The night was as thick as ink, and a lamp hung alone on the ceiling. Under the dim light, the dilapidated floors and wallpaper seemed to have become festered, emitting a suffocating smell into the air.

Quiet, extremely quiet, so quiet that even the air stagnates.

Suddenly, the dim light flashed, the light flickered, and something seemed to be in the shadow, quietly coming to the corner of the wall.

Crack

The door opened without wind and was opened without warning. It seemed particularly harsh in this extremely quiet house.

Bang bang bang

There was a sound of smashing things, and it was transmitted into the room through the opened door.

The light flickered faster, and the light changed rapidly in the brightness, and there seemed to be shadows reflected on the wall.

Crack

The door sounded again, and the door seemed to be rusted. The sound made was like a fingernail scraping over the rusted iron plate, making people unable to stop their teeth.

Bang

With a loud bang, the door was closed to death.

The door was closed tightly and seemed to be unable to open again.

Bang bang

There was no figure in the flashing light, but footsteps sounded strangely.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer in the light and dark lights, becoming more and more like, and eventually turning into a clearly audible clack.

Crack

The lights that flickered suddenly went out, and the room completely darkened, like an abyss, and there was no more sight.

Crack

Electric sparks flashed on the ceiling and the lights suddenly shone brightly.

A shadow, a human-shaped shadow, appears on the wall. I don’t know whether the shadow’s body is like this or the relationship between the dilapidated wallpaper on the wall. The shadow looks very strange. Some places are concave and some places are protruding, making it difficult for people to tell whether the body is human!

Hehehe

The sound of teeth grinding sounded as if sleeping.

This sound makes people sour, terrified, and unconsciously get goose bumps.

It's like placing a person on a laundry board and rubbing it back and forth until all the bones are kneaded into pieces.

The rapid breathing suddenly sounded from the corner of the wall. A little girl with short golden hair squatted in the corner of the wall, covering her mouth with force, as if she had been hiding here for a long time. Now she finally couldn't help but feel the fear in her heart, and she kept gasping for a loud noise...

The shadow turned silently in the light and turned into a corner facing the little girl.

"ah"

The screams of fear finally rang, completely breaking the silence in the room.

A camera exited the room along the slide rails, and James Wen, who was sitting behind the camera, shouted, "Okay, this scene is over!"

But due to inertia, the little girl's scream continued.

"Lily!" A female voice with a French accent sounded, "It's OK, Lily!"

Vanessa Paradis walked to the little girl and pulled her up, "Lily, this shot is finished."

"Oh." Lily Depp nodded in a hunch first, then laughed, "Mom, the scene I've filmed this time is really fun."

Matthew also came over and said with a smile, "Do you like games like this?"

Lily Depp pointed to the shaking light bulb and said, "Godfather, don't you think it's interesting?"

Without waiting for Matthew to answer, Vanessa Paradis said, "This scary drama is interesting? Lily, what are you thinking?"

Lily Depp pouted, stopped talking, moved quietly, and stood a little away from Vanessa Paradis, standing next to Matthew.

"I'm thirsty," she murmured.

"Let's go." Matthew led her out of the room, "I'll take you to drink water."

This house used for photography was his former residence in the northern suburbs of Burbank, so he was naturally very familiar with it. He received a glass of water from the water dispenser in the living room and brought it to the little girl.

Lily Depp took it and took a sip first, smiled sweetly, "Thank you Godfather." She took another sip, and asked, "Godfather, am I okay acting?"

"Very good." Matthew nodded in approval.

Today is the day when "Luxing" is filming. Lily Depp is going to participate in the filming. It just so happens that there is no scene with the crew of "Fast and Furious 5", so he comes here to take a look.

Lily Depp raised his little face and asked, "Really?"

Matthew changed his tone very seriously, "Of course it's true."

To be honest, he didn't expect Lily Depp to perform so well.

"Matthew!" Vanessa Paradis's voice sounded, "You are Lily's godfather!"

Hearing these vague dissatisfaction words, Matthew turned his head and looked, Vanessa Paradis had already come over, and he quickly said, "Yes, Lily is so great, I'm so proud of her."

Vanessa Paradis came across from him, sighed and asked, "What are you thinking about with Depp?"

Matthew scratched his head a little, not understanding what this means, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lily is less than ten years old!" Vanessa Paradis looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, and said in a low voice, "Is it appropriate for her to shoot this kind of scene?"

