\nOn the way to the shooting location, the director introduced them to this episode's concept and theme.
"We are now going to a haunted villa, your identity is a group of passionate youths who don't believe in ghosts, so you think there is no ghost in the villa, but you are wrong, there is a ghost there, and it is an undead soul that will hurt people. You will spend two days and one night in the villa. Don't try to run away. The undead soul will capture you all."
"The production team will assign a task for each of you during the day. The reward for completing your task will be announced at night, the reward might be useful for you at night. You have to survive from the undead in the villa during the night, but please rest assured that the undead soul is cute and not that scary."
The director smiled cheaply, since he learned that Sheng Xing Ze was afraid of ghosts, Liang Qing specifically told him to scare him off on the way.
"Film Emperor Yu, you have to protect me," Sheng Xing Ze patted Yu Bai's shoulders, his face was half serious, he had blatantly admitted that he was afraid of ghosts on national television, so he felt no shame when trying to cling onto his only oasis.
Yu Bai nodded his head agreeing on being the younger man's protector, with one arm wrapping around Sheng Xing Ze's shoulder.
Sheng Xing Ze raised his eyebrows proudly at the director. People with strong support are different. They must act confident.
When they were about to approach the destination, the program team decided to add some anxiety to the players by blindfolding Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai before they got out of the car.
Sheng Xing Ze was the first to be led out of the car, while Yu Bai was instructed to stay in the car until further notice.
It was very quiet all around, no one made a sound.
Sheng Xing Ze did not panic but stood motionless.
Suddenly, a cool and slippery object was being stuffed in his hand, he threw it away with disgust.
The director grabbed his hand and made him reach into the unknown object, "stretch out your hand, you're going to draw your team."
"Can you change to a different container next time? The feel of this thing is really not good to my senses."
Sheng Xing Ze swallowed down his disgust and drew a bingo ball from the container then handed it to the director. He quietly grabbed a piece of tissue from his pocket to wipe his hands.
"Your teammate will come to meet you soon," the director ignored Sheng Xing Ze's protest and asked the staff to take him to a room.
Sheng Xing Ze was being led to a bed, sitting down at the edge and waited for a moment. He heard footsteps entering the room, and his lazy posture changed immediately.
It looked like his teammate had arrived.
It seemed like his teammate did not want to get familiar with each other, or the person might not even know that there is another person in the room.
There was an awkward tension in the air, so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.
Sheng Xing Ze cleared his throat, ready to talk to his teammate.
"Hello?" He asked tentatively.
"Sheng Xing Ze?"
A very familiar voice replied to him.
Sheng Xing Ze could not help but laugh. He crawled over to Yu Bai in the dark and sat down next to him, "Isn't this our Film Emperor Yu?"
Yu Bai caught the hand that was groping his body, "Don't move."
Sheng Xing Ze obediently stopped his movement, "I have a feeling that the show deliberately arranged for us to be in a team. But I like this better. If they were to assign that coward Hui Si Yong to me, I would rather die on the spot."
Yu Bai secretly held Sheng Xing Ze's fingers, "Are you scared?"
"Fortunately, you're here so I'm not as scared." Sheng Xing Ze lightly scratched at Yu Bai's palm with his fingertips.
"But don't you think it looks like we're being kidnapped? I was taken to this place blindfolded, completely unaware of the outside world. Maybe I'm actually lying in an abandoned warehouse once they remove the blindfold, but there are only two beds."
He amused himself as he continued on, "The filming brothers, let me tell you that there are the youngs and the olds in my family who are waiting for me to feed them. I've not experienced the good times in life yet, don't let me die young due to filming a variety show..."
Listening to Sheng Xing Ze's ramblings, Yu Bai had the urge to remove his own blindfold so he could squeeze the other man's face; but after all he did not have the guts to do so in front of the camera, "It's okay, I'll be with you."
The staff member received instructions from the director and interrupted Sheng Xing Ze's little monologue, "Please take off your blindfold and receive the mission card."
Sheng Xing Ze took off his blindfold and walked over to take the card.
"Within one hour after the whistle blows, please find books with clues in the study room. Please be careful not to be seen by the undead on the porch, otherwise it will be regarded as a mission failure. Why are there undead during light out?" He muttered.
Yu Bai was groping around the room.
This is a very ordinary double room with two beds, two tables and a wardrobe. It is simple and tidy. There is a private bathroom at the door. Apart from the fact that the sheets are not white, it is simply a standard hotel room configuration.
"Xing Xing," Yu Bai called.
Sheng Xing Ze walked to Yu Bai in response.
"Pretend to be a ghost," Yu Bai took out a black cloak and a skull mask. "There should be other things in the room. We can pretend to be the undead soul."
Sheng Xing Ze agreed with this proposal, and followed Yu Bai to search the room.
When they took out a white skirt and black wig from under the mattress, the expression on his face was quite indescribable for a moment.
