My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 265

Chapter 265: 265

To not affect the actors and to not miss out on any money shots, Director Zhang did not assign any camerapersons inside the building but instead installed more than 30 motion capture cameras. They would capture the chase scene from multiple angles. Currently everyone was watching the video nervously inside the new editing room set up on the first floor. Bai Xian’s stunt double was a retired track runner, as well as a VIP member of Xin Lu’s Parkour Club. He probably mistook Director Zhang’s meaning because he didn’t follow the script at all. He did not slow down when he was supposed to but instead picked up speed instead.

As Bai Xian’s stunt double charged downwards at full speed, a bad feeling gripped Director Zhang. He was ready to call for a cut but something unexpected happened! Han Fei also exploded in a burst of speed! The agile movements and amazing speed stunned Director Zhang, how did a comedy actor become so good at physical acting? He even managed to shake off a professional parkour athlete?

The chase did not stop. Even just from following the different cameras, Director Zhang’s heart raced. Neither party followed the script. The chase should have stopped on the 4th floor where the Doctor missed the killer. However, to Director Zhang’s surprise, Han Fei raced past the fourth floor, leaped over the banister at the 3rd floor and landed on the 2nd floor. If this was because Han Fei was too into character, then what happened next was so out of character. After he steadied himself, everyone saw Han Fei in the video take out a metallic nun chuck from under his costume. With some quick assembly, the weapon turned into a metal staff. “What the hell is that?” The prop manager was stumped. He shared a look with Director Zhang. They had worked together for decades already and this was the first time they encountered an actor who entered the set with their own weapon. Before they could decide what to do, a scream came from inside the building. On the camera, the armed Han Fei turned around and ran upstairs to chase after the Doctor instead!

“What the?!” Director Zhang’s brain short-circuited. Everyone in the room turned to the director, waiting for his directions. Han Fei finally met up with the retired athlete in the narrow corridor. Bai Xian’s stunt double shook his arm and a non-metallic knife fell out from his sleeve into his grasp. When the confused Director Zhang saw the knife, he was confirmed this wasn’t supposed to be in the script. Then the scary possibility dawned on him. ‘The stunt double really intends to kill Han Fei? He’s the criminal the police have been attempting to catch?!’ The moment that thought entered his mind, Director Zhang shouted, “Quick, we need to go and rescue Han Fei!”

Looking at Han Fei who was armed with a dangerous weapon and glared fiendishly at the stunt double, the crew thought Director Zhang had gotten the names mistaken. Weren’t they supposed to rescue the stunt double? If not, the Doctor in the movie would really be killed by Han Fei!

The room door shoved open and everyone rushed into the building. Director Zhang’s assistant hurried to notify the nearby police officers. Everyone mobilized.

Standing at the eye of the storm, Han Fei gripped the staff and steadied himself against the stunt double that stood between the 2nd and 3rd floor. Compared to the hidden knife, Han Fei was more concerned about the ghost which followed behind him. Being exposed to such a dangerous situation, Han Fei believed he should at least feel some nervousness or panic but perhaps he had been playing that game for too long, he felt no trace of fear. His brain started to think of the solution instinctively. Compared to the ghosts and murderers in the cryptic world, the charmed stunt double was as harmless as a child, the real danger was the thing behind the actor.

‘The breathing is too erratic and the eyes should not wander like that. The way you hold the knife is not right either. As a murderer, shouldn’t you at least know these basics?!’ His leg muscles tensed and Han Fei shot out like a loosened arrow! His arm waved and the staff swung downwards!

The sound of bone cracking came from the stunt double’s wrist. He already tried his best to avoid the hit but he was still too slow. The other party was so good at fighting that he didn’t seem like a normal actor. The angle of his every movement was precisely calibrated and he had a wealth of knowledge in actual fighting. The actor’s right arm dulled. His hand that grabbed the knife weakened and the knife clattered to the ground.

After disarming the man, before the enemy had the chance to react, Han Fei swung the staff at the actor’s knees!

If this hit connected, the actor would collapse to the ground and wouldn’t even have the chance to escape anymore. Han Fei’s tactical mind was sharp. First he neutralized the threat and then he neutralized the person. Han Fei’s combat experience shocked the stunt double. The stunt double retreated to avoid the attack. As his right arm swung weakly beside him, the stunt double turned subconsciously to retreat up the stairs. He didn’t even stop to pick up his knife.

Han Fei glanced at the knife but he did not move to pick it up because it might muddle the culprit’s fingerprint. Han Fei looked like the offending party but he knew very well that if he was the one wielding a dagger or knife, it would be hard to make the appeal that he was only defending himself. Someone could have easily framed the image to ruin Han Fei’s reputation. A staff, though, did not expose him to that danger. A staff was meant to debilitate, while a knife was meant to kill. In terms of damage, a hit by a staff might cause bone fracture but it would rarely kill.

With Han Fei holding the staff, the two started another chase scene. Their speed was not much slower than before, the difference was the chaser and the chased had swapped. When the stunt double decided to retreat, the ghost that followed behind him disappeared. The thing appeared and disappeared without a trace. It was like Han Fei had imagined everything, it didn’t help that Han Fei appeared to be the only one who could see it.

Statistically speaking, the chance of the stunt double killing Han Fei was very high but no one would have expected a parkour athlete to fail to catch up to Han Fei in a chase and they also did not expect Han Fei to be so alert and prepared. The table turned but different from Han Fei, the stunt double ran upstairs to a dead end!

He raced at full speed but Han Fei stuck to him like a shadow. The pressure was unimaginable like Han Fei would follow him to the end of the world. They ran from the 9th floor to the 2nd floor and now they raced back from the 2nd floor to the 9th floor. The frantic footsteps were like little drum sounds.

Xiao Tong, who stayed in the Student’s room, was getting bored. He needed someone to clean the fake blood from his mouth. He just got up from the ground when he heard the sound coming from outside. ‘Why have they returned?’

Bang! The closed door was rammed into and the stunt double crashed in. His face was white and pain caused him to sweat profusely. Just as he turned to close the door, the door was kicked down!

The door slammed heavily into the wall. The stunt double rolled out of the way and towards Xiao Tong, he planned to capture Xiao Tong as hostage. The staff scratched against the wall. Before Xiao Tong could process the situation, he saw the murderous Han Fei appear at the door. With an icy gaze and a deadly smile, the man looked like he had just crawled out from the very depths of hell.

‘The fuck?!’ Xiao Tong instinctually reached towards the stunt double for protection and the two of them backed away from the threat that was Han Fei.
