Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

"Director, what are we supposed to do now? Just sit here and wait?"

Once the surviving guests entered the maze and began the game, the three who had already died sat idly at the starting point. Lu Xi, completely lacking any goddess-like image, propped her head up and dozed off, only pretending to be angry and letting the camera film her when the director gave her a hint. Huang Guohui wanted to talk to Junran, but remembering that Junran's "death" was because he had activated his suicide attack, he immediately gave up the idea. Junran tapped the table with her fingers, becoming more and more impatient, and finally asked...

【Yes. 】

The production team's response was concise and to the point.

"That won't work!"

Junran frowned and immediately retorted, "This is only the second round. Under normal circumstances, the game should last at least three rounds and take at least an hour. What are we doing sitting here doing nothing? You've confiscated our phones, and we're just sitting here doing nothing. Do you have any humanity?"

【…】

The production team had nothing to say, because what Junran said was true, and Junran had even underestimated the time. They estimated that the shooting time would need at least three hours to ensure sufficient footage.

This situation is very common, and it has always been the case when recording programs in the past. No one has ever raised any objections, so the rule has not changed.

However, now that someone has brought it up and made such a serious statement, and the other party has a high status in the entertainment industry, the production team doesn't need to confront them head-on. After discussing it, they changed the rules.

You can move around here for a bit, and then come back to shoot a few more shots when the others have stayed behind.

“That’s more like it!” Junran stood up, and immediately a cameraman approached. He didn’t care and turned to face the maze: “There’s nothing fun around here. Can we go into the maze? We’re ‘dead,’ so we won’t cause any trouble. We’ll just take a look.”

The production team hesitated somewhat regarding this request.

They discussed it again and decided to put the eliminated guests into the maze. This approach has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it would make the show more interesting, since the eliminated guests and the guests currently playing the game might create unexpected sparks. As for the disadvantages, these guests have already been eliminated and are not considered part of the game, but they can provide information to the guests in the game. Even if they don't say it, who knows if they will pass on the message through subtle actions?

In this situation, it all depends on the choice.

【Can. 】

The production team ultimately succumbed to the potential for unexpected results. After all, the purpose of making this show was to create highlights and attract viewers. The show had already aired for many episodes, and viewers were becoming increasingly fatigued. They needed a change, even if it was just a small one.

"That's good, let's go!"

Having achieved the result she wanted, Junran triumphantly brushed aside her newly styled bangs and, accompanied by two paparazzi, entered the maze through her own door.

-

"You violated the Alliance's laws by taking someone else's demon core without permission last time. The reason the Alliance hasn't enacted a law to deal with you is simply because of insufficient evidence. Under these circumstances, you still dare to act blatantly. I admire you!"

In the dimly lit corner, Junran walked out step by step, clapping casually with his hands, looking lazy and relaxed.

As he approached, the two cameramen following behind him gradually came into view. The two cameramen casually held their equipment, and with one of their free hands, they each carried a person. Yu Liu took a closer look and realized that the person was none other than Li Zi'an, who had also planned to kidnap Miao Yeyu earlier.

What exactly is going on? Yu Liu was increasingly confused about the situation. She thought that even if Jun Ran discovered something, he wouldn't be able to help much given his current condition. She never imagined that Jun Ran would have helpers. And what was this "Demon Exorcist Alliance" that Jun Ran mentioned? If they were all demon exorcists, then Miao Yeyu was a demon. Shouldn't they be dealing with Miao Yeyu?

"Jun Ran?" Li Wenbu narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking at the person who had appeared as expected: "You really are from the Demon Exorcist Alliance!"

"Hey! Don't talk to me like I already knew it, okay? I haven't even concealed my aura. Anyone with a little cultivation could tell I'm unusual, and they could guess what's going on! Your tone doesn't show your wisdom, really, it just makes me think you're stupid!"

Upon hearing Li Wenbu's words, Junran's face scrunched up in disgust, her gaze fixed on something repulsive.

"You!" Li Wenbu was enraged almost instantly. He raised his hand, and a burst of red light burst forth from it, gradually elongating into a sword.

"go to hell!"

He lunged forward, the tip of his longsword pointing directly at Jun Ran, while flames ignited in his left hand, which he then released first.

Faced with the simultaneous attack of the longsword and flames, Jun Ran smiled slightly, showing no concern whatsoever.

Just then, the two cameramen behind Junran suddenly exerted force in their arms, and with perfect coordination, they raised their hands and released them. Li Zian, who was being held by the two of them, was easily thrown out, just over Junran's head. Li Zian, having lost momentum, began to fall, and his body landed perfectly between Junran and the flames.

Once a spell has been cast, it's difficult to take it back. Li Wenbu could only watch helplessly as the flames struck Li Zian. In a flash, his wrist flicked, and the tip of his sword immediately shifted direction, grazing past Li Zian's body and missing its mark.

"what--"

The flames, upon striking his body, released a burnt smell and ignited Li Zian's clothes. The unconscious Li Zian immediately woke up, and the pain reached his brain, causing him to scream almost instantly.

"flutter--"

With his shout, he landed on the ground with a thud.

Ignoring the screaming Li Zian, Li Wenbu turned his sword again, pulled his arm back in an arc, and slashed horizontally at Jun Ran.

One of the two cameramen behind Junran casually threw away his equipment, reached for his waist and pulled out a short knife. The flat blade was the same knife that Miao Yeyu, the gambler, used to kill. The man seemed unaware that the knife hadn't been sharpened. He twirled the short knife in his hand a few times, just enough to block Li Wenbu's horizontal slash.
