This is not a request, but a command!
Order!
The Night King said this in a very stable tone, but he felt like he was not angry and was powerful. To him, it seemed that this kind of authority was inherently expressed like a king.
Just like darkness itself.
"I...I understand." In the end, Aoyin could only answer like this: "I will listen to you, and I will listen to you..."
"Very good. Tonight, I want you to accompany me to a place. I must fully develop the 'capacity' of the Xiahou family in your body."
The ability of the Xiahou family!
Aoyin clearly realized that this means that her ability as an actor will have the opportunity to be unblocked.
Although the script did not explain this, she knew it very clearly.
"What's going on?"
So far, the shooting has been very smooth, and there is no ng. At this point, acting is no longer difficult for everyone, and the reverse control of the character will also make it easier for the actors to get into the role.
Yes, that's it.
Soon... the script will arrange for the character played by the actor to die. At that time, it will be time to tamper with the script. However, in the final horror film, the price of tampering with the script is absolutely uncommon. And... even if the script is tampered with, it will never be easy to avoid death.
Compared with the final horror movie, the so-called "movie master" before is just a joke.
Now they are the real "actors"!
Time...it's already passed midnight.
And the Night King brought Xuanyin to a study room.
There are various ancient books placed in the study room. Without exception, these books are all written in traditional Chinese characters.
He walked to the front of the bookshelf, took out a book from the right side of the bookshelf, and then placed the book between the two books in the two squares below. Then, he placed another book on the top of the bookshelf...
After repeating some movements, the entire bookshelf began to slowly move towards the back!
Then, a spacious passageway is exposed behind!
"It looks like...it's inside a movie."
"Get in with me."
So Xuanyin followed the Night King to the spacious passage, and there was a spacious staircase below. Then the two of them walked up. At the same time, the bookshelf moved directly behind him to the front of the wall.
Along the way, Xuanyin didn't ask anything more. The unquestionable tone of the Night King was equivalent to telling her that she didn't need to think about anything and did nothing. As long as she followed him, that would be fine.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs, it had become very dark. The Night King took out a box of matches, then lit the matches, and then...
Torches were lit one after another.
There are already many torches hanging from the walls in this basement.
The basement area is much larger than Aoyin expected.
And she saw a long corridor in front of her that extended to the front of her, and there were separate rooms one after another on both sides of the corridor.
"What's this?"
But the Night King didn't say anything, but walked in the corridor, lit the torches on the wall one by one.
"I need your ability. The stronger your ability, the greater your chances of winning for me. Tomorrow, no, should be said to be 'today', the day I have been waiting for for a long time."
"You need those maps, I know."
The Night King has an imaginative persistence towards those maps. There is no doubt about this. However, what is the meaning of those maps for the Night King?
"On the day when Luohu devoured the sun again... it was the same as that day back then." The Night King said coldly: "My highest expectation for you is that you can do it like your grandmother."
“Is the ‘medium’…?”
"For me, it is risky to add you to my plan. So, you can't have any obstacles to my plan, otherwise... I will kill you with my own hands."
Xuanyin knew very well... The Night King lacked trust in himself. However, it seemed that because of his grandmother, he also needed him very much.
Grandmother...I remember that when she passed away, no one from the Xiahou family had visited her, and it was the same when she was buried...
The people in the Xiahou family obviously had some complicated feelings for her, but no one came to see her when she died. They didn't even send her the last journey.
Xuanyin has almost no impression of her grandmother. She rarely said anything to her. However... her father did mention to her that she looked like her grandmother when she was young. This made her have some subtle feelings for her grandmother. Xiahou Tailan's grandmother... also regarded her as her grandmother. So, how similar is she and her grandmother?
At this time, Xuanyin came to the door of one of the rooms, and from the fence embedded on the door, she saw the scene inside the door, which was...
A white dead bone!
After seeing the dead bone, Xuanyin immediately covered her mouth with her hand, revealing a look of horror.
"What's this?"
The Night King said lightly: "As you see."
"Don't all the deceased... should be buried in the tomb?"
"Yes. But there are exceptions."
Exception? What does that mean?
"You don't need to know this."
This is the other sentence! Obviously, King Xiahou Ye still hides a lot of things.
Today... the Xiahou family will hold a ghost marriage for the two dead! In this process, the interests of many people in this family are involved. Xiahou Yewang, Xiahou Tailan, Xiahou Jiaoyan... These may be just the tip of the iceberg, and there may be more people in the Xiahou family clan involved.
What is certain is that the focus of these people's plans is the map.
And maps are obviously of great significance to them.
The current guarantee of King Xiahou Ye’s status in the Xiahou clan is that the head of the family, nominally his father, but actually his uncle. If there is no head of the family, I am afraid that the people of the Xiahou family will attack him in groups!
But... Xuanyin felt that what the Night King really wanted was not the status of the Xiahou family. This was purely an intuition.
That so-called map...will definitely give him something.
Grandma...had ever helped him? No, if grandma was really important to him, why didn't she show up when she passed away?
"Can you tell me something about my grandmother? Or is this also something I 'don't need to know' or 'can't know'? Because I'm a family member?"
The Night King stared at her with his still cold eyes.
"Your grandmother has never told you about the Xiahou family, so why should I tell you?"
Yes. Grandma never mentioned it to her.
Before my grandmother passed away, what did she mention to her father? She can’t let her mother know...and she can’t let herself know...
"The only thing I can tell you is..."
At this moment, the words of the Night King interrupted her thoughts.
"Your grandmother...is a 'demon'."
demon!
For Xuanyin, this word was completely unexpected. She thought that her grandmother was the person she valued by the Night King, but in fact it seemed completely the opposite.
So... so unfriendly to myself? Even let her "get out" from Minshan?
"Devil? What does this mean?"
"It's literal meaning. You don't need to give more meaning."
"What did grandmother do... what did she do?"
What have you done?
The sneer on the Night King's mouth was even worse.
"Enough. What I can tell you has ended here. Next, let me see how much abilities you have inherited from your grandmother."
Then, he pointed to the corridor in front of him and said, "Choose a room. Any room is OK. Then, go in."
"Could..." Xuanyin looked at the corridor in front of her and said with a slight throat: "Does there be a dry bone in all the rooms on this corridor?"
The Night King did not nod, but did not deny her words.
Xuanyin felt cold sweat oozing from behind.
"Pick a room. I don't like repetition."
"Why? Do that?"
"I've said...I've told you everything I can't tell you."
The Night King is obviously a person who doesn’t talk much nonsense. For Aoyin, she has no other choice.
"Then...that."
Xuanyin knew very well, and asking the Night King again was already meaningless.
Chapter completed!
