32. Haunted house
Feeling that he had slept for a long time, Tong Yu opened his eyes, and in front of him was still Li Man and Ah Wei replying to the mobile phone WeChat, Ai Xin sat in the driver's seat, leaning against the car window and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Haven't you started yet?" Tong Yu looked at his watch, he had been asleep for more than two hours.
"It's coming. Ai Xin, who was in front of her, answered with her eyes closed, and replied quickly like a robot, "Because the night shooting is mainly the haunted house, you need to try several times in advance for safety and shooting, so please Teacher Tong is waiting here." Do you want to eat fruit?"
"No, I don't. Tong Yu replied, but it was difficult for Ah Wei and Li Man to say anything because of him. In the afternoon, he also said that he didn't need to go back to the hotel to rest, just in the car, but he didn't expect Li Man to be so eyeless, and he and Ah Wei stayed in the car all the time.
"Well, I just sent a WeChat message to the producer, and there are about 40 minutes left. Li Man took the mobile phone and glanced at it, reassuring Tong Yu.
"I'm sorry. Ai Xin turned around and apologized to Tong Yu and Li Man, and took out his mobile phone to confirm again, "It's going to be done over there immediately." β
"It's fine. Tong Yu was not angry at all, and he was embarrassed to see Li Man and Ai Xin taking turns coaxing him.
"Hey, oh, okay, I'll drive over now. Ai Xin answered the phone, turned his head to say hello to Li Man, and started the car and drove outside the haunted house.
Tong Yu looked out the window, it was a three-story castle-like building, which looked a lot like the scene in "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle".
Ai Xin accompanied Tong Yu and Ah Wei out of the car, although she was ready, but now she couldn't help but get nervous.
When the tour guide saw them, he came over and introduced the building: "It is said to be a haunted house, but it is actually a manor that has been abandoned for many years. In recent years, the momentum of tourism in this place has been getting better and better, so it was bought by the developer and set up as a place to play, a bit like a domestic escape room, tourists need to find the necessary props and hints in the ancient castle, and finally open the attic door to get the key, you can come out. β
"Understood. Tong Yu nodded, looking at Ai Xin who was speechless next to him, "Can you?"
"Hmm. Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded, his eyes still focused on the strange house.
"Teacher Tong, this is the answer to where all the props are and the hints. The director's assistant took the printed materials and sent them to Tong Yu and checked them one by one, "Because of the filming needs, the NPCs in the castle will still appear, but we will try to reduce the degree of this fright." Do you have any questions?"
"Nope. Tong Yu took the "cheat sheet" and shook his head, "Can you give me some time to prepare?"
"Ahh Fortunately, Tong Yu didn't look angry at all, he hurriedly retreated far away, so as not to provoke him.
Tong Yu watched the staff around him walk away, then turned to look at Ai Xin, and lowered his voice: "You will follow me after you go in, it shouldn't take too long." β
"Hmm......" Ai Xin nodded blankly, still recalling what the director's assistant had just said. What kind of escape room, if there is an NPC suddenly appearing, what is the difference between it and a haunted house! Ai Xin recalled the painful experience in college, fortunately, fortunately, he was going to play a timid character......
"I'm almost. Tong Yu put away the paper with the answer written on it, and told the guide that he was ready.
"Okay, after you go in, there will be two VJs with you, just Teacher Tong and Teacher Ai. Liu Chang smiled and turned back to the monitor.
"Are you ready?" Tong Yu turned to the side and asked Ai Xin in a low voice.
"Alright. Ai Xin responded, but felt that his throat was dry.
"Hello-" Tong Yu knocked on the heavy gate a few times according to the rules of the ancient castle, and the gate opened, and a strange and deep man's voice came from inside: "Welcome."
Tong Yu took Ai Xin and VJ into the ancient castle, and as soon as he walked in a few steps, the door closed automatically, making a loud noise, and Ai Xin's whole body stiffened.
"Who are you?" the voice asked again.
βGuests.β Tong Yu also responded loudly.
"Huh, huh, huh!" the voice laughed, and never said again.
Tong Yu followed the faint light source and saw a shelf that looked like a music stand, on which was a thick book, he opened the first page and blew the dust, and the English on it was revealed.
After reading for about a few seconds, Tong Yu turned to the camera: "It turns out that the key is locked in the attic, and the door to the attic can only be opened if you crack the prompt and find the props." After speaking, he took Ai Xin and prepared to go upstairs.
"Wow-hahahaha......" As soon as the two of them walked up a few stairs, an oversized doll, tattered and covered with red paint, hung in front of Ai Xin with a thin thread, and let out a weird laugh.
