Ji Yang s...
Chapter 37 Un Entertainment, but Jiang Yang is not a dodder.
"Jiang Yang, what on earth did you do to offend those two jinxes? You don't even know..."
The conversation ended abruptly the moment he closed the door. Huang Er dropped his nonchalant demeanor and said to the others with a serious expression, "Something's not right."
Jiang Yang also noticed the faint, almost imperceptible glances coming from other dormitories after they returned.
It's not just about exploring and observing; it's more like countless venomous snakes lurking in the shadows.
They were being watched.
“They’re mostly from Group B,” Ji Yang added.
Group B finished their course early, so it seems that the information they received might not be the same as that of the others.
"Why not just grab someone and ask them?"
It was Nan Ke's suggestion, but it was decisively rejected by the other three.
Jiang Yang said, "It's still unclear whether they're targeting us or all players except those in Group B."
If they act rashly, and someone takes advantage of the chaos to focus fire, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Nan Ke kicked the bed leg angrily, "What do we do now!"
The three of them said in unison, "Get some sleep and replenish your energy."
After class, Nan Ke received a system notification. Generally speaking, if you close the doors and windows and stay in the dormitory at night, the risk factor is definitely not high.
The layout of the double rooms in Group A is not bunk beds, but two separate soft beds, one on the left and one on the right. Near the foot of the beds are two light wood desks.
Ji Yang sat at one of the desks, flipping through a booklet placed on the table.
At a certain page, he held up the booklet and showed it to the others, saying, "That's the one I just saw in the cage."
Maple, the executive agent for Group D.
Nan Ke, who had been lying on her side on the bed with her neck stretched out to look at the book, suddenly rolled over and took the booklet from Ji Yang's hand.
"So, did she take the photos for you?"
Ji Yang nodded, and Nan Ke's gaze fell on the booklet, which contained company information about Un Entertainment.
The task progress bar on the panel flashed twice.
[Personal Task: A video of you, as a senior, belittling a junior has been accidentally recorded. Congratulations, you have identified the person who filmed it. Please destroy the video before it is leaked.]
Jiang Yang understood Nan Ke's mission, but what he was thinking about was why the executive agent of Group D would appear in Group A's class.
And speaking of filming, he hasn't forgotten those densely packed eyes on the heart of the cave.
Are there any monitors more suitable than these?
Huang Eryan held the cigarette between his fingers, resisting the urge to smoke, and leaned closer to look. "Could it be that they are actually in charge of different businesses within Un Entertainment?"
For example, the -3 level prison is under Roue's jurisdiction.
Jiang Yang and Ji Yang exchanged a glance. "So, Barry is in charge of the rabbit?"
“Perhaps,” Ji Yang shifted his gaze from Jiang Yang’s face back to the booklet, “I’m more curious about who put it there.”
Although they didn't stay in the dormitory for long at noon, Ji Yang, with his photographic memory, was certain that he hadn't seen this thing on the table at noon.
"The key question is, is it only in this dormitory that it's available, or are all the other dormitories also equipped with it?"
"I'll go take a look," Huang Er said, setting off to open the door and go out.
Group A suffered a number of deaths during the afternoon performance class, and almost half of the surrounding dormitories were empty.
"Where's Hu Yuan?" Jiang Yang asked Nan Ke.
Nan Ke shook his head. "When I came back, I found that the connection with him had been lost."
Three minutes later, Huang Er came in from outside, carrying a faint smell of tobacco.
Ji Yang's face darkened noticeably. Huang Er touched his nose guiltily, then said in a serious tone, "It's only here."
Ji Yang snatched the booklet from Nan Ke's hand and threw it back on the table. "Then let's change dorms."
Changing dormitories in a big way would naturally attract attention, so they planned to leave quietly after lights out.
Lights out is at 9 p.m., and there are five minutes left until then.
Huang Er had checked when he went out; there was no one in the two rooms inside.
Nan Ke gently nudged Jiang Yang with her arm, "We'll stay together from now on."
"Okay," Jiang Yang said, not minding at all.
The atmosphere between Ji Yang and Huang Er seemed a bit strange.
When the time came, Huang Er fawned over Ji Yang and lit the candles as soon as he took them out.
Ji Yang took out two sticks, gave one to Jiang Yang, and then looked at him, saying, "You two go stay in the room inside."
Huang Er slowly pulled the door open, and a cold wind rushed in, causing Jiang Yang to shiver involuntarily.
The dormitory doors on both sides of the corridor were tightly closed, with Ji Yang leading the way and Huang Er bringing up the rear.
Jiang Yang glanced back and forth between the two ends, where a seemingly endless corridor was hidden beneath the mist.
The touch of something warm brought him back to his senses.
Ji Yang stopped in front of him, turned around and whispered, "Don't be afraid, go."
Jiang Yang gripped the candle tightly with one hand, grabbed Nan Ke with the other, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
Ji Yang waited outside the door until the candlelight entered the room before he and Huang Er went inside together.
On the soft bed, Ji Yang was still wearing his security guard uniform, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After checking the doors and windows, Huang Er finally lay down. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Yang across from him said expressionlessly, "Observation room."
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Huang Er's Perspective]
"Brother, you've already been exposed, why are you still hiding things from us!"
"When was the last time I saw Brother Ji sleeping?"
"Hehe, I forgot."
The observation room can be manually turned on or off at night.
