Chapter 834 The Terrifying Props Have Been Increased (Part 2)
At the same time, Qin Jue listened to Lin Rou's whispered thoughts and waited patiently for her to adapt and calm down.
"Huh... Why am I so verbose all of a sudden? I keep blabbering."
Lin Rou puffed up her cheeks and exhaled slowly. She pressed her chest with her free hand, "I feel better now. I was still a little scared when I looked down just now."
"It's easy to feel insecure without fences and handrails." Qin Jue said warmly.
"Indeed." Lin Rou smiled helplessly.
She forced down her slight discomfort and looked down at the worried assistant, smiled again and waved her hand to show that she was fine.
"Are you ready?" Qin Jue asked.
"Prepare...what?" Lin Rou blinked.
"This is the ice ladder after special effects." Qin Jue explained, "Normally rehearsals are not like this."
"..." An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Lin Rou's heart.
She hesitated for two seconds, then gathered her nerves and nodded cautiously:
"Okay, I'm ready."
Qin Jue raised the hand that was holding Lin Rou's right hand, and the meaning was self-explanatory.
"...No, I'd better close my eyes."
Lin Rou pursed her lips into a straight line, "The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain."
"Will the process aggravate the fear? That's okay. I'll call you after the special effects are put away." Qin Jue responded.
She waited for Lin Rou to close her eyes and relax a little, and then she made a gesture to Qiu He.
One second, two seconds.
There was a scream from below, it was Lin Rou's assistant.
If Qiao Yuansu hadn't stopped her in time and tried to comfort her, she would have rushed to the bottom of the ice ladder.
This shout made Lin Rou, who had her eyes closed, laugh softly. She took a breath and said loudly:
"Linlin, don't be nervous, I'm fine now—"
"are you sure!!!"
The assistant felt like his scalp was going to explode.
She watched the ice ladder disappear from the highest platform at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible hand was holding a hot water bottle and poured it down from high to low, melting all the "ice".
Lin Rou and Qin Jue were just standing in the air.
No wires, no cushions, no safety measures, just the two of them.
Qin Jue calmly looked back and watched all the special effects covering the ladder disappear, with a gentle voice:
"Lin Rou, let me hold you with another hand. You don't need to open your eyes yet."
"Eh? Okay."
Lin Rou responded in a daze.
Qin Jue let go of the hand that was originally holding Lin Rou's palm, took another small step, stood beside Lin Rou, put his right hand on her hand, and left his left hand to protect her behind.
"You can open your eyes now," she said.
Lin Rou followed her words, gritted her teeth and suddenly opened her eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, because the scene in front of her didn't change much.
Then Lin Rou realized that she was facing straight ahead and her eyes were still straight, so she tried to look down.
She saw the assistant first. Although she didn't see it very clearly, she could still feel the panic and worry on the assistant's face.
"Huh? What's wrong..."
Lin Rou was a little confused, but before she finished her murmur, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind went blank, and her legs under the two-layer skirt suddenly became light and fluttery, completely losing their strength.
Before she successfully opened her mouth to speak, Lin Rou tightly held Qin Jue's hand, like a drowning person who doesn't let go of anything when her desire to survive explodes.
But she didn't fall down. I don't know whether it was because she lost her mind and couldn't move, or because she barely had any willpower to hold on.
Qin Jue waited patiently for a while.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
Lin Rou's throat was stiff and she tried her best to calm down her rapid breathing. After a while, she swallowed and replied: "It's... okay."
"Awesome." Qin Jue smiled lightly, "You are curling up unconsciously. Let me help your back so you don't get scared."
"Oh, alright."
Qin Jue's warning was very considerate. Lin Rou calmed down unconsciously and slowly straightened her back.
"This, this is really..."
Her rationality also returned, and she even had the courage to look at the soles of her feet again.
"If you feel okay, you can turn around and look behind you." Qin Jue said.
Lin Rou nodded, turned away, and immediately took a breath.
"OMG……"
The "dong-dong" heartbeat sounded in her ears again, and her legs almost became weak again.
All the special effects disappeared, and the crystal clear ice ladder just now seemed like it had never existed. The only difference was that he and Qin Jue were three meters high in the sky - there was nothing around or under their feet!
