Chapter 69 Successful Hand-in-Hand
Gu Jia's reaction was somewhat slow.
He was really not good at communicating with people like Sun Zhao, and when the other party asked him a question, he just nodded.
Sun Zhao then looked Gu Jia up and down.
Gu Jia in the movie was also just a background character, one of the early characters who disappeared, and he didn't leave a strong impression on him at all - he clearly remembered that this person was in the courtyard of the Yan family not long ago, standing next to Sun Yue as a background character without saying a word, but now he actually appeared in front of the Cimu Hall.
After thinking it over, I realized that either the other person had special abilities, or they had bought a paper doll from the store.
Thinking about the price of that prop...
Sun Zhao glanced at Gu Jia a few more times. "Did you buy that script with 20 points?"
Gu Jia didn't speak. He neither admitted nor denied it, and simply started playing dead.
Anyway, Sun Zhao, the main character, won't die in the movie, and he doesn't belong to the group of people he's supposed to help.
“There’s something wrong with Cimu Hall,” Sun Zhao continued. “I searched the whole village today but couldn’t find a pigsty. I asked a few old people, and they all said that no one in the village raises pigs.”
“How is that possible…” Sun Zhao continued, “There were clearly pig squeals in the live stream.”
He probed Gu Jia, trying to get some clues from her.
"Oh." Gu Jia simply nodded and didn't continue.
Sun Zhao had known about the existence of these cheat scripts since the movie copy came out, but he had hardly ever seen anyone buy them... There was some discussion on the forum, saying that it was suspected that after buying such a script, one would become a "tourist" in the movie and would be punished for not being able to reveal any key plot points.
But Gu Jia is here now.
Sun Zhao pondered for a moment and quickly understood why the other party was able to stay here without being punished—
The main shot of the film is taken at the Yan family home.
In the Yan family's courtyard, Gu Jia used a paper doll to appear in her place, so there was no out-of-character (OOC) at all.
When they arrived at the Cimu Hall, Gu Jia remained hidden behind a tree, and in the main camera's perspective, he was not a person at all.
They're exploiting a bug here.
"Are you waiting for Yan Xun here?" Sun Zhao asked.
Upon hearing Yan Xun's name, Gu Jia, who had been keeping his head down and silent, finally raised his head slightly. He glanced at Sun Zhao a few times, then lowered his head again and said, "Hmm."
“If he’s in danger, I’ll go in.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhao glanced at Gu Jia a few more times, "You two knew each other before?"
Gu Jia shook her head.
"..." That's really strange.
Sun Zhao thought.
He opened the live stream—
[I can't argue with him, he's a real rich guy.]
[Report: I just peeked into their livestream. Heh, I guess you're out of luck. They've already found their match, and you're still stuck here doing nothing!]
"Are you speaking human language?" Sun Zhao thought to herself. "What does it mean to successfully hold hands?"
Does this mean a player touched the ghost's hand?
Since he couldn't speak, the system naturally helped him post the question in the live stream.
I really hate that you're such a blockhead! ...But you're not wrong, you really did end up holding hands with a ghost...
Sun Zhao was even more confused. He knew that there were restrictions in the live broadcast room, and viewers would not be allowed to reveal key information.
The only conclusion we can draw is that a player in the instance has already had direct contact with the monsters, so he must speed up the quest progress.
……
At this moment, Yan Xun, who had already "joined hands" with the ghost, was unaware that Sun Zhao's live stream dared to tease him like that.
He wanted to visit the main hall of the Cimu Hall.
Yan Yu had no intention of leaving the room, leaving him no chance to leave alone.
"I really need to pee," Yan Xun finally said, unable to hold it in any longer. "Can I go to the restroom?"
Yan Yu then opened his eyes; he had been meditating on the bed the whole time.
"can."
"I'll go with you."
As he spoke, he began to get out of bed and put on his shoes.
"That won't be necessary!" Yan Xun immediately refused. "We're not close enough to be completely open with each other."
Yan Yu said to him with a subtle expression, "I just said I'd wait for you outside."
“No need for that,” Yan Xun refused decisively. “I can come back on my own.”
Perhaps worried that Yan Yu would continue talking, he shook the bracelet on his wrist, "Don't you also have this one you gave me?"
Yan Yu stared at the string of things wrapped around Yan Xun's wrist for a long time before slowly nodding, "Okay."
He pointed out the location of the restroom in the Cimu Hall to Yan Xun, saying, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
"You bring an axe with you even when you go to the toilet?" Yan Yu suddenly asked.
Yan Xun glanced at the axe he was holding in his hand, "...I feel more at ease this way."
Yan Yu didn't say anything more after hearing this. He watched as Yan Xun picked up the axe, pushed open the door, and walked outside.
Once the door was closed, he walked to the still-burning candle in the dresser. He picked up the bamboo strips, but this time he extinguished the wick in the melting wax.
The candlelight went out, plunging one side of the room into darkness.
There was a rustling sound coming from the darkness, as if something was crawling out.
……
Yan Xun followed the direction Yan Yu had indicated to him.
There were no lights inside the Cimu Hall, so he could only take out his mobile phone.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and Yan Xun could only see a small patch of the road illuminated by his phone's light... But after taking a few steps, Yan Xun found himself standing at the entrance of the Cimu Hall.
The only lighting in the Cimu Hall was provided by candles and oil lamps.
Behind me was a completely dark environment, and in front of me was the main hall of the Compassionate Mother's Hall, lit only by oil lamps and candles.
In front of the offering table, there are three prayer cushions, and in the very center, a person is kneeling in worship.
Yan Xun was still holding an axe in his hand.
But his sixth sense told him to leave as soon as possible.
So he quietly took a few steps back, preparing to walk in another direction.
That person was probably too focused on his work and indeed didn't notice Yan Xun.
After Yan Xun circled around the Cimu Hall again, he found that... he had returned to the main hall of the Cimu Hall.
The man was still kneeling on the prayer mat, but his posture was different from last time. He seemed to have heard a noise behind him and wanted to turn around to check.
Yan Xun could only turn off the flashlight and quietly retreat.
But at this time, Cimu Hall no longer seemed to look like it did during the day.
Yan Xun wanted to go back to Yan Yu's room first, but found that he could no longer find the room.
When he arrived at the main hall of the Compassionate Mother's Hall again, the man had already stood up.
He was tall and thin, and his body was already turned to one side, looking like he was about to turn around.
Yan Xun didn't move this time. He stood there, looking at the tall, thin figure.
He knew that if he "got lost" again, the thing would turn its head around the next time he arrived at the main hall of the Compassionate Mother Hall.
