Fifty minutes into the game, the disagreement between Jian Jing and Cao Yu first surfaced. The other people were all very smart and could see the trick, so they all kept silent.
Jian Jing negotiated, "We have to give it a try now that we have a gun. This is the first monster we have encountered, and we have to find out what is going on." She added, "Although we have searched the office, there may be new clues that need to be checked back. It will be troublesome to clean up when the time comes."
Cao Yu said, "Teacher Jian, you didn't encounter it head-on just now. This thing is very fast. We only found a gun and five bullets. It won't last long."
"How about this, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can lure it out again." Jian Jing spoke softly, but with a calm and confident look.
Cao Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons. He was old, so it was okay for him to listen to her when it came to manual labor, but this kind of thing related to the layout was his signature: "Do you want to do this? It's a bit risky."
Coco rolled her eyes and asked, "Teacher Jian, are you sure?"
"Give it a try." Jian Jing arranged, "It's not difficult. Give me the flashlight and the gun. You hide behind the door and one of you can help me open the door."
Having said that, Cao Yu could no longer refute and could only acquiesce.
Jian Jing held the gun in her right hand and the flashlight in her left hand, and held the joint of her right hand under her right wrist, with both hands leaning against each other, very stable. The flashlight she was equipped with was a tactical flashlight, with the switch at the top of the tail, which could be turned on and off with a thumb press.
This is the classic Harris grip, ideal for shooting in low light conditions.
"Open the door." She turned sideways and aimed at the crack in the door.
Jiang Baiyan turned the handle and slowly opened the door.
In the dark environment, there was no movement in the room.
Jian Jing held her breath and suddenly turned on the flashlight. The beam of light shot out suddenly, and within a second, a bloody shadow pounced towards her.
Facing this extremely fast monster head-on, the horror is truly terrifying.
In an instant, my heartbeat was like a drum, but my breathing stopped. What I had to suppress was not only the fear in my heart, but also the instinct of my body.
Jian Jing did not use the aiming card, but only the concentration card, keeping her mind calm and her physiological functions at normal levels.
Then, squeeze the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang, three shots.
After three attempts, the monster was already in sight.
Jiang Baiyan quickly blocked the door.
--
After the broadcast.
The guests on the scene could not see the trace of the bullet, and the light was so weak that they could not see clearly whether it hit the target. But the audience had a God's perspective.
As soon as Jian Jing fired the gun, half of the screen was immediately split and switched to a simulated NPC sensing interface.
Three red dots appeared on the green outline of the monster, two on the torso, and one flew past the head. It couldn't be clearer.
Barrage 1: Awesome! What kind of technology is this?
Barrage 2: Damn, this is actually real, not a holographic online game?
Barrage 3: Wow! What a big deal!!
Barrage 4: All three shots hit the target?
Barrage 5: It’s a pity that there was no headshot
Barrage 6: Anyone who said headshots must have never played this game. It's not that easy to hit the head.
Barrage 7: That’s right, the girl hit two out of three, which is already very impressive. She’s alive!
Barrage 8: It's hard to hit a stationary target, let alone a moving one. The monsters move so fast.
Barrage 9: Low light environment, more difficult
Barrage 10: ... Uh, I was so scared by the professional analysis above that I dare not say anything. Is this a variety show I am familiar with
Barrage 11: Trembling and confused
Barrage 12: So, it’s just that sister is awesome

"It seems I hit it." Jian Jing was not as clear as the audience. She usually practiced in the club, and although her performance was pretty good, this was her first time to practice in "real combat", so she was unsure.
Jiang Baiyan hesitated for a moment, opened the door a little, and lay down at the door to peek inside.
One step away, something made a strange howl.
Only then did he open the door.
Jian Jing turned on the flashlight and shone it on the wriggling pool of rotten meat on the ground. After a moment, she squatted down and poked it. It felt rough and solid. She dug it out and found a piece of iron plate from the meat.
No.: 011
There is a strange pattern on the back.
She took the sign off and threw it into her backpack.
Zheng Keyan opened the cabinet and found a new backpack with a flashlight inside.
Han Bo and Coco searched the doctor's body and found a big key in the pocket of his white coat. It looked like the key to open the iron lock.
They ran out excitedly to try it, and sure enough, they opened the door.
The corridor on the other side of this floor is unlocked.
Things were going smoothly, so everyone was naturally in a good mood. Han Bo had made a fool of himself before, but he was not jealous. Instead, he asked Jian Jing: "Teacher Jian, you shoot very accurately. Have you practiced it?"
Cao Yu also laughed: "Yeah, I couldn't see it at all before."
Jian Jing seemed to be unaware of it, saying, "I learned about it for the sake of writing a book, but I don't quite understand it. The gun is not the same as what I practice with. This gun is heavy and big, and it doesn't fit my hand..." She shook her head and concluded, "I'm lucky this time."
Having said that, others certainly won't just let it go.
Of course, appearing on variety shows is to make money, but it is more than just about making money, it is more about gaining popularity.
Different variety shows have different highlights. Food variety shows show emotional intelligence and cooking skills, travel variety shows show family affection and abilities, and dating shows show conversation and ideas.
For a show like a haunted house, there are two biggest highlights: wisdom and courage.
Cao Yu’s main focus is wisdom, Zheng Keyan’s focus is beauty and hard work—that is, although she is very scared, she is willing to sacrifice for the team. Han Bo’s focus is bravery and responsibility, and Coco seems to be moving towards courage and beauty.
But what about Jian Jing
Being able to reason, fight, and be pretty is a bit too much.
If I can't stand out when I'm with her, then what's the point of having fun
The guests were all aware of the problem, so they all chose to split up.
"This place is too big, let's split up."
"Yes, don't waste too much time."
"There are three flashlights. Let's divide them into three groups."
Teaming up was much faster than expected.
Cao Yu and Coco were already familiar with each other and had a large age difference, so they spontaneously formed a wise and courageous uncle-nephew duo.
Han Bo took the initiative to team up with Zheng Keyan. Firstly, he could not compare with Jian Jing and did not want to be outshined. Secondly, Zheng Keyan was a big star after all and had been a hot topic. The two of them were only five or six years apart in age, so it would only take a few minutes to stir up an sister-brother relationship.
As for Jiang Baiyan, there was no choice and no need to choose, so he just followed Jian Jing.
There were several rows of rooms on both sides of the corridor, all of which were operating rooms, examination rooms, and observation rooms. The other two groups, whether intentionally or unintentionally, walked into the first room on both sides.
Jian Jing and the others were left behind.
"Let's go to the bathroom." She didn't care and turned back to the bathroom next to the office.

