"Ghost!" Shen Lingran screamed and took a big step back, stepping on Gu Xi's foot.
Gu Xi gasped in pain, and his breath sprayed on the back of Shen Lingran's neck.
Shen Lingran slapped the back of his neck with both hands, curled up and squatted on the ground: "Don't come over, don't come over."
Everyone: ...
"Chen Lingran, you are so afraid of ghosts? How about I give you my survival whistle?" Qing Huan couldn't bear it and hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
"Young people should be wary of impulsiveness. How can you just throw away something as important as a survival whistle?"
Yu Jinghe was very unhappy with the two's childish behavior from the beginning, and now he finally couldn't help but say it out loud.
"Yes, Ling Ran, it takes courage for a man to admit that he is afraid. Why don't we ask the director team to return the survival whistle?"
After listening to everyone's words, Shen Lingran finally realized that he had been fooled by Qiao Ruoxi!
He slowly raised his head and met everyone's complicated gazes, as well as the survival whistle handed to him by Qinghuan.
"Just to liven up the atmosphere, I'm just kidding you. My acting is pretty good, right? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of ghosts!" Shen Lingran stood up and patted his chest with a relaxed look.
Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retracted his outstretched hand, and hung the survival whistle back around his neck.
She just sympathized with Shen Lingran, she should sympathize with herself more.
"If you're not afraid, then don't follow me." A sarcastic smile crossed Qiao Ruoxi's lips.
Shen Lingran was angry but couldn't vent it, so he snorted coldly: "You talk as if I want to follow you, then let's go our separate ways, you go this way, and I'll take the stairs opposite."
Having said that, Shen Lingran turned and headed in another direction.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and finally Gu Xi patted Shen Lingran on the shoulder.
Shen Lingran was so frightened that his body froze: "Is it a human or a ghost!"
Gu Xi was also frightened by him and shuddered: "It's me, Gu Xi."
Shen Lingran turned around and said angrily: "Hasn't anyone told you not to pat people on the shoulder from behind in a place like this?"
Gu Xi blinked, very innocently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know, but, but aren't you afraid?"
Shen Lingran: ...
"What do you want me to do?" Shen Lingran didn't expect that this poor illegitimate son of the Gu family would dare to speak to him like this.
Gu Xi then remembered his purpose and pointed in front of Shen Lingran: "There is only one way to the first level, where are you going?"
“Nonsense, there is clearly a staircase here…” Shen Lingran turned around and was stunned.
He had just clearly seen that there was a staircase here, but how could it disappear out of thin air?
"Take the road to the underworld and walk it in the world of the living, all the way to the end without looking back." Qiao Ruoxi shone the flashlight on the map on the wall and said this slowly.
Everyone shuddered inexplicably.
"What does this mean?" Qinghuan asked in a low voice.
Qiao Ruoxi pointed at the map, her red lips curled slightly: "What it means is that there is a road that does not originally belong to the world of the living. Once you set foot on it, there is no turning back."
Qing Huan carefully looked at the map with the light of Qiao Ruoxi's flashlight, and then covered her mouth: "There is only one staircase in this old house, so the staircase that Shen Lingran just saw does not belong to the world of the living?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Smart."
Hearing this, all the pores on Shen Lingran's body stood up, and he didn't even dare to look back.
However, with the microphone on his back, the infrared camera filming, and the fans watching him in front of the camera, he must not show any fear.
"I was just talking casually. There's no staircase there, Qiao Ruoxi. There's only one way to the first level. Why do you say I'll follow you?" Shen Lingran tried to cover up his nervousness and fear with his aura.
Qiao Ruoxi scoffed and moved a step to the sides: "Please."
"You!" Shen Lingran exploded, "You turned on the flashlight, so of course you should go first."
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and turned off the flashlight with a click.
Just at this moment, a draft blew through the hallway, and everyone gasped.
With a "click", it was Gu Xi who turned on the flashlight and said in a trembling voice: "Let's go to the first level first, it's too scary here."
As he spoke, he took small steps towards the first door.
"I agree!" Qinghuan also turned on the flashlight and followed closely.
Yu Jinghe also nodded and followed.
"You don't even dare to leave as the first one. Are you really not going to think about asking the director team to return the survival whistle?" Qiao Ruoxi smiled jokingly and walked away after she finished speaking.
Shen Lingran was so angry that he almost fumed, and cursed in his heart, Qiao Ruoxi, just wait and see!
The barrage scrolled quickly across the screen.
[Why do I feel like Shen Lingran is really scared? If he's so scared, why did he even throw away the survival whistle when making a bet?]
[Hat fans above, our brother Ling Ran has already said that it was all his acting, for show effect, you know? The little immortal man is not afraid of monsters, he only punishes them! ]
Doesn't anyone else think Qiao Ruoxi is cool? She's always calm and composed. I think I've developed a crush on her!
[No one thinks otherwise, except you! Qiao Ruoxi's hired trolls are here again, everyone, get to work!]
After everyone entered the first room, the door slammed shut.
Gu Xi hurriedly looked at the door behind him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it.
"Gu Xi, you haven't played a secret room game before, right? Don't waste your energy. This door can only be opened after solving the puzzle." Shen Lingran raised his eyebrows with a sense of superiority.
Gu Xi let go of him awkwardly: "Sorry, this is my first time playing a secret room game."
"Here is a string of numbers." Yu Jinghe's voice attracted everyone's attention.
"This should be a number trap question, right? I have never been good at math since I was a child..." Qinghuan scratched his head.
Shen Lingran raised his eyebrows confidently: "I won third place in the city's Olympic Mathematics Competition in elementary school. This kind of question is a piece of cake for me!"
After saying this, he looked at Qiao Ruoxi proudly, but he saw that Qiao Ruoxi didn't even look at him, her eyes were always on the string of numbers.
"Qiao Ruoxi, do you want to try to solve the puzzle too?" Shen Lingran asked.
Qiao Ruoxi didn't even raise her head: "You saw it all, why are you still asking?"
Qinghuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shen Lingran was so angry that his face turned pale, and he tapped the table with his fingertips: "Do you dare to compete with me to see who can decipher this code first?"
Only then did Qiao Ruoxi look at Shen Lingran straight in the eye: "How do we compete? If I win, what can you give me?"
Shen Lingran raised one corner of his lips: "You may not have heard clearly, I was third in the elementary school Olympiad Mathematics. How could I lose to you?"
"You talk too much nonsense. Just tell me how to compete." Qiao Ruoxi was a little impatient.
"How about if I solve it first, you just quit the program recording?" Shen Lingran raised his neck.
"You lost?"
"impossible!"
"How about you quit the entertainment industry if you lose?" Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows.
