Chapter 71

Terrified roars exploded everywhere.

“Qingqing——!”

"Go save them!!!"

"Call 120, call 120 quickly——"

The sudden and huge change plunged the entire crew into chaos and panic.

A group of people screamed hysterically and ran in all directions.

Wu Fen looked at Bai Qingqing lying on the ground covered in blood in horror. Sharp screams kept coming out of her throat. She was shaking all over and her mind was blank.

She didn't understand how it turned out like this. She had only asked that guy named Zhang to place a tiny bit of explosives, so how could it explode like this?

“Qingqing! Qingqing——!”

Wu Fen wanted to run over to save Bai Qingqing, but was afraid of more explosions. She called 120 while trembling, but without tears.

Because the fear was far greater than the worry, it burned her eyes dry and painful.

Fortunately, the explosion did not continue and ended quickly. The scene was in chaos and Bai Qingqing had already passed out, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

Dong Hong had been lying on the ground, staring blankly at everything, until the leader of the group called her, and then she came to her senses.

"Dong Hong, Xiao Dong! Why are you still lying there? Come out quickly——"

Dong Hong gasped for breath, quickly got up and ran outside, and only stopped her weakened steps when she reached the safe open space outside.

Wailing and cursing could be heard all around.

Dong Hong stood still and looked around clearly. The injured people were far more than just Bai Qingqing and the staff member who went to pull Bai Qingqing away. All the extras lying on the ground acting as "dead bodies" were affected. The few people who were closest to the center of the explosion like her were covered in blood and wailing on the stretcher!

Several groundskeepers and other staff members were also hit by the flying porcelain fragments, with blood marks on their arms and stomachs.

Dong Hong's heart was beating like a drum and her head was buzzing.

She has been a supporting actor for so many years, but this is the first time she has encountered such an accident.

At this time, the leader of the group noticed that Dong Hong was different from the others. He ran over and stared at her in surprise.

"You you you...are you okay?!"

He thought Dong Hong had been lying there because she had been badly injured in the explosion, but he didn't dare to go over to help her, so he had to shout at her at the top of his voice.

But I didn't expect that Dong Hong didn't feel anything wrong at all. The "bloodstains" on her body were exactly the same as before, not a bit more.

"I, I'm fine."

When Dong Hong heard what the group leader said, she suddenly realized something. She touched her chest and felt a burning temperature under her palm.

She subconsciously took out the extremely hot thing and found that the yellow talisman that was sealed tightly in plastic an hour ago had been burned into a pile of ashes without her noticing!

Thinking back to when the explosion occurred, it seemed as if a burning warm force enveloped her entire body, pressing her so hard that she couldn't stand up or raise her head. Otherwise, her escape route was 100% consistent with Bai Qingqing's. Dong Hong's pupils contracted.

She thought it was an explosion wave at the time, but now thinking about it, it was clearly the power of this talisman!

The leader of the group also saw the pile of ash, connected it to something, and looked shocked.

"This, this, this... Could this be the yellow talisman that Bai Siyu gave you?!"

This talisman is actually real?

This talisman is actually useful!!!

Dong Hong's hand holding Fu Hui was trembling slightly, her lips trembling, and surging emotions assaulted her mind. Before she could say anything, the sound of ambulance bells approaching from far away filled the entire set.

Two ambulances arrived one after another, blocking the entrance to the studio tightly.

Bai Qingqing and the staff member who was protecting her and was hit by the wood were immediately carried to the ambulance. Other extras and staff members who were seriously injured were also bandaged and treated one after another.

Following closely behind the ambulance were the paparazzi and reporters who had been waiting nearby, and the police who were a little behind.

Director Feng Fei's brain was about to explode. He was anxiously responding to the inquiries, hoping that the investors above could suppress the news as soon as possible.

But I didn’t expect——

He hadn't even finished taking his statement when the news that Bai Qingqing was seriously injured and the extras were also collectively injured topped the trending searches!

[Explosion on the set of Elegy Ni Ni, Bai Qingqing seriously injured] (Explosion)

[An accident occurred at the Beijing Film and Television Base, and 17 people were suspected to be injured] (explosive)

【Bai Qingqing】(Explosion)

【......】

After several hot topics appeared in the headlines one after another, the entire Internet was in an uproar.

