- Chapter 15 - Holding Everyone Back?
Seeing Meng Ze pull his hand away, the middle-aged woman was not discouraged. She grabbed his hand again with the same chrysanthemum-like smile, leaving Meng Ze with no choice but to bite the bullet and endure it.
“It is just that for several years now, there have been young women crying at night. I have lived in this residential complex for so many years, and almost no young girls live here because the yin energy is too heavy. Yet, as soon as night falls, there is crying. We asked the property management and the police, but they had no way to deal with it. It is truly strange!
Also, just recently, people who came home late said they saw lights flashing inside the villa. At first, they thought it was an illusion, but it was confirmed by several people who came home late. However, that villa has been abandoned for three years and has long been unoccupied. Who would run in there to turn on the lights in the middle of the night? Hey, you tell me, if it is not a ghost, what could it be? After those people encountered this, not one of them avoided getting sick. They all spent several days in the hospital, and some were so scared they moved away overnight.”
“Hehe.” Meng Ze could not quite laugh.
It was not because he was scared, but because the woman was not only holding his hand but also stroking it continuously, unable to let go.
I managed to avoid being sexually harassed by those big shots in the entertainment industry, only to get harassed by a neighborhood auntie first! Auntie, can you please let go first!
【Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter at Brother Meng’s expression!】
【As expected, Brother Meng is full of comedic gold. It is well-deserved! Hahahaha!】
【The auntie did what I never dared to do. I am so envious, boo hoo hoo.】
Netizens were amused by Meng Ze’s lifeless expression, and no one cared about the ghost story the woman was telling.
The woman told the ghost story with such a flowery smile that it was not scary at all. Combined with Meng Ze’s reaction, it felt more like they were performing a comedy sketch.
He Ning had been listening with his ears pricked up at first, but after hearing the story, he felt uninterested and scoffed, “Is that it?”
He had thought they had actually seen a ghost, but it was just some lights. What was there to be scared of?
He Ning thought this and rolled his eyes.
Bai Qingxu noticed He Ning’s reaction and asked with a smile, “Director He seems to have some thoughts about this villa?”
He Ning glanced at Bai Qingxu.
“None of your business.”
Bai Qingxu smiled and did not speak further. He simply stood there in a calm and composed manner.
“Thank you, ma’am! Let us head inside first!”
Xie Ye realized that the passerby was not adding any horror to the show but was instead adding comedy. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he waved his hand, beckoned everyone into the complex, and headed toward Qingshan Villa.
“Are you leaving already?” The woman looked at Meng Ze with reluctance.
“Yes, we are. We are going to see what is so strange about this villa today.” Meng Ze nodded, managed to break free from the woman’s hand as if granted an amnesty, and walked quickly to the front of the group.
“Hey, you all must be careful. Do not provoke anything bad; it is very dangerous. Do not dismiss it!”
The woman urged them, but no one paid attention to her instructions. Feeling hurt, she cursed them under her breath for being ungrateful, but then, one person turned back.
Bai Qingxu nodded at the woman.
“Thank you, Auntie. You should hurry back. Do not wander around outside at night.”
After he finished speaking, he hurried to catch up with the program team, leaving the woman standing alone in place.
Seeing Bai Qingxu respond to her, the woman felt a jolt in her heart. As if startled by something, she did not dare to stay for another second and hurried home.
Most of the production crew stayed outside Qingshan Villa, and only the variety show assistants followed the guests into the house.
Technology is advanced now, and there are hovering cameras that can follow them. The assistants only need to help change batteries and contact the staff outside to ensure the smooth progress of the show.
Qingshan Villa covers a large area and is a standard European-style building. Whether it was because it had been unoccupied for too long or because the developer had intentionally made it look old, the exterior was covered in layers of moss and rust, giving it the true feeling of a haunted house.
A crowd of people walked in, but their presence did not dissipate the gloomy, eerie atmosphere of the villa.
【This villa really looks a bit off.】
【It feels terrifying even through the screen.】
【Damn, the production team has money this season? They finally put in some effort.】
As the comments flooded in, Xie Ye saw this and touched his chin triumphantly.
It was only because he managed to invite He Yanzhou that sponsorships were easier to secure, and naturally, there was more money.
He was going to scare the viewers to death in this live broadcast!
Xie Ye chuckled. Seeing all the guests on the live feed entering the villa, he quickly signaled the control room to close the door.
Creak!
The group had just entered the pitch-black house when a loud noise came from the iron door behind them. They looked back and saw that the door had shut tight right in front of them, and the surroundings plunged into complete darkness!
“Ah!”
Ruan Wennan was so startled he shuddered and leaned against the person nearest to him.
“Why are you screaming and shouting? It is just the door closing, is it not?”
The person Ruan Wennan leaned against was He Ning. He Ning was famous for his explosive temper and was annoyed by Ruan Wennan’s jumpy reaction. Not caring if it was a live broadcast, he retorted directly.
【Damn, the door closing did not scare me, but that scream definitely did. Is there something wrong with him?】
【Well said, Director He!】
【So pretentious!】
“I am sorry. But it is so dark.”
Ruan Wennan said in a low voice, looking at He Ning with a pitiful expression.
Seeing Ruan Wennan like this, He Ning’s heart softened, and he did not say anything more.
“Hey, everyone, stop arguing. Let us quickly look for clues, or we will not be able to get out.”
Meng Ze pulled a flashlight out from somewhere and began searching for clues.
The others also took out their equipment, all of which they had brought themselves.
Seeing everyone take out flashlights, Bai Qingxu scratched his head, thinking that no one had told him about this in advance.
Seeing Bai Qingxu standing there blankly, He Ning said sarcastically, “Xiao Bai, you did not bring any equipment, did you?”
Since He Ning was a director, he had naturally heard of Cao Qiang’s blacklist order, so he did not have a pleasant face for Bai Qingxu and even held a sense of contempt.
Seeing this, the audience began to flood the chat with criticism.
【Huh? What is wrong with Bai Qingxu? He did not bring equipment for an adventure? He is not expecting others to carry him, is he?】
【An idiot who holds everyone back.】
【Ugh, he did not even do his homework. How did he have the nerve to participate in the show?】
