Chapter 8

     Lu Lanlan’s reaction made Shi Xi feel that she should know her.

     This has nothing to do with her popularity, but a feeling that they may have crossed paths before. But Shi Xi has encountered too many incredible things recently, and she really can’t remember where she heard this name.

      “It doesn’t matter if we didn’t know each other before, now that we do. In our world, Lu Lanlan is also a movie character.” Shi Xi quickly took control of the pace and continued to cue the next steps, asking about the identities of the other guests.

     Among the remaining people, there are idols who have performed on the stage of supernatural elements, female singers who have sung theme songs for supernatural movies, resident NPCs in supernatural variety shows, and bloggers who analyze supernatural movies…

     “Although we come from different worlds, we have one thing in common, that is, we have encountered supernatural events or are supernatural enthusiasts,” Shi Xi asked the camera: “So, what force transferred us here, and what is their purpose?”

 

   【The director transferred you here for the purpose of recording a variety show hahaha~】

   【This variety show has a bit of the taste of infinite flow. 】

   【The director is the Lord? Announce the rules of the game. 】

   【Why doesn’t she take off her mask? 】

   【Why else? She must be sorry for the lower half of her face. Why is she so talkative? She looks like the kind of person who likes to grab the spotlight. Get out of the way. I want to see my wife Lanlan. 】

     A voice echoed in the empty space:【Welcome to Siren Hospital. This is the intersection of your time and space and there is only one exit. There are 21 time travel cards hidden throughout the hospital. Collect three of them to leave, or risk being trapped in a temporal vortex and never returning to your own timeline.”】

   【There are some ghosts trapped in the time and space turbulence in the hospital. You only have one chance to revive. Please be careful. 】

   【Those who leave successfully can share the time and space rewards. The first place winner will receive an Easter egg reward. The game officially begins! 】

 

     The camera in the live broadcast room returned to the director, and fifteen guests appeared on the screen at the same time.

     “There are only 21 cards in the hospital. You need to collect 3 cards to pass the level. There are 15 people here,” the game anchor said, “So the rules themselves are destined. At most, only 8 people can pass the level.”

     The movie blogger nodded, “The rules want us to compete, and there are ghosts here. If there are heavy casualties, it is not certain that 8 people can pass the level.”

     Lu Lanlan blinked her eyes and said pitifully, “I’m so scared. Brothers and sisters, please don’t leave me.”

     Da Hu put his thumb on his chest and smiled at her, “Don’t be afraid, sister, follow Brother Hu. Any ghost will have to go around Brother Hu.”

     Those who have watched live variety shows know that the camera in the live broadcast room is where the drama is. These people have been discussing and arguing with each other, and the camera in the live broadcast room has never moved.

     After they analyzed it, the movie blogger suggested: “I suggest that we work together to find clues first. There are fifteen of us in total. There is strength in numbers…”

     While he was talking, he looked at everyone and suddenly found something. He paused: “Wait, is someone missing?”

     After he raised this question, everyone counted and found that three people were missing.

     “The girl wearing a mask, her partner, and Tang Niannian are missing.”

     The singer pointed to the registration office: “They are there!”

     The registration office was empty, with only three thin figures. Shi Xi was carrying a prop shovel on her shoulder, which was quite conspicuous.

     Someone shouted: “Xiao Shi, what are you doing there?”

     The director cut the camera to Shi Xi’s side, just in time to shoot Shi Xi looking back, her black hair drew a beautiful arc, she didn’t know when she pushed the mask under her chin, and her delicate facial features just withstood the purple light of the underworld, like she had just torn open a cyberpunk comic and walked out.

     It was the first time for other guests to see her full face in real life, and they were shocked.

     The game anchor said bluntly: “Oh my god, why is she wearing a mask when she’s so pretty?”

     The singer sighed: “I’ve seen her videos before, and I thought she turned on the beauty filter, but I didn’t expect that she looks much better in person than in the videos.”

 

   【Xiao Shi is so beautiful when she shows her full face. Those who spread rumors about her appearance before should stop playing dead and apologize! 】

   【Xiao Shi should stop wearing a mask, it’s a waste of nature. 】

   【I’m fine with this look! I’m fine with being crazy! Director, please give Xiao Shi more shots, please. 】

 

     “Sister Shi, you haven’t answered where you are and what you’re doing!” Lu Lanlan raised her voice, interrupting the conversation of others.

     Shi Xi heard it clearly this time, and shook the note between her fingers: “Here’s a clue.”

     The guests were collectively stunned.

     Lu Lanlan bit her lower lip: “Sister Shi, you have no team spirit. How can you take action privately while we are discussing? We should help each other.”

      Shi Xi, Tang Niannian and Jiaming all showed doubtful eyes at the same time, as if to say: Are you okay?

