midnight
The dormitory villa has three main floors, and the attic is an extra "fourth floor" that is only half the size of an ordinary floor. From the outside, it looks like a protruding decorative roof.
The interior space is narrow and one needs to use a wooden ladder to climb up. Just now, Wu Rui got her hands covered in dust when she climbed the ladder.
After coming up, there is a long and narrow corridor in front of you, and the window next to it overlooks the back mountain. The only door looks ordinary, with an electronic lock on the door handle. I don’t know if there is a password set.
Do you want to open it now?
——The backstage staff added this text bubble above Wu Rui’s head, which is also the voice of all the audience now.
[Actually, I've been thinking, is it really okay to explore randomly? And the people are separated. As we all know, the law in horror movies is that if a person acts alone, something bad will happen! ]
[But Director Shang, no, didn’t the dormitory manager ask us to explore? I think it should be fine during the day... If we don’t explore, how can we unlock these areas? ]
There were disagreements in the comments. At the same time, Rong Qing and others on the first to third floors were also in doubt.
Because some rooms are locked, and the door locks have puzzles and small mechanisms. There is a warning sign next to one of the doors, saying [Do not open outside the specified time] - this room is a dance studio.
Wu Rui hesitated for a moment and decided to ask her "lover".
"Honey, I can't seem to open this door," she said. "Would you come up and help me?"
[666, I never thought I could ask NPC for help. ]
[Wow, this is great. Even if the other party doesn't agree, you can still test their attitude and infer information. As expected of an actor who has played the leading role in the Infinite Stream! ]
The clown was still at the bottom of the ladder and hadn't climbed up because he said the space in the attic was too small and too cramped for two people.
Wu Rui looked down at him, her smile filled with distress, and the two of them were competing with each other in acting at this moment.
"It doesn't matter if the door can't be opened." The clown coughed a few times, covering his nose as if he was choked by dust. "It's too dirty up there. I don't want to get my clothes dirty."
Wu Rui: "Won't the dormitory manager find out that we are slacking off?"
"No. She doesn't want to go to such a dirty place." The other party said, waving his hand, and his tone was relaxed and casual, "Okay, come down quickly, it's all dusty, I'll wipe your hands for you."
The NPC played by the clown actor this time has a bit of a fussy personality, so it's not out of place to say this. It's just...
Is it that he doesn't want to come up because it's dirty, or is it that he "can't come up"?
Also, he said that “the dormitory manager was unwilling to go up”... To what extent is this “unwilling”?
With these few words, Wu Rui successfully extracted some information, and the audience now at least knows that the managers in the villa are indeed quite averse to attics.
Second floor.
The program's settings are quite detailed. The "official" has taken into consideration that the guests of the "dating show" may have professions such as singers and dancers, and has equipped the second floor with functional rooms such as a gym, dance studio, and recording studio.
Qu Licong was rather reckless, and relying on his more than one heart, he boldly opened the door of the dance studio, and even used violent means to pry the lock open - even though the lock was already covered in rust and broke easily.
[Hahaha, I originally thought that Teacher Qu had a cold personality like a deep-sea mermaid, but I didn't expect him to be so fierce! ]
[It feels like Wu Rui got Lan Qing's script, and Qu Li got Hua Jiangjun's script. I am dying of laughter.]
[Why isn't it a mermaid? It's the fierce mermaid from "Mobius Ocean" (dog head).]
[Seeing the recording equipment makes me want to listen to Lili singing again. When will our mermaid voice king make a comeback? QAQ]
The dance studio had obviously not been used for a long time. There was a thick layer of dust on the floor, and things like yoga mats were scattered all over the floor. The equipment from the recording studio next door was also scattered over there.
Qu Li turned on the light, and the cold light suddenly poured onto the wooden floor. The mirrors on the four walls reflected her and her partner.
"...hiss." Qu Li took a deep breath. After watching "Oil Painting Woman", it is inevitable that she will have a psychological shadow on mirrors. Moreover, the mirrors here also overlap and reflect the appearance of countless corridors.
Her matchmaker asked with concern: "Are you cold, sister? Let me take off my coat for you."
Qu Li hesitated for a moment, took the coat and put it on, feeling emotional: It's true, the other party played the role of the younger boy really well. If it was a real romance variety show, she might not mind cooperating with the hype.
There was also a piece of paper pasted on the wall of the dance studio, but the rules on it made Qu Li feel a chill down her spine.
Dance Studio Rules:
1. The dance studio is under closed management, and the cloakroom windows must not be opened to prevent dirty 【】【】 (crossed out) from entering;
2. The floor must be kept clean. You must change into dance shoes or indoor shoes before entering the dance studio;
3. The dance room is well lit. It is forbidden to light or use candles in the room (crossed out, changed to: Please make sure you hold candles while in the room);
4. Do not touch the mirror with dirty hands and feet, and do not scribble or draw in the dance studio. If you see writing on the mirror in the dance studio, please do not panic and contact the staff in black clothes immediately.
