If Director Gu had only encountered an ordinary minor danger, Mingyue would have pretended not to know and just regarded it as a lesson for him.
But... it happened to coincide with the blood mist hexagram.
Mingyue sighed in her heart, and without disturbing anyone else, she quietly got up and left the bamboo house.
However, the program team’s surveillance became a problem again. Mingyue’s body did not have any special abilities that could instantly detect the locations of all surveillance cameras.
She could have figured them out one by one, but Director Gu's situation wouldn't allow her to delay any longer.
Mingyue smiled bitterly. She might scare the staff of the program team.
And the subsequent development will be a bit troublesome, and may even cause trouble to the special departments, unless there is a turnaround...
Oh, never mind, let’s just take it one step at a time!
Mingyue kept fiddling with three copper coins in her hand while walking down the mountain.
At this time, the moon was covered by thick clouds, and the entire Fengming Mountain was plunged into darkness. There was no sound of any living creature on the mountain, and even the wind seemed to have stopped. The silence was eerie.
It is not easy to walk on the road at night, especially when it is very dark. There are too many forks in the road. Director Gu has long lost track of which road is the right one.
At first he went down the mountain impulsively because of his anger, but now he didn't know the way back, and he didn't know the way down the mountain either. He had no choice but to give up and walk down based on his memory.
Of course, the biggest reason why he chose to continue moving forward was that he couldn't let go of his pride.
"What bad luck! What kind of weather is this today? Why is it so dark? I can't even use a compass. Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have learned from that monkey and chosen a headlamp." Director Gu muttered, trying to recall in his mind: Which fork did I take today? Oh, which fork is this now
But no matter how much he thought about it, his mind was a mess. This mountain was too winding and there were too many forks in the road. He simply couldn't remember so many things.
The further he walked, the angrier he became, and his heart felt like it was burning with a blazing flame that could burst out at any moment.
Some people blame themselves when they are angry, while others like to vent their anger on others. Director Gu is the latter.
When Director Gu was walking down the stairs, his foot slipped and he fell down the slope. He could no longer suppress his anger and cursed, "You rely on your little tricks to not follow the rules of the circle. You don't know how to respect your predecessors and don't know how to go down the stairs. You are just a jumping clown. No wonder you haven't become popular in all these years. You will be forgotten sooner or later if you leave this show."
At this moment, he had long forgotten that he had previously believed that Mingyue would become famous sooner or later, and he had even planned to establish a good relationship with her.
Although Director Gu did not mention anyone by name, it was obvious who he was talking about.
At this time, Director Zhang, who was standing in front of the screen, shook his head. Although he could not see the expression on Director Gu's face due to the weather, Director Gu's voice was very clear.
Director Zhang looked down on his colleague's behavior and sneered, "Gu Kexing is really ungraceful!"
One staff member asked, "Director Zhang, should we send someone to pick up Director Gu? If he gets into any danger, it won't have a big impact on our production team, right?"
Director Zhang raised his chin towards another split screen and said, "Look, someone has already gone to the United States to rescue the bears."
However, Director Zhang couldn't help but touch his chin, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. How did Qin Mingyue know that Gu Kexing had gone down the mountain? He was sure that Qin Mingyue didn't notice anything when Gu Kexing left, not to mention that it had been so long? She went down the mountain directly, as if she had predicted the future. It was really strange.
But Director Zhang soon shook his head again, forget it, who cares! This segment can be edited and posted online as a behind-the-scenes video, just to give Qin Mingyue some face.
After all, his cousin said that he planned to train Qin Mingyue to be the number one lady in Huating, so it would be a good idea for him to make friends with her in advance. Who knows, he might be able to invite her as a special guest in the future.
As for this old fellow Gu Kexing, he is becoming more and more confused as he gets older. Fortunately, he agreed to let him join the program crew and wanted to give him a hand. Now it seems that this old fellow is really of no use and the more he helps, the more hatred he will have.
Director Zhang complained in his heart and couldn't help yawning. When he looked at the time, he realized that it was almost eleven o'clock.
He stood up and said to the staff beside him: "Just keep an eye on it. I'll be back soon. If you have any questions, please call me."
The staff naturally agreed to it. This is how things work in their line of work. Staying up all night is a common occurrence. After all, the salary is high and the benefits are good. Besides, there will be people to take over their shifts when the time comes.
Director Zhang went back to sleep, while the other staff members continued to stare at the screen.
Director Gu finally found a familiar place in the long dark night.
Although the vines here were gone and only a large oblong stone was left, Director Gu still remembered where this was immediately.
This was the vine field where Qin Mingyue became famous. The anger that he had been suppressing for a long time, the stinging soles of his feet from blisters, the panic of walking in the dark, and the palms of his hands that were rubbed raw from falling three times, all burst out at this moment.
He seemed to think that the stone was a person, and he kicked it hard, one kick after another, cursing as he kicked: "I let you show off, I let you not know the rules, I let you insult others, I let you not appreciate my dignity..."
The resentment in his heart had been pent up for a long time, and now it all turned into action without reservation.
However, in the dark night, with his chest filled with anger, Director Gu did not notice that the lines on the stone under his feet were slowly shaking, and the movement gradually grew larger.
He kept moving his feet and still cursed: "You will be an unknown in this life, and you will never be famous..."
At this moment, a huge roar suddenly sounded not far away, and the wrong mountain road suddenly collapsed. The whole mountain began to shake violently as if a major earthquake had occurred.
Director Gu quickly held onto the big rock in front of him, still a little confused. Was this an earthquake
The clouds covering the moon were blown away by a gust of wind, and the moonlight finally shone on the earth. Director Gu raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound, but what he saw was a red eye as big as his head.
The red eyeball was on the big rock he was holding onto, and was exactly parallel to his line of sight. Since the rock was dark blue with some texture, it made the red eyeball stand out even more, and even the texture in the vertical pupil could be seen clearly.
Director Gu's face turned pale instantly, his eyes widened. He almost subconsciously took two steps back. His legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand. His whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
But even so, he could feel his teeth chattering. He clenched his fists in panic, and his fingers dug into the flesh of his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out: "Monster, monster, help me..."
