Three-and-a-half-year-old Chao Chao runs away from home because she is afraid of getting beaten up. She accidentally bonds with a system meant to redeem villains. Her task is to persuade villains t...
Fifteen minutes have passed since the children set off.
As the accompanying PD listened to the messages from other children who had successfully found treasures coming through her earpiece, she looked down with a mixture of happiness and unease.
"Here... umm, exactly the same, that's right, this is it."
Chaochao held the map and spun around in place. When she raised her head again, her bright eyes were fixed on the left front.
"Let's head this way next."
The PD was on the verge of tears.
They've been walking astray for ten minutes now.
"Ahem... Chaochao, wait a minute, look—did we go to the wrong place?"
"Did you go to the wrong place?"
Just as Chaochao was about to pull her around, she looked over with a puzzled expression. Then she looked down and carefully compared the reference points on the map.
"No, there's a big patch of grass drawn on it, and we're right here."
She was confident and instead comforted her older sister.
"Don't worry, sister, follow me and we'll find it soon. There are small stones on the ground, let's walk carefully!"
The little dumpling's childish voice and adult-like demeanor are so adorable that the PD couldn't help but smile with affection the moment she met her eyes.
Then she silently shed tears in her heart.
Baby, is it possible that it's not a patch of grass but a tree, and there's even a sign hanging on the trunk... Damn, who is this artistic person who drew this map?
She was secretly grumbling to herself, so she didn't notice that Chaochao suddenly blinked in one direction:
"Huh...? That looks like..."
The child's soft murmur was drowned out by the sudden loud noise behind him.
"—Creak!!"
The cameraman following behind accidentally stepped on some gravel in the grass. His body, carrying the heavy equipment, immediately lost its balance and could have easily bumped into the child in front of him.
"careful!!!"
The PD's heart jumped into her throat. She reacted quickly, rushing forward to help another cameraman grab her swaying colleague.
Fortunately, the situation stabilized and no accident occurred.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around...
Chaochao, who should have been by my side, is nowhere to be seen.
The three stared at each other, cold sweat instantly soaking their backs.
"Where's Chaochao?!"
at the same time--
Huo Qin's heart suddenly started beating faster.
He turned around as if sensing something and immediately saw Zou Shilin, whose hand holding the walkie-talkie was trembling like a leaf and whose face was as white as paper.
The other person walked over.
Three seconds of dead silence.
"Mr. Huo..."
Director Zou's voice was stuck in his throat.
Huo Qin stared intently at him with his deep, narrow eyes, like a raging fire burning beneath a layer of ice.
Say it again.
The sound was frighteningly soft.
Director Zou swallowed hard: "Chaochao... is gone."
Huo Qin loosened his collar and almost laughed in exasperation.
The person was arrested yesterday, how could something still go wrong?
“Each guest’s microphone is equipped with a GPS, don’t worry, we’ll check it right now…” Zou Shilin, sweating profusely, hurriedly said. However, the information coming through the walkie-talkie the next second made his expression change drastically, “What! The GPS is malfunctioning?!”
The GPS positioning function of the three staff members who accompanied Chaochao was normal, but Chaochao herself lost signal.
Under what circumstances would the signal suddenly disappear?
No one dared to think about it too much.
Jiang Chi, who was nearby completing his final mission, sensed something amiss. A sense of unease crept into his heart, and he frowned, asking, "Uncle, is it Chaochao?"
Huo Qin remained silent.
Director Zou took a deep breath, trying to calm his trembling mind. He finally regained some of the composure he usually possessed as a director. He said, "If a child disappears for three minutes, even if they get lost, they won't be too far from our staff. I've already instructed—"
"try to find."
Huo Qin's voice was as thin as a frozen lake in winter as he took the technician's tablet directly. The map on the screen showed that the red dot representing Chaochao had indeed disappeared.
"Stop the broadcast." His voice was calm, but his knuckles were already white. "Get the drones running, everyone go find them."
Three minutes ago, at the moment the unexpected happened, Chaochao's live stream immediately stopped filming.
A black live stream interface was filled with a dense array of question marks.
【????????】
What's going on? The live stream screen is black? Is my phone malfunctioning?
[My account went black too, did the live stream crash?]
The camera was shaking really badly just now. Did it hit the ground and malfunction?
I think it's very likely.
[Does anyone understand? I was happily watching Chaochao, and suddenly it's not spicy anymore? Huh? My Chaochao is so big!]
Is it possible—and I say possible—that Chaochao is truly gone?
[A second before the screen went black, I think I heard someone calling for Chaochao.]
[I heard SOS too!! I thought I was hallucinating!]
[I checked other people's streams, and their streams are still running.]
[@The production team of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" needs to give us an explanation! Otherwise, we're going to cause trouble!!]
Three minutes later, all of Liang Beibei's live streams were shut down.
...
When Chaochao woke up, she was on a soft, lush meadow, and the sky as far as the eye could see was cut into irregular block shapes by branches and grass tips.
Chaochao, whose mind was completely blank, slowly sat up and then stared blankly, holding her head.
When she stood with PD, she seemed to see something sparkling in the distance and thought it was the legendary treasure.
Then--
Chaochao's clear eyes suddenly turned serious.
