Chapter 303: Inhuman (111) (1st update + 2nd update) [VIP]

It’s not clear whether there are water ghosts, but the tourist who almost got into trouble must have been really scared.

From a distance, I could see several diving coaches surrounding him. The man in the middle seemed to be crying. I could vaguely see that he had thrown his diving goggles and swimming cap aside.

Everyone in the production crew was divided into two boats. On the other boat were the photographer and several crew members. Diving problems were not common, but not uncommon. The photographer probably took a picture of the other side and moved the camera back to the other boat.

"This has nothing to do with us, right?" Hong Conghua shook his head and took off his goggles, looking in that direction anxiously. "Will this guy suddenly show up and say that we were the ones who dragged him down? That's too outrageous."

"Based on the style of those who imitated us before, it's very likely." Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and actually nodded in agreement.

"Please don't bother with that," Hong Conghua rolled his eyes unceremoniously. After taking off his goggles, the eyes became much clearer. "What's the difference between this and scamming people?"

"The difference may be that everyone looks the same after putting on goggles and swimming caps," Bai Jinshu curled his lips, "Even if he tries to cheat us in front of the camera, we can fight back with confidence and ask him how he can be sure that it was us who pulled him."

"That's easier to answer," Hong Conghua wiped the water off his face, turned sideways onto the boat and shook his hair, "Since we can't be sure it's us, we can't be sure it's not us, what's going to happen if we continue to argue?"

"Conghua's technique is pretty good," the coach next to them said, not knowing what they were talking about. "The way you got on the boat just now was pretty neat. I'm ready to pull you up."

"How do you get on the boat?" Hong Conghua looked at the coach in surprise. "What posture do you have to have to get on the boat? Can't you just push yourself up with your hands and climb up?"

“That’s still different,” the coach waved his hand. “There’s a lot of resistance coming out of the water, and this is at the beach. The edge of the boat is different from the edge of the swimming pool. If your posture is wrong, it will be quite embarrassing when you come out. I thought you were live streaming and needed to pay attention to your image, so I planned to pull you up, but I didn’t expect you to come up by yourself, and your posture was quite handsome.”

"Ah? Is this true? What posture was I in just now?" Hong Conghua turned his head and looked at Xiaoying curiously.

"Very cool," Xiaoying nodded and gave a thumbs up, "He just pushed himself off the side of the boat and flipped over. So neat and tidy! Conghua, do you go to the gym often?"

"Me?" Hong Conghua scratched his head. "You think too highly of me, a nerd. I don't even run, let alone go to the gym. I don't exercise at all, right?"

"No," the coach looked at him from the side. "Seriously, when you put force on your arms, the muscles are quite obvious. You look like you have trained your muscles in the gym."

"Really? It was especially obvious when you turned over just now," Xiaoying said, "Conghua, don't be so modest."

"Ah? Then... maybe he was practicing while drawing in bed? Can you build muscle while drawing while lying down?" Hong Conghua looked confused. "After you two kept saying that, I started to wonder if I was sleepwalking to the gym to exercise."

Fitness is not something shameful, and there is no need to hide the fact that you have trained your body in the gym on the show.

Could it be that Hong Conghua has really never practiced it?

Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes subtly. The movement of Hong Conghua coming out of the water just now was indeed smooth and flowing. Not to mention the muscle lines on his arms, just looking at the movement, he didn't look like a weak cartoonist at all.

But her expression just now didn't seem like she was acting.

She really didn't know where the muscles in her arms came from, or why she had such skills.

Is it true that someone can develop a toned body without even realizing it?

Bai Jinshu looked at Hong Conghua subtly and felt that she seemed to be missing a piece of memory.

"If you really sleepwalked to the gym, it would be enough to piss off all those who worked hard to train their body." He shook his head, threw these strange thoughts behind him, and waved his hand upwards, "Can someone give me a hand?"

"Let me do it," the coach walked forward a few steps, "Hold my hand and I'll pull you up halfway. Normally you can climb up by yourself, but that probably won't look good on camera. How about you also climb up like chopped green onions?"

