Chapter 17: Haunted Hill House (17)
For many people in the entertainment industry, the treatment given by the program team represents their status. If the room is changed midway, it will cause dissatisfaction among the artists and fans.
But at this time, when Yan Shixun asked to move all the guests on the right side to the left room, everyone acted quickly without any dissatisfaction or doubt. Even in the live broadcast barrage, many people were anxiously urging the guests to move faster, and the fans did not say a word to the contrary.
It seems that if the guests move a little slower, their lives will be in danger.
But the guests on the right are actually easy to move away.
There are four rooms in total on the second and third floors on the right. The male actor on the second floor has suffered a mental breakdown at this moment. He took a sedative and slept in a room on the first floor that was temporarily cleared out for first aid. Liu Yiyi on the third floor was seriously injured and was also lying in the first aid room.
The remaining Ding Qian was frightened by the ghost in the mirror. As soon as Yan Shixun finished speaking, she didn't even pack her things and ran directly to the room of Bai Shuang, the only female guest other than her.
As for the guest on the second floor, he was not very happy, and felt that an amateur who had not even entered the entertainment industry dared to order him around, which made him lose face. But fortunately, he saw the fate of the male actor who did not listen to Yan Shixun in the morning, so he quickly carried his luggage and moved into the left side of the second floor, squeezing into the same room with another guest.
Only after the room was changed did the staff finally feel relieved. They were afraid that the old butler would jump out from a corner and stop them halfway through, but fortunately everything went smoothly.
But in Yan Shixun's opinion, it was going too smoothly.
According to his reasoning, the red room on the right is under the control of the old housekeeper and the monsters in the villa, so for them, the people living in the right room are their "property". Now the people in the right room have moved to the left side, which is the opposition of the old housekeeper and is likely under the control of the female ghost. For the old housekeeper, it is definitely a loss.
So, why did the old butler never show up from beginning to end?
"When was the last time you saw the old butler?" Yan Shixun asked in a deep voice.
Everyone hesitated for a moment and began to recall.
"At breakfast?"
"Me too. Because he went to the kitchen, I stayed in the living room and didn't dare go to the kitchen. But I never saw him come out."
"That's true. I haven't seen him since breakfast."
Everyone was talking about their own time points, and when they gathered together they realized that after breakfast, the old butler had not appeared in front of anyone again.
They looked at each other and saw the questions and panic in each other's eyes.
——What is more frightening than seeing a bug is that the bug appears briefly and then disappears in the room. That makes people wonder whether the bug is hiding under the pillow or lying on their back.
Yan Shixun held onto the gilded railing and looked into the living room from the third floor.
He didn't believe that the old housekeeper would stay in the kitchen all the time.
Yesterday afternoon, the old housekeeper followed him all the way and watched his movements closely. Last night, the old housekeeper also stood in front of the French window in the living room and looked at the garden and the woodshed.
A guy who wanted to control everything would not allow people to do whatever they wanted in the villa that he regarded as his territory. However, the old butler never showed up.
Unless... something more important occupied the old butler's attention, leaving him no time to take care of what everyone was doing.
Yan Shixun suddenly asked, "Who is watching over the emergency room on the first floor?"
The staff looked at each other and said hesitantly, "We heard someone shouting and thought someone was injured again, so we quickly brought the first aid personnel and medical kits up. Currently, the people guarding the first aid room are here..."
As he was talking, the staff member suddenly shut up.
They also realized the purpose of Yan Shixun's question, and they immediately jumped onto the railing in horror, stretching their necks to look down, trying to see the situation in the emergency room.
However, due to the U-shaped structure, people standing on the left side of the third floor could not see the emergency room on the left side of the first floor.
"No way! There are only two people, Liu Yiyi and her...Liu Yiyi!"
The staff who reacted immediately ran down the stairs.
But Yan Shixun reacted much faster than them.
As soon as the staff started to move, Yan Shixun immediately supported the railing with one hand. His firm arms with beautiful lines instantly tensed up. He suddenly exerted force and jumped over the railing, jumping directly from the third floor to the first floor.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Yan Shixun landed steadily on the carpet in the living room on the first floor, squatted slightly to release the force, then immediately stood up and walked towards the emergency room.
The room that was supposed to be closed has been opened.
Through the crack in the door, one could see that the male actor was still lying on the bed, soundly asleep, while the other bed where Liu Yiyi was placed was empty, with only a white quilt half-fallen on the bed and draped over the ground.
It was just like the shape Liu Yiyi was in when she struggled to climb out of the bed in the morning.
