Chapter 058 Horror Mashup (13)
This is the scenery.
After successfully finding the girl he had a crush on among the many dead souls on the stage, You Jing took the girl off the stage with a look of pride in his eyes.
Before, after he gave the token to the ghost girl, the ghost girl would temporarily capture the soul of the girl he had a crush on, hide it in the ghost room on the stage, and put a mask on her. He had to quickly find the girl he had a crush on among them.
You Jing was deliberately extra careful. When the APP asked him to randomly pick a girl he had a crush on, he picked a very short one.
His mother had told him about the APP's tricks.
APPs generally only provide very superficial information, and often play word games to mislead actors.
The APP did not emphasize the significance of choosing a girl you have a crush on, but there would definitely be a difference in what kind of girl you choose. You Jing guessed that he might have to make a distinction when looking for his crush, and he guessed right, so he took advantage of the convenience at the beginning.
You Jing took the girl to the ghost girl sitting downstairs, recalling the scene of handing over the token just now, and felt a little annoyed.
APP actually uses that kind of thing as a keepsake.
If I had known he would come to "Horror Medley", variety shows are not like movies. In order to entertain the audience, APP may let the actors face various situations. The probability of actors making a fool of themselves is very high, which is too embarrassing.
Fortunately, all the actors were like him and could not escape the APP's tricks. Thinking of this, You Jing felt a lot more relieved.
The ghost girl was sitting in the third row from the bottom, and You Jing walked up to her.
The ghost girl's face was hidden under the black veil. She said, "Take another look at the girl you like."
You Jing turned his head and was so frightened that he almost jumped out.
That pretty girl turned into an ugly old woman in the blink of an eye. Her flesh had sagged and hung limply on her face. The skin on her face was like chicken skin, loose and covered with pimples.
"This is what she looks like when she's old," said the ghost girl.
You Jing gritted his teeth and still held the girl's hand.
The next second, the girl's face changed again, this time it was even more terrifying, it was the look of a girl after being burned, with black nostrils, empty eye sockets, and a missing chin...
You Jing managed to resist the urge to vomit with great difficulty.
The ghost girl raised her hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't you love her? If you love her, you must accept everything about her, no matter how old she is or how disfigured she is. Otherwise, your love is false. Go and kiss her."
You Jing's eyes widened secretly. He was asked to kiss such a disgusting face? This person didn't even have complete and full lips. Her lips were now just a thin layer of burnt skin.
"Go kiss her!" the ghost girl said again. This time she had obviously lost her patience. Her voice was hysterical, hideous and sick.
The belief in winning outweighs everything else. You Jing convinces himself again and again that this is just an illusion. Finally, he stops hesitating and kisses the stranger girl's cheek with a devout look in his eyes.
He tried his best to act gentlemanly and gentle, without revealing a single flaw, even though he felt extremely disgusted.
The ghost girl seemed very satisfied and smiled.
…
[Ah, if Xie Chi wasn't there, I might think that Youjing was quite romantic and hardworking. Now I just feel... emm, it's bleak. ]
[I understand. Once you start making comparisons, you’ll find the scenery boring. Although you’re smart, you’re pretty rule-abiding.]
[I think he is too serious. Xie Chi is playing seriously, but the essence is still playing. You Jing is really serious, and it becomes boring when he is serious.]
[And isn't it a bit of a loss for him? Doesn't he want his girlfriend's fans? It's all acting, Xie Chi didn't lose anything, he just talked nonsense, and when You Jing really showed up and went into the adult entertainment industry, he was left behind. He gained fans while You Jing lost fans. In this case, he might as well just use props to get in. ]
[Maybe you can't bear to part with the props? Or maybe you don't want to be accused of only knowing how to use props? ]
[Is this normal? Maybe he saw that he was second and felt a little unbalanced and confused, and wanted to win?]
[Didn't you guys find out that there are two copies? Didn't Xie Chi reveal any of his tricks? Where are his props? ]
[I still want to see a more exciting story. I'm a little curious about how Silly Lu will pass this story. Hahahaha, he must be so embarrassed that he's like a mimosa.]
[Report! Hanhan has passed the first level. ]
[It’s a pity to say that Xie Chi’s ghost girl has been reincarnated, but the ghost girls from the other newcomers are still NPCs.]