"I don't have that skill," Bai Jinshu waved his hand, "Then please help me, coach."

"Small problem," the coach waved his hand, half-crouched beside the boat and stretched out a hand, "You will feel much better if you hold on a bit later."

Bai Jinshu grabbed the coach's hand, supported himself on the edge of the boat with his other hand, and got on board.

"You're quite strong," the coach said, "I didn't even have to use any strength to get here."

"That's an exaggeration," Bai Jinshu smiled and looked around, "What's going on over there, coach?"

"Over there," the coach took a look, "I don't know either, but someone almost couldn't get in just now, so several coaches went over there."

"I heard that person kept shouting about a water ghost," Bai Jinshu continued to ask, "Are there any seaweed or something like that under the sea that could entangle your feet?"

"How is that possible?" the coach waved his hands, his face full of helplessness. "This stretch of sea is all scenic. Look at the water, and the starfish and corals we just went in. If there were any aquatic plants, they would have been pulled out by us, the people who regularly maintain the sea area, before they could grow long enough to wrap around your feet. How is that possible?"

"That person..." The coach continued before Xiaoying finished her words.

"My leg cramped."

He shrugged, "His legs cramped underwater, and in his panic he felt like he was floundering upwards, but in fact he was falling, so he mistakenly thought there was a water ghost trying to catch him."

"Many people who get cramps in the water for the first time experience this," he added. "It's very common to have this illusion because your vision is limited by wearing diving goggles and your perception of your surroundings is distorted."

He thought Bai Jinshu was worried about safety, so he tried to comfort him, "Although it looks scary, there are so many boats and coaches here. If you find something wrong, you can just shout and a bunch of people will come. You don't have to worry about safety."

"Then can we still continue recording here?" Bai Jinshu asked with concern.

"We can definitely record it," the coach glanced at the cameraman holding a camera on another boat and picked up his phone. "Wait a minute, I'll call those coaches and ask them to vacate a boat to take the cramped guest to shore first. Otherwise, if you guys were recording a program and filmed a grown man crying, people who didn't know would think that the coaches in our base had done something to him."

Big man?

After the coach said this, he turned around and called the friend he mentioned. Only then did Bai Jinshu and Hong Conghua realize that the man on the boat who was said to have been grabbed by the ankle by the "water ghost" was actually a man who looked quite strong.

And it seemed like he was really crying.

The coaches who surrounded him and rescued him left. From their position, they could clearly see that after this man threw away his goggles, he tried to take off his diving suit on the boat, regardless of the fact that he was still on the sea in full view of everyone.

Several people who came with him hurried to stop him, but he still insisted on taking off his clothes after being stopped. The whole scene was so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch.

"Oh my god..." Hong Conghua, who had been watching this strange sight for a long time, complained, "This really can't be broadcasted, otherwise the audience will wonder what this guy must have gone through to cry and take off his clothes. In broad daylight, those who know he has a leg cramp will think someone did something to him..."

"You'd better stop talking..." Bai Jinshu held his forehead with his hand, "Just now I was worried that someone would try to scam us. If something really happens here, it will be a live broadcast accident. Then Director Qiao will really doubt his life, and we can forget about recording this show."

"I think we should not record this program..." Hong Conghua silently added, "Do you feel that the six of us have been like the Grim Reaper for the past three days? Accidents have occurred wherever we go. First, there was an accident at the resort. A staff member was missing when we went to record the program in the morning. In the afternoon, there was an accident with the amusement equipment at the amusement park. Last night, we started looking for someone at the beach when we stayed at the hotel. Today, when we came to dive, another guest said that a water ghost had captured his substitute."

"The six of us are the gods of death, right?" The yellow-haired man appeared out of nowhere, "That's great, our lives are no longer in danger."

"Where are you from?" Hong Conghua turned and looked at the yellow-haired man.

"Come over there," the yellow-haired man pointed to the other side, "Hey, are you three watching the live broadcast?"

