Dugout, balloon, photo mystery.

Unlike her brother, Gan Tang speaks with a slight Su Bai accent. Apart from being a bit too tall and upright, she has a gentle and non-aggressive demeanor, wearing a simple white shirt with black pants, like a mermaid who just got a pair of legs.

But having survived to the eighth mission without the Twilight Zone, only a fool would think the siblings were as gentle and harmless as they appeared.

"Your Eyes ......"

Sure enough, when Gan Tang approached, saw his eyes, drew in a light breath of cold air, and said to his own brother, "Isn't he the one mentioned on the forums ......"

After surviving the seventh mission, someone thanked Song Chunyang, a fellow traveler who helped them, on the forums.

During that time, Song Chunyang became a hot commodity, and someone even started an analysis post for him, analyzing the benefits of yin and yang eyes in the execution of the mission.

Some people didn't believe it and scoffed at it, but others offered Song Chunyang alliances for high bounties, even six figures or more, which made Song Chunyang's heart flutter for a while, but he gave up when he thought about his alliance with Yuan Benshan.

Now, this six-figure man is sitting right in front of them.

Without looking at his sister, Gan Yu got down on one knee, looked up and asked Chi Xiaochi : "...... Are you?"

Chi Xiaochi does not answer, and picks his gold-rimmed glasses off the bridge of his nose with one finger.

Gan Yu: "......"

Chi Xiaochi held up her glasses for a closer look, "Sure enough, they're flat."

After saying that, he put the glasses on his own face, leaned close to Gan Yu's standard gentle and elegant Noble Gong Zi face, and blinked his heterochromatic pupils with gemstone luster: "See for yourself."

The heat of his breath fluttered Gan Yu's eyelashes.

061 in Gan Yu's vest gave a dark cry of distress.

He had long ago made a filter for himself, no matter Chi Xiaochi in his eyes Chi Xiaochi is always his original appearance, this originally made to act very much by that face made, the effect is amazing, live a leprechaun.

Chi Xiaochi watched the base of his ears.

The man's aura is really too much like 061's, and a little probing should lead to a conclusion.

In accordance with the characterization of 061 ......

But before his ears could turn red, Chi Xiaochi's chin was pinched again.

Gan Yu scrutinized Chi Xiaochi, who was wearing her own glasses, with a smile and not a laugh, her voice still gentle, but her eyes had taken on a subtle change, "Well, Nurse Song should normally wear contacts, and right now it looks as if it does go far beyond the price offered to you on the internet."

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

Gan Yu said, "Half a million dollars and make an alliance with us. How about that."

As soon as she realized that this man was unlikely to be 061, Chi Xiaochi's playfulness was put away, blocked his hand, and thought for a moment, "I have an ally."

Gan Yu dropped to one knee in front of him, "Seven hundred thousand dollars."

Chi Xiaochi laughed, "Dr. Gan could live through eight worlds and still need my help."

"No need to take care of me." Gan Yu pointed to Gan Tang behind him and politely said, "I would like you to protect my sister."

Gan Tang didn't seem to have a problem with his brother's actions either, nodding slightly to Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi propped her face up with one hand, "I'll think about it."

Gan Yu didn't blink: "One million dollars."

Chi Xiaochi: "Deal."

Xi Lou: "......" Have you thought about that for a second?

In fact, Xi Lou didn't really approve of Chi Xiaochi teaming up with such a group of siblings that appeared out of nowhere, but in comparison, this stranger who offered to make a money deal seemed a lot more believable than Song Chunyang's pillow talker.

Seeing Chi Xiaochi's promise, Gan Yu smiled faintly, "By the way, I have one more condition attached."

Chi Xiaochi raised an eyebrow, not in a hurry to agree.

Gan Yu said, "Please ask Nurse Song to help me put my glasses on."

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

Gan Yu really did not move, only squatting in front of Chi Xiaochi, his temperament was still gentle, seemingly not much oppression, but his posture was clearly not to be refused.

Chi Xiaochi didn't mind, and froze before offering to hand back his glasses and straightening the left side of his eyeglass chain for him.

Gan Yu got up and handed him a pair of sunglasses cases that were sitting on his vanity.

This is usually Song Chunyang's must-have prop for pretending to be blind, but Gan Yu might have used it as Song Chunyang's prop to cover his pupil color.

He said, "Let's go to the set."

Chi Xiaochi knows that he has wasted too much time here and it's time for him to go out and see what's going on.

