Chapter 67
Time seemed to stand still at this second.
In the room that was suddenly illuminated, the staff on the opposite side and the guests standing on this side looked at each other under the light.
It's like a world famous painting captured in slow motion.
The comments in the live broadcast room paused for two seconds, and then increased tenfold.
[Hahahahahahahaha, the staff and director must be confused now]
[Director, have you not communicated with Zhang Shanfeng? Hahaha, Su Xingyao has a layer in her bag! ]
[I was a little scared the last second, but now I am laughing so hard that I am crowing. This is basically a comedy variety show.]
[Why do some guests bring their own light sources when they appear on variety shows? Hahahaha, Su Xingyao is just too cute]
[Hahaha, now I want to know where Su Xingyao got this lamp from]
It’s not just the audience that wants to know.
The director sitting in front of the monitor also wants to know very much now.
Where on earth did this light come from!!!
"Put away the lamp in Su Xingyao's hand!"
When the director collapsed, the staff member who was playing the ghost in the room obviously hadn't reacted to what was happening. His hand was still on the blower, blowing cool air continuously onto Luo Yiyuan's face.
Luo Yiyuan, who was originally scared to death, immediately got up from the ground after seeing everything clearly under the light, exaggeratedly rolled up his sleeves, and ran towards the blower.
"Okay!! I was wondering where this weird cold wind came from!! Turns out you guys are deliberately doing something to scare me!"
The frightened Luo Yiyuan directly tore off the plug of the blower.
Then, as if he was still not satisfied, he threw the thread end to the ground.
After the power was turned off, the gloomy wind in the room disappeared immediately.
After Luo Yiyuan dealt with the blower, he turned his attention to the staff's wig.
"Brother, this thing is scary if you keep it, why not give it to me now."
After saying that, he put the staff member's wig directly on his own head, and also helped Su Xingyao pick one up in his hand, and then he plucked all the staff members' wigs bald.
The director watching all this in front of the monitor: ?????
All the wigs were taken away?
What kind of a match are Su Xingyao and Luo Yiyuan? !
A self-contained light...
A confiscation of NPC props...
This variety show has just aired its first episode...
Can we still record properly?!!!
"Go, go, confiscate them! Confiscate all of them immediately!!!"
While the director was collapsing under oxygen and roaring madly, Su Xingyao had already seen everything around him clearly.
At this moment, a familiar mechanical sound came from the headset.
"Su Xingyao and Luo Yiyuan, please return the props in your hands to the staff immediately!"
The mechanical sound is used to give instructions to all guests, so this sentence is synchronized in everyone's headset.
Gu Feiyang, who had just taken off his blindfold, was surprised, "What props did they take?"
Xie Jin, who was still trying to figure out how to get out, asked, "What? You got the props so quickly?"
Wu Ningning was frightened by the NPC and huddled in a corner, "Ahhh where is Xingyao? I want to go find him too."
After Su Xingyao heard the warning in the headset, a staff member immediately came and confiscated his flashlight.
Not only did he take the flashlight, the other party also touched his bag with great concern, fearing that he had hidden something strange in there.
"Hey, hey! Don't take it away! You didn't say you can't bring props!!"
Luo Yiyuan, who was afraid of ghosts, watched the lamp being confiscated. After the surroundings returned to darkness, he wanted to go up and get the lamp back, but he hid behind Su Xingyao in a very cowardly manner.
Su Xingyao was much calmer.
With this interruption just now, the sense of fear that this room brought to him had long disappeared in the previous episode.
So based on the layout he saw when he turned on the light just now, he took Luo Yiyuan directly to find the exit of the room.
With a click.
After the door was opened, Su Xingyao came out.
Outside the house was a deserted street.
There were no street lights on the street, only the dim crescent moon in the sky was emitting a faint light.
The program crew spent a lot of money on the set this time.
Not only were the effects of day and night created directly, but even the moon was carefully created.
Su Xingyao was walking on the street, and a vague shadow could be seen on the ground illuminated by the moon.
Luo Yiyuan behind him was still immersed in the resentment of being criticized by the staff for running the light just now. Now standing on the empty street, his expression seemed surprisingly normal.
He no longer looked frightened, and even asked Su Xingyao, "Susu, are you still afraid of the dark?"
Su Xingyao pointed to the moon in the sky and shook his head, "Don't be afraid if there is light."
