The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Oh my god! Look over there in the grove!"

…………

Hundreds of millions of viewers quickly created a wave on the Internet. More and more details of Qin Xiaoyao's first three reality shows were exposed. After all, everything was exposed on camera. As long as you are willing to search for clues, there will never be a shortage of reasoning and detail experts on the Internet.

Meanwhile, inside the show venue where the massacre had already begun, a "woman" dressed in a traditional Xiuhe dress with a bright red veil covering her face appeared in a gloomy grove shrouded in dim light and mist.

"A ghost! A female ghost!" Sun Dieqi was the first to spot it, pointing at the misty grove and screaming, "Is she the bride?"

As everyone looked over, the red figure vanished in a flash and reappeared a second closer to them.

"Charge forward!" Jiang Chen flicked his finger, and before Qin Xiaoyao could react, she had already flung the axe away. The female ghost instantly turned into red smoke and disappeared.

She took a deep breath to barely suppress her fear and said in a low voice to her still-shaken teammates, "The female ghost has come out, so the cemetery should be nearby. Let's go through the forest maze again according to our deduction."

Find the cemetery quickly to unravel the second scene and connect the story; then you can leave this place.

The angel flapped her wings and flew low alongside Jiang Chen, clearly unable to understand the little devil's actions. She asked curiously, "Why are you wasting your time playing such a boring game with humans? Why don't you... make a wish to me to end this pointless farce and do something interesting!"

Do something interesting?

What can a demon and an angel do together?

"Then, I want this show to end smoothly without any injuries or fatalities." He tentatively made his second wish.

The angel gracefully gathered her pure white wings, which quickly coalesced into a huge star that shimmered with a holy light. It floated up from her outstretched hands, soaring higher and higher before exploding and scattering starlight.

"Dudududu!"

Suddenly, urgent alarms sounded throughout the entire building of the game center, located on the outskirts of the city.

The huge control hall instantly descended into chaos and panic. The large screen kept flashing data and popping up to refresh automatically from time to time; the virtual sandbox flickered a few times and lost its light and shadow. Except for the live broadcast line, which was unaffected, the game center lost control of the show in just a few seconds.

"Your Majesty, someone is attacking the game center! The show is completely out of control!" Qiao Yi was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck bulged. Seeing that he had tried everything but could not regain control, he was so desperate that he was ready to jump off a building. But then he realized that this was a perfect opportunity!

The show design I was in charge of was perfectly fine; it was unanimously approved from top to bottom.

But from the moment Sun Dieqi and Qin Xiaoyao appeared, things became increasingly out of control, until even the game center was paralyzed. That can only mean that someone is secretly up to no good!

The person who could carry out such a precise and targeted retaliatory action must be someone of high rank and power.

Most likely...

When Qiao thought of the rumor that some people felt the head of state was too old to consider stepping down, but his son Gu Deqiang was not a good successor, so many political enemies were secretly plotting against him.

This reality show has solidified Qin Xiaoyao's despicable nature and brought her to trial, which is very important to the head of state. Therefore, sabotaging the reality show to protect Qin Xiaoyao is the result his political enemies want!

Qiao Yi felt relieved, as if she had been given a reassurance.

By shifting all the blame onto political enemies, the head of state would have no time to investigate and hold anyone accountable, thus allowing himself to escape unscathed.

"The game center has been compromised?" The leader frowned slightly upon receiving the urgent call. "What's the situation at the show venue now?"

“The live stream wasn’t affected, and the actors are unaware and still searching for clues, but we’ve lost control, and…” Qiao Yi tried to make her voice sound even more panicked, “What’s even more terrifying is that none of our top staff have discovered the intrusion route, which means… there’s a high possibility that a spy has infiltrated the game center!”

The leader did not answer; his eyes were fixed on the live broadcast showing Qin Xiaoyao leading the team through the ghostly grove and successfully arriving at a chaotic graveyard.

has a problem!

This show had serious problems from the very beginning!

During his many years in power, he never believed in the word "coincidence." He believed that if many coincidences happened, it could only be due to human intervention.

"Who could it be?" The leader hung up the phone, frowning in deep thought.

The exaggerated makeup and hair, the backpack, and the drugged water in the car were all prepared for Qin Xiaoyao. However, in the less than an hour's drive from boarding the car to arriving at the show venue, the two of them changed their clothes from head to toe, and even the water was switched without anyone noticing.

Is the person you arranged to handle the matter the problem?

Or did something go wrong in the ride-hailing process?

The more he thought about it, the more perplexed he became. The higher one's position and power, the more people coveted it; now even his own son wanted him to relinquish his power. It wouldn't be difficult to plant people to switch the two actors' belongings, but which force had the capability to infiltrate the entire game center?

