Chapter 082 1552 Haunted House (14)
You Jing walked along and knocked on every room. The actors opened the door with alert looks, but when they saw that it was You Jing, they opened the door one after another due to the intimidation of Zhao Jinhua beside them.
Three actors died, leaving ten actors. Excluding Xie Chi, Lu Wen and Ren Ze, the remaining seven gathered in the corridor soon.
Xia Yao subconsciously glanced towards the room in the corner. Regarding this matter, You Jing didn't call Xie Chi and the others. Was he planning to take action against them?
"Please come with us." You Jing said.
A few people followed suspiciously and came to the stair railing.
"Is there something wrong?" The actress' eyes were full of fear and she said cautiously with a flattering look on her face.
The four of them looked at You Jing, Zhao Jin, Hua Xia Yao and the other two.
You Jing received Zhao Jinhua's persuasive look, cleared his throat, and said with a gentle smile: "We have made a breakthrough and are here to invite you to join us. As long as you join us, you will be able to leave this film soon."
Everyone's eyes lit up, but they also felt that there was no such good thing in the world.
In the next two or three minutes, You Jing clearly recounted how they communicated with the spirit world and how the female ghost begged them to help find the tooth.
The actress from before was overjoyed. She looked at the remaining three people and asked impatiently, "Does that mean we can leave the movie as long as we help her find the remaining six teeth?"
In just two days and one night, three people have died, and the plot is still confusing. Several people have no clue, are extremely nervous, a little scared, and can't wait to leave.
You Jing smiled calmly, "Yes."
Zhao Jinhua standing beside him was an invisible support, and the four of them were a little moved for a moment.
Three of the four were about to agree, but the only newcomer asked a question first: "What should we do for you?"
There is no free lunch in this world. The other three people also woke up as if from a dream and looked at the three people opposite them cautiously.
You Jing looked at the rookie named Ma Heng, "Since you asked, I won't hide it. We are all knowledgeable people. You find the tooth and hand it over to us. We will communicate with the spirit and hand it over to the female ghost. This is what you have to do. For this, we can provide you with appropriate protection."
The four of them were in an uproar, and their faces looked a little ugly.
If the main storyline is to help the female ghost collect teeth, then for every tooth they hand in, they will definitely get a lot of plot exploration rewards. Now asking them to hand in the teeth after finding them, isn't that equivalent to asking them to work for nothing?
Zhao Jinhua and You Jing wanted to get free stuff from them.
"I don't think this is a big loss compared to buying and selling you." You Jing stopped smiling and raised one eyebrow, looking at them with a bit of contempt in his eyes, "Three of you are gray-name actors, you are not qualified to come here at all, you are forced in here by the APP as punishment for not making progress. I think it's a question whether you can leave alive, let alone the overall ranking. The longer you stay here, the greater the danger. Join us, the faster you can find your teeth, and the faster you can leave."
The three men looked pale, obviously thinking of the tragic endings of the other three actors. They only weighed the issue for a few seconds before they were completely shaken. They slowly walked behind You Jing to express their intention to join.
Ma Heng was still hesitating. You Jing stared down at him, "I don't think you have the right to choose."
Ma Heng's eyes revealed resentment, but he had no choice but to agree. All the people here were nothing in Zhao Jinhua's eyes. If he disagreed, he would be courting death. Now he could only give up the overall ranking to save his life.
Ma Heng fell into deep regret. He shouldn't have coveted the 20% bonus points. Now he was facing a situation where he would most likely pass the level as cannon fodder and get nothing in the overall ranking reward...
You Jing was somewhat pleased with himself after easily winning over all the actors except Xie Chi. "Now open the app and choose to help the female ghost."
Four people received the message from the APP and chose to join.
Xia Yao was anxious, and she joined out of helplessness. Now only Xie Chi and the other two had not joined.
You Jing coughed to attract everyone's attention, "Listen, since we have the same goal, I will get straight to the point. There is something very important. Xie Chi has a tooth in his hand."
