Wu Jin was stunned.

The ghost was still observing them from the edge of the toilet stall. Wu Jins brain hadnt reacted yet when he jumped up to open the door for the big boss out of conditioned reflex, I was wear-wear-wearing them, Ive always been wearing them

Amidst the sound of flus.h.i.+ng water, he could see Wei s.h.i.+ stab his blade straight in, pus.h.i.+ng open the door ferociously!

Several mini cameras caught every second of this rapidly changing situation!

In the Crosson Show live broadcast room. The scrolling comments fell into a strange silence, then suddenly boiled up and created huge waves.

??? Im new here, I dont understand. Whats the key point here?! At this time, shouldnt he say, be careful, stand behind me, run quickly, Ill protect youG.o.d Wei, why are you so concerned about whether or not Little Witch was wearing pants?!

Hahahahahaha-hic! Little Witch was so scared. Just now, he was fine when he saw the female ghost, but now, oh ho! He doesnt know where to put those little hands of his!

In a non-public place, the Scarf girls were also caught off guard. They then filled the screen with a series of shouts and howls:

Ahhhhhh Scarf is real!!! Holy s.h.i.+t, Brother Weis possessiveness, is he even rus.h.i.+ng in to examine him personally??

, today is a day where Im getting dizzy watching the live broadcast!

Begging for the female ghosts camera perspective! @program team, can you let me be the one lying up there!

Report!!! G.o.d Wei rushed inside!

The Scarf girls instantly grew over-excited.

In a flash, the Crosson Show live broadcast room had attracted countless viewers who quickly input their ident.i.ty chips and verified their legal age.

Even Blood Pigeon was startled. He then suddenly realized, The real life version of

is rated as b.l.o.o.d.y and violent, PG-12 and above. Now it seems that the audience is very enthusiastic about ghost horror films.

Ying Xiangxiang: Youre overthinking it. They just want to see Contestant Wu and Contestant Wei messing around in the bathroom.

However, the audiences enthusiasm obviously also prompted Instructor Blood Pigeons own enthusiasm.

Blood Pigeon took over the microphone and sighed emotionally, I can see a very simple, deep friends.h.i.+p between the two contestants. Most of the time, allies and spectators only care about your rank in the game, while only true brothers will care about your real situation and physical condition

In the live broadcast screen.

Wei s.h.i.+ crowded into Wu Jins toilet compartment, without leaving any room for resistance. His eyes were cold and displeased as they first swept past the female ghost, then circled back around. Only when he saw that Wu Jin was still well dressed did his aura restrain itself slightly.

Wu Jin could only flush again as a cover. His small, round face beneath the mask was foolishly stupefied, Brother Wei, I didnt didnt Didnt take off my pants

Wei s.h.i.+s gaze moved down.

Wu Jin:

Wu Jin: !!! Holy s.h.i.+t, this look from behind the camera, why did it seem a little wrong!

The clean, small bathroom stall immediately became crowded.

Wei s.h.i.+s presence was very strong. Wu Jin had no choice but to strategically retreat. The ghost hanging over the left part.i.tion wall seemed boneless, and her pale head continued to lean towards Wu Jin. Her neck and spine bent 180 degrees, practically folding up, and her long, fishy hair seemed to be about to land on Wu Jins cheek

Wu Jin pushed the ghost to the side and cleverly came up with an excuse, Its a little crowded with her here.

The female ghost narrowed her eyes.

The two people were standing at different corners. Wu Jin pulled away from the ghost and came closer to Wei s.h.i.+, their breaths tangling together hotly.

Wu Jin spoke sincerely, The two of us are a little crowded. Then, he opened the door in the big bosss stead.

Wei s.h.i.+ was expressionless, You go out first.

The female ghosts pale knuckles trembled with anger.

There was a bang as Wu Jin pushed open the stall door and went out, leaving the big boss inside on his own. Wu Jin thought back and forth and felt that it wasnt right. The rainstorm outside the window hadnt let up, and the water vapor in the air was dense. Inside the compartment, there was a single man and lonely woman; Brother Weis approximately 190cm height and figure, and the wriggling female ghost formed a particularly cute height difference

Wu Jin knocked on the door again and poked his head in, Brother Wei, how about I go in and you go out? Ah!

