Chapter 281
At 9pm, Guan Liangzhe treated Nan Xiangwan and Xiao Dong to a late-night snack.
Nan Xiangwan didn't stand on ceremony and ate with oil dripping down her mouth.
Xiao Dong, unusually, didn't remind her to control her food intake, allowing Madam Nan to eat with abandon.
After the three people ate their fill, it was almost time for the live broadcast of Horror Escape Room to begin.
Guan Liangzhe and Nan Xiangwan got into their own cars to head to the filming location.
But just after getting in the car, Nan Xiangwan's eyes glanced to the side.
Staring at the corner of the car!
Live comments:
Wow! She discovered it?
She actually discovered the hidden camera!
Haha! No one expected the program team would play outside the rules and install hidden cameras in their cars.
It's not yet 12 o'clock, but the show has already begun! Haha!
Nan Xiangwan is so perceptive to directly discover it. Meanwhile Guan Liangzhe next door is still picking his teeth! Haha!
...
At this time Guan Liangzhe was worried about today's schedule on one hand, and picking his teeth on the other hand, while taking a sip of water.
Just then, screech!
The car was suddenly forced to stop by the roadside.
Then two burly men immediately came out and dragged the driver out from the driver's seat, before taking away the car with Guan Liangzhe inside.
Guan Liangzhe: !!!
Kidnapped???
The two men drove very aggressively, with one controlling Guan Liangzhe in the back seat the whole time, practically like a kidnapping.
Guan Liangzhe asked in fright while shuddering: "Wha-what do you guys want?"
Thug: "We want you to keep still!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Okay, okay!"
Live comments:
Damn! Is it that exciting?
Haha! These are people from the program team!
I'm dying of laughter! Guan Liangzhe hasn't even finished picking his teeth!
Let him finish picking his teeth first, can you?
The program team is inhuman!
...
After Nan Xiangwan discovered the hidden camera, she looked towards Xiao Dong.
Xiao Dong was very embarrassed: "Um, it was installed by the program team, and we also signed a contract with the company, it counts as a live broadcast preview."
Nan Xiangwan: "Oh."
Xiao Dong: "Yeah, later the driver will be changed, it's not a hijacking. Madam Nan please don't get violent later."
Nan Xiangwan: "Okay."
Live comments:
Hahahaha!
The assistant is giving an explanation online, afraid that Nan Xiangwan will beat up the program team members!
I'm dying of laughter! Guan Liangzhe next door has already suffered a "kidnapping", while Nan Xiangwan here needs to worry about getting violent with the kidnappers.
...
Sure enough after not long the car stopped by the roadside, and two burly men approached.
Xiao Dong took the initiative to get out of the car, and even patted one burly man on the shoulder: "She already discovered it, be careful of her."
Burly man: "......"
And so, Nan Xiangwan watched the driver get changed with a calm expression, while the car drove towards the suburbs, without her getting violent.
The two burly men felt completely unaccomplished, silently driving the car.
The live comments were practically laughing themselves to death.
After arriving at the filming location, it was precisely 12 midnight, timed perfectly.
Over here Guan Liangzhe was violently escorted the whole way to the filming location. The poor guy had no idea this was the program team's idea, and actually thought he got kidnapped. He started reciting his last words while crying, extremely pitiful.
The two burly men drove the car into a garage, then got out of the car, closed the door, and left.
The heavy garage door slammed shut, and the next second the surroundings were pitch black.
Horror Escape Room Season 2 had officially begun!
Guan Liangzhe screamed in fright, his terrified expression fully captured by the livestream camera, making the audience double over in laughter.
But just then, a girl's voice rang out beside him.
"Is, is anyone there?"
The girl's voice was trembling, obviously very scared.
Guan Liangzhe's eyes widened, damn, they kidnapped a girl too?!
These kidnappers are too much!
Guan Liangzhe hurriedly responded: "Ye-yes, where are you?"
Girl: "Wahh, it's so dark I also don't know where I am."
Guan Liangzhe: "Your voice sounds very familiar!"
Girl: "It's me, Sha Ling!"
Guan Liangzhe: "???"
Guan Liangzhe: "Sha Ling?! You got kidnapped too?!"
Sha Ling: "Kidnapped? I thought I was here to participate in a variety show? It was called Horror Escape Room, I got locked alone in a little dark room as soon as I entered the game and have been here waiting for a long time."
Guan Liangzhe: "......"
What does this mean? So this is the show's filming location?
The kidnappers went through so much trouble to send him to the Horror Escape Room program team?
Guan Liangzhe couldn't get his mind around it for a moment.
The live comments exploded with laughter again, while also celebrating the collaboration between the girls' group members!
Sha Ling is here!
It's just that this casting is a bit ridiculous, they chose Sha Ling who has the smallest courage!
...
In another livestream, Lan Tianyou was also kidnapped in the same way with the whole car driven into the program team's filming location.
As soon as the door closed, it was pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers.
Lan Tianyou started bawling on the spot, crying until he was hysterical.
He also thought he got kidnapped!
But very soon, Ge Dongxuan's voice rang out beside him: "Wahh, stop crying, I've been crying for half a day and the door still won't open, and I can't find the password either."
Lan Tianyou: "???"
Ge Dongxuan: "I can't see anything. I heard this show has ghosts? Isn't that scary? I'm so frightened now!"
Lan Tianyou: "!!!"
After thinking hard for a while, Lan Tianyou finally understood that this was the program team's doing.
As for Ge Dongxuan, he had heard about her before, she was a member of Nan Xiangwan's girl group.
Lan Tianyou was like he just found a life raft: "Ahhh you're Madam Nan's teammate, you must be very brave right?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding?"
Live comments:
Hahahaha Ge Dongxuan is brave?
I'm dying, Ge Dongxuan wishes she could hang onto Nan Xiangwan!
Awesome program team, the two guest stars they found are Sha Ling and Ge Dongxuan, the two with the smallest courage from the Girl's Fate Girl Group!
Wow, what a pair of useless scum, four useless scums paired up together, I reckon they can't even pass the first stage of this escape room!
...
Nan Xiangwan was separately delivered to a garage workshop, as soon as the door closed it was pitch black with only her inside.
Her night vision passive skill activated in an instant, Nan Xiangwan looked around and saw it was a garage sized space with only her and a car inside.
She was still wearing her performance costume without having changed out of it, the red clothes gave some kids watching the livestream a huge fright with the night vision effect.
As everyone knows, the scariest thing about this show isn't the NPCs, it's Nan Xiangwan!
...
In the fourth garage workshop, similarly a car was delivered inside.
The audience wholly anticipated, Gu Beihuai wearing workman clothes, a helmet and thick gloves, opened the car door.
The live comments were instantly filled with question marks.
What the hell is this get up?
Lord Gu why have you turned into an electrician?
Too down to earth!
Gu Beihuai of course couldn't see any of this, but he was courageous. After getting out of the car he felt his way to the wall and walked along the perimeter.
He took off his glove and carefully felt across the wall surface.
He discovered many raised points, which should be information to decipher.
Gu Beihuai started decoding on site without any delay.
In not even a minute, he accurately reported the password: "0501"
But with the password was found, where was the door?
Chapter 282
The 6 people were divided into 4 groups. Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling formed group 1 as the weaklings. Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan formed group 2 as the other weaklings. Nan Xiangwan was alone as the tank group. Gu Beihuai was alone as the brain group.
According to the characteristics of each group, the program team arranged different decryption processes.
The two weakling groups were facing horrifying scenes, with flashes of light coming through from time to time, allowing them to see the blood handprints in front clearly.
The 4 of them were scared and panicked!
It was different for Nan Xiangwan. The only escape route was a door, but it was hung with hundreds of locks!
They were all combination locks!
She had to decrypt and unlock the locks one by one in sequence to finally open the door.
It had to be said this was very targeted.
As for Gu Beihuai, the problem he faced was the most absurd. He didn't even have a door here at all!
The live studio audience along with him looked together but couldn't find an exit either.
Just how to get out aroused everyone's curiosity!
Next scene.
Gu Beihuai frantically looked for an exit with a decryption code in hand. Nan Xiangwan stared at the hundred plus locks and exploded on the spot.
Guan Liangzhe, Sha Ling, Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan were screaming in their respective compartments!
The barrage instantly became very lively, with everyone laughing hard filling the screen with "hahaha".
Ge Dongxuan's high pitched female screams went on for a long time, then caused resonance in the walls.
Sha Ling in the next compartment keenly picked up on this sound, then went to the wall and knocked.
Knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Instantly, Ge Dongxuan's voice stopped.
