The recording of the first night in Meimeng Bookstore ended inexplicably. Bu Nan was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it, but he did have few words.

After simply recording the closing remarks, Bu Nan waved his hand and let everyone leave.

Shi Xin untied the tails hanging behind him one by one, and neatly put them together.

Suddenly an old voice sounded behind Shi Xin.

"Young man? I saw that you have wonderful bones, and you are right in Tiangong! You are very suitable to learn from me!"

Shi Xin was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see the old expert who had disappeared all night standing behind him, laying on his goatee, looking at Shi Xin with an unfathomable expression.

Shi Xin took off the last tail, bent down and gathered the ten tails together, and put them neatly into the item box.

"If I remember correctly, you are an expert this time, right? What? You don't believe in science, but in Taoism?"

The old expert didn't change his face: "No, no, science can be learned, and Taoism can also be learned! How about it? Young man? If you want, I can take you as an apprentice!"

Shi Xin turned her head to face the old man who looked like a charlatan, and wondered why Bu Nan found such an unreliable expert.

"Thank you for your kindness. I was born to learn Buddhism, and I shouldn't be biased in the future." Shi Xin said.

The old expert shrugged with a smile, looked around, pointed to the sky, and gestured with his little finger.

"Buddhism? Young man, let me tell you the old way. In the age of the end of the Dharma, there is no Buddha for a long time. Those who believe in Buddha now believe in empty talk."

Shi Xin froze for a moment, and the smile on his face cooled down.

"You are joking, how can there be no Buddha in this world?"

Seeing that Shi Xin's face turned cold, the old expert sighed: "I keep my word. As long as you think about it, I can take you as a disciple at any time. You have nowhere to use your abilities. Sooner or later, you will learn from me."

After the words fell, the old expert turned around and walked away waddlingly.

Shi Xin put the lid on the props, looked up at the dark sky.

How can there be no Buddha in this world?

Although he took a shower before releasing his heart, he still had to take a shower again because of the dust all over his body after the recording of the show.

In the dilapidated small alley, it was inconvenient to boil water. The staff lined up to boil water one by one. A few young people couldn't wait any longer, so they borrowed some water from others, wiped it off and went to bed.

Shi Xin lined up patiently, and Yin Xi was right behind Shi Xin.

Several times a staff member offered to give Yin Xi some hot water, but Yin Xi refused. He followed Shi Xin all the time, as if he had made up his mind to boil the water himself.

There is not much space in a small room, and there is almost no space for a bed.

The wooden barrel was very heavy, and the female staff of the program group were all carried by the male staff.

Fortunately, Shi Xin had a lot of strength, so he brought in the big wooden bucket he had used before, and started pouring hot water into it.

Halfway down, he suddenly remembered something, and looked back at Yin Xi who was still standing at the door.

His eyes unconsciously looked at Yin Xi's body hidden under his suit, tilted his head and thought for a while, walked out the door and brought in another wooden bucket, and put it next to his wooden bucket.

Yin Xi's eyebrows were raised by Shi Xin's eyes, what does this mean?

Think he can't do it?

Shi Xin put the bucket away, then turned to Yin Xi and said, "The bucket has been put away for you, you can pour the water yourself."

As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. Seeing him take off his clothes, Yin Xi turned around and went out again.

Shi Xin put the red robe aside, got into the hot water, and looked at the door that Yin Xi had not forgotten to close tightly before leaving.

Once again, he was certain in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for Yin Xi to have any strange interest in him.

After Shi Xin took a shower and poured water, Yin Xi came in from the outside as if pinching the time, and silently poured water into the wooden barrel.

Shi Xin originally turned his back to Yin Xi, but later he thought it seemed too strange for him to do so, so he simply sat by the bed and flipped through the book.

This book is exactly the wordless Buddhist scripture. After Shi Xin came out of the hallucination, he deliberately brought this book out.

Under the light, the cover of this book is golden, but there is no word inside.

The little puppet leaning against the wall behind Shi Xin secretly tugged at the corner of Shi Xin's clothes, when Shi Xin turned around, he saw the little puppet looking up at him pitifully.

Said in a small voice: "Xinxin, you have ignored me all day!"

Shi Xin stretched out her hand and pinched the little doll's cheek, then patted the little doll's head comfortingly, put her fingertips on the center of her lips, and signaled the little doll not to speak, lest Yin Xi would notice the abnormality.

The little puppet puffed its mouth, but sat down obediently with its head down.

