The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 303

Amidst the barrage of scrolling comments bursting with laughter, they finally passed this stage.

Other than bringing the note about Guan Liangzhe's secret meeting, Bride Bai also opened that door.

The three of them walked out of the room door and finally saw the outside.

It turned out the place they were in was a small two-room house, the ancient-style kind.

After walking out from the inside, the outer room was slightly bigger, and the furnishings were much richer.

At the door was a small courtyard. As soon as the room door opened, you could see the moonlight in the yard.

The two sides of the yard were tall walls. On the opposite side, connected to one end, was another two-story small building. Light shone from the second floor, and faint red light could vaguely be seen.

Guan Liangzhe was very surprised: "The production team isn't afraid we'll run away?"

Gu Beihuai looked around and gave an accurate positioning: "An old house with two sections and two exits, especially suitable for being haunted."

Guan Liangzhe: "!!!"

Nan Xiangwan: "I can jump over this wall with one leap."

Gu Beihuai: "There's an electric shock device above. Don't worry, the production team definitely won't give you a chance to run away."

Nan Xiangwan: "Director Hua is too sinister."

The barrage of comments started madly praising the production team with words like "I love Director Hua". They just loved watching the production team mess with the cast.

Every episode was a big production. Each one was more elaborate and interesting than the last!

If this show doesn't become a hit, the heavens wouldn't allow it!

Nan Xiangwan pointed at the small building across: "That's probably where your secret meeting will be."

Guan Liangzhe: "I won't go. I'd rather die than go!"

Gu Beihuai started looking for things in the house. Since the production team arranged this place for them, it certainly wasn't meant for sightseeing.

With so many furnishings, there must be some use for them.

Guan Liangzhe was very happy to stay here a while longer. That small building across looked too creepy.

Nan Xiangwan followed the two people wandering around, but kept reminding Guan Liangzhe about the secret meeting from time to time, nagging him until his ears turned calloused!

......

On the other side, Lan Tianyou was really about to cry.

The eyes outside the coffin kept staring at him, staring and staring until he felt tingles on his scalp. Gradually he got used to it.

Lan Tianyou: "Aren't...aren't you tired?"

Bride in Red: "Save me, save me."

Lan Tianyou heaved a sigh of relief: "So you can talk! You scared me to death!"

Bride in Red: "Save me, let's...let's swap bodies, alright?"

Lan Tianyou: "Swap? Swap what?"

Bride in Red: "You take my place and get married."

Lan Tianyou: "No! No no no! That's not appropriate!"

Bride in Red: "Hurry up and come out. We'll swap clothes. I'll lie in there and you go get married!"

Lan Tianyou: "......"

Comments:

- Chatting huh?

- Let me slowly type out a question mark.

- Wait a minute everyone! That voice!

- Ah!!! It's Zhu Sha!!! From Destiny Girl Group!!!

- The silly guys' CP flag is raised high and won't fall! The silly guys' CP makes an appearance!

- Forget the silly guys for now. Zhu Sha wants to swap bodies with Lan Tianyou!

......

Amidst the barrage of frenzied scrolling comments, Director Hua Yuanwu stroked his own face.

As expected, several of the Destiny Girl Group members' voices were too distinctive. Their identities were recognized prematurely. He wanted to hide them for as long as possible!

As for the subsequent plot, hehe!

......

While madly bantering lines with Zhu Sha, Lan Tianyou's hand accidentally touched something. Then there was a "click" sound.

The first lock that he had been desperately trying to open this whole time suddenly opened, just like that.

Lan Tianyou: "???"

Zhu Sha: "???"

The sound of the lock opening made both of them freeze at the same time. Zhu Sha even almost forgot about her next task.

Lan Tianyou was even more confused. The first lock that he had struggled half the day trying to open, opened after just touching it a couple times with his finger. If that wasn't creepy he didn't know what was.

Zhu Sha, who was playing the role of the bride in red, took a step back. She started entering the next critical process.

