"What if a real ghost sneaked into our midst while we were in such a mess and stamped us without us noticing it at all..." The game host rubbed his arms and said, "It's really scary to think about it!"

"When I was doing ghost hunting live broadcasts, I went to collect materials and heard a supernatural story," Brother Hu's teeth began to tremble: "A tourist died of a sudden heart attack in a haunted house, and then his soul wandered around in the haunted house, looking for a substitute..."

The singer panicked: "If it was a real ghost, I wouldn't be dragged by it to be its substitute!"

Lu Lanlan said stubbornly, "Don't be so distracted. There are no ghosts in this world. I think there must be a mechanism on the wall. The NPC hid in the dark and quietly stamped it!"

"Shh!" Tang Niannian motioned for them to be quiet: "Did you hear any noise?"

Everyone fell silent, and a muffled scream was heard.

Jiaming: "Someone is screaming, and there is more than one person, and the source of the sound seems to be the corridor we passed through."

At the same time, the live broadcast room cut the camera to Orthopedic Clinic No. 3.

A doctor NPC wearing a white coat and holding a bone saw rushed out of the dark room, scaring the guests so much that they ran away in all directions.

The doctor dragged the bone saw, making a harsh sound on the ground. Half of his face was covered in blood. His cold gray pupils looked around the consulting room and finally locked onto the movie blogger who was hiding under the table, holding a stethoscope as a weapon.

The doctor NPC squatted down, and the movie blogger closed his eyes tightly.

The doctor smeared the blood plasma on the movie blogger's face and said in a cold and hoarse voice: "Brother, open your eyes and look at me."

"I'm not scary at all. The people who came before me weren't afraid of me at all." The doctor NPC complained more and more, poking the movie blogger's knee with a prop bone saw: "Threate me, intimidate me, make me hand over the password."

The movie blogger couldn't stand it any longer: "Don't you know whether you are scary or not? I was shaking with fear, didn't you see? Just give me your stamp, please don't humiliate me!"

The doctor NPC stamped the death mark on him with satisfaction, then dragged the bone saw to chase the other guests.

The movie blogger leaned back in his chair, exhausted: "I...finally...got...off...work..."

[Hei Zai's previous prediction was completely correct. After being humiliated by the big evil player, the doctor NPC began to humiliate the chicken player. ]

[It's so funny. This guy said he wanted to be the first, but he was humiliated by the NPC and lost his desire to win.]

[So the screams heard from Xiaoshi came from here. The truth is heartbreaking. I wonder if Xiaoshi and the others have discovered it.]

The director was very knowledgeable and cut the camera back to Shi Xi, just in time to capture Shi Xi and Jia Ming walking back, probably wanting to find the source of the sound.

At the corner, the nurse NPC and the patient NPC were standing in the corridor chatting.

"I envy the NPCs who can scare people. It's such a sense of accomplishment to hear the screams of these players."

"If every player is like the guy with the shovel, we should change our profession as soon as possible."

At this moment, two NPCs discovered Shi Xi and immediately became as quiet as a chicken, lying back down as quickly as possible.

Shi Xi: “…”

The live broadcast room changed to a dual perspective. On one side, the guests were chased around by the doctor NPC, screaming and crying. On the other side, there was an NPC lying on the bed pretending to be dead and Shi Xi covering the NPC with a blanket with an innocent look on his face.

[The director definitely did it on purpose! He switched the perspective completely according to Hei Zai's prediction. It's so wicked. I love watching it.]

[These two NPCs pretending to be dead are just like me when I was caught by my boss at work. I continued to work on the surface, but I was panicking inside.]

[She also covered him with a blanket, which was not very harmful but extremely insulting.]

After confirming that the scream came from the clinic and there were no other abnormalities, Shi Xi and Jia Ming went back.

This little episode eased the guests' tense emotions. They temporarily put aside the mystery of the seal and continued to head to the operating room.

As I was walking, the hospital radio suddenly made a shrill noise. After the noise disappeared, a strange music box music began to play again.

A sweet female voice mingled with the music, with a strange smile: "You are so slow~ Come to the operating room to find me~"

The singer asked in alarm, "Did you hear that female voice? Is this broadcast meant for us?"

The game anchor analyzed: "It may be the voice of the NPC in the operating room, trying to break our psychological defenses in advance."

Singer: "To be honest, I wasn't very interested in this live variety show at first. I thought it would not be very well done with such a tight budget. But now I have completely changed my mind. The details are so well done. My scalp tingles when I hear this."

The actor agreed: "When this sound came out, I felt that the operating room was very dangerous."

Shi Xi frowned. After inheriting the talent for magic, her intuition became sharper. She felt that the voice was too weird and uncomfortable to listen to. It didn't seem like the work of the program crew.

