Chapter 114 Why are you suddenly looking at Lin Siyao? Is there something on your mind?
The private island is not large and was not fully developed before it was abandoned.
Nestled amidst layers of dense forest, there stands only one sturdy mansion built of stone.
The island is located in a rather remote area at sea. According to Director Wu, even locals rarely know that the island exists.
Therefore, the group, who set off at dawn, did not arrive at the island until nearly ten o'clock.
The scorching sun was high in the sky, and its intensity was further amplified by the reflection of the seawater and sand, making it even more dazzling and scorching.
Even though Lin Sui was fully armed by the group, with a sun hat, sunglasses, and sun protection clothing, and Li Ye holding a parasol over his head.
Even after standing in the sun for just a short while, Lin Sui couldn't help but look listless and pale.
Si Xingran held a small fan in her hand and blew it directly at Lin Sui: "Sister Lin, is Master Lin still online? If not, shall we go back?"
"I told you you couldn't participate in this episode, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're the one suffering!" Lu Xiang's expression was particularly unpleasant as she blew a small fan at Lin Sui.
Lin Sui waved his hand listlessly: "It's nothing, my heart says it will change its name to Pig Strong from now on."
Lu Xiang: "..."
Before filming began, Director Wu gave Lin Sui a heads-up, telling her that the adventure would take place on an island.
She knew the director was considering her health and wanted her to decide for herself whether or not to continue participating.
In the past, she would have refused without hesitation, since she valued her life.
But after she suspected there might be another force at play, she had to come and confirm it herself.
However, the current situation almost stumped her.
If a place with not a trace of yin energy is haunted, then we really need to get closer to science.
Suddenly, someone nearby asked curiously, "Director, how did the news of the ghost story get out of here, which is so far from the mainland?"
Lin Sui looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, thin young man.
From a distance, he looks like a bamboo pole, with messy, medium-length hair casually tied behind his head, giving him a somewhat slovenly and颓废 appearance.
This is a new guest on this episode, named Gao Yuanjiu.
At this moment, the group was resting under the shade of a tree on the outskirts of the island.
Seeing that some guests were asking questions, Director Wu simply picked up a megaphone and began to explain the background to everyone.
"This island is called Yunyu (Cloud and Rain) because its shape resembles a cloud raining down. The owner of the island is unknown. Three months ago, several local fishermen went out to sea but got lost and their whereabouts remain unknown..."
After that, nearly twenty more fishermen went missing one after another.
This incident caused a great uproar in the area, and people were filled with fear. Most of the fishermen who made a living by fishing dared not go out to sea anymore.
Until half a month ago, several more fishermen went missing.
Just when they thought it was another case of someone disappearing without a trace, three days later, one person actually returned alive.
This is the first survivor in two and a half months.
According to his account, on their return journey, their boat first encountered dense fog, then an undercurrent, which carried them to the shore of Yunyu Island.
They initially thought it was just a deserted island and planned to wait on the ship until the fog cleared before continuing their return journey, but something on the island seemed to be attracting them.
Once they arrived on the island, they discovered that there was a mansion in the center that occupied nearly half of the island's area.
At that time, everyone else was marveling at the grandeur of the mansion, but the survivor only felt that the house looked eerie no matter how he looked at it.
He didn't dare go inside, so he returned to the ship and made do for the night.
But the next day, he waited until almost noon and his colleague still hadn't returned.
He had no choice but to go and look for them, but the mansion was too big. He searched for an entire afternoon but couldn't find a single person.
This made him think of the fishermen who had gone missing before, and he felt both scared and panicked.
As darkness approached, and fearing another thick fog, he had no choice but to set sail and leave.
The background story was too long, so Director Wu took a big gulp of water before continuing: "After that, the local authorities launched a search and rescue operation, sending over a thousand people who landed on the island more than a hundred times, but still found nothing. That's when they asked our program team for help, no, to be precise..."
At this point, he looked at Lin Sui and said, "They are asking for your help, Master Lin. They hope you can help them find out the truth and find their missing relatives and friends, even if it's just a corpse."
Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Lin Sui.
Only Lin Siyao kept her head down, and when no one was watching, she curled her lips in disdain.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Sui calmly nodded, then sincerely asked, "Shouldn't Director Wu pay me a commission?"
"What commission?" Director Wu was taken aback.
Si Xingran raised an eyebrow: "Our Master Lin brought you a business deal, shouldn't you pay him a commission?"