"Ahhhh
"It's okay, it's okay. Tong Yu hurriedly dragged the doll down, tore off a note from behind the doll, threw the doll far away, and squatted down to comfort Ai Xin, "It's just a doll, it's okay." β
"......" Ai Xin relieved himself, because he was too embarrassed and had already blushed, he stood up tremblingly and followed Tong Yu to continue walking upstairs.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Ai acted so well. The colleagues standing in front of the monitor all laughed, Liu Chang looked at the picture seriously, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the two of them completely set up people: one is fuss and timid, the other is calm and gentle, and the effect of the show will be good.
"According to the words written on the note, the scissors should be in the ......" Tong Yu went up to the second floor, looked for a shelf next to the stairs, and saw the wooden box mentioned in the "cheat sheet", but it was empty when it was opened.
"What's wrong?" The sudden silence made Ai Xin very flustered.
"Nothing. Tong Yu shook his head, he thought it was the staff of the castle, but after thinking about it, it should be the film crew who replaced the place where the props were placed for the sake of the show, but he didn't tell himself. Can't let Ai Xin worry, he gritted his teeth and looked at Ai Xin: "You stay here, I'll go to the room to find props." β
"No, no, no, no...... Can't you?" Ai Xin stammered and refused for a long time when he heard that he was going to leave himself alone.
"Alright then, you follow. Tong Yu sighed, turned around and confirmed that the two VJs were following closely behind Ai Xin before turning around and walking towards the row of rooms on the second floor covered with dust and cobwebs.
Ai Xin followed closely behind Tong Yu, and followed him into the first room, fortunately, there was nothing unusual in the room, the VJs followed behind, and Tong Yu rummaged for hints on the bed and cabinet in the room.
Suddenly, Ai Xin felt someone patting her behind her, and was thinking about VJ, shouldn't she be shooting, and when she turned her head, she saw a bloody face facing her.
Ai Xin froze in place, staring at the NPC playing the corpse for several seconds before bursting out into a terrible scream: "Ahh
"F**k away!" Tong Yu turned around when he heard the voice, pushed down the "corpse", and turned around to protect Ai Xin: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all fake." β
"Ah, ah, hmm......" Ai Xin was frightened, instinctively screamed a few times, lowered his head and gasped.
"Remember to cut out this paragraph. Tong Yu suddenly remembered something, and said seriously to the camera, VJ nodded while carrying the machine, probably knowing that swear words could not be broadcast.
"Ai Xin, Ai Xin!" Tong Yu shook her shoulder again, "You look at me." β
"I won't play, I won't play anymore!I really can't do it anymore!" Ai Xin shook his head and looked at Tong Yu in pain.
"Can you talk on the intercom?" Tong Yu looked up at VJ.
VJ nodded, and roughly talked about the current situation according to the intercom, I don't know what the director said in the intercom, VJ responded, and looked at Tong Yu: "Teacher Tong, the director team said that the rest of the props are in the original location, and they will trouble NPCs to appear as little as possible, so that you can get out quickly." β
"Okay. Tong Yu nodded, leaned down to look at Ai Xin, "Can you still stand up?"
Ai Xin calmed down a little, tried it, and slowly stood up with his hands on the ground.
Just took two steps, Tong Yu suddenly turned around and looked at Ai Xin.
"What, what's wrong?" Ai was shocked, she felt that her heart could no longer withstand any emergencies now.
"Wouldn't it be slightly better if you just imagined going to an amusement park with your boyfriend to play a haunted house?" Tong Yu looked at her gently and stretched out his hand, "I'll take you out, right?"
Ai Xin was stunned, and couldn't react for a moment whether this was Tong Yu's sincerity or the show, and looked at VJ hesitantly, but didn't think that VJ nodded. Ai thought to himself, this was probably planned by the director team before. is really to establish Tong Yu's gentle and good boyfriend character, and he does not hesitate to push amateurs to the forefront.
"Are you still scared?" Tong Yu saw that she didn't react, and moved his hand closer again. Isn't it stupid?
"Hmm. Ai Xin nodded, stretched out his hand and grabbed Tong Yu, "Hurry up and get out." β
"Okay, let Mr. VJ go out first. Tong Yu turned around and motioned for VJ to go out of the room first, and as soon as VJ turned around, Tong Yu held Ai Xin's hand tightly in the dark.
Ai Xin felt the strength in his hand, turned his head to look at Tong Yu, Tong Yu smiled, and made a "don't be afraid" mouth shape.
"Hmm. Ai Xin nodded, and also shook the warm hands back in the dark.