Shi Xi asked the system in his heart: "You suddenly assigned me this task, is it because there is really a ghost here?"

[Host, the task of recording a variety show rewards acting talent, and has no connection with supernatural events for the time being. I cannot answer your question.]

Soon, they found operating room No. 1.

The door of the operating room was closed. There were several long bloody scratches on the cold white door panel. The window was shining with a faint green light, which made people stay away from it.

Brother Hu swallowed his saliva and said, "If everyone is afraid, why not prepare yourself mentally first..."

Shi Xi pushed the door open and walked in carelessly.

Tang Niannian and Jiaming followed closely behind.

Brother Hu pointed at them and asked the game anchor: "Why are they all like they're strolling in a park? Didn't that weird female voice just now make them feel a little scared?"

The game host pursed his lips and said, "Brother Hu, do you remember the harsh words we said at the beginning of the game? You said that ghosts would have to avoid Brother Hu, and I said I could carry the whole game."

Brother Hu touched his face and said, "Didn't I slap you in the face before? Why are you bringing this up again?"

"I mean, these two sentences together are about time," the game anchor smiled, "For the big devil players, playing escape room is like going to the park."

Brother Tiger: “You are right.”

Compared with the previous scene, the layout of this operating room was a bit sloppy. In the middle was an operating table covered with a white cloth, and it was equipped with several medical instruments, which were dirty and torn. No one knew where they came from.

In addition to this, there are various garbage bins, medical carts, cabinets, various discarded quilts and clothes piled together, and the air smells like disinfectant.

Brother Hu was much more relaxed when he saw this environment: "Did the production team run out of time when they arranged this place? It was a bit perfunctory, there wasn't even a trace of blood."

"But it's easy to hide people here, there must be a lot of NPCs," the game anchor looked around and said to Shi Xi excitedly: "Xiao Shi, start your performance!"

Shi Xi: "If I get the card, it's mine. Are you sure you want me to do it?"

The game host received glares from other guests and immediately changed his tone: "Please don't do it."

Lu Lanlan looked at Shi Xi worriedly: "You can't threaten the NPCs again this time! No violence!"

After saying that, she immediately went to look for clues.

Others also quickly began to search.

Lu Lanlan soon discovered: "The cart is locked and needs a key."

Singer: "The cabinet can't be opened. The medicine box above needs a password."

The game anchor walked to the front of the table, picked up a stack of white paper, flipped through it and exclaimed: "Oh my God, come and look, these are our death certificates!"

After the others gathered, the game host distributed the notice to them.

Shi Xi walked over slowly and took her own "death certificate", on which was pasted her ID photo and a light red mark.

She quickly glanced through the text and soon noticed the handwritten time of death below. There was no year, month, or day, only a hasty "22:30". This time did not match the real time, as it was not yet eight o'clock.

Shi Xi asked for Jiaming and Tang Niannian's "death certificates" and found that they also died at the same time, and there were also two light red marks on the paper.

She rubbed "22:30" with her fingertips, but the ink was not completely dry and blurred. How did these red marks come from, and what does time have to do with it...

Shi Xi raised his head and looked around, and found a wall clock that was still running. The time was approximately 22:20.

[What does this time mean? It's still a long way from eleven o'clock.]

[The ink hasn't dried yet, it was written not long ago! Did she discover it by chance or because she is very perceptive? If the director hadn't given a close-up, I wouldn't have noticed it. ]

[Can she really pass the level without violence? ]

[Lan Lan asked her not to use violence, and she even gave up the search. I think she only knows how to use violence. She even admitted before that she was an intelligent player.]

"Wait, there seems to be something here." The game host opened the drawer and found a new stack of papers. He said in surprise, "It's still a death certificate! But it's not ours."

Lu Lanlan said: "These ID photos show people wearing professional attire. They may be the medical staff who were once in charge of this operating room. I am sure that they are now hiding in various places as ghosts."

Da Hu: "Their expressions are scary."

Shi Xi took a quick glance and found that the death certificates of these NPCs were all printed, and the date of death was the same as that of Dr. Chen Ming before, with the specific year, month and day.

She raised her eyebrows and walked away slowly.

"Are these death certificates just to scare us, or are they hinting at something?" Lu Lanlan pulled the corner of the game anchor's clothes, looked at him with big eyes, and asked softly, "Brother, do you see anything?"

The game anchor was aroused by this look and cleared his throat: "I am a professional game anchor. I know 800 kinds of game routines. This little trick is certainly not difficult for me. Let me analyze it with you."

"Yeah." Lu Lanlan looked at him expectantly.

