Chapter 76 Camping at Yueming Mountain (3)
[Zhong Gaoyi: (dumbfounded) Anti-prank?]
[Yi Chuheng: (smirking) Looks like Brother Mo Nan already has an idea.]
[Zheng Xingye: (Laughing sideways) Brother Mo Nan looks serious, but I didn't expect him to be so mean.]
[Xu Tingchuan: Tell me, how do you plan to play?]
[Jiang Mo Nan: We've all heard rumors about the zombies on Yueming Mountain during the day. I think the production team is most likely trying to scare us by pretending to be zombies. If that's the case, we can also artificially create supernatural events to scare them.]
[Sheng Yanyu: For example?]
[Jiang Mo Nan: After lights out, leave the tent and hide somewhere nearby so they can't find us. Think about it, if they come all this time to scare us, only to find we're gone, wouldn't they be shocked?]
[Zheng Xingye: (touching his chin) That’s a really good idea.]
[Jiang Mo Nan: It's not just about disappearing. At times like this, pretending to be a ghost and scaring the other person will definitely have a good effect.]
[Zheng Xingye: Playing a ghost? That sounds interesting. (Laughing sideways)]
[Zhong Gaoyi: How do we act? We don’t have any props.]
Because he had played a ghost in the haunted house in the amusement park yesterday, Zhong Gaoyi was no longer as resistant to this topic as before.
Bai Li replied in the group:
[Leave the ghost acting to me and Mo Nan, and you guys will be responsible for coordinating.]
[Xu Tingchuan: How to cooperate?]
[Jiang Mo Nan: When the people sent by the production team discovered that we were missing, you pretended to be terrified and ran out of the woods, falsely claiming to have encountered a supernatural event. As for the specific supernatural event, you can make it up as you please.]
Upon hearing this, the members immediately understood his prank idea.
Good god, he's trying to scare the production team!
[Jiang Mo Nan: Anyway, now it’s time to test your acting skills!]
[Zheng Xingye: (Sunglasses) Leave it to us!]
[Choi Joon-hee: Don't worry, I'm a professional actor! After all, I've watched thousands of dramas.]
[Zheng Xingye: …]
[Yi Chuheng: …]
[Sheng Yanyu:...]
Seeing Cui Junxi's solemn vow, Mo Bei was speechless.
What you watch are all melodramas, okay?
…
In the distant woods, the staff members dressed in white clothes and wigs breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that all the members had finally gotten into the tent.
Fortunately, it was not exposed.
If the members find out before the show even starts, how can we perform tonight?
In fact, the prank activities on the trip to Yueming Mountain were arranged by the program planner long ago.
A few months ago, rumors of zombies on Yueming Mountain were all over the internet. Although the official website has denied that these rumors are false, it did not stop the production team from using this as inspiration to stir up trouble in the group variety show.
Apart from anything else, it is still quite interesting to see him pretending to be a zombie and scaring the members.
The fully armed staff members lay quietly in the grass, and after killing the fifth mosquito, they finally waited until the lights in the distant tent went out.
Jiang Sheng finally felt relieved after making sure all the members were asleep. His paint-stained face revealed an excited smile.
The real show is finally about to begin.
After adjusting his wig in front of the phone screen and making sure that his makeup was not rubbed off, Jiang Sheng stood up from the grass.
"Everyone's asleep. Cameras one and two, ready, advance."
He just stretched out his hands straight and started jumping around in the woods like in a zombie movie.
But what he didn't know was that what was waiting for him next was not the terrified faces of the members, but a shadow that had been lingering in his heart for several days.
"Xiao Jiang, your current posture isn't stiff enough. A zombie's movements should be stiffer."
Hearing his colleague's reminder in the headphones, Jiang Sheng straightened his back and stretched his legs and arms as far as possible.
"What should we do next?"
"Should I go directly into the tent and scare the members? Or should I jump around outside the tent?"
"Will going in directly damage the zombie's character setting?"
As if asking his colleagues in the headphones, or as if talking to himself, Jiang Sheng muttered as he approached the camp.
However, this time there was no response from the headset.
strangeness……
Is the signal bad?
Confused, Jiang Sheng finally decided to make some noise around the camp to attract the members' attention.
“Rustle, rustle…”
The mountain forest is very quiet on summer nights. Besides the sounds of flowing streams and insects chirping, you can occasionally hear the sounds of small nocturnal animals foraging in the nearby bushes.
