Hello Mr. King

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.
