"After living long enough, I can still see NPCs asking players for help." Ji Mingxu looked at the blood letters on the ground, puzzled: "What kind of new trick is this?"

Shi Xi noticed that the ghost NPC's hands were shaking, and knew that the NPC was really scared.

Sniffing the air, Shi Xi caught a glimpse of a faint chilly breath. Without saying a word, he opened the closet door and quickly pushed aside the clothes hanging inside.

The evil spirit in the closet disappeared without a trace. Shi Xi did not see any trace of the vengeful spirit. He only saw a limp ghost NPC curled up into a ball. He buried his head, and there was a shallow mark on the exposed back of his neck. Before Shi Xi could see the shape of the mark clearly, it disappeared.

The ghost NPC's clothes were stained with blood, and there were realistic scars on his exposed skin. He was lying in the closet like this, and the scene was a bit creepy. Ji Mingxu couldn't help but take two steps back.

Shi Xi looked at Ji Mingxu and pointed at the limp NPC: "Teacher Ji, this is the standard fear. Remember this feeling. We can use it in the next scene."

Ji Mingxu: "...You actually used NPCs to conduct on-site teaching. You are worthy of it."

Lu Xiu heard their conversation, chuckled, and said to the ghost NPC: "Can you let go?"

The ghost NPC recovered and immediately let go, using his hands and feet to crawl out of the closet.

This scene was even more impactful, and Ji Mingxu retreated quickly.

Shi Xi and Lu Xiu looked at this scene without any emotion.

Shi Xi asked the ghost NPC: "Why did you write 'sos' on the ground?"

The ghost NPC's face changed drastically, and he said incoherently: "Because there is a ghost in the closet! I wanted to crawl out to scare you, but suddenly a hand pressed on my back, and I heard a man's voice. He threatened me and wouldn't let me leave the closet... So I had to write on the ground to ask for help..."

Ji Mingxu thought the NPC was following the plot, so he analyzed it carefully: "What is the plot of this variety show going to be about? Let the ghost tell us if there are other ghosts in this house? The theme of this episode is "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it?"

Liu Ziyu, who was standing by the door, said from a distance: "It could also be their conspiracy. They want to scare us in this way."

Qiao Qing nodded: "Maybe he is making up a story to fool us, and then he will take action when no one is paying attention!"

When the ghost NPC saw the evil ghost makeup on their faces, the color on his face became even less, but he knew that the two were players, so he quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and explained anxiously: "I am not fooling you, I am speaking as an NPC, there is really a ghost in this house! Please believe me!"

Ji Mingxu said perfunctorily: "Oh, I believe it."

Qiao Qing: "I believe it."

The ghost NPC wanted to cry but had no tears.

The variety show director who saw this scene through the camera was confused: "Is this plot in the script?"

"No, it was the NPC who improvised, right? His acting is so good, I almost believed it, but the last sentence is a bit fake..." The assistant director changed the subject and said, "Director, the player asked the NPC to finish the filming again."

Chief Director: “…”

What can he do? He has to finish recording even if he cries, even if he has to hire a big devil player.

"Just now, the NPC seemed quite happy after the filming was completed. I also want to get off work quickly..." Ji Mingxu added: "I mean getting off work normally, not the kind of getting off work after the filming is completed."

"If there were fewer 'ghosts' causing trouble, our filming progress wouldn't be so slow," Director Song clapped his hands, "Everyone cheer up, let's continue filming."

Ji Mingxu's eyes widened: "Director Song, you're still planning to let us shoot in the closet? Although I don't really believe what the NPC said, I can't help but be unaffected. Shooting in the closet now is still a bit..."

Director Song glanced around the room and pointed to the corner. "There are enough obstructions there, and there is a window. We can use the moonlight and move there. Everyone, take your positions, finish the shoot early and call it a day."

After the preparations were completed, Director Song turned off the lights in the utility room, and the first shot of the second scene of "Back in the House Again" officially began shooting!

Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu ran into the room and hid in the corner. They ran so fast that their breathing became rapid. Fear made them huddle together and dared not move.

The two of them stared at the closed door through the gaps between the debris.

There were heavy footsteps outside the door, and then they heard the sound of a sharp object scraping against the wall. These sounds made their nerves even more tense. The two looked at each other silently and saw the same fear in each other's eyes.

"Tap, tap..." The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the utility room.

"Squeak--" the door opened slowly, and the open window near the corner where the two were hiding was swaying in the cold wind!

Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu looked through the gap and saw Liu Ziyu, who played the evil ghost, standing at the door holding a knife.

Feeling that Lu Xiu was pushing the camera, Ji Mingxu was a little out of the role. Just as he was trying to get back into the role, he suddenly felt a gaze staring at him from behind.

Ji Mingxu tensed his chilly back and couldn't help but think of the NPC's words: There is a ghost in this house!

Ji Mingxu quickly glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw nothing unusual.

Just as he turned his head, the cold wind blew the window lattice, and the shadow on the wall swayed faintly. A long figure appeared silently, and stretched out his hand towards the two people in the corner... At this moment, another thin figure appeared on the wall, rushing towards the shadow that wanted to harm people with fangs and claws!

The shadow that wanted to harm people screamed and jumped out of the window quickly.

Zhang Qingyu came out from the wall and whispered in Shi Xi's ear, "Junior Sister, the evil spirit in this room is too alert. It's not that easy to catch it."

