Although the show had exploded, the filming still had to continue.
Hua Yuanwu was frantically yelling into the microphone: "NPC! NPC, what are you doing! Hurry up and go scare them, interrupt them!"
The NPC playing the ghost in the mirror was scared into the corner, still not having recovered, blinking in confusion.
Lan Tianyou next to him looked over: "Hey, your earpiece exploded."
With Hua Yuanwu's voice just now being so loud, Lan Tianyou sitting next to him heard it clear as day.
NPC: "..."
What could he do?
He was also very helpless!
With things having developed this way, how should he continue?
He had almost forgotten the script!
At this moment, Lan Tianyou suddenly said: "Why don't you give us a hint to help us get through the second level?"
NPC: "..."
Lan Tianyou followed up: "Look, the two of us just ran and screamed together, that makes us brothers in adversity tied by life and death, right?"
NPC: "......"
How are you still trying to get close?
Behind the glass, the group of three was also chatting, even sitting cross-legged on the ground in a circle.
Guan Liangzhe: "I don't have enough popularity to dare speak, but at this moment my heart is extremely excited and complicated. Now I'll just say one sentence, just one..."
Zhou Wenxia: "You've already said several sentences, Teacher Guan."
Guan Liangzhe: "Long live the southern king and northern emperor!"
Yun Qian stared wide-eyed: "Is it true? The key is that even our teammates don't know how you know!"
Guan Liangzhe: "I don't know, but I ship it."
Zhou Wenxia: "......"
At this time, Nan Xiangwan had finished all the duck necks and wings, her hands all sticky.
Gu Beihuai took out a wet wipe and handed it over, then got up to throw away the bones.
Nan Xiangwan wiped her mouth, wiped her hands, smacked her lips, still wanting to eat.
The NPC stood up from the corner, came to the glass, and raised a steel rod.
This action immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Guan Liangzhe: "Smash it?"
Nan Xiangwan: "I'm skilled at this!"
As it turns out, it wasn't smashed. This expensive digital glass could project images.
They saw the NPC make a few strokes on the glass with the steel rod, and the image on the glass instantly disappeared, becoming completely transparent.
The two sides could now see each other's scenes!
Lan Tianyou immediately waved: "Hey! Brother Guan!"
Guan Liangzhe likewise waved: "Little Lan!"
Nan Xiangwan also waved both arms: "Cloud Cloud, Xia Xia!"
Yun Qian: "Ah Wan!"
Zhou Wenxia: "Ah Wan!"
Being able to see each other, they were very excited.
But in the middle of chatting with each other, bloody words started overflowing from the glass.
Guan Liangzhe: "Oh! Here it comes again."
Lan Tianyou: "So scary!"
Nan Xiangwan was instead curious: "This glass must have cost a lot, right?"
Gu Beihuai: "Latest tech transparent digital screen, do you like it?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Like it, like it! It must be great for watching cartoons."
Everyone: "......"
How did you two start chatting again?
Are you two dating on the public's dime or what!
In the midst of the chat, the words on the glass became more and more clear, eventually forming two big characters—
Save me!
Nan Xiangwan reached out and touched it, feels so realistic, as if real blood was flowing down.
This digital screen is awesome!
Zhou Wenxia: "Has the next level started? But how to solve it?"
Yun Qian: "Doesn't matter if we solve it or not, I want to watch people fall in love."
Guan Liangzhe: "Although I want to watch too, I want to get out first."
Lan Tianyou: "Then what about the NPC?"
Nan Xiangwan: "He left long ago, from over there."
After saying so, she even pointed. The others couldn't see, but she must have had full situational awareness.
The NPC hiding in the shadows getting ready for the next level plot point shivered all over. He had found a chance to sneak away, but was actually spotted?
Gu Beihuai: "Let's continue the game based on the clues."
Everyone took action, both sides searching their own spaces for clues.
According to the rules so far, the clues found on the other side were the decryption keys here, intercrossing with each other.
Gu Beihuai didn't help at all this round, instead following Nan Xiangwan the whole time to see what the little cub was up to while filming the show.
There was no need for her in the decryption or clue searching. Other than getting excited when the ghost came out, it seemed like all she did was eat?
After following her like this for not too long, Gu Beihuai started laughing.
Because Nan Xiangwan really...
was too interesting!
While everyone else was busy looking for clues and solving puzzles, she was chatting with the props.
Nan Xiangwan: "Hey, little brat."
Gu Beihuai looked at the prop in front of him. Can't call it little, just a bit short.
Nan Xiangwan walked to another prop: "Hey, skinny."
Gu Beihuai: "Pfft—"
Hold it in, can't laugh!
Skinny came out, hahaha!
This prop was made deliberately skinny for the scary effect of the show.
Nan Xiangwan continued greeting them one by one, occasionally patting the prop's shoulder, looking like good buddies.
Lan Tianyou was drenched in sweat from all the searching. Seeing her playing over there, he was speechless.
Lan Tianyou: "Stop playing, come help me look!"
As he spoke he wanted to step over a prop lying on the ground to walk over. That prop was originally standing, but got knocked over when Nan Xiangwan was playing ghost chasing the two earlier.
Right after stepping over, the prop's mouth and eyes suddenly opened, making a terrifying sound!
Lan Tianyou: "Ah--!"
He got so scared that he instantly fell butt-first onto the ground.
The prop's eyes lit up red, mouth gaping wide, seeming to sing.
No idea what song it was singing, couldn't make out the lyrics, but the music sounded eerie.
Nan Xiangwan immediately rushed over, flipping the prop around every which way examining it.
Gu Beihuai: "Take it apart."
The two pulled forcefully from both left and right. Crack!
The prop was torn apart down the middle, shattered to pieces.
Lan Tianyou sitting on the ground was so frightened he nearly cried, especially having witnessed such a violent dismantling after the shock scare.
His poor heart!
Gu Beihuai searched through the broken prop pieces, Nan Xiangwan reached in to dig through the prop's mouth.
One moved carefully, the other roughly, leaving no corner untouched.
They took out a small music player, a light bulb, and a small paper ball.
Nan Xiangwan unfolded the paper ball and read: "The horror theater is filled with mirrors everywhere. It's said that a ghost is sealed inside the mirrors that will suck people's souls in to feed and strengthen itself. When the ghost grows strong enough, it will break out from the mirror."
Lan Tianyou: "Hasn't it already broken out from the mirror to scare me into screaming together with it?"
Gu Beihuai: "It's not that simple, go find other clues first."
Nan Xiangwan held up that little light bulb: "This light bulb looks like a flame, and it's red too, lighting up automatically. Looks kinda nice."
Lan Tianyou: "It's super eerie okay, what's nice about it?!"
At this time, knocking sounds came from the glass.
Guan Liangzhe yelled from the other side: "Hey hey hey, we found a candle over here!"
