Chapter 12: Haunted Hill House (12)
The one who screamed the loudest was the actor who had mocked Ding Qian for being timid yesterday and had just questioned Yan Shixun for trespassing into the ladies' room.
Because Liu Yiyi still has some connections among the older generation in the film and television industry, although not much, but for male actors who are in an awkward career situation, it is also an opportunity that can be utilized.
So from the moment they started following the guest group, the male actors started calling each other "Sister Yiyi" and even attacking those Liu Yiyi didn't like, hoping to get Liu Yiyi's attention and thus get one or two film and television roles.
So just now, when Yan Shixun kicked open Liu Yiyi's door, the male actor immediately rushed to the front and acted indignant, wanting Liu Yiyi to see clearly at a glance that he was protecting her.
Because of this, when the door opened, the actor had no choice but to face the shock of the horror in the room, and was terrified. Apart from screaming, his frightened brain was unable to make any other reactions.
Yan Shixun immediately turned his head away and touched his ears with his hand unhappily.
Yesterday he was so arrogant and laughed at others for being timid, but now he is shouting louder than anyone else. He is almost deafened.
While the others were still stunned by the shock, Yan Shixun quickly stepped into the room with his long straight legs, took two steps at a time and squatted down beside Liu Yiyi.
He did not move Liu Yiyi's body rashly, but first raised his hand to check her pulse on her wrist which was covered with coagulated blood, confirming that she still had weak vital signs. Then he dipped his finger in the blood pool, touched the waist and abdomen where Liu Yiyi was bleeding, and quickly drew the pattern of the spell on it with blood instead of cinnabar.
"Subdue, submit, the internal blood will not flow out, the external blood will not bleed, people see me with worry, ghosts see me with sorrow... Guard my pavilion, the evil will dissipate."
Yan Shixun lowered his voice and recited quickly. He used his tall and strong body to block the view of people outside the door from looking at Liu Yiyi.
As the spell was uttered, Liu Yiyi's wounds gradually solidified, and no new blood flowed out. Her body, which was as cold and pale as if she had just been taken out of the freezer in the morgue, also softened to the normal color of a living person.
In the tangled black hair, Liu Yiyi's eyes, which were wide open as if she had seen something horrible and were unwilling to close, slowly drooped and she closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.
Faint breathing sounds were also heard.
After completing the first aid, Yan Shixun stood up and looked around Liu Yiyi's room with a frown.
Unlike what he saw in Bai Shuang's room last night, all the fabrics in Liu Yiyi's room were dark red, and the decorations were exquisite and luxurious. There were also paintings of beauties hanging on the walls, and a vase with fresh flowers placed on the gilded low table.
Judging from its size and location, this should be the master bedroom in a villa built a hundred years ago, and should belong to the male or female owner.
It can be seen that Liu Yiyi is indeed very satisfied with this room that she specially selected for herself. There is an opened bottle of red wine on the coffee table, and the glass next to it still has half a glass of blood-like red wine left in it. The chaise longue is covered with a luxurious blanket, creating a relaxing and leisurely picture.
Yan Shixun walked over, bent down, picked up the bottle of red wine, put it not far from his nose and sniffed it. Then his face changed slightly, and he quickly picked up the goblet to check the residue on the wall of the glass.
Unlike normal red wine glasses, this wine glass has circles of solidified red marks, and there are some very red irregular solids remaining at the bottom, like blood clots.
Yan Shixun's heart sank.
What Liu Yiyi drank in her room last night was not red wine.
It's human blood.
And judging from the foul smell, this is not fresh human blood. It has probably been left for a long time.
But the production team did not prepare red wine, which is fragile and unnecessary. This bottle of red wine should be in the villa. Moreover, there are no wine bottles in the restaurant and kitchen. Even if there is a wine cellar in the villa, Liu Yiyi, as a guest, cannot get it. She can only ask the only aboriginal old housekeeper in the villa for it.
Yan Shixun remembered the pot of meat he had ruined in the kitchen yesterday.
He tried every possible means to make the program crew eat human flesh dried into bacon and drink stale human blood... What was the old butler's purpose?
"Brother Yan." Zhang Wubing held onto the door frame tremblingly and asked anxiously, "How is Liu Yiyi? Is she...still alive?"
Yan Shixun didn't put down the bottle and cup in his hand, but turned around and walked out with them in his hand: "Don't worry, I've taken some measures, he won't die. Doesn't the program team have someone with first aid knowledge? Find one and let her take a look."
Zhang Wubing immediately took action, and while calling for emergency personnel, he also asked the live broadcast host to move the camera away from the room and focus on the scenery outside the window for the time being. As for the guests who had already opened the split-screen camera and pointed it at the room, they were asked to turn off the camera immediately.
