Lan Tianyou was helped to the side to rest. Fortunately, the red mark was just a fleeting pain. After icing it for a while, it went away.

But this bizarre incident still shocked many people, so much so that the way many people looked at Nan Xiangwan began to seem odd.

Gu Beihuai gave a scientific explanation. The principle was simple: it was just the wind.

When Nan Xiangwan drew her sword at a certain speed, it would create a gust of wind. When the power and speed of the wind reached a certain level, it would take on the shape of a blade and have so killing power.

But not only did people not listen, they even started joking around.

"Did you hear? Nan Xiangwan is cultivating immortality!"

"Really? Is it the kind of cultivating immortality I know about?"

"Really! Soone saw it with their own eyes. She was flying on her sword and then crossing the heavenly tribulation!"

"What the hell..."

At first it was only spread within the crew, but as the rumor spread, the whole Science Fiction City began to spread it!

Feng Kaiji ca back the next day.

He had it bad too. A group of people ganged up on him and beat him. Not only was he thrown into jail, but he was also the one who started the fight.

So he got a good lecture!

When Feng Kaiji ca back, he was still injured and in a terrible mood, feeling wronged.

The neighboring crew was just too inhumane!

A whole group of them beat up him alone, and then they falsely accused him first!

Damn it!

Feng Kaiji was so angry that he almost wanted to tear the neighboring crew apart with his bare hands.

As he hurried to the crew, still fuming, people kept greeting him along the way.

"Morning, Director Feng! Your crew with the immortal cultivator is aweso!"

"Director Feng, is your crew's immortal cultivator there?"

"Director Feng, is your crew open for visitors today? I want to see the immortal cultivator."

"Director Feng! Is Nan Xiangwan crossing another tribulation today?"

Feng Kaiji: "???"

What the hell? What immortal cultivator? What crossing tribulations?

Feng Kaiji returned to the crew in complete bewildernt, only to find that Nan Xiangwan and the other actors had already changed and were in makeup.

It seed as if his presence as the director didn't matter at all, since they would just continue shooting on their own.

But as soon as he got back, he heard people saying that mbers of the neighboring crew had co again!

Feng Kaiji was so angry at this point that he charged out alone with weapon in hand.

But at the door he bumped into Tan Shen.

Tan Shen was carrying a basket of fruit, coming over to apologize: "I'm sorry, Director Feng. I was the one trying to poach people yesterday. But I wasn't trying to poach any technical staff. I was just looking for a couple of assistants since my assistant quit."

There is a saying, "A smiling face often spares one a fist," so facing the basket of fruit, Feng Kaiji didn't know what to say.

After Tan Shen said a couple more things, he left without any strange behavior.

Feng Kaiji grabbed the fruit and took it back into the crew, casually putting it on a table.

On Tuesday, the official trailer and vlog for “Horror Escape Room” were released.

The fans had long been ready, guarding and rushing in to watch as soon as it dropped, then furiously typing “666.”

Because the variety show had beco so popular, the escape room was not demolished after filming wrapped, but instead open to the public and beca a hot spot for fans and various internet celebrities to check-in.

After filming for the third season finished, the audience who had watched the livestream were very curious, and the bold ones had already started organizing check-in groups.

Internet celebrity Wu Ye was a loyal enthusiast of escape rooms, so a place like this was naturally not to be missed. After watching the livestream that day, he imdiately flew to Shanghai, found the old house that was used as the filming location for the show.

There were security guards at the entrance, and quite a few people were lining up to go inside and play.

After asking the staff, Wu Ye got permission to livestream. He imdiately started his livestream, introducing today’s exploration the to his fans, while touring the old house.

Right after he finished walking through the first room and ca to the courtyard, there was a crowd of people gathered around the well.

Wu Ye spoke to the cara, “Co co co! Let’s go take a look at that well, the one Nan Xiangwan was always thinking about, haha!”

After speaking, he lifted up his livestreaming equipnt and squeezed into the crowd. But there were simply too many people, bumping into each other, making the footage shaky.

Then suddenly—crack!

His phone dropped down, falling straight into the well!

Wu Ye: “......”