Yan Shixun took a few steps over the screen and the huge decorative vase in the living room, and when he got closer he saw that Liu Yiyi was not missing, but was lying on the ground with her head and shoulders stuck in the middle of the door, which prevented the door from closing.
He scanned the surroundings and didn't find anything. Then he squatted down beside Liu Yiyi, reached out and pushed open the door that was holding her with one hand. After taking a look at the situation in the room, he lowered his head to check on Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi was still in a coma after being seriously injured, with no response or autonomy. Judging from her posture and the wrinkles of her clothes, she must have been dragged from the bed to the door by someone who had grabbed her arms from under her armpits.
The person who dragged her didn't care about her life or death, he just wanted to take her away. Under the violent pulling, her wound that had been bandaged opened again, and the blood stained a large area of her clothes and the floor red.
If Yan Shixun had not realized something was wrong and rushed to the emergency room as quickly as possible and via the shortest route, Liu Yiyi would most likely have been taken away and disappeared.
When he got closer, Yan Shixun suddenly realized that something was wrong with Liu Yiyi.
——The bloody smell coming from Liu Yiyi’s torn wound was smelly.
Unlike the rusty smell of normal people's blood, the smell on Liu Yiyi's body is more like the fishy smell of blood that has been left for many years.
It tastes the same as the red wine bottle that Yan Shixun found in Liu Yiyi's room.
So, the blood that Liu Yiyi drank is still taking effect, performing the "exchange" ritual in her body?
And the person who just took Liu Yiyi away when no one was around was probably the monster who seriously injured Liu Yiyi with an axe.
"Teacher Yan! This, this!"
The first aid personnel who ran down the stairs had barely caught their breath when they saw Liu Yiyi lying on the ground covered in blood, and they immediately became anxious.
Liu Yiyi's injury was in her lower back, and although Yan Shixun's emergency treatment in the morning stabilized her condition, if she wasn't careful, her kidneys and spine would be injured, not to mention that if the wound became infected and inflamed, she would probably die of exhaustion and shock in the absence of adequate emergency supplies.
The emergency personnel were so anxious that they were about to cry. They looked at Yan Shixun with hope, hoping that he would make a miracle happen again.
Yan Shixun did not pay his attention to the emergency personnel. Instead, he stood up straight and strode into the room. He lifted up the bath towel folded beside him with one hand and shook it open in the air with a "swish".
"People are like pieces of paper between us; ghosts are like mountains between us. Thousands of evils cannot break through them; tens of thousands of evils cannot be broken through." Yan Shixun's voice had a peculiar rhythm. While he was chanting in a low and rapid voice, his slender fingers also fell on the bath towel. He used his hand as a pen and the towel as a talisman and quickly drew the talisman.
The bath towel slowly fell, covering Liu Yiyi's waist and abdomen.
She didn't know if it was the first aid worker's illusion, but at that moment she actually felt that the originally ordinary bath towel flashed a dazzling golden light, carrying the majestic power of suppressing the mountains and driving away ghosts, which made people couldn't help but feel awe.
"Her wound has split open. The follow-up bandaging work will be left to you." Yan Shixun called back the stunned first aid personnel, walked past her calmly, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Remember to keep that towel covering her. Don't take it off."
The first aid worker was stunned for a few seconds before finding his tongue: "Okay, okay, Teacher Yan."
The audience in front of Yan Shixun's split-screen camera were also shocked by the twists and turns of the development, and their hearts were pounding. After seeing Yan Shixun calm down the crisis with ease, they breathed a sigh of relief.
[That’s great. Fortunately, Brother Shixun is here. I suddenly feel like I’m falling in love with Brother Shixun. What should I do? It’s really reassuring to have Brother Shixun around.]
[Wait! I've seen those two moves Yan Shixun just made! I have a friend who is a Taoist priest. He drew something similar in front of me, but it was a yellow paper cinnabar talisman. He said it was a spell to drive away ghosts. Could it be that there is really a ghost in this villa?!]
[You just believed it? I believed it last night because of Yan Shixun.]
[A Taoist priest? So Yan Shixun is one too? Wow, he's kind of handsome.]
The viewer who said he had seen a similar spell had no time to read the new round of discussion caused by his comment. He hurriedly logged off and went to find his Taoist friend to confirm.
On this side, when the staff members were running down from the third floor, Yan Shixun had already gone to the kitchen.
However, when he opened the door, the kitchen was deserted and empty.
Not only was the old butler, who everyone said had not left the kitchen since morning, not there.
The stove and cupboards were also empty and clean.
There was no food to be seen, as if the place had been uninhabited for a long time.