Lan Tianyou: "What sound?"
Ge Dongxuan excitedly: "It's my teammate's secret code!"
Lan Tianyou: "Is it Nan Xiangwan?"
Ge Dongxuan: "No no, the temporary secret code between me and Sha Ling. We guessed we would be separated."
Lan Tianyou: "Is Sha Ling brave?"
Ge Dongxuan: "She hung on Nan Xiangwan with me last time."
Lan Tianyou: "..."
Ge Dongxuan found the wall connected to the next compartment and started knocking.
Knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Sha Ling excitedly shouted: "Ge Dongxuan?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Yes yes yes! You're next to me?"
Sha Ling: "Come save us quickly! I'm with Teacher Guan Liangzhe!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Ah! Ge Dongxuan? Help!"
Ge Dongxuan: "I can't save you, come save me!"
Lan Tianyou: "Me me me! We're here!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Little Lan? Ow!"
Lan Tianyou: "Brother Guan!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Little brother Lan!"
The 4 of them shouted desperately at a wall.
After shouting for half a day, what's the use? The door won't open by itself!
It could only make the audience laugh!
At this moment, the live studio footage switched to show a floor plan.
Turns out the 4 compartments were connected to each other, with the 2 weakling group compartments in the middle.
Nan Xiangwan was in compartment 1, connected to Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling's compartment 2, Ge Dongxuan and Lan Tianyou were in compartment 3, connected to Gu Beihuai's compartment 4.
That meant Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai were at the two ends of the 4 adjoining compartments.
The possibility of them working together was reduced to 0 by the program team!
The barrage laughed again, gloating.
As long as Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai don't meet up, it's impossible for the first stage to end quickly.
At this time in compartment 1, Nan Xiangwan sat on the floor looking at the hundred plus combination locks, nearly tearing her hair out!
It was killing her. Even if she could find the passwords for the locks, she still had to try one by one which lock it corresponded to.
How many years would it take to unlock them all?
Was there another way to escape?
Nan Xiangwan used her night vision skill to carefully look around, and the answer was no in the end.
She could only unlock them one by one!
So Nan Xiangwan collapsed onto the floor, walls and ceiling to look.
After working hard for a long time, she only unlocked 3 locks.
There were 97 left!
My god!
Crazy!
As time passed second by second, Guan Liangzhe, Sha Ling, Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan started squatting in corners of their respective compartments. The biggest obstacle for scaredy cats was taking the first step out of their psychological defense.
Finally Lan Tianyou stood up and said, "No, we have to try."
Ge Dongxuan looked at him admiringly, "Go Lan Tianyou!"
Lan Tianyou: "I'll go try squatting in another corner."
Ge Dongxuan: "..."
Lan Tianyou: "Really, there's ghosts, just haven't come out yet."
There would definitely be NPCs dressed up as ghosts, but why haven't they shown up for so long?
Was the program team kind today?
Very unlikely!
In the next compartment, Guan Liangzhe remained crouched without moving. Eventually Sha Ling stood up and started feeling the walls one by one.
Guan Liangzhe then came up with a guess, "Why do you think we're able to talk to the other side but not Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai?"
Sha Ling: "I saw a flash of light just now saying our compartment here is number 2."
Guan Liangzhe got up and knocked on the wall.
He started shouting, "Little Lan! What number is your compartment?"
Lan Tianyou's voice came through quickly, "Number 3!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Knock on the opposite wall, we'll knock here too. Number 1 and 4 should be Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai! Call them to come save us!"
Lan Tianyou admiringly said: "Okay! Brother Guan you're so smart!"
So the 2 groups of weaklings moved to the walls adjoining compartments 1 and 4 and started knocking.
But unfortunately, after knocking for a long time,
There was no response at all!
The live studio program team showed the floor plan again. When the audience saw it, they burst out laughing.
Indeed it was 4 adjoining compartments in a row.
But the wall between compartment 1 and 2 was empty, same for the wall between 3 and 4. That meant sound simply couldn't pass through.
Only compartments 2 and 3 could talk to each other.
The targeted nature of the program team's setup, details within details!
It eliminated any possibility of the 2 biggest loopholes getting assistance!
The barrage was filled with people laughing to tears. The 2 groups of weaklings gave up knocking and went back to squatting in the corners.
So what now? Just wait?
At this moment, Nan Xiangwan unlocked the 20th lock!
She found the trick. The password for the first lock was connected to the next ones.
As long as she found the first password, she just directly added 1 to it to get the next passwords.
And she had unlocked 3 locks previously. Finding the pattern now allowed her to unlock them all the way.
Click click click!
Just like that, with one breath, 20 locks were opened.
She continued right away. It was only a matter of time now.
Barrage —
: Nan Xiangwan's moment of glory!
: Did Nan Xiangwan's brain open up?
: Hahaha open up her brain! How amusing!
...
Nan Xiangwan opened 100 locks continuously here.
Snap!
The door opened.
She was actually the first to get through the first stage. Awesome!
Upon getting out, it was still pitch black. Nan Xiangwan quickly discovered the doors of the other two compartments.
Oh!
The doors had locks on them!
Nan Xiangwan leaned against the wall, face all scrunched up.
Annoyed enough to want to kick the wall!
Barrage —
: Laughing to death! So compartments 2 and 3 had to be unlocked from outside!
: Can't blame the 4 weaklings for being useless, because no matter how hard they tried it was useless hahaha!
: Too difficult! The entire decryption process was left to Nan Xiangwan alone?
: Nan Xiangwan online being irritable hahaha!
Chapter 283
At this time, looking at Gu Beihuai in workshop No.4. He was currently sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. His helmet had been taken off and his gloves were also thrown away. He gave up struggling because this workshop has no door at all!
It really has no door! Gu Beihuai was very passive at this time. The only chance to escape was to wait for his teammates to find the mechanism outside and then help him get out.
The program team's plan for the brain was no plan at all! Just lock people dead inside!
The barrage kept brushing the screen, indicating that the program team was really too cruel.
At this time, Nan XiangWan was in the corridor outside, frantically trying to unlock it. The locks of workshop No.2 and No.3 were different, one was a digital password lock and the other was an alphabet password lock.
It's too difficult for her!
Time passed under the interlocking program targeting two hours. The four people locked in workshops No. 2 and No. 3 were almost collapsed, unable to get out at all.
Nan Xiangwan was even more desperately scratching her head in front of the two password locks, and she finally couldn't stand it.
Bang!
She kicked the door!
A loud noise made Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling in workshop No.2 scream.
Guan Liangzhe: "Aw Aw Aw!"
Sha Ling: "Ah--"
Nan XiangWan made a hmm sound at the door. She saw the door shake before her eyes, and the big iron door was shaking. It was almost kicked open by her!
Should I give it another kick?
But at this time, Guan Liangzhe's voice rang out from inside the door: "Is there anyone outside? Ah?"
Nan XiangWan: "Me!"
When Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling heard this voice, they were excited on the spot.
Sha Ling: "Nan XiangWan, ah ah! Sister Wan!!!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Save me, Nan XiangWan!"
Nan XiangWan: "There is a password on this door, but I can't unlock it. Should I kick it open?"
Guan Liangzhe: "..."
Sha Ling: "There is a password! We found the password! It's Sunlight Elementary School, initials YGXX!"
They were locked in the workshop, and they did find clues after all, just couldn't open this door.
Nan XiangWan: "Letters? But there is a digital lock hanging on this door."
Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling were both puzzled, it could be like this? How to open it!
At this time, Nan XiangWan went to the door of workshop No. 3 and entered YGXX.
Ka!
The door opened!
The moment the door opened made Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan in workshop No. 3 scream.
Nan XiangWan: "It's me!"
The scream stopped abruptly.
The next second, a huge figure flew out and pounced into Nan XiangWan's arms.
Ge Dongxuan shouted and cried: "Wah wah wah! Woo woo woo! Sister Wan! I almost got scared to death, woo woo woo!"
Nan XiangWan: "..."
Get off me!
She dragged Ge Dongxuan down with one hand, then walked into workshop No. 3.
It turned out that the reason why these two workshops could talk to each other was that the password for workshop No. 2 corresponded to the lock at the door of workshop No. 3, and the password for workshop No. 3 corresponded to the lock for workshop No. 2.
You have to cross to open!
The program team really didn't treat them as human beings!
Lan Tianyou was also shouting, shouting and following Ge Dongxuan closely behind Nan XiangWan, with one hand holding the corner of Nan XiangWan's clothes, never leaving her side.
