Hearing Yuan Meng's answer, Mo Lin raised his eyebrows, clearly not quite believing it.
Yuan Meng still wore a sweet smile on her face, but her heart sank slightly. Had she overacted today? Did Mo Lin sense something was wrong?
She clasped her hands together and held them in front of her face. Her tender voice took on a slight tremor. "Moreover, as women ourselves, we should feel for those who have suffered such injustice."
"How could I be afraid when I feel so much pity for them?"
The innocent and kind-hearted girl act was successfully executed.
[Waaah, Yuan Meng is so sweet and gentle. Even though she's scared, she still tries to act brave.]
[Indeed. As women, just thinking about what those girls have been through makes my heart ache.]
[I'm really a fan of Yuan Meng now. She's so cute and has such a good moral compass. Who wouldn't like her?]
"Yuan Meng, I'm coming up. Get ready. Don't be scared later," Xiang Bo's voice came from the cellar entrance. Yuan Meng's eyes were full of eagerness, but her body trembled slightly as if in fear, and she took a small step back.
After making these reactions, she nodded firmly as if making up her mind. "Okay! Come up!"
"Don't underestimate these corpses. They're really lifelike. Yuan Xingcheng's face turned pale when he saw them. It was the first time I saw the word'shivering' come to life," Xiang Bo snorted with laughter, his voice full of teasing.
Behind him, Yuan Xingcheng, who was helping him carry the corpse, kicked him with his foot and gritted his teeth. "You bastard, shut up!"
"Ouch, you're getting angry out of embarrassment!" Xiang Bo couldn't kick back easily, so he could only retort with his mouth.
The two of them were having a great time down there, while Yuan Meng, standing above, was getting impatient.
The supposedly terrifying corpses were just nearby, but she could only listen to their meaningless banter. It was so annoying.
Yuan Meng pursed her lips. Hmph, this nephew must not be kept.
Just then, Mo Lin glanced at her, and Yuan Meng immediately changed her expression.
All traces of annoyance and disdain disappeared. She gently bit her lip and nervously stared at the cellar entrance.
"Come up," she said in a trembling voice.
Mo Lin watched her like this and still felt something was off. He still thought she wasn't really scared, but her expression seemed to indicate otherwise.
At this moment, Xiang Bo and Yuan Xingcheng finally carried the corpse up. When Yuan Meng saw the corpse they were carrying, her eyes widened immediately.
Those who knew her well knew this was a sign that she was interested.
She instinctively took two steps forward, but at the last moment, she remembered her current persona and stopped abruptly.
To cover up her instinctive action, Yuan Meng swallowed nervously and looked at the corpse with a mixture of caution and curiosity. Her curiosity was well-hidden.
In fact, she was itching to start studying right away to figure out how these corpses were made.
They were so lifelike. They were so real that if it weren't for the live broadcast, they probably wouldn't pass the censorship.
[Holy shit, is this something I can watch for free? How can the corpses be so realistic? The props team is amazing!]
[Guys, when I saw the corpses, I instinctively took out my phone and was about to dial 110. I only remembered I was watching a variety show at the last moment.]
[Same here. It's so shocking.]
The viewers were in a similar state to the guests. In short, they were shocked by the corpses and left dumbfounded.
Xiang Bo put down the corpse and walked up to Yuan Meng, whispering words of comfort. "Don't be scared. These corpses are fake."
Seeing him rushing to show his concern, Yuan Xingcheng rolled his eyes silently.
"Look, the connection between the hair and the scalp on this corpse isn't very well done. You can tell it's fake at a glance," Yuan Xingcheng said.
"But the joints are well-made. I tried it just now, and the arm of the corpse can move, and you can't feel any mechanical parts at all."
Xiang Bo was very patient and carefully guided Yuan Meng.
Yuan Meng also cooperated by standing up straight, her eyes showing a bit of interest as if she was no longer scared.
Her reaction gave Xiang Bo a great sense of accomplishment, but he didn't know that Yuan Meng was using him to gradually change her emotions.
After Xiang Bo talked himself hoarse, Yuan Meng finally "mustered up the courage" to touch the corpse herself.
After pretending to be scared at first, she immediately let loose and started feeling the corpse all over.
Yuan Xingcheng had originally planned to scold Xiang Bo for his recklessness after Yuan Meng got scared, but instead, he saw that she wasn't scared at all and was even quite interested.
He regretted it so much that he could have bitten his tongue off. If he had known this, he would have been the first to step forward and explain the knowledge about these corpses!
"I think the eyeballs on this corpse aren't very well done. A normal person's eyeballs wouldn't look like this after being hit," Yuan Meng said boldly, pointing out the flaws in the corpse.
She knew this very well. If an eyeball was hit hard, it wouldn't be swollen and bloodshot like this. The corpses made by the program team didn't show these signs.
It was a pity that such excellent corpses were ruined by the eyeballs.
The director (with a deathly smile): Thanks for the advice.
He had already opened Baidu and was searching for "What to do when the guests go crazy?"
Yuan Xingcheng was also deeply disappointed. His face turned ashen. Why had his cute goddess turned into this?
"Xiang Bo, look what you've done to Yuan Meng. I think you two should stay away from each other from now on," Yuan Xingcheng finally couldn't hold it in and blurted out his thoughts.
[Finally, someone said what I was thinking.]
[Xiang Bo: Huh? It's my fault?]
[Why does it seem like Yuan Meng's true nature has been unleashed?]
"Ah! Murderer!"
A shrill female voice echoed through the house. Everyone in the room instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. Liu Yang was standing there, her face as white as a sheet, staring at Yuan Meng.
To be precise, she was staring at the severed arm in Yuan Meng's hand.
To create a terrifying atmosphere, the lights in the room were a pale white. Under this light, the corpses made by the program team looked even more real.
The corpses, combined with the arm in Yuan Meng's hand, created a perfect scene of a dismembered body.
Liu Yang was so scared that she fell to the ground and was completely stunned.
Yuan Meng, who had been enjoying studying the corpse, frowned in annoyance. Her voice turned cold. "Anyone with a brain knows we're filming a variety show."
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you trying to get attention?"
As soon as she said this, everyone turned their attention to her. Only then did Yuan Meng remember her persona.
But... it was only a few days until she could leave. This Liu Yang was so annoying. She really couldn't hold it in anymore.
So everyone watched in disbelief as the innocent little rabbit turned into a black-bellied girl.
Yuan Meng lowered her eyes and walked towards Liu Yang step by step, holding the fake arm.
"You're scared..."
"Of this?"
A big smile spread across her doll-like face, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
