Chapter 435 (2/2)
Just recently, a horror film called “Chronicles of the Peculiar Black Cat” was trending on the internet. She took the opportunity to watch it during the day.
Of course, she must watch horror films during the day. In the real world, Li Lina was still rather timid. Sometimes, she really wished that she could become the ‘her’ in her dreams. The ‘her’ who was not afraid of anything…
In the midst of watching, the Dj vu struck her like a tidal wave. When she saw “herself” appearing in the film, she was stunned, even though she only had a few lines.
Wasn’t this the ‘her’ in her dreams?
Although the both of them looked similar, their temperaments were really different…
It was like a pair of twins separated at birth and raising them individually. One had been born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and the other grew up in poverty. Then, in their twenties, when they meet again, it would be apparent that the twins were now completely different from each other.
Therefore, even if Li Lina were to appear on the streets, nobody would recognize her. Currently, the most wanted people on the internet were actually the actors who played the roles of the fatty Liu Kang and the ghost Chu Renmei. Apart from those two, the other actors felt like background characters.
The more Li Lina watched the film, the more she recalled the contents of her “dreams.” Then, she began to panic…
For the first time, she had doubts. Were her dreams really dreams?
She began to recall how she felt when she was dreaming. In her dreams, she could not act on her own. It seemed like she had just transmigrated completely into the ‘Li Lina’ in her “dream.” She was only hitching her ride. Sometimes, when she woke up, she would completely forget everything, unless she encountered something that shook her. For example, she meeting a ghost for real.
Wasn’t that how dreams worked. Nobody would be aware that they were in a dream during the heat of the moment. Those who do would be able to spontaneously control their own actions.
Those who realized that they were dreaming were really lucky, for dreams could be really fun, once you knew how things worked. You could fool around in any way you wanted. You could create and destroy things as you wished. You could bone any beautiful lady you meet. Then, you would wake up only to embarrassingly realize that you need to change your underwear…
Now, Li Lina felt that she could already recklessly cook up a new main course based on her findings. Why have her dreams turned into a feature-length movie?
Or, was this movie was actually from another parallel universe?
As Li Lina was lost in thought, another hot news came up on the internet. Some guy had dug deep and pointed out that the detective in the group of backpackers seemed to be teacher Ou Yang!
Was teacher Ou Yang the screenwriter? He even cameoed in his own film!
Ou Yang happened to be sitting at home, contemplating on writing about a murder case in Feng Men village. In the blink of an eye, he had become an actor!