He already had someone on his side, and he had the guts to go out there.

But what called him a little concerned was what the hell was going on with that human head balloon just now.

He hasn't even arrived on set and the ghost appears?

Did he just trigger any death flags?

Or is it that throughout the crew, any staff member who is not a taskmaster is a ghost?

...... But that's not the case.

Upon arriving at the set, the scene was indeed a mess due to the director's indignant departure.

Chi Xiaochi runs his eyes over the crowd and realizes that it's full of people moving around.

To be precise, it is a special kind of "person".

According to Xi Lou, they are NPCs in this quest world, just like the "Librarian" in the seventh quest, they are just projections that help and push them to complete the quest.

They have shape and form, but they're also just NPCs.

Chi Xiaochi searched the staff intently and didn't find the gorgeous balloon of a human head from earlier.

And in the midst of this chaos, there were four people who were clearly wandering away, looking at the busy scene and exchanging pleasantries, as if they were discussing their next plan of action.

Chi Xiaochi offered to put her hand in Gan Yu's.

Gan Yu subconsciously picked it up.

Chi Xiaochi said, "Help me."

Gan Yu: "Huh?"

Chi Xiaochi: "I am blind."

Gan Yu, the newest member of the team, grabbed his big arm and helped him forward, not forgetting to warn him in a seemingly loud voice, "Watch out for the road."

Noticing his movements, Chi Xiaochi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Taking advantage of their physical proximity, he whispered in Gan Yu's ear, "Dr. Gan, why aren't you holding my hand?"

Gan Yu was stunned.

Chi Xiaochi said in an even smaller voice, "Dr. Gan, wouldn't it be better to hold someone's little arm in order to help them?"

-- Chi Xiaochi wore a medium-sleeved shirt with his small, slender arm exposed, while Gan Yu subtly avoided the small, supportive arm and held his large, oddly enough, arm.

When Gan Yu didn't say anything, Chi Xiaochi pressed a little closer to him and called his name for the third time, "Dr. Gan, do you know that I have a physical contact disorder?"

061 raised his hand helplessly and rubbed his ears.

Chi Xiaochi has a knack for pronouncing the word "Dr. Gan" in such a way that it makes your heart flutter, and you can't help it.

Chi Xiaochi smiled and waited for his reaction, but Gan Yu reached out his arm and wrapped it around his waist, taking him right into his arms.

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

Gan Yu followed Chi Xiaochi's example and said in a civilized manner, "I am sorry, I seldom help the blind, from now on, I will start learning properly."

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

He said to Xi Lou, "Damn dead hooligans."

Xi Lou: "......" Who are you to talk about others.

Chi Xiaochi: "He makes people scared, Ting."

Xi Lou: "......" A you head, go to hell.

When no one accepted his plays, Chi Xiaochi felt that his life was as lonely as snow.

Gan Tang behind him seemed to have sensed the unnaturalness of his brother's movements and took the initiative to walk up, saying gently and softly, "My brother isn't very good at taking care of people, let me do it."

Chi Xiaochi was handed over to Gan Tang.

Seeing this girl with picturesque eyes, even Chi Xiaochi, who has always felt that Gan Yu is 061, can't help but mutter.

Even if Mr. Six was going to show up and help himself, where did this girl come from?

Buy one, get one free?

So, Gan Yu really isn't Mr. Six?

Chi Xiaochi was saddened by the thought that she would not be able to talk to 061 for a long time.

The belated trio was not a small target, and the taskmasters had spotted them.

A man with dreadlocks glances at Song Chunyang in sunglasses.

This person he had seen at the assembly, but this man and woman were total strangers to them.

He frowned, "Are you also taskmasters?"

Gan Yu nods, "Uh-huh."

"Why didn't I see you guys earlier?"

Gan Yu again explained the reasons he had just given to Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi is in charge of playing the quail in the back and acting soft, while continuing to look around for the gorgeous woman.

Gan Tang spoke softly to him, "My brother is not very good in character, so don't bother with him in general."

Chi Xiaochi said, "It's okay."

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, an argument had already started over there, with none other than the man with the dreadlocks.

He pointed at Gan Yu's face and questioned, "How is that possible? How could the system give you such an identity?"

Gan Yu shrugs, politely and a bit callously, "And yet that's the way it is. If you have any questions, why don't you go ask your system."

Gan Tang and Chi Xiaochi exchanged a quick glance, and the former helped Chi Xiaochi to step forward.

