The game host looked at Shi Xi's elegant and pretty face, thought for a moment, and felt that he had figured it out: "You must be kidding, you must have passed the level with your wits."
Think about how many people were scared by the ghost hand that suddenly stretched out from under the glass window. The special effects makeup that the program team gave to the NPC was so realistic that even a man like him who had played 800 horror games could not help but be scared. How could this gentle girl threaten the NPC? What could she use to threaten the NPC?
The film blogger uttered a voice of agreement: "It must be based on wisdom."
Shi Xi touched his chin and said, "Okay, then I passed the level by relying on my wisdom." This sounds a little more impressive.
Game anchor: “?” This answer sounds a bit weird.
Jiaming and Tang Niannian, who witnessed the whole process, saw Shi Xi's serious expression and turned their faces away, fearing that they would laugh out loud.
To the viewers who just watched the dual-perspective live broadcast and know the truth:
[Don't be fooled by her appearance, I saw her threatening the NPC with my own eyes! ]
[The back of the NPC crawling back to the secret room was full of sadness. ]
[What is a practical person? It means that when you are ruthless, you can beat up the evil NPCs. ]
[Also a ghost hunting anchor, Tiger was frightened by a hand and hid behind a girl. He scared the ghost NPC so much that he almost shut himself up. ]
Even Lu Lanlan's fans were strategically cowardly.
[Lanlan, this woman is too scary. Let's stay away from her.]
[I seemed a bit arrogant when I spoke to her before, but now I am trembling with fear. ]
"Let me reveal some information to you," Shi Xi showed the card in his hand: "It says there is a place with a travel card, and we plan to go there. Although there are no cards in the clinic No. 3, there is still a line pointing to another location. You can go with us and compete together, or you can choose to stay and decipher the clues in the clinic."
The guests looked at each other, seemingly guessing each other's thoughts. Obviously, Shi Xi was a strong competitor, and it was not easy to compete with her for the card. If they stayed to decipher the clues, they might fall behind again.
The game anchor was the first to say, "I want to follow you. Even if I can't beat you, I can learn your ideas for passing levels, which may be helpful for my future live broadcasts."
The singer also chose Shi Xi's route: "Ahem, I am a face lover and I want to walk with pretty girls."
Lu Lanlan pursed her lips: "I'll come too."
Da Hu said, "Then I don't need to think about it. If you guys are put together, where is the camera?"
The male actor who had not shown much immediately said, "I'll go with you too."
The remaining guests chose to stay and decipher the clues. The movie blogger was confident: "Although I only have one life, I am now cautious and will definitely win the first place."
The male guest Hei Zai suddenly said: "Brother Da Hu, don't be so sure. From my experience, the camera will be on us later."
Da Hu was puzzled: "Why?"
Hei Zai asked back: "Do you remember what I do?"
"You are a regular NPC in a supernatural variety show."
Hei Zai pointed at Shi Xi and said quickly: "My NPC intuition tells me that she really passed the level by threatening the NPCs here. Now the NPCs in the clinic must be full of resentment with nowhere to vent, and they are just waiting for the naive players to run into the knife edge, and we will be scared to death. The director will definitely give us shots for the sake of variety show effect! And it is very likely that he will switch to dual perspectives, using our misery to set off their coolness! This is all my blood and tears experience!"
The guests were stunned.
And why does this sound so inexplicably sad?
The movie blogger was puzzled: "Hei Zai, since you predicted that we would be 'taken care of' by the NPCs, why did you stay and suffer?"
Hei Zai dug his hands into the wall and said, "Although I am a player now, my NPC instinct makes me want to stay away from Xiao."
Shi Xi suddenly realized: "No wonder you are always several meters away from me, so far that it's hard for us to be in the same frame."
Hei Zai felt bitter: "This is just the instinct for survival."
Shi Xi looked kindly: "You have a very sharp intuition. I really hope I can go to your show and play."
Heizi choked up.
The game host discovered the key point: "Wait, didn't you just say that you relied on your wisdom to pass the level?"
Shi Xi immediately changed his words: "Yes, I passed the level with my wisdom."
Others: “…”
Live broadcast audience:
[Hei Zai was so scared hahaha, he called out to the director of Hei Zai’s variety show, “Look at Xiao Shi, please invite her to your show!”]
[The above person is so wicked, have you ever considered Hei Zai's feelings? Actually, I want to watch it too. ]
[Congratulations, Hei Zai, you have been targeted by a high-powered player for hours. ]
Shi Xi stretched and waved his hand casually: "I want to get off work now. I'm going to look for my card first. Bye."
Singer: "I want to get off work too, everyone hurry up."
Dahu laughed and teased the movie blogger: "Brother, if you try harder, you can get off work earlier."