"Eye can deceive."
Qin Jue's expression was as usual, like a novice tutor in the game, "Your eyes and brain may be telling you 'you are trapped'. In fact, we are just standing on transparent materials, and they all actually exist. "
"Hmm..." Lin Rou didn't know how much she heard.
"Look carefully. Do you remember the dark rectangle from before? You can see it." Qin Jue said again.
Lin Rou blinked her eyes frequently and let out an "Ah" in surprise for a moment.
"Yes, that's right, it's definitely there." She wanted to turn around, but quickly froze, not daring to move.
"Focus on those rectangles and don't worry about your feet. Slow down."
Qin Jue supported her and turned around little by little.
"Does this happen in every section...?"
Feeling that her feet were indeed stepping on something solid, Lin Rou relaxed a little.
"Yes. This is what we use to remind you."
Qin Jue explained, "The middle of each step is made of a dark color that can be clearly distinguished by the naked eye. The length is 30 centimeters, which is enough for both feet to step on. It's just because we have just seen the ice ladder, so the comparison is shocking. a bit big."
"……really."
Lin Rou's eyes moved to not far from her toes, which was the twentieth and last step.
"Well, now let's walk slowly to the nearest small dark steps."
Qin Jue's hand held by Lin Rou was always giving steady strength.
Lin Ju said "Okay", suddenly exhaled hard, and closed her eyes again.
This time she took a normal step forward and just stepped on the steps.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just pretend that you can't see it now and slowly explore the way..."
Lin Rou muttered to herself, tapping the ground with her toes, leaning forward little by little, then stepping on the next step, and then the next.
"Good idea." Qin Jue, who acted as a guide stick, smiled.
"Suddenly it didn't feel so scary."
Lin Rou, who had her eyes closed, also smiled, "You can step on every step."
"Yes, the ladder is already there." Qin Jue said, "But we just want to deceive the audience."
"Uh-huh."
Lin Rou responded and slowly opened her eyes and looked down while walking down the steps.
With the visual aid, her stepping position was relatively accurate, and she could basically step in the middle. There were a few times when she stepped off the mark, and she saw her footing next to the dark block, but the touch under her feet immediately gave feedback, and she had " After realizing that we are really on the right track, my heart that was raised suddenly slowly dropped again.
"Wow...it's so courageous."
When she was less than one meter above the ground, Lin Rou could even hold on to the invisible handrail and chat with Qin Jue easily while walking.
"You are brave enough." Qin Jue said with a smile, "What a brave girl. She deserves to be the actor who plays Elsa."
Lin Rou smiled.
The two walked down the last step. Lin Rou looked back and saw dark rectangular blocks "floating" in the air one after another, with very even heights and distances between them.
"It looks amazing like this."
As soon as Lin Rou finished speaking, the assistant rushed over and nervously pulled her up and down to look her up and down.
"It's okay, it's okay~" Lin Rou hugged her and patted her.
"It's so scary -" Tears welled up in the assistant's eyes and her voice trembled.
"It's really okay. I'm still fine." Lin Rou pulled her skirt and twirled gracefully in front of her assistant.
"What if!" the assistant said in panic, "What if there is an accident during the performance? Your props have no safety measures at all-"
"Linlin."
Lin Rou made a serious face and said, "I have the final say regarding acting."
The assistant was speechless: "But, but..."
Lin Rou didn't reply and looked at Qin Jue.
"That's to the point."
Qin Jue looked calm, "This is the issue we are still considering. It is related to the form of performance."
"Our alternative safety plan is to add a wire. If you step on the air, the wire will exert force to stabilize you and then slowly fall to the ground." She said to Lin Rou.
"...But there are already five threads for cross-dressing." Lin Judao.
"Yes. That's why I just invited you to walk up the ice ladder without Wire."
Qin Jue said in a relaxed tone, "The ladder is of appropriate length, has handrails, and sufficient load-bearing columns. The surface has also been treated to enhance friction, which minimizes the risk of slipping."
"It's not difficult to walk up. You just need to be careful not to rush off the small platform at the end."
She looked directly into Lin Rou's eyes and spoke calmly.
"What do you think?"
