Chapter 134
Half a year later.
City A.
“Ahhhh! What the hell! What the hell is this!”
“What the hell is that!”
“Don’t co here!”
An expressionless young man was live-streaming a ga in front of a computer screen, calmly breaking out in screams from ti to ti.
This young man was naturally Xiao Tangqiu. Since he was discharged from the hospital half a year ago and rested for more than a month, he had picked up his old job and resud his old business. He resud his work as a horror ga strear again.
Although he was missing for nearly two months and lost a lot of fans, new fans replaced the old. Soon, he relied on his mouth and “100% flag capture” to attract a batch of new fans and his status quickly stabilized.
He was back on his original path and everything seed to be back to normal.
On this day, Xiao Tangqiu live-stread a horror ga as always. Just as the ga’s atmosphere beca scarier and scarier and the plot was about to enter its climax, the phone he had put on the table and had been muted suddenly lighted up. A text ssage notification popped out.
“I’ve already arrived at the cafe downstairs from your house, co down quickly.”
Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows, scread a few more tis into the mic, then said in a frightened tone, “I can’t! Too scary! I need to calm down! Today’s “Love in the Mortuary” live stream ends here! Tomorrow I will continue the live stream! See you tomorrow!”
A bunch of protesting barrages suddenly appeared in the live stream room.
“How can you stop here! Host, you are so an!”
“The plot is exciting! Host, co back soon!”
“Don’t stop! Continue! Don’t stop~~~”
“Stopping right before the climax! Are you a man!”
“Today is so short, you are not a man!”
Xiao Tangqiu snorted, “Don’t you know if I’m a man or not? If I’m frightened to death, will it be considered a work injury? I’ll stop here today. Although it’s a bit short, how about I add more ti tomorrow? If I can finish live streaming “Love in the Mortuary” tomorrow, I’ll continue streaming its sister story, “Love in the Crematorium”, okay?”
He pretended to bargain a bit with the barrage, “I didn’t plan to live stream “Love in the Crematorium” at all. After all, “Love in the Mortuary” is scary enough... OK, let’s add another “Life and Death, Love in the Underworld”, I’ll live stream all the three stories together, okay?”
He coaxed for a while and finally parted with the reluctant live stream audience.
In fact, Xiao Tangqiu originally planned to stream the most popular ghost husband trilogy, “Love in the Mortuary”, “Love in the Crematorium”, and “Life and Death, Love in the Underworld”, one after another. It was said to have scared off a lot of strears, but Xiao Tangqiu was soone who had seen the big world. How could a few horror gas scare him?
After he exited the live stream room, he didn’t have ti to close the ga as he quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the cafe below his house.
When Xiao Tangqiu arrived at the cafe, there were not many people there. He imdiately found Tang Mianmian in the corner wearing sunglasses and a mask and wrapped up tightly.
He walked over and patted Tang Mianmian on the shoulder, then took a seat across from Tang Mianmian.
Tang Mianmian didn’t dare to take off his sunglasses. He lowered his voice and said to Xiao Tangqiu, “Help see if there are any suspicious paparazzi in this cafe...”
Xiao Tangqiu looked around, then smiled, “Don’t worry, there aren’t.”
Tang Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and complained to Xiao Tangqiu, “A lot of paparazzi have been following recently. It’s 360-degrees of pictures with no dead angles. Even if I went to a public toilet on the side of the road, they must co in and sneak pictures! They don’t even care that public toilets sll so bad, it’s so perverted!”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “Doesn’t that prove that you are popular?”
“On the one hand, it’s true that I’m hot,” Tang Mianmian proudly puffed his chest, but he sighed again, “On the other hand, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have helped Xu Xiaoman at that ti... My fault for being cheap, my fault for being cheap!”
“Xu Xiaoman? That actress?” Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, it’s the actress who married actor Lu Xiaobo,” Tang Mianmian sighed, “They are considered a well-known couple in the entertainnt industry. One is a powerful actor and the other is a powerful actress and they’ve been married for 20 years. Their relationship has a lot of eyes and respect, but now there is a divorce.”
Xiao Tangqiu, “What’s the matter? Is it related to you?”
“Have you not watched the news lately?” Tang Mianmian glared at Xiao Tangqiu before continuing reluctantly, “Bullshit it has sothing to do with , I’m just an innocent passerby. They have a divorce scandal. That day, I happened to be returning to the hotel from the crew with Xu Xiaoman, and Xu Xiaoman suddenly tripped, so I helped her up... and was photographed by the paparazzi.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “Are you really not together?”
