Chapter 349: Chapter 337: Changing the Script

[Actor Dormitory (Luo Di)]

Having left the dormitory less than half an hour ago, Luo Di returned again, but this time he was accompanied by Boss David.

The squad leader’s actions last night were completely exposed, currently giving the sensation of being brought here to identify the scene.

"It seems like you conducted a kind of secret spatial connection here last night? Though the fluctuations were minor, one of my friends detected it.

Can you explain it?"

Boss David rarely showed a posture of retraction, his height even increased due to it, making him resemble a giant elegant beast ready to devour at any moment.

The curtain within his eye sockets was replaced with bright red, illuminated from within, watching the squad leader with a crimson gaze.

It seemed that if any threat to the Grand Theater, the Evil Play, or even Hell itself was detected, the squad leader would be killed immediately, with even her form in the Corner Depths being greatly affected.

The squad leader felt no pressure and maintained her smile, "What’s there to explain? You all can go inside and see for yourselves."

She reached out to turn off the bedroom light, creating conditions of darkness.

She stepped forward,

her finger gently slid along the corner line,

forming a deep black seam,

But no threat emerged from the seam, none of the sensation felt when Luo Di accidentally triggered a Corner connection in the Great Monastery previously.

Besides, if it were truly a Corner opening, Luo Di would sense it first rather than being asleep like a dead pig.

The seam in front was clearly not leading to the Corner path, only bearing a certain resemblance... more like a "Corner-like Space" created by the squad leader.

Boss David, also proficient in spatial skills, saw through the essence of this seam.

The squad leader had opened a special space inside the wall seam, and the method for creating this extra space differed entirely from his own technique.

Boss David stepped boldly into it, followed closely by Luo Di and the others.

Inside was indeed a sealed room... more accurately a dressing room, filled with long coats, tight suits, and electrician outfits.

Side weapon cabinets were lined with various machetes, chainsaws, axes, etc.

The squad leader was the last to walk in, spreading her arms to introduce, "Ta-da~ Welcome to my temporarily crafted Murderer Dressing Room, filled with costume props from all the films Luo Di and I have watched.

Regarding the script’s protagonist and story setting, I intend for Luo Di to play a monster lurking in the Corner, invading a small town in True Hell.

I can ensure such a Corner seam exists anywhere on the set, as long as it meets the [Corner] conditions.

The murderer Luo Di impersonates can freely move in and out through the Corner, changing clothes and props for killing.

Whether it’s mystery, oppression, or the release of fear, all will exceed the original script.

It matches Luo Di’s style and serves as a warning."

Boss David caught a keyword: "Warning?"

"Yes... currently the Corner within our world is expanding outward, affecting neighboring worlds.

Although True Hell remains distant for now, without proactive contact it’ll take decades—possibly hundreds of years—for the Corner’s influence to radiate over.

However, given Luo Di’s presence as a middleman, preemptive measures seem wise.

According to my chat last night with Agatha, there was a brief Corner invasion in the church of the Great Monastery, supposedly when the Pope touched Luo Di’s pituitary leading to a reverse connection."

"The Great Monastery, the Pope? Such things happened! This interesting incident I was unaware of?"

Boss David’s tightly retracted belly relaxed instantly, glancing at Agatha beside him, "Was the Great Monastery invaded? What was the outcome?"

Agatha quickly replied, "Once the Pope sensed the issue, he immediately severed the connection, everything returned to normal."

"Oh~ what a pity... if a real monster had come over, we’d gauge its strength and obtain concrete body samples.

Great~ then we’ll amend the script as ’squad leader’ suggested, Luo Di, you’ll play the murderer from the Corner, ensuring the overall style accentuates horror, mystery, and an oppressive atmosphere.

Let’s begin script revisions now, aiming to start filming by afternoon or evening.

I’ll continue to the set to test the equipment, you should arrive early."

"Okay, boss."

David left, rubbing his hands, leaving the four remaining in the Corner-like Space created by the squad leader, the atmosphere momentarily tense.

Agatha started to speak but was signaled by Calen to exit, leaving only a man and woman in the Corner-like Space.

Bang!

One arm with tentacles writhing under the skin, exuding an ancient aura,

another arm with wire protruding from the pores, laden with suffering,

both hands pressing forward, cornering the squad leader against the wall.

"With your meticulous mind, it’s unlikely you’d engage in actions related to Corner invasion, especially in someone’s ’territory.’

You did it on purpose, deliberately appearing suspicious, drawing attention to ’Corner’ as a key piece of information... Why?"

The squad leader’s rigid smile in private transitioned into the gentlest smile,

"Otherwise? If you don’t find a way to pique the director’s interest in the Corner, his first film would likely play it safe, adhering strictly to your original script, entirely centered on Hell’s theme.

The effect might be quite good, and these first-time movie-watching demons would probably love it.

But your brain only receives Hell’s supplement, and your essence is the pituitary. People don’t want you to deviate from your development and become a mere Hell product, reduced to a pure demon.

You’re meant to be a true murderer, Mr. D.

With my revisions, the film adaptation should provide the perfect, most suitable supplement, allowing you to visit me in the Corner sooner."

"This Corner irradiating outward, is it really true?"

"I’m barely a year into the Corner; how could I know such things? I’m just making stuff up, but... I do have some self-interest."

"What?"

"Given True Hell’s strong invasiveness, we should maximize its usage, ensuring these distant worlds meet sooner.

Otherwise, it could take not just decades or centuries, but thousands or even tens of thousands of years for them to encounter.

Allowing these worlds to meet early, triggering unique interactions... would result in a special collision.

Chaos would disrupt the current balance.

For someone like me, self-reliant and isolated in the Corner Depths, opportunities would increase.

And for you, Luo Di, the ’Hell Connector,’ there’d be benefits upon facing insurmountable creatures or deep danger, you could perhaps directly seek Hell’s assistance.

Don’t worry too much, even if promoting through film, it takes years for distant worlds to intersect.

You have ample time to gain standing in True Hell ensuring safety during world interactions.

Moreover, I can tell.

Neither Mr. Hook, nor Boss David, nor the presence that glimpsed my actions last night, all are somewhat intrigued by our world.

So I’m essentially benefiting everyone... but primarily us two.

Anyway,

enjoy your first appearance, no need to play the native demon. Simply be yourself, the Moon Killer.

Let me, Agatha, and Calen relish the terror of being hunted.

Killing me once more..."

Luo Di didn’t directly respond but eyed the squad leader intently, as if attempting to uncover hidden truths behind her eyes.

Eventually, a hand fell on the squad leader’s head, gave it a ruffle, then he turned to leave, preparing to modify the script.

His wrist was pulled once more.

"Hey~ I gave you ten minutes this morning, now it’s time to repay me."
