Throne of Radiance

After a simple breakfast, Andre and others began to explore Worthy Castle according to the original plan, or in other words, started their long-prepared performance.

Only uninformed audiences would think that this is really a program to explore the unknown, but for the four who know the inside story, this is just a play they and the program team performed together.

The program group gained the popularity they wanted, and these people would either gain fame or benefit.

Since it was just a drama to deceive the audience from the beginning to the end, they were naturally prepared for it.

Considering that Andre, who had the strongest acting skills among the four of them, was only a third-rate actor, in order not to be seen through, they never came to the scene in person before the show started.In other words, this abandoned castle is indeed a strange place that has never been explored for them, and there is no familiarity that may be seen through by the audience.

It's just that the program team has arranged in advance in the castle, with various old props deliberately made, and special organs arranged in the dark. It can be said that this is a well-arranged haunted house.

In order to ensure their real reactions in front of the camera, they only got part of the script and understood the setting of part of the props.

In any case, several people were very calm in their hearts.

Isn't it just a live broadcast to explore the haunted house?I already know that there are no real ghosts. No matter how terrifying the program group's arrangement is, the fright it brings to me is limited, right?Maybe when the time comes, they will still need to work hard to show the emotion of fear?

With this in mind, the four started their first day of exploration, and all of this was presented on the live screen.

"Hey, is this the hostess' bedroom? Kekekekeke, there are still old dressers and mirrors here?"

As the first door was pushed open, the blowing dust really choked them for a while, and Ella walked in carefully behind them, taking everything in the room into her eyes.

The yellowed ceiling, the black and red intertwined dark-colored carpet, the center of the room is a four-poster bed carved with classical carvings, and not far from the door, there is an old dressing table. There is also a box of lipstick on it.Except for the floor, the dust in the room was not thick, and it didn't look like a house that hadn't been lived in for decades.

While other people were checking the room and collecting clues, Ella's eyes were fixed on the dressing table, to be precise, it was the mirror on the dressing table.Her sunny blond hair and curious eyes were reflected on the mirror like water.The person in the mirror stared at her quietly, as if inviting her.

Her eyes met those of the person in the mirror, and she walked over without knowing it, completely ignoring everything around her.

It wasn't until she sat down at the dressing table that she saw the lip balm on the table. Ella subconsciously opened it, and immediately saw half a box of melted jelly, which was as bright red as blood.

"Ah, I got up in a hurry this morning, I seem to have forgotten to put on makeup." Ella realized belatedly, she looked at herself in the mirror, and said to herself, "The lip color seems too light."

With that said, she reached for the box of lipstick.

"Ella, what are you doing?" At this moment, someone patted her on the shoulder, and Ella's hand, which was applying lipstick to herself, trembled suddenly, and the lipstick in her hand fell to the dressing table. superior.She woke up suddenly, and immediately looked at herself in the mirror, with sunny golden hair, charming eyes praised by countless fans, and ruddy lips...

and many more!

She suddenly reached out and touched her lips, her expression changed drastically.

"I..." What did I do just now!

The memory of what happened just now appeared in my mind like a flashback. I recalled that I sat down in front of the dressing table curiously, picked up the lipstick, and painted it on myself in front of the mirror... Ai The pulling hand trembled violently, and the whole person stood up like a snake and took several steps back. It was not until he was away from the dressing table that his heartbeat calmed down.

It's not right, it's not right, it's so wrong.

She felt as if she was in a daze just now.

"Ella, are you really alright?" Steele, who came to call her, was also taken aback when he saw that the accompanying companion suddenly turned pale, bent down and panted hard, as if he was having difficulty breathing.

Could it be that some unknown disease occurred?It's none of my business, I hope it's just acting... Steele cried out trouble in his heart, and said worriedly on his face: "I called you a few times just now, but you just kept looking at me as if you didn't hear me." Putting on lipstick in the mirror, I can’t say no to it, are you okay?”

Ella raised her head in a daze, and just about to say something, her gaze was on herself in the mirror, and the person in the mirror was also looking at her.

Two crimson traces suddenly flowed down from the pupils of the person in the mirror.Then came the mouth, nose, and mouth. A large amount of blood gushed out from the seven orifices, dyeing the entire mirror red in an instant.

"Ah!" She suddenly let out a scream, and without thinking about it, she hugged Steele who was closest to her, her body trembling.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Steele was taken aback by her scream, hugged her, reached out and patted her on the back, his tone was full of comfort, "Calm down, Ella!"

Andre and West were also attracted by the startled breath, and immediately surrounded Ella: "What's going on? Did you find anything here?"

"I, I..." Ella hugged Steele tightly, not daring to lift her head, and her voice was trembling, "I saw someone in the mirror, bleeding a lot, and there was blood all over the mirror..."

Her words were a bit incoherent, but at least everyone grasped the point, so they all looked towards the mirror of the dressing table, but only saw their reflections in the mirror.

"There's no blood." West stepped forward in confusion, looked at the mirror carefully, and glanced at the lipstick that was opened on the dressing table, "However, this mirror is so clean, free of dust, and easy to dress up." The platform is also very clean, sure enough my reasoning is correct, there are no evil spirits at all, it is criminals who have been entrenched in this castle for a while, and all the traces here indicate that there have been people living in it recently."

