I'm a professional villain actor; my fans are begging me not to kill them.

Late at night, when netizens came across the psychopathic killer in "The Hidden Forest," they immediately perked up.

Especially the look in Bai Ye's eyes at the end of the video—cold, infatuated, and with the joy of discovering prey.

It was as if he had locked onto the netizens in front of the screen. Those who met his gaze couldn't help but shudder, as if he would step out of the screen at any moment and give them a massage with that snow-white butcher knife.

Even though they knew it was just a character in a TV series, netizens still felt fear and apprehension.

They disappeared in an instant, and someone pulled the blanket up, burying themselves completely under it.

Throughout the night, the video spread like wildfire, one person telling ten stories, ten telling a hundred, and the reputation of the elegant, deranged killer spread like wildfire.

Bai Ye was woken up by her cell phone ringing the next day.

"Holy crap! Bai Ye, you're famous!" Hao Yun, the assistant director of "The Hidden Forest," shouted excitedly, almost deafening Bai Ye.

As the assistant director of the film crew, Hao Yunqian's work was never very important, and he was not respected by the actors. Most of the time, he was just a handyman.

He originally thought this kind of life would continue for a long time, until one day a sunny and cheerful young man volunteered himself.

Hao Yun.

This name embodies his parents' blessings for him. Hao Yun sometimes jokes that he named himself something he lacked, so where did he get good luck? From birth to adulthood, good luck has been completely absent from his life.

All he wants to say now is, "Mom and Dad, you made the right choice in naming me!"

These past few days, Hao Yun hasn't done anything but watch "The Hidden Forest" online every day to see if the show will become popular. Hey, he actually found one.

"Director Hao, what's going on?"

"I'm sending you a video, take a look right away!" Hao Yun urged Bai Ye anxiously.

Bai Ye was taken aback, turned on the speakerphone, and then clicked on the video Hao Yun had sent.

Holy crap!!

Let alone others, even Bai Ye himself was startled by Lin Dong in the video.

"How's our show going?"

Hao Yun exclaimed excitedly, "It's a hit! The number of views has multiplied several times! The comments are all people checking in and leaving a memento!"

"Did we invite this blogger?"

Hao Yun paused, his voice a little embarrassed, "Well, our production crew is poor, you know what I mean."

Bai Ye understood. "I get it, this is tap water?"

"That's right, let's not talk about that now." Hao Yun awkwardly changed the subject. "You're going to be famous, you know that! Take this opportunity to promote yourself. Director Liu said that if you need any help, just ask!"

"Thank you so much."

"No need to thank me, we should be thanking you! Anyway, hurry up and leave a comment in the blogger's comment section, take this opportunity to gain some followers!" Hao Yun grinned from ear to ear.

Because of a lucky accident, Bai Ye was chosen by chance. In Liu Xiu's eyes, he suddenly became a capable assistant with "a discerning eye" and was no longer the errand boy.

Not only him, but the entire crew should thank Bai Ye.

The teacher woke up early, stretched comfortably, and then habitually opened the Douyin backend.

Holy crap!

The bright red 99+ notifications in the message bar instantly banished Lao Shi's sleepiness. As a blogger with a certain reputation in the Douyin film and television section, Lao Shi is not someone who has never seen the world.

So when I saw 99+ views, my first reaction was, "Holy crap, I'm trending again?"

The number of followers, which was originally over 8, suddenly exceeded 10 overnight!

The teacher didn't even have time to wipe his eye boogers, so he quickly checked what was wrong.

The view counts of the top-pinned videos were about the same as yesterday, not much different. He scrolled down and his gaze fixed on them.

The video I made last night, which I stayed up all night, has over 30 views in less than a night. Without a doubt, it's a viral hit.

The teacher tapped the video to the top of his screen before finally opening it to check the comments section.

The first comment was from a user named Baiye: "I'm here. Thank you for recommending 'The Hidden Forest'."

The teacher clicked on his profile picture and found that there was only one video, which was promoting "The Hidden Forest", and it only had a pitiful few hundred likes.

That's absolutely terrible.

The teacher sympathetically gave him a thumbs up, then returned to the comments section to reply, "You're welcome, just don't come after me."

Besides Bai Ye, the other actors also came to join in the fun, making the comment section very lively.

The teacher liked and replied to each comment. He knew perfectly well that these people were taking the opportunity to promote their TV series, but it didn't matter. He also wanted to use the TV series to promote himself. It was a win-win situation.

Bai Ye kept Douyin (TikTok) running in the background on his phone, refreshing it tirelessly. Each refresh increased his follower count significantly, and it was rapidly approaching 30,000 followers.

Just a few days ago, he only had double digits of followers.

Cool!

How can murder lead to such a good thing?

Kill more in the future.

Besides the surge in his fan base, Wu Zhan also called to offer him a raise, saying that because of him, "Bloodstained Settlement" had received a lot of attention.

His pay increased from 2000 to 4000 a day. Although it was far less than what a star could earn, it was enough for him to live a very comfortable life.

Double happiness!

The good news doesn't end there!

The incident of bravely fighting off the criminals has also come to a conclusion. Officer Huang Xiyue contacted him, and his certificate of bravery has been issued, allowing him to pick it up when he has time.

This time, the certificate process took much longer than the first time, which puzzled Bai Ye, so he asked Huang Xiyue what was going on.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a quiet voice said, "Last time, Officer Zhao and Officer Zhou were ridiculed every day. They couldn't bear the embarrassment, so they kept pestering their superiors. Eventually, the superiors couldn't take it anymore and expedited the process."

"Oh, Officer Zhao and Officer Zhou, you've worked hard too."

On the other end of the phone, Huang Xiyue blushed, coughed twice, and said, "Come and get your marriage certificate when you have time."

Then he hung up the phone, leaving Bai Ye somewhat confused.

Triple happiness! I received another certificate for bravery, and in addition to the certificate, I also received a decent bonus.

However, Lady Luck seemed to be particularly kind to Bai Ye today. Three happy events weren't enough, and the system beeped a few more times.

Bai Ye quickly opened the account and saw that 300 points had been credited to his account!

You only get 1 point for killing one person, so you need to kill at least 30 people to get 300 points!

Relying on acting would take forever; by then, the sword would be dulled and it would be difficult to survive.

It has to be this kind of "crime"—wielding blood indiscriminately in public, killing people until they are terrified and their legs tremble at the mere sight of him. That's what a crime is.

Adding the points he earned from his rampage at the kindergarten a few days ago, Bai Ye's points have already exceeded 500, and they are still increasing at a visible rate.

"Your massacre of unarmed civilians is known to all. This slaughter will become a legend, and your infamy will be passed down through generations. Go for it, pure demon!"

Bai Ye's feelings were complicated. A demon? Who? Me?

Believe it or not, I'll throw my Good Samaritan certificate in your face!

Who the hell is the devil!

My buddy is a good guy!
