The Truth Daily studio is clean, spacious and brightly lit.
Zhan Chengrong stood up and stared at a corner of the studio. From just now, he saw a bloody shadow appearing there.
Then, the shadow appeared like a fleshy and mucosal surface, and rapidly expanded.
There is black sewage flowing in every blood vessel, and it looks like it will explode at any time.
"Hey, didn't you see?" Zhan Chengrong exclaimed, turning his head repeatedly to scan the surrounding subordinates.
Whether they are producers, editors or assistants, these people seem to be set in stone.
Their eyes and expressions were obviously changing, but they didn't speak or move, they just stood there and looked at him.
It was as if they had become a group of silent spectators watching a play.
audience?
This thought flashed across his mind, and Zhan Chengrong's heart jumped suddenly. Could it be that... he is a showman?
Impossible! Even if the showman is exhausted, he is only an E-class person. He can't even get into the "Truth Daily" headquarters office building on Sanfan Avenue.
At the same time, the shadow of flesh and blood had expanded into a huge beast.
His body was covered with rotting mold and filth, his head had sharp and bloody fangs, and his empty eyes were filled with darkness.
Zhan Chengrong recognized what it was from its shape, an elephant. It was a strange flesh-and-blood elephant.
The security guards outside did not move, and the surrounding employees did not respond. Zhan Chengrong knew that the situation was not good, and immediately faced the camera and said to the audience:
"Uh-huh, we have a situation here..."
Suddenly, before Zhan Chengrong could finish speaking, the giant elephant suddenly rushed over, hitting the ground with its legs so hard that the lights above the studio shook.
The bald man yelled angrily and ran away from the host's studio. The actor's information file fell to the floor.
The director, photographer, female assistant... everyone was silent.
They just watched helplessly as the elephant in the room rushed towards Zhan Chengrong, waving its huge feet covered in blood, spreading its fangs, and emitting a stench.
"Ah!" Zhan Chengrong suddenly fell to the ground and crawled back in a hurry, like a worm.
He kept dodging, and the elephant's huge feet fell down one after another, as big as a mountain, with blood and flesh flowing everywhere.
Zhan Chengrong screamed, whether it was the security or the audience, did anyone hear it:
"There's an elephant here!
"Come on, people... I'm being attacked. Someone with a different body is attacking me! It's the lunatic of the showman!"
What happens in this studio is being broadcast in front of countless viewers through live broadcasts.
People walking along the sidewalks on both sides of the avenue stopped and looked at the large screens on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings everywhere.
Fu Rong Plaza in Dongzhou District was crowded with people, including Dongzhou locals and tourists from across the border, all looking up at the live broadcast accident.
At this time, the audience was finally surprised to see an ugly giant elephant chasing Zhan Chengrong and trampling on him.
Zhan Chengrong, who has been venomous towards newcomers for many years, seems to be suffering the consequences!
Zhan Chengrong was crawling and rolling all over the floor. He had been scolding him vigorously just now, but now he was very frightened.
"Oh oh!"
"oh!"
In Fulong Square, every time the elephant was about to trample Zhan Chengrong, people would exclaim.
What a showman!?
Is this really a drama staged by a good actor?
A newly minted alien resonance guy stabbed "Truth Daily" in its lair?
Many reporter teams came after hearing the news and reported the breaking news that this industry suffered.
Jiang Meier also led the team from Spread First Entertainment to the edge of the square and stared at the screen of the building.
"Is that a good showman?" she asked herself, unsure.
Is the "indefinable" newcomer really that bold, or is he really a lunatic?
On the same day, he first offended everyone in the police department, and then became the public enemy of the media...
Originally, the media would speak for him and help him criticize Zhan Chengrong for his unbridled speech.
But if he ran up and attacked a well-known host like this, any news practitioner or reporter would not be able to stand up to the drama.
All around, many passers-by were talking about:
"Could it be that his alien abilities are different from those of animals, like a circus performance?"
"Yes, crow, elephant, is he acting with animals?"
"Could this elephant be a showman?"
Long hair, short hair and afro, although these passers-by are curious, they are not excited.
As Zhan Chengrong said before, scaring people with a giant monster that roughly tramples on them is not a "good show".
It's surprising that the showman came to the studio, but the performance itself was only average.
Just as people were having mixed thoughts, suddenly, a figure of a young man in black was seen walking out of the passage on one side of the studio.
He has messy and medium-short black hair and a scary rotten face facing the camera with a strange smile.
That boy is obviously...
"Good show man!!"
People cheered loudly in Fulong Square, and many people were jumping excitedly.
It turns out that the showman was killed. It turns out that the showman is not that strange elephant!
Jiang Meier and other reporters frowned and continued to report on this breaking news truthfully:
"The showman shows his face!"
"After James Chien challenged him, the actor appeared in the studio!"
Among the crowd in the square, Huang Ziqiang's heartbeat also accelerated. A Yue was making people become fanatical again.