While talking, he stretched out his hand to grope down from the dressing table. His fingers suddenly touched some gap, and he pulled it lightly. Immediately, he opened the drawer of the dressing table. West's eyes swept into the drawer , suddenly froze.

"How come?" He made a short surprised voice.

"How could it be?" Pushing a trembling girl into the arms of the other boyfriend, Steele, who was finally able to free his hands, also stepped forward, looked over curiously, and was also stunned.

"This is... sapphire?" She pointed to the things in the drawer in surprise, her tone changed, "It's not true, is it?"

"No, I can assure you that it is true."

West's expression became serious, and his eyes were very puzzled.

"I still know a thing or two about gem appreciation." He carefully took out the box containing gems in the drawer, reached out and picked up another one, held it up high, and squinted his eyes at the dim light in the room, " I'm pretty sure it's genuine."

"What? Are you kidding me?" Is the show crew crazy?

Steele swallowed back the words he almost blurted out, with question marks on his face.Although I know that the props here should be arranged in advance by the program team, but it is too generous to put a few real gems, right?Is this really an ordinary show?

Or... She looked suspiciously at West.The gem is actually a fake, is this just a script that West got?

It's like the one next to him who is still trembling and hiccupping, rubbing his pale face in his boyfriend's arms and constantly throwing dog food to the audience, and keeps saying that there is blood in the mirror. It's like a little trash in a vase. What happened just now should be the script of the other party. Bar?

...It seems that this vase's acting skills are not bad.

Everyone has worked so hard, she must not hold back.

There was a lot of turning in her head, and Steele thought she understood. Seeing that West was still looking at the gems in puzzlement and solemnity, she immediately showed the same puzzled and solemn expression in cooperation.

With a dignified expression on her face, she imitated West to pick up a gem and looked at it, and she heard the voice of the other person talking to herself: "Could it be that this is really a den of criminals? The criminals deliberately hid the stolen goods in this remote place. It’s not easy to be found at ordinary times, so you can come and pick it up when you need it?”

——From the beginning, questioning the existence of evil spirits and guiding everything in a man-made direction was the script and character design he took.I never thought that the script could really be true? !

He quickly thought of the theft he heard about a few days ago.What appears to have been stolen was a jewelry store?

Thinking that this place might actually be a den of criminals, and that the other party might have just left for a while before being taken advantage of by the program crew, and might come back anytime, West broke out in a cold sweat .

Although he had practiced martial arts, he didn't think that the unarmed four could match up to the heinous criminals, especially in the Green Autonomous Region, where even children could play with guns.

"No, it's too dangerous here..." He pulled Steele back with a jerk, and was about to notify the others to evacuate first.

"Indeed, the appearance of this gem is too strange." Steele pulled him back, "Be careful, the rumors are probably true, I suspect that this is the room where the evil spirits live, and the most precious thing in this room is the jewel in the dressing table. Gemstones must be very important to evil spirits, maybe they have something to do with Sir Worthy, we found gems, it will definitely attract the attention of evil spirits!"

"...???" West got stuck before he could finish speaking. He suddenly realized that he met Steele's eyes full of vigilance because of his overacting. He blinked, as if to say: Shall I cooperate?

West: "..."

He immediately realized that this show was broadcast live, and there should be audiences who have been paying attention to them now.

Then, even if this is really a den of criminals, the other party can't be stupid enough to break in under the watchful eyes of the public, that is to say, they are absolutely safe under the watchful eyes of the audience.

You can play with peace of mind, call the police after the show is over, hold up the jewel in full view and speak out your speculations, and catch the real criminal... Just think about that scene, and now I can't help but start looking forward to it.At that time, I will definitely gain a lot of admiration, right?

West breathed a sigh of relief.

He also weighed the sapphire in his hand in a good mood.

But the audience in front of the screen obviously couldn't understand his mood.

[Ah, ah, ah, let go!That's not a gem! ]

[Do they really not know what they are taking?It's eyeballs!It's a bleeding eyeball!And it's still a living eyeball that can move!My san value really plummeted! ]

[Help, what kind of scary ghost story is this!Why do they all seem to be so normal, and I feel like I'm going crazy watching through the screen? ! ]

[? ? ?Walking in a bloody house, your own skin is falling off, and you are still playing with your eyeballs, do you really think this is normal? ]

[This is obviously a collision with a super-dangerous mysterious incident!Whether it's the Administration Bureau or other extraordinary people, hurry up and save people! ]

……

At the same time, the Morningstar Empire Special Affairs Bureau.

Chandler, the director of the management authority, has long heard about the weird incidents that took place in the Green Autonomous Region. After all, it has spread on the Internet, and the management authority sent people to Worthy Castle as early as the first time.He listened to the voice on the other side of the microphone, his eyebrows were tightly knit together: "Why, haven't you found anyone yet?"

"Report, report to the director, there is nothing here."

The subordinate's unbelievable voice came from the other end of the phone.

"We didn't see anything... Not only people, but even the old castle disappeared completely."

"It's as if they were swallowed into another space?"