Yin Xi, who was sitting in the wooden barrel, paused for a moment to pick up the water, and the sound of splashing water stopped for a moment, Shi Xin didn't notice this detail.

Until Yin Xi said: "Relax, help me wipe my back."

Shi Xin's fingers curled up as he turned the pages of the book, and the pages fell from his fingertips.

He looked up at Yin Xi whose back was soaking in the wooden barrel with his back facing him. The exposed half of the back was obviously covered with thin but not weak muscles.

Yin Xi raised his right hand, his wrist was bruised and purple.

It was the trace that Shi Xin went crazy and pressed when he entered the hallucination.

Shi Xin knew he was wrong, put down the book and walked over, he walked very slowly, dawdling.

Yin Xi said again, "The water will get cold in a while."

As he said that, Yin Xi handed over a towel soaked in water. The towel was folded squarely, and Shi Xin took it, and his dry fingertips were immediately wet.

The towel quickly evaporated its heat from the hot water, Shi Xin held the towel and pressed it on Yin Xi's back, and wiped it gently.

Yin Xi moved his body forward, freeing his back to relieve his heart.

He said, "Stronger."

He relieved his heart and pressed his palm, but his strength was still not strong.

It was the first time he wiped someone's back, he was afraid that it would hurt someone if he accidentally wiped his back.

However, Yin Xi reminded him over and over again:

"Stronger."

"Strength."

"The strength is too small."

Shi Xin felt a little irritable when he heard it, he clenched his fingers tightly, exerted strength on his wrist, pressed Yin Xi's shoulder with one hand, and wiped it vigorously with the towel in the other hand.

"Hiss—" Yin Xi hissed softly.

There was a conspicuous red mark on Yin Xi's smooth back, which was obviously scratched due to excessive strength.

pat.

The towel in Shi Xin's hand fell into the water.

For a moment, no one spoke except for the dense water vapor in the wooden barrel.

After the weird silence, Yin Xi fished out the towel from the water and handed it to Shi Xin again.

"continue."

Shi Xin squeezed the towel and looked at the red mark, feeling a little embarrassed.

He was a little at a loss holding the towel, Yin Xi suddenly looked back at him.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

This sudden back rubbing exchange ended with a red mark left on Yin Xi's back. At night, the two of them squeezed together on the same bed again, arms leaning on each other, the warmth slowly passed from each other, Shi Xin closed his eyes, Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

At noon on the second day, the staff of the "Revealing the Truth" program group got together to get a boxed lunch. Bu Nan, who was not a big fan of directors, was helping out with chopsticks.

The staff who delivered the lunch box looked at the remaining box of lunch in the box and shouted, "Why are you ordering too much lunch today?"

The staff in charge of ordering the lunch box shook his head: "No, that's the one the director asked me to add."

The staff who distributed the lunch boxes thought that Bu Nan wanted to eat another box, and without thinking too much, they put the last box in front of Bu Nan.

Bu Nan didn't seem to have a good rest last night, the circles under his eyes were dark, and he was a little dazed looking at the two boxes of lunch in front of him.

Then he stood up, took another plastic chair and placed it next to him, opened the lunch box, and inserted two chopsticks straight into the box lunch.

"Xiao Zhang, it's time to eat."

After Bu Nan inserted his chopsticks, the sounds of eating and talking around him disappeared.

Everyone looked up at Bu Nan, and the lunch box next to Bu Nan with two chopsticks sticking out like incense.

Ruan Xi licked her lips and asked dryly, "Director? What are you doing?"

Bu Nan raised his head, glanced at Ruan Xi with flat eyes, and frowned his thick eyebrows.

"What are you doing? Let's eat quickly. We will discuss the recording in the afternoon. Tonight's recording is not easy."

Ruobu Nan had already started to eat big mouthfuls, he seemed to be very hungry, and his eating expression was a bit grim.

Shi Xin stuffed a mouthful of rice silently, and looked at Bu Nan while chewing.

Bu Nan has obvious dark circles under his eyes, which looks a bit like Hao Qing from before.

Shi Xin turned her gaze, and landed on the lunch box next to Bu Nan.

"Whoosh-"

The sound of Xilihulu eating suddenly came from the right side of Shi Xin, he looked to the right, and saw the old expert sitting next to him at some point, eating wildly.

The old expert took a mouthful of rice and said vaguely: "Don't look, it must be haunted by the kid."

Shi Xin frowned: "Little devil?"

