Ghost Says - Extra 2

One day, Qiao Gang was extremely bored and went with Song Yuan to a nearby store to bring back a pile of movie DVDs to pass the time. Song Yuan naturally had no objections and obediently played the role of free labor.

Back home, Qiao Gang sat excitedly on the couch and began to pick out movies.

He didn’t often watch movies before, so this time he decided to watch his fill.

“Huh? Did I pick this one?”

Qiao Gang picked up a disc with a plain black cover in the middle. It had no title, and there wasn’t even a cover photo. He asked Song Yuan curiously, “Did you get this one?”

Song Yuan took it and looked, then shook his head saying no.

Since there wasn’t anything particular he wanted to watch, Qiao Gang, with an indifferent attitude, put it into the player.

At first, the screen was completely black.

Could it be an empty disc?

Feeling strange, the two looked at each other, and Qiao Gang walked forward to take out the disc. Suddenly, the screen in front of them emitted a dazzling light.

After the light faded, on the floor in front of them appeared a… winged, pink pig?

“Welcome, you two, to the 4444th ‘Let’s Watch a Horror Movie’ event held by the Underworld. Congratulations on gaining the opportunity to participate.”

It bent its two front hooves, making a gesture similar to a human bow.

Qiao Gang and Song Yuan had probably never encountered such a polite pig in their lives.

Moreover, this pig possessed a function that other pigs didn’t have — it could talk.

Qiao Gang stared in disbelief at the… pig that could be described as graceful.

Was he dreaming, or had science advanced to the point where pigs could now speak human language?

Song Yuan, on the other hand, stood in front of Qiao Gang without showing any emotion and said to the pig, “Who are you?”

The pink pig respectfully replied, “I am a third-class officer of the Underworld, number 102777.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Because you two obtained the prop for this event and met the conditions for participation, I am here to guide you through the completion of this event.”

Song Yuan smiled slightly, “What if we don’t want to participate?”

The pink pig on the ground looked at him and produced a black book out of thin air.

Qiao Gang didn’t understand how it could turn the pages with those hooves.

The pink pig patted its wings behind it, its little hooves flipping through the book quickly.

“According to Rule 324 of the Underworld Regulations, once an event begins, participants must complete the game before it can end. My appearance marks the beginning of the event, so you can no longer refuse now.”

This was nothing short of a tyrannical clause!

Qiao Gang and Song Yuan looked at each other, finding that neither of their expressions looked very good.

The pink pig shook its hooves and said to the two, “Then I’ll announce the rules for this event. This event is divided into three parts. The game will randomly select three films available here, of course, all horror ones, and you will play a role in each. The game will only end after completing all three films.”

Qiao Gang frowned, “What’s the point of this event?”

The pink pig wiggled its ears, pretending not to have heard.

The purpose of establishing this event was said to be… the King of Hell was bored.

“Well then… let’s begin.”

NO.1 “Ju-on” (The Grudge)

Song Yuan looked at the white dress he was wearing and smiled lightly. Immediately, an eerie wind blew around them.

“Can someone explain what I’m wearing?”

The pink pig flapped its wings and flew into the air, “The first movie you’ve drawn is ‘Ju-on’ (The Grudge). You’ll play Kayako Kawamata, and he’ll play Shunsuke Kobayashi.”

Although neither Qiao Gang nor Song Yuan were frequent moviegoers, they had both heard of the famous film “Ju-on”.

“Ju-on” was a movie that had been destroyed and edited by the Japanese government. Its original form was actually a 98-episode TV series.

Kayako’s husband, Takeo Saeki, suspecting his wife of infidelity, brutally murdered her and then locked their son Toshio in the attic. After Kayako’s death, her grudge lingered, and everyone who subsequently entered the house was cursed to die.

This series of deaths began with the meeting between Kayako Kawamata and Shunsuke Kobayashi.

“The characters you play can’t do anything that would affect the plot development. You’ll know what to do when the time comes. Well then, good luck to you both!”

With that, the pink pig shook its wings and disappeared into the air.

No matter how unwilling Qiao Gang and Song Yuan were, they could only raise the curtain on the movie.

In April 1985, Kayako fell in love at first sight with her university classmate Shunsuke Kobayashi. For the strange and introverted Kayako, it was the first time someone had remembered her name and shown her kindness.

Having fallen for Shunsuke Kobayashi, Kayako began frantically recording everything about him in her diary.

(Qiao Gang: Listen…why does this sound familiar?)

Kayako’s love was obsessive and dark. She bought all the books Shunsuke had touched in the bookstore and collected all the cigarette butts he had smoked and discarded.