It must be said that Chi Xiaochi is a natural actor, and as soon as he takes a step, he makes a full-blown blind man's gesture, moving with a blind man's skill.

As if he was quite disturbed by the argument he had just had, he asked a little nervously, "What's wrong what's wrong?"

Gan Yu softly said, "It's okay."

The man with pigtails had an extremely poor expression, and the few people around him also had expressions of surprise, envy, and jealousy alongside, "Why is it that these two people aren't actors? How can they be staff?"

Chi Xiaochi quickly absorbed the information, her face still in pure astonishment, "Are you all actors?"

Saying that, as if to prove his identity, he patted his chest, "My name is Song Chunyang, and I'm playing the male number two, the little follower of the male lead."

The dreadlocked man was indignant, "Apart from the two of them, all of us are actors in the play. By the time we were notified to arrive, the place had already dispersed, and now someone has already gone to investigate the situation inside the villa ......"

He points to Gan Tang again : "But they're not actors, so how can they talk about being 'out of the theater'? It's not fair!"

"Why not?" Gan Yu, who always had an air of nonchalance and coldness towards bystanders, pressed down the dreadlocked man's hand pointing at Gan Tang without a second thought, "You see, he has bad eyes."

The dreadlocked man was momentarily speechless.

When they had met in the parlor a while ago, they had both sat down, and he had only felt that there was something strange about this young man, who also wore sunglasses indoors, and now, by the physical appearance alone, wasn't he a truly blind man?

It wasn't that he hadn't thought it through, who would have thought that a blind man could break into the eighth mission world?

Gan Yu said, "The system took into account the fact that he needed to be taken care of, so it let us two siblings be in charge of his living and living, and the three of us were in the same body, and we, as the people in charge of him, were also directly responsible if anything went wrong with his make-up and clothing, and I think that this arrangement was reasonable."

When he said that, he raised his eyes and looked around, his tone calm to the core: "Otherwise, which one of you will switch with us?"

Of course no one said a word.

With a blind man, it's not even good to run away when you're in danger, it's like having an extra human drag.

Thinking about this, these people who were full of resentment just now even had a hint of respect for the two siblings, Gan Yu Gan Tang.

That's not being an ally, it's helping the poor.

With their roles out of the way, Chi Xiaochi and his team were ready to explore the castle before filming began.

Maintenance of such a large a castle needs a batch of not small expenses, and obviously the owner of this place is a careful person, four neat and clean, brightly lit, wooden floor with mahogany floor special wax, light wood aroma is just right, it is clear that the owner of the old castle taste is not bad.

Gan Yu looked like he had already walked through the castle and introduced him, "Tangtang and I have looked at it, the castle is in Gothic style, covering an area of about 10,000 square meters plus the woods behind it, all the rooms for the staff and actors are concentrated on the third floor, the props, equipment, and make-up are concentrated on the west side of the second floor, the main filming and location shooting takes place throughout the first floor, the corridors and rooms on the east side of the second floor, and the woods behind it. The main filming locations were the corridors and rooms on the first and second floors on the east side, as well as the woods behind the old castle. The crew plus the actors are about seventy people, the main creators are living in the old castle, and the others are living in tents outside the old castle ......"

Chi Xiaochi can't take his eyes off the walls on either side as he absorbs the information.

Gan Tang noticed the direction Chi Xiaochi was staring and said rather helplessly, "I was shocked when I first saw it too."

The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with metal frames of various sizes, containing some expensive-looking antique paintings, but more photographs featuring people.

Chi Xiaochi touched the border of one of the photographs and found that it was made of iron.

The iron frame is heavily damped, with irregular patches of coppery-green color, but the interior is protected by double glazing, and the photographs inside, the

It was a baby lying in a cradle, arms and legs curled up, eyes closed, sound asleep.

There was a little slip of paper hanging underneath, sort of a name for this set of photos.

"'Andy or Jenny?'"

Gan Yu asked, "Can you see anything."

Chi Xiaochi shook his head.

There was nothing unusual about the photo from his perspective, it was just an ordinary photo.

But just to be on the safe side, he asked Gan Tang, who was beside him, "Is the baby in this photo with his eyes open or closed?"

Gan Tang replied, "Closed."

Chi Xiaochi's slightly relaxed expression proves that the picture in his own eyes is the same as the picture in the eyes of a normal person.

