The male supporting character was actually myself.

Didn't you see that the entire mansion is covered with talismans and peach wood swords for protection? If Master Qian believes that the feng shui of the house is bad, he can ask our accomplices to do a divination and move to another place. Wouldn't that force him to move the gold out of the treasury?

I just don't know where the entrance to the treasury is. Master Qian led us to the entrance, but how many people are in this family? Can they withstand the bandits of our Great Fortune Mountain?

"Once we've emptied the vault, kid, you'll join our stronghold. We'll share the good times and the bad!"

While reciting his lines with a mix of truth and falsehood, Wang Weizhuo was actually plotting his own scheme.

Later in the story, there's a great battle between bandits and the Qian family. But it's all just a reality show for the audience, with no special camera angles or dedicated shots. Who would pay attention to a lowly guard like myself?

Once things get chaotic, he'll sneak into the vault and stuff gold into it!

They're all mine! All of those are mine!

"Let's go, let's lie in wait and cause chaos in the manor." Wang Weizhuo found the young man extremely pleasing to the eye, patted him on the shoulder, and told Liu Yihong to follow.

The sudden plot twist completely caught the experienced Liu Yihong off guard.

The reality show had only been running for a short time when the countdown had already accumulated to several days. I thought it would be difficult to uncover the secret, but who knew that the undercover agent would reveal himself and solve the mystery of the missing bride. So what secrets are there to solve in the long run?

Why doesn't the production team do anything about this?

Chapter Thirteen: My Wish is World Peace

Liu Yihong followed the guards slowly toward the side courtyard. He glanced back at the dark houses shrouded in the dim light and thought to himself that he had to find a way to send a message so that Wang He and the others could rescue Sun Dieqi!

Otherwise, if that venomous snake were to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"There are still several days left in the countdown, could it be..." He suddenly remembered the missing zombie.

The supposedly disappearing bride is just a cover. What was supposed to be a supernatural show gradually revealing the mystery has slowly turned into a thrilling tomb raiding story, hasn't it?

The thought of possibly having to fight zombies made Liu Yihong's teeth ache.

Qin Xiaoyao is indeed very good at fighting, but girls don't have an advantage in terms of physical strength;

Sun Dieqi and Fang Fei were basically just friends;

Zeng Hao seems very laid-back. Professional actors are generally not in any life-threatening danger, so there's no need for them to risk their lives.

Then it's up to me and Wang He, the two men.

"Sigh... a sinner, inferior to others, ha!" He recalled Qin Xiaoyao's words, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

If their ancestors were truly war criminals, then being treated differently is understandable; after all, someone needs to bear the blame for wrongdoing. But if none of that is true, and it's just a facade fabricated by the Federation to exploit District Twelve, why should they continue to live such a lowly existence?

He clenched his right fist tightly, determined to find out the truth after leaving the show.

At that time, I will join the resistance even if it costs me my life, and even if I die in battle, I will die knowing why!

"Squeak!"

The wooden door creaked open, and Sun Dieqi tensed up instantly, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She clutched a red handkerchief tightly in her hand, barely daring to breathe.

The young master shut the others out of the room, went inside, and saw the bride sitting on the bed. He knew that the viewers who had purchased her perspective were watching his every move.

He maintained his cold demeanor and stepped forward to lift the red veil.

A soft and familiar face slowly rose under the flickering red candlelight, and the moment those big, watery eyes looked over, the young master was completely dumbfounded.

It was her?!

“You…” The extra playing the young master, whose role was minor, felt his heart pounding.

How could it be Sun Dieqi? Oh my god, she's so beautiful!

As her ardent fan, the young master almost collapsed to his knees in worship of his goddess.

If he weren't facing the camera and filming a reality show, he really wouldn't want to miss such a great opportunity to ask the goddess for an autograph and a photo. Maybe he could even get a hug since they were acting together...

"You...you're not Peach Blossom!" After a two-second pause, a whole fan-fiction movie playing out in his mind, he finally remembered what he needed to do and hurriedly shouted, "Help! Someone come quick!"