She was now worried the lock opened too fast for the plot to keep up!

Comments:

- I'm laughing to death! Zhu Sha departed as quick as flying!

- Zhu Sha is confused too. It can still open the lock like that?

- But the dialogue between the two is really funny!

- Slow down Lan Tianyou. How did he swiftly open three locks in the blink of an eye?

......

By this time, Lan Tianyou seemed to have grasped the trick to opening locks. He opened three locks consecutively just by randomly twisting them.

He was just as bewildered himself. He just twisted them randomly and they all opened, heh!

............

While Lan Tianyou was alone opening locks over there, Gu Beihuai had already collected all the usable clues over here.

Guan Liangzhe found a bunch of odd things in the house, like garlic and green onions etc, all of which he hung around his neck!

Nan Xiangwan found a hat and casually put it on.

After the three tidied up, they set off towards the small building.

The moonlight in the yard was truly beautiful. If he didn't know this was a horror variety show, Guan Liangzhe would have gladly stayed to appreciate the night view.

But at this time, even just walking on the small path in the yard frightened him immensely!

Especially Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai's actions at everything they saw made things scarier.

Nan Xiangwan: "There's a well here."

Gu Beihuai: "Let's go take a look. Can we climb down?"

Nan Xiangwan: "There's water. I'll jump in for a dip."

Gu Beihuai: "A real well?"

Nan Xiangwan: "Is this the kind of well people jump into and die in novels?"

Gu Beihuai: "It should be. The ghost bride probably died here. I wonder if there are any clues at the bottom of the well. Let me see if I can drain the water."

Guan Liangzhe: "......"

Guan Liangzhe: "That's enough out of you two!"

He really couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly to stop them.

Draining water, investigating wells ——

Act normal!

This is way too scary!

After inspecting the equipment in the yard, Gu Beihuai eventually gave up on draining the water.

It wasn't realistic. There was nothing to drain it with.

Nan Xiangwan still refused to give up. She felt there must be some mechanism, that if a switch was pressed the water level would drop and the like.

The two fiddled around the well for a long time until Guan Liangzhe really couldn't stand it anymore. He forcibly dragged the two troublers away before letting the matter rest.

Just by crossing the small yard to get to the small building, they had to face the problem of Guan Liangzhe secretly meeting with Bride Bai.

Guan Liangzhe started feeling afraid again!

The door on the first floor of the small building across was half-ajar. Inside, hazy light fluctuated, seemingly like some horror was about to pop its head out.

Guan Liangzhe started trembling at the doorway. He frantically brandished his garlic necklace while chanting something.

With her night vision ability, Nan Xiangwan easily discerned the interior.

Gu Beihuai: "What do you see?"

Nan Xiangwan: "A huge bed! Like, huge huge!"

Gu Beihuai: "Those traditional canopy beds from ancient times right."

Nan Xiangwan: "Dunno. Anyway it's massive."

Gu Beihuai: "Let's find some lights first and go take a look inside."

Guan Liangzhe: "Weren't you saying this was ancient times? Would there be lights?"

Gu Beihuai: "Candles."

Before his voice faded, Nan Xiangwan already picked up a candle.

Waving a candle, she lit candles on the walls and tables just by tapping them. Very quickly the whole room was illuminated by candlelight.

Guan Liangzhe: "Must you make it so realistic? Production team, have a heart! Lighting candles makes it scarier! Can't you just use lights?"

Gu Beihuai: "The candlelight ambience is indeed better."

Guan Liangzhe: "So what's next?"

Gu Beihuai: "Lie down."

Guan Liangzhe: "Huh?"

Gu Beihuai: "You lie on the bed. The clues we found earlier in the back house hinted some mechanism is on the bed."

Guan Liangzhe: "Why do I have to be the one lying down?"

Gu Beihuai: "You're the gentleman here. That means you're the owner of this place. Who else would lie down if not you?"

Guan Liangzhe: "......"

Ah! Why was he singled out for the solo mission?!