Nan XiangWan has extremely strong night vision ability. After entering workshop No. 3, she quickly found the password clue.
4243!
She dragged the two useless cowards who didn't dare to look up, back to the door of workshop No. 2, entered the password.
Ka!
The door opened accordingly!
Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling rushed out instantly, shouting ah ah.
Sha Ling and Ge Dongxuan both pounced on Nan XiangWan, while Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou hugged each other.
The four useless cowards were finally saved!
Nan XiangWan wiped the sweat, she worked so hard this episode.
The five people walked to the last workshop outside, there was no door, but the number 4 was written clearly on the wall.
Gu Beihuai was still locked inside!
Nan XiangWan: "There is no door, how to open it."
Lan Tianyou: "There must be an entrance and exit, otherwise how did they get in!"
Guan Liangzhe: "We shouted for a long time and got no response. Maybe he's not inside."
Nan XiangWan moved her leg and wanted to kick.
Whatever the wall material is, can't she kick it open!
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling pulled her back with one hand each.
Ge Dongxuan: "Calm down! Let's calm down, okay!"
Sha Ling: "Sister Wan, you can do it! Sister Wan, you've unlocked three doors, come on come on!"
While the two were talking, the lights in the corridor suddenly started flashing.
Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou immediately became vigilant and hugged each other.
Lan Tianyou: "Here it comes!"
Guan Liangzhe: "It's coming again, aw aw aw!"
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling also became scared and desperately drilled towards Nan XiangWan's arms.
Nan XiangWan stood like a bronze wall and iron bastion, blocking the four people in front of her.
At this moment, the flickering lights went out for a moment.
Then I heard the sound of the wall vibrating, and the opposite side of the corridor lit up the next second.
It looked like...
A classroom?
There was a door and windows.
It really was a classroom!
Dim lights lit up in the classroom, layer by layer, not very bright.
But enough to see the situation inside clearly.
The door clearly read Grade 5 Class 1.
Through the two large windows, rows of desks and chairs could be seen inside the classroom.
There was someone sitting on each chair, wearing white school uniforms, heads seriously looking at the blackboard.
The five people looked at the situation across, and they all had a bunch of question marks.
Guan Liangzhe: "Students? Elementary school? Grade 5 Class 1."
Lan Tianyou: "It's fine, it's not scary."
Just as he finished saying this sentence the next second.
Swish!
The 44 students in the classroom collectively turned around, moving in unison.
Their hands and bodies did not move, but their heads turned 180 degrees to look at the five people in the corridor outside the window, as if their necks were twisted!
Their eyes were bleeding and their faces were pale!
Guan Liangzhe: "Aw!!"
Lan Tianyou: "Oh my god!"
Ge Dongxuan: "Ah--"
Sha Ling: "Ah ah ah!"
The four cowards were scared to death, the picture was too, too terrifying!
Nan XiangWan, on the other hand, was surprised and crawled onto the window to watch.
How did they do that? Were they real people?
How could the neck turn 180 degrees?
Damn it!
The horrible picture flashed by quickly, and soon returned to pitch black.
The barrage also went crazy, crazily brushing "protect me" "high energy".
It was really too scary!
Not long after that, the lights in the corridor and classroom turned on again, no longer pitch black.
The lights that finally turned on gave the four cowards a sense of security.
Nan XiangWan looked at the classroom in front of her and walked in.
She had night vision ability to see mechanisms.
Originally there was no classroom here. It was a wall. The mechanism made the wall rise to reveal the classroom.
At this time, the classroom was empty, and those ghost students had disappeared.
This left Nan XiangWan puzzled, because when they disappeared, she didn't see how they disappeared. The wall came down again, blocking the process.
But it could be guessed that those little ghosts must be real human NPCs!
Just how to make the neck turn 180 degrees?
It's like real ghosts!
Nan XiangWan took the four useless cowards into the empty classroom and began looking for clues.
As for Gu Beihuai, oh, he was still locked up!
Chapter 284
At this time, the live broadcast showed that Gu Beihuai was almost bored to sleep.
After Nan Xiangwan walked into the classroom, she began to investigate the clues.
The four small wastes still didn't dare to come in, lingering at the door, crowding together with faces full of horror.
Ge Dongxuan: "Ah ah ah Xiangwan, there are ghosts!"
Nan Xiangwan: "I know."
Ge Dongxuan: "Their necks can turn 180 degrees!"
Nan Xiangwan: "I saw it."
Ge Dongxuan: "They were just sitting in this classroom!"
Nan Xiangwan: "Well, they're gone now."
Just as Ge Dongxuan wanted to say something more, the lights in the corridor started flashing again.
Guan Liangzhe screamed and ran into the classroom, rushing towards Nan Xiangwan.
Lan Tianyou was equally fast, immediately rushing towards Nan Xiangwan.
At this point, forget about whether there were ghosts in the classroom or not, following Nan Xiangwan was the way to go!
Since this was Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling's first time on the show, they didn't know the rules yet, so they were a few seconds late.
But in just those few seconds, the two saw the scene at the end of the corridor.
There were a few students wearing white school uniforms, with bloody faces, standing there smiling at them.
Ge Dongxuan: "Ah---!!!"
Sha Ling: "Oh my god!"
The two ran into the classroom like crazy, and threw themselves directly into Nan Xiangwan's arms.
They didn't even dare to lift their heads!
Scared to death!
Nan Xiangwan picked up the two little wastes with one hand each and put them aside, then lowered her head to continue looking for clues.
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling had no choice but to hug each other and scream.
Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou had already hidden under the table, and would not get up no matter what.
Nan Xiangwan observed the desktop and found that there were student numbers and names written on the desks.
But only the last two rows of desks had student numbers without names.
Number 42 and number 43.
Nan Xiangwan instantly realized that this was exactly the password for Workshop 2!
Why were the names of students number 42 and 43 missing?
The huge mystery left her unable to figure it out for the time being.
She glanced down at Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou, who were hiding under the table, almost conjoined twins!
Nan Xiangwan: "Tell me what happened to number 42 and 43?"
At this time, Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling had also learned from the other two to hide under the desks.
Sha Ling suddenly exclaimed, "There are words inside this desk!"
The others were instantly attracted and moved over.
With the five heads squeezed together to take a look.
Clearly written inside the desk were the words: The two monsters are so ugly!
Lan Tianyou: "Monsters? Two of them?"
Guan Liangzhe: "Are they talking about students number 42 and 43?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Let's see if there are words inside the other desks."
The five people searched separately and found that many of the desks had words written inside, all ridiculing, vilifying and humiliating.
Guan Liangzhe: "It says here: How do those two guys in the last row still have the nerve to come to school?"
Lan Tianyou: "Mine also says: Hope those two freaks die soon!"
Sha Ling: "So they were victims of school bullying?"
Ge Dongxuan: "So they killed the whole class in revenge? Turning them into ghosts?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Normal ghosts can't twist their heads 180 degrees either."
Everyone: "......"
You're focusing on such strange details!
At that moment, the lights in the classroom suddenly dimmed, then the lights in the hallway outside lit up.
The four wastes instinctively hugged each other, trembling in fear.
Nan Xiangwan looked seriously towards the corridor.
She saw many students appear in the corridor, all wearing white school uniforms. They walked into the classroom together, laughing and frolicking.
The four wastes' pupils suddenly enlarged in fear as they fled to the corner, not daring to move.
How could this be? How did they get in?
Watching as the group of students walked in, seemingly unaware of the five of them, and sat down in their seats.
Ding ling ling!
The bell for class rang.
The students sat up properly, then suddenly--!
Their heads collectively twisted 180 degrees!
Their posture remained unchanged, but their occiputs faced forward!
The four wastes screamed on the spot.
Guan Liangzhe: "Aaah! Aaaah!"
Lan Tianyou: "Ahhh!"
Ge Dongxuan: "Ahhh---!!"
Sha Ling: "So close, I really can't stand it!"
The four fled the classroom in terror, scared pissless.
Nan Xiangwan was dragged along by the four pairs of hands and brought out of the classroom together.
However, she was not so scared, only curious as to how their necks could twist like that?
And she also noticed a detail - among all 44 students, the two students in the last row originally had their occiputs facing forward to begin with. After the necks of the other 42 students twisted 180 degrees, the entire classroom of students became like those two students.
As Nan Xiangwan was dragged and running along, the few people found the elevator at the end of the corridor.
Guan Liangzhe reacted swiftly and slammed on the button.
The elevator doors opened and the four wastes crowded in with Nan Xiangwan.
Lan Tianyou pressed the floor button with trembling hands, only able to go up to the 2nd floor.