 

   【Lanlan is right. This kind of person is too selfish and annoying. I like teammates like Lanlan. They are so kind. 】

   【That’s right. This person is too competitive. 】

   【You can be kind, but I don’t think you should morally blackmail others. The game has already started. This is called high efficiency, not private action. 】

   【I don’t care what you think, I only care what Lanlan thinks! 】

 

     Lu Lanlan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the movie blogger next to her: “Sister, stop talking nonsense. Change the script! There is no peaceful life. Everyone depends on their own ability. Hurry up!”

     After that, he ran to the registration office. 

     The game host complained to him: “Oh my god! Wasn’t it you who said that there is strength in numbers?”

     The movie blogger said without looking back: “I’ve figured it out now. If you don’t want to win in a game, you must have a brain problem!”

     The other guests were also inspired to win.

     “Change the script, change the script. Everyone, stop playing the good guy. If you keep playing, you’ll be stuck!”

     “If you don’t work hard to pass the level, you may not even be able to keep the camera!”

     Lu Lanlan looked at the backs of everyone running to the registration office and showed an expression of doubt about life.

     These people are too bold. The director didn’t give them a script at all! Is it okay to steal the camera?

 

   【I just want to ask, do the fans of Lu Lanlan, who used to say other was overly competitive, feel their faces hurting? The slap in the face came so fast, it was like a tornado. 】

   【I laughed to death. Lu Lanlan may have met such a real guest for the first time and began to doubt her life. 】

   【This variety show is too real. 】

 

     Shi Xi, Tang Niannian and Jiaming turned around in a chaotic situation and went to the next level with clues. Shi Xi put the registration number in her hand into her pocket while walking: “The NPC at the registration office registered us for orthopedics, clinic No. 3, doctor Chen Ming.”

     Tang Niannian looked at the road sign and immediately locked the route: “Orthopedics is in this direction, follow the arrow.”

     When passing by the consultation desk, Jiaming saw the hospital brochure on the table and immediately took one. He quickly flipped through it while walking and found Chen Ming’s profile in the orthopedics column: “This doctor died in 2012, and the one who treated us was a ghost…”

     After Shi Xi proposed the initial setting, Tang Niannian and Jia Ming immediately applauded in approval, entering a gaming mode where enjoyment of the game took precedence over everything else.

     The three of them walked with the wind, and the photographer who followed the director received instructions and chased after them with a camera.

     In the hall, the movie blogger leaned over the counter and peered inside, muttering, “Where did they find the note?”

     The lights around him dimmed silently, and a pale, blood-stained hand stretched out from inside, passed through the gap under the glass window, and grabbed the movie blogger’s wrist with incredible precision!

     “Ahh…a ghost!!” The movie blogger was so scared that he danced on the spot, and the others were not much better, screaming and quickly scattered. 

     The singer looked at Brother Tiger hiding behind him, a little speechless: “Didn’t you say you would take us flying?”

     Brother Tiger smiled awkwardly: “I didn’t perform well this time, I will definitely do it next time.”

     The hand was tightly grasped, and the movie blogger wanted to cry but had no tears. He looked at Lu Lanlan: “Where is the team spirit? Girl, come and save me!”

     Lu Lanlan took a step back, with an innocent look in her eyes: “Didn’t you say if you didn’t want to win when playing games, you must have a problem with your brain? I think you are right.”

     Movie blogger: “…”

     The NPC stamped his hand and let him go. He pulled back his hand and saw a red stamp on it, which said “You are dead”.

     Everyone has only one chance to revive, which means that if he is stamped by the NPC again, he will be eliminated.

     The movie blogger sighed: “I was impulsive. She analyzed the problem of the registration office in a short time and got the clues smoothly. I have to say that Xiao Shi is amazing.”

     With the lesson of the movie blogger, the other guests finally realized that this level was not so easy to pass, and calmed down to look for clues seriously.

     Ten minutes later, the game streamer and the singer were the first to find the hint, find the security window, and get the registration form.

     Other players deciphered one after another and rushed to the next stop – the orthopedic clinic.

     When the guests ran to the door of the clinic, Shi Xi and her party just came out.

     Seeing them sweating and panting, Shi Xi looked curiously at the back of the corridor: “Are there ghosts chasing you?”

     “No ghosts,” the game streamer shook her head, and then found that she was holding two cards in her hand: “That is…”

     Shi Xi: “Oh, this is a time travel card, there are no cards in this clinic.”

     The guests were stunned again.

     The game streamer asked her: “You cracked it too quickly! How did you do it?”

     Shi Xi explained: “The doctor’s computer has a password set, and it took me nine minutes to find the NPC hidden in the clinic.”

     “Then what?”

     Shi Xi smiled slightly: “Then spend one minute threatening him to tell you the password. Did you learn it?”

     Game streamer: “I may not be able to learn it.”