On the compartment door panel, the

female lead whod been ignored for a long time and couldnt bear it anymore suddenly burst out!

The female ghost raised up her head abruptly, her pale skin as strangely blue as it had been in the video. Her b.l.o.o.d.y mouth opened soundlessly, and her hands stretched out along the wall. Her fingertips that had no nails, flesh, or blood clawed at Wei s.h.i.+, who was closest!

Wu Jins eyes opened wide as he stared.

The blood in his entire body suddenly boiled up, adrenaline surged, and Wu Jin entered his battle state instantly!

In the Crosson Show live broadcast room, Instructor Ying Xiangxiang quickly took over the mic, The ghost girl made a move! Contestant Wei s.h.i.+ is currently the first aggro target. If Contestant Wu has a long-range attack weapon, his current position would give him a very favorable opportunity. Unfortunatelyk2013;k2013;

In the camera, against everyones expectations, Wu Jin didnt consider providing support for Wei s.h.i.+ at all.

The youth retreated and stepped back from the stall door. He turned on the two faucets to cover up the noise of fighting, then ran into the half open stall to the far left

Ying Xiangxiangs mouth dropped open.

That was the stall where the ghost was.

At the top of the part.i.tion, the female ghosts entire body had to dive into the middle compartment in order to attack Wei s.h.i.+. When Wu Jin suddenly broke in from behind her, he tugged at this little sisters two severed legs

The ghost squealed and was forced back by Wu Jins actions!

The situation in the bathroom changed again! The youth dragged the ghost back into the stall , then moved as fast as electricity, raising up his knee as his hands caught the ghosts arm. His knee slammed into the ghosts back, pus.h.i.+ng her hard against the closed toilet cover.

Wu Jin finally raised his chin.

The most standard melee combat technique.

Beneath his knee, the plastic cover was being pressed down by Wu Jin and the ghost. The combined force was too much, and the cover split with a creak.

There was an uproar off-site!

Ying Xiangxiang turned to Blood Pigeon, Little Witch and Contestant Wei formed a team, but I remember that in the previous round, the main DPS position was always given to Contestant Wei? This time, why is it Little Witch

Blood Pigeon nodded. His gaze held appreciation, The main DPS position is just a formality. In a survival show team, once it comes to resources and specialization, there is a difference in damage dealers and support players. However, this map doesnt consume resources. Therefore, the most perfect two person team is a dual core operation where either player can be the c-position at any time.

On the camera, Wu Jin breathed out lightly.

The fingers that were wrapped around the female ghosts arm felt cold and sticky. According to the agreement he and the big boss had made prior to the compet.i.tionthis compet.i.tion would be the last training match between him and the big boss.

He wouldnt interfere too much during the battles and wouldnt prompt him with clues. For no other reason, then because after this round, regardless of whether it was the Crosson Show debut game or the future Star League, Stardust Cup, or other compet.i.tions, Wu Jin would be playing in all of them alone.

From behind him, the big boss pushed open the stall door.

Wu Jin bowed his head slightly and wanted to communicate with the ghost, but his eyes stilled briefly when he started observing her carefully.

Wu Jins gaze hovered around the contours of the ghosts face.

The female ghost NPC was undoubtedly an AI from the program group. It was a fierce ghost whod had its legs cut off and wandered around in the rain. The skin of her arm showed obvious traces of robot silicone to the touch, and her body temperature was cold. However, her face was covered with a layer of fake skin

The female ghosts twisted limbs moved slightly.

Wu Jin paused.

The female ghosts head was facing down; she was flailing slightly, and her limbs were twisted strangely. In the next second, the ghosts flexible joints rotated 180 degrees, the downward facing head turned upwards without warning, and the arms held down flipped up

The ghost opened its mouth and aimed at Wu Jin again.

Wu Jin: !! It didnt make any sense!

