So good, I’ve been wanting to try it... I’ll go make some tea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banai hummed a tune and went to make tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should I put it, it felt like there was a pet being kept in the club room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Banai made tea, and the three of them started enjoying the snacks at the table. At this moment, Chitanda looked a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Duanmu Huai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duanmu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... this is a bit hard to say, but there’s something I’d like you to help with...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... I don’t really know the details, but someone I know came to me, hoping to get your advice and guidance...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t really mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, is it okay during club time after school this afternoon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know what it was about, Duanmu Huai didn’t mind, and Chitanda let out a big sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, school was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Duanmu Huai and Banai arrived at the club room again, Chitanda was already there, along with another girl. Her expression was quite serious, giving off a class leader vibe. Seeing Duanmu Huai arrive, she hurriedly stood up and bowed to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to trouble you all, I’m Ru Xu Fuyumi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what does Ru Xu want with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanmu Huai glanced at her, then sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... this is a bit hard to say, maybe it’s just my imagination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Ru Xu took out a DVD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please watch this first... do we need to go to the audiovisual room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I have a computer here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The club had a laptop, which was usually used by Duanmu Huai. He took the disc, put it into the drive, and started it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, images appeared on the computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image quality was mediocre, seemingly shot by someone holding a camera, with a classroom as a background, where several students were seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, let’s discuss the theme for the cultural festival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people talked around a table, mainly discussing the upcoming cultural festival, and their class planned to shoot a movie. Their chosen theme involved a nearby abandoned village. The screen then switched off and on again, this time showing them walking down a country path. They then reached a dilapidated villa chosen as the filming site. They split up to search, one person didn’t return, so the rest went to look for him and found his corpse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, simply put, it’s a horror film in a documentary style, which suits small groups lacking funds. However, Duanmu Huai and Banai found it uninteresting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: the students had no acting skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They recited lines without emotion, often looking into the camera, with no sense of immersion at all. The video abruptly ended upon them finding the first corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Chitanda watched the computer with great enthusiasm, seemingly savoring the story just played.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly? It’s dreadful, but for students, this is about the level expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanmu Huai spread his hands, giving his assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Filming in a documentary style is a common strategy for small groups lacking budget. Besides that, it just feels like a copy of typical horror film tropes... To be frank, even if this were shown at the cultural festival, I doubt anyone would watch it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re absolutely right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ru Xu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our class did consider making a movie for the cultural festival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, it’s hard to imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a performing arts school, a place full of artisans, a group of general students decided to make a movie. It’s like athletes demonstrating how to treat a disease in front of medical students, a complete mishap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though we’re a general class, we’re still part of a performing arts school, and everyone hopes to connect with showbiz in their own way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, fair enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, to be extreme, films can be made as long as there’s a script and actors. Nowadays, with smartphones so advanced, cameras aren’t even necessary. Anyone can make and publish short films online, a threshold much lower than becoming a doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, we also found it hard to believe, so we still haven’t decided.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanmu Huai looked puzzled at Ru Xu and then at the computer screen beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You already have a sample shot, and you’re telling me ghost stories? But then Ru Xu spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We didn’t shoot this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Sorry, I don’t quite understand your meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m saying, we didn’t film this DVD. At least, in the collective memory of our class, we didn’t shoot a movie, and we don’t know the students appearing in the video either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was just an illusion, but it felt like the room’s temperature had dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it have been shot before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ru Xu shook her head, then played the video and pointed to the meeting scene at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are our class’s students’ backpacks you see here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So someone filmed this video in your classroom while you weren’t there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We also checked with the teachers and asked around, but no one knows who the students in the video are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you coming to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanmu Huai looked puzzled at her. This was a Classical Studies Club, not a detective club, and he wasn’t a detective; they had come to the wrong person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’ve made many films of this genre, I thought you might have some insight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you’re hoping I can help investigate this matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, if you provide a conclusion, everyone will believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you often play very smart and intimidating roles in films.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... So that’s how you see me... In your minds, I’m like that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, everyone is quite uneasy, as this eerie thing happened before the cultural festival. Could it be a bad omen...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, she looked at Chitanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I’m friends with Chitanda, and I heard you joined the Classical Studies Club, I wanted to seek your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a DVD? Isn’t this a fuss over nothing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s more complicated than that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ru Xu spoke as she pulled out a notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the screenplay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A screenplay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, actually we already held meetings, deciding on the movie’s theme, and asked a classmate with creative experience to write the script.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanmu Huai flipped through the script, scanning a few lines before realizing the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dialogue in this matches the DVD exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I ask when the script was written?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The day before we found the DVD.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you finished writing the script one day, and the next day this DVD appeared on your desk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, to be precise, it wasn’t finished since we started writing it the day before and only completed half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, not only did Chitanda’s eyes light up, Banai also curiously leaned in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that why the DVD only has the beginning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you don’t recognize the students acting in it either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ru Xu’s certainty, Duanmu Huai squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this also be some sort of a Puberty Syndrome?\u003C\u002Fp>",1178,"2026-06-06T09:55:04.508Z",1,"novelbin.me","2baf33cd20e870dc3d7168f8c87805bc80f026a421ecbf0e7e0b7d715521e66d","a-core-ship-from-the-start-chapter-2411","a-core-ship-from-the-start-chapter-2409",2580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-core-ship-from-the-start-cover.jpg"]