Shi Xi communicated with him in his heart: "Let everyone keep a close eye on it and don't let it have a chance to harm anyone."

Zhang Qingyu responded, hid in the shadows, and left silently.

Ji Mingxu moved his ears and asked Shi Xi in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Xiao Shi, did you hear any sound?"

Ji Mingxu seemed to hear Zhang Qingyu's voice... Shi Xi pursed her lips and did not answer him, but only signaled him with her eyes to look forward.

Ji Mingxu turned his head and saw Liu Ziyu holding a knife walking towards the pile of debris and was about to reach them!

Ji Mingxu: “!!!”

Outside the pile of junk, Liu Ziyu turned his head in a strange posture, and glanced around coldly, but did not notice them.

The three of them faced each other in silence across the pile of debris. After a long while, Liu Ziyu turned and left, and Ji Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a slight noise above their heads. Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu looked up at the same time and saw a doll with a scary face sliding down from the top of the cabinet. The wind blew it right towards them!

Ji Mingxu took a breath, but before he could react, Shi Xi had already calmly reached out and swiftly caught the puppet.

Shi Xi looked outside the gap and saw Liu Ziyu looking at the utility room suspiciously. Since he didn't hear any other noise, he gave up his suspicion and walked out of the room.

"Bang——" the utility room door closed again.

"Card!"

As soon as Director Song called out "Cut", Ji Mingxu lost his focus. He leaned against the wall in exhaustion and said to Shi Xi, "Xiao Shi, I was so immersed in the scene with you that I couldn't tell the difference between the scene and reality for a moment. I was thinking that if this thing fell down and someone found out, we would be doomed."

"Teacher Ji is making rapid progress." Shi Xi played with the puppet in his hand, looked up at the top of the cabinet, and raised his eyebrows.

The evil spirits in this house are not only fast-running, but also mean-spirited. Maybe they wanted to scare them with this puppet and force them to reshoot.

The evil spirit must be furious now that his prank failed.

Director Song turned on the lights and said excitedly, "Your performance just now was very good. Thank you for your hard work."

Ji Mingxu saw the puppet's face clearly and covered his eyes: "This impromptu performance is quite harmful to me!"

Shi Xi put the doll into the basket beside him: "I've hidden the doll, let's go."

When the two left the corner, Director Song and Lu Xiu were watching the footage that had just been shot.

Lu Xiu said: "The shadow on the wall seems a bit strange, it looks like two people are fighting."

"Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like it," Director Song didn't think too deeply about it and smiled, "It's good. It looks even weirder. The atmosphere is good."

Shi Xi: Well, how can it not be weird?

These two scenes were very emotionally draining for the actors, so Director Song decided, "Take a break for 20 minutes before shooting the next scene."

Ji Mingxu cheered, still thinking about the roast chicken upstairs: "Eat a midnight snack, eat a midnight snack!"

Ji Mingxu took the offerings that he had put away earlier to the kitchen and heated them up. The hot roast chicken emitted an attractive luster under the light.

He invited everyone to eat together, but no one was interested.

Liu Ziyu said: "No matter what, this is also an offering made by the ghost NPC. Teacher Ji, can you really eat it?"

"They were all bought by the program team, so what's the big deal?" Ji Mingxu tore off a chicken wing nonchalantly.

Lu Xiu smiled casually: "I heard that offerings eaten by ghosts will become bland and tasteless. You can try taking a bite. It's a good opportunity to verify whether there is a real ghost in this house."

What a horror story! Ji Mingxu couldn’t bite any more and put down the chicken wing silently.

Director Song asked with concern: "Xiao Ji, you don't want to eat anymore?"

Ji Mingxu said with a bitter face: "I don't want to eat anymore."

Director Song: "That's great, let's continue filming."

“…”

The third scene tells the story of Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu cautiously leaving the utility room and meeting the female owner Qiao Qing who got up to drink water in the living room.

Because Qiao Qing was wearing ghost makeup, Director Song used a shooting technique in which Qiao Qing's face was not shown in this scene.

To act as an ordinary person with Qiao Qing wearing ghost makeup was a real test for Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu's acting skills.

In the living room, seeing Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu looking terrified, Qiao Qing asked in surprise: "What happened to you?"

The two of them talked to Qiao Qing about the thrilling experience they had just had and asked her if she knew there was a ghost in the house.

Qiao Qing didn't believe it at all. She walked towards the kitchen with a smile and said, "Is this the new story you are going to write? You really are novelists."

Shi Xi chased after him, saying anxiously, "There really is a ghost in the house! It's a male ghost holding a kitchen knife. Before he shows up, you should quickly call Mr. Liu to leave here with us!"

Qiao Qing still didn't believe it and walked into the kitchen: "In my opinion, you should go to bed early..."

"Bang——" The locker door was suddenly pushed open and a wet head popped out!

Qiao Qing was so frightened that he forgot his words and exclaimed, "Oh my god! There really is a ghost!"

The ghost NPC raised his head, and when he saw Shi Xi, the sinister smile on his face froze.

Shi Xi felt that this face looked very familiar. She thought about it and suddenly realized: "Hei Zai?"

Shi Xi was out of character. Isn't this NPC the Hei Zai who participated in the secret room variety show with her? They finally met.

Heizi’s NPC radar exploded: “…” It’s a bad start. Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. How about I crawl back?