…
You Jing passed two more levels through continuous self-hypnosis, and finally got through the "Ghost Girl's Ball" where the actors were embarrassed but the audience was crazy, and returned to the original room.
He opened his phone and took a look, then smiled triumphantly.
He is first, he surpassed Xie Chi.
On the APP, there is a short introduction in the story column "Ghost Girl Ball": You won eternal love with your sincerity.
The door behind him creaked, You Jing turned around and saw Xie Chi pushing the door open.
Xie Chi looked up and was stunned when he saw You Jing, but he did not lose his composure at all. He leaned against the door with one hand in his pocket and said with a faint smile: "Congratulations."
"You are fast too." You Jing responded with a friendly smile, but there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Xie Chi ignored him, strode in, pulled out a chair and sat down: "You choose."
This is the rule. Whoever comes in first gets to choose the token for the next level. He was one step slower than You Jing, which showed that You Jing still had some skills, otherwise he would really not deserve the first place.
You Jing was annoyed by his calmness and indifference, as if he cared a lot about something and wanted it desperately, but this person was so dismissive that he didn't even bother to give him an expression.
You Jing gritted his teeth secretly, turned around and went to the cabinet to choose a keepsake, while Xie Chi lowered his head to look at his phone.
"The Ghost Girl's Ball" had been completed at this time, and there was a short introduction in the column: She died while she was alive, and came back to life after death.
Xie Chi thought it was quite appropriate.
You Jing picked for a while, then turned around and asked Xie Chi generously, "Do you have anything you want to choose? I'm fine with anything."
Xie Chi frowned slightly and smiled gently, "It's all fine, no need to ask me."
It doesn’t matter much more than sightseeing.
【Hahahaha, the boss doesn't want to bother with him anymore. 】
[Chi Zai's inner thoughts: Don't get close to me. ]
You Jing sneered secretly, turned around and picked for a while, and finally chose a crudely made, weird-looking rag doll.
His first film is a ghost movie with a rag doll theme. This one should be similar in nature, mostly telling the story of ghosts possessing rag dolls. If he chooses this, he will have an absolute advantage.
The rag doll lit up with fluorescence. The moment You Jingxian disappeared, he smiled and waved to Xie Chi: "I hope to see you again next time."
The tone was full of provocation.
[You Jing really... doesn't he know that he is so much worse than others? Oh my god, this is so embarrassing! ]
[Yes, although Xie Chi was a step slower than him, his performance was different, even if You Jing passed one more level than him, he might not be able to catch up.]
[He definitely hasn't been hit before. Emmm, I feel that when the score is settled, he will be taught a lesson by Chi Zai.]
【I feel a little aggrieved, second.】
Xie Chi shrugged. He had seen many people like You Jing. When they were in a high position, they were happy to help the weak to satisfy their boring vanity. Once they felt threatened, they would immediately become alert and nervous. They were willing to treat others as imaginary enemies and would not stop until they killed others to prove their superiority.
You Jing is suitable for standing on a high place and being looked up to by others. Once he falls off the altar, he will surely collapse and despair.
Xie Chi had no interest in pulling him down, he just wanted to be first.
The evening view on the phone screen lit up for half a minute——
【Open the short film "Hide and Seek". 】
Xie Chi was startled. This time it was a short film, not a story. The film should be close to the film, and the structure of the story is different.
Also, why is the short film called "Hide and Seek" when it is clearly about dolls? What is the relationship between dolls and the game of hide and seek?
Xie Chi couldn't figure it out for the time being.
Before teleporting, Xie Chi looked at the rag doll carefully.
The doll must have been made by hand, not mass-produced by machine, and the stitching was extremely rough. The stitching on the back of the doll felt hard, as if something was hidden inside.
Before he could open it and look, he disappeared into the room.
…
When Xie Chi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small room of less than ten square meters. The light in the room was not good, and it was a bit hard to see. The room smelled of instant noodles, and the clothes on his body were very cheap. It seemed that the character's financial situation was not very good.
The walls of the house were covered with bloody posters: a headless schoolgirl, a female ghost crawling on the ground like a snake, a skull... There were also many small horror-related photos on the windows.
You can't tell what his occupation is just by looking at him. He is very poor.
The cell phone rang at the right moment.
[You are a horror anchor on a live broadcast platform's Discovery Channel, exploring supernatural events and experiencing horror. It is now 8pm, and it is time for your live broadcast. Please open the live broadcast room.]
