I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 226
On the rough highway, three minivans drove past one after the other.There are mountains and forests all around, and under the railing on the right is a cliff and the sparkling sea.

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a knitted wool cap, his chin was covered with blue stubble, and he looked a bit sloppy.

A young man with silver-rimmed glasses sat on the co-pilot, holding a miniature video camera in his hand, constantly filming the scenery outside the window; Equipped with small video equipment.

Besides them, there were three men and two women in the car.

"Director, how long until we arrive at the filming location?" In the back seat, a beautiful girl with shawl and long hair looked out the window and suddenly said.

"According to the navigation, there is still about an hour." The middle-aged man called the director glanced at the phone, and while driving, he said to the people behind him: "How is it, the scenery around here is beautiful, right?"

"Well, not bad."

The girl nodded. After asking the director, she picked up the powder in her hand and began to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror.No matter what the director said, the girl would just ignore her, and her attitude seemed very perfunctory.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "What a broken place, the network is half dead when the signal is poor. If I had known this, I shouldn't have asked my assistant to sign up for this broken program. The bonus is not as high as my income from a live broadcast..."

Because the music was playing in the car, the girl's words were not heard by the people in front.

At this moment, after checking the images in the camera, the young man in the passenger seat turned his head and said to the five people: "I will give everyone a good vaccination in advance. In order to pursue the real program effect, the shooting environment at night will be very difficult." Black, the whole process is quite scary. If you really can’t stand it, you can call the staff, but if you quit the game, you need to pay liquidated damages.”

"Don't worry, assistant director, I have been very courageous since I was a child, and I will definitely persevere until the end." A young man said without thinking.

"Yeah, I like watching your show very much. Such a wonderful variety show must be inseparable from the dedication of the team. We will fully cooperate!" another girl laughed.

Compared with the long-haired girl, the attitudes of the other young men and women are more friendly.And they have been touting the program group in their words, everyone is always talking and laughing, and the atmosphere in the car looks very relaxed.

One of the short-haired, baby-faced girls said excitedly, "Actually, I have participated in some low-budget online dramas before, and I have stayed in the mountains a lot. But it is the first time to record like today. I don't know." After the program airs, will the ratings be high..."

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that the ratings of this episode will definitely break the historical record, and everyone's popularity will be doubled! I never thought that you would come to our show, Ammy..."

The man in the passenger seat looked back at the long-haired girl.The latter forced a smile when he heard the other party mentioning himself, ignoring the man's praise.

The man who spoke was named Han Changjiang, who was the deputy director of the program group and was also in charge of publicity work; in the car behind them, the photographer of the program group was driving.

They are the production team of a well-known local supernatural variety show. The content of the program is to invite some guests and mages to share their personal experience of supernatural events, or the host to go to scary places around the world to test their courage.

And this time the location of the recording program was a notorious madhouse in China.

This abandoned hospital was selected as the top ten creepy and taboo places in various horror forums, and it was named Jiangjing Mental Hospital.

All kinds of eerie legends are gathered here. Since the last century, many patients and medical staff have said that they can feel powerful energy in the hospital, and they are always watched by eyes from nowhere.In the middle of the night, there are always footsteps in the corridor, things in the hospital will move by themselves, doors and windows will open and close by themselves, etc.
In the mid-90s, many patients and medical staff in the mental hospital committed suicide bizarrely, and the dean and his wife were also brutally killed. The murderer was never caught.Later, the hospital was closed amid controversy, and it has been abandoned ever since.

Afterwards, all kinds of horrifying rumors came out of this mental hospital. Some people said that they saw the ghosts of patients who were tortured to death in those years, and some people said that those who came here never left alive...

In short, there are endless horror stories about this mental hospital, which attracted the attention of the program group.

The theme of this variety show is "Forbidden Games"; the program team released information on the recruitment of game guests on the Internet as early as two months ago.

After arriving at the abandoned hospital, the guests will team up and enter it to play a horror game called "Tianshi catch ghosts".

The program team will write down the three identities of [Heavenly Master], [Human] and [Ghost] on the paper in advance.Then, each guest randomly chooses one of them, and each hides in a place where others cannot see to see what is written on the paper.

Those who get the status of celestial masters need to catch people and ghosts. If they catch people, the celestial master can take people as disciples and go catch ghosts together until they catch ghosts.

The game is divided into three rounds, each round lasts one hour.After the game is over, lots will be drawn again. Each guest can only play the role of celestial master or ghost once at most, and no duplication of identities is allowed (except human beings).

There is a scary saying about this game: When you play ghost hunting, you are actually attracting ghosts to catch you...

In order to make the program more effective, the team also formulated an extremely special game rule:

天师每找到一人可额外获得2分，抓到鬼可以获得6分，最高20分。（找到7人+1鬼）
People who become disciples and help the celestial master catch ghosts, or hide until the end of the game without being found, can get 10 reward points. (Only celestial masters and their disciples can catch ghosts, ordinary people can't. If ordinary people encounter ghosts under single circumstances, they will be out of the game directly)

The guests who have drawn ghosts can arrest people, but at the same time they need to avoid the pursuit of the celestial master camp.Every time a ghost catches a person, they will be rewarded with 5 points.If you can persist until the end of the game without being discovered by the celestial master and his disciples, you can get an extra 20 points.

However, once a ghost is caught, all points will be cleared. It can be said that risks and benefits coexist.

Among them, 1 point can be converted into a bonus of 1 yuan, that is to say, after a round of the game is over, as long as they are not eliminated, the "survivor" can earn at least 10 yuan in bonuses.

As soon as this recruitment was released, it naturally attracted a large number of interested netizens to sign up enthusiastically.After a series of strict screening, the program group selected nine guests, five men and four women.

The girl named Ammy in the assistant guide's mouth is the most popular delivery person on social media, and has even cooperated with many top domestic celebrities.

Her popularity is extremely high, and each video can be viewed millions of times on online media; however, because the paparazzi exposed her relationship with a second-tier male star a while ago, her reputation has been somewhat affected.

Because of this, in order to restore the lost reputation, Ammy's team considered again and again, and finally decided to accept the olive branch thrown by the program group.

In addition to Ammy, guests who participated in the recording of this program also included some social software celebrities and beauty experts.Most of these guests are Internet celebrities or young actors with a fan base, with their own traffic; and without exception, they are all young people with good looks.

The program group is experienced and well versed in what is a popular routine.After all, there is nothing more exciting than watching a group of handsome men and women die.