Those were top talents selected by mobilizing the resources of thirty-nine countries!

The entire gaming center boasts a level of security comparable to a national bank. If someone can cripple it today, what will happen tomorrow…?

"Shut down all bank network services and enter a state of war preparedness from now on. All business must be handled manually in the lobby. Shut down the network control center of the defense department and enter a state of war preparedness..." The head of state made a phone call to raise all the fundamental departments of the Federation to the highest level of defense.

After finishing, he looked at the crimson sunset outside the French windows, his eyes narrowed, and said coldly, "No matter who it is, I will definitely find you!"

The game center staff were at a loss and were busy checking various places in an attempt to regain control;

The actors on the runway finally got to the main point – the bride who was supposed to be waiting to be married at Grandma Wang's house had disappeared. The clues they left behind revealed that someone had secretly sent her a message, urging her to escape quickly to avoid dying tragically at the Qian family mansion.

So the group of six tracked down to a small grove outside the town. After passing through a foggy maze that made them lose their way, they finally found a mass grave. In addition to the graves of the seven wives of the eldest son of the Qian family, they also found a large tomb that had been dug up in the center of the mass grave.

"Currently, our tasks seem to include the following: First, we need to find the missing brides; second, we need to find out the cause of death of these brides, why they all died after their wedding night with the young master; and finally... I am very concerned about that nameless tomb."

Wang He pointed to the empty coffin and explained, "Judging from the burial standards, the person in the tomb should have been either rich or noble. But the cemetery has been reduced to a mass grave and the grave has been dug up, leaving no body behind. This should be a foreshadowing."

Liu Yihong nodded in agreement, "There's another important point—who's passing the message to the bride? Maybe finding this person will reveal where the bride is."

"Besides the bridal look, several of the ghosts we encountered were ordinary people. Could they be foreshadowing something?" Fang Fei quickly joined the discussion to avoid being overshadowed by Qin Xiaoyao's outstanding appearance.

After careful recollection, Wang He proposed a new idea: "If I remember correctly, the first ghost we encountered in the first scene was dressed as a bride, and it hasn't appeared since."

Judging from their clothing, the remaining vengeful ghosts were all male and had died tragically.

Could their deaths also be related to the Qian family?

“I shone my flashlight over and saw it very clearly.” Qin Xiaoyao explained as she looked for a suitable tool, following Mr. Devil’s instructions: “The first female ghost we encountered was wearing red shoes embroidered with lotus flowers, but the female ghost we just encountered was wearing shoes embroidered with peonies, which shows that the female ghosts are not the same.”

Under a pile of tangled dead leaves, she found a pickaxe, put the axe aside, and swung the pickaxe to dig up the nearest small grave.

"What are you doing?" Zeng Hao asked, looking bewildered. "We've gathered all the clues, it's time to unlock the next scene and head to the Qian residence."

Qin Xiaoyao, panting heavily as she dug into the grave, said, "Let's see if there are any remains inside. If there are, we might be able to deduce the cause of death of each bride."

The audience who experienced the immersive experience immediately showered the audience with praise.

"This is what a leading lady should be like! I suggest all directors come and see this for themselves. Stop creating those characters who rise to power solely through men but still claim to be leading ladies. To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of hypocritical green tea bitches. I'm sick of seeing them!"

"Qin Xiaoyao is ruthless; she even dug up someone else's grave."

"Hahaha! I really like this ruthless and taciturn girl. The production team must be having a real headache. They can't even leave any clues or plant any foreshadowing."

"I'm more worried about Qin Xiaoyao. What she said before was really offensive. I wonder if the production team will arrange for her to be eliminated?"

"We'll cast all our votes for Qin Xiaoyao! We absolutely will not tolerate the show's producers daring to eliminate her..."

…………

Qin Xiaoyao, who is not afraid of hardship or fatigue and is also agile, dug up a grave, which made her support rate reach a new high, directly surpassing two professional actors and ranking behind Liu Yihong.

"It's empty?!" The grave was dug up, and the group helped open the poorly made coffin, only to find it completely empty.

There wasn't even a trace of remains, let alone any other material.

"Could it be that none of the seven young mistresses of the Qian family died?" Liu Yihong had just raised the question when he immediately dismissed it. "That's not right. Then what about the female ghost we saw?"

Wang He took the pickaxe, spat on his hands, and began digging the second grave. "Dig them all up and see. If they're all empty, it means the deaths of the Qian family's young mistresses are something we can't hide! Our next mission is to find all seven bodies!"

The angel yawned, clearly uninterested in the children playing games. She flapped her wings and flew away, saying, "You go ahead and do your work. I've used up both of my wishes for today, and I don't have anything else to wish for, so I'll head back now."