Just as the elevator doors quickly closed, they could still hear the recitation sounds coming from the classroom.
Imagining a group of students reciting with their heads twisted back was so creepy!
Fortunately, the elevator quickly rose up to the 2nd floor and the reciting sounds soon faded away.
At the same moment when the elevator started rising up...
The walls connecting Corridor 4 where Gu Beihuai was and the hallway began to move upwards, as if flipping over like a screen to reveal another wall.
Finally, there was a door on this new wall! Gu Beihuai could vaguely see the incoming light seeping in through the door cracks.
He walked up and found the 4-digit password on the door, entering the numbers.
0501!
Click!
The door opened.
Danmu commentary:
- So what's going on? A door only appeared after the other 5 people left Gu Beihuai behind?
- The show is clearly demonstrating the two big loopholes of escape rooms! This is running parallel storylines!
- What Gu Beihuai has to face now is going solo, so dangerous!
......
Gu Beihuai walked out, facing directly the terrifying classroom.
The students in the classroom had 180-degree twisted necks as they read books.
The scene looked creepy no matter how you looked at it!
But viewers saw something different.
Danmu commentary:
- Damn! Scary! Two people went missing!
- Yes, didn't you notice the last row is missing two seats?
- Where did those two students go?
- Hehehe! Of course to find the other four wastes!
......
Gu Beihuai was puzzled at first, then looked left and right down the corridor.
The elevator had been blocked off from view behind cover panels and disappeared.
The only place he could go to now was the classroom full of little ghosts right in front.
So...
Gu Beihuai stretched out his foot and walked in.
The instant he entered--!
Brush!
The students collectively stood up with backs of heads facing front and shouted.
"Good morning teacher!"
Gu Beihuai: "......"
Danmu commentary:
- Pfft! Hahaha!
- Gu Beihuai became a teacher!
- What kind of crazy plot is this?
- The show's creativity is impressive!
......
Gu Beihuai watched their occiputs helplessly.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he then walked towards the podium.
Gu Beihuai: "Good morning class, please sit."
Brush!
The students sat down in orderly fashion.
Other than those bizarre backwards-facing heads, everything seemed normal?
Gu Beihuai saw only chalk on the podium.
So he has to teach class here?
What should he teach...
Gu Beihuai picked up a piece of chalk, about to start the lesson.
Swish!
Suddenly a student from the front row stood up: "Teacher!"
Gu Beihuai looked at his occiput: "Yes, speak."
The student: "I want to make a complaint. I don't want to take class with the disabled!"
Gu Beihuai frowned: "You can't discriminate against classmates."
The student paused, then continued: "My mom said if the school doesn't expel those two disabled people, she'll help me transfer!"
Gu Beihuai threw down the chalk: "Then transfer."

User1: Hahaha! Transfer schools!
User2: Gu Beihuai has no patience, but his words are golden!
User3: The God of Teaching is here to teach you how to be a decent person! Discrimination is not good, kiddo!
...
As soon as Gu Beihuai spoke, the student burst into tears and ran out of the classroom.
Soon after, other students also left, crying.
Gu Beihuai was left with a puzzled expression, wanting to see what was going on.
But before he could step out...
Ding Ling Ling!
The bell for class rang.
The students, as if following an order, stopped crying and turned around collectively, walking back into the classroom while playfully searching for their seats.
Gu Beihuai stood at the podium, furrowing his brows in confusion.
The students sat upright in their seats, of course, with the back of their heads facing forward.
Then, in unison, they stood up.
"Good morning, teacher!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
If he didn't speak, the students would just stand there silently, each with the back of their head facing him.
Helpless, Gu Beihuai spoke, "Good morning, students. Please take your seats."
And once again, they sat down in unison.
Then, it was that same student who stood up and shouted, "Teacher! I have an objection. I don't want to attend class with disabled people!"
Gu Beihuai: ???
Again?
This time, Gu Beihuai didn't immediately reply. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "Why?"
The student replied, "My mom said disabled people are a burden! If you don't expel those two, then let me transfer!"
Gu Beihuai said, "Go talk to the principal about it."
The student wailed and ran out of the classroom.
Other students followed, leaving in pairs or groups, wandering in the corridor.
And before long, the class bell rang again!
The plot repeated once more.
The students returned to the classroom, sat down altogether, and then stood up, shouting, "Good morning, teacher!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
He wouldn't teach this class!
What a mess!
While Gu Beihuai was going through the repetitive plot in the first-floor classroom...
Nan Xiangwan appeared on the second-floor corridor with four little troublemakers on either side. On the left and right were two rooms: a teacher's office and the principal's office.
Guan Liangzhe: "This school is pretty run-down, huh? Just one classroom and two offices."
Lan Tianyou: "Fortunately, it's run-down. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to leave tomorrow."
Ge Dongxuan: "Ah Wan, carry me!"
Sha Ling: "Ah Wan, take me with you. I can't open my eyes."
Guan Liangzhe: "Wow, someone even more useless than the two of us has arrived."
Lan Tianyou: "Actually, the two of us aren't much better."
The doors of the two offices were unlocked and could be opened directly.
Ge Dongxuan exclaimed, "It's surprisingly easy!"
Lan Tianyou said, "Hehe! Let me tell you, the simpler the variety show, the scarier it is."
He had experienced firsthand the horror of brushing shoulders with ghosts!
The teacher's office had two desks, each labeled 'Chinese Teacher' and 'Math Teacher.'
Guan Liangzhe: "No foreign language? So rudimentary!"
Sha Ling: "What era is this school from?"
After searching the classrooms and offices, the group found some materials, and by then, they had roughly outlined the story.
Among the 44 students in Class 1 of the fifth grade, there were two special students.
They were twins born with congenital disabilities. Their necks twisted at an angle as if their heads were growing in the opposite direction. The two students had been subjected to long-term discrimination and bullying in their class. The parents of other students had repeatedly requested the expulsion of the twins, but the principal had rejected their requests for various reasons.
Upon reading this, Sha Ling shook her head and said, "The principal is actually quite good to accommodate these students in the school."
Ge Dongxuan replied, "Not only are the students discriminating against them, but the teachers as well. It's really pitiful."
Guan Liangzhe added, "And they are orphaned twins, who are also disabled..."
Lan Tianyou chimed in, "They are so unfortunate!"
Nan XiangWan asked, "Are there any other clues?"
Lan Tianyou replied, "None. Let's go to the principal's office and have a look."
The five of them entered the principal's office and quickly discovered a safe in the corner.
It had a six-digit password.
They began searching through the documents on the desk, trying various combinations.
Nan XiangWan glanced at the combination lock and shook her head. She always got a headache whenever she saw one!
At that moment, Lan Tianyou walked over and said, "Let's try randomly."
He then pressed six random numbers.
And voila!
The lock opened!
Instantly, the entire live audience and the other four people were amazed.
"It opened?"
"How did it open?"
Lan Tianyou looked bewildered and said, "I... I just pressed random numbers!"
Guan Liangzhe said, "I heard you have incredibly good luck. It seems to be true..."
Sha Ling exclaimed, "Unbelievable! Can it be that easy?"
Ge Dongxuan exclaimed, "Oh my god! That's amazing!"
Nan XiangWan said irritably, "Why isn't it someone who can open a hundred combination locks?"
Just mentioning it made her annoyed.
Barrage comments:
"Lan Tianyou is the real lucky star of the entertainment industry!"
"With that luck, why doesn't he buy a lottery ticket?"
"He did buy it, hahaha!"
"Lan Tianyou bought one! He won a million! It happened last year, and he even bragged about it on Weibo. The next day, a lot of people asked him for money, hahaha!"
"Hahaha! I know about that too. I was following it."
"At that time, Lan Tianyou was asking online how to refuse others when they asked for money!"
...
After opening the safe, they quickly discovered crucial information.
It was a sponsorship document!
As it turned out, the principal had taken in the two disabled students for free and publicized it to the society to gain fame and profit.
Not only did they receive a large amount of donations from people in society, but they also received recognition from the government.
This paved the way for the principal's future, making him increasingly wealthy.
He embezzled every single donation!
Upon reading this, Sha Ling slapped her own mouth and said, "I actually praised him earlier?"
Ge Dongxuan asked, "Is this principal even human?"
Lan Tianyou exclaimed, "This is outrageous! Exploiting disabled students for personal gain!"
Guan Liangzhe added, "The most important thing is that the two disabled students have suffered so much in this school!"
Nan XiangWan clicked her tongue in annoyance.