Matthew was rarely asked, and didn't think anything before. When he recalled the shot that James Wen had just taken, he realized that he and Depp had ignored something after all.

"Sorry." Matthew thought of the problem, "I'm very sorry, my godfather, it's too easy to think about it."

Vanessa Paradis was just a little dissatisfied, but she was not the kind of unreasonable woman. Instead, she was relatively tolerant, otherwise she would not have been dating Johnny Depp for so long.

She shook her head, "Forget it, I will accompany Lily throughout the journey."

Matthew nodded slightly, "Vanessa, I promise, there will be no next time."

Sure enough, I am not suitable for raising children, and I am really an unqualified godfather.

"What are you talking about?" Lily Depp looked at the godfather, then at his mother, scratching his head, "I don't understand!"

"It's okay." Vanessa Paradis smiled.

Matthew chatted with Lily Depp and Vanessa Paradis for a while, and saw James Win waving to the side, and hurried over.

"There are some parts of the house that need proper renovation," James Wen asked. "It may damage the original decoration."

Since the crew was asked to shoot here, Matthew considered these issues and said directly, "No problem, just watch it and don't break the main frame of the house."

James Wen said quickly, "No, just change the decoration."

Matthew chatted with him for a few words, then looked at the shots just now. I have to say that James Win is indeed a good player in creating a horror atmosphere.

In many cases, the horror atmosphere does not require exaggerated exclamations or scattered plasma. It is often better to listen to thunder in silent places.

The crew filmed in the room for half a morning. Matthew just watched and did not interfere with James Win's work. Through the morning of shooting, he also discovered that perhaps Lily Depp was still worse than the McKenzie Foy who left a deep impression on him, but it was much better than when he was auditioned.

More importantly, Lily Depp was not afraid of the horror atmosphere created by James Win, but was full of interest.

Perhaps Lily Depp can develop on the path of horror queen like the "Screaming Queen" Jamie Lee Curtis in the future?

This thought flashed through, and Matthew knew very well that if he did this, Vanessa Paradis, who was eager to love his daughter, might have fought hard for him.

Soon, the crew moved to the outdoor shooting. Since all the windows of the house were equipped with black curtains on the outside, the room looked very dark, but the outside of the house was sunny.

But in this bright sunshine, Matthew saw a middle-aged man with a pale face and a dark expression.

"Are you Mr. Horner?"

The middle-aged man took the initiative to find Matthew, "The owner of this house?"

Matthew glanced at him, especially his abnormal white face, nodded and said, "I am Matthew Horner."

The middle-aged man looked quite serious, "I am Brad Tesla, an exorcist."

"Oh..." Matthew said casually, "Hello."

This person has a surname worthy of praise, an exorcist master?

The Tesla master said with a reminder and warning, "There has been a murder in this house!"

Matthew nodded casually, "It happened more than ten years ago."

"The deceased is a young woman." The pale face and dark expression of the Tesla master were very master-like. "Because he was killed, the murderer did not receive the punishment he deserved, and the victim's soul could not enter heaven and could only float back and forth here."

He suddenly pointed to the ivy that withered due to lack of management, "Look over there, the plants have been affected by the resentment of the victims, and life is withering."

Matthew did not answer, and clearly felt that the God of Fraud was paying attention to him.

Master Tesla also said, "After years of accumulation, the victims will soon transform into vengeful spirits. If they are not dealt with in time, it will affect the owner of the house!"

"You mean it will affect me?" Matthew asked.

"Yes, I'm very sure of this." Master Tesla put on an amazing look, "Mr. Horner, you have already carried the curse of a resentful spirit. If you delay it for a while, it will inevitably happen."

Matthew was speechless for a moment. It was so nonsense to tell this to someone like him who grew up under the Red Banner.

How could a person who doesn’t even believe in gods and Buddhas in the sky believe in these things?

Seeing Matthew's silence, Master Tesla thought his words worked. He had been in Los Angeles and Hollywood for many years and had dealt with many celebrities. The less educated a star, the more effective some words worked.

"Mr. Horner, please pay attention!" Master Tesla said extremely seriously, "As an exorcist, I have the obligation to remind you and also to help you get rid of the poison of resentful spirits!"

This is said in a righteous and selfless manner.

Matthew thought for a while and asked, “Will it be dangerous if you don’t deal with it?”

When Master Tesla was young, he went to Hong Kong City to get scriptures and said, "The least it affects the future of career, and the worst it endangers life!" He reminded again, "Mr. Horner, please let me help you! This is the obligation of an exorcist."
