Chapter 163: Chapter 163 - First Love
Emily woke up in an unfamiliar basement on the day after the proposal . Her limbs were chained on the operating bed .
All around her were sheets of human skins . Some glass bottles even had heads submerged in medicinal liquid .
The handsome Otto was wearing a white lab coat . The medicine rack beside him had syringes and tools for operation sleeping in them .
Otto was a painter that collected the skins of beauties . He was also an insane serial killer . He would speak of his first love to his every target to lure them into his trap of deep love .
Emily was forty-nine in his collection . In other words, he had murdered forty-eight young ladies before Emily .
Sealing their beautiful skins in this secret laboratory eternally, he would look for inspiration from these women .
As he mocked women’s stupidity, he injected the anesthetic that partially numbed Emily . He loved to skin his prey when they were conscious .
However, he could not have his prey struggle . It would affect the strength that he had to use, ruining his aestheticism of skinning them .
Emily gazed at him in both despair and love throughout the whole operation . She wanted to know if he had loved her .
Otto told her that he did love her . He loved every woman he kept in here .
Emily asked him if he kept his first love here too . If she was his first victim .
Otto laughed maniacally . First love? He had no first love .
The Oriental girl that was rejected by his family was just fiction to lure in these pathetic women .
Everyone only had beautiful delusions when the words, “first love,” are mentioned . Of all things, he wanted to wake these people up .
The more exquisite the fantasy, the worse the squalor and grotesquery hiding behind it .
Emily wailed as she decreed her love for him . She would do it willingly if he wanted to keep her here forever .
She only asked for him to grant her a final kiss .
Emily was different from the other women . The women who used to be here would curse him with an insane passion .
Fear was the only thing in their eyes . There was no love when they looked at him . However, Emily loved him deeply from start to end .
Otto faltered, but only to fulfill her dying wish . He gave her a farewell kiss .
When it was finally time to skin Emily, Otto’s basement was broken into . The snipers disabled his limbs .
Emily was rescued . Her face changed . The gentleness was no longer there .
Emily was actually no ordinary woman either . She was a police officer who was collecting evidence of Otto’s crime .
Perhaps Otto had an obsession toward the Oriental beauty in his fantasy . Perhaps he enjoyed his prey falling for the same old story every time .
He drew the same person every time . Unbeknownst to Otto, a woman fell deeply in love with him, until she immersed herself in painting furtively .
Until she too was obsessed with the Oriental girl who was the first love of Otto in his story . She wanted to know the reason for her great luck .
The luck of gaining all of Otto’s love . That was why she drew the portrait of this Oriental girl in crazed obsession .
She would even fantasize herself as this Oriental girl on occasion . Her family even sought out a therapist for her over this .
The police caught on to this after her disappearance . They had also acquired the portrait of first love: the Oriental girl .
The police were already suspecting something when a large number of women who had contact with Otto disappeared .
However, Otto had a careful mind, super acting, and even surveillance on the police .
In order to arrest Otto, a long-retired detective went out of his way to choose the newest face in the police academy .
The mission executor who was chosen this time was Emily .
When Otto showed the portrait of first love before Emily, they had fully confirmed Otto as the murderer .
All the romance that ensued was just both of them acting to deceive each other .
He required the skin of a beauty, she needed the evidence of his crime . It was a top-tier battle a la Inception .
Yun Xiangxiang would play as the unverifiable first love within Otto’s fantasy that made his countless prey fall for him .
This film truly piqued Yun Xiangxiang’s passion for acting .
Both the thrills that were brought by the numerous twists, as well as the impact of the detailed acting by both protagonists would shake the audience .
On top of that, this film exposes the societal truth of how easily women can fall for romance scams, as well as the contradictions within humanity .
It also subtly pointed out the status of an Oriental woman within the eyes of the developed nation during that time .
Why did Otto make up an Oriental woman?
Her being unverifiable due to distance was a part of it . There was also a hidden meaning that mocks how severe the nation’s difference in class back then .
This was a film that was packed with various elements .
Yun Xiangxiang immediately called Milles, “Milles, I am very honored to have you invite me to take part in this film . It is simply brilliant . ”
“I welcome you to the team,” the sound of wine glasses knocking at each other could be heard from Milles’ end .
“Can I know when you will start filming?” Yun Xiangxiang was very interested in this film . She did not want to miss it .
Even though she would play a supporting role, it was the main supporting role . She would appear in the main storyline from start to finish . She might not have many scenes, but each scene was crucial .
This was a great character . She would not even be able to play it if it was not because she had some connection with Milles, and Milles felt that he owed her one .
“I am shooting another film right now . I plan to start shooting “First Love” in July,” Milles replied .
Yun Xiangxiang quieted down for a while when she heard the time . “Milles, I hope that you are not troubling yourself because of me . ”
July would be when the summer vacation was . She estimated that she would have two months or so of summer vacation . It would be more than enough if everything went well .
Even though Milles was a rising star in the circle of directors, he was not at the stage where he could make any decision .
“Yun, I knew that you are well suited to play Amy when I saw you again during the last film festival . ”
Milles sounded relaxed, “However, my first proposal for you to play as Amy was rejected by the company . ”
“And now they agreed to it?” Yun Xiangxiang was curious about what made them change their minds .
“Yes . In last week’s fashion show, MonRoe’s designer, Percy, came to Paris . He mentioned you,” Milles was slightly surprised too .
It was not because of personal reasons that he insisted on Yun Xiangxiang playing as Amy . In China, only Yun Xiangxiang’s mesmerizing brown eyes fitted their aesthetics .
Besides, Yun Xiangxiang’s acting skills were recognized . He had some discussion with Yun Xiangxiang before . He thought that Yun Xiangxiang was an actress with great potential .
When Percy mentioned Yun Xiangxiang, he naturally recommended her strongly again . Percy also mentioned about the weekly of “EF” where Yun Xiangxiang was on it .
The company finally relented . He immediately informed Yun Xiangxiang about this . Of course, he went out of his way to look out for Yun Xiangxiang when he set the shooting time .
It was God’s destiny to let him meet Yun Xiangxiang . He thought that he and Yun Xiangxiang were people who needed a chance to shine .
“Thank you, Milles . I will not let you down,” Yun Xiangxiang thanked him earnestly .
