Chapter 39 Chapter 39 (Two in One) Bai Mu Ning sat in the middle of the night...
"What's the meaning……"
Chen Rui's brain reacted slowly. Although he didn't understand, he had a mouth to ask.
Bai Qingqing stepped forward and explained, "Someone died there before, but their souls are no longer there. They had deep resentment when they died. What you just saw was the resentment at that time, which was made visible by Zan Fang's spell. It's not a ghost."
Bai Qingqing spoke seriously, and it was obvious that he was not dazzled, but that several people present saw it.
It was the first time that Chen Ruihao saw the scenes in movies and TV shows happen in reality, and his whole scalp was tingling.
He could sense that Bai Qingqing had used a simple way to explain things so that he could understand, but he became even more confused.
When leaving, he was still looking at Taoist Zan downstairs, following behind Bai Qingqing, feeling both excited and scared. He did not look away until he had walked far away.
Chen Ruihao: "Why did you pat me on the head just now?"
Bai Qingqing smiled: "To prevent our group from being eliminated."
The two figures disappeared from sight.
Zan Fang slowly withdrew his gaze, with Bai Qingqing's words "What a pity" still lingering in his ears, and pursed his lips.
He sensed the aura of the Purifying Mantra not far away.
The first time we met, this young lady from the Bai family used a priceless thunder and fire talisman. This time, she casually used a high-quality meditation talisman. No wonder she dared to take the identity of a mysterious master in the show. It seems that she has a lot of magical instruments on her as collateral.
During a brief thought, the two people who were on the second floor just now had already come down the stairs and were passing the corridor of the second courtyard opposite them.
The two sides stared at each other from a distance. Bai Qingqing's gaze lingered behind him for a moment, then she looked at him again, retracted her gaze, and quickly disappeared from their sight again.
Zan Fang looked at the direction they were leaving and said to Bao Zishi behind him, "Let's go too."
Bao Zishi's face was still pale, and he hadn't recovered from the shock of what he had just seen. He noticed the state of Taoist Master Zan, and felt that suddenly, Taoist Master Zan's will to fight became stronger.
Bao Zishi asked: "Is what just happened over?"
Zan Fang: "Well, there are indeed some wronged souls in this house, and their grudges are very strong, but they are probably not the earthbound spirits that have been witnessed by people. Let's look for them again."
Bao Zishi had seen the Taoist priest's ability before, so he had no doubts about it. He just asked the next step: "What should we do after we find it?"
Zan Fang: "Help her to be reborn."
Bao Zishi nodded and continued to follow Taoist Zan Fang.
The program had been recorded for more than three hours since they got off the car. Master Zan was very dedicated and rigorous. He started looking around as soon as he entered the door of the old house.
The program team gave the guests information about their identities and laid clues in the room, but Taoist Zan seemed to prefer to use his expertise to judge personally.
They ran up and down the stairs of the entire three-story mansion twice, checking every room and every corner, and they had hardly stopped until now.
In just a few hours, Baozi felt that he might have already ranked first in the number of steps among his friends.
He was born into a boxing family and had very good physical strength. Even after retiring, he still maintained the habit of exercising. This amount of activity was not a big deal, but today, for some reason, he felt a little tired.
His hotpot restaurant recently opened seven more branches, all of which he monitors.
Bao Zishi felt that he might have been running back and forth between the hotel and the filming set recently, and had been working too many all-nighters, so he didn't get enough rest. It seemed that he would have to rest for two days after finishing this episode.
Zan Fang's pace was faster than before, and he didn't seem tired at all, and he headed in the direction that Bai Qingqing and the others had come from.
Partial room.
As soon as Bai Qingqing entered the room, she saw her own photos on the table. She easily found "her" bed and sat down in front of the bedside table.
Chen Rui came in behind her, picked up the photo on the table and looked at it closely, then gestured to Bai Qingqing.
The girl in the photo had slender limbs, her clothes seemed a little empty, her skin was very dark, and she was wearing a maid's uniform of very pure pink color, which was quite... eye-catching.
Chen Rui narrowed his eyes, thinking that the photographer had made Bai Qingqing look ugly.
