September was in the midst of scorching heat, and the closer it got to noon, the hotter the sun beca.
Inside the car, it was hardly noticeable, but the mont she touched the window, it was a blast of fiery heat.
He Jinxia couldn’t help saying, "I hope there are no outdoor activities later, this weather is too harsh."
Ouyang Baoer gave a definite answer, "Don’t worry, they said it’s in the supermarket, so it can only be inside the supermarket where there’s air conditioning blowing, so it should be okay."
The director checked the ti and noted that they were still several minutes away from their destination, so he briefly explained the rules inside the car.
"The production team has already inford the supermarket in advance. The supermarket will restrict traffic today, not many custors will enter, and the shopkeepers have been notified; you will head to the supermarket first to solve lunch."
"In the afternoon, when the ti cos, you will be separated, your eyes will be covered with cloth, and when the ti is up, you can remove the cloth strip and then start hiding."
Ouyang Baoer couldn’t help but ask curiously, "So what mode will we activate in the afternoon?"
The director smiled but remained silent, "You will find out in the afternoon."
Seeing that the production team was tight-lipped and refused to reveal more, Ouyang Baoer pouted her lips and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
***
At two in the afternoon, the filming officially began.
All five celebrities were blindfolded, and the staff led them to various corners of the supermarket.
A survival blockbuster where heroes compete was about to erupt.
He Jinxia’s eyes were covered, and she was led by a staff mber to a certain place to wait.
After standing there for about ten minutes, she started feeling uneasy. She reached out to feel her surroundings, trying to sense where she might be.
It was hard and rough, seemingly so kind of texture. She knocked on it, producing no sound, quite solid.
Continuing to feel around, it wasn’t long before she touched another area, its texture completely different from the rest, smooth and shiny, producing so sounds when she knocked.
He Jinxia frowned, feeling like it was a door.
Could it be that she was trapped in a small space?
Suddenly, a tapping noise caught her attention.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock..."
Soone else was knocking on a door!
He Jinxia’s heart skipped a beat, and she imdiately dropped her hand, not daring to move haphazardly.
After a while, a man’s voice murmured, "Where exactly is this?"
He Jinxia’s eyes widened slightly; it was Ren Xiao’s voice!
At that mont, the wireless earpiece she was wearing transmitted a flat chanical sound: "3, 2, 1, beep—’Find the Real Culprit’ mode officially begins! Congratulations on successfully finding the real victim in the last round and limiting the perpetrator."
"The victim has been confird, but who is the real culprit? Utilize your intellect to find them, and let the true perpetrator be punished. Ignite your passion, youth!"
As soon as the voice stopped, He Jinxia quickly tore off the black cloth covering her face.
After adjusting to the light, the surroundings ca into view, and she realized where she was—it was actually a restroom!
"Click," a sound ca from next door, signaling a door being opened.
Before long, Ren Xiao’s voice, even more amplified, ca through, almost breaking down, "Oh my god, I’m actually in the ladies’ restroom!"
"Why did they put in a place like this? It’s so terrifying..." Ren Xiao’s voice grew fainter, and soon, it was no longer audible.
Clearly, the won’s restroom was too much for him to handle.
He Jinxia looked up and saw a cara hanging in a corner of the ceiling, and couldn’t help but say,
"The victim is Ouyang Baoer. Staying close to her is the safest, she definitely isn’t the murderer, while everyone else is suspect, especially Ren Xiao and Lin Qingzhu."
A sly glint passed through He Jinxia’s eyes as she said, "I’ll wait here for a bit, wait until Ren Xiao has walked far away before going out."
While waiting, she opened her task card, on which was written a large "Male".
The production team wouldn’t let them just guess wildly among themselves. Each person had a task card, and each card bore a single character. Collecting five cards would reveal a sentence.
And that sentence would reveal the true identity of the murderer.
He Jinxia frowned and muttered to herself, "Wang Tao, Lin Qingzhu, and Ren Xiao are all n, but which one is it..."
Elsewhere, Ouyang Baoer walked out of the clothing store where she had been placed among the display mannequins, the black cloth removed from her eyes left her entirely disoriented for a while before she recovered.
In her hand, she held a card with the large character "Drift".
"Drift, bleaching, beauty, migrant... what does this all an?"
Ouyang Baoer furrowed her brows, walking and thinking, "If the word following is ’beauty,’ it might describe a girl? Only Jinxia and I are won, but if she were the murderer, she wouldn’t have actively identified the victim in the last round!"
At this mont, Ouyang Baoer demonstrated an intelligence unlike before.
She stared at the cara following her and said very seriously, "My heart tells , Sister Jinxia absolutely, absolutely is not the murderer. This ’drift’ has another mystery."
Great, she again pushed it all towards spiritual guidance.
It seed Ouyang Baoer would need to add a new persona in the show: professional mystic.
"Hmm, hmm-hmm, da, dala..." Having temporarily resolved her doubts, Ouyang Baoer cheerfully humd and shimmied along without hiding her footsteps.
Before long, Wang Tao, walking along, spotted her. He initially dodged to the side, then realized sothing, saying to the cara,
"Hey, I’m being silly, what am I hiding from? I’m not the murderer, why should I hide? Besides, if anyone here is the murderer, it can’t be Ouyang Baoer; she was the victim last round!"
After speaking, Wang Tao imdiately ran out, shouting, "Baoer!"
Ouyang Baoer, hearing the sound, briefly stunned, then turned her head and saw Wang Tao running towards her. A pang of nervousness hit her, and she too started running, trying to avoid Wang Tao.
Wang Tao had intended to cheerfully reunite with Ouyang Baoer, but seeing her running as well, the smile gradually faded from his face.
Wang Tao slowed his pace and called out, "Hey, Baoer, why are you running? I’m not the murderer, Baoer, stop, let’s get together!"
Seeing Ouyang Baoer still running forward, Wang Tao had no choice but to run after her, shouting as he ran, "Baoer, I’m not the murderer, I really am not the murderer, stop, I ca to get together with you!"
Ouyang Baoer, while running and panting, replied, "You think I’m stupid? Who would admit they are the murderer to my face? Nobody here would confess to being the murderer!"
Behind her, Wang Tao continued to shout, "I’ll show you the card, I really am not the murderer, believe !"
At that mont, Ouyang Baoer chose to trust her instincts, "Wang Tao started chasing after seeing , definitely sothing fishy, he could very well be the murderer trying to kill , damn, it only just occurred to now that the murderer can only kill , the victim, I should be hiding, once the murderer kills , the ga is over."
"Wait, this ga has a bug, if the murderer kills , and the rest aren’t dead yet, how would we continue playing?" Ouyang Baoer, out of breath, asked the cara.
