Chapter 1
"Brother, brother?"

There was a shout that was getting closer and further away, the voice was erratic, but clear and moving, like a wind chime shaking.

who is it?

The chaotic consciousness seemed to become clear with this shout.

Liao Yuan wanted to react, but found that his body seemed to be filled with lead stones, so heavy that he couldn't extricate himself.

"Brother, wake up!"

Who is it?

It was as if a spring thunder exploded, igniting the throbbing in the heart, and the sound of the heart beating like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning sounded in my ears.

I'm not dead?
Liao Yuan struggled, trying to take a deep breath...

The next moment, the cold hands and feet gradually became conscious, and the blood in his body began to boil, but his chest seemed to be poured into a raging mudslide, making Liao Yuan feel as uncomfortable as drowning at this moment.

"I don't care about you. I'm going to be late soon. Let's talk when I come back."

The wind bell rang again.

In the darkness, there are bright spots rising and falling.

Gradually, the bright spot was like a scorching sun, emitting a dazzling light.

Liao Yuan felt the soreness in his eyes, and tears burst out unbelievably, and then his body gradually regained consciousness.

He finally opened his eyes and found himself lying sideways on the bed, the pillow was wet with tears from the corners of his eyes.

In the blurred vision, a girl with waist-length black hair and a pink and white striped skirt was hurriedly pushing the door away with her schoolbag on her back, and her slender white legs became more and more obvious as the skirt flew up. Pure and moving...

Wait!
Liao Yuan realized something, he suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up.

But the next moment, he only felt pain in his brain, as if something was hitting hard in his temple, trying to break through the surface.

He couldn't help patting his head, and with the buzzing sound, it seemed that there were countless 0s and 1s passing by.

After more than ten minutes, Liao Yuan regained his composure.

And... alive again?

Liao Yuan stared blankly at his hands.

White and slender fingers with well-defined joints and neatly manicured nails.

With a little movement, the dexterous hands are like spring swallows flying, walking in the air...

"These hands..."

He just stared at these beautiful hands, "It's a pity not to play the piano..."

After a while, Liao Yuan stood on the floor with bare feet, facing the fitting mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, the facial features are quite three-dimensional.

A handsome face with sharp edges and corners.

Compared with the appearance of the previous two lives, it is not too much, even... even worse.

"It seems... a new world again?"

Liao Yuan frowned, but then smiled.

Although I don't know who is controlling everything...

However, since he is here, he will naturally not give up every chance to live.

Liao Yuan closed his eyes, recalling the time before his death.

Day and night, surrounded by a dark world, in a room as silent as a deep valley, rats squeaking past, smelly garbage dumps...

The horror of dying...

Everything is extremely real.

He shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to forget all about the nightmare scene.

All kinds of yesterday, like water without a trace.

And now.

Life starts again...

Liao Yuan opened his eyes, shifted his gaze, and had a panoramic view of everything in the room.

The locker is naturally open, and looking around, there are only two sets of clothes that can be worn by oneself in the huge locker, and they are both black suits of the same shape...

Liao Yuan looked at the desk.

On the desk, in addition to neatly arranged documents and a laptop, there is also a pair of photos decorated with glass photo frames.

In the photo are a pair of young men and women, one of whom is himself, smiling brightly.

The other was a familiar black-haired girl.

Looking carefully, under her slender and thick eyelashes, a pair of watery eyes are revealing a look of pride.

The slender and moist lips were slightly opened, and the white teeth were slightly exposed. One hand was more like scissors, and the other was around his neck, as if to say: "I am the big brother."

Liao Yuan's heart was suddenly touched, and the information in his mind swept in again, making him smile involuntarily.

Brother and sister?
Afterwards, he hesitated a little, then sat down at the desk, opened his laptop, and searched for the general situation of the world with a search engine.

China...

2021...

The more Liao Yuan checked, the more frightened he became.

Everything... has changed?

have changed.

Liao Yuan became more and more silent as he watched.

The once-familiar entertainment industry has once again become extremely strange.

In the era when talents came forth in large numbers, all walks of life were meticulously archived.

Including but not limited to winning the lottery, all opportunities to get rich overnight are almost synonymous with delusion.

In the entertainment circle, the labor costs, salaries, etc. of celebrities are also strictly managed by relevant departments.

It seems that all the opportunities to reach the sky in one step that should have appeared will not appear easily again.

Sky-high appearance fees and endorsement fees have almost disappeared in this country.

Except for making money with rich knowledge and outstanding skills, it seems that there is no possibility of climbing upward.

With the continuous page search, the information stored in Liao Yuan's mind was completely activated.

All the memories of this time and space were restored in an instant.

All the images filled my mind.

Every scene is as real as if he experienced it personally, which gave Liao Yuan an illusion of time travel.

"Three days, three more days!"

Liao Yuan stared at the blank document that had been open for an unknown amount of time on the screen, and murmured, "So, this is why you summoned me..."

……

Liao Yuan's predecessor was a midnight radio anchor. Due to the nature of his work, his predecessor lived a day and night life upside down every day.

And the program he broadcast on the radio is called "The Strange Things in the World".

The broadcast time is from midnight to two o'clock. It is said that it was once a very popular midnight program, and it has been broadcast for eight years.

In the glorious period, the listening rate of this program channel reached the first place in the same period.