After the broadcast.
Barrage 1: What's going on? Divided into three groups? Aren't you afraid of death
Barrage 2: Uh, three pairs of men and women? That's a bit weird.
Barrage 3: Teacher Jian is too jumpy, which is not conducive to team harmony
Barrage 4: Indeed, a team requires division of labor and cooperation, and troublemakers are troublesome
Barrage 5: How do you see the discord? Isn't it normal for the locals to be divided
…

The bathroom smelled terrible.
While exploring the way, Jian Jing held the microphone and asked softly, "Have you thought of this a long time ago?"
Jiang Baiyan whispered to her: "Better safe than sorry."
Jian Jing couldn't help but turned her head and glanced at him.
Jiang Baiyan narrowed his eyes and showed a well-behaved and innocent look.
She shook her head, but she was impressed in her heart.
A few minutes ago, she finally understood Jiang Baiyan's cleverness: Are wisdom and courage the only highlights of a haunted house variety show? No, no, no, there's also cowardice.
When someone wants to perform, someone else has to be a foil. When recording the first episode, Hide and Seek had not yet won an award, and Jiang Baiyan was just a relatively popular male star, and it was difficult for him to compete with other guests.
But instead of being a mediocre person who has no role to play in the drama - see Han Bo in the first episode - it is better to be an impressive coward.
He can bring out the beauty of others, so no one will make things difficult for him. And the best thing is, no matter what the guests will be like in the future, even if they are as good as Jian Jing, he can still be their partner, especially now that no one wants to team up with Jian Jing, he took the initiative to "sacrifice" and also won favorability.
He is timid and afraid of no one. Who would be more timid than him
If he had, he would be a fool, and it would only highlight his bravery - the bravery of a coward is much more valuable than the bravery of a warrior.
This is called the place where there is no defeat.
He is a little clever ghost.
Jiang Baiyan seemed to understand her complaints, and he acted sweeter and more obedient, but his tone was serious: "It seems like there is nothing here."
Under the beam of light, the situation in the bathroom can be seen clearly.
There are three urinals on one side and four squat toilets on the other. The white tiles have turned yellow and the mirror is covered with a layer of dark gray dirt, making it impossible to see the reflection clearly.
There were pieces of meat and blood on the ground, it was extremely disgusting.
Jian Jingyi: "Do you remember the notebook we got?"
"The one about little Helen?" Jiang Baiyan had a good memory.
She said: "Yes, that is a very obvious clue. He has realized that something is wrong with this hospital and will definitely find a way to investigate."
Jiang Baiyan asked: "Why not just record it casually?"
"There's a blue-gold logo on the back of the notebook. It's the police emblem of this state." Jian Jing said, "Also, there's a newspaper clipped on the last page of the notebook. It says that the police received a report that someone was missing, and then there was a factory explosion, and many people were seriously injured. This patient mentioned before that he injured his lungs in the explosion, and his condition might be very serious. Other hospitals can't treat him, so he came here to try his luck."
Jiang Baiyan cooperated perfectly: "He is a policeman."
She nodded: "But there is nothing noteworthy in the ward. It is unreasonable for a suspicious policeman to do so."
"He was afraid that he would be discovered by the doctors and nurses and would be in danger, so he hid everything he found out?" Jiang Baiyan asked, "Why is the notebook still there?"
"The last page is not finished." She prompted, "Think about what's under the bed again."
Jiang Baiyan took a breath of cold air.
Jian Jing pushed open the cubicles and lifted the toilet lids one by one.
No, no, none at all.
Jiang Baiyan was very supportive of her: "The wards will be rummaged through by the nurses, and the office is usually inaccessible. The corridors have locked iron doors. If you want to hide something, the only place is the toilet."
Jian Jing said: "Maybe I guessed wrong."
"Let's find it first." Jiang Baiyan knocked on the wall and finally aimed at the ceiling. "There is an empty space above it."
Jian Jing tried to step on the toilet and stretched out her arm to reach it.
Ten centimeters difference.
Jiang Baiyan hurriedly said: "Come here, I'll do it."
"Be careful, the toilet is a little broken." Jian Jing didn't try to be brave, and warned, "Don't step in the middle, it's empty."
"I've lost 7 or 8 kilograms recently, and I'm less than 100 pounds now. It's okay." Jiang Baiyan was full of confidence. He climbed up swiftly, supported the ceiling with his fingers, and pushed upwards gently.
Jian Jing adjusted the light source and vaguely saw a little outline: "Left."
Jiang Baiyan reached out his hand, touched something with his fingertips, and quickly took it down.
It was a package wrapped with newspaper and plastic film. When I opened it, I was surprised to see that it contained several photos and a pistol.
"Great." Jian Jing was excited and praised him, "good boy."
Jiang Baiyan was stunned for a moment, looked at her, and said slowly: "Teacher Jingjing, you are not a child."