The AI ghost was indomitable. Wu Jin couldnt help it and retreated repeatedly, until the ghost suddenly came out from the stall!

Wei s.h.i.+ didnt hesitate to pull out the dagger, attacking directly and forcing the female ghost back. The two people instantly began to fight side by side. Wu Jin gasped for breath and pulled out a dagger. His eyes flashed around quickly, sweeping through the bathroom.

This wasnt right.

Nearly eight minutes had pa.s.sed since the two of them began their 10 minute duty s.h.i.+ft. The female ghosts fighting effectiveness was equivalent to that of an A-cla.s.s trainee, but it was extremely difficult to be a perpetual combat machine. Since the King of Hearts was able to fight against the female ghost and even eliminate another player during the fight, things definitely werent as simple as they seemed.

At this time, there was blood everywhere in the bathroom. Some was left from previous fights, and some of it was fresh, having come from the female ghosts severed legs

Wu Jin froze on the spot.

All of the blood ended near the sink.

Sink! Wu Jin spoke concisely and pulled the big boss towards the sink.

The female ghosts expression changed abruptly. She twisted in the air, wanting to block the two peoples way. However, Wu Jins actions were faster, and he flicked water at her at top speed with both hands!

There was no response.

As expected, the ghost came to a stop one meter away from the sink and couldnt come any closer despite her flailing teeth and claws.

Wu Jins thoughts moved as fast as lightning.

20 minutes ago, the King of Hearts had undoubtedly been hiding in the safe zone near the sink. The ghost couldnt get within range of the sink. What she was afraid of wasnt the water, nor the white tiles that covered the bathroom. What was more, when he and the big boss encountered the ghost in the corridor, the ghost had been overhead, and her wound had splashed blood onto the wall. Why would she choose to run away there instead of through the hallway close to the bathroom, the one that was covered with mirrors

Wu Jin suddenly turned back.

On the wall above the sink, an old yellow mirror reflected him and the big boss directly back at them.

There was no ghost in the mirror.

Mirror. Wu Jin spoke softly.

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded.

No need to say more.

In the next moment, they both stepped out of the one meter circ.u.mference safe zone around beside the sink. Wu Jin jumped straight up and grabbed the ghosts arm, pulling it towards the mirror. The female ghosts pale face showed a trace of pain and fear, and she struggled to retreat!

Wu Jin finally breathed out lightly.

Mirror.

The binding rule for the ghost in the red dance shoes was the mirror. Although this had nothing to do with the red dance shoes, and Wu Jin couldnt figure out why the girl whose legs had been cut off was afraid of mirrors, meaningless rules rarely appeared in survival shows

But, this was the rule.

Wu Jin opened his mouth and yelled in a loud voice, Ahhhhhhh

The players on the other side of the thick wooden door, whod been waiting for a long time, were shocked. They kicked open the door and charged in. The one in the lead was Caesar, ! Its really a ghost! What the h.e.l.l? Its not a lolita?

Inside the door, Wei s.h.i.+ was still struggling with the female ghost, while Wu Jin seemed to be running over to try and get help.

However, as soon as the crowd appeared, the ghost turned and escaped out of the window without a trace of hesitation. She only glanced at the players with an expression of resentment on her miserably pale cheeks before disappearing completely.

The crowd instantaneously burst out into whispers.

The ghosts face and pupils were really terrible, but Caesars ally, that support player named Yu Chu, soon appeased everyone gently, At least it proved one point.

She wont show up in crowded places. Tonight, everyone will stay together and not go out alone

Wu Jins vision pa.s.sed through the crowd, sweeping over the King of Hearts who was disguised as trainee September.

The King of Hearts seemed to sense it.

However, Wu Jin was extremely calm. After glancing over the King of Hearts, he went on to look at trainee A, B, and C

Caesar snuck in closer, Why did you flush the toilet so many times.

Wu Jins eyes opened wide, What!

Caesar lowered his voice and criticized, Have you been eating too much spicy food recently!! This is a compet.i.tion! Forget it, I wont tell your captain.

