The Male Lead Conquest System Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 8

After hearing the broadcast, Yin Zhizhi did not immediately remove her blindfold. Instead, she carefully asked, "Is anyone there? Is there someone nearby?"

"..."

Silence as a chicken.

The director's monitor showed that the other three participants had already removed their blindfolds when they realized Yin Zhizhi was the only one left.

Guo Cheng excitedly said, "This is getting interesting."

Sun Li crossed her arms and remarked, "No way, it's not good if she's the only one, is Zhizhi alone too? Who would dare to participate in our show if we treat a newcomer like this?"

Xiao Boran said, "I need to find the other members first."

Each person was in a corridor with many forks ahead, forming a maze where strange and terrifying NPCs could appear at any moment.

Ji Huan curiously took a look at his artist's performance.

However, he found that while everyone had removed their blindfolds, Yin Zhizhi was still wearing hers and walking cautiously...

Yin Zhizhi felt her way very carefully.

The director's team: "..."

The director asked, "Mr. Ji, did Yin Zhizhi not hear the broadcast clearly?"

"The broadcast was so loud, there's no way she couldn't have heard it."

The director thought for a moment, then supposed that the young lady was likely too scared to face the terrifying experiences, so she chose not to remove her blindfold.

Yin Zhizhi continued feeling her way with the blindfold on, while a murderous NPC holding a bloody chainsaw quietly approached her.

The director mischievously played the broadcast: "Please have some members remove their blindfolds."

Yin Zhizhi raised her head toward the voice and said, "Can I not take it off? There's no rule that says I must remove it, right?"

"..."

It seemed there was no such rule, only that they had to leave the room.

But how could she leave this maze while blindfolded and struggling to walk?

Meanwhile, the murderous NPC with the chainsaw slowly approached Yin Zhizhi, now standing just a meter in front of her, grinning ominously.

Yin Zhizhi was completely unaware until her hand touched the NPC's clothes.

Originally, they expected her to be startled, but instead—

"Oh, I've touched someone? Is it a teammate?"

"Not a teammate, then it must be something terrifying. I don't know if you're male or female, so if I accidentally do anything inappropriate, please dodge it yourself." Yin Zhizhi casually touched the NPC and then walked around it.

The NPC was so dumbfounded by this unexpected behavior that it didn't know how to scare her anymore. The NPC deliberately started the sound of its fake chainsaw.

The sudden, piercing chainsaw noise would startle anyone.

But Yin Zhizhi was not frightened at all. She simply raised her hand to cover her ears, saying, "What's that prop sound you have? Turn it off, it's too piercing. Listening to it too much is bad for your ears."

She sympathetically advised, shook her head in disapproval, and then plugged her ears as she slowly walked away.

"..."

"..."

Not only was the NPC speechless, but the entire directing team was also speechless.

"Haha, the young people sure know how to play." The directing team found it quite entertaining, being the first time someone had acted this way on their show.

Ji Huan was unsure whether Yin Zhizhi was just timid or boldly confident.

The other three veteran guests had been scared many times before, yet they would still be startled by the sounds and sudden appearances of NPCs arranged by the production team.

Screams came from inside the room.

Yin Zhizhi asked, "Guo Cheng, is that you screaming?"

Guo Cheng was being chased by an old woman wielding a knife.

The old woman had a rotten makeup on her face, making her both terrifying and disgusting. She limped while holding the knife, chasing him, "Run, young man, you bumped into me just now, young man."

"Ahhhhh, she's been chasing me for three minutes now. That's enough, old lady, take a break." Guo Cheng was out of breath from running.

Wearing her blindfold, Yin Zhizhi had very keen hearing. She walked while feeling the walls, initially cautious but now quite skilled. She felt her way along the wall quietly.

Before long, she found Guo Cheng by following the sound of his footsteps. Yin Zhizhi called out, "Guo Cheng!"

Guo Cheng saw the blindfolded girl with two pigtails standing at a doorway, with a hanging dead body prop right next to her!

Guo Cheng stammered in fright, "Yin Zhizhi, Yin Zhizhi, quickly move away, there's something next to you."

"What is it?"

"There's..."

Before Guo Cheng could answer, Yin Zhizhi reached out and felt the prop beside her. After carefully examining it, she said, "A hanging thing? This plastic leg feeling, it's a dummy."

A dummy, she said those three words with disdain in her voice.

The directing team watched the monitor: ...You should say that after removing your blindfold. Right now, you're only acting fearless because you can't see the terror!

