"Do you want it?" Yu Bai said this and Sheng Xing Ze was a little confused by his words. He insisted that he could not fall for it, and he barely spoke out.
"Why not? Someone is willing to throw themselves at me, what kind of person who doesn't want it?"
Yu Bai chuckled, "Then you have to take well care of it."
Sheng Xing Ze was confused, and he directly hung up the call.
He did not know when Yu Bai learned to be so witty, the old Yu Bai would be blushing at every word he said. He did not know what kind of immune medicines Yu Bai was taking lately, he could no longer counter the man's move.
That was not good.
With that thought, Sheng Xing Ze walked towards the group of four and handed his phone over to the director for safekeeping.
The four regular guests sat in their respective positions, and the director picked up the big speaker and began to introduce the plot of the show.
"Our theme for this episode is the hospital. I think everyone has seen it," he pointed his hand and the camera behind him started to do a panoramic view of the hospital.
"The place where you are standing used to be a private hospital. This hospital is not as simple as you see. In fact, this is a den that sells human organs, but you don't know that."
The director spoke in an eerie tone, and at the end came a strange laugh.
Zhang Shi Jing, as the only girl, moved closer to the boys around her, and the delicate face was full of fright.
Hui Si Yong's face was not much better. His face turned pale at the introduction and turned to look at Sheng Xing Ze, who was listening to the director with an expressionless face. He really admired his Brother Sheng for not being afraid at all.
The director saw that the regular guests' faces were not looking really good, and that was exactly what Liang Qing wanted to see: their scared faces, then he calmly continued his explanation.
"Right now, you all are the medical students in your senior year, you don't know about the private activities of this hospital. You will come to this hospital as interns according to the school's arrangements. You will learn to dissect the body with the resident doctor."
He glanced around all four guests, "There is one thing you need to know," the director deliberately made a troubled face as he continued, "It's said that this place is haunted, and we often hear women crying from the deepest corner in the corridor."
Zhang Shi Jing and Hui Si Yong listened attentively, clutching Sheng Xing Ze's clothes tightly between them, so frightened that they were all tense and trembling.
Sheng Xing Ze felt his clothes were being clenched by the two people standing on his sides, he could not get his clothes off their grips. He simply just let them clench onto his clothes and continued to listen to the director's serious blundering.
Brother Sheng is not afraid, he is the hope, Brother Sheng is not afraid at all.
"A," the director suddenly roared, and Zhang Shi Jing jumped up, "AAAA."
Her screams amused several other guests, and Hui Si Yong, who was still scared and shivering, also laughed.
"I was almost scared to death by Shi Jing," Jia Jie Mao patted his chest exaggeratedly, and the exaggerated acting made everyone smile.
Zhang Shi Jing embarrassedly pulled on Sheng Xing Ze's clothes, and looked at Sheng Xing Ze with a pair of pleading eyes. She was still a little girl that was easily embarrassed, such a joke right after the shooting made Zhang Shi Jing feel uncomfortable.
Sheng Xing Ze pretended not to see pleading eyes from people around him. Among the three male guests, Jia Jie Mao was the one with better reputation than them, Hui Si Yong had the best family background, while Sheng Xing Ze could only be regarded as the best looking among them for now. Due to his relationship with Yu Bai, his popularity had been rising up and it would not go down any time soon. If a newcomer like Zhang Shi Jing were to stir up a little scandal with Sheng Xing Ze, then she would be able to gain some popularity from Yu Bai's name as a matter of fact.
Sheng Xing Ze could easily see through her plan, after all he had been living through two lives and in both he had been in the entertainment world long enough to understand this much. He quietly pulled the corner of his clothes out of Zhang Shi Jing's clench, and made it clear that he did not want to have anything to do with her.
Zhang Shi Jing, aware of Sheng Xing Ze's resistance, clenched her teeth secretly where it could not be captured by the camera lens, and when she faced the camera, a sweet smile appeared again.
When the director laughed enough, he continued to promulgate the mission, "Your mission is to find a way to escape from the hospital and find the right place to call for help."
"Let me tell you in advance, if you're being found out during your call for help, you will become a test subject on the surgical bed to have your organ taken out, or you will be taken away by the female ghost and be her food. Without further ado, please start the journey today, right now."
As soon as the director finished talking, a group of men in black entered and took all four guests into different rooms, each of the guests was given a script by these men, who prepared them ahead of time.
The story written in the script was basically the background introduced by the director, and each was assigned with an identity and a personal task.
Sheng Xing Ze quickly read through the script in his hand, "Crow, really not a lucky character."
Sheng Xing Ze skimmed through the script, and soon saw his personal task.
"My task is to push a cat to the female ghost, how could the director treat me like this, do I look like such a bad person?" He turned his head to the camera and showed a pure smile, vaguely seeing a pair of lovely canine teeth, a pair of crystal clear eyes that had no impurities in them.
A voice spoke to him: "If you fail the mission, you will become the first target of the female ghost."