Although Bai Qingqing is a second-tier star, she is one of the well-known female stars in recent years. She has quite a large number of fans, especially passers-by. Now Bai Qingqing was actually sent to the hospital because of a mistake made by the crew, and news about her was everywhere.

"Oh my god, Bai Qingqing?! She is my childhood goddess. I love her performance in Jiangnan Story!"

"What on earth are the crew doing? They actually blew it up like this. Did they mix real explosives into the props?!"

"I saw someone release photos of the scene. Bai Qingqing was hit by a piece of wood. I don't think her life is in danger. And all the extras were seriously injured. It seems that no one survived. It's so tragic..."

"It would be great if she had the amulet from the Wheel of Fortune live broadcast room. [cry][cry][cry]"

"......"

After someone mentioned the Wheel of Fortune live broadcast room, more and more comments were made about it. In particular, someone noticed that the face of one of the extras was very similar to the face of the first person Bai Siyu contacted during the live broadcast last night.

"Fuck, look at this person lying next to the counter. Is she the extra who was connected with Bai Siyu yesterday?"

“It seems so, it seems so!”

"I'm an extra in the crew next door. I know this girl. She is indeed the one connected to Bai Siyu! And I was also nearby when the explosion happened next door. I returned to the crew after the explosion. From the beginning to the end of the explosion, I saw many people running out, but she was not among them. It looks like she must have been seriously injured!"

"Ah ...

"......"

There were more and more discussions about this topic, and soon a new term emerged.

It climbed to the top ten of the hot searches.

【Bai Si Yu Huang Fu】

When you click on the entry, you will see a barrage of ridicule and abuse.

Especially since a life was lost this time, some people who already hated Bai Siyu cursed him harshly. Some even started a forwarding and lottery event, vowing to spread Bai Siyu's "murderous crimes" as far as possible.

In less than half an hour, several of the messages had been forwarded nearly 10,000 times.

Bai Siyu had no idea about this and was still attending classes at school.

It was not until the teacher gave the order for everyone in the classroom to start free group discussions that the noise in a corner of the classroom became increasingly intense and angry. Some people even stood up, attracting the teacher's attention.

"What are you talking about? Don't get too excited!"

Teacher Mei looked at the group in the corner and spoke to them in a restraining manner.

It would have been fine if Teacher Mei didn't say anything. As soon as she spoke, someone in the group immediately stood up, and one of them, a man with glasses, spoke in a very high-pitched voice.

"Teacher, isn't the topic of our discussion this time about understanding moral dilemmas from Marxism? Our group couldn't come up with a conclusion, so we just want to ask other students, such as Bai Siyu, what do you think of his behavior of promoting feudal superstition and harming people's lives?!"

The classroom was originally buzzing, but as soon as the man in glasses spoke, the whole classroom inexplicably became quiet.

All the classmates looked at the two of them, and then looked at Bai Siyu who had a confused look on his face.

Teacher Mei couldn't help but frown.

"What on earth are you doing, classmate? Does what you are talking about have anything to do with the class?"

"Teacher, why doesn't it matter?" The girl next to the boy with glasses also stood up, her face slightly filled with anger.

"Student Bai Siyu was fortune-telling online and selling yellow talismans, saying they could protect people. But now that person was injured in an explosion on the set and is still unknown whether he is alive or dead. We just want to ask student Bai Siyu, what is his understanding of morality, and why does he want to learn Marxism?"

As soon as the girl's voice came out, the whole classroom suddenly became quiet and many people began to whisper.

This is a large class. There are not only Bai Siyu's class in the class, but also other classes in the same department. At the beginning of the school year, everyone was very curious and interested in Bai Siyu, but after Bai Siyu repeatedly refused fortune-telling and the teacher emphasized, they gradually treated Bai Siyu as an ordinary person.

Now when Huo Ran heard someone facing him, everyone couldn't help but become 120% more interested.

His eyes darted towards Bai Siyu.

But not everyone was slacking off in class. Many people had no idea what the two were talking about or why they accused Bai Siyu of murder.