She was much prettier in person.
Unlike the hostess's photo, her photo is much clearer. Chen Ruihao hasn't gone to his room yet. It is estimated that the structure is similar to here, and there will also be a photo of him on the table.
Chen Ruihao: "How is it, any clues?"
Bai Qingqing was opening the drawers one by one.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few papers and thread-bound thin books inside, with elegant pen writing or black brush calligraphy with neat strokes, which obviously were written by many people.
Bai Qingqing flipped through them quickly, just passing them through her eyes, and quickly sorted them out, handed them to Chen Ruihao, and smiled: "These are all props prepared by the program team, there is nothing to refer to."
In this old house, old objects have been carefully sorted and organized, and the props prepared by the program team are also full of details.
Obviously, they did a lot of research beforehand and must have put in a lot of effort.
But Bai Qingqing didn't believe that they already knew the "truth".
In that case, she doesn't need anyone else's assumptions.
"There are so many medical records. Bai Xiaohong, are you sick?"
They had been studying the old house, the master and mistress, and the mysterious figure she had witnessed. Chen Ruihao had not expected Bai Qingqing to have such an important role, and there was even a thick stack of medical records. The time period was not long, only about two months.
She seemed to have fallen ill suddenly and died suddenly.
"Xiaohong's" notebook initially contained her daily memos, recording many things she had to do every day, and later it became mainly a diary.
There were also a few photos included, which were photos of her and the hostess.
The two have a deep bond and although the photo shows an obvious subordinate relationship, judging by their expressions and postures, they look more like sisters.
"Well, it is said that I am mentally ill. Ever since I saw the mysterious figure, I often ask other people if they can see him. But it seems that I am the only one in the family who can see him."
"The lady recommended a doctor to me and asked me to see a doctor. These are what the doctor she introduced prescribed."
Bai Qingqing propped herself on the bed with both hands, looked up at Chen Ruihao, whose face had turned solemn, and said her last words: "See, there are only two months left."
"After two months, there are no new records. I must be dead."
The lights in the entire old house were dim and the colors were strange. The servants' room was no exception. Compared to the bright red and festive light outside, the lights in the servants' room were even dimmer, making Bai Qingqing's face look gray.
She said "I'm dead" so naturally.
Chen Ruihao's heart beat slowly, his hands and feet became cold and numb, he froze in place, and his back felt cold.
In this side room, it seemed like there were only two of them.
At this moment, Chen Rui really wanted to escape.
Even if this is a real-life escape room game built by humans, it would be difficult for players to say such words so naturally!
What's more, this is the real old house where the incident happened, and someone really died here. They just saw the wronged soul in the front yard!
Chen Ruihao screamed in his heart and frantically comforted himself that everything was okay.
There are cameras in every corner of the house.
Just as Bai Qingqing said this, he saw a camera turn around and take a close-up of the paper in his hand.
It’s okay, it’s okay, everyone is here.
Chen Rui touched his microphone, and pressed the amulet on his chest through his clothes.
This series of moves brought a touch of warmth to the fans in the live broadcast room.
[It takes a lot of courage to participate in this show. I declare that "Heart Signal" is the ceiling of escape room variety shows! (Personal version, don't argue, if you argue, you are right) It's too exciting! ]
[Bai Qingqing is so scary, she almost scared me to death]
[I feel sorry for Chen Haohao hhhh]
[Did you notice that after Bai Xiaohong tapped Ruirui on the head, Ruirui's heart rate never went above 130? Now it's only 127? ? ]
[Perhaps... Has anyone noticed that Bai Qingqing's heart rate has always been around 60? There is basically no fluctuation.]
[Oh my god, I'm starting to believe that woman is really capable.]
[I am so anxious. What kind of resentment did they see just now? I can't see it at all!]
[Let’s wait for the edited version in a few days. The footage should be more complete. I just don’t know if the camera can capture the supernatural things.]
[The information Bai Qingqing provided! It matches the version I've seen!