"What live broadcast are you watching?" Xiaoying didn't react.

"Our live broadcast, there seems to be some gossip in the comments, do you want to eat it?" Huang Mao excitedly flipped through his phone, "I'll show you."

Bai Jinshu took the phone and saw that the live broadcast room on Huangmao's screen was the program team's live broadcast room. However, at this time, in order to avoid the guy who was crying and taking off his clothes, the camera had to be moved to the other side and was filming an empty shot of the sea.

The comments were filled with comments like "stingy guy who didn't show the guest's abdominal muscles."

"Turn it up, turn it up..." The yellow-haired man beside him tilted his neck, "Why are you looking at these? This is what the guy who took the photo just now said to change the subject. He said that we are going to change clothes, so he took a picture of the sea in the distance for everyone. Turn it up, the melon is on top."

"What melon?" Hong Conghua looked up at the yellow-haired man.

"That guy who said there was a water ghost," the yellow-haired man pointed at the guy who was still crying, "something happened to him before, and the camera didn't have time to avoid it, so it just happened to capture the scene where a few coaches rescued him from the water."

Although the waters of this diving base are safe and it is equipped with many coaches, guests occasionally drown due to improper operation, so no one thought it was a big deal at first. The coach who stayed on the boat even took the opportunity to introduce some precautions after diving in front of the camera, so that everyone who wanted to come diving could learn to stay calm underwater.

The problem occurred after this guy was rescued.

His boat was not far from the live camera. Although the sound recording of the outdoor live broadcast was average, it still captured his voice of "There's a water ghost, there's a water ghost holding my feet, something was holding me and I couldn't get up!" It also captured him shouting in panic as soon as he got up, looking panicked and frightened.

Now many people in the live broadcast room felt a little sympathetic.

[It seems like this brother was frightened.]

[What do you think? After entering the water, everything is pitch black. If something unexpected happens to you, you will definitely panic.]

[Er Si and Cong Hua seem to have gone down. The live broadcast camera can't follow them. Are they okay? ]

[No, didn't you hear what the coach said? Usually, accidents are caused by improper operation. Ersi and Conghua have experience, so it's okay.]

[So what's the point of diving? Human ancestors walked on land from water tens of thousands of years ago, not to let you return to the water without sunlight. ]

[Isn’t this water clean? ]

[…If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense, brother. Although the resort here is not famous, the diving base is very famous. The water level here is not high, there are no dangerous ocean currents and fish, and there are rich underwater landscapes. It is a very famous novice-friendly base in China, and there has never been an accident. In addition, this sea has been fully developed. Although the sea water is not as clear as glass, it has a high degree of light transmittance. There is light when you go underwater, not pitch black. ]

[You are so knowledgeable about the above, but someone else is in trouble now? ]

Huang Mao said excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's it. Look at the melon."

Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows and scrolled down.

【Haha, this person deserves it. 】

[This guy is not a novice at all. He is a veteran and notorious in the circle.]

[Hey, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have recognized him, isn't this the You XX? ]

【Who do you know this person? 】

[Anyone who is in the domestic diving circle, or has joined a few diving base groups or diving equipment store groups, knows this person. His WeChat ID is Youxia, and his real name seems to be You. Anyway, everyone calls him You Moumou. He says he is a diving veteran, and he pretends to be very knowledgeable in various groups every day. Whenever a novice or a novice asks a question, he will answer a lot of questions as if he knows a lot. If you can last more than half a month in a group with him without getting annoyed by him, you are considered generous.]

[How could an old hand like him still...get into trouble? 】

[Tsk, you believe his boasting, he is just a man who knows how to talk on paper, he can only pretend to be an experienced man in various novice bases, to deceive newbies and young girls, just let him challenge the advanced version of the base and see what happens. ]

[This guy only knows how to show off, and he has deceived many novices. Most of the newbies in diving are just playing around and don’t plan to learn and experience in depth, so they were deceived by him. Last year, he seemed to be dating four women at the same time, and ended up meeting his three girlfriends in the same diving group. If the group didn’t require verification by the group owner to join, there would have been a lot of people watching the fun. Tsk tsk tsk.]

