Chapter 1364 Entertainment Program (Meow Rolling with its Tail)

House of Death.

This western-style house located in the forest in the suburbs had long been in ruins. But today, the originally dead silent area was once again filled with noise.

“This is the House of Death.”

After getting off the car, the host frowned slightly and stared at the huge, dilapidated mansion in front of her. As the host of "Exploring the Suicide Sanctuary", she has been to many suicide sanctuaries. But this place gave her a feeling that was obviously more weird than those places. It was not just simply gloomy, but also had an indescribable weirdness...

The host shook his head and then looked at his assistant.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here..."

In response to the host's question, the assistant answered in a low voice, and at the same time she looked around uneasily. Seeing her assistant's restless look, the host also frowned in dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No, who is that person?"

The assistant whispered as he pointed to the side. The host looked in the direction the assistant pointed and saw a tall and burly man standing next to the director. He was wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses and looked ferocious. Just standing there made people afraid to approach.

"I, I don't know either."

Seeing that man, the host was also shocked. As a senior host of the TV station, she certainly knew the unspoken relationship between the entertainment industry and the mafia. But this variety show is not very popular, and it has never been related to the mafia?

"Could this be some gang's territory?"

"It's not impossible... I'll ask the director."

As she spoke, the host took out her cell phone and sent a text message to the director. The director was obviously not far away, but she would rather send the text message here than go closer.

"Ding dong."

Not long after, the director's reply came, and the host was relieved when he saw the reply text message.

"Huh...Nothing. The director said that this is to ensure the safety of our filming, so he hired a bodyguard."

"That's it."

The assistant also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the host's answer.

"Indeed, we should have a bodyguard, otherwise we would always be on tenterhooks, how terrible."

Although the program "Exploring the Suicide Sanctuary" is very popular with the audience because of its curiosity, and it is also a regular variety show on TV. However, the crew members all know that this job is not easy. Going deep into the no-man's land and dealing with corpses is fine, and you may be a little scared at the beginning. But after doing it for a long time, you will become numb.

But the problem is that the places they go to explore are places where others choose to commit suicide.

We also often encounter people who commit suicide or group suicide.

Then the problem arises, when faced with such people, the crew members dare not provoke them.

  After all, if he is not afraid of death, how could he be afraid of killing people?

In fact, when the crew first started making this program, they encountered a similar situation. The host at the time even stupidly approached and asked the suicidal office worker, "Why did you commit suicide? How do you feel now? Have you ever considered what your family will think after you die?"

For the crew, these problems are not a problem. After all, this kind of offensiveness is what entertainment programs want. In addition, when the Japanese face the camera, no matter how much hatred they have in their hearts, they will maintain a minimum level of decency on the surface.

But they didn't expect that this office worker was so provoked by the host that he took out a knife from his briefcase and stabbed the host!

The crew was so scared that they almost ran away, and the unlucky host was stabbed several times. After the incident was exposed, he was fired. Even the program was about to be banned, but fortunately it was saved and a new host was replaced. After the exploration and mystery style, it was relieved.

But after that, the crew finally discovered the most terrifying thing about these suicide sites.

That is—there is no law at all!

Although these places are all in China, they are definitely under the jurisdiction of the law. But as mentioned before, if people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of the law?

In fact, the crew even found a village in the forest. The people inside came here because they tried to commit suicide. However, after coming here, they did not die for various reasons. Instead, they gathered together and became a group of lawless criminals!

The crew had a narrow escape that time and almost died in there!

From then on, the crew knew how brutal humans could become after being stripped of their civilized cloak.

To be honest, some people want to quit their jobs, but they have no choice—the salary is too high.

  Stop when you’ve made enough money!

This is the thought of many crew members, including the host. Of course, as to when to stop making enough money, that is another matter.

I used to complain about my superiors being stingy and not sending a bodyguard for such a dangerous job. But this time, they actually sent a bodyguard, and he looked like he could fight... Well, I feel much more relieved now.

The bodyguard was none other than Duanmu Huai. Through Huangmao's extensive social network, Duanmu Huai successfully infiltrated the crew as a bodyguard. At this moment, he was also standing behind the director, carefully looking at the dilapidated house of death in front of him.

From the outside, this mansion looks very old, but it is not as dilapidated as everyone thinks. On the contrary, it looks more like an abandoned mansion than a suicide sanctuary known as the House of Death.

However, what was strange was that when Duanmu Huai used his own power to test the House of Death, he was surprised to find that there was no breath of the Old Ones here at all, as if this was just a simple abandoned house.

How is this going?

Duanmu Huai couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, he would only know what the situation was after he went in.

At the same time, outside the House of Death, the crew was ready.

Like every episode, the crew invited several guests, including an old professor who specializes in local history, an actress and a crosstalk artist. The old professor will be responsible for the introduction, while the actress and the crosstalk artist will go deep into the mansion with the crew to explore the secrets.

Of course, strictly speaking, there's nothing much to explore. It's just filming the rooms in the mansion and the actors looking scared. If a dead body was found, the ratings would naturally be higher.

Yes, this is also one of the highlights of this program. If they film a corpse, they will film the whole process from discovery to reporting to the police, satisfying the curiosity of many viewers. At the same time, this approach has also been recognized by some viewers, who believe that it is a good choice for the program team to allow those who originally died to be properly buried.

  As for whether any of them were directed or acted by themselves - you must be kidding. You have to direct and act in a variety show using a corpse?

This is too hardcore!

After everything was ready, everyone walked into the mansion, and the host faced the camera and started working.

"Dear viewers, what you are seeing now is a mansion located in the suburbs of City N. It is called the House of Death. The reason why it has such an unlucky title is because of the mansion itself. According to historical records, the first owner of this mansion committed suicide by taking poison with his family not long after the mansion was built. Because of this, the mansion was vacant for a long time. It was not until the 80s that it was bought by a wealthy businessman. However, not long after that, the wealthy businessman and his family were also found dead in the house. Since then, the name of the House of Death has spread, and it has even been called the cemetery of the dead. Many people have been attracted by the rumors and come here to commit suicide..."

Having said this, the host paused and then turned to the old professor.

"What do you think of this, sir?"

"Well... from my perspective, it was just an unfortunate accident."

Facing the camera, the old professor also gave his answer.

"An unfortunate accident?"

"Yes, according to historical records, the first owner of the mansion had a conflict with his family over money. His son conspired to poison everyone in order to seize the family property, but something went wrong and everyone was poisoned, which led to the so-called mass suicide. But in fact, this was not suicide, but an accidental murder."

"I see."

After hearing the old professor's explanation, the host nodded.

"What about its second owner? This is why everyone believes that the House of the Dead is cursed. Moreover, the cause of death of the second owner is clearly recorded. It was indeed suicide."

“Hahaha, this is easier to understand.”

In response to the host's question, the old professor laughed.

"Because of the financial environment at that time, as everyone knows, many capital tycoons lost all their money, and many committed suicide by jumping off buildings or burning charcoal. This family was just one of them. At that time, their company went bankrupt and owed a large debt. In the end, they chose to commit suicide out of desperation. Therefore, I said it was just a coincidence."

"I see. It seems this is really an unfortunate coincidence."

"Yes."

"Okay, CUT!"

After the two finished their conversation, the director raised his hand to signal the end of filming.

"The next step is the exploration phase. Group 2, get ready, and... Mr. Duanmu."

As he spoke, the director looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Please keep an eye on them to avoid any accidents."

"Okay, I know."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the western-style house in front of him.

Indeed, if what the old professor said was correct, then everything that happened in this house was just an unfortunate coincidence.

But the question is...is this really a coincidence?
