Chapter 1643: Hotel Terror (Tomorrow is another snowy day)
"…………………"

In the guest room late at night, Ruby and the other two lay on the tatami, but none of them could fall asleep.

"…MEM, Hehua, are you still awake?"

"Um………"

"I can't sleep either..."

Hearing Ruby's cry, the others whispered in response.

They had been shooting for a whole day and should have gone to bed a long time ago. In fact, they were indeed quite tired, but they just couldn't fall asleep.

The reason is simple, that is, what happened before was too weird.

After they arrived at the entrance and met the staff, the lights in the hotel came on. They heard from the hotel staff that the power was tripped. After that, the three of them followed the direction they remembered and found the room they entered when the power went out. As a result, the three of them were surprised to find that the Japanese-style room was completely locked and not open at all. Moreover, the guest room was the Kiku-no-Ma that the landlady had told them not to approach before.

This made them quite panicked and uneasy, and they hurried back to their room to rest.

"Tell me, have we done something wrong?"

Ruby whispered.

"The boss lady told us not to get close, but we all went in... Will anything be okay?"

"Yingying should be fine."

MEM wanted to comfort Ruby, but his voice was trembling.

"And Ruby, you saw it too. The room was locked and not opened at all. Even if we were mistaken during the power outage, we couldn't have gotten in. So we must have gone into another room..."

"But there is only one guest room over there..."

"Woo..."

Hearing Ruby's answer, MEM didn't know what to say for a moment. She took out her cell phone and was silent for a moment.

"I heard from the Internet that you can use salt to set up a barrier to exorcise evil spirits..."

"Oh, stop talking!"

At this time, Fengbin and Hua couldn't help but speak.

"It's all hallucinations, it's all fake, it's all just our imaginations. There are no ghosts in this world, we are just scaring ourselves. Okay, go to bed quickly, nothing will happen when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"makes sense."

After hearing Fengbin and Hua's answers, MEM also put down his phone.

"Go to sleep, we still have filming tomorrow."

"Ah."

Ruby did not object, and soon, the three of them closed their eyes, and just when they were about to fall asleep, half asleep and half awake...

“Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…”

A faint cry came from outside the door. At first, the sound was not very loud, but gradually, the sound became clearer and clearer. The three people lying in the quilt also opened their eyes and looked at each other.

"…………………"

No one spoke, and everyone subconsciously held their breath, as if the Black Mountain Demon had arrived. Then, they saw a vague figure gradually emerge on the other side of the paper door.

"Master...where are you...Master..."

A low, distorted, hoarse wailing sound came from outside, and just hearing it gave people goosebumps. Ruby, Fengbin and Hua were holding onto the MEM lying between them, one on each side, and they didn't dare to breathe. The figure just stood outside their paper door, motionless.

"MEM..."

Fengbin and Hua lost their usual toughness and were about to cry. Ruby didn't say anything but bit her lip.

"I, I'll go take a look..."

As the oldest of the three, MEM had to bite the bullet and stand up, carefully walking to the door. The remaining two shook their heads desperately, while MEM reached out to grab the paper door and gritted his teeth.

"Wow!"

The next moment, she opened the door.

However, unexpectedly, there was nothing outside the door.

Under the dim light, it was clear that there was nothing on both sides of the corridor. MEM stuck his head out, looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"How, how is it, MEM?"

At this moment, Ruby and Kazuka also came over carefully, approached MEM, and looked outside.

"Nothing, probably just an illusion, okay, let's go back to sleep..."

As she spoke, MEM turned around and tried to go back to her room, but then she froze there. Seeing MEM's horrified expression, Ruby and Kazuka also turned around, and then they saw a pale woman in a kimono kneeling in front of their bedding, staring at them intently.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The next moment, accompanied by shrill screams, the three of them ran out of the guest room, grabbing each other and running desperately to the other side of the corridor!
"Hahahahaha!"

When Duanmu Huai returned to the "command center" on the third floor, he was greeted by director Qingshui's laughter and applause.

"Oh my, you are worthy of being Duanmu Jun. Only you can achieve this kind of effect!"