Now, a sudden muffled sound broke the silence that should have existed in the forest.
"Boom! Boom!"
It was hot and stuffy jumping around in the woods with a wig and a white robe, but he couldn't stop there because his mission was not yet completed.
Feeling irritated, Jiang Sheng looked suspiciously at the quiet tent not far away, his head full of questions.
He almost collapsed the land, why is there no response from inside?
Could it be that they were all fast asleep?
Jiang Sheng, who was tired of jumping around, felt that he couldn't go on like this anymore and he had to do something new.
Thinking of this, he stopped and stopped circling the camp and turned towards the tent.
Under the arrangement of the production team, the members lived in pairs in a tent, based on their dormitory roommates. He remembered that the green tent in front of him was occupied by Zhong Gaoyi and team leader Sheng Yanyu.
Zhong Gaoyi is the most fearful of all the members, and topics about ghosts and monsters are the most unacceptable to him. Scare him first and you'll definitely get the desired effect.
Jiang Sheng had a good idea, but reality did not develop as he expected.
Because when he approached the tent, he suddenly lifted the curtain and found that there was no one inside.
!!!
What’s going on? Where are the people???
Jiang Sheng, who was pretending to be a zombie, never imagined that the members had already discovered the production team's conspiracy. After turning off the lights, they sneaked out of the tent under the cover of night.
At this moment, they were hiding behind the bushes not far from the camp, watching the staff disguised as zombies frantically looking for people there.
In fact, the person he was looking for was not far away, but he had never found him.
Jiang Sheng didn't find Zhong Gaoyi and Sheng Yanyu in the tent. Unconvinced, he opened another tent next door, but it was still empty.
This also means that four living people disappeared one after another right under his nose!
For a moment, a feeling of fear suddenly surged in Jiang Sheng's heart.
"Oh no! They... they're all gone!"
In fear, he immediately contacted the production team who were observing in secret.
However, something even stranger happened.
No instructions came from his superiors on the other end of the headset. The only thing he could hear was the "zila zila..." busy tone that interfered with the signal.
Just like the scenes that often appear in horror movies, the protagonist tries to contact the outside world but the distress signal is blocked by some supernatural force.
Without any warning, he lost contact with the production team.
Fear was like an invisible net that enveloped Jiang Sheng's heart, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was shivering all over.
It was a hot summer day, but he felt that the sweat oozing out of his body was cool.
"Calm down, things might not be as bad as you think. The four of them might have just gone to the bathroom without me noticing..."
"Maybe the others are still sleeping in the tent?"
Comforting himself in this way, Jiang Sheng mustered up the courage to reach out and lift the curtain of the third tent.
This time the tent was not empty.
But at this moment Jiang Sheng wished it was empty.
Looking at the shrunken corpse in the tent, he finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and screamed out -
“Aa ...
Suddenly, they heard the scream of the "white zombie" not far away, and the members hiding behind the bushes were confused.
What's going on?
Could it be that Bai Li and Brother Mo Nan took action?
I don’t know what they did in the tent, it’s really curious.
After scaring away the staff pretending to be zombies, Mo Bei, who was lying on the ground, returned to his original appearance.
As he changed back into his clothes, the other members who were hiding in the bushes came out.
“Ahhhhhh—”
"Help! There's a ghost!"
Hearing the members' cries for help, Jiang Sheng's legs stumbled suddenly as he tried to avoid them.
He turned his head in confusion, only to see the members stumbling out of the woods with panic on their faces.
Seeing Jiang Sheng, the members who were originally looking for help suddenly fell silent.
“…Ghost, ghost!”
Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction to something scary, or perhaps it was simply an outburst of acting skills, but Zhong Gaoyi screamed half-seriously and half-fakely.
After him, the others also remembered to act scared and started shouting as well.
After finally meeting a few living people, Jiang Sheng naturally didn't dare to continue to scare the members, for fear of scaring them away.
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
He took off his wig and wiped off his makeup. "Look carefully, I'm not a ghost. I'm Xiao Jiang! Xiao Jiang, the assistant to the program director!"
Upon hearing this, the members who were still screaming stopped and looked at the man in front of them suspiciously.
After carefully examining the other person's face, Zheng Xingye suddenly realized, "It's really you, Xiao Jiang! Why are you dressed like this?"
Jiang Sheng coughed awkwardly, "Well... the director asked me to scare you."
