Jiang Baiyan is often on set filming, and is an expert at staying up late. After negotiating with the production crew last night, he went to sleep in the nanny car. When he woke up, the police had already sealed off the hotel.
The medical examiner cleared eight bodies.
"Another one?" He was confused.
"The boss's body." Jian Jing patted his shoulder, "Don't look at it, it will give you nightmares."
"Oh." Jiang Baiyan was quite obedient and turned to ask, "Did the master find it?"
Jian Jing tried to be modest, but her joy was beyond control: "Well, after searching all night, I finally found it."
"Master, you are so awesome. That's amazing." Compared to his fans, Jiang Baiyan was no less enthusiastic when it came to blowing rainbow farts. "Where is it hidden? It can't be on a wall, right? Have we touched it?"
"No, we didn't find it. It's hidden in an undiscovered basement." Jian Jing comforted him, "But the mechanism is right in front of us."
Jiang Baiyan is a very good listener: "What is it?"
"clock."
Most of the furniture in the hotel had rotted away over time and could not be used, and only a few were left.
In addition to the marbles, she also found an old item that had been preserved from the prop department's inventory, which was the clock hanging in the hall.
Although the clock's battery had a problem and it could no longer work, the dial had a star pattern, which showed traces of time, so the props department kept it. The copper coin in the hall was hidden behind the clock.
When Cao Yu and his team were looking for it, they turned the hands a few times and found nothing unusual. Therefore, Jian Jing did not consider this clock at first.
But just in case, she finally climbed up to study it.
After taking a look, I can see something of the trick.
The background of the dial is the zodiac, and the hands are made of different materials: the hour hand is copper, the minute hand is wooden, and the second hand is plastic.
She once again analyzed the seven-star diagram arranged in the room, and after searching online for information, she obtained some new information.
The handle of the Big Dipper points to different directions in different seasons.
“When the handle of the Big Dipper points to the east, it is spring everywhere; when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the south, it is summer everywhere; when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the west, it is autumn everywhere; when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the north, it is winter everywhere.”
Comparing the map, we can see that the handle of the dipper in the room is facing west, which alludes to autumn.
There are six degrees of autumn in the zodiac: Beginning of Autumn 135 degrees, End of Heat 150 degrees, White Dew 165 degrees, Autumnal Equinox 180 degrees, Cold Dew 195 degrees, and Frost Descent 210 degrees.
She tried them one by one, but all failed.
Jian Jing almost gave up at that time, because it seemed like she was just making the transition.
But in the end, with a hint of unwillingness and a stubborn determination to pursue it to the end, she realized that there was still one omission.
pointer.
Autumn belongs to the element of gold, so it is called golden autumn.
After removing the wooden minute hand and the plastic second hand, move the metal hour hand again.
When it points to 135°, the mechanism opens.
There was a roar from behind the counter, breaking the floor and cement, revealing a passage.
This is a hidden crypt, or tomb.
On one side was a bare dark room with a coffin in it, and on the other side lying was the long-lost hostel owner.
Only after she found the body did the system declare the mission complete.
The pressure that Jian Jing had been holding in her chest finally dissipated, and she felt extremely comfortable all over, as if she had drunk three cups of espresso. She felt that she could fight for another day and night.
The pleasure that comes from painstakingly solving a puzzle is truly the ultimate spiritual enjoyment.
She was in high spirits: "It's up to the police from now on to find out who killed these people."
"Yeah, the police will definitely find the murderer." Jiang Baiyan coaxed her and got to the point, "Master, did the program team tell you? They plan to broadcast it as usual, but there will be a behind-the-scenes story."
Jian Jing nodded.
"Master, what are your plans?" he asked.
"I'm not good." She said frankly, "If the murderer is caught, considering the psychological state of the victim's family, it's better not to broadcast it. But if the murderer is not found, the appeal of the program can help. What's wrong?"
Jiang Baiyan organized his sentences and said, "The haunted house is a mystery thriller show, and it's a good idea to have a gimmick. Even if it's not suitable, well... well, let someone else bring it up."
Jian Jing was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, I understand."
"Also, I was going to recommend Master Li to shoot another episode, but Sister Yan is about to join the crew to shoot a drama, so there is a vacancy." He pursed his lips and said very disappointedly, "It may not work now, Master Li is too good."
He was very measured in his words, leaving no room for gossip, but he also got to the point - in a team program, everyone has a position, and it's good to be able to show their own characteristics, but if one person stands out too much and the others don't get the opportunity to show themselves, who would be willing to be a foil
At this point, I'm afraid all the calls that should be made have already been made. Favors, interests, exchanges... in the final analysis, this is a business.
However, Jian Jing didn't care.
