Chapter 51



After Shi Xi suggested to tour the strange house, Director Song nodded: "That's a solution."

Lu Xiu looked around and pushed the frame of his glasses: "Everything looks normal now, but it's just the calm before the storm. Everyone must pay attention to safety when looking for clues. If you encounter danger, please call for help. If you see any useful clues, please call for everyone to study together."

Under the encouragement of the three drama fans, the others also tried to get into character.

According to the script given to the players by the program team, the other three guests are also actors. Ji Mingxu plays the male protagonist of "The House", Liu Ziyu and Qiao Qing play supporting roles in "The House", and the NPC Atong who lives with them plays the driver and assistant.

Ji Mingxu positioned himself as a true character, and his state was not much different from before. He took out a coin from somewhere and spun it quickly between his fingertips: "Then let's look for it separately, starting from the lobby."

Everyone nodded, Shi Xi chose a direction, and turned around to look for clues.

The interior of this strange house is consistent with the outside, full of traces of time. It can be seen that it has been carefully cleaned. Many dirty marks were actually added later, such as the dark-looking old bloodstains on the wall.

There was a photography teacher hiding behind the screen in the living room. Shi Xi completely ignored his existence, observing the environment as he walked, and flipping through things from time to time.

When he came near the screen, Shi Xi noticed a bloody mark on the locker, which looked like a long and thin finger print.

She squatted down and looked at the cabinet at eye level.

The photography teacher gave a close-up of the bloody fingerprint. In his experience, after players discover such obvious clues of danger, they tend to call their companions to face it together. This little girl looks gentle and timid, so she probably won't be very brave, and she will probably choose to call her companions.

The photography teacher was ready to follow Shi Xi and move the camera. Then, he saw Shi Xi open the cabinet, and a scary-looking doll fell out!

The moment it touched the ground, the puppet's head separated from its body and rolled in front of the screen. The photography teacher looked down and saw the lifelike puppet staring at him with its two pitch-black eyes. His heart jumped into his throat and even the camera shook!

After calming down, he saw the gentle little girl calmly walk to the screen, pick up the doll's head with blood on its face, and gently stroke the doll's cheek with her slender white fingers, as if she was playing with a toy.

Shi Xi put the doll's head back into its body and checked it again. After confirming that there were no clues on it, he placed it on the counter and commented, "It's pretty cute."

Photography teacher: “???” You call this cute?

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the other side.

Shi Xi looked back and saw Liu Ziyu leaning against the wall with a pale face. There was a white line locating the body on the ground in front of him, with many knife marks on it.

Lu Xiu stood near Liu Ziyu, holding a carpet with blood stains on the back.

Shi Xi understood that it was probably because Lu Xiu lifted the carpet to check, and Liu Ziyu was frightened by the clues that were suddenly exposed.

The photography teacher hiding behind the screen looked at the tall and strong Liu Ziyu with mixed feelings. The personalities of these guests were completely different from what he had imagined!

Noticing everyone's gaze, Liu Ziyu's pale face turned red again. In order to make himself less embarrassed, he raised his voice and said, "We found an important clue, everyone come and take a look!"

Lu Xiu glanced at Liu Ziyu and said bluntly: "No need to come over. There is a body positioning line under the carpet, which means that there was a bloody incident in this wooden building. But this is the only information revealed. There is nothing worth studying."

Liu Ziyu's face turned even redder and she dug her teeth into the wall in embarrassment.

Shi Xi withdrew her gaze and continued to investigate the locker. After a while, she found a small blackboard hidden very secretly.

Shi Xi quickly read the information above, then turned to the back and saw a very important line of words. She felt it necessary to let other players come and have a look.

Shi Xi blinked and called out, "I found a clue, come and take a look."

Liu Ziyu looked at Shi Xi's back and remembered what her agent had said to her before the recording of the show. Weird Experiencer intended to keep one of the flying guests in this episode to become a permanent guest for the next season.

Considering the gap in acting skills between Shi Xi and them, she is undoubtedly the most threatening competitor.

He clenched his fingers and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, if it's not an important clue, there's no need to let everyone go. Just summarize it."

"Whatever, whatever you want." Shi Xi was already immersed in the investigation clues and didn't care at all about what he said.

Shi Xi noticed that there was a hook on the wall not far away. It should be the original location of the small blackboard. Someone deliberately hid it deep in the locker.

Shi Xi hung the small blackboard back to its original place. The other players glanced at the title on the blackboard from a distance and walked towards her. Only Liu Ziyu was still standing there.

Liu Ziyu froze for a moment and thought, even the location of the body is not an important clue. I want to see what you found that is worth everyone going there.

He walked behind the crowd and stretched his neck to read the contents on the small blackboard. He saw the four big characters "shooting plan" written on it. He quickly scanned the information and laughed lightly: "Xiaoxiao, is this the important clue you found? It's just the shooting plan of "House". There is no important information."

