Excessive ferocity due to caution

The man in the fox mask's words plunged almost everyone present into a prolonged state of shock.

If that's the case...

Doesn't that mean everything they went through before was their own fault?

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"You're lying!"

Some people couldn't accept the result and roared at the man wearing the fox mask.

But the other party wasn't angry.

He simply said:

"Whether you believe it or not, that's the truth."

"You have thirty minutes to rest, and then we will begin filming the second movie."

"I must warn you, the second movie is a mystery-solving supernatural film, which is extremely difficult and has a very high mortality rate. If you cannot put aside your past grievances and cooperate sincerely, then what awaits you is likely to be total annihilation."

After the man in the fox mask finished speaking, the projection disappeared.

The remaining people stood there, looking at each other, and for a moment fell into an eerie silence.

Until an unnatural voice rang out:

"Damn it, this is so weird! I never chose the third option, so why are you being targeted by it?!"

"It was all the movie's doing!"

"You want revenge on me without even knowing what happened? That's outrageous!"

He had barely finished speaking when other voices echoed him, their tones aggrieved and vehement:

"Exactly! We're all just kind-hearted ordinary people from the capital, how could we possibly choose option three?"

"Yeah, yeah! This stupid game almost made me suffer an injustice! It's absolutely disgusting!"

"Hey, it was all a misunderstanding!"

"Yes, it's all a misunderstanding! You don't trust my character? Would I choose option three? How could that be!"

"It's obvious that everyone here is of high moral character and wouldn't do anything to harm others for personal gain. Would you do that?"

"I can't, can you?"

"I don't know either."

"..."

Amidst the clamor and shouting, everyone pounded their chests, spittle flying, their hearts filled with fervor and a sense of justice.

Zhao Yi looked at these people, who seemed to be about to take out the urns containing the ashes of their ancestors to swear an oath, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

They know how to have fun.

After resting for 30 minutes, everyone reconciled.

Originally bitter enemies, they have now become half-brothers and sisters.

But Zhao Yi knew that no matter whether the man in the fox mask came forward to explain, no one could trust each other anymore.

Consider others as you would yourself.

They are well aware of what they have done, so naturally they don't trust others.

Even if their elimination had nothing to do with the people in the room before them, the other party must have chosen option three and wanted to harm them.

The reconciliation at this moment was merely because the man in the fox mask gave them a way out.

After all, they will need each other for the filming of the second movie.

After the break ended, a huge projection screen reappeared in the sky.

The shooting rules for the second film were written on the screen.

...

[Primary Colors - Shadow]

[Participants: 8-10 people from adjacent room numbers]

[Synopsis: Supernatural Dungeon (Unraveled)]

[Hint 1: A ghost can only hunt one person at a time. After hunting nine people, it will no longer actively seek out targets.]

[Tip 2: Pay attention to the type of ghost.]

[Filming target: Survive for three days]

...

After the rules for filming the second movie were explained, everyone immediately transformed into pillars of light and disappeared from the spot...

...

The interrogation room was dimly lit.

There are 14 people sitting here.

Zhao Yi was also among them.

Of the 14 people, 9 were actors in the film.

Zhao Yi knew two acquaintances among them.

Zong Haisheng and Liao Hongqiao.

The two sat together, their expressions a mixture of nervousness and surprise.

Because they saw Zhao Yi.

The filming of the movie at the 2188 Building left a deep impression on them regarding Zhao Yi.

For the two of them, Zhao Yi was not just someone who existed in the public opinion of the capital; they were people who had personally experienced the terror of Zhao Yi!

The remaining five people were men and women dressed in police uniforms, but were not police officers.

The middle-aged man in the lead, wearing a trench coat and smoking a pipe, sounded somewhat melancholy.

"In short, that's roughly how it is."

"The eleven of you went on an adventure to Cursed Mountain a while ago, but you were attacked by a terrible evil spirit. Two of your companions died at its hands, and although you managed to escape, your memories of that time have been erased by a mysterious force..."

"But the evil spirit didn't let you off the hook. It chased after you from the cursed mountain, determined to kill all of you who had disturbed it!"

"Our mission this time is to protect you for three days!"

"The evil spirit will leave on its own after three days."

The middle-aged man in the trench coat glanced around at everyone present as he finished speaking:

"I know that it's hard to convince you with something this bizarre..."

"So we've collected a lot of photos and information here."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

The fat man near the interrogation room door immediately placed a pile of scattered photos and documents on the table.

The crowd gathered together and quickly examined the area.

During this time, Zhao Yi asked the middle-aged man in the trench coat:

"What is your surname?"

man:

"No need for formalities, my surname is Zhang."

You can call me Zhang Dapao.

Zhao Yi quickly verified the authenticity of the information and photos, and then asked him:

"What do you know about the evil spirits that are hunting us down?"

Zhang Dapao and his companions exchanged glances and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The NPCs in this mission seem to be quite intelligent.

This is good, as it saves them a lot of time and energy to explain.

After all, every minute wasted increases the danger these NPCs face.

Once the evil spirits find them, they could strike at any moment!

If all these NPCs die, their mission rewards will be reset to zero, meaning they risked their lives and made a wasted trip!

"We only know how to hunt down evil spirits, and our abilities are severely limited."

"We brought a lot of exorcism tools with us this time. Evil spirits shouldn't dare to get too close to us, so as long as you stay with us, your safety will be greatly improved!"

The fat man next to the man in the trench coat said this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights above everyone's heads suddenly crackled twice.

They looked up at the flickering, dim light bulb, and a sudden, extremely uneasy feeling welled up inside them...

zizi——

zizi——

Snapped!

The lights went out.

The room was immediately plunged into complete darkness...

P.S.: Goodnight, my darlings!
