Yan Shixun has roamed the world for years, earning a modest living by catching ghosts and exorcising demons.
But when his rich third-generation friend begged him to join a failing variety sho...
Chapter 200 Jinjiang
Before the program group set off, the official person in charge casually asked Master Ma who was beside him, asking about the program group's destination this time.
Taoist Priest Ma was still busy with the affairs of Yinlu and Binda. When he heard the question, he did not think about it carefully. He blurted out and told the official person in charge that he had calculated it once before and there was no problem for the program crew to go to the Changshou Village at that time, but he didn't know about this time because Director Zhang did not contact him.
However, Taoist Priest Ma did not take it seriously. He just said, "Director Zhang should have consulted other Taoist priests. Director Zhang seems to be in a good mood recently, so there should be no problem, right?" Then he was hurriedly called away, and was so busy that he had no time to rest.
Before leaving, Taoist Priest Ma thought for a moment and said to the official person in charge, "Let's ask Director Zhang. Recently, all the Taoist priests in Haiyun Temple have been injured or recuperating. I have been so busy that I haven't been back to the temple for a long time, so I don't know the specific situation."
The official responsible person complied.
However, he was also very busy. Often, before he hung up the current call, another call would come in. He worked non-stop for days on end and even slept by sitting in a chair during meetings.
This matter was forgotten by the official responsible person.
After all, the longevity village is an experimental project officially launched in the southern region. In his opinion, it is a safety net and he instinctively feels that there should be no problems.
When he remembered again, the production crew had already entered the mountain.
The official person in charge suddenly remembered this incident while on the phone, and quickly waved to the person next to him, took the tablet and took a look at the situation of the program team.
The main screen shows a leisurely and relaxing travel atmosphere, with blue sky, white clouds, clear water and green mountains, which looks very comfortable.
This is in stark contrast to the sense of crisis that was about to break out in previous episodes.
The official person in charge nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved.
If even the cooperation with the officials in the southern region were to have problems, then he would really have to sympathize with Zhang Wubing.
How can there be such an unlucky director? He encounters ghosts wherever he goes.
Fortunately, this episode went smoothly and it looked no different from an ordinary travel program. Zhang Wubing's original intention of starting the program was finally realized.
The official leaders were all happy for Zhang Wubing.
He casually called Zhang Wubing, wanting to ask about the results of the fortune-telling before Zhang Wubing's departure, but the call was not connected.
However, when the live camera swept over, Zhang Wubing was still talking and laughing with the staff next to him while working. It seemed that he did not hear the call and was not in danger.
So the official person in charge shook his head and smiled, and planned to call Zhang Wubing after he finished his work.
However, before the official person in charge could think of the matter again, someone from the special department had already called him.
"The person in charge of monitoring the live broadcast said that all the footage is now black and there seems to be danger. The screams of the guests can be heard from the live broadcast."
The staff member worriedly said, "Maybe there is a problem with the program again."
After filming several episodes, the special department has become accustomed to the frequent encounters with ghosts on the show. This time, when the audience was still confused, they discovered the problem first and reported it to the official person in charge.
The official person in charge covered his aching stomach, stood up from the meeting, strode out, and quickly took the tablet from the person next to him.
Sure enough, both the main screen and the split screens of the guests were plunged into darkness.
Unlike the leisurely and relaxed look seen by the official officials before, the current camera has turned weird and filled with a tense sense of crisis.
The light from the flashlights in the guests' hands swayed back and forth, making the small building dim and bright, making the atmosphere even more tense. Even the audience began to slowly realize that something was wrong, and they were panicked and didn't know what was going on.
Some viewers left comments expressing their concern, wanting to ask the program crew whether everyone was safe.
[Is there a power outage? Is there a backup power source? Is everyone safe?]
[It’s so dark in the mountains, you must be careful, it’s easy to fall and get hurt.]
[Is anyone from the director's team here? Can you give me a reply? I'm a little scared.]
[Ahhh Director Zhang, please stop waving the flashlight! The more I watch, the more scared I get. It’s like I’m running for my life.]
[Zhao Zhen's split screen is turned off, does anyone know why?]
[Several guests seemed to need to wash and change clothes, so they turned off the split screen. But in this situation, I really hope they don’t turn it off! It really makes me panic that I can’t see their situation.]
However, there should have been people from the director team who were paying special attention to the barrage and comments, but at this time there was no response at all, and they were not even seen in the shaking camera.
The audience who received no response could only hang in suspense and pray in front of the screen that nothing would happen.
Many people couldn't stop refreshing the comments, wanting to see if any staff from the program team would respond.
But every time I refreshed my memory, my hopes were dashed and I felt more and more panic.
[If you are okay, please let me know! I am really scared and I can’t help but start to have all kinds of wild thoughts.]
[Me too... I've been wondering if they're in danger again, after all, the cry for help just now...]
[Psst, ssst, what a crow's mouth! Don't say that! I'm already very pitiful. If something happens again... emmm, did you destroy the earth in your previous life? What kind of luck is this?]
While the audience was still waiting for a response from the program team, the official person in charge had already quickly obtained the analysis report from the special department.
In the darkness caused by the power outage, many guests panicked, causing their split-screen shots to shake around, creating an even more terrifying atmosphere under the illumination of the swaying flashlights.
However, precisely because of this, the camera captured a lot of details that are easily overlooked.
The special department that had been following the program quickly contacted the live broadcast platform and obtained the video files saved by the live broadcast. The entire technical team was mobilized to repeatedly play it back in slow motion frame by frame, trying to see clearly what was happening in the small wooden building at the moment when the flashlight was illuminated.
However, the final discovery made the technical team's scalp tingle.
Even though they know that they are now in an office full of people, with familiar colleagues sitting behind and beside them, the lights above their heads are bright, and the air conditioning is turned on very high.