(Qiao Gang said to Song Yuan: Are you sure you’re not related to this lady by blood?)

(Song Yuan: …)

Song Yuan fully grasped the character’s personality traits, portraying this gloomy and sinister role to perfection.

In reality, the environment felt so real that the two felt almost no distinction from reality. If it weren’t for their memories of the past twenty-some years, Qiao Gang might have believed for a moment that he really was Shunsuke Kobayashi.

Kayako’s frantic love didn’t change the fact that Shunsuke Kobayashi fell in love with someone else. Discouraged, she accepted Takeo Saeki’s proposal and gave birth to a child named Toshio. At the same time, she never stopped observing Shunsuke Kobayashi.

In 1993, Shunsuke Kobayashi married Manami Midorikawa.

Miss Manami Midorikawa was guest-starred by Jian Xia.

(Song Yuan gritted his teeth: Why are you appearing here?!)

(Jian Xia smiled slightly: Of course, it’s due to the readers’ demand. Only someone as handsome as me is worthy of little Gang Gang. I’ll definitely give him a happy and fulfilling family!)

Then, Takeo Saeki learned at the hospital that his sperm’s fertilization rate was 0.01%. Believing his wife had cheated on him, he went home and brutally murdered her, then locked their only son in the closet before going to kill Shunsuke Kobayashi’s wife.

(Jian Xia’s eyes filled with tears: I was only on screen for ten minutes…)

Shunsuke Kobayashi, that is, Qiao Gang, also arrived at Kayako’s home at this time.

Song Yuan was still waiting in the attic. Qiao Gang, led to the bedroom by little Toshio, found Song Yuan’s diary.

Qiao Gang’s face darkened as he looked at the diary. It really was Song Yuan’s.

Presumably disgusted by the diary, Qiao Gang discovered the corpse and ran downstairs carrying Toshio. Song Yuan resentfully lay where he was. “Am I really that terrifying?”

Qiao Gang ran to the door, which was certainly locked. His only task now was to stand there and wait for Song Yuan to crawl down the stairs.

Now Qiao Gang was very idle, so idle that he began to imagine in what manner Kayako, that is, Song Yuan, would come down the stairs.

He was even more curious about what method the other would use to kill him.

After all, the movie never clearly explained how Kayako killed Shunsuke Kobayashi.

How would Kayako, who loved Shunsuke Kobayashi to the point of madness, kill the person she loved most?

The house was very quiet. Little Toshio beside him was as white as if he had rolled in flour, and his cat-like cries seemed to scratch at one’s heart. Even Qiao Gang couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

Then, with the sound of a heavy object falling, Song Yuan came down…

The sound of something dragging across the floor clearly reached Qiao Gang’s ears.

At this moment, Qiao Gang’s phone rang. It was Takeo Saeki, who had just killed Shunsuke Kobayashi’s wife.

Poor Jian Xia…

Qiao Gang mourned for her.

Song Yuan’s appearance was shocking. He perfectly portrayed Kayako’s world-shaking entrance.

Even Qiao Gang was quite startled for a moment. Song Yuan, crawling down the stairs, gradually climbed onto Qiao Gang.

Qiao Gang, whose legs were genuinely weak rather than just acting, stood motionless, staring blankly at Song Yuan’s approaching face.

A strong smell of blood emanated from the other. Qiao Gang closed his eyes.

He waited for one minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Qiao Gang’s neck was getting sore from craning. He said stiffly, “Um… why aren’t you doing anything yet?”

Song Yuan gently blew a hot breath on his neck. Qiao Gang shuddered, a slight blush creeping up his face. He said somewhat embarrassedly, “Don’t you know what time it is? What are you trying to do?”

“Then tell me… what should I do?”

Song Yuan’s hand had already slipped into Qiao Gang’s pants, sliding downward.

“You should kill me right now and end this movie.”

“Oh?” Song Yuan tilted his head. “But in the movie, we never see Kayako kill Shunsuke Kobayashi.”

“…What?”

“The movie only shows Kayako crawling towards Shunsuke Kobayashi, but there’s no proof that Shunsuke Kobayashi actually died.”

Song Yuan smiled slightly. Qiao Gang suddenly felt this smile was indescribably wicked.

“So… what I’m doing now doesn’t go against the plot development.”

“You—”

Despicable, shameless bastard!

Qiao Gang couldn’t finish the second half of his sentence as it was swallowed by the other’s soft lips.

Poor little Toshio, following his “mother’s” orders, covered his ears with his hands and obediently crouched facing the wall.

And the man’s occasional painful moans that night added another legend to what would later become known as the most terrifying haunted house in Japanese history, avoided by countless people.