Gan Yu noticed something strange in Chi Xiaochi's expression, "What?"

Chi Xiaochi took two steps back and examined the photo, "It's kind of weird. ...... but can't tell."

He felt that all the pictures on this wall had a bit of a cold and eerie flavor to them, but he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary in the images alone.

They searched the first floor and found mostly empty rooms outside and went upstairs.

Chi Xiaochi went to the dressing room to pick up the script and held it in his arms, waiting to go back in the evening to read it in detail.

In a world where their first names are their real names, Chi Xiaochi quickly found a room on the third floor with his name tag.

After pushing the door open, Chi Xiaochi stared at her room for three seconds, took one step backwards out the door, and threw it shut with a clunk.

Gan Yu: "What's wrong?"

Chi Xiaochi, teeth chattering, "No no no nothing."

Gan Yu is alert: "A ghost?"

Chi Xiaochi took a deep breath and turned around, pressing her back against the door panel, her hand gripping the doorknob tightly, "Not right now."

Gan Yu : "......?"

Chi Xiaochi saw it clearly just now.

An extremely colorful and rich photo hangs in his room.

The photo is full of released balloons, colorful, and the close up view also takes in the person releasing the balloons, but the woman's body is blocked by the balloons, leaving only a beautiful head.

...... The face of this woman is exactly the same as the face that just appeared at the door of the dressing room.

And the glass of the frame that framed the photo shattered all over the place, as if something had ballooned out of it and floated back in.

At a glance just now, Chi Xiaochi had realized that the painting was normal, it just gave off the same ominous aura as the paintings in the corridor.

But even so he still slowed down for a while, until the cold and ruthless Xi Lou coolly said "not moving is Wang Ba", he only with a heart that misses 061, pushed open the bedroom door again.

Chi Xiaochi had the courage to step forward and reconfirm the security of the photo.

The name of the photo, is Balloon Holding Her.

Safe, yes, but the picture was facing his bed, and Chi Xiaochi didn't have the courage to go to sleep with that head staring at him.

He stated, "I'll have to sleep in a different room."

Gan Yu said, "There is no hurry. Let's take a look from room to room first."

Now that none of the staff had yet come up to the third floor to rest, and all the bedrooms were unlocked, Chi Xiaochi looked from room to room and realized that there was a pair of photographs hanging in each room, each of which gave a faint sense of unease.

But the moment he enters one of the bedrooms, Chi Xiaochi gets the creeps.

His eyes locked on a picture on the wall and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

It was a sense of horror that was countless times stronger than an ordinary photo, and when you got close enough to sniff lightly, there was also a light feminine fragrance.

The photo is called "Returning Home in the Snowy Night", and the photo is a vast snow field.

The ...... snow is beautiful, but there is no one who returns at night.

He couldn't help but voice his inquiry, "Whose room is this?"

Gan Tang went out to confirm and replied, "It's a guy named ...... Guan Qiaoqiao."

Chi Xiaochi : "...... Oh. That's okay."

He walked out of the room and was about to continue his investigation together with the Gan siblings when he saw Yuan Benshan walk out of a room at the end of the third floor and was about to wave at him, but then he saw the two people beside him and was stunned, and his jaw tightened, unable to tell if he was disgruntled or nervous.

But Chi Xiaochi had quickly slipped into Song Chunyang's role and ran over to him with a jaunty grin, "Old Yuan!"

Yuan Benshan whispers, "Who are they?"

Chi Xiaochi replied, "He is Dr. Gan from our hospital, with a promising future, I don't know how he got in." His tone was regretful and affectionate, as if he had known this Dr. Gan for more than eight lifetimes.

Without waiting for Yuan Benshan to comment, he looked around and showed some nervousness, "Old Yuan, where is Qiaoqiao, do you know?"

Yuan Benshan knew, of course, that Guan Qiaoqiao was in the room behind him.

But when he saw that Song Chunyang did not look right, he denied it and said, "The two of us split up and investigated, so what happened?"

"It's good that she's not here ...... " Chi Xiaochi muttered in a low voice, and then showed a difficult expression, as if he had made a great determination, before lowering his voice a little bit, to make sure that only he and Yuan Benshan could hear it, "Lao Yuan, I have something to tell you. "Old Yuan, let me tell you something."

Yuan Benshan's palms were sweaty and he composed himself, "Go ahead."

Chi Xiaochi : "Do you know how to change the shades?"

Yuan Benshan : "......"