That version is: Legend has it that there was a lovelorn woman who was abandoned by a heartless man. On the day of the heartless man's wedding, she went to make trouble at the wedding, but she saw that the bride was a thousand times more beautiful than her! So the lovelorn woman cut her throat with the glass of the dressing mirror, and her soul was trapped in the mirror.]
[Afterwards, the mirror will randomly appear in the newlyweds' bridal chamber. On the wedding day, it will take over the bride's body and kill the groom, avenging the unfaithful man for what he did!]
[Eh? It's really different from the version I watched. The one I watched was that the woman's fiancé died and she became a widow, so she possessed herself in the mirror and looked for the reincarnation of her husband to replace the real bride and continue their previous relationship.]
[So friends, no matter which version! The mirror is the key!]
[By the way, since Xiao Hong was the only one who saw the mysterious figure, are we so sure that... the problem lies with the master, not Xiao Hong...]
[I suddenly got goosebumps!]
[Wow, my Chen Haohao, you are so timid, and you are so bold right at the beginning, if we can't do it, we should run away!]
[Why are you running? This is a variety show, not a scripted killing scene. There won’t be a plot-based killing scene?]
There were more than 6,000 people in the live broadcast room, and the discussion was heated.
Countless people lay in bed holding their mobile phones, silently tucking their feet into the quilt.
Just when I was feeling nervous, I suddenly heard a loud "ding dong" from my cell phone.
"It's time to go to bed. Please gather in the main hall."
The broadcast sounded twice, and everyone's heartbeat was startled by the loud noise. Even Zan Fang and Bai Qingqing's heartbeats fluctuated.
Chen Rui was so frightened that he flew off the spot and instantly rushed to Bai Qingqing's side. Now he didn't think she was scary anymore. He restrained himself and only grabbed one of her arms, still in shock: "Qing... Sister Qing, what does the broadcast mean?"
Bai Qingqing wanted to pull his hand away.
But he held it too tightly. Bai Qingqing tried twice, but it didn't move at all, and her hands were obviously still shaking.
Bai Qingqing: "...That is, you should go to bed now."
Chen Ruihao: "Sleep?"
Chen Rui's voice changed, and his eyes became more terrified. Now the Calming Heart Technique didn't work, and his heart was pounding: "Where is it?!"
"Here, of course."
…
Central hall.
Six guests gathered together, and everyone looked unhappy. It was obvious that they had some guesses about the "bedtime" mentioned on the broadcast.
Sure enough, the facts were as expected. Director Wu asked them to choose a room that suited their status to sleep in.
After hearing what the director meant, no one moved for a moment.
Chen Ruihao and Bao Zishi were both servants, and they slept together in the side room.
Bai Muning and Pu Yueling are husband and wife, so they naturally went to the master bedroom. However, the prior plot of this young couple stated that two people had died in the master bedroom, and the two girls' faces were pale.
Zan Fang is an accountant and sleeps alone.
Bai Qingqing was the only maid present, and she was also alone.
But the two people who were about to be alone were the ones with the most natural expressions in the whole audience.
The other four people touched the amulet given by the program team at the same time. It was a small triangular yellow amulet, not even as big as a palm, and it did not bring much sense of security at all.
The gathering time was notified at 11:00 p.m., and it was almost midnight...
The most hesitant ones were Pu Yueling and Bai Muning. Bai Muning looked at Pu Yueling's unhappy face and reached out to hold her hand.
The other person's hands were even colder than hers.
Bai Mu Ning forced a smile to comfort her.
Since the program crew has set it up this way, the progress must be pushed forward for the sake of filming. Bai Muning actually doesn't really believe in gods and ghosts. He thinks the program crew just found such a place for them for the sake of effect.
She is well versed in variety show routines.
The program crew suddenly did this in the middle of the night just to test the courage of the guests and add to the highlights.
There’s no telling what solo missions there might be in the middle of the night.
Thinking of this, her nervous heart calmed down a lot.
Bai Muning gently tugged at Pu Yueling's hand, "Let's go, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
The western clock in the hall is about to point to twelve o'clock.
Pu Yueling: “…Okay.”
