Tang Ye had hit the nail on the head, but Bai Rong pretended not to hear him. She remained in Zhou Die’s arms as she trembled, and did not speak again.
Because of Tang Ye’s words, the atmosphere had become a little awkward.
Chen Luo quickly opened his mouth to speak up for Bai Rong, “This place is so scary. It’s not surprising that a girl like Miss Bai would definitely be scared. However, with the program team watching, nothing would really happen to Miss Fang. Well, in order to leave this place as soon as possible, let’s hurry up and check out this hospital.
“Everyone, there’s no need to be too afraid. After all, we’re only filming a show so nothing will really happen to us.”
With Chen Luo bringing some positivity to the atmosphere, the guests finally relaxed a little. He was right. Since there was no safety issue, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Everyone continued to walk forward to check each of the rooms one by one.
After they left, Fang Mo’er walked out of the bathroom that had been next to them. She held a sledgehammer in her hand, which she had paired with a scary headgear. This made her really look like a perverted ghost.
She quietly followed behind the crowd and kept a certain distance from the people in front of her so that they would not notice her.
According to the rules of the game, as long as she managed to touch someone who was alone, they would be turned into ghosts.
Even if they did not have the chance to touch them during the day, they would still have a chance at night.
Although there were many of them at the moment, they would have to be separated into smaller groups at night. Brother Fatty and Bai Rong would both be alone. Brother Fatty would not be easy to catch, but Bai Rong seemed like an easy catch.
The whole group checked out the entire hospital, but they did not find any traces of ghosts or any clues.
They did come across the props room at the end of the corridor, but because the door was locked, they gave up after pushing it a few times.
They figured that had to be some special reason that the room was locked. Moreover, the program team would not have locked up the clues, so they gave up without thinking too much about it.
Feeling a little anxious, Bai Rong asked, “What is the clue exactly? Did the program team tell you what it was? You have to hurry up and find it. We can’t go out during the day, and we have to stay here for the night. But, I really don’t want to stay here any longer.”
Bai Rong felt very aggrieved. According to her previous status, when would she have ever participated in this kind of variety show? However, she was now working for Mu Chen, so she had to listen to Mu Chen’s instructions. If she left during the recording of the show, she would have to pay a penalty.
She did not have that much money now, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it. If it had been an ordinary haunted house, it would have been okay. It was not like she had not been to one before. The props inside would usually all be of inferior quality. At a glance, it was usually obvious that these things were fake. Even when many things were set up, they were not that scary.
However, this was a real abandoned hospital. Although there were not any scary props like the ones in the usual haunted houses, the eerie fear that came from the bottom of one’s heart was even more serious. Who knew how many people had died here in the past? Whether the bloodstains on the walls and the ground were real or fake, she still had to carefully avoid them every time.
Bai Rong was scared out of her wits and the tone of her voice was not very good.
Brother Fatty frowned as he looked at her. He looked a little unhappy, but he did not say anything.
However, Tang Ye said calmly, “The clue should be the same as before. It’s a palm-sized card with the program team’s logo on the back. The program team won’t hide it that well. Let’s split up and search one room at a time. It’ll be faster this way. After we find the clue, we’ll go and catch the main ghost.”
When Bai Rong heard that they would be splitting up, she immediately became anxious. She stopped them and said, “Didn’t you say that we wouldn’t be caught by a ghost if we stayed together? Wouldn’t it be over for us if we split up? It’d be so much safer if we searched together!”
Zhou Die said softly, “I… I think that what she said makes sense. It’s best for us to be together.”
Tang Ye said, “It’ll be fine as long as we can guarantee that there are at least two people in each group. Even if we don’t split up now, we’ll still have to split up at night anyway.”
Bai Rong took a step back and looked at Tang Ye. With an extremely ugly expression, she asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Tang Ye suddenly smiled. This was the first time he had smiled since the start of his participation in the program. Surprisingly, it made him look very attractive and his fierce aura weakened quite a bit.
Although it made him look a little more gentle, the words he said shocked Bai Rong. “The reason why the program team assigned us to groups was because they were afraid that we would huddle together and there wouldn’t be anything interesting to watch. Thus, they added a restriction. At night, we can only have smaller groups of people. The three groups will be separated into three rooms.”
Initially, Bai Rong had thought that she would finally have a teammate, so she did not have to be so afraid anymore. However, Tang Ye’s words were like a blow to the head.
Xiao Ke and Fang Mo’er, who had been in the same group as her, had already disappeared. She was the only one left, so she would have to spend the night alone!
Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Zhou Die was quick enough to catch hold of her.