The four of them looked at each other.
Xia Yao's eyes widened secretly. Did he mean to steal the tooth?
You Jing's next words confirmed her guess, "Let's go ask him for it right away."
There was joy and madness in You Jing's eyes.
"We're fine ." The four of them quickly expressed their opinions. They had seen the hatred between Xie Chi and You Jing all along. Xie Chi had nothing to do with them, and their own lives were the most important.
Xia Yao felt that things were getting worse, but there was no way she could tip off anyone at this moment.
…
Inside the room, Xie Chi looked at his watch again and said to Lu Wen and Ren Ze, "I'll go find the sign now, you can start looking for the body."
Just as Xie Chi was about to go out, Ren Ze called him back and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Ren Ze was a little hesitant, "Should we keep our search for the body a secret from the other actors?"
Xie Chi thought for a few seconds, "No, you can even publicize it, because the more actors who join the camp, the more people who help in the search, and the faster we can find the body-"
Xie Chi was halfway through his words when there was a sudden knock on the door. The knock was urgent, revealing the person's impatience and contempt.
Xie Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled, "Maybe not."
"They are so stupid." Xie Chi sighed softly. Did they really choose the female ghost camp?
"They?" Lu Wen was stunned. "Who?"
Xie Chi gave him a look, signaling him to be patient. The sense of crisis was gradually rising, but he had no way to avoid it. Xie Chi did not hesitate and went straight to open the door.
You Jing was about to kick the door when it suddenly opened. He saw a familiar face, sneered and stretched out his hand, "Hand it over."
Xie Chi glanced at the crowd of people standing behind You Jing, and sneered in his heart, "The first stupid ones lead the next stupid ones."
He lowered his head and stared at the hand that You Jing extended to him, his expression indifferent, "Hand over what?"
You Jing sneered, "Don't play dumb. I saw it that day. Do you need me to remind you? It's in the room where monkey brains are eaten raw. It's under the bed."
Xie Chi's expression remained unchanged as he looked up at him, "So what?"
This was a readily acknowledged statement.
Lu Wen and Ren Ze secretly clenched their fists. They were outnumbered and Zhao Jinhua was also there. If they really wanted to snatch it, they would be no match at all.
Xie Chi just felt that there was no need to hide it. If they really broke in to look for it, no matter how deep the tooth was hidden, it would not withstand a carpet search. There was no doubt that such a key item as a tooth would be destroyed or discarded.
Moreover, he now has more than one tooth. If all the teeth are gathered, the cannibal can exert her maximum power. Then he only needs to keep the last tooth. The other one would be icing on the cake, but not having it is not a big deal. When necessary, sacrificing the pawn to save the king is a decision he had already thought of. He can even use it to gain the greatest benefit.
His focus now is to find the cards, and he has no time to play with this group of people. Moreover, he does not want to conflict with Zhao Jinhua unless necessary. He is not sure about Zhao Jinhua's ability, but most likely Xie Xinglan is far inferior to Zhao Jinhua for the time being.
This kind of gap cannot be made up by talent, but is the result of day-to-day accumulation. Otherwise, the veterans here will have no dignity or status and will be easily stepped on by newcomers, which is impossible in itself.
He dared to come despite knowing the gap because of another consideration - there are not only Zhao Jinhua and him here, but also ghosts and the APP that makes the rules.
As long as he can take advantage of it, he can make a profit from it. He doesn't have to get involved himself and make himself embarrassed. He just needs to wait for the opportunity.
Can't wait to talk about other things.
At the moment, he absolutely does not want to fight to the death, then get seriously injured, and finally benefit from it.
Since you have made up your mind to kill, you should look for an opportunity to kill him with one blow. Before that, don't reveal any cards.
Xie Chi remained silent. You Jing became impatient. "I don't think you have the right to choose."
This was the second time he said this today.