He obviously didn't see any ghostly aura on Bu Nan's body, and there was nothing strange even around the box of lunch with the chopsticks inserted vertically.

The old expert ate a box of lunch in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and burped.

"Stick your chopsticks vertically, pass ghost food, and respond to every request—but, that price is not something ordinary people can afford..."

The old expert stroked his oily beard and walked away unsteadily.

Shi Xin was still sitting where he was, thinking about the old expert's inexplicable words, when suddenly a braised chicken leg was placed on his lunch box.

Yin Xi, who was sitting on his left, retracted his chopsticks, "Eat."

Shi Xin collected her thoughts and stopped looking at Bu Nan.

He stared down at the extra chicken leg on his lunch box, picked it up and took a bite, concentrating on eating.

Behind Shi Xin, several staff members holding boxed lunches gathered together and whispered.

"Xiao Zhang? Who is Xiao Zhang?"

"Is there anyone named Zhang in our group?"

"Yes, but it's not Xiao Zhang, it's Lao Zhang! The one in charge of the lights!"

"What's wrong with the director...?"

"Strange..."

A brief meeting was held in the afternoon, and Bu Nan proposed to adjust the recording of tonight's program from 11:30 pm to [-]:[-] pm.

Several staff members looked at each other.

"This...isn't it too late?"

Bu Nan ignored the protests of several people, turned his head to look at the void beside him, nodded and said, "Really? Xiao Zhang."

Xiao Zhang?

It's Xiao Zhang again!

Everyone present looked at each other, their eyes were tinged with panic, what happened to their director?

Shi Xin squinted his eyes at Bu Nan, and he made sure again that there were no ghosts in this room.

Where did Bu Nan see Xiao Zhang?

The old expert sat in the corner with a small bench, gnawed on an apple that came from nowhere, and clicked his tongue twice.

Shi Xin glanced back at him, and the old expert immediately mouthed him.

"Learn from me?"

Shi Xin pursed her lips and stopped looking at him.

Bu Nan resisted all opinions and finally made a final decision, setting the recording time of tonight's program at 11:30 in the middle of the night.

A group of staff waited until midnight in anxiety and gathered at the door of the bookstore.

Bu Nan was holding a loudspeaker, and seemed to be the same as usual except for the thick dark circles under his eyes.

He started to talk about the rules of today's game. The editor and director of this game had already revealed some things in the afternoon, but at this time Bu Nan said that he had obviously changed a lot, in short, it was even more difficult.

"The staff will blindfold you and take you to a place where clips of horror movies will be played in a loop. You need to stay there for 10 minutes before you can come out."

"Your task this time is to collect the horror novels in this Dream Bookstore and take photos of the cover of the horror novels. The time limit is two hours. Whoever takes the most photos will be the final winner of the Dream Bookstore."

This time, the old expert didn't say that he was in poor health and couldn't participate in the game. He also honestly took a bracelet and put it on his wrist.

This is the first time they have been blindfolded since they recorded this program.

Both Ruan Xi and Wang Shiyang looked a little uneasy, and they all looked at Shi Xin with panic in their eyes.

These two people, who didn't know when they started, actually regarded Shi Xin as a backer.

Shi Xin gave the two of them a comforting smile, and said, "It's okay, let's go in and meet again."

The staff blindfolded Shi Xin and led him slowly into the bookstore.

The staff with Shi Xin seemed to be quite scared, and walked slowly, making Shi Xin's arms tremble a little.

Shi Xin couldn't help chuckling: "Don't shake."

The staff opened their mouths and stuttered: "Master Shi, Master Shi, um, what, nothing will happen to us tonight, right?"

Shi Xin asked, "What happened?"

The staff spoke in a hurry: "That's it! That's it! The director doesn't know what's wrong, he's always been Xiao Zhang Xiao Zhang, there's no Xiao Zhang in this group!"

Yin Xi squeezed the staff's arm, "You're too nervous, relax, get out as soon as you see me off, it's fine."

The staff responded, and as expected, sent Shi Xin into the room, and immediately slipped away.

There was the sound of movies in the room, and there were a few high-pitched screams from time to time.

A reminder came from the drone: "Please take off the blindfold."

After hearing this, Shi Xin took off the blindfold, and immediately met the grimace that rushed over from the small TV in front of him.

Not to mention that the filming of this movie is very scary, this grimace is decayed and festered, and the eyeballs are falling out. It is quite scary to see it suddenly.

Even Shi Xin froze from fright, and then slowly relaxed.