If you stick your head out, you will be in danger. If you hide your head, you will also be in danger. Pu Yueling heard that the program team had invited a very powerful master of metaphysics to escort the guests throughout the process, and there was also a medical team following. She didn't believe that the program team would ignore the guests if they really encountered danger.
There are two people in their group, which is the greatest safety.
Bai Ling's group was the first to leave together and head towards the master bedroom.
[Oh my god, Ning Mei is so brave! I was scared to tears on the spot, okay! ! ]
[My mood changed so quickly! What kind of education can nurture such a strong heart? I love Ning Mei even more! So touching!!]
[My sister is the real heroine! ]
[Our sister has a stable mood like Capybara, hehe, steal rua~]
[I still think the program grouping is unreasonable. Those who are left alone are all super-powerful people, and the two male groups who are together are blank slates. If something really happens, there will be no one to protect them.]
[Although, how could there really be a ghost hhh, everyone is so sincere when watching the Hyunjong series]
[+1, this is all scripted, this is just a large escape room]
[I bet a bottle of Coke that I will definitely pick a guest to assign a solo mission to in the evening.]
[I have two devices open at the same time. Just now in the live broadcast room next door, Taoist Master Zan made the wronged souls appear, and several guests saw it.]
[hhhhh little sister is so cute]
[ (funny) (funny) ]
After Bai Ling and the other person left, Zan Fang quickly got up. He had just gotten very familiar with the house and knew where his room was.
Chen Rui panicked for a moment and leaned close to Bao Zishi.
Both of them are blank slates and live in the most remote place...
Chen Ruihao looked at Bai Qingqing with affectionate eyes: "Sister Qing, the director just said that the choice of room should be consistent with the identity and the plot. Otherwise, we can secretly date each other and meet in the middle of the night."
Bao Zishi: “Ahem…”
Baozi was really shocked. He didn't know if Chen Ruihao was scared or took his words seriously. He felt like a light bulb and silently took a step away from Chen Ruihao.
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes and didn't bother to reply him. She followed in the direction of Pu Yueling and Bai Muning.
Chen Ruihao knew that she was refusing.
Sadly, she followed in the direction where Bao Zishi took a step back and said, "Mr. Bao, please take care of me tonight."
*
Second floor.
Bai Qingqing quickened her pace, walked around Bai Ling and the other person, and stopped them at the door of the study.
The two people decided to arrange a plot for themselves. The groom stayed up all night in the study for work, and the bride stayed up all night with him. It was very reasonable.
The study and the master bedroom are close to each other, so if the program crew really arranges any plot or tasks, they will not miss it.
But unexpectedly, Bai Qingqing stopped them at the door.
Bai Qingqing: "It's late, please go back to your room and rest early, Master and Madam."
She said it so naturally that Pu Yueling was stunned for a moment, thinking that Bai Qingqing had accepted some mission.
Bai Muning felt that this didn't seem like the arrangement of the program team. It seemed like she wanted to do it herself. She looked a little helpless: "Sister Qingqing..."
She covered the microphone and lowered her voice. She took a step forward and leaned in front of Bai Qingqing, like she was trying to comfort a naughty child: "We are recording a show after all."
Pu Yueling was a little surprised. She had never heard of Bai Qingqing's name in the circle before, and she didn't expect that the two of them knew each other privately.
But then I thought that both of them had the surname Bai, and I felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
It's just that the two of them had such a big difference in appearance and temperament, and they basically didn't communicate on the show, so she didn't think about it for a while.
Bai Muning stood back after he finished speaking.
Bai Qingqing smiled politely, without moving an inch: "It's late, Master and Madam, please go back to your room and rest early."
Bai Muning didn't know what to do and looked helpless.
Pu Yueling noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right. They were probably not old friends, but enemies. She smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Mu Ning, let's go back to our room and sleep."
Bai Muning bit his lip and nodded in agreement. He held Pu Yueling's hand and went to the bedroom.
The atmosphere was silent. Pu Yueling smiled awkwardly as she walked into the room and smiled at Bai Qingqing: "Then Qingqing, let's go to sleep."
Bai Qingqing still smiled politely, the curve of her lips remained unchanged, and then she stepped into the house and closed the door behind her: "I am the young lady's maid, so of course I have to rest with you. Please get on the bed, young lady."