Contrary to him, Yu Bai burst into unprecedented expectations at the moment he saw the white dress. He still remembered the dress that he gave Sheng Xing Ze for his birthday, and he still regretted that he did not see Sheng Xing Ze wearing it.
Although he was looking forward to it in his heart, Yu Bai still had to take care of Sheng Xing Ze's mood, "How about it?"
"If you don't wear it, you might get attacked by the undead," the staff in the room reminded him.
The trauma of being chased by various ghosts and zombies in the last episode was still lingering. Sheng Xing Ze put the skirt on his body as quick as he could while gritting his teeth, and Yu Bai intimately helped him put on the wig.
Sheng Xing Ze was born an exquisite, even if he did not put on makeup, he still looks good.
Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai, who had put on their gears, stood at the door, ready to go, and only when the whistle sounded, the two of them slipped out of the room.
When they came across a skull wearing the same cloak as Yu Bai, the skull approached Yu Bai, seeming to confirm whether it was his own.
Yu Bai looked at the skull man without fear, straightened up and let the skull man look at him.
The skull man stared at him for a few seconds and then walked away.
Sheng Xing Ze stood beside Yu Bai, cold sweat drenched in his clenched fists.
Yu Bai took Sheng Xing Ze's hand and led him to the study.
The two had been rummaging through the study room, and they quickly found all the clues in the books without being disturbed.
Hui Si Yong and Jia Jie Mao thought they (Yu Bai & Sheng Xing Ze) were the undead souls in the study room, so they did not dare to enter the room, until the director called a stop on the radio.
The director asked everyone to gather in the hall, and Sheng Xing Ze took the time to go back and changed out his clothes. When he and Yu Bai entered the hall, the other guests were already seated inside.
In addition to Yu Bai, there were another two new guests in this episode.
Chu Shu Nan is the president of Apple Entertainment, one of the several giant entertainment companies in the entertainment industry. Shu Qing Ning is the backbone of the company he built, and accounts for half of the entertainment industry's hottest celebrities.
Chu Shu Nan and Shu Qing Ning have already made the news of their marriage public. They have always been the role model husband-husband pair in the circle, but there have been rumors of their marriages on the brink in the Internet recently. This time they were being separated into two groups by the program--Chu Shu Nan and Hui Si Yong in one group, Shu Qing Ning is grouped with Jia Jie Mao.
The guests greeted each other.
The director used a loudspeaker to announce the winner of the mission.
"The result is just in, it is Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai who handed over the most books as required. You will get the first round of clue cards. It is up to you to decide to expose the clues for everyone or not."
Sheng Xing Ze took a card from the director—be careful of the people around you, he may not be as beautiful as you think.
He showed the card to Yu Bai, "Film Emperor Yu, are you going to betray me?"
Yu Bai smiled at him, neither admit nor deny.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at him suspiciously, "Brother Yu, don't lie to me."
"I don't lie to you."
Sheng Xing Ze temporarily let go of Yu Bai. The people around him are not only Yu Bai, but the other four people are also people around him.
The meaning of this sentence has confirmed the fact that there is an undead among them.
Sheng Xing Ze generously showed the clues to others, and everyone reached a consensus that there is a mole among them.
"The program team will not prepare lunch for you, but there are enough ingredients in the refrigerator. You can choose to cook them yourself or go out to eat. However, it is stated in advance that the funds provided to you are for buying items to deal with the undeads at night, the more you spend the less items you can obtain."
The staff placed three envelopes in front of them.
"The funds are different in each envelope. You draw one for each team."
Jia Jie Mao was quick to get the thickest one, Hui Si Yong was a step slower than him, and took the other one in distress.
Sheng Xing Ze took the last envelope.
Jia Jie Mao's envelope looked very thick, but it was covered in many layers of large and small envelopes, and finally it was a debit card.
A stack of pink hundred bills in Hui Si Yong's envelope.
Sheng Xing Ze looked around and said, "Ours should be no less." He opened the envelope excitedly, and the light green inside made his eyes turn gloomy.
"One yuan, you really know how to come up with such torment." Sheng Xing Ze smiled bitterly and drew the only bill from inside and shook it towards the director.
The director waved his hand innocently and pointed to Liang Qing behind him, indicating that it was Liang Qing's idea and it had nothing to do with him.
The other two groups did not know how to cook, and both groups decided to eat out.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at the one bill in his hand, only to feel another stray wind blowing from behind.
"It seems that we can cook our own meal in the villa for lunch." He naturally stuffed a yuan bill into Yu Bai's pocket, "Shall we check out the kitchen?"
Yu Bai shook his head, "No, let's go out to eat."
Sheng Xing Ze felt his heart shattered into pieces, "My friend, let's not be wasteful, because we can't even pay the bus fare with the money we have."
Yu Bai rubbed the man's head, "Let's go, I will take you out to have a King's meal."