I'll come see you again tomorrow...

She thought for a moment and smiled gently, saying playfully, "You can come find me too. My name is Andelin, and I live on Star Street in the capital. You are welcome to visit me, and I will introduce you to the kind and lovely child who is still alive and well."

“If things can be settled here, I’ll come find you; otherwise, I’ll trouble you to make another trip.” Jiang Chen took out a diamond necklace from his system space and handed it to him. “It’s a gift for you. I think you look great in sparkly accessories.”

Andrea lifted the hem of her skirt and thanked him gracefully, then took the sparkling diamond necklace in her hand and admired it carefully. "A gift from the devil, how rare."

I must be the first angel to befriend a demon and receive a gift. Thank you.

Seeing that she really liked it, Jiang Chen helped tie the luxurious diamond necklace around her long, swan-like neck and praised her without reservation, "The diamonds are overshadowed by your brilliance. I am honored to be a friend of this beautiful angel."

"Since you've accepted my gift, I have nothing to give you in return, except a piece of advice—try to become a little stronger, otherwise being constantly enveloped by my holy light might hurt you."

"What the hell?! Such crucial information, and she's only revealing it now?!" The little white cat, who had been dozing off, immediately perked up, staring at the angel who had spread its wings and disappeared into the horizon. It gritted its little teeth and said fiercely, "Host, why don't you find another wife? Don't keep this cunning angel."

You're so good to her, you even help her boost her sales figures.

And what happened? If I hadn't given her a diamond necklace, she wouldn't have told you about it at all!

Besides, what's the point of finding a wife? Isn't it just about sweetly holding hands, kissing, hugging, lifting each other up high, and doing some warm-up exercises together at night? Right now, she's your nemesis. What if... you know... you get... you know... what happens then...?"

The little dumpling chattered softly, while Jiang Chen stared blankly at the script that was still being updated.

Ever since they confiscated Qin Xiaoyao's knife and corrected her mindset so she wouldn't turn evil or destroy the world, the script started updating. It's been several days now, and not only has there been no new plot development, but an angel has also gotten involved. I don't know how the script team plans to resolve this.

Hopefully they can complete the angel setting, so I don't know nothing about her...

"This is it. If we lower this wooden bridge over the moat, we can reach the Qian residence." Wang He looked up at the tightly closed city gate across the wide moat, momentarily at a loss. "We didn't find any suitable tools in the first two scenes. How are we going to lower the drawbridge?"

Liu Yihong started taking off his jacket, "I'm a pretty good swimmer, I should be able to find the mechanism if I swim over there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chen, who was about to help, suddenly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly reminded him, "Xiao Yao, quickly get them into the water too! There's movement behind you!"

"Jump into the water, quick!" Qin Xiaoyao shouted, instinctively gripping the axe in her hand and turning around to look.

A tall, muscular black figure appeared on the road not far away. His clothes were not visible in the mist, but judging from his mechanical and stiff hopping movements, he must be a zombie!

"Holy shit!" Wang He cursed, grabbing Fang Fei and jumping into the moat. "Zombies hate water, dive in, hold your breath, and don't make a sound!"

Liu Yihong and Zeng Hao had clearly never experienced this kind of show before, but their reaction speed was incredibly fast; they jumped into the river and dove into the water almost at the same time.

With Jiang Chen's help and manipulation, Qin Xiaoyao staged a scene that moved the audience – instead of escaping alone, she rushed over and dragged the terrified Sun Dieqi into the river.

The two were a beat too slow, and Sun Dieqi, who was being pulled back by Qin Xiaoyao, even had her coat torn by a zombie that pounced on her.

"thump!"

"Gurgle!"

The six people who jumped into the river to take refuge stirred up splashes of water. In this life-or-death moment, even Fang Fei, who couldn't swim, held her breath and clung tightly to Wang He, afraid of being swept away by the water or floating up and being discovered by the zombies.

"Huh! Huh!"

A rotting, bluish face drew near the water's surface, its withered cheeks adorned with wisps of decaying flesh; its dark, hollow eye sockets held bulging, dull, almost entirely black pupils; its sharp fangs were nearly touching the water's surface. Its feet braced against the shore, its body almost horizontal, prostrate a few centimeters above the water's surface, carefully searching for any sign of life.

"Glug!" Zeng Hao was diving right below the zombie when the zombie suddenly appeared face-to-face, startling him so much that he couldn't hold his breath and let out a bubble, immediately attracting the zombie's attention.

It moved even closer, almost flush with the water's surface.

Qin Xiaoyao was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly and dared not look, but the audience who had access to the actor's perspective were quite frightened, and tens of thousands of comments with a high proportion of mothers instantly flooded the internet.

"Huh! Huh!"
