The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 10
Chapter 10
To be fair, my Sister Ran didn’t kill an NPC, she killed me
She’s played a sniper before, and her skills are still there…
Worthy of being the woman I will fall in love with over and over again
Heads up! You can breathe! You can breathe!
Are all of them glass cannons except for Ran Mingyue? Are you trying to make me die of laughter hahahaha
Jiang Qiaoye, a man who redefines the word ‘tank.’
That password was truly in its initial state, just like they said. The furnishings in this room are a bit old…
The production team’s case setting is not in the present. It should be decades ago
The fans in the comments were also immersed in the experience with the guests’ perspective.
Some comments noticed the quick photo and lamented that the deceased looked so good, it was such a shame, and so on.
Li Guang looked at her photo and was very satisfied.
When the production team came to her for a photo, Li Guang didn’t hesitate at all.
Three hundred dollars! Three hundred dollars for one photo!
She was a real little money-maker, and it was the same amount of money she got for her last heroic act. The money-short Li Guang said, “Do you really only need one? I have a thousand of these photos!”
Everyone found out that the production team used Li Guang’s photo.
Especially Ran Mingyue. She held the weapon in her hand tightly, and for a moment, she had the heart to kill the production team’s producer.
If it were anyone else’s photo, Ran Mingyue could have been more at ease being the killer.
But not with Li Guang.
“This isn’t our…” Hua Yuzhi was a newcomer and not yet very skilled at being on a variety show. When she saw the photo, she glanced in the direction of the camera.
Wen Yingzhi shook her head and reminded her: “Come on, we have to get out of here first.”
The others lifted Jiang Qiaoye from the corner.
With the lights on, Jiang Qiaoye was lively again.
Ran Mingyue didn’t know she was being watched by Li Guang. She carefully looked at the expressions of the others and immediately realized that the clues were only in her earpiece.
Her serious expression attracted the attention of the others.
“What’s wrong, Teacher Ran? Did you unlock your identity?”
“Yeah, Xiao Ran, you’re on the good side, right?” Xiang Que said. “If it weren’t for you, we’d probably all be done for here.”
The power of that sniper rifle still seemed to be shaking in their hearts.
“Only you have a gun now,” Wen Yingzhi, who had prior experience, realized and searched the room. “I haven’t found anything else.”
Ran Mingyue aimed the gun at the lock: “Everyone, step back.”
“Bang—”
A muffled sound. The seemingly indestructible lock snapped, and the door opened.
Before leaving the wooden cabin, she put her pistol in her waistband and took one last look at Li Guang’s photo.
This was an old photo of Li Guang.
Even she hadn’t seen it before. She looked about eighteen or nineteen, probably from her student days.
When the show is over… she mused, maybe I can go ask the director for it secretly.
Not far from the wooden cabin, a convenience store appeared, and the door was open.
A schedule was hanging on the wall. Store Manager: Zheng Gaisi, Clerk Jin Zi, Jiang Dahe, Mei Wenti.
Ran Mingyue saw her own identity name, Jin Zi.
“…” Did these people who gave out names die if they didn’t use homophones?
“So much food. None of you ate breakfast, right? Let’s sit down and eat something.” Jiang Qiaoye finally felt alive again. He was searching the shelves and pointed up, “There are even diving suits here! They sell everything.”
“Congratulations, you have found new evidence, Jiang Qiaoye, your identity is: an accomplice. …Please hide it well.”
Jiang Qiaoye was stunned, but he quickly grabbed a few bowls of instant noodles stacked together from the shelf as if nothing had happened. “I’ll make them for you.”
“Oh, Brother Qiao is a nice guy, thank you for the trouble!”
Out in the open, everyone was basking in the sun and eating instant noodles. For a moment, they all forgot about the danger they might be in and even started chatting.
Ran Mingyue was constantly on alert, and her gaze couldn’t help but sweep over to Li Guang outside the camera’s view.
This little girl was very serious, she looked the part.
Why hadn’t she ever noticed how meticulous Li Guang was before? The production team told her to be Jiang Qiaoye’s number 06, and she had been strictly following the rules.
Even Jiang Qiaoye had already rolled around in Li Guang’s arms, but she could only watch from this far away.
Wang Rou signaled the cameraman to turn off the camera.
Jiang Qiaoye had fainted at the beginning, so the production team was afraid of things going wrong. They gave the guests five minutes to rest and check things out.
Ran Mingyue had nothing to adjust. She sat in a chair and casually looked at the calm lake.
“Looking for me?” She saw Wang Rou wave at her, holding a box with a red cross on it, a first-aid kit.
