Chapter 14



Many staff members of the program crew saw from the surveillance camera the scene where Jiaming gave the amulet to Tang Niannian, and they firmly believed that the amulet could ward off evil spirits.

After Shi Xi recommended Wuyou Temple, they all memorized the address carefully, thinking that after finishing their work, they would go to the Taoist temple to pray for safety. They surrounded Shi Xi and asked about the temple's business hours and whether there were any precautions...

"Send a representative to collect questions and ask Xiaoshi in the group. Don't swarm around her. Now get to work!" The director said, and everyone could only disperse reluctantly.

Shi Xi also planned to withdraw, but was stopped by the director.

"Shi Xiao and Jia Ming stay for a while."

Tang Niannian said goodbye to the two of them: "I'm leaving first, let's have dinner together another day!"

Shi Xi smiled at her: "I hope that when we meet again, we can both receive good news."

There were only three people left in the conference room. The director unscrewed the thermos and drank a sip of water. He pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Xiao, the owner of the recording venue is my friend. After this incident, he is worried about continuing the business. Can the Taoist priest at Wuyou Temple exorcise evil spirits? I want to ask him for help."

Shi Xi asked: "Is there any reward?"

"Yes," the director said, "As long as the problem can be solved, the remuneration is not a problem."

"I see. I'll ask for help."

Director: "Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Shi Xi called Zhang Qingxuan, but the call didn't go through, so he sent a message explaining the whole story and asked him to see the reply.

The director also gave them a first-place prize of 10,000 yuan each, as well as a year-round escape room pass.

Shi Xi shook the card and curled the corners of his lips: "In order not to waste this card, I will definitely help the female ghost move."

Shi Xi, holding the wig in his hand and the card in his pocket, went home happily to have a rest.

In the evening, the popularity of this variety show not only did not decrease, but became even higher.

The old topic was replaced by a new one, and a topic with Shi Xi's name was clearly ranked fifth on the hot search list.

#I am a high-energy player of escape room#

This topic is cool, interesting and high-energy!

Shi Xi knew with her knees that netizens must have counted her wonderful performances in the variety show, such as her fearlessness when facing evil spirits and her calmness and composure when exposing the undercover agent.

Shi Xi happily clicked on it, and saw——

Well-known funny blogger: [How big is the disparity among escape room players? Some are 'humiliated' by NPCs, while others 'humiliate' NPCs. ]

There were already 150,000 likes. When Shi Xi saw the word "humiliation", he felt something was not good.

But she opened the video anyway.

To the sound of eerie music, four NPCs in the escape room appeared on the screen one by one. They played the roles of a doctor, a nurse and a patient respectively. Each of them had a creepy smile on their face, giving the impression of a neurotic evil spirit.

Video narration: [This is the evil ghost F4 of Siren Hospital. No player can escape unscathed once they enter their sight. ]

[Fear, screaming, crying, begging for mercy——]

Every time a word pops up in the video, it is accompanied by a scene where the guests are scared away by the evil F4.

[They are the rulers of Siren Hospital, but... after that player appeared, everything can't go back! ]

The style of the video suddenly changes, and Shi Xi appears arrogantly carrying a shovel.

[Threat, intimidation, teasing, ignoring——]

The evil ghost F4 who once scared the shit out of the players was frightened by Shi Xi and trembled in fear. He sat in front of the computer and filled in the password obediently. He covered himself with a blanket with a peaceful look on his face and was fooled around...

[Yes, the Siren Hospital evil ghost F4 is ruled by this player! ]

At the end of the video, Shi Xi carried a shovel and covered the two NPCs who were pretending to be dead with a blanket.

Netizens' impressions:

[Arrogant, too arrogant. ]

[Player Hour: As long as they are in my sight, no NPC will be spared. ]

[The evil ghost F4 rules Siren Hospital, and they will rule you all when they are young, Touer! ]

[What kind of stupid video is this? I can’t share it anymore, hahaha. This artist can make a living with his looks, but he insists on relying on stupid videos? ]

Some people's focus has strayed far away.

[I've been browsing the topics related to this variety show for a whole day. I just want a wig link. The wig the player wore when she was young is so natural. You can't tell she's bald at all. I really need it if I'm poor with a low hairline.]

[What? Is she bald? Where can I see it? ]

[The live broadcast of pointing the way to the abandoned temple to explore the ghosts and the video of the little wizard changing clothes on a certain audio platform, carrying a candied haws to drive away ghosts is also a famous scene of childhood sand sculpture! ]

Shi Xi quietly withdrew from the topic.

Then go and watch the excitement of the program crew.

Some netizens asked on the official account of the variety show who was the planner of this episode. The creative idea at the beginning was great, and it felt like entering an infinite flow game. The director replied that it was Shi Xi's idea, and then netizens caught it and asked him to respond to the real reason for the live broadcast accident.

Shi Xi was enjoying the fun and commented, "Everyone, help the director think of a solution."

