When the teenage girl heard what the old lady said, she started crying. “No!”

The white-collared woman also started wiping away her tears again.

They cried for another person, but also for themselves.

“Don’t cry. I’ve lived such a long life. I’m already content. Know that we all came to this crying, so you must live on smiling, however hard life is.” The old lady actually started to comfort the two.

“Well said. You said you were a businesswoman. You must be a very educated businesswoman!” Gao Fei gave the old lady a thumbs-up.

The teenage girl and the white-collar woman also stopped crying when they heard the old woman’s words.

“Thank you all. Although you did not know each other, and only came by each other by accident during the last filming, you all have left a very deep impression on me. It’s a great pleasure to meet you all here to cross paths for my life and your lives. Don’t feel sad about my departure. You must work harder to live. I will pray for you all in the waxwork museum. “The old woman pressed her hands together and bowed to the others.

“Thank you.” The others thanked the old lady.

The old woman approached Li Teng and said, “Boy, you are very good. I have confidence in you. Be sure to stick to it, don’t give up.”

“I’m very unlucky, and I might die at any point.” Li Teng shook his head.

“Don’t think like this. If a person keeps having bad luck in a period, it means good fortune is also coming, believe that God is fair.” The old woman comforted Li Teng.

Li Teng sighed and said nothing more.

The old woman then said a few more words to Gao Fei, “And you, don’t be so impulsive, being too impulsive will kill you!”

“With my IQ, I can’t live long, even without being impulsive.” Gao Fei sighed, too.

The old lady advised the spectacled man too. “And you, don’t argue with others about nonsense all the time. Winning and losing arguments mean nothing, but you may eventually suffer because of arguing.”

“Ah…” The spectacled man kept nodding, expressing deep agreement with this point.

In the end, the old woman addressed all of them. “You all should live in harmony and help each other in the future, don’t fight and attack each other. Only in unity can more people live on.”

Everyone nodded.

“It’s almost time. Let’s get you there.” The masked director spoke.

At the director’s urging, the old woman and the crowd waved goodbye. She boarded a bus to pick her up to the wax museum and quickly disappeared from the street corner.

After the old woman left, the atmosphere at the coffee table became quite solemn.

No one spoke again, the white-collar woman began to wipe away more tears, and the teenage girl stared blankly at the coffee cup in front of her.

Li Teng continued to drink his free coffee.

Half a minute later, the woman in the sunglasses appeared from the street in the distance.

Upon noticing that they were in low spirits and silent, the woman in the sunglasses looked at the stool the old lady had sat on last time. She seemed to understand what was going on but did not say anything.

Li Teng estimated that she had probably participated in at least a dozen performances, and she might be used to what happened to the old lady.

“The crew from last time is here. It seems that there will be two newbies today.” Gao Fei spoke and broke the silence.

The woman in the sunglasses shook her head. “Not newbies, I’m guessing it should be two senior actors coming.”

“I hope they are two kind people,” said the white-collar woman.

The woman in the sunglasses snorted coldly. “Forget it. The more you play, the less likely you are to be kind. Kindness only makes you die faster.”

“That’s what I think too. In the film studio, we are all actors, and only people with higher acting abilities can live long.” The spectacled man agreed with her and then gave Li Teng a look.

Li Teng continued to drink coffee, as though he hadn’t heard the spectacled man.

His stomach was a bit bloated. He had eaten too much.

After two minutes, two more people approached the coffee table. It was an old lady in her 50s and a young man.

This old lady looked very fierce, and her body was strong and muscular, looking completely different from the elegant old lady, who must have already been turned into a wax figure.

The young man, who stood beside the fierce old lady, looked eager to please, seeming like a typical pretty boy.

The two apparently knew each other and spoke along the way.

When the two appeared, the woman in the sunglasses hurried to get up and sit down on the seat that previously belonged to the elegant old lady, leaving them with two stools placed beside each other, presumably not wanting to sit between them.

“Hello! Welcome to our film crew.” The white-collar woman took the initiative to greet the fierce old lady and the pretty boy.

The fierce old woman squinted at the white-collar woman with a disdainful expression.

“Fresh newbies, this is our crew, not yours,” replied the pretty boy with a strange tone.

“Well…” The white-collar woman felt a bit unhappy. She subconsciously looked at the woman in the sunglasses, probably hoping that she could say something on behalf of everyone.

The woman in the sunglasses turned to one side, apparently not wanting to provoke the two.

The white-collar woman then looked at Li Teng for help.

Li Teng bowed his head to drink coffee as always.

“You two are clearly experienced seniors, now that you are here, of course, you are the masters here.” The spectacled man judged the situation and hurried to fawn on the pretty boy.

“Hahaha… This little fella judges the situation very well. You have potential.” The pretty boy reached out and placed his arm around the spectacled man’s back briefly.

“Thank you, senior.” The spectacled man’s face was full of smiles.

“Ah! Pfft! There’s a fly! Disgusting!” Gao Fei spat on the ground.

The teenage girl burst out laughing, and then, realizing that nobody else was laughing, hurriedly stopped herself.

“Everyone is here. We can start now.” The female director walked over.

“Hello, everyone. Today we are shooting a night scene. The film’s name is Film Crew of Death. We are shooting a scene called The Last Bus. Next, I will introduce to you the scene in which you are about to perform.”

Nobody spoke. They looked at the masked director quietly.

“Film Crew of Death’s genre is horror, and it’s a ghost-type movie.

“The scene today has an element of mystery. Every actor’s identity is not publicly known, not ascertained, meaning the roles to be played will be decided by drawing lots.

“The actor’s levels will determine the order of drawing and the number of times for drawing. At the same level, those with more points in their account get priority.

“You are about to act as members of a film crew: Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Special Actor, Photographer, Lighting Crew, Sound Crew, Script Manager, etc.

“This film crew is filming a ghost movie.

“This scene of ours is centered around the film crew’s members going to the street side to take a bus home together after a day of shooting.

“This is the last bus.

“Among the eight of you, one is a ghost.”