[He is not an old hand at diving, but he is an old hand at cheating. Before he entered the diving circle, he had cheated on others and was beaten up.]

[Have you ever played with it? What kind of thing is this? Tell me about it. ]

The crying of You Moumou in the distance was still echoing on the sea, making many people feel embarrassed and too ashamed to look at him.

It’s hard to imagine that such a person is actually a scumbag who has four girlfriends at the same time.

Hong Conghua also muttered: "The standards of the Sea King are so low now? Such a bastard can cheat, and he is really not picky about who he cheats with."

"Scumbag." Xiaoying curled her lips.

"It's more exciting later." The yellow-haired man beside them gestured for them to continue watching with great interest.

[He was caught cheating by his ex-girlfriend. It turned out that his ex-girlfriend's brother was a famous gangster when he was young. He called people to surround him and beat him up. He didn't hold back at all. It seems that he couldn't get out of bed for three months. After this incident, he didn't dare to cheat on girls in the local area, so he ran to the diving circle to continue to be a sea king. ]

[And he continues to play four games in the diving circle. ]

[Oh my god, such a scumbag.]

[Then this person almost got into trouble, so he deserved it. ]

[Although he is a bit of a scumbag in terms of relationships, the situation was so dangerous just now that many coaches came over. You can call him a scumbag, but you don’t need to mock him and say he deserves to die, right? ]

【This person is not only a lover. 】

[This is a real scumbag. A few years ago, when no one knew he was a worthless person, some people actually thought he was a great diver and even made plans to go diving with him. But he ended up killing them.]

[Killed? ]

[Literally killed, someone died during the diving process.]

【This guy was fine at the time, and he was still in the group for a few days. It was not until the family of the deceased got the deceased's account and posted an obituary in the group and made a fuss that we knew his diving partner had died. The family didn't know how the person died, and he kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything. He insisted that it was not him who was diving with the other person. But the circle is so small, and our colleagues occasionally saw people diving there. We all knew a few of them. After asking around, it was him that day. He was inexperienced to begin with, and he forced himself to go to a diving site that was not suitable for his level. As a result, he killed the other person and insisted that it was because of the other person's lack of skills. The other person's skills were much better than his! 】

[Uh... in this case, he really deserves it. ]

[Didn’t he just keep shouting “water ghost, water ghost”? The people he killed are here to seek revenge.]

【This is justice done.】

【It really deserves it. 】

[This Chunchun deserves to die. 】

There were many comments from people outside the circle in the barrage.

Those people who were lurking in the circle probably didn’t expect to see the notorious You Moumou in an entertainment live broadcast. Someone spoke to him in the barrage, and they were so angry that they posted a lot of comments.

Scumbags are common, but scumbags who have killed people are rare.

Although the camera moved away, many viewers were still indignant and cursed in the barrage for a long time, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, as long as they finished cursing, it was over.

The man did not die in the camera, although he almost got into trouble in the water and was yelling about being a water ghost. Most people thought he deserved it, and that the innocent diver he killed was probably looking for him to take his life.

After all, most people believe that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. If this "water ghost" is the person he killed and comes looking for him, then it is not a problem of this diving base, but a problem of this person. The worries and concerns about the diving base, Bai Jinshu and Hong Conghua who went into the water, also disappeared.

Now that the camera has moved away, many people cursed a few words after listening to the story and then left. After all, the person didn't die in front of the camera, so there was no psychological burden for them to curse.

Bai Jinshu scrolled down and saw the comments at the back urging the photographer to turn the camera back quickly, some wanting to see the guest's abdominal muscles, and many asking why they didn't broadcast live underwater.

"How about it? Interesting, isn't it?" The yellow-haired man blinked proudly. "This man being attacked by a water ghost has nothing to do with us. Don't make up your mind."

Even if what he said was true and someone pulled him up from below, the probability that this person was the unlucky diver he killed was higher than that it was strangers like them.