The one who played the role of the ghost of the prostitute was naturally Duanmu Huai. As for why he appeared in the guest room as if he had teleported, the reason was very simple. When MEM opened the paper door, Duanmu Huai jumped up and stuck to the ceiling like a spider. Because MEM and Ruby were only paying attention to the corridor and didn't want to look up, they completely ignored Duanmu Huai's existence.

While they were paying attention to the corridor, Duanmu Huai quietly crawled in through the opened paper door, then dropped from the ceiling and knelt on the ground. After the three people were scared away, Duanmu Huai just had to leave from the emergency stairs on the other side. As for whether he would meet other people on the way, everyone was an accomplice anyway, so who would expose him?

It sounds simple, but without Duanmu Huai's ability, ordinary people would never be able to do this skill. Director Qingshui even decided to put this segment in the program's highlights, which would definitely help the program's ratings rise to a higher level.

Of course, please also note that professional behavior should not be imitated.

Most people would be lucky if they didn't fall half to death if they followed Duanmu Huai's example.

"It all depends on their reactions tomorrow. It's really exciting."

Duanmu Huai also yawned and looked at the monitor with a smile. On the screen, Ruby and the other two said that they didn't want to go back to their rooms to sleep, and insisted on sleeping in the same room with the staff. So in the end, two female staff members slept in other rooms with them. Although five people were a bit crowded, for them now, the more people, the better.
By the way, during the planning process of the program, the staff of the program once suggested that B Komachi first hear the legend from the inn owner and then the haunted house.

But director Shimizu thinks this is too deliberate. You have just finished listening to a ghost story and the ghost appears in front of you. It is faster than ordering takeout. How can it be so accurate?

In the movie, it was because of the plot, but when doing a reality show, we have to consider the real reaction. Therefore, Director Shimizu made a bold decision to set up a ghost show first, and then see if they would be curious about it. If they went to the boss lady to ask about the situation, then the boss lady could just throw out the ghost story.

Of course, this is also thanks to Duanmu Huai's skills. If he didn't have this skill to play tricks, then we can only consider the first method. But since Duanmu Huai is here, Director Qingshui naturally made a bold decision. Now it seems that the effect of this program is quite good.

Duanmu Huai did this to teach these idiots a lesson: don't open the door at night. Well, I believe that after this lesson, they will never dare to open the door casually again.

After tossing and turning for half the night, the three unlucky people of B Komachi finally fell asleep. Of course, this night was not a peaceful one for them. When they woke up the next day, the three of them looked tired. However, even so, when filming the fake show, they still cheered up and showed their professionalism.

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but nodded. This kind of prank show is indeed excessive. But it has a reason to be able to last for a long time and even become a stage for selecting artists.

For ordinary audiences, they can see the more real side of those artists through this program. For other producers, they can also see the on-the-spot reactions, performances, and professionalism of those artists through this program. This is like a big test for the artists. If they pass the test, it means that their professionalism and ability are recognized, and they are more likely to receive more notices.

On the other hand, if they don't do it well, it will just become a joke.

So people like B Komachi and the other two, who were tormented by them for half the night, were still able to energetically introduce the food and hotel scenery early the next morning... I can only say, it's good to be young.

"Okay, CUT!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

After finishing the morning segment, the fake program crew took a break, and the three members of B Komachi breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, and then MEM hesitated and looked at the boss lady. "Um... boss lady? I want to ask... "

"Ok?"

"Here... why is that chrysanthemum room locked? Is there any reason for it?"

"Oh, it's nothing actually."

Hearing MEM's question, the proprietress also told the background story that had been set up previously.

"It is said that a murder occurred in this inn a long time ago. A samurai took a prostitute and ran away, but the samurai's purpose was just to cheat the prostitute of her property. So after bringing the prostitute to the inn, he killed her and ran away with the property. The place where the prostitute was killed was the Kikuno-no-Ma. Later, it was said that the resentful spirit of the prostitute wandered in the inn every night, crying and looking for the samurai who killed her... So the owner at that time invited a high monk to seal the room and worship the dead spirit. Therefore, the Kikuno-no-Ma has never been opened since then."