Live broadcast? Xie Chi paused.
Therefore, the lights in the room and the messy things on the walls should be intended to create a horror effect.
[Your live broadcast time is from 8pm to 4am the next day. During this period, you will go to the horror location proposed by the viewer who gives you the most gifts to experience horror events.]
[The character setting of this short film is not important, just play the role of a "host" well, and active actions will speed up the plot progress. 】
After understanding the situation, Xie Chi followed the instructions to exit the app and opened the live broadcast software that appeared on the mobile phone page.
The username of his live broadcast room is... Single Brothers.
Brother? Xie Chi frowned. It looked like he had an NPC companion who would appear soon.
Xie Chi walked to the table and sat down. He adjusted his hair in front of the camera, with a calm face, and started talking: "Welcome to the live broadcast room of the bachelor brothers. New friends, please subscribe. See you every night at 8 o'clock. This live broadcast room explores the supernatural and unearths horror. Why did a human head appear in the sauerkraut jar? Why did the ninety-year -old man's house frequently gasp? Why did the salted duck hanging on the clothesline turn into a corpse? The anchor will reveal them to you one by one."
Xie Xinglan: “…”
People came into the live broadcast room one after another.
"Ahhh, I found a handsome anchor. Hey... why is he from the supernatural channel?"
"Go to the Appearance Channel, I will support you, anchor!"
"There are so few people……"
[Fuck, this is frustrating. I feel like the live commentary has stolen our spotlight.]
【Thumbs up.】
[Playing the role of a host experiencing horror in a horror show, hahahaha. 】
[No nesting dolls allowed in front! ]
Xie Chi took a special look at the reward list and found that the highest reward this week was only 500 yuan. The total reward on the reward list this week was only more than 1,000 yuan. The platform took half of it, so his character only earned a few hundred yuan a week.
Discovery Channel is like this, it looks popular, but actually doesn’t make money and is not as good as the anchors with good looks.
Xie Chi thought about the task requirements and wanted to speed up the process. He smiled deeply and said, "I don't have any work to do tonight. Is there any boss willing to take care of me? I'll take the first place on the reward list. I'll be at your mercy tonight. The boss can choose the location. The goods will be delivered to your door immediately. You need to bring your own items."
"The anchor is doing pornographic things!! Report it!!"
"I think he makes more money as a duck than exploring horror, haha."
"Anyone here? Five hundred bucks a night!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a meteor shower suddenly broke out in the live broadcast room. The meteor shower immediately made the deserted live broadcast room lively, and more people rushed into the live broadcast room to pick up the gifts brought by the meteor shower.
"Wow wow wow!! Two thousand!! Holy crap, boss!!"
"really have!!"
"Oh my god, five hundred would have been enough, but they gave him two thousand! Are they afraid he won't go? Why are they trying to save him so much?"
Xie Chi thought to himself, "Here she comes," and glanced at the boss's ID: Sayaka, sister Sadako's younger sister.
Looks like a horror fan.
Xie Chi smiled and said, "Where does the boss want me to go?"
Sadako's sister Sayaka posted an address on the public screen of the barrage.
Xie Chi immediately switched out of the barrage and searched. This place was in the suburbs, not far from where he lived. It would only take about ten minutes to get there by motorcycle.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Open the door and receive the package.
Xie Chi was stunned: "What?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Damn, this beauty wouldn't mail herself here, would she?? This rich beauty delivered herself to my door late at night??"
"Ahhh, knocking on the door so late at night is so scary, especially a door like this without a peephole!"
Xie Chi gestured an OK gesture towards the live broadcast room, then calmly walked out the door, put his hand on the door handle, and slowly turned it, thinking to himself: "Brother." He was a little afraid of being killed when the door opened.
Xie Xinglan: “Yes.”
The door opened, and standing outside was a courier in green. The courier looked at the name on the delivery box and asked, "Is this Xie Chi?"
"Yes." Xie Chi said with a sigh of relief.
The courier tore off the note on the package and stuffed the box into Xie Chi's hand.
Xie Chi took the box and saw him turning around to leave, so he called him and asked with a smile: "Master, it's so late, so you shouldn't deliver the express, right?"
The courier was a shy old man, and he said honestly, "The man asked me to deliver it here on time at 8:05 today, and he gave me an extra 200 yuan."