The group continued searching for more things but it seemed that was all there was, and nothing else.
What should they do next?
Go back to the first floor?
Just as the five of them were perplexed, the lights began to flash.
Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou instinctively hugged each other and crouched down, searching the corners.
Here it comes again!
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling also started to have the same instincts and instantly squeezed into Nan XiangWan's embrace.
The terrifying things were coming again!
Sure enough, two little boys appeared at the entrance!
They held hands, with their heads bowed forward, their faces obscured from view.
But the chilling voices could be heard.
"Play with us."
"Will you come and play with us?"
Nan XiangWan replied, "Sure, sure!"
With that, she let go of Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling, and walked towards them.
The two little boys began to laugh, their laughter seemingly filled with joy, yet the sound was incredibly eerie.
It was like the sound of bones grinding together, a clacking noise.
Then, their heads twisted back into place, revealing two faces covered in scars!
Some were shallow, some were deep, as if inflicted by a sharp object.
One of the boys even had scars over his eyes, completely blinded.
Witnessing this scene, the four children were terrified, crying out like frightened ghosts and wolves!
Chapter 286
When normal people saw this scene, they would either be scared to death or try their best to avoid this obvious flaw.
But Nan XiangWan was not a normal person. She asked directly at the scene: "What's wrong with your faces?"
She asked very sincerely without any discrimination. This stunned the two little boys for a moment.
What? So direct?
But the NPCs were professional. After the initial confusion, they began to follow the script.
No. 42 lowered his head: "They cut my face with a small knife."
No. 43 was blind in one eye and looked even more aggrieved: "The Principal said I have to be blind in one eye and his head has to grow crooked."
As soon as he said this, the barrage was filled with curses.
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling couldn't stand it either. At this moment, they didn't care about being scared and started scolding.
Sha Ling: "So their disability was not congenital? It's man-made?!"
Ge Dongxuan: "Inhumane! Damn!"
Guan Liangzhe: "No no, it should be possible that they were disabled from the beginning. Originally they might have grown up normally, but..."
Lan Tianyou: "But the Principal made them truly disabled for money and reputation!"
Nan XiangWan: "What a broken school."
After the two little boys finished speaking, they lifted their heads again with creepy smiles.
No. 42: "Come play with us, okay?"
No. 43: "No one is willing to play with us! Brother and sister, would you like to play with us?"
They were so pitiful that the five people agreed to play games.
So they entered the thrilling part!
No. 42 jumped up and down excitedly: "Great!"
No. 43: "Let's play the pen spirit!"
Nan XiangWan: "What is the pen spirit?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Ah - I don't want to!"
Sha Ling: "Scared to death, no no no!"
Guan Liangzhe: "I knew I shouldn't have agreed."
Lan Tianyou: "Can we still take it back?"
The two little boys seemed to not hear them and held hands while jumping in circles.
No. 42: "Pen spirit! Pen spirit!"
No. 43: "We're going to play the pen spirit again!"
The barrage began to boil.
Pen spirit! Pen spirit!
The thrilling part is here!
The two little boys were still dancing at the door. Lan Tianyou couldn't stand it anymore. He took a pen from the table.
The movements of the twins stopped and they quieted down.
The two stood smiling at the door, staring inside.
The four wimps began to cry for their lives. Did they really have to play the pen spirit?
They didn't want to play!
Nan XiangWan looked excited: "Let's play!"
Lan Tianyou shivered and put a piece of paper on the table.
Guan Liangzhe started explaining: "First let me introduce this game, but no matter what, you must believe in science!"
After the rules were explained, the five surrounded in a circle and started playing.
Nan XiangWan was brave and held the pen.
Ge Dongxuan swallowed and asked, "Pen spirit, pen spirit, please tell us where is the exit?"
Everyone held their breath, and the four wimps were so scared that cold sweat kept flowing.
The two little boys at the door still smiled.
At this moment, Nan XiangWan was surprised to find the pen in her hand vibrating!
She clenched it hard!
Why was it moving?
Guan Liangzhe screamed: "Oh! The pen really moved ah ah ah!"
Lan Tianyou: "Ah ah ah! Help... Oh no, it's supposed to move, otherwise how can we play this game?"
Ge Dongxuan cried directly: "I'm scared woo woo ah!"
Sha Ling: "What the hell really moves?"
Only then did Nan XiangWan react. Oh, she had to let the pen move on its own.
So she relaxed her strength and let the pen vibrate on its own on the paper.
Somehow the pen zigzagged and drew a line, then started drawing arrows.
Ge Dongxuan: "!!!"
Sha Ling: "The pen spirit answered!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Friends! What about believing in science?"
Lan Tianyou: "I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to faint."
Barrage -
: I'm also going to faint!
: What principle? How does it move?
: Is there really a pen spirit in this world?
: Everyone calm down! You have to believe in science!
: Gu Beihuai! Ah ah! I miss Gu the Great so much now! Come and explain it! What exactly is going on?
: Damn! If the show doesn't give a reasonable explanation it's going to explode!
.....
Director Hua Yuanwu looked at the live broadcast barrage and effect, nodded in satisfaction.
Next to him, a staff member was sweating profusely while operating a large machine.
Damn!
Nan XiangWan's strength just now was so great that he almost lost control of the pen despite struggling for half a day...
............
At this time, in the principal's office.
That pen kept vibrating and drew an arrow pointing in one direction.
The four wimps huddled together, scared to death.
Only Nan XiangWan studied the arrow for a while: "Where is this pointing to?"
Lan Tianyou shakily pointed up: "Up?"
Nan XiangWan suddenly realized: "Go upstairs!"
But at this time, the two little boys at the door still hadn't left. Seeing them want to move, they kept turning around and shouting.
"Play the pen spirit! Play the pen spirit!"
Ge Dongxuan collapsed: "Still playing?"
Sha Ling: "Help, save me!"
Guan Liangzhe: "I take back what I said before. This is the most terrifying!"
Lan Tianyou: "I'm done. I'm going to faint."
Nan XiangWan looked at the twins at the door. Huh? This time the boys gave way at the door.
Did they mean for them to go downstairs to find Gu Beihuai?
So the five got ready and walked out of the principal's office.
As Nan XiangWan walked out, she was a little curious and touched the back of the necks of the two little boys.
She was still wondering about their twitching necks!
This move scared the other four to death. My god, they almost wanted to walk around them, but you actually reached out and touched them?
Coming to the corridor, they groped back to the elevator.
Ge Dongxuan was really curious and asked, "Is it real? Isn't it cold? Isn't it a ghost?"
Nan XiangWan: "Of course it's a real person, NPC!"
Sha Ling: "I really thought I was playing games with ghosts for a moment."
Guan Liangzhe: "Me too, me too."
Lan Tianyou: "They're following us!"
This was quite scary.
When they looked back, the two little boys were indeed following them!
Right behind them!
The four wimps screamed again on the spot and rushed into the elevator.
Nan XiangWan looked back and led the two little boys in together.
The other four people in the elevator looked at Nan XiangWan in horror. You didn't run away. Instead, you led them in the door?
One of the little boys was a little shy and said something that violated the NPC rules: "Thank you Sister Nan XiangWan."
Ge Dongxuan: "???"
Sha Ling: "Nan XiangWan fan? You are a fan of Nan XiangWan?"
The little boy knew he had said the wrong thing and instantly fell silent, standing still in the elevator.
After pressing the first floor, the elevator started operating and everyone returned to the first floor corridor.
At this time, cries came from the classroom.
At the same time, Gu Beihuai's scolding could be heard: "Wrong again! Write it a hundred times for punishment!"
Chapter 287
When Gu Beihuai's voice was heard, Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou were so excited that they rushed into the classroom without any fear.
Guan Liangzhe: "Roar! Heavenly King, we finally found you!"
Lan Tianyou: "Teacher Gu ahhh!"
The two pounced over and sandwiched Gu Beihuai on both sides, wanting to celebrate.
But Gu Beihuai frowned and pushed the two away, then immediately tapped the blackboard with his hand, looking very serious.
Gu Beihuai: "Hurry up! If you can't solve this problem, you are not allowed to leave the class!"
All the little friends in the class were crying, and I don't know if it was because Gu Beihuai was too strict, those 180-degree twisted back of the heads also returned to normal.
The little faces cried wow wow, really crying not acting, tears flew and the makeup under their eyes was smeared into a black lump.
It looked both scary and funny!
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling were stunned, but didn't know what to say, so they just bowed there and greeted King Tian Gu.
Nan Xiangwan tilted her head, temporarily unable to understand what was going on.