This episode was exciting enough, so she didn't want to do it again. Instead, she asked in surprise, "You recommended me?"
Jiang Baiyan was stunned, as if he suddenly realized what he had said, and covered his face: "Ah, it's over." He looked at her pitifully, "Just pretend I didn't say anything, okay?"
Jian Jing was amused by him and deliberately asked, "What?"
"I'm so embarrassed." He scratched his face, "I didn't do anything."
"I still want to thank you." The thanks she gave seemed insincere, so Jian Jing asked, "If you don't mind, would you like me to treat you to a meal?"
Jiang Baiyan asked: "Is it okay to drink coffee? I'm still on a diet..."
"Pfft," she couldn't help laughing, "Of course, no problem."
Kang Mucheng bought a plane ticket overnight and flew here at 8 a.m. At 12 o'clock, he was already sitting with the producer for lunch.
After discussion, both parties reached an agreement to add a behind-the-scenes episode after this issue of "Hotel".
At the same time, at Jian Jing's strong request, the program team finally agreed that if the victim's relatives objected, some of the corpse footage must be deleted and only her discovery process would be retained.
After finishing the work, Jian Jing had a good sleep in the hotel and returned with Kang Mucheng the next day.
On the plane, Kang Mucheng asked her, "How do you feel?"
Jian Jing was silent for a while, then asked quietly, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"
"Did you see a ghost?" he asked back.
Jian Jing sighed and couldn't answer.
After the police took the body away, the system was settled.
[Mission Name: The Sorrow of the Seven Stars (Completed)]
[Task Description: This is a murder hotel with a long history, which hides secrets related to death. The innocent people who died have not been discovered yet. Their resentful souls are calling out unwillingly. Can you hear them?]
[Task rewards and penalties: Basic courage value 20 points + 20 special contribution points (discover all corpses)]
This task description is quite disconcerting. Are the marbles and abnormal temperature just psychological effects, or is there really something inexplicable
Although I was reborn into a parallel world and have a system, it is still terrifying when I think about it!
"I don't believe in ghosts and gods." Kang Mucheng said, "If you have hallucinations, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Jian Jing: “…” As expected, he is President Kang.
"I'm fine." She corrected herself. "It would be better if the police could find the truth sooner."
Kang Mucheng glanced at her inconspicuously and asked, "It seems that you took the initiative to propose this incident. Can I know how you did it?"
"I'm fine." She was puzzled and surprised. "I felt something was wrong, and of course I knew what was going on. Did I cause you any trouble?"
"No." Kang Mucheng said, "The producer is quite happy. They originally planned to promote it online and create a haunted house theme park brand. Real events will attract more tourists."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "But, at present, the show still relies on the guests to attract viewers, not on the plot."
Jian Jing said: "I understand."
"There will be opportunities later." Kang Mucheng seemed to be afraid that she would regret it, so he promised, "If you like this kind of activity, I will keep an eye out for you later."
Jian Jing was very eager to say that she was not very willing to do it again, but when the words came to her lips, she changed them to: "Let's see the results after this episode is broadcast. If the effect is not good, forget it."
On August 14, the police issued a seemingly ordinary notice.
"Recently, the police received a report that eight bodies were found in a hotel on a certain mountain. The police arrived immediately after receiving the report and confirmed a total of eight bodies, one of which was a middle-aged male and seven were children, ranging in age from 2 to 4 years old...
"After investigation and DNA identification, it was determined that the seven children's bodies were lost children in the vicinity, with the cause of death being poisoning. After poisoning the seven victims, the murderer sealed them in a ceramic jar and sealed it in the ceiling compartment of the hotel...
"A Chinese male named Qi, the father of the hotel owner, died of natural causes... Currently, the police have determined that Qi's son Qi Tian is a major suspect in the crime, and have issued a wanted order to the United States..."
The police report was not as sensational as the news, but the actual description was horrifying enough.
As if possessed by Sherlock Holmes, netizens immediately identified the key: the corpses of seven children were hidden in ceramic urns and sealed in a hotel. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary murder case.
Later, a loose-lipped staff member of the program revealed that this was discovered during the recording of the haunted house.
This was a big deal, and it immediately made the topic a hot topic.
The topic of #HauntedHouseAdventure# is extremely hot and everyone is looking forward to the show's premiere to find out what's going on.
On August 25, the first episode of the second season of "Haunted Mansion" "Hotel Transylvania" was broadcast.
Jian Jing squatted and watched on time.
She knew all the previous content, and the controversy in the comments was expected. After the two teams separated, she was a little surprised by the other team's part.
Cao Yu, Zheng Keyan and Cai Tong'er were searching for copper coins on the first floor, and naturally encountered many difficulties.