"This, this, is it like this......"

After hearing what the boss lady said, MEM and the others were all pale and speechless. The boss lady also had work to do at this time, so she said goodbye and left. The three of them were left staring at each other, speechless for a while.

"What, what should we do? Could it be that we are really haunted by some ghost?"

MEM shuddered. Last night's experience was so terrifying that she still felt scared when she thought about it.

“I don’t think so…”

Even the competitive Fengbin and Hua felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"We are all women, not warriors. If she wants to find someone, she shouldn't look for us, right?"

"But didn't we break into that room?"

"Ugh..."

Faced with MEM's question, Fengbin and Hua were speechless for a moment.

"Well, that's an illusion!"

"So the woman who appeared in our room was also an illusion?"

"Okay, stop talking."

Just then, Ruby stepped forward.

"After the show is finished, let's all go to the front of that room and pray for her. I feel that she is quite pitiful. She was defrauded of her money and her life was murdered. If we sincerely offer her sacrifices, maybe she will ascend to heaven."

"Hmm...that's fine."

"I have no opinion."

Hearing Ruby's suggestion, the other two didn't say anything, but just nodded, and Ruby also clenched her fists.

"Don't worry, everyone. It will be fine!"

After this, the filming continued.

Most of the filming work has been completed, and when it is time to rest at night, Ruby, MEM and others come out again and come to the corridor where Kiku was before.

“Wow… I don’t know why, but looking at this corridor now feels so scary…”

Looking at the long corridor in front of him, MEM shuddered. It was fine when he took a hot spring bath here before, but after listening to the story told by the proprietress, looking at this corridor again seemed so scary.

"By the way, Ruby, did you bring any tribute?"

"Ah."

Ruby nodded.

"I brought flowers and some snacks, I hope she likes them."

"I hope so..."

At this moment, there was no one here. The members of B Komachi were also approaching the Kiku-no-Ma carefully. Obviously, this corridor was not long, but in Ruby's eyes, this corridor was extremely long. After walking for an unknown period of time, she finally arrived at the door of the Kiku-no-Ma. Then Ruby knelt down, placed the flowers and snacks in her hands there, clasped her hands together, and muttered to herself.

"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you, I hope you can forgive us... hm?"

However, halfway through her words, Ruby suddenly felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and looked around in surprise - only to see that MEM, Fengbin and Hua, who were supposed to be with her, had disappeared.

Ruby was the only one left in the long and narrow corridor.

"what happened?"

Ruby raised her head in surprise and looked around. She remembered clearly that the two of them were following her not long ago, so how come they were gone now?

"------"

At this moment, the lights suddenly began to flicker, and then a cold voice sounded.

"Master...where are you...?"

“——————!!!”

Hearing the voice, Ruby shuddered all over. She slowly turned around and saw a prostitute standing at the end of the corridor behind her, staring at her coldly.

"Where is the master...?"

"Woo..."

Facing the other person's gaze, Ruby first shrank her body, then she mustered up the courage to stare at her.

"Yes, did you take my companions away? Give them back to me! We don't know your master, and we have nothing to do with you! Although I sympathize with your experience, but... this has nothing to do with us!"

"Give the master back to me...or else...I will take them away..."

"no!"

Hearing this, Ruby hesitated.

"If you want to take someone, take me with you! Give my companion back to me!"

“Take…you away?”

"No, that's right!"

Ruby was about to cry at this moment, but she held back her tears and stared at the other person.

"I can go with you! But you have to return my companions!"

“…………………Hehehe……………”

However, at this moment, the prostitute gave a twisted, weird smile.

"In that case, then...I'm going to take you with me!"

Before she finished her words, the prostitute suddenly jumped up, opened her claws, and pounced towards Ruby like a wild beast!

Looking at the girl with a distorted face who pounced on her, Ruby gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

Then...she felt a hand pinching her cheek.

"Hey?"

Ruby opened her eyes in surprise, only to see the prostitute standing in front of her with a sign in her hand.

"Prank—great success!"