Gu Beihuai was very angry at this time. He just didn't understand why they still couldn't do such a simple problem after teaching it over and over again. How many times did he have to teach?
So when he got angry, his aura amplified infinitely, scaring a group of NPC little friends to cry twitchingly.
Danmu -
: These few people have finally gathered, I have been listening to Gu Beihuai's lesson for an hour!
: I reviewed primary school math knowledge with him, I'm also hopeless!
: Laughing to death! A very scary show was forcibly turned into a live teaching by Gu Beihuai!
......
Students No. 42 and No. 43 were also confused at this time, this was not how the plot was supposed to go!
Why is everyone crying?
What should we do next?
The two looked at each other, then hardily held hands and started spinning in circles.
"Planchette! Planchette! Planchette!"
When this was shouted, it pulled Gu Beihuai, who was immersed in teaching, back.
He looked at the others in confusion: "What's the situation?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Playing planchette! It's so fun! We just played it upstairs."
Sha Ling thought of something, her lips turned white: "No, we were sending off the planchette, we didn't send off the planchette just now!"
Ge Dongxuan started screaming directly: "Ah– Mom!"
Lan Tianyou's voice was not much better, his male soprano came out: "Ah ah! So scary!"
Guan Liangzhe: "It's over! We didn't send off the planchette!"
Next, everyone felt a gust of yin wind around them.
Cold~
Gu Beihuai was speechless for a moment, looking at the students in the classroom, and put down the chalk.
He finally figured out that the program team had not designed an escape route for him at all. There was no separate next level task in this classroom.
The only way he could continue the game was to wait for Nan Xiangwan and the others to show up.
Now that the two sides have finally converged, they have to face a weird planchette game again?
At this moment, Gu Beihuai couldn't even guess the program team's thoughts.
Under the lead of No. 42 and No. 43, the other students in Class 5 Grade 1 also returned to their state and continued acting.
I saw the students all stood up, their eyes blankly walking forward.
Then, the wind roared outside the door!
Whoosh– Whoosh–
The classroom door was blown up, shaking, then banging on the wall.
The glass windows shook even more, constantly making collision sounds.
The students walked out of the classroom, then stood in the corridors, facing the classroom, looking inside through the windows.
Those pairs of eyes were very sluggish, like dead people's.
The live audience was collectively scared and started frantically brushing danmu.
At this time, No. 42 and No. 43, their laughter stopped abruptly, and the two pointed to the end of the corridor and shouted loudly.
"It's here! It's here!"
After saying that, the two hid behind the other students.
The wind rose wildly around!
The four losers huddled together, screaming in fear.
Gu Beihuai stood in front of everyone, looking towards the classroom door.
Nan Xiangwan was super excited, rubbing her fists.
Is there really a planchette?
What does it look like?
Soon, they heard footsteps, and then three adults walked out.
One man and two women, all ghosts.
That face, ghastly white!
The four losers lost their voices on the spot and squeezed under the podium to hide.
At this time, only Gu Beihuai and Nan Xiangwan were still standing in the classroom, looking outside together.
Nan Xiangwan has good eyesight and clearly saw tags on the chests of the three, the man was the principal and the two women were the Chinese and math teachers.
These three ghosts did not enter the classroom, but stood still in the corridor.
The principal scolded loudly, his voice thundering, "Where are those two wastes? Come out! Don't hide!"
Gu Beihuai frowned, what's the situation again?
The Chinese teacher grinned, revealing a creepy smile: "Two wastes, still hiding?"
The math teacher directly took out a whip and lashed hard on the ground: "Come out!"
The students lined up in the corridor were in chaos, some laughing, some pointing, some punching and kicking.
The plot was still continuing. Nan Xiangwan and others had gone upstairs earlier and understood.
It should be one of the campus violence scenes against two disabled students when they were alive.
Gu Beihuai roughly guessed some parts, but after all he didn't follow the main storyline, so he watched very carefully now.
Guan Liangzhe curiously poked a head out from under the podium, wanting to watch.
But at this moment, the principal suddenly turned his head and looked towards the classroom!
Guan Liangzhe hurriedly shrank his head back, scared to death.
The danmu also started to brush crazily!
This sudden gaze coming over was really scary!
But the plot continued next.
Among the rows of standing students, the principal grinned as he threaded through, searching.
Finally he dragged students No. 42 and No. 43 out!
Principal: "Hahaha found them!"
The math teacher immediately whipped them fiercely with the whip.
Slap! Slap slap!
The Chinese teacher's scolding was interspersed with the sound of the whip: "You still dare to resist! Do you still resist or not?!"
No. 42 and No. 43 started crying, but the crying turned weird midway.
Then, the two laughed.
"Planchette! Planchette! Planchette come out!"
Whoosh– Whoosh–
Another gust of yin wind blew in.
As the wind rose, the principal and the two teachers suddenly stopped moving, slowly twisting their necks and limb joints, making a creaking "ka ka" sound of friction.
Then, right in front of Nan Xiangwan and the others' eyes, the three twisted their necks 180 degrees backwards, with the back of their heads facing the front, and their arm joints bent at unbelievable angles as if dislocated.
The remaining students also collectively twisted their necks with "ka ka" sounds.
They all turned into a weird posture with the backs of their heads facing forward!
No. 42 and No. 43 were still spinning circles on the spot, yelling planchette.
The shouting was getting louder and louder, and the sound of the wind was getting more and more intense, as if something ghostly was about to rush out!
The four losers were all shocked and stunned, huddled together under the podium, shivering.
Gu Beihuai subconsciously glanced sideways, then moved his position slightly to ensure that Nan Xiangwan would not be the first to encounter anything later if anything happened.
Nan Xiangwan's focus was on that whip, the whipping sounds were loud, but in fact it didn't hit the children.
It has to be said that the acting was superb, she almost applauded!
Chapter 288
Just as the howling gale, suddenly!
Spurt—
Blood began to spurt from the principal's body as his body was squeezed and deformed.
But he seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to twist his arms and neck ceaselessly, as the blood kept spurting out.
The scene was ghastly and vivid, leaving the four pathetic losers stunned and dumbfounded.
Oh my god! Was this really just an act?
Should we send him to the hospital?
The two teachers were in similar states, and soon all three collapsed in a pool of blood on the ground.
The students, on the other hand, began to panic at this moment, then screamed and cried loudly.
Student No. 42 and 43 laughed even louder, holding hands and spinning in circles.
"Spirit pen! Spirit pen!"
Ultimately, clack—
The lights abruptly went dark, surrounding them in pitch blackness.
Danmu/Comments:
: Is it over?
: Was this real or fake?
: I can't even tell if this is staged, how did they make it look so realistic with the spurting blood!
: Damn! I clearly saw the principal deform himself and die spurting blood.
The four pathetic losers were also scared silly, shuddering as they crawled out from the podium.
Lan Tianyou: "Shou...should we call the police?"
Guan Liangzhe: "Call an ambulance?"
Nan Xiangwan: "No worries, I smell a familiar tomato juice scent."
Gu Beihuai: "..."
Ge Dongxuan: "Uh, Wan darling your nose is so sharp."
Sha Ling: "You scared me to death, I thought it was real!"
Danmu/Comments:
: You scared us to death too!
: Did they overdo it? I almost called the police!
: Go out and see what's going on now!
Nan Xiangwan did not walk forward, because she saw the wall mechanism activate again, probably needing to wait a bit.
About thirty seconds later, the lights came back on.
The obstructing wall also rose back up, and now there was no one outside.
With the light back, the four pathetic losers were emboldened somewhat, following the two pros out to take a look.
The corridor was covered in blood stains, extremely gory!
There were even prop severed hands and feet, the visual impact of the scene was intense, like a slaughterhouse.
Gu Beihuai looked around, unable to set foot anywhere with so much blood on the ground.
Nan Xiangwan squatted down and sniffed: "Lots of tomato juice."
The others just stared blankly hearing this line.
Gu Beihuai: "Have you guys gone upstairs to check out the next clue yet?"
Nan Xiangwan: "We played spirit pen and it told us the exit is on the roof of the 2nd floor."
Guan Liangzhe: "But there's no button for the 3rd floor in the elevator, and we don't even know if there is a 3rd floor, or if it's the rooftop or something?"
Lan Tianyou: "Let's go find a way up."
Ge Dongxuan weakly asked: "There won't be any more ghosts coming out right? It should be over after that massacre!"
Sha Ling: "Don't forget the spirit pen hasn't left yet."
Ge Dongxuan: "Mommy! This show is too scary!"
The four shivered as they huddled tightly together.