Wu Jin: ..!!!

The noise in the bathroom finally quieted down. Wu Jin felt that Yu Chu was simply a prodigy; hed even come up with a way to have everyone take numbers and line up to go to the toilet. They gathered together into groups of six and went to the bathroom together to prevent being stared at by the female ghost. The principle was similar to that of girls going to the toilet hand in hand between cla.s.ses.

However, Wu Jin quickly s.h.i.+fted his attention elsewhere.

In order to deal with the King of Hearts, he needed to decide on a plan and move based on it.

It continued to rain heavily outside the window. Taking advantage of the time before the lights went out, Wu Jin quickly did a sweep through the entire training building.

There were only two floors. Upstairs held the dormitories, and the bottom floor was the training room. A small portion of the corridors held mirrors, and other than the Red Dance Shoes group, the Brothers Grimm and Wildes fairy tale script groups had been scattered in their respective training buildings and were separated from them by the downpour.

Wu Jin could only see the outline of a small building nearby through the weak light through the rain when he opened the window.

Without exception, the area outside the small building was surrounded by a large stretch of red roses.

They were reflected in the mirror in the distant training room.

Their wrist watches vibrated slightly.

There was only 10 minutes to go before the trainees were to gather together. Clips from that days activities would be broadcast to the audience.

On their wrist watches, there were 52 survivors left.

Wu Jin poked at the mirror with his fingers, then went back to join the team with the big boss.

The AI director stood in the center of the training room, surrounded by a total of 21 trainees; the other three were missing. The King of Hearts was mixed in with the crowd, along with the big group that was making their way back from the bathroom. He hadnt found time to kill again.

Wu Jin looked around at the contestants in the same script group.

Anyone who could advance from 100 into 60 had to be capable.

At this time, the

that had been on repeat on the TV was finally paused. The director first expressed the program groups dissatisfaction; because the rehearsal progress for the Red Dance Shoes group had come to a standstill, the 21 person camera shot editing in this issue would only account for 1/5th of the total length of the episode, and there would be no way for them to obtain longer screen time in order to canvas votes from the audience.

However, before the broadcast, contestants had another chance to modify these clips.

The purpose of the playing cards that had been issued before finally came to light. Hearts cards could control public opinion on the forums, while spades could increase players appearance time. Clubs could cut off any segment of the program. The diamond signified wealth, and players who held diamond cards could increase votes for themselves. Jokers had no effect.

The announcement of the rules caused a small stir amongst the lower ranked players. Those in the upper ranks obviously didnt care.

Wu Jin soon stopped caring as well.

The essence of the survival show was focused around survival and changing skins. The card games were just harmless, innate embellishments.

Even so, for players who were hovering at the pa.s.sing line, the cards were equivalent to a final savior that could save them from eliminationafter the AI announced that they could now choose to hand in their cards if they wished, some trainees secretly handed in their cards through their wrist watches.

A few minutes later, the episode finally aired.

For a time, the trainees whod all been fighting to the death now all sat together like students around the screen.

Wu Jin sat next to the big boss.

Hed actually never seen a movie seriously with the big boss before!!!

Even if this movie was actually a talent show episode.

In the current episode, clips from the other two cla.s.ses began to play.

The vocals group is performing Wildes

. The comprehensive group has Brothers Grimms

. Wu Jin mused out loud in a low voice.

Wu Jin had no deep impressions of

. It seemed that in the original story, the nightingale had stabbed thorns through its chest and created the worlds most beautiful red roses by watering them with blood.

The episode continued on to the

group.

There was less than 12 minutes of camera time, but they tried valiantly to show all the trainees in the group, highlighting character designs and key points

Wu Jin stilled abruptly.

The crowd gradually grew noisier, and more than one person looked back towards Wu Jin.

This trainee, Leica, whod tried all possible means to get enough camera time, hadnt shown up in the video clips at all.

Trainee Leicas real time support rankings dropped down from 24 to 36.

He was in a precarious position for the next round.

Juurensha: Hmmmm did the King of Hearts cut all his scenes?