NO.2 “Tomie”

When the pink pig finished writing the last stroke with a brush on the book, their second movie was also decided.

They were about to enter the world of “Tomie”.

“Tomie” is a representative work of Japanese manga artist Junji Ito. Tomie is a beautiful woman whose beauty is filled with an evil power that can drive all men who come into contact with her to lose their minds, fall madly in love with her, and want to dismember her.

Each part of her body, when separated from the main body, splits into another Tomie, and they constantly try to kill each other.

This extremely perverted ability, combined with her wicked and twisted personality, creates a monster, a monster with fatal attraction to men.

Song Yuan plays such a monster in it.

(Song Yuan: Why do I always have to play the female role…)

And poor Qiao Gang, who still couldn’t straighten his back, is the male protagonist in one of the stories.

The story begins in a small alley on a night when Qiao Gang, on his way home, encounters Miss Tomie who has just been stabbed by a villain.

Song Yuan lay on the ground, his clothes covered in blood.

Qiao Gang accepted the other’s unreasonable request to bury them in the mountains instead of going to the hospital.

Keeping his promise, Qiao Gang buried Song Yuan under a tree on the mountain.

But strange things happened. Just as Qiao Gang finished filling the soil, he heard the other calling his name.

But… the other person was clearly dead!

He had already confirmed that the other’s heartbeat had indeed stopped.

Startled, Qiao Gang dug up the soil again, only to find that the voice wasn’t coming from the other’s mouth, but… from their abdomen!

At the place where the other had been stabbed, a strange face had grown! And that face looked exactly like Song Yuan’s!

Qiao Gang himself felt a bit dizzy at this point. How disgusting was this movie?

Who else would stay in such a situation instead of running away immediately? Someone tougher might even douse it with gasoline and burn it as if it were a monster! Even the most beautiful face wouldn’t help in this situation! Who would value beauty over their own life?

Qiao Gang inwardly grumbled about the unreasonableness of the plot while following the request to cut that face off Song Yuan’s body with a knife.

This almost made him throw up his dinner.

He wrapped the cut-off face in clothes and carried it home in the dead of night.

Back home, Qiao Gang placed the face on a soft cushion. Song Yuan’s complexion looked extremely unwell.

(Song Yuan: Of course! How can I not be angry when my image is being destroyed like this?)

Qiao Gang thought that he himself must have been the most uncomfortable just now, and couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Song Yuan.

Throwing the blood-stained clothes into the washing machine and rinsing his body under the shower, Qiao Gang thought, what kind of situation is this!

After cleaning himself up, Qiao Gang wiped Song Yuan’s face with a hot towel. The other looked a bit listless, clinging weakly to the pillow. Qiao Gang found it strange to look at the other who was now just a face.

At bedtime, Song Yuan’s request to sleep next to Qiao Gang’s pillow was ruthlessly rejected.

No joke, Qiao Gang didn’t want to be scared to death when he woke up the next morning.

According to Miss Tomie’s personality, even with just a face left, she wouldn’t behave.

Willful, spoiled, and vain, she not only had the original script’s young man running in circles but also looked down on him greatly.

Of course, our Song Yuan wouldn’t be like this. In fact, he was extremely worried that Qiao Gang would dislike him with just a face left, so he behaved exceptionally docile and gentle.

And after Qiao Gang got used to him like this, he actually found it not bad, at least he didn’t have to worry about being harassed inappropriately all day long.

As it turned out, Sister Tomie’s vitality was incredibly strong. For her, who could split and reproduce with just blood, recovering from just a face was a piece of cake.

Eating Qiao Gang’s loving meals regularly, Song Yuan’s “growth” was quite pleasing. Soon he grew into a complete head, and even grew tiny limbs.

For Qiao Gang, who watched him “grow up”, it was like watching his own son grow, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Good times don’t last long. Qiao Gang knew the original was about to come knocking.

According to the plot development, that “Song Yuan” buried in the mountain was about to come and kill the Song Yuan by his side.

And his task was just to wait for the appearing “Song Yuan” to find him, and listen to her words inciting him to kill the Song Yuan at home.

In short, this was a perverted world, and Tomie was a perverted woman.

Qiao Gang, who believed he would complete the task very easily, welcomed the ending one afternoon—

“Mmm… don’t…”

Sweet, sensual moans that could make anyone blush filled the room.

Qiao Gang, with a red face and eyes teary from stimulation, looked at the person in front of him with surprise and anger. “…How did this happen?”

The Song Yuan in front licked his moist eye corner, “Hehe, I didn’t expect… the game could be played like this.”