Luo Yiyuan also patted himself confidently, "I don't think I'm that scared anymore... This time I saw with my own eyes that they were all played by humans, so I don't think it's that scary anymore."
After saying that, he took out the wig from his bag and put it back on his head, "The wig protects the body."
[??? Wasn't the wig taken away by the staff? How come Luo Yiyuan is also learning to hide things from Su Xingyao!]
[As we all know, the ability to hide things is contagious]
[Oh my god, Luo Yiyuan is not afraid of ghosts anymore? Was he cured by Su Xingyao's lamp? Hahahaha]
[Su Xingyao and Luo Yiyuan, this duo who are afraid of the dark and ghosts, really made me laugh to death]
Luo Yiyuan had just put on his wig when he heard another scream.
So he, who said he was not afraid of ghosts in the previous second, immediately grabbed Su Xingyao's arm like a little child in the next second, hiding behind him and trembling.
[Hahaha, I said the wig will protect my body, so I’m not afraid of ghosts anymore]
The person who screamed was Wu Ningning.
With the faint moonlight, Su Xingyao saw her at a glance.
Wu Ningning, who was running on the street, also saw Su Xingyao and hurriedly ran to his side.
"Susu, Susu, I just saw a lot of dolls over there..."
Wu Ningning, who was terrified, pointed to the street ahead, her voice trembling, "They seem to be still moving!"
Su Xingyao looked in the direction Wu Ningning said.
"A moving doll?"
After listening to the other party's description, he glanced towards the room he had just come out of.
When the lights came on just now, he saw that there were many dolls in that room as well.
Su Xingyao was thinking about the relationship between this issue's theme and the puppets, when Wu Ningning suddenly took a step back, pointed at Luo Yiyuan behind Su Xingyao with a pale face and said, "Su Su... there's... there's a ghost behind you!"
Hearing this description, Luo Yiyuan was so scared that he ran in front of Su Xingyao.
Wu Ningning thought he was going to change his target and chase her, and she was so scared that she quickly jumped behind Su Xingyao.
The two of them were playing hide-and-seek, screaming and switching positions.
In the end, Su Xingyao calmly took out a super mini Kuromi light from her sleeve, put it in her palm and turned it on, then placed it in front of Luo Yiyuan and lifted up his wig.
The game of hide-and-seek only stopped after seeing Luo Yiyuan's appearance clearly through the night light.
"It's not a ghost, it's Luo Yiyuan."
After seeing the other person's face clearly, Wu Ningning angrily clenched her fist and hit Luo Yiyuan's shoulder.
"Why are you dressed like this so late at night? You scared me to death!!"
After calming herself down, she looked at the night light in Su Xingyao's hand with glowing eyes.
“This night light is so cute!”
Seeing that Wu Ningning liked it, Su Xingyao gave the night light to her directly.
"I'll give it to you. Although it can't illuminate places too far away, it can be used at a critical moment."
Wu Ningning originally liked Kuromi, and immediately took the night light from Su Xingyao with joy.
The director who just finished drinking water in front of the monitor: ???
How come a night light suddenly appeared in just a few seconds?
The director looked at the staff member who had just seized Su Xingyao's flashlight in confusion.
The other party waved his hands quickly with an innocent look on his face.
"Director, I really emptied his bag just now!"
After saying this, in order to prove his innocence, he immediately put all the things he had searched from Su Xingyao in front of the director.
Mini lights, searchlights, pet lights, keychain lights, ASMR sleep guidance lights and more...
"Why did he bring all the glow sticks with him!!!"
The director, who had no idea why Su Xingyao brought so many lights, scratched his hair, which was not very thick to begin with.
My head hurts so much that I feel like my brain can’t keep up with Su Xingyao.
While the director was still wondering where Su Xingyao got so many strange lights, on the other side, Su Xingyao himself was taking two ghost-shy little followers to the place where Wu Ningning had mentioned where they met the puppets.
As a result, he didn't see the puppet during this trip, but unexpectedly met Gu Feiyang and Xie Jin.
Xie Jin brought good news to everyone.
She raised a letter in her hand and said, "I just found this on the table by accident. It should be a clue."
"But I can't see very well."
In fact, she had already opened the envelope.
But because her vision was blurry, she tried for a long time but couldn't see clearly what was written on it.
As soon as they saw that Xie Jin had a clue, everyone rushed over.