The game anchor made a thorough analysis: "Look, we are the ones on this player notification. The program team must have put it in after we split up. They definitely didn't have time to prepare any useful information. It can be considered as something that is simply meant to scare us and distract us. It's all waste paper, and its function is the same as that voice just now."

Lu Lanlan praised: "You are so smart."

The male actor who was listening also said: "Host, your analysis makes sense. Do you have any other ideas?"

"I think the focus is on the death certificates of these NPCs."

[Lanlan's wife is very active in participating in the decryption, so cute! ]

[Hehe, if we don't use violence, Lanlan will definitely win. ]

[There was no movement at all during that hour. He is indeed a brainless violent maniac. ]

[It's so funny. Everyone thought that this death certificate was a distraction prop, but it only distracted her. I think she will regret it later and try to violently grab the card again.]

[No audience defends her anymore, so pitiful hahaha]

[Do you know why? Because we are waiting to be slapped in the face. ]

[I'm too lazy to post comments if there's no footage of the hour, is it that hard to understand? ]

"Click." A crisp sound of unlocking attracted everyone's attention.

The discussion mainly involving the game anchor and Lu Lanlan came to an abrupt end, and they all searched for the voice at the same time.

Then he saw Shi Xi, who was lazily standing in front of the cabinet, casually opening the lid of the medicine box, and her two friends standing beside her with calm faces.

The other guests were not surprised at all when they saw that it was Shi Xi who opened the box.

Only Lu Lanlan's eyes widened: "You opened the medicine box? How did you open it?"

Shi Xi took out two travel cards and covered them casually: "Use the password."

Lu Lanlan said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "Of course I know, the question is how do you know the password?"

Shi Xi: "Just now I heard someone say that the medicine box needs a password, so I tried it with the time on the death certificate."

The singer raised his hand: "I was the one who found the medicine box, but I didn't make the connection. I was just busy listening to their analysis."

Lu Lanlan was so angry that she vomited blood. She looked at the game host with resentment: "Didn't you say that those were interference props and waste paper?"

Brother Tiger: "You were so fierce in your analysis, but now we are 0-5 and you have led us into a ditch."

The game host rubbed his nose with the back of his hand and laughed awkwardly: "It's common to make mistakes in analysis. Besides, I was the one who found those death certificates. I also contributed to her being able to open the lock."

Shi Xi saw red marks on his fingertips and blinked slowly.

So that's how the red mark on the paper came about. She seemed to have discovered something incredible.

Shi Xi looked at the game host and handed over a travel card: "Since you have also made contributions, I will give you a card."

Everyone looked at the game anchor with envy.

The game host waved his hands and said, "I analyzed it wrong. How can I accept it?"

"Forget it then." Shi Xi took back the card.

【You can never guess the hours. 】

[What about the Lu Lanlan fans who said that Xiao Xiao would definitely not be able to do it? Watching you get slapped in the face has become one of the fun of watching this variety show. ]

【Do you know what it means to be bold and careful? 】

[This password is not difficult to find, but everyone else has been misled. The game host and Lu Lanlan bear the main responsibility. When playing games, we should be afraid of those who are both bad at playing and like to show off. They have led everyone astray.]

[You really don't have the face to take it. You have to take the blame. ]

The actor did the math: "We don't have a single card so far, and they've already found six cards."

Brother Tiger chuckled and said, "But we should have gotten quite a few shots."

Shi Xi glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost 30 minutes past midnight. She walked to the operating table and squatted down.

Brother Tiger shouted, "Xiao Shi, what are you doing?"

Shi Xi: "I'm waiting for someone."

Lu Lanlan's alarm bells rang loudly, and she raised her voice and shouted, "Is there an NPC under the operating table? Listen, there is a scary player with bad intentions towards you!"

When the other guests heard this, they almost laughed their heads off.

Brother Tiger: "Are you serious, Miss Lan?"

Game anchor: "Players remind NPCs to be careful of other players. This is the first time I've seen this."

At this time, the wall clock pointed to 22:30 and made a harsh chime.

The operating table vibrated strangely, and a hand with a knife in it pushed aside the cover. Then, a doctor NPC with long hair crawled out from inside.

The doctor NPC raised his pale face and saw Shi Xi's friendly smile.

Shi Xi said in a gentle voice: "You are here?"

Doctor NPC: “…”

Shi Xi looked at her for a while and pointed at the key dangling around her neck: "I want it, thank you."

The doctor NPC readily took the key and gave it to her: "You win."

Apparently, this is the key that will get you the travel card.

Having not received a single card so far, Lu Lanlan was getting anxious: "Shi Xi! You actually threatened the NPC again, you have no credibility!"

