To survive in perfect life, Han Fei repeatedly studied the Refrigerator Corpse Case and the Human Body Puzzle Case. He tried to analyze from the killer's perspective, often staring at the photos on the wall late at night.Those vibrant lives disappeared before him. Every time he thought of this, Han Fei felt a pang in his heart.Why would anyone do such cruel and terrifying things?Calming down to think, Han Fei used photos related to the cases to piece together the killer's image in his mind.Twisted mind, distorted emotions, driven by hatred, achieving their goals through extreme actions.Unlike the hysterical perception of criminals in the eyes of ordinary people, the killer possessed meticulous logic. Each crime was premeditated, not a momentary mental breakdown.Their expressions should be insane, their actions rational, and their brains should be missing many things. From them, one could not see love or sympathy; that selfishness, indifference, and hatred were ingrained in their bones.The puzzle formed by the corpses gradually became clear, and a blurry figure quietly emerged.He was introverted, selfish, and cold, with delicate emotions yet unable to communicate with the outside world. His personality was intelligent but contained abnormalities. He had always lived wearing a mask until his prey walked into an empty corridor.At that moment, he shed all his disguises and then revealed a smile.This smile was like a rose blooming over a graveyard, its roots deeply embedded in bones. The more splendid and beautiful it bloomed, the more cruel and filthy its heart was.Seeing Han Fei look up and smile, Zhan Lele hugged Director Jiang's arm, and both of them simultaneously took a step back.No one called cut, no one spoke. When Han Fei moved forward, Zhan Lele and Director Jiang retreated again until they hit the stair railing.The somewhat weak-kneed Zhan Lele wanted to hide behind Director Jiang. It was then that Director Jiang reacted, taking a sharp breath and sincerely nodding: "Excellent! Excellent! Han Fei, how about you play the villain in our drama? You're simply too suitable, perfectly natural. From your eyes to your expression, there isn't a hint of madness, yet anyone who sees you would probably be afraid."Zhan Lele's face turned pale. He stepped out from behind Director Jiang. In terms of acting, he was completely outmatched by Han Fei.Compared to Han Fei's performance, Zhan Lele's earlier acting was like a shamanistic dance, so embarrassing he felt his toes curl.Although Zhan Lele now wished he could crawl into a hole, he had to stand up for his role. The company had arranged everything, and if he lost the role because of himself, it would be difficult to explain back at the company.He opened his mouth, but the eloquent Zhan Lele suddenly found himself speechless. His acting was completely crushed; the gap was so huge that anyone with eyes could see it."Director, you're joking. My personality isn't actually suited for playing a villain." Villain roles usually have more scenes, and due to plot requirements, they also need to be filmed at the Residential Community at night. Han Fei's current focus is still on the game; staying alive is the priority.After speaking to the director, he looked at Zhan Lele, his expression very gentle: "You're probably better at variety shows, so it's hard to change that style for a while. I'm quite familiar with the Human Body Puzzle Case from ten years ago. I can tell you some relevant information later, which should help you better portray the villain role."Han Fei's words showed high emotional intelligence. Although everyone could see Zhan Lele's acting was terrible, Han Fei didn't mock him. He subtly conveyed that he had no intention of snatching the role and also kindly offered his help.At this point, Zhan Lele was completely sober. He looked at Han Fei as if he had a halo: "Did I meet an angel? A breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry!"No greed for roles, not self-centered, terrifyingly good at acting yet humble and willing to help others—who wouldn't like such a colleague?Seeing Han Fei at this moment, the Staff Members on set were very puzzled. Such a good person, why would that previous company be so blind as to fire him?Han Fei didn't waste time; he clearly pointed out several areas Zhan Lele needed to change based on his own experience.Playing a villain doesn't require being so neurotic; overacting can easily backfire. Director Jiang also strongly agreed with what Han Fei said.After they communicated for a while, although Zhan Lele's performance was still far from Han Fei's, it was at least less awkward.Standing silently nearby, Han Fei was just a small supporting actor. He knew that if he played the villain, the effect would be better, but now was not the time to step into the center stage.Through the corridor window, Han Fei looked across the old street. His former company's drama, urban secret love, was being filmed. The Set Manager said that the second male lead in this drama was the person who had snatched his role at the company before.If it were the old Han Fei, even knowing this, he would be powerless to change it. In the current era, it's difficult for individuals to contend with companies.However, after acquiring the healing game, Han Fei changed his original views. Wavering between life and death gradually strengthened his inner self."Nothing in this world is impossible."Turning his head to look at Zhan Lele, who was performing with great effort, Han Fei's expression remained calm. He could see the limitations in the other's acting; Zhan Lele's acting was simply too far behind his.Some people's acting is a talent, some people's acting is honed through extensive practice, while Han Fei's acting is a gift bestowed upon him by life and death.One take, no NG. If you don't act well, you die on the spot.Zhan Lele's first scene wasn't approved until the afternoon. For the second scene, Han Fei's acting provided support, and Director Jiang deliberately focused the camera on Han Fei, so Zhan Lele didn't have many shots. Thus, it passed with only two takes.As dusk fell, Han Fei, who had finished all of Wei Youfu's scenes in one go, prepared to leave.Just then, a decent car pulled up by the roadside. The exhausted Zhan Lele and his Agent stepped out together."Director Jiang is notoriously temperamental in the industry. Thank you for helping Lele smooth things over today." The Agent held a gift box, intending to hand it to Han Fei: "May I ask your name, Teacher?""My name is Han Fei.""Teacher Han, we hope you'll continue to help Lele in the future. Our company values Lele greatly, and his progress has been rapid after your guidance today." The Agent had genuinely seen the improvement in Zhan Lele's acting, which is why he came over."I didn't give any guidance; we just helped each other." Han Fei didn't accept the gift box. He just waved his hand, his mind still on deducing who the killer in the Refrigerator Corpse Case was."Teacher Han, I really have to thank you today. I drank too much last night, and it definitely won't happen again." Zhan Lele was a little younger than Han Fei. He had a lively personality and was indeed more suited for variety shows than acting. Perhaps being a comedian wouldn't be bad, though Han Fei would never say that aloud.