Nan Xiangwan walked at the very front opening the way. Gu Beihuai brought up the rear. With one in front and one behind, it gave the four pathetic losers an immense sense of security.
After entering the elevator, right as Guan Liangzhe was about to press the button for the 2nd floor,
Clack!
The elevator abruptly shut its doors and was plunged into darkness.
Guan Liangzhe: "Oh my god!"
Lan Tianyou: "Help, help!"
Ge Dongxuan: "Ahhh help!"
Sha Ling: "Help, elevator malfunction!"
The four pathetic losers immediately started screaming as soon as it happened, each trying to be louder than the last.
With her night vision, Nan Xiangwan could see clearly that it didn't seem to be broken down.
Very quickly, the elevator began moving on its own.
Shooting upwards rapidly!
Then it came to an abrupt stop, ding, opening its doors.
The four's voices have gone hoarse from screaming, not even daring to lift their heads.
Nan Xiangwan stepped out with one foot into a space filled with the smell of rust, not a hallway, more like an attic.
Clearly not the 2nd floor.
Gu Beihuai: "3rd floor it is."
There was light, but very dim, and something felt off.
Guan Liangzhe took one look and refused to leave the elevator.
The others weren't much better off, huddling in the corner of the elevator.
By this time, Nan Xiangwan had already walked out several meters, examining the walls.
The surrounding moldy smells were pungent, and there was a very strong scent of rust.
The floor was littered with assorted items, with a door at the end.
It was an iron door, heavy-looking, with a lock hanging on it.
On the door was a very small rectangular iron window, probably only the size of one or two clenched fists. You could peer through this window to see the inside.
Nan Xiangwan looked in to discover it was an enclosed room.
It was covered in spiderwebs inside, with bunk beds, and the room was so tiny that besides these bunk beds, there was absolutely no space left for anything else.
Moreover there were no windows, the only ventilation was that small iron opening on the door!
Danmu/Comments:
: What is this? A room for two children?
: Isn't this room too small? What crappy conditions!
: Look how low that ceiling is, yet they put in bunk beds, were they trying to smother two kids to death?
: The principal took all those hefty donations, and this is the condition he gave to two children? Is he still human?
: No worries no worries, they've become ghosts now, the spirit pen is getting revenge for the two kids!
: I'm completely behind the spirit pen this round!
: Turns out it was a good spirit pen!
Nan Xiangwan saw the lock and got a headache, calling back: "Come quick, there's a lock here!"
Gu Beihuai hurried over.
Behind them, the four pathetic losers were forced to speed up to not get left behind, almost running over.
Soon, six of them were crowded around this large lock researching how to get through.
The surrounding moldy smells were strong. This lock required a key, and the keyhole was also rusted with a little spider crawling out.
Ge Dongxuan swallowed: "There are still spiders..."
Sha Ling: "They made this so realistic, it's like we crossed over."
Guan Liangzhe: "After a few more episodes, you'll understand the crew's insane operations."
Lan Tianyou: "With this set up and scene, could they have really spent years preparing it?"
Gu Beihuai: "Overthinking. Why would they spend money like that? They used rapid rust agents, the little spider is also harmless."
The professional explanation triggered waves of "666" danmu praises.
Nan Xiangwan: "Let's first find the key, can't wait any longer."
Everyone began looking around separately for the key. The items covering the floor were heaped in piles, making it difficult to search.
Lan Tianyou had moved to the corner most area, flipping through a stack of archive bags. He had originally intended to see if there was anything hidden under the archive bags.
Unexpectedly...
Clack!
The mouth of the archive bag faced down and a key dropped out.
Everyone: "???"
Danmu: "???"
Crew: "!!!"
Chapter 289
Lan Tianyou picked up the key with a completely bewildered look on his face, appearing as innocent as if he had just arrived in this world.
Guan Liangzhe excitedly jumped up: "Wow! Amazing little brother Lan!"
Ge Dongxuan instantly became a fan: "I've never seen anyone with such good luck!"
Sha Ling: "It shocks me for three thousand years."
Gu Beihuai took the key and inserted it into the keyhole to turn it.
KaCha!
The big lock on the door opened.
The four useless youths cheered on the spot, hugging each other while hopping up and down, shaking the attic floorboards with creaking sounds.
Still shocked from the fright, the four were currently in a weakened mental state. Hearing this sound scared them again, and they instantly dared not move.
Nan Xiangwan didn't even bother looking at them, she raised her foot and walked into the room.
The small room was oppressively dark. The bed didn't even have a mattress on it, just a tattered cloth laying on top acting as a sheet.
There were no beddings underneath the bed frame, only test papers and other study materials scattered around.
Probably because space was so limited, the two children could only use one bed as a desk while squeezing together to sleep on the other.
Gu Beihuai picked up a pen with a cracked shaft that was still in use.
Sha Ling: "The conditions here are too harsh!"
Ge Dongxuan: "There's not even a mattress? Just one tattered blanket?"
Guan Liangzhe could only shake his head helplessly.
Lan Tianyou rummaged through the scrolls on the bed and soon found a very worn notebook. As soon as he opened it, there were shocking words.
Lan Tianyou: "Let me read it to you!"
"March 20: It rained today. So cold, but my brother and I have no clothes to wear."
"March 29: My classmates ridiculed us for being monsters again today. My brother's illness has worsened. Why do they scold us?"
"March 30: My brother's and my names were crossed out. They said we don't deserve to have names. Why do they scold us every day?"
"April 1: April Fool's day. My brother and I were tricked and forced to jump down from the building..."
"April 3: A transfer student joined today with student ID #44. I'm finally not the last student ID number!"
"April 5: The transfer student scolded me and brother today. He said he just wanted to fit in since the whole class discriminates against us. He didn't want to be different from the others."
"April 10: The class president said the whole class would be very happy if my brother and I died."
"... "
"May 2: Why do this to me! Why don't they go die instead? Why don't they go die!"
"May 30: Brother, I miss Mom."
"June 1: It's Children's Day today. Will I get to see Mom? Mom, if you can hear me, can you fulfill my wish? I want my classmates to become like me and brother, so they will stop ridiculing us."
After reading the diary, Lan Tianyou's brows furrowed tightly.
Guan Liangzhe: "This is the course of a descent into darkness!"
Sha Ling: "Just how much injustice and verbal abuse did they suffer to end up like this?"
Ge Dongxuan: "The last entries scare me."
Nan Xiangwan didn't say anything, just pursed her lips.
Gu Beihuai: "The tongue contains Dragon Spring water that can kill without bloodshed."
Livestream comments:
- Summary: The principal forcibly stuffed the conjoined twins into this school. Due to lack of timely treatment for their physical defects, they were ridiculed and discriminated by their classmates. The teachers and parents turned a blind eye, heavily damaging the twins psychologically leading to their descent into darkness.
- So the spirit is...?
- Did the twins die?
...
The atmosphere turned silent and oppressive. This episode was frighteningly dark.
Lan Tianyou continued searching and the lucky king soon found more clues.
Guan Liangzhe: "Wow! This is...!"
Lan Tianyou: "Come quick, there are photos!"
Several heads immediately crowded over to look. It was a family photo.
A mother held two children in her arms, one in each hand. The children clearly had congenital disabilities with crooked necks.
But the mother's smile was bright, full of love in her eyes.
The back of the photo had writing on it.
"Mom will always love you!"
Lan Tianyou: "I found something else!"
This guy seemed to have unlimited luck, continuously discovering key items.
It was a newspaper clipping.
Guan Liangzhe unleashed his powerful hosting skills and read it out clearly:
"Murder case in City A. Investigation reveals school principal suspected of embezzlement and illegal acts. Severe campus violence existed in the class, conjoined twins found dead in dorm room!"
"Shocking! All students and teachers of a 5th grade class in a certain school died! Scene was bloody and terrifying. School now blocked off!"
Lan Tianyou: "Too scary! So the twins were murdered?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Was the later murder case the spirit's doing?"
Sha Ling: "I wonder who the spirit is?"
Tired from standing, Lan Tianyou casually sat down on the lower bunk bed and saw another clue as soon as his bottom hit the bed.
He looked up and saw the dense writing on the back of the top bunk.
Lan Tianyou: "Here!"
The others turned to look and saw the dense lines of words.
Gu Beihuai: "An adult's handwriting. The twins' writing is on the scrolls and notebook, not like this. "
Guan Liangzhe: "Let me read it."
"My children, Mom has come."
"Don't be afraid, Mom will protect you."
"They will all die! Every single one of them will die!"
"My children, rest assured, they will join you soon, then..."