However, Ji Yang didn't really think that much about it. He was worried about being exposed before, but now he had anticipated what Huang Er was going to say.
Huang Er gossiped, "That's rare, they're letting go so easily."
"I believe him," he said. He had initially planned to drop Jiang Yang and Nan Ke off at the next door before returning.
But Jiang Yang is not a dodder flower.
Do you think something might happen next door tonight?
"It's not the neighbor who's in trouble."
What Ji Yang needs to avoid is not the booklet, but Group B.
He won't give people a chance to take advantage of him.
Therefore, some people are destined to be disappointed.
...
Huang Erqi grinded his teeth.
Ji Yang closed his eyes. "Get some sleep and replenish your energy."
In the darkness, Huang Er sighed.
Ji Yang then rolled over and said softly, "Reduce the consumption of your talent."
After exchanging a few words with Nan Ke, Jiang Yang went straight to bed.
Then, one after the other, they sat up in bed just as dawn was breaking.
"I'm so hungry..." Jiang Yang scratched his messy hair.
"Don't even think about it. You and Ji Yang weren't here yesterday at noon. Artists have to control their diet; they only get one meal a day at noon."
This means Jiang Yang will have to endure it for another morning.
Suppressing the convulsions in his stomach, the young man resignedly got out of bed.
After a night, the security guard's uniform clung to his body, the sticky feeling making him frown.
There was a knock on the door from the outside. Jiang Yang cautiously asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me," came Ji Yang's voice.
Jiang Yang stepped forward, and upon opening the door, he was greeted by a "brand new" light-colored shirt paired with dark trousers.
He stepped aside to let the person in, his face showing undisguised envy, then quickly turned dejected, "How come you still have clothes?"
Nan Ke came out of the bathroom while brushing her teeth and mumbled, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there are clothes in the bathroom, I think they're all the same."
Jiang Yang's eyes lit up. After Nan Ke finished washing up and changing his clothes, he happily went inside.
In front of the mirror, the young man, who wasn't wearing glasses, rested his hand on the edge of the pool, his face almost pressed against it.
Her cheeks, glistening with water droplets, were fair and rosy.
During the physical education class, Huang Er said he looked almost ten years older, but as the course ended, no trace of it remained on his face.
He was quite curious about what he would look like in his thirties.
Jiang Yang stepped back, his hand reaching towards the side of the pool. The moment the glasses were on, he returned to his original state.
However, the half-open collar added a touch of unruliness to his obedience, and the curve of his waist was subtly outlined under the fitted shirt.
[Due to the high number of deaths in the physical education class, the class has been closed.]
[Two courses have been suspended; we are about to enter the UnEntertainment Trial - Day 3]
Nan Ke read out the new system notification from outside the door.
...
Day three!
Just as Jiang Yang left, the loudspeaker in the corridor started playing.
"All artists, please proceed to the lobby immediately; training is about to begin."
There was a noise outside the door, and everyone walked through the corridor to the hall with doubt and confusion.
On the high platform in the center of the hall, Ali stood with three executive brokers.
Jiang Yang glanced discreetly at the Group C agents they hadn't yet met; on the surface, they seemed no different from the others.
"Based on the rankings, everyone will be regrouped."
"Keep your grade badge on and stand in your assigned group."
Jiang Yang reached into his pants pocket, and when he pulled it out again, a metal badge marked with a "B" was stuck in his palm.
It seems that working as a security guard only affected his player identity; he still has his badge. So... is he still an entertainer?
A wail erupted in the hall: "Where's my badge? My badge is gone!"
"Mine is gone too! Was it you?! Did you steal mine? I slept with you last night!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos. Ali remained silent, coldly observing the crowd.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Huang Er quickly circled around the crowd and returned, saying in a low voice, "Almost no one in Group B has a badge. It's Groups A and C who lost their badges."
So who stole the badge? The answer is obvious.
Finally, Ali slightly raised her hand, and Jiang Yang tugged at Ji Yang's sleeve. The group then turned towards the high platform.
The woman waved her hand and gave the order, "Those who violate the rules will be taken away -3."
The rule she was referring to wasn't about a thief stealing someone else's badge.
People in security uniforms rushed out from backstage; some tried to resist but were instantly swallowed up.
Ali continued, "Those without badges, line up and leave with the Group C executive brokers."
The people were reluctant to leave, so they were split into two groups, just like on the first day, with 40 people in each group, leaving exactly 80 people on the field.
Jiang Yang calculated that the mortality rate was approaching 30%.
“A few members of Group B didn’t leave,” Huang Er said.
This means that from now on, badges have truly become something that can be fought over.
"The remaining training sessions today are diction and acting classes."
"Artists who receive the Group A badge are considered to be taking diction classes, while artists who receive the Group B badge are considered to be taking acting classes."
Jiang Yang and the others then noticed that Maple, who used to wear the D group badge, had now been replaced by B.
Ji Yang A, Nan Ke A, Jiang Yang B, Huang Er B.
Nan Ke circled back and forth between Maple and Jiang Yang.
Neither Jiang Yang nor Ji Yang have player identities, so it's more suitable for him to team up with Huang Er to complete the main storyline.
Jiang Yang knowingly slapped the badge into the person's hand, "Then you go to acting class, and I'll go to dialogue class."
On stage, Roue, witnessing all of this, silently curled her lips.
