Still shaken, Song Xitong picked up a corner of the saw blade and gently applied pressure with her fingers...

It's broken?

"???"

"Fake?"

The young heiress turned her head and looked at the severed lamp, its head and tail connected by an extremely thin fishing line.

Is there a tape recorder with a working light hidden at the far end?

She pressed down on it with her hand, and immediately the ear-piercing cutting sound she had just heard came from inside.

[Song Xitong, please don't do anything unrelated to your character's personality, and... please stop smashing the props... that saw blade is very expensive to order...]

Director Ma's helpless voice came through the room's loudspeaker; he had told Zhi Nuan not to design such a terrifying plot!

He was really afraid that after recording a show, he would be bankrupted by the guests!

"Hehe..." Xi Tong laughed coldly, her legs still trembling.

"Xi Tong...actually, I was going to tell you just now...that thing is fake..."

"But they won't let me say it..."

When Bai Puti's voice came through the phone, the young heiress immediately sat down on the spot:

"It's okay. Where are you now? Can you come find me? My legs are a little weak..."

"Okay, we'll be right there!"

Little Bodhi hung up the phone, unlocked his shackles, and ran out the door.

(Note: Once the key is found, the door will open automatically.)

The interior of the castle was intricate and complex. It took Bai Puti a long time to finally push open a door!

"Xi Tong, I..."

Before he could even utter the words "They've arrived," Bai Puti was stunned by the sight before him!

This isn't Xi Tong's room! It's Chu Mo Yan's!

She was suspended in a giant transparent water tank, the water inside of which had been stained blood red!

"Moyan!"

Little Bodhi immediately ran over. The latter had her head hanging down, her fair neck slashed open by a sharp blade, and blood was flowing from it!

Chu Moyan, who was pretending to be dead, really didn't want to continue recording. Not only was the role she was assigned ridiculous, but...

She was killed by the killer ten minutes into the game?

"I can tolerate not being able to speak, but now you won't even let me move! Director, are you two-armed?!"

"And another thing! Can we remove this special effects makeup? Can we loosen the rope suspending me? I'm really going to die in a minute!"

Bullet comments—

【？？？】

Someone dies right at the start of the game? This...

The special effects makeup used by the production team is as realistic as ever.

Wait! I think I've found the key point!

[Shut up girl --> Mute girl --> Dead girl... Uh, Director... no, Miss Zhi Nuan, do you have a grudge against Mo Yan?]

...

"The killer has already made his move!"

Bai Puti looked at the locked water tank.

She figured she must have escaped in the same way as herself and Xitong.

But... why don't I see the phone?

Bodhi looked around, then his gaze settled on Chu Moyan's messy hair.

"Is she wearing headphones?"

She climbed onto the side of the water tank and lifted the other person's hair.

There really was an earphone there!

Perhaps because they were standing close by, Bai Puti noticed a bulge on Chu Moyan's neck.

She reached out in confusion and found a key in the flesh!

"!!!"

"Wait! Mo Yan found the key! Could she have been... killed while on the phone?!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Bodhi immediately took off the earphones from her ears and put them on herself.

It was indeed in the middle of a call!

"Hey! Hey! Can you hear me?"

She became anxious again!

Because once the call is connected, the room's mechanism will be triggered.

Moreover, it's clear that the mechanisms on their side have been shut down...

But what about the other side? Did Chu Moyan pass on any clues about escaping before she died?

"Bodhi...it's so cold...help me..."

A weak voice came from the other end of the phone, and it sounded like something was still falling into the water.

"Xiao Ning!" Xiao Bodhi's eyes widened: "How are things on your end?!"

"Ice chunks are falling... It's so cold..."

"Ice cubes!"

Bodhi understood and quickly searched for clues in Chu Moyan's room.

As a result, that string of numbers was written on her arm!

"Xiao Ning!!"

She shouted into the phone.

The sound of things falling stopped shortly afterward...

But Xiao Ning's voice also disappeared!

"Xiao Ning! Are you out yet? Xiao Ning!"

Oh no! I hope something bad has happened to Xiao Ning!

With that thought in mind, she turned and rushed out of the room.

The girl who had kept her mouth shut was left hanging messily in the water like a Peking duck...

"Um... Little Bodhi... I'm playing the role of a corpse..."

"It's not a real corpse..."

"Can't you just put me down before you walk? This is really tiring!"

...

On the other side, Yu Jianing sat by the water tank, took off her headphones, and threw them into the water.

"The first one has been dealt with... there are six left..."

"Except for the last day, I can only kill one at a time normally, tsk tsk..."

"That's quite troublesome."

"However, being saved by Bai Bodhi can at least prove my innocence and buy me some time..."

"Not bad, right?"

She thought as she put her hands into the handcuffs and looked at her television, which was still playing a video.

Bai Bodhi will be here soon, it's time for me to get in the water...

Otherwise, if my body isn't cool enough, it'll be really hard to fool her.

·

About ten minutes later, Bai Puti opened Yu Jianing's door.

"Xiao Ning!" The former's face was fair, and there were still many ice cubes in the water tank.

A surge of anger welled up inside him.

Little Bodhi quickly climbed onto the water tank.

He took the key hanging beside him, helped Jia Ning unlock the shackles, and pulled her out of the water.

"Little Ning? Little Ning?"

She reached out and gently patted her face, checking her carefully. She must have fainted from the cold.

The killer appeared at my door at 10 o'clock, and it's already 11:30.

Excluding the time I spoke with her, Yu Jianing was very likely in the water for more than half an hour.

"Production team, aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?"

She stared at the camera in the room and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

The director behind the camera was speechless...

Am I taking the blame for Yu Jianing? She'd only been in the water for less than ten minutes!

What's most infuriating is that he can't say it outright; he can only apologize through a megaphone.

They said their staff would arrive immediately and would ensure Jia Ning was safe.