He turned on the flashlight and looked around, and found that this small room was obviously a temporary compartment built by Bu Nan in the bookstore.

The game required him to stay in the room for 10 minutes. Shi Xin raised his wrist and looked at his watch. From the start of the show to when they walked to the bookstore, there was already a delay. It is now 10:[-] in the middle of the night, so stay for another [-] minutes , You can leave here at [-]:[-].

10 minutes.

Shi Xin simply sat back on the chair and watched the horror movie played on the small screen with peace of mind. Not to mention that the horror movie was not badly shot, in just 10 minutes, there were already many ways to go to hell, and the people who died were all kinds of strange.

After 10 minutes, the drone issued a reminder, and the closed door of the small room opened automatically.

Shi Xin held the flashlight and pushed open the door and walked out. When the staff sent him here, he counted in his mind that he had gone upstairs twice, so he should be on the third floor of Dream Bookstore now.

Sure enough, there are some familiar bookshelves outside the small room, which are the ones that Shi Xin saw yesterday when recording the program.

He took a flashlight and looked around, planning to go downstairs to meet Ruan Xi and the others.

Since Bu Nan wanted them to act separately, he would not put them on the same floor. To a large extent, Ruan Xi and Wang Shiyang were on the same floor, while he and the old expert were alone on the first floor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Xin came downstairs, he bumped into the old expert head-on. The old expert walked in a hurry without looking at the road, and bumped into Shi Xin's shoulder with his head down.

It's okay for Shi Xin, the old expert almost fell down, so Shi Xin had to reach out to help him.

"Hey! The old man is so scared to death! It's so dark, I can't break my bones if I fall!" the old expert yelled.

Although Shi Xin was the one who got hit, she still said, "I'm sorry."

The old expert waved his hand: "That's all, by the way, my name is Ye Kui, you call me Daoist Ye... No, you should call me Expert Ye here."

Shi Xin pursed her lips and asked, "Are you really an expert?"

Ye Kui gave him a squinting look: "Why? It doesn't look like it?"

Shixin: "It's not like."

Ye Kui was blocked by Shi Xin, and stroked his beard angrily, doing self-psychological adjustment.

"That's all, if you are willing to learn from me, I won't care about you."

Shi Xin refused again: "I only study Buddhism."

Ye Kui sighed: "Why bother? There has long been no Buddha in this world."

Ye Kui originally came up from the second floor to see if he could meet other people, but now he followed Shi Xin and went downstairs again.

Shi Xin asked: "Is there anyone else on the second floor?"

Ye Kui shook his head: "Probably not."

So the two of them continued walking towards the first floor without stopping.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to step on the ground of the first floor, Ye Kui suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Shi Xin.

I saw Ye Kui's fingertips making calculations, his eyes were a little fierce.

"Something's wrong! The midnight is approaching, and this place is in great danger!"

After Ye Kui finished speaking, a loud "bang bang bang" suddenly came from the door of the bookstore directly opposite the two.

Shi Xin shines the light of the flashlight, and sees a blurry black shadow of human figures gathered outside the glass door of the bookstore. They squeeze and pat on the glass door, as if they are about to break in at any moment.

At this time, the staff responsible for contacting the experts suddenly received a call.

It was midnight, who would call him?

The staff looked at the unfamiliar phone number, thought for a while, and answered it through gritted teeth.

The phone was connected, and a hoarse male voice came from the opposite side, with anxiety in his tone.

"Hello? Is it the program group of "Revealing the Truth"? I am the expert impeller who promised you to record before. On the way to the program group, I had a car accident and I was in a coma until now. I heard that you have already started recording? Really I'm sorry..."

The staff opened their mouths in surprise: "W-what...someone has already come with a certificate! Impeller... isn't your name Ye Kui?"

The male voice on the other side of the phone was also very surprised: "Why? Ye Kui? Ye Kui is my father!"

Thinking of the urchin-like face of the old expert, the staff immediately became angry and scolded him: "What's the matter with your family? Can this kind of thing be replaced? When the director finds out, it's all your responsibility! I'm fine!"

The impeller on the other side was very anxious: "No! How could it be Ye Kui! My dad, my dad..."

Speaking of this, the impeller suddenly coughed violently, stopped after a while, and said something that made the staff stiff.

他 说:

"My dad has been dead for several years, how could he replace me in your program group?"

Ye Kui is dead, who is the person who stayed with them for two days and one night in the program group?