[Fuck, the rules of this dance studio seem to be more brutal than the others! ]
[Ahhhh what should I do? I have already violated the rules! Help, this is so scary! ]
[This is the second time that the "staff in black" appears! But so far we have only seen the staff in pink. ]
[There are no black-clad staff on the other floors either, and the whole villa is filled with pink, pink, and pink. Are they in the back hills? ]
The barrage was full of shouts, with a few analyses in between. Qu Li looked down at herself silently—she wasn't wearing dance shoes or indoor shoes, and she didn't have a candle in her hand.
Does it have to be a candle? Would a flashlight from a computer be enough?
She immediately left the dance studio and closed the door again, but she was still sweating profusely on her back.
What happens if I break the rules? Damn it, I won't be able to close my eyes tonight...
In the purple mist, the star port.
"How could you be so careless!"
Hua Feitian couldn't help but blurt out something, and after noticing the gazes around her, she quickly coughed and pretended that she was on the phone.
She wished she could go and explore on Qu Li's behalf. She would definitely not be so reckless.
...No, how could I have such an idea? Hua Feitian came to her senses and wondered what she was thinking while participating in Shang Jingyan's show!
But she couldn't help thinking that if she had a good relationship with Shang Jingyan, she would definitely receive an invitation.
Thinking about this, Hua Feitian was actually a little confused. Thinking back carefully, she had never been invited by friends in the industry to participate in a variety show.
She became famous at a young age and has been in the industry for so many years without a single friend. She has long been accustomed to the attitude of "looking down on all of you."
"...Do you like "Light Years of Love Song"? Do you like Director Shang? I have a channel to contact the production team..."
A voice interrupted Hua Feitian's thoughts. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few men and women dressed suspiciously wandering around the exit.
As an insider, she identified the other party's identity at a glance: a scalper.
Hua Feitian was very shocked, there were actually scalpers! ?
Although it is very unethical, the emergence of scalpers can also reflect the popularity of "Light Years Love Song" from the side. A variety show that no one cares about will certainly not breed these middlemen who use popularity to make money.
But, these people actually said that they could contact Shang Jingyan? Could it be that they have relatives in the crew?
When the scalpers saw Hua Feitian stop, they came over and said mysteriously: "My friend, I have a channel that can let you meet the crew in advance. I will do it for 100 star coins per person, how about it?"
The two passers-by tourists beside her were obviously tempted. After a brief exchange, they were quickly fooled into handing over two hundred star coins.
Hua Feitian: “…”
Sure enough, when the authorities relax their vigilance at the end of the year, the travel environment for these big travel stars will be extremely dangerous.
"What about this customer?" After collecting the money, the scalper tried to solicit customers again.
Hua Feitian said coldly: "No."
But she was still a little curious, so she followed the three of them.
The public transportation in Ziwuli is well developed and smooth, and Hua Feitian did not lose him all the way and followed him to the vicinity of the filming location.
Then, she witnessed an operation that stunned her -
It turned out that Huang Niu's yard was very close to the back hill of the villa, just below the side of one of the small cliffs. His so-called "channel" was to go straight from the path here to the back door of the villa.
The path must have been opened up recently, as the cut grass roots are still emitting a fragrant scent.
"Hurry up, climb quickly." Huang Niu urged while sneaking around and watching. "According to my observation, the crew will come out of the back door of the villa every day to buy food. You can run into them and take the opportunity to ask for their autographs."
Two tourists: “…”
The two tourists were sweating profusely: "What if we are discovered?!"
The scalper said bluntly: "You were taken to the security room, but you also saw the crew, right? Be thick-skinned, and the autographs are yours."
Hua Feitian: “…”
This is the channel you are talking about!
She was speechless and turned away again.
As she walked, she thought: Should I tell Shang Jingyan about this? Let her clean up the atmosphere around her...
Well, this is a reasonable statement, and you can also laugh at the other party's negligence. It is not a deliberate attempt to find a topic!
Hua Fei Dessert opened his brain, and in order not to appear too anxious, he prepared to play "Shan Hai Tu Ben" for a while. This place is sparsely populated, with only a few local residents, so the monsters must be refreshed more often.
In the list, the IP of "Don't write west, south, and north" has not been transferred to Purple Mist yet, and no one knows when it will be transferred.
Through the "Shanhai" virtual glasses, you can see many silver-white monsters hovering in the air, and the level signs above their heads are basically [Lv.2].
If you look closely, you'll find that they look like little flower fairies, with slender limbs, human-like faces, and two pairs of wings made of silver threads on their backs.
