Chapter 987: Chapter 985: 9
Yi Chen was well aware that the failed beheading was the inevitable outcome,
The constraints of the script absolutely did not allow him to kill Miles, and the blade given by the tool group, no matter how solid, would inevitably become fragile during the execution of ‘beheading’, impossible to cut through the opponent’s neck.
Even so,
Yi Chen still did not hesitate, did not falter.
Even if the blade completely shattered in the process, the right arm did not pause for a moment, as if still holding an invisible blade to complete the final beheading.
Beheading failed.
Swish!
The cold dining knife pierced through Yi Chen’s chest, absolute brute force lifting him high into the air.
Such a beautiful scene could serve as the final act’s finale, but just as the director signaled that filming was over, he suddenly felt a sense of incongruity, something seemed off.
It wasn’t until the director’s gaze landed on the bright red blood splattered on the ground that he finally realized the problem.
“No, Yi Chen’s blood isn’t red! Quickly zoom in on the face of the second male lead.”
As the camera focused on the ‘second male lead’ pierced through the chest and lifted in the air by Miles,
The scene did not show Yi Chen at all but rather a supporting role already killed by Miles, without realizing when he was replaced.
Like a specter, Yi Chen continued to dance.
If attention was not drawn to Miles, it was actually easy to notice that after completing the body swap, Yi Chen kept stepping with agile dance moves along the edge of the camera.
He had once again come to Miles’s side,
Clearly without any weapon in his hand, he quickly sliced through Miles’s newly healed tendons and ligaments, making the opponent kneel on the ground once more.
[Beheading]
Due to the script’s constraints, Yi Chen’s movements would not be too fast, allowing for precise capture by the camera.
Yi Chen shaped his right hand into a hand blade position, with a golden aura from his breath vaguely lingering around his palm,
The process of the hand blade’s strike,
His entire center of gravity syncs with the motion, descending.
His gaze was filled with the resolution for execution, a firm judgment against malice,
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking spread,
Even though Miles’s neck was incredibly solid under the script’s influence, even though he had prepared in advance to prevent a beheading, it was still cut open by about one centimeter.
Of course, the breaking bones were not Miles’s cervical vertebra but Yi Chen’s right hand used for chopping, the entire hand suffering a crushing fracture.
However, the golden aura wandering within his body tightly connected the shattered bones, allowing the hand blade position to be maintained.
The second attempt at beheading had a noticeable effect.
Even William, watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but clench his fists, sweating profusely.
Nonetheless, filming would not proceed so smoothly.
Because Yi Chen, repeatedly gaining the upper hand, showed a tendency to suppress Miles, the script absolutely did not allow supporting roles to dominate the scene or camera.
Buzz! The doubled script constraint immediately took effect.
The dancing Yi Chen noticeably slowed down, even producing distinct joint noises during his movements.
The instant his speed slowed down, Miles seized the opportunity, grabbing Yi Chen’s shoulder! He even used brute force to crush the shoulder collarbone, all five fingers piercing through clothing and blood and flesh.
This time, he wouldn’t kill the wrong person.
Oddly, Yi Chen, caught and completely restricted, still maintained a chilling smile, even the curve of his mouth widened.
Miles once again raised the dining knife, endless malice gathering at the blade, this strike would be even more threatening than before.
Huff…
Yet Yi Chen continued to step into dance-like movements under the script’s constraint, moving his whole body, making a quick twist… Swish! The area of the grabbed shoulder was completely torn and severed.
Since the shoulder was firmly grasped, Yi Chen simply abandoned it,
The freed Yi Chen did not dodge sideways, but rather advanced a step forward, at the same time the strike descended, he clamped Miles’s arm joints with both hands.
Borrowing power to exert force,
Due to the immense power of the strike, Yi Chen took this opportunity to execute a perfect over-the-shoulder throw.
Boom!
A pit was slammed into the ground.
Of course, such a throw could not cause significant damage to Miles’s physical body, at most just some dizziness.
Just as Miles was supporting himself on the ground with one hand, preparing to stand up.
[Slash]
Standing on the side, Yi Chen had already assumed a beheading stance.
