Chapter 39 Un Entertainment But he had no idea, from beginning to end...
Li Wei, who had been hit by Jiang Yang, covered his face and stood aside without daring to say a word.
With resentment simmering in her eyes, Jiang Yang seemed oblivious as she searched the room on her own.
It's already the second round, and he has to open the door before this round ends.
As he said, if Li Wei continues to cause trouble, he will kill him without hesitation.
Jiang Yang searched the room thoroughly, even looking into the crevices of the bed frame, but still found nothing.
A sharp pain shot through his stomach, and he used the handrail by the bed to move himself down to sit, pressing his palms against his abdomen and staring down at his toes.
Did something go wrong at one step?
He had originally thought that if the lock could only be opened from the outside...
Aside from being forcibly broken open by the wooden figure, it can definitely be opened after other conditions are met.
That's why he chose to look in the ward, but apart from three hospital beds, there was nothing else there.
The person on the other end, 9033, tilted their head and asked, "What are you looking for?"
No, there's another patient.
Jiang Yang pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Do you know how to open the door?"
Even Li Wei couldn't help but glance at it.
9033 shook his head, "I don't know."
"However, someone will bring lunch around noon, but the food is not good."
They naturally couldn't wait until noon, but the young man wasn't discouraged. "Then why are you locked up here?"
“I don’t know, they said I made a mistake,” 9033 said dejectedly. “I’m so hungry.”
Hungry?
9033 has used this term many times.
Combining his various characteristics, Jiang Yang suddenly came up with a term.
Hunger syndrome.
This is due to both physical and psychological illnesses caused by long-term malnutrition.
Nan Ke said that artists have to control their diet and only eat one meal at noon.
So, what if this is a solitary confinement room?
The reason 9033 was put in solitary confinement was because of his uncontrollable appetite...
As for how to get out of the solitary confinement cell...
He knew it from the beginning.
But now there's still one thing missing for verification. Jiang Yang looked at Li Wei and said, "Hey, I've found a way out."
"What?" Li Wei was like a startled bird, instinctively shrinking his shoulders in tension.
Jiang Yang lowered his head in front of people, seemingly deliberately avoiding 9033.
Then, lowering his voice, he said slowly, "Recognize your mistakes, conduct a serious self-examination, and loudly repent."
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, his gaze falling on the air. Jiang Yang confirmed his verification.
From the moment Li Wei declared 9033 a monster, he guessed that the system might still provide prompts about the mission progress after entering the room.
So he told Li Wei the answer, and Li Wei's reaction explained everything.
"What does the system want us to do?" Jiang Yang asked.
Li Wei still remained somewhat wary, "Didn't your system tell you that?"
"Oh, I violated the rules before, so the ban hasn't been lifted yet."
A single, casual remark successfully broke Li Wei, who cried out, "Boss, I was wrong just now, please help me out."
Sometimes a ban is not just a restriction on a person, but also an affirmation of their ability.
Jiang Yang knows how to manipulate people.
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Li Wei's Perspective]
Li Wei's observation room was unusually lively, with many people crowding in to see Jiang Yang.
"You've broken the rules! Don't you know how you broke the rules?!"
Is it possible that he genuinely didn't know?
"It's alright, whether you know it or not won't affect our Actor Jiang's performance."
After that, Li Wei became much more obedient.
He took out paper and pen. "Boss, the system tells us to write a self-criticism. After you finish writing it, just read it aloud."
After saying that, Li Wei eagerly took on the task of writing a self-criticism, saying, "Boss, I've been writing for a while, you can read it aloud."
Jiang Yang, her thoughts written all over her face, didn't refuse, but simply added, "I'll read, you write."
The first line is the object of the self-criticism.
The paper was for self-criticisms, and Li Wei filled a whole page, which ended right at the last line where the person writing the self-criticism should write.
Li Wei asked, "Who should write the self-criticism?"
The one who made the mistake was 9033, but 9033 doesn't remember his own name.
"Let's leave it empty for now."
Jiang Yang took the letter of self-criticism, and the moment she held it, she felt a strange sense of sluggishness, whether it was just her imagination or not.
After clearing his throat with two coughs, Li Wei held up the self-criticism in front of him, about to speak, when he suddenly hesitated and whispered, "I...I have to read it at the door."
No wonder they suggested that Jiang Yang go and study there.
Jiang Yang walked to the door, where a small window with openwork on the door revealed half of his face. Through the door, the sound of the wooden figure dragging its footsteps in the corridor was particularly clear.
He stretched out his arm, the paper covering the small window perfectly. The young man took a deep breath and then began to read aloud.
"As an artist, I apologize for my lack of self-control, and therefore I offer the following reflection..."
The moment the sound came out, the previously noisy voices in other rooms seemed to freeze.
Jiang Yang's clear and slow voice echoed in the corridor. Some people began to peek out, while others were inspired by it.
...
“He is in 903,” the wooden figure passed by 906.
Ji Yang's serious face flashed through the small window of room 906. He turned around and went back into the ward. Xingye had already jumped out of bed because of his words and asked excitedly, "So, are we going out now?"
Yuejiang came out of the restroom by the door without saying a word, but she looked ready.
