Memory Recall Capsule Details: An impressive first crime scene, no matter how much time has passed, it remains vivid in your memory – it can even help you recall the details of the crime at the time, allowing you to construct lies and testimonies more perfectly.
Excellent Climbing Details: The best choice for a perfect escape from the scene, the best partner for arson and murder. You can infiltrate the scene more stealthily to commit the crime, and you can also escape the scene more quickly.
Xiao He was very lucky this time, getting a total of one hundred days of lifespan, and also drawing one item and one skill.
To be honest, when he saw that there were items in this prize pool, Xiao He was indeed a little surprised.
This lottery pool was even more complex than he had imagined.
But these prizes...
they were truly hard to describe.
This Memory Recall Capsule, when taken, can help recall some imperceptible details from past memories – for example, after taking it, you can immediately recall the order of shoes on the shoe rack when you left the house on a certain day, or even recall which hand you used to wipe your bottom when you went to the toilet that day – of course, we usually use paper to wipe.
Anyway, if a student got this capsule, they would treat it like a treasure, just waiting to use it during the college entrance exam.
But for Xiao He, it wasn't of much use.
His memory was already quite good, and he was used to memorizing scripts every day, so he didn't have any need to recall specific details of an event. Xiao He currently had no use for this one-time consumable; he preferred to hoard it.
As for this “Excellent Climbing”... it should be quite useful when filming, right?
Next time, he could try a crime action film, write “can free-climb” on his resume, and the director might be very interested... Xiao He propped his chin, seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.
In a blink of an eye, the days came to the end of the year.
On the 31st, the crew had a half-day off, allowing everyone to enjoy New Year's Eve.
Coincidentally, He Junhao, Xiao He's roommate, had moved to a new residence and invited Xiao He to have New Year's Eve dinner together. So Xiao He declined other crew members' New Year's invitations and prepared to go find He Junhao.
After greeting the director in advance, Xiao He quietly left the crew.
However, not long after walking out of the Republic of China film area rented by the crew, Xiao He encountered someone somewhat unexpected ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ – Xu Youyou.
Although they had been filming at the same Film and Television Base, Xiao He had not seen her since the last incident.
Perhaps the last stalker incident was too frightening, as this time Xu Youyou was accompanied by two burly men in black, who looked like bodyguards.
Because Xiao He was wearing sunglasses and a mask, Xu Youyou didn't notice him, but one of the black-clad bodyguards with her vigilantly met Xiao He's gaze.
Xiao He was surprised and quickly averted his gaze, walking past them as if nothing had happened.
It was the scent of a kindred spirit!
This bodyguard was probably not very clean!
A black Bentley slowly approached from ahead, passed Xiao He, and stopped in front of Xu Youyou.
The car window slowly lowered, and Xu Youyou, seeing the person inside, forced a smile and whispered something to the person in the car. Then Xiao He saw a hand reach out from the car window, adjust Xu Youyou's hat, and tuck the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear.
Xu Youyou's smile froze for a moment, but she didn't avoid the other person's hand. Instead, she opened the car door and got in.
Immediately after, the two bodyguards got into the car, and the car slowly drove away.
Xiao He hissed softly, deep in thought.
Was the person in the car Su Shengxi? It didn't seem like it... But it also didn't look like Xu Youyou's own car.
How strange...
“Xiao Ge!”
At this moment, He Junhao, standing at the intersection ahead, excitedly waved to Xiao He.
Xiao He retracted his gaze, looked up at He Junhao, who was jogging over with a camera, and was a little surprised: “Why did you come directly?”
He Junhao replied with a smile: “Perfect, I'll record some footage in advance.”
Xiao He glanced at his camera: “Recording?”
“Yep, does Xiao Ge mind?”
“Not at all.” Xiao He was already used to the camera and even proactively greeted He Junhao's lens: “Hello everyone, I am Actor-Xiao He.”
“And my good brother, my college roommate for three years who shared a bed,” He Junhao said, hooking Xiao He’s shoulder with a proud smile.
Xiao He was embarrassed: “Who shared a bed with you? At most, we were feet-to-feet. Don't say anything so disgusting.”
He Junhao righteously said: “Then I ask you, did we use the same ladder for our bunk beds? When you moved on your bed, did I feel it too?”
Xiao He: “?”
Did some car wheel just run over something?
“Get lost, get lost immediately, don't ruin my image.”
He Junhao clutched his chest: “Wuwu, Xiao Ge, you've changed, you are such a cold and heartless person—”
Xiao He, playing along, stroked his chin as if in deep thought: “Since you've put it that way, shouldn't I settle my appearance fee with you properly?”
“No, Godfather!” He Junhao immediately changed his expression. “Mere money, how can it shake the father-son affection between you and me? I hope Godfather reconsiders and doesn't let money corrupt our father-son relationship.”
Xiao He snorted: “We'll see how you perform. I'm hungry, hurry up, I want to eat!”
“Alright, alright, Godfather, this way please!”
He Junhao obsequiously led the way for Xiao He, looking like a little eunuch on duty.
Since they were making a video, Xiao He tried his best to cooperate with He Junhao's words and jokes along the way. Fortunately, the two had great chemistry, and the conversation never went stale. They chatted and rode in the car until they arrived at the residential complex where He Junhao currently lived.
The apartment He Junhao rented this time was in a relatively new complex, close to the subway but far from the commercial district. Most of the residents were ordinary middle-class families who went to work during the day and came home to sleep at night. He Junhao was attracted to the semi-open kitchen of this unit and the lack of noise in the daily filming environment.
Moreover, both the complex and the apartment building entrances had access control, strictly managing who could enter and exit, ensuring security and privacy. The only drawback was that delivery drivers were not allowed inside, so residents had to go to the complex entrance to pick up their food.
“Come in and make yourself at home—”
He Junhao opened the door and gestured for Xiao He to find a seat. Xiao He then took off his hat and mask and began to carefully examine the room's decor.
It was a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, plus a very large semi-open kitchen. The overall layout was quite minimalist, only the stack of cardboard boxes at the entrance added a touch of clutter to the simplicity.
On the small table in the living room, everything for hotpot was already set up. Basically, they just needed to turn on the heat and cook, and they could start eating.
However, before that, He Junhao brought out a perfectly shaped skull and placed it on the table: “This time, I not only made hotpot, but I also made this—”
Xiao He was startled: “What is this thing?”
I came to visit, and you served me a head?