Xia Yao glanced at Xie Chi behind You Jing with an apologetic look, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
Ren Ze gritted his teeth and was about to go up and beat someone up in anger, but was stopped and pushed back by Lu Wen.
Lu Wen whispered, "Trust Xie Chi."
Ren Ze calmed down a little, but his face was still gloomy.
Xie Chi suddenly looked up, met his gaze, and smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
You Jing thought there was something wrong with his ears at first, "You..."
"Yes, I agree." Xie Chi repeated.
You Jing tilted his head to look at Zhao Jinhua, questioning her with his eyes.
Xie Chi agreed so readily, is there some conspiracy?
Xie Chi looked at him, "Why, you don't even dare to ask for it?"
You Jing came back to his senses, clenched his hands, and said sarcastically: "You really are a 'smart guy'."
Zhao Jinhua thought deeper than You Jing. Xie Chi agreed so quickly. Could it be that he had some information that they didn't know...
"Don't get me wrong." Xie Chi chuckled, his eyes swept across the people behind You Jing with different expressions, and then he retracted his gaze, "I'm not stupid. You said I'm a smart person, and smart people don't do business that loses money."
"What do you mean?" You Jing frowned. This feeling of not being able to understand what Xie Chi was thinking made him extremely irritated.
"You have mastered the menu. Everyone is here, why don't you share it? Hmm?" Xie Chi said casually, as if he was just talking about a common thing, but the faces of the people behind You Jing suddenly changed.
Zhao Jinhua and You Jing looked extremely ugly.
You Jing glared at him, "When did you know that?"
"When you do stupid things at the table."
Ren Ze, who was still angry behind the scenes, was suddenly amused and felt mixed emotions for a moment.
"Of course I was just bluffing, but I didn't expect there would really be a menu. It was a pleasant surprise."
Lu Wen felt that in terms of the ability to be weird, You Jing and Xie Chi were not on the same level.
"You!" You Jing's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists. It was with great difficulty that he suppressed the urge to attack. "Are you worthy? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
"I'm not worthy." Xie Chi readily admitted, and then changed the subject, "But you asked them to help you find teeth, and you didn't even share the menu. Isn't that a bit unfair? You have to ensure their survival rate, don't you? Besides, you told us, and it didn't cause any loss to you. It's not an important clue. You just told us to help everyone avoid risks. It's a win-win situation, so why not do it?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"In that case, I don't think it will be easy for you to find my tooth." Xie Chi said regretfully, "I seem to have forgotten where I hid it."
"Do you want to search my body or the room to see if it's there?" Xie Chi opened his arms generously, as if letting you search him.
"you--"
"Enough!" Zhao Jinhua couldn't stand it anymore. She really needed the help of these grey-named trash now, and time was too important to her. She really didn't have time to deal with Xie Chi now. Killing Xie Chi was just a side job. The most important thing was to complete the filming of the movie. She was not a person who couldn't distinguish between the important and the unimportant, and she couldn't afford to waste time.
Moreover, this Xie Chi was a bit mysterious. Zhao Jinhua had no idea where Xie Chi got so much information.
He obviously knew why they were looking for the teeth.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
Zhao Jinhua took out the menu from the app and slapped it on the table. He sneered and looked at Xie Chi, "Give me the teeth."
With her strength, she was sure that Xie Chi would not go back on his word.
Everyone rushed forward to look at the menu. Xie Chi glanced at it, wrote down the name of each dish, and without hesitation, he picked out the tooth he had hidden on the wall and put it into Zhao Jinhua's palm.
After the group left, Xie Chi closed the door.
Ren Ze's eyes turned red with anger, "Why did you give it to them?"
Xie Chi glanced at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? They are not losing money, and I will always make a lot of money."
"Where did I make money?" Ren Ze calmed down a little and said with a pout.
"I am in the animal camp. Knowing the name of the dish is a great thing for me." Xie Chi was obviously smiling, but there was no smile . "Getting teeth may not be a good thing for them."