But with the passage of time, with the continuous alternation of old anchors and new anchors, in Liao Yuan's class, among all the programs at the same time, the audience rating of "The Strange Things in the World" can be called the bottom of the crane.

Every time the station's program ratings are evaluated, it is also the last one every time.

This directly caused Liao Yuan's predecessor to basically be unable to lift his head when walking around the stage.

Therefore, in addition to going to and from work mechanically every day, and collecting free manuscripts with public copyrights from the people, the two hours of punctual broadcasting after midnight every day is the whole life of Liao Yuan.

This kind of life is pale and weak, and there is hardly much future in sight.

Due to various factors, Liao Yuan became more silent, and even became depressed, relying on oral sleeping pills every day to fall asleep.

What's even more frightening is that not long ago, the head of the station issued a death order--"Strange Things in the World" will be banned in the near future.

And with the banning of "Strange Things in the World", the host of the show, Liao Yuan, seemed to be on the verge of being fired from the station.

In this world, employees who have been publicly dismissed will have a terrible job hunting fate.

Because there are sound laws and a huge social Internet as the basis, when an employee is fired by a company, it means that the employee's resume will immediately show the stain of being fired——

This will make the employee's subsequent job hunting career encounter extremely severe challenges.

This is not the result that Liao Yuan wants to see at the moment.

In his previous life, he ostentatiously squandered the knowledge and abilities he acquired in the first life, and made a splash in the second life.

Although he became a highly anticipated super star, in the end, he was kidnapped and torn apart.

And the reason for the kidnapping made him feel extremely ridiculous...

But, is it really ridiculous?
Liao Yuan fell silent.

If it wasn't for the abnormal and coveted performance after time travel, Liao Yuan's final achievements in his previous life would definitely not only be at the top of the domestic entertainment industry.

But life starts again, facing a completely different world, Liao Yuan has the idea of ​​keeping a low profile.

For a different life?

The idea is good, but before that, he must ensure that he can live comfortably...

In particular, there is also a younger sister who lives in her own home and thinks about becoming a star all day long...

Survival pressure is simply huge!
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately sat down at the desk, turned on the laptop, and began to recall some classic horror stories from his previous life.

But it's a pity that he doesn't have many opportunities to be exposed to horror stories.

Due to the environment in his previous life, most of the scripts given to him by the producers were popular genres such as workplace dramas and costume dramas.

But there are traces to follow.

Liao Yuan looked at the blank text, closed his eyes gently, and began to meditate.

This is a habit left over from previous lives.

Whenever he thinks deeply, he will fall into a mysterious and mysterious state, just like an old monk in meditation, his mind is still for a moment.

But meditation isn't always successful, and occasionally the mind goes empty.

But if successful...

At this moment, strands of thoughts in the mind, like a soul coming out of the body, quickly passed through layers of obstacles in a short period of time, and came to another time and space...

"Mr. Liao, who do you want to thank the most for winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor this time?"

"A Yuan! You succeeded! You succeeded! The sales of the new album exceeded one million in a single month, platinum! You have certified platinum!"

"Liao Yuan, I'm warning you for the last time. After signing this contract, we are still friends. You and I will make a lot of money. If you don't sign, there will be no room for you in the entire entertainment industry!"

"Score 718 in the college entrance examination! I'll fuck it, son, you're really good! Dad is proud of you!"

"The most popular artist in the 31st Asian Entertainment Circle: Liao Yuan! Congratulations to Liao Yuan!"

"God of song! God of song!"

The cell division speed of the brain accelerated, and the wheel of memory also began to quickly crush fragmented time.

After only one minute, Liao Yuan felt that his breathing was a little cloudy.

He began to have difficulty breathing.

After another minute, there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

The high-intensity operation of the brain made him feel nauseous like riding a roller coaster and wanting to vomit.

but……

Not found, not found!
Still not found!
I searched all the time tracks, but I didn't find a single ghost story!

Liao Yuan felt a little anxious in his heart. At the same time, he felt his nasal cavity was salty, and then it was more like getting into the cold wind, which made his entire nasal cavity feel hot and painful.

Flipping through the history, countless pictures quickly passed through my mind.

At the last moment, the desired picture finally appeared in Liao Yuan's mind.

"Ayuan, there is a video site that wants to ask you to make a movie. I read the script and it's pretty good. It's called "Soul Ferry". Are you interested in watching it?"

"By the way, there is something I almost forgot. Well, this "White Night Chasing the Murderer", do you understand? I heard that the script alone has been prepared for three years, and the producer appointed you to play the male lead, and it is alone Playing two roles, I have a general understanding of the plot, suspense reasoning type, this type is very popular in the market."

"Ah Yuan, good news, don't you like to watch "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" these days? Its movie version has been won by the company, and it is about to start shooting. This is a super IP, and the book fan base is all over the country. The next male number one..."

"Yes, it's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"! As mentioned above, we won't favor anyone this time. The male number one wants you to compete fairly with Akun and the others."

Ghost blowing lights?
Ghost blowing lights!
Liao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, but he felt that his eyes were darkened, and he almost fell down.

Dizzy, he quickly bent down to find the trash can, "vomited", and poured out stomach acid and bile.

But he couldn't care less about this, and the clear picture in his mind was gradually fading away.

He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth casually, then returned to the computer, opened the document, and in his real memory, began typing the words about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in his mind on the keyboard.

"My grandfather's name is Hu Guohua..."
