Meetings, coding, and the Ghost.

Guan Qiaoqiao gradually lost his strength, and fell into a ball, opening his mouth to cry out.

It was about 8 p.m. when Yuan Benshan returned to the third floor, accompanied by another young taskmaster with small freckles on his face.

Chi Xiaochi and others gathered in an empty room.

This mission requires the cooperation of all, so the missionaries choose to spread out the investigation, and agreed to meet each other at nine o'clock in the evening, to report on their investigations, and draw a map of the topography of the old castle together.

No one expected the meeting time to be moved up because of such an accident.

There was a girl sitting to the left and right of Guan Qiaoqiao, but she took no comfort in this. Her eyes were red, her fingers curled nervously into chicken claws, she scratched at her knees, and a frightened animal gurgle escaped her throat.

Seeing the living Guan Qiaoqiao , Yuan Benshan frowned slightly.

--I can't believe she's still alive!

He had thought that the ghost could kill Guan Qiaoqiao with one blow.

But he still took the initiative to walk up, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?"

Guan Qiaoqiao looked up sluggishly, took three seconds to recognize who he was, and then, regardless, pounced on him, pinched him by the collar with both hands, his eyes bloodshot, his lips trembling, full of grief, suspicion, and rage, and unable to utter a single word in the midst of all these emotions.

Yuan Benshan turned to look at Chi Xiaochi with a puzzled look on his face and reached out to help her, as if he really didn't know where Guan Qiaoqiao's anger was coming from: "Chunyang, what's wrong? What's wrong with her?"

Chi Xiaochi, who was dutifully playing the role of the little blind man, groped his way up to him and told him what had happened.

Of course, in front of the crowd, he selectively omitted the fact that he had eyes of yin and yang, and only said that Guan Qiaoqiao was being targeted by a ghost, and lied that he saw an unfamiliar woman abducted into Guan Qiaoqiao's room.

He chided, "Old Yuan, I told you to talk to Qiaoqiao!"

Yuan Benshan clamped up his eyebrows, his tone had indescribable chagrin, "I haven't seen Qiaoqiao all this afternoon, and during dinner, I talked to him ...... again," he pointed to the taskmaster with the small freckles. "Being called over by the director to talk about the movie, I had thought to talk to her after the meeting in the evening."

Freckles nodded in acquiescence to Yuan Benshan's statement.

Guan Qiaoqiao: "You--"

Yuan Benshan raised an eyebrow, slightly more aggravated, "Qiaoqiao, do you think we've met this afternoon?"

Guan Qiaoqiao wanted to say something, but when the rest of her eyes fell on Chi Xiaochi, who was supporting her, she hesitated.

She was on the verge of a breakdown, yet her sanity remained.

If she admits that they've met, Song Chunyang will surely pursue the matter, and if she reveals their scheme, will Song Chunyang still help her?

This straw has always worked, and Guan Qiaoqiao will never give up until the last minute.

Guan Qiaoqiao stopped talking and just shivered.

"Think back carefully." The dreadlocked man took Guan Qiaoqiao's hysterical questioning of Yuan Benshan as an object-neutral pre-dying freakout, "What the hell did you do to get targeted by a ghost?"

Guan Qiaoqiao screams, "I didn't do anything!"

The dreadlocked man said nonchalantly, "That's your bad luck."

None of the other taskmasters said anything, but clearly agreed with the dreadlocked man's assessment.

Gan Yu, leaning against the wall, opened his mouth and calmly commented on the remarks as above, "It's all bullshit."

The man with pigtails was stunned, and just wanted to have a fit, then he saw Gan Yu caressing his eyeglasses chain, and continued, "If it all depends on 'fate' in the mission world, then we all sit cross-legged on the ground and recite the Buddha's prayer, and wait for the ghosts to collect people's heads one by one, and get tired of it. Besides, if you've been chosen to be in this mission world, you still don't know whether your fate is good or not in your own heart."

