Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: A play within a play

Hearing what the director said, everyone looked at Mallory together.

Things seemed a little strange, huh?

Mallory killed Guo's mother?

It's impossible for a human to kill a ghost, right?

You don't have any idea who the ghost is?

Guo's mother is not a ghost?

Then who is the ghost?

"The roast chicken is a little bit salty, I have to go get a cup of coffee." As if Mallory did not notice that the crowd was waiting for him to speak, he stood up and slowly took his coffee cup and went to the coffee machine to make a cup of coffee.

The director said nothing more, standing there without moving, because wearing a mask, no one knows what her expression is now.

Just then, Guo's mother finally came back from the street corner.

A face of anger.

The little white face hurriedly ran all the way up to meet her.

Little White Face was about to ask something when Guo's mother pushed him away.

Seeing the director standing right in front of the cafe door, Guo's mother sped up her steps and ran over.

"Director! I protest! Why do I play a ghost and still be sealed without ghost powers after I get off the bus? Yet he used a high stool to shoot me alive! This is a serious violation of the rules!" Guo's mother protested loudly to the director, speaking in a voice that kept shaking, it was obvious that the scene that happened in the bus station had left a great psychological shadow on her.

At that time she also finally understood why Mallory had to move a high stool around.

Just to smash her to death ah!

Bastard! Really died on top of his high stool!

"You play a ghost, you're not a ghost." The director coldly replied to Guo's mother.

"What do you mean?" Guo's mother was confused.

The others didn't really understand either.

The sunglasses woman, however, suddenly realized something, and she hurriedly came over and reached out to pick up Mallory's two stick sets.

Then she took Mallory's two bamboo sticks out of the sleeves.

Although Mallory had shown his signature to everyone in public, but now there is a problem, then the problem must be on his signature.

Sure enough, everyone was fooled by him!

Mallory drew two bamboo sticks, one with 'You play the lighting engineer' written on it, and the other with 'First stop off' written on it.

This is indeed true.

However, underneath the 'You play the lighting guy' bamboo stick, there were also three small, not-so-obvious words written on it.

"You are a ghost."

The sunglasses woman carefully recalled that when Mallory lit up the bamboo stick, it was ''snap! Ground slapped the bamboo stick on the table, but the bamboo stick only revealed the upper half of the five words 'you play the lighting engineer', his palm was still covered in the three small words 'you are a ghost'.

Because other people's sign only the upper half of the word, so no one thought that the lower half of the bamboo stick will have words.

So, is there a contradiction between 'you play the lighting engineer' and 'you are a ghost'?

No.

The sunglasses woman also figured it all out in a flash.

"What's going on? What do you mean I'm playing a ghost and not a ghost?" Guo's mother rushed over and grabbed Mallory's bamboo stick, confused and angry after seeing the three small words below Mallory's bamboo stick.

Everyone else in the room was also confused after seeing the bamboo stick.

"It's very simple, but it's a bit roundabout. This time the scene is not quite the same as a normal scene, it's a play within a play." The sunglasses woman opened her mouth.

"The eight of us are a crew in our own right, but this scene we're in, this play, we're playing another crew! And this crew is making a ghost movie, and the members of this crew are playing the lead role, and the supporting role, and the ghost, and the lighting crew, and the cameraman, and so on."

"The one playing the ghost, and just an ordinary actor in that crew."

"But the lighting technician, a ghost mixed into that crew! This bamboo sticker also states this 'you play the lighting engineer, you are a ghost', a ghost posing as a lighting engineer mixed into that crew, in that crew the ghost is in charge of the lighting engineer, and this ghost, is the real ghost."

"Except Mallory didn't let us see the second half of this bamboo stick."

"The director said that only one of the eight people is a ghost, not that only one of the eight people plays a ghost."

"The old demon woman drew 'playing a ghost', but she's not a ghost, she's just playing an ordinary actor in that cast, an ordinary actor playing a ghost."

"Mallory drew the lighting guy, and in the play we're playing, the lighting guy is the real ghost in that cast, the ghost who wants to get the cast members killed, so Mallory is the real ghost."

"One is the actor playing the ghost, and the other is the real ghost impersonating the lighting guy."

"The actress who played the ghost thought she was a ghost, but in fact she was just an actress who got off the bus with the lighting technician when she was riding the last bus, but actually got off the bus with the real ghost."

"Although that real ghost has no points in his account to redeem for ghost superpowers, he has a high stool ..."

"Although the actor who played the ghost had points in her account and even already had ghost superpowers, because she wasn't a ghost, she couldn't make those superpowers when she got off the bus."

"A ghost with no superpowers was with an ordinary actor who was playing a ghost, then got into a fight, and the ghost with no superpowers swung a high stool and smashed the ordinary actor to death."

"That's about how it happened, Mallory, am I right?"

The sunglasses woman took off her sunglasses and forced her eyes on Mallory.

Although this shooting was in the middle of the night, she still habitually wore sunglasses.

This was the first time she took off her sunglasses in front of people.

"Your eyes are so beautiful." Mallory replied.

"Give me back my chicken!" The sunglass woman put her sunglasses back on and reached out to grab Mallory's ear.

"I just said yes! I specifically asked you! 'You gave me this roast chicken of your own accord! I didn't cheat you out of it! Don't bullshit me after I eat it!' You said 'Yes, eat it.' I just ate it! Why are you so quick to backtrack? Beauty, be a good sport and be reasonable, okay?" Mallory reached out and grabbed the wrist of the sunglasses woman.

The man with glasses, who was watching from the side, wanted to bang his head against the wall after hearing Mallory say the words 'be a man of honor'.

This guy actually did not die, and also cheated a circle of sympathy.

What kind of people are these?

How can a person be shameless to such an extent?

How can a person who is so shameless still have the nerve to say something like 'be generous'?

"Is that so? Then what were you pretending to be when you came over? You are obviously the ghost, you killed someone, what are you doing with that downcast look? Who are you acting for?" If Mallory hadn't won her sympathy by looking like that, she wouldn't have bought him a chicken to eat.

"How did I act? When I was fighting with the old demon woman, the cashew nuts that I hadn't eaten fell out of my pocket, what a pity, I'm sad when I think of that, especially sad." Mallory was saddened.

"..."

"..."

"Okay, so then you also said 'It's about time, come and say goodbye to us.' What was that supposed to mean again? Trick us into sympathy?" The sunglasses woman continued to pursue the question, just for his words almost dropped tears, who knows actually cheated!

"This scene is finished, the time is indeed almost, Each return to their own pillar, and you say goodbye is wrong?" Mallory looked helpless.

"You still say you are dying people, investment in you is useless, is this not cheating sympathy?"

"You recall well, I never said from the beginning to the end that I was a dying person, I only said I was a person who was about to go, the shooting is over, you do not go ah?"

"You ..."

"I ..."

"Let go! Don't grab my wrist ah!"

"I'll let go if you don't grab my ears."
