Excuse Me, I Am The Real Female Lead

“Did I scare you just now?” Shi Mo said gently as he hugged Fang Mo’er.

Fang Mo’er shook her head and said indifferently, “I figured that the program team would stir up some trouble. It would be boring if they just allowed us to spend the night peacefully, wouldn’t it? However, that mask of yours does look a little exciting at night.”

“Ahem, I think it’s better if I go out first,” came Xiao Ke’s voice. Fang Mo’er looked inside and sure enough, Xiao Ke was sitting on a chair, smiling at her and Shi Mo.

Seeing that both Xiao Ke and she had been brought here while Bai Rong had been left alone in the ward, Fang Mo’er suddenly understood what this meant.

It seemed that the intention was to separate her group and use that to scare the guests that would be coming tomorrow.

The program team was indeed not being very nice. The way they were playing with the guests showed that they did not seem to be afraid that no one else would come to participate in the show in the future.

This room had obviously been tidied up by the program team. It was relatively clean and there was a pile of props stored in there. There were hoods, ghost masks, prop hammers, and so on.

Shi Mo led her to a chair at the side. “The program team’s intention is for the three of you who came in first to be split up. Two of you will pretend to disappear while the last person will wait for the other team to come tomorrow before looking for you. Only when we find you and find the clues to open the door will we be able to leave this place.”

Fang Mo’er replied, then asked, “So, are you going to be the ghost tomorrow? What about me and Xiao Ke?”

Xiao Ke continued, “The two of us will play the role of the evil spirits. We’ll put on our ghost costumes and allow the other guests to find Shi Mo so that they’ll be able to save us. However, your height will easily expose you. Fortunately, I’m similar in size to Shi Mo. As long as we disguise ourselves well, it won’t be easy for the others to discover this.”

The rules of the game sounded fun, so Fang Mo’er said, “It seems that our three groups are not companions but rivals and our mission will be to stop them from finding Shi Mo. But, what about Bai Rong? We’re in the same group. What’s her mission?”

Shi Mo’s lips curled into a smile. He said mysteriously, “She’ll be in charge of increasing the atmosphere of terror.”

Fang Mo’er smiled. It seemed that Shi Mo was going up against Bai Rong this time. She was touched. It seemed that Shi Mo remembered what Bai Rong had done to her.

Bai Rong had set her up in the past by using ruthless methods. Now that she had taken the initiative to give him such an opportunity, he could not resist making good use of it to scare her.

Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo had a connection that was almost like telepathy. Even with just a hint, they knew what the other person was trying to do.

However, Xiao Ke did not understand. Looking at the two people in front of him who were smiling slyly, he felt an inexplicable chill rise from behind him. He even shivered twice.

He suddenly felt worried for Bai Rong. She was so timid that she would surely be scared out of her wits.

There was a small bed in this room that a doctor would use to examine a patient’s body which would fit one person.

The two men sat on the chairs to rest and gave the bed to Fang Mo’er.

On one side, the three of them had already started to get some rest. On the other side, Bai Rong was still shivering under the quilt.

After waiting for a long time, she did not hear Fang Mo’er speak again, nor did she hear any movement. She quietly called out, “Fang Mo’er?”

She did not get a reply.

She thought that perhaps Fang Mo’er could not hear her because she was under the blanket and her voice was too soft. So, she raised her voice again, “Fang Mo’er, are you still there?”

There was still no response.

Her heart was gradually gripped by fear as she quietly lifted the quilt up and looked out.

The room was quiet. The door was open, but Fang Mo’er was nowhere to be seen.

Her heart tightened and her forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Bai Rong looked at the empty room and felt as if she had been abandoned.

She endured the fear as she moved towards the door on trembling legs. Looking outside, the corridor was pitch black and she could not see anything. It was so quiet that not a sound could be heard.

She did not dare to go out by herself. She quickly turned around and closed the door. After locking the door, she ran back to the bed, her whole body shaking non-stop. She did not want to film this show anymore. She wanted to leave this place, but she did not know how to contact the program team. At this moment, her mind had gone blank due to the fear and she could not think of anything.

…

The night passed in the midst of Bai Rong’s fear and worry. Because she was so afraid, she did not sleep the whole night. She hugged the blanket and cowered in a corner without moving at all.

It was not until the dawn of the day that there was a commotion outside and her dull eyes finally snapped back to reality. She ran to the window and looked outside. It turned out that the other guests had also arrived.

Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo also heard the voices of the other guests. They quickly dressed up and put on their scary costumes. Each of them took a prop weapon and locked the door before splitting up and hiding in a corner.

Before they left, Fang Mo’er even packed some food.