They are one of the few humanoid monsters in the game, and the smallest one, and are obviously based on the characteristic species in Purple Mist. The original name of the prototype is too difficult to pronounce, and now many people call it "Wild Fire Butterfly".
While living in the Purple Mist and preparing for "Light Years Love Song", fans discovered that some monsters inspired by local species in the Purple Mist also appeared in Director Shang's "Shan Hai Tu Ben".
This Easter egg-like design made fans very excited. Not long ago, everyone set up a tag called #Invite Director Shang to collect materials#, hoping that she would come to their hometown to collect materials.
Hua Feitian was obsessed with catching ghost fire butterflies and walked very slowly. Before she knew it, she had arrived near the foot of the mountain.
Then suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
Black hair, black-framed glasses, casual T-shirt and slippers - it was actually Ao Qingxue from Shang Jingyan's team!
The two met on a narrow road and looked at each other in bewilderment. Ao Qingxue was the first to react: "Are you a tourist who was deceived by scalpers? Most tourists would not walk here... Hey, don't run, I don't eat people!"
Hua Feitian turned and left, and ran even faster after hearing the words.
Just kidding, if who she was was discovered, she couldn't imagine what the news would say!
Ao Qingxue was carrying a bunch of painting supplies on his back. After chasing for a few steps without catching up, he had no choice but to stop.
She came here to sketch because she had nothing to do. Most of the designs for this variety show were completed independently by Shang Jingyan, and the crew gave her advice and cooperation, so she and Yun Yongxue suddenly had some free time.
Yanyan also asked her if she wanted to appear on the variety show together, but Ao Qingxue thought about it and felt that she still preferred to stay behind the scenes, so she refused.
However, she decided to return to her old job as a host, follow the live broadcast with her fans, and make a few more videos about "Light Years Love Song" and rule-related weird stories.
Since restarting her career as a dream builder, Ao Qingxue hasn't logged into the anchor account [青色雪] for a long time. The joy of work has made her feel fulfilled and satisfied.
But since she had nothing to do and her original fans wanted her to broadcast, she decided to take some time off. The pictures she drew this time will also be used as material for the video.
Since she is also Shang Jingyan's teammate, these videos are also semi-official in nature. Ao Qingxue also decided to interview Yanyan and let her talk about her creative ideas.
It was getting dark now, and the tourist had disappeared. Ao Qingxue looked out for a while, feeling speechless about the scalping phenomenon, and decided to write about it in a video to urge the authorities to rectify the situation.
But...why did that person just now seem a little familiar?
This thought passed by her mind quickly and she didn't take it too seriously.
A day of sketching has ended, and Ao Qingxue returned to the backstage area of the villa.
The guests’ exploration was over. Although it was not yet the time for dormitory checks as stipulated in the rules, everyone was extra cautious as it was getting dark.
On this day, the four of them cleaned the three floors of the villa and took a general look at the garden in front, but they had not yet visited the back mountain. Although the street lights on the back mountain would automatically light up at night, it was still very creepy to look at, so they all thought it would be best to explore it during the day when the sun was clear.
Soon, the time after dinner passed by in a flash. This part of the show was relatively peaceful, and the number of viewers gradually decreased. Interestingly, if it was an ordinary love variety show, the number of viewers would be the largest at this time - everyone wanted to see how the lovers would get along after a day of activities and whether their relationship would be enhanced.
However, the opposite was true for "Light Years Love Song". When it was time to go to bed, the number of viewers suddenly began to rise again. When it was almost midnight, it was almost the same as the peak during the day.
[There are so many people.jpg Are you all night owls? ]
[I feel relieved to see that everyone is as wicked as I am. I also want to see if anything will happen to Mr. Qu who did something stupid during the day (dog head).]
Ao Qingxue opened her live broadcast room at this time.
"Hello everyone, I am your Qing Se Xue~ From today until the end of "Light Years Love Song", we will resume the tradition of midnight live broadcast."
"Light Years Love Song" has a special nature. After all, horror is most atmospheric at night, so the program team is considering whether to adjust the official broadcast time range, from 0:00 to 0:00, to 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 the next day.
Ao Qingxue did not give any prior notice, but there were still a lot of comments, and they were all bombarded by the notification that she had started the live broadcast, and the screen was filled with gifts.
[Oh my god, what a good day tonight is! The missing people have returned! ! ]
[Where has the anchor gone? You've been missing for a long time. I miss you so much. ]
[Hahaha, didn’t you know the previous one? 2G network speed! The anchor succeeded in chasing stars (doge), and is now Director Shang’s teammate! ]
[Ahh, that’s great. Without you, Xiaoxue, and everyone in the live studio, I really wouldn’t dare to watch the midnight live broadcast QAQ]
She greeted several familiar audience members, and at the same time, changes occurred in the variety show's screen.
