The host smiled and pulled out a stack of cue cards: "Of course, the production team doesn't offer free dinners. If you want to finish your meal, everyone has to play a little game together."

"I currently have a hundred quizzes on metaphysics. Before participating in the show, the director should have informed everyone that they needed to prepare some knowledge related to metaphysics..."

"The group that answers the most questions correctly within half an hour will get to choose their dinner first. The second place group will get half the amount of the first place group. And the third place group... hey, what's with that look? Don't worry, the production team won't let you go hungry."

"The third group of guests will also have food, but they will need to accept a small punishment. You will have other tasks to do tonight while the other guests are resting."

Ok……

You mean you can't sleep in the middle of the night and have to do a mission alone in this eerie theater?

Production team, don't you have any conscience?

[Hahahaha, we've finally arrived at the game segment that everyone's been waiting for!]

[As expected of a show focused on metaphysics, the questions they ask are...unheard of.]

[I knew the game segment would be late, but it's the usual format for domestic variety shows.]

[Hahahaha!! Now it all comes down to which group of ordinary people is the most impressive.]

Now I understand why this show insists on inviting ordinary people; without ordinary people who know metaphysics, the celebrities wouldn't even be able to eat, hahaha.

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's not common sense, and even if we prepared, we wouldn't prepare too much.

[Oh my god, hahaha, Mu Si is so lucky. After all, with Shen Nian around, is there any question she can't answer?]

[Hahahaha, Mu Sinian, you're so lucky!]

The host smiled and said, "Alright, I'm going to ask the first question now."

"When a person dies, they become a ghost; when a ghost dies, they become—"

Can ghosts really "die"?

Holy crap, I think I know, but I can't remember.

Can I ask for help from outside the venue? I'm searching now.

Of course not, they've already asked for help from the sidelines, what's the point of competing?

Shen Nian said calmly, "A ghost becomes a demon after death."

"Alright, Master Shen, one point for the plan!"

"The other two groups need to do their best too! After all, tonight's task... won't be easy to complete!"

The host was intentionally trying to scare them, his laughter sounding eerie.

Guests: ...

Hello, is this female host from a horror movie theater?

In the following Q&A session, Shen Nian answered most of the questions.

However, she won't answer all the questions.

Hu Die is a demon, and she answered part of the questions. Her group is currently in second place.

Xie Shi'an and Meng Yang fared much worse, managing to answer only a few questions.

Although Meng Yang is also a metaphysical streamer, his livestreams mainly focus on telling supernatural stories and local legends, with entertainment as the primary purpose. Occasionally, he uses his "yin-yang eyes" to help fans solve paranormal problems. To be more precise, he is actually a folklore enthusiast, so he can answer some questions related to local folk customs.

As expected, Xie Shi'an and Meng Yang's group came in last place and were relegated to the night watch.

Saying it was a night watch isn't entirely accurate.

The production team asked them to stay at the location where nearby residents reported seeing strange phenomena and to film there, in an attempt to find out if the strange phenomena really existed.

Although the opera house has a relatively simple structure, it was once a large theater that could accommodate thousands of people, and the upstairs auditorium and boxes were secluded and dark.

Thinking this, both of them couldn't help but shiver and looked at the production team with pleading eyes.

Shen Nian lowered her head and casually ate a few bites of their group's food.

The food provided by the production team was hard-won, but the taste was really hard to praise.

She managed to eat one sandwich, but then stopped eating.

Mu Sinian wasn't picky at all. After finishing the rest of the food, he even smiled and said that the food from the show was much better than what was served on set.

This sparked another wave of sympathy from the viewers in the live chat.

My brother is so dedicated, waaaaaaah!

In other words, they never act like divas or put on airs, and they put a lot of effort into every script.

Shen Nian is eating very little. Is it because she's not used to the food?

[They definitely wouldn't be used to that kind of food. I bet Shen Nian usually eats... something pretty expensive.]

[The kind of air-freighted salmon described in novels?]

[Hahahaha, forgive me, I'm a poor guy, I can't imagine what rich people eat.]

[I feel sorry for the third group for a second. This theater still looks kind of eerie. Are they really going to explore the theater at night? My goodness.]

Hmm... I hope they're alright.

"It's alright, they're both boys, their yang energy should be... pretty strong, right?"

[A delicate young boy and someone with the ability to see ghosts—I can't tell who has a stronger yang energy.]

[Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, can I? You know what, the one with the strongest yang energy here is probably Mu Sinian.]

Shen Nian and Mu Sinian should have separated. They've joined forces; those two weaklings are trembling with fear.

[It was a lottery; there's nothing we can do about it. Mu Sinian was just lucky to be drawn by Shen Nian.]

Was he lucky? Who even remembers that he had a flirtatious girl by his side?

[Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, so I'm even less afraid now, since I already have things behind me, one more won't make a difference.]

The comments section was buzzing with laughter, and the guests started making their sleeping bags and making do on the floor.

Xie Shi'an and Meng Yang can sleep for three hours. After three hours, someone will come to call them to complete the mission.

Therefore, despite their fear, the two quickly crawled into their sleeping bags, intending to sleep for as long as they could.

Due to limited resources, the guests can't even change out of their pajamas, let alone take a shower.

Nobody wants to go to the dark backstage area, full of mannequins, wigs, and mirrors, to change clothes.

Looking at the bottles and jars of skincare products in her suitcase, Zhang Xiaoling sighed and said to the camera, "I hope my face will still look good when I wake up tomorrow morning."

Her final act of defiance was taking her doll out of her suitcase and placing it next to her pillow.

Goodnight everyone!

Zhang Xiaoling said to the others.

Everyone else replied with "Goodnight" to varying degrees.

However, they probably also knew that they wouldn't be able to sleep well in such a gloomy place.

"I hope no rats will crawl across my face tonight."

Hu Die: "...No, that won't happen."

With a proper demon like her here, even rats, which have some intelligence, will stay far away.

Shen Nian crawled into her sleeping bag and closed her eyes.

To her left were Hu Die and Zhang Xiaoling, and to her right was Mu Sinian.

To Mu Sinian's right are the two unfortunate individuals who will be tasked with a mission later.

At this moment, his eyes were already closed.

Mu Sinian turned to look at Shen Nian and said softly, "Are you scared?"

Shen Nian: ...

She glanced at Mu Sinian, then exchanged a look with the female ghost floating beside him, and was momentarily speechless.

What do you think?

"But I'm a little scared."

Shen Nian: ...

A female ghost was following behind this man, but she didn't seem to be afraid at all after watching him for a long time.