Bai Muning didn't expect Bai Qingqing to not hide anything in front of the camera.
Pu Yueling suddenly reacted and laughed in her heart.
I didn't expect Qingqing would be afraid.
But in such an old house, she, a girl, was afraid to sleep in the side room. Pu Yueling was afraid that she would lose face, so she took the initiative to sit on the bed and invited Bai Muning and Bai Qingqing: "Then stay and sleep together!"
Bai Muning's body froze. He didn't expect Pu Yueling to accept it so quickly. But they had always gotten along well on the show, so it was understandable that Yueling would be like this, and she herself... had no reason to refuse.
Bai Muning looked at the old-fashioned step-out bed in front of him, and the several mandarin duck quilts stacked on the side. He was unable to move his feet, his face looked grim, and he couldn't even smile.
Pu Yueling saw that Bai Muning was also afraid.
She was about to say something to ease the atmosphere when she saw Bai Qingqing grab Bai Mu Ning's arm, still with a polite and faint smile on her face, and pushed her to the bedside and pushed her down.
Bai Muning couldn't resist at all and was pushed to sit on the bed by her. He looked horrified and stared at Bai Qingqing with wide eyes.
I didn't expect that she would actually do this in front of the camera?
This is a live broadcast!
Even if she didn't know how much of an impact her behavior would have in front of the camera, wasn't Bai Qingqing worried that her parents and brothers would have opinions about her after seeing the show?
The abnormal behavior of the two made Pu Yueling shut up silently.
Feeling that this was not the time for her to speak, she silently moved towards the bed.
In fact, once you make up your mind and actually sit on the bed, you will feel much better about it.
Pu Yueling glanced at the camera in the corner above the bed, comforted herself, and sat down against the wall, leaving the space outside empty.
If we squeeze together, three people can still sleep there.
Isn't it better for three people to sleep in this room than just her and Bai Muning?
There was space outside the bed, so Bai Qingqing pushed Bai Mu Ning's shoulders and pushed her down on the bed.
The cool, damp chill of the mattress instantly penetrated the thin fabric and stuck to my entire back, as if it was trying to drill into my bones.
Bai Muning screamed in her heart, and her heartbeat on her wrist rose wildly, vibrating repeatedly. She could no longer control her expression, revealing fear, and shouted: "Bai Qingqing, what are you doing!"
"It's almost twelve o'clock, of course it's time to go to bed."
Bai Qingqing pushed Bai Muning down on the bed, then let go of his hand and stood up.
Bai Muning lay there, but did not dare to get up again.
She had a feeling that if she stood up, Bai Qingqing, the psychopath, would be able to push her down again.
She just stared blankly at Bai Qingqing as she turned her head. Her eyes swept around the room, then she moved a drum stool from under the table, placed it beside the bed, and sat down.
The bed curtains were not drawn and the lights in the room were not turned off.
The electric red candles were still emitting an eerie red light.
Pu Yueling and Bai Muning lay on the bed staring at each other. After the shock of fear, their minds were filled with confusion.
The two people's heartbeats gradually subsided unconsciously. They looked towards the side of the bed and saw Bai Qingqing's back.
Bai Qingqing leaned against the bedpost with her arms around her chest, sitting steadily. They couldn't see Bai Qingqing's face, but they felt that she probably wanted to sit by the bed like this all night.
Just like a real maid in the past...
Bai Qingqing's live broadcast room.
From the audience's perspective, Bai Qingqing had already closed her eyes, as if she was really sleeping.
[Awesome, I totally don’t understand her train of thought.]
[Bai Mu Ning sat up in the middle of the night: No, she is sick!]
[So, she pushed Chen Ruihao away and found someone to sleep with?]
[Bai Qingqing's style is completely different from hers. I just left a step late, but I didn't expect to be locked in her live broadcast room. I didn't expect her style to be so funny before I stayed.]
[She is the only maid. If she really goes to the servants' room, she will sleep alone. In fact, it would be better for the three girls to be together, right?]
[You can’t push someone onto the bed! This is a bed where a dead person slept!]
