The second act was about to end.
The interval between each act in a movie was usually different.
Although there were cases like Specter Hotel where one act was basically equal to one day, that was equivalent to the progress of the movie. When it was actually shown, there were only tens of minutes in a day.
For some movies with a tight plot, the interval between each act would be much shorter, and most of them would use the blank period of the script as the interval between acts.
The plot of this movie, The Return, should be tighter than that of Specter Hotel.
After the second act ended, the third act would begin directly at night.
During this process, there would be a long period of blank periods in the script.
The blank periods in the script were often used by actors to explore the hidden plot, or they could use this period to search for cursed objects and gather information.
For Fang Leng, he was very experienced.
Relatively speaking, the difficulty of The Return was definitely much lower than that of Ghost Sacrifice.
Of course, he would never let his guard down. After all, he knew very well that even in low-difficulty horror movies, there were often people who failed miserably. The deaths of Yu Chen and Yang He were the best examples.
Now, whether it was looking for cursed objects or gathering information, there were many obstacles.
There were too many unknowns in this movie that were hard to explore. Originally, he had planned to break into the Ghost Prison Dojo, but due to Yushun's opinion, he temporarily put it aside.
However, if the situation continued to be so passive, Fang Leng would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
He was regarded as a leader by the people of the 13 Degrees Cinema, and they listened to him. Therefore, he had the obligation to protect their lives.
The last part of the second act was about to end.
Walking out of the forest, Fang Leng looked up at the sky.
That day, the clouds were so thick and dense.
Unknowingly, the sunlight had been completely blocked.
Fang Leng turned around and looked at the forest.
Opposite the forest was the Ghost Prison Dojo that was sealed and no one was allowed to enter.
His gaze was fixed on that place.
"What's wrong, Wei Ming?"
Yushun looked worried, her hands clutching Fang Leng's arm tightly.
"It's been seven years."
Fang Leng took a deep breath and said, "It's been so long, but after returning here, my mind is immediately filled with these memories."
"Wei Ming …"
"I suddenly have a feeling that coming back here might be a mistake.
I, maybe I shouldn't have come back. "
"Why would you say that?
Wei Ming? "
"When I was very young, I began to realize that the people of the Wei Clan seemed to be 'different' from the people of the outside world.
This mountain is so big, yet no one from White River Town has ever lived here, aside from the Wei Clan. "
When Yue Liqing heard this, he could not help but look at Fang Leng.
"To the residents of White River Town, the Wei Family has always been mysterious. However, to them, their impression of us can only be summed up with one word.
That is — "
"Strange."
Yue Liqing looked at the script. When it was his turn, he quickly began to read his lines. "If that's the case, it's true.
Her mother used to object to her aunt marrying into the Wei Family.
She only moved into the Wei Family many years after my aunt married into the Wei Family. "
"Haoxiang, strictly speaking, you're not a member of the Wei Clan." Fang Leng immediately turned his gaze to Yue Liqing. "What do you think of the Wei Clan?"
"I …"
"Tell me the truth.
I want to hear the truth. "
After a long silence, Yue Liqing continued according to the script. "If I have to say it, my grandfather once told me something that left a deep impression on me."
"What is it?"
"It's …" He glanced at Yushun and said with difficulty, "Forget it, I won't say it."
However, Yushun immediately said, "It's about my mother, right?"
Hearing this, Yue Liqing's expression changed.
"Not long after my mother passed away, my father arranged for Qianrong and I to live on the mountain." Fang Leng sighed heavily.
"I have no impression of your mother at all. However, my brother seemed to be very close to her when he was young.
According to him, after Aunt Yun passed away, you and Qianrong were immediately brought to the Wei Family.
My father regarded you as his daughter but did not adopt you. Obviously, the main reason was because … "
"He hoped that you could marry into the Wei Family."
At this point, Fang Leng continued with difficulty.
"Actually, you should've realized it long ago, right?
Yu Su?
You, no, I should say, the psychic bloodline is' necessary 'for the Wei Family.
Although you're the only one who inherited your mother's physique, it's obvious that my father had plans to arrange for Qianrong to marry into the Wei Family because her children might also have the physique.
Letting the Wei Family have the physique was my father's plan since a long time ago. "
Yushun did not reply immediately.
"Let's go."
At this point in the script, the scene changed to the sky above which was gradually darkening. Then, the second act came to an end.
Following that, the script was left blank. The third act would only be filmed at dusk. Before that, there was no new script.
The second act was finally filmed successfully without any NGs.
After all, they were basically reading lines and the acting skills were not high. It was normal to not have NGs.
Moreover, the ghost had not made an official appearance so far.
