The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 352

The program team did a decent job in protecting the privacy of the guests. They put up a black screen when Guan Liangzhe was changing clothes.

The barrage of comments also reached a peak of excitement at this point, with all kinds of shameless words like "Want to see!" "Show it quickly!"

Although Guan Liangzhe is already 29, hosts need to keep up appearances too. With regular workout, he has kept himself in good shape.

Not letting the audience feast their eyes this time is quite a pity!

Guan Liangzhe himself was completely oblivious about this kind of privacy or black screen. He even forgot that he was filming a show!

Without saying another word, he took off his clothes and started changing!

The NPC hiding behind the corridor mirrors averted their eyes, thinking to themselves that this guest is really aggressive.

Changing clothes is normal, but doing it facing the mirror!

Is he trying to make sure the NPC can see or what?

The NPC became speechless yet regretful, thinking he's eccentric for coming to film the show drunk.

After Guan Liangzhe finished changing, the program team switched the black screen back to the live footage.

The barrage quickly filled up with words like "What a pity!" "Replay it!"

The audience was thrilled!

Guan Liangzhe was now wearing clean clothes. He lowered his head to pick up his expensive suit, planning to fold it nicely to take away.

Although the high-end clothes were ruined by the paint, Guan Liangzhe couldn't bear to throw it away. Why can't he take it back as a souvenir?

Just as he was seriously folding the clothes, the NPC behind the corridor mirrors started taking action.

Bang!

The mirror shattered and a ghostly hand reached out, accompanied by an eerie atmosphere.

Guan Liangzhe: "Woah!"

He threw away the clothes in his hands and ran out!

The high-end clothes he treasured a second ago was thrown into the toilet bowl the next second.

The NPC shattered the mirror and started making all kinds of loud noises in the bathroom.

Guan Liangzhe ran out in panic and slammed the door shut!

Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia saw this scene and immediately had a bad feeling.

Guan Liangzhe: "There's a ghost!"

After saying that, he froze for a bit. Huh, why does this storyline seem so familiar?

Wait, let him try to recall...

With the high alcohol content in his blood, his thinking ability is limited right now.

So after racking his brains for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out!

Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia both turned pale. They exchanged a look and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Next, both of them looked towards the bed.

Sure enough, the wall beside it started slowly rising, with mechanical sounds drowned out by the noises from the bathroom.

At this point, Guan Liangzhe also looked towards the bed, and the three of them clearly saw the ghost lying behind the rising wall!

The trio screamed again and ran out of the room once more, reenacting the chaotic fleeing scene.

Like three little ducks, running away swiftly!

The screen filled up with barrage comments like "Hahaha!" Some people also tried to analyze how to solve this stage.

They can't keep repeating this right?

There must be a solution.

After running for a while, the three found a relatively safe place to hide.

Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia started deducing logically. Based on the current situation, it seemed unsolvable and too difficult for them.

Meanwhile, Guan Liangzhe was bawling by the side: "I went through this twice! No, three times?"

Then he got confused again. How many times exactly?

Damn, the alcohol is messing up his memories!

The two ladies ignored his complaints and discussed the solution intensely.

Yun Qian: "Why are we so scared of the mirror?"

Although they have run out of the room now, they were still hiding to avoid the huge mirror, afraid that some scary scene might emerge from it again.

But this question made Zhou Wenxia freeze, before having an inspiration!

Zhou Wenxia: "We were sealed inside the mirror, so we were tricked by the ghost in the mirror. But based on the clues we found last round and logical inference of the plot, the ghost was originally also sealed."

Yun Qian: "That's right, the ghost broke through its seal, that's why it started haunting."

Zhou Wenxia slapped herself on the forehead: "The mirror! The mirror!"

Saying so, she stood up and started searching boxes and cabinets.

Yun Qian also realized: "We show the mirror to it, and it will get sucked inside right?"

Zhou Wenxia: "It must be so. Let's try!"

Guan Liangzhe: "..."

What are you talking about? Why can't he understand any of it?

After searching for a while, the two ladies couldn't find any mirrors at the scene, other than that huge floor-length mirror.

Yun Qian: "Smash it? Broken shards can work too right?"

Zhou Wenxia fell silent for a bit, then said: "I know now, we have to go back to that room!"

Yun Qian: "The mirror in the bathroom!"

Zhou Wenxia: "Yes! The ghost would break through the mirror to scare us, so we'll pick up shards from the floor!"

The two got excited and hurried back into the room.

Guan Liangzhe followed behind the two ladies. To be honest, he really didn't want to return to that room again. But he was more afraid of being alone than that.

When the trio returned to the room, everything was restored as before like the program team's staff expected. They have done quite a lot of repetitive work coming and going.

With the initial deduction in mind, the three came before the mirror in the bathroom once again, Watching as the intact mirror.

Sure enough, not long after, the NPC broke through the mirror and started its hauntings!

Even after multiple times, Guan Liangzhe still screamed in fright and wanted to run on instinct.

But Zhou Wenxia acted swiftly to pick up a piece of broken glass shards before running.

With the crucial mirror shard obtained, Yun Qian blocked the bathroom door. The sounds from within continued.

Next, the wall rose up.

Zhou Wenxia held the broken mirror shard ready. The instant the ghost's face turned towards them, she thrusted her hand forward!

The mirror shard pushed right up to the ghost's face!

The NPC actor playing ghost let out a miserable shriek, acting it out perfectly.

Then all the lights blacked out with a crack.

The trio hugged each other tightly and screamed in the darkness. The noises in the bathroom also stopped abruptly!

Soon, the lights turned back on.

Now, the wall was still lifted, revealing that dark passageway behind it. But the ghost lying there has disappeared.

Guan Liangzhe: "Holy crap! Awesome!"

Yun Qian: "Wenxia is amazing!"

Zhou Wenxia: "So next we have to crawl into this passageway right?"

Yun Qian: "Let me go check the bathroom."

She tried to open the bathroom door but realized it was locked from inside. So the passage behind the wall is where they must head next.

After confirming that, the trio entered one by one.

At this point, Guan Liangzhe didn't care about appearances anymore. He wanted to be sandwiched between the two ladies because he was afraid.

Zhou Wenxia went first, Guan Liangzhe in the middle, and Yun Qian last.

The three crawled forward slowly into the dark passage, unsure of its length or where it leads to...

.........

Elsewhere.

Using his AI, Gu Beihuai found the password to unlock the boxes. After opening all of them, inside each box contained different body parts of a wooden doll.

The head, hands, legs and body.

Put together, it formed a complete palm-sized wooden doll.

Lan Tianyou: "The eyes are creepily on the back of its head!"

Nan XiangWan pointed to a small doll-shaped recess on the uneven wall surface: “Here, here, the size perfectly fits this doll."

Gu Beihuai took the human-shaped wooden doll and placed it into the recess.

Indeed, it fit seamlessly like it belonged there.

The moment the doll went in, the wall next to it slid open sideways, revealing a pitch black passageway!