Wu Ningning excitedly placed the Kuromi lamp in her palm and gently pressed her head with her fingers.
Then a light suddenly appeared around her palm.
The light was not too strong, but it was more than enough to illuminate the words on the letter paper.
Xie Jin noticed the light and was extremely surprised.
"Ningning, why did you bring a lamp? That's so smart!"
While Wu Ningning shone the light on the letter, she looked at Su Xingyao with admiration and explained to her, "I didn't bring it. Xingyao gave it to me."
Wu Ningning:!
With the light of the night light, the five people finally saw the contents clearly.
Inside was an invitation letter from a person who claimed to be a collector of Doll Town, to a person named Xiaoxi.
"Dear Xiaoxi, I am..."
Xie Jin read out the above contents to other guests one by one.
“Welcome to Doll Town, where you can do whatever you want, and the God of Dolls will bless you to realize all your wishes.”
After Xie Jin finished reading the last sentence, everyone heard a beep in their earphones.
Then the familiar prompt sound rang.
"Congratulations to all players for unlocking this issue's theme - Doll Town."
After finishing the topic, the mechanical voice gave them the follow-up of the setting.
"Xiaoxi came to the Doll Town after accepting the invitation of the curator. However, on his first day in the town, he mysteriously disappeared."
"As his friends, please try your best to find out about him and bring him out of the town."
"Next, please explore the town and learn about Xiaoxi's personal information."
After the mechanical voice finished speaking, the eyes of several guests lit up instantly.
The originally pitch-black street suddenly turned into daytime.
And that moon had long been replaced by the rising sun.
It was finally daytime and the guests all breathed a sigh of relief.
What’s even more amazing is that the streets that were originally empty are now bustling with people.
People in all kinds of clothes appeared on the streets.
The clothes of these people were the same as theirs, with all kinds of styles from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign. So curious Luo Yiyuan pulled a passing NPC and asked, "Why are you wearing such strange clothes?"
The other party smiled and straightened his clothes, "I guess you are all from other places, right?"
"We have always had this custom in our Doll Town. We must dress uniquely when we go out."
Luo Yiyuan gave the other party a thumbs up when he heard it, "cool~"
After knowing the reason, he turned around and asked Su Xingyao, "Where are we going now?"
The program team gave very few clues and no one had any idea.
Su Xingyao looked at the invitation letter in Xie Jin's hand and pointed her index finger at the column for the inviter.
"Let's go find the curator first. Didn't he invite Xiaoxi? He should have some news."
Su Xingyao's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
After searching the map for a long time in the town, several people finally found the doll museum.
As soon as we entered the museum, we were shocked by the huge number of dolls in it.
The display cabinets in the museum were filled with all kinds of dolls. When the five people came in, it seemed that all the dolls were looking at them.
Luo Yiyuan got goose bumps when he saw these dolls.
However, compared with the many strange dolls, they were more impressed by the curator here.
Because the other person is a little girl who looks to be around ten years old.
Unfortunately, the little girl curator was mute and said nothing the whole time. She just looked at them with a smile.
Gu Feiyang took the initiative to explain his purpose to her.
The other person's expression remained unchanged, but she generously handed over the diary, photos, and mobile phone that Xiaoxi had sent her before to the five people.
After the curator gave them the clue, he pointed to the time at the door, indicating that the museum was about to close.
So the few people had to walk to the square in front of the museum.
After unpacking these clues, unfortunately, the diaries and photos inside were all torn into pieces for some unknown reason.
Even the cell phone was completely dead.
At the same time, the mechanical sound rang out again.
"This rescue will take two days and three nights. It will be dark in half an hour. Please hurry up, players."
Time was so tight that the five people had to divide the work.
Wu Ningning and Xie Jin were responsible for putting together the diary.
Su Xingyao and Gu Feiyang put photos together.
Luo Yiyuan went to find a charging cable and charger to charge his mobile phone.
When Su Xingyao was piecing the photos together, she found that the photos "torn" by the program team were quite interesting. Each piece was broken into very complete pieces, just like playing a jigsaw puzzle.
However, because many photos are mixed together, it is not easy to piece them together.
When Gu Feiyang saw this puzzle, his brain was blown away.
However, Su Xingyao squatted on the ground slowly, starting from the edge and putting the pieces together bit by bit. It took him nearly twenty minutes to finish the piece.