Zheng Keyan was praising her crazily behind her back: "Oh, it's good that Jingjing is here. I really don't know how to solve this problem. My head hurts."
Cai Tong'er also said: "Yes, she is amazing and her mind works very quickly."
"My memory has become worse since I gave birth to my child," Zheng Keyan said. "I even made mistakes when calculating bills."
Cai Tonger said: "In fact, I have always been quite stupid, and my reactions are slower than others."
Some comments in the comments were like "A pregnant woman makes three people stupid", while others were like "The little sister is so cute". In short, the comments became unexpectedly harmonious.
Jian Jing really admires him. Saying good things about people behind their backs is much better than praising them in front of them. And with the cameras here, are you still worried that these good words won't get out
After thinking about it again, I feel it is brilliant.
The most important person in the team is Zheng Keyan, but Cao Yu, with his ability and qualifications, has overshadowed Zheng Keyan. It is hard to say whether Zheng Keyan is trying to use Jian Jing's strength to her advantage.
Her praise was more sincere, while Cai Tong'er's was a little perfunctory, and her purpose of praising Jian Jing was to draw her out. After all, the two were of similar age, and it was hard not to be compared when put together.
Where was Cao Yu? He seemed to be concentrating on deciphering the secret, and did not join in the conversation, nor did he praise Jian Jing in the slightest.
The comment cue him that "Military Advisor Cao's face doesn't look good", which led to the retort that "The military advisor is concentrating on reasoning", and some comforting that "The advantage of celebrities is not here, it's normal that they can't compare, there is no need to compare."
Behind the seemingly harmonious team variety show, there is a lot of gaming.
But in this round, because of the existence of the behind-the-scenes special, no matter how hard they tried, Jian Jing was the well-deserved winner.
When the show was about to end, the barrage was full.
"Everyone, go watch the behind-the-scenes special, it's amazing!"
“The behind-the-scenes is the main film.”
"After watching it, I was so impressed that even passers-by became my fans."
“Reality is always more exciting than art.”
"Main film begins, high energy warning!"
"Be careful if you are timid, be careful, and make sure to turn on the lights!"
The special is about the process of Jian Jing excavating eight bodies after filming.
She said the rooms were arranged according to the Big Dipper.
Barrage 1: Damn, really?!
Barrage 2: I got goosebumps
Barrage 3: Isn’t this too scary? What does this mean
…
She smashed the first body in 206.
Barrage 1: WTF WTF WTF
Barrage 2: I’m just wasting time
Barrage 3: I am Sunshine Crystal
Danmaku 4: Danmaku protects me
Barrage 5: I am so crazy, I am so crazy, I can’t take it anymore
…
Seven bodies.
Barrage 1: Too scary
Barrage 2: I was so scared that I hugged my boyfriend
Barrage 3: Medical students expressed discomfort
Barrage 4: Who the hell did this? This is too perverted!
Barrage 5: Killing people with evil magic, it must be evil magic, how can a normal person do that
…
Searching for the eighth body.
Barrage 1: Is there another body
Barrage 2: Miss, are you sure? Isn’t there only seven stars in the Big Dipper
Barrage 3: Watching the news, eight bodies were dug out
Barrage 4: I really can’t figure out where the last one is.
…
Because the camera had not been removed in the early morning of the 11th, the hotel's camera was still running, and the time was thoughtfully marked in the right corner later.
The audience could see that Jian Jing went back and forth in the room for an hour or two, and stayed up all night before finally climbing up the shelf and opening the mechanism of the clock.
On the public screen, some people followed the reasoning, while others searched for information and analysis. Although they knew that these were all things of the past, the sense of immersion in such a live broadcast was too strong, and no one was willing to drag the progress bar, as their minds were drawn to it.
The moment the secret door appeared, everyone became alert.
The screen was filled with “6666666”, completely blocking the image. When the image of the tomb appeared, everyone was already impatient to start predicting.
Barrage 1: This is the best episode of Haunted House, nothing else, it will never be surpassed in the future
Barrage 2: Before watching: I want to see why the newcomer has one episode, after watching: Boss, I'm going to buy your
Barrage 3: I used to think the show was too fake, but now I know I really can’t afford it, goodbye
Barrage 4: The haunted house is a masterpiece
Barrage 5: This show cannot be watched a second time, it is terrifying when you think about it
…
At the end, the program team posted a police notice and a wanted poster, asking netizens to help find Qi Tian, the former boss of the hotel.
The photo of Qi Tian on the wanted poster was very blurry, and all one could roughly make out was a young man with a gloomy look.
The comments expressed the hope that the fans would help keep an eye out and let Qi Tian experience the power of the Internet.
Jian Jing was not so optimistic.