"What are you so proud of..." Hong Conghua held his forehead speechlessly.

Huang Mao curled his lips and said, "Anyway, this guy is asking for death. If he really dies, it's not our fault."

In the distance, several coaches finally coordinated the boat dispatch, and the boat carrying You Moumou headed towards the shore. Everyone in the base breathed a sigh of relief.

The rest of the program was able to continue.

The six guests of the program team are paired in pairs, Huangmao and Xiaoying in one group, and Nianyu and Herbisk in another group.

Nothing happened during the rest of the process and everyone had a great time.

By the end, the guests had almost forgotten all the bad events of the previous two days. Under the guidance of the assistant director and several coaches, they took a group photo under the sea and posted it on Weibo to celebrate the end of the day.

After diving, several guests took off their diving suits and took a simple shower in the bathroom in the base. The live broadcast content in the evening was a barbecue at the beach. Director Qiao simply turned off the live broadcast and posted a return time, waiting for everyone to get ready and the makeup artist to touch up their makeup before turning it on again.

After all, the ultraviolet rays at the seaside are strong. No matter how well protected, after an afternoon, everyone's exposed skin will be sunburned red. The makeup artist does not play a big role in touch-ups. It is mainly to balance everyone's skin color, and at least not to make the sunburn marks on the skin too obvious during the live broadcast.

When Bai Jinshu changed his clothes and walked out of the locker room of the base, he saw another boat heading towards the diving area from the starting point not far away.

"There's still some at this time?" He glanced at the time.

"The base will be closed at 5:30," Herbiskus, who came out with him, said casually, "It's only 5 o'clock. There's still half an hour before their end of get off work."

Bai Jin was surprised: "Can't we go off work after the guests leave?"

They were the last boat to leave. The diving reservation time starts from three hours. There is no night diving at this base, and there were no more guests behind them.

Herbies: "If I leave half an hour early, my boss might think I'm losing out."

Bai Jinshu twitched his lips: "You are indeed a capitalist."

This is the kind of statement that will get you hanged under the street lamp if you make it known to others!

Herbisk didn't comment, shrugged and walked towards the program crew's car.

The guests returned to the car in twos and threes, put on some simple makeup, and headed to the beach for the barbecue.

The barbecue area is a location specially opened up in the resort. All the barbecue stoves are prepared in advance, and various skewered ingredients are available for sale on site. Many tourists come directly from the beach in their swimsuits, carrying swimming rings and sun hats to choose a barbecue spot. It is sunset at this point, and the view of the sky is nice. Most of the people occupying the seats in the barbecue area are taking pictures, and only a few spots are emitting white smoke from the barbecue.

Bai Jin said that the location where they were filming was not far from the crowd. The director did not specifically ask them to avoid the crowd, but instead placed the recording location at the edge of the barbecue area.

At this time, everyone was playing with their phones or taking pictures, so not many people noticed them.

Six guests sat down and played a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors games in front of the camera. Three lucky and unlucky guests were selected to buy ingredients for tonight. The rest of the people lay on the lounge chairs in the barbecue area in the pleasant evening breeze, enjoying life leisurely.

Hong Conghua opened WeChat to check on his assistant's progress, then closed his eyes to rest.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the yellow-haired man suddenly shook her.

“Chopped green onions, chopped green onions!”

"What's wrong?" Hong Conghua replied with his eyes closed.

"Have you seen the photo we took this afternoon?" Huangmao's tone sounded a little strange.

"What photo? The one in the sea?" Hong Conghua asked, "Isn't it good to take a photo like that? No one's face can be seen, and you can post it without even retouching it."

"No, did you look closely?" Huang Mao shook her a few more times persistently, until Hong Conghua opened her eyes speechlessly, and then continued, "I just checked Weibo, guess what I saw?"

"What did you get?" Hong Conghua asked in cooperation.

"Some fans commented on my Weibo post saying that in the photo we took, there was someone behind the six of us!"