Lu Lanlan once again doubted her life. Could she say these things in a live broadcast room? Were all these guests so carefree? Was she in a fake entertainment industry?
The guests split into two groups, and Shi Xi took several guests to the next stop - Operating Room No. 1.
As time passed, it became completely dark. Pale white lights lit up in the dark corridor and began to flicker as if they had poor contact.
There were some old hospital beds placed in the corridor, some of which were piled with miscellaneous items, and some were covered with bloodstained quilts, which looked very strange in this situation.
No one talked, and their footsteps echoed in the corridor.
At this moment, Tang Niannian suddenly pointed at the bloodstains on the wall and said in a trembling voice, "This corridor is a bit like the corridor outside my classroom. Both have a very pungent smell of blood. Maybe after I try my best to leave here, I will be back in that horrible corridor when I open my eyes, being chased by that monster covered in blood."
Her language was full of emotional tension, amplifying the character's own confusion and fear, and the fellow guests felt their scalps tingling as they listened to it.
Da Hu slid his Adam's apple nervously and said, "Sister Nian, you are really into the role, but the atmosphere is already very gloomy. Do we not need to create more atmosphere?"
Shi Xi glanced at Da Hu and said, "She's not trying to stir up trouble. She's just honestly expressing her fear. She's afraid of returning to the movie world and facing the unknown ending."
Tang Niannian's pupils trembled slightly: "Xiao Xiao, am I really just a movie character? Tell me, am I still alive at the end of the movie? If I am destined to die in that world, then is there any meaning for me to leave here?"
"In the movie, you eventually died from falling from a building," Shi Xi held her wrist, his voice calm but soothing: "The universe brought you here to give you a chance to fight your fate. Don't give up hope! I can reveal all the plots of the movie to you. If you leave here alive, you will definitely live to the end of the movie."
Da Hu's eyes widened in shock: "Xiao Shi, why are you acting too?"
Damn, their dialogue is so real, their emotions are so real, are they really acting?
[Da Hu is already confused, he is so pitiful, but I want to laugh. ]
[Were you a professional actor when you were young? ]
[Niannian and Xiaoshi’s acting is great! And they work well together. Is this really their first time acting together? ]
[Everyone was drawn into the play. The acting skills of these two are amazing! ]
The game anchor who was most immersed in the movie wiped his wet eyes and said, "It's so touching. To be honest, I've watched "Zero-One Middle School". I cried my eyes out when Nian Nian died. I didn't expect that I would be able to see a different ending in my lifetime, an ending full of hope. Nian Nian will definitely survive after returning to the movie world!"
The singer held back her tears: "We will all be able to return alive. When we leave here, I will write a song for our bravery."
"Why are you guys acting too?" Da Hu asked Shi Xi in a panic, "We are recording a variety show, right? This is an escape room, not a real intersection of time and space, right? If we fail to pass the level, we can still go home, right? I'm so pitiful, please don't lie to me anymore..."
Shi Xi saw that he was really pitiful, so he had to temporarily get out of his role: "Da Hu, we are just playing a game, don't get confused, you can think of us as the atmosphere group."
Da Hu almost cried: "This is called the atmosphere group, it scares me. Niannian and Lan Meizi are actors, I can understand their acting, but Xiaoshi and the game anchor, why do you two act so realistically? I don't understand."
Lu Lanlan: “…” You think too highly of my acting skills. I was caught off guard and was hurt.
Game anchor: "Let me clarify, I'm not acting, I'm just expressing my true feelings."
Da Hu looked at Shi Xi and said, "You are also expressing your true feelings, right?"
Shi Xi: "I'm an actor."
Da Hu: "Aren't you a ghost-hunting anchor?"
Shi Xi: "Part-time job as a ghost hunter."
Da Hu really cried this time: "How come you, as a part-time ghost hunter, made the quality of your live broadcast so good? After your live broadcast became popular, do you know how many people said that I can't compare to you? I came to this variety show to prove that the old ones are still the best. I, Brother Hu, am the best ghost hunter. You two little brats are nothing. I ended up crying because of your acting skills. It's so embarrassing."
The singer patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think positively. Although you lost face, you got an immersive gaming experience!"
Da Hu wiped his face and said, "I lost, I lost. I was the number one ghost hunter when I was young, and I am still the number one ghost hunter when I am a part-time ghost hunter."
Shi Xi’s eyes sparkled: “Okay, I’m the number one soul-searching lady.” Sounds cool!
[I really want to play games with the secret room atmosphere group. The experience is absolutely first-class! ]
[This 18th-tier variety show is actually full of talented people! I feel like it's going to be a big hit.]
[I had such good acting skills when I was young, but I never played a decent role. I feel sad. Directors, please give me a chance. 】
When he reached the corner, Brother Hu accidentally bumped into the abandoned bed next to him and let out a scream.