Soone next to him quickly apologized: “I’m so sorry, I didn’t an to. How much did that phone cost? I’ll pay you back for it!”

Wu Ye: “My phone is waterproof, but it still needs fishing out.”

At this point, he was strangely calm.

The people around him imdiately started shouting for the staff, saying the phone fell into the well and to quickly get it out!

Just then, soone next to them suddenly spoke: “Wu Ye, are you livestrear Wu Ye?”

Wu Ye quickly nodded: “Yes yes, I was livestreaming and sohow my phone fell into the well.”

The person next to exclaid: “Hurry look at your livestream! So scary! It’s filming the bottom of the well!”

Wu Ye: “What’s going on? It’s still filming? Is the waterproof capability of this phone that good?”

The person: “Ah! There’s a corpse, ahhhh!”

Imdiately, everyone pulled out their phones and opened Wu Ye’s livestream to watch.

The phone quality was quite good. Even after falling to the bottom of the well, it was still filming.

And it easily captured the image at the bottom of the well—a person tied up with rope, weighted down by large rocks, sinking them to the bottom of the well.

Wu Ye was scared white. Damn it!

Nan Xiangwan’s words really ca true? How could this be!

The staff swiftly called the police. Not long after, the police arrived and sealed off the scene.

Wu Ye and the other sightseeing visitors did not imdiately leave, but instead lingered by the entrance waiting for news.

Was what was at the bottom of the well really a corpse? How long had they been dead? Who was it?

Was it related to “Horror Escape Room”?

Not long after, a panicking Hua Yuanwu rushed over after hearing the news. He was so frightened that he couldn’t even walk steadily.

There really was a corpse at the bottom of the well!

How could they just be filming a variety show, and it turned into a cri scene?

What followed next was questioning, investigating, etc.

But because the earlier livestream footage had already spread online, the internet had now exploded.

The incident of a corpse being discovered at the bottom of a well at the old house filming location of “Horror Escape Room” imdiately shot up to trending hot search topics!

At the sa ti, Nan Xiangwan's vlog also made it into the hot searches.

This was very horrifying.

............

Little brick Chen Yaoyao finished her day at school and returned ho. Strange, her parents weren't ho today?

But that worked out perfectly. Now she could go online, hehe!

As soon as she opened Weibo on her phone, there were two trending topics related to her Morning Treasure.

She eagerly clicked in, feet swinging on the couch, accompanied by her two little braided pigtails bobbing up and down.

But as she kept reading, Chen Yaoyao’s expression grew pale, eyes fixed on the screen!

Most of the disturbing livestream photo had been censored, but the posts had an uncensored photo provided by the police for identification purposes when consulting the public for the identity of the deceased.

And it was this photo that made Chen Yaoyao burst into tears instantly.

“Brother!”

She shouted at the screen, her phone dropped onto the sofa as she tilted her head back and sobbed out loud.

That was her brother!

Her phone, still on the sofa, was playing the video. It was an excerpt from a follow-up interview that had just been posted a few minutes ago.

The cara was at the drama set, with a police car off to the side.

......

Tan Shen: "Yes, he was my assistant and resigned a couple days ago."

Tan Shen: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this... I can only offer my condolences!"

Tan Shen: "The reason for resignation? I guess he was disappointed in . Because of the previous incident... But I didn't think sothing like this would happen. If I had known earlier, I definitely would have asked him to stay a few more days!"

......

The police moved swiftly, finding out the identity of the deceased and imdiately locating Tan Shen.

The deceased was Tan Shen's previous assistant, Xiao Chen.

The police questioned and took statents objectively.

Afterwards, they also separately found a few celebrity guests from the show “Horror Escape Room” and similarly had so questions to ask. Particularly Nan Xiangwan—she had said many tis on the show that there was a problem with that well and it warranted investigating!

The reporters moved quickly as well. This incident had too large of a social impact, and was too explosive, so as soon as the police finished questioning, the reporters arrived at the drama set to conduct interviews.

Tan Shen was the first to be interviewed. At that ti while he was being interviewed, Nan Xiangwan was still in the police car being questioned.