Shi Xi pointed at the blackboard and said, "Look at the actor column. Not only are our names on it, but Director Song's name is also on it."

Liu Ziyu spread his hands: "What does this mean?"

Lu Xiu's thoughts turned quickly, his expression solemn: "In our script, Director Song has no role, which means this is not our filming plan."

Liu Ziyu still didn't understand: "Maybe it was just written wrong, or it was just a prop used by the production team to mislead us."

When Liu Ziyu mentioned the program crew, Ji Mingxu laughed.

Although Ji Mingxu didn't say it explicitly, Liu Ziyu understood the meaning of his laughter - aren't your acting skills pretty good? Why did you mess up?

Liu Ziyu pretended not to hear it and forced herself to get back to the play: "This little detail doesn't mean anything, so what if it's not in our filming plan."

"You're too anxious," Shi Xi said as he slowly turned the blackboard over, holding a half-broken piece of chalk, and circled a sentence on the blackboard: "The details in the actor column don't explain much, but when combined with this sentence, it's different."

Lu Xiu read out the words she circled, his expression slightly changed: "Once either of the two films is finished, this cycle will end - this is the condition, or one of the conditions, to escape the cycle!"

"Two movies?" Director Song held up the script in his hand and said methodically, "The House in my hand is one of them, directed by me. The House on the blackboard is the other one, directed by someone else?"

Liu Ziyu couldn't keep up with their thoughts and was confused by them.

Although Ji Mingxu's acting skills were average, his mind worked very quickly. He showed an exaggerated expression and looked around nervously: "Let me summarize. Is there someone hiding in the dark of the small wooden building filming us? Have we unknowingly become characters in a movie directed by someone else?"

Lu Xiu: “That’s right.”

Shi Xi added: "And if there is no pay, the director might not be a human being."

The tingling feeling on his scalp disappeared instantly. Ji Mingxu raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "If he doesn't pay me, this director is really not a human being!"

Everyone: “…” What a logical genius.

Ji Mingxu pointed at the messy pile of debris on the ground and said to Shi Xi with relief: "Xiao Xiao, it's a good thing that you are good at dismantling houses, so you found such a crucial clue."

Shi Xi: "Are you praising me?"

Ji Mingxu nodded seriously: "Of course, our team needs talents like you."

Liu Ziyu could no longer listen to what they were saying. All he could think about was that Shi Xi had actually found the key clue, which made him look like a loser.

Once people get caught up in comparing themselves with others, they will become obsessed. He is very obsessed now and is determined to beat Shi Xi once.

"Back to the topic," Lu Xiu tapped the blackboard with his fingers. "According to this tip, there are two ways to end the cycle. One is when our movie is finished, and the other is when the Ghost Team's movie is finished. To make it easier to distinguish, let's call the movie shot by Ghost Team "House of No Survivors" because all of us died last time."

Shi Xi: "Then our movie is called "Back in the House Again", because we are back again."

Lu Xiu: "...Where do you get so many jokes? You may have a bright future if you switch careers and become a screenwriter."

Shi Xi was silent for a while, then said, "If I can escape the cycle, I will consider it."

Lu Xiu's eyes were firm: "We will definitely be able to escape this time."

Ji Mingxu found a camera and complained, "Friends, for me, this is 'The Room Where the Drama Happened Again', because I am in the drama again, I am jumping back and forth between the drama and reality. Before returning to the high-end players' game, I want to complain that the theme of this episode is like a nesting doll. We are filming a movie in a variety show, and there are vengeful spirits secretly filming us...ah, this room is very cold, and it's quite creepy to talk about vengeful spirits here."

When Qiao Qing heard Ji Mingxu's words, she wanted to tell him that you are actually a major factor that prevents me from getting into the role! She wants to just give up now!

Lu Xiu ignored his mumbling and brought everyone back to the point again: "In order to prevent us from escaping the cycle, the evil spirits in this room will definitely prevent us from finishing the film."

Shi Xi said, "I'm afraid we also have to stop the filming of The Wraith from being completed."

Liu Ziyu wanted to interrupt their conversation, but after thinking for a long time, he could only say: "Why? Didn't Brother Lu just say that the cycle of filming the Ghost's movie will also end?"

Shi Xi looked at him, a clean smile blooming on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice: "Don't you understand yet? We are in an antagonistic relationship with the vengeful spirits. The completion of their film means that we will have no survivors again. Of course, the cycle has ended."

"Because we will enter a new cycle again." Lu Xiu also looked at Liu Ziyu and said the final conclusion in a cold voice.

Liu Ziyu was stunned by their gazes. He felt as if he was being forcibly dragged into another real world by two hands. He truly believed that he was facing a life-and-death test. The spontaneous feeling of fear gripped his heart.

When he came to his senses, the two men had already shifted their gaze to look at the script in Director Song's hands.