Chi Xiaochi: "......" Oh, wow.

This is exactly what Chi Xiaochi is thinking at the moment, but he is still wearing Song Chunyang's sheep's clothing, so it's not easy for him to say it.

Don't tell me, it's kind of sexy when the man dislikes people gently.

Guan Qiaoqiao said incoherently, "I really didn't do anything! The movie didn't start shooting, did it? Then why me? Why me?"

Gan Tang, aside, thought for a moment and spoke softly, "I have an idea."

Her voice was soft, but she was slow and extremely calm: "If Guan Qiaoqiao has violated the taboo, why doesn't this ghost kill Guan Qiaoqiao directly. My guess is that this ghost, at least for now, does not have the ability to kill people directly, and can only influence people by way of spiritual pollution. None of us know how this influence will spread on and what kind of results it will cause, so we need to protect ...... or more accurately say, 'observe' Guan Qiaoqiao."

Immediately, someone pointedly retorted, "You also said that it's 'contamination', an infectious disease. What if this woman has become infectious?"

He didn't mention exactly what should be done, but anyone could think of what he meant behind that statement.

Since it's a source of infection, then of course it should be eliminated.

Gan Tang calmly said, "Of course, that is a possibility. I still favor observation and protection; after all, we currently have almost no clues other than the fact that Guan Qiaoqiao is being targeted by a ghost. Since you chose to give up so quickly, the information we gained from our observation will not be shared with you."

In three words, she made her position clear, delineated the group, and vaguely threatened the man.

The man's heart was weak and he obediently shut his mouth.

After stabilizing the mood of the crowd, Yuan Benshan warmly took Guan Qiaoqiao to sit down at the table.

Since she was unable to kill Guan Qiaoqiao with a single blow, it was imperative to stabilize Guan Qiaoqiao, lest she get excited and betray the secret between the two of them.

Gan Yu went to Chi Xiaochi, who had been left behind, and gentlemanly took him by the hand, found a soft chair, helped him to sit down, and seated himself at his side.

Guan Qiaoqiao's mental state was now in question, fidgeting with the ubiquitous sight of her, impatiently tearing at the dry, cracked, puffy skin on her lips with her fingernails.

As soon as he sits down, Chi Xiaochi offers a point of thought, "Let's take a look at the script first. After all, the key point of this mission is not the photos, but the movie."

With a single word, everyone woke up from the cloud of suspicion of "photo murder".

The fact that something happened before the shooting even started caused everyone's focus to shift to the idea that the photos were the biggest hazard, to the point where almost everyone was secretly thinking about covering up the photos in their rooms with cloth or just throwing them out later.

But Chi Xiaochi's words speak directly to why Guan Qiaoqiao is being targeted.

There are seven main characters in the play, four men, two women and one ghost.

The dreadlocked man plays the main character, a flamboyant, flirtatious little tramp.

The main female character is played by a kinda pretty ponytailed girl, formerly a delinquent girl in the daytime, now golden, yet still not willing to be lonely, hooking up with an old flame at a class reunion.

Yuan Benshan plays the old flame, the other identity is the male lead's opponent, according to the setting is a quite righteous man, but from the lines and its actual performance, its level of barbs is more prominent, do not quarrel will not talk.

A tall, strong woman who must be about six-foot-eight or so is in charge of playing the heroine's best friend, and she carries on the usual honorable tradition of best friends in almost every teenage pain movie, sleeping with her best friend's man, and getting all gooey and tangled up with the hero.

Male co-star number one, the hero's young follower, is played by a freckled college student look-alike with a crush on the heroine.

The second male counterpart is Chi Xiaochi, or Song Chunyang, who is set to be the son of the male supervisor's family, who has always been dependent on the male lead to please him, and is the cause of the whole haunting incident.

After taking stock, it becomes obvious why Guan Qiaoqiao was chosen by the ghost.

