A murder case occurred in the Jiufen scenic area, forcing the film crew to interrupt shooting. After all the actors gave statements, they were not allowed to leave Jiufen.
Fan Xiaotong was severely traumatized and needed to rest in the hospital for a few days. For this reason, Yu Qing specially arranged for someone to take care of her.
The ten comics caused a stir in Kunyang. Many celebrities came forward to urge people not to imitate them, but they were met with ridicule. Some even threatened that the next photo would be of a certain celebrity.
Su He woke up from a nap and had lunch with the Hou Police Officer at the police station.
"I've been a police officer for twenty-five years, and this is the first time I've encountered a case where a comic turned people into demons... The killers are spread all over Kunyang, and the police can only passively wait and then collect the bodies of the victims..."
The Hou Police Officer had not slept for two days. In the morning, on Tan Peng's phone, he witnessed a murder. The cruel killer killed a female university student right in her classroom!
By the time the police arrived, the female student was already dead, and the killer died after falling while fleeing in a hurry.
The killer's identity was that of an ordinary plumber.
So far, a total of five women had been killed.
This also meant that at least five more women were currently being harmed or about to be harmed.
Su He kept his head down, eating. He was also powerless over this case. The killer could be anyone, and there was no machine in this world that could detect the goodness or evil in a person's heart.
Suddenly, three choices appeared before him.
"Option one: Knock out the Hou Police Officer so he can get some sleep. Reward for completion: 10,000 New Taiwan dollars."
"Option two: Comfort the Hou Police Officer, telling him: 'It's not all bad, this way you can catch a few more killers, and your year-end bonus will definitely double.' Reward for completion: 50,000 New Taiwan dollars."
"Option three: End the case prematurely. For every life not lost, reward of 100,000 New Taiwan dollars."
Su He was slightly taken aback, but continued eating while staring at the Hou Police Officer.
The second option could be ruled out without thinking; it was too insulting and would offend the Hou Police Officer directly.
Maintaining a good relationship with the police was Su He's secret to avoiding interrogation rooms.
Looking carefully at option one, it was clearly a trap. If he dared to act on it, he would be charged with assaulting an officer.
Option three, according to previous speculation, meant that at least five more victims remained. If no one else was harmed from now on, he could get 500,000 New Taiwan dollars.
"Su He, why are you staring at me?" The Hou Police Officer noticed Su He had been staring at him intently for a full minute.
"Ahem... Hou Police Officer, why don't you go get some sleep first? Leave the rest to me!"
Upon hearing this, the Hou Police Officer was stunned and quickly asked, "You have a solution?"
...
Yu Qing had never imagined that one day, he would take such explicit photos. In the staged hospital room, a woman was tied to the bed, her body severed at the waist, but not completely detached. Her organs were stuffed into the severed opening, mixed with blood and water.
A nail protruded halfway out from the woman's forehead, and her mouth was stitched shut with thick thread, forming a bizarre smile.
The white bedsheet was soaked with fresh blood, and two eyeballs were placed on her palms.
Yu Qing stared at the scene he had spent three hours staging and couldn't help but marvel, "Even I, a pervert, find this extremely perverted!"
"Director, what did you say?" Su He walked over carrying a bucket of pig's blood.
"Nothing, it's ready. I've replicated that comic exactly as you asked."
Su He took a look, casually snapped a photo with his phone, and sent it to the Hou Police Officer. Turning to Yu Qing, he said, "Director, that's enough. Move on to the next comic..."
Was that it?
Using the excuse of assisting the police investigation, Su He had Yu Qing stage fake murder scenes, replicating the layouts from the comics, and uploaded them to the internet ahead of time.
As long as they completed all ten comics quickly, this crisis could be resolved.
In return, the police agreed to let the crew continue filming in Jiufen.
To maintain secrecy, only the prop master and Yu Qing were involved in staging the murder scenes. Su He sent the photos he took to the Hou Police Officer, and the rest was out of his hands.
With the first experience under their belt, the subsequent setups went much faster. It wasn't until 2:30 AM that they finished shooting all the photos.
"When I return to the capital, I'll definitely make this into a movie... Su He, you can play the role of the comic artist..." After more than ten hours of work, Yu Qing wasn't tired at all. In fact, he was excited and had even come up with a name for the film: 'Ten Comics.'
The next day, the crew's filming resumed. Yu Qing looked exhausted, his dark circles particularly prominent.
Su He had a major role today, a chase scene with the police. Originally, a stunt driver was arranged for him, but as soon as Su He saw the sports car, he couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to drive it himself.
After Su He performed a drift, Yu Qing finally agreed to his request.
In the car, the cinematographer sat in the passenger seat. As Su He gently pressed the accelerator, the sports car charged out like a ferocious beast.
The camera captured Su He gripping the steering wheel with one hand, holding a cigarette in the other. After a drift, the ash on the cigarette hadn't even fallen off.
Su He's eyes were wild with madness. He shouted loudly, flooring the accelerator, wanting to experience the ultimate speed.
After one lap, Su He stopped by the roadside. The cinematographer in the passenger seat opened the door and got out, vomiting profusely.
"Su He, why... why were you driving so fast? The police cars behind us were left in the dust!"
Su He scratched his head sheepishly and laughed, "Director, it was my first time driving a sports car. I got a little excited..."
The remaining footage was shot by the stunt driver. Su He filmed a few solo scenes and monologues, and that scene was wrapped up.
Yu Qing watched the footage the cinematographer brought back. On screen, Su He was like a madman, howling in release at extreme speeds. Whenever he glanced at the camera, his eyes were cold and merciless.
This was Su He's interpretation of the character, a madman coexisting with rationality - a wealthy heir who was sometimes crazy, sometimes calm, outwitting the police on cliff edges with intelligence and daring. Even though his ending wasn't good, his portrayal gave depth to the villain.
After filming, Su He left the set alone, planning to explore the area.
Jiufen was especially enchanting at night. Couples strolled hand-in-hand, coming to take commemorative photos. The ancient streets and various local delicacies, with their bright red lanterns, made one feel as if they had stepped into the world of 'Spirited Away.'
Su He took many photos and sampled the local specialties. Following the winding mountain path upwards, he reached the summit.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the view opened up. Taking a deep breath, Su He prepared to take a selfie.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Su He, the eleventh comic has appeared..."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
