As a mature NPC, Hei Zai knew that he should bravely crawl out and use his best skills to scare the shit out of these players.

Hei Zai glanced at Shi Xi, and after recalling the famous scenes in which Shi Xi killed NPCs in escape room variety shows... he felt that he didn't want to be brave.

"Xiao Shi is actually out of character, how rare." Ji Mingxu pointed at Hei Zai who looked troubled and asked Shi Xi: "Is this NPC an acquaintance of yours?"

Shi Xi said: "I was once involved in a space-time intersection by a mysterious force while doing a ghost-hunting live broadcast. The ghost looked very similar to one of my teammates at the time, and I'm not sure if it was him."

Ji Mingxu: "So you are still in the play, what kind of complicated setting is this?"

Shi Xi's words once again brought back Hei Zai's memory of the secret room variety show. He swallowed nervously and finally made up his mind - he wanted to crawl back!

Knowing when to retreat is also a quality that a mature NPC should possess!

Heizi supported himself on the ground with both hands and silently retreated back to the locker, leaving several winding bloodstains on the ground with his fingers.

Everyone except Shi Xi showed an expression of disbelief.

Qiao Qing had just been frightened, and now she was still in shock. She lowered her voice and asked Ji Mingxu, "Teacher Ji, what is this operation? Why are you crawling back?"

"How should I put it? This is the first time I've encountered such a situation after recording this program for so long," Ji Mingxu looked at Shi Xi and touched his chin, "Shi Xi's lethality is too great."

"I didn't do anything just now." Shi Xi said innocently. She took two steps towards the locker, bent down and held Hei Zai's wrist, her peach blossom eyes curved: "But I'm going to do something now."

Heizi shivered and quickly retreated into the secret passage. Even the devil couldn't chase him into the secret passage. At this moment, Heizi felt a hand holding his ankle. He thought it was a colleague hiding in the secret passage urging him to climb up quickly. He lowered his head and said, "Xiao Ming, don't rush me. I'm busy running away!"

No one responded, but Heizi felt the hand holding his ankle tugging downwards, trying to drag him down! Fortunately, Shi Xi was holding him, so he didn't fall.

That was too dangerous. Hei Zai cursed, "Xiao Ming, why are you pulling me? What if I fall?"

Still no one answered, but Hei Zai heard the assistant director's voice through the headset: "Hei Zai, who are you talking to? Xiao Ming just left, and now you are the only one in the secret passage."

Who was holding his ankle now? Hei Zai recalled the conversation he had heard through the public channel before. The colleague in charge of the utility room said that there was a ghost in this room. At that time, he thought it was just a colleague's improvisation, but now... He felt that the hand holding him was unusually cold, not like a living person.

Hei Zai's heart was beating fast, and he quickly stretched out his other hand to Shi Xi, saying in a trembling voice: "Shi Xi, I want to take the initiative to finish the filming!"

Everyone was shocked again.

Ji Mingxu: "Wow, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Liu Ziyu held her forehead with her hand: "Are you that afraid of her?"

“Yes!” Hei Zai was very anxious: “Xiao Shi, please take me out to finish the filming, please!”

Liu Ziyu was desperate. This was the player that the NPCs actively asked for the final shot upon seeing. What could he use to compete with her?

Shi Xi didn't pay any attention to Liu Ziyu at all. She saw Hei Zai's panicked eyes, and combined with what he had just said, she roughly guessed what had happened.

His gaze fell into the depths of the dark passage, and Shi Xi said in a cold voice: "Since you are holding on to your 'colleague' and refuse to leave, just let him finish the filming together."

When the ghost hiding in the secret passage heard these words, he immediately let go of Hei Zai and ran away.

Shi Xi asked Ji Mingxu to lend a hand and pulled up Heizi, who was so scared that his legs were weak.

After leaving the cupboard, Hei Zai's pounding heart finally settled down a little. He said to Shi Xi in a trembling voice, "Little boy, I think a ghost grabbed my ankle just now."

Shi Xi: "Aren't you wearing a lucky charm?"

"I forgot to take it out when I was washing clothes, and it got damaged. I didn't have time to ask for a new one," Hei Zai said, "I didn't expect that I would get infected as soon as I took it off."

"..." Shi Xi stamped the completion stamp on his hand: "Go to a crowded place to rest, you will be able to get off work soon."

When Hei Zai heard this, he felt a little more at ease.

As long as you are here, nothing can go wrong.

Shi Xi's hands were stained with blood plasma again. As she washed her hands, she said, "Three 'ghosts' have already been killed. If we and the grudges are in a mirror image relationship, then there should be three more 'ghosts' that have not appeared yet."

Ji Mingxu nodded: "At present, they haven't successfully filmed a single scene. As long as we can finish the movie before them, we will win."

After Qiao Qing adjusted his mood, they took their positions and started shooting again from the point where Hei Zai had disrupted the scene.