...... She plays the role of Song Chunyang's girlfriend, the "female ghost" who commits suicide after being raped by the main character.

She is the first character to die in the script and the only one to die.

If she was chosen by the female ghost because of her role, then this calamity for her could have actually been completely avoided.

As long as she discovers the oddity of the photos in her room, it will not be difficult for her to realize that something is wrong with her role, and then she can successfully divert the trouble by exchanging the scripts with someone else.

After all, her scenes are simple, and full of them, they only take up three scenes in the memory kill.

Everyone wants their role to be lighter, and the chances of being "out of character" will be reduced accordingly.

If any of the unlucky ones agreed to the exchange, then she would be able to get out in one piece easily.

But the current situation is that the female ghost has already set its sights on Guan Qiaoqiao and has begun a spiritual infiltration, and once the infiltration begins, it will be difficult to save the gods and goddesses.

...... But who is willing to wait to die.

Guan Qiaoqiao became agitated once again, and she looked at the people in the room pleadingly, "Anyone, anyone at all, go with me to the director and change the script, okay?"

No one's talking.

...... Who doesn't have some desire to survive?

Guan Qiaoqiao immediately and out of habit turned to her saving grace, "Chunyang ......"

Chi Xiaochi held her hand, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry, Lao Yuan and I will find a way for you."

But Guan Qiaoqiao wrapped around him like an octopus and refused to let go, "Chunyang, switch roles with me, okay? At that time, if she comes back to you, we'll switch back again, switch back and forth, maybe this is the way to get through."

Her grip tightened and Chi Xiaochi sucked in a hissing breath as her sharp nails pinched into her flesh.

But the next moment, Guan Qiaoqiao wailed.

Gan Yu gripped her right shoulder from behind, and the sound of the bones in the joint clicking made Chi Xiaochi's teeth sink.

But his tone was still one of peace, "Miss, please let go, calm down, don't be like this."

Chi Xiaochi : Yes, yes, yes, hardcore cool.

The freckled college student is a straight-talking, a mouthful of northeastern ballast, apparently scoffed at Guan Qiaoqiao's proposal, turned to the tall woman beside him and said: "This person is quite sharp. If the roles are changed, the ghosts are also lured away, and then the people click a put down, refused to change the roles back, do you have a trick?"

Guan Qiaoqiao's little heart was poked and prodded without mercy, and she couldn't help but cover her face and cry, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die--"

The tall, stout woman was a little intolerant and said to Freckles, "You don't say a word."

In life and death situations, human meanness is always more easily tolerated.

Guan Qiaoqiao sobbed for a moment, then choked back her sobs like a frightened cat, shrugged her shoulder blades warily, but did not dare to look up, "She ...... she is looking at me again."

Chi Xiaochi reassured her, "Is it psychological?"

Guan Qiaoqiao dared not look up, stiffened and buried her face in her palm, repeating only the words, "She's looking at me."

She didn't dare close her palms too tightly, leaving herself in complete darkness, the slits in her fingers slightly open, letting in some light.

She gasped nervously as hot breath puffed into her palm and back into her face, giving her the illusion that she was almost suffocating.

Openly, it was as if she saw a pair of emotionless eyes appear between her fingers, looking coldly at her through the gap between her index and middle fingers.

Guan Qiaoqiao let out a heartbreaking scream and rolled right off the chair, unable to move with her weak legs and feet, she could only shiver and crawl toward the door.

Before she could crawl out two steps, she was held down.

She screamed and struggled until she was slapped twice more across the face before she was slapped out of her mind and stared straight ahead with one eye leveled.

She was looking at a picture of the Madonna hanging on the wall of the room.

The demented response really screams headache.

The ponytailed woman realized something, her teeth couldn't help but start shaking, and she took a few steps back, asking, "The ghost ...... is inside this picture right now?"