Until someone reminded me to watch apps like Big Eyes or Vibrato.

Pang Guanchao reacted the fastest. Before anyone reminded him, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the hot search of a certain APP.

When he saw the entry at the top, his face changed drastically and he quickly handed the phone to Bai Siyu: "Xiaoyu, look!"

Bai Siyu took the phone and scanned it.

Bai Siyu: “…”

Mom is mentally retarded.

As Bai Siyu read the content of the entry and the overwhelming insults, others also took out their phones to see all this, and immediately there was a lot of discussion.

"Oh my god, Bai Siyu actually hurt someone."

"I don't think that's certain. We don't know what the girl's current situation is."

"This is already very obvious. If it were false, it would have been debunked long ago..."

Teacher Mei was somewhat dissatisfied with what had happened suddenly in the classroom, but seeing how angry the two were, she had no choice but to comfort them temporarily.

"Please discuss matters not related to the class after class. If you really want to talk, you can talk to classmate Bai Siyu after class."

"Teacher, we don't think this has anything to do with the class." The man with glasses still insisted.

Teacher Mei's face turned a little dark. She wanted to say something when Bai Siyu suddenly stood up.

He raised his eyelids without changing his expression, and glanced at the two people, and also scanned the entire classroom inconspicuously.

"Teacher, since these two students have opinions about me, it would be inappropriate for me not to respond."

His voice was calm and gentle.

"My response is that this news is a rumor. We are all students majoring in Marxist philosophy and should understand that the essence of Marxist philosophy is to seek truth from facts. The two students should at least wait until the truth is fully revealed before questioning me, instead of following the crowd and confronting me when they are not even sure of the complete truth."

"You said it was a rumor? You didn't really answer my question. You just avoided the point!"

The man with glasses didn't like Bai Siyu in the first place, he had disliked her since the beginning of the school year, and now he was extremely disgusted with Bai Siyu's calm and self-possessed behavior!

He looked at Bai Siyu's overly handsome face and just wanted to bang his head against the wall.

"Bai Siyu, you promote feudal superstition, mislead the people, and make money. Now you are even murdering people. I think you are not qualified to be a student of our Marxism major. You are a disgrace to our major!!!"

The man in glasses spoke harshly, and every word he said was angry, causing the discussion in the classroom to get louder.

“Bang!”

Pang Guanchao was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

"I think you are the disgrace to our profession! Did the extra die? Did the police issue a notice? You are so eager to accuse him of something. What grounds do you have to say that Bai Siyu is promoting feudal superstition? Apart from helping to predict the future and tell fortunes, has he ever said anything to call on everyone not to believe in science?!"

"That's right. Who did Bai Siyu deceive? What fortune did he seek? Do you know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent on visiting children in orphanages during the National Day holiday? He also gave many amulets to those orphans for free. Do you know how much these amulets are worth in that Wheel of Fortune live broadcast room?"

Peng Cheng also stood up.

"That's right!" With Peng Cheng's support, Pang Guanchao felt even more justified.

"You two are not worthy of studying in our school and our major. You..." Pang Guanchao didn't even lower his head when he felt someone pulling him. "Shanzi, why are you pulling me? I want to tell you!"

"No, no, no, you don't have to tell him!"

Zhang Chengshan, who never dared to speak in public, blushed and tried to raise his voice.

"The trending search has suddenly changed! Look quickly..."

Zhang Chengshan's words stunned Pang Guanchao. He picked up his phone and swiped it quickly, only to find that the entry had not disappeared.

"Where did you change it?"

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Chengshan was so anxious that he wanted to help Peng Guanchao, and when he started to move, the tone of discussion in the classroom changed significantly.

Many people also discovered that the terms that were just ranked second and third in the hot searches were suddenly pushed to fourth and fifth by the two new terms!

[Bai Qingqing wears the Wheel of Fortune high-level amulet]

【Bai Siyu and the extras were unharmed in the explosion】

Two new terms suddenly became popular searches!

When I clicked in, I saw the same terrifyingly clear video on top.