The door to their hospital room had been opened during the first round of meetings.
Ji Yang listened to 903's apology and said, "Wait a little longer."
Hoshino collapsed back in dejection.
"I deeply realize that, as an artist, I should be even more demanding of myself..."
When the second paragraph was read, the others followed suit and began to imitate it, and the corridor was filled with a chorus of self-criticisms.
But soon, the wooden figure became agitated, and Jiang Yang's hand holding the apology letter trembled as it was raised high, with beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.
Li Wei said fearfully, "He's coming, he's coming towards us."
The letter of self-criticism blocked Jiang Yang's view, but the approaching footsteps could not be ignored.
As the shadow fell over the window, Jiang Yang could sense that he was only separated from it by a door.
The sound of wood rubbing together made Jiang Yang tremble.
It said:
"The one writing the self-criticism," Jiang Yang gritted her teeth, "903...all artists..."
The door clicked open a second before it sprang open, and Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
The wooden figure, unwilling to give up, shifted its target, and its pacing back and forth echoed again in the corridor.
But before his final order was given, no one dared to make any further moves.
Li Wei walked over and stood excitedly by the door, staring at the slightly ajar door.
Jiang Yang ignored everyone and turned to look at 9033, who had been standing behind him during his self-criticism.
9033 had entered a state of paralysis the moment it noticed the wooden figure.
Judging from the tears in his clothes that revealed his skin, he was becoming more and more like a wooden doll.
As if it had locked onto its target, the wooden man shouted out the last three words.
A room door was kicked open, second round...
Li Wei pried open the gap between the door and the door frame with one hand, and pushed Jiang Yang with the other, causing Jiang Yang to fall out of the door.
Hold...
The door was closed again, perfectly shut.
The corridor was empty, and the wooden figure was less than five meters away from the elevator.
Jiang Yang peered through the small window and asked anxiously in a low voice, "What are you going to do!"
The wooden figure walked towards Jiang Yang.
Li Wei glanced at Jiang Yang and said viciously, "He's a monster."
He turned around, took out a tinderbox, and threw it at 9033. "Hahaha, now it's my turn."
[Hungry Wood: Hunger turned it into an empty shell. Once inside the shell, it will protect you.]
Li Wei thought this was why 9033 became stiff after the wooden figure appeared.
Therefore, he wants to get the piece of wood that 9033 has.
The wooden figure paused slightly before speeding up.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yang ran to the other side of the corridor.
The wooden figure didn't chase after them.
It stopped in front of 903, and the sound of flames came from inside, mixed with maniacal laughter.
As Jiang Yang passed by 906, Xingye's face appeared through the small window. Xingye grinned and said, "Hey, Jiang Yang."
Ji Yang pushed Xingye aside, reached his fingers through the crack in the door and pulled it open. "Come in."
The door to 903 was completely broken open, and Li Wei's scream startled Jiang Yang, who quickly ran into 906.
Hoshino and Jiang Yang curiously peeked out from the door frame, only to see the wooden figure walk inside.
Jiang Yang asked, "Isn't it forbidden to come into the room?"
Hoshino countered, "Do you have NPCs and little wooden figures in your house?"
The young man suddenly realized.
The little wooden figure doesn't just protect NPCs; it also restricts the entry of other wooden figures.
The wooden figure dragged Li Wei, who was covered in blood after being hit by the door frame, past 906.
Li Wei muttered in disbelief, "Impossible, it should have protected me, the empty shell should have protected me."
But he had no idea that, from beginning to end, the so-called empty shell of hunger should have been the entire ward 903.
All three of them were the monster he was talking about.
Jiang Yang stared coldly at Li Wei, who was slowly pulling away.
Li Weishang was still conscious and struggled to reach out to him for help, pleading, "Please save me."
Jiang Yang remained expressionless.
Ultimately, people have to pay the price for their selfishness.
There are no rules for this performance class.
On the dark stage, Maple disappeared from the center of the stage after saying those words.
Nan Ke and Huang Er stood together, looking at each other in bewilderment at the spot where Maple had disappeared.
Suddenly, a scream came from not far away, and the crowd panicked immediately: "Someone has fallen!"
Huang Er lit a cigarette, the smoke reflecting a faint light. Nan Ke grumbled irritably, "Are you crazy? Smoke less."
As they were talking, they suddenly saw something flash by.
He subconsciously looked up, put his hand on Huang Er's forearm, and said uncertainly, "Hold the cigarette higher."
Nan Ke wasn't sure how high the stage was, but by the light of the smoke stars, he saw the nearest red dot.
Less than two meters away...
"Go up," Nan Ke said, squatting down to signal someone to come up since no one else could take Huang Er's cigarettes.
Huang Er didn't dawdle any longer. He pushed off with his feet, and Nan Ke followed suit, gritting his teeth and standing up.
Less than a minute later, Nan Ke urged, "Are you done yet?"
"Alright," Huang Er jumped off the man's shoulder.
What's up there?
"camera."
[Mission Unlocked: Find the Real Camera]
Ji Yang saw the camera once, in Tian Yu's cage.
Nan Ke's expression was grave. "Find Tian Yu first."