In the eyes of a normal person, Our Lady's eyes are lowered in the photo, and her gaze is soft and quiet, seemingly with the warmth of a loving mother's heart, which makes people feel relatable when they look at her.

But Guan Qiaoqiao, with tears in his eyes, whispered, "...... Don t you all see?"

She reached out and pointed to the face of the Madonna, "She's staring at me."

Chi Xiaochi looked back as well, the corners of his mouth shivering uncontrollably.

...... No one else can see it, but he can.

The photo shows a statue of the Virgin Mary grinning, revealing rows of beautiful teeth as she gazes at Guan Qiaoqiao.

Her smile arched wide, and a piece of her somewhat discolored lip was eroded away by the wind, revealing her pink upper gums.

Chi Xiaochi huffed backward, "...... Ahhhhhh!!!"

Xi Lou: "...... Scared me to death! What are you screaming at me for?!"

Chi Xiaochi: "Tatsuko hold me tight!"

Xi Lou: "...... hug your head."

Chi Xiaochi : "......" In this cold world of horror, even his new system is unwilling to give him a hint of warmth.

However, in the next instant, Chi Xiaochi's eyes changed again.

The face of that smiling Madonna statue was plastered with a myriad of dog-head emojis, with all the hot-eye parts covered up tight.

Chi Xiaochi: "......" What is this?

He turned his head to look at Guan Qiaoqiao and realized that she was still in shock, proving that the change had only happened to herself, and that the Madonna was still gleeful at her.

Within seconds, Chi Xiaochi realized who had caused the mutation.

In his mind he asked, "Mr. Six, is that you?"

The dog's head brushes off and is replaced by a "funny" smile.

Chi Xiaochi instantly felt the warmth of humanity.

He said fondly, "Ms. Six, I love you."

The emojis covering the statue of the Virgin Mary were replaced with a large golden hair and a small golden hair.

"Daddy loves you too.jpg".

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

The emoji was withdrawn in seconds and replaced in seconds, explaining, "I'm sorry I could only find this emoji in my gallery.jpg"

It took Chi Xiaochi a lot of effort not to burst out laughing.

Gan Yu, who was beside Chi Xiaochi, looked gently at the corner of Chi Xiaochi's mouth and thought, "He shouldn't be afraid anymore.

Guan Qiaoqiao said nothing and refused to stay in the room any longer.

However, she exited the room and recoiled, freaking out even more.

It seemed to her that every pair of eyes in the photographs hanging on either side of the wall were staring back at her.

But Chi Xiaochi is already calm.

...... After all, an eye full of sad frogs and koda ducks just can't call for fear.

Toward the end of the development, the situation became more and more serious, and her spirit had reached the edge of collapse.

Unable to do so, Yuan Benshan and the others half-dragged the paralyzed Guan Qiaoqiao back to her original room.

But when he got to the door, Guan Qiaoqiao refused to go in, screaming, jumping and yelling, and even tried to break the glass of the picture frame in the hallway.

The others were not willing to agree, if they broke the glass and violated some taboo, or if the ghost crawled out, who would be left in the lurch?

Guan Qiaoqiao was held down with seven hands and eight feet, unable to move, but could only let out a wail of grief and fear.

The staff who had already taken a break poked their heads out again to see what was going on.

Seeing the situation getting more and more out of control, the ponytailed woman was so anxious and annoyed that she simply suggested, "If it's not possible, let's just knock it out."

Chi Xiaochi eyeballed the two siblings and called out "Don't", then whispered a few words of explanation to Gan Tang Gan Yu.

The two siblings exchanged glances and went into that room tersely, covered the picture frame hanging on the wall with a cloth, took it off, carried it out of the room, and put it in the corridor outside the room.

This time, Guan Qiaoqiao, who was sent into the room, was much quieter.

She claims no one is looking at her anymore.

The pigtailed man was a bit speechless: "Hoping that after making a mess of this, taking off the photo will be fine."

...... It's certainly not that simple.