However, the atmosphere was already very depressing.
From the conversation earlier, it was not difficult for Fang Leng to grasp some information.
The Wei Family had always needed the physique of a psychic.
Xu Yusu and Xu Qianrong's mother used to be a psychic in the Wei Family. When she passed away, the Wei Family immediately brought her children into the Wei Family. They even treated the two children as their daughters-in-law.
However, the truth was that Xu Qianrong was already married to Wei Si.
Moreover, the person Xu Yusu liked was the main character, Wei Ming. Hence, his marriage with Yusu was very important to the Wei Family.
Therefore, Fang Leng could not help but recall that his second uncle, Wei Yuanwu, had mentioned that he hoped to arrange his marriage with Yusu after the funeral was over.
Why was his second uncle so concerned about this?
After Qianrong and Wei Si got married, they had no children.
On the other hand, Wei Lian was already married and had a child.
As for Wei Ming who had returned, he naturally wanted to marry Yusu as soon as possible. The child that they gave birth to would very likely become a new psychic medium.
The Wei Family could not afford to lose their psychic medium.
This was a conclusion that was not difficult to reach.
This was obviously related to the construction of the Five Ghosts Club, the current closure of the Ghost Prison Club, and even the prohibition of leaving the mountain.
There were many similarities between the Wei Family and the Ouyang Family, the supernatural family in Room of Confinement.
However, where was the cursed item of the deceased?
Like Ye Xiang, Fang Leng had already noticed the problem with the mirrors.
All the mirrors in the club were facing the same direction.
And all the mirrors, without exception, were facing the Ghost Prison Club.
It was as if they were using mirrors to surround the central club.
However, none of the mirrors that he had touched were cursed items of the deceased.
What exactly did those mirrors mean?
What did the Wei Family need a psychic medium for?
Ye Xiang was also pondering these questions.
However, he really had no way of knowing the exact truth.
After his conversation with Uncle Kuan and several careful tests, he was finally convinced that Uncle Kuan did not understand all of this.
Perhaps … no one in the Wei Family understood all of this.
If that was the case, then it would be a huge headache.
What should he do now?
Earlier, he had pretended to touch a few mirrors by accident. However, he could also confirm that they were not cursed items of the deceased. They seemed to be just ordinary mirrors.
However, was it really that simple?
Although Ye Xiang was an Emissary of Hell, he was still in a very passive state.
Moreover, he was still in the period of growth and was at his weakest. Only by enduring this period of time would he be able to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly!
During this period of time, he had to endure it no matter what!
Ye Xiang had a very strong willpower.
He did not care about suffering, nor did he care about how dangerous it was. In order to obtain a powerful life-saving measure and a bargaining chip to survive, he would do anything!
Moreover, if he wanted to protect his loved ones, he had to become stronger!
He felt that he could not continue to be so passive.
No matter what method he used, he had to find out the truth about the Five Ghosts Club!
He could be sure that Wei Lian did not know why Papa Wei had issued two bans. This meant that it was reasonable for him to investigate the reason for the two bans. It would not result in a NG!
He could not enter the Ghost Prison Club, nor could he leave the mountain.
There must be a reason for such an order.
Then, he had to understand what they had experienced when the order was issued.
Also, he had to know the secrets that the Wei Family had been hiding for a long time.
However, this incident had happened a long time ago, so Wei Lian must have investigated it. Before the movie started, he must have asked everyone he could.
Therefore, it was already very difficult to find out by asking others.
Since that was the case, he had to find out the changes in the objective environment after they issued the ban!
No matter how small the changes were, he had to find a way to investigate it!
All of this was definitely not groundless!
Ye Xiang made up his mind. During the blank period of the script, he would find a way to go to the Ghost Heart Club and check on the mirror. Then, he would find a way to find out what changes had happened before and after the ban was issued.
Next, he would try his best to observe every club and find a way to investigate the secrets of the Five Ghosts Club.
There were really many things that he had to do.
What was more regrettable was that Fang Leng had not found the correspondence between him and Papa Wei.
And he did not see anything like a diary. There was not even a single photo in the room.
No matter how he looked at it, it made him feel very helpless.
At this moment, a sentence flashed across Ye Xiang's mind.
He could not call the police …
The police would find out the Wei Family's secret …
That was it!
Ye Xiang immediately grasped this important clue!
In other words, the Wei Family was hiding something that could not be exposed!
And it seemed that many people knew about this!
The Wei Lian that he was impersonating probably knew about it too. Therefore, he could not ask others.
However, he could go and find out where it was hidden!
If it was something that the police would find when they arrived, it would not be hidden very well!
If he could find it … Perhaps it would be the hope to solve the problem!
