Chapter 223 Stepping Stones in Variety Shows 18
Qingyu did not answer Lin Feiyue's question, but instead felt the aura emanating from the stone in her hand, becoming even more certain that the greatest mystery in the world lay on this small grassland.
She suddenly looked at Gu Qiwen, leaned closer to him, and whispered, "How did you find this place?"
Gu Qiwen was startled by the fragrant aroma and glanced at Xie Zeyan instinctively. "Someone introduced me to this person at the last minute."
Qingyu didn't miss his subconscious glance, and instead breathed a sigh of relief.
Her suspicions were not wrong.
By this time, the group of people had already rushed up to them. Since they were people arranged by the production team, these so-called "bad guys" were not very dangerous, and the strangely dressed tribesmen did not come to help much.
They acted like pre-arranged characters, feigning panic and watching us slowly put up a fight.
Within fifteen minutes, the "bad guy" was chased away.
On the surface, all the male guests were protecting their female guests, and there should have been an atmosphere of ambiguity and interaction. However, the magnetic field between everyone seemed to be disordered. Except for Qingyu, everyone's eyes were as clear as spring water when they looked at each other.
There was not a trace of ambiguity, and those observing from outside the screen fell silent.
"I... can't seem to get a good feel out of it, I really can't feel anything?"
"It feels like watching an adventure show."
"Everyone has changed a bit!"
……
The various speculations did not reach the guests' ears. They were invited into a series of small wooden cabins by the group. The cabins were spacious and had a unique beauty. Several women dressed in strange clothes came out of the cabins and warmly greeted them.
Everyone was waiting for the production team to announce the rules regarding the allocation of the cabins.
The staff first thanked the tribespeople before explaining the rules, "Next up is a relay game between men and women, as you can see next to us..."
Everyone's attention was drawn to it, but Qingyu, gazing at the wooden houses, suddenly had a thought.
She glanced at the crowd and quietly walked towards one of the wooden houses, because she sensed a faint, familiar aura emanating from it. This made her feel uneasy, like a cat's claws were scratching her, and she had to go and find out what was going on.
Fortunately, no one stopped her.
Gu Qiwen, who was already somewhat at a loss, saw Qingyu's actions and, on a whim, followed her.
Seeing this, the other guests wanted to follow, but they were all stopped by the staff and could only stand there and wait for instructions.
"What does this mean?" Gu Yao was the first to express his dissatisfaction. "He's the director, does he have special privileges?"
The staff member gave an awkward smile, wanting to explain but not knowing how, and simply wouldn't let the group leave.
On the other side, after Qingyu entered the wooden house, she found that the walls inside were covered with strange symbols, which were exactly the same as those on the stone she had been holding earlier.
She approached closely, her usually cool eyes filled with seriousness. She couldn't understand these runes, but time and time again…
That's clearly gone too far.
Just then, Gu Qiwen's voice came from behind: "Do you know something?"
Qingyu already knew he was coming. Upon hearing this, she turned around and glanced at him. Before she could speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"Girls should sleep with girls! This rule is unacceptable!"
"What's wrong?"
Judging from the sounds, it turned out that Lin Feiyue and Xie Zeyan had a dispute. Lin Feiyue was dissatisfied with the way the cabins were allocated, believing that there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation, while Xie Zeyan thought she was being unreasonable.
The argument between the two attracted everyone's attention, and staff rushed over to explain and mediate.
Inside the room, Qingyu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
Arguing at times like this will only disrupt her plans.
"Should we go out and take a look?" Gu Qiwen suggested. Qingyu gave him a cold look. He touched his nose and saw her turn around to continue studying the runes on the wall. However, he was really attracted by the noise outside and couldn't rest easy, so he went out to check the situation.
With only herself in the room, it was easier for Qingyu to search around.
She groped around in the cabin and suddenly bumped into a loose plank. She gently pushed it aside, and a cloud of dust rushed in, causing her to take a step back.
Once the dust settled, they discovered a tattered booklet hidden behind the wooden board.
Qingyu pursed her red lips, her eyes darkening, and pulled out the system, "Are you sure this world is normal? Is this a romance-themed world?"
System: "...No, I'm not sure." Its eyes darted around, clearly showing some guilt and helplessness.
Meeting Qingyu's cold gaze, it blinked and tentatively said, "Didn't you already guess that those two groups of people were there?"
Qingyu sighed and patted the system's head, "Your brain..."
She had guessed it, but as she discovered these runes and auras, she became increasingly suspicious that this world was a conspiracy.
There was no timely revelation.
After calming down, Qingyu picked up the booklet and flipped through it casually. She found that the booklet was filled with interpretations of runes and some ancient records. These records seemed to belong to another time and space, or rather, a fictional world.
Qingyu quickly browsed through the pages, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.
At the end, the booklet reads: "This grassland hides an entrance to a mysterious space, and the key to opening this entrance lies within these runes. May the destined one be able to open it!"
Every word and phrase read like a description of a myth. Qingyu put the book away, put the stone in her hand into it, restored everything, and walked out of the house as if nothing had happened.
Outside the door, the argument was escalating.
Lin Feiyue was so angry that her face turned red, and Xie Zeyan also looked impatient.
Gu Qiwen tried to persuade him, but to no avail.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Qingyu strolled out leisurely.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to her. The former leader, seeing the direction she was coming from, changed his expression. "You went into that room? You didn't rummage through anything, did you?"
Qingyu glanced at him blankly. "With so many of you... how could you not see me go in? Since you let me in, why are you asking?"
A normal person would argue or even explain why they didn't go, but Qingyu's straightforward question made the leader stare blankly for a moment, then his brows furrowed, and he said unhappily, "What do you mean?"
Qingyu chuckled softly, her captivating eyes turning to Gu Qiwen. "Explain it yourself."
Gu Qiwen wiped his forehead and, feigning composure, strode forward to communicate.
Gu Qiwen walked up to the leader and said a few words in a low voice. The leader's expression changed several times before he finally nodded slowly.
Everyone was curious about what they had talked about, and Lin Feiyue couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
Gu Qiwen turned around, cleared his throat and said, "Actually, this was an extra exploration segment set up by the production team. Qingyu was just acting according to the script."
Everyone was in an uproar.
