Chapter 225 Island (VII)
Cheng Mengting: "It must be a ghost, humans can't do this..."
Although she was mumbling to herself, her voice was not small, so everyone present could hear it clearly.
Cheng Mengting's voice continued: "Could it be that the ghost has sneaked in, so it can kill people silently..."
As she finished speaking, Zhao Rulan seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at someone: "Xiao Yu, you went into the kitchen just now, right?"
Because of Zhao Rulan's words, everyone else's attention also fell on Xiaoyu in front of them.
Xiaoyu was looking at everything with a pale face, and suddenly she attracted a lot of attention.
Zhao Rulan still had a smile on his lips: "Now that I think about it, it's very likely that the ghost was on the island when the mission was issued."
"And you were alone with us for a while. Could it be that you were actually killed by a ghost and replaced?"
"You were the one who killed Uncle Zhong. You entered the kitchen and killed him, then walked out as if nothing had happened..."
Zhao Rulan's words sounded reasonable, and Xiaoyu immediately received many horrified looks. Cheng Mengting, who was close to Xiaoyu Station, hurriedly distanced herself from him.
Xiaoyu's expression became anxious: "No, I'm not a ghost!"
"And I just returned to the island..."
Just returned to the island?
Chen Shi reacted and shouted as if he had caught a loophole in Xiaoyu's words: "That's right!"
"The voice just said that the ghost just returned to the island, and you have exposed yourself!"
However, Chen Shi, who was becoming more and more excited as he spoke, caught a glimpse of Uncle Zhong on the ceiling nearby and immediately came to his senses, realizing that no matter what, he was facing a ghost.
If Xiaoyu in front of him got angry, he would hang him on the ceiling...
After realizing this, Chen Shi closed his mouth and quietly moved aside. Xin Min sensed a strong smell of urine and dodged with a frown.
Chen Shi could sense Xin Min's disdain, but he didn't have time to get angry. His eyes fell on Zhao Rulan, and he couldn't help but sigh at the other party's boldness. He pointed out who the ghost was so bluntly, and didn't seem to worry about the ghost's retaliation at all.
Xiaoyu seemed to be stunned and did not speak for a long time.
Zhao Rulan: "Hey, you admit it so soon?"
After hearing what Zhao Rulan said, Xiaoyu finally came back to her senses and opened her mouth to say something, but before she could make a sound, she was interrupted by the other party.
Obviously Zhao Rulan was not going to give Xiaoyu a chance to explain.
Qiao Yuan: "She is not a ghost. She should be the person who pretended to be a ghost before, Xiaoyu's sister."
...Xiaoyu’s sister?
The others then remembered that Xiaoyu had mentioned before that she did have a twin sister. However, their impressions of Xiaoyu's sister were all based on her narration, or from their quick glance at her back.
Coupled with the sudden appearance of the system afterwards, everyone even forgot that Xiaoyu’s sister existed in the first place.
So the Xiaoyu in front of me is actually Xiaoyu’s sister?
Unlike the lively and outgoing Qin Yu, Qin Ning is introverted and shy. Her sister is responsible for taking on acting jobs and contacting the crew.
Therefore, after being selected by the program team, she took the initiative to choose the role of a ghost.
After all, there is no need to communicate with other guests in this way. You just need to walk around in front of the guests a few times at a specific time.
What she didn't expect was that just as she arrived at another nearby island to rest, her radio received a call from Shan Ge, asking her to rush to Xiaozhou Island immediately, saying that something had happened to Qin Yu.
Shan Ge's voice was filled with complaints: "Really? Because she said there was a problem with the program, I quickly called the staff of the program team to discuss it. I didn't expect that I can't contact them now..."
"It will take too long for us to send someone over. You go over and take a look, then tell her that the program team has assigned a new task to the guests, which will be announced automatically when the time comes. Ask her to delay for a while."
"By the way, don't be surprised no matter what happens. We have come up with this idea after putting our heads together. Don't let anything slip..."
Qin Ning took note of Shan Ge's words, and then she felt worried. After all, she knew that according to Qin Yu's character, if she encountered such an unexpected situation, she should be nervously waiting for Shan Ge's reply, instead of leaving suddenly like now.
When Qin Ning hurried over, he found Qin Yu leaning behind a tree.
She finally let go of the worry in her heart and asked Qin Yu what was going on and why he didn't report back to Shan Ge at that time.
Qin Yu's voice was very low, but it was still audible: "The radio is broken."
"I'm feeling a little unwell and would like to borrow your boat to leave. Can you take my place and greet the guests for me?"
Qin Ning knew that Qin Yu was really upset and that was why she offered to take over, so she agreed without much hesitation. She had planned to contact Shan Ge and report to him, but the radio was unable to contact him.
Qin Yu also quietly reminded Qin Ning that she had been away for too long and the guests might have become anxious.
When Qin Ning heard this, she couldn't help but become anxious. After all, she had just witnessed Shan Ge's anger.
Qin Ning looked exactly the same as Qin Yu. After taking off her makeup and the skirt she wore specifically for dressing up as a ghost, she quickly changed into Qin Yu's clothes and hurried over.
Because she had never actually interacted with these guests, Qin Ning was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to say much. Fortunately, due to the heavy rain, others just thought she was like that because of the cold, so they didn't ask, which made Qin Ning feel relieved.
What she didn't expect was that the subsequent developments had exceeded her expectations.
When she heard the system voice suddenly ringing in her ears, her first reaction was that it was a task assigned by the program team, but after hearing everyone's discussion, she became unsure again.
Because she had been familiar with the house with Qin Yu before, she remembered where the firewood was placed.
It was not until she saw Uncle Zhong die in such a tragic way that she finally realized that there really were ghosts.
Qin Ning looked horrified: "I really don't know how Uncle Zhong died..."
After listening to Qin Ning's story, Huo Ling finally spoke up and asked what everyone was thinking. He looked at Qin Ning in confusion: "Then why didn't you refute it immediately when Miss Zhao said you were a ghost?"
Qin Ning seemed to be swallowing, and after a few seconds he answered: "Because... because I thought of my sister."
"If there really is a ghost on this island, and it came onto the island at that time, then what happened to my sister?"
She tried hard to recall how she and Qin Yu interacted with each other at that time.
Qin Ning hadn’t thought about it that way before, but now thinking about it, Qin Yu was indeed a little strange at that time.
Qin Yu had been sitting there at the time, and Qin Ning only saw her simply waving her arms.
And I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my memory, but Qin Yu’s voice is much rougher than before…