Although the guest was frightened by Liu Yiyi's horrific condition at first, he soon became delighted when he saw the number of viewers and comments on the split screen constantly increasing.
He was somewhat reluctant when Zhang Wubing asked him to do so, but considering the director's authority over the program crew, he reluctantly agreed.
So the audience, who had thought they would be safe when daybreak came, were once again gripped with fear by the sudden screams. However, An Nanyuan's split screen was facing Yan Shixun's back, and it was completely blocked so that nothing could be seen.
The anxious and curious audience was waiting anxiously, and just as they noticed that another guest's split-screen angle allowed them to see the scene inside Liu Yiyi's room, they immediately rushed over.
Then, they were frightened by the deep red room and Liu Yiyi lying on the ground like a crawling female ghost, and they took a deep breath.
The director soon asked to turn off the split-screen shot, but that scene was firmly imprinted in the minds of the audience and could not be erased.
[Didn’t they say it would be safe at dawn? What’s wrong with this woman?]
[No, it should have happened at night, but we only found out in the morning... Holy shit! What the hell is going on with this villa!]
[Stop talking. I am now very glad that Sister Bai Shuang met Yan Shixun. Otherwise, I am really afraid that Sister Bai Shuang would be in this miserable state when she was found in the garden this morning.]
[Painful. I would pay a lot of money to have a pair of eyes that have not seen this scene. I feel like I won’t be able to sleep this month!]
The moment Yan Shixun walked out of Liu Yiyi's room carrying the bottle of wine, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
He raised his head quickly with eyes as sharp as lightning, and saw the old butler standing at the door of Bai Shuang's room on the other side of the third floor, looking at this side across the atrium.
After realizing that Yan Shixun had discovered him, the old butler smiled and bowed slightly. As if to express gratitude——
What a delicious meal.
Yan Shixun also grinned and responded with a sarcastic smile: Just wait, no matter how much you have eaten, I will make you spit it out exactly with interest.
"Liu Yiyi seems to be seriously injured."
Ding Qian, whose face turned pale with fear, asked hesitantly, "Don't we really need to call an ambulance? It won't be enough if it's just first aid."
Yan Shixun withdrew his gaze and looked at Ding Qian.
Because she was frightened when going up the mountain yesterday, Ding Qian stayed obediently in her room all night. Her room was next to Liu Yiyi's. Now seeing Liu Yiyi like this, she couldn't help but feel a chill from the soles of her feet and her heart was beating wildly with fear.
If the thing that made Liu Yiyi look so miserable last night had gone to her room a little more, then she...
Yan Shixun saw what Ding Qian was thinking from her uneasy expression: "Don't worry, I won't look for you. I'm looking for Liu Yiyi."
He raised his hand, indicating the bottle in his hand, and sneered: "You didn't joke that you were that thing, nor did you open the door and go out in the middle of the night to ask for 'red wine', why should I look for you?"
"Forget about the ambulance." Yan Shixun smiled coldly: "Where do you get the idea that we can leave Guishan unimpeded?"
Ding Qian breathed a sigh of relief at first, but was frightened by the question raised by Yan Shixun.
An absurd thought came to her mind: "Could it be..."
"Fuck you, I quit!"
Finally reacting to the shock, but when he checked his split screen on his phone, the actor, who knew what happened last night from the social platform, reacted violently.
He shook his head unconsciously and backed away, desperately trying to get away from Liu Yiyi in the room, his face pale and his pupils shrank in fear. It was not until his back hit the railing in the corridor that he suddenly came to his senses.
The male actor glared at Yan Shixun fiercely: "Okay, I finally understand, this show is scripted! What do you mean by forcing someone to join when there aren't enough talents? You are just a shill hired by the show, right? Do the production crew and the director think I am a fool? They fooled me like this! I can't stand it."
"Is it not okay if I don't join in? What a bunch of bullshit ghosts and weird things, they're all just acting! Do you think I don't know? I'm leaving now, you guys can scare people however you want, I won't keep you company!"
The actor gasped heavily, turned around, and angrily went downstairs and rushed towards the villa door.
It's just that although he spoke righteously, his back looked as if he was running away in fear.
Yan Shixun leaned leisurely on the corridor railing and said to the actor's back, "I advise you not to go down the mountain. You can't get out anyway, and you're asking for trouble - but you won't listen to me."
Although he said nice things, Yan Shixun had no intention of stopping the male actor.
With a "bang", the door of the villa was slammed back by the male actor.
Yan Shixun turned around and faced the questioning and frightened gazes of Bai Shuang and others.
He remembered what the old housekeeper said in the morning, and smiled meaningfully, "Since it said that the wind in the mountains is cold at night, we should stay in the villa. Then let's stay in the villa during the day."