The extras who had been waiting outside rushed in and quickly tied Sun Dieqi up and threw her into the bridal chamber. The group of people went through the scene noisily, closed the door, and left.

"Sister Sun, don't be afraid, I'm here." Qin Xiaoyao came out from the corner where she was hiding, used her dagger to cut the ropes binding her, and whispered, "Let's search the house first and see if we can find any clues."

Jiang Chen was playing with the venomous snake that Liu Yihong had shoved into his hand.

The venomous snake, which had been fierce with its black scales standing on end and its forked tongue flicking as if it were about to attack, was now as docile as a noodle in the demon's hands, even rubbing against his arm in a flattering manner.

"Meow meow meow! Host, why are you holding such a scary thing?" The little white cat was obviously terrified of snakes. Upon seeing it, it backed away, its fur standing on end, and its voice changed from a soft, sweet little girl's voice to a piercing scream. "Throw it away! Throw it away! It's too scary! Waaah, I'm getting goosebumps all over! Snakes and other cold-blooded animals are the scariest!"

The venomous snake flicked its tongue again, scaring the creature so much that its white fur almost faded, and it trembled all over, hiding under its host's wings and covering its face with its claws.

Jiang Chen: ...

You're a support system, invincible in the mission world.

Why are you so scared of a snake?

"It was prepared by the production team. In the original plot, Qin Xiaoyao 'accidentally' released it, causing the deaths of many extras and arousing public anger." He wrapped it around his right wrist as a pendant and patted the fluffy ball with his left hand to comfort it. "Don't be afraid. After I'm done using it, I'll find a suitable place to release it."

Little White's trembling kitten teeth were chattering, and her voice stammered, "When...when will the monks be released? Meow, I'm so scared~"

"Soon, this reality show will be over." Jiang Chen looked up at the still dim sky, planning in his mind how to make Qin Xiaoyao and the others defeat the zombies without making it seem too fake.

The two girls ransacked the new house.

Sun Dieqi deliberately kept the search compartment within her own area, carefully avoiding touching it.

"Hey? Sister Sun, look at this. The Qian family's business seems a bit shady." Qin Xiaoyao quickly placed the letters and other clues she had found on the table and examined them. "Strange, what kind of accounts are these?"

Sun Dieqi had only read the script to the extent that she was supposed to target Qin Xiaoyao. As for the secrets of the Qian family, those were likely major selling points of the show and wouldn't be easily revealed.

She stepped forward and examined the torn hand-drawn map that had been pieced together. "Look here, isn't this a picture of an ancestral hall?"

On the tattered hand-drawn map, there was a red checkmark on a large house, and a checkmark on a smaller house slightly below it.

"What does this mean? Is there a secret passage between the two houses?"

"No, no, no, it might just be some hidden clue..." Sun Dieqi, feeling guilty, was afraid that she would think of a secret passage and go back to look at the bed where the bride had sat, which she was in charge of searching.

If the contents of the hidden compartment are released, it will be a huge problem!

Qin Xiaoyao had a deep impression of the fashion show she experienced in her previous life, because her life took a complete downfall after leaving there. The problem was that in her previous life, she was under the influence of drugs and was in a state of unconsciousness throughout. Not to mention remembering any plot clues, she couldn't even remember her interactions with the other actors.

I vaguely remember someone leading me to safety, and then we were attacked by a terrifying monster, who tore me to pieces...

"Alright, we've searched almost everything here. Let's meet up with them and see if there are any clues at the ancestral hall." Just as Sun Dieqi was about to pull Qin Xiaoyao away, a muffled thud came from the bed decorated with red curtains.

Sun Dieqi turned pale with fright and instinctively grabbed the other person, ready to run away;

"It looks like a secret passage!" Qin Xiaoyao, who was unaware of the situation, could see it clearly. Since Mr. Devil had opened it for her, there must be no danger. So she excitedly pulled Sun Dieqi closer, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's see what's going on."