"We also need a high-temperature allowance." Yu Cinian pulled out a huge banana leaf from somewhere, disinfected it, and then casually fanned Lin Sui with it.
Standing beside Lin Sui, Lu Xiang said irritably, "In the end, this matter still depends on our Sui Sui, so we have to pay more!"
"Mmm!" Tang Xi nodded emphatically with a serious expression, not forgetting to tug at Lin Sui's clothes.
Li Ye held up his umbrella without saying a word, just staring coldly at Director Wu.
Director Wu: "..." Is money-grubbing contagious?
[Hahaha, even our fairy-like sister has earned a good reputation, and business is coming to her automatically. This commission is definitely worth it.]
[Hehe, let's stick together, beautiful ladies, let's stick together! [winking emoji][drooling emoji]]
Did I miss something? They seem even closer this time, their yogurt vibe is really strong!
[Thanks to the handsome guy and beautiful girl for curing my strabismus! I can see that my older brothers and sisters are all staring straight ahead.]
[Speaking of which, since they specifically sought Lin Sui's help, what business is it of anyone else? Why don't we all just leave and film the six of them?]
[Hilarious! Since last episode, I've only been watching it as a group variety show featuring the six of them.]
Director Wu clearly realized this as well, and thus changed the rules again.
There are still two teams, but instead of drawing lots, Lin Sui and his group of six are directly grouped together.
The remaining people formed their own team and challenged Lin Sui and his group.
Win the challenge and your prize money will double.
If the challenge fails, double the prize money goes to Lin Sui and his team.
Double!
Forty million!
In an instant, Lin Sui's eyes lit up, her dizziness subsided, her stomachache disappeared, and she was full of energy, eager to take action immediately.
Seeing this, Li Ye and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily put aside their idea of killing the director.
Director Wu, who suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, scratched the back of his head in a daze.
Why do I feel like I just escaped a disaster?
"That sounds interesting, Brother Xuchi, are you confident?" Lin Siyao asked with a smile, looking up.
Duan Xuchi, however, looked away with a cold expression and ignored her.
Lin Siyao frowned almost imperceptibly: "Brother Xuchi?"
Duan Xuchi remained silent.
He glanced at the surrounding cameras, then his gaze fell on a more secluded corner in the distance, and he gestured to Lin Siyao to follow.
Once he was out of the crowd and away from the cameras, he turned around and demanded, "Why did you lie to me?"
"Liar?" Lin Siyao's heart skipped a beat, but she looked confused.
Duan Xuchi said in a deep voice, "You said before that Lin Sui and your adoptive parents were a happy family, and that you were the only outsider. But I watched the replay of that family reunion live broadcast. They were not like you at all. In fact, your adoptive parents deliberately switched them at birth because Lin Sui has a heart condition, right?"
really……
Lin Siyao thought that the system was right; her lie was too clumsy and could be easily exposed.
But so what? The system also said that she is the savior chosen by Heaven and the only one who can correct the plot.
Even if her system is a bit ugly and scary, it doesn't change that fact.
If she so desires, both Duan Xuchi and Yu Cinian will become hers.
This was also what the system assured her.
Thinking of this, Lin Siyao smiled confidently: "I'm sorry, Brother Xuchi, I lied to you, but you're so upright and kind, you definitely won't blame me, right?"
Duan Xuchi frowned, about to ask her what this had to do with whether he was upright or not, when he suddenly felt a blank in his mind.
When he came to his senses, he couldn't remember what he wanted to say. He just subconsciously looked at Lin Siyao's smiling face and secretly admired her strength.
Having just experienced the upheavals and blows in her life, she quickly composed herself and bravely forged ahead.
Such resilient girls are the rarest of all.
Duan Xuchi's goodwill towards her increased exponentially, and he couldn't help but reach out and pat her head: "You're right."
At the same time, Lin Sui keenly sensed an unusual fluctuation in the surrounding atmosphere.
She was familiar with this aura; it was the same aura of an evil god she had sensed from Yu Tianlang.
Lin Sui calmly scanned every face present, her gaze finally settling on Lin Siyao.
The answer wasn't too surprising.
The person behind the scenes had two ghost-raising sites destroyed in succession, and since they couldn't kill her, they had no choice but to start using the female lead as a pawn.
However, Lin Siyao's aura was so faint that it was almost imperceptible. In just a few steps, it had completely disappeared, leaving no trace.
If her master hadn't specifically trained her to be sensitive to this kind of aura, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.