Shouldn’t a first-aid kit be sent to Jiang Qiaoye?
“Teacher Ran, is your blood pressure okay right now?” Wang Rou came to her personally to ask. “Want to check it?”
Ran Mingyue laughed: “What could be wrong with my blood pressure?”
“A staff member told me you have low blood pressure and asked me to remember to help you check it,” Wang Rou had just finished speaking when she said, “Oh, here she comes.”
Li Guang knew that the break time was precious, and she bounced over to Ran Mingyue in a few steps. “Sister Mingyue, let’s check your blood pressure!”
Ran Mingyue watched Li Guang’s skilled movements as she picked up the blood pressure monitor, and she couldn’t help but smile.
“What are you waiting for? Didn’t you tell me last time that you have low blood pressure?” Li Guang muttered softly, “I was reminded by Jiang Qiaoye’s incident, and I thought I should also have you checked at all times.”
Low blood pressure can also cause dizziness and instability, which is just as serious. Li Guang had already looked all this up.
Ran Mingyue cooperated and extended her arm. As Li Guang rolled up her sleeve, she said, “But the guest you’re responsible for should be Jiang Qiaoye.”
“But you’re my resident, he’s not,” Li Guang grinned, revealing a set of white, neat teeth. She pressed the button, and the device began to inflate on Ran Mingyue’s arm.
Looking at Li Guang’s concerned eyes, Ran Mingyue restrained herself from saying that she didn’t have low blood pressure at all.
Li Guang asked: “You’re not feeling dizzy or anything, are you?”
“I’m fine,” Ran Mingyue said. “After being scared a few more times by the production team, my blood pressure will go right up.”
Li Guang said, “It’s okay. When you’re really scared, just call your personal security guard. My colleague is very capable and will definitely protect you!”
Ran Mingyue’s gaze never left Li Guang. Her breathing was smooth, and the numbers on the blood pressure monitor were ticking in an orderly fashion.
“Sister Mingyue, your hair,” Li Guang noticed a small piece of paper that had fallen on Ran Mingyue’s curly hair. She understood how important it was for an artist to maintain a clean image.
Ran Mingyue was taking her blood pressure and couldn’t move easily. Li Guang naturally stepped forward to help.
In a place she couldn’t see, the numbers on the blood pressure monitor quickly shot up.
“Li Guang, you…” Ran Mingyue looked at Li Guang’s close proximity in shock. She subconsciously wanted to retreat but was gently held by Li Guang. “Don’t move, we’re taking your blood pressure. Let me help you.”
Help with what?
How?
Li Guang reached out, her fingers gently touching Ran Mingyue’s cheek.
As she took the small piece of paper from Ran Mingyue’s cheek, the blood pressure monitor’s alarm also sounded:
“Blood pressure, high pressure 135. The value is too high. Please retest and pay attention to the patient’s physical condition! Note: The patient has an irregular heartbeat. The current heart rate is 120. Please retest.”
Ran Mingyue: “…”
“What happened? Huh?” Li Guang became anxious. “I told you not to move just now. How did your blood pressure get so high? Let’s check it again.”
Ran Mingyue let out a long breath, not knowing if this was a torment or a reward.
“No need, the device must be faulty.” She then moved her fluffy side braid closer to her ear.
She could only be grateful that her hairstyle today was a good choice, as it could hide her embarrassment.
Heaven knew… when she heard her heartbeat being broadcasted, Ran Mingyue’s ears were already burning.
Having Li Guang come to her was much more effective than the production team’s strenuous efforts to scare her.
Li Guang eagerly wanted to quickly take Ran Mingyue’s blood pressure again, but a notification came through everyone’s earpiece.
“Intermission is over. All personnel, get in position. Pay attention to the countdown in your earpieces.”
Li Guang, being a professional, could only temporarily leave and go to the staff’s safe zone to wait.
When the countdown ended, everyone was ready to get up and search the convenience store again.
Just then—
A group of men with machetes rushed out from behind the convenience store. They were soaking wet and looked menacing as they charged at the guests.
“Escape mode has been activated. You can only take down a person by hitting the red dot display on their body,” the mechanical voice sounded again.
“What are you standing around for, run!! Stop eating!” Wen Yingzhi dragged two people, pushing Song Suoqi and Hua Yuzhi forward and hurrying to run to another location.
The people who were gathered in front of the convenience store were now scattered.
“Go.” When the machete-wielding killer came, Ran Mingyue casually picked up a dry branch from the ground and hit the red dot on the shoulder of the NPC who was about to strike Jiang Qiaoye.
