Showbiz Escape

Chapter 20 Red and White Deserted Village 02
In the middle of the night, the seven players in this game, three women and four men, gathered and passed through the barrier at the entrance of the village, and went deeper into the village together.

The terrain in the village is winding, and ancient locust trees with jagged trunks are planted everywhere. Every branch is twisted into a strange shape, and the feathery compound leaves rustle in the wind.

Most of the buildings here are low houses with black bricks and black tiles. The doors of every house are closed, and only a white paper lantern is hung under the eaves.

The delicate girl wearing glasses looked around while walking, looking nervous.

"Isn't this village too gloomy? Why do I feel a little out of breath?"

Ye Lingchuan happened to be walking beside her, and said casually after hearing the words: "It may have something to do with the terrain."

"Terrain? Any explanation?"

He explained slowly: "The terrain of this village is shady, the fields are barren, the pond water is dry, and ancient locust trees are planted around the house. The road in front of the house is arched, and the yang energy is weak. It basically forms a killing array."

"What is the killing array pattern?"

"To put it simply, it is the pattern of yin and yin gathering evil, which is easy to attract unclean things, which is very unlucky-this kind of place should not be lived in."

The girl with glasses suddenly realized, and couldn't help but marvel: "How do you know so much, there are Feng Shui masters in the entertainment industry?"

"No, occasionally reading some relevant information is considered a hobby."

"You are too awesome!"

"Award."

Ye Lingchuan answered perfunctorily, but glanced at Wen Zhuo on the other side with a smile.

He doesn't care about other people's comments, but he is only curious about her reaction. In fact, he also knows that this is not normal for him, like a male peacock spreading its tail, he should restrain himself no matter what.

Coincidentally, Wen Zhuo was indeed looking at him at the same moment. The moment they looked at each other, she slightly curled the corners of her lips, and quietly turned her eyes away.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and no one paid attention to the eye contact between the two at the moment.

In contrast, Xiang Zhifeng is probably the most anxious. He really can't tell who is the Ace of Hearts among the other six people except himself, but his inertial thinking makes him feel that the one who can sit in the A position should be a Men, so he temporarily focused on the other three male players.

Until Ye Lingchuan opened his mouth, he was a little sure, no matter what, Ace of Hearts has a wide range of knowledge in various miscellaneous subjects, right?Looking at the other party in this way, the possibility is very high, maybe he is hinting at himself.

After all, hiring a bounty hunter is a tacit secret among players in the circle, but it is not easy to bring it to the table, otherwise it will inevitably be targeted by players in the same game.

He decided to take a sneak peek.

He walked up to Ye Lingchuan, showing a polite and official smile, just like every time he was interviewed by reporters.

He half-truthfully praised: "What's the name of this brother? Seeing that you are so knowledgeable, you must have some real skills. There are reliable teammates like you in the game, so everyone can rest assured."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat boy who had ridiculed him before couldn't help but sneered again, habitually showing a strange ambiguity.

"Games are also divided into different types. What if everyone is competing this time? They have real skills and you don't have them, so you can only be a stepping stone and want to hug your thigh?"

Xiang Zhifeng almost died of anger: "Are you sick? How bad is your life? You are cynical. As for other people chatting, you bark like a dog?"

"The ears are on your head, you can cover them if you don't want to hear them."

"..."

To complete the task, you must first establish a good relationship with the target object, and then let the other party relax their vigilance later.

So Ye Lingchuan persuaded him unhurriedly: "Everyone is just doing their job well, and there is no deep hatred. There is no need for the two of you to be so tit for tat."

The fat boy glanced at him, hummed softly and fell silent.

In this way, Xiang Zhifeng became even more convinced that Ye Lingchuan was helping him. Sure enough, a fat man who looked simple and honest was an idiot.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ye Lingchuan again. He believed that if the other party was the Ace of Hearts, he would be able to understand the meaning of his smile.

...It's a pity that Ye Lingchuan only felt that he was inexplicable.

Ye Lingchuan couldn't understand it, but Wen Zhuo, who was watching secretly beside him, did. Of course Wen Zhuo understood who Xiang Zhifeng was looking for, but the problem was that this buddy didn't seem to have a high IQ, even the temptation was so obvious.

I'm afraid that if we talk a few more words, he will expose the fact that he entrusted the Ace of Hearts.

Seeing that Xiang Zhifeng was eager to try and wanted to continue talking to Ye Lingchuan, she simply put her heart on the line and inserted herself directly between the two of them.

"Fengfeng." She called the nickname given to him by fans, endured the urge to roll her eyes, her expression was pure and sincere, "I didn't dare to say it just now, but I actually like your drama very much, not from "The Immortals and Demons", but from you I started to like "The Wind in Lingnan" a long time ago."

In fact, of course she hasn't read it, but she has a good habit of researching the client's resume before accepting the task, so she can get away with it.

"The Wind in Lingnan" is a spy war drama. At that time, Xiang Zhifeng was still a small supporting role. In Xiang Zhifeng's eyes, it is impossible to go to archaeology if he is not a true fan.

His attention was slightly diverted from Ye Lingchuan, and he took a serious look at Wen Zhuo.

"Strange thing, I can still meet real fans in the game."

"This is fate, Fengfeng."