Lu Lanlan even overcame her fear and angrily scolded the doctor NPC: "I told you someone was waiting for you, why did you come out?"

The doctor NPC pushed his hair behind his ears and said seriously, "First of all, this player did not threaten me. I handed over the key because I judged that she was qualified to take it. Secondly, I heard your reminder, but according to the regulations, I must appear at this time. As for the reason, you can figure it out by yourselves."

The doctor NPC came out and left the operating room in a cool manner: "I'm offline. Bye."

The guests watched the NPC leave, feeling very complicated for a moment and having many questions.

Singer: "What does the NPC mean by that?"

The game host looked around, locked onto the wall clock, and began to reason: "The clock rings and the time of death on the death certificate is consistent, which means that the NPC will come out to 'kill' us at 22:30, so the NPC said she must show up on time. If I were a game designer, I would place this important NPC in the most open and easiest space to move - under the operating table."

The singer realized: "That's why I waited there for the NPC when I was young."

"You're right," Tang Niannian said, "The NPC thought Xiaoshi was very smart and brave, so he gave her the key."

"Xiao Shi always does whatever she wants, but she can always achieve her goals easily because she has already deciphered the clues," the game anchor spread his hands and said, "I said it before, she is a smart player."

Da Hu glared at him: "What's wrong with you? You've become stronger now. Was that blind analysis before intentional?"

Game anchor: "Of course not, I am just wise after the event."

Jiaming handed the travel card he had just received to Shixi: "Two, and the next destination."

"We are only one card short, so we won't fight with you anymore. Let's go to the next stop. Before that, I'll give you a gift." Shi Xi looked at the game anchor and asked naturally, "Check, is your seal still there?"

The game host moved his hands instinctively, but he quickly reacted and chuckled: "How come I have a seal?"

Shi Xi walked towards him calmly and lifted his right hand: "When you wiped your nose before, I saw red marks on your fingertips. Your hands were clean in the clinic. Is this the ink you accidentally got on them when you attacked the player in the corridor?"

Shi Xi rolled up his sleeves, and there were a few red marks on his arms: "Sure enough, you hid the seal in your sleeves before. It was you who stamped the singer in the hallway while the chaos was going on."

The game anchor appealed for justice: "It wasn't me, I was blocked too."

"You stamped it yourself to clear yourself of suspicion," Shi Xi said, "If you reach behind you now, you will definitely be able to reach the seal."

The singer exclaimed: "Now I remember, he was actually standing behind me!"

Da Hu rubbed his hands in anticipation: "Great, the production team actually went undercover! There is no real ghost, he is the 'ghost'!"

Shi Xi let go of the game host: "Admit it."

The game host glanced at his fingertips and said in annoyance, "I was careless, so you wanted to give me a card before, just to test me. I learned it this time, but I've been eliminated."

Lu Lanlan blushed: "You are really deliberately misleading us and making us think that the clues are waste paper."

The game anchor readily admitted: "Yes, the program team calculated the time we arrived at the operating room before filling in the time of death, setting an alarm, and setting a password. This takes time, so they set up NPCs in the corridor to block the way. Because the hour was resolved too quickly, I used the 'Ghost Seal' to help them buy time. The music that was suddenly broadcast was the signal that was arranged."

"In fact, I said at the beginning that with 21 cards, at most 8 people can clear the level," the game anchor pointed at himself and said, "I am the 8th person who can clear the level without any card - provided that I am not caught. Oops, I have no experience as an undercover agent for the first time. I will correct it next time."

[No wonder his abilities fluctuate, he's an undercover agent. And he only started to act after building trust, and he always chooses the right time.]

[He probably didn't notice that he would be exposed because of the ink. At the beginning, he said that 8 people would pass the level. I really thought he just made a mistake and the others definitely didn't notice it. ]

[Even if violence is prohibited, it would be enough to win by just using your brainpower for hours, but they finished the game so quickly, so won't they be out of the spotlight like the players who were eliminated early?]

[Does the atmosphere group care about the camera? Also, Xiao Shi is awesome. ]

[Okay, she's awesome. I apologize for my earlier recklessness.]

"Well... since there is no real ghost in the corridor, then what's the matter with this seal?" The actor who asked this question had a trembling voice.

When everyone looked, they saw a red seal hanging next to him. It swayed in the air, then suddenly changed direction and stamped his face.

The three words "You're dead" were glaring and blurry, and the wet red liquid slowly flowed down.

The actor wiped his face, put it to his nose and sniffed it, his face changed drastically: "It's real blood!"

The seal fluttered in the air, and a sweet voice rang out in the operating room: "Who will be chosen next?"

The author has something to say:

This variety show is almost over. I will work hard tomorrow.
