Everyone's eyes turned to the male team member, noticing that he didn't look well.
"Um, he's a bit timid, can he take over this single-task mission?"
The male team leader sighed and took out his pager to ask the production team for instructions.
But as expected, he was refused: "No, everyone has their own identity card, and you can't substitute for someone else."
The viewers in the live stream felt sorry for him.
"This production team is so inhumane! They forced someone who was scared to go down the well. What if they fell from such a height?"
"Yeah, my brother's face turned pale. What's wrong with taking his place? As long as the mission is completed, it's fine, right?"
"You fans have gone too far. Can't you respect the rules of the game? This is the identity card he drew himself."
After a few seconds of stalemate, the male team member took a few deep breaths and stepped forward.
"Give me the jade pendant, I'm going down."
Upon hearing this, the team leader patted him on the shoulder with some concern and asked, "Are you sure you can handle it? Don't push yourself."
The male team member nodded and said firmly, "Don't worry about me. It's more important to find Sister Ruoruo now."
The male team leader nodded and handed the jade pendant to him.
Meanwhile, the surrounding fog thickened, and a fierce wind howled, as if the ghosts of Xiuzhi were raging.
"Haven't you found anything yet? Xiuzhi is very resentful. In another hour it will be midnight, and that will be when her resentment is at its strongest. When that time comes, the entire Xue family will become the target of her revenge."
"I have a mirror here that can temporarily prevent that female ghost from entering the Xue residence..."
The words had barely left his mouth when the eerie storm suddenly stopped, and the thick fog dissipated somewhat.
A crescent moon appeared in the sky, and it was red!
"We can't delay any longer. I'm leaving the search for Sister Ruoruo to you. I'm going now."
After the boy band member finished speaking, he tucked the jade pendant into his pocket and climbed down the wooden ladder.
The audience's attention was also shifted to the well.
The dry well was clearly empty of water, yet it made a dripping sound, which instilled fear in people.
After climbing down a certain distance, the boy band member realized that he was the only living person in the dry well, and his legs began to tremble.
With a tremor, he couldn't help but step into the void, and he cried out in alarm, instinctively gripping the wooden rope ladder tightly.
This scene, witnessed by fans in the live stream, left them speechless with fear.
"Oh my god, thank goodness I reacted quickly. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if I had fallen. The production team is really careless. They didn't provide any safety measures at all."
"I was so scared I didn't dare to look, but thankfully I managed to grab it."
Hearing the shouts, the male team members above instinctively moved closer to the well opening and shouted to the team members below, "What happened? Are you alright?"
After the boy band members, still hanging on the ladder, steadied themselves, they gasped for breath, realizing their backs were definitely soaked with sweat.
"I'm fine, I just slipped!"
After the boy band member finished speaking, he continued climbing down the wooden ladder. Although it should have only taken a short while to reach the bottom, it took him a minute or two to climb down.
At this moment, a faint candlelight shone from the bottom of the well. After landing, the boy band members looked towards the candlelight and were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
There was a new space on the other side of the well wall, where a coffin was placed, and white candles were burning around it.
Is this for him?
The boy band members swallowed hard, suppressing their fear as they walked towards that direction.
"Now, I can sense Xiuzhi's ghostly energy fluctuations. What you need to do now is to reduce her resentment."
After a moment's internal struggle, the boy band member walked over and placed his hand on the coffin.
After mentally counting down three, two, one, the subordinate slowly pushed the coffin with force.
The viewers in the live stream were on tenterhooks, fearing that there might be someone lying in the coffin.
With a whoosh, the door was pushed open, revealing that it was completely empty.
The boy band members breathed a sigh of relief and went to lie down in the coffin.
Just as he lay down, the wooden coffin, which had been completely still, suddenly closed.
The audience was startled when they saw the tightly closed coffin.
"Oh my god, that was terrifying! I wish I hadn't come in. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight."
"I saw that no one was saying a word. I need to recommend it to my friends. I can't be the only one who gets scared."
Suddenly, Su Ping heard a loosening sound coming from the door on the right.
That looks like the bridal chamber of Miss Xue Rongmei and Ziqiu from the Xue family.
Tu Hengchuan also heard the noise. After exchanging a glance with Su Ping, he said, "It looks like the door over there is open. Let's go take a look."
The remaining people glanced at the bottom of the well and then followed Su Ping and the others in that direction.
One of the boy band members walked halfway and realized that the leader hadn't followed. He looked back in confusion and found that the leader was still standing there.
"Captain? Don't worry too much, let's look for other clues first."
The team leader smiled and looked at the dry well, saying, "You guys go first, I'll stay here with him."
The boy band members knew that their leader had a good relationship with him, so they didn't say anything more and turned to follow Su Ping and the others.
When the group arrived at the bridal chamber, they found that the door was indeed open, and wide open, as if it knew they would come.
When the group went inside, they discovered a strange array drawn on the ground.
"Master, the room has been arranged according to your requirements. When shall we begin?"
“Very good, no rush. Although midnight is when she is most resentful, it is also when she is least vigilant. As soon as she enters this room, we will activate the formation.”
So, is this formation used to trap Xiuzhi's ghost?
Su Ping looked over and saw that the formation diagram showed the names of the identity cards they had drawn, and one of them was a master.
So, was that master also among this group of players?
At the same time, she also noticed that something on the ground seemed to be missing.
"There's no incense or paper money!"
It seems we need to replenish the items on the ground before we can activate the formation.
"Let's split up and search."
After Tu Hengchuan finished speaking, he grabbed Su Ping's arm and walked outside. Seeing this, some of the others stayed in the bridal chamber, while the rest followed Su Ping and the others into the courtyard.
"Go and look around the woodshed. Time is running out. Whether you find it or not, come back to the bridal chamber later."
After Tu Hengchuan finished speaking, he pulled Su Ping and walked towards Xiuzhi's room again.
Su Ping was startled to realize that the two of them were holding hands in front of the fans in the live broadcast room, and quickly pulled away.
Are you kidding me? Wouldn't she be trending on social media tomorrow because of all her fans' criticism?