Xu Tingchuan frowned, "The prank part?"
"Um."
Upon hearing this, the members felt relieved.
"What? It turns out they're all fake."
"I was scared to death just now."
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. But then he suddenly thought of something -
"Weren't you sleeping? Why did you run out of the woods?"
"We don't know either."
Zheng Xingye pretended to be confused and lied, "I woke up in the woods."
As he spoke, a hint of doubt appeared on his face: "Isn't this the prank you arranged?"
!!!
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
"No! The director just asked me to dress like this to scare you. There's nothing else planned..."
The more Jiang Sheng spoke, the more frightened he became. He suddenly remembered the zombie he had just seen in the tent, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He hurriedly told the others about his previous experience. When they learned that a zombie had appeared in the tent, the members looked incredulous.
Sheng Yanyu frowned, "Could it be that you saw it wrong?"
Zhong Gaoyi shrank back, "It's already this time, don't joke around, it's scary."
Seeing that the members didn't believe it, Jiang Sheng immediately took them back to the scene to check.
At this moment, the curtain of a tent in the distance was suddenly opened. Jiang Sheng was about to scream when he saw Jiang Mo Nan rubbing his eyes and sticking his head out to ask -
"What are you doing? You're not sleeping and making a lot of noise so late at night."
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng was stunned.
On the side, Zheng Xingye pretended to be surprised: "Brother Mo Nan, are you okay?"
"What do you mean nothing?" Bai Li came out of the tent right after him. "What are you guys making such a fuss so late at night? Can't you let me sleep?"
"Why are you in the tent?" Lei Lie cooperated and expressed his confusion.
"What a mess you're asking."
Bai Li frowned. "Where else can we sleep if not in the tent? And you guys, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Seeing the two of them looking puzzled, everyone immediately told each other what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Mo Bei and Bai Li's faces immediately showed a hint of surprise and suspicion -
"Is this true? Could it be that you two are deliberately colluding to deceive us?"
"Absolutely true!"
Zheng Xingye kept the previous arrangements in mind and played his role very professionally, "We all encountered it!"
"If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Jiang! He was originally arranged by the production team to scare us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have bumped into him!"
With the cooperation of the members, Jiang Sheng, who was originally sent by the program team to play a prank, was completely confused.
He nodded in a daze.
In fact, what just happened was so sudden and strange that he didn't have time to think deeply.
Could it be that he really encountered a supernatural event just now?
Feeling uneasy, Jiang Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the whole story to Mo Bei and the others again.
After learning that the other party had just found a zombie in the tent, Mo Bei and Bai Li immediately showed expressions of horror.
"Are the rumors about the zombies on Yueming Mountain true?"
Jiang Sheng didn't know whether the rumors were true or not. Accompanied by his members, he went back to check all the tents, but no zombies were found.
Zhong Gaoyi felt relieved: "You must have been too frightened and saw it wrongly, right?"
Jiang Sheng said nothing.
In fact, he didn't know whether what he saw at that time was real or an illusion.
Maybe he should ask the other crew members. They installed a GoPro nearby and they should have captured something...
Thinking this way, he tried to contact other people in the production team. However, as soon as he opened his phone, he received a WeChat message from the director:
"The signal from the headphones just now suddenly cut off."
"Xiao Jiang, don't rush into action. The members just sneaked out."
Jiang Sheng: “…”
Jiang Sheng: “???”
Did the members just sneak out?
After being stunned for a moment, he looked at the boys in front of him, feeling a little confused.
Seeing that the truth was revealed, the members looked at each other and burst into laughter.
This scene made Jiang Sheng even more confused.
What is going on?
Seeing that the poor staff in front of him was kept in the dark, Lei Lie couldn't bear it and explained the whole thing.
"In fact, Bai Li and Zheng Xingye had seen you in the woods before, and we guessed that the production team wanted to play a trick on you. So Brother Mo Nan came up with a plan to turn the tables."
"After lights out, a few of us sneaked out, leaving only Bai Li and Mo Nan. As for the zombies you saw in the tent just now... I guess they were the work of Mo Nan and Bai Li."
Mo Bei coughed and explained half-truthfully, "Yesterday when I was working in the haunted house, I saw my boss putting on zombie makeup, so I simply copied it."
"But my skills are limited, and I can't draw as well as he does. If it weren't for the darkness, it would have been easy to reveal my true identity just now."
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng was stunned.
So everything that just happened was actually planned by them?