Ye Lingchuan looked sideways, and his eyes fell on Wen Zhuo's face calmly.

He seemed calm, but there was a subtle flash of light and shadow in his eyes.

He thought, even if Xiang Zhifeng had to die in this round, he had to try his best to make this idiot die as badly as possible.

At this time, the fat boy complained in a low voice again: "Little girls nowadays, their aesthetics are really assimilated."

Xiang Zhifeng replied angrily: "Thinking too much, even if the little girls are not assimilated, their aesthetics will not be your type."

"...embroidered pillow girly."

"Fat scum with a brain full of guts."

The girl with glasses couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help persuading: "Stop making noise, there seems to be a two-story building with lights in front, should we go in and have a look?"

Among the low buildings in this village, such a small two-story building suddenly appeared, no matter how you looked at it, it was out of place, and it was obviously a reminder to the players.

According to past experience, you can learn the main mission when you enter.

Then everyone temporarily put aside their disputes, united the front, and collectively stepped up to the door.

Ye Lingchuan stood at the front and raised his hand to knock on the door.

He knocked for a long time before the door was finally opened from the inside. Standing in front of everyone was an old man in a gray cloth gown.

The old man's waist was bent, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were miraculously clear and sharp, which did not match his age.

He stared at them for a while, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared.

"Are you all foreigners who have traveled here?"

Ye Lingchuan continued following his words: "Yes, old man, the seven of us passed by here and wanted to find a place to stay - I wonder if you can take us in temporarily?"

"This house has been vacant for a long time. I'm just taking care of it. It's not impossible for you to live in it." The old man's voice was hoarse, and he spoke slowly, but his words were clear, "But the original owner of the house left a rule. There are four rooms downstairs, unless one person lives alone, one man and one woman must live together."

The girl with glasses asked in surprise: "What kind of outrageous rule is this? Men and women you don't know have to live in the same room?"

"Rules are rules, and I am only the executor of the rules, not the maker." The old man said slowly, "Of course, you can also choose to leave, but apart from here, there are probably no other villagers in the whole village who would be willing to take in people of unknown origin. outsider."

"..."

"You can stay here." At this time, a male player with dyed blond hair in the team casually said, "They are all here to participate in the game, and they are probably not pure rookies. They can't even adapt to these rules? Don't put virtual The world and the real world are confused, and the memory will disappear anyway, so we should not be interested in each other."

What he said made sense, and everyone obviously had no objections, including the girl with glasses who had concerns.

Then I saw the old man stepped aside and opened the door: "Then please go ahead, I will come to deliver breakfast tomorrow morning."

Wen Zhuo nodded, and casually said politely: "Thank you for your hard work."

He looked at her and smiled: "Just remember, if the oil lamp goes out at night, don't go out through the door."

……

The furnishings in this two-story building are actually very old, as the old man said, it has been unoccupied for a long time.

On the table covered with thick dust, there were four lighted oil lamps lined up side by side. The light from the oil lamps was very bright, otherwise they would not have noticed the light from afar just now.

From what this means, it should be to let them put one lamp in each room.

There are not enough chairs in the room, players who are not afraid of getting dirty simply sit on the floor, Wen Zhuo originally wanted to sit on the floor, but Ye Lingchuan took a step ahead and pushed the chair next to him to her.

She looked at him in surprise: "...Thank you."

"You're welcome, little thing."

Besides her, Xiang Zhifeng, who was obsessed with cleanliness, moved a chair for himself first, and there was another chair, which was occupied by a short-haired girl who didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

The girl was very beautiful, but she was a bit depressed, looking gloomy, and not easy to get close to.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone first introduced themselves to each other. After all, it is not clear what the next game mission is. If you need to cooperate, you must familiarize yourself in advance.

In addition to Wen Zhuo, Ye Lingchuan and Xiang Zhifeng, the girl wearing glasses is called Song Wenwen, the boy in sportswear is Li Guang, the blonde boy is Xu Le, and the short-haired girl is Zhao Qianxue.

"Isn't this rule specially made for us?" Li Guang seemed to be unable to keep his mouth idle, and he had to lose a few words to feel happy, "Hey, that big star surnamed Xiang, you just happen to be with your own Little fans live in the same room, aren’t you all popular with sleeping fans?”

Before the words finished, Wen Zhuo casually picked up the ashtray by the table and threw it at him: "Who is Mr. Li alluding to?"

She didn't want to hurt people at the beginning, so she deliberately tilted her head, and the ashtray flew past Li Guang's face and smashed to pieces on the wall behind.

Li Guangdang was about to get up: "What are you doing!"

Unexpectedly, before he could make another move, Ye Lingchuan had already pressed his shoulders and forced him back to the original place.

"You don't respect other girls. It's fair for them to warn you."

"That's right." Xu Le, a blond boy, also echoed, "They didn't recruit you or offend you. You are so hostile. In reality, do you have to rush up and scold rich people for beating?"

"..."

Xiang Zhifeng held back his anger, and at this moment he finally had a reason to compete, he immediately raised his eyebrows coldly, and replied in a provocative tone.

"Dirty people see everything dirty. I'm not as disgusting as you. I will respect my fans - but I do want to live in the same room with Miss Wen, lest you, a fat man, take advantage of it."
