The female ghost’s hair was long and straight, and her pair of green eyes were glowing under her hair. In an instant, she thought of the various ways cannon fodder died in horror movies on television, and her entire heart trembled.
Almost in an instant, tears uncontrollably fell.
Cheng Yi bit her lip hard and resisted the urge to scream. She took a step back and smashed the flashlight in her hand at the female ghost!
The director of the secret room, who was sitting in front of the surveillance camera, saw this scene. He stood up and warned sternly through the walkie-talkie. “If you’re afraid, squat down with your hands on your head.
Don’t attack the staff.’
He Ning, who was standing guard outside, knew that something had happened when he heard the voice on the walkie-talkie. He hurriedly walked towards the kitchen and bumped into Cheng Yi, who was rushing over.
The plate in her hand fell to the ground, along with the buns.
“Xiao Yi, did you hit the staff member just now?” He Ning asked as he supported her.
Cheng Yi heard He Ning’s voice and managed to calm down. Then, she choked. “I’m sorry, second brother. I was too scared, so I hit him subconsciously. I didn’t hit him hard.”
He Ning saw that she was crying and couldn’t blame her. He apologized to the director of the secret room through the walkie-talkie and went back to look for the flashlight.
The ghost was gone, and the torchlight that smashed people was still on the ground. It looked a lot dimmer as if it had been smashed.
He picked up the flashlight and said, “I might have to pay for it.”
Cheng Yi was still apologizing profusely. “I’m sorry, second brother. It’s my fault. I’ll pay for it when we get out.”
He Ning didn’t say anything. He led her back and picked up the buns and plates on the ground. He pretended that nothing had happened. “Let’s go back.”
Cheng Yi held the bun in her hand and gripped He Ning’s clothes uneasily. She said in a muffled voice, “Second brother, can you not tell others about this? I don’t want others to know that I’m so useless.”
He Ning understood how she felt, especially when she was in front of such an outstanding He Jing. He sighed softly. “I won’t say anything. I accidentally fell and broke the flashlight. I came to look for you because I was worried about you. No one knows what happened here.”
Cheng Yi was finally relieved. She followed He Ning to the wedding hall. He Sui, who didn’t know what was going on, was stunned. “second brother, this is a solo mission. Why did you come back with Xiao Yi?”
Without waiting for He Ning to answer, Cheng Yi quickly said, “Second brother was worried about me, so he specially went to help me. But when he went, I had already come out of the kitchen, so it was considered a solo mission.” He Ning didn’t want to expose her, so he replied with a faint “yes.”
“Oh!” He Sui believed him. Shen Qiuyu asked again, “Why is the flashlight not working?”
This time, Cheng Yi didn’t answer again because it would be wrong to say more. If she said it again, it would seem like she was guilty, and trying to cover it up would make it worse.
“It’s bad,” He Ning said calmly.
Shen Qiuyu didn’t ask anymore. After all, it was common for secret rooms to use inferior props to save costs.
After getting through this, Cheng Yi placed the steamed bun on the wedding table. He Chen, who had been concerned about the progress of the game, asked, “Is this the only dish?”
How could there only be one dish at a banquet? Cheng Yi tried to hide her fear.
“Because I was still a little scared. I only took one dish. I’ll go get more.”
He Ning was afraid that she would beat up the staff again, so she quickly stepped forward. “I’ll go. The kitchen is small and there are high stairs. It’s easy to trip. It’s not convenient for you to wear a dress.”
Cheng Yi was more than happy to ask for it. She wanted to nod, but she still pretended to be troubled. “I’ll go, second brother. I have to finish what I started..”