Sheng Xing Ze blinked his eyes, and when he faced the camera again, that pure and kind little brother look just now had long gone, instead it was clearly a bloodthirsty devil, devious but dangerous.
"I can be that bad." The corner of his mouth curved up, the slightly upward arc made the camera brother feel the coldness running down his spine even through the camera lens.
"Let's go," Sheng Xing Ze put away his acting skill and walked to the outpatient lobby to join the other three people.
When he almost reached the lobby, he heard Zhang Shi Jing using her spoiled voice to say, "Brother Jia, I'm a little afraid of the dark, can you protect me?"
Along with this was Jia Jie Mao's stiff answer, "Go ask your real brother, because this fake brother[1] is also afraid of ghosts."
Sheng Xing Ze let out a "poof" and greeted them pretending to have not heard anything.
Zhang Shi Jing's face was turning from blue to red. She did not know whether Sheng Xing Ze had heard her and Jia Jie Mao's conversation. When she saw Sheng Xing Ze, she could barely squeeze out a sweet smile.
Sheng Xing Ze responded to her with a polite smile. When the last person, Hui Si Yong, entered the lobby, the four people entered the secret room.
The first place they entered was a duty room. In order to create a terrifying aura, the lights in the hospital got flicked off.
When the lights suddenly got flicked on, Hui Si Yong hugged Sheng Xing Ze's right hand, "Brother Sheng, I'm a little scared."
"And I'm not scared?" Sheng Xing Ze asked indifferently.
Hui Si Yong's head shook like a rattle, "I don't think you're scared. Brother Sheng, you aren't panicking at all."
"No, I'm scared." Sheng Xing Ze pulled his hand out of Hui Si Yong's arms. He held Yu Bai's little koi tightly in one hand, there was no way he could find clues with Hui Si Yong holding onto his hand.
Due to limited space, the camera group was not coming in with them, instead each guest was holding a digital camera, while the rest of the recording was relying on the hidden cameras in various corners of the hospital.
"What are we going to do?" Hui Si Yong asked with a trembling voice.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind coming from outside, "Bang!" The door of the duty room was locked.
Hui Si Yong once again clasped Sheng Xing Ze's hand; without a source of light, Sheng Xing Ze's back was a little bit cold in the dim room, and did not avoid Hui Si Yong's move of clenching onto him.
Jia Jie Mao rushed up to break the door open, but it was in vain.
"Let's look around for any clues," Sheng Xing Ze cleared his throat and tried to make his voice not tremble.
Hui Si Yong reluctantly let go of Sheng Xing Ze's hand and began to look around the room. Jia Jie Mao looked around for clues on how to open the door. Only Zhang Shi Jing was sitting on a chair and leaned her back against the wall, not wanting to move a finger.
Sheng Xing Ze glanced at her lightly, then moving his gaze over to the buttons in front of him. He took the koi out and kissed it, then boldly pressed a few buttons.
With a "ding", the screen in the corner of the room lit up, and today's duty was written on it.
"Here!" Hui Si Yong exclaimed. He handed Sheng Xing Ze a stack of signs, "Here are the name tags of the doctors on duty and everyone's assigned work is written on it."
Sheng Xing Ze tried to put the sign onto the screen, only to hear a click, the safe at the corner was opened.
Jia Jie Mao glanced over his head and looked at it, "This seems to be a circuit diagram. Yet I've returned all that I learned to my teacher." He patted his head in annoyance, as if it could help him remember something.
"Can I give it a try?"
Zhang Shi Jing, who was sitting in her chair, got up. She seemed to find her sense of existence was quite low. She was afraid that there would be no shots of her when this scene was edited later. She stood up and made her presence known in between the other three.
Sheng Xing Ze stepped back to give her some space and stood quietly behind them.
Zhang Shi Jing tried the circuit for a long time. She checked it several times but still failed.
"Did we get the wrong idea?" She turned to look at the other three, "Maybe the drawing does not mean that we should build the circuit."
Sheng Xing Ze raised his eyes, "You have placed the battery in the opposite position, the ammeter is short-circuited, it would be a miracle if the power is on."
He stood up and adjusted the circuit a few times. The door of the duty room was suddenly opened at the moment the power was on, and Sheng Xing Ze took the lead into the dark corridor outside.
"Brother Sheng, you mean that I'm dragging everyone behind." Zhang Shi Jing's voice sounded like she was about to cry, "It was too dark inside, I made a mistake because I didn't see the circuit clearly."
Sheng Xing Ze turned to look at her, "I don't blame you, be more careful next time."
Jia Jie Mao as the humor personality in the show did not want the atmosphere to become so tense. He made a few jokes and had everyone laugh a few times. Just as the group of people was starting to relax, a harsh voice suddenly sounded, "What're you laughing about, hurry up and come here!"
A masked man dressed in white stood in front of them, and a scary mask blocked his face. Even at a distance of a few meters, four people could feel the anger emanating from him.

Note:
[1] Jia Jie Mao - his last name "Jia" means "fake"; that's why he said to ask the real brother, because the fake brother, or Brother Jia, can't help Zhang Shi Jing.