It was the first time for the students next to me to be in this sea of people excited about Lei Yue. They felt even more unbelievable. What had happened...
They saw that it was really Lei Yue, who looked different from the previous Lei Yue...
"A showman, a showman, a showman!"
In the square, people shouted the boy's name in unison.
Everyone in the audience opened their eyes wide to see what the young man in black was going to do.
Seriously, has this mentally ill student really studied acting?
In the live broadcast of the Truth Daily Channel, the young man in black seemed to have heard the cry for help and came over from patrol. He turned his head and looked around, with a look of confusion on his handsome face.
It seemed that he didn't see the elephant in the room, or that it was chasing and trampling a living person.
He looked at it for a few times, then turned his back to the elephant and Zhan Chengrong, faced the camera, and showed a smile that declared "nothing happened."
Then, the comedian swayed his body lightly and swayed in front of the camera, as if he was dancing.
It also seems to be blocking the scene of elephants committing murder.
At this time, the elephant behind stretched out its legs and finally stepped on Zhan Chengrong's right foot, making a loud cracking sound!
"Ah...!" Zhan Chengrong screamed, watching his right foot split apart from the calf down, pain and horror emerged, making him almost faint.
"You, it's really you, this madman..."
The bald man rolled uncontrollably and screamed.
The actor didn't even look at what was going on behind him. He just made a surprised expression and quickly took out something from his waist.
The left hand with the HATE tattoo pulled out a black ordinary pistol.
The right hand with the LOVE tattoo took out a lot of badges and rummaged through them.
There are those from Saito Company, those from Yutani Company, and those from the stipend department...
Finally, the audience saw the showman holding up a Special Investigation Bureau agent badge.
He gestured to the camera with his badge and smiled, as if he was performing a mime, saying: I'm not a madman, I'm a cop!
At the same time, the elephant continued to chase Zhan Chengrong and trample him again and again.
In Fulong Square, some spectators couldn't help but laugh in surprise, beginning to understand the scene.
"What are you laughing at?" People who didn't understand asked to the side. After hearing the explanation and looking at the badges that the showman turned out, he understood.
Someone shouted for an explanation, and the number of people who understood it immediately spread.
"Ha ha!"
"Fuck the elephant!"
People were laughing, cheering, and whistling, and they were showing their middle fingers to the patrolling officers.
Journalists who think more sharply than ordinary people can naturally see what the showman is doing.
Jiang Meier's expression changed slightly. It was no longer the disappointed one before, but she smiled with her heart churning.
He is truly an indefinable newcomer...
Zhan Chengrong is in trouble this time.
The argument that failure is deserved and the performance is terrible is self-defeating as long as you look at this mime.
Good actors know how to use body language and can smoothly control every tiny muscle on their face.
This may be due to the addition of alien abilities, but there is no doubt that the good actors have an extremely deep understanding of theatrical performances and a lot of experience.
Smile, surprise, doubt... the young man made various expressions, all showing the beauty of performance.
Yes, it is beautiful. Jiang Meier thought to herself.
Even if the face is half good and half bad, even if this beauty is mixed with weirdness and shock.
But that is the unique and charming thing about good actors.
And the scene in front of me is not just about elephants attacking people...
The "elephant in the room", the real problems of this world that everyone can see, the cold truth: the gap between rich and poor, inequality, oligarchs, superpowers doing evil...
But people and the media dare not say much about this. They only dare to talk about side issues and turn a blind eye no matter what the elephant does. Some people are even shielding the elephant.
For example, Zhan Chengrong doesn't dare to curse, because the elephant has huge power. If you dare to provoke the elephant, the elephant's legs will be destroyed at any time...
Jiang Meier thought about many headlines for the report.
Bang Bang!!
Suddenly, the elephant in the studio rushed toward the camera. The camera shook violently, and many cracks were caused by the elephant's legs.
This foot seemed to step on every audience member.
No matter who the elephant is attacking, the elephant's legs will step on it at any time, trampling the person to pieces.
All of a sudden, more spectators were stunned, and after listening to the explanation, they also shouted knowingly. The more those who had been stepped on by elephants, the louder they shouted.
They were both excited and inexplicably trembling. It was a kind of horror as if they were facing an elephant.
"This..." Huang Ziqiang's eyes widened in silence, and he looked at each other with a group of about ten classmates.
These young men and women don't quite understand what the people around them are talking about?
Lei Yue really went crazy and used his superpower to commit murder... Isn't this terrible and shouldn't be stopped...
Spreading Avenue, in the studio of Truth Daily.
Bang bang bang, the giant flesh-and-blood elephant was still raising its legs, and Zhan Chengrong was still dragging his residual leg and rolling around, screaming:
"Help, the showman is attacking me!
"I am an ordinary person, he is a alien, he is violating the law, the law..."
However, suddenly, Zhan Chengrong found that he could only whine.
His eyes widened, and he was horrified to see that his tongue and mouth were being sewn together with the blood and flesh spattered from the elephant.