The program planners were stunned when they saw the time.
Originally they planned to take 20 to 30 minutes per person to complete two photos.
Unexpectedly, Su Xingyao finished all the puzzles by herself in less than twenty minutes.
Compared to the difficulty of Su Xingyao's puzzle, the torn area of the diary is larger, so the piecing together process is much simpler.
After Su Xingyao finished the work, she also finished the diary.
There weren't any obvious clues in the diary.
The above just uses different papers and different ratios to record Xiaoxi's daily trivialities.
Through summary, everyone found out that Xiaoxi was actually an orphan who had been staying in an orphanage before. This was his first time traveling far away.
Before that, he had been moving between the orphanage and school. He was an excellent student with good character and academic performance and a love for mathematics.
Next, everyone went to see the photos that Su Xingyao had put together.
The information above is even more vague.
The first one is a blazing fire.
The other photo was of a burnt house somewhere.
Before everyone could figure out the significance of this, Luo Yiyuan came back after recharging.
"You don't know, even charging the battery requires decryption..."
Luo Yiyuan turned on his phone while talking about how difficult it was to charge it.
After a short wait, Xiaoxi's phone lit up.
The hand-painted pattern of three white flowers wrapped in a golden five-pointed star on the lock screen wallpaper was also revealed.
After turning on the phone, Luo Yiyuan quickly pressed the button twice and then frowned.
"It's no use charging this phone. He even needs to enter a password..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a new prompt tone came from the headset.
"There are only three minutes left until dark. Players are requested to decipher the existing clues as soon as possible, otherwise the clues will be invalidated."
While they were talking, the production crew dimmed the lights for them.
The sun, which was originally hanging in the sky, is now beginning to "set".
In this situation, the guests were stunned for a moment.
"Can the clues be discarded?"
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!"
"How can I find clues in three minutes..."
As the time left for hesitation was too short, the guests started trying passwords like crazy.
“Use birthday, use birthday!”
Gu Feiyang suggested the most commonly used unlocking password.
Wu Ningning, who was just piecing together the diary, obviously thought of the same thing as him. She quickly looked for it in the diary and quickly reported the other party's birthday.
"020409"
Luo Yiyuan didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly pressed his finger down.
Wrong password.
Gu Feiyang sighed speechlessly: "Birthday is not okay... then what else?"
Luo Yiyuan quickly asked: "Are there any other numbers in the diary?"
Xie Jin shook his head helplessly: "No more."
Wu Ningning turned around anxiously: "Then should we look for clues..."
So the four of them started searching around the museum in a panic.
After all, according to the nature of the program crew, they must have hidden the password around them.
While several guests were searching like headless flies, Wu Ningning, who was full of luck, quickly found a map on a bench.
Everyone quickly took it to study and found that there were several coordinates on the map, and twenty-six letters were written behind it.
Looking more closely, I saw that twelve of the letters were circled with a very light pen, and then arrows were drawn up, down, left, and right at the end in a random pattern.
When the guests saw this password, they were all confused.
Luo Yiyuan couldn't help but complain, "Director, do you think our IQ is very high..."
The director didn't reply to them, but instead sent them a sixty-second countdown.
As the countdown began, the guests stopped complaining and focused on studying the map.
However, after looking at it for a long time, I found that I couldn't find any pattern at all, so I just started to make random guesses.
I entered the password three times and it was all wrong.
The guests were devastated.
Because the mobile phone password can only be entered five times, if it is wrong again, the phone will be locked, and their clue will be invalid.
"The countdown is ten seconds. What should I do?"
In a panic, Luo Yiyuan saw Su Xingyao approaching him and said to him calmly, "Try 548834."
There is only one chance left now, and Luo Yiyuan is a little hesitant to press it.
After all, there is really no pattern to this set of numbers.
He looked at Su Xingyao in confusion, "Su Su, how did you get this number? Are you sure?"
Su Xingyao glanced at his phone and smiled softly, "There's only ten seconds left, let's give it a try."
The countdown came from the headset.
Seeing that no one could think of any other good number, Luo Yiyuan decided to try it out and used the number that Su Xingyao had suggested.
After two seconds of countdown, it became dark.
When he fell into darkness again, Luo Yiyuan found that the pattern on the phone in his hand had changed.
He waved his phone towards everyone in surprise.
"It's unlocked!"