This ghost has already set its sights on Guan Qiaoqiao, so how could it change its target so easily.

This approach is nothing more than a cover-up, but it must be tried to see if it works.

Guan Qiaoqiao had always relied on Song Chunyang's yin and yang eyes, and in the world of quests he had almost never used his own brain, and now that he had been shocked, his mind was in chaos, and as soon as he found a peaceful nest, he immediately hugged his head and curled up in it, forcing himself not to think about what would happen tomorrow.

She lay down under the covers, pleading with Chi Xiaochi, "Chunyang, stay with me, okay?"

But when Chi Xiaochi answered, Yuan Benshan took over: "I'll do it."

...... Just kidding, how could he let Guan Qiaoqiao and Song Chunyang be in the same room again?

When she betrayed herself, she didn't tell Song Chunyang about their plan because she still had something to do, but if it was for the sake of survival, how do we know she wouldn't realize her intentions and tell Song Chunyang about what happened in the first place?

Chi Xiaochi immediately showed a worried expression, "Lao Yuan ......"

Yuan Benshan softened his voice, "It's fine, just take care of yourself. But you won't be scared if you sleep alone, right?"

Without waiting for Chi Xiaochi to speak, Gan Yu said gently, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Yuan Benshan: "......" sounds weird.

Gan Yu said, "Nurse Song is my colleague, it's proper for us siblings to take care of our colleagues."

The tone was too thunderous, making Yuan Benshan feel more and more bad.

Seeing that Guan Qiaoqiao had stopped making a fuss, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Guan Qiaoqiao, Yuan Benshan and Chi Xiaochi, while the Gan siblings waited at the door of the room for Chi Xiaochi to come out.

Guan Qiaoqiao After making this mess, he was more tired than anyone else and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Chi Xiaochi was still playing the role of a competent little boyfriend, "Old Yuan, are you really okay on your own?"

Yuan Benshan shook his head and, in a caring gesture, asked, "Will that really make Qiaoqiao okay."

Chi Xiaochi whispered, "...... Drinking hemlock is just a thirst quencher. Lao Yuan, I am worried about you, I am afraid that you will also follow Qiaoqiao to be victimized."

Having reaffirmed his importance in Song Chunyang's mind, Yuan Benshan's vanity was greatly satisfied.

He stroked his soft hair and said, "I'll be careful. But you be careful too ......"

With that, he looked to the door, "I always thought that coworker of yours was a bit scheming on you."

Chi Xiaochi narrowed her eyes and gave an innocent smile, "They don't know about me having yin and yang eyes, besides, Dr. Gan and Ms. Gan are good people."

Yuan Benshan wanted to say, "What the hell, who isn't a good person in your eyes," but he swallowed his words.

At present, his biggest trouble is Guan Qiaoqiao, first pacify her, then he will have the heart to care about Song Chunyang.

If he couldn't be placated, then he'd settle for her.

But Yuan Benshan didn't want to do it himself.

He simply hit the ground and slept under the Guan Qiaoqiao bed.

He wasn't going to sleep tonight.

If that female ghost was going to strike this night, he would have escaped the room in time.

After an uneventful night, Yuan Benshan, who was suffering from back pain due to the hard floor, could not bear it anymore and finally fell asleep at 4:00 or 5:00 pm.

Within an hour, he jumped straight up at a sharp scream, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Guan Qiaoqiao had rolled off the bed and was crawling toward him, her face swollen horribly from several slaps, and her expression of horror shifted and distorted her features.

She cried, "She's looking at me from inside the covers-"

Yuan Benshan jumped up instantly and looked over at her bed.

There was a four-sided object in the messy bedding.

Even though he had a feeling about it, Yuan Benshan couldn't help but take a breath when he lifted the covers.

The picture of "Returning home in the wind and snow" had entered her quilt at some point, and there was already a palm-sized figure in the picture, walking step by step towards her "home" from the wind and snow.