“Bullshit together! Xu Xiaoman is in her fifties!” Tang Mianmian’s mouth twitched, “That’s only a few years younger than my mother! I don’t know what’s going on but sohow I got caught up in this turmoil! I am just a little actor with a little fa. I am really embarrassed to be involved in this kind of divorce scandal between the best actor and best actress! It’s too scary!”
When Tang Mianmian starred as the third male lead in that drama half a year ago, he really suppressed the male lead and second male lead in the show. Plus that script which was already a big deal, he had received nonstop script offers over the past half-year, representing one work after another. Now, he could be considered a small celebrity.
Xiao Tangqiu patted Tang Mianmian on the shoulder, “The sky will bring great responsibility to people, you know what cos next.”
Tang Mianmian sighed, “Being an actor is very tiring. If you make a mistake, people will ridicule and sar you. It’s still easier to be an online ga strear.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “You can co back occasionally. Many fans are waiting for you to co back... People often ask where you have been.”
Tang Mianmian suddenly showed a moved expression, “So there are still people waiting for ... Then how did you respond?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “I said you went back to your hotown to get married.”
Tang Mianmian, “Hey, hey, don’t just set up this kind of FLAG for !”
They chatted for a while and Tang Mianmian suddenly laughed, “Actually, I’m here to tell you good news. The drama that I beca a hit on is going to release a season two. The director wants to change from the third male lead to the main male lead!”
Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows, “That’s amazing. Not only did you kill the second male lead, but also the first male lead. Didn’t you succeed in ascending?”
Tang Mianmian smiled, paused, and suddenly asked Xiao Tangqiu, “By the way... about the kidnapping case before, do you rember anything now?”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and asked Tang Mianmian, “Do you rember sothing?”
Tang Mianmian shook his head, “I still don’t rember anything, but the director wanted to dig out more details about the kidnapping case, so he often cos to ask . He seems to be interviewing other victims, and even used his relationship with the police and learned so things that cannot be made public.”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was racing but he said casually, “Your director is quite serious and responsible...”
He paused and asked casually, “So did he tell you about the things that can’t be made public?”
Tang Mianmian nodded and said unguardedly, “He said that the suspect caught by the police was actually a scientist who signed a non-disclosure agreent. The scientist was in charge of a confidential experint previously... Later that experint seed to fail, but the scientist refused to give up and secretly did the experint without telling anyone.”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was beating wildly, but he still tried to stay calm, “And then?”
“After the scientist was arrested, she was put in prison. It seems that she continued to study the original experint in prison. Later, I don’t know whether it was successful or not, but it seems that she has made a contribution against her sentencing.”
Xiao Tangqiu stared at Tang Mianmian, “...What do you an?”
Tang Mianmian looked around and whispered in Xiao Tangqiu’s ear, “I’m only telling you, you must not spread it! I heard that this scientist’s research project is how to wake up a brain-dead vegetative person who seems to be about to wake up. It’s been successful so far, and if this project can be successful to the end, it will surely shake the entire dical community!”
Xiao Tangqiu stared at Tang Mianmian, his mind went blank. After a while, he grabbed Tang Mianmian’s collar and asked, “Awakening a brain-dead vegetative person? Did it succeed? Did it succeed!”
Tang Mianmian was startled by Xiao Tangqiu and quickly pressed on Xiao Tangqiu’s shoulder to calm him down, “You calm down first, I heard that it is on the verge of success. But you know that this kind of major experint in the dical world is not a matter of wishing for success. If it is successful, even if it is really successful, you have to do trials, first on mice, and then on humans. It will take several years to say the least!”
“Several years? Several years...” Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a mont, “Several years is too long, I can’t wait, I can’t wait at all...”
Tang Mianmian looked puzzled, “Can’t wait? What do you an? Do you have friends or relatives who urgently need this technology?”
Xiao Tangqiu rubbed his face and suddenly cald down, “...Nothing, I just rembered a friend of mine.”
What if the technology succeeds a few years later? ng Xinghe couldn’t wait, he couldn’t wait, it was too late. It was too late for anything.
But when he rembered that the police didn’t find ng Xinghe’s body, he couldn’t help but hope. What if? There was always hope, even when it was one in a million chance.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly looked up at Tang Mianmian, “Do you know why ng... why that scientist turned herself in?”
He always thought that ng Qingqiu surrendered because ng Xinghe was dead, and her experint failed completely. So she surrendered in despair.
But now that he thought about it, was there another possibility?
