uneasy.

Lucas appeared panting, but did not rush to shout. Since Cody and Reese's shouting failed to attract Anson's attention, it would be useless even if someone else was called.

Moreover, this is a prison. You just need to notify the prison guard or the warden. All the doors have keys, so you just need to open the door. There is no need to worry at all.

What really worries Lucas is Anson's condition.

The Anson in front of them was not only immersed in the role, otherwise they should have been able to attract Anson's attention by calling Johnny Cash; now Anson seemed to have entered another space, letting his thoughts explore in the endless nothingness. This state was full of uncertainty.

A shadow of gloom hung tightly over Lucas' heart.

"Silence, all of you!"

Lucas finally spoke, stopping everyone and making the world quiet again.

If you listen carefully, you can catch the melody that Anson is humming softly - hum, hum hum hum...

Light and gentle, quiet and sad, it seems that one can see the soul slowly breaking apart, floating in the endless darkness, and gradually disappearing.

Cody was stunned, and so was Reese.

They had just seen Anson so excited that they didn't think much about it even though they noticed Anson playing the guitar. They were so eager to get Anson's attention that they didn't notice the notes coming from deep in Anson's throat.

So, Anson…is making music?
Wait, no way, Anson left the entire crew busy in Folsom Prison and disappeared alone, only to end up creating in the meeting room?
This sounds so outrageous, like a joke that can't be laughed at.

But Cody quickly came to his senses, and he remembered the situation before the start of "Sing Along with the Song" -

The scene before me seemed familiar.

So, because of Lucas's actions, Cody calmed down and listened attentively.

There are no lyrics, just the melody.

No singing, only humming.

Everything was quiet and resolute. Regardless of the coldness of Folsom Prison or the turbulent disturbances from outside, they were just immersed in their own world.

"Ah... No-Time... Ah..."

Gently, it pulls at the heart. Even though no force is used, it makes people breathless. The wound hidden deep in the soul is torn again by accident.

Pain slowly spread as Anson hummed softly, and in the blink of an eye it lingered throughout his chest, dragging his soul down from the height of the universe.

Fall, and fall again.

The loss of control of free fall dragged the soul into endless darkness, but in the howling wind, it was stunned and tears streamed down its face.

A kind of sadness, a kind of confusion, a kind of loss.

They lost their way in the vast universe. Standing in front of the grandeur and vastness, they deeply felt their own insignificance and insignificance. The mighty power of time and space overwhelmed them.

Standing before him, in the meeting room, was it Anson? Johnny? Or a wounded and lost soul in the universe?
Lucas didn't need to explain any more. Cody, Reese, and the others who arrived later all fell silent and stared blankly at the scene before them.

The warden followed and brought the key.

But Lucas stopped the warden, "Excuse me, can you give me a moment?"

No one else understands.

Lucas didn't know how to explain, "Anson...he needs some space and time now. So he ran here alone. This is his signal. We should be patient and wait a little longer."

"The crew is filming, so you can wait a moment. You guys can leave first. I'll be here. I'll keep Anson company for a while."

The words were evasive and vague, and it was difficult for Lucas to explain his thoughts clearly.

However, Reese understood.

As Anson's partner, Reese saw everything that happened on the crew during this period.

Reese turned to look at the others, "Let's go, give Anson some space. The filming will not be affected if we wait a little while. We still have time."

At Reese's call, everyone else left, and finally Lucas was the only one left, standing outside the meeting room, looking at Anson quietly.

Anson, still holding the guitar, singing alone.