【Seize the hour of surfing the Internet! I think there was a device failure during the live broadcast, and the incredible pictures you saw were caused by the failure. 】

[The director can respond that all of this is the result of careful planning by the program team. ]

[Is it magnetic field chaos or radio wave interference? The specific cause still needs to be studied by experts. Let us go into science together! ]

[There is only one truth, the player is actually a magician, and what everyone sees is just a perfect magic show~]

Netizens' thoughts are divergent and becoming more and more ridiculous. It seems that it doesn't matter what the truth is. This live broadcast accident, like the unexplainable metaphysical events in history, has been listed as one of the N unsolved mysteries in the entertainment industry.

The director was so happy that he sent a private message to Shi Xi: "Shi Xi, your idea is so smart. It really helped the production team! I owe you another favor!"

Shi Xi, who was just there to join in the fun, said: "I'm also happy to be able to help the production team."

System: [You are beginning to have my style. ]

Shi Xi: "Who are you calling immoral?"

【……】

By late at night, everyone had already discussed Shixi's magic shovel and Jiaming's amulet from the unsolved mysteries, believing that both of them were magical tools to drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

At this point, this variety show has completely gone viral, and Shi Xi has attracted a large number of fans with his unique high-energy gameplay and acting skills.

Seeing his fans increasing rapidly, Shi Xi felt like he was about to become extremely popular.

The system is very proud: [I told you a long time ago, I will definitely make you reach the pinnacle of life! ]

Shi Xi also found it a little unbelievable: "Although the process is unethical, the effect is surprisingly reliable."

[I am reliable~ New tasks are coming! 】

【New mission: Save the player;

Details: During the recording of the escape room variety show, the evil spirit in the abandoned hospital marked several players with a blood seal. At midnight, the players returned to the hospital again in their sleep;

Punishment: No more laughter (one week);

Reward: Spell Talent +10%. 】

"The female ghost called these players back to the abandoned hospital. The game has really been restarted," Shi Xi paused, "Why is the punishment still the same? How much do you want me to stop laughing?"

[This is not important, I believe you can complete this task perfectly! ]

"Jiaming...my new friend..."

There was a voice whispering in his ear. Jiaming's brows were furrowed in his sleep and his body was covered in cold sweat. His mind had regained clarity. He wanted to wake up but couldn't. It felt like a heavy piece of ice was pressing on his body, cold and heavy.

A cold hand slowly grasped his neck, sharp nails tracing over the blood vessels.

"Finally I found you...Come and play with me...Come back to the hospital with me..."

His neck was suddenly strangled and Jiaming felt suffocated. He woke up screaming. He gasped violently and looked around in a daze. He found that he was not in his bedroom at home, but in a familiar and terrifying place.

Abandoned hospital.

The feeling of fear was like a group of tiny ants crawling up from the soles of my feet.

"Jia Ming?" Jia Ming's heart almost stopped when he was called out of the blue. He mustered up the courage to look back and saw that it was Brother Hu who called him.

Brother Hu was even more panicked than him, grabbing the hem of his pajamas with both hands: "Are you the real Jiaming? You are not a transformed one, are you? How about we exchange a secret code, who is the number one ghost detector?"

Jiaming: “…hours.”

"That's right, that's right." Brother Hu felt relieved.

Soon, two more people appeared in the hospital lobby—the actor and Lu Lanlan, both with expressions of fear and panic on their faces.

"Why are we back again?" Brother Hu speculated in a low voice: "Could it be that we were so scared that we sleepwalked here together?"

Jiaming looked at everyone and said, "Except Lu Lanlan, we have all been stamped with the blood seal."

Lu Lanlan looked very weak, with big dark circles under her eyes: "I was covered too. Because the location is secret, I only found it last night."

Actor: "No wonder you didn't go to the meeting during the day. You must have been scared."

"Then in this case, we are all here because we were marked with the death mark..." Jiaming took a deep breath: "Don't think too much, let's run!"

"I'm afraid you can't leave." The evil laughter of the female ghost was heard in the hospital.

Lu Lanlan screamed: "Jia Ming, she's behind you!"

For some reason, this time they all saw the ghost clearly. She had long hair and a pair of eyes that were wide open, as if they could never close. What was even more bizarre was that her hair kept falling down, and when it fell to the ground, it began to crawl around.

The horror of facing the evil spirit was indescribable. Everyone present was caught in fear and confusion, unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

"Everyone is here, great," the ghost girl put her hands on Jiaming's neck, laughed nervously, and said excitedly, "Let's continue playing games."

Brother Hu was in tears: "Sister Gui, we have no grudge against you. If you hate us for offending you, then we will apologize to you and you should forgive us!"

Brother Hu is regretting now. If he had known that something really bad would happen, he should have put everything aside and gone to Wuyou Temple to ask for a talisman!

Jiaming closed his eyes, signaling himself to calm down: "You can make any requests you want, such as sweeping the graves, burning incense and paper, we can do it, as long as you let us go."

"I don't want any of these, I just want to play games," the ghost girl floated up into the air and looked down at everyone, her face extremely cold-blooded: "You can run now, but you will die if I catch you."

"Playing games, huh? Okay," the hospital door was kicked open, and Shi Xi walked into the hall leisurely carrying a shovel, with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Add me in."

The ghost's face suddenly changed, her eyes were filled with horror: "I didn't invite you at all! How come you appeared in my nightmare!!!"

"What does that matter?" Shi Xi said confidently, "I came here uninvited."

Ghost: Da-meh-meh!!