"Is that so?" Xie Chi nodded, pretending to be in a daze. He temporarily turned off the microphone in the live broadcast room, then looked up and asked, "Master, did he call you to tell you? Was it a girl? Because I don't know who sent me the gift, maybe he wanted to give me a surprise, so it's okay for me to guess who it is."
Judging from the ID of the live broadcast room, the boss should be a girl, but it is hard to say whether he is a strong man pretending to be a girl. It is still necessary to understand the boss's situation. After all, he is the one who wants him to go to a supernatural place to experience the horror. He may have ulterior motives, or he may be related to supernatural events.
While Xie Chi's mind was racing, the courier tried to recall, "He didn't call me, he just sent me a message and asked me for the money that Alipay transferred to me."
So we don’t know the boss’s gender or age.
He sent messages instead of making phone calls, which raises the suspicion that he is trying to hide his identity, but it is just a suspicion. We cannot rule out the possibility that he has social phobia and does not like to make phone calls.
The sender's phone number was hidden on the courier slip. Xie Chi rolled his eyes slightly and pulled the courier back, a little embarrassed, "Master, I'm going to trouble you."
"What's the matter?" The courier seemed easy to talk to, a good guy.
Xie Chi said shyly, "Can you call him back to thank him for me? It's the same number he sent you the message from before."
"Okay." The courier was a little impatient, but he still took out his cell phone and dialed the number for him in a good-tempered manner.
Thirty seconds later, as expected, the call could not be connected because the phone on the other end was turned off.
Xie Chi hadn't expected it to happen, but now that there was a result, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."
After the courier left, Xie Chi closed the door again, turned on the microphone again, sat down at the table and started to unpack the package.
"Ah, midnight express delivery, mailing a human head, how exciting!! I've seen this scene many times!"
"Hey, it feels a bit supernatural!"
"Why does the anchor live in such a small place? He is so handsome, he can't be poor..."
Xie Chi opened the package, and there was a sudden sigh of disappointment in the live broadcast room.
There was nothing strange in the box, only a rag doll.
However, when Xie Chi saw the rag doll in the box, his pupils shrank.
That was the keepsake doll he had seen in the initial room.
"Hey, if you look closely, this doll is actually quite scary!"
The doll in the box is beige in color, not big, about the size of a 6-point BJD doll, with cloth on the outside and cotton stuffing inside, which feels soft to the touch. Unlike ordinary dolls, this doll has facial features that are very human-like, without the usual big eyes, small nose and unusually small mouth that dolls usually have, and the proportions are completely based on humans. The proportions of human facial features are okay if you are used to them, but on a doll's face, the eyes will appear particularly small and the face will appear particularly empty.
According to the uncanny valley effect, the more human-like a human-shaped doll is, the better it is. Before a certain threshold, the more human-like the doll is, the cuter it is. Once it exceeds a certain point, it will become creepy.
This doll looks so much like a human.
Xie Chi followed his previous memory and wiped the seams on the back of the doll, and was stunned for a moment.
When he touched it before, he found something hard hidden on the back of the doll, but now there was nothing inside the seams of the doll.
"Why did the boss give the anchor a doll? Aren't you going to explore supernatural events?"
"Wow, the boss must have planned to keep him tonight, so he prepared this specially."
"Hey, this doll..."
Xie Chi calmly held the doll and said in the live studio with a smile: "Boss, is this doll a gift for me?"
Sadako's sister Sayaka: I would like to invite you to play hide and seek at the address I gave you before.
Suddenly hearing the name of the short film "Hide and Seek", Xie Chi asked calmly: "Hide and Seek?"
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Yeah.
"Who's catching me?" Xie Chi teased.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: a ghost.
Xie Chi's expression changed slightly, but there was laughter in the live broadcast room.
"Where did this ghost come from? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, this is quite interesting!"
“It’s getting a bit more presentable!”
"There's a great atmosphere! The boss is awesome!"
"Is the anchor afraid of not talking? Go! Explore the supernatural!"
Xie Chi raised the rag doll in his hand towards the camera: "What about this doll?"
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Prepare a bunch of hair, a handful of rice, and a small bit of nails, then use scissors to cut the seams on the back of the doll and stuff these things in.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: After you do all this, go to the address I gave you, and the ghost will come to catch you.
