If Xiao Jingyi is ice, then Meng Huaichuan is a burning little flame. If you don't extinguish it all at once, it will rise higher and higher, get more and more excited as it talks, laugh louder and louder, and laugh like a fool with an extremely low threshold for laughter.
Bi Xie sat with Man Ni, not intending to talk to her, and closed his eyes to rest.
Clutching the travel bag provided by the production team, Dai Yichen nervously whispered to Xiong Yu, "Brother Yu, do you know that there might be life-threatening situations during the filming of this variety show?"
Xiong Yu replied calmly, "Yes, I know," and then added reassuringly, "But generally, production teams wouldn't dare to joke about the lives of artists. Safety measures will be in place. If there are any dangerous projects to do, I'll be the first to go."
Dai Yichen was a little embarrassed, but also relieved, "That's good. The production team will be filming, so there shouldn't be any problems..."
Bi Xie was jolted awake. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that it was completely dark outside the car window. The car seemed to be traveling on an extremely uneven road, and the car was shaking violently. Almost everyone was awake and looked out the car window.
Dai Yichen whispered, "Brother Yu, where are we? It's already dark. Are we really going to take this risk?"
Xiong Yu didn't say anything, clearly unaware of where the production team was taking them.
After a bumpy ride, the car finally stopped. As soon as the group got out, they were shivered by the cold wind. There must have been a forest nearby, as the rustling of the leaves was extremely eerie, and every now and then they could hear screams that were hard to tell whether they were laughter or crying.
Dai Yichen's legs immediately went weak with fear. He gripped Xiong Yu's arm tightly, his eyes darting around as if afraid a female ghost might suddenly appear.
Manni was stunned for a moment after getting out of the car, and fear flashed in her eyes, but when she saw Xiao Jingyi, she immediately tried to calm herself down.
There are no ghosts in the world. It's all just people scaring themselves.
Manni glanced at Bi Xie, saw that she looked calm and composed, snorted coldly, and concluded that she was just pretending to be calm.
Xiao Jingyi and Meng Huaichuan were the most unusual. One was expressionless and cold, while the other looked excited, eager to try out the haunted house that stood tall in the dark night.
The crew members and cameramen got out of the car carrying their equipment, and then a staff member came to tell Bi Xie and the others about their first recording task—six people would go in one at a time every half hour, and everyone would have to spend the night in this haunted house.
The rules are simple, but a haunted house that suddenly appears in the forest is several times scarier than a haunted house in an amusement park. Moreover, entering a haunted house at night is fraught with unknown dangers, and only one person can enter at a time. So, who should go in first becomes a problem.
Dai Yichen turned pale with fright, and the eerie cries coming from the woods made him almost cry.
Xiong Yu's expression was somewhat serious as he looked at the others.
If no one else is willing to go in first, then he, with his outdoor survival experience, will definitely be the first to go in.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, Meng Huaichuan jumped out and smiled at Xiao Jingyi, "Brother Jingyi, I'll go in first and wait for you inside. Hurry up and come find me!" Before anyone could react, he excitedly ran to the front of the haunted house.
The reaction was as if they had seen a new toy.
Bi Xie's lips twitched, and she saw Xiao Jing looking at her with an unchanged expression. "You'll be the second one to go in later."
Bi Xie raised an eyebrow. She had no objection and was even wondering if she should summon the Five Ghosts to scare that little bitch Manni to death.
I wonder what Manny is up to this time. She doesn't think that she's just here to participate in a variety show.
In order to participate in "The Legend of the Heavenly Fox", Manni probably paid a lot of breach of contract fees when she terminated her contract with "The Phoenix". It was enough for her to suffer a huge loss. Some time ago, Ding Murou kept releasing information on Weibo, which inevitably made Manni very anxious. She probably spent a lot of money hiring online trolls and removing and re-updating trending topics. This time, when she appeared on this variety show, she didn't even see Manni's agent, Sister Jing.
Does this mean that even Sister Jing has given up on Manni?
Half an hour later, just as Bi Xie was about to listen to Xiao Jingyi and enter the haunted house second, Man Ni took the lead and said softly to everyone, "I... I'll go in second. Waiting here will only scare me more. I'll wait for everyone to meet up inside."
After saying that, he walked to the door of the haunted house with a look of grim determination, glanced back at the crowd, gritted his teeth, and went inside.
Bi Xie glanced at Xiao Jingyi, who didn't show much emotion. Noticing her gaze, he looked over, pursed his lips, walked over, and leaned close to her, saying in a stiff voice, "Later, follow me inside. Don't wander off. I'll leave marks along the way, so remember to come find me."
"Oh." Bi Xie replied casually, then asked knowingly, "What do you want?"
Xiao Jing stared at her with his dark eyes, then suddenly smiled. "Didn't you say you were going to protect me?"
Bi Xie choked. Had she said that? It seems... she had.
“I charge protection money for protecting people,” Bi Xie said, a smirk playing on his lips. “Can you afford it?”
Xiao Jing's eyes deepened slightly as he locked his gaze on her: "What do you want?"
Without hesitation, Bi Xie said, "I want the most precious drop of your blood. Can you give it to me?"
Xiao Jing was stunned. He never expected that this was what she wanted. The most precious drop of blood? Was she joking?
“Liar,” he muttered under his breath, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
Bi Xie suddenly found him adorable and chuckled softly. Afraid that he might take it seriously, she quickly moved closer and said, "I was just kidding. I'm a brother who always keeps his word. I'll go in first, and you can follow behind me."
She winked at him, and Xiao Jingyi was mesmerized. When the staff reminded him that it was time, Bi Xie responded and walked over. By the time he realized what was happening, she had already entered the lonely and gloomy haunted house.
Bi Xie's first feeling upon entering the haunted house was coldness, as if he had stepped into a refrigerator, chilling him to the bone and making his spine tremble.
This haunted house was clearly meticulously crafted; the green will-o'-the-wisps were incredibly realistic, and the entire house was deathly quiet.
After walking about two hundred meters, a long suspension bridge came into view. Bi Xie took out the flashlight provided by the production team and saw the words "Naihe Bridge" written on the stone pier at the head of the bridge. She shone the flashlight on the bridge surface and found that the bridge planks were indeed rotten and dilapidated. Anyone who was a little timid would probably not dare to cross the bridge.
But there was no one on this side of the bridge, which meant it wasn't safe to stay here either...
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a whoosh of wind sounded behind him, followed by the sudden appearance of a hunched old woman behind Bi Xie. The old woman's face was green, her smile chilling, and she held a bowl of soup in her hand. She stared at Bi Xie with a sinister gaze, her voice old and hoarse, "Little girl, do you want to cross the bridge? Drink this soup, and you can cross..."
