Tokyo underground city

Chapter 146 Loneliness

Marilla once again owed her body a habit.

He said hesitantly: "I want to ask you, why is Miss Xiyang Xixue unwilling to stay in the trailer? Is it because Miss Yingmiling and I have offended her?"

Ah, this... you were so embarrassed before, why are you asking about this...

Perhaps Marilla saw Lin Huaien's expression and hurriedly apologized:

"I'm sorry! I know it may be a little strange to ask this question..."

"But neither Miss Yingmiling nor I meant to quarrel with Miss Xiyang Xixue! If there was anything rude before, I can apologize... But before apologizing, I want to ask Mr. Lin what you think. After all, as a As a bystander, you may be able to see it more clearly.”

really.

Lin Huai'en nodded. From his perspective, Xiyang Xixue could not be said to be right.

But "rejecting others thousands of miles away" was originally her own choice.

As a "human being without friends", Lin Huai'en doesn't see anything wrong with this approach at all.

To put it bluntly, although I don’t know what Marilla thinks, Ying Miling’s acting skills should not be enough to be recognized “from the bottom of my heart” by Hara Yumu.

Although from Ying Miling's point of view, her current achievements are enough to be on par with Xiyang Xixue.

But from Hara Yumu's point of view, the focus of the relationship between the two people has never been their achievements, but their mutual recognition of their ideas and values.

So Lin Huai'en thought about it and was not ready to say it explicitly.

After all, from the perspective of people who can’t understand, this is just Xiyang Xixue’s “arrogance”:

If Yuan Ximu wants to clarify this matter one day, she should leave it to herself.

He is just a "spectator", and he will be a "spectator" after all, and will not enthusiastically participate in the "starring" stage.

So he took out what Yuan Ximu said before:

"She told me that the trailer was too bumpy and she couldn't bear it, so she escaped."

"The trailer is too bumpy?!" Marilla heard this and covered her mouth in surprise: "But there are thick cushions in the trailer... and there are various shock-absorbing spells..."

At this point, she suddenly realized something and stopped suddenly.

And Lin Huai'en also reacted: "Ah... turns out it was just an excuse..."

"Hmm..." Marilla put down her hand and nodded with a blushing face: "I didn't expect Miss Xiyang Xixue to lie at all... And when Miss Xiyang Xixue said this, did she want to be with you?"

Speaking of this, Marilla secretly glanced at Lin Huaien's expression, as if she remembered what happened just now, and her ears turned red with embarrassment.

But Lin Huai'en just thought about it and sternly refused:

"No, I think she simply likes dungeons, so she wanted to come out and shoot some material. You see, she is editing the video now."

He pointed at Yuan Ximu in the far corner. From their point of view, Yuan Ximu was sitting facing them while holding her laptop, completely unable to see anything on the computer screen.

Only the glowing screen reflected onto her face, illuminating her serious expression.

After hearing Lin Huaien's explanation, Marilla reacted with some stumbling:

"Cut, edit the video...Miss Xiyang Xixue's hobbies are really wide-ranging..."

"I only remembered that she could sing, cook, play the piano, arrange music and paint, but I didn't expect that she could also edit videos..."

"Moreover, Xiyang Xixue has a channel on Douyu...could it be said that the video above was edited by Miss Xiyang Xixue herself? That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Lin Huai'en did not expect that Marilla had also watched the Douyu channel run by Xiyang Xixue's parents.

He hesitated, but explained:

"Well... editing is her personal interest. It seems to help her understand the director's lens language, which is helpful for her acting skills."

These are not made up by him, they are mentioned in the channel introduction of "Hitchcock's Maid".

When Marilla heard this, she blinked her eyes, clasped her hands together, and said with some longing, "That's it... Miss Xiyang Xixue's acting skills are indeed outstanding among us young actors..."

"I had the honor to work with her before... Her acting skills were so outstanding that the director had to remind her that her performance was too eye-catching and destroyed the balance of the entire movie... She had to use a lot of back and side views. The footage just completed the editing of the movie, and it didn’t reflect the charm of Xiyang Xixue at all..."

Lin Huaien was shocked when he heard what Marilla said.

He had noticed before that the acting skills of the other leading actors were not on the same level as Xiyang Xixue, but he still did not expect that on the real set, the relationship between the director and Xiyang Xixue had become so bad.

To be honest, this feeling is a bit close to "bad money drives out good money".

