Chapter 48 Holding a Skull in Hand
Shen Shiman picked up the candy wrapper and examined it carefully. Sure enough, he found a small "." between 1 and 00...
"I knew the production team wasn't that kind!"
She grumbled unhappily.
Gu Qiming was not surprised at all, and felt that this was the basic operation of the program team: "Just be satisfied, 1.00 is better than 0.01!"
"That's true." Shen Shiman nodded in approval.
The two of them sang the same tune and criticized the program crew for being inhumane.
"It's a good love variety show, but there's not a single bit of romance or sweetness to be seen. Instead, there's some inhuman stuff. I don't know what they're trying to do."
Shen Shiman flipped through two more candy wrappers, and they still said "Thank you for the taste"...
"If this was a survival variety show, a horror variety show, or even a transformation variety show, I wouldn't mind it."
Shen Shiman: "A love variety show is doing this. Is it crazy or something? The goal is not clear. It will be a failure!"
"You're right!" Gu Qiming echoed from the side.
The more they complained, the more excited they became, and they seemed ready to become sworn brothers right there and then, and become siblings of the opposite sex.
Song Wenxing: ...
His eyes fell on Gu Qiming, and the look in his eyes, as if he was stabbing a person, was dark and deep.
"Let's get down to business first. It's almost 23:00."
Rule A says that the hotel's business hours are 19:35-23:59...
Although it didn't say what would happen to the hotel after the opening hours.
But it's always better to be cautious.
"Let's go to 104 and take a look!"
The three checked whether the gas stove in the kitchen was turned off properly and made sure there were no safety hazards before opening the door, turning off the lights and leaving the restaurant.
Deep in the dark and quiet corridor on the first floor, the room with the sign 104 opened a gap automatically with a creaking sound.
The sound of the door opening seemed particularly strange in the silence at this moment.
Gu Qiming looked at the door that was only opened a palm's width and couldn't help swallowing.
"Are we really, really going in?"
The eerie and terrifying feeling that had lingered in my heart before came back again.
"Will, will there be something dirty here?"
Shen Shiman shook his head and said with certainty: "No!"
Gu Qiming looked at her in disbelief.
"If it's too down-to-earth, the live broadcast room should be reported and banned!" she said.
Gu Qiming suddenly realized: "That makes sense!"
The three of them did not hesitate any longer, and Gu Qiming took the lead and pushed open the door of 104.
"But why am I the first one to go?"
Gu Qiming still felt a little uneasy...
Song Wenxing said seriously, "This way, if anything goes wrong, we can just turn around and run away."
Gu Qiming: …
"Don't scare Teacher Gu." Shen Shiman glared at him and said, "There's nothing in there..."
Shen Shiman directly turned on the light in Room 104, and the furnishings in the room were instantly revealed.
The director looked at the screen in bewilderment: "How did she turn on the light?"
The people in the props team shook their heads, they didn't know either.
The special effects team was also confused. They didn't mention turning on the lights...
"Then Director, do we still want to scare them now?"
The director's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "What the hell are you still trying to scare? Do you think you can still scare them now?"
In room 104, Shen Shiman was holding a skull in his hands and twisting it.
Gu Qiming was opening the urns one by one looking for clues.
Song Wenxing followed not far from him, thinking about how to find the right opportunity to kill the man quietly.
"What about her?"
Shen Shiman and the other two had searched the small house thoroughly but didn't see anyone inside.
There are no clues or anything.
Seeing that the plot was about to come to a standstill, the director had no choice but to activate Plan B and arrange for the staff to change into their uniforms and enter through the door.
"Remember to take out the room card for me!!"
The director gritted his teeth and gave instructions to the staff who were about to enter 104.
The staff member made an "ok" gesture with his hand, fixed his eyes on the card insertion position to get power, and quickly pulled out the room card.
Phew~
The room suddenly fell into darkness, and whirring sounds suddenly rang out all around.
The cold wind blew, making Gu Qiming feel cold in his heart.
"What, what's going on..."
His legs and feet moved automatically towards the middle of the room.
"Why are the lights out? Is there a power outage?"
Gu Qiming's voice was trembling. The muscular man, who was over 1.80 meters tall, looked like a helpless child at this moment. He wished he could squat down, hug himself and hide his head.
No one knew that he had been particularly afraid of the dark ever since he filmed a drama that was never broadcast.
Phew~
Gu Qiming suddenly felt a little cold on the back of his neck, as if someone was blowing an air cooler...
He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, but instead he felt something like a bamboo joint.
He pulled it lightly, and it felt like something broke. Then he vaguely saw in the darkness that he seemed to have caught a...
The finger bones are separated from the flesh!!
Aaaaaahhh!!
He screamed and threw the thing in his hand away, then jumped three feet high and hung directly on the lamp on the roof.
As luck would have it, when I looked up, I made a blurry eye contact with an unknown figure floating in the air...
Aaaaahhh!!
Gu Qiming was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. His hands that were holding the lamp loosened and he fell back onto the bed.
Shen Shiman raised her head following the scream. With her good night vision, she saw the person floating above her head at a glance.
Not only was he not afraid at all, but he was extremely interested and had an idea in his mind.
At this time, Song Wenxing quietly moved to Gu Qiming's side and patted him on the shoulder twice.
Soon, Gu Qiming heard the notification sound that he was eliminated...
Gu Qiming looked confused: ???
No, why was he eliminated?
The eliminated person will be asked a question by a mechanical voice: [Use your partner's health points to revive immediately. Do you want to use it?]
As if afraid of being rejected, the prompt voice said a few more tempting words this time [The settlement of this round of games will directly affect the living standards and sweet fund amount in the next few days. Players are requested to choose carefully]
[Achieve SS rating and pass the level, and you can also receive an additional seven-digit reward and a resource package from the program team]
[Achieve S rating and get a bonus of NT$300,000 and a share of the advertising filming]
[Achieve an A rating and receive a personal Vlog promotion package and three-year use rights for the xx car]
Gu Qiming refused without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, it's over, only a fool would want to start over again.
Moreover, he could now be 100% sure through these reward prompts that this was indeed a game set up by the program production team, and he no longer had any psychological burden.
[If customs clearance fails, 50% of the notification fee will be deducted. The small print of Article 6 on page 3 of the contract has been marked in underscores.]
[Are you sure you don't want to redeem? ]
Gu Qiming: …
Damn, his announcement fee is only 100,000 yuan!!
After deducting taxes, there is only 60,000 left!!
It’s a good thing that he doesn’t have a company, otherwise if he splits the money 50-50 with the company, he would only have 30,000 left.
After all, the company still has to deduct additional marketing and operating expenses...
Now they tell him that if he doesn’t come back to life, 50% of his advertising fee will be deducted???
Gu Qiming hesitated...
The director was pleased.
When it comes to money, he feels that Gu Qiming will not give up.
Seeing that Gu Qiming was still hesitating, the director suggested to the staff to add a countdown to increase the sense of urgency and urge him on.
[Players are requested to make a choice within five seconds. Those who exceed the time limit will be eliminated.]
【Five, four, three...】
"I..." Gu Qiming opened his mouth with a painful look on his face.
