This actor is full of tricks.

On the way to school, Lin Jue noticed that there were quite a few shops that held funerals in this area of ​​the county town, with one every few meters on the street.

On the way here, he didn't see any funeral shops. It seemed that all funeral businesses were concentrated on this street.

Do people often die in this area?

Or is it that this is originally a street dedicated to funerals? In some cities, there are indeed such places where an entire street is dedicated to funerals, providing a one-stop service.

Lin Jue noticed that the owner of a funeral shop was sitting at the door smoking. He was about to go up to inquire about the news when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

He stopped suddenly and turned his head to look.

A man wearing a loose black suit and white gloves disappeared around the corner.

It’s He Ping, whom I haven’t seen for a long time!

He had always wanted to contact the other party to ask about the mental hospital, but the other party's phone was always unreachable. He thought that the other party did not listen to him and went to Buming Village. He did not see the other party in Buming Village, but unexpectedly saw this man who was keen on strange events here.

"He Ping! Brother He!" Lin Jue hurriedly chased after him and instantly changed into Li Ge's appearance when no one was paying attention. However, when he reached the corner of the street, the other party had disappeared without a trace.

He took out his cell phone and called the other party again, but still no one answered.

What on earth does this guy do all day?

Lin Jue frowned and put the phone back into his pocket. Having missed the opportunity this time, he didn’t know how long it would take before he could meet the other person again.

He switched back to Zhao Huayu's appearance, turned around and left the corner. Just as he took a step, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

【New script has been refreshed】

Why do I have to refresh the script every time I meet He Ping? Last time I called him, I refreshed the script for Buming Village. This time, when I glanced at him, the script refreshed again. Could it be that that guy is a script radar?
When Lin Jue saw the newly refreshed script information, his pupils suddenly shrank.

[5★ Scenario "Benevolent Father": When the bloody night falls, the benevolent father will be reborn from the ashes.]

The script is just one sentence, but it contains two extremely important messages.

The first is the "benevolent father", which coincides with the "renfu" said by the man's crazy co-worker. In other words, these are the two words that the co-worker said.

But what do these two words mean?
The second message is the ashes.

Lin Jue looked at the flying ashes in the sky that were gradually shrinking, and wondered in his heart whether the so-called rebirth in the ashes referred to these things?

Is Quming County the filming location of this script?
When the night sky is dyed blood-red, a benevolent father will appear in the county. Of course, this benevolent father is definitely not kind, but an extremely terrifying existence, supporting the entire five-star script.

Lin Jue silently clicked on the panel that he had not checked for a long time.

"The three-star script hasn't even finished airing yet, and now a five-star script is coming. Isn't this a step too far?"

Lin Jue shook his head and put the panel away. With his current strength, there was no way he could participate in a five-star script. A five-star script was at least A-level weird, which was a terrifying thing that could subvert the Sanjiang Inspection Bureau.

He glanced at the deserted street and returned to the funeral shop.

This county town is likely the filming location for a five-star script, so you need to ask about anything strange.

The funeral shop owner greeted the customer with a beaming smile. "Are you planning to buy anything? We have paper money for men and women, and paper money in denominations of hundreds of billions. You'll never run out of money if you keep it. I can even give you discounts on luxury cars, villas, and even fighter jets. If you buy a lot, I can even offer a free coffin-carrying service. I guarantee a splendid funeral."

"If you have enough budget, we can also customize a painless cremation service, ensuring there's no chance of anything strange happening! The price is only 9999, and we offer a one-stop service. We also give you a free transparent crystal urn so you can remember the deceased by looking at the cremation."

"Our aim is to give peace of mind to the deceased and to reassure their loved ones."

The boss spoke a lot in one breath without any pause, leaving Lin Jue no chance to interrupt.

People working in the funeral industry are already so competitive now, and what is painless cremation service?
"I'm not buying anything." Hearing Lin Jue say that he wasn't buying anything, the smile on the boss's face immediately disappeared. He looked Lin Jue up and down and said, "Then why did you come to the funeral shop for no reason?"

Lin Jue took out the cigarettes he had bought before coming here and passed one to the other person: "I'm an outsider and I'm planning to stay here. But I see there are a lot of funeral shops around here, so I'm a little curious why people in your business are all concentrated here?"

The boss took the cigarette, took a puff, and then said, "Why would you come to live in a dead city like this? This place is dirt poor. There's no business left. All the young people have moved away."

"The people living here are all old people and children. It's normal for the elderly to get sick and die when they get old. But strangely enough, more elderly people die in these streets, so all of us who do funerals come here to open shops."

"Are there more deaths around here?" Lin Jue looked around. The low-rise buildings nearby exuded a gray and gloomy atmosphere, like a group of dying old people.

"Did they all die of illness or old age? Didn't they die from other accidents?"

"Of course, old people will always die at a certain age. This is a very normal thing. Maybe it's just that this place is remote and there are relatively more elderly people living here. The base number is large, so it feels like more people die than in other places." The boss didn't think there was anything strange. After finishing his cigarette in two puffs, he started to chase people away.

The boss thought it was normal, but Lin Jue found it very strange. When a probability event occurs in a concentrated manner, it means that there is something controlling it behind the scenes.

Is it related to that five-star script?