So Marilla nodded, looking unusually worried:

"But to be honest, the cast this time is also very ordinary. I don't know how Ms. Xiyang Xixue plans to deal with other people's acting skills." At this point, Marilla patted her chest gently, with a look of luck on her face: " Fortunately, it's not me and Miss Xiyang Xixue who are playing opposite each other... It's really scary. I can often see actors being suppressed by Miss Xiyang Xixue's aura..."

"As far as I know, there are two actors who, after experiencing Ms. Xiyang Xixue's acting skills up close, felt that they had no talent and gave up on being actors..."

Looking at Marilla who looked happy, Lin Huaien nodded and said as if in agreement:

"Indeed, geniuses are all lonely..."

.

After sending Marilla away, Lin Huaien returned to his tent.

Windrunner is responsible for the security of the entire camp at night.

But just in case, he still summoned Coco and left it in Yuan Ximu's tent.

To be honest, the skill [Shadow Follow] is more useful than he imagined.

As long as Coco was not more than a hundred meters away from him, he didn't need to worry about Yuan Ximu or himself being attacked without warning.

Cursed skeletons do not need to sleep. After fighting during the day, they can continue to serve as sentries at night. Their night vision, concealment, hearing and smell are several times that of humans.

Perhaps this is the best use of cocoa.

However, Lin Huaien discovered something because he sent Coco far away from him.

That is, Coco does not need to eat, but needs to absorb his magic power.

But this process of absorbing magic power was completed at night, so he never knew about it.

Early the next morning, when he went to wake Yuan Ximu up, he picked up Coco who was hiding in the shadows. Then throughout the morning, his magic power continued to decline until it dropped by more than 250 points one after another. stop.

And this much magic power was exactly the magic power he consumed when summoning Coco.

"This new discovery... cannot be said to have no impact at all, but at least it is not a big problem."

Lin Huai'en thought for a while, and Coco's ability to absorb magic power would probably only affect him if he fights for several days in a row, or if he consumes too much magic power for some reason...

If he were a mage explorer, he might feel a little more uncomfortable. After all, according to Aizen, using magic potions is an overdraft of the body's potential. Sometimes, even after a whole night's rest, full magic power cannot be restored. .

But he is a swordsman-type explorer with high magical quality, so this little magic extraction is basically harmless to him.

"As long as you don't rely on one form of combat...the only people you can rely on in the deep dungeon are me and my teammates. Every strength represents a piece of survivability..." Lin Huaien looked at his declining and recovering magic power. Worth it, I thought to myself, and continued to move forward with the crew.

.

Starting from today, the crew of "The Wind Passes" will enter the eighth level of the "Forest of Giant Trees".

It is also commonly known as the "Forest of Dawn".

The sixth to tenth floors of Changying dungeon are divided into five floors, namely [Noon Forest], [Morning Forest], [Dawn Forest], [Dusk Forest], and [Twilight Forest]. 】Fifth floor.

The lighting conditions and ecological conditions of each floor will change to a certain extent.

If the lighting conditions in the [Noon Level] and [Morning Level] are normal, then starting from the Dawn Level, the tree cave tunnel begins to be shrouded in a layer of dim mist.

This layer of mist blocked the glimmer of light emitting from the tree vine walls, making the light in the tree cave as dim as dawn.

At the same time, the monsters that appear in the dawn layer also transition from giant insects to various spirits.

The [Berry Tree Demons] he had previously retrieved using [Natural History] also appeared. They were sitting on the branches outside the tree cave, staring at the passing explorers. They neither attacked nor approached, but just watched silently. their advance.

In addition to light and monsters, the vines attached to the giant trees are becoming more and more numerous and thicker, and even extend from the tree cave passage, forming various strange-shaped platters and gardens in the air.

"Director Shen and the others, don't they want to shoot scenes in these hanging gardens?"

Lin Huai'en looked at the void outside the tunnel and couldn't help but shiver a little.

Yuan Ximu, who was walking beside him, shook his head and denied his idea: "If it is just a sky garden, there is no need to go to the underground city - for the film team, the biggest budget expenditure is the construction of the real scene, such as Talking about the 3 billion film and television city built in "Legend of the Demon Cat", the 40,000-square-meter northern roof of "The Legend of Evil Cat"... In places where there is a lot of interaction with actors, the special effects cannot be compared with the real scenes."

"Here is my script. You can take it and read it. It should be of some help to what I want to shoot next."

Yuan Ximu said, handing him a thick script book.