A perfect arc fell, and the unsuspecting Miles, who was just getting up, was once again struck, marking the third slash targeting his neck area.
The originally slashed wound completely split open this time, exposing the vertebrae.
Clang!
The abnormally sturdy vertebrae perfectly blocked this slash; beheading was still far from achievable.
…
Regarding Yi Chen’s performance,
the members of the crew on site were all stunned. They knew very well that the script’s constraints were inviolable, and ultimately, Yi Chen, as the second male lead, was destined to die, but they did not expect him to achieve so much before his death.
Even the ‘Happy Family’ who came to watch the show were wide-eyed in astonishment.
They had previously interacted with the former Tenth Disaster and were well aware of how high the opponent’s one-on-one level was,
though now it’s just borrowing the physical form of others and spreading the concept of Disaster across the entire crew, the one-on-one scenario wouldn’t differ much.
But this relentless suppression was baffling to the Eighth Disaster.
The mother of the family said,
“He’s become stronger than the last time he escaped to the hotel. His talent on the ‘Murderer’ level doesn’t seem to be inferior to Miles… But it’s strange~ even if he’s really become stronger, it shouldn’t have resulted in such a one-sided situation.
But, one thing is certain.
This young man named Yi Chen seems to be indeed of our ‘kind,’ but an anomaly among us.
Within him resides a ‘special intention of evil,’ different from us, whose evil thoughts have been precipitated and accumulated by the world’s malice, then transformed through literary expression.
His evil is generated internally, untreated and unprocessed, the most primitive source of evil.
This guy must die! Once he is killed, his inner malice will gush out, nourishing the soil around us, which might change the entire City of Evil or give birth to a new Disaster.”
Thinking of this, the Eighth Disaster couldn’t help but move their body, wanting to forcibly intervene and execute Yi Chen on the spot.
The director was gulping down the saliva that kept secreting.
He, as a top-level figure in the crew, knew well the operational rules of the “Tenth Disaster” within the crew. The current Yi Chen was severely violating the script and should be subject to the highest level of script constraint.
Why can he still tread with seemingly light steps?
Why can he still maintain a suppressive state against Miles?
“One reason is that Yi Chen’s state is excellent, having retrieved his former Ego, and is best at this kind of conventional slaughter.
Two, someone here doesn’t really want to win.”
As the director cast these questions in his mind, he suddenly heard a strange response.
He quickly turned to look at the crowd behind him; everyone was focused on watching the shooting venue, unable to identify who had given the response.
The sight briefly passed over the Big Pus Eyes cleaner but didn’t linger.
As he turned back, facing the site again.
The fourth beheading had already been completed,
and the vertebrae of Miles showed slight cracks, while Yi Chen’s right leg also lost a big chunk of flesh, though it wouldn’t affect his dance.
The Moonlight Killer – Michael Myers maintained his slaughter image from the movies, with relatively slow actions.
Even though he could hurt Yi Chen, he would only cut away a part of the flesh, still being led by the opponent’s killing dance.
Crack!
The eighth slash perfectly achieved its objective.
Miles’ neck vertebrae, full of cracks, finally broke, completely severing, and his body followed in losing connection and softened, kneeling.
No need to overdo it,
the wounded Yi Chen continued to deliver the ninth slash, completely cutting off the remaining fleshy connection on the neck, grabbing Miles’ hair with another hand, and hoisting his head high into the air.
“This!”
The on-site crew members were all stunned.
“Impossible~ this severely violates the script, it will cause problems!”
“Quickly arrange a new script, a script where Miles can be revived, have the next lead ready to go on stage at any moment.”
Just as the crew members were panicking because the script was out of order, the director saw something different and a new storyline that excited him.
“No… the script isn’t the problem! As long as Miles is the sole survivor, with everyone else dead, the script is correct!
Lighting crew, quickly focus on Yi Chen and create as much of a moonlight effect as possible!”
As soon as the director’s words fell,
Yi Chen, raising Miles’ head, separated the mask from the lead Bandi’s head,
as the solitary light illuminated his entire body, with the crew’s cameras fully focused on him, Yi Chen donned the mask of the former Tenth Disaster on his head.