Shi Xi turned around: "Are you injured?"
Tiger pointed at his stomach in panic and mouthed "Save me".
When everyone looked, they saw a bloody hand stretched out from the abandoned bed and grabbed Brother Hu's stomach. The nails were black and long, and looked very dangerous.
Shi Xi was about to go over when there was a sudden noise behind her. She turned around and saw a woman with long hair and wearing a nurse's uniform standing at the ward. She had two scarred hands hanging down, holding a bloody knife.
The nurse raised her head, revealing a hideous scar on the corner of her mouth. She twisted her neck stiffly and raised the knife towards Shixi.
The other guests were so scared that they quickly retreated and became a mess. Only Tang Niannian and Jiaming remained calm. The worst was Brother Hu. He wanted to run but couldn't. His legs were so weak from fear.
Shi Xi raised the prop shovel, showing an innocent yet cruel smile, and said in a cold and evil voice: "There is a body here, I will bury it by the way, ceiling, wall, garden... Which one do you like?"
The nurse was so frightened that she fell down on the bed and even dropped her knife! She was a professional NPC in the secret room and had received professional training, but she had never seen such a malicious smile, it was like a real evil ghost!
Shi Xi gave him a loving look: "Don't stand so high, it's dangerous."
Nurse NPC: "Okay."
Shi Xi picked up the knife on the ground: "Don't play with knives, it's very dangerous."
Nurse NPC: "Okay."
Shi Xi went back with a knife to save Brother Hu, but she saw him hugging an NPC in hospital gown tightly together. The man and the "ghost" looked at her in horror.
Shi Xi tilted his head: "What are you two acting, a ghost?" Do we still need to save him?
Jiaming, who witnessed the whole process, explained to her: "Just now, this patient NPC wanted to take the opportunity to attack us, but was frightened by your impromptu performance."
Tang Niannian added: "So he hugged Brother Hu tightly."
The patient's face turned red and white, he let go of Brother Tiger in shame, silently lay back on the bed, and covered himself with the quilt.
Shi Xi saw Lu Lanlan wiping her tears and asked, "Sister Lan, why are you crying? Are you scared?"
Lu Lanlan cried and said, "I didn't cry. Your acting is not good at all. It's impossible for you to scare me to tears."
Shi Xi: “…”
"Hours," the game host's voice became more vicissitudes: "Didn't you say that you passed the level by relying on your wisdom?"
Shi Xi said confidently: "You said so."
Brother Hu, who was sitting on the ground, shook the bed and said, "Brother, hurry up and stamp two stamps for me so that I can get off work."
The patient NPC said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to see you guys anymore, okay? Can you please take her away?"
Shi Xi squatted beside the bed and said faintly, "Hand over the card and I'll say goodbye to you right away."
Pale hands were stretched out from the beds on both sides at the same time, and travel cards were obediently handed over.
[The NPC passed away peacefully. ]
【Brother Hu passed away peacefully.】
[I wasn't scared by the ghost nurse, I was scared by the little girl. She has so many part-time jobs, maybe she also worked as an NPC. She is a professional at scaring people.]
[This acting is amazing. I want to see her play a villain. ]
[This is so abominable, Lanlan's wife was actually scared to tears! Lanlan, run, let's stay away from her! ]
[That's right, she's too abominable. I suggest you go upstairs and confront her. ]
[You want me to die? ]
When leaving, the game host asked Shi Xi: "How do you know they have cards? There is no hint at all. Most players would think that cards are only hidden in designated locations, right?"
Quick! Expand your analysis, you are actually a smart player!
Shi Xi: "I don't know, I just asked casually, I didn't expect it to be true, I made a fortune."
The game host held his forehead with his hand and said, "I can't guess it. I really can't guess it."
"Hey," Tang Niannian stared at Brother Hu's back, "Brother Dahu, you've been stamped."
Brother Tiger: "No way! That NPC is so dedicated. He was so scared that he hugged me and still remembered to stamp me? Take a picture and show it to me."
Tang Niannian raised an eyebrow: "Why do I think you are so happy? You want to get off work, right?"
"No, no, absolutely not."
The actor exclaimed, pointed at the singer and said, "She has a seal on her back, too!"
The singer was shocked: "But I didn't come into contact with the NPC at all, why was it stamped?"
Shi Xi suggested: "Let's check each other."
The guests checked each other and found that the game host also had a seal on his back.
"Everyone was scared when the nurse NPC first appeared, and the scene was very chaotic for a while," Jiaming analyzed, "The seal must have been stamped at that time. Maybe there was a third NPC hiding in the corridor at that time."
Tang Niannian pursed her lips and whispered, "Maybe there really is a ghost in that corridor."
Shi Xi looked at the seals on their backs and nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe it was really done by a ghost."

Secret room atmosphere set, you deserve it!
