Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 20 The Villa on the Mountain (1)

Gu Shijiu woke up alone again this time, but fortunately she was not injured or in pain.

The pain was quite unpleasant, she exhaled.

It smells terrible around me.

It seemed as if I was lying in a closed space.

It was dark everywhere, and the stench was coming in from all directions, as if there were countless fermented rotten eggs or piles of dead rats rotting.

Reaching out to the side, I touched several walls made of wood.

The walls had an oily, sticky feel, like the stove in a substandard restaurant that had been used for years but never cleaned.

Because there was no light, Gu Shijiu touched the oily and slippery substance as she groped along the wall.

An even stronger stench wafted from her fingers into her nasal cavity, making her feel so nauseous she almost vomited.

Even worse, the surrounding air seemed to be decreasing.

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger, and Gu Shijiu involuntarily gasped for breath.

With each breath, the stench rushed into my mouth.

She's never suffered like this before; she'd rather be dead.

Gu Shijiu struggled to get up and bumped her head against the wall with a thud; it turned out that the wall above was also enclosed.

She twisted her body again, and as a result, she bumped into the four walls.

The space was shockingly cramped.

Where exactly is this place? I hope this isn't the end of filming already.

Faced with such a vivid sense of death, Gu Shijiu was still afraid and started to cry.

"Ajiu? Is that you, Ajiu?" Fortunately, Shi Qi was nearby this time. Hearing the crying, he rushed over from a distance.

Gu Shijiu calmed down a little and pounded on the wall with her hand: "Where is this, Shi Qi? I'm about to die."

“Uh, this is a coffin—” Shi Qi said as she dug into the soil.

He had just heard a familiar crying sound and, knowing it was Gu Shijiu, he came in that direction.

It's just that this area is all cemetery, but thankfully they're all buried in the ground. If it were a public cemetery, he really wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Shi Qi dug until he was covered in sweat, and finally dug out the coffin.

Gu Shijiu's voice grew softer and softer until it could no longer be heard.

"Ah Jiu, are you alright?" Now that filming is over, it's like we came for nothing.

"Still alive." Although the voice was weak, he was not dead.

Shi Qi tried to lift the coffin lid, but couldn't.

Although his combat strength increased by a few points, it only meant he was slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

He remembered Gu Shijiu's skill: "Ajiu, aren't you strong enough to lift a cauldron? Try to see if you can break this coffin open?"

"Oh, I don't remember." Gu Shijiu nodded repeatedly.

This is a passive skill; she will maintain this state as long as she moves.

Although her combat strength is only 5, her level 4 strength, which allows her to lift a cauldron, is enough for her to open the coffin lid.

"Huff—huff—" Gu Shijiu easily pushed open the lid of his coffin and immediately straightened up, panting heavily.

The bright light outside hurt her eyes, and she instinctively covered them with her hands.

Then I saw that my arm looked like a dried-up corpse, with rotting flesh falling off to reveal the muscles and tendons inside.

My head hurts. Last time I woke up in a mass grave, this time in a coffin. I hope next time I won't be in the underworld.

Gu Shijiu stared blankly at the mangled flesh covering his body, a sight too gruesome to bear.

Shi Qi intended to help her out of the coffin, but as soon as she reached out, she pinched off a piece of rotten flesh: "Ah, sorry, does it hurt?"

"It hurts so much it's not painful anymore, it's just nauseating." Having been buried in the coffin for so long, Gu Shijiu couldn't even vomit.

The script is here.

It turns out that both of them were extras.

This time the script was even more perfunctory; perhaps they were just too unimportant, not even having any lines.

A small group of hikers went on an adventure into the mountains, but were suddenly caught in a heavy snowfall, making the mountain paths impassable.

They happened to see a luxurious villa on the mountainside and went there for help.

Unexpectedly, after going through life-or-death trials here, only two of them made it out – the male and female protagonists, of course.

In the process of outwitting and outmaneuvering the villains, the male and female protagonists occasionally make fools of themselves, and naturally, their teammates die as a result.

Every time they encounter danger, the male and female protagonists manage to escape unscathed, but it's hard to say about the other teammates.

In TV dramas, this kind of situation is quite common.

During this process, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is elevated, transforming them from boyfriend and girlfriend into each other's strong support.

After leaving the mountain, they went back and got married.

After getting married, they stopped participating in these hiking activities and returned to a happy family life.

As for Gu Shijiu, she was just a low-level zombie summoned by the big boss in the penultimate episode.

He only appeared once throughout the entire film; he was a typical extra.

Shi Qi is the tomb keeper.

His scene involves seeing the zombie break out of its coffin and head towards the villa on the mountain.

The camera only showed their backs, not even their faces.

Even Gu Shijiu had no trouble reading this simple one-page plot.

“So let’s head towards the villa.” Her face was bruised and purple, but her eyes showed eagerness.

Shi Qi thought this was a good suggestion; they needed to be closer to the main characters and the main filming location to secure more screen time.

only--

"Ah Jiu, can you even walk like that?"

Shi Qi looked at Gu Shijiu with a suspicious look. All the muscles in her body were hanging on her body, but her bones were fine.

If you don't have muscles, can you even walk?

She's even losing weight as she walks; with that kind of figure, I hope she won't be taken in by someone before she even reaches the villa.

"It's alright." Gu Shijiu lifted her leg out of the coffin.

Shi Qi: Yeah, it's not bad, but I might not even make it to the villa before I'm just a skeleton.

The two sat beside the coffin, resting their chins on their hands, trying to come up with a solution. In the end, they used the tattered clothes on Gu Shijiu's body as bandages to forcibly bind all the flesh of her body together.

It looks like a mummy, made of brightly colored strips of cloth, and the design is quite unique.

"Hey, it's broad daylight. Aren't you a zombie? Why aren't you afraid of the sunlight?" Shi Qi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Shijiu had no idea: "Even zombies don't lose all their flesh, do they?"

"Hmm, maybe my cultivation level isn't high enough? Are there any ways to improve my cultivation?"

This looks like a mystical world. If Gu Shijiu goes out looking like this, she's likely to get punched by a Taoist master.

Shi Qi recalled the literary works she had read: "Do you have any lingering memories in your mind that can enhance your power or something?"

"My head makes a 'duang duang' sound when I shake it, it's almost turned into water, there's nothing there."

Gu Shijiu shook his head.

Shi Qi wanted to try using her gentle, nurturing touch, but ultimately didn't dare.

This "Spring Breeze and Gentle Rain" is a healing spell, very effective when used on humans, but when used on zombies...

I'm afraid it might have the opposite effect.

"So we're just going to go out like this?" Shi Qi asked, watching Gu Shijiu adjust the bandages on her body.

"Go, go, go. If you, an unarmed mortal, are not afraid, why should I be afraid?"

Gu Shijiu pulled Shi Qi away from the cemetery.

At worst, we'll just wrap up filming, hehe.