This time there was no NPC interference, so the filming went particularly smoothly, and the plot came to a turning point -

In order to calm Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu, Qiao Qing told them that there was a talisman for safety in his room and asked them to go with him to get it.

Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu had no doubts and followed Qiao Qing towards her room.

As they walked, Shi Xi suddenly noticed that Qiao Qing's shadow was a little strange, as if it had two heads!

She was frightened and pulled Ji Mingxu's sleeve, motioning him to look at the ground.

The two looked at each other, suppressed the tsunami-like fear in their hearts, and quietly retreated.

Qiao Qing stopped at this moment and laughed softly: "You found me."

Qiao Qing prepared herself for the moment and transformed into a ghost. After seeing the scene behind Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu, her expression completely fell and she screamed, "Ghost, ghost is coming again!"

According to the plot, Liu Ziyu had been quietly following behind Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu. He thought Qiao Qing was frightened by him, so he quickly raised his head and said, "Look carefully, it's me."

"Your acting skills aren't good enough to make me scream!" Qiao Qing complained, then raised her voice and shouted, "The ghost is behind you!"

Everyone looked back and saw a ghost NPC holding a knife standing silently behind Liu Ziyu, and another NPC standing at the stairs with a camera in his hand.

Liu Ziyu stepped back, his face pale: "They came prepared this time, they won't be scared by me again."

Shi Xi smiled and walked forward: "Then I will go and challenge you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two ghost NPCs suddenly turned around and ran away with the cameras in their hands, running very fast.

"They weren't scared away by me," Shi Xi explained calmly, "We had more people, so they didn't dare to rush in. They just ran away after filming. Anyway, their script didn't need to be elaborately crafted, and they were in a hurry to catch up with our progress."

Everyone: “…”

Ji Mingxu shook his head sympathetically: "It's strange that the NPC is so cowardly. Why do I feel a little sad?"

Director Song frowned: "It's okay to let them have a scene, but I'm afraid they will keep coming out to make trouble and deliberately delay our progress."

Shi Xi thought without hesitation: "If they come again, we will deal with them first, and then shoot slowly."

Director Song nodded in agreement: "Whoever comes to interfere with us again will be dealt with first."

Liu Ziyu looked at Ji Mingxu and asked quietly, "Brother Ji, are we still recording a variety show like this? It seems like we are focusing on filming a movie now."

Ji Mingxu: "Well, forget it."

The variety show's chief director was sweating profusely at this moment: "Who originally proposed to make this episode a movie theme?"

Assistant Director: “It’s your idea.”

The director was silent.

The players were discussing continuing the filming when the phone in the living room suddenly rang, and the shrill ringtone kept repeating.

The director flipped through the script and once again suspected that there was something wrong with his memory: "They added a call segment, how come I didn't know about it?"

"No," the assistant director thought for a moment, his face instantly turned pale: "The landline in this room is broken, how can the call come in?!"

Hei Zai, who had just come back from removing his makeup, was also shocked when he heard this conversation: "Director, I told you there's something wrong with this house. I really was grabbed by a ghost on my leg. It wasn't an illusion, and it wasn't a show effect!"

The NPC who had encountered evil in the closet huddled up and said aggrievedly: "I've said it before, this is really not a show effect."

"Zizi..." After a burst of noise, a few black and white lines flashed on the screen in front of the director, as if it was interfered with by some kind of interference.

Hei Zai shuddered again, his voice hoarse: "Look, even the equipment has failed, you still don't believe it? Your wooden building is very weird, this call... maybe it was from a ghost."

The phone in the living room was still ringing like a life-threatening call. The director's back was covered in cold sweat. "Filming paused. Quickly announce that everyone should not answer this call!"

"Okay!" The assistant director picked up the microphone and glanced at the monitor. The messy wires on it had disappeared. He saw Shi Xi standing in front of the TV cabinet and answered the phone calmly.

"Welcome to shoot here." A strange laughing voice came through the receiver, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

This time everyone had to believe that the house was haunted!

The entire production crew fell into silent panic, and even the players didn't dare to speak.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Shi Xi nervously.

Please, be nice and calm the ghost down! Everyone thought so.

"Do you call this welcome?" Shi Xi opened his mouth and said, "Do you know that working the night shift is very hard? Do you know that every shoot takes a lot of effort from the director and the actors? You interrupted our work time and time again. This behavior is not welcome, it's causing trouble."

"If you really want to welcome us, wait until we get off work, ok?"

"Oh my god, we're screwed!" The director was so shocked that his jaw dropped and he almost wanted to cry.

The living room fell into an eerie silence. After a while, the phone ghost, who was confused by Shi Xi's questioning, replied, "Oh, OK."

Shi Xi hung up the phone, raised his eyelashes casually, and said to Director Song: "It's solved, we can continue filming."

Chief Director: “???” Is this even possible?

The assistant director said blankly, "Did Shi Xi treat the real ghost as a nuisance that interfered with the filming and solved it? She is indeed a great player. Even if a real ghost sneaked into the game, she is still at the top of the food chain."