[+1, didn’t Ning Mei and Yue Ling agree? You are so young, but you are so vicious]
[What is this woman's background? Does anyone know her? She is so rude, she must not know who Ning Mei is...]
[That’s right, Mu Ning took the initiative to share information before, but she didn’t want to. Now she’s posting it here. If she has the guts, just continue to do it alone.]
[Oh my god, I can’t stand her anymore, people like her should quit the show immediately, get lost!]
The three female guests' live broadcast rooms were already in an uproar, with all their firepower focused on Bai Qingqing.
The protagonist had no idea, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He leaned against the bedpost, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for twelve o'clock.
The other side.
Partial room.
Chen Ruihao got up and down on the bed, causing the bed to creak.
Bao Zishi was lying on the bed opposite him. He had fallen asleep without realizing it, but was awakened by the noise. He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Rui. After seeing Chen Rui getting up several times, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Chen is so diligent? Are you doing sit-ups? Do you need help?"
Chen Ruihao: "..."
Chen Ruihao lay down again, and within half a minute, he sat up again and looked at the bed opposite: "Teacher Bao, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Baozi was speechless, and only then did he understand what Chen Ruihao had just done.
Without hesitation, he stood up and said, "Let's go together."
Chen Ruihao: "Okay! Okay! Together!"
In order to deal with emergencies at night, Chen Ruihao did not take off his shoes when he went to bed. He used his coat as a cushion under his feet. When he saw Bao Zishi got up, he stood up quickly, went close to him, and waited for Bao Zishi to walk in front of him.
While asking him: "Teacher Bao, do you know where the toilet is?"
"I know! I've gone around it several times." Bao Zishi smiled and led the way.
He and Taoist Zan are very familiar with this ancient house. Now he can be asked to act as a tour guide to lead guests, and he can tell every corner of it.
"The toilet in the side room is out of service. Let's go to the front."
Chen Ruihao nodded repeatedly and followed him obediently into the corridor, praising him in a low voice: "Teacher Bao, you are so nice."
Bao Zishi burst out laughing.
He is an ordinary person in this mysterious variety show. He has no professional knowledge, and his analysis of the plot is always off the mark. During the interactive session, he is not as attentive as the girls and cannot empathize with the audience.
His character is that of a tank, and only at moments like this can he get more shots.
It's very close to midnight.
Chen Rui was in a very nervous mood and walked very fast along the way, almost jogging, in order to return to bed before twelve o'clock and close all the doors and windows.
Along the way, his expression was obviously nervous and afraid.
Bao Zishi comforted him: "We are almost there. There are so many people in our production team. The Yang energy is strong. Even if there are ghosts, it will be fine."
Chen Ruihao: “…” He became even more scared.
There were no close-up shots in the corridor. Two figures, one tall and one short, leaned against each other and walked towards the toilet in the second courtyard. The night vision camera was full of pixels.
Only the sound of the guests' conversation was clearly transmitted into the live broadcast room.
[Yes, yes, yes, there are a lot of us, it’s only twelve o’clock, it’s really early]
[Hahaha, twelve o'clock is a fatal moment for the guests. Our Chen Haohao must have suffocated to death.]
[The child's abdominal muscles are about to be developed hhh]
[Thank you Mr. Bao for your care! ]
[Teacher Bao is really generous. He can fall asleep in seconds lying on the bed in a place like this]
[Mr. Bao is currently filming a drama, so he must be very tired.]
[Thank you, Mr. Bao, for taking our Ruirui to the toilet in the middle of the night even though he was so tired]
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was relaxed.
No one noticed that the two blurry figures in the corridor suddenly stopped.
…
Master bedroom.
Bai Qingqing folded her arms across her chest, leaning quietly against the bedpost. Suddenly she opened her eyes and caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the door.
The lights in the corridor were still on, casting a clear shadow on the door.
She put down her arms and stood up. Her eyes were clear without any sleepiness. The two girls on the bed were breathing evenly and steadily. She didn't know when they fell asleep.
Bai Qingqing searched their pockets and saw that both of their yellow talismans were there. She then quietly left the room and closed the door.
