Chapter 53



"Shi Xiao, are you listening to me?" Ji Mingxu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Shi Xi.

Shi Xi came back to his senses: "I heard you asking me if I had any other feelings besides wanting to eat."

"Yeah," Ji Mingxu took Director Song's script, rolled it up into a circle to act as a microphone, and handed it to Shi Xi: "Please tell me what you think."

"My feeling is," Shi Xi raised his eyes, his eyes behind the lenses were calm, "If we can all leave here alive, what will happen to Atong? Will he enter a new cycle alone or become a part of the weird house?"

There was only the pale fluorescent light of the projector in the room. It was already dark outside. It seemed that they and Atong, who was lying motionless on the ground, were the only ones left in the entire wooden building. From time to time, some strange noises could be heard in the dark corners, as if something would come out at any time.

Shi Xi's words pushed the terrifying atmosphere in the room to its peak.

Ji Mingxu tapped his forehead with the script, his voice bitter: "What a terrifying question! I now suspect that you are the permanent, immersive players are indeed monsters!"

"The question Xiao Shi raised is very interesting," Director Song took the script back from Ji Mingxu, his eyes a little excited, "I want to shoot the Easter egg part from Atong's perspective."

"Sure, it should be very exciting," Lu Xiu suggested, "Then leave Atong's 'corpse' here, and come back to shoot the easter egg after we finish shooting the main film. Xiaoji has a similar body to Atong, so he can be Atong's stand-in."

Ji Mingxu rubbed his arms and said, "What terrible things are you talking about seriously?"

Liu Ziyu was very nervous. Was this really just a game? Shi Xi was a guest, but she played better than the regular guests. How could she compete with her?

Qiao Qing was drawn into the conversation and once again got goosebumps all over his body. He asked in despair, "Can I try Atong's breath?"

Hearing this, Ji Mingxu wanted to complain to the camera again: "Dear audience friends, in every episode before, there would always be players who were fooled by Teacher Lu and Director Song and wanted to try the NPC's breath. I didn't expect that this time it was the flying guests who fooled the flying guests. Xiaoshi is really a born weird player."

Qiao Qing asked weakly, "Can we try it?"

Ji Mingxu shook his head and suggested: "You'd better not try it. The resident NPCs are very professional. You will doubt your life even more after trying it."

Atong lying on the ground: "..." As a professional weird NPC, I am professional at playing corpses, I can't laugh.

"It's okay if you don't try. Actually, I feel much better after talking to you," Qiao Qing looked at Ji Mingxu gratefully, "The acting skills of these people are so terrible. Fortunately, you are here to help me out of the play."

Ji Mingxu: "You're welcome, rookie player, we should respect each other."

Shi Xi: "I'm so hungry, let's go eat."

Those with good acting skills and those with poor acting skills were all silent because they were indeed very hungry.

Going down to the first floor, Director Song waved the script and said, "I'm going to revise the script. I'll leave dinner to you."

Lu Xiu nodded: "No problem."

The kitchen was also shabby, but it had all the necessary kitchen utensils, except for the lack of food.

"There should be food in the refrigerator and lockers," Lu Xiu glanced at the kitchen, "It's too small here to accommodate so many people. Xiao can stay and help, and the others can go find work at Director Song's place."

Director Song was concentrating on writing the script and had no time to pay attention to them. The next shot would definitely focus on the kitchen. Thinking of this, Liu Ziyu immediately said, "Brother Lu, I want to stay and help you!"

Lu Xiu didn't care: "Then you can stay too."

Ji Mingxu said: "Then I will take Qiao Qiao to see Director Song."

Lu Xiu opened the refrigerator and found it was empty. Liu Ziyu wanted to show herself in front of Lu Xiu and the camera, so she opened the locker very actively and looked for food.

The place was so small that Shi Xi couldn't help, so he just sat on a chair and watched them search.

Liu Ziyu searched two lockers in a row and only found some miscellaneous items. He couldn't help but frowned.

"The production crew won't be so cruel as to not leave any food for us, right? How can we continue the show on an empty stomach?"

He complained as he opened the third locker, but before it was fully opened, a bloody hand suddenly stretched out from inside and grabbed his wrist tightly!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!” Liu Ziyu was so scared that he was shaking all over. He sat down on the floor and yelled incoherently: “Let me go… Let go!”

The bloody hand felt cold to the touch, and its nails were long and black. Blood flowed down the pale skin, staining Liu Ziyu's arm red.

Liu Ziyu was shaking with fear. He had no strength left in his hands. He pulled several times but failed to break free. His eyes were red and he was about to cry.

Just then, he saw a beautiful hand reaching out from the side and holding the bloody hand.

Liu Ziyu turned her head and saw Shi Xi squatting beside him, her long black hair hanging on her shoulders, the chain of her glasses swaying gently, her profile was incredibly beautiful, and her expression was calm as usual, as if she was holding just an ordinary hand.

Shi Xi didn't look at him, but asked across the cupboard: "Friend, can you cook? How is your cooking skill?"