The video was obviously taken from a long-distance angle, but the equipment was so sophisticated that it even captured the small patterns on Bai Qingqing and the extras' clothes on the ground clearly!

In one of the photos, before Bai Qingqing officially started filming, her agent gave her a small pocket-sized jewel pouch with patterns on it. The pattern was clearly the unique logo on the yellow talisman sold in the Wheel of Fortune live broadcast room! Based on the color, it can be judged that this is a high-end amulet worth six figures.

The next scene is the explosion, where everyone falls to the ground. There is smoke and dust everywhere, but the fragments of the exploded wine jar are still very clear. People can even see that the pieces suddenly deviate from the direction before reaching Bai Qingqing's body, but this is only the "beginning"...

It was as if the halo suddenly failed. After five or six pieces of the wine jar fragments "avoided" Bai Qingqing, the following pieces all stabbed towards Bai Qingqing, leaving no one alive!

Bai Qingqing screamed in pain and ran towards the staff who came to pick her up, but the wood on her head fell down the next second.

It's horrible!!!

But the video doesn’t end here.

The next second the scene changed, and a female extra lying on the ground appeared on the screen. She was at the center of the explosion just like Bai Qingqing, and she didn't even have time to run because she was lying down. However, the exploded fragments and smoke seemed to have eyes, and all of them avoided her body in an extremely unscientific arc!

Even some of the sharp porcelain pieces had shot towards the girl's back, with no way to avoid it, but it seemed as if they were suddenly bounced away by something!

This went on for more than half a minute until the explosion finally ended. The girl came to her senses as if awakened from a dream, got up from the ground, and ran out of the set safely.

What follows is a stark contrast between Bai Qingqing, who was carried into the ambulance, and the female extras who were unharmed and did not even need a bandage, and could only stand aside waiting for the statement to be taken.

The video is sped up throughout, and should have been more than a minute, but here it's only about thirty seconds.

Pang Guanchao finished watching it quickly and was stunned. Everyone who saw the video was stunned.

This slap in the face came unexpectedly.

It seems that the faces of the two men with eyes swelled up before the fight even started?!

This, this is really...

It leaves people speechless.

"You said that the extra who took the yellow talisman that our Xiaoyu gave was missing. Is that true?"

Peng Cheng spoke first. He walked up to the man with glasses with his cell phone and put the screen of the phone directly in front of his eyes.

"Is that so?! Speak!"

The man in glasses froze, his pupils trembling and nostrils flaring. He had no idea how he would suddenly change, how he would suddenly become like this!

The girl next to him also sat down immediately, her face turning red.

"Aren't you just jealous that Bai Siyu surpassed you in the last group assignment presentation and took first place? You questioned his ranking in the dormitory and spread rumors that he got full marks because of his looks. Do you think others don't know?"

Peng Cheng stared at the man in glasses and gritted his teeth.

He was in the toilet in the middle of the night with diarrhea. When he heard the man with glasses whispering on the phone at the sink cursing Bai Siyu, he wanted to hit him with a hammer, but in the end he held back for fear of causing trouble for Bai Siyu.

After all, I would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain.

But I didn't expect that this villain would keep biting Bai Siyu.

When Peng Cheng said this, the whole class was stunned.

The man with glasses' face turned purple-red in an instant.

"You're talking nonsense. I now admit that I made a conclusion about the extras without finding out all the facts, but I have absolutely no other thoughts about him, and I have no other hostility towards classmate Bai Siyu!"

"You clearly—"

"Okay, stop arguing, this topic ends here."

Teacher Mei spoke fiercely.

She has a good temper and often gives her classmates the right to discuss freely, and will even express her opinions along with them, but this time she really went too far.

Peng Cheng immediately shut up and returned to his seat obediently. Pang Guanchao also sat down quickly.

"Let's continue discussing the group question. I'll ask a classmate to answer it later."

Teacher Mei coughed and walked out of the classroom.

Then she couldn't help but open her phone......

After sitting down, Pang Guanchao couldn't help but exclaim at Bai Siyu.

"Oh my god, Xiaoyu, your talisman is amazing! Look at the comments on the plaza, they are such a slap in the face! Who took this photo? Is there a big shot helping you?!"
