This aroused the curiosity of other fans, who asked what was going on.
Go and see for yourself.
[Liu Dan'er and her online friend should be next to the street vendors, right?]
[This couple is so lavish... I won't say anything, just see for yourself.]
Suddenly, a large number of people flooded into Liu Dan'er's live stream, and the trending topic of the wealthy couple flaunting their wealth on the show quietly appeared on the trending list.
Although Liu Ziying slept soundly for the rest of the night, she was still troubled by what had happened the previous night. She had followed Gu Fan to the temple he had mentioned to pray again, but on the way they encountered a person dressed in monk's robes.
The man darted out from the side path and blocked their way, then said in English, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
His clothes were different from those of other Taoist monks, and he had a fierce tattoo on one of his exposed arms.
Liu Ziying and Gu Fan were taken aback, but seeing his attire, they didn't really want to pay him any attention.
Before they arrived, the local guide specifically warned everyone to be careful with their wallets, as there were many pickpockets. They were also advised to be wary of strangers approaching them, or they might be taken advantage of.
Both of them wanted to ignore it and leave as quickly as possible.
"Miss, you look unwell, as if you're surrounded by foul air. Did you see something bad last night?"
The monk spoke slowly, and Liu Ziying paused abruptly upon hearing his words.
Gu Fan looked at her in confusion, and Liu Ziying explained, "I might have had some water and soil incompatibility last night. I was indeed feeling unwell and had a nightmare."
"This is not a simple nightmare."
The monk took out a string of beads from his robes. “Wear it and walk around the perimeter of the temple to dispel the gloom that surrounds you. The gods will protect you.”
How much does this string of wooden beads cost?
Holy crap, this scam is almost identical to those in China!
[Monks don't talk about money, they only talk about affinity; 15,000 yuan.]
Have you downloaded the anti-fraud app today?
...
The comments section was filled with complaints that the man was a fraud, and even Liu Ziying thought so. However, the monk insisted that he didn't want any money.
He clasped his hands together, revealing a compassionate expression.
“Remember my words, and walk along the pedestrian street of Miana around the palace with them in mind, to wash away all the filth from your body.”
After speaking, the monk turned and disappeared into the narrow corridor.
Could Ziying have really met a master?
Ha, what a charade.
Since it's free, I might as well go.
I think it's best not to go to unfamiliar places. What if something bad happens?
【How could that be? Do you think the production team is just sitting around doing nothing?】
...
While fans in the live chat were still arguing about whether to go or not, Liu Ziying genuinely wanted to go and see.
Gu Fan was aware of his role as a "partner" on the show, so he naturally followed her lead.
On the other side
Jia Xitong and Shang Yanting have already taken photos.
It was already evening, and the two found a nice spot to sit, waiting with the accompanying cameraman for the others to return. With nothing else to do, Jia Xitong went and bought two plastic bags of milk tea.
Idol couples, amateur couples, and Liu Dan'er's group all rushed back as soon as possible.
Liu Ziying was the only one who didn't come back.
The production team was getting anxious and took out their phones to call their companions. However, the calls went unanswered, and screams could be heard in the distance as ambulances and police cars sped past them.
"What's wrong?"
The director became anxious when he couldn't get in touch with them.
At that moment, the staff member in charge of the overall live chat shouted, and everyone crowded in front of the monitor. The live chat was densely packed, almost exploding, with everyone spamming "Save the person!"
Miana Pedestrian Street
[Help! Help!]
A major incident has occurred on Miana Pedestrian Street! Is there any way to save lives?!
[I just saw police cars and ambulances go by. Good heavens, what was the production team thinking, letting Ziying and the others go to such a dangerous place?]
...
Milana Pedestrian Street
?
Everyone was puzzled upon hearing the place name, but they all rushed towards it. However, before they even got close, they were driven away by the police who were blocking the way outside.
The screams ahead grew louder, and doctors carried out many people on stretchers.
Many people were covered with white cloth.
Sometimes, in their haste, the doctor would accidentally lift the white sheet, revealing the face beneath. Liu Dan'er, who happened to see this, screamed in terror.
"Director, that...that person..."
Dead!
Liu Dan'er stammered, pointing at the corpse.
When the production team discovered that someone had died, they had a clearer understanding of the seriousness of the situation.
Where are Liu Ziying and Gu Fan?
The director quickly switched the camera to the two people's live stream channel. The camera was shaking incessantly, showing people huddled together in a crowded street. Sharp screams and painful pleas for help filled the air; the people, their faces flushed from suffocation, were filled with utter despair.
Oh my god!
What can we do? Can't they just back up? They're still pushing!
Is the girl with her mouth open and her face turning purple alright?
Where are Ziying and Gu Fan?
...
The show "Love Rush" is a huge hit.
However, it wasn't because of the program itself, but because of a sudden stampede on the Milana pedestrian street. The cameras had been pushed somewhere, and the production team couldn't stop filming to minimize the impact.
"Volunteers! We need volunteers!"
"Bring us a few stronger men!"
At that moment, two policemen appeared and spoke in broken English.
Several tall members of the production crew went along, including Shang Yanting. The director began to instruct the remaining people, "Everyone, stay away from here, don't separate, don't get separated."
##
Milana Pedestrian Street is actually a narrow alley.
There were only a handful of shops on the left and right, and no crowds to disperse around them. Those in front, already crushed and fallen, were piled on top of each other like a human pyramid, while those behind continued to push and shove forward as if possessed. They seemed completely oblivious to the danger ahead, continuing their revelry without a care in the world.
Even several burly men couldn't pull the person trapped inside out.
So when Shang Yanting pulled out two survivors who were about to suffocate, the burly men were all stunned for a moment.
"Don't just stand there and stare! Move in to direct the rescue efforts!"
Chaos reigned, death and fear permeated the air. Meanwhile, some, like vermin lurking in the shadows, watched it all with devout, almost frenzied expressions.
"197, 198, 199..."
His voice trembled with excitement as he counted, his voice barely audible amidst the screams, yet Shang Yanting still instantly noticed him.
The man's voice abruptly stopped.
He had a strange feeling of being locked in, and his inner fear made him leave the place prematurely.