Guo Cheng ran over and said, "Why aren't you taking off your blindfold? The game has been going on for more than ten minutes, right? You're not going to keep your blindfold on the whole time, are you?"

"Yeah, the production team didn't say I have to take it off. With the blindfold, my hearing is very sharp. I followed the sound to walk over here. Guo Cheng, you were screaming really loudly."

Guo Cheng: "..."

Guo Cheng: "Let's not talk about that now. The old lady who was chasing me is nearby. Let's quickly find a room to hide in until she's gone, then we'll discuss further."

Guo Cheng led Yin Zhizhi into a study room to hide.

Yin Zhizhi felt her way to a chair and sat down.

Guo Cheng also took a seat to rest for a bit.

"Based on my experience, there must be clues in a room like this. Zhizhi, let's see if we can find a map or something."

"Oh, okay."

Yin Zhizhi stood up and began feeling around.

Guo Cheng said, "...You can take off your blindfold now. There's nothing scary in here."

"You can use your eyes to look, and I'll use my sense of touch. Two ways to find clues, not bad."

The directing team suspected: You're just afraid.

Yin Zhizhi felt around randomly until she suddenly raised her head and said, "Guo Cheng, someone is coming."

"It must be an NPC. Let's hide."

"No, it's the sound of Sun Li and Xiao Boran."

Guo Cheng listened carefully but said, "I don't hear anything. Are your ears really that good?"

"Close your eyes and listen."

"I don't hear anything..."

After five or six minutes, Sun Li and Xiao Boran did indeed arrive, also opening this door to hide from the NPC.

The four faced each other.

Guo Cheng was surprised, "Zhizhi, are you sure it wasn't just a coincidence? You really heard their footsteps?"

"I heard them. They were chased here by the murderous NPC with a chainsaw. The chainsaw sound was very loud."

Sun Li nodded vigorously, "Yes, we were chased here by the chainsaw. Zhizhi, why are you wearing a blindfold? Are you scared? Now that we're all together, you don't need to be afraid. If you're scared, just hide behind us later."

Yin Zhizhi said, "I'm not scared."

Not being scared meant not taking off the blindfold.

Sun Li said, "We've tried opening many doors but couldn't open them, or there would be NPCs inside when we did. But it's quiet here. Could the clue for getting out be in this room?"

Xiao Boran said, "Let's search."

While everyone was searching, Yin Zhizhi quietly went out.

As she walked, she kicked something.

"Little girl, you kicked my leg."

"Oh, sorry. Why are you sitting on the ground?"

"Can you help me up?" The old woman's voice was eerie as she held a knife, her rotten face clearly visible.

Yin Zhizhi felt around and helped her up, saying, "Lean against the wall so you don't fall again. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

She felt her way and left.

"..."

"..."

Not only was the NPC speechless, but the entire directing team was also speechless.

"Haha, the young people sure know how to play." The directing team found it quite amusing, being the first time someone had acted this way on their show.

Ji Huan wasn't sure if Yin Zhizhi was timid or bold.

Even though the other three veteran guests had been scared many times before, they would still be startled by the sounds and sudden appearances of NPCs arranged by the production team.

Screams came from inside the room.

Yin Zhizhi asked, "Guo Cheng, was that you screaming?"

Guo Cheng was being chased by an old woman with a knife.

The old woman had rotten makeup on her face, making her both terrifying and disgusting. She limped while holding the knife, chasing him, "Run, young man, you bumped into me just now, young man."

Ji Huan wasn't sure if Yin Zhizhi was timid or bold.

Yin Zhizhi felt around randomly until she actually found a clue - there was a raised line on the wall that eyes couldn't see but hands could feel.

Yin Zhizhi followed the line, walking for half an hour. Along the way, she encountered various NPCs and even chatted with some of them casually.

Feeling her way along the wall, she followed the raised points.

At last, she arrived at an open space.

The blindfolded girl found herself facing a multitude of cameras at the exit.

Yin Zhizhi couldn't see, and the crew dared not make a sound.

Yin Zhizhi tilted her ear, listening: "There are many breaths, and a familiar one. Ji Huan, are you here?"

Standing behind the camera, Ji Huan was taken aback, but remained silent.

Yin Zhizhi removed her blindfold: "Ah, I've really made it out!"

Broadcast: "Congratulations to member Yin Zhizhi for being the first to exit the secret room."
