Super Thrilling Live Broadcast Chapter 5: I am the anchor
Chapter 5 I am the anchor
The question of whether there are ghosts in the world is much more difficult than the chicken and the egg. After all, most people know the taste of the chicken and the egg, but few people have seen the appearance of a ghost. .
Presumably even someone who specializes in spiritual research cannot give a definite answer at this time, let alone me, a third-rate detective who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.
Just because you don't know, doesn't mean you can't answer. When people live in this world, many times they don't need to give the correct answer, they just need to tell the answer that others are willing to hear.
The masked man said at the beginning that if he wants to become the anchor of the underworld show, he must not only be good at communicating with the audience, but also learn to protect himself.
This sentence is full of hints, the test has already begun since I entered the door.
I didn't worry about whether there are ghosts in the world, but reorganized my experience that night, the legend of the road without lights, the grandmother holding the doll in the rainy night, the interviewer with the paper face, five ways Weird topic.
Everything seems to be to break common sense and prepare for this last question.
They have prepared so much, the answer they want is actually obvious.
"I believe there are ghosts in the world, this is my answer."
As soon as the words fell, applause broke out in the small room, and on the other side of the tribute table, the three interviewers clapped their hands stiffly.
"You answered four of the five questions correctly, congratulations, Mr. Gao, you will be officially hired by the underworld show, and become the contracted anchor of our company."
Because of many reasons, I have been rejected by companies large and small in Jiangcheng no less than a hundred times. There is no joy in being hired.
"I'm hired now? Is it too hasty?"
"No, you are the most suitable candidate we have ever met. If there is no other doubt, let's sign the contract here." The man who had been sitting in the middle slowly got up. The paper man's face looked at me horizontally across the table.
"I do have some questions, but I answered four of the five questions correctly. Can you tell me which question I got wrong?" A mistake in reasoning is fatal to a detective.
"You don't need to know now..." A chuckle came from under the mask of the paper man: "Because you will soon experience that despair for yourself, and you will understand exactly which question you are wrong on. "
"Personal experience? What a bad answer." Anyone with a normal mind would probably not be willing to experience the scenes in those questions.
"Mr. Gao, do you have any other questions?"
"No more..." How could there be no? My brain is currently surrounded by countless doubts, but I can't ask these questions at all, or even if I ask them, the other party will definitely not answer them, and it will even cause me to kill myself.
If you want to spend the night safely, the most sensible choice is to obey the surface. After leaving here, call the police immediately, and cooperate with the police to catch these "psychopaths".
"Okay then, prepare to sign the contract." He took out a paper roll with a yellowish and black surface that was quite old from under the tribute table, grabbed my right hand and pressed it.
"It's so cool..." The first time I had physical contact with the masked man, I found that his body was unexpectedly cold. It felt like a corpse frozen in a morgue waiting to be claimed.
"What is this going to do?" Before I could recover, I saw a strange insect crawling out from under the floor, which looked like a centipede, but had a one-to-two-centimeter horn growing on its forehead like a dragon.
It climbed up the tribute table along the legs of the table, and moved rapidly.
I wanted to dodge, but the masked man's arms pressed me to death like iron clamps. I couldn't struggle and could only watch the monster bite my wrist.
"Ah!" The needle pierced into the bone, and the severe pain made me cry out, but the pain only lasted for a few seconds. When I woke up and looked again, there was a plum blossom-shaped black wound on my right wrist. The blood stained the scroll, and the strange insect lost its vitality, curled up into a ball and fell into the crack of the floor.
"The signing is complete. From today onwards, you will be a member of the underworld show." The masked man let go of his hands, his tone still lukewarm, and he moved out of the suitcase next to the seat.
"All your live broadcast equipment is provided by us, you just need to make a good show and attract more people to watch." He opened the suitcase, and there are all the tools needed for live broadcast in it: video camera, mobile encoder, selfie Pole, tripod, and even a big-screen phone included.
If it weren't for the untreated blood stains on some of these things, I would almost believe that this is a normal company.
"Your live broadcast tasks will be posted directly to your mobile phone by us. You can choose the live broadcast method yourself, but please remember that you must use the tools we provide after the broadcast, because only our equipment can capture ordinary What people can't see."
"After each live broadcast, we will rate your performance based on popularity and gifts. Points can be accumulated and exchanged for many unexpected good things from us."
"However, if there is a reward, there will be a punishment. When your points are negative, you will disappear without leaving a trace, just like Xia Chi who brought you here!"
Hearing this, I can no longer pretend to be calm. I can casually make a person disappear without a sound. This should be a huge organized criminal group. Also inadvertently boarded a pirate ship.
"The details are written in the signing agreement, can you see if there is anything you don't understand?"
I picked up the roll of paper soaked in my own blood, and there were a lot of rules and regulations on it.
It is worth noting that there is a point redemption form printed on the back of the agreement.
The first line reads: One point can be exchanged for 100 grams of pure gold.
"Just kidding, now one gram of gold can be sold for 250 yuan, and one hundred grams is 25,000 yuan."
Continue to look down, five points can be exchanged for Thai Gumantong (little devil).
Seven points can be exchanged for Xiangxi Corpse Gu, 10 points can be exchanged for Tai Sui, 12 points can be exchanged for the handwritten copy of the Jade Girl's Joy Magic, 15 points can be used to open the eyes of ordinary people, 20 points can be used to clean the muscles and bones, and 30 points... ...
"What is this all about?" The dense crowd of evil sects asked crookedly, I didn't know what to say, it felt like I was not in the same world at all.
Looking down, I saw the end of the exchange table:
…
Yangshou, a thousand points can last for twelve hours.
Wan Fen can choose to quit, and everything will return to the original point.
"After reading it, the agreement is closed. Please familiarize yourself with the live broadcast tool as soon as possible. Your first live broadcast will probably be held tomorrow night."
"Can I say no?"
"We don't intervene in how to choose, but your current points are zero, and ten points will be deducted once you stop broadcasting."
"OK, I see, can I go now?" To be honest, I don't want to stay here for a moment.
"If you don't understand, you can call me. The mobile phone in the suitcase can contact me." The man held the paper mask with one hand, and gently waved the other hand, and the closed door slowly opened: "Mr. Gao, I can see that you are a cautious and smart person. I hope you can take every live broadcast seriously and don't make fun of your own life."
"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet." Picking up the suitcase, I walked out the door quickly, and I don't know how long I stayed in the room. plaster.
"Mr. Gao, I sincerely hope that you can live..."
I didn't hear the words behind the masked man, anyway, I couldn't say anything good from that lunatic.
Pushing open the door of room 444, I went up in the dark, and I ran out of the corridor in one breath, regardless of east, west, north, south, and ran along the street.
It felt like I had been running for a long time, and finally there was a light in front of my eyes: "It's the headlights!"
"Where are you going?" A taxi stopped in front of him, and the driver was a bald uncle.
"Go back to the new district, east of Tingtang Road, Jiangcheng." I couldn't wait to slap on the car door.
"The starting price is 20, and the latest regulations add another one yuan to the fuel fee."
"Don't be so wordy, open the door quickly." I was still in shock, why would I care about this little money, panting heavily, and hugged the suitcase tightly.
"Brother, it's not that I don't pull you. At night, you are holding a suitcase in a hurry. Who knows what you have in it? What if..."
"You're overthinking." I opened the suitcase to reveal the camera inside: "Don't worry, open the door, I'm just a desperate anchor active in the front line of death."
