“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”

The rain was pouring down heavily. A woman stumbled as she ran through the rain during this dark and gloomy night. She increased her pace and tried to run faster, and suddenly, her foot slipped, and her body fell forward into a puddle of water. Her soaking wet hair was covered in muddy water. The woman anxiously lifted her gaze upwards. At that moment, everything before her eyes looked like it had been painted red.

“Ah!”

A panic filled scream pierced through the night sky. The woman continued screaming as she crawled up from the ground. Right now, her skirt was no longer stained by muddy water, but bright-red blood.

Through the curtain of rain, one could clearly see rows and rows of tombstones without any inscriptions on them. The red-colored rainwater continuously gathered towards her feet.

At that moment, the mud on the tombstone closest to the woman suddenly moved, and a pale white hand slowly crept up from the grave. One hand, two hands, three hands… countless numbers of hands could be seen trembling in the red-colored rain.

“I… died so terribly!”

A pitiful cry was heard as if the voice came from a long time ago.

A female ghost in white slowly crawled out of those ghostly hands.

“Ah!”

…

“Cut!” Following the director’s voice, the heavy rain immediately stopped.

That’s right. This was a graveyard scene, and right now, they were filming the scene where the female lead encounters ghosts in the rainy night.

“Gross… I’m dirty all over.”

Luo Yinxin, the female lead, grumbled loudly as her assistant helped her back into her private van. She needed to immediately change her clothes and then go back and have a good shower to get rid of any bad luck.

……

“Thank you, Brother Li.”

As everyone started to pack up, and the stage managers started to clean up the filming location, the female ghost from before was smiling happily as she received today’s red packet1 from the assistant director.

Her name was Ning Huanxin. A 20-year-old, who was working as an extra in Lan Dian Cinema Studios, and she was commonly known to be ‘Dead Extra.’
