Chapter 117: A Problem with the Setup

[Yuan Meng's fan: Seriously, thank Yang Liu just now. If she hadn't been so annoying and stepped forward on her own, it would be my sister who would have encountered the ghost now.]

[It's the first time I've seen such quick retribution. Yang Liu must be regretting it so much by now.]

[She's really unlucky. Not only is she scared every time, but now she's even scared by a ghost. I almost broke my screen when that female ghost rushed out just now.]

Yang Liu had no idea that she had become the symbol of retribution online. At this moment, she was looking at Yuan Meng and Yuan Xingcheng aggrievedly, not daring to turn around.

Come on, there was a female ghost behind her. If she turned around and faced it, she would really be doomed.

After the group had been in this stalemate for a while, Yang Liu asked in a small voice, "Is it... still there?"

"It left after scaring you," Yuan Xingcheng replied.

Hearing this, Yang Liu finally let out a sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground, as if all the strength had been drained from her body.

"All of you are bullying me. You've isolated me, and even the ghosts only scare me."

"If I had known this lousy show would be so scary, I would never have come. Yuan Meng is a girl, and so am I. Why do you only protect her?"

Yang Liu cried and questioned Yuan Xingcheng. At this moment, she really looked no different from a shrew.

Yuan Xingcheng felt quite speechless. Of course he would protect his little cousin. Why would he protect someone else?

Moreover, didn't Yang Liu herself understand why she was isolated?

When someone was a bit nice to her, she would cling to them and try to stir up CP rumors. Who would dare to help her like this?

It was estimated that if someone offered a helping hand, they would be entangled in endless CP announcements right away. Even the false rumors would be spread as if they were true.

[To be honest, Yang Liu is not suitable for this kind of reality show. Her personality is a bit pretentious, and besides that, she is obviously stupid. Does she think others can't see through her little tricks?]

[Yang Liu's face is still presentable, but if she doesn't act or participate in variety shows, what else can she do?]

[She seems to be quite something. The neighbor next to my house used to act like this when quarreling. She would sit on the ground and act like a spoiled child. Anyway, it was always someone else's fault.]

[Why doesn't she think about it? If she hadn't had those bad intentions and tried to grab the position just now, who could have scared her?]

"Alright, it's not that the ghost is targeting you. You probably triggered a clue just now. Yuan Xingcheng, do you want to go and check if there are any clues nearby?"

Yuan Meng whispered her speculation. Hearing this, Yuan Xingcheng immediately nodded, eager to fly over to find the clues.

It was mainly because Yang Liu was so annoying. He had never met such an annoying woman before. If he had to continue filming this show, he might develop a phobia of women.

Just as Yuan Xingcheng was about to go and look for the clues, he heard a loud shout, "Don't run!"

It was Xiang Bo's voice. After hearing his voice, the group immediately ran towards the direction of the sound and happened to meet Mo Lin, who was coming over with a shovel.

Xiang Bo wasn't beside him. Yuan Xingcheng quickly asked, "What's going on? Is there any clue?"

Mo Lin sighed helplessly and put the shovel on the ground. "Just now, a staff member dressed up as a ghost to scare us. Xiang Bo just went after him without saying a word."

"He ran so fast that I didn't even have time to shout 'Don't run'."

"I don't know if there are any traps set by the director."

Hearing this, everyone felt quite speechless. With Xiang Bo's impulsive personality, he probably didn't even have time to think about any conspiracies when he ran.

Anyway, it was all about taking action.

"Yang Liu met a ghost when she was sitting on the tree stump just now. We guess there should be clues over there by the tree. Let's go and look for them first," Yuan Xingcheng said helplessly.

Xiang Bo had already run out of sight. It wasn't far from here to the tree stump. If he came back, he could walk over on his own. There was no need to wait for him here.

Everyone nodded to show their agreement. Only Yang Liu, who had seen the ghost just now, rolled her eyes.

She already felt scared. Hearing this, she thought that she should never have come to film this variety show.

She hadn't managed to form a CP, and her popularity hadn't increased much. Even her agent had told her yesterday that there were already posts scolding her online.

Yang Liu kicked the pebble at her feet. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She had also done her best in the variety show. Why was she the one being scolded?

Yuan Meng always just knew how to hide behind men and cry. Why did those people think she was cute?

"Yang Liu, hurry up and catch up. Be careful of meeting the ghost again. I always feel that the director is holding back some big move," Mo Lin shouted.

Hearing the words "meeting the ghost", Yang Liu, who had been a bit moody just now, couldn't help but shiver and quickly ran over.

She had been so angry just now that she had forgotten that there were many dangers in the variety show.

After Yang Liu ran into the group, she inched her way over to Yuan Meng's side. She also wanted to be protected in the middle of the group.

Everyone didn't say anything when they saw her like this. They were supposed to protect the girls anyway. Even if she didn't squeeze in on her own, they would have let her in.

However, there was a big difference between being invited and squeezing in on one's own.

Among the three men present, they took the shovel that Mo Lin had brought back and started digging under the tree stump.

Although Yang Liu didn't want to get close to Yuan Meng, she was even more reluctant to get close to the tree stump. So, with a straight face, she reluctantly stood beside her.

"There really is something. These seem to be jewelry, but they're quite trendy. They don't seem to be from this village," Yuan Xingcheng said as he picked up the jewelry they had just dug out from behind the tree with his hand and gently blew off the dirt on it.

"I've also found something. What I found is a necklace. It also looks quite trendy."

"What I have is a watch."

The three of them dug out a lot of things. It was obvious that these things didn't belong to the village.

The transportation and civilization in the village were backward. How could the villagers wear such shiny jewelry? They couldn't even buy them.

"These things should belong to the women who were abducted here," Mo Lin said.

Just as the group was discussing the ownership of the jewelry, Xiang Bo came back out of breath, holding a shovel. "I'm back," he gasped.

His face was flushed, and he took a few deep breaths. "I almost caught up with that ghost just now, but I was stopped by the program staff."

"I didn't expect the program group to be so petty. Since they sent someone to scare us, they should have expected that the staff member might be caught."

"I've run so far and I'm so out of breath. My kidneys even hurt. If I don't get any results..."

Hearing what he said, everyone silently looked down at the shovel in his hand.

If the staff member had really been caught, they might have lost their lives.

From his out - of - breath appearance, it could be seen that the staff member had run for their life, and one could also imagine Xiang Bo chasing after them with a big shovel.

However...

"There's a problem with this setting. How could a ghost come out during the daytime?"

"Moreover, ordinary ghosts can't touch the ground with their feet. It's even more impossible for them to be chased and run."