But they inexplicably felt a chill spreading up their spines.
It was as if, in the blind spot of their vision, there was something quietly hiding there, silently staring at them with red eyes full of death...
The technical team member who first discovered the real situation couldn't help but look around and behind him suspiciously every few seconds, fearing that there was a dead body standing behind him without his knowledge.
Even when someone entered or left the office, or the door opened and closed, the technicians would shiver because of the cold wind blowing past their backs and necks, and look behind them in horror.
When the official person in charge was listening to the technical team leader's briefing on the phone, he was wondering what had happened to scare everyone like that. It was clear from the live broadcast that the guests were all in good condition and did not seem to be frightened.
This question was not answered until the official person in charge opened the document.
——A bunch of swollen, pale, rotten corpses stood quietly in the darkness, staring at the guests with their red eyes.
But the guests were completely unaware. Even when they walked past the corpses, they acted as if they didn't see them and their expressions didn't change at all.
Although the tense feeling of escape created by the flashlight shaking in Zhang Wubing's hand scared the audience, they all blamed Zhang Wubing.
However, this allowed the technical team to see most of the dark corners.
In each frame of the still shot, a rotting corpse can be seen illuminated by the flashlight.
The entire corpse had been swollen from being soaked, like a balloon that had been blown up, and it was completely inflated, like a fat man weighing four or five hundred pounds.
They stand quietly in the corners of the room where no one passes, behind the floor lamp, behind the sofa... Their terrifying figures can be seen in every corner that no one notices.
And the pairs of red eyeballs reflected the light of the flashlight, lighting up faintly in the darkness, which was horrifying to see.
Even the official person in charge couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene for the first time, and the voice he was talking to the person next to him stopped abruptly.
It took him several seconds to come back to his senses.
"Call Haiyun Temple! Where is Taoist Priest Ma? Where is Taoist Priest Song?"
In a hurry, the official in charge's voice changed, and his broken voice showed his anxiety: "Which Taoist priest in Haiyun Temple can be moved? Hurry!"
He immediately asked the people around him to prepare to set off for Changshou Village.
The entire special department immediately took action, the rescue team was quickly assembled, and all personnel were in place immediately.
The official person in charge strode out quickly, flipping through the analysis report in his hand as he walked, but the more he read, the more frightened he became.
In several screenshots, An Nanyuan and others clearly passed by the corpses. There were even several times when their eyes had swept over the corpses, but they simply did not see their existence.
It was like in their eyes…those rotten corpses that caused them unhappiness and negative emotions didn’t exist at all.
What caused the official person in charge to panic the most was a screenshot of Lu Xingxing.
Lu Xingxing seemed to have just run out of the bathroom, water was dripping down his hair, he was only wrapped in Zhao Zhen's coat, standing on the ground barefoot, looking disheveled.
But he seemed to be looking at something, his eyes looking vigilantly towards the corner in front of him.
But there was nothing reflected in his eyes.
Lu Xingxing looked like a Husky looking for a mouse. He looked fierce and not to be trifled with, but his eyes were filled with confusion and emptiness, and he had no idea where the mouse was.
But judging from the screenshots held by the official person in charge, that is not the case at all.
——In the corner that Lu Xingxing was looking at, there was clearly a rotten corpse standing!
Lu Xingxing found the right direction, but he didn't see what he was looking for.
The official person in charge felt his heart sank.
He realized that the people on the show… had no idea that the corpse was right next to them.
But no matter whether it was a phone call or a barrage, it was impossible to contact the program crew in the mountains, as if they had forgotten about their mobile phones.
This made it impossible for the official responsible persons to even remind them.
The panic made the official head's stomach hurt even more. He covered his stomach with one hand, strode into the car, and rushed to the longevity village as quickly as possible. At the same time, he immediately contacted people in the southern region and asked them about the situation in the longevity village in a serious tone.
Why would a village with so many rotting corpses become a project for cooperative filming and publicity!
But people in the southern regions were also confused when they received the call.
"That's not right. We've been there many times before. People in charge of tourism and publicity have been there for field investigations. When they came back, they all said in unison that Changshou Village is a great place."
The person on the other end of the phone was surprised: "Everyone who has been there says it's good. They also said that even they themselves want to retire early and settle down in the longevity village."
The official in charge felt that the situation before them had become ridiculous.
Whether it is people who have been to the Longevity Village or the social updates or blog photos posted by people who have been there before, they all show that the Longevity Village is a paradise-like place.
But now, under the live camera, danger is lurking in the darkness.
This sense of division made it difficult for official officials to distinguish between reality and falsehood.
or……
The truth that had been hidden for a long time was finally revealed by the live broadcast.
While the official person in charge quickly rushed to the Changshou Village, Master Ma also received a call.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water. When he answered the phone, his voice broke: "Longevity Village? Impossible!"
Taoist Ma remembered that Zhang Wubing had come to him for divination, and the divination at that time indicated that everything was fine. How could this happen?
"Which Taoist priest helped Director Zhang calculate it later? What was the result?"
Taoist Priest Ma quickly stopped a Taoist priest passing by and asked him.
But the Taoist priest shook his head blankly: "I have never heard of it."
"The matter of Binda and the abnormal things left over from Yinlu have not been cleaned up yet. In addition, most of the fellow Taoists are injured and there is a shortage of manpower, so almost all the people who can move in Haiyun Temple are outside."
The Taoist priest said sincerely: "Even if Director Zhang went to Haiyun Temple, there would be no one there."
"Besides, I haven't heard anyone mention that Director Zhang went to the temple."
That means... I haven't calculated it.
Taoist Priest Ma raised his head in a daze, and his eyes suddenly felt dizzy.
