“Yan-3, arrange for an agent to clean up the news on the internet.”

Yan-3 had seen Yan Ruo’s att.i.tude toward Bai Lin with his own eyes. He immediately understood that Yan Ruo was trying to help Bai Lin deal with the negative speculations about her on the internet.

There was a saying that went “there are no stories without coincidences”. Yan-3’s contact happened to be Cheng Jian, who had just been fired by the Zheng Family.

This person was a well-known public opinion stirrer in the industry. There was no viral negative news that he could not clear. Similarly, if he wanted to discredit a celebrity, it was very easy.

“I understand Miss Bai Lin’s situation. I’ll take this order.”

Not only did he have some understanding, his previous boss was the one who asked him to defame Bai Lin!

Cheng Jian laughed. He hired paid posters to distort the truth. Those netizens

who liked to follow the trend would only follow what others said. The news that he had casually released would be interpreted and exaggerated without restraint. He liked this feeling of manipulating public opinion too much.

Xiao w.a.n.g held the question paper in confusion.

The escape room segment had just ended, so the interview was undoubtedly the best opportunity to clarify the rumors. Did Bai Lin not care about the slander on the internet at all?

Even if she did not care, the production team would!

Xiao w.a.n.g was quick-witted and tried to persuade her in a different way. “Lin-jie, there are many of your fans online. They’re also very curious about the process of your deduction!”

As soon as Bai Lin heard the word “fans”, she immediately perked up.

Xiao w.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief and showed Bai Lin the questions that Sun Han had filtered out.

“That’s right, Miss Bai. Look at these questions. Many of your fans have also mentioned them online. Our interview will be a livestream too, so you can explain your train of thought on solving the riddle while interacting with your fans. It’s a good opportunity to bond!”

When Bai Lin thought about the feeling she had when she responded to the fans’ enthusiasm at the airport, she felt a sense of comfort in her heart. This unexpected sweetness made her feel full of energy.

She looked at the questions on the paper and thought of more than a dozen answers.

The production team had hired a professional team to present the whole story of the ancient village to the audience in the form of a 3D animation!

There was a great drought. In addition to having no harvest, there was a rat infestation. The village chief led the villagers to make some cat teasers to lure the stray cats in the mountain out to catch the rats. He also took the initiative to distribute the food in his home to the villagers who were short of food.

However, as time pa.s.sed, some people began to have doubts.

There were almost no more rats left, but the village chief still suggested to go up the mountain to lure the cats. Besides, the village chief was farming like everyone else, so how could he have the extra reserve to share so much food?

A few young men barged into the village chief’s cellar to investigate and saw dozens of cat skins hanging on the wall. Some of them had been dried, and some were still b.l.o.o.d.y. The black cat raised by the village chief was actually sleeping among the corpses of its own kind.

Just after midnight, a cat’s meow was heard. Lao Zhang at the east of the village died. At that time, the black cat was not strong enough and was blinded in one eye by Lao Zhang’s bare hand. It caused it to later desperately collect the eyeb.a.l.l.s of its companions and put them on itself.

The story that followed was just as Bai Lin and the others had deduced. If they did not cook for the black cat, people would die. In less than two months, the village chief was the only living person left, but he was covered in an evil energy. The black cat, driven by the evil spirit, fused with countless corpses of its own kind to become a monster. Its soul was filled with resentment, and it finally killed the village chief with its fangs…

Zheng You was taken to the rest area where Ye Xing and the others were at for some treatment. She removed her disguise and did not take the initiative to talk to Ye Xing and the others.

Ye Xing was scrolling through her phone as she leaned on Li Xuan’s shoulder and chatted with him. “Xuan-ge, will the next episode be this scary as well? The simulation games I’ve played before were all girl adventures, I’ve never seen such a scene before. Thank you for always protecting me.”

“Are you scared? If you’re afraid, I’ll discuss with them and ask someone to replace you in the next episode. Let me think… I’ll swap you with Lulu.”

Lulu was an internet celebrity model who had recently gained a lot of popularity on the short video platforms. Ye Xing knew that Li Xuan was teasing her again and swatted Li Xuan’s arm. “You already have me and you still dare to think about someone else! How could you!’

Li Xuan laughed and hugged her even tighter.

“Eh? Xuan-ge, look, someone’s editing a couple video of Best Actor Yan and Bai Lin-jie online.”

Ye Xing could tell that Bai Lin was very important to Li Xuan, but that it would not affect her own status, so she even addressed her with more respect.

“Eh? Let me see.’

Intentionally or not, Li Xuan read out the Weibo post.

“Lin-jie and Best Actor Yan looked at each other when they were working together to subdue the black cat monster. That glance was as if they’ve known each other for ten thousand years with one look. I’d be the first to not believe it if someone says that these two don’t have feelings for each other! They often show this kind of look in Traveler.. I’m absolutely s.h.i.+pping the award-winning actor and the skilled martial arts beauty who took the entertainment industry by storm!”