Jiang Qiaoye’s eyes filled with tears: “Sister! You’re my one and only sister!”
He quickly followed Ran Mingyue. In the chaos, Ran Mingyue led Jiang Qiaoye through Zone B.
A team of machete-wielding men kept following them relentlessly, and Jiang Qiaoye was constantly screaming.
Li Guang and Chai Ning followed them closely. Their security uniforms had micro-cameras on the top, which made it convenient for the staff to switch cameras at any time and prevented them from being unnecessarily on screen.
Ran Mingyue and Jiang Qiaoye, who were being chased, found another escape room just as they were about to step out of the edge of Zone B. Ran Mingyue quickly rushed in and, without time to think, slammed the door shut.
Jiang Qiaoye was still shaken and sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
Ran Mingyue was about to turn around and ask Jiang Qiaoye if he had gone to meet God, but a cold breeze suddenly came from her ear. She subconsciously turned her body, avoiding the attack from behind.
Without any hesitation, Ran Mingyue bent her arm and directly locked Jiang Qiaoye’s throat. She said angrily, “What’s the meaning of this?”
“Sister Ran, you must have unlocked a new identity just now. Are you the killer? This is a two-person escape room, and you could kill me right away with your strength…” The wooden branch in Jiang Qiaoye’s hand fell to the ground. He gave up struggling and breathed heavily again, “Are you going to kill me!”
Ran Mingyue said coldly, “A second ago you were calling me your one and only sister.”
She threw Jiang Qiaoye to the side. “I’m on the good side. Why would I save you if I wasn’t?”
Jiang Qiaoye slid to the ground and knelt, unwilling to get up. Ran Mingyue said: “There’s a black area in front of you. Go check it out.”
“I’m not going. I can call my security guard. The production team said we can call our security guards when we can’t handle things ourselves.”
He wanted to bother Li Guang with such a small thing!
Ran Mingyue looked at him speechlessly and pressed her microphone, “Xiao Jiang, you have to show some masculinity.”
Jiang Qiaoye said, “If I’m supposed to show masculinity, what do I need a security guard for?”
Ran Mingyue was stunned for a moment, unable to refute him. In other words—
If she could handle everything on her own, she would have no chance to see Li Guang?
So that’s it, Ran Mingyue suddenly understood.
“Guest calling for help. In a two-person escape room, the security team should act with the guests. The cameras have switched,” a voice came through the earpiece. “Number 06, Jiang Qiaoye is calling for protection. Number 05… Jiang Qiaoye is also calling for your protection.”
Li Guang’s forehead was lined with black. She and Chai Ning came out of the partition. Li Guang’s steps were urgent, and she was still thinking about Ran Mingyue’s abnormal blood pressure.
With a bang, a heavy object hit the ground in the darkness.
Jiang Qiaoye screamed “Mama!” and then hung onto Chai Ning, trembling.
Chai Ning: “…”
Ran Mingyue’s face was cold.
Li Guang said, “Sister Mingyue, are you okay?”
Ran Mingyue was about to say she was fine, when the lights in the dark area came on. A corpse lay on the ground next to a shelf. It was an inflatable mannequin.
The two big words “Store Manager” were written on the mannequin’s forehead. A wig was hanging in its hand, like a round melon peel. It probably didn’t stick well and fell off when the prop was being placed.
The corpse had a very sloppy face, with two dot eyes and a straight line for a mouth. Ketchup was squeezed out from the side of its mouth, mimicking blood.
The terrifying atmosphere from before instantly dissipated. Even Jiang Qiaoye couldn’t help but let out a “poof” of laughter.
Ran Mingyue looked down at her nose and reflected on her situation. She wondered what she should do now.
Even Jiang Qiaoye was hanging onto number 05, so why couldn’t she even touch number 06’s hand!
She hid her indignation. When Jiang Qiaoye laughed, she put her hand on her forehead, closed her eyes uncomfortably, and swayed slightly.
Li Guang immediately darted forward. She supported Ran Mingyue’s wrist with her left hand and gently put her right hand around Ran Mingyue’s shoulder to let her lean on her. “Sister Mingyue? Are you okay?”
Jiang Qiaoye’s laughter came to an abrupt halt. He looked at Ran Mingyue in confusion: “Teacher Ran, do you faint at the sight of corpses or blood? That’s ketchup.”
Ran Mingyue’s fingertips rested on Li Guang’s wrist without moving. The temperature of their bodies touching was so clear. She had a serious expression on her face and said the most natural and absurd lie of her life: “I’m sorry, I faint at the sight of dot eyes.