Ears, nose, and eyes must also be blocked.
He was losing all senses, becoming mute, deafened, and blind, and darkness was overwhelming him.
The audience held their breath because of this shocking scene. Zhan Chengrong's head was covered in a layer of contaminated flesh and blood.
Over there, the actor was still pretending to look around, and finally ended his mime and said doubtfully:
"Did you see anything happen? Why didn't I see it?
"It's okay, everything is fine, it's okay.
"Ah...I see it!"
The showman suddenly seemed to see something, and walked quickly to a place near the studio table, "There are rats acting evil here, several rats!"
He reached out and fished it out on the ground, and there were several cute Mickey Mouses in his hand like magic.
Countless viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but laugh, this guy was really having fun!
The showman shook a few mice and threw them aside.
While he was walking, an ordinary automatic pistol fell from his body and fell to the floor with a bang, right next to Zhan Chengrong.
"Ah!" Zhan Chengrong saw the pistol and hurriedly crawled over, picked it up, turned on the safety, and loaded the gun.
He raised his pistol with both hands and pointed it at the condescending flesh-and-blood elephant...
Zhan Chengrong's hands were trembling and his heart was trembling.
At this moment, some scenes from the past flashed in front of Zhan Chengrong's eyes.
At that time, he was still young and "Truth Daily" was still a truly independent media.
Even if there are many attacks on the company, even if people turn a deaf ear to it, their newspapers are always catching and reporting on these elephants.
The person who shouts to people that there is an elephant in the room! It’s him Zhan Chengrong.
However, at that time, he was standing and calling everyone's attention, instead of crawling on the ground begging for help and mercy like he is now.
Regardless of Saito or Straylight, the elephant is there! Trampling everyone.
Later, I don’t know when it started...
To keep the newspaper from going bankrupt? To make life better for the family? Or because everyone actually doesn’t care and can’t tell the truth?
Suddenly one morning when he woke up, Zhan Chengrong could no longer see any elephant. He became part of the elephant.
And the Zhan Chengrong before that day became a corpse thrown into the trash can.
Now, after many years, Zhan Chengrong once again holds a pistol and points it at the elephant.
It was as if the corpse that had been dead for many years was pointing at the current self: a hollow, abominable, huge yet tiny frame of flesh and blood.
All of a sudden, my hair stood on end.
"Ah..." Zhan Chengrong felt as if his heart was bursting, seeing a good show.
For the first time in many years, it was clear that the incident was the death of a young man named "Zhan Chengrong".
At this time, seeing the elephant trampling on him again, Zhan Chengrong pulled the trigger of the pistol repeatedly, "Ah!!!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Gunfire sprayed out, gunshots rang out continuously, and the bullets hit the elephant, hitting the old and smelly flesh and blood.
Large areas of blood and flesh spattered, splattering the entire studio with spots of blood.
However, the elephant did not fall down. It became more manic, raising its fangs and stamping its giant legs.
At this time, the audience were all shocked, but they saw the actor approaching the camera, whispering and laughing:
"The lunatic who plays with a gun has no education!"
Before the good actor finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, and his whole person seemed to change like the elephant.
His face was ferocious and twisted, and his tone became full of righteous anger:
"Hate only breeds more hate.
“When the elephant wants to trample you to death, why not let the elephant trample you to death?
"The world is actually very good. Have you ever looked outside? Go to the streets and see that everyone is laughing and laughing!
"It's all rubbish like you who refuses to be trampled to death by an elephant that ruins it!"
Almost instantly, the showman rushed forward, brandished a black ordinary pistol in his left hand with a HATE tattoo, and pressed it heavily against Zhan Chengrong's forehead.
"There is nothing wrong with this world, but you are the one with the problem!"
His left index finger was about to squeeze towards the trigger, "Zhan Chengrong, you really deserve to die."
Bang bang bang bang, Zhan Chengrong's heart was trembling, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't breathe at this moment.
Instinctively, I still want to cry out for help, but the flesh and blood tumor growing on my head is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that it even takes over my brain, completely covering it with flesh and blood.
The mouth and nose have been completely blocked, leaving only a small gap in the eye socket where you can see the bad face of the showman.
On the other side, although the staff in various positions in the studio could not move, they could see the real-time changes in the ratings from a screen on the wall outside the live broadcast lens.
Ever since the showman suddenly appeared, the ratings have skyrocketed like crazy, almost in a straight line.
They saw that their boss was about to be shot in the head, but they couldn't help but feel happy:
Boss, you set the rules, ratings are everything!
As long as there are ratings, no matter what happens in the studio, the picture signal cannot be cut off!
At the same time, all the viewers in front of various screens stared at it.
His heart was beating loudly, like gunshots.
Jiang Meier was so shocked that she lost her direction of reporting. This good show was far more complicated and shocking than she thought at the beginning...
She could feel that the air in Fulong Square was heating up, and all it took was the ignition of gunfire to cause a huge explosion.