The NPC hiding in the closet: “???” Friend, why are you asking this?

The NPC didn't want to talk to her and wanted to escape quickly. After letting go of Liu Ziyu's wrist, he struggled to break free from Shi Xi's hand.

Shi Xi opened the cupboard, but there was no trace of the "ghost". The cupboard was completely empty except for a hole pointing downwards.

Shi Xi looked inside. The cave was dark and winding, and she didn't know where it led to. She shouted down, "Friend, don't go."

Lu Xiu thought she was going to chase after him, so he quickly stopped her: “Teacher Shi, forget it, I’ll cook.”

When Liu Ziyu was just grabbed by the ghost NPC, Lu Xiu wanted to go over to help, but Shi Xi was one step ahead of him. He thought Shi Xi was going to help Liu Ziyu break free from the shackles, but he didn't expect it to develop like this... It can be said that his personal style is extremely strong.

Liu Ziyu was stunned the whole time, with exclamation marks all over his face. He had seen brave people before, but he had never seen anyone brave enough to let the ghost NPC stay to cook for him.

Ji Mingxu rushed over when he heard the noise and stood at the kitchen door. He glanced at Liu Ziyu and Shi Xi, whose hands were covered in blood, and asked, "What happened? Did a ghost appear?"

Lu Xiu said succinctly: "To be precise, the ghost appeared and was scared away by Xiaoshi."

"Huh?" Ji Mingxu laughed so hard that he leaned against the wall: "Little boy, you still have this skill?"

Shi Xi turned on the faucet and slowly washed the blood off his hands, saying innocently, "I just asked it if it could cook."

Ji Mingxu laughed even louder: "Friends, I have seen the future of the NPCs. Here comes someone who is even more of a thorn than Actor Lu. It's really lively here, and Director Song doesn't have much to do, so I'll just watch you cook."

After searching the entire kitchen, they finally found a basket of fresh ingredients.

Lu Xiu was cooking and Shi Xi was helping him. The frightened Liu Ziyu sat on a chair to adjust his mood.

Ji Mingxu leaned against the kitchen door and said to the camera not far away: "Dear viewers, we are actually a variety show for eating, and the cooking part is our highlight. Look at our Lu Ge's professional posture, you can tell at a glance that he is very good at cooking."

Ji Mingxu licked his lips: "Brother Lu, what delicious food are you going to make?"

Lu Xiu didn't even turn his head back: "Cooking noodles with green vegetables, this is all I know how to do."

Ji Mingxu was silent for a moment, and concluded: "It would be better if Teacher Xiao caught an NPC to cook. I don't understand why you need Xiao to help you cook vegetable noodles."

It was indeed a bit too pitiful to just eat vegetables and boiled noodles, but there happened to be tomatoes and eggs, so Shi Xi said he could make fried tomato and eggs for everyone.

Ji Mingxu raised both hands in agreement: "That's great, that's great. I don't want to just eat vegetables and boiled noodles. Do you think the conditions are not tough enough?"

As the tomatoes were put into the pot, a sizzling sound was heard and a look of pain flashed across Shi Xi's face. She stir-fried the tomatoes with a spatula, but couldn't help but cover her head.

Everyone noticed her abnormality, and Ji Mingxu asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"

"I remembered some fragments of memory," Shi Xi looked at the tomatoes in the pot, his pupils trembling slightly: "I also made scrambled eggs with tomatoes here in my previous life. Until this moment, I finally felt that I had entered a cycle."

Ji Mingxu lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Being able to taste the scrambled eggs with tomatoes you made again may be the only thing to be thankful for after entering the cycle."

Lu Xiu turned around and asked him, "Isn't it worth celebrating that you can eat my vegetable noodles again?"

Ji Mingxu raised his head and smiled brightly: "If we can leave alive, please cook me a meal when we meet somewhere else. I will be grateful even if it is just boiled noodles."

Liu Ziyu, the only person who was not in the play, once again doubted his life. Why could they handle Shi Xi's unexpected addition of drama so smoothly? Even Ji Mingxu handled it very naturally. He almost suspected that Ji Mingxu was playing the pig to eat the tiger!

Ji Mingxu noticed his gaze and looked at him sideways, still with the same nonchalant look as before: "Xiao Liu, are you feeling better?"

Liu Ziyu nodded, but what she was thinking was: If I continue recording with you guys, I may not get better.

There was only vegetable noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes for dinner. Looking at the dishes on the table, both those who were immersed in the role and those who were not were reminded of the luxurious dinner they saw on the way here, and everyone showed aggrieved eyes.

"Although the conditions are tough, I still want to maintain my original quality of life. Let's light a candle," Ji Mingxu lit two white candles and stood on the dining table: "Is there an atmosphere for a candlelight dinner?"

A gust of cold wind blew, and the shadows of the tableware swayed faintly with the candlelight. A strange cry was heard outside the house, and a creepy shutter sound was heard in the house, as if someone was peeping in the dark, which made people feel creepy.

Shi Xi glanced at the pale candles and said bluntly, "It has the atmosphere of a memorial service."
