I'm using them all!

Xie Yan was filming the last scene of a movie. The location was deep in the hinterlands of the prairie, which was the final scene of the film. The director purposely made it the last shoot to take advantage of the pent up emotions before the holiday.

Xie Yan looked at the expressions of the people around him. He was tired after four months of shooting. Now everyone seemed to be like active volcanoes, their magma ready to erupt.

He played as a hero named Xiao Xiong. His brothers, who fought together with him, were originally undercover policemen, but they had fled on the eve of their capture. The enemy wanted to kill him, and his policemen brothers wanted to arrest him. He could only escape.

According to the socialist core values, such people must die. Otherwise, the film would not be approved. Finally, it was the last scene.

Xie Yan couldn't wait. 'I want to have a holiday, I want to travel, I want to rest for eight months!'

This want was reflected in his eyes like the burning ashes on Mars, with a deadly poppy-like attraction coated in indifference.

Xiao Xiong was shot, and he was bleeding while driving across the country. He was driving like a maniac on the mountain road. In the twilight, the sky was vast, a storm was approaching, and the symphony of fate had already begun to play. He was rushing out quickly on the path to death.

At the foot of the mountain.

Everyone faced Xie Yan, who was standing by the door, trying to make an 'ok' gesture to the director when he saw that thing. It was a light spot that appeared in the sky. So white, it was ethereal, a very high and bright light. At first, Xie Yan thought it was his eyes playing tricks on him. However, the point of light became bigger and bigger, forming a light ball, jumping towards his side at high speed, and its route was weird and erratic.

Spherical lightning. These words came to Xie Yan's mind.

"Run!" Xie Yan felt that his soul was no longer in his body, and he could even make out some detached sounds from the ball of lightning, echoes of hisses and crackles. His face may have been too ugly, causing everyone to look along his line of sight. When they saw the ball lightning, the group of people lifted their feet and ran to the grassland in all directions.

The director didn't know what was going on and even started running with the camera still rolling on his shoulder.

A field affairs official was a bit flustered and loudly asked, "It won't matter if we use a lightning rod?"

The group of people scattered like birds and beasts and tried to dodge in a panic. Xie Yan looked back at the ball of lightning and didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that the lightning seemed to be homing in on a specific target, and that target was him.

When Xie Yan looked at it, its surface even pulsated with blue arcing lights, like it was a living being and a vivacious one.

Xie Yan was a science major, and he also saw all kinds of strange things when he was filming. He couldn't help but have an idea in mind: that thing appeared when he 'saw' it.

It made him feel creeped out.

Xie Yan knew how much energy this arc could gather. If he was hit by this ball of lightning, he could perform in a fantasy drama directly, and it was more environmentally friendly than cremation.

To test his theory, he ran in an S-shape. He was followed by the ball of lightning as it also went in an S-shape.

It following him was definitely not an illusion.