Qiao Gang held back a moan that was about to escape and said, “You guys… let me go quickly…”

“You guys” of course referred to multiple people. Those who were shamelessly caressing and playing with Qiao Gang’s body were certainly more than one.

When did the cunning, possessive Song Yuan become someone who could share his lover? The answer, of course, is never.

Qiao Gang, on the verge of tears, looked at the two people sucking on his chest, one on each side.

Two identical handsome faces – they were two Song Yuans.

“No… bastards! Let go quickly!”

“Let go? Do you think that’s possible?”

The person behind him chuckled and tightened his grip on Qiao Gang’s hardness, long fingers continuously rubbing the tip.

Qiao Gang tilted his head back, exposing his long neck, struggling to breathe. Immediately, someone saw the opening and pressed their lips against it, licking and nibbling at his throat.

The feeling of having all sensitive spots on his body caressed by hands or lips is something no one could resist. Although he felt it was wrong, Qiao Gang couldn’t resist sinking into the sea of desire. His mind unable to think, he could only follow his body’s primal reactions.

Qiao Gang never imagined that his meeting with “one” Song Yuan would turn into a gathering of “Song Yuans”.

The Song Yuans, equally rational, cunning, and shameless, unanimously agreed that mutual destruction was unwise. Uniting to enjoy Qiao Gang as a feast was the wise choice.

Thus, Qiao Gang became the “Song Yuans'” meal. Without a chance to struggle, he was tied to a bed in the nearest hotel.

How strong was Tomie’s self-reproduction ability? How many “Song Yuans” were nearby? Qiao Gang might not know, but he knew that the “Song Yuans” were keenly aware of each other’s presence. In a short time, many “Song Yuans” gathered in this hotel, and the group kept expanding.

Qiao Gang’s cries changed from initially strong and powerful to soft and hoarse. He doubted if he would ever be able to get out of bed again.

Feeling a scorching heat deep inside his body, a softened organ pulled out from his red, swollen, and hot entrance. Almost without pause, another burning object forcefully inserted itself.

Qiao Gang, his voice nearly gone, glared at the person in front of him with red eyes and cursed, “Bastard…”

“Darling, your voice is enchanting.”

Song Yuan thrust forcefully after speaking, and the manly tears Qiao Gang had been holding back finally spilled out.

He finally understood why the producer initially set Tomie’s character as female.

NO.3 “The Ring”

After serious protest from Qiao Gang, he took on the main role in this horror film.

In “The Ring”, a milestone in Japanese horror film history, the main character is of course Miss Sadako.

Surprisingly, Song Yuan, who had taken advantage in the previous two films, wasn’t cast as Ryuji Takayama, the ex-husband of the female reporter Asakawa with the most screen time, but as a minor character with what’s commonly called a bit part in the film.

Sadako was pushed into the well by Dr. Ikuma Heihachiro, and the vengeful Sadako used videotapes as a medium to continuously kill people.

Dr. Ikuma Heihachiro was played by Lin Xian in a friendly guest appearance.

(Lin Xian smiled at Qiao Gang: Be good, I’ll try to be as gentle as possible.)

(Qiao Gang: …)

Qiao Gang, thinking he had finally turned the tables, was satisfied with his work. Miss Sadako’s appearance was simple; after crawling out of that well, there wasn’t much for him to do.

Apart from the well being too dark and deep to climb easily, the screams he heard after crawling out were too piercing.

So, when he rarely encountered someone who didn’t scream, Qiao Gang, half-emerged from the TV, curiously took a second look.

“Ah—!”

This time, everyone was honored to hear Miss Sadako’s scream.

“Why are you here?!”

Qiao Gang’s pointing finger trembled slightly.

Song Yuan looked innocent; of course, he was here because his role required it.

Qiao Gang wished he could crawl back into the TV, but before he could act, he was grabbed.

Song Yuan gently said to him. “Darling, let me help you.”

After saying that, he eagerly pulled Qiao Gang out, then slipped his hand into Qiao Gang’s loose robe.

“This outfit is so easy to remove. You should just wear this from now on, no need to change.”

“Bastard… let go of me!”

“Be good, it’ll be over soon.”

“Ugh… it hurts like hell…”

“It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt. Come, give me a kiss.”

“You— mmph!”

Qiao Gang might be the most pitiful Miss Sadako in history…

Finally, all three films were successfully completed, which was truly cause for celebration.

Pink Pig held the newly finished DV, very pleased. The King of Hell and Judge would surely be satisfied with this, and its year-end bonus would likely be much more generous.

Standing in the Japanese-style garden with Qiao Gang’s screams as background music, Pink Pig shook its big head.

What a happy ending for everyone…