Sun Dieqi resisted with all her might, but nothing terrifying emerged from the dark compartment.

She was also a little unsure; had the production team changed their strategy at the last minute?

Following Mr. Devil's instructions, Qin Xiaoyao took a kerosene lamp with a glass cover from the table to illuminate the room, and with a dagger in one hand, she went down into the hidden compartment first. After carefully checking that there was no danger, she called Sun Dieqi down as well.

"No way? The story is suddenly taking a strange turn. Are we going to go tomb raiding?"

"Liu Yihong has already deciphered it—the seven brides of the Qian family were all deliberately killed, with the aim of making Master Qian believe the nonsense about bad feng shui so that bandits could come and steal the gold."

Spoilers, get lost!

"I feel like the arrangement of this reality show is weird, like nothing makes sense."

"Did the production team not interfere? Judging from the smoothness of the plot in previous reality shows, there would be prompts if the mystery couldn't be solved for a long time, and someone would be warned if they were too abrupt."

Qin Xiaoyao acted too arrogantly today, openly saying that her words weren't censored; that's definitely a bit unusual.

"This secret passage is so spacious, could it lead to some ancient tomb underground?"

"I'm so worried that the two of them will run into zombies."

"Oh right, where did that zombie go? There's been no sound at all."

…………

To alleviate the oppressive atmosphere, viewers in the first-person perspective flooded the screen with comments.

However, Qin Xiaoyao, who was crouching as she walked through the secret passage, could only hear Sun Dieqi's panting behind her. The secret passage extended downwards and had many hidden ventilation holes along the way.

"Xiao Yao, please be careful!" Sun Dieqi's voice trembled slightly. She was terrified as she watched the other person push open each ventilation hole and look out.

She had no idea what the production team was up to, or what was in the hidden compartment that Qin Xiaoyao absolutely had to open.

After walking through the secret passage for quite a while, they saw nothing but dry soil, and she began to doubt whether the script she had received was fake.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. The fact that I was able to replace the newly appointed director shows that the old guy put his heart into it. Why would I bother to fool people with a fake script?

Sun Dieqi carefully reviewed what had happened after entering the show, and a bold idea suddenly popped into her head—had the show gone out of control?

The reality show, which has received strong support from the Federal Headquarters, has never had any unexpected incidents.

However, everything that happened today is too incredible, as if an unseen hand is manipulating it.

Her gaze fell on Qin Xiaoyao, who was scouting ahead, and she swallowed hard. She had prepared carefully and watched all of Qin Xiaoyao's shows. Logically speaking, Qin Xiaoyao, who was just selected from Luoyue City, should not have undergone such a dramatic transformation after being tricked one after another in the shows without the guidance of an expert.

Being penniless and destitute made one the target of everyone;

After his debut, he was imprisoned and abused due to his poor reputation.

She showed no improvement or change in three consecutive reality shows.

Why does she suddenly seem like a completely different person this time?

A woman's keen intuition ignited a fire in Sun Dieqi's heart. She tried to suppress her excitement and asked, "Xiao Yao, do you... do you know the legend of the guardian angel?"

Angel?

Do such holy beings really exist in the world?

"I don't know." Her mother's kind smile flashed before her eyes again, and she thought that if there really were angels in the world, shouldn't they protect good people like her mother who are gentle, kind and strong?

Struggling to survive in Fallen Moon City, they had never heard of an angel responding to the prayers of the suffering.

On the contrary, it was Him...

Qin Xiaoyao looked up slightly at the sky. The Devil heard her desperate call and helped her out of confusion to find new hope.

If angels truly exist, they are certainly not as kind-hearted as Mr. Devil.

To break the awkward silence and to test whether the other party had any extraordinary trump cards, Sun Dieqi lowered her voice and explained, "There is a legend in our Great Xun Kingdom."

It is said that a kind, pure, and innocent soul is born with a guardian angel. As long as one remains true to their heart, the guardian angel will answer their prayers and grant all their wishes.
