Chapter 1409: Director, are you sure you’re not looking for trouble?

Ji Jiarou and her partner only came out after two hours.

Tears and snot filled her face, and she was completely devoid of beauty. The moment she came out, her legs went limp. A few staff members had to come over to help her.

“What took you so long?” Li Mao asked Ji Jiarou.

Ji Jiarou cried and said she was unlucky. The ghost king had targeted her twice, sticking close to her, so she could only wander inside.

The three teams that had yet to enter saw Ji Jiarou’s companion’s pale face, and they felt even more afraid of this haunted house.

Ji Jiarou was considered a very smart female celebrity. Although she was afraid... she knew that the longer she stayed inside, the more airtime she would get. Moreover, the audience liked watching tormented celebrities. The more pitiful she acted... the more funny it would be to the audience. This was what a variety show is all about.

Hence, the first time Ji Jiarou ended up haunted by the ghost king was intentional... The second time, it was also possibly intentional. Others might not know, but the sports star who formed a team with Ji Jiarou knew it clearly.

Although Ji Jiarou looked so frightened to the point that her face was devoid of color, and she was shivering, she still provided the others with some information as she sat on her chair. She said at the sound of a child’s cries; they had to pay attention to the appearance of the Ghost King!

The sports star also nodded. “Once the ghost king appears, many ghosts will come out to follow it. The most frightening thing is that even though you’ve already reached the exit, but because the rules say that those haunted by the ghost king will have to stay for another half an hour, you guys end up being chased by the ghosts for half an hour. It requires super stamina.”

This hint could be considered a very thoughtful one. At the very least, it would let others know when the Ghost King would come out. They also understood that they mustn’t let the Ghost King haunt them.

Shi Hanchu and Su Manman were lucky. They had passed all the obstacles so quickly that the Ghost King hadn’t made it out in time...

The program “The Battle of the House of Horrors” was either to follow a horror story, or simply spent the night at a famous haunted house or a haunted place in the world.

The content of today’s show was very simple. It was just for the guests to enter the Haunted House.

Shi Hanchu and Su Manman had completed their mission early, but they had only been inside for 15 minutes. This wasn’t a good thing for the production crew, who relied on Shi Hanchu to attract viewers.

Therefore, when all the teams came out of the Haunted House, the director came up with another trick for the sake of the viewership ratings. He counted all the things the teams had knocked over inside the Haunted House.

The crew had already printed out the photos, telling the teams they needed them to go back inside to return these items to their original positions.

The few teams immediately wailed and accused the film crew of fooling around.

Su Manman took their photos and raised her hand. “Director, these tables were all knocked down by the cameramen. This has nothing to do with us!”

The director had seen Su Manman’s performance in the haunted house, so he knew that Su Manman wasn’t afraid of ghosts. She was only pretending to be pale, to deceive the rest. He chuckled and pointed at a picture of her holding a scalpel. “The location of the scalpel is wrong. Please return it to its original position!”

Su Manman was speechless.

Something she misplaced just a few centimeters was a mistake? Director, are you sure you’re not looking for trouble?

“Wow, Manman... You actually took the scalpel inside! Aren’t you afraid?” Ji Jiarou looked at the photo and asked in shock.

“Then I’ll go back inside to return the scalpel to its original position. But the cameramen have to return the things they knocked over to its original position too!” Su Manman said.

The director replied to Su Manman, “Haha... naive!”

With that, the director continued, “The cameraman went in with each team. When you hit the props and cause them to be shifted, it’s part of your mission to ensure that they are returned to their rightful positions. I would like to request every team member to remember to return any item you bumped into to their rightful positions. Any misses will result in reentry...”

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiarou’s face turned pale. She picked up the stack of photos with trembling hands and asked the director, “How are we going to return them to their positions? Director, are you sure you aren’t here to mess with us?”

Those who had gone in once wouldn’t want to go in again, but they had no choice but to give in to the director.

“Also, because we don’t want to give our camera crew a psychological trauma, this time, the guest will bring in their own camera equipment No cameramen will be accompanying them.”

The moment the director said this, the camera crew started clapping. The guests nearly broke down...

The first time they went inside, four people entered together. When there were more people inside, at the very least they felt a little comforted. Now that they would enter with only their own partner, the group members felt a little upset deep down. However, thinking about it, it wasn’t requiring them to enter alone—something that they could still accept.

After drawing the lot this time, Ji Jiarou’s group drew the second one again. She seriously tried to memorize all the items in the picture and even begged the director to let her bring the picture in. She bumped into too many things, so she was afraid she couldn’t return all of them.

However, even though the director allowed Ji Jiarou to act cute, he wasn’t moved at all. Ji Jiarou had no choice but to sit down and memorize the photos with her partner while waiting for their turn.

Su Manman sat in her chair, playing games on her phone, completely focused.

Someone saw that and went over to ask, “Manman, aren’t you nervous? How can you still be playing on your phone?”

Shi Hanchu also looked in Su Manman’s direction...

“It’s precisely because I’m too nervous that I’m playing on my phone to calm myself down!” Su Manman looked up and said, her face still pale.

“Sister Manman...” The assistant, Dong Dong, fed a sour plum to Su Manman.

Su Manman held her phone with both hands and leaned over to sniff at the sour plum. Dong Dong then stuffed it into her mouth.

Shi Hanchu’s pupils constricted.

“I like plums! But I can’t eat them. The heat is so high... and they’re so sweet! To maintain a youthful look and a good figure, we need to reduce sugar intake, so I’ll just take a sniff. Can’t you eat them?”

Jiang Mingzhu’s coquettish voice became increasingly clear in his mind, disrupting Shi Hanchu’s emotions.

It was as if Shi Hanchu’s heart was gripped tightly by a hand. The pain made him unable to breathe.

Yang Weiyi said that Su Manman was imitating Jiang Mingzhu...

But where did she get so much information about Jiang Mingzhu? Where did she get it from... how did she know Jiang Mingzhu’s habits?

Su Manman, who was playing games, felt a burning gaze. She looked up and met Shi Hanchu’s deep eyes.

Su Manman had a questioning look in her eyes as she gave a terse grunt. What was wrong with asking Shi Hanchu?

Su Manman raised her brows slightly, and there was a questioning look in her eyes... It was too natural. Shi Hanchu was too familiar with it, so familiar that Shi Hanchu felt that the person wasn’t dead at all, just by his side.

Shi Hanchu’s palm hurt from clenching his fists tightly, and he turned around.