It seems this incident is going to be somewhat tricky.
In particular, just now, Lin Sui also saw that the faces of the three newly joined guests were all shrouded in an aura of death.
Apart from Ko Won-gu, the other two are young women around thirty years old.
A girl named Ding Xiaoxue was wearing long sleeves and trousers even in the sweltering heat, looking timid and cowardly.
The other one, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with her hair in a low ponytail and frameless glasses, looked old-fashioned and serious; her name was Wang Meilan.
Lin Sui couldn't help but calculate.
Unfortunately, as always, she couldn't figure out who was involved in their deaths.
At that moment, she heard Xu Haize ask in a cold voice, "Director, are you sure this island is haunted?"
Lin Sui looked up but couldn't see Xu Haize.
Her view was blocked by Yu Cinian, who was looking at Xu Haize with an inexplicably excited smile: "He has such a thick health bar. He can recover so quickly even after being hit like that... I really want to find a chance to cut him open and take a look."
Lin Sui: “…”
The substitute doll shielded Xu Haize from a fatal blow, so his injuries were insignificant and healed quickly.
"Of course," Director Wu replied to Xu Haize's question.
Xu Haize: "But there is no yin energy here, which means there are no ghosts in this place at all."
"That means this so-called haunting was probably man-made," Lin Siyao replied with a smile. "After all, while ghosts exist in this world, there aren't that many that are everywhere. I think there are more malicious people with ulterior motives than ghosts. What do you think, Xu Chi?"
Duan Xuchi nodded: "Indeed, sometimes, people are more terrifying than ghosts."
【Huh? No ghosts? Oh no, half the fun is gone.】
[It seems like our darling Yao Yao is back to her old self! Looking forward to her classic mystery!]
[No, I'm afraid she'll break down again and cause me to get rabies.]
Director Wu didn't say anything about their reasoning, but instead asked Lin Sui, "What does Master Lin think?"
“There is indeed no yin energy on the island,” Lin Sui said, then changed the subject, “but that doesn’t mean there are no ghosts.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Haize gave a mocking smile: "Wherever there are ghosts, there will be yin energy. Even if it's a newly born ghost that has just died, Master Lin, you can't possibly not understand such a simple principle?"
"Oh, looks like you know a lot?" Si Xingran raised an eyebrow. "So you weren't the one who got crushed by Fang Jiayi?"
Xu Haize's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly.
What happened last time was a lifelong disgrace for him. After returning, he not only failed to gain followers but also lost them, and was ridiculed by his fellow streamers on the platform.
This time, he was determined to avenge himself no matter what.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lin Siyao took the initiative to smooth things over: "Alright, whether it's ghosts or human intervention, it's just our speculation at the moment, so let's not make things unpleasant over such a small matter."
Xu Haize snorted and turned his head away.
Si Xingran looked at Lin Siyao strangely, only to see Lin Siyao smile at him gracefully.
Lin Sui's eyelids twitched when he saw this scene.
Oh no, the female lead now has a cheat code; will her charm that makes her irresistible start to work?
Lin Sui quickly leaned closer to Si Xingran and asked in a low voice, "You suddenly looked at Lin Siyao, is there something you're thinking?"
"Yes." Si Xingran nodded seriously.
Lin Suixin's heart skipped a beat: "What?"
"How come this ordinary girl has become so cunning again after just a few days?" Si Xingran pouted, unable to understand. "And she's smiling like that, is she trying to scam me?"
Lin Sui: "...Very good, please continue to keep your heart as firm as iron."
As long as his heart is strong and unwavering, the villainous path of unrequited love can't catch up with him.
[No, Yao Yao was just trying to help, how did she become a laughingstock? Si Xingran talking to a girl like that is so ungentlemanly!]
[Is this considered lacking in manners? I can do even worse. That infatuated smile of hers—she's so obviously a smitten man that even Si Xingran would want to date her.]
After resting, the production crew set up camp on the outskirts, and Lin Siyao took the initiative to act as the team leader, leading them towards the center of the island.
Before leaving, she subconsciously glanced at Lin Sui and saw Lu Xiang looking displeased: "Of course Sui Sui should be carried by me. You stinky men should stay out of the fairy's business!"
“So what if he’s a stinky man? We have broader shoulders, which will make Master Lin more comfortable.” Si Xingran said lazily, but without giving an inch.
Looking at Lin Sui, who was surrounded by everyone, Lin Siyao couldn't help but think of something the system had told her.