Lan Tianyou: "It's solved! The soul in the spirit is the twins' mom!"
Ge Dongxuan: "I'm scared to death, goosebumps all over!"
Nan Xiangwan: "I want to meet the spirit."
Sha Ling: "!!!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Nan Xiangwan, you're truly frightening."
The livestream audience also followed along to solve the mystery, fully embracing their amateur detective roles.
Comments:
- The mother died accidentally. The twins were trafficked to the principal who exploited them for profit!
- After the mother found out, she became a vengeful spirit possessing the pen and became the spirit.
- That's why the spirit helped the twins. The twins kept asking to play with the spirit.
- The spirit killed everyone, with their necks twisted 180 degrees before death, just like the twins' condition.
- The spirit is the mom! She fulfilled the twins' wish. Such a tragic story, I don't even know what to say.
- Eradicate campus violence! Really!
...
Gu Beihuai: "The case has been solved. Where's the exit?"
Last episode, the exit presented itself automatically after solving the entire mystery.
The group waited around for a bit but there was no reaction at all or any prompts from the production team.
Gu Beihuai: "Alright, we'll look for the exit ourselves."
Lan Tianyou: "Exhausted to death. We've been filming for hours?"
Still sitting on the bed, he leaned back against the wall behind him.
And with that lean!
Crack!
He cracked the wall open!
Lan Tianyou was so startled he leapt up: "Ahhh help mommy, almost fell over!"
Nan Xiangwan's eyes lit up. She pushed against the wall.
Crack!
The wall crumbled outwards to reveal a large hole.
They saw the sky outside, the morning light spilling in beautifully.
Chapter 290
Guan Liangzhe: "An exit! It's an exit!"
Sha Ling: "I see a ladder. Everyone, hurry out."
Ge Dongxuan: "I can't believe the exit was discovered like this. I'm speechless."
Lan Tianyou: "Hee hee hee!"
As before, Nan Xiangwan led the way, and Gu Beihuai brought up the rear.
The six of them crawled out of the hole in the wall one by one. Outside was a rooftop with a ladder set up.
There were air cushions placed below the ladder to prevent slipping and falling. This obvious trick by the program team meant that this was indeed the exit.
Nan Xiangwan quickly looked at the height, then swiftly climbed down the ladder. In no time, she had reached the ground.
The others were slower, but still managed to climb down successfully.
By now, daylight had broken and the morning sun was shining brightly.
Glancing back at the old school buildings behind them, their state of mind felt different.
The three-story old school, mottled by the passage of many years, was coated with a layer of light under the sun's rays.
All their feelings were somewhat trance-like as they marveled at the spectacle.
A round of applause sounded nearby. Hua Yuanwu walked over with program crew members.
Hua Yuanwu: "Congratulations! You finally escaped from the haunted house after 7 hours, just in time for breakfast."
Lan Tianyou: "We actually spent seven hours inside?"
Guan Liangzhe: "Seeing the director, I'm so excited I feel like crying."
Sha Ling: "I was afraid we'd never get out."
Ge Dongxuan: "I was totally immersed. Sigh!"
Nan Xiangwan: "Director Hua, where is the spirit?"
Hua Yuanwu: "There are no such things as spirits in this world. Can you believe in science?"
Hua Yuanwu was rendered speechless. Was this girl out of her mind?
Nan Xiangwan asked again in disappointment: "How did your neck spin 180 degrees?"
She was just too curious!
Hua Yuanwu: "Come on, let's welcome our supporting NPC actors!"
Three adults led a group of children out of the building. By now, they had removed their makeup and their bodies had returned to normal.
Nan Xiangwan was still very curious, staring fixedly at them.
The three adults, their makeup removed, smiled at the camera and bowed. The actor who played the principal was actually a shy young man. The two "female teachers" were not demons without makeup either, just ordinary looking.
As for the children, they stared with wide eyes at Nan Xiangwan.
Hua Yuanwu explained: "These are actors we found from all over the country, including acrobat performers and dancers. Most of the children have skeletal deformities, which is why their necks are crooked. Some are dance students. Let's not look at that dance, haha!"
Hua Yuanwu: "Our program has already sponsored medical treatment for the children to help them recover, as you can see they are doing quite well now. We also call again on society to pay attention to children born with disabilities, so they too can have a happy childhood!"
Everyone applauded. The truth was revealed.
To go through so much trouble finding actors for just one episode, the program team was awesome!
Comments:
- A sudden burst of positive energy!
- Look at that little actor still staring at Nan Xiangwan, haha! A fan!
- Jealous! Can I break my bones now for a chance to participate and meet goddess Nan?
- No need to go that far to chase stars!
...
Amidst applause from the crew, a group photo marked the end of filming for the second episode of "Haunted House"!
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling clung to Nan Xiangwan, still feeling the excitement after leaving the haunted house.
Lan Tianyou was saying something to Gu Beihuai. Guan Liangzhe was earnestly asking Director Hua to not make it so scary next time.
Finally, the six went to record personal vlogs that would be edited and posted online later.
Nan Xiangwan yawned her way through recording everything. Xiao Dong came by car to pick her up.
As soon as she got in the car...
Whoosh!
Gu Beihuai jumped in and sat next to Nan Xiangwan.
Xiao Dong didn't even dare speak, only looked silently at Madam Nan for guidance.
Gu Beihuai: "Take pity on a person without an assistant. Anyway, we live together, so might as well give me a ride too."
Nan Xiangwan: "You don't even have an assistant?"
Gu Beihuai: "That's right, no assistant or driver."
Nan Xiangwan: "Leave it to me. Xiao Dong drives the car. From now on, buddy, feel free to ride in my car."
Gu Beihuai happily leaned back with a smile. Success!
Xiao Dong: "......"
Madam Nan, how could you believe the nonsense of this king?
Nan Xiangwan was truly sleepy. She was originally an early-to-bed, early-to-rise good girl. But this variety show insisted on recording late into the night until morning each time.
Gu Beihuai was also quite tired. The two sat quietly in the back row with eyes closed, napping.
Xiao Dong glanced at them occasionally via the rearview mirror, a knowing smile on her face.
Indeed, they looked well-matched!
The car arrived at the gate of Season Manor. Xiao Dong woke the two: "We've arrived, Madam Nan. Also, I've prepared breakfast in the kitchen, remember to eat."
Nan Xiangwan: "Will definitely eat it all."
Gu Beihuai smiled and followed her out of the car, but he took Elevator 2 instead of Elevator 1 with Nan Xiangwan.
Nan Xiangwan: "???"
Gu Beihuai: "I haven't eaten either. Can I join you for a bite?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Then eat less. I'm afraid there won't be enough for me."
Gu Beihuai: "......"
The elevator stopped at the 22nd floor. Nan Xiangwan opened the door and went inside.
She was sleepy, hungry and tired all at once.
Gu Beihuai familiarly walked into the kitchen and looked around. He had cleaned the kitchen before. Now there were several steamer baskets on top, steaming various hot breakfast items. There was also porridge and noodles cooking in pots.
Xiao Dong really was a versatile assistant!
However, she didn't seem to have noticed at all that the sand pot had cracked earlier. Gu Beihuai had cleaned up without a trace.
Nan Xiangwan looked around. The place had been unbearably messy when she left, but was now spotless on her return.
Her buddy really was reliable!
The two brought their breakfast to the dining table. Nan Xiangwan immediately switched to wolfing down mode.
Gu Beihuai obediently ate only a little. He had simply wanted to spend some time alone with Nan Xiangwan.
But Nan Xiangwan ate too quickly, soon sweeping the entire table clean!
Gu Beihuai's mouth twitched. "Still not full?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Of course not full, but I'm too tired. Going to sleep first."
Gu Beihuai: "Okay, I'll go back and sleep too. Let me know when you wake up and we can eat together."
Marking his spot first to avoid other suitors.
Nan Xiangwan readily agreed, then went back to her room alone.
Gu Beihuai raised his brows. The little cub was quite trusting of him since he hadn't left yet.
This made him happy.
He went upstairs to the rooftop garden, pushing open the glass door.
The connecting glass railing between the two gardens had been removed. The mess on the ground had also been cleaned up, only the damaged flooring remained to be relaid, which looked unsightly from his vandalism.
Gu Beihuai decided to build a small path to fully connect the two gardens!
He could install lamps along the path, but what kind?
The surrounding greenery could also use some improvements, not beautiful enough.
While Nan Xiangwan was fast asleep, Gu Beihuai had already moved on to the next phase of remodeling. The landscape architect logged on!
